The King's Avatar: The Beginning of One Autumn Leaf!

Chapter 21: Breaking into the All-Star Top Ten! (3k chapter)

"So, you are the blind date introduced by Uncle Wang?" Gu Ming asked, holding the coffee in front of him, which was still steaming.

"Yes. Let me correct you. He is my uncle." Chu Yunxiu nodded.

"My family is pressuring me to get married?"

"Ah."

"Should we continue?" Gu Ming asked, looking at her straight.

Chu Yunxiu did not dodge, but thought about this problem seriously.

Now that I know that the blind date partner is Gu Ming who is sitting in front of me, then... should I continue the blind date?

If I continue... it will inevitably feel a bit weird. After all, we are all in the same circle. It's awkward to see each other every time we look up...

If I don’t continue...if I go home so early, my parents will definitely blame me...!
After thinking for a while, Chu Yunxiu took the initiative to suggest: "... Let's go out for a walk? It will be easier for me to report back when I get back."

"Okay, drink first and then leave."

The two quickly finished their coffee, and then Gu Ming took the initiative to pay the bill - after all, it's not common to let the woman pay on a blind date, and besides, the two knew each other, so it was natural for him to pay.

Generally speaking, the success of a blind date depends on the performance of the woman.

If she takes the initiative to go Dutch, then this blind date is basically a failure. If she doesn't mention it... then congratulations, the blind date is half successful.

Chu Yunxiu didn't mention AA, but said: "How about I treat you to milk tea again next time."

"Okay." Gu Ming agreed readily.

However, he guessed that Chu Yunxiu did not mention the money because of their "colleague" relationship.

But no matter what, Gu Ming was still grateful that she thought so much about him.

After all, if a man lets a woman pay, it's almost the same as being slapped in the face! At least that's what Gu Ming thinks.

After leaving the store, the two of them walked aimlessly on the curb, chatting intermittently.

However, Chu Yunxiu and Gu Ming tacitly did not mention the blind date again. They both acknowledged that there was no such thing, and agreed that after tonight, no one would mention it and pretend that nothing had happened.

After walking for a while, Gu Ming looked at the time and it was already 9:03. In addition, this area was a bit remote, so there were almost no pedestrians on the road at this time...

Gu Ming felt that the time was about right, so he said, "It's getting late. Let's walk for another five minutes and then go back. You should be able to report back by then."

Chu Yunxiu said "hmm" and nodded.

Gu Ming raised his head and looked at the endless darkness. Suddenly, a strange idea popped into his mind.

According to the plot of the novel, shouldn't there be a sudden downpour at this time, and the brave male protagonist takes off his coat to shield the female protagonist from the rain, and then the two of them jog in the rain, run under the eaves together to shelter from the rain, and their feelings quickly heat up?

Okay, this plot seems a bit cliché...

I, Gu Ming, am not such a clichéd person!
When Comrade Gu Ming was criticizing himself in his heart,
A small drop of water fell silently above my head. Then two, three...

Almost in the blink of an eye, the small drops of water developed into heavy rain.

Swish swish! !

Gu Ming was stunned.

No...it's really right?
Am I the protagonist?

Without time to think, Gu Ming subconsciously took off his coat and put it on his head. Chu Yunxiu also subconsciously came in. Everything was so natural, just like a movie plot that had been rehearsed in advance.

What a coincidence! This coat is just big enough for Gu Ming and Chu Yunxiu.

The two of them ran all the way back until they returned to the coffee shop.

Luckily the coffee shop was still open!

"Phew, that was close!" Gu Ming smiled as he walked into the store. Although his coat was soaked, fortunately neither he nor Chu Yunxiu got wet.

"Fortunately, this coat is thick and not wet inside, so it can still be worn." Gu Ming asked the clerk for some paper and wiped the wet coat while speaking. He didn't notice that Chu Yunxiu's face beside him had changed subtly.

At this moment, Chu Yunxiu's heart was beating fast.

I just... shared a coat with him to avoid the rain?

Isn't this a plot that only happens in soap operas? How did it happen to me?
The drama I watched yesterday... had a similar plot! How come it happened to me today?

Chu Yunxiu was so preoccupied with thoughts that she didn't even notice a blush on her cheeks.

Chu Yunxiu's blushing face looked very pretty under the dim light of the coffee shop.

At this moment, Gu Ming wiped his coat and glanced casually, just in time to see Chu Yunxiu's blushing face.

He froze for a moment.

Gu Ming suddenly recalled the faint body fragrance that automatically entered his nose when he was hiding from the rain with Chu Yunxiu just now.

Facing such a beautiful woman, it would be a lie to say that you are not moved. Which man can guarantee that he is not moved by a beautiful woman?
At this time, Chu Yunxiu also noticed Gu Ming's fiery gaze, and her face turned even redder, like a ripe apple. She lowered her head, and for a moment she was a little at a loss...

Imagine if a woman who likes to watch soap operas suddenly experienced the same plot as in the drama one day, wouldn't she be moved? And Chu Yunxiu has never been in a relationship!
Plus, Gu Ming is naturally handsome, which fits the look of a male lead in a soap opera very well!

For a moment, the atmosphere in the air became subtle, a little awkward, and a little... ambiguous.

Gu Ming glanced at her calmly again and found that Chu Yunxiu's face was still red...

Although Gu Ming is still single in this life, he was in love in his previous life. His girlfriend... oh no, it should be said that her ex-girlfriend blushed like this every time she was shy.

Could it be... there is hope?
Gu Ming was half-believing and half-doubting. But he was not 100% sure. What if the other person was blushing because he had just been caught in the rain?
Gu Ming coughed lightly, pretending nothing had happened, and asked, "Wait until the rain stops a little, can I get you a taxi back?"

"Well, okay...but what about you?" Chu Yunxiu said in a soft voice.

"I, I'll sleep on the street tonight."

"Ah?" Chu Yunxiu was stunned.

"I'm kidding. The hotel I booked is nearby. When the rain stops, we can just run back." Gu Ming said with a smile. "I almost thought you really wanted to sleep on the street." Chu Yunxiu also smiled.

A joke made the slightly awkward atmosphere disappear.

After a while, the rain really got lighter, Gu Ming took a taxi, watched Chu Yunxiu get in, then put on his coat and ran back to the hotel.

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Gu Ming sent a message to Uncle Wang: "Uncle Wang, everything went well."

In order to avoid catching a cold, Gu Ming quickly took off his clothes and took a bath in the bathtub.

It is easy to catch a cold after getting caught in the rain! Gu Ming does not want to miss any game because of a minor illness like a cold!
After coming out of the bath, Uncle Wang hadn't replied to the message yet. Gu Ming thought he must have fallen asleep.

Just as he was about to go to bed, a WeChat message came in. He clicked on it and saw:
"are you asleep?"

Then he looked at the contact person again—Chu Yunxiu.

Gu Ming instantly perked up and replied, "No, I just finished taking a shower."

The other party quickly sent another message: "Well, how much was the taxi fare just now?"

"No, it's a small matter."

Gu Ming has Chu Yunxiu's contact information. After all, they are both captain-level figures!

There was silence for a moment, then he asked, "Are you going back to H City tomorrow? I'll treat you to dinner."

"Okay." Gu Ming agreed immediately.

As for returning to H City? He was not in a hurry, after all, he had a full 7 days of vacation.

"It's a deal then. Good night and go to bed early." Chu Yunxiu sent the last message.

"Yeah, you too, good night." Gu Ming replied, then closed his phone and soon fell asleep.

The next day, Gu Ming went out as promised. He first had a meal with Chu Yunxiu, and then accompanied her shopping in a nearby shopping mall.

It turns out that time flies by very quickly when you are with a beautiful woman. A day goes by in a flash!
Soon it was time to say goodbye. As night fell, Gu Ming knew he had to go back. He bought a plane ticket back to H City tonight.

"Be careful on the road." Chu Yunxiu sent him to the high-speed railway station.

"Yeah, the same thing when you go back." Gu Ming waved his hand and followed him into the ticket gate of the high-speed railway station - just like when he came here, he had to take the high-speed train to Beijing N first, and then take a plane back to H City.

Chu Yunxiu stood in the crowd, watching him leave until Gu Ming completely disappeared from her sight.

Somehow, watching Gu Ming leave, Chu Yunxiu felt a sense of loneliness.

Perhaps it’s because he has never been in love before, so after tasting the sweetness for the first time, a factor called hormone was produced!
Shaking her head, Chu Yunxiu tried to control herself from thinking about it. She crossed the road and took a taxi back home.

As soon as she entered the house, Wang Yi and Chu Feiju came up to her, looking at her expectantly, muttering, "Daughter, where did you go to play today? You played until so late."

Chu Yunxiu ran back to her room as fast as a fly, "I don't want to listen, Wang Yi is reciting the sutra."

"Hey, you kid!" Wang Yi said unhappy, but he was actually very happy.

She and Chu Feiju looked at each other and understood what each other meant.

It seems that this boy has won the heart of our daughter!

……

On the train.

Gu Ming looked at the All-Star Ranking List——

no.14…Gu Ming! !

Compared to last time... it has risen by five places!!
Last time I checked, it was No.19, but today it has jumped to No.14! This speed is like riding a rocket!

This also shows the huge size of Jia Shi fans!

You know, Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng have already been sent into the top ten by them, and now they can even let Gu Ming rush to the 14th place. How big a fan base must be needed to achieve this!

However... these 14 names seem a bit unlucky...

Never mind, I can’t get higher for a while, so 14 is 14…

Just as Gu Ming was about to turn off his phone and take a nap, an announcement popped up. This announcement instantly spread throughout the Honor Circle!

——In view of the fact that player Ye Qiu has retired, the official Glory has decided that players who previously voted for Ye Qiu will have another chance to vote!
Within a few seconds, this announcement went viral, and the number of comments in the comment section increased at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Netizen Jia Shi Long Live: I'll go, go! Vote for Captain Gu Ming now!

Netizen One Night Ball: I'm going too! I've always wanted to vote for Captain Gu Ming, but I've already voted for Ye Shen. Now I get another chance to vote, so I must vote for Captain Gu!
Netizen XX: …

...

Gu Ming looked through the comment section and found that most of them were comments from Jia Shi fans, and most of the comments were about voting for him.

This scene warmed his heart.

My status in the hearts of Jia Shi fans...is getting higher and higher!

I must perform well next time so as not to let down the support of these fans!

But I'd better take a nap now, I'm so sleepy...

Gu Ming closed his phone and was about to fall asleep when he heard his phone vibrate.

? ?
Turning on the screen, there is another blessing message from Honor officials.

——"Dear Captain Gu Ming, congratulations on rising to the 10th place in the All-Star list! I wish you continued success!"

Gu Ming was stunned...

I just said 14th place wasn’t a good number, but in just one announcement, it’s already been raised to 10th place! ?
