1. The team's final match before the New Year had ended.
The bus parked outside the team base was filled with an eerie silence.
Wen Chutong had spent the whole ride fast asleep with Chu Xintong as her body pillow. Now, her face was a picture of embarrassment, bewilderment, and panic. She could hardly have looked more ridiculous if she'd had the word "absurd" written across her forehead.
Suddenly,
a cool, youthful voice broke the silence. "Sleep well?"
As he spoke, he shook out his arm, sore from staying in one position for so long, and, with a casual hint of mischief, made her even more embarrassed. "Have you decided whether you'll pay by the second, get a monthly subscription, or buy it outright?"
"Oh, right." The boy slowly stood and turned, leaning down closer to her. His gaze met hers, a rare, playful smile in his eyes. "You can count hugging my arm as a free gift with a minimum purchase. Let me know when you're flush, and I'll send you the bill."
Wen Chutong: "..."
After an excruciatingly long while, Wen Chutong finally managed to grumble, unwilling to back down, "No one charges by the second, young master. Who are you trying to fool?"
2. After the LPL Summer Split, during the MVP interview.
Chu Xintong stood lazily onstage, answering the host's questions with just a few words.
The audience eagerly waited for him to fulfill his bet with Wen Chutong: if he won the Summer Split championship, he would call her "Dad."
The boy's expression remained calm, but his eyes sharpened, and a rare softness curled at the corners of them.
He raised the microphone to his lips. "Spoiler alert: the bet has been changed. I like Wen Chutong times three."
The audience gasped in astonishment, trying to figure out whether he'd meant it.
The boy started to leave, then seemed to remember something.
He raised the microphone again and said seriously, "Important clarification: the bet is fake, but my feelings are real. You guys ask her for me, too: when is she finally going to get the hint?"
3. The LOL World Championship ended in spectacular fashion.
The NSD team members, victorious champions of the tournament, all posted on Weibo to share their joy with their fans.
The esports scene was filled with celebration, like everyone was ringing in the New Year early.
That day,
one extraordinary Weibo post stood out from the crowd and claimed the day's top trending spot.
[NSD-Wake:
The reason I like Chu Xintong, and no other.
An ADC who goes bot to leech experience, steals the cannon minion, and throws off the whole game without getting mad must have been plotting to win you over for a long time.]

Open the next copy of "Pride" and click on the author's column to receive advance notice. Shock! Bai Yueguang and Big Tail Wolf are actually from the same family. As we all know, the first two and a half minutes of actress Ji Yuxin's debut movie were based on her personal experience when she was young. After the film was released, Ji Yuxin said in an interview, "I couldn't see the boy clearly, but this experience often appears in my dreams." New Year's Eve. The whole world raises a toast to celebrate the arrival of the new year. Chi He, the well-known "real hammer king" in the industry, exposed a 37-second short video on social platforms. The last few seconds of the video. In the eyes of her fans, Ji Yuxin, who was as proud as a queen, took off her mask, grabbed the man's tie with one hand, and raised her head to kiss his thin lips. The lowered eyelids could not hide the lust in her eyes. The man only showed the side of his face. He wore cold silver gold-rimmed glasses on his tall nose and had a sharp and beautiful jaw line. With a slight smile hanging from the end of his eyes, he allowed the person in his arms to do whatever he wanted. The arms around her thin waist quietly pulled her closer, and he lowered his head to cooperate with her kiss. Suddenly, the whole network was in a state of excitement. Twenty minutes passed. Ji Yuxin updated Weibo. [Ji Yuxin: Don't knock it, it's expired. Have broken up. There was a hot comment in the comment area. [Little Xiyao]: Even though it's expired candy, I still can't help but kowtow to it. Is there really no room for redemption? One person wrote a letter in blood suggesting that he seek reconciliation. Probably because it was praised too highly, this comment was overturned by the author. [Ji Yuxin]: Reply to @: No, don't even think about it. A few months later. Li Shijun had just finished an operation that lasted nearly five hours. When he checked the information as a habit, he saw that the topic ## was ranked first on the social platform, followed by a dark red "explosion". Click on the topic to read the breaking news. Li Shijun's eyes were half closed, and the corners of his lips curled up into a sneer. The home page of the account, which has been under scrutiny by netizens for a long time and has been silent for more than half a year, has been updated with a piece of content. Noacsd7lahyuisf: @ Ji Yuxin, I'll be home in an hour, looking forward to your quibbles. The people in the melon field: "???" * Roses are born with arrogant thorns, and Jiyue is as cold as ice. In the end, they all died for each other.
Kavin has been stuck for several days, and has not been able to grind it out in the second half of the game. I have to grind it for another two days. TAT
