Chapter 89: Competition in the internet cafe

After leaving the mall, Qin Tian hailed a taxi on the side of the road to take Xia Nuannuan home first.

"Qin Tian, do you want to come to my house for dinner?"

When they were almost at the residential area, Xia Nuannuan looked at Qin Tian and invited him.

Qin Tian froze for a moment, smiled, and declined: "Not today, please send my regards to your mom."

"Alright!"

Xia Nuannuan felt a little disappointed inside, but didn't continue to insist.

Soon, the taxi stopped at the entrance of Xia Nuannuan's residential area.

"Then I'll go in first, see you at school later."

Xia Nuannuan opened the car door and said goodbye to Qin Tian with a sweet smile.

"Okay."

Qin Tian nodded with a smile.

After Xia Nuannuan got out of the car, she turned around, bowed, and said: "Qin Tian, thank you for today, I had a lot of fun."

"It's a pity your eyes are swollen from crying."

Qin Tian raised his finger to point at her eyes and teased with a light laugh.

Xia Nuannuan blushed in embarrassment and gave him a playful roll of her eyes.

"Hahaha... alright, I won't tease you anymore. I had a lot of fun too, and thank you for the gift for my mom; she will definitely be very happy."

"Hee hee... that's good, bye-bye."

After saying this, Xia Nuannuan closed the car door and stood outside the car, waving gently at him.

Qin Tian smiled and told the driver uncle his home address.

The driver uncle skillfully shifted gears, made a U-turn, and then accelerated away.

Watching the taxi disappear from sight, Xia Nuannuan turned and entered the residential area.

She hummed the ending song of the movie from today, returned home with light steps, and took out her key to open the door.

In the open kitchen, Su Xia was busy preparing dinner.

She had already sent a message to ask before making dinner, and her daughter told her she was planning to come back for dinner.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Su Xia turned to look toward the entrance.

"Nuannuan?"

"Mm, Mom, I'm back!"

Xia Nuannuan responded hurriedly.

"Come over quickly, tell Mom what you two did today?"

Su Xia urged with a smile while stir-frying.

"Nothing much, just strolled around shopping, then watched a movie and came back."

Xia Nuannuan replied in a calm tone, but thinking of the scene of leaning on Qin Tian's shoulder and holding hands while watching the movie, a shy blush still appeared on her face.

"Why didn't you let Xiao Qin come up for dinner?"

"I asked, but he wouldn't come, and he asked me to send you his regards."

"It seems that last time your dad scared Xiao Qin."

"Exactly, it's all Old Xia's fault!"

While chatting and laughing, Xia Nuannuan had already changed her shoes and walked toward the kitchen.

Su Xia turned her head to look at her with a gentle smile and was stunned for a moment.

"Why are your eyes swollen like peaches? Did you cry?"

She frowned, her heart full of doubt.

Judging by her daughter's tone, it didn't sound like she had been wronged!

What was going on?

"Ah? Is it that exaggerated?"

Xia Nuannuan rubbed her eyes in a panic and explained with a smile: "I cried watching a movie just now; that director and screenwriter are too annoying."

"Pfft!"

Su Xia was amused and teased, unable to laugh or cry: "How old are you, and you can still cry watching a movie?"

Hearing this, Xia Nuannuan immediately remembered her almost identical bold words before the movie started, and her pretty face felt a bit hot instantly.

"Hmph! That's because you haven't seen this movie; there are really many tear-jerking parts, you would cry too if you watched it."

"Tch, you think I'm you?"

"Then next time there's a holiday and you're free, I'll go watch it with you again and see if you cry or not."

"Sure! Whoever cries is a puppy. Your mom isn't a little girl anymore; I haven't watched TV shows and movies for so many years for nothing."

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to wash my face."

Xia Nuannuan pouted.

"Mm-hmm, go quickly, you take a hot towel and apply it first, then I'll help you with an ice compress to reduce the swelling later, otherwise, if you go to school like this tonight, you'll definitely be laughed at."

"I know, I know!"

Qin Tian went home first, put away the clothes he bought, and then went out to the internet cafe.

When he encountered a street snack stall on the way, he bought two jianbing guozi (savory crepes) and also bought some various fried skewers.

Eating the crepe, he arrived at the internet cafe.

"Good evening!"

The girl at the cashier greeted him with a smile when she saw him come in.

Last time, the boss helped this handsome guy move his computer and invited him to eat barbecue; she had seen it all.

And after that, the boss had come twice and specifically instructed them that if Qin Tian came over, they should treat him well, and any consumption in the internet cafe would be free.

"Good evening, help me open a computer."

Qin Tian requested with a smile.

"Okay, where would you like to sit?"

The girl asked hurriedly.

"Is Xu Hao here?"

"Yes, he's in his usual spot, and your classmate is there too."

"Then see if the computer next to them is free?"

"Okay, let me check."

The girl checked on the computer, looked up with an apologetic smile: "No, the seats next to them and around them are all full. How about I get you a good seat in a private room?"

"Then forget it, I'll see."

Qin Tian declined with a smile, took a bite of the crepe, and walked toward the spot where Xu Hao usually sat.

Before he even saw anyone, he heard the shouting of Zhang Peng and Xu Hao.

"Damn, why don't you come up and gank!"

"Screw you, you're playing a Stone Man and got beaten into this state, just defend the tower!"

"Damn, the enemy jungler has come a few times already, and you've been playing wits with the jungle monsters for ten minutes."

"You don't know anything, I controlled two dragons, okay, and I also counter-jungled the enemy."

"Hao Ge, Peng Ge, don't argue, don't argue, I'll carry!"

"You're playing an ADC with 30 CS in ten minutes, and you want to carry?"

"Uh... my hand feel for last-hitting is bad today, damn, my cannon minion!"

"..."

Qin Tian walked over with a smile and was dumbfounded.

Good heavens, two rows of people sitting face to face, actually playing a match.

Zhang Peng and Xu Hao were sitting together, playing so focused that their eyes were almost sticking into the computer screen.

"Haha... Hao Ge, your technique didn't learn the essence, it's not even one-tenth of your master's level!"

The jungler opposite mocked with a grin.

"Get lost, isn't it just picking up two kills from the Stone Man, what are you being smug about, my economy is higher than yours, okay!"

Xu Hao retorted without looking up, unconvinced: "Wait for the team fight, watch me teach you how to be a human with a super roundhouse kick."

"You don't have to wait for the team fight, the top tower is about to be gone."

Zhang Peng, with a dark face, interjected.

"Damn, what are you playing, can you be more steady playing a Stone Man? Can't you last-hit under the tower?"

"Last-hit my ass, you try last-hitting under the tower with a Stone Man? I don't have that level, hurry over, the jungler is in your blue buff area, about to dive me."

"Can't get over there, if you die, just defend the second tower, trash!"

"Pfft, you brain-damaged jungler!"

"Stupid top laner!"

"Haha..."

The young people watching from behind burst into laughter.

Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh, eating the crepe and walking over.

The young people watching saw him, and a look of excitement immediately appeared on their faces.

"Shh..."

Qin Tian made a gesture for silence.

The young people nodded in understanding, signaling they understood, and made way for him. ===== CHAPTER 90 =====
