Chapter 425 -424: The Person Chasing Xiao Qimo Could Circle Jinjing Three Times
Ye Jinwen stared at Yun Sang and asked as if trying to remember something, “Hey Yun, I don’t recall you being so obsessed with burgers?”
Yun Sang rolled his eyes lazily, with a wry smile, “My mom loves them, but my dad won’t let me compete with her, so my true nature has been suppressed.”
Alright, that’s a compelling reason!
Ye Jinwen felt a bit sorry for him but also truly envied him.
He envied Yun Sang’s parents, as well as Xiao Qimo’s.
Unlike his own family, who cared so much about career and profits.
Lu Mian silently glanced at their team leader: What a sorry man.
“Stop the nonsense and let’s eat!”
Yun Sang took one final look at the burger on his plate, forced down his cravings, thinking that after all, it wasn’t the first or second time he’d been through this experience of seeing but not eating.
He habitually headed for the couch.
Xiao Qimo was already comfortably seated there.
When he saw Yun Sang approaching, he quickly placed the burger plate beside himself.
“This seat is taken,” he declared, devoid of mercy.
Ye Jinwen was already used to it and took a small stool with one hand, placing it on the opposite side of the coffee table.
There was no dining table in this room, so the four of them had to gather around the coffee table to eat.
Yun Sang spat out in disdain and patted his own leg, “Me, with my long legs!
You want me to sit on a small stool?”
Xiao Qimo ignored him, and while picking up the plate of burgers, waved Lu Mian over.
She obediently walked over, looked at the two men opposite her who couldn’t stretch out their legs, slightly pursed her lips, and softly thanked Xiao Qimo.
Having been deprived of her beloved burgers for several days, Lu Mian was very grateful for Xiao Qimo and the burgers his mother had handmade.
Sitting on the couch, she neglected the other dishes and started with the burger.

Her movements were graceful; even the act of taking a big bite seemed pleasing to the eye when done by her.
Seeing her eat with joy, Xiao Qimo commenced another round of courting.
“Every New Year’s Eve, my family makes the dinner themselves.
Once you come back with me, you’ll be able to eat even more burgers like these.”
His smile was both sincere and gentle, almost as if the words “I am not a liar” were written across his face.
The plastic brothers, Ye Jinwen and Yun Sang, sat quietly across from them, watching the farce unfold.
Shameless, using your own mother to lure a young girl!
Lu Mian elegantly took a bite of her burger, a dab of salad dressing sticking to the corner of her mouth, which she gently licked away with the tip of her tongue.
Xiao Qimo suddenly felt a twitch in his throat.
This little rascal, always flirting without self-awareness.
Lu Mian, satisfied, swallowed a mouthful of the burger.
Listening to Xiao Qimo talk about going home, she suddenly recalled what her older brother had warned her before leaving.
Her brother had said not to casually visit a boy’s home.
She conveyed this to Xiao Qimo without any alterations.
Xiao Qimo’s heart almost stopped: Could his uncle be any more of a saboteur?
He hadn’t done anything to hurt his uncle’s feelings, except maybe for a few intense stares in the past.
If the little rascal actually took her brother’s words to heart, wouldn’t his year end terribly?
The two plastic brothers across from him struggled to hold back their laughter.
While Xiao Qimo was racking his brains for a solution, Lu Mian’s next words came slowly, “But it’s okay, I’m not going to your place as a guest, I’m going to acknowledge a godmother.”
“…”
Not only did Xiao Qimo not feel comforted, but he also felt even more disheartened.
Yun Sang laughed with shaking shoulders beside them, not even delicious food could shut his mouth.
Watching the drama unfold, he raised his eyebrows at Xiao Qimo before saying to Lu Mian, “Sister, you probably don’t know yet, but in Jinjing, the number of people who want to catch up with Xiao Qimo could circle Jinjing thrice.”
Lu Mian’s hand, holding the burger, paused—there really were quite a lot.
She pursed her lips, deep in thought with her lashes demurely lowered.
The meal was eaten in a disheveled manner, Xiao Qimo barely ate anything, but Ye Jinwen and Yun Sang, on the other hand, enjoyed their share quite a bit.
After consuming two burgers and some side dishes, Lu Mian also felt quite satisfied.
She grew increasingly fond of Xiao Qimo’s mother, she must be a very gentle and meticulous mother.
After the meal, there was plenty of time left, so Lu Mian stayed without going back, while Xiao Qimo, feeling blocked, went to deal with official business and secluded himself for a while.
Yun Sang had to keep an eye on the team’s training and left rubbing his full belly.
Feeling bored, Lu Mian looked at the idle laptop beside her and asked Xiao Qimo, “Can I play on your computer?”
The man lifted his head from the desktop computer, “What do you want to play?”
“Just a game.”
“Go ahead,” Xiao Qimo said, and then added another sentence, “But don’t use voice chat.”
Lu Mian smiled, “I never chat with people in games.”
Okay, that sentence truly comforted Xiao Qimo.
Then he allowed himself a slight smile, shifting his gaze back to his own screen.
He focused on an email that featured the Sufeng gaming logo, his eyes deepening as he began to reply.
Xiao Qimo’s computer had a password, and Lu Mian subconsciously entered 150513—surprisingly, it worked and she got in.
Once inside, there were two neat rows of applications on the computer, very much in Xiao Qimo’s style, a testament to his obsession with cleanliness and order.
Lu Mian had intended on playing the newest game released by Sufeng, thinking she would need to download and install it, but to her surprise, she found the game application among the two rows.
This saved her the trouble.
She clicked in, registered an account, and successfully logged in.
Her first reaction was to check the software information, and unsurprisingly, the game designer was the third-generation gaming deity of Sufeng games, Fei Nie.
She got the hang of it quickly, mastering the basic information and swiftly making it through the beginner’s village.
But after completing the beginner’s village, her patience wore thin; the game didn’t elicit much anticipation, and it was easy to become bored, leading to a rather unsatisfactory user experience.
She sluggishly exited the game and took another glance at the laptop’s desktop, where she discovered another hit game, “Heroes Association.”
It was one of her favorite games, and she didn’t hesitate to click into it and log into her alt account.
Lu Mian instinctively checked the leaderboard.
Ye Jinwen had just finished tidying the table and walked by her, glancing at the computer screen, “Little Mianmian, are you checking out the leaderboard?”
He walked over, pointing at the top account on the leaderboard, “Do you see this 3 minutes and 12 seconds?
I’m telling you, no one across the entire server can surpass this score!
Impressive, right?”
As he said this, he glanced inadvertently at Xiao Qimo, who didn’t notice and was focused on replying to messages.
Preoccupied with her own thoughts, Lu Mian didn’t catch Ye Jinwen’s slight gesture.
That 3 minutes and 12 seconds was the record for a wild boss.
It had been on the board for 7 years and every time she logged in she would take a glance, yet no one had broken the record.
Of course, she hadn’t tried to break it either.
She closed the leaderboard and leisurely started a new game, diving into play.
Just as she finished the last game, the computer screen suddenly went black, followed by a forceful program initiation.
