106 Battle Team’s Invitation
“Brother, why are you looking at me like that?” Qiao Yue asked in confusion.
“I feel like you know a lot of things,” Qiao Yu said with a deeper meaning.
“I’ve learned some things after some contact with them,” Qiao Yue said with a smile.
These days, posts about the game were getting more and more popular on the forum, and many were talking about the competition and game controls, but Qiao Yue’s ambition wasn’t there, so she simply put them aside after a few glances. Instead, Qiao Yue had asked Qiao Yu twice about the forum.
Qiao Yu was a meticulous person. Whenever Qiao Yue asked, he would always ask her instead what she wanted to investigate. Qiao Yue had no choice but to only give vague replies. However, due to Qiao Yue’s previous display of her gaming skills, Xu Hao remembered her and kept inviting her to join his game team.
Xu Hao was very popular. From the moment he mentioned the idea of building a team, people came to him in an endless stream. He played three matches with each person and it took him a week to confirm the other two members of his team. Xu Hao reserved the last empty spot for Qiao Yue, but she had never agreed.
After class, Qiao Yu had to go to the Student Union for a meeting, and Qiao Yue waited for him in the classroom next door.
She was scrolling through the news on her phone. From the details, she could tell that the security in C Country had indeed become more strict recently. This was probably the reason why she could live in peace for so long.
A few days ago, she had a call with Chu Jia and the others and found out that they would return to the country soon. God knows if someone among them had been exposed or if their identities had been targeted from the last assassination, but they were also being watched when they were abroad. It’s just that the people in the dark hadn’t made a move. After receiving this news, Qiao Yue could only tell them to be more careful.
“Xiao Yue, sorry for the long wait,” Hearing the voice, Qiao Yue raised her head and smiled at Qiao Yu.
“Let’s go! Let’s go home,” Qiao Yu continued.
Qiao Yue nodded, got up, and walked out of the classroom with Qiao Yu.
At this time, there were a lot fewer people on campus. The Student Union’s meetings would last at least an hour, and there was no time limit for the long ones. Once, Qiao Yue waited for Qiao Yu to finish a meeting to the point she fell asleep while waiting.
“I told you that you didn’t have to wait for me. You can just get the driver to come pick you up first,” Although Qiao Yu said no, his tone didn’t sound unhappy at all. On the contrary, he was quite pleased.
Qiao Yue could feel that Qiao Yu was happy when she waited for him, yet he just had to say the opposite.
“It’s good to go home with fourth brother. I’m not in a hurry anyway,” Qiao Yue replied casually.
Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a fiery red. Qiao Yu followed her gaze and saw a fiery red maple forest.
“I heard that it was planted by a senior who really likes maple trees. It only grew to this size in the past two years. It’s quite beautiful.”
Qiao Yue hummed in agreement, “I didn’t notice it before.”
“We used to leave the school building from the main entrance. There are no maple trees there.”
Only after Qiao Yu’s reminder did Qiao Yue realize that it was indeed the case. They had left through the back door today because Qiao Yu and the others had changed to another classroom for the meeting.
Looking at the maple forest again, Qiao Yue suddenly realized that she had been in the Qiao family for nearly three months now. It was already half of October. She had been in the Qiao family for quite a long time.
Seeing that Qiao Yue was in a daze again, Qiao Yu smiled mischievously and stretched out his foot to trip her. He did manage to trip her, but Qiao Yue didn’t fall. Instead, her body leaned forward but she stepped firmly on the ground.
Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Yu helplessly. Seeing the regretful look on the face of the person next to her, she punched Qiao Yu in the shoulder.
“Since tomorrow is a resting day, shall we go out and play tonight?” Qiao Yu asked.
“Where to? Boxing?” Qiao Yue returned the question.
“OK, I’ll call the butler and tell the drivers that they don’t need to pick us up,” Qiao Yu hadn’t been boxing for a while, and his hands were itching for a fight. He couldn’t wait to agree to Qiao Yue’s suggestion.
Qiao Yu stayed on the phone as he walked out with Qiao Yue. The two of them went to Qiao Ze’s car shop to pick up the car first, then went to the boxing club.
The two of them chatted along the way, mostly with Qiao Yu talking and Qiao Yue listening. They talked about motorbikes, boxing, and gaming. Suddenly, Qiao Yu asked, “Xiao Yue, why didn’t you agree to join Xu Hao’s team?”
“I’m not interested,” Qiao Yue replied. She was surrounded by a heap of unsettled matters and she really didn’t want to be distracted by other things. Every time she thought of the unresolved matters she had on her plate, Qiao Yue wanted to sigh. She felt that she had simply made her life a mess.
