Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 280 - 278: Watch Me Learn

After leaving the team, Xue Yang started a game on his own.

He hadn’t been playing for long when a message from Xiao Naimao popped up.

"Xue Yang, what are you up to?"

"Playing a game."

"Oh."

"Class shouldn’t be over yet, should it?"

Lin Xi’s classes usually ended at ten, and nine on Fridays. Right now, it wasn’t even eight.

"I asked my teacher to excuse me from class."

Xue Yang exited the game.

"Are you not feeling well?"

"No, I just missed you."

This girl... she’s still worried about me.

A warmth spread through Xue Yang’s heart.

It’s a shame she lives in a dorm and can’t leave campus; otherwise, I’d go pick her up from school right now.

However...

"Lying to your teacher isn’t a good habit."

When did this girl learn to lie?

"Weren’t you in a game?"

"I logged off."

"Ah? Get back on! I’ll log on, too. After you finish this match, we can play together. I haven’t played in ages, and since I already have the night off, can we just slack off for one evening? Please?"

"Just for tonight."

Lin Xi’s eyes curved into a smile. "Okay."

Xue Yang logged back into the game.

He finished the match as quickly as possible. His skills were already commendable, and besides, his account was an internal one that had been slightly buffed.

He checked his friends list, and sure enough, Lin Xi was online.

He sent an invitation, and a second later, Xiao Naimao’s avatar appeared on his screen.

"Xue Yang, you can start now."

"Alright."

Just as he was about to begin, Cui Hao sent him another party invitation.

"Xiao Xi, wait for me a second."

With that, he joined Cui Hao’s lobby.

"What’s up?"

"Xue Yang, carry me, please."

It seemed the previous round had dealt a major blow to Cui Hao’s confidence. He urgently needed Xue Yang to help him get his win back.

Bai Yueguang said nothing.

Strange, Xue Yang thought. Isn’t she supposed to be number one on the leaderboard? Is this all she’s got?

"I’m inviting someone."

The next second, Lin Xi, with her Xiao Naimao avatar, appeared before Cui Hao and his girlfriend.

Seeing the unexpected female player, Cui Hao immediately asked, "Xue Yang, is this your girlfriend?"

Lin Xi was about to ask Xue Yang what was going on, but when she heard Cui Hao’s question, her eyes lit up.

"Hello, I’m Xue Yang’s girlfriend."

Although her first meeting with Cui Hao hadn’t been pleasant, there were extenuating circumstances at the time. Now, Lin Xi didn’t need to hide it, so she admitted it freely and openly.

"Hello, hello! I’m Cui Hao, Xue Yang’s roommate and colleague. What’s your name?"

"My name is Lin Xi."

Lin Xi?

Back in the dorm, Cui Hao froze for a moment, phone in hand. He felt like he’d seen that name somewhere before. But where?

He sat up, wracking his brain. He was certain he’d heard the name before, but he just couldn’t place it.

"Why can’t I remember?" Cui Hao muttered, tapping his head with his hand. He had a nagging feeling that he was forgetting something very important.

Four people weren’t enough for a full party, so Bai Yueguang recruited a random player. They quickly entered matchmaking, interrupting Cui Hao’s train of thought.

Bai Yueguang chose a marksman again.

Cui Hao dutifully picked a support.

Lin Xi chose her signature hero, Daji.

And Xue Yang stuck with Dian Wei, just like in the last game.

It was a perfect lineup.

"Every time I see you pick Dian Wei, it feels like such a contrast."

"What kind of contrast?" Xue Yang asked.

"The character’s aesthetic doesn’t suit you at all."

Xue Yang was, at the very least, a pretty boy, while Dian Wei was an absolute mad dog. No matter how you looked at it, they were complete opposites.

"Whatever. As long as he’s effective, his looks don’t matter."

"..."

The game started, and everyone went to their positions.

Xue Yang had personally taught Lin Xi how to play Daji, so naturally, she had no problem.

For some reason, however, Cui Hao and Bai Yueguang not only gave up first blood, but their plays were also consistently sloppy. If it weren’t for Xue Yang controlling the tempo, the match would have been unplayable.

Most importantly, his teamwork with Lin Xi was just too good. Basically, as soon as Lin Xi stunned an enemy, Xue Yang could swoop in to secure the kill. As a result, the enemy team started to specifically target Lin Xi and Xue Yang.

However, they were destined to pick the wrong targets. After a few failed attempts, the opposition finally realized it was futile to go after them.

Xiao Qiao: "Are the enemy Dian Wei and Daji a couple?"

Hearing this, the light in Lin Xi’s eyes grew even brighter. "Yes, we are!"

"No wonder your teamwork is so good. You two must have a great relationship, huh?"

"Of course our relationship is great."

"I’m so jealous. My boyfriend calls me a noob and never plays with me."

Lin Xi encouraged her, "Then you should practice more and show him how good you can be."

"Easier said than done. It’s not easy to practice. There aren’t any tutorials or anything, so I can only figure it out slowly on my own."

Tutorials? That’s right. There should be a tutorial for every hero to give players some direction.

When the game ended, Bai Yueguang was the first to speak.

"I’m done playing. You guys go on." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Since Bai Yueguang was quitting, Cui Hao naturally followed suit.

Only Xue Yang and Lin Xi were left in the lobby.

"Xue Yang, should we play another?" Lin Xi asked.

"You should be studying."

"Oh. Then will you watch me study?"

"How would I do that?"

"Video call."

After leaving the game, Lin Xi immediately sent Xue Yang a video call request.

"You promised you’d watch me study."

"Alright, where are your worksheets?"

"I’ll go get them."

Xue Yang opened his laptop to review the files sent by the Trendy Apparel Company, while Lin Xi diligently worked on her worksheets.

Although they were each doing their own thing, they were in perfect, unspoken sync.

This night was destined not to be a lonely one.

「The next day.」

Xue Yang woke up on time. He opened the curtains, letting a ray of sunshine spill through the window. The rain had passed, and the sky had cleared.

He went downstairs. Outside, the previously bare trees, washed clean by the night’s rain, were now covered in tender green leaves. He looked up at a scene brimming with vitality.

He opened the driver’s side door, climbed in, and skillfully started the engine, heading for the university.

He only had one class this morning. It wasn’t Teacher Gong’s, but another general education course.

"Senior Xiao Ya."

"Junior... Xue."

"Do you have classes today?"

"No, not anymore."

As a third-year, she had hardly any classes left. It was the time when students either prepared for postgraduate entrance exams or started planning for their future careers. Then there were those who didn’t need to worry—the ones who had already been headhunted by major corporations or government agencies. They could simply enjoy the remainder of their time as students.

Of course, people like Wu Xiaoya, who started working before she even graduated, were a minority.

"In that case, come with me to Trendy Apparel."

"Okay."

Sitting in the back seat, Wu Xiaoya hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "President Xue, how do you plan to handle this situation?"

"Obviously, everyone involved will receive the punishment they deserve."

Just as they arrived at the company entrance, Xing Xing immediately rushed over to greet them.

"President Xue, you’re here."

"Yes."

"President Xue, maybe you shouldn’t come into the office today."

"Why?"

"In any case, you should probably come back in a few days."

If they don’t see President Xue for a few days, their excitement should gradually die down.
