After Being Reborn, He Became An Ace In A Boy Band Chapter 23
byChapter 23 Being so nice to everyone?”You two will never break up,…
I slept well this time. It was already past ten o’clock when I opened my eyes. It was rare for Li Hu to wake up so late.
Today is a day off. Li Gou opened the curtains, and it was gloomy outside the window as if it was going to rain.He thought of the clothes he had hung on the balcony and wanted to put them in. He opened the bedroom door and found that they had been folded and placed on the sofa. Yuan Zhiyan was half lying on the sofa with a game controller in his hand. He saw Li Hu saying hello to him: “Get up, it’s so late today.”
“Morning.Li Hu went to pick up his clothes and said, “Did you collect them for me?”Thank you.”
“No, it’s Brother Ruining, he seems to have gotten up very early.”
“oh.”Li Go put the clothes back in the room, and Yuan Zhiyan shouted outside: “Brother Lan, do you want to play games?”
“What game?”Li Go walked out again, and Yuan Zhiyan had already taken out the other controller, “We can play with each other. I haven’t played for a long time. Oh my God, work really delays play!”
Li Go looked around and asked, “Where are the others?”
“Brother Ruining is in the room, and the other two are out.”
Li Go glanced at Tang Ruining’s closed room door, sat down on the sofa, and watched Yuan Zhiyan return to the Steam homepage and choose games with great interest.
“I don’t know how to play games.”Li Go said, looking at the dazzling game on the screen.
His previous entertainment activities were very poor, and his favorite games were Tetris and Snake.
“You’ll get it after learning.”Yuan Zhiyan didn’t take it seriously, handed the handle to his hand, and said: “Let’s play around in the kitchen, it’s very simple!For a while, I always dragged Brother Ruining to play with me. When Brother Ruining was not free, I would drag Brother Rongxiao and Xingye. I didn’t let anyone go, haha.”
Suddenly thinking of Jiang Yilan, whom he had ignored before, Yuan Zhiyan added: “Oh, yes, I never asked you to play with me before, but now I finally have a chance!”
Yuan Zhiyan basically taught him how to play and couldn’t wait to start the game.It is indeed not a complicated game, but for someone like Li Hu who has never played it before, it is not that easy to get started, especially since this is a game that requires the cooperation of two people. What Yuan Zhiyan opened was not the previous basic level, but his last archived level, which was already a certain level of difficulty.Soon the whole living room only heard Yuan Zhiyan’s voice:
“Oh, don’t block my way, it’s too late!”
“Don’t pick up the meat when it falls on the ground. Pick up another piece and speed up!”
“My good brother, don’t just focus on chopping vegetables, the pot is going to catch fire!”
“One more thing to go, hurry up, hurry up!Ahhhhhhhh it’s too late!!”
Li Hu basically didn’t realize what happened, and the game ended in chaos and failure.
“Dish.”There was a slight humiliation from behind, and the two of them looked back. Tang Ruining came out of the room at some unknown time.
Li Go accepted the lesson humbly, “Well, I don’t know how to play.”
“I’m talking about Yuan Zhiyancai.”Tang Ruining said ruthlessly, “You can’t even teach a newbie to understand.”
Yuan Zhiyan curled his lips and handed over the handle, “Then take it!”
Tang Ruining sat down, reopened the game, and said to Li Hu calmly: “Take your time, this level is divided into two moving blocks. Don’t waste time standing there waiting when the passage is not aligned. You can prepare what needs to be prepared first.”
During the next game, Tang Ruining’s reminders were very concise and the timing was perfect. It took them three more attempts to pass the level, but Li Hu already had a rough understanding of the gameplay and rhythm of the game.
The two of them cooperated very well in the next few levels. Li Hu was very involved in the game and instantly understood why games can make people addicted. He couldn’t imagine how happy he would have been if he had played these games as a child. He would not have curiously asked his roommate which country the movie was from when he mentioned Metal Slug, and was laughed at mercilessly by his roommate.
As the game progressed, the difficulty gradually increased. They were stuck in a level and couldn’t pass it several times. Yuan Zhiyan, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, became anxious and wanted to join in. He stamped his feet to urge them to hurry up.If Tang Ruining hadn’t had time to talk to Yuan Zhiyan, he would definitely have been scolded.
In the end, it failed. Li Gu was a little frustrated, put down the controller and sighed: “It’s so difficult.”
“It’s already good, it’s your first time playing.”Tang Ruining said, “It’s much better than when Yuan Zhiyan played it for the first time.”
“It was my first time to play and I had a great time!Yuan Zhiyan protested, “How about I play this strong one?””
“Then why can Yilan and I play well, but you can’t?”
Yuan Zhiyan was speechless by the facts, “Okay, okay, okay, you two will never break up and stay together forever!””
This game is also known as “Breakup Kitchen”. It was nicknamed because couples tend to quarrel when playing it. Everyone who plays it knows it and basically calls it this way.But Li Go didn’t know, and was stunned after hearing this, “…ah?”
“Ignore him.Tang Ruining said, “He is sore.””
“Do you want to play anything else?” He asked Li Hu again. Li Hu turned his head and smelled a familiar smell of plaster floating in the air. He looked around Tang Ruining and asked him: “Are you injured somewhere?”
“Um?Realizing that the ointment had a strong smell, Tang Ruining replied: “No, I have an old problem with my shoulder. Sometimes it hurts, so I just put some medicine on it.””
“If your shoulder hurts, don’t play games for a long time.”Li Go put the handle on the coffee table and said, “Let’s take a rest.”
Time flew by while playing the game, Li Go looked at the clock on the wall and said, “It’s time for lunch.”
They took out the dumplings in the refrigerator and cooked them. Wei Qiyao brought them to him last time when he came to see him. They were made by Aunt Fang. Wei Qiyao said that he used to love eating dumplings made by Aunt Fang.
After cooking a large pot, Yuan Zhiyan only ate one, then looked at Li Huo with tears in his eyes – probably because he was burned – and asked him: “Do you sell the dumplings made by Aunt Fang?I want to buy some to take home next time so I can skip a few meals cooked by my parents.”
Li Hu smiled: “I’ll ask you next time.”
The rain outside finally stopped, and Li Hu looked out the window, “Brother Rong Xiao and Xing Ye, did you bring umbrellas when you went out?”
“Don’t worry, you won’t get wet.”Yuan Zhiyan stuffed the last dumpling into his mouth, “They will call a taxi.”
Li Hu turned around and found Tang Ruining staring at him, with a bit of coldness in his eyes.Li Go paused for a moment and looked back with questioning eyes.
Tang Ruining lowered his eyes, poked the dumplings in the bowl, put them in his mouth and chewed them carefully. When he raised his head again, there was no emotion at all, which made Li Hu suspect that he had thought too much just now.
After dinner, Yuan Zhiyan went to wash the dishes, humming happily while doing so.As the song was about to end, the sound of a bowl breaking was heard.
Li Go ran over, and Yuan Zhiyan was squatting down to pick up the debris on the ground.
Li Hu quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him up, “Don’t pick it up with your hands, are you stupid?”
He spread Yuan Zhiyan’s hands and was relieved when he saw that he didn’t cut himself, and said, “I’ll get a broom to sweep it, don’t move.”
Tang Ruining was also standing at the door of the kitchen, and he said, “I’ll go get it, but don’t move, either of you.”
He swept up the debris and went downstairs to throw out the trash.
It was raining heavily outside. Tang Ruining stood under the eaves and watched for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.
When he came back, he was already soaked, and Li Hu looked at him in shock, “What are you doing?”
“Take out the trash.”
“Isn’t the trash can downstairs?”Li Go raised the temperature of the air conditioner in the living room, “Go and take a bath quickly, don’t get too cold.””
“Not here today.Tang Ruining replied slowly, still standing at the door without moving.
“Don’t throw it out in the rain if you’re not here, can’t you just leave it at the door first?”Li Go said as he pulled the person in, not knowing how he got himself soaked like he was fished out of the river.
When he came out of the shower, Li Go asked, “Has the plaster been taken off? Do you want to put it on again?””
“Um.”
Li Go still had the plaster given by Tang Ruining, so he went to get a piece of it.
Tang Ruining sat down on the sofa, opened his collar and lowered his head slightly.Li Go gently pressed his shoulder with his finger, “Is it this position?”
Tang Ruining held his hand and moved him a little further inside. Then he turned his head and pressed his face against the back of Li Hu’s hand.
“Here.” he whispered.
“…Okay.Li Hu waited for a few seconds and couldn’t help but said: “Then can you let go, so that I can help you stick it.””
“oh.”
In the afternoon, the three of them wanted to find a movie to watch. After spending a long time choosing, not knowing what to watch, they finally picked “Pacific Rim”.
Halfway through the film, Li Hu found Tang Ruining sleeping next to him.
…How can I fall asleep while watching a movie like this? Is it too early to get up in the morning?
He looked tired with his head tilted, so Li Go gently gave him a pillow.
As soon as he completed the difficult task of stuffing the pillow between his head and the armrest of the sofa, Tang Ruining woke up, opened his eyes and looked at him.
“I want to give you a pillow.”Too close, Li Huan explained.
Perhaps because he hadn’t woken up, or perhaps he just wanted to know, Tang Ruining looked at the very pure eyes that didn’t contain too many emotions and asked directly what was in his heart:
“Why are you so nice to everyone?”
