Isn’t that Hui Shi’s bestselling mobile game? And Qin Jiayan is playing it?
Gu Yusheng realized he had been too busy currying favor with Qin Zhi’ai’s mother and had forgotten about Qin Jiayan.
If I could become friendly with Qin Jiayan, I could probably obtain some details about Qin Zhi’ai’s new life through him.
But I’m too busy and don’t have the time to play games…
How can I get close to Qin Jiayan?
Gu Yusheng looked down and pondered silently for a moment before beckoning Xiaowang and whispering something in his ear. Xiaowang then handed his own phone over to Gu Yusheng and left the apartment.
Holding onto Xiaowang’s phone, Gu Yusheng downloaded the game that Qin Jiayan was playing and registered another account.
After observing others’ games for some time and getting a rough idea of the game mechanics, he immediately opened the laptop that Xiaowang had returned with and began to type away furiously on the keyboard for 20 minutes.
After installing the external application software that he had found on Xiaowang’s phone, he played a game round to test the app and fixed some small bugs via the laptop. Upon ensuring there were no further problems, he waited until Qin Jiayan had finished a round in his game before Gu Yusheng asked, “What are you playing?”
Qin Jiayan was aware that Qin Zhi’ai had some ties with Gu Yusheng back when she had been Liang Doukou’s body double, thus he had never really had a good impression of Gu Yusheng. In fact, he would have preferred not to be bothered by Gu Yusheng if it were possible but, considering he had been responsible for getting him out of trouble at school, he replied diplomatically, “Mm.”
This was the first time in Gu Yusheng’s life that he had ever been treated so coldly after initiating a conversation with someone, but he remained unphased. As Xiaowang watched him with an incredulous look on his face, Gu Yusheng said gently to Qin Jiayan, “Could you help me play my first round?”
First, it was the weird stares. Now, Gu Yusheng was smiling mysteriously and asking Qin Jiayan to guide him along in the game. Qin Jiayan’s impression of Gu Yusheng, which was already negative to begin with, continued to go downhill.
Staring at his phone and suppressing his annoyance, he took his time replying, rather reluctantly, saying simply, “Alright.”
…
After the first round of the game, without waiting for Gu Yusheng to ask, Qin Jiayan roped him onto a team and then they played a second round, a third round, and a fourth…
…
Xiaowang sat next to Gu Yusheng and watched as he slayed the enemy and handed over its head to Qin Jiayan, helping him to complete five kills. He watched as Gu Yusheng sacrificed his own life to help Qin Jiayan escape from his pursuers. He watched as Gu Yusheng helped to vigorously defend Qin Jiayan when their opponents scolded him. And he watched as Gu Yusheng praised Qin Jiayan as “great,” even though he had not killed a single enemy on his own.
Unable to bear the sight of this any further, Xiaowang covered his eyes with his hands.
Master Gu is truly… too zealous and absolutely shameless!
…
After the seventh round of their game, Qin Zhi’ai and her mother started to set the dishes on the dining table, prompting Gu Yusheng and Qin Jiayan to stop playing.
“Is the content prepared for the morning meeting at Hui Shi next week?
