Chapter 454 Assistant Mengmeng, Spring Has Arrived
Later, Wen Tingye changed his game nickname from "The Strongest Support in the Imperial City" to "Six Treasures' Sweet Daddy".
Ning Yao only discovered during the competition that Wen Tingye had changed his name to this, but that's another story.
……
As the competition date drew closer, Cui Mengmeng, carrying two large bags of things, huffed and puffed as she and Xin Yujue carried them to the teachers' apartment.
Guan Ying saw two girls struggling to drag two heavy sacks at the door, so she quickly went over and bent down to help.
It's actually quite heavy; even she had to put in a lot of effort.
Behind Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue was a tall, well-mannered man who also helped carry things.
Guan Ying had met him before; he was He Yu, President Wen's assistant.
Seeing Guan Ying looking at him, He Yu gave her a polite smile as a greeting.
Actually, he didn't intend for Cui Mengmeng to carry things herself, but Cui Mengmeng felt that more people meant more help, so she did it herself.
“There are still several bags downstairs, why don’t we ask Yao Yao to come out and help?” Cui Mengmeng treated Ning Yao like family.
"No need to call me Boss Ning anymore, I'll take them downstairs," Guan Ying said.
"Fine." Cui Mengmeng felt it didn't matter who she asked to leave, she wasn't going down herself.
Even if you want to do things yourself, you have to consider whether you're capable enough. She's not very handy, and when a sack of sacks came up, she almost died.
Guan Ying called over the female bodyguards that Wen Tingye had arranged for Ning Yao, and they went downstairs one after the other.
Recently, everything has been peaceful around Boss Ning, so they don't have much to do. Moving things is fine too, so they treat it as physical training.
Ning Yao opened the door and saw a group of people carrying large and small bags inside. She asked with a puzzled look, "What are all these things?"
“Our team uniform for the game.” Cui Mengmeng threw herself into the sofa and lay there motionless.
Today's trip used up her two-month workout quota.
"So many?" Ning Yao looked at the several large sacks of things on the ground with a strange expression, her voice filled with surprise.
“There’s more below. Not only ours, but also one-size-fits-all clothing for the fans and their families who come to support us.” Cui Mengmeng said, glancing at He Yu with an unusually helpless tone.
She thought it was too much trouble for Ning Yao to deal with such a small thing as team uniforms. She would find someone to design the pattern and make a sample, and then everyone would choose together when it was delivered.
Unexpectedly, He Yu took the matter upon himself after she casually mentioned it, telling her not to worry about it and to get some rest.
He took it on, but who would have thought he would send it to all the designers on his friend list? As a result, all the designers rushed to curry favor with He Yu, hoping to make a good impression on President Wen.
Sure enough, everyone put in a lot of effort into the design, and in the end, a whole truckload of sample team uniforms were sent over—it was incredible!
"It's my fault. I didn't think this through enough. I should have brought a few more bodyguards with me."
"I just sent it out to the group casually, and each of their designers provided more than one design, so..."
There were several truckloads of team uniform samples downstairs; he had seriously underestimated the creativity of these designers.
He Yu stood aside with a smile, explained a few words to Ning Yao, and then went to run errands for Cui Mengmeng, getting her some chilled juice.
Guan Ying and her group made several trips but still couldn't finish moving the items, so Ning Yao called them back.
"Don't move it, I can't fit it all here, let's leave it on the truck."
Ning Yao looked at the living room floor piled high with sacks, and the veins on her forehead throbbed.
Those who didn't know better might think she had switched careers to become a Taobao seller, and that the teachers' apartment is her main distribution warehouse.
"By the time we finish choosing these clothes, the competition will probably be over," Xin Yujue said helplessly, shrugging her shoulders.
"Wen Tingye said we can decide on the clothes. You guys choose, and we'll decide which one you like." Ning Yao didn't want to go through those clothes; just looking at the sheer weight of them gave her a headache.
“Okay, we’ll choose three sets, and then you can decide.” Cui Mengmeng clapped her hands to decide, and then began to look at the electronic sample images.
"Let me help you choose. What kind do you like?" He Yu brought the juice to Cui Mengmeng and then sat down next to her.
"No need, you've already helped me, although I didn't expect it to make things worse..." Cui Mengmeng muttered, taking the juice, her mood still quite good.
He Yu didn't want to miss this opportunity to spend time with Cui Mengmeng, so he immediately said, "Then I'll choose with you."
"Don't you have anything to do?" Cui Mengmeng looked at He Yu suspiciously. He Yu was President Wen's assistant, so how could he be so free?
“I asked President Wen for a few days off. Aren’t you guys going to the competition?” He Yu said, glancing around to make sure everyone was doing their own thing and no one was paying attention to him and Cui Mengmeng before lowering his voice.
"My girlfriend's having a competition, how could I not be there? I want to cheer you on." He Yu's voice carried a hint of sweetness.
"When did I become your girlfriend?" Cui Mengmeng put down her juice, her cheeks flushing red instantly.
There was a hint of ambiguity between her and He Yu, but they both kept it to themselves and neither of them made it public.
Especially since He Yu was so bad at games, yet he insisted on playing games with her, Cui Mengmeng found it distasteful.
Of course, it's just talk; when it comes to playing games, the most important thing is who you play with.
He Yu is stubborn; she's all he can think about.
Although I wasn't good at the game, I stayed with her the whole time, never trying to steal any buffs or kills from her.
He couldn't carry Cui Mengmeng to victory, but Cui Mengmeng also felt that the game experience was pretty good. At least when He Yu was bullied by her random teammates when she underperformed, he would help her scold them back without hesitation.
That was the first time Cui Mengmeng had seen He Yu, who was usually so gentle and refined, lose his temper, and she found it unbelievable at the time.
"Why isn't she my girlfriend? I sent you a request to be paired with someone else, didn't you see it?"
He Yu didn't know that the request required the other party's consent. He thought that if there was no rejection response after sending it, it meant that the other party had agreed.
"Weren't you envious of those people who had romantic partners in games a while ago? Now you have one too."
"Did you send me a CP request?" Cui Mengmeng sat up straight in surprise and quickly took out her phone to check.
Lately, she goes straight into the game as soon as she logs on, without checking any messages or emails.
Unlike Xin Yujue, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder and has to open and remove every red dot notification, she doesn't.
"So you didn't see it? It's okay, you saw it now anyway... So, will you agree?" He Yu asked cautiously, his tone serious, without a hint of joking.
As he spoke, He Yu even straightened his shoulders and placed his hands nervously on his knees, as if facing a major life event.
"Hmm... I'll think about it." Cui Mengmeng didn't give He Yu an immediate response. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and pretended to be deep in thought.
A fleeting look of disappointment crossed He Yu's eyes. He had thought that, given Cui Mengmeng's personality, if she were interested in him, she would have agreed on the spot.
But Cui Mengmeng said she needed time to think it over, and he couldn't press her too hard, lest he offend her and cause her to lose out.
"How long do you need to think about it? Is three days enough?" He Yu turned his head to look at Cui Mengmeng beside him and asked.
“It doesn’t need to be three days…” Cui Mengmeng blinked, looking sly.
"I was just kidding you. Anyway, I'll play by myself or with someone else. I promise to be your partner. After the competition, I'll teach you how to play. With more practice, you can become really good." Cui Mengmeng encouraged He Yu.
"No problem!" He Yu readily agreed. Becoming a game couple is the beginning for many real-life couples.
He has already taken the first step towards success; how far away can the second step be?
Just then, Ning Yao came out of the bedroom. She walked leisurely to pour water, her long legs carrying her. She inadvertently glanced at He Yu and Cui Mengmeng on the sofa. Upon seeing their appearance, the young woman raised one eyebrow slightly, her expression somewhat amused.
What are these two talking about? Why are they blushing over looking at team uniforms?
Their faces were as red as crabs; anyone who didn't know better would think they were watching some inappropriate movie for children.
Thinking it over, Ning Yao picked up a glass of water, her slender white fingers holding the glass, and took two sips without making a sound.
Ning Yao thought to herself: It seems that spring has come for her agent and assistant, Mengmeng...
