Chapter 1242: Christmas Presents
Translator: Nomyummi Editor: Nomyummi
Eght consecutive wins, plus it was almost Christmas. From top to bottom, Happy was filled with a joyous atmosphere. Ye Xiu didn't want to ruin the spirit. At least wait until after the holiday passed to remind everyone to stay cautious and focused!
That little clumsily handmade Christmas tree was brought out by Chen Guo again. But this time, she didn't set it up in the main area of the Internet cafe for some activity. Instead, she carried it to the practice room of Happy Internet Cafe, and after setting it in a corner she carefully began to decorate it.
Seeing this Christmas tree, Ye Xiu couldn't help but pause. This was now his third time seeing this Christmas tree, and it was now two years since the first time he had seen it. At that time, it had been less than a month since he left Excellent Era. In the blink of an eye, two years had passed, and he had actually established a professional team in this Internet cafe, slaughtered his way back into the Alliance, all the way to fifth place on the leaderboard…
Looking back, even Ye Xiu himself couldn't believe that all of this had happened. They had actually managed to do something like this, and they'd done a pretty good job of it, too.
"What are you spacing out for, e here and help!" Chen Guo's shout interrupted Ye Xiu's thoughts.
Chen Guo was currently hanging presents on the tree. These were all presents that she had prepared for everyone at Happy, each one carefully wrapped so that from the outside, you couldn't tell what they were at all.
"Which one is mine?" Ye Xiu casually asked as he helped her hang them on the tree.
"I don't know. When it's time, everyone will pick one for themselves, and whichever one they pick will be theirs. That way it'll be interesting," Chen Guo said.
"Then what about yourself?" Ye Xiu asked.
"There's one for me too, of course," said Chen Guo.
"You got yourself a present? What's the meaning in that?" Ye Xiu laughed.
"What do you mean I got myself a present! This is a present from Happy to Happy's every member. Am I not a member of Happy?" Chen Guo asked, filled with righteousness.
"Of course." Ye Xiu hurriedly nodded.
"Very good, then we'll just leave it like this!" Chen Guo hung the last present on the tree, studied it critically for a while, and after confirming that nothing was wrong, she nodded her head in satisfaction.
"Aside from picking presents, are we doing anything else interesting?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Isn't casually playing some Glory the most interesting thing for you guys anyway?" Chen Guo said.
Ye Xiu froze, and then laughed bitterly. "I don't object to playing some other things occasionally."
"Oh?" Chen Guo thought for a bit. "Go online and play Astrogeddon?" Astrogeddon was currently the most popular RTS game at the moment.
"It looks like you can't think of anything besides playing games, either," Ye Xiu said.
"Yes, I can't either." Chen Guo put special emphasis on the "either." She didn't think that Ye Xiu would have any good suggestions himself; after all, this wasn't the first holiday they had spent together.
"Let's wait for everyone to show up!" Ye Xiu sat down on the couch.
"Brainstorm?" Chen Guo sat down as well.
The two of them sat there like that, staring at the ceiling. One was Happy's captain, one was Happy's boss, but for something like this, neither of them had any good solutions. Perhaps it was because they had both spent too many lonely days without their loved ones.
Bang!
The door to the practice room was roughly pushed open, and Steamed Bun, clutching a steamed bun in his hand, walked inside.
"Yo, Boss!" Steamed Bun waved his steamed bun and greeted Ye Xiu, but just as he was about to greet Chen Guo as well, he saw the Christmas tree at the corner of the room. "Yo, a Christmas tree!" And so Steamed Bun's greeting skipped right over Chen Guo and was sent to the Christmas tree.
"Yup, it's a Christmas tree." Chen Guo wasn't upset that Steamed Bun had skipped right over her, and was actually quite satisfied with his reaction after seeing the tree.
"There are presents hanging on the tree. When it's time, everyone will pick one," Chen Guo explained.
"Alright, thanks Boss." Steamed Bun nodded, and then picked a present off the tree.
Something didn't seem right? Chen Guo blinked.
"What is it?" But Steamed Bun was already unwrapping the present.
"You-! When it's time, I said when it's time! Didn't you hear?" Chen Guo jumped up.
"When it's time? When it's what time?" Steamed Bun asked.
"When it's Christmas!" Chen Guo said.
"Isn't that today?" Steamed Bun was confused.
"That's tomorrow, today is the 24th, the day before Christmas, Christmas Eve, do you understand?" Chen Guo fumed.
"Oh, then I'll unwrap it tomorrow." Steamed Bun nodded, and finally stopped unwrapping. Chen Guo almost went up to get it back, but… Steamed Bun had already left his fingerprints all over the wrapping, since he had just been holding an actual steamed bun. Chen Guo was quite depressed. Should she just rewrap it? Just as she was pondering this, another person entering the room. With a "Huh?
