Chapter 20 Part 1
“......not as good as you.” She said.
Xu Jimo was unsuccessful in stifling his laughter.
It was the first time he laughed today, actually it was the first for the last few days.
He couldn’t help wanting to hear more words of comfort from her, “Am I that good?”
Qianxi bashfully lowered her head, “Not as of late.”
She lightly tapped the ground a couple of times.
Aiya! Why did she have to sound so rueful! She immediately straightened up, put her hands behind her back, and cleared her throat, “Actually it’s not that bad. You’re like this when I first met you. I’m just not used to it since I haven’t seen you in a while.”
She couldn’t stop herself from nosing around, “I am disturbing you guys too much? Interfering with your training?”
She had seen how exhausted they looked after the match. She felt for them, for the hard work they put in.
Xu Jimo didn’t respond, instead he beckoned her over, “Come here.”
Qianxi hesitated, her past experience when he asked hadn’t been the best.
As that thought crossed her mind, her body was already moving towards him. “What?”
Suddenly she was close enough to feel his body heat. He had placed his chin onto her shoulder imparting some weight. “I wasn’t doing it on purpose.”
“En…....?”
“All my energy was focused on the compet.i.tion. I forgot to bring you the late night meal and get my watch back from you. I just forgot everything else.” His breathing was getting heavier. The warmth of his breath seemed to cook her ears. “Qianxi, we’ll talk after the compet.i.tion, en?”
“......” Qianxi felt that her heart was no longer hers anymore. The rhythm felt so strange to her; it was beating so fast as if it was trying to burst out and run to the other person.
Xu Jimo slight straightened up when she didn’t respond for a long while and looked into her eyes to confirm, “En?”
“......yeah, sure.” It didn’t sound like her voice either.
She spoke without thinking.
That night, Qianxi had difficulty falling asleep. The picture of Xu Jimo hugging her without asking for permission drifted at the surface of her brain and it wasn’t just one moment…...she recalled one moment after another.
Actually, they had been in close contact so many times…...and each time, she didn’t refuse it.
Wow.
We’ll talk…...what did that mean?
Qianxi nervously kneaded her pillow: Did it mean that he likes her if he wanted to talk with her?
Did it mean that he has to wait till after the compet.i.tion to take care of his personal feelings……?
She felt like she was going crazy……
What was this! Why couldn’t he just say it straight out, rather than keep her in such suspense?
When would the compet.i.tion finish…...if they lost a match then they would finish the compet.i.tion earlier? But she couldn’t possibly pray for the compet.i.tion to finish early. She didn’t want him to lose any matches.
She didn’t want him to lose.
She couldn’t ask him directly.
He already told her he was putting all his energy into the compet.i.tion…...it would be a bother if she kept asking questions.
Awwwww!
She counted the days till the finals, it was more than half a month away. What if they really made it to the finals? She would go insane in that time!
It was impossible for her to fall asleep tonight. She opened her cell phone and decided to talk to her friends back home.
Which friend?
Amy, Mumu, Youzi…...she scrolled through her contact list and finally found the friend who first introduced her to the game.
A gamer like her should understand how Qianxi was feeling now……?
Qianxi sent a greeting alpaca over.
It was daytime back in China, said friend had just awoken and replied quickly, “Aiyo, isn’t our princess Qianxi in Seattle? What happened? Is it too lonely that you have to think about your friends?”
“Lonely! Get real!”
“Hahahahaha, I thought you would have a new boyfriend every day over there!”
Qianxi sent over an alpaca with its head filled with black vertical lines, “You’re becoming corrupted! I’m here working while vacationing, I’m not promiscuous.”
“Someone as rich as you needs to work? Don’t make me laugh.”
“It’s true, believe it or not.”
Qianxi sent another message, “Aren’t you playing ? Are you watching the compet.i.tion? Look closely in the live broadcast, you’ll find me there.”
“Dang, you went to Seattle for that? Didn’t you dislike that game?”
“It’s a long story…...Anyway, I’m here as a translator. I’ve come here to stay away from my parents.”
“You’re really……” Giving up the rich life to be a rebellious teenager, well, she had the money to do whatever she wanted.
The friend, after processing these unspoken thoughts, suddenly discovered there was something wrong here, “Hey, it’s midnight over there and you aren’t sleeping so you can discuss the game with me?”
“......,” Qianxi didn’t know what to say.
The friend sounded even more suspicious. “En~?”
“Hmph.”
“Tell me, tell me.”
