Song Boyuan was both afraid of being pinched by a crab and too scared to reach out his hand to grab one. So, with his tall and long legs, he ended up sitting on the kitchen cabinet, without his phone at hand.
He could only call out to Jing Qiao from inside, but the house was too big, and she didn’t hear him.
In desperation, he raised his voice, even calling out for his wife in his haste.
When Jing Qiao rushed in from the yard, her hands still covered with the dirt from gardening she hadn’t had ti to clean, she saw the tall and handso iceberg of a man, folding his long legs and sitting on top of the kitchen cabinet.
At that mont, Jing Qiao laughed so hard she doubled over and couldn’t straighten up.
No matter how coldly the handso man glared at her, or how scary he looked, it was of no use.
She walked in, saw the large crabs blocked by the kitchen door’s threshold, picked them up one by one with one hand, and threw them into the sink.
She even teasingly held one up to Song Boyuan’s face, "So, you’re scared of these, huh? What else are you afraid of? Mice? Cockroaches?"
"Jing Qiao!" Song Boyuan was livid at the ti, which she still rembers to this day.
Furious, he stord into the study and didn’t want to deal with her anymore. Jing Qiao, rarely seeing the young master lose his temper like this, quickly stead the crabs and called him out to eat. When he ignored her, she sat beside him, peeled the crabs, and fed them to him.
She managed to pacify the young master completely, and even though he still gave her cold looks, as she brought the crabat to his lips, he would eat it without hesitation, even nibbling on her fingers, grinding his teeth gently on her fingertips, as if he wanted to bite off a piece of her finger as well.
For so reason, Jing Qiao suddenly thought of the past.
Though she rarely thought of it, those mories she thought she had forgotten or sealed away started to misbehave and erge.
Little by little, piece by piece.
Like fragnts of mottled light in her mind, flashing bright and impossible to ignore.
"Alright, don’t be mad anymore. Go scold the person who sent you the crabs. Isn’t it rather unreasonable to be angry with ?" she coaxed as she brought a spoonful of crab roe mixed with vinegar to his lips, "I’ve been peeling these crabs for you for so long."
Song Boyuan didn’t take that spoonful of crab roe but took the spoon and fed it into her mouth instead.
Then he said, "Quietly, if you peel crabs for for the rest of your life, I’ll forgive you!"
At the mont, Jing Qiao stared at the two remaining crabs on the large plate in front of her, sowhat distracted.
So much ti had already passed.
He was no longer the young master from her past.
And she was no longer his Quietly from back then.
After finishing their al, Su Lu and Bo Jingshen wanted to take their son for a walk to aid digestion, so they suggested a stroll in the nearby park.
Jing Qiao had no objections.
Song Boyuan could be ignored.
If Jing Qiao had no objections, he basically wouldn’t have any either.
The nearby park was filled with those LOFT factory buildings, housing offices for various tech companies.
It was quite interesting, with a very trendy feel all around.
So companies even had basketball courts inside.
Bo Jingshen and Su Lu continued walking aimlessly deeper into the area, and before they knew it, they found themselves in front of a building.
Su Lu looked at the LOFT factory building and was a bit stunned, mainly because she was distracted by the LOGO hanging at the entrance of the building.
Su Lu glanced sideways at Bo Jingshen. "Ah Shen, is this... Lieying’s base?"
Bo Jingshen nodded. "Yeah, we didn’t plan on coming here, but sohow we just ended up wandering over."
"I rember the base wasn’t here." Su Lu thought back to her visit to Lieying Base a few years ago, back then she was the first to follow this eSports project.
"It moved once, and then it moved here," Bo Jingshen explained.
Su Lu suddenly realized, "Oh, so this is the technology park you developed after you returned to the country?"
Bo Jingshen smiled and nodded again.
Then it was clear to Su Lu. Later on, Jiang Li kept following the Lieying project, and after Bo Jingshen developed this technology park, Jiang Li moved the base here, which made perfect sense.
"Do you want to go in and have a look?" Bo Jingshen asked.
Su Lu thought for a bit. "I probably... won’t recognize anyone, right?"
The career span of eSports players isn’t long, due to the intense training, they’re prone to professional illnesses and injuries, resulting in frequent player turnover. By their early twenties, they’re already considered veterans.
"As long as you recognize , it’s fine," Bo Jingshen said.
His words had a dual aning; she only needed to recognize him. As for everyone inside Lieying, as long as they recognized him, they wouldn’t refuse her a visit.
"Daddy, where is this?" Zhao Xiaole followed them inside, looking around curiously. Especially the entire wall of beautiful graffiti at the main entrance of Lieying was highly artistic, which Zhao Xiaole found very intriguing.
"It’s a place for playing gas," Bo Jingshen explained. He then asked Zhao Xiaole, "Doesn’t Xiao Le love playing gas the most?"
Zhao Xiaole’s eyes brightened. "Is it an arcade?"
From the appearance of the building, it did look sowhat like an arcade, the graffiti was bright and vibrant, giving off a bit of an arcade vibe at first glance.
Song Boyuan and Jing Qiao, on the other hand, did not go in and were waiting outside.
As soon as Su Lu and Bo Jingshen entered, soone imdiately ca to greet them.
"You’re looking for..." The person was about to ask when he quickly recognized Bo Jingshen. "B-God... no, President Bo! What brings you here?"
"Oh, just taking the family for a visit, I hope we’re not disturbing anything?" Bo Jingshen asked casually.
The person seed quite young, probably around eighteen or nineteen, just about the sa age as Ying Xi back in the day, dressed in the Lieying team uniform.
Upon hearing this, he imdiately widened his eyes, looked at Su Lu, then glanced at Zhao Xiaole.
Then he smiled, "Then I definitely should personally host."
Su Lu hadn’t seen this kid before and looked at Bo Jingshen with so confusion.
Bo Jingshen leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Lieying’s current team captain."
He paused, then added, "Ying Xi’s disciple, you could say he’s a direct and senior apprentice. His na is Lin Zeya."
Su Lu nodded in understanding. "Zeya, huh."
Now it was Bo Jingshen’s turn to be surprised. "You know him?"
"Know him, he’s quite famous," Su Lu said. "How did you manage to get such a famous eSports King to tour us around?"
"Do you know why he didn’t recognize you just now?" Bo Jingshen asked.
Su Lu started to chuckle, her voice lighter, "Well, it’s the difference in the flesh... He looks even younger than in the videos."
Bo Jingshen gave her a look and said, "What’s wrong with having the current eSports King as our tour guide? His master is my fanboy."
Su Lu: "Wow, that’s so aweso for you..."
