All my teammates online are my girlfriends

"Oh, I almost forgot! What time is it?"

When the topic of what happens after class came up, Lin Qiu perked up considerably, pulling out his phone as he asked questions.

There's less than a minute left before get out of class ends, and it'll be time to meet up with Yuanzi and the others!

"What's wrong? Is something urgent?"

"Pretty much, I'm going to see a friend. I've already told Chie about the outing, and I've brought enough money, so everything will be fine."

As Lin Qiu replied, he silently counted down in his mind.

The moment the bell rang, under Qin Yunmo's subtle gaze, Lin Qiu's previous dejected state vanished, replaced by anticipation as he jumped up and darted out of the classroom.

That speed far exceeded his performance in physical education class...

Before she could even pack her things to leave, Zezhi, under her best friend's bewildered gaze, silently shouldered her backpack, pulled up her hood, lowered her head, and hurriedly left the classroom.

That figure, looking like a guilty thief, seemed to be chasing after Lin Qiu.

"Are they... going on a date?"

Qin Yunmo stared blankly at the two people who were walking away quickly, but he didn't pay much attention to it and continued to pack his textbooks.

Whenever I run into these two outside, they're always glued together, so even if that's the case, it's not entirely unexpected.

As they prepared to leave the school, Ying Ziyan, in a bar, was also secretly looking forward to it, her eyes fixed on the wall clock.

The time has finally come! It's time to see what kind of people those two, Huiyuan and the Fish-Stealing Cat, really are!

"Ring ring--"

A pleasant telephone ring suddenly rang out from beside her, startling her so much that she almost spilled the red wine in her hand.

Upon seeing that the caller ID showed Xiaoyu's name, Ying Ziyan answered the phone somewhat blankly—

"What's wrong, Xiaoyu? Did you leave something at the bar?"

"Oh no, boss lady, I went on a date today. Are you sure everything's alright on your end?"

"Why are you emphasizing this so deliberately? Are you mocking me...?"

Ying Ziyan grumbled unhappily. Although she had failed several blind dates, it was a bit much for you to emphasize it like this.

"Ahem, no, I'm just worried about you here, boss lady. We're not open today, so please don't drink too much by yourself, otherwise you won't be able to entertain your friends who are coming."

"I'm not a child anymore, I know what I'm doing. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. Have fun with your boyfriend, and remember to take precautions."

"What are you saying, boss lady!"

Xiaoyu's slightly embarrassed and annoyed voice came from the other end of the phone. "We haven't even gotten to that point yet, what nonsense is the boss lady talking about!"

But when her boyfriend urged her to stop, Xiaoyu didn't continue the conversation. After giving him a few more earnest reminders not to drink too much, she hung up the phone.

Hearing the notification sound of the phone being disconnected, Ying Ziyan rubbed her temples in exasperation.

Xiaoyu isn't that old, yet she's already worrying about her own affairs.

After muttering a few words with a smile, another notification sound rang out, immediately drawing Ying Ziyan's attention.

It was a message sent by Lin Qiu—

"Yuanzi, I'm only a few blocks away. Have Qingyuan and the Fish-Stealing Cat arrived yet?"

"Not yet, you'll probably be the first one. The door's unlocked, just open it and come in."

After replying quite quickly, Ying Ziyan immediately sat back down at the bar, glancing nervously at the small mirror placed there.

My hairstyle shouldn't be messed up, right? And my light makeup hasn't smudged either.

Hmm—is the lipstick color a little too light?

The clothes...the clothes shouldn't be wrinkled! I just took a shower, so the smell of alcohol on me shouldn't be that strong.

Everything should be ready!

Seeing that there were no problems with her appearance and demeanor, Ying Ziyan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Her gaze swept over the wall clock again, and as the seconds ticked by, her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.

The first one to arrive is Lin Zhong Hui Yuan. I wonder what he'll look like? I'm a little nervous!

Meanwhile, Lin Qiu finally crossed the streets and arrived at the entrance of the Moon Eclipse Rose Bar.

His gaze swept over the "Temporarily Closed" sign hanging on the door. Even before entering, he seemed to sense something and could vaguely feel that someone was sitting inside, their eyes fixed on the door.

After nervously swallowing, Lin Qiu finally reached for the doorknob...

061 - The eerie gazes exchanged at the doorway...

"jingle-"

The bell jingled softly as the door slowly opened, revealing a figure to those inside.

A slender figure, a clean and crisp white shirt and black pants, with his blue and white school uniform tied around his waist.

Her delicate features carried a hint of laziness and casualness, yet her ponytail exuded a sense of competence.

Because of staying at home for a long time, her skin appears slightly fairer than average, and she exudes a refreshing and comforting aura.

Ying Ziyan stared blankly at the neatly dressed young man in front of her, forgetting to speak for a moment.

I've been on so many blind dates and met so many men, but this one...

My XP system is working again!!

Who could this be? The fish-stealing cat? Or the kite-drawing bird in the forest?!

Judging from his ponytail, he must be Huiyuan, right? His game avatar also has a ponytail!

I originally thought that guy was a lazy, fat otaku who stayed at home all the time, but he's actually quite good-looking!

While she was in a daze, Lin Qiu, sitting opposite her, was also staring blankly at the hot figure sitting at the bar. The full and alluring curves of her body immediately stunned him.

What a terrible crime!!!

But Lin Qiu quickly realized what was happening, his gaze fixed on Ying Ziyan's face, the message Yuanzi had just sent flashing through his mind.

He was the first of the three to arrive, and he had mentioned before that the bar was closed today, so he was the only one there.

In other words, the person in front of us...

"Round...round...round dumplings?"

Lin Qiu asked tentatively, but his voice trembled.

I thought he was a rough, decadent, alcoholic middle-aged man, but I never expected him to be... round and fair-skinned!

No wonder you didn't care much about Liu Yu's bust size, turns out you're just as big!

"Painting kites?"

Ying Ziyan asked in return, which was tantamount to admitting her identity, and stared intently at the other party.

As Lin Qiu nodded slightly, a gleam of excitement flashed in her eyes.

"Please sit down, please sit down. I must say, Huiyuan, you and Qingyuan have very unexpected offline appearances."

Once her identity was confirmed, Ying Ziyan pointed to the seat next to her and invited her with great enthusiasm.

As if afraid of being slighted, she quickly went behind the bar and retrieved the drinks and wines that had already been prepared.

"Huiyuan, would you like some red wine or a soft drink?"

"I'm fine with anything, as long as it's not a mango-based drink, thank you."

As Lin Qiu responded, he thoughtfully surveyed everything inside the bar.

Although it wasn't as luxurious and chaotic as other bars I'd seen online, it had a more cozy and peaceful atmosphere, and it was also very clean.

"Hey-Huiyuan, are you allergic to mangoes?"

"No, it's just that I don't really like mango flavor."

"Oh, okay, then I'll make you some apple liqueur. I made it myself, and it tastes much better than other brands."

"sorry to bother you."

"It's alright - here, a glass of apple cider."

When Yuanzi placed the sweet wine in front of him, Lin Qiu didn't forget what he had brought and handed over the gift box he was carrying.

"Oh, right, Yuanzi, this is a birthday present for you. Happy birthday."

"Oh, that's so thoughtful of you, thank you!"

Looking at the exquisitely packaged gift box in front of her, Yuanzi's eyes curved into beautiful crescent moons.

I haven't celebrated my birthday much in recent years, so receiving a gift again after so many years gives me a feeling of things having changed.

This time, it was a gift from a young man who started his XP system, so it felt even more special!

"It's not so much that I chose it myself, but rather that it was my sister's idea. I hope you don't mind that it's too childish."

"No, no, I'm actually very happy. You're so beautiful, Huiyuan, your little sister must be very cute too, right?"

Ying Ziyan smiled and sighed, her curiosity about the gift growing stronger.

I wonder what's inside?

"Although she's still a primary school student, she's actually quite grown-up. Let's put her aside for now and take a look inside. I wonder if she'll suit your taste."

"Then I won't be polite."

After seeing Lin Qiu nod in agreement, Ying Ziyan carefully began to unpack the gift box.

As the wrapping paper was removed, the obviously replaced white gift box was revealed in front of the two, covered with Chie's habitual doodles.

It's still a whimsical doodle; what an adorable little girl!

With a slight smile on her lips, Ying Ziyan opened the lid, and a plush bear hugging a heart-shaped pillow was instantly exposed to Lin Qiu's view, making his eyelids twitch violently.

So that bear actually has this pillow?! Mom, you started letting loose as soon as Chie expressed her doubts!

Beneath the plush bear were several carefully wrapped chocolates and candies, along with a beautiful birthday card, making it quite a presentable arrangement.

"That's a lovely gift, thank you Huiyuan and your sister!"

"I'm glad you don't mind."

Lin Qiu smiled awkwardly, but inwardly he was extremely annoyed with his parents. Apart from himself, the whole family had gotten involved!

At that moment, another message arrived on Yuanzi's phone, this time from the Fish-Stealing Cat—

"Yuanzi! I'll be there soon! Save the fish for later, don't eat it all!"

Seeing that longing tone, like a cat's, Yuanzi couldn't help but smile.

Before she could even edit and send the message, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from the distance, heading straight for the bar entrance with a clear purpose.

A few seconds later——

"jingle-"

"Bang!!"

The moment a figure flashed into the bar, she immediately slammed the door shut, pressed her back against the door, and stared at the window with a look of terror on her pretty face.

A dog barked a few times at the door, and after seeing no response from inside, it angrily pried at the door a few more times before gradually leaving.

Seeing that the situation was finally safe, the person who had been hiding breathed a sigh of relief and looked apologetically at the two people inside the house.

"Oops, I'm so sorry! I was chased by a dog on the way here, which made me a little late! I don't know if I'm... late..."

The breathless shouting grew weaker and weaker until finally it fell into an eerie silence.

Lin Qiu stared blankly at Ze Zhi, who stood at the door looking somewhat disheveled. His wine glass clattered onto the bar, spilling sweet wine everywhere...

062 - The unscrupulous merchants! It's time for reckoning!!
