There are too many teammates who are complete losers.

Chapter 39 Professional Association

Hearing this, Lin was taken aback. "Brother Lu?"

An Yourong's eyes widened: "Eh? It's...it's Brother Lu?"

"Waaah—"

The three people reacted differently. Lu Ren, with his back to the other two, frantically blinked at the girl.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Yueying realized what he meant.

But, but this... this this this this this!

"Is this... Brother Lu?"

Lin was somewhat confused, then looked at Jiang Yueying, only to see that Yueying was frozen and unable to move.

Seeing Lin's dazed gaze, the little boy knew that this was the only way out. As long as he passed the baton to this person, he might be able to escape this calamity.

She stammered, "Yes, that's how it is, it's roughly..."

She glanced at Lu Ren, who was winking and cheering her on, and knew she couldn't let anything slip at this moment, so she stiffened her neck and said:

"The person I like is, is... cough cough, um, yes, no, that's right, it means, cough..."

Lu Ren interrupted at the right moment, putting an arm around Xiao Budian's shoulder: "That's just how Xiao Ying is, she's a bit shy. It's too much of a burden for her to say it to her face like that."

Lin looked at him in a daze, then at Jiang Yueying beside him, and suddenly realized:

"If that's the case, then Brother Lu and Yueying have indeed been quite close lately."

"Kiss, intimate?"

Jiang Yueying wanted to say something, but felt her slender shoulder being pressed hard, and she lowered her head again, sobbing.

In Lin Huanghu's eyes, this meant that Jiang Yueying was shy.

"but……"

Lin Huanghu had other doubts and couldn't help but ask, "When Yueying said she had someone she liked, it seems like she had only known Brother Lu for a day, right?"

"This child said he fell in love with me at first sight."

"1. Love at first sight!?"

Although I know this is to get myself out of a tight spot, things are getting weirder and weirder!

Just as Jiang Yueying was about to say something, Lu Ren pressed her down again.

Don't waste my self-destruction.

Lin vaguely sensed something was wrong, but upon closer reflection, he realized that everything made sense.

Aside from him and You Rong, Yueying had no other friends, mainly because she could hardly communicate normally with other people, but Lu Xiong was an exception.

Not only can they have normal conversations, but they can even crack jokes.

Moreover, the two had a lot to talk about. It was the first time he had ever met someone who could talk endlessly with Yueying about her games, cartoons, novels, and so on.

Even he and You Rong couldn't do that.

Thinking back, in that critical moment last night, Lu Ren, with his strange abilities, could have easily escaped on his own, but in the end, he ended up covered in injuries because of Yueying.

Lin felt as if he had connected everything, and he felt that he understood everything!

He looked at Jiang Yueying with some delight, happy that this little girl had found such a partner:

"Is that how it is? Is it the power of love?"

"Oops, oops, oops—"

Lu Ren chuckled: "Ah, probably?" It's about time we moved on, Lin. It wouldn't be good for you to keep asking.

"So, if that's the case, then you two are already boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Cough cough cough—"

"Cough, cough—"

This time, it wasn't just Jiang Yueying who was coughing; even Lu Ren was coughing incessantly, as if he had choked. The fact that the two of them were coughing like this at the same time really gave off the vibe of a silly couple.

"Hey, what's wrong with you two...?"

Lu Ren recovered and was about to say something when suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"So that's how it is! Brother Lu is Yueying's boyfriend? No wonder you two have been chatting non-stop these past few days; you were secretly dating!"

An Yourong put one hand on Lu Ren's shoulder and the other on Jiang Yueying's shoulder, giving them no chance to explain, and led them away from there:

"I would normally be more careful in choosing a boyfriend like Yueying, but since it's Brother Lu, then there's definitely no problem."

Lin Huanghu, standing behind him, nodded in agreement: "Whether in terms of ability or character, Brother Lu is a trustworthy person."

An Yourong's strength was monstrous; Lu Ren, with a physique of 39, couldn't break free at all, let alone the petite Jiang Yueying.

She tried to explain herself, but An Yourong interrupted her every time she tried to speak.

When Jiang Yueying recovered from the shock, she realized that she had missed the best opportunity to explain. They prepared to go to the Vocational Association to have their professional ratings redone.

Jiang Yueying looked around and realized that there was no point in arguing anymore.

And what should you do after you've refuted your point?

Should I tell Lin Huanghu that I actually like him? That would only make the relationship between the three of us awkward.

Perhaps it's better to be misunderstood for now. When Lu Ren is asked about it sometime, just say that the two of them have already broken up, and then this matter will be over.

And so they will continue like this, in a daze, with You Rong and her, and she will silently bless them. No one will know who she has liked, and no one will be hurt because of it. Maybe this is just fine.

But for some reason, seeing Lin Huanghu and An Yourong chatting and laughing in front of me, just like when the three of them used to walk together, I felt sad for some reason.

"If you're feeling down, just open up a corner for Mu."

She looked up and saw that slightly annoying face. Lu Ren smiled at her and said, "When I was young, I would play with wood in the corner when I was heartbroken, and it would make me feel much better."

Jiang Yueying wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and glared at him fiercely: "What, what terrible ideas did you come up with!"

"Should I go and explain it to them?"

"…don't want."

"Let's go then. We've arrived at the Professional Association. This building is really impressive."

"Hey, Lu Ren..."

"What's wrong?"

"Thanks."

"Ah... um."

"What are you two whispering about here again? I never knew you were such a clingy girlfriend, Yueying."

"Sticky, sticky? Me, me, me..." Jiang Yueying crashed again as expected.

Lu Ren was speechless. Lin Huanghu was an emotional idiot and couldn't see anything, but An Yourong couldn't see who she was covering for?

He said to her in a low voice, annoyed, "If you keep teasing her, this little one will explode at you, and you'll be crying."

"Hehe, wrong, wrong. Tsukikage is too cute. It's kind of fun to tease her."

Lin Huanghu, who was in front, looked at the three of them, smiled, and said, "Alright, Yueying, Brother Lin, did you all bring your ID cards? Come over here and register. I have a VIP channel, so you can go straight up for the test."

"I...I brought...for..."

"It's so good to be rich; you can get VIP treatment anywhere."

Sometimes, it is necessary to show personal information in certain situations, such as when a professional is pursuing further education, joining a guild, or accepting a quest.

Professionals don't readily display their personal profiles; this is where the unified authentication information from the "Professionals Association" comes in.

This certification does not involve talent or attribute values; it only registers the level, job type, and learned skills.

Not only does Jiang Yueying need an update, but Lu Ren also needs to update.

If he wants to go on adventures in the virtual world in the future, he must update this information, otherwise he won't be able to accept many quests.

Lu Ren sighed and handed over his ID card, but Lin Huanghu took it and glanced at it, then froze.

Somewhat uncertainly, he turned Lu Ren's face over and over, comparing him to the person in the photograph.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ren asked.

"Brother Lu, how old are you again this year?"

"Oh, 17? You just had your birthday last month. What's up?"
