Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"What you lose, you will have again sooner or later."

"Don't say you have nothing. At least you still have your sister Zhou and your good friends who care about you."

Bai Yu spoke with the tone of someone who had experienced it. Although his words sounded ordinary and his persuasion was weak, his words were particularly persuasive and empathetic.

Ruan Qingxue could truly feel it.

How could she doubt the words of the boy who risked his life to save her twice in a row?

How could she, how dare she, be so ungrateful?

The girl pursed her lips slightly, carefully reached out her hand, and grabbed the corner of his clothes: "So, we are good friends now?"

Bai Yu was stunned after hearing this. The good friend he was actually talking about was Su Ruoli. After all, Ruan Qingxue and Su Ruoli did have a very good relationship. It was just that it was not easy to change his words and say "you misunderstood" now.

"...If you think it is, then it is."

Let it be, he thought.

After hearing these words, Ruan Qingxue slowly lowered her head, and her fragile and beautiful expression finally brightened slightly, and the coldness in her body and mind was dispelled.

It was as if a hand pulled her out of the dark snow and wind, and light shone on her face.

There was a hole in her heart, and someone immediately filled it. Although the wound was still bleeding and painful, at least it was no longer empty.

"I think I need to sleep for a while..." She closed her eyes tiredly, hiding her wet eyes.

"Then sleep for a while." Bai Yu said, "I'm staying here and not going anywhere."

"Ah."

She closed her eyes, then turned slightly to the side, and soon the sound of even breathing could be heard.

Bai Yu did not move. He looked out the window and took in the scenery around him, but in fact he was focusing on the Chronicle of Heroes and looking at the harvest this time.

Time flows quietly and diligently.

The night grew darker.

Ruan Qingxue woke up after sleeping for a while, opened her eyes, and looked at the boy with hazy vision. She noticed that Bai Yu was thinking about something with his eyes open and his chin supported. His serious posture revealed a calmness and maturity that was not in line with his age. He was silent, but every breath he took was long and slow.

Looking at the other person's appearance, Ruan Qingxue's mood, which had suddenly awakened, calmed down again. She closed her eyes again, and when she felt sleepy, she followed her mood and subconsciously let her body lean over.

Leaning on the other's shoulder, Bai Yu took a look but didn't push away.

Then she fell asleep.

Chapter 105 Childhood sweethearts will not lose

In the morning, Su Ruoli rushed to Changyesi after receiving a call.

As a law-abiding citizen, she was not used to coming to such a place where justice was strictly enforced. Even though she hadn't committed any crime, she felt guilty about not being able to stay.

After going in and out several times, I have gradually become familiar with the route.

Suddenly, a hand patted her shoulder as she was looking around.

"Ah!" Su Ruoli straightened her back in fear: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't peek, I didn't steal, I just came to pick someone up..."

Ai Li looked at her movements and said with a smile, "Don't be so nervous. Chang Ye Si doesn't like good people. Your reaction is so cute, like a cat whose tail is stepped on... I know who you are here to pick up. Come with me."

Su Ruoli thanked him embarrassedly and followed him into Chang Ye Si's family lounge.

When she just walked in, she was still thinking about how to blame the other party for not coming home all night, but as soon as she walked in, her eyes widened.

The scene before her almost made Miss Su's heart and lungs stop.

It’s not that the scene in front of me is so discordant or eye-catching.

But it is too harmonious!

Two boys and girls of similar age fell asleep together, one leaning on the other's shoulder and the other slightly leaning their body, forming a V-shaped composition.

The girl's medium-short hair hung down, and half of the boy's face was covered with the girl's hair.

Young boys and girls of similar age sit together and lean against each other. It is a beautiful picture that no one has the heart to disturb.

A female police officer walked by. She was a very capable and dashing older sister. She glanced at the lounge as she passed by, and immediately her smile changed into a familiar aunt's, with her hands bent over and covering her mouth.

"Oh my, so green..." She seemed to have recalled her youth.

She bumped into it.

Such a harmonious scene fell into Su Ruoli's eyes, but it only made her fair face turn red quickly, her blood pressure rose, and her fists became hard.

The jealousy in his heart is burning fiercely...

This is of course impossible.

Su Ruoli took a deep breath and felt relieved.

How could Miss Ruoli be angry if she was so considerate? And how could she be jealous?

It's just a little bit of unpleasantness... It's really just a very small bit of unpleasantness.

"hiss--!"

Bai Yu suddenly woke up, and a feeling that was not very painful but very stimulating woke him up immediately.

At some point, a small hand had pinched the side of his face and pulled it hard three times.

At first, he thought he was being attacked. He opened his eyes and looked to the side: "Who's attacking?"

Looking closely, I saw a pair of eyes with a faint blue hue.

Bai Yu's gaze met that pretty face with a slightly tense mouth and downturned lips, which seemed to show a little grievance and bad temper.

"Uh……"

Just as he was about to get up, he felt the weight on the other side.

Ruan Qingxue was still leaning on his shoulder, obviously not awake yet.

I had never encountered such a situation in my previous life for more than 20 years. It can be said that this is the first time I have encountered such a situation in two lives. I don’t know how to explain it.

His instinct for survival told him that he had to comfort Su Ruoli as soon as possible, otherwise he would be in trouble in the next few days.

"This..." Bai Yu looked at Miss Ruoli, whose lips drooped even more: "That..."

Su Ruoli blinked and waited for the other party to explain.

Bai Yu hesitated for three seconds but still couldn't think of a more appropriate opening line. He scratched his head and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Su Ruoli gritted her teeth and said word by word: "No! No!"

She turned around and sat down directly, and the chair shook.

Then he stretched out his finger and poked Bai Yu's face: "You are such a piece of wood that you didn't come home at night. You have learned bad habits, haven't you? You are not an adult yet, and you are fooling around outside all night——"

Bai Yu immediately retorted, "That's too much of a stretch to say I was fooling around. I was actually staying at the Changyesi for the entire night. This isn't a karaoke bar. It's really disrespectful to the police officers."

"Anyway—" Su Ruoli coughed, "Ahem! Staying out overnight is against the rules. You should reflect on this!"

"I didn't expect such a sudden incident." Bai Yu scratched his cheek: "I'm already reflecting on it."

"You don't seem sincere at all." Su Ruoli said with empty eyes: "You have to swear to Miss Ruoli that you must go home on time at night and never stay outside."

Bai Yu sighed helplessly: "Your reaction is a bit too big."

"How could I not be a big reaction?" Su Ruoli clenched her fingers. "It's only been a few days, and you've been in the Changye Division again. What if something happens?"

"Even if something really happened, you should have told me first. Would I just ignore Qingxue?"

"I couldn't sleep last night. I was staring at my phone the whole time. Look, my eyes are bloodshot..."

Bai Yu glanced at the other person. There was no trace of blood or fatigue in those beautiful sky-blue eyes. After all, the bloodline of the heroic spirit also helps with staying up late.

"I can see that you are very tired." Bai Yu said against his conscience.

"So..." Su Ruoli raised her pinky finger: "Make a promise with me that you won't do this again, okay?"

Bai Yu was silent for a moment, then asked, "What if I have to work the night shift in the future?"

Su Ruoli gave him a headbutt: "Idiot, why are you still working the night shift when I'm here! At worst, Miss Ruoli can open a company and you can come work for me!"

Bai Yu leaned back, pinched his sore nose, and looked helpless.

He didn't dare to make any promise to Su Ruoli because there were too many things in the future. A mature and reliable adult takes promises very seriously and should not agree to things that he cannot do. Unlike young and impetuous people, adults have to consider many things.

Staying out all night was not a big deal for him, but it was indeed a big deal for young boys and girls who had been living under the rules of compulsory education for ten years. When they were young, too many of them had never tried to stay up late, as if they had to go to bed before midnight, otherwise they would explode.

He couldn't give Su Ruoli a reasonable explanation either, because he also had a secret and had to go out at night.

Since you can't keep your promise, you shouldn't agree to it from the beginning. This is the value that adults should have.

His silence was also an answer.

Just as Su Ruoli was about to say something, a humming sound came from the side.

"Is it dawn?" Ruan Qingxue opened her eyes and sat up in a daze.

She rubbed her eyes.

Although her body felt a little sore, she slept very peacefully this time, so she stretched out her hands to raise them above her head and stretch.

But this action only lasted less than three seconds before stopping. Her body froze in the middle because she saw Su Ruoli sitting next to her, staring at her motionlessly.

Ruan Qingxue immediately lowered her hands guiltily and whispered, "Ruoli, you're here too."

"Well, I received a call from Chang Ye Si. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known about such a dangerous thing that happened yesterday." Su Ruoli didn't bother to blame Ruan Qingxue for using her childhood sweetheart as a pillow. Instead, she whispered, "I also heard about your brother's situation. I'm very sorry."

Ruan Qingxue shook her head. "I've breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to Bai Yu's help and guidance... So, I already owe you two lives."

Bai Yu touched his chin and said, "Indeed, then you have to work harder to pay off your debt."

Ruan Qingxue chuckled: "I don't worry about having too much debt."

The atmosphere is as harmonious as ever.

Su Ruoli's eyes wandered back and forth for a moment, but she didn't step forward to interrupt. The smart girl chose to start a new topic and join the conversation herself: "What are your plans next?"

"I still have to continue reading. Let's take care of my brother's funeral first." Ruan Qingxue replied, "Luckily, there's a family cemetery. I just need to buy a tombstone and an urn."

"Do you need any help?"

"No need. I've already caused you enough trouble. Besides, these things still have to be handled by family members themselves." Ruan Qingxue thought for a moment and said, "I'll probably take two days off and then go back to school. There are only less than three months left until the college entrance examination."

"What about finances?" Bai Yu asked, "Are you feeling any pressure?"

Ruan Qingxue stood up, patted herself, and smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes before replying dignifiedly, "With the scholarship, it shouldn't be a big problem. I also have odd jobs. If I really have to eat dirt, I will also lower my face and ask for help. After all, creditors won't let those who owe them starve to death, right?"

Bai Yu gave a thumbs up and said, "Sure. If you can't afford to eat one day, come to me and I'll go to the lottery shop and scratch lottery tickets to support you."

Su Ruoli patted his back: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and changed his words, "Then I'll go to the marble shop and play Pachinko to support you..."

Su Ruoli patted his back again and emphasized, "Do you also want to become a Fusang useless person? Also, no gambling!"

Bai Yu thought to himself, you know nothing about the guaranteed bottom rule... I can lose nine games in a row, but as long as I go all in on the tenth game, I will definitely win. All in is a kind of wisdom.

Although he could become a gambling god, Bai Yu basically doesn't touch gambling, especially online gambling. That kind of gambling doesn't even have a guaranteed minimum rule and you can't make money. The only difference is losing a lot or losing a little, and it's all a loss anyway.

Bai Yu has no interest in gambling and only goes to the sports lottery shop to buy scratch cards when he has no pocket money.

When I was in junior high and high school, my pocket money decreased, but I wanted to buy games, so I had to take advantage of this kind of money.

Because his luck was so good, the owner of a sports lottery store near the school would lie on the ground and pretend to have a relapse of appendicitis when he saw him, and announced that he would close the store.

Bai Yu thought at the time, how could this person have five appendectomies in one month? It seems like you are doing it in installments?

After he became an adult, he was not restricted by financial problems because of his good family background and hard work. In addition, the bottom line rule was triggered one after another, so he never encountered the dilemma of lack of money. This may also be related to the fact that he did not have to buy a car or a house.

The same superpower can make one live a comfortable life in another world; but in this world, even self-preservation becomes a problem.

"Oh..." Bai Yu thought of many things in the past and couldn't help but sigh.

Su Ruoli saw his sad expression and felt a subtle misunderstanding. So she reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes. After a lot of internal turmoil and a struggle between her conscience and her conscience, she said, as if making a big concession, "Then...it's okay to go to Paqingge's shop once a week, but no more than once."

Bai Yu: “…………”

The boy stared at the other person in silence.

Miss Su, what brand of waste-making machine do you have?
