The mont Si Wen stepped out of Lin Xi’s house, the other Little Fairies flocked around her with questions.
"How is she? Xiao Xi is alright, isn’t she?"
Although these were Lin Xi’s best friends, they usually didn’t dare to simply walk into her ho uninvited.
Si Wen smoothed out her skirt and said, "She’s fine. She has her boyfriend keeping her company remotely, so let’s not disturb her."
"Then what about the plan to go hang out at Xue Yang’s place?"
Now that they knew Lin Xi was okay, this beca their primary concern. It wasn’t really about going to see the fireworks; it was more that with their whole group together for the New Year, there wasn’t much else to do, so they had thought about visiting another city. They had all grown tired of traveling to foreign countries.
Besides, they would be studying abroad after high school graduation anyway. There was no need to rush off to another country during the New Year. It would be more fun to travel dostically. The Spring Festival was always more exciting in China.
"Don’t worry, Xiao Xi already agreed. On Valentine’s Day, we’ll take her private jet and go have fun for a couple of days."
"That’s fantastic! I’ve never been to the south before."
" neither. It must be a lot of fun, right?"
"Well... I don’t know about that, but when we get there, we’ll just pop up right in front of Xue Yang and surprise him!" Si Wen said excitedly.
She could already imagine how shocked he would be when all seven of them suddenly appeared before him.
"Haha, that’s a great idea!"
"Then let’s rember to keep it a secret in the group chat."
The group of chattering Little Fairies headed off toward Imperial City.
Lin Xi’s ho wasn’t far from Imperial City, probably only about a kiloter away. The drive was just a few minutes, and she even had a perfect, unobstructed view of the fireworks display from her house. So, it really made no difference whether she went to see the fireworks in person.
Besides, going to the site ans standing out in the cold wind, which I hate.
I wonder what Xue Yang is doing right now.
Just then, Xue Yang suddenly sent her a WeChat ssage. "Want to play a ga? I’m teaming up with my cousins and the others."
"Sure."
Lin Xi quickly grabbed her phone and logged into the ga. Shortly after she got online, Xue Yang sent her a team invitation. As soon as she joined the lobby, she saw three strangers were already there.
Seeing the new person enter, Yang Xiaozhi was the first to ask, "Cousin, who is this?"
"I know! It’s Sister-in-law! It has to be Sister-in-law, right? Sister-in-law, is that you?" The one speaking was Xue Xing.
"Xue Yang, who is this?" Lin Xi asked.
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! I’m my brother’s younger brother!"
Well, he’s not wrong.
"That’s my younger brother, Xue Xing. The one who spoke just before was my cousin, Yang Xiaozhi, and the other one... is my cousin’s wife, Chen Fang," Xue Yang introduced them briefly.
"You sure have a sweet way with words, little brother."
"Sister-in-law, your voice is really nice, too."
A strange expression crossed Chen Fang’s face. Xue Yang had a girlfriend, but this girlfriend wasn’t her sister.
"Xue Yang, is this really your girlfriend?" Chen Fang asked in surprise.
"Yeah."
Chen Fang fell silent. What she really wanted to ask was, if this girl was his girlfriend, then what about her sister? Ever since her sister had returned, she hadn’t seed to be in a good mood. She hadn’t even gone out to have fun during the New Year. Chen Fang had asked her once if it had sothing to do with Xue Yang, but her sister never answered.
After a mont of thought, however, Chen Fang decided against asking. Obviously, asking about another woman in front of his current girlfriend wouldn’t be a very moral thing to do.
Soon, the group finished selecting their heroes. Lin Xi picked her signature hero, Daji. Xue Yang chose the marksman, Lu Ban No.7. Xue Xing, being the youngest, picked the support Lian Po. Chen Fang took the top-laner Arthur. Yang Xiaozhi played the jungler Luna.
The team composition was perfectly sound.
"Cousin, how co all your characters have skins?"
"They’re beta skins that haven’t been released yet. Only a handful of people have them."
"Cousin, from the sound of it... don’t tell you know the owner of this ga company?"
The owner? Do I count as the owner?
Xue Yang said, "I know a few staff mbers. They helped set it up."
Well, Kexin is part of the staff, so that explanation works.
"You’re amazing, Cousin. You even know people like that."
The more Yang Xiaozhi interacted with Xue Yang, the more he felt like a frog in a well.
Is the problem with , or with my perspective?
He suddenly felt a bit lost.
"So, what do you all think of the ga?" Xue Yang took the opportunity to ask for their feedback.
"It’s aweso! You have no idea. Before, you had to play that other PC MOBA on a computer—and it had to be a good one, or else it would lag all the ti. Now that this ga is out, it’s so convenient. Whenever you want to play, you just need to group up with a few friends and you can start. The only thing is, there are too few heroes and skins. Most characters don’t have a skin yet."
Chen Fang added, "That’s true. If there were skins, I’d definitely want to buy them. But it would be better if they were a bit cheaper. Or maybe we could get them through in-ga events, since not everyone can afford to buy skins."
Xue Yang listened to Yang Xiaozhi and Chen Fang while continuing to play. He had already considered the points they raised.
Hmm, I should have Cui Hao run a feedback event on the official Weibo account to see what happens.
"Hey, Cousin, if any more beta skins co out, could you hook up with one?"
"They should be holding a feedback event soon. If you participate, you can get a beta skin."
"That’s great! Thank you, Cousin."
"You’re welco."
"Bro, can I have one too?" Xue Xing asked timidly from the side.
"We’ll talk about it after you graduate high school."
"Oh." Xue Xing didn’t dare say another word.
It’s a miracle I’m even getting to play tonight. If I push my luck by asking for stuff, Bro would normally chew out. He’s only letting it slide because Sister-in-law is here.
"Sister-in-law, I’m coming to support you!" Xue Xing scurried over to the mid-lane.
Xue Yang shot him a look, and Xue Xing quickly explained, "Bro, you already got first blood, so you definitely don’t need my protection. Sister-in-law is different. If I don’t protect her..."
Just then, an announcent echoed through the ga: "Double Kill!"
"Sister-in-law is amazing! My supporting was aweso, right?"
"No, it’s because Xue Yang taught well."
By eleven-thirty, Yang Xiaozhi and his group had to leave. He needed to be ho by midnight to set off firecrackers. The other kids who were playing with fireworks had also all gone ho.
"Bro, I’ll be back in a bit," Xue Xing said before running ho as well.
When Xue Yang returned to the house, the Spring Festival Gala on the TV was in its final stages.
"Dad, Mom," Xue Yang called out as he prepared to go upstairs.
Xue Yuanqing, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly spoke up. "Xiao Yang, it’s good to have ambition, but don’t put too much pressure on yourself."
?
"We appreciate the gesture, but you’ve only just started your first year of college. Buying a house isn’t urgent. Our house here is perfectly fine. We can even grow so vegetables and raise chickens out front. It’s quite nice.
"The commute to work is a bit far, but that’s alright. We have a car, so it’s still convenient."
