To be honest, Leng Qirui was afraid that his old man would say the same thing to him again—’You’d rather become the world’s number one via your nonsensical ways, and you still have the cheek to say that?’
If that was the case, Leng Qirui would have nothing else to reply.
Pa!
Leng Qirui felt sharp slaps that landed on his shoulders, and he cried out in pain.
“Good fella! Why didn’t you say so earlier? If you’ve told me about this earlier, I wouldn’t think of it in such an old-fashioned manner!”
“You think you’re not old-fashioned? You think gaming is as bad as joining a crime syndicate!” There was no reasoning in this! Although he got into fights sometimes, he was still considered a good kid!
“Well, that’s just because your primary school teacher told us! They were the ones who said that gaming isn’t honest work! When you were in primary school, you secretly skipped school and went to the cybercafe. The teacher said that a cybercafe is a place filled with good-for-nothing hooligans. If you hang out with these people all day, what’s the difference between you and a low-class gangster?”
Leng Qirui, “…”
He did not want to talk anymore.
He and his father shared no common ground on this topic.
“However, now that I know that playing games is also a sport, and it can bring glory to the country, I’ll definitely support you. Play the game well, fight your way out of the country and into the internationals, and bring glory to Camino!”
Leng Qirui, “…-_-||”
Why did this kind of new and high-end stuff feel so old-fashioned after his father spoke about it?
As his car continued on the path home, Leng Jinpeng was too troubled by Leng Qirui’s matter and decided to stay at home today.
“Let’s visit Selina tonight.”
Leng Qirui looked at Leng Jinpeng with a guarded expression. “Why are you going to her house? You’re going to ask her all sorts of questions, aren’t you?”
“You little brat! I’m your father! Why are you as wary of me as you might be of thieves? Selina saved your life today. As your father, shouldn’t I thank her?”
“Are you really just going to thank her?”
“Needless to say.”
Leng Qirui stared at Leng Jinpeng for a while before agreeing. “Alright, I’ll give her a call and see if she’s at home.”
When Leng Qirui called Selina, Leng Jinpeng’s face darkened.
Selina was definitely not an ordinary person. Nuannuan, too, carried herself with a sophistication that did not belong to someone who grew up in a farming district.
While these two shared such a close bond…
Thinking back to how Nuannuan saved Leng Qirui back then, coupled with the fact that Nuannuan’s medical skills were so good at such a young age…
Who exactly was Nuannuan?
Initially, she did not like Chi Yang much, but she suddenly accepted him.
Now, it was Selina’s turn who came to approach Leng Qirui.
Was this coincidental or intentional?
If it was intentional, what were the girls up to?
If it was intentional…
He thought of Zhong Nuannuan’s gaze and feelings for Chi Yang. For some reason, it reminded him of the way Ye Hai used to look at him and Lil Rui, and the way he salivated at Lil Rui like a poisonous snake behind his back…
Leng Jinpeng could not help but shiver.
If it was really intentional, then Zhong Nuannuan was too scary.
Yet…
He thought about how she had helped him and the way she looked at Chi Yang…
Even though there were signs that Zhong Nuannuan was not an ordinary girl, Leng Jinpeng instinctively refused to believe that she had ulterior motives for getting close to Chi Yang.
That was because the adoration and trust in her eyes were something that would be absent in those who harbored ulterior motives.
Her eyes were so bright and clear whenever Nuannuan looked at Chi Yang.
If that was not the case, Leng Jinpeng would not have willingly getting stuffed with their dog chow, and not anyone else.
