Chapter 549: Chapter 293 Another side is a live broadcast room with tens of thousands of people, secretly kissing_2
“It’s nothing.”
“Oh.”
Lin Wanzhou also started to realize the situation, the two hadn’t seen each other for a month. Now it was just a man and a woman alone in a room, and thinking about how he seemed somewhat smitten just now, she couldn’t help but feel her face getting hot.
“I… I’ll open a window, it’s a bit stuffy.”
Xu Qingyan, after all, wasn’t really a pervert; he just zoned out for a moment before returning to normal. Letting go of his luggage, he looked around and took the initiative to say,
“I’ll help you clean up. It’ll probably take you a long time to do it alone after just flying back.”
...
To this, Lin Wanzhou did not refuse, as she couldn’t handle it by herself.
“Alright, then I’ll trouble you.”
Actually, there wasn’t much to tidy up in the house, just dusting and mopping. There was no need to call a cleaner for that, Xu Qingyan rolled up his sleeves and mopped the place from the inside out.
The apartment had three bedrooms and a living room, which was spacious enough for Qi Ting and Lin Wanzhou. He didn’t go into Qi Ting’s room, only mopping the living room, kitchen, study, and Lin Wanzhou’s room.
It wasn’t Xu Qingyan’s first time in Lin Wanzhou’s room. The pink curtains fluttered slightly. Through the bright windows, the sky outside was clear and cloudless.
Signs of late spring and the onset of summer were already here, and it seemed like it would slowly start to get warmer.
As he stood leaning on the mop in the young girl’s room, Lin Wanzhou came in with a small basin of water and a rag. Seeing Xu Qingyan staring out at the sky in a daze, she couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile.
“What are you thinking about?”
“Time flies so fast; summer is almost here.”
“Yeah, the sky used to be bluer back in Qinghe.” Lin Wanzhou put down the basin, “I even planted watermelons by the door; they grew so beautifully.”
“The reservoir is not bad either, though it’s a bit scary at night. Did you know that a few people once…” As soon as Xu Qingyan started talking, he would digress.
“I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want to hear it!” Lin Wanzhou’s face turned pale, and she ran off after throwing down her rag, eliciting a hearty laugh from Xu Qingyan.
Qi Ting wouldn’t be coming back tonight so it would just be Lin Wanzhou alone. If she really listened to a scary story, she might have trouble sleeping.
However, Xu Qingyan hadn’t actually intended to continue with the story. He was just teasing her. If she was really scared at night, he could drive over and keep her company for the evening.
After all, they didn’t live far from each other, and travelling back and forth was convenient. The pair had the buff of being childhood sweethearts, so nobody thought it odd. It would be strange if they weren’t close.
After the cleaning, they rested on the sofa together.
At first, they made idle chatter, with the balcony door wide open. As they talked, Lin Wanzhou began to feel sleepy and went to her room to sleep.
Xu Qingyan went to the study, which housed two computer desks. One beside the window belonged to Qi Ting, who would sometimes bring unfinished work home.
The other side was Lin Wanzhou’s computer, which she didn’t use for work during her rest time. Although she used it occasionally to watch movies, she had bought a high-spec machine.
This was convenient for Xu Qingyan since it was an entertainment computer good enough for any kind of gaming. He had nothing to do that afternoon, and if Qi Ting had been there, he might have gone to his studio to work.
This time, it was just Lin Wanzhou who had come back alone. Xu Qingyan worried that if the young girl woke up to an empty house, she wouldn’t be used to it. So, he decided to stay and play games until she woke up, then he’d leave.
He expected Lin Wanzhou to rest for at most three days after her return: rest today, go out tomorrow, and meet with Wen Yun and Qi Ting the day after that, followed by work.
The predominant theme of young people’s lives was work, and everyone else was no different.
There was nothing particularly romantic about it; once you found a direction, you simply had to follow it. It wouldn’t be practical to set aside time explicitly for dating; that would be too insecure.
He had downloaded a game before, logged in, and started playing straight away.
During the character selection phase, his teammates were getting agitated.
[Damn, who told you to play Centaur support, believe it or not, I’ll hang your horse up and beat it!]
[Looks like there’s a streamer on the other side, someone told me.]
[No way, a streamer in this kind of match?]

On the Yunmeng live broadcasting platform, the LOL streamer Di Shitian was streaming his gameplay. He casually picked a Maokai, glanced at the opposing lineup without much regard,
“Jayce top, make sure to come gank, let’s crush the other side.”
Music played in the live streaming room, and Di Shitian hummed along while responding to the comments in the chat. As the match began, the number of viewers in the stream slowly increased.
As soon as Di Shitian went online and was wandering near the river, he was unexpectedly harassed by Xu Qingyan’s Jayce and had to retreat in disarray.
“Damn it, how dare he! This… Xu’s Spring and Autumn 666, you’re done for!”
In the live stream chat, some people started to catch on and sent messages about it.
“Xu’s Spring and Autumn? That ID sounds familiar. Isn’t that Brother Xu’s online handle?”
“What’s familiar? Who is that? A new streamer?”
Messages flew across the screen. Some people continued unrelated conversations, while others focused on the game. They started to explain until someone threw out, “the one who sang ‘Blue and White Porcelain’.”
When “Blue and White Porcelain” came up, several viewers in the streaming room instantly understood.
“No way, how would a singer have time to play games?”
“It’s probably just someone with the same name, like a fan or something. Besides, there are a lot of people who would pick a name like ‘Spring and Autumn’; I thought about changing mine to something like that too.”
Before they could finish, the streamer swore.
He was practically being oppressed in lane, not having farmed a single minion. Jayce on the opposite side was levels seven or eight, while he was still spinning under the tower, and before he knew it, he had given up first blood.
Only then did he have a chance to look at the chat, and after reading for a while, he, too, was stunned.
“The guy on the other side is Xu Qingyan, for real? Let’s ask.”
The keyboard clattered loudly. Xu Qingyan saw the red chat message and casually replied,
