111. Sweet and sour spare ribs
After Shang Huo was revived, He Jin still didn't want to talk to him. He awkwardly turned around and sat on the grass, taking out the flute from his waist.
It was daytime in the game. The sky was clear and there was a gentle breeze. He Jin picked up the flute and played it gently.
The sound of the flute seemed to have a natural lingering feeling. Shang Huo sat behind Ah Jin and listened quietly with an intoxicated expression.
The two of them sat on the grass, one in front of the other. Tangyuan flew in the air, slowly moving up and down. Occasionally, he would twist his butt as if he was beating the beat of Ah Jin's flute. The family of three looked especially warm and comfortable.
As He Jin was playing the flute, he heard a "Ding" sound. The system prompted, "Your flute skill has been upgraded to Level 5."
He Jin was stunned. Suddenly, he thought of something and checked the list of music he had learned. Sure enough, he saw the song "Lost Bamboo." It was the score that had dropped when they had first met Liluo. Back then, his level wasn't high enough, so he couldn't play it. Now, he could.
He stared at the "Lost Bamboo Melody" in his line of sight, only to see an attribute introduction appear above it — When playing this song with the "Bamboo Bowl", there will be unexpected effects.
He Jin, "…"
Someone in the team looked for Shang Huo to discuss their opponent for the second match. Qin Yang went offline first.
His Highness Jiu sighed. "Sigh, that 'Hubby Loves You Team' is worse than 'Dragon God Team'."
Qin Yang, "What do you mean?"
His Highness Jiu, "It's just a noob team. They're all level 80 + smurfs. They had the second lowest number of spectators for tonight's match. I feel like they're just here to join in the fun. They were just lucky last time and drew a team worse than them. They even won!"
Qin Yang, "It seems like their luck isn't too good this time. They drew us."
His Highness Jiu, "Pfft …"
Wild Crane, "There's another team with better luck than 'Hubby Loves You'. They're called 'Babies Don't Cry'. They're also a normal team. They drew a draw this time and directly advanced."
Shishui scrolled through the forums and suddenly said, "There's a team called 'Emperor Team'. They're quite strong. Everyone should pay attention to them. I just saw their advancement video today. They aren't any weaker than 'Haagen-Dazs' and 'Lost Souls'."
His Highness Jiu, "Emperor Team? Why does it sound so familiar … "
Wild Crane also flipped to the post that Shishui mentioned, and read out the names of the team members, "Captain Huang Taiji, team members Dragon Prince, Long Live Your Majesty, Prince Romantic, Factory Flower Very Handsome … Uh, Jiu, are you a spy sent by the Emperor Battle Team?"
His Highness Ninth: "F * ck! Why does it sound so familiar? Their captain was looking for me a while ago! That guy from Huang Taiji. He wanted to pull me into his team, but I rejected him! "
Everyone: "…"
Shishui: "From the name alone, you do fit their style."
When Qin Yang heard that the opponent's strength was average, he relaxed a little. He picked up his wristband and sent Hou Dongyan a text message. "Are you there?"
Hou Dongyan: "… Yes, what?"
Qin Yang: "I promised to treat you to a meal. Are you free tomorrow?"
Hou Dongyan: "Yes!"
Qin Yang asked, "What is He Jin doing?"
Hou Dongyan: "…" Sure enough, there was a price to pay for eating! Orz...
He turned his head and saw that He Jin had just taken off his helmet and was stretching his neck. He guiltily congratulated He Jin on his victory before secretly replying to Qin Yang: "Aren't you with him in the game? Why are you asking me?"
Qin Yang: "He's still at loggerheads with me and doesn't want to talk to me."
Hou Dongyan: "I'm Brother Jin, and I won't talk to you either. How can you play like this? Even if you tell me you're Qin Yang, I'll still worship you like a god. Why do you have to lie to me?"
Qin Yang: "If I were to confess, would he still be my wife in the game?"
Hou Dongyan: "Uh …" Indeed, Brother Jin had been hesitant to play from the beginning. Speaking of which, it was me who had enlightened him … Oh my god! Could it be that I was the culprit who had caused Brother Jin to walk down the path of no return?
Qin Yang: "We don't have a competition tomorrow. Noon or night?"
Hou Dongyan: "I have to sleep in in the morning. Can we go at night?"
Qin Yang: "Sure, where do you want to eat? You can choose."
Hou Dongyan: "Anywhere is fine?"
Qin Yang: "Yes, anywhere is fine."
Hou Dongyan: "More than 500 per person is fine too?"
Qin Yang: "That's fine too."
Hou Dongyan: "What a nouveau riche!"
Qin Yang: "You flatter me."
Hou Dongyan didn't dare to ask for too much, so he picked a small restaurant near the school. The reputation there was pretty good, and the price was considered above average among the restaurants near the school. "Do you want me to help trick Brother Jin out?"
Qin Yang: "No need. You can do it yourself."
Hou Dongyan was a little confused. Was Qin Yang really just trying to fulfill his previous promise to treat him to a meal? In any case, he had already thought it through. Even if Qin Yang needed his help, he wouldn't betray Brother Jin again!
The next night, the two met at the restaurant. When Hou Dongyan saw Qin Yang, he thought about how he was the number one god in Godfiend. He put aside his previous emotions and couldn't help but get excited. "Ahem, it's an honor to meet you." Hou Dongyan scratched his head. This was the first time he felt uncomfortable in front of a junior.
"Have a seat. Why are you being so polite with me?" Qin Yang distanced himself from the previous politeness and looked like a good brother. "Drink? Can you drink white wine? "
Hou Dongyan hurriedly waved his hand. "No, no, no. Beer is fine."
Qin Yang ordered two bottles of Tsingtao and a table full of dishes. Hou Dongyan became even more embarrassed. "Just order a few dishes. It's just the two of us, so we can't eat much."
"Eat slowly?" Qin Yang calmly poured Hou Dongyan a glass of wine and asked, "Does He Jin know that you came out to eat with me?"
Hou Dongyan's heart tightened. "He doesn't know …"
To be honest, he had carefully found an excuse before leaving. Although he didn't do anything shameful, he felt that it was a strange … feeling to go out behind Brother Jin and Junior Brother Qin's back.
"What's wrong?" Hou Dongyan asked guiltily.
Qin Yang smiled. "I'm afraid he'll be jealous."
Damn! Hou Dongyan was embarrassed. This guy made it sound like Brother Jin really had feelings for him!
After eating for a while, Hou Dongyan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did you really meet eight years ago?"
Qin Yang: "Yes."
But even if they met eight years ago, it was just an online game. Just like how he had enlightened He Jin before, no one would take a casual relationship in the game seriously!
Hou Dongyan: "Pardon me for asking … Are you born gay?"
Qin Yang: "No."
"Uh …" Hou Dongyan was getting more and more confused. "To be honest, Qin Yang, I think you're perfect in all aspects. If you don't develop that kind of relationship with Brother Jin, it's pretty good to just be friends. Why do you have to chase after him? Brother Jin is a straight man and had a girlfriend in the past. You two definitely can't be together. Don't you feel awkward being like this? I can understand why Brother Jin ignores you now. "
Although as a straight man, he was quite happy to see highly competitive opponents go astray … But now, he treated Qin Yang as a friend. The path of homosexuality was so difficult, and he really didn't want the two of them to "go astray."
Qin Yang smiled and lowered his eyes. "I confessed to him on Valentine's Day."
Hou Dongyan: "…"
"What did he say?" Hou Dongyan took it for granted that He Jin would refuse, but Qin Yang didn't look like he was heartbroken, so he was a little confused.
Qin Yang used his fingers to gently rub the rim of his glass and looked up slightly. His smiling eyes looked especially dazzling and handsome under the lights. "He said he likes me too."
Hou Dongyan: "…" Damn you! Tsk …
Qin Yang didn't mention it again. He only told Hou Dongyan not to worry. The two continued eating and chatted about the game. In this aspect, Hou Dongyan had to prostrate himself before Qin Yang.
After the meal, Qin Yang called the waiter. "Help me make a new set of sweet and sour pork ribs and pay the bill."
While waiting for the sweet and sour pork ribs, Qin Yang suddenly asked, "He Jin is playing in the dorm during the competitions now, right?"
Hou Dongyan nodded. "I help watch the door when he's competing. No one will disturb him."
"It's not a problem now, but once it's the finals …" Qin Yang looked at him and said seriously, "It's next weekend. I don't think the dorm is very safe. To avoid any problems, I want to take He Jin to a more secluded place … But isn't he still angry with me? I'm afraid if I tell him, he will use you as an excuse."
"Oh! I see! " The meal cost Qin Yang more than three hundred yuan. Hou Dongyan was both grateful and apologetic. He always felt that Qin Yang treated him like this because of He Jin. Now that he heard Qin Yang's explanation, he had long thrown the words "I won't betray Brother Jin" to the back of his mind. "Then I'll tell Brother Jin that I have something to do at the last minute!"
Qin Yang: "Thank you."
The waiter quickly brought over the wrapped sweet and sour pork ribs. Qin Yang handed the pork ribs to Hou Dongyan. "This is for He Jin."
Hou Dongyan: "…"
It was already eight o 'clock when Hou Dongyan returned to the dorm. He Jin had already eaten and was watching tonight's competition in front of the computer. Hou Dongyan placed the hot box of sweet and sour pork ribs on He Jin's desk. "Here you go."
He Jin took off his headphones and touched the box beside him. A strong sweet and sour fragrance wafted out. "What's this?"
He thought Hou Dongyan had given it to him and wanted to thank him with a smile. Unexpectedly, Hou Dongyan said, "Sweet and sour pork ribs. Qin Yang brought it to you."
He Jin frowned. "You had dinner with him tonight?"
"Uh, I, I just happened to run into him." Ahhh, I accidentally exposed myself! Hou Dongyan carefully looked at He Jin. He was drooping his head and pursing his lips.
