1735 Unaccustomed to the Empty Home
It didn’t take long for the meal to end.
After lunch, Qiao Nian returned to Rhine alone.
Neither he nor Gu San was there.
The house was empty and quiet for once.
Qiao Nian put down her things and returned to her room to take a shower as soon as she arrived home. Then, she changed into a set of refreshing home clothes and went downstairs to the living room. She opened the fridge and took out a bottle of water.
Then, she casually walked to the living room sofa and sat down.
Qiao Nian found a comfortable position and put the bottle aside, then lazily grabbed her laptop and logged in.
She had just opened WeChat when a message from Qin Si popped up.
He was quite well-informed.
Qin Si was asking her a question.
[Sister Qiao, you’re back?]
Qiao Nian propped her hands up and lowered her eyes. Her dark eyelashes drooped to cover her beautiful pupils as she sat cross-legged on the sofa and typed a reply lazily.
[QN: I just arrived.]
Qiao Nian had just sent the message and had yet to open the Red Alliance’s software when, in the next second, Qin Si’s gaming team invitation was sent over.
[You came back just in time. We’re missing one person. Come and play with us! (*^▽^*)]
Qiao Nian was speechless.
She rested her chin on her hand and leaned back.
She had yet to reply to his message when Qin Si immediately sent another WeChat message.
[Sister Qiao, why haven’t you come in yet?]
[We’re short of one person. I’m just short of you.]
[Come in quickly. I’m waiting for you.]
Qiao Nian glanced at the harassing WeChat messages. After thinking for a moment, she clicked on the team link.
“Sister Qiao is here.”
She heard Qin Si’s voice in the voice chat as soon as she entered. He urged her energetically, “Zhang Yang, drive, drive. Watch me lead this round!”
Qin Si wanted to lead?
Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows and turned on the voice chat in the game, but she didn’t say anything.
The five rows were all full.
She heard a chuckle, followed by Zhang Yang’s voice. “Young Master Qin, don’t think about leading. Just play support for Miss Qiao obediently. We can still win.”
Then, a charming female voice said, “That’s right, Young Master Qin. You’d better not be the leader. If you hadn’t wanted to lead in the previous two rounds, we wouldn’t have been the first to be eliminated. Isn’t it good to lie low? I’m already prepared to lie flat and wait for God Qiao to lead us!”
Qiao Nian couldn’t remember whose voice it was at first. She only felt that it was a little familiar.
Qin Si was teased by the two. “F*ck, you guys don’t believe me?! Forget about Zhang Yang, Tang Ning. Don’t learn from him. I’ll carry you later.”
Oh, Tang Ning.
A blurry figure appeared in Qiao Nian’s mind. She roughly knew that it was one of the people who had a good relationship with Qin Si. They had eaten together before.
There was another person, but he didn’t speak much. Compared to Zhang Yang and Tang Ning, he was a little more reserved. As he spoke, he tried his best to chat with the three of them.
As Qiao Nian held her phone, she operated the mouse with one hand while the other hand logged into the Red Alliance software. Then, she leaned back and asked lazily, “Do you want to start?”
If not, she would go and check on something.
“Start!” As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Si immediately urged Zhang Yang, “Sister Qiao is already here. What are you waiting for? Start.”
Zhang Yang made preparations.
Qiao Nian played the game.
Her eyes were slightly tired as she said to Qin Si, “I’ll only play one round. I’ll leave after that. Find someone else to take my place later.”
