Chapter 71: E-sports Club
He said he wanted to help Su Peng find a girlfriend, but in reality, An Han didn’t know many girls at all.
But this matter wasn’t really troublesome. At least, finding a girl who liked Su Peng was not troublesome at all.
During the break the next morning, right after class ended, An Han rushed into the hallway and looked at every girl leaving the classroom with a very serious, searching gaze.
A moment later, he finally spotted his target.
Lin Yi!
This girl’s favorite thing to do during break was to sit at her seat, hold her face with both hands, and stare at Su Peng with a dreamy look!
An Han trusted his observation and judgment. He immediately stepped forward. “Lin Yi, I have something to talk to you about.”
“What is it?”
She was a tall girl, almost the same height as An Han, but she was wearing low heels, so she looked about two centimeters taller than him.
Or maybe it was her high ponytail making her look taller.
An Han looked around like he was doing something sneaky, then leaned closer and whispered, “Do you want a boyfriend? What do you think about Su Peng?”
“Huh?” Lin Yi was stunned. She couldn’t understand his question right away.
“Su Peng said he wants a girlfriend, so I’m helping him set things up,” An Han explained in one sentence, then asked with a tempting smile, “So? Interested?”
“But… I already have a boyfriend…”
“???”
You already have a boyfriend, so why are you staring at Su Peng every day like a fangirl?!
An Han glared at her, but she seemed to understand the look in his eyes. She glared back angrily. “Having a boyfriend has nothing to do with looking at handsome guys!”
Well… that’s true?
If it were him, even if he had a girlfriend, it wouldn’t stop him from looking at pretty girls.
His tiny bit of anger disappeared instantly. He muttered, “Then… do you know who likes Su Peng…?”
“Don’t bother thinking about it. Almost all the girls in our class already have boyfriends. Only those few quiet, shy ones don’t.” Lin Yi crossed her arms and snorted. “Instead of asking this, why don’t you tell me where you went to get your face changed?”
So the class already thinks my recent change in appearance is because of plastic surgery?
Well… not really wrong. Plastic surgery depends on the doctor. Mine depends on the system.
An Han turned his head away, ignoring her question. He had thought this would be an easy task, but now it had become a dead end.
So annoying. Nothing has gone smoothly lately.
He wanted to lower Su Peng’s and Long Xing’s good feelings toward him, but both of them were even more tolerant of him than before.
He finally solved the problem of forming a team with Wang Sheng, but now he couldn’t find any competition Wang Sheng could join.
And now that he wanted to help Su Peng find a girlfriend, he discovered that in their third year of university, almost all the pretty and outgoing girls already had boyfriends.
As for the less attractive ones… they didn’t match Su Peng at all. At least the girl should look better than him, right?
The class bell rang right at that moment. Looking gloomy, An Han returned to sit beside his roommates, only to see Wang Sheng tapping on his phone extremely fast.
“What’s wrong? Did you argue with someone?” An Han leaned over to look at Wang Sheng’s phone screen. “Who is that?”
“The president of the E-sports Club.”
“What happened?”
“He said that after the sports day, they plan to hold a competition in early November, but… there’s no CS:GO.”
“So it really is early November?”
An Han knew the school held e-sports competitions almost every year. The exact time changed, but it was basically a tradition.
He muttered without surprise, “But isn’t that normal?”
He had looked into the school’s e-sports competitions before. They never included games with no audience. After all, the prizes came from sponsors. The club only provided manpower.
No audience means no attention, and sponsors would never agree.
Games like Wang Sheng’s CS:GO, An Han’s Dota 2, or other niche e-sports games had never appeared in the school competitions since they first started holding them.
“I’m begging him,” Wang Sheng said nervously. “If they don’t include it this time, it will be very hard for us to find another competition.”
Resting his chin on one hand, An Han casually asked, “So who is the president of the E-sports Club? Do I know him?”
“It’s Wang Yu. You don’t know?”
“???”
He stared at Wang Sheng in confusion, then turned to look at Long Xing.
“I only found out these past two days after asking Wang Sheng,” Long Xing said, scratching his head with an awkward smile. “How was I supposed to know that Wang Yu, who is our Fitness Club president, is also the president of the E-sports Club? Didn’t he tell you when you invited him to join the team?”
“He absolutely did not mention it!”
An Han gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
If he had known earlier, he would have asked Wang Yu to host a competition when he invited him to the team!
Actually, maybe Wang Yu agreed because he knew he wouldn’t have to hold a CS:GO tournament. That way he’d just get more friends to play games with at night, without needing to take part in any competition.
What clever planning! Such a schemer!
No wonder Wang Yu knew so much about organizing club competitions! So he’s used to doing it!
“When class ends, I’m going to settle this with him!”
Thinking back, when he told Wang Yu that he wanted the E-sports Club to host a competition, Wang Yu must have been laughing like crazy inside.
Seeing him so angry, Long Xing quickly tried to comfort him. “It’s okay, maybe he just forgot to tell you.”
“No! He’s laughing at me!”
“I always wondered why the Fitness Club only has a few members left! Of course, it’s because he put all his attention into the E-sports Club and didn’t manage the Fitness Club at all!”
Long Xing quietly defended Wang Yu, “Most people just can’t handle the hard training… and our equipment isn’t very professional. There’s also a real gym outside the school that charges by the hour…”
People who could handle tough training went to the paid gym outside. The rest joined the Fitness Club for the free membership, and it was natural they couldn’t stick with it.
An Han turned to look at him. “Are you saying that to insult me?”
“When did I insult you?”
“Tch!”
“Be quiet! Quiet!”
The teacher on the stage noticed their whispering and glared angrily at An Han.
An Han quickly shut his mouth and started thinking about whether it was possible to make Wang Yu host a CS:GO competition.
Last time, thanks to the system, he learned that Wang Yu responds well to soft approaches, not hard ones. He can’t resist someone who keeps pestering him. So using the same method again should work, right?
But sadly, Wang Yu’s favorability toward him was too low. If it were around 60 or 70, he would feel confident. But in reality, Wang Yu’s favorability was only around 20. They were basically just acquaintances, not even really friends.
“An Han, do you have a way?” Wang Sheng asked quietly.
An Han wanted to shake his head, but then he noticed the hopeful look in Wang Sheng’s eyes.
Is your expectation of me a bit too high?!
“I… will try to think of something?” he said, unable to refuse that hopeful gaze.
