"Yao Yao, let's go. Why stay here when he's treating you like this?" Zheng Ji urged her furiously.
Lu Yaoyao ignored him, turning to look at Qin Tian. "Qin Tian, are you doing this on purpose?" she blurted out.
"What?" Qin Tian feigned confusion.
"You're doing it on purpose, aren't you? You want me to hate you and give up on you?" Lu Yaoyao questioned him sternly.
Qin Tian shrugged noncommittally.
Seeing this, the surrounding crowd suddenly understood, and couldn't help but inwardly admire Qin Tian's devotion and deep affection for Xia Nuannuan. Anyone with a normal sexual orientation would feel intense pride and satisfaction when such a top beauty pursued them, and it was rare for them not to be moved. Even if they couldn't accept her because they already had a girlfriend, they wouldn't usually try to cut off this romantic interest as decisively as Qin Tian.
Zheng Ji watched all this, his fists clenched. The rage in his eyes as he glared at Qin Tian seemed to burn like fire. He didn't feel grateful that Qin Tian was trying to reject Lu Yaoyao; instead, he felt even more annoyed and resentful. The woman he had been pursuing for so long in vain, Qin Tian could dismiss with such disdain. Why? His youthful impulsiveness, coupled with the spoiled disposition cultivated by his affluent family background, made him unable to tolerate any of this.
Of course, in the current situation, he certainly couldn't act rashly. Not only had he witnessed Qin Tian's formidable fighting skills and knew he couldn't possibly win in a fight, but Lu Yaoyao already didn't think highly of him. Acting rashly would only make her dislike him more. Furthermore, Qin Tian seemed to have a good relationship with Wang Hao and even had a business partnership with the aunt of the Wang brothers. If he wanted to do anything to Qin Tian, he would have to plan it carefully.
"Then you've really miscalculated," Lu Yaoyao suddenly smiled and said, "I actually quite enjoy playing games, and boys who play games well only make me feel more favorable towards them."
Qin Tian was taken aback. This didn't make sense! He still remembered seeing a news report online before his rebirth about a female streamer from a certain kimchi country who was targeted by the enemy jungler, Renekton, in this game and had a mental breakdown, crying uncontrollably. Even if Lu Yaoyao's mentality was better than that streamer's, this outcome shouldn't have been the opposite, right? Director Qin felt like this script had opened in entirely the wrong way!
The people around looked at each other, dumbfounded.
"It's a bit pathetic to have been killed so many times, but now that I've calmed down and thought about it, I suddenly feel that the way your Renekton lunged at me from all directions was really handsome!" As she said this, Lu Yaoyao winked flirtatiously at him with a charming smile.
Qin Tian looked at her with utter bewilderment, completely speechless. Xia Nuannuan beside him was also completely stunned.
"I had a lot of fun today. I'm heading back now. Let's play again sometime." Lu Yaoyao stood up, smiling charmingly. "I've already noted your in-game nickname. I'll add you as a friend when I get back, so remember to accept. You've killed me so many times, you can't be that stingy, can you? Won't even give me a game friend request, right?"
Qin Tian remained silent. Lu Yaoyao didn't say anything more, gave Xia Nuannuan a meaningful smile, and then strode away. Zheng Ji and a few others got up and followed her.
"Brother, are you leaving?" Wang Chao asked his cousin.
"We've only played three rounds. Since we're here, I'll play a few more ranked games," Wang Hao replied with a chuckle.
"Then I'm not leaving either. Want to duo queue?"
"Sure, but don't feed me!"
"Don't worry, I'm very stable in the top lane!"
"Nuannuan, we can't be careless. The enemy is very powerful this time!" Shen Siqi watched Lu Yaoyao's receding figure, nudged Xia Nuannuan with her elbow, and reminded her with a solemn expression. Xia Nuannuan nodded slightly, agreeing with her words.
"Tian Ge, it seems that having too much charm isn't always a good thing!" Cao Ze turned to Qin Tian and teased him with a laugh.
"Get lost!" Qin Tian glared at him annoyedly, then said to Xia Nuannuan on the other side, "You guys play, I'm going to help with some work."
"Okay, okay!" Xia Nuannuan nodded obediently. As Qin Tian made to get up and leave, Xia Nuannuan grabbed his hand, and then kissed him on the lips.
"Wow!" Shen Siqi exclaimed, her eyes shining. Behind them, the classmates, after being taken aback, let out a wave of booing.
"The reward from just now!" Xia Nuannuan explained with a blushing face, then let go of his hand.
"Okay!" Qin Tian happily patted her head and strode towards the cash register.
"Oh, Nuannuan, you're getting better and better at this!" Shen Siqi teased with a beaming smile.
"What are you talking about? Are you playing or not?" Xia Nuannuan pretended to be calm and forcefully changed the subject.
"Playing dumb, huh?"
"If you don't play, I'll go solo queue!"
"I'll play, invite me, invite me."

...
The three matches with Lu Yaoyao and her group had livened up the atmosphere in the internet café. As a League of Legends themed internet café, and with the previous Tianming Cup gaming competition, most of the customers who came to Tianming Internet Café were already hooked on the game. Although these three matches weren't of the highest skill level, they were very watchable. Especially the revenge matches in the second and third rounds, the reasons for which spread throughout the internet café. Customers who watched these two rounds exclaimed their enjoyment.
Of course, Qin Tian's relentless targeting and assassination plays with Renekton also made many players admire him, and they began to develop an interest in the hero. It wasn't uncommon for some to confidently start a game, pick Renekton immediately, and then naturally end up feeding their teammates, receiving kind greetings from their teammates in the chat.
By 2 PM, Qin Tian paid for takeout for the Wang brothers, Wang Hao and Wang Chao, as well as his classmates. Not only did he cover their internet access for free, but he also provided food and drinks. The classmates, while feasting, exclaimed how generous Boss Qin was, feeling that the trip was well worth it and that they would definitely be invited again if such good things happened.
As the afternoon progressed, the internet café became more crowded, and even all the seats were filled, with many customers having to queue at the cash register. For the waiting customers, Zhao Mingyuan had, following Qin Tian's suggestion, set up a waiting area opposite the cash register. It had comfortable sofas for customers to relax and play on their phones, and the internet café also provided free sunflower seeds, biscuits, and tea.
There were also many new and returning customers opening memberships and topping up their accounts. Qin Tian, as the hands-off boss, played a significant role for the first time. Given his good looks and temperament, as long as a female customer came in, he could make them willingly spend money to open a membership with just a few words, and the top-up amounts were not small. For these wealthy women, it was worth spending this money just to catch a glimpse of the young and handsome boss.
