19: Tsundere? As If
"Uh, let me see... your computer is way too clean." Leticia was holding Bai Ling's laptop, helping her download the game.
Yes, Bai Ling had a computer. Not only did she have one, it was the most advanced model currently on the market.
"Someone gave it to me." Bai Ling sat obediently behind Leticia. "But I've never used it."
"Little Qian, have your friend join the guild! Join the guild!" On the other side, the Guild Leader's voice hadn't stopped.
"What's a guild?" Bai Ling was puzzled by these gaming terms.
And Leticia was too lazy to explain to Bai Ling. "You go chat with the Guild Leader first. I still need some time here."
Bai Ling's computer still had some settings that needed adjustment. Leticia conservatively estimated she'd need another ten minutes or so to properly get the game downloaded for Bai Ling.
This time would be perfect for Bai Ling and the Guild Leader to get acquainted.
This Bai Ling was currently an unemployed vagrant. She only came to bother her because she was bored.
As long as she made more friends and let those friends occupy her free time, Leticia could be liberated!
"Oh." Bai Ling sat in Leticia's big chair. "So soft."
This chair was much more comfortable than the hard wooden chair at her home.
"Little Qian, can I have your friend operate your account?" The Guild Leader called out to Leticia from across the connection.
"Whatever!"
"Cough cough, um, what's your name, miss?" The Guild Leader asked somewhat nervously.
Just from hearing her voice, she could tell that Little Qian's friend was extraordinary. This friend was definitely a super beautiful girl.
"Just call her Little Bai!" Before Bai Ling could speak, Leticia intercepted.
She was afraid Bai Ling would directly give out her real name.
This girl had basically no contact with the internet, so doing something like using her real name online wasn't impossible.
"Mm, Little Bai." Although she felt inexplicably annoyed by this nickname, Bai Ling still accepted it.
"Oh, then Miss Little Bai, first you put the headphone cable... never mind, it's fine without them. I'll teach you some basic operations."
"Okay."
Facts proved that although she was gifted at beating people up, when it came to beating people up in games, Bai Ling was still too green.
Even the Guild Leader, who could barely touch the threshold of being a noob, could defeat Bai Ling's character with her account that could basically only be described as gold on the outside but rotten within. This truly amazed Leticia, who was watching from the side.
The account in Bai Ling's hands was Leticia's years of hard work. If not in the top ten of the entire server, it was definitely in the top hundred.
Combined with Leticia's own technical skills, this account could be considered outstanding in the entire server.
"Guild Leader, bullying noobs isn't good, right?" Leticia accused out of inner righteousness.
"I'm letting Little Bai adapt to the cruelty of battle in advance!" The Guild Leader spoke confidently. Bullying this little newbie Bai Ling made her confidence inflate rapidly.
"Guild Leader is very strong." Bai Ling nodded very seriously.
No, the Guild Leader is the worst in the guild, Leticia complained internally.
And the Guild Leader completely didn't teach Bai Ling the operation methods, right? Otherwise, with Bai Ling's absolutely exceptional reaction speed, how could she possibly be slaughtered by the Guild Leader?
"When the Guild Leader's attack is about to hit you, press this key. When you want to hit her, press this..." Leticia bent down and taught Bai Ling some basic key bindings.
Bai Ling listened very seriously, nodding from time to time.
A minute later, Bai Ling indicated she completely understood.
"Why do I feel like Little Qian, you're so gentle when talking to Little Bai?" The Guild Leader on the other end of the radio waves felt like she'd been force-fed dog food. Honestly, this was the first time she'd seen such a gentle Little Qian.
"Gentle? No such thing." Leticia naturally wouldn't admit it.
Although when she'd just been close to Bai Ling teaching her how to press skills, she had indeed slightly slowed her speech, but this had nothing to do with being gentle!
Right, nothing at all!
"Oh, I get it. Classic tsundere." The Guild Leader chuckled.
"Tsundere?"
"Huh?" Leticia was a bit confused. Were there still people being tsundere in this day and age? What a joke.
How could she, Leticia, possibly be tsundere? She clearly only had the "tsun" without the "dere."
"Um, what's tsundere?" Bai Ling, who was completely disconnected from society, didn't understand what the Guild Leader meant.
The Guild Leader hummed for a while, then decided to play dumb under Leticia's threatening tooth-grinding sounds. "Hahaha, it's just an adjective."
"Describing girls like Lei... Qianqian?"
"Mm, that's right." The Guild Leader's voice carried laughter. Unknowingly, her originally low mood had improved quite a bit. "Little Qian is tsundere."
"I am not!" Leticia wanted to snatch the mouse from Bai Ling's hand and close the voice call with the Guild Leader.
But Bai Ling obviously didn't have this awareness. She still gripped the mouse tightly, and Leticia's warm palm was now pressed against the back of her hand.
"Sorry." Leticia pulled back her hand as if she'd been electrocuted.
Bai Ling looked with complex eyes at the spot that had just been touched by Leticia, then shook her head calmly. "It's fine."
