Chapter 640

"School team? Not interested!"

At a roadside coffee shop, as soon as Bai Lianghe heard Shen Xing was there to ask her to join the school team, she shook her head and refused without a second of hesitation.

Seeing her refuse so bluntly, Shi Jingming couldn't help but say: "Why? Shen Xing hasn't even mentioned the terms and benefits yet; he won't treat you unfairly."

"I'm just not interested, no reason why." Bai Lianghe shrugged and pouted: "Besides, what does it matter how good the terms and benefits of a school team are? I'm not short on money!"

Shi Jingming's interest instantly died upon hearing this.

Forget it, another one who isn't short on money.

Shen Xing was a bit desperate; he held his cup and looked at her earnestly: "Please consider it. Your skills are so good, wouldn't it be a pity not to play in competitions?"

"What's a pity about that?" Bai Lianghe looked at Shen Xing: "For me, games are just entertainment; I usually use them to pass the time."

"Instead of wasting time on me, you'd be better off hurrying to find someone else."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to call the waiter: "Give me a 'thick egg sandwich' and a 'grilled chicken thigh green field salad', no salad dressing, please."

The waiter nodded and took out a scanner. Seeing this, Shen Xing hurriedly reached out and handed over his payment code: "Scan me, scan me."

Bai Lianghe glanced at Shen Xing, didn't argue, but just emphasized again: "I'm really not interested."

"I definitely won't force you." Shen Xing paid the bill, but he didn't give up just like that. He had finally encountered someone with real strength; he absolutely couldn't give up now: "You can state your conditions. As long as you're willing to come, I'll agree to anything."

Shi Jingming seemed to see Shen Xing's determination and resolve, so he nodded in agreement from the side: "Right, you can bring up any requirements you have. This team is Shen Xing's; if he says he can agree to it, he definitely will."

But Bai Lianghe still just shook her head lightly, her eyes clear and free of desire.

"I don't have any conditions; I'm just purely not interested in this matter."

Shen Xing felt his strength drain away, as if he had hit a cotton ball.

But he wasn't impatient for quick success; pestering her from the start would likely make her feel repulsed, and then there would be no chance at all.

"Then can we add each other on WeChat first?"

Shi Jingming turned his head to look at Shen Xing.

Bai Lianghe didn't have any resistance to this, so she picked up her phone generously: "Sure, you already treated me to coffee and lunch."

She took the initiative to scan Shen Xing's business card, then looked at Shi Jingming: "Shall we add each other too?"

Shi Jingming reacted belatedly and handed over his WeChat business card.

After they had added each other as friends, Bai Lianghe looked at Shen Xing and said: "You play very well. Although I don't pay much attention to the university league, I've seen several videos of your operations. If there's an opportunity, we can team up to rank up."

"Sure, no problem."

As long as there is contact, there is still a chance. If he had been in a slightly confused stage about forming the school team before, after meeting Bai Lianghe today, he suddenly felt everything was bright and clear.

Coming out of the coffee shop, Shi Jingming couldn't help but say excitedly: "Xing, if we can pull this girl in, the strength of our school team will not be underestimated."

"She can play the marksman role she's best at, and that way you can return to the jungler role you're best at. You alone could drag the Longda school team into the finals; if a team has another teammate whose strength matches yours, it will definitely be able to achieve a better ranking."

Shen Xing naturally knew this logic, and he had already calculated it in his heart.

"It's just that her personality is so direct, and she refused so bluntly. Isn't it said that girls are very tactful? I didn't even react just now."

Shen Xing smiled, feeling that Bai Lianghe's personality was actually quite good.

"It's easier to communicate with a direct personality, but her attitude was indeed too firm. You can tell she has no intention at all."

"Then what do we do? I see you don't seem to have any intention of giving up at all."

"Of course. I even feel now that only by pulling her in can my school team see hope." Shen Xing said truthfully: "But I don't know her well enough since we just met, so I don't dare to be too aggressive. Although I'm very anxious now, I can't be impatient; I'll take it slow."

Shi Jingming nodded in understanding: "Anyway, the base is still being renovated, so we still have some time."

Early that morning, Shen Ci appeared in the morning class classroom on time. As soon as she sat down, the girl next to her hinted that there was something in her drawer.

Seeing this, Shen Ci felt inexplicably irritable; she reached out and pulled an envelope from inside.

A handwritten love letter—how retro.

But before she could react, a classmate called her: "Shen Ci, someone is looking for you at the door."

This voice was neither loud nor soft, but it once again drew the attention of all the classmates. As a focal point of the school like her, this situation happened anytime and anywhere; even when she walked on campus alone, there would always be people glancing at her frequently.

Shen Ci was already used to it.

She got up and walked toward the door. The classmate who had just called her leaned in and kindly reminded her: "It's from the Student Union."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci understood immediately and gave the classmate a slight smile: "Thanks."

Arriving at the door, it was indeed Wang Yikun outside.

"Looking for me?"

Shen Ci walked up. Her tone wasn't exactly good, but it wasn't bad either; it could only be described as very flat.

Wang Yikun glanced at the classmates coming and going around them, then looked at Shen Ci and said in a low voice: "Let's go somewhere else to talk."

Smart as she was, she had already guessed the purpose of Wang Yikun taking the initiative to find her.

"If you're paying me back, you could have just transferred it to me on WeChat; there was no need to make a special trip to find me." After Shen Ci finished speaking, she realized: "Oh, I forgot you haven't added me on WeChat. I'll add you, and we can delete each other after the money is received."

Before Shen Ci could even take out her phone, an envelope was handed over to her.

Seeing the envelope, Shen Ci frowned again: "Cash?"

Wang Yikun nodded with an embarrassed expression.

After taking it, Shen Ci couldn't help but chuckle. She had just received a handwritten love letter, and in the blink of an eye, she received cash stuffed in an envelope.

Renaissance?

But after she opened the envelope and glanced inside, she turned to look at Wang Yikun: "This isn't enough, is it?"

"It's not enough, but this is all I can scrape together for now. I'll think of a way for the rest as soon as possible."

Shen Ci nodded and didn't continue to make things difficult for him on this matter. Not acting like a rascal was already considered having a sense of responsibility; a few dollars really wasn't a small amount for a college student.

Seeing Shen Ci nod, Wang Yikun turned and left as if fleeing.

Watching his back, Shen Ci thought of the arrogant, superior air he had put on in front of her at the beginning, and couldn't help but snort with a laugh.

"Shen Ci!"

The next second, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and landed on her shoulder, giving Shen Ci a start.

"Director Li?" Seeing the other person, Shen Ci couldn't help but pat her chest with lingering fear: "Why do you walk without making any sound?"
