Chapter 45 Encounter in the Snow

After the award ceremony, the members of the e-sports club naturally gave warm cheers to the five triumphant players.

Han Shuyan doesn't like crowds, so Lin Cheng directly rejected An Shengyan's invitation to dinner.

As for the distribution of the championship prize money, although there has never been any experience of winning the championship, there were already rules in this regard when the e-sports club was established.

20% of the championship group prize money will be allocated to the e-sports club's activity funds, and the rest will be divided equally among the players participating in the event, and Lin Cheng's additional 1 million won personal prize money for MVP will all belong to him.

Anyway, Lin Cheng doesn't have to worry about it, just wait for the prize money from Shinhan Bank to arrive.

Sitting in the front seat of the taxi, looking at the lights slowly receding on the roadside outside the window, Lin Cheng couldn't help but turn his head and ask:

"Hey! When I was holding the sign on the stage just now, did I look like a fool?"

"You need to be more confident."

Xiao Tong reached out and patted Lin Cheng's shoulder, "The word 'like' is not used very accurately."

Lin Cheng: "..."

"Nu Na, tell me."

Lin Cheng slapped Xiao Tong's hand away and looked at Han Shuyan, with the words 'seeking comfort' almost written on his face.

"No, Ah Cheng is very handsome." Han Shuyan was very serious.

Lin Cheng's mouth corners grinned, and he felt comfortable.

After a while, Xiao Tong reached out and poked Lin Cheng's shoulder in front of him.

"Lin Cheng."

"What for?"

Lin Cheng's tone was stinky, and he was still brooding over the fact that Xiao Tong called him a fool.

"Look, you got so much bonus this time, why don't you just forget about my two cups of milk tea?"

"Don't even think about it."

Lin Cheng refused, "And let's be honest, I'm a very principled person. The milk tea you agreed to is your apology. At most, I'll treat you to a meal. Just tell me what you want to eat."

"Then treat me to a meal at Yunjing Restaurant in Building 63." Xiao Tong opened his mouth.

Lin Cheng changed his words decisively, "I thought about it carefully. Since Comrade Lao Xiao has deeply realized his mistakes and has the courage to admit them, let's forget about the two cups of milk tea. What's the relationship between us? Let's not do those empty words."

What are principles? What is the bottom line?

Brother Cheng's bottom line is that there is no bottom line.

Han Shuyan turned her head and looked out the window, listening to the conversation between the two silently. The lights flashing outside the window revealed the smile on her lips.

The next day, Lin Cheng was originally going to sleep in the bed, but was woken up early by Xiao Tong's phone call.

"What?" Lin Cheng's tone was not good in a daze.

"Snow, heavy snow, Lin Cheng, it snowed last night!"

Lin Cheng glanced out the window and saw a vast expanse of white. Thick snow covered the roads and lawns in the community, and fine snowflakes were still floating in the sky.

As a southerner, Xiao Tong had never seen snow since she was a child, and girls seemed to be particularly yearning for things that were easily associated with romance.

Although South Korea is very cold in winter, it rarely snows in Seoul. This is the first time Xiao Tong has seen such heavy snow.

"It's snowing, so why are you yelling? You are surprised by what you have seen."

Lin Cheng muttered twice, complaining that Xiao Tong disturbed his sleep.

Although Sichuan handsome guy Lin Cheng had never seen snow like Xiao Tong, he did not have any expectations for snowy days.

It was cold and slippery and I couldn't see girls. What expectations were there?

"It's snowing! Sister Shuyan and I are going to the community to make a snowman after dinner. Are you going?"

"No, no."

Lin Cheng refused decisively, threw down his phone and prepared to get into bed and continue sleeping.

After curling up in the bed for a few seconds, Lin Cheng suddenly kicked off the quilt, got up and started to clean up with a curse.

"With such heavy snow, the stupid cat won't be frozen to death?"

After cleaning up, Lin Cheng opened the cupboard, took out a bag of cat food that was half left, and went out mumbling.

"It's so cold, won't someone freeze to death when the snow melts?"

The snow on the ground below the apartment building was very deep, almost over the ankles when stepped on, and the snow on the lawn was even deeper. There were already several little furry kids wrapped like dumplings playing happily in the snow, very excited.

"Uncle! Come and play with us." A little fat man called Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng waved his hands with a smile. He basically knew all the little kids in the community. Xiao Tong often bought some candies to amuse these little guys.

It is said that Korean men are uncles after graduating from high school. Lin Cheng also did not escape the fate of being called uncle by these little kids, even though he explained several times that he was Chinese and they should call him brother.

But what bothered Lin Cheng was that the little kids called him uncle, but called Xiao Tong and Han Shuyan sisters.

Now the snow was not heavy, and Lin Cheng did not hold an umbrella. He walked to the door with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and took the school bus to the Central Library.

"Where did this melon-skinned cat go again?"

After getting off the car, Lin Cheng walked slowly along the road that had been cleared of snow, looking around as he walked.

A black car was parked on the side of the path on the side of the library. A woman in a coat squatted by a tree, reaching out her hand to try to approach a white figure under the tree.

"Nabi, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person,"

It was a short-legged cat with snowflakes covering its back, and its original color could hardly be seen. The cat squatted on the ground, chewing on the dried fish on the ground, and looked at the woman vigilantly.

When the woman reached out to approach, it dropped the dried fish, crouched down, and let out a threatening growl, and slowly retreated as the other party approached.

But it was obvious that the cat's body was trembling constantly.

Seeing the cat's reaction, the woman propped up her chin in frustration, "I want to help you. It's so cold, you can't survive when school is closed."

She had been in a stalemate with the cat for more than ten minutes. Every time she wanted to get close to the cat, it would avoid her, but it refused to run away.

"Don't run away, go home with your sister."

The woman persevered and prepared to go up again to show her goodwill, but the guy waved his short legs with a grin and slapped the woman's hand away.

Fortunately, it hit the cuffs of the coat, and the claws did not scratch the woman's hand.

The woman was very sad, "Why don't you understand?"

"Hey! Are you scratched?" Lin Cheng, who happened to be walking from the opposite side of the path, couldn't help but speak.

"Huh?"

The woman turned around and looked at Lin Cheng, subconsciously raised the collar of her coat, and shrunk half of her face into the collar.

"No, no, I wasn't scratched."

"Meow~~~"

The short-legged cat cried out as soon as it saw Lin Cheng, and took two steps with its short legs to squat at his feet and meowed.

Lin Cheng picked it up by the scruff of its neck and took a closer look, then gently patted off the snowflakes covering its head and back, revealing its original color.

The cat is a little smaller than an average adult cat, with light gray patterns, a round head, and short legs and tail dangling in the air.

Seeing that the cat, which had been grinning and looked fierce before, was held obediently in Lin Cheng's hand, the woman was curious: "Are you its owner?"

"No, this guy is a stray cat."

Lin Cheng squatted down, put the cat down, and poured the cat food into a plastic bowl.

"Eat quickly. I'll find you a place to hide from the snow after you eat. You've probably never seen snow since you were born. You're lucky you didn't freeze to death last night."

"Meow~~~"

The cat called out and ate with big mouthfuls.

The woman also squatted down. The collar of her coat could no longer cover her fair and delicate chin.

Lin Cheng glanced at her and thought she was pretty.

She looked familiar. I seemed to have seen her somewhere before.

Could she be a classmate?
