All my teammates online are my girlfriends

"Why are you here?!"

The unanimous question echoed throughout the bar, their eyes fixed on each other's faces, creating an extremely eerie atmosphere.

The fish-stealing cat silently took out his phone and saw the message Yuanzi had sent him not long ago, and his eyelids twitched.

Yuanzi said that the bar was closed today, and he was the only person there. Moreover, Huiyuan was the first one to arrive.

The same ponytail, the same annoying manner and lazy temperament—no wonder there's this strange sense of familiarity.

And now I happen to be at this party...

You're a damn swindler?!

In an instant, all sorts of old and new grudges flashed through Zezhi's mind.

After listing all the bastard's crimes, the fish-stealing cat silently took a deep breath...

The next second, it pounced on him like its fur standing on end—

"You damned, unscrupulous merchant, you'd better die!!"

Regardless of why the sweet fermented rice balls next to me are such big-breasted monsters, it's definitely time to settle scores with this damned, unscrupulous merchant in front of me!

Seeing the two of them suddenly fall to the ground and start wrestling, Yuanzi subtly raised her eyebrows.

Just as Qingyuan had guessed, these two really did start arguing as soon as they met!

Judging from their tone, it seems like these two knew each other before?

Silently watching the two wrestling and rolling around on the floor, Ying Ziyan's lips twitched, and her desire to help pull them apart faded considerably.

Let's wait until they calm down before we do anything, otherwise if we go now, my clothes might get torn.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Using your mouth is going too far!!"

"You sold me potions at inflated prices, gave away the apartment you were renting from, and even paid me back with interest after handing me flyers... This is an irreconcilable feud!"

Ze Zhi bit Lin Qiu's arm fiercely, while vaguely listing his various crimes.

The angrier she got, the more merciless she became when she bit down, causing Lin Qiu to gasp in pain.

You started it, so it's understandable that I acted in self-defense!

Seeing that the two were fighting more and more fiercely, and were about to die together, Yuanzi also let go of her last bit of restraint.

After tidying up the damp tabletop that Lin Qiu had accidentally made, Ying Ziyan poured herself a small glass of red wine and watched the situation on the other side of the Fish-Stealing Cat while sipping it, a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

It's been years since I've had such a lively birthday celebration.

However, I didn't expect that even the fish-stealing cat was a girl, and her vengeful nature was as striking as ever.

Now they're just waiting for Qingyuan to arrive. If they see that Qingyuan is such a beautiful girl, the two of them will probably be stunned.

As if imagining what might happen next, Ying Ziyan's lips curled up slightly, and she couldn't help but open her phone to ask Qin Yunmo about his journey.

In just a few seconds, as he lowered his head to look up again, the two people inside the room instantly changed their attack. The originally aggressive fish-stealing cat was directly captured by Lin Qiu and pinned down on the sofa.

"Ouch—it hurts! Let go, let go, you scoundrel! It's broken, it feels like my hand is going to break!"

Zezhi begged for mercy, baring his teeth, completely losing his previous ferocious demeanor, and almost burst into tears.

This bastard shouldn't be a weak, easily bullied otaku, how come he knows how to grapple?!

"jingle-"

Before Lin Qiu could retaliate with a few sarcastic remarks, the sound of the door being pushed open rang out again, immediately drawing the attention of the three people inside.

Upon seeing who it was, Ying Ziyan smiled so much her eyes narrowed; now everyone was here.

Qin Yunmo, standing at the door, stared blankly at Lin Qiu and Ze Zhi, who were frozen in place on the sofa, seemingly in a daze.

After silently closing the door and calming down for a few seconds, I opened it again.

Looking at the unchanged scene, even the class monitor, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.

It's the two of you again?!

Lin Qiu and the fish-stealing cat inside the house were equally dumbfounded as they stared at Qin Yunmo, who had appeared there, their brains almost going blank.

If it weren't for the fact that it was agreed that only four people would be gathering today, people who didn't know the situation would think that the class monitor was also a disciplinary committee member, coming out to make surprise arrests.

Since the class monitor arrived last, does that mean she must be Qing Yuan?!

What sins did they commit in their past lives to be able to coincidentally gather together like this?

Lin Qiu's eyes twitched slightly. Although he had imagined the meeting scene countless times, he never expected it to be so bizarre.

"Um—hey, don't just stand there like that, let's go upstairs together, the food is all up there."

"Hmm? Ah——"

Although it felt very strange, Lin Qiu still let go of Ze Zhi, and the three of them silently followed Yuanzi upstairs.

The second floor of the bar is a place specifically for setting up small private rooms for guests. The decor is similar to that of the first floor, but more elegant and cozy, filled with a comfortable fragrance.

Yuanzi had arranged for them to have the largest private room in the bar. As soon as they entered, the table full of incredibly delicious food made Lin Qiu and Ze Zhi swallow hard.

It has to be said, with Yuanzi's cooking skills, it's a real shame she's not a professional chef!

As Yuanzi invited them to sit down one by one, an unspeakable, eerie silence immediately enveloped the entire private room.

Lin Qiu, Qin Yunmo, and Ze Zhi looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Instead, Ying Ziyan couldn't resist her curiosity and asked with some suspicion—

"You...knew each other before?"

"..."

Lin Qiu's lips twitched. After silently glancing at Qin Yunmo beside him and Zhou Zezhi opposite him, he introduced them—

"The Fish-Stealing Cat is my classmate, and Qingyuan is my deskmate..."

"Eh--"

Ying Ziyan was stunned when she heard this, and then glanced at the three of them in confusion.

How did you manage to be classmates without knowing each other's identities?!

"Alright, alright, although it's a bit of a surprise, it's a good thing. After all, we're in the same class, which will make communication much easier in the future. Shall we grab a drink together?"

Ying Ziyan didn't seem to care much, smiling and warming up the atmosphere, while also pouring sweet wine and juice for Lin Qiu and Qing Yuan.

His gaze then shifted to the fish-stealing cat beside him, who was staring intently at the chopped chili fish head, unable to look away, and he tentatively asked—

"Fish-stealing cat, would you like juice or wine?"

"Hey? Ah—give me some bar too."

The fish-stealing cat glanced at the sweet wine in Lin Qiu's glass and muttered something unsatisfactory.

"Be careful with your intake, don't get drunk."

"I know what I'm doing!"

Completely oblivious to the seriousness of the problem, Sawari patted her chest and confidently assured him...

063-The Clash Under the Table

"Yuanzi, this is a birthday present I prepared for you. It's not anything expensive, but I still hope you like it."

"Oh - thank you!"

"And here's mine. Last time it was a gift when we met, this time it's a formal birthday present. Happy birthday, Yuanzi."

"Thank you so much, Qingyuan! Thank you everyone for coming to celebrate my birthday with me today!"

Looking at everyone she was meeting formally for the first time, Yuanzi's smile was much brighter than ever before.

It's been a long time since anyone celebrated my birthday with me. What started as a spur-of-the-moment suggestion has somehow ended up being remembered by them.

Having a few friends around is pretty good...

When will these two finally shut up? We've only been sitting here for a short while, and they're already kicking each other under the table. I almost kicked myself in the process.

As the two presented their gifts, the fish-stealing cat stepped on Lin Yan's instep, glared at him, and said—

"You swindler, Yunmo and I have already given you our gifts. What did you give us?"

"Chie helped me pick out a little bear. I was originally worried about how to give it as a gift since Maruko is an alcoholic. But now that's fine, no problem at all."

"The gift that Huiyuan picked out is really cute. I just needed a decoration for my bed, so I'll put it on my bed every day from now on!"

This guy is incredibly lucky.

I just randomly guessed and got it right, why can't I do it?

"As long as you like it."

Lin Qiu forced a smile, then raised her other foot and stepped on Ze Zhi, causing her to wince in pain and nearly smash her head on the table.

"But I didn't expect you to be a woman, Yuanzi. At first, I thought you were a rich second-generation alcoholic uncle surrounded by beautiful women."

"I thought so too."

Qin Yunmo, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

Of course, what was even more unexpected was that this fish-stealing cat, on the surface, was a cute little boy with a voice-changing maniac, but in reality, he was the energetic girl in the class.

And then there's Lin Qiu, who sat right next to me the whole time. No wonder he knows so much secret information and I always feel a strange sense of familiarity with him.

"Hey—do you guys have some kind of misunderstanding about me?"

Ying Ziyan muttered somewhat unhappily, wondering why she had that impression when she hadn't revealed any bad habits.

"The main problem is that Yuanzi's character design really looks like a middle-aged man, which feels a bit strange. How about I sculpt one for you?"

Zezhi suggested that although her level of detail wasn't as high as Qingyuan's, it should still look very good in the hands of an average player!

"Oh - then I'll have to rely on you then."

"No problem - I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"Come on, don't sculpt Yuanzi into some weird little boy model. It's better to sculpt her as she is now. She's already pretty good-looking as she is now."

However, faced with the fish-stealing cat's assurance, Lin Qiu on the other side couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This guy's shifty eyes kept glancing at Yuanzi's chest; he clearly had ill intentions.

It's even possible that, in order to suppress those with large breasts, they might deliberately design a male character or an extremely flat-chested female character for Yuanzi!

"Are you questioning my taste? What if I create a particularly beautiful female character and someone comes to harass Yuanzi? Look at Qingyuan, even as a male character, she gets harassed quite a bit because she's too beautiful."

As Ze Zhi shouted, Lin Qiu subconsciously glanced at Qin Yunmo.

Although it was only for a moment, she still noticed the small movement of his pupils shifting down a few millimeters and then immediately returning to their original position, and the veins on his forehead bulged slightly.

This guy's gotten more and more audacious since he revealed his identity...

"Qingyuan... she's been quite peaceful lately, hasn't she? There aren't as many people blocking the door like before, just to catch a glimpse of her."

"It's all because you gave her my room! Now nobody knows where she lives, how can it not be peaceful!"

Just thinking about Sawaori makes me angry. She bought you off with just a set of figures. Doesn't she care about the order of arrival?

"Cough—don't you often go to the cabin too? Although the recovery speed isn't as fast as in the bedroom, it's not bad either."

"..."

You've already moved in, don't you feel any remorse for saying this?

Ze Zhi puffed out her pretty face angrily, picked up a large piece of fish and put it in her mouth. After smacking her lips a few times, she grumbled contentedly.

Considering Yuanzi's cooking skills, I'll let bygones be bygones with this guy for now!

"Alright, alright, don't worry about it so much. Eat more vegetables. I've prepared all the dishes you like."

"oh!!"

With Ying Ziyan's invitation, Ze Zhi saw that the others didn't seem to mind, so she immediately put aside her small concerns and decisively reached for the beef ribs in front of Lin Qiu with her chopsticks.

I'll take the biggest piece!

But before her chopsticks could even touch the beef rib, two other pairs of chopsticks reached out at the same time and pressed against the piece of meat.

"You guys... I saw this first."
