Su Xiyan, You took the wrong medicine

Su Xiyan was holding a soup spoon, gently stirring it in her own small bowl, very much wanting to ask Cheng Xinran clearly, what kind of hints was this so-called hint? But she couldn't show it, lest her bestie mock her.

Although Cheng Xinran confided everything to Su Xiyan, even to the point that Su Xiyan was a demon hunter who kept a little vampire by her side, she could accept it and help conceal it. Now she even gave her good bestie ideas and suggestions.

Cheng Xinran looked at her good bestie with a scrutinizing gaze, thought for a bit, and asked: "Xiyan, you wouldn't be serious, would you? I feel like you..."

Su Xiyan elegantly took a sip of soup, her tone calm: "It's just finding a little brother to practice on, you can think of it as me grinding for experience!"

Hmm hmm? Grinding for experience? She's quite dedicated to this grind!

Cheng Xinran lightly tapped the table with her fingers: "Then there's no problem. I've put the detailed tutorial in the USB drive, it's my Cheng Xinran’s nanny-level flirting secret manual. Xiyan, you're so smart, I believe you can definitely learn and apply it."

Su Xiyan breezily expressed: "Doesn’t matter, it's just practice anyway."

Hmm hmm? Emphasizing it again? Is she feeling guilty?

Su Xiyan didn't want any flaws being spotted, so she hurriedly changed the topic: "I heard Boss Tang has been very busy recently?"

Boss Tang referred to Tang Zhiyuan, he was the boss of Su City's demon hunter organization, fully responsible for all affairs and coordination.

Cheng Xinran shrugged: "Yeah! Boss Tang has deployed all his power recently to search for that vampire king-level vampire lurking in Su City."

"It’s a pity, nothing yielded."

"Xiyan, think about it. To be able to reach the vampire king level, their concealment skills must be extremely formidable! I reckon even your dad might not necessarily be that vampire king's match."

Su Xiyan had always been extremely respectful and admiring of her own dad: "Nonsense, my dad just needs a little bit more before he can become a legendary demon hunter. It's a pity, he just lacks one opportunity."

"An opportune chance is hard to come by. If my dad encountered this vampire king-level vampire in Su City, he might be able to break through to the legendary demon hunter realm."

"But my dad travels all year round, I don't know where he's run off to now."

Cheng Xinran grabbed Su Xiyan's hand: "Xiyan, I know you are very competitive, but if you really encounter that vampire king, you must not act rashly and protect yourself!"

Su Xiyan smiled with a nod: "Okay, don't worry, I will."

"Let's not talk about work while eating out. Shall we talk about something else?"

Cheng Xinran: "???"

"Xiyan, obviously..."

It was clearly Su Xiyan herself who deliberately changed the topic earlier!

It seemed that Su Xiyan knew her bestie was about to retort her, so she hurriedly picked up her phone to scan the table's QR code for ordering, then handed her phone to Chen Xinran:

"Xinran, want some dessert after the meal?"

When it came to food, Cheng Xinran's eyes lit up. She couldn't even retort Su Xiyan anymore.

When two women were together, they always had endless topics to talk about. After eating, they went shopping again.

As Su Xiyan was walking hand in hand with Cheng Xinran shopping, Chen Shuo was ransacking boxes and cabinets at home.

He had called Su Xiyan twice earlier, just wanting to ask where the spare charger was placed.

Usually when not in use, chargers seemed to be everywhere. But now when he needed it, he couldn't find it. How strange.

He called to ask Su Xiyan where she had kept the spare charger.

But after Su Xiyan picked up, Chen Shuo was interrupted by her before he could ask.

After searching half a day in vain, he picked up his phone again to ask Su Xiyan. However, on second thought, he put his phone down again.

Whatever, just go out and buy a new one!

Chen Shuo still didn't know his simple intention to just call and ask where the spare charger was had instead sparked Su Xiyan and Cheng Xinran's imagination into dramatizing a plot about him.

After buying a new charger from downstairs, Chen Shuo’s phone finally turned from red to green in remaining battery.

Modern young people’s sense of security really does come from their phone’s battery percentage, the saying was indeed spot on.

With his phone charged again, Chen Shuo started booting up his computer to play games.

He had placed his desktop on the slanted writing desk.

The desk was a little small. After laying out the mousepad, if the mouse movement range was a bit too big, it would knock into the keyboard.

But it was still better than nothing right? Certainly more comfortable than a bedside desk in a dorm.

Chen Shuo put on his headset, launched Steam, teamed up with his buddies, driving a truck and toting an AKM, wearing a Level 3 helmet, cruising through PUBG's vast Miramar desert.

Seeing the toxic circle constricting, Chen Shuo prepared with his team to ambush care package deliveries at the edge of the circle.

His four teammates had each staked out their position. Chen Shuo was armed with an AKM, the most lethal at close range, so he hid behind a small dirt pile closest to the roadside.

Sure enough, a convoy came to deliver packages.

The enemies were already right in Chen Shuo’s face with their vehicles, yet he hadn't fired.

His anxious teammates shouted at Chen Shuo over voice chat before he finally snapped back to his senses and let loose a sweep with his AKM.

Although Chen Shuo had zoned out earlier, his pinpoint shooting skill was still peerless. Adding his teammates’ coordination, they managed to wipe out the entire enemy squad and harvest this wave of packages.

While looting, his teammate asked Chen Shuo: “What were you thinking about earlier? They already drove up to your face yet you didn't shoot?”

Chen Shuo found an excuse for himself: “Was just organizing my headset wire, didn't notice."

"Here, the Level 3 helmet's for you."

When guys play games together, things were just that simple and blunt. Some minor slip-ups wouldn't be taken to heart, handing over some equipment in-game would be good enough.

The final circle was closing in soon. Chen Shuo took a look at his phone, it was already past 9 p.m.

How come Su Xiyan still wasn't back??

Could she really be spending the night out?

His teammate’s voice pulled Chen Shuo back: “Get in, the toxic circle’s shrinking.”

“What are you dazing out for?”

Chen Shuo hurriedly hit F to get in the vehicle and continued rampaging in the game, periodically glancing at the doorway.

After another game, when it was 10 p.m. Chen Shuo finally heard the door lock’s successful verification prompt from the doorway with his perked ears.

The door opened with a clicking sound as Su Xiyan came back.

Chen Shuo’s tense sitting posture instantly slackened. He lazily sat in his chair and sneered: “Weren’t you spending the night out?”

“Why come back so early?”

Su Xiyan retorted: “Came back to see if you, this little vampire, secretly ran away.”

“I...”

Su Xiyan was about to mock him when she suddenly recalled Cheng Xinran’s words to her.

She had to guide Chen Shuo, make him voluntarily express what was on his mind.

If that was the case, she couldn’t keep being fierce. What if she really frightened Chen Shuo away? How awful would that be?

Su Xiyan took a deep breath, walked over behind Chen Shuo, leaned in to take a look at his screen: “Final circle huh? Chen Shuo, you’re so good!”

Chen Shuo was so frightened he dropped his mouse. He turned back with an expression of utter shock: “Su Xiyan, are you on drugs??”
