Chapter 34 Rita, you're not just after my body, are you?
"Yeah, that's true..." Rita's mood brightened, and she couldn't help but smile again. "You're so good with words, Mozi! But during our duo queue earlier, I really owe you a lot for giving me resources and protecting me."
At this point, Rita suddenly remembered something, and her tone became somewhat subtle:
"By the way, Brother Mo, about our bet on a ten-game winning streak... I'm a man of my word, so tell me, what are your demands?"
When Rita asked that question, her heart involuntarily quickened.
In the middle of the night, a man and a woman were making a voice call. The other party was a young, hot-blooded player, not to mention that he had joked about "love" when choosing a hero before.
Is this guy really going to make some unreasonable demands?
For example, do you want more revealing photos? Or maybe you'd make some more... suggestive requests...
Rita's mind flashed through a million embarrassing scenes from domineering CEO novels, and she even mentally prepared how to politely refuse Lin Mo if he made unreasonable demands.
However, Lin Mo's answer completely threw her thoughts into disarray.
"V me 50".
"……what?"
Rita's face was filled with astonishment.
He didn't ask for private photos, didn't try to take advantage of me verbally, and didn't even make a flirtatious joke.
Is he just trying to make himself V50?
This was a question that Rita couldn't answer no matter how hard she tried.
After her initial shock, a smile appeared on her face.
She felt that she might have misunderstood Lin Mo.
His glib and slick manner during the previous live stream may have been just for the sake of the show.
In reality, he is clearly a gentle and refined gentleman.
But isn't mine a little too cheap?
"Hey, what do you mean? Do you think my promise is only worth fifty dollars? Give me a different request!" Rita said, feigning anger.
"Oh~" Lin Mo thought about it seriously for a moment, "Then I'll give you 200."
Rita: ...
"Seriously, you're obsessed with money, aren't you?!" Rita's tone was tinged with helplessness. "Can't we have something normal... Fine, I'll decide for you. I'll treat you to a meal."
As soon as Rita finished speaking, a "gurgling" sound was heard.
She looked down... and saw that it was coming from inside her own stomach.
Having just been thrashed in a ranked match, and feeling wide awake and desperately needing something delicious to soothe her soul, coupled with her growing affection for Lin Mo, she blurted out:
"Yes, there's no time like the present! Brother Mo, come out quickly, I'll treat you to a late-night snack!"
"Now?" Lin Mo glanced at the time. "It's already one in the morning."
"So what if it's 1 a.m.? Shanghai's nightlife is just getting started!" Rita thought it over and over and it seemed like a good idea. "It's settled then. Haidilao or BBQ? I'll drive to your base to pick you up! I live pretty close by!"
Lin Mo feigned hesitation: "Sister Ta Zi, it's the middle of the night, and I'm just an innocent, naive eighteen-year-old boy. Going out to meet the most beautiful female commentator on the entire internet... I'm a little scared. What if you're attracted to my good looks?"
"Pfft!" Rita burst out laughing, then scolded, "Are you kidding me?! You're a grown man, and you're afraid I'll be after you? I'm a girl, and I'm not afraid at all! Are you coming out or not? If you don't, our bet is off!"
"Of course I'll go if someone's treating. Just let me know when you're almost there." Lin Mo accepted the offer with a smile.
……
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo got up and went to the bedroom, casually pulled out a black casual jacket and put it on, and tidied his hair a little.
Ten minutes later, the phone screen lit up, and Rita sent a WeChat message: "I'm almost at your base gate, come down now."
"Come down right now."
After replying, Lin Mo quietly pushed open the dormitory door and prepared to go downstairs.
It's worth mentioning that although Lin Mo is relatively unknown in EDG, because he arrived last, his bedroom is a small room in the corner. Although the space is small, at least it's a single room, so he won't disturb his teammates' rest.
But to Lin Mo's surprise, just as he reached the corner of the stairwell, he heard the sound of footsteps in slippers.
Lin Mo looked up and bumped into the factory manager, who was wearing SpongeBob SquarePants pajamas and had messy hair, as he came out to use the restroom.
The factory manager rubbed his sleepy eyes and, using the corridor light, recognized the neatly dressed Lin Mo. He paused for a moment, then asked, "Xiao Mo? It's almost 1:30 in the morning. What are you doing dressed like this?"
"I have something to do outside," Lin Mo replied without stopping, preparing to slip away.
"Wait!" The factory manager grabbed his arm. "What could be going on in the middle of the night? You just made a name for yourself on the field today, and then you went viral on your livestream tonight. It's a sensitive time right now. You didn't get tricked out by some shady online friend or a crazy female fan, did you?"
Lin Mo was both amused and exasperated: "Brother, what are you thinking? He's not a fan, just a friend who invited me out for a late-night snack."
"Friends?" The factory manager frowned even deeper, his eyes full of suspicion. "Do you think I don't know your background? All you do is train, train, train. Where would you find friends like this, inviting you out for late-night snacks? Male or female? What if it's a honey trap? Let me tell you, I've been there. I've seen plenty of this kind of mess in the esports world!"
Seeing the factory manager's "I won't release him until he explains himself" attitude, Lin Mo helplessly shrugged: "I'm not lying to you, I'm just going to have a meal, I'll be right back."
"No!" The factory manager's eyes were firm. "I'm worried about you in the middle of the night. I'll go down with you to check. If he really is your legitimate friend, I won't stop you."
Lin Mo couldn't persuade the stubborn factory manager, and besides, explaining would probably be even more troublesome, so he simply let him have his way: "Alright, let's go then."
The two walked down the stairs one after the other, passed through the quiet first-floor lobby, and pushed open the door to the EDG base.
A gentle breeze was blowing outside; the area was deserted, with only the streetlights casting a yellow glow.
Not far from the base gate, a Mercedes-Benz C260 sedan was parked on the roadside.
A tall female figure was leaning against the front of the car.
The girl wore a light gray hooded sweatshirt on her upper body and a pair of slim-fitting black yoga pants on her lower body, which perfectly outlined her straight and slender legs. She casually wore a pair of white chunky sneakers on her feet.
With her hands in her hoodie pockets, she exuded a relaxed and casual vibe.
Bathed in the warm yellow light of the streetlights, her unadorned profile was exquisitely beautiful.
Hearing the base gate open, Rita turned around, smiled, and waved: "Here I am!"
Lin Mo smiled and nodded, preparing to walk over, but found that the factory manager behind him hadn't moved.
He turned around and looked.
The factory manager seemed to be frozen in place, his eyes wide as saucers, staring intently at the Rita in front of the Mercedes.
"Xiao Mo..." The factory manager mechanically turned to look at Lin Mo, his tongue almost tied in knots, "You...the friend you mentioned who treated you to a late-night snack, is...is it her?!"
