He was still wearing a suit, as if he had just come from an important meeting and hadn't had time to change before rushing over to pick someone up.
With all four people present, the atmosphere felt somewhat awkward for some reason.
Mingyan introduced them to each other one by one—but when it was Kerry's turn, he had already walked away with a displeased look on his face.
Ning Yufeng shook hands with Xia Cheng and said to Mingyan, "It seems you two had an agreement beforehand, so I won't bother you today."
Xia Cheng smiled, put a hand on Mingyan's shoulder, and said, "Sorry, he's mine today."
Ning Yufeng's smile faltered slightly. He glanced at Mingyan and said, "It's alright, I can arrange another day with Mingyan."
Although they only exchanged three sentences, but...
Clearly stated: "?"
He felt like something was wrong.
However, this is beyond the scope of Mingyan's knowledge.
In short, after seeing the guests off, Xia Cheng finally picked up Mingyan and got him into his car.
"You seem quite busy today," Xia Cheng said.
Mingyan smiled and said, "Being busy is a good thing."
Xia Cheng nodded, then shook his head and sighed, "Sometimes I wish you wouldn't work so hard. It's too tiring. You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. Occasionally, consider relying on others, okay?"
Mingyan smiled but did not answer.
Xia Cheng was right, and Mingyan knew that too.
But he seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life.
In the apocalypse of Earth, everyone lived a precarious existence...
You have to fight with all your might to find a glimmer of hope; but sometimes even if you give up everything and do whatever it takes, you still can't survive.
One-tenth depends on ability, and nine-tenths depends on luck.
How could I not work hard?
At least, Mingyan is already trying to adjust his lifestyle.
He felt happy to be friends with Xia Cheng, at least he could find something to do in his spare time.
Xia Cheng is a person with a great zest for life.
For example, he often meets with people at the club—sometimes to play billiards, sometimes to go fishing, and sometimes even to learn how to play video games like young people.
This aristocratic refinement and leisure, coupled with Xia Cheng's personal charm, made Mingyan feel very comfortable in his company.
That evening, Mingyan cooked two side dishes.
Xia Cheng was also helping in the kitchen—although he didn't know how to use anything except the oven, he could at least heat up the chicken he bought from the online supermarket.
The last dinner turned out to be quite decent.
Xia Cheng finished the two dishes and said contentedly, "That was good."
Afterwards, they took a walk downstairs to digest their food.
Xia Cheng asked, "Have you thought of a game yet? You said last time that you already had an idea."
Mingyan remembered this and said, "Hmm, I'm planning to make a game about the apocalypse. It's based on the experience we had when we went on a wilderness survival trip together last time..."
Xia Cheng stopped in his tracks, looked at him, and said, "Was it that scary last time? It actually made you think of the end of the world?!"
Mingyan chuckled and said, "No, no, it's not what you think. It was when we were crossing the waterfall together that I got the idea for a two-player cooperative adventure. I thought this mode would be perfect for an apocalyptic storyline, so..."
Xia Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he asked with great interest, "Are you planning to design a challenge for a couple?"
Mingyan thought for a moment and said, "No, the initial setting is father and son."
Xia Cheng: "………………"
Mingyan: "?" Why does this person have such a bittersweet expression, as if he wants to say something but can't?
Chapter 38 Odin, the Great Demon King
After seeing off Young Master Xia Cheng that day, Mingyan returned to his room and continued to stay up all night writing the proposal for "Blue Star Apocalypse".
This document has accumulated to over thirty pages, but it is not yet fully completed.
Mingyan's past experiences have given him a lot of inspiration, which makes him very interested and full of expectations for the future.
That evening, Xia Cheng sent Mingyan a "goodnight" text message.
This is a habit he developed at some point; he sends "Good morning" and "Good night" messages every day.
It seemed to be to confirm that Mingyan had a normal daily routine...
After all, Mingyan has a history of disappearing without a trace several times.
But recently he made it clear that he dared not lose contact, as he had something very important to confirm.
The most important thing is to bring the Legends League into the League of Legends.
