Chapter 416 A Turn of Fortune, Peach Blossoms in Full Bloom
When Wen Tingye arrived, Ning Yao was sitting in a chair, her head drooping limply.
All the anxiety, worry, and anxiety vanished the moment they saw Ning Yao.
He Yu watched helplessly as Wen Tingye transformed from a block of ice that kept strangers at bay into a pool of tender, gentle spring water.
A pair of men's leather shoes came into Ning Yao's view. She suddenly realized what was happening and looked up. Sure enough, Wen Tingye was already standing in front of her, still carrying a faint, lingering chill, like dry ice emitting an invisible aura.
"You're here." Ning Yao stood up abruptly from her chair like a student who had done something wrong and saw her teacher.
"Finished the examination?" Wen Tingye took two steps to Ning Yao's side, his warm hand naturally grasping Ning Yao's slender white arm, pulling her to turn left and right, his eyes scanning up and down, examining her external injuries.
"Okay, the results will be out in two hours," Ning Yao replied.
Upon noticing the gauze bandage on Ning Yao's skin, Wen Tingye's eyes suddenly turned cold. He then pulled her into his arms, led her into the nearby lounge, and closed the door behind him.
Cui Mengmeng and Guan Ying were used to this. Guan Ying continued to stand guard outside the lounge, still with a cold expression, as if she wanted strangers to stay away, like a gatekeeper.
When Cui Mengmeng saw He Yu, she greeted him with a smile, then felt a little embarrassed when she remembered the phone call she hadn't made.
Seeing that He Yu was covered in sweat, Cui Mengmeng quickly took out tissues from her small bag and handed them to him with both hands.
"Thank you," He Yu said in a gentle voice, his impression of Cui Mengmeng improving even further.
This girl looks chubby and even a little clumsy, but she is actually very thoughtful and caring.
"Sit down and rest for a while, I'll go buy you a bottle of water," Cui Mengmeng said, turning and heading towards the vending machine.
She genuinely felt sorry for He Yu, because working alongside someone like President Wen would be incredibly stressful, and most people couldn't handle it.
He Yu opened his mouth, but before he could say anything to refuse, Cui Mengmeng had already turned and walked out.
Her steps were quick and steady, and the panda-shaped handbag on her side swayed back and forth, attracting a lot of attention.
Cui Mengmeng quickly bought five bottles of water according to the number of people, and also bought several popular soft drinks.
Despite her small stature, Cui Mengmeng looked somewhat strained as she carried a large bag of drinks, with both arms hanging down at her sides and her hands supporting the bag.
He Yu saw Cui Mengmeng struggling to walk towards him carrying a large bag from afar, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
The little panda trotted back to the outside of the lounge, and He Yu stepped forward to take the bag from her hand, teasing her with a smile.
"You were just going to buy a bottle of water, why did you bring the whole vending machine?"
"I don't know what Mr. Wen likes to drink. I've tried all of these drinks, and they're all pretty good. Some are mild, some are sweet, some are sour, and some are bitter. What would you like to drink? I can recommend some to you." Cui Mengmeng showed He Yu her drink bag.
"I'll just have some water, thank you." He Yu thanked Cui Mengmeng again and took a bottle of mineral water out of the bag.
Seeing that He Yu had taken it, Cui Mengmeng took out a bottle of chilled strawberry milk and handed it to Guan Ying. She opened a bottle of sweet and sour sparkling water and took a big sip with relish.
Cui Mengmeng glanced at the tightly closed door of the lounge, then quietly took out her phone and opened Glory Peak.
Based on her experience, once Yao Yao went into the room with President Wen, she would definitely not be able to come out for at least an hour.
Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well play a few games to pass the time. It's more interesting than dozing off.
Even though Cui Mengmeng turned the volume down very low, Guan Ying still heard the notification sound indicating that the game had started.
Cui Mengmeng sat in the chair, looked up at Guan Ying, and whispered, "Would you like to play a couple of rounds together?"
Seeing Guan Ying hesitate, Cui Mengmeng added, "Entertainment Bureau, very soon."
Guan Ying was already itching to use her phone, and after Cui Mengmeng's encouragement, she immediately pulled out her phone and coldly uttered two words: "Coming."
He Yu sat upright in his chair, listening to Cui Mengmeng and Guan Ying talk about playing a game, specifically the one he knew, Glory of Kings, and he became interested as well.
"Count me in," He Yu said with a smile, taking out his phone.
He recently practiced Glory of Kings with Premier Wen, and he has a few heroes he can play well, so he's itching to show off his skills.
Cui Mengmeng and Guan Ying both looked at the assistant, who seemed harmless just by looking at him, and were both surprised.
This guy looks like the kind of weak scholar who would be engrossed in books in the library; fighting games don't seem to suit him at all.
They might have considered it, but He Yu was, after all, President Wen's assistant, someone close to him, so they couldn't refuse.
The three quickly logged on, entered a room, selected the Dream Brawl game mode, and started matchmaking.
Cui Mengmeng used diamond coins to randomly select several heroes, but in the end, she got Lian Po instead.
Looking at the burly man on her phone screen, Cui Mengmeng pouted, frowned, and frantically tapped the button to switch heroes with her fingertips.
When I tried to switch again, I found that I didn't have enough diamond coins, and the switch failed.
Cui Mengmeng glanced at the heroes Guan Ying and He Yu randomly selected. As expected, Guan Ying got Kai, while He Yu got her favorite mid-lane hero, Xiao Qiao.
"What's wrong?" He Yu noticed that Cui Mengmeng was staring at him, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Can I trade you a hero? How about Lian Po for Xiao Qiao?" Cui Mengmeng asked, her tone pleading.
“Okay.” He Yu readily agreed. He wasn’t very familiar with mid-lane heroes, but he was quite comfortable using Lian Po.
Cui Mengmeng was overjoyed to get her favorite hero, and she was eager to enter the game and crush the opponents.
Guan Ying had little presence; she basically stayed hidden in the bushes, waiting for people the whole time.
She has always been a cautious person, preferring to observe the opposing player's playstyle first, figure it out, and then find an opening before launching a full-scale attack.
At this moment, Cui Mengmeng had already used up her skills, and the enemy players were basically all low on health. Unfortunately, the damage was not enough, and the skill cooldowns were not over, so she was unable to finish off those low-health players.
At this moment, a burly figure with low health emerged and flashed into the middle of the crowd.
"Assistant He, you're low on blood. Rushing out like this could easily kill you." No sooner had Cui Mengmeng finished speaking than a shocking scene appeared on her phone screen.
He Yu used a combo of three, two, and one to take down all the enemy players, and the screen started broadcasting one kill, two kills, until the final team wipe and five kills.
"Wow, you're amazing!" Cui Mengmeng exclaimed sincerely, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
After He Yu used Lian Po to finish off the enemy player with low health, Cui Mengmeng suddenly felt that this unassuming top lane hero was actually quite cool.
He Yu rarely received such direct praise from a girl, and his face flushed slightly, though he could only manage a faint smile.
"You were the one who decimated the enemy's health bar first; I just benefited from your success."
Most boys would think it's because they did a good job and it has nothing to do with others, but He Yu wasn't so arrogant.
Hearing He Yu's humility and how she attributed all the credit to her, Cui Mengmeng's impression of He Yu improved even more.
At this moment, Kai, who had been crouching in the grass, suddenly moved, and the game character's body instantly turned in a different direction.
It turned out that Guan Ying, who was standing coldly to the side, was jealous of the mutual flattery between He Yu and Cui Mengmeng, and her fingers twitched involuntarily as she rubbed the screen.
Guan Ying glanced indifferently at the couple sitting in the chair, narrowed her eyes, and felt a sudden surge of emotion.
Is it some kind of lucky break, a time of blossoming romance?
