one
Due to excessive tension and excitement, her heart took a long time to return to a normal rhythm. Ye Xiaoling adjusted her breathing, tossed her phone back onto the bed, and forced herself to get into the best possible state, because tomorrow ... ...
It is so simple to invite her to meet and discuss in detail, and even her identity is no longer certain. It seems they are truly fully prepared!
He was clearly smiling, the curve of his smile was so gentle and elegant, yet as the distance between the two people closed, Ye Xiaoling, who had long been battle-hardened and fearless in the face of countless enemies, unexpectedly felt an unprecedented fear
God bless! This time, please do not let my imagination turn into reality
You, you, you... Weibo has already exploded! Don't you know?" The usually eloquent Anai actually stuttered, "When did you and Yuan Ye have a falling out?"
I am truly, truly sorry! After all, you are such an incredible master. Although I do not have the time, we must confirm the battle arrangements! Otherwise, what if you change your mind? I certainly do not want to miss this rare opportunity! The other party's assertiveness is enough to make one grit their teeth in frustration
Never mind, let's just record the game video first
What does she want to call so late for
Upon seeing that handsome face, Ye Xiaoling's anger surged uncontrollably, nearly reaching its peak. Recalling the exhilarating dream from last night, she first moved her joints a bit, ready to rush in and confront him. However, upon seeing her own reflection in the glass, she suddenly realized a terrifying issue
From a distance of less than twenty meters, Ye Xiaoling could clearly sense the noticeable change in his expression; his light brown eyes gradually deepened, becoming increasingly bright and captivating.
As she watched the questions from her fans on Weibo surge like a tidal wave, Ye Xiaoling continued to finalize the remaining game videos while keeping an eye on Weibo and the replies from "The Black Cat That Doesn't Eat Salted Fish." However, aside from the rapidly increasing number of comments and likes, there was no further response from the challengers.
Challenge successful
Ye Xiaoling took a deep breath in front of the screen, aiming to reach the most invincible state of selflessness in Taekwondo. However, she could not afford to make any mistakes regarding the commitments she had made to others. Gritting her teeth, she vented all her anger onto the keyboard: "What exactly do you want?"
However, just as this thought was settled, the phone in her pocket began to ring frantically. Dazed and confused, Ye Xiaoling couldn't care less about anything else; without even looking, she answered the call. Before she could even ask a question, Yuan Ye's deep voice came through from the other end of the line: "Code Master, where are you running off to?"
Ye Xiaoling was filled with confusion, yet she did not dare to slow her pace of escape. In her heart, she began to calculate with a sense of pride: even if she were truly captured, she could always claim that she was merely passing by, couldn't she
Ye Xiaoling made an effort to immerse herself in the game. Only after the final match concluded did she have the time to glance at the time in the lower right corner of the screen, pondering whether this was yet another tedious prank.
The black cat that does not eat salted fish
Poor Ling Zheng, what kind of misfortune has befallen him to encounter such a bizarre situation
8:19
"What could this be? Xiaoling, why are you acting so strangely today?" Clearly sensing an extraordinary danger, Lingzheng retreated to the safest distance with utmost vigilance.
It seemed as if countless bees were buzzing chaotically in her mind, and Ye Xiaoling's eyes were almost pressed against the screen of her phone. She repeatedly discerned the information several times, confirming that she was absolutely not dreaming
User B: How did they get together? Weren't they completely out of contact before?
How could the black cat that doesn't eat salted fish be Yuan Ye
Ye Xiaoling let out a cold laugh
This person is truly inexplicable! Clearly, it was he who initiated the challenge, so why does he keep postponing the time for the match?
In the darkness, it seemed as if a raging fire was burning on Ye Xiaoling's body, her eyes shining brightly as if illuminated by the flames. She darted around the room like a headless fly and suddenly spotted a thin business card at the corner of the table
Yuan Ye's friend Gu Nan once handed her a business card like this, didn't he? If she were to contact him via private message on Weibo, the cunning Yuan Ye would certainly not respond quickly; it would be better to go through Gu Nan instead
Ye Xiaoling exerted great effort to suppress the trembling of her hands, biting the name Yuan Ye in her mouth, almost chewing it to pieces: how dare he use such a despicable method to force her to accept the challenge? ... and even plotted against her senior brother Ling Zheng ...
At that moment, the phone on the table emitted a piercing sound, shattering the last tranquility of the night
Thus, last night, Gu Nan decided to meet her without even asking for her name
Forget it! Today she has lost! In any case, her identity must not be exposed!
Please! Her video has already been sent to her, alright? Not a second was wasted
Although Yuan Ye made such a grand gesture on Weibo to challenge her, it does not mean that Yuan Ye already knows that the true identity of the garbled text is her, Ye Xiaoling
Ye Xiaoling opened her mouth wide, trembling as she typed on the keyboard: "Then why are you so enthusiastic?"
In the dialogue box, the "black cat that doesn't eat salted fish" maintained its usual flamboyant tone, first bombarding with several guilt-ridden blushing emojis, and then, while apologizing, explained: "There was a bit of a problem on my end earlier, so I forgot to reply to you, dear Mr. Garbled Text. Once you accepted my challenge, there should be no regrets!"
Has she been completely played?
"It's nothing!" Startled by her own absurd thoughts, Ye Xiaoling quickly shook her head a few times, trying to cast those ideas far away. Yet, she couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Senior Brother... you wouldn't have known Yuan Ye from the beginning, would you?"
At the moment she turned around, she saw an extremely sharp glint in Yuan Ye's eyes, a look of assured victory. He then followed her at a steady pace, leisurely taking out his phone, as if dialing a certain number.
Stride forward! Run at full speed!
Ye Xiaoling was momentarily taken aback, then turned her head with a twisted expression. Her running speed gradually began to slow down, and indeed, she saw Yuan Ye behind her, effortlessly striding with his long legs, a smile playing on his lips, steadily walking towards her.
With the last bit of spirit, Ye Xiaoling persevered through the children's lessons. She returned to her room, her body exhausted and devoid of strength. Just as her cheeks made intimate contact with the soft pillow for less than two seconds, her gaze was drawn to the computer beside her, unable to look away.
She intends to ruthlessly expose Yuan Ye's despicable face and schemes! At the same time, she wants to keep him away from her beloved senior brother Ling Zheng
Otherwise, how could Yuan Ye so quickly lock onto the target
Ye Xiaoling buried her face in the pillow and let out another wail. She struggled to get up from the bed, her face filled with frustration as she opened her computer. Skillfully, she clicked on the icon for "Blood Battle," intending to resolve all matters in one go so that she could rest peacefully afterward. However, a flashing dialogue box popped up on the screen once again
Hello!
She will certainly not let him off so easily
So what! Ye Xiaoling shot him a sharp glance, "You can't possibly be..."
At this time, the café had not yet attracted many customers, so she almost immediately spotted Yuan Ye and Gu Nan sitting in the corner
... ...
Is it really that simple? Ye Xiaoling could hardly believe it
Of course, after seeing your Weibo, I will immediately rise to the challenge." "The black cat that doesn't eat salted fish" promptly replied with enthusiasm
All of this is a huge trap
Amidst the noisy yet indistinct voices around her, she could only hear the thunderous beating of her own heart. Her palms were similarly damp with cold sweat due to her anxiety. She vigilantly observed every expression and movement of Yuan Ye, planning to escape this place of trouble regardless of the consequences. Just as she was about to make her move, Yuan Ye, who had been smiling, suddenly glanced in her direction and then swiftly stood up from his chair
Why does everything today have to be associated with this name
"The wealthy..." Ling Zheng, who was completely at a loss, was still stroking his chin and lamenting, "The price of this Porsche is not something us commoners can afford."
There will certainly be an extremely arduous battle
If it is just a game, then it is nothing significant
After pondering for a moment, she decided to delete all the characters she had written, and cautiously asked, "So shall we start the competition now?"
Weren't you the one who posted on Weibo, 'Accept the challenge'? Since it was abrupt and lacked context, everyone assumed you were just joking. However, not long ago, Yuan Ye retweeted this post and responded, 'Challenge successful!' Anai's voice could almost be considered a roar, 'Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?'
The morning air is not as sultry as that of the afternoon, with the fragrance of flowers and grass wafting through the air, gradually clearing one's mind. Ye Xiaoling strides forward with determination, her high ponytail dancing rhythmically in the air with each step, leaving trails of brilliant light.
Her ears ached from the noise, and with a grimace, she rubbed them vigorously a few times: "What is wrong with me?"
The face of Anai slowly emerged in my mind, as if at any moment she would leap out from the other side of the computer to conduct several hours of ideological education on her
Moreover, it seemed that the atmosphere during their conversation was truly very pleasant!
Everything around seemed to transform into slow motion, Ye Xiaoling quickly withdrew her hands that were frozen on the door, first offering Yuan Ye a stiff smile, and then—
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoling took a quick step to the table and sent a text message to the number on the business card: What exactly is the matter regarding the duel? Please ask Yuan Ye for me, wouldn't this be too despicable?
Post the words "accept the challenge" on your Weibo! This signifies that our agreement has been reached
She still thought that this matter had been completely put to rest
Having casually dealt with Anai's probing questions, Ye Xiaoling eagerly opened the trending topics on Weibo. Looking at the two familiar names ranked first and second, she felt as if a scorching meteor had fallen from the sky, accurately and precisely exploding into brilliant sparks above her head
Ye Xiaoling stared blankly at her phone, as the dim light from the computer in front of her suddenly began to flicker, then blurred into a chaotic pattern, and soon the entire world started to tremble
The black cat that does not eat salted fish quickly replied: "I don't have time today"
In her dream, Ye Xiaoling joyfully swung her fists, using all the martial arts she had learned throughout her life to beat Yuan Ye into a bruised and battered state, causing him to kneel and beg for mercy. As a result, the next morning at 7:30, without the need for an alarm clock, she sprang out of bed feeling refreshed. After informing her senior brother in advance, she headed towards the Starbucks in the shopping mall
Puff puff
What does this guy want to do? Is it really necessary to make a phone call at such a critical moment
Ye Xiaoling stared blankly at this suspicious individual who had inexplicably invited her to a duel and then vanished without a trace, her heart pounding anxiously
Ye Xiaoling silently stared at the screen for a while, first typing out the words "Sorry, can the challenge be canceled?" with a flurry of keystrokes, but then her fingers paused over the "enter" key, unable to press it down no matter what.
Ye Xiaoling, you are truly an impulsive fool
Is this finally coming to an end
This person went through such a long detour, is this the kind of agreement he wanted
Upon hearing these words, Ye Xiaoling finally felt a bit relieved, yet she could not help but glance in the direction where the sports car had disappeared.
Upon hearing the name "Yuan Ye," all of Ye Xiaoling's drowsiness was completely dispelled, and her voice involuntarily rose by several decibels: "What does it have to do with Yuan Ye?"
She clenched her fists, pulling out a corner of the blanket that was filled with dense wrinkles
A bead of sweat the size of a bean slid down the corner of Ye Xiaoling's forehead, and her face instantly turned pale
Netizen A: The day has finally arrived! The two giants of the esports circle! I wonder which side is stronger?
Not long ago, she was still dizzy from the troubles caused by Yuan Ye, and now she was at a loss again due to this energetic eccentric. Ye Xiaoling only wanted to end this "absurd incident" as soon as possible, even forgetting to discuss it with Anai. She simply and decisively logged onto Weibo and quickly sent out the four words "Accept the Challenge".
It is Anai
Is he the black cat that doesn't eat salted fish
Indeed, Gu Nan's text message was replied to quickly: Do not get excited, we will meet at Starbucks in the mall tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock to discuss in detail
Hmph! Since he is capable of committing such outrageous acts, it is likely that she does not need to clarify her identity first, right
How could the person who accepts the challenge be Yuan Ye
Trending at number one: Yuan Ye vs. Garbled Text
She just wants to have a good sleep
The dialogue box was silent, no longer flickering.
Miso
Not only her Weibo, but also Yuan Ye's Weibo has been swept through as if by a bomb, with the speed of comments increasing at a visibly rapid pace, and the questions raised are largely similar.
Could it be that one was first captivated by Yuan Ye's "beauty" and then developed the thought of "seeking a wealthy partner"?
Influenced by Ling Zheng and fueled by the anger of being deceived by the challenge, Ye Xiaoling completely overlooked the seriousness of this incident—that is, her identity, which she had always been careful to conceal
Netizen C: Our family's master of garbled text is still top-notch, Yuan Ye, get ready to suffer.
The power of her heartbeat suddenly intensified, and Ye Xiaoling felt countless golden stars bouncing chaotically before her eyes, with only one voice echoing in her heart: It's over.
The dense comments instantly occupied all of Ye Xiaoling's vision. She was filled with trepidation as she saw that the top two spots on Weibo's trending list still belonged to her and Yuan Ye, maintaining an unyielding momentum. This further reminded her of Yuan Ye's series of strange actions over the past few days
Thump!
The cacophony of music disturbed the nerves of sleep, and an ominous premonition gradually rose within the heart. Ye Xiaoling's gaze slowly and hesitantly elongated, ultimately fixing on the name on the screen.
Yuan Ye leaned casually yet elegantly against a relatively concealed seat, his fresh and clean black hair distinctly falling to the side of his face, with a hint of a light and carefree smile at the corner of his lips, as he was engaged in a detailed conversation with Gu Nan.
The veins on the forehead suddenly throbbed
Ling Zheng was taken aback; this honest man, who never lies, immediately stood still like a wooden post and earnestly declared: "I don't know! How could I possibly know such a powerful and wealthy person!" While saying this, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Although I am terrible at games, how could I not have heard of his esports team?"
Then she replied: It's settled.
Ye Xiaoling, who was already standing in front of the Starbucks, carefully checked the time on her phone but did not push the door open; she merely stood in front of the transparent glass window, gazing inside
Her secret may soon be difficult to keep
Suddenly, her eyes lit up
In front of Huayuan Pavilion, Ye Xiaoling remained stiff, gazing at the red sports car that had already disappeared in the distance. Yuan Ye's gentle and handsome smile lingered before her eyes, swaying back and forth, impossible to shake off. ... And when Ye Xiaoling thought that such a smile existed for Ling Zheng...
Ye Xiaoling nervously picked up her phone, and just one second after the call connected, she heard Anai's scream, which was as destructive as a tornado: "Ye, Xiaoling—have you lost your mind?"
Is she being a bit too impulsive
On a scorching summer day, she couldn't help but shiver all over with cold
Although the response to the challenge was sent out by Lu Yan impulsively and did not reflect her true intentions, it is best not to change the terms of the battle casually
By the way ...! ... She hasn't finished the game video that she promised Anai yet
Hot search ranking second: Yuan Ye responds to the challenge
