Chapter 266: You’re Definitely Not The Problem
After touring the most popular attractions in Magic City, Pei Ningle and Ye Xun did not feel great. Because no matter which attraction they went to, the first thing they saw was a sea of heads.
Especially Pei Ningle, whose view in the crowd was almost completely blocked; she couldn’t see anything except the passersby closest to her.
“I remember now, it’s summer vacation right now…” Ye Xun sighed, “There are too many people traveling. And Xiao Le sis, you saw it too, right? A lot of them are parents bringing their kids, families out traveling.”
Pei Ningle: “A lot of the kids are taller than me…”
Ye Xun: “Xiao Le sis, don’t be discouraged. The ones taller than you aren’t as cute as you, and there are plenty shorter than you but none as cute as you!”
While chatting idly, the taxi arrived at the doorway of that hotel. The two young girls got out of the car, walked into the hotel, and took the elevator upstairs.
In the elevator, Ye Xun suddenly realized a problem: “What is Xiao Xuan sis doing right now?”
Pei Ningle didn’t think much about it and casually said: “Didn’t she say she wasn’t feeling well and wanted to lie in bed and rest? She should still be in the room right now…”
Ye Xun gazed at Pei Ningle, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She really wanted to say that on Han Yixuan’s bed, there might not just be Han Yixuan alone, but saying it that way would be too blunt and excessive.
When they reached the floor and the elevator doors slid open to both sides, Ye Xun suddenly said: “Let’s go check on Xiao Xuan sis’s room. Maybe she hasn’t eaten yet.”
Pei Ningle nodded: “Yeah, we should check on her. We’ve just been busy playing ourselves…”
The two young girls walked to Han Yixuan’s room doorway and knocked on the door.
After a short while, the door slowly opened, revealing Han Yixuan’s slightly flushed face.
Pei Ningle immediately asked: “Xiao Xuan, have you eaten? Do you want us to pack some food for you?”
Han Yixuan shook her head slightly: “It’s fine, I ate just now.”
Pei Ningle: “How are you feeling now? On the phone, didn’t you say your head hurt and you weren’t feeling well?”
Han Yixuan smiled: “I feel much better now. No need to worry about me.”
Ye Xun looked at her complexion, then discreetly observed the inside of the room, and asked as if casually: “By the way, do you know where Wang Heng senior went, Xiao Xuan sis?”
“I don’t know, maybe he’s already back…” Han Yixuan pointed to the room door diagonally across, “Otherwise, why not knock on his door and see?”
At that moment, no need to knock—the door suddenly opened.
Wang Heng, already changed back into casual clothes, walked out. Looking at the three young girls, he said: “You’re all here. Perfect timing, I need to book airplane tickets. Let’s discuss. What time flight do you all want to take?”
“Any time is fine for me, you all decide…”
Han Yixuan said this as she closed the room door.
Then, leaning back against the door, she touched her cheek and felt it still seemed a bit hot.
Not long ago, the scene of her crying and throwing herself into Wang Heng’s arms, rubbing her tears onto his suit shirt, was still lingering in her mind and wouldn’t go away.
Although less than a minute later, Han Yixuan had forcibly recovered her composed appearance, leaving his embrace like a competent assistant and riding back with him. But without needing a mirror, Han Yixuan knew her complexion must have been extremely odd.
What did Wang Heng feel about her? Mockery? Teasing? Or smugness?
The young girl flopped onto the bed, burying her face in the pillow: “Aaaah, how so embarrassing!”

In the afternoon of the new day, after flying back to Rongdu, the four first took a car back to Pei Ningle’s apartment.
When getting out of the car, Han Yixuan invited: “Xiao Xun, join us for dinner before heading home?”
After 24 hours, the young girl’s expression had already returned to normal, without any of that uncontrollable blushing.
Ye Xun glanced at Wang Heng beside her and nodded: “Okay, so what are we eating?”
The three young girls began discussing the important question of what to eat for dinner, while Wang Heng looked at a new text from Lu Qi on his mobile phone, contemplated for a few seconds, and finally interrupted their discussion.
“Lu Qi says she wants to treat us to a meal to celebrate. What do you all think?”
“Lu Qi…” Han Yixuan softly repeated the name and fell silent.
Pei Ningle couldn’t help but ask: “What is she celebrating?”
Wang Heng: “It’s your music festival performance, about how you’ve gradually gained fame and have your own group of die-hard fans.”
Pei Ningle suddenly understood, then raised a brilliant smile: “Great then, someone treating us to a meal—free food is free food!”
Ye Xun silently sighed.
Han Yixuan slightly raised her eyebrow, controlling herself not to let the corners of her mouth turn up.
Wang Heng said it very sincerely: “Alright then, I’ll reply to her now. Let’s head upstairs first and drop off the luggage.”

The place Lu Qi chose to treat them was the seafood buffet restaurant where she had invited Wang Heng and his roommates last year.
Fresh scallops and oysters, freshly grilled steaks steaming hot, plus ice cream and beverages—these tempting calorie bombs filled the table.
At this point, Lu Qi finally brought up the main topic.
“The game I’m participating in developing has entered the internal testing stage. Starting the day after tomorrow, some internal testing quotas will be distributed. I have some right to speak in the internal testing stage and can arrange it. This game is a five-versus-five MOBA mobile game, and we have exactly five people here. Want to play together?”
As soon as Lu Qi finished speaking, Pei Ningle couldn’t help asking: “What kind of game is MOBA?”
Han Yixuan: “It’s like Dota, where each person controls a hero on a map and fights each other.”
Ye Xun stared at the older sister type across from her and asked: “But none of us play games, right? Why find us?”
Lu Qi explained: “Because this game’s positioning is for the masses. Besides game enthusiasts, to truly succeed, it needs to attract passersby who haven’t played many games before.”
Wang Heng looked at the other three girls and could tell everyone was somewhat hesitant.
The problem was obvious: participating in internal testing didn’t seem to benefit them much, and they had no particular interest in games, so why join?
Suddenly, Han Yixuan asked: “You mean, the five of us, plus Wang Heng, teaming up to play the game?”
Lu Qi smiled and nodded: “Teaming up to play together, we can play for many days…”
Han Yixuan decisively: “Okay, then I’ll participate.”
Lu Qi stared at Wang Heng and asked meaningfully: “You’ll definitely participate, right? You put a lot of effort into this game back then too.”
Before he could respond, Ye Xun quickly said: “If Xiao Xuan sis and Wang Heng senior are participating, then I’ll join too. It’s the last summer vacation of high school; playing a few days is no problem.”
Pei Ningle was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly raised her hand: “Count me in, count me in!”
Looking around at the girls’ expectant gazes, Wang Heng silently sighed.
Then he said: “Okay, no problem for me.”

Off work, grab some food then write… starving to death, writing about a seafood buffet is really asking for it.
