The group went inside and some casually took their seats while others went through the drinks and snacks to gather their favourites before sitting at their familiar seats.
Zhou Kai also led his beloved in and got him seated at one of the two empty seats, after which he got him some drinks and snacks that he knew his sweetheart liked or would like.
This gesture gave the others another shock though this time they managed to control their expressions.
'It seems like Boss is trying to get along with Pres.' Wu Longnian said with his eyes.
'Or maybe he's trying to distract Pres, so that he can be the only top student?' Li Zhen countered.
'Doesn't matter which one it is, since Boss is treating Pres so carefully than we ought to follow him and do the same!' Qiao Mingyu asserted.
'But isn't this a bit too immoral?' Wu Longnian remarked.
The three of them saw the same look of hesitation in each other's eyes and quietly vowed in their hearts to help Pres solve any future problems.
Qin Weisheng saw their conversation and silently shook his head as he sighed in his heart.
These morons don't understand anything. I'll have to make they don't anger Boss too much and get killed in the future. I'll also have to make sure they don't offend the Boss's wife in the future.
Just thinking about having to save these idiots from the Boss's anger in the future almost made him sigh once again.
His future looked bleak but alas! who made him their friend? He's just gonna have to save them.
Qin Weisheng's gaze swept over Qiao Mingyu who was somewhat guiltily munching on his snacks while tapping away at his keyboard.
….He should ask Boss for advice on how he won over Pres.
He then glanced at Zhou Kai who was helping Xie Yang set up an account. The desk was full of snacks and drinks that Xie Yang likes and thought, 'Maybe I'm better off asking Pres for some tips instead.'
Meanwhile, Zhou Kai completed setting up the account for his beloved and asked, "Pres, have you played any games before?"
"Not really." Xie Yang denied as he shook his head.
"That's alright, we usually play XXX. Would you like to teach me you the basics or would you like to try on your own?" Zhou Kai gently questioned.
"I'd really appreciate it, if you taught me Kai." Xie Yang answered with a smile.
"Of course, Pres." Zhou Kai agreed and patiently explained.
Once he was done explaining, they all put on their headsets, logged in and randomly matched with a team.
"Don't worry Pres! We will cover for you so you can just explore if you want!" Wu Longnian announced trying to lessen the guilt in his heart.
This was seconded by everyone else and they all started the match.
Xie Yang took it easy, just exploring the map, following behind the team. He glanced at everyone's gamer ID and saw his husband's ID was "Admiring Victory". He couldn't help but giggle at this.
"What's up, Pres? Something funny?" Li Zhen asked, confused. He didn't remember anything worth laughing being on this map.
"Nope, Nothing. Just enjoying myself. This is really fun." Xie Yang lied through his teeth.
Everyone thought this may be Pres's first time playing games and thus. believed his reaction to be normal.
No wonder, he was amused by the graphics and playing mechanics.
"Isn't your husband too sappy? Using the homophones of your names together, you guys aren't even dating!"Leo remarked disgusted.
'What sappy? This is cute! Although the name position is a off.' Xie Yang shot back.
"Shit! You're right! Hahahaha! It seems your husband wants to be the 0! You should fulfill his wish." Leo laughed until his (nonexistent) stomach hurt.
Xie Yang tuned out his laughing, focusing on the game as they ran into the enemy team. The others immediately surrounded him, making a protective circle.
"What's up? Did a wealthy young master pay to be carried through the game?" One of the enemy team member sarcastically commented.
"Or maybe he agreed to sleep with them as payment! Hahahaha!" Another member added jeeringly as they took their position and started shooting.
Zhou Kai's team escorted Xie Yang to a safer position before countering the bullets with matching enthusiasm.
After, they had gained the upper hand, Zhou Kai commented in an icy tone.
"He has both the financial and physical assets to make it worthwhile either way. Unlike you guys, who are both poor and ugly."
This seemed to infuriate the others as they fired back with renewed vigor.
"Can I help you guys shoot too?" Xie Yang asked innocently.
"Yes, Pres. Go ahead." Zhou Kai replied in gentle tone though his hand firing the bullets didn't pause for even a second.
Xie Yang unwrapped a lollipop and popped it in his mouth before moving to another side of the map.
"Pres, it might not be safe there. Make sure to stay far away from the battle- Fuck! I'm dead!" Wu Longnian warned which turned to cursing halfway.
Li Zhen and Qiao Mingyu gave him the side before dying one after the other.
"Alright, I'll take care." Xie Yang casually replied.
The enemy team was more skilled than they had expected and soon, Qin Weisheng was out as well. Now all of them were focused on Zhou Kai's counter when all of a sudden they see a flurry of announcements on the screen.
"LittleBean52, has been killed by Moonlit Victory."
"DragonLord67, has been killed by Moonlit Victory."
"BigOrange980, has been killed by Moonlit Victory."
"StupidCookie520, has been killed by Moonlit Victory."
"AlwaysLate932, has been killed by Moonlit Victory."
Moonlit Victory was Xie Yang's gamer ID. They all slowly turned their heads to face Xie Yang when the final call rung out.
"Lovely1, has been killed by Moonlit Victory. Congratulations for winning the game!"
"…."
After an uncomfortable amount of silence, Xie Yang looked around, confused.
"Something wrong, guys?"
