for Advance Chapter
After the banquet had been going on for a while, lyrical music began to play in the hall, and pairs of handsome men and beautiful women came to the dance floor in the middle and started ballroom dancing.
The position in the center of the dance floor was naturally reserved for the two protagonists of today's banquet, Zhao Qingshi and Qi Hemei.
Through the layers of people, I could clearly see Qi Hemei hugging Zhao Qingshi's slender waist. I didn't know if it was because they both had received good dance education, or because they had danced together countless times, but their match was perfect.
Surrounded by Qi Hemei, Zhao Qingshi danced lightly, her waist swaying gracefully, and her sexy and graceful figure made the dance extremely attractive. I was watching from the sidelines and felt that Zhao Qingshi was like an elf walking out of a dream, and her every frown and smile seemed particularly charming.
An Zhishui also took Li Luyou's hand and walked to the dance floor. This eldest daughter from a top wealthy family had been trained in various social dances since childhood, while Li Luyou's dance steps seemed a little immature. Fortunately, he was very talented and danced well under An Zhishui's guidance.
But when I looked closely at An Zhishui's expression, I could see that when she made some intense movements, her dark eyebrows would slightly wrinkle, which made people feel distressed, and her dance steps would become a little awkward. I guess it was because An Zhishui had just lost her virginity last night, so it seemed that Li Luyou played quite aggressively last night.
Ning Yingxue also walked up to Luo Suohun and said in a pleading tone, "Suohun, let's go dance too."
Ning Yingxue came from an ordinary family. If it weren't for Luo Suohun, she would have had no chance to attend this banquet. Seeing other couples dancing on the dance floor, she seemed eager to try it as well.
"No, it's boring." Luo Suohun didn't even raise his head, but just held his mobile phone and played some game.
Ning Yingxue pleaded in a coquettish tone, "Go ahead, it won't take up too much of your time."
Ning Yingxue, such a sexy beauty, posed in a half-bent posture. To be honest, I was very moved watching her, especially because her clothes were tighter, outlining her enchanting curves more perfectly. Her full breasts were like two towering peaks, and the deep ravine wrapped in jeans between her two round and perky buttocks was particularly tempting. Her whole body exuded a soul-stirring temptation.
Luo Suohui didn't reply. Ning Yingxue waited for a moment, but seemed unwilling to give up. She grabbed Luo Suohui's right hand and gently swung it, "Just dance for a while. Pause the game first and continue playing later."
If there was such a beauty standing next to me, begging me in a coquettish voice, I'm afraid my bones would become weak.
But Luo Suohui was a guy who didn't understand romance. When his girlfriend Ning Yingxue asked him to dance, he was not only unmoved, but scolded her, "What are you doing? Don't touch my hand. You made me die again."
"It's over, it's all your fault. We're going to be wiped out by the enemy." Luo Suohun shouted anxiously.
Ning Yingxue had no choice but to timidly let go of Luo Suohun's hand and sat back in her seat. She turned her head and looked at Luo Suohun unwillingly. Luo Suohun was still playing games and didn't even look at her.
Ning Yingxue opened her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she chose not to speak. Instead, she looked at the center of the dance floor alone, with a somewhat lonely look in her eyes.
It seems that Luo Suohun has no intention of ending the game in the short term. I can only sigh silently in my heart that he really doesn't know how to appreciate his blessings. He has such a beautiful girlfriend like Ning Yingxue, but he doesn't know how to cherish her.
God is so unfair. If Ning Yingxue was my girlfriend, even if I didn't know how to dance at all, as long as Ning Yingxue wanted to go, I would accompany her without hesitation. Even if I could only twist my body awkwardly on the dance floor like a stupid duck and be laughed at by everyone, I would not back down at all.
Luo Suohun returned to the game with full concentration, leaving only Ning Yingxue and I sitting on the sidelines, talking to each other in silence. The atmosphere was inevitably a little awkward for a moment.
They couldn't just sit there and wait until Li Luyou and An Zhishui came back from dancing.
I moved my chair closer to Ning Yingxue and said, "Actually, you could try playing the games that Luo Suohui usually plays. Maybe you two will have a common hobby."
"I want to, too."
Ning Yingxue turned her head to glance at Luo Suohui, then gave me a bitter yet sincere smile and said, "I mentioned this to Luo Suohui, and he took me to play a few games. But as you know, girls are not born with a natural talent for games, so when I first started, my performance was naturally terrible. Well, I always lose when I'm with him, and then Luo Suohui refused to play games with me no matter what, so I had to give up on playing alone."
"We have nothing to do anyway, so why don't I play a few games with you?" I asked tentatively.
Although it was just a game, Ning Yingxue was his good brother's girlfriend after all. It would seem like he was trying to steal her, and it would be too embarrassing if he was rejected.
"Okay." Ning Yingxue agreed readily.
Hearing Ning Yingxue's agreement, I felt relieved and took out my phone and said, "The game Luo Suohui is playing is called Honor of Kings. You should know it."
"I know. I still have this game installed on my phone." Ning Yingxue took out her phone and said with a bitter face, as if she had thought of something again, "But I'm really not good at it. If I get you into trouble later, you can't scold me."
I couldn't help laughing and said, "You think too much. How could I possibly scold you?"
Girls who play games are a rarity these days. Being able to bring a girl along is a plus, especially when it comes to a beauty like Ning Yingxue, a school beauty. Besides, it's just a game. Even if Ning Yingxue is terrible, losing isn't a big deal. You'd have to be crazy to curse her out.
"That's good." Ning Yingxue took out her phone, opened the game, and asked, "What position do you usually like to play?"
I was going to say "Sagittarius," but the words were on the tip of my tongue, so I swallowed them back. While Ning Yingxue might not have the wrong idea, telling a pretty girl that I liked Sagittarius felt like I was talking about some traditional skill that all boys were good at.
"As for me, I can play any position. Why don't you choose first, Xue'er?" After I said that, I invited Ning Yingxue to the game. Since we have been friends on WeChat for a long time, this saved some trouble.
"I want to play Yu Ji. I think this character is very beautiful. Is it okay?" Ning Yingxue asked.
"Of course you can." I said, "Xue'er, you can play whatever you want. You don't need to ask for my permission."
"You're still as kind as ever." Ning Yingxue selected Yu Ji in the game interface and said, "When Luo Suohui and I play Honor of Kings, he always asks me to play support, saying that I can help him. But every time I follow him, as soon as I leave the defensive tower, I'm quickly killed by others. Then he blames me for not protecting him well."
"Well, I'll play support this time and protect you."
I looked at the hero list and started to choose from it. I was originally thinking about which support would be the most suitable to match Yu Ji. Somehow, when I saw the hero Xiang Yu, I tapped it with my finger.
Concerned that Ning Yingxue might misunderstand due to her lack of understanding of the game, I explained, "Xiang Yu isn't just a hero who can play in the confrontation lane; he's also very commonly used as a support."
As soon as I finished saying this, I regretted it very much. This deliberate explanation seemed to make the matter even more obvious.
As everyone knows, Xiang Yu and Yu Ji were a couple in history, and the same is true in Honor of Kings. Ning Yingxue is Luo Suohun's girlfriend. It is already a bit inappropriate for me to play games with her, and I am playing a pair of couple heroes. Isn't this too much?
I carefully turned my head to look at Ning Yingxue, and sure enough, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
"Chen Xiao."
"Um."
"Or... you should switch to another hero." Ning Yingxue bit her lip and whispered, "I'm worried that if Luo Suohun sees the records in the future, he might misunderstand something, and it would be difficult to explain."
"Yeah, that's my fault. I didn't think it through." I nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
I suddenly felt like a clown. It was all good stuff, playing a few games with Ning Yingxue to kill time and waiting for Li Luyou and An Zhishui to come back from the dance floor, as if nothing had happened.
But I just wasn't satisfied and had this little thought in my mind. What were Ning Yingxue and I? Although we had a good relationship before, she is now Luo Suohun's girlfriend. The one who plays couple heroes with her should be Luo Suohun.
Look, how beautiful Yu Ji is in the game, and how sexy her figure is. The dark green long skirt wraps around her round hips, and her two slender and plump legs are fully revealed. Her full breasts exude a charming temptation, like a peach that will burst into juice with a light pinch.
Look at Xiang Yu again, he is tall and mighty, covered in armor, as if he is the reincarnation of the historical overlord who is strong enough to lift a tripod.
This is a match made in heaven. I suddenly realized that Ning Yingxue and Yu Ji are really similar. They both have big eyes and long hair.
If Yu Ji is the incarnation of Ning Yingxue, then what about me?
"I'll play Lao Niu." My mood became even more depressed, and I chose a hero that was almost the ugliest in Honor of Kings.
"This minotaur looks so weird." Ning Yingxue complained.
"Yeah, it looks weird, but I think this hero suits me." I said casually, too lazy to correct Ning Yingxue's slip of the tongue. The name of this hero should be Bull Demon King, not Minotaur.
He is obviously a great support hero. He doesn't even need to do anything. Just by relying on his passive skills, he can stand next to the person he wants to protect and bring a great sense of security to the other person.
However, because the master behind the game didn't give him a good-looking appearance, he is disliked by almost all female players. Isn't this the most perfect interpretation of people like me?
When the game started, I was surprised to find that Ning Yingxue played quite well. We actually won the first game. Although the situation was unfavorable at one point, with my key flash ultimate, in the last team battle, Yu Ji wiped out the opponent and successfully shattered the opponent's crystal.
"Great, this is my first time to get MVP." Ning Yingxue raised the corners of her mouth with a gentle smile. Winning the game obviously made her feel much happier.
"This is what you deserve. If it weren't for you, we would have lost." I also said with a smile.
"Chen Xiao, you should be the MVP. It's mainly because you play the Tauren so well. Without your protection, I wouldn't dare to walk out of the defense tower." Ning Yingxue said.
Hearing Ning Yingxue's praise, I quickly shook my head: "No way, I didn't do anything. It's all thanks to you, Yu Ji, Xue'er."
Ning Yingxue chuckled: "Why are you so modest? It's just that you, the Minotaur, are too powerful. You've saved the day many times."
Wait, this chat feels a bit weird. Why does he always talk about you, the minotaur?
The Minotaur probably refers to a person whose woman is occupied by other men. As a single man, I don't even have a girlfriend, so how can I be qualified to be a Minotaur?
Then we played another game. Ning Yingxue performed better in this game. The previous game could be said to be won by luck, but this game was won entirely by strength. Ning Yingxue's Yu Ji was invincible, and I, the auxiliary, only needed to follow behind her and provide assists.
With a loud bang, the crystal on the opposite side exploded again.
"Yeah." Ning Yingxue couldn't help but cheer loudly. Fortunately, there was dance music playing around, so she didn't attract other people's attention.
Ning Yingxue turned her head and looked at me, her beautiful eyes filled with excitement, like a little girl jumping for joy after receiving candy. At that moment, I even felt that Ning Yingxue seemed to have the urge to jump up and kiss me.
"I haven't been this happy in a long time." Ning Yingxue calmed down a little, but her tone still couldn't hide the joy.
"Are you rarely happy?" I asked. Actually, I could sense that Ning Yingxue always seemed to be burdened with worries, as if a huge rock weighed down her heart, preventing her from being happy about the little things in life like other girls.
"Not really." Ning Yingxue suppressed her smile and looked down at her toes: "I just don't know what to do next."
I looked at Ning Yingxue and could clearly feel that her mood was starting to become low again, and there seemed to be a haze spreading in her heart.
If possible, I really want to hold Ning Yingxue in my arms, put my hands close to her hair, and smell the fragrance of her hair. This is not because of my desire for her, I just simply want to give this girl a warm hug.
But I can't, we are just ordinary friends. The boy who can openly give her a warm hug is not far away, furious because he lost another game.
Ning Yingxue raised her head again and said, "Honestly, I was really worried at first. If I didn't play well and got you into trouble, even if you didn't say it out loud, you would definitely curse me in your heart."
I smiled frankly and said, "Absolutely not. Xue'er, it's my honor that you can play games with me. I'm so happy that I can't even say anything. How could I possibly scold you? Besides, Xue'er, you're such a beautiful girl. Which boy would be willing to scold you?"
"Luo Suohun once scolded me, saying that I was as stupid as a pig when playing games." Ning Yingxue pouted.
I was speechless for a moment. I didn't expect that Luo Suohun had actually scolded Ning Yingxue. I didn't know how to comfort Ning Yingxue for a moment.
In order to please her boyfriend, a girl took the initiative to learn how to play games. Not only was she not praised, but she was instead scolded by her boyfriend as being as stupid as a pig.
I don't know how Ning Yingxue felt when she heard this.
Is it anger?
Still sad?
Or is it panic?
But no matter what, all of this stems from her own choices. Even though Luo Suohun has many faults and cannot escape blame, Ning Yingxue always has one choice, which is to leave.
She is unwilling to leave no matter what, she is really as stupid as a pig!
