As evening approached, classmates gradually left.
There would be a roll call at seven, so there wasn't much time left for playing.
Shen Siqi and a few others had already returned to school, while Xia Nuannuan stayed behind, preparing to go to the roll call classroom together later.
"Two beauties, here is the tea you wanted."
Qin Tian carried a pot of chrysanthemum tea, which Xia Nuannuan had helped to brew, and placed it in front of the two girls waiting for their computers in the lounge area.
"Boss, your girlfriend is really pretty!"
One of the girls gestured towards Xia Nuannuan and said with a smile.
"Thank you, I think so too."
Qin Tian nodded with a smile.
The two girls exchanged glances, their faces blooming with an aunt-like smile.
"Qin Tian, we're leaving too!"
A familiar voice called out.
Qin Tian looked towards the sound and saw the Wang brothers, Wang Hao and Wang Chao, walking over quickly.
"Brother Wang, leaving already? It's still early!"
"It's not early. We're going to grab something to eat first, then head back. Do you want to join? My treat."
"No, we have roll call soon."
Qin Tian politely declined.
"Alright, maybe next time."
Wang Hao nodded, then suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh right, my aunt mentioned it to me twice before, meaning she wanted me to tell you to come up with some new designs, preferably for autumn and winter."
"I see, sure!"
Qin Tian agreed with a smile.
In fact, with his stock investments and internet cafe business doing better and better, he wasn't too concerned about the money from clothing design anymore. For the past few months, he hadn't even thought about it.
However, both Wang Hao and his aunt had been instrumental to him, so since they had said so, he would naturally try to work on it.
"We're off. Hit me up to play games when you have time!"
Wang Hao said with a chuckle.
"Okay!"
"Qin Tian, you need to be careful of Zheng Ji."
Wang Chao suddenly spoke up.
"Zheng Ji?"
Qin Tian looked at him with surprise.
"The kid who likes Lu Yaoyao. Don't tell me you can't see it!"
Wang Hao chimed in with a smile.
"Oh, him!"
Qin Tian nodded in realization.
"Their families' businesses cooperate too, and there's intent to match them up. He really likes Yaoyao and has been pursuing her for years. He must be jealous of you now."
Wang Chao said seriously.
"Got it, thanks for the reminder!"
Qin Tian thanked him with a light smile.
"If you need anything, just call me anytime."
Wang Hao made a gesture of making a phone call.
"Okay!"
"We're leaving!"
"Goodbye!"
"Goodbye, Brother Wang!"
Not far away, Xia Nuannuan also waved goodbye with a smile.
Wang Hao smiled and nodded in response, then left quickly with Wang Chao.
Afterward, seeing that it was about time, Qin Tian informed Zhao Mingyuan and Han Qian, and then took Xia Nuannuan back to school.

...
Congratulations to the host. On the opening day of Tianming Internet Cafe's branch, the cumulative number of new members reached 357, total member top-up exceeded 100,000 yuan, and total revenue exceeded 10,000 yuan. Mission complete, reward system points +3000!
Just after midnight, the good news of the system mission completion rang in his mind on time.
Three thousand points meant three thousand hours, a full 125 days of life.
Considering it was a task completed in just one day, Qin Tian was quite satisfied with the reward.
Adding the remaining 888 points, Qin Tian directly converted them all into his life countdown.
He didn't need to redeem any skills for now, so he just used them to buy time.
A total of 162 days, more than five months.
Seeing the countdown number surge, Qin Tian felt a slight relief.
Now, he didn't have to worry about this for a while.
His system points were reset to zero, but it wasn't a big deal. If he absolutely had to redeem something from the treasure pavilion, he could just pay with real money.
The dormitory lights were off, and Chen Zhuang was boasting to Cao Mingliang about his gaming achievements that day.
In his opinion, his three games as Malphite in the three 5v5 custom matches were commendable.
Compared to Cao Mingliang's useless mid-lane performance, his Malphite had many talking points.
Cao Mingliang naturally disagreed, stating that the outcome of those three games had nothing to do with either of them, so they shouldn't criticize each other.
"Bullshit. If my Malphite hadn't been at the front absorbing damage and making several amazing engages, even with Brother Tian's high damage, he could only kill one person!"
"Come on, stop bragging. I saw you miss your ultimate several times."
"That... that was intentional. Predicting the enemy's flash position, you know?"
"Is it possible the enemy didn't even have flash? You just missed a whole lot of air."
"Get lost. Our game sense is on completely different levels. I can't be bothered to argue with a bronze noob like you. Ask A Zhe, he was watching me the whole time and knows how badly I dominated them."
"Don't ask me, I was asleep!"
Zhuang Zhe's muffled voice suddenly chimed in.
Chen Zhuang: "???"
Cao Mingliang: "..."
"Brother Tian, tell me, how was my Malphite performance today?"
Chen Zhuang unwillingly shifted his target to Qin Tian.
"Not very good!"
Qin Tian said indifferently.
"What? If that's not good, and I was just Malphite, what more do you want?"
"Well, slightly better than a super minion."
"You're insulting me!"
Chen Zhuang exclaimed in exasperation.
"Hahaha..."
Cao Mingliang laughed triumphantly.
"Stop arguing, it's past midnight. Go to sleep, you have class tomorrow morning!"
Qin Tian directly ended the conversation.
After a moment of silence in the dormitory, Cao Mingliang's voice sounded again.
"Brother Tian, honestly, that Lu Yaoyao today, aren't you moved at all?"
"When you guys talk about this, I suddenly don't feel sleepy anymore."
Chen Zhuang immediately perked up.
"Moved by what? Is she prettier than Nuannuan?"
Qin Tian retorted.
"Uh... I think they both have their own charm?"
Cao Mingliang answered truthfully.
"Then your aesthetic is flawed!"
Qin Tian stated with certainty.
"I..."
Cao Mingliang was momentarily speechless, then said, "Alright, even if her looks and figure can't compare to your Xia Nuannuan, she's still a great beauty, and she's pursuing you. Don't you have any desire to have both, enjoying the blessings of multiple women?"
"Damn, you truly are a scoundrel, Cao!"
Chen Zhuang couldn't help but interject.
"No!"
Qin Tian flatly denied.
"Then you're not normal, it's too strange."
Cao Mingliang said, half-believing.
"You're the one who's not normal. Have you ever heard the saying, a man's philandering is his nature, but restraint is his responsibility? I advise you to take it easy, Cheng Ge is waiting for you on the rooftop."
Qin Tian gave a well-intentioned warning.
"Cheng Ge? Who's that?"
Cao Mingliang asked in surprise.
"I know, I know! He's a scum in an anime who eventually got killed by the yandere female lead with a kitchen knife, decapitating him."
"Holy crap, Chen Da Zhuang, shut up and stop talking. It's creepy."
"Hehehe... Do you feel a sense of identification?"
"Get lost! I can't be bothered with you anymore, I'm going to sleep."
