Some words weren't said because they were trying to be brave. Many times, it was simply because the speaker didn't realize their true feelings. [Full text.]
For example, the reason Lin Feng was able to maintain his perfect form and performance during tonight's practice was because he'd gotten used to the rhythm of the game over the past two days.
All of his movements and hand speed could be done subconsciously.
His movements were still as smooth as ever.
He had also gotten used to all sorts of things related to his consciousness, so he wouldn't overlook anything.
It had nothing to do with whether he was worried about Steamed Bun or not.
In reality, when he said he didn't need to worry too much about An Xin's condition, it was just a subconscious habit.
In the past, when the two of them were childhood sweethearts, Lin Feng was always the one who needed to be worried. As for An Xin, Lin Feng never needed to worry about her.
It was as if An Xin had always been the one taking care of Lin Feng.
Neither of them felt like there was anything wrong with that.
If anything happened, the first person Lin Feng would think of was Steamed Bun.
She was the one Lin Feng trusted and felt at ease with, even more so than his teammates back in the day.
Over time, many things would gradually become a habit, quietly waiting for something to happen.
It seemed like when Lin Feng's spirit was high and his fighting spirit was high, he didn't need to think about what was behind him. However, behind him, there would always be a slender and beautiful woman quietly following him.
He didn't need to look back.
It was because he knew that the person behind him would always be standing behind him with a smile on her face.
"I don't need to worry about Steamed Bun."
"Because she's Steamed Bun."
Lin Feng's way of thinking was simple and pure.
But …
Perhaps this kind of thinking would never come true one day.
On the way home, Lin Feng sat at the table and ate his dinner. He kept thinking about one thing.
He remembered something flashing through his mind this evening, but he couldn't remember what it was.
It seemed to be a very distant memory.
It was vague and unreal.
Lin Feng put down his chopsticks. He furrowed his brows and tried to recall.
It seemed …
Something about Steamed Bun?
But he couldn't remember. Su Xue, who was sitting across from him, couldn't help but be surprised.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Are the dishes not to your liking?"
Lin Feng scratched his head and shook his head, "Oh no, I feel like I've forgotten something."
Su Xue came to a sudden realization and began to mercilessly complain.
"That's normal, isn't it? You always forget your keys every time you go out, so forgetting one or two things is nothing."
Lin Feng furrowed his brows and shook his head vigorously.
"Nope."
"This seems to be very important."
After finishing dinner absentmindedly, Su Xue began to wash the dishes while Lin Feng went straight to his bedroom.
Lin Feng threw himself onto the soft and comfortable bed and rolled back and forth a few times. Then he looked at the ceiling above his head in a daze. He then took out his phone and dialed a number.
Du du du du
The call went through, and Anxin's familiar and pleasant voice came from the other end of the line.
"Hello!"
Her voice was light and lively as usual, as if there wasn't the slightest hint of weakness or exhaustion brought about by the illness.
When Lin Feng heard this, he immediately felt a lot more at ease.
"Hey, it's me."
Anxin smiled. "I know it's you. It's not like I don't have your number. What's up?"
Lin Feng scratched his head with his other hand.
"Oh, it's nothing. You called in sick today and didn't come to class."
An Xin: "Oh, yeah, it's nothing. I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable. You know how my parents are, they're always so nervous when it's just a small illness. They even applied for leave for me. I could've gone to class this afternoon."
Her tone was light and cheerful, with a hint of grumbling.
Lin Feng nodded in understanding.
So that's how it is.
Given his understanding of Steamed Bun's parents, he knew they were the type to get worked up over minor matters.
So that's how it was.
"So you're really fine, Steamed Bun?"
Lin Feng was very happy. He felt much more relaxed than before.
Anxin smiled. "I'm fine. I even called in sick for two days. Who knows, I might be able to go tomorrow. At the very least, I'll be there for training tomorrow night. You guys only have four people today. How was practice?"
Lin Feng didn't even notice the change in topic as he excitedly told An Xin about tonight's practice.
Of course, Lin Feng also told An Xin about the elimination list for the East China region.
"So we're going up against Zhejiang University?"
Although An Xin's expression could not be seen over the phone, she seemed to be slightly raising her beautiful eyebrows as she made her comment.
"If that's the case, it's going to be a tough battle."
Lin Feng was brimming with confidence.
"Don't worry. Zhejiang University is nothing. We'll definitely win."
"I've been getting better and better lately."
On the other end of the phone, An Xin couldn't help but smirk. "That's right. Then we'll wait for you to show up. If God Chao isn't here, you'll have to treat us to a meal ~"
"No problem!" Lin Feng patted his chest confidently.
Then, Lin Feng told An Xin about his phone call with Senior No.1, as well as his quest to reach the top five of the Korean Champion's leaderboards. Lin Feng told her everything.
Other than his childhood sweetheart, Lin Feng really couldn't find anyone else to share his secrets with.
An Xin couldn't help but be a little surprised after listening to everything.
"Senior One wants you to reach the top five of the Korean Champion's leaderboard in a month?"
"Yeah." Lin Feng nodded matter-of-factly. "But I want to make it to the top three myself. First place is good enough."
An Xin pursed her lips. "You're so confident. Can you do it?"
Lin Feng's face was bursting with fighting spirit. "Of course. I have to complete the quest Senior gave me. Otherwise, I won't be able to live up to his expectations."
As he spoke, he thought of something else.
"Oh, right. Senior Five seems to miss you. She asked you to call her when you have time."
An Xin was pleasantly surprised.
"Xiao Wu?"
"I haven't talked to her in a long time. Okay, okay. Give me her number later. I want to have a good chat with her."
Since there was no need to worry about the girl's health, the two of them chatted happily for a while. For example, An Xin was still helping Lin Feng come up with a plan, thinking of a way to get into the top five of the Champion Group leaderboards as soon as possible.
"As for the Korean Champion's leaderboard, it's a good idea for you to solo the mid lane.
"Recently, it seems like it's more popular to use Little Fishmen, Enchantresses, and Cards in high-level games on the Korean server. It seems like there are more Ice Birds appearing as well. If you don't have a champion that you're good at, you might as well just kill them all ~"
"Oh, and which Korean pro players usually finish their practice after 9 or 10 p.m. to play random ranked games? You can also avoid that time. It'll be easier that way."
On the other end of the line, Ahn Shin seemed to be very knowledgeable about the Korean server's Champion Group. She spoke enthusiastically.
But suddenly, Lin Feng's voice rang out, interrupting the girl's process of imparting her insights.
"Steamed Bun."
The girl on the other end of the line paused for a moment.
"Yeah. What's wrong?"
Holding the microphone, Lin Feng's expression suddenly became serious.
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
It was a sentence that came out of nowhere.
But the girl on the other end suddenly fell silent.
The author has something to say.
I was on the island yesterday and didn't have time to write at all. I'm here to apologize.
I'll probably write a new chapter tonight. I'll go back to writing now.
I need to get over 200 likes. There seems to be another count. I'll have to wait until the 8th to pay off my debt.
