Chapter 87: Playground (Part 2/2)
Since Luo Nan didn’t really play that much with these people, Chen Xiaolan, who was none other than the person Mo Cheng was addressing as Chenchen, wasn’t that familiar with Luo Nan. She paused when she suddenly saw this unfamiliar face during the introductions. Luckily, this mont of awkwardness in broad daylight was able to conceal Chen Xiaolin’s unnatural behavior.
Mo Qiu’s ample experience with society allowed him to save the show again this ti. "What do you think? Our fifth uncle’s family’s Nanster has changed since going to Acun College, right? People really do grow at Acun College. Xiaolin, you didn’t give this much pressure the last ti we t."
Mo Qiu’s self-mockery and sarcasm were very appropriate and beneficial. It alleviated the awkwardness and everyone laughed.
However, so parts of it were a bit off and it was here where Mo Han slyly mocked, "It should be that the school curses people. They all just ca from the hospital after all..."
Chen Xiaolan was a character that could match the guys in this male-dominated gaming clan in every manner. She was not just for show. She imdiately patted Luo Nan on the shoulder and said, "So it’s Nanster all along. I didn’t even recognize you just now. It seems like we haven’t played together that much. You must have just enrolled into the school. Chen Xiaolin is a grade higher than you. Let her look after you in the future. If she bullies you, just let know."
If this was a normal situation, this matter would have been over with such words from Mo Qiu and Chen Xiaolan.
However, there was a problem. Luo Nan wasn’t the type of person who was really good at improvising. As for Chen Xiaolin, she might have been quick witted normally but she wasn’t ntally stable right now and thus her reactions were extrely terrible. She didn’t take in or even notice her sister’s words. In the end, she spoke with a low voice:
"Junior Luo. Long ti no see."
As the person who knew her sister the best, Chen Xiaolin’s abnormal response instantly drew Chen Xiaolan’s attention. Actually, there was a quite the big difference between Chen Xiaolin’s current behavior and her previous behavior.
"Oh dang, there’s cheating going on." Mo Han and Mo Peng had ducked to the side to whisper amongst themselves. But from Luo Nan’s perspective, their volu was like being shouted at next to his ear.
Luo Nan gave them a fierce glare.
Chen Xiaolan didn’t hear the whispers between the two, but even if she did, she would have to pretend she didn’t. She asked with a bit of curiosity, "What’s this? You two know each other? Acun College is that small?"
"We just t last week. Sister Chen has also helped out before."
What else could Luo Nan say? He could only deal with this now before anything else happened.
Yet at this ti, soone else spoke up and joined the conversation, "So you’re also a junior who goes to the college... Last Friday did you attend the Mutual Assistance Dinner Gathering?"
The one who spoke up was Mo Qiu’s get-together target. Her na was Tian Si. She looked rather petite, beautiful, and gentle. Her laughter was very appealing. No wonder Mo Qiu was really putting effort into pursuing her.
"Yes. Hello, Sister Tian."
Luo Nan rembered that he seed to have t her before. She was an officer of the Student Council or the Mutual Assistance Gathering. It was just that President Chen Weican had been far too eye-catching at the ti. Luo Nan’s impression of the others that followed him was very shallow. If there hadn’t been a match in information from past and present, he certainly would have forgotten all about her.
Tian Si laughed quite happily. "The influence of Acun College has suddenly expanded greatly. Junior Nan, Tian Qi, and . We make up nearly one-third of the people here."
Tian Qi was one of the people in Chen Xiaolan’s party and he was the only male. Additionally, he was Tian Si’s cousin. Tian Qi was tall, skinny, and refined. One could tell that he was quite interested in Chen Xiaolin.
He had glared at Luo Nan the mont Chen Xiaolin’s behavior changed. His suspicions brought with them a hint of warning. However, he still laughed towards Luo Nan when Tian Si ntioned him. He reached out to shake hands with Luo Nan and said, "Junior." Tian Qi wasn’t lacking in poise at the very least.
Luo Nan inexplicably felt that things were a bit ridiculous. He could clearly feel that the flow of conversation amongst this four person group of Acun College revolved unconsciously around a certain person. Their conversation was also constantly being subjected to that person’s influence.
Xue Lei.
An emotional issue... He got a headache just thinking of it.
Luo Nan easily wouldn’t get involved in areas he didn’t understand completely. However, he was very much involved in the misfortune that had happened between Xue Lei and Chen Xiaolin. However, he also felt that he didn’t really do anything wrong.
At the Listone Water Village Pub back then, the Human-Faced Arachnid already had its eyes on Xue Lei. It even controlled Black Wolf of the ability user society for both an internal and external pincer attack. Clearly, it wanted to enjoy Xue Lei as a al. If Luo Nan hadn’t figured it out at the ti, the results would have been too horrible to contemplate.
But from another perspective, if Luo Nan hadn’t given the emotionally out-of-control Chen Xiaolin a hypnotic suggestion during the fight between Xue Lei and the Black Wolf, then Chen Xiaolin probably wouldn’t have ended up with such an intense ntal impression after. In the end, he had to bear so of the bla.
Regardless, no matter how many undertones there were between the four people group of Acun College, none of those were tonight’s subject of activity. Frost River Reality and making friends were the goals.
Everyone mutually understood this and under Mo Qiu’s suggestion, they left their seats and went deeper into the cold beverage shop. Eventually, they entered majestically into the reception hall of Frost River Reality.
This was undoubtedly the intersection point between the virtual world and the real world. Even though the world had yet to touch upon the most core of reality technology, there were still interactive AR virtual images all through out the great hall. Iron-blooded, cool & handso, cute... Various AR images were jumbled together, looking like a chaotic ss. But the quantity of interaction between countless virtual images was very much worth watching.
At least, the girls were very moe.
When a sudden loud noise clamored, Luo Nan quietly lagged behind to the back of the group. He muttered to himself for a bit, before finally deciding to give Xue Lei a call.
The call went through very quickly. "Hey, Leister, where are you!"
"I’m helping out at the gym." Xue Lei’s voice was as loud as usual. "You’re coming to school tomorrow for class right? Want to et at Blue Bay? We can do an early morning run together."
Xue Lei had also called and asked how he was doing when Luo Nan was hospitalized. He originally wanted to visit Luo Nan, but he didn’t due to a conflict between the patient visiting hours and his class schedule. He wasn’t as free as Xie Junping.
"My Aunt probably won’t be okay with it."
Luo Nan opened his mouth wordlessly but in the end, he still spoke out with the subject, "Leister, let ask. Are you and Sister Chen..."
Luo Nan understood far too well the implications, for Xue Lei had suddenly gone silent. With Xue Lei’s personality, he wasn’t one to hide things. He was extrely down when he opened his mouth and said, "She’s determined not to see . She won’t even pick up the phone. The doctors said that it’s best to maintain so distance with her, to avoid triggering her... Am I such a monster?"
Luo Nan felt that things were problematic after hearing this. He hesitated for a mont before saying, "I’m at Frost River Reality and I saw her. There are a few friends playing together with her. Do you want to co see her and clear things up?"
"Which Frost River Reality?"
"Center of the city, Fudong Main Street..."
"I’ll be there!" Xue Lei didn’t speak any further and hung up the phone. He was probably charging over in a burst of energy but since it was the weekend, it would probably take two hours to get here from the River Wu District.
Luo Nan was really worried that Xue Lei would miss her but he suddenly sensed sothing right when he was pondering over this matter. He lifted his head and was t with Chen Xiaolin, who stopped right in front of him. She turned around to look at him.
