Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

Chapter 149 Who Has Been Plotting Against Whom for a Long Time

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Yiting felt a little uneasy under her gaze.

"It's nothing." Huang Ruowei rested her chin on her hand, her gaze sweeping over Tingting's face. "It's just that, Tingting, you seem a little different than before."

"Different?" Jiang Yiting paused for a moment, then subconsciously glanced down at herself. "How is it different?"

"Hmm, it's hard to say."

Huang Ruowei touched her chin and thought for a moment: "You seem more relaxed."

"Um?"

"Do you remember when we were learning to skateboard in school?"

"I remember? What's wrong?"

"Of the people in our dorm, you seem the most carefree and indifferent to everything from the outside." Huang Ruowei paused, her tone becoming slightly more serious. "But those who really know you know that you are the most competitive and the most independent among us."

So, as we were learning to skateboard, some of us gave up altogether, and others only tried it superficially for a while. But you persisted and became the best at it.

Jiang Yiting paused for a moment.

Several years of roommate relationship have indeed allowed the group to get to know each other well.

Huang Ruowei's understanding of her is indeed quite accurate.

"But now when I look at you, you still have that high ponytail, but you feel completely different. It's like you have someone to rely on—" Huang Ruowei's gaze went past the high ponytail behind her head and landed on Chen Bainian, who was carrying plates back from the stall.

She frowned, then corrected herself: "No, to be more precise, it's like finding someone to walk alongside."

At the end, she smiled mischievously and lightly touched her lips with her finger: "And, I've even learned how to put on makeup."

Jiang Yiting watched her movements and subconsciously pursed her lips.

That slight swelling sensation is still there.

She was a little afraid to look Huang Ruowei in the eye, as if she could see through her gaze, and looked down at her phone again.

Looking at her like this, Huang Ruowei became even more certain of her suspicions.

However, she didn't continue to tease Jiang Yiting.

Chen Bainian just happened to walk back to the table with the plate.

"By the way, Siyu said she's getting married next New Year's Day. You guys should have time to go, right?" She looked up at Chen Bainian, who had just put down the plate. "I heard Siyu's boyfriend is Mr. Chen's roommate?"

"Yeah, my college roommate."

"That's quite a coincidence."

Changing the subject, Jiang Yiting finally calmed down and looked up: "Siyu and Chen Xu's wedding date has been set?"

"Yes, she was chatting in the group just now. You should be able to see it if you scroll back a bit." Huang Ruowei took the salted egg yolk shumai and savory soy milk that Chen Bainian handed her. "Thank you."

"I saw it." Jiang Yiting did as she was told and indeed found the record left in the group chat, "You have to get engaged first."

"Well, they're from the same place, so they probably followed local customs."

Chen Bainian listened quietly to the food on the plates and brought it to the table.

We ordered two baskets of shumai, one with salted egg yolk filling and the other a mix of other flavors.

I also ordered a small bowl of dry-mixed wontons and a small plate of four pan-fried buns.

I also ordered a bowl each of savory soy milk and rice cake tea.

Jiang Yiting also reached out to help him arrange the food, then casually took two clean dipping sauce dishes from the plate, one for herself and one for Chen Bai.

I prepared two dipping sauces with different levels of spiciness that year.

Huang Ruowei, who was sitting across from her, had just taken a sip of soy milk when she looked up and saw the two of them working together silently and in perfect unison. She smiled silently.

Okay, I knew I was going to have to witness this dog food anyway.

"How many years have Siyu and her boyfriend been dating?" she asked casually, while also observing the subtle interactions between the two.

"Eight years." Jiang Yiting took a bite of the salted egg yolk and pork shumai that she had recommended, dipped it in the sauce, and her eyes lit up. "Delicious."

Then she turned to Chen Bainian and said, "Little brother, you should try it too."

"Mmm." Chen Bainian nodded and picked one up to try.

"It's quite delicious."

"So, did I bring you to the wrong place?"

"To truly experience local snacks, you have to go with the locals," Jiang Yiting said gently.

After finishing the whole shumai, she remembered something else and continued to share with Huang Ruowei: "Speaking of which, Siyu and Chen Xu have been dating for eight years, but she told me privately last time that she had been planning this for a long time."

Then, Jiang Yiting turned to Chen Bainian and said, "You, remember not to tell Chen Xu."

"Okay." Chen Bainian smiled helplessly. "But how do you know Chen Xu doesn't know?"

"Anyway, you're not allowed to tell anyone."

Looking at her earnest expression, Chen Bainian nodded slowly and assured her, "Don't worry, even if Chen Xu finds out, it definitely wasn't me who told him."

Huang Ruowei smiled and gently interrupted the two, "So what about you two? How did you meet? And who was plotting against whom?"

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

"We've only known each other for a little over two months, how could it be a premeditated scheme?" Jiang Yiting took the topic frankly.

"As for how we met—" Jiang Yiting paused slightly and gestured with her chin toward the cat carrier next to Huang Ruowei.

"We have to thank it for that."

To be specific, it's a bit complicated. Basically, there's a kid in my neighborhood who mistakenly thought I'd stolen this little stray, and I just happened to run into him.

"Oh?" Huang Ruowei turned her head and glanced at the blue-eyed black cat in the cat carrier. "It's quite cute. What's its name?"

"Big brother," Chen Bainian replied.

"Big Brother?" Huang Ruowei asked in surprise, "Why did you choose such a name?"

"Big Brother really did choose the right name." Jiang Yiting pouted. "Don't let its well-behaved appearance fool you. It used to drive us crazy, acting like a little cat master."

Huang Ruowei smiled and said, "You two met like that? And what happened next?"

"Later? Later I found out that he happened to be my new neighbor, so we raised the cat together and worked together on game promotions. That's how we got to know each other."

"Yeah, and he would knock on my door late at night asking me to cook wontons, and he often came to my house for meals." Chen Bainian quietly added, undermining his earlier comment.

"Hahaha." Huang Ruowei burst out laughing. "This is the kind of thing you, Jiang Yiting, would do, just like you inviting me to breakfast."

"Go away." Jiang Yiting was a little embarrassed and gently nudged Chen Bainian with her elbow. "I provided the wontons. I often help out when I'm eating here, okay?"

Chen Bainian smiled and said nothing more.

Huang Ruowei, sitting opposite, silently drank a large mouthful of salty soy milk, swallowing this dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

"Oh, right, Weiwei." After taking a few more bites, Jiang Yiting looked up at Huang Ruowei across from her. "I just saw the chat history in the group chat. You said your company is interested in investing in Changshou Games?"
