They visited the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the World Expo Museum, walked along the Dajiang River, and even experienced Shanghai’s touristic arts and crafts enclave—Tianzifang.

Honesty speaking, Yu Luocheng had been in Shanghai for two years and he had never gone to so many places before!

“What’s wrong, you look tired?” Yang Qianqian asked Yu Luocheng who was sitting beside her with his eyes closed.

Fuu…Fuu…

Soft snores came from Yu Luocheng and Yang Qianqian blinked. She hadn’t expected Yu Luocheng to fall asleep in the car. This was the fourth day Yang Qianqian had been in Shanghai, and although Yu Luocheng had been with her the whole time, she felt that he was rather gloomy.

“This guy…what do you do at night, really!” Yang Qianqian stepped on his foot with the bottom of her heels.

“We’re here, you lazy pig, get up!” Yang Qianqian said, shaking Yu Luocheng awake.

He was deep in slumber and Yang Qianqian had tried to wake him up by calling his name, but it hadn’t worked and she could only shake him then.

“What? We’re here?” Yu Luocheng opened his eyes, hurriedly rubbing the drool from his mouth. Looking around, he said, “I thought we were heading to the river, why are we back at the university?”

Yang Qianqian paid the fare, her face clearly unhappy as she said, “Seeing your unenthusiastic face, I didn’t feel like going and asked the driver to bring us back here.”

“I’m fine.” Yu Luocheng said.

“Fine your head! Just go back and sleep if you like sleeping so much!” Yang Qianqian was angry this time.

This guy had been like this for the past few days, it wasn’t easy to make a trip to Shanghai, and yet he…

Yang Qianqian walked toward the apartment once she had said that, resolving not to talk to Yu Luocheng anymore. Watching as Yang Qianqian walked away angrily, Yu Luocheng’s vision suddenly cleared up and he realized that this was not going the way he wanted to. He hurriedly chased after her.

“Qian, I…I didn’t mean it, I promise I won’t sleep anymore!” Yu Luocheng grasped her hand, not letting her leave.

Yang Qianqian glared at this pervert, pursing her lips together. She was adamant in keeping the promise to herself that she wouldn’t talk to him.

Yu Luocheng, on the other hand, didn’t care whether she spoke or not, and followed her to the apartment as they were.

“Qianqian, I’m really sorry.” Yu Luocheng said, bowing his head.

“Is it really that boring to be with me?” Yang Qianqian shot back.

“It’s not.” Yu Luocheng said, hanging his head in shame. The fact that he had fallen asleep a lot over the past few days had crossed the line, and he felt guilty toward Yang Qianqian.

“Then tell me honestly, what have you been doing at night?” Yang Qianqian asked.

“Nothing, I just sleep…Hey, don’t go! I’ll say it!”

“Then say it now! I’ll blacklist you if you don’t tell me honestly!”

Yu Luocheng had thought that his body could keep up, that was why he hadn’t told Yang Qianqian about it. Also he felt that if he had told her, she would be unhappy about it. After all, Yang Qianqian came to Shanghai to meet her brother but she had only met up with him once, and had been spending the rest of her time with him. It was obvious what that meant.

“It’s Da Luo.” Yu Luocheng confessed.

“What about him?” Yang Qianqian could already take a guess.

“He didn’t join Lin Dong’s team and he intends to live a normal life. Lin Dong and I know that his day job doesn’t give him enough and a big portion of his income comes from boosting people during the night. You’ve seen the place he lives in, it’s bad.”

“Yeah.” Yang Qianqian said, nodding her head.

“The girlfriend he has now, she’s high maintenance. Even if he works day and night, he may not be able to maintain a sufficient income. And the other day in Amoi Yatsen Road, I picked up a phone call for him…” Yu Luocheng explained the call details to her.

“So you’re helping him?” Yang Qianqian asked.

“Yeah, and the day after tomorrow is his birthday, I was intending to give him a more meaningful present. It’s an account that needs to have a 26 consecutive win streak in it.” Yu Luocheng said.

“A 26 consecutive win streak? What’s the point in that title?” Yang Qianqian asked, not understanding the significance.

“Those Taobao stores which boosts accounts need to have a unique treasure in their store to stand out and attract business and skilled players.” Yu Luocheng explained. “If he can maintain this record, Da Luo could get close to a thousand RMB each month. The previous record of the 24 consecutive win streak that he held was broken, and in the past half month, he has been unable to surpass the 25 win streak that broke his record…”

“So you’re helping him break this record?” Yang Qianqian eyed Yu Luocheng, her expression calmer as compared to the few minutes before.

Yu Luocheng nodded, and said, “Yeah, Lin Dong and I are working together. During the day, he will find a way to get to about 12 or 13 win streaks, and I’d take over during the night.”

“That…isn’t that hard?” Yang Qianqian was now at 1,400 points, and to obtain a consecutive win streak in solo queue ranked matches were very hard. One slight misjudgement or losing a lane, and the game was over.

“Yeah, before the 12 or 13 win streak, it’s easier. If you have enough strength, you can dominate completely and the later games become harder. At the seventeenth win streak comes the difference.” Yu Luocheng explained. “Two days ago, I lost after the seventeenth win and it was the same for the day before yesterday. Yesterday we managed to get to a 23 win streak, but we lost in the end too.”

“You’ve been playing for three days straight?” Yang Qianqian asked in shock, looking at Yu Luocheng again.

“Yeah, I’m in charge of the night shift, Lin Dong will take over at six in the morning. It’s a pity but after so many matches, we still have yet to break the record.” Yu Luocheng said in frustration.

Yang Qianqian was suddenly speechless. She looked at him, tears gathering at the corner of her eyes and her lips quivered. When Yu Luocheng saw her about to cry, he panicked for a moment and hurriedly grasped both of her hands.

“Hey, hey, don’t cry. Da Luo is an ex-teammate of ours, and it was because I left the team that he had to let go of the one thing he was most passionate about. I really feel guilty about that, and seeing that his life is so difficult right now, that’s why I’m trying my best to help him. Giving him a meaningful present for his birthday…I…I’ll try just one more time today, and if I don’t make it, I’ll accompany you properly after that, alright? You still have two days before you have to go back right?”

Seeing his panicked and apologetic face, Yang Qianqian’s heart twisted in her chest. She felt like crying, not because it seemed like Yu Luocheng had not shown any interest in spending time with her, but rather because he had been working through the night for the past three days…

During the day, he would accompany her from early morning to nightfall. In other words, he had not gotten any sleep at all for the past three days. Thinking about how exhausted he was as he came out from the cyber cafe every morning, and how he needed to muster the strength to accompany her to explore throughout the whole day, and how he was always falling asleep due to exhaustion in the car…

Yang Qianqian could only feel her heart twist more in her chest, and strangely enough, she felt touched.

Why didn’t he tell her about this?
