Chapter 19 - You're the person that I recommended in
"And then guess how he responded!!"
The next morning in the practice room, Xiao Bai moved his chair next to Pine's and rambled on about his story for a long time.
Pine was only wearing headphones on one side, but he wasn't paying attention to Xiao Bai either; instead, he was single-mindedly concentrating on his team fight.
Xiao Bai ignored Pine's indifference. After swallowing the in his mouth, he said, "He actually also responded to me—with a 'good evening'!!!
"There's no way I misheard it. Even though his tone of voice still sounded extremely unenthusiastic, it was definitely a 'good evening'!"
Pine returned to base and cut off Xiao Bai before he could say 'good evening' a third time. "Didn't you say you two were absolutely irreconcilable?"
"Ah?" Xiao Bai paused before nodding. "Yeah."
Pine said, "Right now, it's like you want to wear the same pair of pants as him."
Xiao Bai: "..."
Pine continued to stare at his computer screen expressionlessly. "Do you not feel like you're very similar to a certain group?"
Xiao Bai: "What group?"
Pine: "That group of dumbass fans in his livestream room."
Xiao Bai: "...BS."
"Why did you go dry your clothes in the middle of the night at two a.m.?" Pine asked.
"I couldn't sleep, so I decided I might as well just do my laundry." Xiao Bai leaned back in his chair. "Never mind about me. When I returned to my room after hanging up my clothes, both you and Qian-ge's lights were still on in your rooms. I saw it from the crack underneath the door."
"I didn't really sleep..." After his game concluded, Qian-ge rubbed his eyes and said, "Nobody in the base should've been able to sleep well last night, probably."
"No, Soft definitely slept very soundly." Xiao Bai said, "He never liked Kan."
As soon as he said that, the person himself appeared in the doorway.
Jian Rong was holding a cup of milk, his hair a bit messy, his clothing somewhat rumpled as well. His eyelids were lowered listlessly, dark circles underneath his eyes, and he looked as if he could fall asleep on the spot if someone handed him a pillow.
In the course of opening the door, entering the room, walking to his spot, turning on the computer, and entering the game, he yawned a total of seven times.
Xiao Bai: "?"
Yuan Qian asked, "Soft, you didn't sleep well last night either?"
Jian Rong entered the queue and answered hoarsely, "En."
Yuan Qian nodded understandingly. "Don't stand in the wind for so long on the balcony next time, it's easy to get a headache."
A cold arrow-like gaze shot over, and Xiao Bai felt a chill run down his back. He slowly nudged his seat back over to his computer using his butt.
"It has nothing to do with standing in the wind." Jian Rong randomly made up an excuse. "I suddenly had some trouble falling asleep in a different bed."
Everyone in the practice room: "..."
That really was quite sudden.
Jian Rong created a custom game and practiced waveclearing for half an hour, before finally he couldn't help but pick up his cup and walk towards the break room.
