Even though Lin Feng said he'd send her home first, they were actually going the same way.
It was already quite late by the time the training ended. Thankfully, there was still the last train. Lin Feng and Tang Bingyao made it in time to catch up.
On the last train in Shanghai, one could always see the shadows of the bustling city.
There was a white-collar worker who had just finished working overtime. He was wearing a slightly wrinkled suit and a pair of leather shoes, leaning against his seat and resting with his eyes closed. Perhaps he couldn't wait to return to his cheap rented but warm home.
There were also high school students who had just finished their remedial classes and were yawning, but they still managed to pull themselves together and chat with their classmates.
"Hey, wanna go to the internet cafe this weekend?"
"S6's about to start!"
The other high school student had probably not recovered from the heavy homework at night. He could not help but widen his eyes when he heard this.
"Huh?"
"It's starting this weekend?"
"That's fast!"
The high school student exclaimed in disbelief and excitement.
Lin Feng and Tang Bingyao looked at each other and smiled. High school students these days were just like them. They were all addicted to League of Legends. Speaking of the S Series World Championships, it was naturally the most important event for most League of Legends players.
After all, it was an annual gathering of the strong. No matter how heavy their homework was, they still had to find time to watch the live stream and cheer on their home team.
But …
"It's really fast."
Tang Bingyao said in a sincere tone.
Lin Feng nodded and smiled.
"Yeah."
"It feels like S5 only happened yesterday," Tang Bingyao said.
Tang Bingyao couldn't help but nod in agreement. Last year at this time … it was still the Sixteen School League, and the S5 World Championship started at the same time.
At that time, they were still members of their high school's eSports club. The team they had formed was still too immature, and almost every match was a bitter struggle. Even when they encountered huge setbacks in the middle of the match, Lin Feng seemed to be on the verge of going berserk. It was especially worrying. To make matters worse, several teams from the LPL region were also having trouble in the S5 finals.
Back then, everything was so bad that it felt like it could explode at any moment.
Fortunately, he had Steamed Bun —
Such a thought subconsciously flashed through Tang Bingyao's mind, but the expression on her face could not help but change slightly. Almost uncontrollably, she raised her head and carefully looked at the person's face, worried about something. However, after confirming that the person did not seem to think of certain things or certain people, the girl quietly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
However …
Back then.
It really was because of Steamed Bun's arrival that everything became better.
Tang Bingyao couldn't help but mutter in her heart.
Then, the girl bit her lip lightly.
…
The train arrived at the station.
From the exit to Tang Bingyao's neighborhood, it would take them more than ten minutes to get there. The two of them had walked this road countless times in the past. They could almost close their eyes and recite the time when the traffic lights changed, what plants were planted on both sides of the street, and what kind of stalls and shops there were.
"Hungry?"
Lin Feng raised his head and saw a wonton shop not far from him. The fragrance of the wonton was accompanied by the steam from the cauldron. Lin Feng turned to Tang Bingyao and asked, "Do you want some supper?"
The girl thought for a moment and quickly nodded.
"Mhm."
Actually, it wasn't that she really wanted supper.
It was just that if she could spend more time with the person she liked, it would always make her happy.
Inside the shop, the owner brought out two steaming bowls of fresh meat wonton. The simple broth had a bit of oil floating on it, and it was sprinkled with chopped onions. A spoonful of soy sauce and bright red chili sauce was enough to whet one's appetite.
Tang Bingyao happily held the bowl. She had just scooped up a wonton and put it into her mouth when she couldn't help but open her mouth to blow air out of it. The person sitting across from her couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, eat slowly. It's not like you're in a hurry!"
Seeing the pitiful look on the girl's face, the person finally remembered to ask the owner for two more bottles of soda. He opened the lid of one and stuck a straw in it before handing it to the girl. "Drink some. It'll cool your tongue."
Tang Bingyao couldn't help but blush. She quietly said, "Thank you." Then she bit the straw and took small sips of the ice-cold soda, her heart filled with an indescribable joy.
After a while, the wonton finally cooled down a bit.
But this time, the girl had learned her lesson. She didn't forget to carefully blow on the wonton in her spoon before putting it into her mouth. Her face immediately lit up with satisfaction, and her eyes couldn't help but narrow into crescent moons. It was an indescribable adorable sight.
Delicious ~
She didn't feel hungry at first, but eating a bowl of wonton on such a cold night in Shanghai still couldn't help but whet her appetite. The more she ate, the more delicious it became.
Tang Bingyao immersed herself in eating a dozen wontons in her bowl. After a long time, she suddenly felt that there was no movement from the person sitting across from her. She couldn't help but raise her head to look at the person sitting in front of her.
"Lin Feng, aren't you going to eat?"
At that moment, Lin Feng was sitting in front of the table with his chin propped up in one hand, staring blankly at the bowl of wonton in front of him. He hadn't even touched the wonton in his bowl. His absent-minded appearance was completely different from the person who usually ate supper.
It wasn't until the girl called out to him that he snapped out of his daze. He looked at the almost untouched bowl, then back at Tang Bingyao and shook his head.
"Oh, it's nothing."
"I'm not particularly hungry."
If these words were heard by Ouyang, Yang Fan, Ren Rou, and the other friends who had hung out with him since high school, they would definitely be so shocked that their eyeballs would pop out.
What?
Not particularly hungry?
How could he say such a thing in front of a bowl of fragrant and piping hot wonton? Was this really the Lin Feng they knew?
A certain guy that they were familiar with … was a super glutton that would devour anything that was edible in front of him in the blink of an eye, like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds in its wake!
"Even if the sky falls down, it won't stop this guy from eating."
Back then, Ouyang Fan had made a solemn vow.
So at this moment, Tang Bingyao was also stunned. She couldn't help but look at Lin Feng with worry in her eyes. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't know what to say. She could only say "Oh" in a small voice and continue to eat the wonton in her bowl.
The atmosphere was a little quiet.
Suddenly, a voice rang out across from Tang Bingyao.
"Tang Tang."
Tang Bingyao subconsciously looked up. "Hm?"
Separated by the white steam, Tang Bingyao couldn't see the expression on the face of the person sitting across from her, but his next words were already drifting over.
"Have you been in contact with Steamed Bun for the past six months?"
Smack.
The spoon in Tang Bingyao's hand suddenly trembled and hit the side of the bowl with a crisp sound.
