NOVEL NEXT Hearing that from Gu Cheng, Song Wen reaches out one hand, pointing at him. His hand trembles for a good while before he says with bitterness: “I consider you my best friend and trust you with my most valuable asset.”
“Haha!”
Ah Zhao can’t hold back her laughter any longer and bursts out laughing.
She laughs while looking at Song Wen: “Are you guys normally like this?”
She thinks about it but can’t come up with a proper adjective for them.
Song Wen supports his glasses with his hand. He glances at Ah Zhao and sighs with emotion: “You don’t understand it, Tang Zhao. Life needs art. School is unbearable enough. If I don’t find some fun for myself, how dull will it be.”
Ah Zhao looks at the two of them and waves the book in her hand at them: “I think your life is dull all because you don’t put your mind into study.”
Song Wen looks at the exercise book in her hand and his face becomes miserable in an instant: “If I have to choose between study and death, I choose to die directly!”
Ah Zhao: “…”
Well, she doesn’t understand the world of an underachiever.
She looks towards Gu Cheng and finds that he is playing a game on his phone with his head down.
She asks: “What are you playing?”
Gu Cheng doesn’t have the time to look up while his fingers are flying across the keyboard.
Song Wen says beside her: “It’s the hottest mobile competing game at the moment. I’ll tell you what, a good student like you won’t understand it.”
“What’s its name? Can you teach me how to play it?” Ah Zhao gets out her phone.
Song Wen is surprised: “Eh? You want to play?”
Ah Zhao nods.
Song Wen is about to tell her but he shakes his head: “No, no! A good student like you should occupy yourself with study. Don’t play mobile games with us.”
He whispers: “If Old Kai knows that I take you to play games with me, I won’t live to see the sun next week.”
Gu Cheng, who has killed two enemies in the game says at leisure: “The weather report has said that it will be rainy all through next week. There’s no way you can see the sun next week.”
Song Wen: “…”
He says with grief and indignation: “Can’t you leave me some dignity in front of our new classmate?”
Gu Cheng: “Dignity? What is that? Do you ever have dignity?”
Song Wen: “…”
He looks sideways at Ah Zhao’s phone screen and sees a familiar icon.
“Did you download it just now? How do you know what we are playing?”
Ah Zhao points at Gu Cheng calmly: “It’s on his phone.”
It’s not complicated to sign up so Ah Zhao creates an account for herself.
She isn’t in a hurry to play the game before going through game tutorials and guides for several times.
Seeing what Tang Zhao is doing, Song Wen wants to play the game as well. However, he doesn’t have a phone so he can only look from the side while saying: “Do you need my help?”
Ah Zhao nods.
“Try single player mode first.”
Ah Zhao clicks into single player mode.
Soon, Song Wen and Ah Zhao’s voices ring inside the classroom:
“Skill, throw him a skill!”
“Don’t go that way. Run. Quickly, run! Mm, your character is going to die.”
“Yes, that’s it! Wait till he gets in the trap and kill him!”
“Like this? Well, I see.”
“…”
Gu Cheng suddenly stops playing.
He lifts his head and looks at the two who are sitting in front of him.
Since one of them is playing and the other instructing, they sit pretty close to each other. From where he is, he can only see two heads nearly touching, which reminds him of an intimacy with nothing in between.
“Wen Zi, you.”
Ah Zhao is about to get better at the game when she hears Gu Cheng’s voice from behind.
