After making some unpleasant trouble with Qiu Li (although Xu Pianpian didn't think it was unpleasant to talk about it), she never said a word to Xu Pianpian again, and even when she met, she was stiff and deliberately avoided, and her eyes were awkwardly missed, but fortunately, she didn't stay at home for a long time, otherwise Xu Pianpian would really be uncomfortable to death.

Xue Wenkai played the stocks very well, Xu Pianpian occasionally took a look at the stock market once or twice, and the funds increased a lot, and the market of the stocks he chose has been very good. The returns of several financial products he recommended are also very gratifying. Qiu Shunjie was quite satisfied with the financial statements, and promised to give Xu Pianpian a quarterly bonus in the future. As long as Xue Wenkai doesn't contact her sourly, in fact, everything is developing in a very good direction.

For a period of time after the comic exhibition, she and Qiu Ting received invitations to other comic exhibitions one after another, Qiu Ting was not interested in playing these, Xu Pianpian was afraid that Qiu Li would be called to "talk" again, and the two tacitly refused.

During the lunch break, Xu Pianpian was lying on the bed and scrolling through Weibo, and saw a message officially pushed by "The Legend of the Ranger", which was about the Arena Masters.

Every two years, The Legend of the Ranger hosts the Arena Masters. In the first round, the top 100 teams will enter the second round of the competition, and the top 36 teams will be determined for a month-long offline competition, where the top three winners will receive generous bonuses, free points for life, and three sets of mounts with specific appearances.

"The Legend of the Ranger" has more than 10 professions, the biggest feature of the game is that the class balance is very good, although there are also top-level equipment appearance mounts that need to spend crazy money, but even if you only charge some card money every month, and no longer invest more RMB, players with sharp skills can also stand out and become the best in this server.

Therefore, the biennial Masters Tournament can attract many ordinary players to participate enthusiastically, and it is an unprecedented event in the online game industry, and many capable e-sports players can emerge in each competition, and some can even go on the professional stage in the end.

Xu Pianpian was inexplicably super excited when she saw this news, she couldn't participate herself, but she could let Qiu Ting participate. Although she has never seen Qiu Ting confront someone with real strength, with her intuition, he is definitely a potential stock, and it is not a big problem to enter at least the top 36 in the country.

Xu Pianpian hurriedly forwarded this Weibo to Qiu Ting, "You go to the Masters!"

"We?"

"I can't do it! It's just you, or those friends in your team, let's regroup people, isn't the Masters 3V3, just find a milk and an output. ”

Qiu Ting actually has little interest in the Masters of "The Legend of the Ranger". He prefers tower defense or shooting competitions, and is not very interested in multiplayer online competition, and the Masters has been held several times, and the champions, runners-up and third runners-up of the tournament are all those teams, taking turns to sit in the village and take turns to win awards and take turns to gag in each other's live broadcast rooms, with a group of loyal fans, which is not interesting. However, since Xu Pianpian proposed it, he decided to open the push and take a look patiently.

"You want me to participate?"

"Well, but you'll have to be willing to go. ”

"Why do you want me to go?"

"I think you're really, really good at playing games, and didn't you say before that you have a team in DOTA, can you still play and earn money?" ”

"That's it?"

"Well, I also like to watch you play games, it's even better to win prizes, and if you have money, you can play for free for life. Didn't you say that you always have to play games anyway? ”

Qiu Ting also thought that Xu Pianpian could say some more great and righteous reasons, such as working hard for hobbies, fighting for finding things that can become careers, and proving her strength to her family, but she didn't say anything.

In fact, Xu Pianpian didn't mean not to say it, she really didn't think about it. She often has no purpose and does something just because she is happy, so she thinks that since Qiu Ting likes to play games and plays well, it is better to participate in the competition.

This is probably the reason why Qiu Ting likes to stay with Xu Pianpian.

"Okay, I'll find a suitable milk for the next two days and sign up for fun. ”

"Wow wow!

In the evening, Qiu Ting called a few Lang Fang soldiers in the world, and found a stable output in the team, and the two of them tried it separately with a few milks, and finally settled on a sharp Fang Shi. The rest of the summer vacation, the three of them spent time in familiarity with the run-in, the arena of "The Legend of the Rangers" has a viewing mode, Xu Pianpian didn't do anything when she was free, she hung in the arena wholeheartedly to watch them play, and when she encountered wonderful moments, she also recorded them and reminisced with Qiu Ting.

"Here, here, I like you here! There is only a little bit of blood left, and the assassin who is full of blood on the opposite side is tortured, and that nurse can't release any of the skills you charge, so she can only do it in a hurry hahaha. It is estimated that he was scolded to death when he got out of the scene, hahaha. ”

"You're super handsome here, too! You can even get on the horse and jump into the air to play handsome in such a fierce situation! Aren't you afraid of getting rid of the overturned car? But it's really handsome, I want to make a GIF and save it as an emoji!"

"Hahaha, look, their dead ranger is lying on the ground frantically swearing and scolding you, I thought you were going to scold back with your free hand, but it turned out to be a whole game on someone's corpse, it's too bad for you!"

Qiu Ting didn't speak, he listened quietly, turned his head and smiled at Xu Pianpian's side face. He really hoped that this scene could be frozen at this moment, he just kept silently looking at her side face, as long as he could see her, Qiu Ting felt very happy, he felt that everything was right and good, and everything was full of power.

It's different from Aragaki Yui, Luo Tianyi and Xiao Buri. Qiu Ting felt that Xu Pianpian was far more than their existence, and he really wanted to be with her forever.

"Xu Pianpian. ”

"Huh?" she turned her head, flushed with overexcitement on her face.

Qiu Ting smiled, lowered his eyes and shook his head, "It's okay, you keep watching, we'll continue to fight when they go online later." ”

In the last week of the summer vacation, the auditions for the Masters began. Qiu Ting didn't expect the game to go so smoothly, and it may also be because the opponents they met were too rookies, they played quite smoothly a few days ago, and their rankings rose slowly. According to this momentum, the top 36 should not be a big problem, maybe you can fight for the top 16 or the top 10 or something.

Qiu Shun went home on a trip, and while Qiu Ting still had time, the whole family went out to eat Japanese food at a newly opened Japanese restaurant, Grandma Qiu didn't like to eat these, Xu Pianpian and Aunt Shen stayed at home to take care of her.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Pianpian received a call from Xue Wenkai, who said that he was on his way to Qiu's house, had just gotten off work, and wanted to talk to her about some work matters. Calculating the time when he was about to arrive, Xu Pianpian went out to find him. Xue Wenkai arrived soon, he got out of the car and handed a stack of materials to Xu Pianpian.

"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, maybe I'll be back next week, I've compiled a new information for you to see, whether to invest more money, add these new stocks, my hunch, they are pretty good." ”

"I'm tired that you've been running here in the middle of the night, and I'm bothered. ”

"No, because it's you, I'm happy to help. Seeing that Xu Pianpian was about to change his face, Xue Wenkai immediately made a stop gesture, "I'll stop, don't be unhappy." ”

"Is there anything else?"

Xue Wenkai hesitated, and said after a while, "My parents heard that you are back and want to see you." ”

Xu Pianpian was silent. Before, thanks to the care of the Xue family, Xu Wan was able to work with peace of mind, Aunt Xue and Uncle Xue liked her very much, and when the two were together, they took care of her, but they broke up later, and she never contacted them again, one felt that it was unnecessary, and the other was that she had no time. Xue Wenkai said about them, Xu Pianpian couldn't help but feel a little sad, when they were still together, Zhou Jingyu said more than once that she was super envious of her, at least she didn't have to worry about the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law when she got married in the future, after all, her mother-in-law spoiled her more than her daughter.

"I didn't mean anything else, my parents also took the initiative. If you don't want to, I'll go back and talk to them. ”

"I'll think about it again and get back to you. ”

"I'm sorry ......"

"Xue Wenkai," Xu Pianpian interrupted him, "Don't say I'm sorry anymore, let's turn the page on some things, okay? If you do this again, I really can't continue to cooperate with you!" She didn't know why she was suddenly so out of control.

She didn't know when the thorn in her heart would be completely removed.

Xue Wenkai, what the hell was I in the first place, where did you make you feel bad enough, so you would treat me like that. Now he looks like he knows he was wrong, his eyes are lowered and he is aggrieved, and every time he looks at me, he looks like he wants to cry.

"You go home. Xu Pianpian waved her hand and turned around, she felt very strange why she was crying inexplicably.

"Pianpian?" was Liang Ran's voice, Xu Pianpian was stunned for a moment, quickly raised his hand to wipe his tears, turned around, the Qiu family came back after eating Japanese food, and just went to the garage to park and came back. Except for Qiu Ting, everyone looked at Xue Wenkai with a look of vigilance and confusion.

"Mrs. Qiu, Mr. Qiu, Sister Qiuli, you are back. Xu Pianpian put on his usual professional smile, and immediately stepped forward to introduce Xue Wenkai to everyone, "This is Xue Wenkai Xue of Zong Chang Investment, the trader and consultant of the Qiu family's private property, he is in charge of many things invested here, come and send me some materials tonight." ”

"Oh, Xiao Xue, hello, hello, we all know you, a financial genius, I always say it on TV. ”

Qiu Shunjie and Liang Ran were very happy to see Xue Wenkai, and wanted to invite him to sit at home, Xue Wenkai thanked them and politely refused, and said a few more greetings, he excused himself to leave, and took a deep look at Xu Pianpian when he left.

That meaningful look was seen by Qiu Li and Qiu Ting, Xu Pianpian and Qiu Shunjie greeted each other, didn't say anything, entered the door and went upstairs to their room.

Qiu Ting saw Xu Pianpian crying, and also saw the gaffe she had towards Xue Wenkai before. He was a little pathologically jealous of Xue Wenkai, jealous that he was involved in Xu Pianpian's past, but Qiu Ting couldn't see anything, and he didn't know anything about the happy things that made Xu Pianpian sad.

He wasn't even qualified to take her into his arms. Qiu Ting's heart swelled with an inferiority complex that could not be controlled, except for the acid Xue Wenkai was an insurance seller, he actually couldn't do anything. However, the desire to stand in front of Xu Pianpian to protect her, he felt that he must be more than Xue Wenkai. He felt that he would not let Xu Pianpian cry like that.

He locked himself in his room for a long time, and suddenly he opened the door and knocked on Xu Pianpin's door. She hadn't slept yet, "What's wrong?"

“…… I—I've got something to tell you, I'll make a long story short, can I go in for a while?"

Xu Pianpian moved out of the way, let Qiu Ting in, and gently closed the door.

Qiu Ting sat down, unconsciously shaking his legs, his eyes didn't dare to look at Xu Pianpin, "I ......" I like you, do you want to consider being with me?" I ...... "I really like you." "I ...... I want to ask you, why did you come to my house to be a housekeeper?" but as soon as I opened my mouth, it became such a stupid question.

Xu Pianpian felt strange that in the middle of the night, why did Qiu Ting come to her in such a hurry to ask her this, but she didn't show doubts, thought about it, and said, "I wanted to study finance when I was studying, and I always wanted to be a good investor." But my dad forced me to learn how to be a British housekeeper. My mother died early, and when he was taking care of me, he found a business opportunity, and felt that the future high-end housekeeper would be just in demand, and learning this profession, I could better learn to take care of myself, and I would not have such a hard time when he was gone. In addition, the income of the housekeeper is very high, and it is stable, which is relatively not as troublesome as the financial industry. My dad's brain circuits are sometimes weird haha.

"At first, I was quite reluctant, but after studying for a few years, I gradually found that this major is quite good, and it is very rewarding to solve the worries of the family. Your family was introduced to me by a headhunter, and I won't tell you that your father despises me a little, and I really want to do a good job of showing him, and my classmates are very difficult to hear, saying that I just want to marry a rich man, love money, degenerate, canary or something, and I want to slap them in the face.

"Unconsciously, it's what it is today, and I still cherish and love this job. is hypocritical, but now it's just to prove yourself. ”

The fire in Qiu Ting's heart was extinguished before he entered the door. Fortunately, he didn't have a hot head to tell his true heart, he was too selfish, if he lost his job because of this, and he couldn't even continue this industry in Mdu, he would definitely blame himself. On the other hand, if you say it, Xu Pianpian actually doesn't like herself, so wouldn't the future relationship add unnecessary troubles to the other party?

It's good I didn't say it.

"Why did you come to me in the middle of the night to ask me this?" Xu Pianpian tilted her head and looked at him and smiled.

Qiu Ting also smiled and shook his head, "No, curious." He got up and prepared to leave, with his back to Xu Pianpian, "Well, I'll go back to school in a few days." ”

"I know. ”

"Hmm. ”

Qiu Ting withdrew from Xu Pianpian's bedroom and closed the door. With a long sigh, he went back to his room, leaning back on the bed and staring at the ceiling.

Anyway, it's a love that has nothing to do with Xu Pianpian.
