Chapter 898

Early the next morning, Shen Xing drove to pick up Bai Lianghe.

Because the residential compounds where the two families lived were very close, this was not the first time Shen Xing had picked up Bai Lianghe on his way.

Bai Lianghe's father, Bai Hong, happened to be home today as well. Seeing Shen Xing arrive, he couldn't help but greet him warmly: "Xingxing is here, sit down quickly, An'an hasn't woken up yet."

As he spoke, he called for the nanny to go upstairs and wake his daughter: "Sister Song, go wake An'an up and tell her that Shen Xing is here to pick her up."

"No rush, Uncle, I'll wait for her."

Bai Hong smiled and said: "She must have stayed up late playing games again last night. She's always like this; if she doesn't have class the next day, she definitely stays up late the night before. Have you eaten yet, Xingxing?"

"I've already eaten, Uncle."

Shen Xing remained polite; mainly, his grades were good, he was handsome and upright, and his family background went without saying.

With him coming to pick up his daughter every few days, Bai Hong had his own thoughts in mind, and now he looked at Shen Xing as if he were looking at a son-in-law.

Bai Lianghe's mother brought out a plate of fruit for Shen Xing to eat. Shen Xing hurriedly stood up to take it and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Bai Hong asked casually: "Is your sister busy lately?"

Shen Xing ate a strawberry and nodded: "She is a bit busy, but she spends most of her time at school lately; she's about to graduate."

Bai Hong showed a look of understanding and was just about to take the opportunity to ask about the situation between Shen Xing and his daughter, when his daughter came down from upstairs.

"What time is it even?"

Bai Lianghe yawned and said, looking at Shen Xing on the sofa.

Before Shen Xing could speak, Bai Hong interjected: "It's almost nine o'clock. You two had an appointment today, why didn't you get up earlier? Xingxing has been waiting for you for half an hour."

Shen Xing smiled and hurriedly indicated: "It's fine, do you want to eat something before we head out?"

Bai Lianghe waved her hand: "No, I didn't sleep well and have no appetite."

As she spoke, she was already heading toward the door. Seeing this, Shen Xing hurriedly said goodbye to Bai Hong and his wife, then quickly chased after her.

After the two left, the smile on Bai Hong's face deepened; he was clearly one hundred percent satisfied with Shen Xing.

Seeing this, his wife couldn't help but tease: "Look at how happy you are. Wasn't it you who said back then that you'd break the legs of anyone who dared to covet your daughter?"

"Oh, that was when our daughter was in middle school, we had to be on guard," Bai Hong said. "Now that our daughter is in college, she definitely has to date. A college life without dating is incomplete."

His wife smiled and pointed out: "I don't think it's as simple as just dating, right? You think this kid Shen Xing is good in every way, and you'd be very satisfied if An'an were with him."

Bai Hong did not deny this at all: "That's for sure. I already felt that Shen Xing's conditions were very good in all aspects. Look, he's not only a top student at Longcheng University, but he can also win championships in gaming, which shows he's no bookworm. His personality is relatively outgoing, and he's very polite, which shows that this person is very measured in his conduct."

"His family background is also very outstanding. Being the younger brother of Miss Shen, and with his second sister being a celebrity, isn't that good enough? Not long ago, his mother married Jiang Yuanliang, this is truly a wealthy family among wealthy families; it won't wrong our An'an."

His wife shook her head helplessly: "You're thinking quite far ahead. I don't think they look like they're dating."

"Tsk, they're definitely dating," Bai Hong said with a look of certainty. "I absolutely won't be wrong."

Hearing this, his wife raised her eyebrows slightly and didn't say anything more.

Passing by a "7-Eleven" on the road, Shen Xing stopped the car to go inside and buy a sandwich and a bottle of milk for Bai Lianghe.

Looking at her listless state and the fatigue under her eyes, Shen Xing asked: "Didn't sleep well last night?"

Bai Lianghe glanced at him: "Duh."

She appeared self-centered and willful on the outside, but in reality, she had suffered from insomnia all night because she was worried about the others.

"Do you think the two of them will show up today?" Bai Lianghe finally couldn't help but ask.

Shen Xing fastened his seatbelt, looked at Bai Lianghe, and shook his head: "I don't know either."

But after his sister's guidance last night, his state of mind was much more relaxed.

His sister was right; no matter what choice they made, it was a choice they had to make for their own lives. He couldn't interfere, nor did he need to worry too much.

Only respect.

The "Longcheng B-Star" esports base was in the western suburbs. Following the address sent by Coach Haichang, Shen Xing drove for over an hour. Bai Lianghe slept again in the car, and Shen Xing only woke her up when the car came to a steady stop.

Looking up, what came into view was a very modern, high-tech, all-glass building, with the "Longcheng B-Star" logo on the top floor.

Bai Lianghe couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in shock: "It's this big?"

Shen Xing also felt a bit stunned; compared to their base, the professional club's base building was truly a drop in the bucket.

Getting out of the car, the two of them caught sight of a figure standing at the main entrance without any preparation.

Both were startled!

It was Mujin!

"Mujin!" Shen Xing shouted excitedly, giving Mujin, who was looking down at her phone, a fright.

She looked up, saw Shen Xing and Bai Lianghe, and then smiled and waved at them.

Shen Xing and Bai Lianghe hurried toward her. Upon reaching her, Shen Xing said excitedly: "You came!"

Mujin had shed yesterday's heaviness; at this moment, a smile hung on her lips, and she nodded gently: "I came."

Then she looked at Bai Lianghe, her eyes moved as she said: "I am Bai Bai's gold-medal support, after all. Our coordination is invincible; I can't leave her behind, and she can't be without me."

Bai Lianghe, who was always rational, felt her eyes suddenly turn red upon hearing this. She didn't say anything, just stepped forward and hugged Mujin.

Seeing this scene, Shen Xing felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

"Do you still remember what you said to me when you first pulled me into the team?" After letting go of Bai Lianghe, Mujin looked at Shen Xing and asked.

Shen Xing slowly recalled, and Mujin continued: "You said that female players who step onto the professional stage are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and that if I have such an opportunity, I should step forward."

"Last night, it was thinking of these words you said to me that made my heart even more determined. I also love esports, and there are so many girls who love esports, so I think you're right. Since I have this opportunity, I should step forward to blaze a trail for female players. If I were to give up when the opportunity is right in front of me, how long would girls have to wait for the next opportunity? How long would it take to see female players on the professional stage again?"

The Mujin who used to be timid and lacked confidence when facing invitations seemed to have awakened all at once. Hearing her words, Shen Xing couldn't help but nod vigorously: "That's right, you're right to think that way!"

Who would have thought that at this moment, a taxi slowly drove from the end of the road and finally stopped steadily at the main entrance.

The person in the car opened the door and got out. Seeing the three people at the entrance, she didn't seem surprised at all. She waved and greeted with a smile: "What a coincidence, you're here too?"

The three of them were both surprised and happy, and at this moment, they couldn't help but have red eyes.

It was Senior Yu Qian!

?? Bai Lianghe's nickname is An'an.

? Bai Bai is what friends call her.
