Chapter 59 Chapter 59: Xiao Cheng Embarrasses Himself Online (2)
Although Xu Yecheng was pretty much feeding, the guy who had stolen the role wasn’t actually that bad, and with Zheng Wenxuan in decent form as well, they still managed to scrape out a win.
When the enemy crystal finally exploded, Xu Yecheng let out a long sigh of relief.
“Finally over,” Zheng Wenxuan sighed. “Baby Cheng, let’s just say… if there’s no top laner next time, you should probably fill some other role……”
……
After washing up and climbing into bed, Xu Yecheng was still feeling a little down.
He really didn’t want to interact with He Xiaohan in that kind of state.
He picked up his phone and saw that Doudou had sent him a photo. It was a picture of her forehead. Xu Yecheng frowned slightly, looking a bit puzzled.
“Ningning, I got another pimple. /cry”
When Xu Yecheng saw the message, he couldn’t help but smile.
“It’s okay. Watch your diet and don’t stay up too late, it’ll naturally get better.”
“Mm-hmm. Ningning, your skin is so good—what brand of face cream do you use? I’m really curious, recommend one quickly!”
Xu Yecheng raised an eyebrow. What brand of face cream? How would he know? Xu Wanning’s good skin didn’t really have anything to do with him.
But since Doudou asked, Xu Yecheng casually replied anyway.
“I haven’t really been using any skincare products lately. My skin condition has just gotten a bit better.”

“Going back to basics, huh. As expected, everyone’s constitution is different.”
Xu Yecheng comforted her a bit more.
“It’s fine, I think you look really pretty.”
“Little miss, you’ve got quite the sweet mouth.”
Seeing Doudou’s reply, Xu Yecheng’s expression immediately turned a little strange.
“Oh? Who are you chatting with? Smiling so happily,” Liu Xianlin teased when he got up to use the bathroom and saw Xu Yecheng grinning at his phone.
“Of course I’m chatting with a girl,” Xu Yecheng replied.
“Not bad. Planning to find a partner?”
“No. Just someone I met by shaking the app, chatted a bit casually,” Xu Yecheng brushed it off.
“Bet you shook into some middle-aged auntie, and you’re still this happy,” Liu Xianlin said, then went back to his seat.
Xu Yecheng didn’t respond and continued chatting with Doudou.
Doudou’s topics were wide-ranging—from how the cafeteria lady gave her an extra piece of meat today, to which male celebrity had some new scandal.
As they chatted, Xu Yecheng also learned that Doudou’s idol was Jackson Yee.
Doudou immediately sent over a few handsome photos.
“He’s really so handsome……”
Xu Yecheng still had a smile on his face.
“Who’s Ningning’s idol?”
“I don’t follow celebrities,” Xu Yecheng replied briskly.
“Oh…… then is there any male celebrity you think is really handsome?”
That question stumped Xu Yecheng.
Male celebrities? He really didn’t know many.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Yecheng decided to go along with her tastes and replied, “I think Jackson Yee is really handsome.”
Doudou: Kokomi gloomy face.jpg
“Then between Jackson Yee and your He Xiaohan, who do you think is more handsome?”
Xu Yecheng froze.
What did she mean by “your He Xiaohan”?
Xu Yecheng instantly felt his scalp go numb.
“Doudou, can you not put it like that? We’re not that kind of relationship.”
“Don’t be so shy, I think you totally can.”
“I don’t think he’s interested in me.”
On the other end, Doudou frowned, her expression turning worried.
This didn’t look good.
“Maybe that’s how it is at the beginning. Ningning should take the initiative—ask him out for a meal or something, so you can get to know each other better,” Doudou replied after thinking for a while.
When Xu Yecheng saw that message, his heart completely sank.
Forget it. Asking him to spend money on He Xiaohan? Absolutely impossible.
“Let’s forget it,” Xu Yecheng decided to give up. Maybe he really was just kind of hopeless.
He Xiaohan was actually pretty picky too.
“Ningning, you have to be careful. Once you miss this chance, there won’t be another,” Doudou said urgently when she saw Xu Yecheng ready to give up.
“There’s plenty of fish in the sea. Why cling to just one flower?”
When Doudou saw that reply, her expression turned puzzled.
Strange—why did it feel like Ningning had already seen through the mortal world?
Doudou couldn’t figure it out.
Xu Yecheng pulled the bed curtain shut, not wanting to think about all this messy stuff anymore.
Ji Qingying……
When Xu Yecheng thought of her, his heart still felt tangled.
But there was no need to keep clinging to her anymore.
He knew that what he liked was the imagined “Ji Qingying”—he only liked the side of her that he had seen.
People have many sides. The side Ji Qingying showed him just happened to be the one he liked the most.
The more Xu Yecheng thought about it, the more pitiful he felt.
Sigh.
Xu Yecheng let out a quiet breath.
The next day, after finishing his morning classes, Xu Yecheng changed clothes and rushed to the café. While changing into his work uniform, he happened to notice a tabby cat at the front desk.
It was a classic tabby with typical coloring, and Xu Yecheng’s small face immediately lit up.
As a cat lover, she had absolutely no resistance to cats.
“That’s the manager’s cat,” Doudou said from the side. Seeing Xu Yecheng’s excited expression, a hint of delight flashed across her face.
So Ningning likes cats.
“It’s the manager’s? So cute,” Xu Yecheng said, looking at the tabby. He didn’t see any wariness or fear in its eyes.
Xu Yecheng blinked. “Why does it feel like it’s not very afraid of people?”
“Yeah,” Doudou responded. Xu Yecheng reached out to pet it, but the next second she heard the front desk calling her.
Xu Yecheng immediately pulled her hand back in disappointment.
The cat cast her a light glance, looking very disdainful, then licked its paw.
Xu Yecheng frowned. Why did this cat feel so smug?
Precisely because of that, she wanted to pet it even more.
Just wait—once work slows down, I’ll deal with you.
Doudou’s gaze shifted to the seat by the window, and her expression turned slightly puzzled.
Strange—why hadn’t the male lead come today?
On the other side……
He Xiaohan rubbed his temples with a headache, looking at the man who had his arm slung around his shoulder, laughing happily.
“Brother Han, I’m begging you—help me out,” the man said, patting He Xiaohan’s chest. “You must know plenty of girls. Just help me get in touch with one. I can pay.”
He Xiaohan sighed with a headache and looked at his face. “Alright. What a hassle.”
“Tell me the requirements.”
The man rubbed his hands together and grinned at He Xiaohan.
“As expected of a good brother.” He restrained his smile a bit. “Preferably cute, around 170 centimeters tall, and her chest shouldn’t be too big—but not too small either……”
You're asking too much, Wenxuan.
