Top Of Glory[Esports] Chapter 4
bytreat
“Hechen?”
“…Morning.” He Chen nodded with his classmates and walked to the classroom with the computer in his arms. He couldn’t help but yawn behind the mask.
This class is a public class, the first class in the morning, held in a lecture theater.Although he didn’t have access to a computer, He Chen planned to make up for his homework in class, so he still brought a computer over.
Going to eight in the morning is also a test for He Chen who always stays up late.
But today seems a little different from usual.
He Chen could clearly notice the hesitation in the eyes of several classmates and frowned slightly.
The social platform is quiet, with no news except official account tweets.
After clicking in and eliminating a few red dots, He Chen thought about recent events.
He had already negotiated with the people at FP. Hacking into the server in the Jiangbei villa area and causing a power outage should be considered a solution, and there shouldn’t be any other problems.
Why is that?
After seeing the fourth student whose eyes were drifting towards him and whispering to the people around him, He Chen put on his hat and approached them.
“Excuse me, is there something wrong with me?”
“Ah…” The girl was bumped into by the person who was talking about it, and she blushed in embarrassment, “Uh… I don’t know how to describe it. You’d better go into the classroom and see for yourself.”
He couldn’t explain why, but when He Chen looked at the girl, he always felt that there was a secret sympathy on her face.
“…Okay, thank you.”
When He Chen walked in the door, he felt a “boom” in his ears.
The classroom was bustling with people, and the center of attention centered around a girl sitting in the first row.
The girl’s eyes were red and she was wearing brand-name clothes and shoes. She seemed to have cried just now.
She was sobbing, holding a stack of photos in her hand, and was timidly asking a classmate——
“…Do you know He Chen?”
Some vague eyes were focused on the door.
“That’s him…”
“Yes, last time the teacher called on you, this last name was quite special, so I paid attention to it.”
“What did he do? This rich girl Lihua brought rain to come to him. She couldn’t be deceiving people and being emotionally irresponsible…”
“Plus one.”
All kinds of speculations sprung up in He Chen’s ears.
He frowned and strode into the classroom.
Hechen first bowed and apologized to the old professor dealing with multimedia on the podium, and then turned to the girl.
When the girl saw He Chen, she looked him up and down first, and then called him as if she couldn’t believe it, “He Chen… why are you…”
“Come out and say it,” He Chen interrupted her, “Don’t disturb other people’s class.”
He took off his mask and walked out of the classroom first with an expressionless face.
The girl did not object and followed He Chen obediently outside the classroom.
“…”
“Stop crying.” He Chen showed no expression. “Whatever you want, just say it.”
The girl at this time looked completely different from the one in the classroom just now.
Those tears seemed to be shed by crocodiles, and they were instantly hidden in the color of the skin.
She raised her face and said, “I want to study abroad, but I need a tuition fee.”
“My family can’t afford this money, but you will help me, Hechen.”
The girl’s face was arrogant, but her voice was pitiful.
He Chen felt his heart being tightened, and the feeling of being out of breath appeared again.
…
“Cider is no longer renewed, and the rebellious boy has not signed a contract. When the manager of Royal heard about Cider’s transfer, he came to scold me… The headquarters even issued an ultimatum and threatened me to send a deputy. These are days of dire straits…” Qiao Zhi spent half a month so worried that his hair turned white.
He was sitting in the lounge, drinking soda and nuts. Lin An had just finished training, washed his face, and took a can of Coke. He sat next to him and took out his cell phone, not knowing what he was doing.
When George hummed and started singing Xiaobaicai, Lin An gave him a look.
“What are you looking at? You’re not even allowed to sing?”
“Sing.” Lin An dug out the microphone from the drawer and handed it to him when the team went on a camping trip. “Sing it louder so that the whole base can hear it better.”
Qiao Zhi stopped talking. Seeing Lin An carelessly playing with her mobile phone, she felt unbalanced and weird: “Which little brother or sister are you talking to? You can’t stop me even if you are desperate?”
He just said casually that the FP players had no airs and were used to making trouble. Lin An suddenly stood up and startled him.
“What are you doing…”
“Go out for a meal.” Lin An grabbed the coat on the back of the chair and started to go out.
“Huh?” Qiao Zhi suddenly felt a sense of crisis, “Auntie is almost ready to cook. Where are you going to hunt for wild food?”
Lin An shook his phone without looking back.
“Rebellious boy.”
…
He Chen never thought that he would have to meet Lin An again so soon, so he picked up the cup and took a sip of tea with some embarrassment.
Then he spat it out silently.
Hechen originally wanted to find the most cost-effective restaurant near the school to show his sincerity.
To this end, he searched many guides on campus forums and finally settled on this restaurant.
It is said that this place is a dating mecca for S-classes and has witnessed countless joys and sorrows between men and women.
He Chen despised him for going back on his word and felt a little sorry.
I was the one who said no before, but now, I am the one shyly making the request.
But now that he drank a sip of tea, He Chen felt uncertain.
I don’t know if after finishing this meal, he will achieve his preset, or will he be resented?
Was hesitating.It was dark in front of me.A man sat down unceremoniously.
“I didn’t keep you waiting too long, did I?” Lin An lowered his head and glanced at his watch.Check the time.
He Chen quickly shook his head.
Lin An rolled his eyes.
Sitting opposite him, He Chen paused, and could vaguely smell the fresh smell of laundry detergent or perfume coming from him.
Lin An nodded.
“That’s good. The waiter said just now that Mr. He is already waiting. I’m worried that I remembered the time wrongly.”
Can’t tell why.He Chen always had a strange feeling in his heart when he heard him call “Mr. He”.
He subconsciously covered his mouth and took another sip of tea to hide his embarrassment.
The astringent tea seemed to burn a hole in his mouth.
But He Chen was good at being patient, so he took it in his mouth and then swallowed it.
“…What’s wrong with you coming out to me?” Lin An noticed his discomfort and took the topic naturally.
There is indeed something going on.
But He Chen is not so ignorant.
“…Let’s eat first.”
Although he had prepared a draft in advance, He Chen still awkwardly fiddled with his phone.
Lin An took in all his little moves and found him very interesting, and was not in a hurry to get straight to the point.
The waiter served the food quickly.
Lin An glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and looked up at him.
Then I saw He Chen taking off his mask.
This was the first time Lin An faced his unobstructed face.
Just as he thought before, He Chen had a delicate and beautiful face under his mask.Because he is used to covering up all the time, his skin color is porcelain white from the inside out. Even his fleshy lips have no color, which makes him look a bit pitiful.
He Chen was also startled by the food served by the waiter, but by the time he reacted, it was already too late.
Colorful small dishes are arranged in a circle, surrounded by two white swans in the middle.
The white swan was kissing each other, looking infinitely ambiguous. The waiter looked at the two of them inexplicably, and then lit a circle of water under the swan with a lighter. In an instant, the sparkling lake water overturned, and rose petals spurted out, scattering all over the table.
At the same time, the two swans in the middle began to circle in a waltz of love.
He Chen: “…”
Help.
This was the only word that popped into Hechen’s mind.
He just chose the touching package recommended by the campus public account that would make men of steel cry. Why did he end up in this situation???
Be sure to report it when you go back to induce consumption.
The waiter said “take it easy” and left, looking here as he walked.
Hechen experienced being stared at like a monkey twice in just two days, and his nerves were numb. He simply gave up struggling, pretended not to hear the whispers of the waiter and the little sisters, and brainstormed about where else to have a good meal nearby.
A piece of steak was placed on the plate in front of me.
Lin An pulled off the pair of swans and threw them onto the nearby shelf holding the removed dishes. He then took a table knife and cut the steak into small pieces.
“Eat.”
He Chen thought about the vague number that Coco reported to him, and felt a little regretful, feeling that he had wronged him.
“Let’s find another one.”
“It’s okay, it’s quite delicious.” Lin An said against his will. There was no sign of reluctance at all in eating.
This person is still very good and should be able to tell the truth.
A small part of the defense line He Chen had originally erected for himself quietly collapsed.
“I invite you here this time because I want to ask. Last time you said you wanted to sign me, how exactly do you want to sign it?”
Lin An guessed that he was going to do this, but did not agree immediately. He put down his knife and fork, “Before talking about the specific process, if it is convenient, I would like to ask clearly why you refused last time and took the initiative to cooperate this time? We also have to consider the risks that need to be avoided. I hope you understand.”
When asking this question, Lin An stared at He Chen with his dark eyes.
This was the first time that Hechen felt aggression and aggression from him head-on.
Last time at the FP base, whether Cider refused to participate in the practice match or he agreed to compete in Cider’s place, this person seemed to be able to handle the situation even if the sky fell.
He Chen secretly took a breath, feeling embarrassed, but his usual disguised expression was on his face. He tried his best to maintain his cool boy persona and said——
“Because I didn’t know you gave me so much.”
Hechen lowered his head and remembered what Coco said in a private chat after he posted a message on Moments looking for work.
Coco: You are from the Computer Science Department of University S. Are you looking for a job in data maintenance?I can help you ask if the base needs it.
Hechen: Thank you.
Coco: Are you short of money?But if you work part-time, the salary won’t be much.
Hechen: It’s okay, thank you.
Coco: You’re welcome. Let’s play together when we have time.
Coco: But if you were short of money, why did you reject Manager Qiao and the captain that day? Even if you sign a second-team substitute, the money you make in one season is ten times that of a data maintainer.I thought you were one of those young masters who didn’t dare to call the parents when he got into trouble and regarded money as dirt…
Hechen:……
He’s not, really.
He just doesn’t know the market.
Lin An stared at the red tips of He Chen’s ears, pinched his index finger and thumb together, and crushed them unconsciously.
He thought to himself, if Qiao Zhi knew that He Chen came here for money, he wondered if he would regret not making a direct offer that day.
Having said that, Lin An felt strange in his heart.
He Chen’s total cost from head to toe probably didn’t exceed two hundred yuan, and his woolen hoodie was a little faded from the washing. Would such a person really give up for five buckets of rice?
