It was a moonless night. The night sky of Shanghai was dotted with twos and threes of twos and threes of stars, flickering between brightness and darkness.
Looking down from above, one could still see the brightly lit night view of the entire city.
It was the hustle and bustle of an international metropolis at night.
However, in some residential areas, the dim yellow street lights illuminated the pedestrian paths, making it seem rather quiet.
Even though every house in a residential building was also lit, it created a warm and peaceful atmosphere that was completely different from the hustle and bustle of the city at night.
This was good.
Even in the cold steel city of reinforced concrete, such warmth could still be found.
It was enough to make one's heart feel warm.
However, the night breeze was still chilly.
With the chill of early winter, the wind blew past the trembling treetops, and the sudden serious question on the phone seemed to have tainted the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere of the conversation with a layer of coldness.
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
An Lin's serious tone and mindless question were like a stick that pierced through the relaxed atmosphere. It was as if he was trying to expose the truth.
On the other end of the phone, An Xin seemed to be slightly stunned.
Then, there was a brief moment of silence.
After a while, An Xin's voice rang out again.
"Why would I lie to you?"
An Xin's tone was as calm and natural as ever, as if she wasn't affected in the slightest. But at the same time, she seemed to be trying to hide her calmness.
Lin Feng continued to speak in a serious tone.
"Your body.
How are you feeling? Are you alright? "
An Xin smiled. "Didn't I tell you? I'm fine. I can continue training with you tomorrow night. Why would I lie to you about something like this?"
As she spoke, the girl paused for a moment and added with a smile on her face, "Don't worry.
"Besides, my body has always been fine."
"You see, when have I ever been sick before? On the contrary, you used to run around and play everywhere, catching a cold, catching a fever, and getting sick more often, right? "
Lin Feng scratched his head and told the truth.
"Oh, I guess so …"
"But I feel like you're lying to me."
On the other end of the phone, An Xin curled her lips and said, "What do you mean? Why are you like Tang Tang? Your intuition is so sharp."
Lin Feng felt a bit more at ease when he heard the girl's ridiculing tone. But after thinking for a moment, he asked again in a serious tone:
"Are you really fine?"
"Yes."
"You won't lie to me, right?"
"Yes."
"You have to promise."
"… Yes, I promise."
When An Xin asked the last question, she paused for a second, but still made a promise in a soft tone.
Lin Feng finally relaxed.
"That's great! Hey, we've agreed to meet at the internet cafe tomorrow night. The training schedule is tight! Oh right, don't forget to give Senior Number Five a call! "
An Xin smiled.
"Alright, alright, I got it. I'm hanging up. Bye bye ~"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng finally felt relieved. Although he had a vague feeling that he had forgotten something, he scratched his head and dispelled the idea of continuing to recall it. Instead, he sat in front of his desk and began to work hard on a pile of homework.
At the same time …
On the other end of the phone, in the bedroom of the house, the girl who had just hung up the phone sat quietly on the bed. There was a table lamp with a dim yellow light on the bedside table, quietly sprinkling its light on the white sheets, also illuminating the girl's delicate and moving side profile.
The girl lowered her head.
She didn't say anything.
Her right hand tightened around the phone.
Her knuckles were pale from clenching the phone too tightly.
Lie … to me?
If it's possible …
I definitely, definitely don't want to lie to that idiot.
But …
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me for lying to you this time.
I'll let her be stubborn for once and continue to fabricate this lie.
…
The next day, An Xin still didn't come to school.
But in the evening, when the representatives of the Shanghai TV Industry Association met up in the internet cafe as usual, An Xin finally showed up.
Seeing the familiar figure of the girl, the representatives of the Shanghai TV Industry Association looked pleasantly surprised. They immediately crowded around An Xin and asked her questions.
"Steamed Bun, are you alright?"
"Are you feeling better?"
An Xin replied with a smile, "Yes, Sir.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
"Sorry for making you guys worry."
Lin Feng laughed. "I told you, Steamed Bun, you're in great health. A little illness is nothing to worry about!"
Ceng Rui looked An Xin up and down. He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"If that's the case, let's continue the training."
"It'll be the top 16 in two days."
Anxin also nodded with a smile, but she added one more thing.
She added, "I've been thinking about the competition for the past two days.
Let's try something different during today's training. "
Something different?
Hearing this, Ceng Rui was slightly startled. His eyes subconsciously fell on Anxin, but the latter's smile did not diminish.
"There won't be too many changes, but I have some new ideas for my jungler."
"Try it and you'll know."
…
And so, the five representatives of the Shanghai TV Industry Association once again threw themselves into intense team training.
Soon, An Xin's new ideas for jungling were displayed in the team matches.
In the past, An Xin's jungler heroes were usually the Blind Monk, Prince, or Pekingese. The Blind Monk and Pekingese, in particular, were always able to perform amazingly well in An Xin's hands.
But from this day onward, An Xin's jungler style changed.
After abandoning the Blind Monk and Lion Dog, Anxin began to use Heroes such as Excavator, Widow, and Nunu the Snowman.
In comparison, these heroes focused more on jungling awareness.
Lin Feng had even voiced his opinion.
"Steamed Bun, why don't you play Blind Monk and Pekingese?"
"Nunu, Widow, and other heroes don't have any mechanics."
From his point of view, An Xin's hand speed was so good that it shouldn't be wasted.
But Ceng Rui had a different opinion. He agreed with An Xin's new jungler choice.
"It's not a bad idea to change styles.
"If it's heroes like Nunu and Excavator, they can follow another playstyle and combine it with more new tactics."
"In the future, when we play against Zhejiang University or even Fudan University, we'll need more aces up our sleeves."
Tang Bingyao and Zhang Hao also expressed their agreement.
With that, Lin Feng's unconstructive suggestions were ignored.
Training continued.
In private, Lin Feng didn't relax even after he returned home every night. He had to play at least four or five ranked matches every day to ensure that he kept a steady pace of getting points.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye.
On Saturday night, the East China region of the National University League of Legends welcomed the top 16.
The Shanghai TV Industry Association's team in Group A would be playing in the first round.
Following them in the second round was Zhejiang University's team from the Zhejiang region.
They were the team that placed fourth in the last National University League of Legends.
They were a true powerhouse with a top-tier adc, Nian Lun.
