At the end of the award ceremony, members of the e-sports club naturally gave warm cheers to the five victorious players.
Han Shuyan didn’t like the excitement, so Lin Cheng directly rejected An Shengyan’s dinner invitation.
As for the distribution of championship prizes, although there has never been any experience in winning championships, the e-sports club already had regulations in this regard when it was established.
20% of the championship team prize money will be allocated to the e-sports club’s activity funds, and the rest will be divided equally among the players participating in the event. Lin Cheng’s additional MVP bonus of 1 million won will all belong to the individual.
In any case, Lin Cheng doesn't have to worry about it, he can just wait for the bonus from Shinhan Bank to arrive.
Sitting in the front seat of the taxi, looking at the slowly receding lights on the roadside outside the window, Lin Cheng couldn't help but turn around and ask:
“Hey! Did I look like a fool when I was holding the sign on stage just now?”
“You have to be more confident.”
Xiao Tong reached out and patted Lin Cheng on the shoulder, "The word 'like' is not used very accurately."
Lin Cheng: "·····"
“Nuna, tell me.”
Lin Cheng slapped Xiao Tong's hand away and looked at Han Shuyan, with the words "please comfort" almost written on his face.
“It’s okay, Ah Cheng is very handsome.” Han Shuyan was very serious.
Lin Cheng grinned and felt comfortable.
After a while, Xiao Tong reached out and poked Lin Cheng's shoulder in front of him.
“Lin Cheng.”
"what?"
Lin Cheng's tone was foul, and he was still thinking about Xiao Tong calling him a fool.
“Look, you got such a big bonus this time, why don’t you forget about my two cups of milk tea?”
“Don’t even think about it.”
Lin Cheng refused, "Besides, it's the same thing. I'm a very principled person. The milk tea you agreed on is your apology. At worst, I'll treat you to dinner. Just tell me what you want to eat."
“Then you invite me to have dinner at the Yunjing Restaurant in the 63 Building.” Xiao Tongli said loudly.
Lin Cheng changed his mind decisively, "I thought about it carefully. Since Comrade Lao Xiao has deeply realized his mistakes and has the courage to admit them, let's forget the two cups of milk tea. What does our relationship have to do with each other? Don't make false claims.
It’s crazy.”
What is the principle? What is the bottom line?
Brother Cheng’s bottom line is that there is no bottom line.
Han Shuyan turned to look out the window, silently listening to the conversation between the two, but the lights flashing outside the window exposed the smile on her lips.
The next day, Lin Cheng was originally going to curl up under the quilt and sleep in, but was woken up early by Xiao Tong's phone call.
“What are you doing?” Lin Cheng’s tone was not very good in a daze.
“Snow, so heavy snow, Lin Cheng, it snowed last night!”
Lin Cheng glanced out the window and saw a vast expanse of white. Thick snow covered the roads and lawns of the community, and fine snowflakes were still floating in the sky.
As a southerner, Xiao Tong has not seen snow a few times since she was a child, and girls seem to be particularly yearning for things that are easily associated with romance.
Even though South Korea is very cold in winter, it actually rarely snows in Seoul. This is the first time Xiao Tong has seen such heavy snow.
“It snows, it snows. Why are you shouting? It’s rare to see it, but it’s weird.”
Lin Cheng muttered twice, complaining that Xiao Tong disturbed his sleep.
Sichuan handsome pot Lin Cheng, like Xiao Tong, has never seen snowing a few times, but he doesn't have any expectations for snowy days either.
It’s cold and the roads are slippery, so I can’t look at girls yet. I’m so excited.
“It’s snowing! Sister Shuyan and I will go to the community to build a snowman after dinner. Will you go?”
“If you don’t go, you won’t go.”
Lin Cheng decisively refused, threw down the phone and prepared to get into bed and continue sleeping.
After huddled in the quilt for a few seconds, Lin Cheng suddenly kicked off the quilt and stood up to put it away while cursing.
“With such heavy snow, that stupid cat won’t be frozen to death, right?”
After finishing cleaning up, Lin Cheng opened the cupboard, took out a half-empty bag of cat food, and muttered out the door.
“It’s so cold. If the snow melts, someone will freeze to death?”
The snow on the ground below the apartment building was so deep that it was almost ankle-deep when one stepped on it. The snow on the lawn was about to get even deeper. There were already several little furry children wrapped in rice dumplings playing on the snow, extremely excited.
“Uncle! Come and play with us.” A little fat man greeted Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng smiled and waved his hand. He basically knew all the little kids in the community. Xiao Tong usually bought some candies to amuse these little guys.
It is said that Korean men are uncles after graduating from high school. Lin Cheng also did not escape the fate of being called uncle by these little brats, even though he explained several times that he was Chinese and they should call him brother.
However, what bothers Lin Cheng is that the children call him uncle, but call Xiao Tong and Han Shuyan sister.
The snow was already very light now, and Lin Cheng didn't hold an umbrella, so he walked to the door one step at a time, and got on the school bus to the Central Library.
“Where did this melon-skinned cat go?”
After getting out of the car, Lin Cheng walked slowly along the snow-cleared road, looking around as he walked.
There was a black car parked on the path beside the library. A woman in a coat squatted by the tree, stretched out her hand and tentatively approached a white figure under the tree.
“Nabi, don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person,”
It was a short-legged cat whose back was covered with snowflakes, and its original color could no longer be seen. The cat squatted on the ground and gnawed on the dried fish on the ground, while looking at the woman warily.
Seeing the woman approaching, it dropped the dried fish, leaned down and let out a threatening growl, and slowly retreated as the other party approached.
But it can be clearly seen that the cat’s body is constantly shaking.
Seeing the cat's reaction, the woman held her chin up in frustration, "I want to help you. It's such a cold day and you won't be able to survive school holidays."
She has been in a stalemate with this cat for more than ten minutes. Every time she wants to get close to the cat, she avoids it, but it refuses to run away.
“Don’t run away, go home with your sister.”
The woman was persevering and prepared to go up to show her goodwill again, but the guy grinned, waved his short legs, and slapped the woman's hand away.
Fortunately, it hit the cuff of the coat, and its claws did not scratch the woman's hand.
The woman was very sad, “Why don’t you understand?”
"Hey! Have you been scratched?" Lin Cheng, who happened to be walking from the opposite side of the path, couldn't help but shout.
"Um?"
The woman turned around and glanced at Lin Cheng, subconsciously raised the collar of her coat and hid half of her face in the collar.
“No, no, not scratched.”
“Meow~~~”
As soon as the short-legged cat saw Lin Cheng, it immediately meowed, took two steps with its short legs and squatted down to his feet, meowing.
Lin Cheng picked up the cat's neck and looked at it carefully, then gently patted the snowflakes covering the cat's head and back, revealing its original color.
The cat is a little smaller than the average adult cat, with light gray patterns, a round head, short legs and a tail hanging down in the air.
Seeing that the cat with a fierce grin on its face before was held obediently by Lin Cheng, the woman was curious: "Are you its owner?"
“No, this guy is a stray cat.”
Lin Cheng squatted down, put down the cat in his hand, and poured the cat food into the plastic bowl.
“Eat quickly, and I’ll find you a place to hide from the snow. You probably haven’t seen snow since you were born. You’re lucky if you didn’t freeze to death last night.”
“Meow~~~”
The cat meowed and leaned forward to eat.
The woman also squatted down, and now the collar of her coat could no longer cover it, revealing her fair and delicate chin.
Lin Cheng glanced at her and thought she was quite beautiful.
It looks a bit familiar, as if I’ve seen it somewhere.
