Chapter 68: Unexpected Meeting
He successfully dragged Wang Yu onto the “ship,” and he could even skip the system’s punishment reward~
I really am a genius!
An Han couldn’t help laughing, but Wang Yu, who was helping him walk, glanced at him with a strange expression.
“Your calf is swollen, and you can still laugh?”
Not only did he look like a girl, but his body also felt soft and delicate. When you got close, you could even smell a light, pleasant milky fragrance on him.
If Wang Yu didn’t already know that An Han lived in the boys’ dormitory on the third floor, he would definitely assume An Han was a girl.
An Han shook his head like he didn’t care at all. Then, acting all noble and righteous, he straightened his back and said,
“It’s just a small injury. You just need to help Wang Sheng in the match. If possible, bring back a championship too.”
Wang Yu still felt like he couldn’t understand this guy.
Does this mean An Han has such a good relationship with his roommate? That loyal?
“I heard your skill level is really high. Plus, with Wang Sheng and his online friend, that’s three strong players. Winning a small tournament should be easy!”
“But the problem is… there’s no tournament to play right now.” An Han’s little face collapsed again. He muttered in a small voice, “I wonder if Wang Sheng can convince the e-sports club president to host a CSGO contest.”
Wang Yu commented expressionlessly, “You guys probably have no idea how troublesome it is to organize a tournament.”
“Is it that troublesome?”
“You need to apply for a venue, prepare publicity, find sponsors, set up a stage… you can’t finish all that in under a month.”
“You know so much…”
Hearing all that made An Han’s head hurt. His brows tightened a little on their own, and his face was full of frustration and worry.
My PS5 is already so close… but it feels like the hardest part is just finding a tournament I can join.
His +2 charm attribute and “favorability trait” made every expression of his naturally attractive. Any man seeing him would feel like a pink filter had been added in front of their eyes. But Wang Yu didn’t react at all.
After spending so long in fitness, Wang Yu found women without abs or muscles unattractive, let alone a weak, pretty-faced man.
It simply didn’t match his “liking.”
When they arrived at the school clinic on the first floor of the teaching building, An Han was placed on the bench outside.
“The doctor is off work.”
“Well, it’s already evening… I’m hungry.”
Wang Yu turned to look at An Han, who was holding his stomach with both hands and pouting as he complained.
“There’s a phone number on the door. I’ll call and ask. If you’re hungry, just endure it.”
“With how straight you are, you don’t have a girlfriend, right?”
“I do.” He paused for a moment, then spoke in a calm, humble-brag tone, “On average, three each semester.”
An Han muttered enviously, “You’re a top-tier scumbag.”
“They were the ones being scummy. I just don’t turn anyone away.”
“Wow, ‘don’t turn anyone away’!”
This level of sarcasm wasn’t enough to make Wang Yu react at all.
Footsteps came from the end of the hallway. Both of them turned to look, and saw Ren Chi holding a briefcase, noticing the two of them from afar.
Ren Chi clearly didn’t expect to meet An Han here. He quickened his steps, walked over, and asked with concern.
“What happened to you this time?”
“My calf got caught in a door…”
“As long as it wasn’t your head stuck in the door.” Ren Chi joked as he rubbed An Han’s head.
“……”
“And you are?”
Wang Yu casually introduced himself, “I’m An Han’s club president.”
“I don’t think you’re in my class?” Ren Chi asked, thinking he meant dorm leader.
“Club president.”
Ren Chi nodded in understanding. Then he smiled and reminded An Han.
“In a few days the school leaders will check the dorms. Make your bed properly these two days, clean up the trash, and hide any banned items somewhere. Especially your electric cooker and… your clothes.”
“Okay.”
“And the sports meet, you can sign up now. Have you decided what event you want?”
An Han looked up at him, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He grabbed onto Ren Chi’s sleeve and called sweetly, “Brother Ren~”
Seeing those bright, shiny eyes and that pitiful look, Ren Chi didn’t hesitate to shake his head.
“Changed your mind? No chance.”
He had noticed that An Han was getting better at using that harmless, cute face to ask for favors.
Too bad he wasn’t affected by it.
“No, I want you to help organize a game tournament at school!”
“What?” Ren Chi was stunned. The topic jumped too suddenly.
After thinking a bit, An Han decided that Ren Chi was close enough in age, so he told him everything about Wang Sheng’s situation.
If it were some older teachers in their forties or fifties who only saw e-sports as “playing games,” he would definitely keep his mouth shut and never ask for help.
Ren Chi took a moment to digest everything, then replied with a headache.
“But I don’t handle this kind of thing.”
“If you help, it’ll be much easier than us doing it ourselves, right?”
“…Fine.” With a helpless sigh, he rubbed An Han’s head again.
He was starting to treat An Han more and more like a mischievous little sister from the neighborhood.
“Is the clinic teacher still not here?” Ren Chi turned to ask Wang Yu. “Did you call?”
“I called. He’s busy and told us to wait.”
“Let’s just go to a clinic outside the school.”
Ren Chi squatted down and rolled up An Han’s pant leg to check the injury.
It was the same left leg he sprained earlier, and now the calf had a clear red swollen patch. The pain kept pressing on his tear glands. He tried to hold back, but his eyes still turned red, making him look very pitiful.
“How did you get this hurt again?”
“He did it!” An Han instantly pointed at the culprit.
Wang Yu didn’t bother explaining. He just crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.
After studying the injury, Ren Chi concluded, “It’s not too bad. The bone should be fine. Can you walk on your own?”
“Barely.”
“Alright, get on.”
Ren Chi sighed and turned around, squatting down.
After last time, An Han didn’t hesitate at all. He threw himself onto Ren Chi’s back with full force, almost knocking Ren Chi to his knees.
Holding onto An Han’s thighs to stabilize him, Ren Chi turned to Wang Yu.
“You go back first. I’ll take care of him.”
“Go go!” An Han waved from Ren Chi’s back. “Don’t forget to find Wang Sheng and check in. Remember, you guys promised to play the match together.”
An Han preferred being around someone easygoing like Ren Chi. Wang Yu was a bit too cold, and being with him always felt stressful.
“I know.”
Ren Chi smiled at him and carried him toward the school gate, still complaining.
“School’s been crazy busy lately. Meetings every day. And tomorrow I still have to hold a class meeting for you guys.”
“A class meeting?”
An Han peeked over Ren Chi’s shoulder and rested his chin there.
“To encourage you all to sign up for the sports meet. Students nowadays don’t like exercising, so we need a whole meeting just to motivate you.”
“Who wants to do something with no benefits…”
“First place gets five hundred yuan.”
Ren Chi turned his head with a smile, only to suddenly notice how close that soft, fair skin was. Startled, he quickly looked forward again.
“Then I’ll sign up for the short-distance race! I’m confident in that!”
Wang Yu looked at the two figures walking away.
It was clearly a peaceful scene of a teacher carrying a student. But in his mind, he unconsciously imagined them as siblings.
Or… a couple?
