Book 1: Chapter 38
âOne, two, three, four, fiveâ¦â¦eleven, twelve.â 97 stretched out his two hands, laughing excitedly. âTwelve Chinese characters plus five English letters. That is the longest sentence from Dt today. This must be a really special place.â
Ai Qingâs cheeks was slowing turning red again as usual.
She wanted to stand up, but she was in an awkward position. As she staggered, she leaned backwards and almost pushed the counter over. Fortunately, Dt extended his hand in time to catch her arm and forcefully pulled her up.
After she had a full view of the store, she realized why they would suddenly show up here.
A group of people looked at her smiling. The culprit, her sister Ai Jing, leaned against Grunt and said to her, âMom and dad said you keep coming to this computer city all summer. We searched all over, luckily we saw Slide, otherwise we really wouldnât have found you.â Ai Jing turned to Slide. âI remember, we met before.â
Slide smiled. âWe met when you were still a teenager.â after saying that, he squinted his eyes and sized up Grunt with great interest. âToday must be a good day. The second and third place of WCG Warcraft are all in my store.â
Slide was a good buddy of Solo, naturally he paid special attention to Grunt.
Grunt understood what he meant and extended his hand. âI remember you; once the golden commentator. Captain of the Chinese Team at the â07 WCG Asian Tournament. Howâs your retirement life?â
âNot too bad.â Slide didnât get angry with Gruntâs arrogance, but rather appreciated it. âIâm old. I can only watch you guysâ duke it out on competition videos to pass the time.â
Ai Qing made a helpless expression to her sister which meant: why is your man always so egotistic?
Her sister innocently laughed.
The presence of these big shots naturally attracted attention. Several customers quickly recognized Grunt and Dt. They excitedly pushed past each other; it seemed that they wanted to take pictures with them but were too embarrassed to come forward.
Ai Qing found it very interesting to watch Dt feel uneasy, but then found something even more interesting.
All the computers in the store were still showing that video, Ai Qingâs face kept showing up. But the short haired Ai Qing in the video didnât look like her since she had long hair now, rather the person on the video looked much more like her sister.
Suddenly, she had a wild idea. She said to the most popular top players before her,
âLetâs have a signing party this afternoon?â
Everyone was confused. Ai Qing proudly added, âYou are all famous now and havenât signed with any club yet. Thereâs no sponsor. This is the best time to make some profit for my friend. Letâs do a signing party for my best friend, you guys can even take a share.â
She felt that she was too brilliant. She raised her chin towards Slide after she finished talking.
97 was dumbfounded and looked at Grunt. Grunt wasnât against it; thereâs careless smile in his beautiful eyes.
Ai Qing thought about it and decided Dt was the pushover among them. She elbowed him. âItâs settled? You'll have all kinds of commercial promotions in the future, just take this as a warmup.â
Dt silently looked at her and very lightly nodded after a while.
