I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 241 If he plays video games all day and ignores you, tell your mother.

Yu Lingxue sat next to Tang Zhi, facing Shen Linyi's coldness throughout the entire dinner...

When Shen Linyi treated Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran, she was like a completely different person, kind and approachable, like a gentle older sister.

This puzzled Yu Lingxue; she couldn't understand why Yu Lingxue could switch states so quickly... she could become a different person in the blink of an eye.

After the dinner, Yin Mengran specifically sought out Yu Lingxue to explain things to Shen Linyi, hoping she wouldn't misunderstand.

She also learned that Shen Linyi's social anxiety and withdrawn personality stemmed from past traumatic experiences.

They even disguise themselves as hedgehogs to protect themselves and prevent others from getting close.

But it's actually harmless inside; if you remove the thorns on its back, its belly is still soft.

The entire dinner revolved around one topic: where they planned to go for the holiday.

In the end, the discussion didn't yield any definite answers. Everyone had their own ideas, and proposing any option would inevitably lead to opposition, making it difficult to find a project that satisfied everyone.

It was getting late, and everyone went home.

They created a group chat where everyone could join, to discuss where to go for fun, or simply chat casually.

Yin Mengran and Zhu Tao spoke the most; they talked a lot.

The others, Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran, only needed to look at one phone; Tang Zhi played games and rarely spoke.

Liao Haomiao didn't know what to say, Yu Lingxue didn't dare to say anything, and Shen Linyi remained silent...

Yin Mengran and Zhu Tao shared many places to go in the group chat, and they all looked pretty good, making it even harder to choose...

Everyone said "whatever" or "whatever," and no one made a decision, so in the end, nothing was decided.

Several days passed like this...

A few days later, in the morning, while Zhou Heng was washing up in the bathroom, his phone suddenly rang.

Zhou Heng glanced at it briefly, saw it was a group chat message, and didn't pay much attention, assuming it was probably sent by Zhu Tao or Yin Mengran.

But when he looked closely, he discovered that it was actually sent by Tang Zhi!

This piqued Zhou Heng's interest. Tang Zhi usually didn't speak, but this morning she actually took the initiative to send a message?

While brushing his teeth, Zhou Heng opened his phone and glanced at it, only to find that Tang Zhi had sent him an announcement!

Three days later, a Street Fighter game tournament will be held in the city of Huzhou. It's not a formal, official tournament.

It was a competition sponsored by an arcade joystick company, mainly for product promotion, so there were no entry requirements; anyone could register.

Consolation prizes consist of various small gifts.

The runner-up prize was a product developed by that company, with a total value of approximately two thousand yuan.

The champion will receive a cash prize of 28888 yuan, plus two vouchers for a three-day, two-night stay at a partner hotel, including three meals a day.

The competition wasn't large, but the prizes were decent, and most importantly, there were no entry requirements.

Zhou Heng had just finished reading Tang Zhi's message when she immediately tagged him and asked:

"Are you going or not?"

"hiss--"

Zhou Heng stared at his phone, hesitated for a moment, and was indeed tempted. The thought of playing and sparring with masters from all over the world intrigued him...

But he can't go alone with Tang Zhi, can he? What about Yin Mengran...?

Zhou Heng brushed his teeth faster, then grabbed his phone and immediately returned to his bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, Yin Mengran was looking at her phone when she saw Zhou Heng rush in. She smiled and asked:

"I saw it, you really want to go, right?"

"Uh... because we haven't decided where to go yet, and now Tang Zhi has finally made a suggestion, and I think... it's a good idea."

Zhou Heng scratched his head awkwardly and said in a low voice.

Yin Mengran sat up in bed and went to the bedside, standing in front of Zhou Heng.

"Let's ask other people. If they're free, let's go. I saw online that there are many fun places in Huzhou. It would be nice to go there."

"Well, okay!"

Zhou Heng nodded, then immediately replied to Tang Zhi on his phone:

"【I'm covering the trip! Anyone else going? How about we go to Huzhou?"

A few minutes after Zhou Heng finished speaking, Yu Lingxue was the first to reply:

"【receive.】"

Then came Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao:

"【We're fine with either of us, so how about we pack up and go tomorrow or the day after?】"

Zhou Heng glanced at the crowd; no one else seemed to have any objections, except for Shen Linyi, who remained silent.

He knew Shen Linyi wouldn't speak in the group chat, so he had Yin Mengran ask her privately.

After chatting for a while, Yin Mengran looked up at Zhou Heng and said:

"Yes! She said it's no problem!"

"Okay, let's decide whether to go tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

Zhou Heng sat down immediately and started speaking in the group chat.

Now Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi are the most active in the group chat, and they've even already checked the train tickets and itinerary.

Seeing Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi so excited made Yin Mengran quite happy; this was the meaning of going out to play, in her opinion.

If going out to play can make her beloved and cared-about person happy, then it has meaning.

Finally, after discussion, it was decided to depart tomorrow afternoon.

It takes about two hours by high-speed rail, and you'll arrive at your destination in the evening. After staying overnight, you can spend the next day sightseeing, and the competition will be on the third day.

Yin Mengran was still chatting with the girls, discussing going shopping together that afternoon.

At that moment, a message was received.

Yin Mengran looked closely and realized that it was sent by Zhou Heng's mother!

"Honey, what are you doing? Has Zhou Heng taken you out to play? If he's playing games all day and ignoring you, tell Mommy."

"what..."

Yin Mengran was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Zhou Heng, who was indeed playing a game...

But he didn't ignore her. On the contrary, she wanted him to have more fun. He had finally been relieved of his burden and didn't have to focus on her every day.

"No, Mom, Zhou Heng spends time with me every day. We're going to Huzhou together tomorrow!"

"【Huzhou? Oh, I'm in Huzhou right now. Come find me when you arrive, and I'll treat you to a meal.】"

"Okay, Mom! We'll message you when we arrive."

"【Okay, then I won't bother you any longer. Let's talk when you arrive!】"

At this moment, Liu Wei was sitting in an upscale restaurant. After finishing her conversation with Yin Mengran, she put down her phone.

Opposite Liu Wei sat a man, staring intently at her.

Liu Wei raised her head, crossed her hands to support her chin, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said softly:

"Your son is coming over. Do you plan to meet him?"
