After walking for a while, the two of them arrived at a bus stop.
Zhang Xiaotong was the same as the other people waiting for the bus. She had her head down and was playing with her phone.
However, she would occasionally raise her head and casually glance behind her before quickly lowering her head again.
Liu Zilang was standing behind the bus stop as he stretched and kicked his legs out of boredom.
Looking at the students in school uniforms waiting for the bus under the bus stop sign, he felt that time was slipping away and he was getting old.
Suddenly, he saw a row of claw machines outside a shop behind him. It was the type that used coins to catch dolls.
Liu Zilang was an "internet addict" and was not interested in such things. However, he vaguely remembered that when Zhang Xiaotong had just entered the family, she would pester him to catch dolls whenever they went shopping together.
However, Liu Zilang's father's skill was too bad. Most of the time, he would not catch anything even after throwing a bunch of coins into the claw machine. He would often get so angry that he wanted to smash the claw machine, causing the little girl who was watching him to tear up.
In the past, Liu Zilang would basically laugh at his father.
Then, he would be kicked away.
At that moment, Liu Zilang looked at the row of claw machines at the corner of the street.
Suddenly, Liu Zilang had an idea as he quietly walked over.
.....
As he approached the claw machine, Liu Zilang felt for the coins in his pocket.
There were not many opportunities.
The margin for error was very low.
He first inserted a coin to feel it and realized that it was quite easy.
Then, he confidently started "shopping" in front of the claw machines as if he was shopping.
Many of the dolls in the claw machines were cartoon characters such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Pikachu. There were also some plush toys.
Liu Zilang looked around and his gaze soon stopped in front of a claw machine.
Inside the claw machine was a two-headed doll wearing a hamster's cape. Its face was about the same size as its body but it did not look out of place. Instead, it looked extremely cute.
'That's it!'
Liu Zilang's eyes lit up as he quickly selected his target.
He inserted the coin and calmed himself down.
Liu Zilang quickly rotated the joystick 360 degrees and the claw machine's frame began to rotate.
Squinting his eyes, he quickly pulled the clip over.
'Target locked!'
Liu Zilang decisively pressed the button and the clip quickly fell.
A headshot!
The next moment, the two-headed doll in the hamster cloak was quickly caught.
No pressure at all!
The corner of Liu Zilang's mouth curled up as he whistled. He despised his father in his heart.
However, when he turned around, he saw a bus coming from afar. Liu Zilang quickly picked up the doll and ran back.
.....
Under the bus stop sign.
Zhang Xiaotong was chatting with Jiang Yumeng, the loli with glasses who had just arrived. Zhang Xiaotong would occasionally glance at her surroundings.
"Xiaotong, are you looking for someone?" Jiang Yumeng asked curiously.
"No …" Zhang Xiaotong quickly waved her hand and whispered in panic, "No."
Jiang Yumeng glanced at her and felt that Zhang Xiaotong was acting weird today.
At this moment, Jiang Yumeng heard the sound of a car. She looked at the intersection not far away and said, "Ah, the car is here!"
"Mmm." Zhang Xiaotong nodded. Her voice sounded a little gloomy.
"Eh?
Isn't that your brother? "Jiang Yumeng exclaimed.
Zhang Xiaotong immediately looked up and saw Liu Zilang running toward her from behind with a doll in his hand.
.....
"Phew!" Liu Zilang panted as he ran to the bus stop sign.
'I have to admit that I'm old!'
Seeing that the bus was almost there, he quickly passed the doll in his hand to her. "Here you go. I just got it from the claw machine."
Zhang Xiaotong's face lit up when she saw the doll in Liu Zilang's hand. However, she quickly hid it.
She lowered her head and silently took the doll from Liu Zilang's hand.
"Wow!
It's Amami!
It's so cute! "The loli with glasses, Jiang Yumeng, suddenly clasped her hands in front of her. Her eyes were filled with stars.
Liu Zilang said proudly, "That claw machine is too easy. I got it on my first try. I'll bring you guys to do it next time."
Then, he smiled and said, "What do you think of this doll? It looks like Xiaotong, right?"
Jiang Yumeng looked at the doll and then at Zhang Xiaotong. Then, she smiled and nodded. "Mmm, mmm!"
On the other hand, Zhang Xiaotong was startled. Her face blushed and she scoffed. "No way!"
As soon as she said that, the bus stopped in front of the bus stop.
Zhang Xiaotong pulled Jiang Yumeng who was waving goodbye to Liu Zilang. The two of them got on the bus and swiped their student cards. Then, they walked to the back of the bus and found a seat.
Liu Zilang smiled and waved at the window.
Zhang Xiaotong happened to look at him. She quickly looked away and looked elsewhere.
Jiang Yumeng who was sitting next to her looked at Liu Zilang who was at the bus stop. Then, she looked at Zhang Xiaotong and said softly, "Your brother treats you quite well. He even sent you to school and caught dolls for you."
"No, in the past, he …" Zhang Xiaotong stopped talking. Then, she said, "Forget it, let's not talk about him."
Jiang Yumeng chuckled. Then, she looked at Zhang Xiaotong who was holding the doll on her lap. She could not help but say, "I didn't realize that you and Amami are quite similar."
"No way!" Zhang Xiaotong pouted in dissatisfaction.
"You don't like Amami?" Jiang Yumeng stole a glance at Zhang Xiaotong. Then, she probed, "Give it to me then."
"No!"
As soon as she said that, Zhang Xiaotong said firmly. She even hugged Amami on her lap tightly.
"I'm just joking. Look at how nervous you are." Jiang Yumeng covered her mouth and giggled.
Then, on the way to school.
Zhang Xiaotong was not playing with her phone. She was staring at the doll on her lap the whole time.
When she was about to get off the bus, the edge of her mouth suddenly curled up. She smiled.
.....
Liu Zilang did not have the time to guess what a little girl was thinking. After he sent Zhang Xiaotong to school, he strolled home.
Since he had nothing to do in the morning, Liu Zilang started streaming in his room.
For a streaming platform like Douyu, the morning was a time when many popular streamers were streaming. Hence, it was rather quiet.
That was because many viewers watched live streams in the afternoon and at night. Especially from eight to twelve o 'clock at night, it was the peak time.
Therefore, the more popular streamers usually streamed from evening to midnight. Very few of them streamed in the morning.
He opened up the PlayerUnknown's Battleground section. There were very few streamers streaming in PlayerUnknown's Battleground. Most of them were small streamers with ten to twenty thousand viewers.
After Liu Zilang opened up the streaming software, he entered the game.
He was not in a hurry to start. Instead, he opened up a few leaderboards in the game.
It was his first time seeing this leaderboard. Currently, it was divided into six servers: Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe, Australia, North America, and South America.
He opened up the Asia server's Rank Leaderboard. The top ten IDs were printed in his eyes.
IG-Wolves。
Tyloo-NightHawk。
Se7en-Lech。
17_Shou。
APulsvable。
...
As he scrolled down, Liu Zilang realized that most of the top ten IDs were familiar to him from the FPS community.
