When they returned, the villa lights were still on. Lin Chen sat on the sofa, and Su Xiaoyan leaned against him.
Lin Chen scrolled through his phone out of boredom, while Su Xiaoyan was almost asleep.
Chu Zihang entered quietly, startling Su Xiaoyan awake.
"Son, you're back!" Su Xiaoyan exclaimed happily. "Tell Mom how the interview went!"
Chu Zihang obediently sat down: "The interview went very well, Professor Schneider is a very nice person! I will be entering the preparatory class afterward."
"My son is amazing!" Su Xiaoyan ruffled Chu Zihang's hair. "He's almost a college student now!"
Chu Zihang suddenly felt a pang of emotion: "Senior Lin Chen, you've all been waiting for me! Mom, you haven't slept either!"
Lin Chen and Su Xiaoyan exchanged a glance, and Su Xiaoyan gave Lin Chen a disgruntled look.
Su Xiaoyan said, "I was planning to take a nap, but I couldn't fall asleep."
Lin Chen added, "I haven't been waiting for your news all this time."
Chu Zihang was deeply moved, but he couldn't say many of his thoughts.
Lin Chen stood up: "It's getting late. Now that Chu Zihang is back, I'll take my leave!"
Su Xiaoyan stood up and said, "It's already so late, why are we going back?"
Chu Zihang also felt something was amiss: "Yeah, senior, it's already so late, and there are guest rooms at home. It's not safe to drive back so late!"
Seeing that the host was so insistent on keeping him, Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony and immediately checked into the villa's guest room.
Chu Zihang had just passed the entrance interview and was still full of curiosity about Kassel College, so he went to Lin Chen's room and asked a lot of questions.
In the end, Su Xiaoyan came over and said that it was so late and we shouldn't disturb the guests' sleep.
Chu Zihang thought about it and agreed. He quickly apologized and returned to his room.
Once the light in Chu Zihang's room went out, Su Xiaoyan slipped into Lin Chen's guest room.
Lin Chen chuckled: "So you drove Chu Zihang away just so you could come here yourself!"
Su Xiaoyan obediently lay down: "He's still growing, he can't stay up late anymore! Sometimes my girlfriends and I play until late at night, and life is just beginning at this hour!"
"You and your girlfriends play this too?"
"Ugh, we just drink, go shopping, and play mahjong! They were all my sisters from my dance troupe back then, and now they're all rich wives. Their husbands are busy with work, so we just get together to hang out."
"That sounds interesting. Try to get me involved sometime!"
Su Xiaoyan looked at Lin Chen with a strange expression: "My sisters are no pushovers either, aren't you afraid they'll eat you alive?"
"It's still uncertain who will eat whom!"
"Okay, then let's have a competition!"
……
Ever since Chu Zihang enrolled in the preparatory class, his days have become increasingly busy.
Lin Chen often went to visit Su Xiaoyan.
This wasn't Lin Chen being playful; he was genuinely trying to complete the academy's mission.
As required by the academy, Lin Chen needed to get to know Su Xiaoyan better and find out information about Chu Tianjiao and Chu Zihang.
Lin Chen did a pretty good job in this regard.
During the rest of the time, Lin Chen also discovered some new and interesting things.
That is playing video games.
These days, games are developing rapidly, and StarCraft is a popular game in internet cafes in this city.
Lin Chen already liked this game quite a bit, and he happened to have learned the game's mastery skills from Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei wasn't exactly a good student, and playing games in internet cafes was a regular occurrence for her.
After learning that Lin Chen also liked StarCraft, Lu Mingfei took the initiative to invite Lin Chen to play online together.
At first, Lin Chen only played against him online, until he discovered that this guy's StarCraft skills were really good.
That day, Lu Mingfei took the initiative to message Lin Chen, asking if he would like to go to an internet cafe together.
Typing on a laptop at home is convenient, but playing games still requires an internet cafe to create the right atmosphere.
Having nothing else to do, Lin Chen agreed to Lu Mingfei's request.
So after school at Shilan Middle School, Lu Mingfei jumped up and started packing her schoolbag.
Seeing Lu Mingfei's haste, a classmate teased her, "Lu Mingfei, are you rushing to be reincarnated?"
Lu Mingfei laughed excitedly, "Let's go to the internet cafe and play StarCraft!"
A large group of boys gathered around; they were all StarCraft enthusiasts.
Lu Mingfei may not be good at anything else, but he's pretty good at video games. Thanks to his StarCraft skills, he has more friends in class.
Once the topic turned to games, the students couldn't stop talking, chattering away in a lively discussion.
When Lu Mingfei spoke, her eyes kept glancing at Chen Wenwen in the front row.
He wasn't very noticeable in class, but talking about games was one of his rare moments of glory.
Many classmates surrounded him, and he wanted Chen Wenwen to notice him at this moment.
But Chen Wenwen just kept her head down reading; she wasn't interested in the game at all, nor was she interested in Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei was a little discouraged.
He wanted to talk to Chen Wenwen, but he didn't know what to say.
A student nearby called out to Lu Mingfei, "Lu Mingfei, I'm free today too, let's play together, I'll cover the internet and nutritional drinks!"
Normally, Lu Mingfei would have agreed, but today she had made an appointment.
"I have plans, let's just leave it at that!"
"Who is it? They even made plans to meet you in advance!"
Lu Mingfei chuckled: "He's a senior student, and he's amazing at StarCraft. I'm playing with him today!"
The students then dispersed, but Chen Wenwen, who was in front, perked up her ears.
He knew Lu Mingfei well; he was just an ordinary loser who rarely had the chance to interact with his seniors.
Except for Lin Chen.
That was because Lu Mingfei got to know the senior through her connections; Chen Wenwen had also heard that Lu Mingfei played this game before.
So Chen Wenwen turned around and asked, "Lin Chen, are you going to the internet cafe?"
"Yes!" Lu Mingfei nodded. Chen Wenwen taking the initiative to talk to him made him very happy. "Guess who I'm playing with? Senior Lin Chen!"
Chen Wenwen's heart skipped a beat: "I'll go with you!"
Lu Mingfei's eyes widened, and a hint of fear flashed in her gaze.
"Really...really?" Lu Mingfei asked excitedly and nervously. "Do you know how to play this game? Do you want me to teach you...?"
"No need." Chen Wenwen brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "I've never seen it before, I want to go and see!"
"Okay, okay, let's go now!" Lu Mingfei immediately picked up her schoolbag. "I'll lead the way!"
On the way, Lu Mingfei was extremely excited. It felt great to have a girl by her side, and Lu Mingfei felt inexplicably happy.
He talked to Chen Wenwen about how to play StarCraft the whole way, and Chen Wenwen listened attentively.
Chen Wenwen didn't like playing games; she only listened to these things to have something in common with Lin Chen.
But Lu Mingfei was overjoyed. Seeing that Chen Wenwen was listening attentively, he explained even more enthusiastically.
Lin Chen hadn't arrived at the internet cafe yet.
Lu Mingfei turned on the computer for herself and Chen Wenwen, and immediately said that she would play a game with Chen Wenwen first.
Chen Wenwen thought it would be good to learn more about it, maybe she could even keep Lin Chen company in the future.
The internet cafe was mostly frequented by male gamers, so the appearance of a girl like Chen Wenwen caused quite a stir.
Lu Mingfei is good at StarCraft and is quite a celebrity in internet cafes.
Many people came over to greet Lu Mingfei, and when they saw Chen Wenwen next to Lu Mingfei, they gave Lu Mingfei a thumbs up.
"Great job, Lu Mingfei, bringing a girl along today!"
"Not bad, girl! I didn't realize Lu Mingfei had this skill!"
"I have high hopes for you, Mingfei. You know how to enjoy playing games with girls!"
"This girl is so beautiful! Lu Mingfei, you're so lucky!"
"..."
Being able to play with girls in an internet cafe is definitely an honor, and Lu Mingfei's face turned bright red with excitement.
In her excitement, Lu Mingfei felt even more determined to fight well.
So Lu Mingfei explained while utterly ruthlessly killing Chen Wenwen.
Within ten minutes, Lu Mingfei destroyed Chen Wenwen's base and continued to explain in a boastful manner: "Actually, in that situation just now, you had no chance of winning. In the game, in order not to waste time, you can directly say 'gg,' which means to admit defeat."
