How could we possibly wrong Brother Qi like that!
Wen Cheng was extremely unwilling.
So he turned to Gu Yuning and asked, "Sister Yuning, is there a place where everyone can do their own thing without having to gather together, but still have a lot of fun?"
Gu Yuning: You practically have your desire to be with your boyfriend written all over your face!
What to do? I feel like it's too lenient to just put the necklaces these two people gave me into the closet. I'll just put them in the first-floor storage room when I get back this time. Out of sight, out of mind!
But now that the question has been asked of myself...
"Uh, an internet cafe?" Gu Yuning thought of one.
They're all doing their own thing and having a great time. They're all tech people, which sounds pretty good.
"Then let's go to an internet cafe!" Wen Cheng's fighting spirit was rekindled; she wanted to go to one of those internet cafes with private booths!
As luck would have it, a quick check back revealed there was one nearby, a co-branded internet cafe under their company's umbrella. It had three floors with varying levels of luxury. As a newly minted rich kid, Wen Cheng naturally chose the most luxurious third floor, with private rooms, unlimited snacks, and the ultimate service!

Chapter 100 Team Building Activities
The idea of going to an internet cafe was immediately approved by a group of men. Isn't playing games more fun than singing? Putting everything else aside, the equipment and environment of the internet cafe that Wencheng had booked were top-notch, so there was a reason why it was expensive. With the proposal of the activity, Wencheng's status in the hearts of the information department rose several levels.
The girls were initially resistant. They didn't play many games, and even when they did, they rarely went to internet cafes. Just when they were about to put up a final stand against the boys, Gu Yuning stepped forward.
"This internet cafe also has a special girls' service area, with comics, merchandise, novels, and even game trial accounts," Gu Yuning offered a fatal temptation. Almost instantly, the girls gave up any thought of resisting, and a large group of them headed to the internet cafe.
On the way, Shen Feimo put his arm around Wen Cheng's shoulder. "Chengcheng, come to my room later."
"Huh? You're funny. Of course Wen Cheng is in my team. Don't you know how well Wen Cheng and I cooperate in the game?" Yao Xingwei was a little down when Yan Luan left, but now he's back to his usual self.
Shen Feimo has a carefree and easygoing personality. The ideas his family instilled in him from a young age have made him very mentally healthy. He started chatting with Yao Xingwei during the meal, so naturally he wasn't going to hold back now.
"Nonsense, Chengcheng plays games with me every day at the company. Our teamwork is unbeatable, okay?"
Wen Cheng: I don't want either of you, thank you.
"How about we try something different today? You two can play together!" Wen Cheng thought she had come up with a brilliant idea. "Yao Xingwei's archery is pretty good, and Shen Feimo's Princess Feifei is invincible!"
Which jungler wouldn't want a support like that?
Sure enough, with Wen Cheng's enhancement to some extent, the two fell into a brief period of contemplation.
Then,
"Well, since you two are together, Chengcheng can come with me." He Haobo is usually quiet, but he's always there when there's something good or a lucky break.
Damn it! Is this ever going to end?!
Curly was furious. How was he supposed to summon Brother Qi like this? Why did everyone have to rely on a useless support like him? He should have known better than to reveal his true strength back then!
"Xiao He, since you don't have a partner yet, how about you join me?" Gu Yuning tossed her long hair behind her, her striking appearance drawing frequent glances from passersby.
He Haobo's composed face showed no surprise. "Sister Yu Ning, I don't know how to take care of girls when I'm playing games,"
You can tell he's a straight man just by saying that.
Gu Yuning's smile faltered, and she almost adopted the same tone she used to teach him a lesson when they were children. The He and Gu families had been on good terms since childhood, and Gu Yuning, who was three years older than He Haobo, often visited each other's homes. Gu Yuning was never one to be bullied, and He Haobo was a tech-savvy nerd who was usually quiet and reserved. Among a group of boys of similar age, he was the one who was bullied the most by Gu Yuning.
However, after graduating from high school, Gu Yuning gradually realized that she was a girl. Slowly, she stopped revealing her true nature when she came to the He family and became gentle and refined, which made He's mother suspicious for a long time.
She often asked He Haobo, who had just started high school, "Did your sister have some kind of surgery to prevent her facial nerves from being affected? Why is she so gentle now? I'm not used to it."
At that time, He Haobo simply pushed up his thick glasses and said, without any concern, that he didn't know when he would continue making his models.
Many years after graduation, their relationship has been lukewarm, and neither of them has any intention of changing it.
"Xiao He, you're all grown up now and you don't even know how to take care of your older sister anymore?" Gu Yuning slowly placed her beautiful hands on He Haobo's shoulders.
He Haobo's shoulders twitched slightly; he was frightened.
"Sure, sis."
Wen Cheng almost knelt down before Gu Yuning on the spot, saying, "From now on, you are my older sister!"
Once they reached the third floor of the internet cafe, everyone had chosen their seats and formed teams to start playing together.
"Chengcheng, get ready, let's start!" Yao Xingwei's voice came through the earpiece.
Wen Cheng was getting anxious when she saw that her message had gone unanswered.
"Um, you guys start a game first. I ate too much seafood just now, I need to go to the bathroom." Wen Cheng tried to make her voice sound weak and listless.
The team consisted of acquaintances, and this tactic proved effective. After checking on Wen Cheng and confirming that he was alright, they drove off first. Wen Cheng ran outside and anxiously searched around, finally spotting Wen Qi's car under a streetlight.
Wen Cheng jogged over again and nimbly slipped into the passenger seat.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Wen Qi slowly shut down the computer, then reached out to touch Wen Cheng's head. There was a pleasant, cool woody scent, which calmed Wen Cheng down, and her rapid breathing gradually subsided.
Why are you running so fast? Didn't you just go in?
Wen Cheng looked at Qi Ge sitting upright to one side. His wrist, with its distinct bones, was visible through the dark blue cuff. His slender index finger tapped lightly on the computer, making a clicking sound. Above him was a well-tailored black suit. A small hole could be faintly seen in his earlobe, which was the ear piercing he had made for her.
"Because I want to see you sooner, Brother Qi, will you hate it when I'm clinging to you like this?" Wen Cheng really wanted to know the answer. If he didn't like being clingy, he could, well, walk over to see Brother Qi in the future.
"If I hated you, I wouldn't have come here to find you, Wen Cheng. You can stick to me as much as you want. You don't have to restrain yourself from doing what you want in front of me. I've said it before, I like it." Rather than saying that she couldn't live without him, it's just that her silly younger brother lacked confidence in himself. But it doesn't matter. There will be plenty of time to spend with Wen Cheng in the future. One day, he will understand what an immeasurable place he holds in his heart.
Wen Cheng smiled with relief, then suddenly remembered the thing she had stuffed into her pocket that morning and quickly took it out.
"I've been thinking about this all day and completely forgot about it. Here, Brother Qi, let me put these on for you." Wen Cheng took out a small box from her pocket. Inside was a pair of earrings. From the marks on the cut surface, it could be vaguely determined that the leaves inside were the same leaves that Wen Cheng had risked her life to get last time.
Wen Qi actually disliked the earring more than anything else, because Wen Cheng almost left this world because of it. However, he also knew that it wasn't the earring that was the problem, nor was there anything wrong with the meaning of the earring. The problem was simply his unease and selfishness.
"Put them on. You don't need to take yours off when we get home; I'll take them off. Your ears are newly pierced; taking them out too much can cause infection." Wen Qi habitually put Wen Cheng's health first.
However, Wen Cheng didn't want Qi Ge to keep taking off his earrings, so she quietly put them away and, under Wen Qi's probing gaze, took out two necklaces.
"Brother Qi, let's wear them. It's autumn, we won't be noticed!" Wen Cheng felt she had made a brilliant plan.
With a smile on Wen Qi's face, Wen Cheng put this necklace, which held special meaning for the two of them, on Wen Qi's wrist.

"Hey, Chengcheng, you're finally online! Come on, be my support! You lied to me, Shen Feimo is terrible at support!" As soon as Wen Cheng logged back in, Yao Xingwei complained without giving her any face.
After Yao Xingwei finished speaking, Shen Feimo on the other side laughed, not to be outdone, "Don't make me laugh to death. What can I do if your marksman is so bad? I even fed you more than twenty times. Let me tell you, the last time I got scolded in the game was when I first started playing this game!"
"Hey! Wanna try a 1v1?"
Wen Cheng was speechless, as were He Haobo and Gu Yuning. "Hey you two, stop acting like kids, having a one-on-one fight!"
He feels ashamed because he doesn't want his boyfriend to see how stupid his friend is behind his back.
Sitting to the side, Wen Qi pointed to Wen Cheng's microphone, and Wen Cheng immediately understood and turned it off.
"Can I play this round?" Wen Qi's voice remained calm, but the content was extremely shocking. A gaming master was playing games with these childish guys. However, watching her boyfriend play games was a real treat. Between embarrassment and enjoyment, Wen Cheng decisively chose enjoyment.
"You've never played with me!" Wen Cheng said with a hint of displeasure.
"I'll go back and play with you. Isn't our Chengcheng amazing?" Wen Qi praised Wen Cheng generously, gently stroking her fur.
"Hehe, then I'll take good care of you when we get back."
At the start of the game, Wen Qi didn't choose support, nor was he the type to play support. He was third in line and immediately chose jungle. Wen Cheng instantly became excited and sat down with Wen Qi on the double sofa, even wanting to record the game.
As an older brother, I wouldn't allow this kind of request, but it's different for a boyfriend.
"Hey, Wen Cheng, why did you choose jungle?! I want support!" Yao Xingwei was the first to challenge him.
The assistant wasn't Shen Feimo, but Gu Yuning. Isn't that just asking for trouble?
"What's wrong? You're not happy that I'm your support?"
"No, no, no, Sister Yuning, how could I think that way~" Yao Xingwei's dignity was completely insignificant compared to Gu Yuning's violence.
Sitting in the private room, He Haobo laughed gleefully, but when Gu Yuning's gaze fell on him, He Haobo instantly composed himself and returned to his calm demeanor.
"I'll come to the middle lane in a bit,"
"Give way to your sister in the minion wave."
"Pfft!" Wen Cheng couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that Gu Yuning was the winner in life today.
"Brother Qi, if you turn on your mic,"
"Then we don't need to continue this game," Wen Qi replied honestly.
That's true.
The game began, and Wen Qi's fingers moved nimbly across the keyboard, belying his earlier claim of limited gaming experience. After familiarizing himself with the skills briefly, Wen Qi began to truly engage with the game.
If Wen Cheng's jungling style is mainly about both offense and defense, then Wen Qi's jungling style is all about offense. He silently sneaks up behind the enemy and then kills them with beautiful and clean movements, and the number of kills increases visibly.
"Chengcheng, don't go in! There are three of them! Wait for me to come help you!" Helping others is secondary; getting kills is the real goal. Yao Xingwei realized that Wen Cheng was truly brave today. If it used to be about precise first kills, today it was a ruthless massacre!
That was awesome!
"Brother Qi, you go ahead and kill your enemies, don't wait for him. He's just someone who's after everyone else," Wen Cheng, who wasn't using her microphone, recklessly suggested to her boyfriend.
Wen Qi slightly raised the corners of his lips, "I know."
Then came a few more skillful moves, and with the equipment recommended by Wen Cheng, he took down two low-health enemies and one full-health enemy before retreating to the turret at half health. Yao Xingwei, who was following behind, didn't even get a chance to touch the enemy.
"Chengcheng, you've changed! You won't even let me help you with something this dangerous!"
Wen Cheng's disdain was written all over her face.
At this moment, Wen Qi suddenly chose to return to the city. In the few seconds it took to return, Wen Qi turned off voice chat, and Yao Xingwei's noisy voice also disappeared instantly.
"Chengcheng, come here."
Chapter 101 Clues
Wen Qi's voice held a special magic for Wen Cheng, especially when he called her name. His deep voice was like the sound of bass keys on a piano, steady yet possessing an undeniable air of authority.
Wen Cheng obediently leaned closer and asked innocently, "Are you tired? Let me do it for you."
Wen Qi didn't speak, but his actions were decisive. He hooked Wen Cheng's chin with one hand and habitually bit her lower lip.
