Those Sweet Times - Chapter 49 Part 1

Those Sweet Times
Chapter 49 Part 1

The corners of Lin Chuyan’s mouth were curved upwards the entire day after he received Xiang Nuan’s gift.

When his dad, Lin Xueyuan, came home for dinner, he thought his son looked like some lunatic who had just been released from the asylum.  He pointed at his son with his lips and asked his wife, Yue Yingying, in a whisper: “What’s wrong with him?”

Yue Yingying was a petite, good natured woman and carried her age very well, hardly looking like someone over 40 years old. She smiled and quietly asked her husband: “Do you think, maybe Chuyan is actually in love?”

“We’ll know for sure just by asking him.” Lin Xueyuan raised his voice: “Hey, son.”

“En?”

“Do you have a girlfriend now?”

Lin Chuyan’s good mood disappeared from his father’s direct question. He looked down and said: “No.”

……

After dinner, Lin Chuyan went back to his own room and went online to play with Xiang Nuan.

Xiang Nuan sent him a screenshot of the news about Kings of Glory’s Winter Collegiate Competition.

The Winter Collegiate Competition was held during winter vacation and any college student could register to compete. They had to register as a team and all five players on the team had to be enrolled in the same college.

“Shall we give it a try?” Xiang Nuan asked: “The provincial champion has a 10,000 RMB award, regional champion is 20,000, and the national is 50,000. Put them together, that’s 80,000! Lin Chuyan, we’ll be rich!”

Lin Chuyan smiled to himself. Though he knew she didn’t have any intention to imply anything when she said ‘we,’ it sounded especially appealing to his ears. He said: “Yeah, sure. We don’t have anything better to do anyway.”

That night, Lin Chuyan contacted the other members of their old Times team. Zheng Dongkai was very happy to join in once he found out there was a money prize. However, Lin Chuyan had trouble recruiting the other two members. Maomaoqiu was out of the country visiting relatives; in addition to the time difference, the internet there was too slow for him to play. Dayu’s family owned a restaurant and he had to help out since the New Year’s holiday was usually the busiest time.

The next day, Lin Chuyan told Xiang Nuan about being unable to form a team.

Xiang Nuan thought about it and said: “Let me ask some other people.”

Lin Chuyan knew who she was referring to. He didn’t want to have Shen Zemu join them, but on the other hand, he also wished that he could.

It’s all because Lin Chuyan wished Xiang Nuan won the competition.

Lin Chuyan was torn between the two opposing feelings for the whole day until that night when he received the ‘good news’ from Xiang Nuan: Both Shen Zemu and Waiwai had agreed to join them. They had the five players they needed to register for the competition.

“We are going to form a super strong team.” Xiang Nuan said excitedly.

Xiang Nuan wasn’t exaggerating, their team would be the strongest team in Nanshan University at least based on the fact that they were composed of the first and second best teams from the campus competition.

Before the New Year, it was the qualifying match within each college-- --All the teams from the same school would play single-game elimination matches to decide the final winner. Then the winner of each school would compete after the New Year for the provincial game. The winners of the provincial games could go on to the regional and from there, the national games.
