Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 171 - 170: Lin Xi’s Boyfriend, We Will Definitely Help
Si Wen took out her phone, opened her photo gallery, and searched for the pictures Xue Yang had taken at the trendy clothing store.
She then found one with a snowy background where his gaze met Lin Xi’s across the space between them. This photo had a great feel to it. Among all the pictures the company had taken, it was her absolute favorite. After finding it, she sent it to her friends’ group chat.
As soon as the photo was posted, the group chat exploded.
"AHHH... he’s so handsome! Is that a real person?"
Si Wen’s expression darkened. "Of course he’s a real person. When have I ever lied to you?"
"The real person must be even more handsome. We really want to see him."
"I have another candid shot of them together," Si Wen typed.
"Post it, post it! We want to see!"
Si Wen sent another photo taken at the guesthouse, this one showing Xue Yang wearing Xiang Naier clothing while standing next to Lin Xi. Although their gazes weren’t interacting, you could feel the palpable affection swirling around them even through the screen.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the group chat fell silent.
If the previous photo had filters, then this one was shot from a normal angle. But precisely because it was normal, Xue Yang looked even more unreal. For girls like them, who had seen countless handsome men, to unanimously find him handsome meant he must be absolutely stunning in person.
"Si Wen, give us the address and we’ll spare you. We want to see him in person."
"He’ll be taking Lin Xi and me to class on Monday," Si Wen replied. "Whether you get to see him or not will depend on your luck."
"We’ll definitely get there early on Monday!"
Beautiful girls always liked to time their arrival at school perfectly, but this time, in order to see Lin Xi’s boyfriend, they decided to wake up early. This showed just how determined they were.
"Enough about that," Si Wen typed. "Are we playing the game or not?"
"Games aren’t as fun as handsome guys."
"Exactly. We can play LoL anytime, but a handsome guy is a rare sight. Si Wen, do you have any more photos? Preferably the kind that are..."
"I have a new game here," Si Wen typed, changing the subject. "I’ll show you guys how to play. When it goes live, you can all promote it on your Weibo accounts."
"It’s for Lin Xi’s boyfriend? We’ll definitely help! When does it go live? I’ll get all my friends to support it."
"Just wait for the announcement," Si Wen said. "Okay, I’m sending the installation package to the group. Everyone download and install it on your phones."
"It’s a mobile game! That alone deserves praise."
"Yeah, every time we want to play, we have to go through the hassle of finding a computer. Having a mobile game is so much more convenient."
"I’m asking you to help, not to get addicted to the game," Si Wen reminded them. "We only have half a year until the college entrance exams. Lin Xi and I are planning to apply to Yanbei. What about you guys?"
"Our grades aren’t as good as yours. After high school, we’ll follow our families’ arrangements to study abroad. When we come back in three years, we’ll go straight to work at our family companies."
When this topic came up, the mood suddenly became a bit somber. Graduation meant everyone would be parting ways. The group of them had grown up together and had never been separated. This time, their separation would last for three years. The thought alone made them want to cry.
"Let me know in the group when you’ve finished downloading," Si Wen typed.
"By the way, Si Wen, what’s the name of this game?"
Only then did Si Wen realize she had forgotten to ask Xue Yang. I forgot to ask. I’ll ask Xue Yang tomorrow.
"We’ve downloaded it. Let’s log in."
With exactly five people, they formed a team and started a match.
After one game, everyone was still itching for more.
"This game is so much fun! We can’t wait for the day it goes online."
"Come on, let’s play another round."
Si Wen hid under her covers. Aside from the faint light and murmured speech that escaped when she occasionally turned over, anyone would have thought she was asleep.
In contrast to the heated gaming happening on Si Wen’s end, things were much cozier with Xue Yang and Lin Xi.
"You lost the game to Si Wen?"
Lin Xi was slightly startled. She had indeed lost to Si Wen when they played, without winning a single round. She had only been upset about it for a moment and never expected Xue Yang to have noticed.
"Mm," she hummed.
Lin Xi could beat Si Wen at everything except gaming, where she was always a little behind. Actually, she was behind by a lot. The previous day, while playing Daji, she was relentlessly chased by Si Wen, gloriously ending with a 0-10 record.
"Here, I’ll teach you how to play Daji."
"Okay."
Xue Yang embraced her from behind, his hands covering hers, teaching her hand over hand.
"Daji has three skills. The first skill, ’Soul Impact,’ is a non-targeted skill that can be cast in the direction you choose. It’s her main skill for poking, dealing damage, and finishing off enemies.
"The second skill, ’Idol Charm,’ is a targeted skill. That means, once it’s cast, it will usually automatically track and hit the target.
"Her ultimate, ’Idol Worship,’ is also a targeted skill, but its five fox-fires will randomly attack targets within the skill’s area of effect. Especially when facing multiple enemies, the skill may not secure a kill since the damage is split among them."
Lin Xi quietly listened as Xue Yang explained Daji’s skills, then followed his lead to farm minions, cast skills, and position herself.
"It doesn’t seem too hard."
"Daji is a hero we’re using to attract players, so she’s the easiest to play—a no-brainer hero, you could say."
In reality, pursuing Chen Ying could be considered hell mode, but in the game, Daji was touted as the easiest hero—so simple anyone with hands could play her.
I wonder what Chen Ying would think if she saw this?
However, Xue Yang hadn’t actually thought about it that way. He simply felt that Chen Ying’s image suited Daji. Their game also happened to need a tutorial hero, for which Daji was the most suitable choice.
"She’s very pretty. Using her as the tutorial hero is an excellent choice. She’ll definitely attract a lot of players."
Xue Yang’s chin rested on Lin Xi’s head as he hummed softly, "Not as pretty as you."
A blush quietly crept up Lin Xi’s ears. "Where am I the prettiest?"
"Everywhere. But if I had to specify..." Xue Yang’s gaze drifted downward, and from his point of view, he could see two large, white hemispheres...
"Where are you looking?"
"I’m not looking anywhere in particular."
"If you want to look, I can let you, but only for a peek."
"Just a peek?"
"Then how many peeks do you want?"
"Lots of them."
The two of them, who were supposed to be playing a game, ended up tumbling together.
Then, Xue Yang discovered a certain Xiao Naimao’s weakness, which was...
"Haha... It’s ticklish!"
She was ticklish.
He hadn’t realized it before, but now that he’d discovered her weakness, Xue Yang acted as if he’d stumbled upon a great secret and began to play around with glee. The best part was that the lightest touch was enough to make her dissolve into giggles.
