Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

Jiang Yiting didn't hesitate and quickly regained her composure, waving towards the car: "Siyu!"

Chen Bainian, on the other hand, was much calmer. He simply said goodbye to Grandpa Qin, who had a knowing smile and an "I understand, I understand" expression, and then followed Jiang Yiting over.

After Chen Bainian got into the car and closed the door, he nodded to the three people inside and said in a calm tone, "Eldest brother, third brother, sister-in-law, it's been a long time."

This was his first meeting with his two brothers since his rebirth.

Before their rebirth, as they grew older, started their own families, and shouldered heavier responsibilities, they had few opportunities to meet.

The last time the three of them gathered together was four years before Chen Bainian's sudden death, when his family suffered a sudden misfortune.

He has never dared to forget, nor could he ever forget, the friendship between the two who helped him so much back then.

"Yeah, it's been a long time!" Chen Xu looked at the two people sitting side by side in the back seat through the rearview mirror, his mouth wide open in a grin.

Ji Siyu in the back row smiled so hard her eyes curved into crescent moons.

The car restarted and joined the weekend morning traffic.

As Grandpa Qin watched the car disappear into the distance, he stroked his non-existent beard, shook his head, and smiled.

As an old man, he was very shrewd. He could clearly see through the events just now, distinguishing between genuine coincidence and premeditated scheme.

The drama between these two young men and their friends is quite amusing.

At this moment, after the brief start-up sound, the atmosphere inside the car fell into a subtle silence, carrying a tacit expectation.

Du Fan turned around first, his arm draped over the back of the chair, a mischievous smile in his eyes, and looked directly at Chen Bainian: "Bainian, aren't you going to introduce him? And this is...?"

Chen Bai cleared his throat lightly, his voice calm and even: "Jiang Yiting, my neighbor."

He then turned to his side, "Teacher Jiang, this is my college roommate, Du Fan, the eldest in our dorm. The driver is Chen Xu, the third oldest; you should already know him."

Chen Bainian and Du Fan had seen Ji Siyu come to see Chen Xu when they were in school, so they naturally recognized each other.

The people in this car who are actually meeting for the first time are Jiang Yiting and Du Fan.

"Oh—neighbor, neighbor, ah—" Ji Siyu also turned around, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Chen Bainian and Jiang Yiting beside her, pronouncing the word "neighbor" with a lot of twists and turns, dragging out the last syllable.

Her eyes practically brimmed with amusement and curiosity. "Are you the kind of neighbors who would coincidentally go downstairs together and happen to be waiting for their friends in the same spot? Such perfect chemistry?"

Chen Xu, who was driving in the front, couldn't hold back any longer. He looked at Chen Bainian through the rearview mirror and said jokingly, "Second brother, that's not very nice of you! You didn't even tell the brothers if something happened? The eldest brother and I were worried about you all alone here, all lonely and with no one to take care of you!"

As he spoke, he glanced unintentionally at Jiang Yiting through the rearview mirror.

Chen Bainian remained expressionless, his tone flat: "Report what? Report that my neighbor and I went downstairs to wait for our respective friends, and then discovered that the world is small, and our friends are a couple?"

Only now did he vaguely recall that he had indeed seen Jiang Yiting as a bridesmaid at Chen Xu and Ji Siyu's wedding in his previous life.

The wedding was next year, and he hadn't yet followed the anchor "Twelfth Floor," so he naturally didn't have a deep impression of that stunningly beautiful face he'd only glimpsed.

Du Fan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Alright, alright, stop teasing them." Chen Xu tried hard to control the corners of his mouth that were turning up wildly, exchanged a look with Ji Siyu through the rearview mirror to signal that they were sticking to the plan, and began to carry out the plan to interrogate them separately.

"Hey, eldest brother and second brother, didn't you two keep saying you wanted to go back to the university? I contacted Old Wang last night, and he said he'd be in the old office this morning."

The weather's nice, let's go back and wander around, reminisce a bit. How about letting the girls find somewhere to play on their own?

Ji Siyu immediately understood and chimed in, "Right, right! Tingting, let those stinky men reminisce about their youth! Let's go stroll around near their school. I know a really quiet cafe there with delicious pastries. Let's go sit down and have a good chat!"

She emphasized the words "have a good chat" and her smile was incredibly bright.

Chen Bainian and Jiang Yiting were both very clever, and they immediately understood the "sinister intentions" of these two guys.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a knowing "I knew it" and a faint amusement in each other's eyes.

"Okay," Chen Bainian said first, his tone as usual, "It's time to go back and take a look."

"I have no objection," Jiang Yiting replied with a smile, but in her mind, she was already rapidly calculating how to deal with her best friend's inevitable barrage of gossipy questions.

As a result, the plan proceeded smoothly.

When the car arrived near Lin'an University of Technology, Chen Xu found a convenient place to park.

Chen Bainian, Jiang Yiting, and Ji Siyu got off the bus in turn.

Chen Xu winked at Ji Siyu, who gave an "OK" sign and then affectionately took Jiang Yiting's arm.

"We're off then! Contact me later." Ji Siyu waved to Chen Xu and the other two.

"Hey, Boss, let's go have some tea with Old Wang!" Chen Xu shouted to Chen Bainian and Du Fan.

Chen Bainian nodded slightly to Jiang Yiting, and then, together with Du Fan, followed Chen Xu toward the familiar gate of the university.

Ji Siyu, on the other hand, couldn't wait to pull Jiang Yiting along and, familiar with the way, turned into a quiet alley lined with sycamore trees, and hurried toward the café that she described as "not crowded, very quiet, and perfect for 'interrogation'... no, for 'heart-to-heart talks'."

Sunlight filtered through the newly sprouted green leaves of the sycamore trees, casting dappled shadows on the departing figures of the young man and woman.

Stepping onto the campus they hadn't visited for two years, Chen Xu and Du Fan didn't rush off to the main topic.

They strolled along the familiar tree-lined path, their eyes sweeping over the buildings, playground, and paths that had remained almost unchanged, chatting casually.

"Wow, this is the legendary new gymnasium with a heated swimming pool? It's really built?" Chen Xu pointed to the brand-new, imposing building next to the north playground and couldn't help but complain, "As expected, the alma mater's rule never fails—a new building is built right after graduation. This isn't just a renovation at our university, it's a complete overhaul!"

"That's fast. When we graduated, this place was just a big, messy pit," Du Fan remarked.

Although he had witnessed the speed of infrastructure construction at the grassroots level, he was still deeply moved when he returned to the campus and saw such changes.

"Sigh, if only we had this swimming pool back then, we could have had more options for physical education classes," Chen Xu said regretfully.

"Third brother, you should be more realistic. Even if there were swimming lessons, would you dare to choose them? Have you forgotten what happened when you were kneeling on the keyboard?" Chen Bainian ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.

"Hey! Second brother, you..." Chen Xu was speechless for a moment, then blurted out a phrase he'd picked up from somewhere, "I think you're just laughing at me! Be careful you don't end up being a 'henpecked husband' yourself!"

Chen Bainian merely curled the corners of his lips slightly, ignoring the remark.

Chen Xu and Du Fan exchanged a helpless glance.

Chen Bainian was like this when he was in school; he was mostly calm and reserved, and when he occasionally argued, he would only go so far as to stop there.

If you want to get any information about his feelings out of him, you probably won't be able to pry open a crack just by the two of them joking around.

Fortunately, they had a contingency plan. Chen Bainian had a good relationship with his counselor, Old Wang, so when they met later, the conversation might flow more naturally.

The university's dormitory area is divided into north and south sections, and the counselor's office is not located in the impressive administration building.

To make them more convenient for students, these offices were located on the first floor of several dormitory buildings in the South and North areas.

At this moment, they were heading towards the "Old Wang's stronghold" that they remembered.
