Chapter 6: Shadows Behind the Halo 3
With the help of Gu Nan and Yuan Ye, Ye Xiaoling successfully arrived at Huayuan Hall two minutes before class time. Looking at the children who had already changed into their uniforms and were lined up neatly, she forgot to even say goodbye. She simply waved her hand and rushed into the gym like the wind.
Looking at this girl , Yuan Ye also had a strange feeling: it seemed that every time he was with her, he would be infected by her vitality, and no matter how heavy the fatigue was, it would be left behind.
This is what they call "natural influence", right?
"When are you going to tell her the truth?" Gu Nan's lazy voice interrupted his thoughts.
Yuan Ye's expression froze, and he slowly withdrew his gaze, saying with some difficulty: "On the day of the competition, she will naturally know."
After all, it would be too embarrassing for him to confess this matter to Ye Xiaoling in person...
Gu Nan smiled with gloating: "If she knew that you didn't play all the games yourself, but I was helping you, and you are a complete game idiot——"
As he deliberately dragged out his words, Yuan Ye's pale cheeks gradually turned red with embarrassment. He could no longer bear it and interrupted loudly: "Stop talking!"
He also wanted to have Ye Xiaoling's god-level skills that could be admired by everyone! But...
Yuan Ye's facial features were also twisted together in a tangle.
He seemed to have a huge deficiency in gaming. No matter how much he practiced, he could not change the fact that he was slow to react and had unfamiliar skills in the game.
Gu Nan sighed quietly, "We have to face reality sooner or later, and the heat of challenging things on Weibo is still rising. If we don't set a time soon, more people will jump out and criticize the hype."
Yuan Ye replied quietly: "I know, let's set it for two days later."
"Two days later, what's the special significance?"
"Ye Xiaoling's new role explanation video will be released in two days. It will attract a certain amount of attention again at that time. We just happened to seize that opportunity." Yuan Ye's voice once again showed the familiar pride. "Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Gu Nan thought about it seriously, then suddenly straightened up, and looked at Ye Xiaoling's busy figure in the gym again with some doubt: "Oh, right! There is one thing I have always been curious about. In addition to the income from Huayuan Hall, a large part of Ye Xiaoling's family income should be related to the income from the video, right?"
Hearing this question, a hint of understanding flashed across Yuan Ye's deep eyes, as if he had anticipated what Gu Nan wanted to ask, but he still responded slowly: "Yes."
"It's really strange!" Gu Nan shook his head and sighed, "Although the current income of Huayuan Pavilion is not a complete loss, it is barely maintaining. But Ye Xiaoling is such a powerful master. The income from the videos alone should be able to meet all her material needs! Why do my survey results show that... she is extremely frugal in her life?"
Yuan Ye only sneered: "Because of her friend."
Gunan stared at him in confusion.
"Ye Xiaoling just likes this game, and she released the video purely to share her skills and experience with everyone. Her Weibo promotion, video production, and post-processing were all taken care of by one of her friends. She knows nothing about anything." Yuan Ye's expression was cold.
Gu Nan also showed a look of disgust: "Isn't it shameful to have such a friend?"
Yuan Ye did not respond , but just nodded in agreement. He looked through the bright and clean window of Huayuan Pavilion, staring at Ye Xiaoling's nimble figure and the sun-bright smile on her face for a long time...
The red and swollen cheeks still hurt slightly, but his memory stayed at that moment when she pressed her warm palms on his injured skin and earnestly warned him: "Don't lie!"
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into a gentle arc again.
At least in front of her... He would never lie again, and if possible...
Will he be the one who can stand by her side and protect her?
