On the first day of school, the school beauty in black stockings took me to a hotel.

As she finished speaking, her voice grew softer and softer.

Looking at her timid yet coquettish appearance, Liu Yu felt extremely satisfied.

He reached out and pinched Su Wanqing's cheek: "Alright, I'll let you off the hook for now, for the sake of the hot pot."

After saying that, he straightened up and continued preparing the hot pot ingredients.

Soon, the broth boiled, the red oil bubbling and releasing a spicy aroma.

Liu Yu laid out various ingredients on the coffee table: fatty beef, tripe, beef aorta, shrimp paste, duck intestines, honeycomb tripe, baby bok choy, enoki mushrooms, lotus root slices, potatoes... a dazzling array, filling the coffee table to the brim.

There were also brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, crispy fried pork, and ice jelly on the side...

He opened two bottles of chilled beer and poured them into a glass.

"Alright, let's eat." Liu Yu sat down next to Su Wanqing and handed her the chopsticks.

Su Wanqing's eyes lit up when she smelled the fragrance.

She took the chopsticks, picked up a slice of fatty beef, dipped it in the hot oil, and as soon as it changed color, she scooped it out, rolled it in a dish of sesame oil and minced garlic, blew on it, and put it in her mouth.

"Ugh!!!"

She squinted her eyes and let out a long sigh: "I'm alive! I'm alive again!"

Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

"You don't understand! For someone who's 'physically exhausted,' this piece of meat is a life-saving elixir!"

Liu Yu smiled and shook his head, then started eating as well.

The two of them ate for a while, which filled their stomachs and slightly relieved their hunger.

Su Wanqing then picked up her beer glass.

"Come on! Let's celebrate!"

Liu Yu also raised his glass and clinked it against hers: "What are we celebrating?"

Su Wanqing looked at him and said earnestly, "To celebrate... becoming your woman."

After she finished speaking, she was a little embarrassed, but she still looked bravely at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu's tone was equally serious: "Then I'll celebrate... becoming your man too."

The two glasses clinked gently together, the two men smiled at each other, and then tilted their heads back to take a big gulp of ice-cold beer.

Su Wanqing put down her glass, licked her lips, and said, "Awesome! Hot pot and beer, perfect!"

After eating for a while, Su Wanqing spoke again: "Do you think that singing competition will require singing some difficult songs?"

Liu Yu thought for a moment: "My voice is alright, I'm probably more suited to singing ballads and folk songs. It depends on the competition requirements. If all else fails..."

He looked at Su Wanqing and joked, "If all else fails, why don't you go up and dance for me? Wear those black stockings from last night and I guarantee the judges will all give you full marks."

"Liu Yu!!!" Su Wanqing grabbed a cushion and threw it at him. "Can't you be serious for once! We're talking about serious matters!"

Liu Yu laughed as he caught the cushion: "I'm being very serious. Even a honey trap is a trap, one of the Thirty-Six Stratagems."

"What are you talking about!" Su Wanqing rolled her eyes at him, then couldn't help but laugh. "But seriously, if you need me, I can definitely be your backup dancer. Although I'm an amateur dancer, I can still give you some support."

She said this with a serious look in her eyes, and she wasn't joking.

Liu Yu's heart skipped a beat. He put down his chopsticks and took her hand. "No need. Just sit in the audience, watch me, and cheer me on. With you there, I have endless motivation."

Su Wanqing felt a sweet warmth in her heart: "Of course, I have to go! I'll also drag Wang Qian, Jiang Shan, Du Peng, and the others along to form a super cheering squad for you!"

The two ate hotpot, drank beer, watched a comedy variety show on TV, and chatted casually.

The hot pot was refilled twice, and most of the ingredients on the table were eaten, plus several empty beer bottles.

Su Wanqing's cheeks were slightly flushed from drinking, and her eyes were a little glazed. She leaned on Liu Yu's shoulder, watching Teng Ge's variety show on TV and giggling.

Liu Yu put his arm around her, and, infected by her exaggerated laughter, he laughed along with her.

We ate this hot pot meal from dusk until it was completely dark outside, a full two hours.

When Su Wanqing finally put down her chopsticks and slumped contentedly on the sofa, the lights of thousands of homes were already twinkling outside the window.

"Ah... I'm so full... I can't eat anymore... I feel alive again!"

Liu Yu had almost finished eating and was cleaning up the table.

Looking at Su Wanqing's languid appearance, he couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair.

"It's good that you're alive. Someone was almost 'on the verge of death' just now."

Su Wanqing slapped his hand away: "That's all your fault! But for the sake of this hotpot, this princess will forgive you for now."

Liu Yu smiled and didn't argue with her.

He packed up the trash, put it at the door, and when he came back, he saw Su Wanqing scrolling through her phone.

"What are you looking at?"

"Scrolling through WeChat Moments. Seeing if anything interesting happened today... Oh! Du Peng posted an update!"

She turned her phone screen towards Liu Yu.

"My first huge sum of money ever! Thank you, sister-in-law! Thank you, basketball! Thank you, parents, for making me so tall! [doge emoji] [doge emoji] [doge emoji]"

There are already a bunch of comments below.

Wang Qian: "[Cleaver][Cleaver][Cleaver] Du Peng, I'm warning you, try wasting this money!"

Zhao Zhiwei: "Brother Peng, can I have some?"

Zhang Chunli: "I want to too..."

Su Wanqing laughed so hard she collapsed onto the sofa: "Du Peng, that clown..."

Liu Yu also smiled and shook his head.

He sat down next to Su Wanqing and put his arm around her: "Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, what's next? Watch a movie? Or..."

Su Wanqing leaned against him, thought for a moment, and then her eyes lit up: "Let's play some games! It's been so long since we played games together!"

Since the start of the basketball training camp, the two of them have rarely had time to focus on playing video games.

I only log on occasionally, play a couple of games, and then log off.

"Sure. Perfect timing, let's go to your gaming room. I haven't tried your '50,000 yuan' computer yet."

Su Wanqing scrambled up from the sofa: "Then I must show you! Come on! This princess will take you flying!"

The two arrived at the e-sports room.

The room wasn't big, but it was decorated in a very high-tech style.

Dark walls, RGB ambient lighting strips, and two black gaming chairs.

Su Wanqing turned on her computer, and the screen lit up instantly. The wallpaper was a photo of her and Liu Yu in Hanfu taken in Chang'an, full of ancient charm.

"How about it? This setup, this environment, professional, right?"

Su Wanqing sat down, skillfully put on her headphones, and proudly gestured with her chin towards Liu Yu.

Liu Yu sat down in the chair next to her and turned on his phone.

The computer's response speed is indeed extremely fast, opening almost instantly.

He checked the specifications and found that they were indeed top-of-the-line CPU, graphics card, and memory.

"That's impressive, Boss Su. That's quite an investment."

"Of course! When it comes to games, the equipment has to be maxed out! Otherwise, how can I lead His Majesty to victory? What should we play? Dota 2 or PUBG?"

"Let's play Dota 2, it's been a while since I've played. It'll be a good opportunity to see if I've gotten rusty."

The two logged into the game, and Liu Yu casually sent a message in the e-sports club's WeChat group.

[Liu Yu: Anyone want to play DOTA2 together? We're missing three out of five, waiting online, urgent.]
