All my teammates online are my girlfriends

"Cough—I didn't really think about it that way back then, and Chizuru was a tomboy back then. Who would have thought that she would suddenly become so feminine in her senior year of high school?"

Lin Yichuan muttered, his face full of nostalgia. He had to admit that Qianhe was much softer back then.

Why did you become so tough after giving birth to Chie?

046-The Unsuspecting Meeting

"Hey lady, what are you trying to do now? Don't look into my room! No entry!"

Early in the morning, Qin Dan felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at Qin Yunmo, who was standing silently at her bedroom door.

Without a second thought, he blocked the doorway, his eyes immediately fixed on her fiercely.

This time, don't even think about taking away your beloved again!

"I didn't come here to borrow your figurine, I have something else I want to ask you."

"You're not borrowing, you're robbing us!!"

Even though it was her own sister, Qin Dan remained extremely vigilant and showed no intention of stepping aside.

After signaling Qin Xuan to close the door, she leaned against the door and hummed as she spoke—

"What's up? No figurines or merchandise, please!"

"Where do you usually buy your figurines? If you buy them online, could you give me a link to the store?"

"Huh? Big sister, you've started buying figurines too?!"

Qin Dan was taken aback by Qin Yunmo's question.

Has my older sister also started down that path leading to the abyss?!

"It's just as a gift. A friend's birthday is in two days, and we'll be getting together, so I thought I'd bring everyone a gift."

"Friend... Brother Lin Qiu?! Wait, Qianhui told me his birthday is in May, and it's already September..."

"Why did you think of Lin Qiu? It's not him, it's a few friends from the internet, the first time we'll meet."

Qin Yunmo glanced at the little guy. "A figurine has already bribed you to death?"

"A figurine...a figurine..."

As if remembering something, Qin Dan's pupils suddenly contracted.

The older sister previously stole her own figurine intending to give it to someone, and now she's buying figurines as gifts again. Could it be that the bastard who took her figurine is also going to do that?!

But another series of figure giveaways, lady, have you become this rich?

Instead of getting together with that guy, why not consider Lin Qiu? He's the kind of guy who'd give you figurines; he's the perfect brother-in-law!

"I want to go for my birthday too!"

I want to see which bastard took the figurine!

"Why are you getting involved, kid? These are all strangers. Don't get involved. Remember to send me the link, I need to go out and buy some things later."

"Eh--"

After saying that, Qin Yunmo ignored Qin Dan, who was pouting, waved his hand, and walked towards the entrance.

With her eyes fixed on her older sister's back, Qin Dan darted back into the house, closing the door tightly behind her.

"heard it?"

"You're not planning to follow me, are you? I'm not going with you. I'm meeting Chie at the arcade that day."

Qin Xuan said something without looking up, his attention completely focused on his game console.

"Huh? When did you make plans with Chie? How come I didn't know?!"

"I forgot about you while we were talking."

"..."

Is there no family affection left in this place?! Have they all forgotten their old loves and found new ones?!

"Ah Xuan---just come with me! Aren't you curious about who your older sister is meeting? What if they're all creepy old men? Aren't you worried about her safety?"

Who should be worried about security?

Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow and looked up at Qin Dan after defeating the final boss.

The eldest sister is the city's Sanda champion, the nominal head of the local underworld, and the working goddess of the nearby shops. Who would dare to mess with her if they had a death wish?

Qin Dan paused upon hearing this, almost forgetting about it.

"Where's mom?"

"Mom has already gone to work, so don't even think about taking her with you. Your older sister will definitely find out."

Qin Xuan replied expressionlessly. Given his older sister's personality, she might be okay with girls, but she would generally keep a safe distance from men.

Aside from Lin Qiu, who gave him a figurine, whom he could try to matchmake, he wasn't interested in anyone else.

"You'd better behave yourself and not cause any trouble. If all else fails, you can come with us to the arcade to make up the numbers."

"As for meals, I've already returned the bank card with only 6.48 yuan left."

......

While Qin Dan was agonizing over her itinerary, Qin Yunmo arrived early at the nearby commercial street and began searching for gift shops one by one.

Soon, her gaze settled on a fairly large shop, which was decorated quite nicely and seemed to be having a discount promotion.

As soon as she stepped inside, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in her line of sight.

"Ah, Qin Yunmo?"

Lin Qiu, who was standing in front of the shelf, was slightly taken aback. As if he had recited a summoning incantation, Qian Hui suddenly jumped out from a corner and looked at Qin Yunmo with a look of surprise.

"Sister Yunmo!"

"Hello."

Somewhat surprised, Qin Yunmo nodded as a greeting to the two people who were also in the store.

"Sister Yunmo is also here to buy gifts?"

"Yes, I'm going to visit some friends. What about you?"

When faced with the adorable little Chie who came up to him, Yunmo instinctively patted her little head, feeling as if he were interacting with his younger sister before she fell into depravity.

Why have my two kids turned out like this?

Seeing Qin Yunmo's affectionate manner, Qianhui's eyes curved into adorable crescent moons—

"Brother Lin Qiu is going to meet a middle-aged man who is drinking heavily and he's meeting him for the first time. He's thinking of bringing a gift or something."

"An alcoholic... middle-aged man?"

"Let's not talk about that. What gift are you buying, Sister Yunmo? I can help you pick one out!"

"sorry to bother you."

Lin Qiu glanced subtly at Qian Hui, who had given him a meaningful look and then walked away with Qin Yunmo, scratching his head in confusion.

What's this little guy up to now?

But he didn't think too much about it, and immediately took out his phone to edit a message and send it to the fish-stealing cat.

"Hey, what birthday present are you planning to get for Yuanzi?"

"What? You're not thinking of preparing the same thing, are you? Don't even think about it!"

Looking at the fish-stealing cat so vigilant and wary, Lin Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly. Could this guy also be unable to think of what to choose, just like him?

"Haha—never mind, I've already made my choice anyway, let's not talk about it anymore."

"Wait! What did you pick?"

"Secret."

"Snapped!"

The sound of a phone being dropped suddenly came from the other side of the shelf, accompanied by a frantic deep breath, which made Lin Qiu curiously peek over.

A figure wearing a black cat-ear jacket was kneeling on the ground, wearing headphones, and scratching the ground frantically as if it had been greatly provoked.

Gazing at that familiar figure, Lin Qiu's brow furrowed, and he instinctively called out—

"Sawaori?"

Zezhi, who was wearing headphones, didn't seem to hear anything. She slammed her fist on the ground again, muttered "Just you wait," and then stood up again.

Turning around, he saw Lin Qiu suddenly appear and trembled with fear...

047 - It's alright now.

What are you doing here?

Sawa took off her headphones, rubbed her slightly reddened ears, and couldn't help but mutter a question.

Why is this guy everywhere I go? Could he be a stalker?

"You're getting some gifts for your friends, while you're wandering around alone again?"

"What's with that pitying tone at the end?!"

Seeing Lin Qiu's subtle gaze, Ze Zhi glared at him. Don't think you can be arrogant just because you have a sister!

"I'm just bored! Don't you feel awkward walking around with someone? It's much more comfortable to be alone."

"Alright, alright, it's your decision. So, are you going to prepare gifts to visit your friends like Qin Yunmo?"

"Qin Yunmo is here too?"

"Look, over there."

Ze Zhi was slightly taken aback. Following the direction Lin Qiu pointed, she saw Qin Yunmo and Qian Hui standing in front of a shelf, talking quietly.

Staring blankly at the scene that looked like a family of three out shopping, she seemed to have thought of something, nudged Lin Qiu with her elbow, and asked curiously—

"You're already dating Qin Yunmo?!"

"What are you thinking? It was just a chance encounter. She just arrived. It's amazing that you stood here for so long and didn't notice us."

Lin Qiu flicked her forehead in annoyance, which immediately made Ze Zhi's pretty face puff up.

"I was just focused on picking out a gift, and I was also listening to music with headphones on, so how could I possibly notice?"

She glared at him unhappily, then stopped dwelling on the matter and grabbed the headphone case from the side, asking—

"Since you're here, could you give me your opinion? How about these headphones as a gift?"

Are you planning to give it to a boy or a girl?

"Male...cough, female!"

After carefully recalling the scenes of her interactions with Yuanzi over the past few days, Zezhi hesitated for only a moment before giving a definite answer.

Even someone like Qingyuan, whose style and habits are more masculine, could tell that Yuanzi was probably right, even though they hadn't spent much time together!

"A woman? Well, that might not be suitable."

Lin Qiu took the headphone case, glanced at it, and decisively shook his head.

"These headphones are on the larger side, even a size bigger than the ones you're wearing now. They'll feel quite heavy. Also, although this manufacturer's headphones are relatively cost-effective, they've had a high failure rate lately, so I wouldn't recommend them."

"You're quite professional."

Ze Zhi was stunned by Lin Qiu's analysis and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Does this guy usually pay attention to headphone-related issues?

"It's alright, I just happened to glance at it while browsing the internet when I was bored. I'm still racking my brains trying to figure out what gift to give her."

Lin Qiu gave a wry smile. His father kept recommending his favorite chocolate, practically imagining Yuanzi as his future daughter-in-law.

"Are you going to meet your mother-in-law? If so, I suggest you just send her there directly."

Glancing at Qin Yunmo in the distance, and recalling how extremely satisfied Ji Ruoyun was with Lin Qiu yesterday, Ze Zhi couldn't help but tease him.

They don't need any formal gifts; a son-in-law or someone else will suffice.
