Those Sweet Times
Chapter 60 Part 2

Xiang Nuan leaned back in the chair and exhaled. She sent a message to Min Lili: We won, ha.

Min Lili replied in seconds: Really? I'll post the news, yay yay yay!

Xiang Nuan: Don’t you want to know how I did it?

Min Lili: Haha, girl, you think too much.

Xiang Nuan: =  =

Beating the PE Institute was just the beginning of the competition.

There were over 70 colleges registered to play in their province alone. They had to play 4 matches the first day to qualify for the quarter finals, then 3 matches in the second day to fight for first place.

The Times had an easier time in their matches later in the day.

They had been through a systematic and professional training regimen after all. They were much more organized and coordinated than the other loosely formed teams. Though they couldn’t play like professionals, it was enough for them to have a strong presence in this kind of competition.

Soon enough, the team entered the finals.

Lin Chuyan had gone home after they finished their matches for the day. Before they were done, Xiang Nuan’s parents had come home. Ren Danyan enthusiastically invited Lin Chuyan to stay for dinner. Xiang Nuan however felt that it would be dark by the time they finished dinner and Lin Chuyan probably would stay the night at her house again. She had insisted he leave right after the matches, because she wasn’t sure whether she would do anything to him if he stayed longer at her house.

For the finals the next day, all five of teammates were online on voice chat.

The team they were up against had an intimidating name-- --The Fangs.

During the first round, The Fangs chose Luna as one of their champions. Xiang Nuan didn’t think too much about it. She had encountered Luna before; she wasn’t a strong champion in the current meta and so wasn’t a big concern.

However, today’s Luna was strong.

Not just strong, she was formidable…….

This Luna wasn’t over-aggressive, but was still very stable and could make precise decisions about the overall situation on the battlefield. She appeared when she was supposed to and retreated when she was at a disadvantage. This one champion could single handedly harass the entire opposing team.

Some Luna players would start to show off their abilities and forget to work with their own teammates.

But this player was different, he was very reliable.

That was the most difficult part.

This kind of Luna gave off a feeling of familiarity to Xiang Nuan.

She typed in the public chat: Is that you?

After a whole minute, that player replied

A mouthful of fangs: En.

“Oblivion! He’s Oblivion!” Xiang Nuan excitedly said.

Waiwai asked: “Who’s Oblivion?”

“A very strong player who’s especially good with Luna. This round, this round we……” Xiang Nuan felt that they would lose this round but didn’t want to say it out loud to demoralize her own team. She only said: “Let’s play well.”

No matter how well her team played this round, they ended up losing.

For the pick and ban phase in the second round, Xiang Nuan said: “Listen to me, ban Luna, Miyamoto Musashi, and Li Bai; these are the three champions Oblivion’s the best at. He’s also good with Ah Ke, let’s pick Ah Ke before them. Zheng Dongkai, you shouldn’t have any problem playing Ah Ke, right?”

“Certainly not.”

Waiwai was somewhat doubtful: “Are you sure? Miyamoto Musashi? He’s a pretty weak champion, seems like a waste of a ban?”

Xiang Nuan hesitated after hearing Waiwai.

Yang Yin spoke: “Let’s do as Xiang Nuan says.”

If the player is good enough, any weak champion would be a formidable adversary in their hands. They should ban his favorite champions while they still could.

Starlight Has No Past
Chapter 47 Part 2

On her way home, Ye Qiao noticed that the snow on the ground had already melted. There were only occasional holdouts left on the bare tree stumps by the roadside.
Ye Qiao looked up to the sky and breathed in the chilly, deep winter air. The scarf on her neck was about to slip down her shoulder and she was too lazy to pull her hands out of her pockets so she stiffened her neck in the hopes that would hold the scarf in place.
Despite her efforts, the scarf fell down anyways. She had no choice but to pull her hands out-- --
A hand reached over from behind to scoop the scarf up for her, then tightly wrapped it around her neck. The sleeve of the black coat smelled of cedarwood. It was from the cologne that she had specifically picked for him.

Ye Qiao turned around and found Zhou Tingsheng right behind her. He had just finished shopping, the hand carrying the shopping bags had reddish knuckles from the cold air. He used his other hand to tie the scarf into a knot and smiled at her. It was a familiar smile, yet so awkward at the same time.

Zhou Tingsheng had noticed for several days that Ye Qiao would go out for almost the whole day and come back exhausted. He asked around and learned that she had started to go to the gym. Though she looked tired afterwards, she looked much healthier than before. Zhou Tingsheng gazed at her shocked expression as if they hadn’t seen each other for years, amused but also upset at the same time: “Do you have to be this surprised to see me? Where have you been for the past few days?”

Zhou Tingsheng sounded quite casual, but Ye Qiao felt that he was just putting on a facade. His warm smile and the act of pulling her hair to the back of her ear, everything felt like it was a false act.
It seemed to her that she had been put under a spell. Ever since she had gone to see Ruan Feiyan, she could no longer comfortably face Zhou Tingsheng. She forced sound from her throat: “The gym.”

Zhou Tingsheng walked side by side with her back to their building and pushed the elevator button for her. Both of them entered the elevator together. He asked: “How’s exercise going for you?”
“It’s alright.”
“Is the coach a man or a woman? Has he taken advantage of you?”
He knew very well that there must be some bodily contact when a coach tried to correct the student’s posture. He had turned his frustration from not seeing her the past few days into jealousy. He stared at her, waiting for her answer.

Ye Qiao replied with a stone face: “It’s a woman.”
Zhou Tingsheng held her waist, now sore from working out, and squeezed: “Really?”
It certainly wasn’t true. Ye Qiao hastily bent down trying to avoid his hands and couldn’t keep the lie going: “It’s a white lie which you don’t want to believe.”

When the elevator arrived at their floor, Zhou Tingsheng wouldn’t let her go back to her own apartment. He grabbed her arm and dragged her in the opposite direction. Ye Qiao called out: “What are you doing-- --”
Zhou Tingsheng didn’t bother to go into his apartment. He pushed Ye Qiao against the wall in the hallway. Putting his forehead against hers, he gave a deep sigh: “I miss you very much.”
Ye Qiao tried to move her lips but didn’t know what to say.

Zhou Tingsheng calmed himself: “I know you need time to digest everything, to give yourself time to think it over. But can you not avoid me like this?” Ye Qiao listened with a serious face. He continued: “It’s like a husband and wife in separation.”
Ye Qiao suddenly turned her face to the side and chuckled.

Starlight Has No Past
Chapter 47 Part 1

Qianxi stayed for the night. Zhou Tingsheng let her and Ye Qiao have the master bedroom and he moved into the guest room.
In the middle of the night, he got up and walked to the entrance with no reason. The colors on the painting <Secret of the Mortal World> was impossible to distinguish under the dim lights. For the first time, Zhou Tingsheng lit up the candle sticks in front of the picture of Jesus. In the yellow-orange glow of the candles, the picture frame looked like it had been ignited.

Qianxi came out of the bedroom yawning. She saw Zhou Tingsheng stood quietly at the entrance. She drowsily walked over to comfort him: “My cousin’s fever has come down. She just fell asleep. Tomorrow morning you’ll see a lively and cute cousin again! Don’t worry.”
Zhou Tingsheng thanked her with a shallow smile. He knew well that it’s probably harder to see a cheerful Ye Qiao after she woke up.

Qianxi licked her lips and suddenly became more serious: “Actually, it’s a good thing to have some conflict. A conflict means there’ll be a way to solve it. It’s not like for some people, where there’s no possibility to be together because of their family or social economic background.”
It was the first time that Zhou Tingsheng discovered that Ye Qiao’s carefree cousin was capable of saying such intelligent words. He smiled and asked her: “Are you tired? I’ll be cooking something for your cousin in a while, you can also have some.”
Qianxi touched her stomach in surprise and asked in doubt: “Can I really?” She couldn’t figure out how this man, who was not only handsome but cooked delicious food, had somehow annoyed her cousin.
The conflict they had this time, however, was quite different from the ones previously. Zhou Tingsheng seriously doubted the possibility of resolving the conflict this time.

Ye Qiao rested for two days after the fever died down. She and Zhou Tingsheng were very cordial towards each other, neither mentioning anything regarding the crux of their problems. Finally, on the third day, Ye Qiao brought it up at the dinner table: “Maybe it’s best for me to go back to my own apartment?”
Zhou Tingsheng was quiet for a while before he agreed.  He made a phone call to arrange for someone to come and fix the heater in her apartment.

They were sure of the feelings they had for each other, but they didn’t know how to face each other. Even laughing felt like a sin. To avoid staying at home all day and slide deeper into depression, Ye Qiao made an appointment with a private fitness coach that a good friend had recommended. Everyday, she would sweat until she was soaked. Her exhausted body and sore muscles made her more aware of her own physical existence. Her distressed mental state became less important.

The private coach, Coach Fang, had made a specific training schedule for Ye Qiao based on the history of her heart problems. But Ye Qiao would constantly overexert herself. Once she stepped onto the machine, she wouldn’t get off. Coach Fang was worried: “I’ve never seen a movie star workout as hard as you. Pei Xindan trained with me for a while before she had to film some kung fu movies, but she wouldn’t treat herself this harsh.”

Ye Qiao asked with shallow smile: “You worried that I’ll pass out here?”
To her surprise, Coach Fang shook his head: “It’s not that. I have a Russian friend who had a heart transplant just like you. He’s even more daring than you; he’s broken one of his legs and still does extreme sports. So there’s nothing to be afraid about. If you dare, a heart transplant patient can still go parachuting.”

Ye Qiao asked herself whether she had the courage to do that. Occupied by her own thoughts, she didn’t really catch the rest that the coach talked about. After he had finished, Ye Qiao collected her wandering mind and said: “Tomorrow and the day after I have an award ceremony to attend. I won’t be here for those two days.”
“How about the day after those two days?”
Ye Qiao was taken aback: “......The day after those two days, maybe.”

Coach Fang laughed out loud: “I knew you'd be like that. You’re probably doing this just on a whim. After you’ve released whatever it is that’s bothering you, you’d just give up.” He squeezed Ye Qiao’s wrist: “See, how thin this is. A dog’s claw is fatter than this. Exercise is good for your body as well as your mind.”

Ye Qiao felt like she had been lectured for no reason and the feeling on her wrist wasn’t very pleasant either. The coach’s palm was sweaty and rough.. Ye Qiao quietly pulled her arm back: “I’ll take care of myself more in the future. Thank you.”

Chapter 73 Part 1

[The rounded fat: Why did I have to see it?]

[The rounded fat: Why is it me again?]

[The rounded fat: I only get up early less than 5 days out of the 365 days in the year. Why do you have to choose those days to burn my eyes-- --...................................Wait a minute… maybe you’re just like this everyday……………………………………]

[The rounded fat: I’m going to call the police.]

The cell phone kept ringing in Tong Yao’s hand and she watched the string of messages grow further and further distorted. Finally, she couldn’t stand it anymore, threw the cell phone down, and pulled the hand on her head to the side-- --

In his dream, Lu Sicheng dreamt a sinister looking woman ghost was dragging him by the hand onto some railway tracks. Startled, he violently turned his hand and gripped the chilly ghost hand-- --At the same time, he woke up from his dream and opened his eyes wide. The first thing he saw was a big cat staring at him on the coffee table with its big bright eyes, then he noticed who the hand he had firmly grasped belonged to……

It was the hand of his team’s mid.

She was using one of her hands to support herself on the edge of the couch. Her body was tilting to one side and her hair was in a mess, as if she had just been mistreated somehow. Her wrist was firmly encompassed by his hand; her fair skin was turning red in the shape of fingers-- --

Tong Yao leaned forward, closing the distance between the two.

Lu Sicheng: “......”

Lu Sicheng: “Hey, whoa!”

There was a rare panicked expression on Lu Sicheng’s normally expressionless handsome face. In great alarm, he threw her wrist away and jumped up into the corner of the couch as if he was freaking out.

Tong Yao: “? ? ? ? ? ? “

Lu Sicheng: “What are you doing? What are doing getting this close when someone is sleeping?”

Tong Yao lifted her hand up to check the red marks on her wrist, then took a glance at her captain who was acting as if he had just been violated…… She suppressed the urge to give him a good slap on his face and pointed upstairs while speaking with a stone face: “This morning, I came down to check to see if my cat was still alive……”

Lu Sicheng’s dark brown pupils slightly tightened, but acted as if he didn’t trust her: “Why do you need to check to see whether your cat is alive or not? What kind of excuse is that? How can a healthy cat die suddenly?”

Tong Yao nodded and thought maybe she hadn’t explained herself clearly, so she added: “Oh. I came down this morning to check to see if my cat had been strangled to death and was about to be flushed down the toilet-- --”

Lu Sicheng: “......”

Tong Yao: “Then I found out that you had fallen asleep while still queue for a ranked game. Your stream was also on for several hours; the stream was full of questions marks and fans who were playing card games to pass the time. I turned it all off for you-- --Then based on my kindheartedness, I was afraid that you would catch a cold and found a blanket for you.”

Tong Yao pointed to the blanket on Lu Sicheng’s knees.

Tong Yao: “As I was putting the blanket on you, you pushed my face onto your tummy.”

Tong Yao pointed her own head: “And messed up my hair.”

Lu Sicheng: “How is that possible?”

Tong Yao: “You thought I was Dabing.”

Lu Sicheng: “......How could-- --”

Tong Yao: “Finally, the ending is that Little Fatty happened to see it.”

Tong Yao picked up Lu Sicheng’s cell phone and threw it at him-- --He caught it and checked his WeChat. His facial expression changed from being at a loss to surprise, before he calmed down again. Tong Yao looked at him with a serious look on her face. Lu Sicheng dialed a number on his phone. The phone rang a couple of times before the other side picked up. Lu Sicheng said: “Hello, Little Fatty? You’re mistaken, we didn’t do anything-- --Who would do that in the living room? You don’t have a brain, but I do.”

He hung up right afterwards.

Those Sweet Times
Chapter 60 Part 1

There’s a saying among the professional players of Kings of Glory: “Dark Slayer 5000 rule.” It means whoever defeats Dark Slayer would get ahead by 5000 gold. If the team with the advantage got Dark Slayer, they’d rocket up even higher. If the losing side stole Dark Slayer, then there was a good chance that they could catch up.

It was crucial for Xiang Nuan’s team that Lin Chuyan stole Dark Slayer. They bought a chance to take a breather and catch up in gold. Most importantly, after Dark Slayer’s vanguards had spawned, Mai Shirunui and Marco Polo finally bought some items and the time for their comeback had arrived!

But in terms of turrets, The Times was still at an absolute disadvantage, but the scales were finally tilting toward their side as the match dragged on.

In the late game, the difference in turrets were less important because each champion could deal a greater amount of damage now and it took little time for them to destroy a turret. Victory could be decided from one teamfight.

The enemy Zhuge Liang was growing sluggish. It was the characteristic of the champion; every champion was strong during a period of the game, once that period passed, they would be weaker.

Yang Yin believed that Xiang Nuan’s team, assuming they were equal in skill, would have greater than 70% chance to win team fights if the team could last till the late game and didn’t fall too far behind economically. From what she’d seen so far, it seemed to her that The Times had more skill than their opponent. So it wasn’t a big surprise for her to see the team make their comeback at the end. Though their opponents seemed to be shocked by what was happening.

The Times team won the first round.

Xiang Nuan went to the bathroom. When she came back, she saw Lin Chuyan had already made two cups of citron tea.

He really was acting like he was at his own house……

Xiang Nuan took the cup and found the tea to be at the right temperature, neither too hot nor too cold.

“It’s ready to drink now.” Lin Chuyan said.

Xiang Nuan took a sip. It was sweet and warm, with a faint citron fragrance. It was rather soothing as the liquid slid down into her stomach.

She used both of her hands to hold the cup and sneaked a glance at him.

Lin Chuyan still had his earphones on and was looking down at his cell phone. A ray of sunshine slipped through the gap between the curtain panels and shone through the hair on his forehead, landing on his face.

His eyes cast downwards and his face looked quite tranquil.

Xiang Nuan felt like she was looking at a painting.

Lin Chuyan sensed Xiang Nuan’s gaze and suddenly looked up at her.

Xiang Nuan hurriedly moved her eyes away. As a cover up, she started to gulp the tea down……

Lin Chuyan twitched the corners of his lips.

Though it was a shame that his affection for Xiang Nuan was still a one way street, there were times that he felt that just being next to her was enough.

……

In the second round of the match, both sides had decided to either ban or pick the other side’s champions that had performed well in the first round. Lin Chuyan didn’t get Mai Shiranui again and ended up with Diaochan.

The opposing team picked Xiang Nuan’s Laofuzi before she could. She ended up with Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was a strong champion; he could protect and support teammates and was very useful in team fights. A good Guan Yu was extremely powerful, but required a high skill level to play well.

This match, Xiang Nuan’s performance with Guan Yu was average. Nevertheless, her team had a much easier time than the last round. It seemed that the opponent had an even smaller champion pool than them. After Zhuge Liang and Dharma were banned, they lost the momentum they had shown in the first round. They were sluggish from the start. The Times had the upper hand from the start of the game. In the end, the PE Institute wasn’t able to make a comeback.

Xiang Nuan’s team won again.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 72 Part 2

Before Tong Yao went to bed that night, she raised her voice so that Lu Sicheng could hear her even with his earphones on, to announce to all her teammates that Dabing was locked inside the cage of no freedom and would be denied canned food until it recognized its own mistakes-- -- When she passed by the cage, Dabing pressed its face onto the side of the cage and kept meowing. Tong Yao gritted her teeth and heartlessly walked by and thought to herself: If she was partial to the cat, then Dabing wouldn’t be the only one who wouldn’t see the sun rise tomorrow.

Tong Yao went upstairs and showered. Afterwards, she saw Jinyang’s WeChat message-- --

[Ah Mao’s mom: ………………………………Dabing’s in big trouble?]

[Ah Mao’s mom: Your captain’s searching online for piranha fry…...It’s so hilarious that I dropped my cell phone on my face.]

Tong Yao: “......”

… …

Tong Yao had a sleepless night.

First, she had to get used to sleeping by herself, without a cat next to her. Then she had to worry about what would happen when her cat and her captain were left alone together downstairs-- --

She had nightmares the whole night and got up very early the next morning.

She went downstairs and discovered that Dabing’s cage was empty, the cat wasn’t in there. Tong Yao’s heart skipped a beat; she was afraid that she would find the body of a cat flushed halfway down the toilet-- --She anxiously searched around the base and eventually found her cat on the couch in the living room. The cat was perfectly intact and quietly crouched down on a man’s body, bearing its teeth at her, the person who had locked it inside the cage……

The reason why the cat had the courage to be so haughty probably had something to do with the person under its feet-- --Under the cat’s fuzzy bottom, ZGDX’s captain was lying face up on the couch with closed eyes with faint bluish bags. His tummy rose up and down in regular intervals.

He was sound asleep.

He didn’t even realize that a cat weighing over a dozen kilograms was sitting on top of his stomach, using it as a floor mat.

Tong Yao turned to check his computer, which was still logged waiting for a ranked game…...But his id had already been kicked out of the queue probably because he had failed to respond when a match was found earlier.

He probably had played ranked games the whole night. When he finally had enough of them, it was probably already daybreak and he was too tired to go upstairs to sleep.

…...Such an internet addicted man.

Tong Yao lightly walked to Lu Sicheng’s computer to log off the game and turned off his computer for him. She turned to pick up a small blanket from another couch and waved her hand to get Dabing off Lu Sicheng. The cat jumped off his stomach. As Tong Yao bent over to put the blanket over his body-- --

A big hand reached over to cup her head from the back of her head and pushed her head down. Tong Yao was taken by surprise as her entire face was pushed against Lu Sicheng’s tight abdomen. Right at that moment, she heard the man said in a dazed voice: “Be still or get lost if you keep moving around.”

Then he stroked Tong Yao’s hair as if he was stroking the cat.

Tong Yao’s whole body stiffened up. Both of her hands gripped the edge of the couch as her face was buried in the man’s stomach with only a thin blanket and his clothing separating her and him. When she breathed, her nose with filled with his scent.

-- --If someone came over now, I probably can’t……

Before Tong Yao could finish her thought, she heard the sound of a door opening upstairs. Little Fatty, with sleepy eyes, came out wearing a white tank top and his big Ultraman underpants: “Cheng Ge, shit, you haven’t gone to sleep yet, I already woke up-- --”

Little Fatty’s voice abruptly stopped.

Tong Yao didn’t even have a chance to raise her head to explain to Little Fatty since the big hand on the back of her head was still exerting a steady amount of pressure-- --The next second, Little Fatty mumbled: “I’m not up yet, I’m sleep walking.” Then he turned and returned to his room.

A few seconds later, Lu Sicheng’s cell phone rang.

Tong Yao struggled to reach over for his cell phone on the couch and picked it up to take a look-- --

[The rounded fat: I didn’t expect that you’re this kind of captain. I was too naive.]

Those Sweet Times
Chapter 59 Part 4

A few minutes after the match began, Xiang Nuan found Yang Yin’s early game prediction to be entirely accurate.

Their opponent started with a fierce attack. They first came into Xiang Nuan’s jungle and stole their blue buff, giving them an early advantage. Then the jungler worked with Zhuge Liang to slay Mai Shiranui and follow up by taking the first dragon. Every enemy hero was now level 4, pulling ahead of Xiang Nuan’s team in terms of level and economy. With the advantages they had, they pushed for a team fight and killed Marco Polo. At this point, Xiang Nuan’s team was far behind.

The opponent’s champions were strong in the early game to begin with. Now they were even stronger and in a great position.

Gradually, The Times team lost control of all three lanes.

Xiang Nuan’s champion, Laofuzi, was very capable of fighting by himself. She stayed away from the enemy and had brought down two enemy turrets, but by now all 9 of her team’s turrets had fallen.

The Times team now only had their unprotected nexus left and with underdeveloped champions!

Xiang Nuan was taken by surprise and couldn’t figure out how they were in such dire straits. Her teammates were always getting caught, they always lost their team fights, their tank was weak, their mage and archer couldn’t deal any damage to the enemy, and all of their champions seemed to be made out of paper mache……

Xiang Nuan was getting on edge. In one of the team fights, her team’s mage and archer had already died by the time she arrived. Normally, it would’ve been smarter for her to retreat and avoid the battle. But she rushed into the battle from behind the enemy, trying to trap Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang swiftly dodged the attack and she was quickly trapped and killed.

She was growing very upset: What do we do now, how can I play this bad……

In her earphones, she heard a gentle and calm voice: “We can win.”

Xiang Nuan looked up at Lin Chuyan, sitting right across from her.

Lin Chuyan continued to look down at his screen: “Hang in there, we can win.”

Xiang Nuan pulled herself together and checked the situation…...It didn’t feel like they could hang in there.

Yang Yin told them to hang on into the late game to have a winning chance. But it was under the presumption that-- --the opponent would allow her team to drag the game out that long.

When Xiang Nuan checked the status of her team, they had lost control of all three lanes and were far behind in gold. The enemy would have the ability to push their nexus when the next wave of minions came. Would they give them a chance to keep the game going?

Following the last team fight, there was still three enemy champions alive but there were four The Times players waiting at their fountain.

Then the fifth member joined; Zheng Dongkai’s champion also died because he was poorly equipped.

“The minions aren’t here yet” Lin Chuyan’s voice was as calm as ever: “They’ll go for the Dark Slayer.”

It would be the worst situation that could happen to The Times at this point. If the PE Institute team could kill Dark Slayer, they could get three waves of Dark Slayer vanguards to spawn down each lane. Xiang Nuan felt it would be impossible for her team to stop them then.

They desperately needed more time.

Lin Chuyan was the first one to spawn again. He moved his champion, Mai Shiranui, directly towards Dark Slayer. He took a look at his teammates’ respawn countdown timers. The next one would be Shen Zemu’s Marco Polo.

“Big Polo keep the base safe.” Lin Chuyan said.

“Don’t call me Big Polo.” Shen Zemu objected.

“Little Polo keep the base safe.”

Shen Zemu: “......” Somehow, Big Polo sounded much better.

Xiang Nuan was nervous and upset but broke into laughter. “Lin Chuyan, you’re a nutcase.”

Lin Chuyan chuckled but didn’t say anything.

Xiang Nuan knew what Lin Chuyan had in mind-- --He was going to grab Dark Slayer on his own. If he could do that, he could buy everyone on his team time. If he failed, then Mai Shiranui would probably die and the rest of the team would soon follow!

Mai Shiranui stopped in the lane for a while before he got closer to Dark Slayer. Xiang Nuan could see three enemies fighting against Dark Slayer.  Dark Slayer had only a small chunk of health left. Mai Shiranui threw his fan.

A notification appeared: Mai Shiranui has defeated Dark Slayer.

Ahhhh! He stole it!

Xiang Nuan was so excited that she started jumping and felt a rush of adrenaline.

At that very moment, she fell like pulling Lin Chuyan over and giving him a kiss.
