Chapter 29: A Chance Encounter with Hao Anqi

"Oh my god! Shen Yan, how did you do that? You stunned me with that last wave."

"We're all human, why are you so 6?"

"You've really mastered this game."

Because she was too excited, a faint blush bloomed on Wu Yue'er's pretty face, and her peach-blossom eyes sparkled like stars, as if a force were constantly surging within her body.

She was not some clueless novice; having dabbled in Dota for two years and watched many videos of top-tier players showing off incredible maneuvers, it went without saying that Shen Yan was a naturally gifted gamer.

Ordinary people might never reach this realm in their entire lives.

It had nothing to do with the length of practice; that hand speed, reaction ability, analysis of the situation, and dazzling operations were enough to explain everything.

*Cough cough! *

Shen Yan coughed twice and said calmly, "Basic operations, don't be so 6, it's mainly because the opponents were too trash."

"Start, start, start, next round."

Listening to Wu Yue'er spare no effort in praising Shen Yan, even though Shen Yan was indeed awesome, Lin Yang still couldn't help but feel a wave of sourness in his heart, wishing he could take Shen Yan's place.

Why wasn't he the awesome one?

If Wu Yue'er admired him like that, Lin Yang could be happy enough to fly all day long.

Thinking about it carefully, he seemed inferior to Shen Yan in every aspect—handsome, rich, and good at games. Fortunately, Shen Yan didn't have any feelings for Wu Yue'er, otherwise, with this rival in love...

In the following rounds, Shen Yan played while answering questions for the two of them, which allowed both of them, who already had a foundation in the game, to improve rapidly.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yue'er had high talent for the game; she could often draw inferences about other cases from one instance, had her own understanding of operations, and her playstyle was exceptionally fierce—daring to act and think, possessing a spirit that was not inferior to men.

Tsk tsk! She was worthy of being a Northeast Huniu; she was completely different from ordinary girls.

The heavy rain lasted for two and a half days, and as everyone expected, the military training was postponed again and again. The freshmen, having nothing to do, just played games, played cards, and read books in their dorms.

It was indeed quite cozy at first, but after being cooped up in the room for a long time, they began to yearn for the vast, boundless land outside and just wanted to go out for a walk.

September 7th, 1:00 PM.

The rain gradually lessened, turning from a downpour to a drizzle, and the clouds released the sun that had been bound for a week; the sky was clear.

The world after the rain seemed to be reborn, sweeping away the previous dullness and oppression. The newly cleared sky was limpid and bright, and a rainbow bridge spanned the horizon, adding color to this quiet world.

The students could no longer hold back and ran out of the dorms, greedily breathing the fresh air outside, as if they were sipping nectar.

At two o'clock, the counselor Huang Shuren @everyone in the group, asking Yu Youwei to organize people to go to the Academic Affairs Office to collect military training uniforms, and to gather on the playground at seven o'clock tomorrow morning for the mobilization meeting.

Unsurprisingly, Yu Youwei thought of Shen Yan and the other three first. Shen Yan was, of course, not stupid enough to do this manual labor and had Yu Youwei find another male dorm.

At 8:30 PM, after slaughtering the entire field again, Shen Yan stood up, stretched, and asked Lin Yang, "Suddenly craving crawfish, want to go out and grab a bite?"

Before Lin Yang could speak, Wu Yue'er on the other end of the headset had already shouted.

"Yes, yes! Take me with you."

Lin Yang, who hadn't intended to refuse anyway, heard this—what else was there to say? Let's go!

Shen Yan added, "Wu Yue'er, if you're coming, hurry up. We'll meet at the entrance in ten minutes; no waiting if you're late."

Wu Yue'er immediately bristled, but fearing that Shen Yan really wouldn't take her, she began to get ready at lightning speed.

Upon learning the news, Yu Youwei hurriedly called and asked Shen Yan to take her along. What could Shen Yan do? He only had a small e-scooter and couldn't carry her.

"Gao Yan, we are best friends," Yu Youwei said pitifully.

"How about this, after we finish eating, I'll have Wu Yue'er bring some back for you to satisfy your craving."

"Alright!"

Five minutes later, Wu Yue'er appeared downstairs in the dorm building wearing pink-rimmed glasses. She walked while combing her hair, then tied it into a high ponytail. She wore a chiffon shirt on her upper body with only the top button undone, revealing her snow-white skin, and a khaki A-line skirt on her lower body that covered half of her thighs, making her waist look slimmer and her legs longer.

It had to be said that Wu Yue'er knew how to show off her own advantages.

Lin Yang was stunned and amazed on the spot.

Shen Yan said, "So you're nearsighted. You look a bit unfamiliar like this."

"Can't help it, I studied too hard back then. Chen Shanni in our dorm is also nearsighted; she usually wears contact lenses." Wu Yue'er looked a bit annoyed; wearing glasses seriously affected her appearance.

The three didn't say much more and pushed the small e-scooter out of the shed. Shen Yan sat in the driver's seat, Wu Yue'er sat behind, and Lin Yang felt embarrassed to squeeze with Wu Yue'er, so he had to squat in the front, feeling aggrieved.

On the way to Gourmet Street, Lin Yang asked Shen Yan why he thought of buying a small e-scooter. Shen Yan said, "You might not know, but university classes are different from high school. Usually, you change classrooms after two classes, and the school is so big that you might have to run back and forth between the east and west campuses. Having a vehicle makes it much more convenient."

"Ah? Is it that troublesome?"

Lin Yang really didn't know this. No wonder the school was full of bicycles and small e-scooters coming and going. He then asked Shen Yan where he bought the vehicle and how much it cost, planning to buy one himself later.

Wu Yue'er was considering buying a bicycle.

Due to the early flood discharge and good dredging work, the heavy rains of the past few days didn't leave any traces in the surroundings. After a sunny afternoon, the entire ground was parched.

Zijin Road was still bustling and noisy, but compared to the last time they had a meal together, it was much quieter. Some stalls were vacant, individual shops were closed for business, and the neon lights appeared somewhat lonely and desolate.

There happened to be a crawfish restaurant next to Manyuefu, with a few outdoor tables and chairs placed at the entrance, specially prepared for customers who liked to enjoy food in the open air.

The interior decoration of the shop was simple and plain, with some photos and paintings of crawfish hanging on the walls, making one feel the rich crawfish culture as soon as they entered.

The shop was filled with the aroma of crawfish, with flavors to choose from, such as spicy, garlic, and thirteen-spice. Upon asking the price, it was 50 yuan for 3 jin. The three of them ordered 6 jin first, and then a few bottles of beer.

Then they found a seat by the window and sat down.

In less than ten minutes, two large plates of crawfish were brought up, but just as the three were about to start, the window glass was suddenly knocked.

"Dong dong dong!"

Shen Yan turned his head to look and was immediately stunned.

Standing there with a beaming smile, who else could it be but Hao Anqi.
