On a summer afternoon, the white clouds in the sky were as soft as cotton candy. It was so quiet that one could spend a leisurely time with the lazy sunshine.
The cicadas on the parasol trees on both sides of the street were still chirping.
There were few pedestrians on the roadside.
This kind of weather was not suitable for going out. During the summer vacation, the boys excitedly went to the internet cafe to play online games with their friends. The girls, on the other hand, had to be more reserved. If a boy took the initiative to ask them out, they would have to see if the boy met their standards of the opposite sex.
If he met, they would do the honor of showing up, dress up carefully, and then go out in canvas shoes.
If they didn't like him, they would just find an excuse to dismiss him.
Girlfriends would also meet up to go shopping in the mall to buy clothes or trinkets, but in such a hot summer day, even the desire and motivation to shop would be evaporated by the high temperature.
It was more comfortable to stay in an air-conditioned room and watch movies and watch Korean dramas.
"It's too hot today. I don't want to go out."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow."
In a pink girl's room, the soft mattress was covered with a layer of ice-cold mattress. Song Jia was lying on the bed in a tank top and hot pants, revealing a pair of fair and smooth calves that were lazily kicking in the air. She was holding a cell phone and casually chatting with her best friend on the other end of the line.
Cheng Qingqing sighed on the other end of the phone.
"Sigh, if you don't come out, I can't find anyone to go shopping with me …"
"This summer vacation is too boring!"
Song Jia narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"What, there are times when our Miss Cheng can't ask someone out?"
"Usually in school, when you, the Miss Cheng, wave your hand, the suitors will flock to you and line up for you to choose."
Cheng Qingqing began to complain.
"Sigh, don't even mention it. Once it was summer vacation, those stinky boys who used to follow me around all went to the internet cafe to play League of Legends. It was as if they were on steroids, and all they cared about was ranking. I even took the initiative to look for one or two of them, but they were all stalling and saying that they had something to do. In the end, I logged into the game and looked at my friend list.
On the other end of the line, Song Jia nearly laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, really?"
"Our great beauty Cheng's charm isn't enough to pull those guys' hearts out of the game?"
"Those guys are destined to be alone for life!"
Cheng QingQing snorted. "Let's not talk about this anymore. I get angry just thinking about it. Hey, how are things on your side? Have you made any progress recently?"
Song Jia was stunned. "Me? What progress have I made? "
Cheng Qingqing's tone suddenly became somewhat mischievous.
"Didn't you take the initiative to add little brother Lin Feng on WeChat during the MSI Mid-Season Invitational Tournament? After that, you even took the initiative to mention him when we chatted a few times. What's wrong? Little brother Lin Feng's college entrance examination is over and he's on vacation, so you haven't flirted with him again?"
When Song Jia heard this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on her pretty face, but she quickly calmed down and pretended to be indifferent.
"Oh, him."
"You're overthinking it. At that time, I was just in the mood and thought that the kid was quite interesting, so I added him on WeChat."
"We didn't contact each other much after that. We just chatted casually twice. I'm not interested in that aspect at all."
Cheng Qingqing giggled when she heard this.
"Not interested?"
"Are you not interested … or is he not interested?"
"Could it be that the prettiest girl in our school of finance took the initiative to take an interest in someone for the first time, and he actually didn't appreciate it? Tsk tsk, if this gets out, it'll be big news — "
Song Jia, who was teased by her best friend, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Who's interested in that kind of kid?"
"Stupid Qing, if you say another word, I'll tear your mouth off!"
However, although she was warning her best friend, in fact, when Song Jia thought of the few short WeChat conversations she had with a certain person, she couldn't help but feel a rare sense of defeat.
That was indeed the case.
Although it wasn't as exaggerated as Cheng Qingqing made it out to be, it was indeed quite rare for her to take the initiative to talk to a boy who was a year or two younger than her. However …
The response she received was completely different from what she had hoped for.
During their WeChat conversations, she took the initiative to ask a certain person out for a meal and a chat, but the other person's reply was always "Okay next time when I'm free."
In any case, in her opinion, it was full of perfunctory meaning.
Previously, she could explain it away by saying that a certain person was busy preparing for the college entrance examination and couldn't leave.
But now that the college entrance examination was over, it was already summer vacation.
Song Jia still remembered the last time she sent Lin Feng a message to ask about how he was doing. She thought that since it was summer vacation, there was no excuse for him to be busy, but in the end …
"That kid is actually playing League of Legends too, but he still says he's busy!"
Speaking of this, Song Jia couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger.
She, Song Jia, was publicly recognized as the prettiest girl in the school of finance. She had so many pursuers that they could line up from the cafeteria to the dorm building. It was rare for her to take the initiative to ask someone out, but it seemed that she was the one who got the cold shoulder.
This breath of air was really suffocating!
Cheng Qingqing laughed gloatingly on the other end of the phone.
"Hahaha, so I'm not the only one in this situation. Jia Jia, you're not much better."
"Sigh, but little brother Lin Feng is still different from those stinky boys on my side. Those stinky boys play League of Legends, and the highest rank they have is platinum diamond. Most of them are still struggling to climb up the ranks in the silver and gold ranks. Little brother Lin Feng, on the other hand, even went to MSI's All Star Interactive Exhibition and played against God F!"
Song Jia snorted coldly.
"It's all the same!"
"We're all destined to be alone for the rest of our lives!"
"Ah, forget it. He's a boy, after all. Girls like us still don't understand how attractive games are to them," Cheng Qingqing comforted her best friend with a smile. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she said, "Oh right, but speaking of which —"
"League of Legends seems to be really lively these days."
"When I was scrolling through a few forums about League of Legends, I think I saw that the European server is going to be in chaos?"
"It's said that there's a guru called 006 on our server who's about to make it to the top ten of the European King of Legends Leaderboard, right?"
Song Jia was slightly stunned. She thought for a moment and nodded.
"Oh, I think so."
"It's quite a big deal on the internet."
"I saw a thread discussing it too."
Cheng Qingqing giggled. "That's normal. After all, it's our guru who's fighting in the European server and making it to the top ten of the European King of Legends Leaderboard. That's glory for our country! No wonder so many of our netizens are so excited. "
As she spoke, Cheng Qingqing's eyes rolled around on the other end of the line, and she suddenly laughed evilly.
"Sigh, it seems that 006's identity is very mysterious now. He's not a professional player, just an ordinary passerby player."
"Isn't little brother Lin Feng busy playing LoL recently too?"
"Say, do you think 006 is him?"
Of course, Cheng Qingqing was just joking when she said that.
Song Jia also curled her lips and replied angrily, "Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, yes. "
"Maybe it's really him. Otherwise, why would he be so busy?"
But the two girls did not think too deeply about such unintentional words. Little did they know that such a casual remark had already guessed the truth that countless players had not been able to guess.
At the same time —
That night.
Eleven o 'clock at night.
In his bedroom, Lin Feng was still sitting in front of the computer screen.
Another solo match of the European King of Legends Leaderboard had ended. The emblem of "Victory" slowly appeared in the center of the game screen.
Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief.
Finally.
His CN 006 account on the European server had made it to the eleventh place of the European King of Legends Leaderboard.
He was only one step away from the top ten.
