Hu Die Lan

Chapter 408 Ye Qiu Leaves

Chen Guo arrived with Ye Qiu, both of them sporting heads covered in paper confetti. They looked at each other, unsure what to say. Chen Guo felt bad for Su Mucheng, seeing her regretful and disappointed expression. She leaned over to examine the confetti launcher in her hand, "Can't you use it again?"

"No, it breaks after one use," Su Mucheng said.

"Let me see," Ye Qiu reached out.

Su Mucheng handed it over. Ye Qiu took it, examined it from all angles, and finally sighed, "Yeah, it's broken. Can't use it again."

"Do you even know what you're talking about?" Chen Guo snatched it away, dissatisfied with Ye Qiu's quick declaration of its demise.

"Look, here, this spot…" Ye Qiu went over to point it out to Chen Guo. "The reason she could pop out so much paper confetti at once is because she used a lot of force, which immediately broke this spot. Now, if you turn it back, it won't catch here, so it definitely can't launch again."

Chen Guo clearly hadn't expected Ye Qiu to actually provide a reason, and she savored it for a few seconds. She couldn't find the critical spot Ye Qiu was talking about, but she looked it over again, saying, "Can't we do something clever? Like, manually apply force or something?"

Ye Qiu shook his head.

For a moment, Chen Guo didn't know what to say. Holding the broken confetti launcher, she didn't know if she should give it back to Su Mucheng.

Su Mucheng herself quickly put away her disappointment and naturally took the broken confetti launcher from Chen Guo. She looked at it again before putting it back in her pocket.

"Where's Ye Xiu?" Su Mucheng then asked.

"He's still not up," Chen Guo replied.

"Just went to sleep?"

"No, he slept last night. He had a little wine yesterday," Chen Guo said.

"Drinking, huh…" Su Mucheng smiled. "He's really not good at that."

"That's right," Chen Guo also laughed.

"Really? Did he get drunk later?" Ye Qiu asked quickly.

"No, he knows when to stop drinking, unlike someone else," Chen Guo said.

Ye Qiu clearly remembered his heroic feat from last night and pretending to ignore it wasn't his style. He awkwardly coughed twice before burying himself in his computer again. At that moment, footsteps came from upstairs, and Ye Xiu's figure quickly appeared at the top of the stairs. Seeing Su Mucheng standing below, he waved hello, "You're here."

"Yeah!" Su Mucheng nodded, her hands behind her back.

"Did that guy leave?" Ye Xiu asked.

Chen Guo stepped aside, allowing Ye Xiu to see "that guy" who was being blocked by her.

"He just left," Ye Qiu said, already shutting down his computer and standing up.

"Leaving so early? Why don't we all have lunch together?" Chen Guo said.

"I can't not leave," Ye Qiu said helplessly. "If I'm any later, I'll miss dinner. I'm not like some unfilial sons."

"Well, just behave yourself at home for my sake too!" Ye Xiu said.

"Hmph! My ideal hasn't been realized yet! You better come back soon," Ye Qiu said.

Chen Guo's face was full of black lines. Was this brother still thinking about running away from home? Bringing Ye Xiu back, was it really the Ye family's intention, or was this kid trying to get his brother to watch the house so he could sneak out with peace of mind?

"I'm leaving." Ye Qiu's preparations to leave early were clearly not on a whim. His coat and other things had already been brought downstairs. After getting dressed, he politely said goodbye to the two girls, stopped them from seeing him off, and turned to leave alone. When he reached the door, he turned back and waved at Ye Xiu, "I'm leaving, you good-for-nothing brother!"

"What time does the event start?" Ye Xiu was already immersed in his work.

Looking at the face that was exactly the same as his own, but revealing a serious and focused expression that he had never seen before, Ye Qiu originally opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he only moved his lips. Finally, he didn't say anything, waved at the two girls who were looking at him, and walked out of the internet cafe.

"He left," Chen Guo said to Ye Xiu.

"I know, I heard," Ye Xiu said.

"Then you didn't react at all."

"I did, my heart is broken," Ye Xiu said.

"…" Chen Guo was speechless.

"The event doesn't start until noon! It's still early, take me to see where you live," Su Mucheng said from the side.

"Oh, okay," Ye Xiu got up.

"Ah…" Chen Guo was stunned. How good Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng's relationship was, was obvious. But she had arranged such a place for Ye Xiu to live. If Su Mucheng saw it, wouldn't she feel bad? Chen Guo didn't want to make her idol feel uncomfortable at all! But at this moment, she couldn't change anything.

Ye Xiu led Su Mucheng upstairs, and Chen Guo followed behind, feeling uneasy.

When Ye Xiu opened the small storage room and introduced it to Su Mucheng, Chen Guo even closed her eyes.

"Ah, not bad, it's really a suitable place for you."

However, Chen Guo heard Su Mucheng say this, and judging from her tone, it didn't sound like sarcasm. Chen Guo opened her eyes and looked at Su Mucheng. She didn't see any displeasure at all. At this moment, she was lying down by the small window, trying to see if she could see outside.

"You want to climb up?" Ye Xiu was also commenting on her actions.

"I wonder where you can see from here?" Su Mucheng asked.

"I can't see either!" Ye Xiu said.

"Take a look!"

"What's there to see."

"I'll see if I can see my window," Su Mucheng said.

"Oh, let me think…" Ye Xiu wasn't being perfunctory. He was quite sensitive to perspectives and distances, skills he had honed in online games. He had lived in Team Excellent Era for several years and was very familiar with it. He carefully recalled the location of Su Mucheng's room and nodded, "You can probably see it."

"Really? I'll see," Su Mucheng said.

"How are you going to see?" Ye Xiu said helplessly. Su Mucheng was clearly not tall enough.

"Let me step on you," Su Mucheng said.

"Aren't you talking to me? Boss, it's time to show your fan enthusiasm!" Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo's face was full of black lines. Even if she was a brainless fan, she wouldn't go that far!

"I'll go get a stool," Chen Guo could only do that.

Su Mucheng's little willfulness was finally accomplished with the help of a stool.

"I can really see it," Su Mucheng said, satisfied as she came down.

"Really? Where is it? Let me see too," Chen Guo's star-chasing enthusiasm came up again.

"Boss, you wouldn't, would you?" Ye Xiu said.

"What?"

"You can see it casually from your window, do you need to be so arduous?" Ye Xiu said.

"Really? Point it out to me." So the three of them went to Chen Guo's room together. By the window, Ye Xiu counted up, down, left, and right, and told Chen Guo the location.

"It feels so close," Su Mucheng said.

"Yeah, yeah!" Chen Guo said excitedly.

"Maybe we can say hello in the morning," Su Mucheng said.

"Of course, we can!" Chen Guo continued to be excited.

"Let's try it next time," Su Mucheng said.

"Okay, okay!" Chen Guo said.

"Remember the phone number, it's easier to contact," Su Mucheng took out her phone.

Chen Guo was so happy that she was about to faint. Of course, she knew that Ye Xiu definitely had Su Mucheng's contact information, but she was too embarrassed to ask for it. Now that Su Mucheng had brought it up herself, she would definitely not be polite.

"Okay, let's go downstairs first! There's no one down there anymore," Ye Xiu reminded.

"I'm a little sleepy, I'll sleep in your place for a while!" Su Mucheng said after walking out of Chen Guo's bedroom.

"Sleepy?" Ye Xiu asked strangely.

"Happy New Year!" Su Mucheng suddenly shouted, and her hands suddenly stretched out from behind her. Ye Xiu immediately dodged reflexively. Chen Guo was also surprised, thinking that Su Mucheng still had something prepared, but when she took a closer look, Su Mucheng was still holding the broken one, and this time, no paper confetti was sprayed out.

"Haha, it's already broken," Su Mucheng showed the confetti launcher to Ye Xiu. Although it was broken, the purpose of scaring had been achieved, although it wasn't as satisfying as spraying confetti, it was still half satisfactory.

"Oh?" Ye Xiu took it and looked at it. "You made this yourself again?"

"Yeah!"

"You worked on it all night, so you didn't sleep?"

"I didn't sleep much," Su Mucheng said.

"Then go sleep for a while!" Ye Xiu pushed Su Mucheng to his small storage room.

"Why don't you sleep in my place?" Chen Guo blurted out. Then she was stunned, because she had said this three times from yesterday to today. She had been rejected the first two times, and this time, she had a bad feeling.

"No need! I'll just sleep for a while," Su Mucheng declined with a smile as expected, and went straight into the room and fell onto Ye Xiu's bed.

"Wake me up when the event starts," Su Mucheng said.

"Sleep a little longer, give me your account card," Ye Xiu said.

"You're going to practice with two accounts?" Su Mucheng asked.

"No, let our Boss Chen play for you!" Ye Xiu said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! I'll do it, I also play Launcher," Chen Guo said repeatedly. Ye Xiu's idea was obviously a win-win situation. It would allow Su Mucheng to play a little longer, and Chen Guo was super willing to play Su Mucheng's account.

"Come down by yourself when you've had enough sleep," Ye Xiu said finally.

"Got it," Su Mucheng nodded.

Ye Xiu and Chen Guo then took the room door and came downstairs. The internet cafe was still decorated the same as yesterday, but the desertedness couldn't be concealed no matter what. But Chen Guo didn't care about this at all at this time. She went straight out and hung a "Closed" sign on the door, and then took Su Mucheng's "Cleansing Mist, Dancing Rain" and ran to the game impatiently, even more actively than Ye Xiu.

"Guess who I am!" When Ye Xiu saw Chen Guo log in, he sent a message out briskly.

"Guoguo?" The other party replied, but Chen Guo's message was sent to Tang Rou's Soft Mist. Although this girl wasn't at the internet cafe anymore, she seemed to be really interested in Glory.
