Chapter 76 - 76: Who Knows?
During his teenage years, when He Huai was deeply engrossed in gaming, he founded Seek Club. After several years of growth, it has now risen to the ranks of the nation’s top professional esports teams. They won the KOC City Finals championship consistently and also claimed victory in the KPL Spring Finals in the past two years.
In her previous life, although Shen Wan hadn’t come into close contact with this team like she did now, she had heard countless praises through others’ accounts, such as “Young Master He of the He family, who never seemed to aspire to anything, unexpectedly made a name for himself in gaming.”
Success takes many forms, and for He Huai, his greatest achievements revolved around playing games, excelling at them, and gaining recognition in the gaming world. This set him apart from Song Lin’s dedicated pursuits, Shen Qian’s calculated strategies, and Qin Zeyan’s commitment to the family business. He had simple aspirations, which made contentment more attainable for him.
“Boss, why don’t you introduce us to your friend?” The young men lined up, all appearing slightly unkempt but still exuding the unique vigor and vitality of their age.
At this moment, they were looking at Shen Wan with curious eyes, occasionally exchanging glances or winking.
“Uh… could this be the young lady boss?” The young man who had opened the door earlier had completely shed his drowsiness, and his eyes sparkled with gossip.
He Huai awkwardly cleared his throat and glanced at Shen Wan.
The young lady just smiled without a word.
“Don’t make things up. This is my friend, Shen Wan, and she’s younger than all of you.” He then proceeded to introduce Shen Wan one by one, mentioning each person’s name and their nicknames.
“Hello.”
“Shen Wan, can 1 call you that? Your name sounds really nice! Do you play games regularly? How about Honor of Kings?”
Shen Wan nodded.
“Which hero do you prefer?”
“I can play any mage.”
“How about a round of matchmaking? We have exactly five people.”
“Sure.” Shen Wan readily agreed.
Fifteen minutes later, the enemy’s crystal was shattered. Shen Wan’s Daji secured the MVP with high damage output, racking up 12 kills, 20 assists, and zero deaths.
“Amazing, my Daji baby.”
“I recorded it. The way the little sister positioned herself was amazing!”
“Indeed, a Daji who doesn’t camp in the bushes isn’t a good player.”
“Awesome…”
Surrounded by a group of youthful faces, Shen Wan was bombarded with compliments.
Ironically, He Huai found himself isolated from the circle of excitement. At this moment, his eyes seemed ready to spill over with resentment. He didn’t bring Shen Wan here to play games with these young wolves but rather to prove that he wasn’t the idle playboy she had described.
How did things turn out like this with just a small mistake?
“Alih…”
When they left, a bunch of addicted gamers put down their phones and crowded around the door to bid farewell to Shen Wan. “Little sister, feel free to visit us anytime; Seek’s home is always open for you!”
“Even if you don’t come, it’s okay. Since we’re game friends now, we can team up anytime!”
“Goodbye-”
H 11
Sitting in the car, Shen Wan fastened her seatbelt and said, “It’s getting late; please take me back.”
He Huai replied, “Yes…”
He wished he hadn’t brought her here, wasting their time. They might have watched a movie instead and maybe even held hands.
Ugh, what a blunder!
He Huai’s sports car and Shen Qian’s business-class Mercedes arrived at the Shen family’s gate almost simultaneously. Both drivers had their car windows half-open, and their eyes met in passing. When Shen Qian recognized the familiar figure in the other car’s driver’s seat, his expression suddenly turned grim, like an endless night sky, emanating a sense of coldness and sadness.
However, Shen Wan appeared oblivious, her gaze fixed straight ahead.
“Hey! All…” The word “Qian” hadn’t even left his mouth when the black Mercedes zoomed past, leaving He Huai with a smoky rear view.
Huh!
“What’s wrong with him?” He Huai looked thoroughly perplexed.
Shen Wan’s gaze remained cool, and her voice was devoid of emotion.. “Who knows?”
