Those Sweet Times
Chapter 51 Part 2
Xiang Nuan"s parents warmly welcomed their daughter"s teammates, laying out a bunch of drinks and snacks. Xiang Nuan said to them: “We"ll enjoy them after we come back.” She then said to her teammates: “Let"s go. It"s almost time.”
“What"s the hurry.” Ren Danyan objected: “Let Chuyan and them have some warm water. They came all this way to see you. How can you not let them at least sit down for a while. This isn"t the way to treat your friends.”
“We"ll drink it after we come back. It"s about time for our fight. Let"s go, let"s go!”
After the young people left the house, Ren Danyan pointed at the door and complained to Xiang Daying: “Tell me, whom does she take this hastiness from?”
Xiang Daying amusedly said: “What do you think? I"m not a hasty person anyway.”
Ren Danyan opened the door and saw Xiang Nuan was hand in hand with Yang Yin walking further and further away with the others. Ren Danyan called after her daughter: “Nuannuan, do you need your scarf?”
“No need.” Xiang Nuan replied loud and clear. With a raised tone, her voice was especially sweet and crisp, just like a pear just picked from a tree in fall.
……
Xiang Nuan worshiped Yang Yin from the bottom of her heart. Yang Yin also liked Xiang Nuan the moment she laid eyes on her. Who wouldn"t like such a beautiful girl?
The two girls. .h.i.t it off right away and happily conversed along the way.
Lin Chuyan walked behind them. He looked at their holding hands and felt…...very jealous.
There were more than 30 teams registered to play the compet.i.tion at the shopping center. The compet.i.tion was single elimination, best of three. There were some games for the audience to partic.i.p.ate in, such as guessing which team would be the winner. It was modeled after a real compet.i.tion.
Most of the audience voted for Xiang Nuan"s team as the most likely to win. The votes had to be exchanged by purchasing receipts, so there were only a limited amount of votes to go around. Xiang Nuan"s team seemed to be the most popular one.
Xiang Nuan was quite happy with the result, thought found it rather embarra.s.sing. She touched her chin and said in a deep voice: “It looks like our team"s domineering aura is too obvious.”
Waiwai didn"t have the heart to tell her that the audience was only judging the teams by their looks.
They found their seats and readied themselves for the game. Xiang Nuan sat next to Yang Yin. She discovered that once Yang Yin got into the gaming mode, her presence totally changed. Yang Yin looked like an ordinary girl in appearance, but now she was wholly engrossed in the game and gave out an enchanting presence, like a queen.
“Yin Jiejie, do you have anything to say?” Xiang Nuan asked.
Yang Yin thought about it and simply said: “Just stay still and look pretty.”
Xiang Nuan thought: What confidence!
Waiwai thought: How alluring!
… …
Yang Yin was playing Shen Zemu"s archer position. The team played from morning till evening. Xiang Nuan truly felt like she didn"t have to do a thing, just standing there. Xiang Nuan"s responsibility was to protect their archer, but Yang Yin was so stable that she didn"t really need any protection. Yang Yin expertly maneuvered her champion, always knowing exactly when to appear at the right location. The team could always find a safe spot to deal maximum damage upon the enemy…...There was nothing to worry about this archer and Xiang Nuan, as a support, felt rather useless.
“Yin Jiejie, how can you play so well.” Xiang Nuan envied her.
Yang Yin smiled: “I"m a professional player.”
“Are all professional players as good as you?”
Yang Yin thought for a while then said: “To tell the truth, most of them are better than I am. I"m just a coach now.”
Xiang Nuan now thought that all professional players were truly frightening……
Under the leadership of a professional player, Xiang Nuan"s team won the compet.i.tion and was awarded 10,000 RMB.
Xiang Nuan was so thrilled, she felt like flying.
It was a totally different feeling to receive her share of 2000 RMB since she had earned the money through her and her teammates own efforts. With the money in hand, she felt like shouting: “I"m number one!”
They went for dinner to celebrate their triumph. As their host, Xiang Nuan was buying.
They chose to eat BBQ and ordered beers. Lin Chuyan couldn"t drink since he had to drive later, but the others all had a little too much to drink.
