Those Sweet Times

Chapter 34 Part 4

Xiang Nuan’s Da Qiao died once again. She took a break and drank some water.
Then she glanced at the bullet comments on Chen Yinghu’s laptop.

She noticed that the chat was suddenly exploding. She didn’t understand what all
the excitement was about. It couldn’t be because Da Qiao just died in a pretty pose?

Xiang Nuan moved closer to the screen out of curiosity and saw most of the
comments were:

-----Damn, who was that? Who’s by my hubby’s side? Am I imagining the voice?

-----I also heard it! My goodness, that voice sounds too good! Little brother, say
some more!

-----Who was that?

-----Though only a few words, I smell a loving seme.

-----So my Hu Ge is getting married finally? Ahhh, you can’t just go off and marry
someone, I’ll go with you!

-----Anyone wants to listen to Little brother’s voice again type 1

-----11111

-----11111111111

-----111

…….

-----Don’t scare the little brother. Don’t worry, we’re nice people, please say
something more.

-----Nice people 1. Little brother, do you like men or women?

-----Why did you stop talking? Hu Ge, who is he anyway?

-----I just got here. May I ask what’s going on here?

……

“Pu------Hahahahaha!” Xiang Nuan found the entire thing rather amusing.

Then the comments exploded again:

-----Ahhhh, there’s a girl there!

-----Why is there a girl there? Hu Ge, I’ve misjudged you, I’m very disappointed
at you!

-----Is this Hu Ge’s wife, is it?

-----Hu Ge is indeed popular with both men and women. Little sister’s laugh
sounded so nice, I laughed along with her.

-----It’s probably from a voice changer?

-----Nonsense, it can’t be from a voice changer. That laugh wasn’t artificial at all, it
can’t be from a voice changer.

-----Little sister, I beg you to laugh again.

……

Xiang Nuna’s Da Qiao was revived, she hurriedly returned to the game. The excitement
continued in the stream room.

The excitement in chat finally died down after the trio continued quietly playing. Then
Lin Chuyan suddenly spoke again.

It was because he and Chen Yinghu were fighting over blue buff.

“I want blue, I’m Li Bai.”

“I want blue, I need to carry.”

“Look closely, I’m the carry right now.”

“Don’t look at the stats. Wait till you see the damage. If my damage is lower than 35%,
I’ll call you papa.”

“He, I have a feeling that I’m going to have a son.”

The chat room became flurry of activity.

The three of them were so concentrated on the game that they paid no attention to the
bullet comments. Lin Chuyan was busying fighting over the blue buff with Chen Yinghu
when Xiang Nuna casted her ultimate.

Da Qiao’s ultimate was nicknamed “I’ll let my brothers take care of you.” She drew a big
circle on the ground and her teammates could teleport to her circle.

It was good tool for gathering teammates for a team fight.

Certainly, if one couldn’t use it well, it could also be a tool to eliminate the whole team.

Those Sweet Times

Chapter 34 Part 3

After they formed a team, Chen Yinghu asked Xiang Nuan: “Which
champion do you want to play?”

“I can choose any one?”

When it was something related to games, Chen Yinghu became very
confident: “Any one will do. I’ll carry you even if your champion just
lies there.”

Xiang Nuan felt Hu Ge was shining at that moment.

Xiang Nuan chose the most pretty support------Da Qiao

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were sisters. Xiao Qiao was known for her intelligence
while Da Qiao had good looks and a pair of beautiful long legs.

Xiang Nuan liked to play Da Qiao because she was pretty but didn’t know
how to play her well. She had used Da Qiao once before while playing a
ranked game with Lin Chuyan, Zheng Dongkai and the others. All her
teammates begged her not to try a second time.

Chen Yinghu usually did play solo. He would let the game match other
teammates with him and it was always a matter of luck on getting compatible
teammates.

It was rumored that the server would calculate the win rates of each player
and arranged a balanced team. If one of the players always won, he would
easily be matched with players with no skill to balance it out.

Some people would even lose purposefully in normal matches in order to
get a higher win rate in ranked. If a person lost a lot in their unranked
matches, his rating would drop and it would be easier to find a team with
very skilled players.

Chen Yinghu had met numerous bad players in solo queue. He had
developed an excellent way to cope with it.

And that was------to ignore them.

He wouldn’t count on those teammates or ask them to do anything. He
would also avoid getting into a shouting match with these players. Compared
to their feeble skills, they had even more fragile hearts.

These kind of players would fearlessly badmouth other players. But if Chen
Yinghu replied, that player might just go AFK, or deliberately get themselves
killed and give the enemy more gold.  In that case, it would be hard even for
Chen Yinghu to win.

Hu Ge had seen all sorts of bad players, including his girlfriend.

Therefore when Xiang Nuan told him that she couldn’t play Da Qiao well,
Chen Yinghu was quite calm about it.

Lin Chuyan chose Li Bai. Chen Yinghu glanced at his screen and noticed a
lot of his fans had logged on. Many of them wrote: “Choose Gao Jianli,” so
he chose Gao Jianli as his champion.

Chen Yinghu was most famous for playing Li Bai, but it didn’t mean that he
couldn’t play other champions well. Actually, he could play most of the existing
champions in Kings of Glory with an above average skill level.

“I’m turning on the mic.” Chen Yinghu warned, telling Lin Chuyan and Xiang
Nuan that if they spoke, their voices could be heard on his stream.

Xiang Nuan was a little nervous and kept her mouth shut.

Lin Chuyan looked down at his own screen and only answered: “En.”

After the game started, Chen Yinghu seemed to shift gears.

He became the chatterbox once he had fully immersed himself in the game.

“Come, come, come after me, if you can catch up to me, I”ll sing a song for
you, hehehehe……”

------Singing was Gao Jianli’s ultimate, with frightening killing power.

“You want to kiss me? Rotten punk, am I someone you can kiss!”

------He was talking about Yuji’s ultimate.

“Big brother, big brother, it’s a misunderstanding. I’m wrong…...papa save
me, help……”

Chen Yinghu was being wailed on by several enemy champions. Fortunately,
Lin Chuyan’s Li Bai came over in time to save him and Xiang Nuan’s Da Qiao
drew a big circle on the ground to send him back to base.

“Ah, it splashed all over my face.”

------The enemy’s Angela’s ultimate had touched him.

Lin Chuyan endured Chen Yinghu’s trash talking until he heard this one. He
couldn’t stop himself from saying: “Don’t say that.” There was a girl present here.

Chen Yinghu immediately realized what he had just said, blushed, and giggled
embarrassingly.

Xiang Nuan didn’t bother to understand what Chen Yinghu had just said, so she
wasn’t embarrassed but it felt------it was so noisy!

When she watched Hu Ge stream, she felt his trash talking was very cute. But
as a teammate, playing right next to him, the continuous chatter filled her
earphones as if her ears were constantly being pulled on. She couldn’t put all
her attention on the game itself.

Xiang Nuan suddenly understood how Lin Chuyan felt when she spoke during
their games.

Those Sweet Times

Chapter 34 Part 2

The four friends continued to stroll down Old Phoenix Street. In short time,
Shen Zemu had to leave early after receiving a phone call.

Though Shen Zemu was only a junior, he was doing so well in his studies
that he was guaranteed to go to the graduate school. One of the professors
in the Master’s program had already asked him to do research with him.

That professor had called Shen Zemu, asking to meet him.

Before leaving, Shen Zemu felt that he should have a talk with his cousin.
He asked: “How are you getting along with your girlfriend lately?”

Chen Yinghu was surprised by the question and couldn’t figure out where
it was coming from. “Do you know something that I don’t?”

“No.” Shen Zemu didn’t get sidetracked: “I hope you two are happily together.”

“Oh, then you can rest easy. We get along very well.”

“En. Then, if any man confesses to you, don’t take it seriously.”

“Haha, that’s for sure. There are a lot of men who call me hubby during my
streams, but they are just joking.”

Actually, some would flirt quite a lot  and most of the time it was the male fans
doing it. The fangirls were usually too shy to be so explicit. Chen Yinghu had
seen so many of these comments that now he usually just laughed it off.

Shen Zemu had delivered his message and left it at that.

------

Lin Chuyan bought 3 hats. The one with the shape of a lamb was for himself,
the one like a tiger for Chen Yinghu, and the rabbit one for Xiang Nuan.

Lin Chuyan took the lamb one because Xiang Nuan chose it for him.

Those three hats attracted a lot of attention on the street.

Xiang Nuan had cleared out all the misunderstandings she had about Lin Chuyan
and was in a good mood. When she was in a good mood, her appetite was in
just as good of a mood. She strolled along the street, eating food as they walked.
Chen Yinghu joined in, tasting the food here and there.

Lin Chuyan bought some antacid tablets for them.

They took a taxi to take Chen Yinghu back to his hotel since he had bought too
many things. When they arrived at the hotel, before Chen Yinghu got off the taxi,
he asked: “Do you want to come up to my room? I’m going to do a stream soon.”

Xiang Nuan was excited: “Can we?”

“Sure, we can do triple queue.”

“Yeah, sure, sure!”

Xiang Nuan knew very well it was because Lin Chuyan was there that she would
have a chance to stream with Hu Ge. If Lin Chuyan wasn’t here, Hu Ge wouldn’t
invite her.

In actuality, Chen Yinghu wasn’t purposely treating Xiang Nuan differently. He was
naturally nervous when facing strangers, especially girls he didn’t know. It was just
how he was. He wasn’t nervous when he met Lin Chuyan and hit it off right away
with him. It was just another undeniable fact.

Chen Yinghu was doing quite well at Peas TV, earning quite a sum of money with
his popularity. Though his parents didn’t think too much about it, he could
nonetheless afford to pamper himself.

As such, he had booked a luxurious suite in the hotel, the kind with a living room.

Xiang Nuan sat on the plush couch in the living room and suddenly felt a little
uneasy.

“Are you nervous?” Xiang Nuan asked Lin Chuyan.

He asked back: “Why should I be nervous?”

Well, he and Hu Ge were good friends, while she was only Hu Ge’s fan and
moderator. They were not on an equal footing.

Xiang Nuan asked again: “At the beginning, were you approaching Hu Ge just
to show off in front of me?”

“Your reflex arc can go around the earth three times then tie a bow.”

“You’re so mean mouthed that you can poison everyone in the city, even the pets.”

As they were bickering, Chen Yinghu had gotten everything setup and brought his
computer into the living room: “I’m ready.”

Xiang Nuan sat close to Hu Ge because she wanted to be able to see the bullet
comments.

Lin Chuyan sat at the other side of Chen Yinghu.

Those Sweet Times

Chapter 34 Part 1

Xiang Nuan stopped and slowly turned to look at Lin Chuyan.

It was snowing. She watched his handsome face, now only an arm’s length
away, through the floating snowflakes.

Lin Chuyan blinked, looking back at her with calm, gently eyes.

Xiang Nuan was confused. She lightly wiggled her arm out of his grip and
squinted.

“Lin Chuyan.” She called his name as the corner of her lips curled up: “You
aren’t having a crush on me, are you?” She asked hesitantly since she wasn’t
sure herself.

But it was obviously a question, despite the lack of conviction.

Lin Chuyan was stunned: “Ah?”

“I’m warning you, don’t have a crush on me. If you do, I’ll------” Xiang Nuan
was amused by the possibility: “I’ll laugh at you.”

Lin Chuyan chuckled: “You’re flattering yourself.”

Xiang Nuan also believed that she had put too much thought into it. But for
just a moment, she felt like something wasn’t right. But to think back on what
Lin Chuyan had said, there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with it? She was
the one who brought up slaves in the first place……

Xiang Nuan was a little embarrassed for flattering herself. She paid no attention
to Lin Chuyan as she turned around to walk back.

Lin Chuyan followed closely behind seemingly unable to put the topic to rest. He
kept laughing at her: “Why exactly makes you think I’m having a crush on you?”

“I have too many suitors so I’m overly sensitive, alright?” Xiang Nuan didn’t want
to continue with the topic. “Hurry, Hu Ge has been waiting for a while now.”

“Then.” Lin Chuyan changed the topic: “Why were you so angry before?”

To Lin Chuyan, the whole incident was more about making fun of Xiang Nuan
than Chen Yinghu. But Xiang Nuan didn’t get angry for herself but was outraged
on Chen Yinghu’s behalf.

She scolded him for Chen Yinghu and even wronged him.

“So you really care a lot about Hu Ge?” Lin Chuyan said: “But he already has a
girlfriend.”

“Hey, what are you thinking about!” Xiang Nuan couldn’t stop herself from rolling
her eyes.

Ever since she learned how to roll her eyes, it seemed that the times she did it to
Lin Chuyan had rapidly increased.

“Then, why were you angry? Tell me the truth.” Lin Chuyan pushed for an answer.

Xiang Nuan lowered her head to think, her steps slowed down. She had both hands
in her pockets and kicked the uneven brick pavement under the snow with the tips
of her boots.

Lin Chuyan’s focus was entirely on her. He watched snowflakes fall onto her black
hair and thought to himself that he should buy a hat for her later.

After a while, Xiang Nuan said: “Lin Chuyan, actually, I greatly fear that you’re the
kind of person who has fun with people’s emotions and treats genuine friendship
as a joke. I…...” As she was talking, she turned to look at him.

Lin Chuyan found her eyes were slightly red.

It was not because of other people, it was because of him.

“I really afraid that I’ll be disappointed at you.” She said.

A warm feeling filled Lin Chuyan. He hurriedly said: “Don’t worry.”

“En.” Xiang Nuan nodded and continued to go forward.

They didn’t exchange any more words. She walked in the front and he followed.
They walked out of the narrow alley and came back onto noisy Old Phoenix Street.

Xiang Nuan noticed that Chen Yinghu had bought an oiled paper umbrella wrapped
in a layer of plastic.

Why did an umbrella need to be protected from water?

Chen Yinghu explained with a blush: “It’s a gift.”

Xiang Nuan saw the pink colored flowers on the umbrella and instantly understood
who it was for.
