GTRSH Chapter 6

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Yu Xinche.

He Ci also looked over.

Their eyes met, and He Ci gestured for him to speak first.

Yu Xinche: “…”

Actually, he hasn’t thought about what to say.

After a brief brainstorm with his eyes closed, he looked at He Ci, and said with difficulty: “Umm give me an autograph too.”

He Ci looked a little surprised, but he quickly agreed: “Sure.”

Yu Xinche breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second He Ci shook his head slightly, as if he felt very sorry: “I thought you wanted to keep me to play one more round.”

His expression was very natural when he said this, and he even gave people a sense of humility, as if “it turns out that I was narcissistic.”

After hearing this, the other people thought that He Ci was feeling regretful, and they all walked up the stairs to invite him to play another game.

Only Yu Xinche stood nearby, turned his head away.

Because he caught a flash of a teasing smile in He Ci’s eyes when he spoke.

That’s not modesty at all, He Ci was making fun of him!

Yu Xinche raised his hand and touched his face. Fortunately, it was not hot.

He thought angrily that He Ci was still more likeable in the game.

At this time, his shoulder was poked, and He Ci handed over a piece of paper: “Here, the autograph.”

“Besides, I wasn’t going to leave.” He Ci explained, “My phone kept ringing just now. I’ll answer it and come back later.”

Yu Xinche glanced at him silently. He thought to himself, you were holding your phone and wearing a mask, making such a big fuss, and not telling me in advance, everyone would misunderstand you.

“I wanted to say it, but you were too anxious and didn’t let me.” He Ci seemed to know what he was thinking and added fuel to the fire with a smile.

Yu Xinche was so angry that he glared at He Ci in anger.

But he don’t know if it was an illusion, but when He Ci saw his expression, the smile on his face seemed to become more obvious.

Yu Xinche was thin-skinned and would blush whenever he answered a question when he was a child. His condition improved as he grew up, but he had never seen someone like He Ci who didn’t talk properly and had to tease him.

After a few back and forths, he could clearly feel his face getting hot, maybe even turning red.

He turned his face away and warned He Ci in his heart to stop.

He Ci seemed as if he had heard it, and finally stopped saying anything. He picked up his phone and went out.

“FIX is ​​not what I imagined.” As soon as the door closed, the people in the room suddenly changed their tone and began to discuss in low voices.

“Too kind, and even jokes with people, which is unlike him.”

“Yes, doesn’t he always act so arrogant during the games and the post-match interviews? He’s also quite cool during livestream. When he plays games in private, it’s in this style and even gives me the blue. Ahhh, my gaming career is complete.” Qi Han was immersed in his memories from just now.

“Yes, and he is also very nice to his support. What do you think, Xinche?”

“It’s okay. I don’t know how he performs in the competition.” Yu Xinche said vaguely.

“By the way, you just said that he met a college student during the livestream, what happened?” someone asked Qi Han.

“Oh, I also saw it in a comment section. It said that He Ci met a stranger in the ranking game. He seemed to admire his support and asked him if he wanted to play professionally. I don’t know anything else.”

Yu Xinche finally let go of his worries.

The friends around him who play games with him were not internet addicts who were fully devoted to games. They just played a few games when they were free and watch the competitions when they had time. They don’t pay attention to the private situations of the players.

Seeing that everyone present seemed to be completely clueless, Yu Xinche reasonably guessed that among the dozen or so people who were familiar with his game account, except Qi Han, the others probably had not heard of He Ci’s livestream.

On the other end, the person being discussed was talking to the club manager Xu Le.

“What’s wrong?”

Xu Le explained that there was some material that required him to come to the base to shoot the day after tomorrow.

“Okay, I understand. Any other arrangements?” He Ci asked.

“The coaching staff has recently selected a few new players. If they are suitable, they will be placed in the second team. Do you want to come to the base to watch the assessment?”

“when?”

“Plan for next Monday.”

There were still a few days left. He Ci thought for a moment and asked, “Is it convenient to postpone it for a few days?”

“Sure, the players are staying at the base right now, so any time is fine. Would you mind telling me in advance if it’s convenient for you?”

“OK.”

After hanging up the phone, He Ci returned to the private room where he was playing the game.

Just now he didn’t give a clear answer as to whether he wanted to continue playing or not. Now as soon as he came in, several classmates came to try to keep him.

Unable to refuse the kind invitation, He Ci sat down again.

Time always flies when playing games. he won three games in a row and it was seven o’clock.

Several people clamored to have dinner with He Ci, and Yu Xinche also politely echoed a few words.

“The roads are jammed at this hour, why not eat first?”

“That’s true.” He Ci nodded and looked at him, “Lead the way.”

Yu Xinche stood up and walked in front, without joining Qi Han and the others’ conversation. He frowned slightly, feeling that something was not right.

He Ci was a little too patient. Playing games together could be explained as them being too enthusiastic to refuse, but eating together was too intimate.

Yu Xinche could feel that he was not the type of person who could get along so well with others naturally. There was a subtle arrogance and distance in his every move. How could such a person agree to have dinner with someone he met for the first time?

Did He Ci recognized him?

Probably not. The next second, Yu Xinche denied this idea.

The account was different, he hadn’t played the Mist and Flower Girl from the day before, and his playing style wasn’t easy to recognize.

What’s more, he had blocked He Ci. If he was really recognized by He Ci, He Ci would probably be angry with him and would be even less likely to give them this face¹Face: “面子” (main zi) signifies respect or dignity in social interactions, the speaker is doing something out of consideration for others’ feelings or social standing..

The development of things was a little beyond Yu Xinche’s expectations, and he couldn’t figure it out.

However, this was not the only surprising thing.

There were several prosperous business districts near their school, three shopping malls near the Internet cafe, and many restaurants and snack bars on the neighboring streets.

The restaurants in shopping malls were more formal and relatively more expensive, which was not cost-effective for college students. They only came here for gatherings or celebrations, and usually went to roadside home-style restaurants.

After a few people came out of the Internet cafe while chatting, they habitually turned left and went to the barbecue restaurant they often went to.

Under normal circumstances, Yu Xinche would realize the problem immediately and it would be inappropriate to take He Ci to the snack street.

But unfortunately, he was busy replying to messages the whole way and just followed them silently, not paying attention to where he was going.

Just now, the senior sister’s game assistant received a notification to log in, and after discovering that he was ranking with He Ci, the senior sister launched a round of bombardment on him.

– Senior: I’ve been busy doing experiments recently. I saw a melon²Melon: “瓜” (gua) stands for gossips, and eating melon means watching or enjoying gossip or drama without being involved. in the guild group chat last night. The protagonist looks more and more like you. I didn’t have time to ask you. Did you play with him again today?

The senior schoolmate took good care of him, and Yu Xinche explained truthfully: [I was playing games with Qi Han and his friends in the internet cafe, and I ran into him by accident.]

Yu Xinche typed again and asked, “How do you know that he had taken a fancy to me before?”

Before sending it, he thought for a moment and deleted the word “taken a fancy” and replaced it with another word.

– How do you know I played with him before?

– Senior: He was live streaming at that time

– Senior: Didn’t you say that a lot of people added you recently? I guess it’s because of this.

“???”

Yu Xinche had a lot of question marks on his mind. Even though he didn’t know much about e-sports, he could sense that He Ci’s matter would have a huge impact.

Isn’t this the equivalent of a famous teacher asking undergraduate students by name in an open class: You are very insightful, do you want to study as my graduate student?

Not only does it violate normal procedures, but it would be so embarrassing to express your appreciation in public and get rejected.

Yu Xinche couldn’t bear to think about it, fearing that he would be embarrassed, so he simply asked the senior:

– So when I said I didn’t know him and it was also broadcasted live?

– What are people saying online?

– Kitten’s paw covers face.gif

There was silence for two seconds on the other end of the line, and then she sent a few screenshots.

Yu Xinche clicked on it and found it was an APP he had never used before, which might be related to e-sports.

Most of the screenshots were mocking He Ci, mixed with comments about his two assists.

【It can be seen that He Ci really needs a Support】

【FIX, wake up, you are live streaming, how dare you blurt out such a big thing??】

【He Ci: I just think this support suits my taste. It’s not that I’m desperate for support.】

【What’s even more outrageous is that your prince put his pride away to ask, but the other person didn’t recognize him.】

【I really died of laughter. I wanted to see what He Ci’s expression was at that time and whether he could still hold himself together.】

【Black fans is happy】

【《Fans: Darkest Hour》】

【I can only say that your father He is really hungry. Is this kind of support worth inviting?】

【Not as good as SWAN’s one finger】

【I don’t see how the Mist Girl fights well. She only has a few skills. Isn’t it just pressing the button wherever it’s bright? I can do it too.】

【This wave of awareness is so poor, I can’t figure out what He Ci is interested in】

This comment was followed by a series of replies, all discussing his actions.

The font of the reply was smaller and a little blurry. Yu Xinche still couldn’t see it clearly after enlarging the picture.

He cut out this part and gave it to the senior student, asking:

– I can’t see clearly here. Why do you say there is something wrong with my operation? Didn’t I control the opponents?

The senior student didn’t expect his attention to be focused here, and she sent three dull cat head emojis to express her shock.

– Is that the point?!

– I was ready to comfort you, but you came to me for academic discussion

– Okay, okay, it seems that you are a player with a big heart, and are indeed suitable for the professional field. He Ci has good vision

Yu Xinche was about to reply when someone suddenly pulled his cross-body bag.

He raised his head and looked at He Ci, who was half a step behind him, in confusion.

He Ci pointed his finger in front of him and said, “You didn’t even look at the road the whole time. I thought you were more familiar with the terrain here than the game map.”

Yu Xinche looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a utility pole in front of him.
