High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 61: I Will Definitely Come Back for You!

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: I Will Definitely Come Back for You!

Bai Qing’s smile froze.

She saw Li Yang, a warrior hero, equipped with mage gear, take down the entire enemy team of five without losing any health.

Then, without bothering with the minion wave, he went straight for the turret.

The turret hit him, but his health didn’t drop at all.

The main thing was, he didn’t even need the minion wave, and his tower-breaking speed was still very fast.

As the clock neared 20 minutes, Bai Qing hurriedly typed in the public chat: "As soon as it hits 20 minutes, surrender immediately, as quickly as possible! If we lose, I’ll give each of you another thousand!"

Someone immediately replied: "No worries, rich lady. My hand speed from being single for decades is amazing. If I’m over a second, I won’t take a penny!"

"Rich lady, do you need a doorkeeper? I’m not good at anything except barking like a dog!"

...

Bai Qing didn’t care about those things, keeping her mouse over the bottom right of the screen the entire time.

The enemy hadn’t respawned yet, and Li Yang was already pushing the inhibitor tower.

There were only six seconds left until the 20-minute mark.

But... Li Yang was taking down an inhibitor tower in just over two seconds.

When 20 minutes hit, only one big crystal was left.

"Hurry up and surrender!"

Four surrender votes appeared in unison, successful.

But... surrendering doesn’t settle instantly; there’s a two-second delay.

We saw our own crystal about to explode, and then the game screen suddenly switched quickly to the enemy’s crystal.

Victory!

Are the opponents pigs? Why can’t they even hold out for a second!

Losing a nine-to-one match?

In ten games, fully calculating, that’s only about three hours, an average of eighteen minutes per game, including queuing and selection phase.

Bai Qing’s mentality crumbled, and she yelled, "You’re so amazing; why don’t you go pro? Bullying me, what’s the point?"

Li Yang said, "Going pro doesn’t earn money."

That thing really doesn’t pay well; besides, he’s okay with rank matches, but in competitions?

Even if he could learn to be a pro, become a decent pro player, how much could he earn? The contract traps are numerous, and he might have to sign a binding contract.

Many gaming teams offer voided wages, similar to streamer contracts.

For example, a big streamer signing a three-year contract worth a billion, but actually only receiving twenty million over three years, with the other eighty million converted into popularity, gifts, promotion, operations, etc.

Bai Qing didn’t really want him to go pro, she was just unwilling to lose like this.

"It doesn’t count; we clearly lost the last round because of the system!"

It was indeed a system issue, because after surrender, the crystal explosion is slow, with about a one-second delay, while directly destroying the crystal causes it to explode instantly.

Li Yang said, "How about another match?"

Bai Qing: "..."

What’s the point of another match? Li Yang is prepared now and will likely start with a fast-push mode.

"Why did you lie to me before?" Bai Qing found a reason.

"We weren’t familiar back then, and besides, winning doesn’t benefit me. I need to focus on studying, not a few inconsequential games."

"Am I inconsequential?"

Li Yang frowned and said, "If you want, I’ll play another match with you, if you don’t want to, ten consecutive wins are in the game records, let’s call it done."

"Am I that annoying?"

"Are you done yet? Which do you choose? If you don’t choose, I’ll assume it’s over."

What are you playing at, a drama?

Besides bragging, what else can you do?

If bragging could work on him, that’d be fine, but it doesn’t.

So you want to play others, but they don’t want to play with you, and it’s still their fault?

Not far away, Wu Tianqi shuddered, incredulously looking back this way.

What constitution does Li Yang have to dare confront an advanced player like this?

Bai Qing looked at Li Yang, who had a serious expression, realizing the situation was entirely irreparable.

She shouldn’t have held back on the first day.

If she’d known Li Yang met her tastes so well, she would have waited for him to wake up that day.

"Then walk me downstairs..."

"No problem."

Li Yang saved what he’d written before, and then locked the computer screen.

Bai Qing stood up and waited for Li Yang for a moment.

When Li Yang got up, she smiled and took his arm, and they went downstairs together.

Leaving the internet cafe, they saw Bai Qing’s Ferrari parked at the entrance.

Even if Li Yang was seeing this car for the first time, who else could it belong to besides Bai Qing?

Standing by the roadside, Bai Qing suddenly said, "Can you sing that song you wrote for me?"

Li Yang pointed at the car and said, "You get in first, and then I’ll sing."

"Okay."

She got in the car and rolled down the window.

Li Yang said next to her, "I wrote the lyrics based on some foreign music, you can have them, but you’ll need to sort out the song rights yourself."

"Mhm."

Bai Qing had already composed several tunes for those lyrics, but she always felt something was off.

While she was pondering this, the song had already started playing in her ear.

Even though it was a cappella, even in a vast open space.

"Along this journey, walking and stopping, following the traces of youth drifting..."

"At the moment of stepping out of the station, there was actually some hesitation..."

"Couldn’t help but smile..."

...

Li Yang’s voice was very pure, a pureness that instantly immersed Bai Qing into the scene depicted by the lyrics.

Even though with her professional ear, she could hear many flaws, she couldn’t deny that the song pained her heart.

It hurt quite a bit.

It was only when Li Yang sang it that she realized how moving the song’s message was.

The boy with his hands in his pockets, gazing at the stars, was right beside her.

She only had two hobbies, music as a profession, and gaming as a lifestyle.

While abroad, she was mostly a homebody because the international students around her were always having wild parties, and she couldn’t click with any of them.

Besides going to class, she’d return to her place and spend most of her time playing games.

Due to the environment and her own restless nature, she had perfected the art of being bold and flirty, honing her skills by sparring with others online.

Whether in or out of the country, she had met quite a few guys, all of whom were talented, good-looking, and well-off, many even far surpassing her.

But she struggled to resonate with any of them.

Initially, she didn’t like Li Yang much, just found him interesting, good-looking, and a handsome eighteen-year-old.

Even before coming down from the internet café, she only felt slightly regretful that she had missed connecting with a handsome guy who shared some resonance with her.

But now, her regret turned into heartache.

When her dad passed away, she was only sad for a few days while abroad, because she had long been prepared for it, as her father had always said this day would come and didn’t even want her to return.

She abruptly started the car, surged forward, not wanting Li Yang to see her tears.

Li Yang inhaled a mouthful of exhaust and hurried to the entrance of the internet café.

Damn!

But the exhaust wasn’t as unpleasant as it seemed; it even smelled a bit nice? It was like he always enjoyed sniffing truck exhaust as a kid... It’s very authentic...

Finally having settled things with Bai Qing, he didn’t want to waste time talking with this calculative woman.

Wasn’t Xue Ning more appealing?

What’s the point of all this going around in circles?

Not far away, Wang Manqi, with a few girlfriends, saw Li Yang standing in front of the internet café, a cigarette dangling from his lips, searching his pockets.

Wang Manqi approached and asked, "Can’t find your lighter? Add me back on QQ, and I’ll give you one."

As she spoke, she took out a lighter.

Li Yang held the cigarette in his hand, smiled at Wang Manqi, and said, "It was you who wanted to delete me, what does that have to do with me?"

"Then just hold it in! Don’t think you’re something special just because you’re hanging out with Jiang Banxia. She doesn’t need you to support her studies; you won’t even get into Qingbei without an invitation."

"So what?"

Wang Manqi said, "Jiang Banxia won’t stay up all night with you; she won’t always have a lighter ready for you."

Li Yang was all too familiar with this tone.

Although, in his memories, this was only triggered after the college entrance exam scores were released, did it get activated early this time?

Just as he was about to respond, suddenly, a car stopped in front of him.

The next second, Bai Qing jumped out of the car, rushed to Li Yang, and hugged him tightly.

Wang Manqi stood frozen beside them.

A girl from a Ferrari.

And she was both prettier and of better stature than her.

The next second, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded; the girl proactively kissed Li Yang, seemingly crying while kissing him.

When they finally pulled apart, a minute had already passed.

The girl took the cigarette from Li Yang’s hand, put it in his mouth, then took out her lighter.

With a ’click’, the flame ignited.

Li Yang took a drag.

This damned moment was my first kiss!

Bai Qing giggled, released Li Yang, then took a few steps back and opened the car door.

After getting in, she poked her head out and smiled at Li Yang, saying, "Honey, I’ll definitely come back for you!"
