Top Of Glory[Esports] Chapter 43

Thoughts

He Chen realized from Li Song’s previous reaction that he probably didn’t like e-sports and didn’t pay attention to this circle, so he didn’t know his recent developments, so there was no pressure to trick him.

But it would be a different matter if Lin An saw it.

He Chen was brainstorming quickly and was trying to find a reason to talk to Lin An, but he forgot that there was a talking trash person next to him.

“Is he your sponsor?” Li Song looked suspicious, “He doesn’t look very rich.”

He Chen: “…”

Lin An: “…”

No way, Lin An didn’t pay much attention to his clothes. He only wore formal clothes twice unless it was a formal event. He wore a team uniform during the game, and usually wore a simple T-shirt and sweatpants when he was outside. He was so plain that he didn’t even have a logo. He looked like a college student and had nothing to do with being rich.

Lin An quickly exchanged glances with He Chen, and guessed about his relationship with the person in front of him from his reaction.

I haven’t seen him for a long time and I’m not familiar with him. I asked Hechen for help, but Hechen was disgusted.

“You misunderstood.” Lin An walked over and naturally hugged He Chen’s uncontrollable waist.

“I’m not his sponsor,” Lin An glanced at He Chen angrily, “I’m the pretty boy he kept.”

He Chen: “…”

He Chen felt Lin An’s palm pinch his waist apologetically. He was speechless for a moment, but a blush quietly appeared on his ears.

The demeanor of Li Song and his group visibly changed from contempt before to stunned admiration now. He Chen couldn’t bear to see their reactions and turned away.

Judging from Li Song’s reaction, he was helpless after being exposed.

That works.Li Song thought to himself, spend the money of the benefactor to keep the pretty boy, swipe the benefactor’s card and treat the pretty boy to dinner.

It seemed that He Chen’s financial backer was quite generous. No matter how he swiped his card, it must be easy to do him a favor. The look in He Chen’s eyes became even more eager.

Lin An was obviously much more skilled at deceiving people than He Chen.

He looked at Li Song warily, “Chenchen, this is…”

He Chen choked, his head aching from drinking and feeling even dizzy.

“Little brother, don’t get me wrong.” Although Li Song vaguely felt that Lin An’s somewhat lazy temperament did not look like a student, but his pride trumped his reason, “We are just ordinary friends, and I want to ask He Chen for a favor.”

“Really?” Lin An looked away and looked at He Chen, who was draped under his arm, as if asking for confirmation, “Why don’t you know you are celebrating your birthday today if you are a friend?”

“It’s the first time I’ve heard of asking someone to do something with nothing.”

Li Song couldn’t stop laughing.

Things had completely deviated from what He Chen had thought at the beginning. He didn’t know what the process of Lin An’s script was, so he could only watch him perform.

“I really don’t know, so let’s do this,” Li Song gritted his teeth, “Whatever you like today, I’ll pay for it.”

He Chen was a little surprised and looked at Lin An.

Li Song is working so hard to get orders now, and he probably doesn’t have much money left in his family. He is actually willing to bleed a lot of money under Lin An’s deception?

“But we have agreed,” Li Song smiled reluctantly, “then you have to help me book a place here.”

“No…” He Chen didn’t want to get involved with him and wanted to refuse, but Lin An readily agreed.

“Sure.” Lin An quickly took out his mobile phone and clicked on a brand’s official shopping website. He hooked up to Hechen’s official website and said coquettishly, “I want to buy this.”

He Chen: “…”

who are you?Get off Lin An quickly.

Although Lin An’s face was very confusing, but with his naturally magnetic voice, He Chen couldn’t bear to be so coquettish.

“Is that okay?” Lin An saw that he had a complicated look on his face, but didn’t answer. He pinched his waist to urge him, and continued to ask questions without hesitation.

“…Okay.” Does He Chen dare not do it?He just asked Lin An to quickly collect his magical powers.

Li Song gritted his teeth and paid Lin An tens of thousands, almost to pieces. He thought silently in his heart that he couldn’t bear to leave his children, and if he could win a big deal from Yinglin Entertainment, he would be able to earn back all of this at once.

Li Song and his party left after finishing their work, and He Chen was a little worried.

“This won’t cause trouble for the team, right? Li Song’s family’s current financial situation should be average. If you cheat him out of money like this, I’m afraid he’ll jump over the wall.” He Chen pulled Lin An’s sleeve.

“It’s okay. He wants to give gifts in exchange for a reservation here. It’s his own business. What does it have to do with us?” Lin An reassured him.

“How do you know he can’t handle the business?” He Chen keenly captured the meaning of his words and asked curiously.

“I didn’t know originally.” Lin An sighed helplessly and made a call in front of He Chen.

Under the influence of alcohol, He Chen’s eyes straightened and he stared at Lin An’s cell phone, feeling confused.

Lin An looked at the company on the business card that Li Song brought and asked on the phone: “Uncle? Have you recently cooperated with this… Qingyun Media?”

I don’t know what was said over there, but Lin An had already expected it, “I know this is not your responsibility. Please help me ask. If you really want to cooperate, check them out. This company may be a bit risky.”

“…Stop nagging, I’ll hang up first.”

“Who are you calling?” The first can of beer finally had its effect, and He Chen was already a little heady.

“Call the boss of his partner,” Lin An said calmly, “I wasn’t sure before, but this time his business will definitely be ruined.”

“Oh.” He Chen couldn’t tell whether he was happy or not. Lin An stopped acting now and helped him outside like a gentleman.

The moon was full and the stars were sparse. Lin An took him to find a chair outside to sit down. He asked the waiter for a grapefruit tea and asked him to add more honey.

Under this situation, He Chen was still able to analyze it in detail, “How do you know which company Li Song wants to cooperate with?”

“I didn’t know about it originally. I only heard about it when his colleagues urged him, so I just asked him.”

“Do you call their senior leader brother-in-law?” He Chen recalled the news he had browsed on the Internet before. “So you are really the second generation of the rich family? Why don’t you be the heir at home and play e-sports? It will be much easier if someone paves the way for you.”

Lin An smiled and said, “How can you say that you should be an heir when you are an heir? Large families are very complicated, and equity inheritance or changes are very troublesome. I am afraid of trouble.”

He Chen felt the same and nodded.

“More importantly, I don’t like it.” Lin An relaxed his shoulders naturally, as if he was saying he didn’t like a piece of cake.

“What about you? If you don’t like that person, has he bullied you before?” Lin An said and leaned over, using his back to block the night wind, and massaged his temples.

As soon as the slightly cool fingertips touched it, He Chen’s frown immediately relaxed a little.

“It’s not something worth talking about.” He Chen subconsciously avoided talking about his past and felt a little annoyed. If he had known that Lin An would catch him, he would have just dumped Li Song and let him go. He had caused so many troubles for nothing and dug a hole for himself.

“That’s not okay.” Lin An prevented him from escaping this time. He circled his arms and brought He Chen back to the chair again, trapping him in his arms. “You just listened to my secret, and now you want to exchange it with me. You are not allowed to cheat.”

He Chen’s reaction after drinking alcohol was not as good as usual. He only felt a bitter taste in his mouth, but he still sat in his original position and did not move.

In less than a month, I told Lin An about my personal affairs twice…

This is no longer him.

He couldn’t tell whether his thoughts had crossed the line or whether Lin An was too entangled.

He Chen pursed his lips and said, “It’s not a big deal. You should know about my family’s affairs.”

Lin An nodded.

“The incident was quite ugly at the time, but the radiation range of the accident itself was not that large. The real public opinion promoters were those in the group. Everyone pushed against the wall, and more and more dirty water was poured on my father, but a dead man will not open his mouth to defend himself. I was too busy to take care of myself at the time, and I had no time to deal with it.”

After many years, He Chen’s eyes were full of indifference when he mentioned these.

“My grades were pretty good. I applied for No. 3 Middle School as my first choice, but in the end I got a special scholarship and got into Licheng.”

Licheng School was somewhat famous in City S. Lin An remembered that some juniors in her family also went to this school and took international classes to prepare for studying abroad. However, the college entrance examination class was relatively average. At least it was very different from the key school No. 3 Middle School.

He Chen didn’t say much, but Lin An instantly realized that he should have needed the money very much at that time.

“At that time, the school was full of young boys, and the family was much more powerful. They wanted to join Licheng’s international class.” He Chen said, “They would know about my family’s affairs just by looking into it, not to mention that there were still people who acted as loudspeakers. They didn’t bully me.”

Lin An frowned.

He held Hechen’s hand and gently stroked the end of his hair. Looking at the redness at the end of his eyes due to the smell of alcohol, he didn’t understand the brain circuits of Hechen’s classmates.

How could anyone be willing to bully He Chen?

The missing tendon in Hechen’s head was now replaced. He smiled easily, “Not everyone takes care of me like you do.”

“Sometimes I don’t know what you see in me.” He Chen just said it.

Lin An was speechless for a moment, knowing that he probably didn’t mean anything more, and that wasn’t the first thing he paid attention to.

He had discovered before that although He Chen worked hard in life, he had a less obvious self-loathing.

“You don’t have to feel sorry for me. I fought back very well.” He Chen tried hard to recall what happened at that time and told Lin An: “At that time, Li Song’s family still had some background, and they could spend a lot of money to form gangs.”

“It’s nothing for him to offend me. I signed a contract with the school and it’s impossible to transfer to another school. But there are more people in the school that he can’t afford to offend. So he kept walking to the river, and finally got it wrong.”

“Not only him, but also his family has been implicated.” He Chen raised his head as if claiming credit, his eyes were slightly bent, and his dark pupils were full of moons, “Am I powerful?”

Lin An looked at him, her heart almost bursting with pain. She couldn’t think of settling the lawsuit for him.

He Chen just didn’t want to betray his misery in front of Lin An. He had already dealt with the past matter, so what did it have to do with Lin An.

He hoped that when he stood in front of Lin An, he would be a normal, unblemished person.

He didn’t wait for Lin An’s compliment, but he did wait for a hug.

Lin An circled him and rubbed his back soothingly, as if he was comforting the thin boy who was blocked in the bathroom and attacked with words, fists and kicks from a distance.

He Chen’s body stiffened for a moment, and then he let him go.

The two of them hugged each other quietly under the moonlight. In the end, it was He Chen who broke the calm first.

He pushed Lin An away and took out a box from the front pocket of his jacket, which Lin An had just stuffed into it.

“…What is this?” He looked at Lin An not knowing why.

“My birthday gift to you.” Lin An said.

He Chen was speechless and subconsciously looked at his wrist.

The bracelet Lin An gave her reflected the luster of metal at night. He Chen knew without Lin An’s need to explain why he originally ordered this bracelet.

But now he was unsure, “I thought this was a gift…”

“This is a gift, but it was given in advance, so there is no surprise. I want you to receive another gift from Lin An on your birthday.” Lin An held his hand.

“Why?” He Chen was confused.

“No reason.” Lin An’s eyes were as gentle as the splashing moonlight, “Just like I like you, there is no reason.”
