Book 1: The Return of the Lost King
Chapter 18: Invite Him/Her Home for Dinner Sometime.
......
As they talked, time quickly flew by. By the time he noticed, they had crossed the bridge.
“Just here is fine. I can get back home myself.” Yang Qian Qian stopped at the next crossroad and said to Yu Luocheng.
“I better see you to the door,” Yu was being a gentleman.
Certainly, in his head, he had a different script; he walked her to her door and found that there was no one at home, he therefore walked in with her, then…...then…...they played League of Legends the whole night.
Well, it’s probably better to just go their separate ways.
“It’s not necessary. My dad usually waits for me nearby. If he sees me walk back with a handsome guy, he’ll grill you about your family background……” Yang Qian Qian said.
Yu Luocheng was happy to hear the first part of what she said, hum, she said he was handsome, but the latter part didn’t sound that great.
“Then, maybe we can chat some more here?” Yu wasn’t ready to say goodbye yet.
“No more chatting. Bye ~” Yang Qian Qian gave him a sultry look, turned, and slowly walked into an alley…..
Yu Luocheng made a note of the location and went home after she left. It was still early enough to play a few ranked games. Tomorrow he had to play with Yang Qian Qian; he figured that her level wouldn’t be too high and it would give him a chance to practice the new champion “The Chain Warden - Thresh.”
Yang Qian Qian’s curvy silhouette was stretched long under the street light.
She walked slowly, stopped in front of a house with a fence, and rang the doorbell.
A she was waiting for someone to open the door, Yang thought about what just happened.
“This guy is so forgetful and always looks at me in a perverted way. So disgusting.” Yang Qian Qian grudgingly thought.
Then she had a sly smile on her face after she thought about it more. “It’s nice that he hasn’t recognized me. I can tease him some more. I can get even with him for all the bullying before. He even said I was short.”
Yang wasn’t short at all now, actually her beautiful legs were longer than most of the girls. Who knew what had happened between her and Yu Luocheng that she wanted revenge now.
“Qian Qian, I didn’t know you had free time to visit your auntie today? You haven’t come for quite some time. You used to come often, now you’ve grown up and don’t come as often. Ah, you are more beautiful now. Look at your face, what a nice figure.” Inside the house, a middle-aged woman opened the door with a big smile. She kept talking after she saw Yang at the door.
“Auntie, stop complimenting me. I was having some food with classmates nearby. It’s getting late, I’ll stay here with auntie tonight.” Yang said.
“Haha, you’ve learned to lie now.” The woman laughingly accused her. She deliberately glanced at the intersection before and said, “You’re obviously dating a boy classmate. Don’t make up a story about having food with classmates.”
“I wasn’t.” Yang hurriedly clarified with a flushed face.
“Admit it, just now I saw everything from the window upstairs. I wasn’t sure it was you at first. Ai, it’s alright, I won’t tell your dad. Qian Qian has grown up and being so pretty, there certainly will be boys attracted to you. If you find someone you like, just be friends. Don’t get too involved, school is still important. What’s that boy’s name? He looks familiar, but I can’t remember from which family……” Her auntie spoke quickly.
Yang’s ears were turning red now.
Even though she dealt with boys more naturally than other girls, she was still uneasy with her auntie’s wild speculation.
“Auntie, it really isn’t what you think……”
“Alright, alright, I won’t say any more. En, bring him over for dinner when you have time. You know I’m very open minded.”
“Auntie!” Yang unhappily stopped her aunt.
The woman laughed but stopped talking.
……
The sunlight streaming through the window fell on a pair of yellowed sandals next to the bed.
Yu Luocheng woke up. The first thing he saw was the time: shit, ten o’clock!
At first he was terrified!
Then, he realized that it was Sunday.
There was no school on Sunday. He was relieved.
……
Yu Luocheng followed his daily routine: brushing his teeth, washing his face, and eating breakfast.
He had a secret ritual before playing LoL. He had to shower, change clothes, and wash his hands before he played ranked……
It seemed that if he was more presentable, then the chance for him to win would be higher.
“Ding ling ling ~ ~ ~”
Yu was washing his hair when the house phone rang.
Li Yun came out of the kitchen in a hurry, wiped her hands on her apron, then picked up the phone.
“Hello, who are you looking for?”
“Ayi, how are you? I’m Yu Luocheng’s classmate.” A soft and pretty voice came from the other end.
Li Yun’s eyes brightened up. A girl was looking for Luocheng on a weekend morning.
Li Yun looked over at the bathroom and saw Yu was drying his hair. She silently nodded: sure, my Xiaocheng is so handsome, it’s normal that girls liked him.
“En, I’ll get him.” Li Yun called to Yu.
“Young lady, you have a very nice voice. You must be a beautiful girl?” Li Yun took the opportunity to poke around while Yu was putting his towel away.
“I’m ok. Ayi’s voice is very nice too. I’m sure you’re a young and beautiful mom.”
Li Yun laughed and thought: this girl sure can sweet talk. If she was Yu’s girl friend in school, then maybe one day when Yu’s dad wasn’t home, she would have Yu to bring her home for dinner.
Haha, on that note, Li Yun and Yang Qian Qian’s aunt were on the same page.
“Hello, you looking for me?” Yu Luocheng didn’t know who it was.
“I’m Yang Qian Qian!” A somewhat pouty voice came through.
“Oh, oh, what’s the matter?”
“You are not online. I played by myself and lost two rounds! !” Yang Qian Qian spoke in annoyance.
Yu could imagine Yang’s puffed up cheeks when he heard her unhappy voice; she must be very cute to look at now.
“Uh…… sorry, I overslept.” Yu Luocheng just remembered now. He couldn’t play ranked today, he had to help the goddess play.
