Song Fan wasn’t in the mood to continue listening. She said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go home first.”
Song Ting walked over and suggested, “You just experienced such a dangerous situation. It’s better for you to come back with us.”
Song Fan looked at Song Ting in surprise. She hadn’t expected him to say something like that. She shook her head and replied, “I’ll just go back to my own place.”
Her response hinted that she didn’t view the Song Family mansion as her home. This took Song Ting by surprise, as he had assumed that Song Fan had moved out only for work convenience.
As Song Fan was about to leave, Song Ting stopped her. “Where did you learn your marksmanship?” he asked.
“I’ve only played live CS before. I haven’t received any formal marksmanship training,” Song Fan replied casually.
These words were entirely true. While Song Fan had never taken a formal marksmanship class, her accuracy had been honed through real-life experience with firearms. To her, real-life “Counter-strike” was all about using real guns for combat.
Song Ting furrowed his brow. “Girls should engage in more dignified pursuits, rather than involving themselves with weapons.”
Song Yin agreed, saying, “That’s right, Sister. We should learn more refined and ladylike skills, and focus on things like flower arrangement and painting. Guns look too intimidating.”
Song Fan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “If it weren’t for the few of us holding on inside, you might not be standing here right now.”
Song Fan���s patience had run out. She walked over, took Song Kai’s car keys, and said, “Follow them back and lend me your car. I’ll drop it off at school.”
After Song Kai agreed, she swiftly made her way to the parking lot, hopped on her motorcycle, and rode off without looking back.
The incident at the Gu Family’s banquet must be the headlines in the upper echelons of society. However, due to the Gu Family’s influence, no media outlet dared to report it. Thus, the outside world remained oblivious to the shooting incident that had occurred in A City.
The following day, Song Fan arrived at school early on her motorcycle. As she entered the corridor, she overheard her classmates’ conversation.
“Did you guys hear that ‘Future City’ is hosting an online competition? The first-place winner gets the world’s best equipment for life, and they’ll also give autographs to online viewers,” Student A exclaimed.
Student B chimed in enthusiastically, “Sunflower is definitely going to take first place. Nobody can compare to her skills.”
“I wouldn’t be so sure. I think the skills from The Wilderness are pretty good,” Student C countered.
Student B expressed disdain, “How dare he want to compete with Sunflower?” “What do you mean by that?” Student C stood up and questioned.
Student A attempted to mediate, saying, “Regardless of who wins, it’s a positive event. Friendship should come first, and competition second. You should understand that.”
Only then did the two of them stop arguing. Student D, who had been listening without saying anything, chimed in, “If I could get the autograph of the first-place winner, I’d frame it and keep it on my wall for life.”
Student B shook his head and replied, “It’s not that easy to get. Many people entered the lottery. It must be very lucky to get it.”
“Are you guys talking about Sunflower?” At that moment, Song Yin walked in and said, “I happen to know her.”
This statement sent shockwaves through the class. Almost everyone crowded around, eagerly asking, “Really? Do you truly know Sunflower?”
“Of course! Isn’t it Sunflower, the number-one player on the entire server? I’ve met her privately, and we can be considered good friends,” Song Yin replied with a gentle smile.
Hearing this, everyone became even more excited and bombarded Song Yin with questions about Sunflower. For a moment, Song Yin relished the feeling of being the center of attention, as if she were a celebrity.
Meanwhile, Song Fan, who was standing outside the classroom door, couldn’t help but suppress a laugh. When did Song Yin and her become good friends?
Student A raised another question, asking, “Is Sunflower really a girl? In the game, it shows she’s female, but that could just be a random choice. Is that how it is in reality?”
Song Yin confidently stated, “Of course, Sunflower is a guy. Girls are terrible at gaming. How could they possibly be the number one player on the entire server?”
Tingting slammed her book onto the table and retorted, “You’re being too extreme. What do you mean girls aren’t good at gaming?”
Song Yin, feigning innocence, replied, “But I’m just speaking the truth. More boys play games, after all.”
Tingting was visibly frustrated and exclaimed, “Quit talking nonsense. I doubt you’ve ever seen Sunflower.”
Song Yin, still pretending, pointed at Tingting and countered, “I’ve actually seen him before. Tingting, it’s not right for you to make baseless accusations like that.”
Tingting was furious when she heard Song Yin’s words. The boys in the class, inclined to believe Song Yin, sided with her and warned Tingting, “You better not jump to conclusions. If Song Yin says it’s a boy, then it must be a boy..”
