Chapter 12 How are you so amazing?

The team's voice chat seemed to have been muted, and there was no sound for a moment.

A few seconds later, Sun Rongtao's loud voice broke the silence: "Who is this?"

Wen Zhi turned on her microphone and answered briefly, "My friend."

Upon hearing Wen Zhi's voice, Sun Rongtao's attitude changed instantly. He chuckled and said, "No problem, I can take you all with me."

Song Juelan, who was adjusting his equipment, paused when he heard Wen Zhi say those three words.

The word "friend" kept echoing in his mind.

Although I knew it was just Wen Zhi being polite, I still felt a little happy, as if I had gotten a little closer to Wen Zhi.

He Jin and Ding Mingjun tacitly ignored Sun Rongtao and greeted Song Juelan warmly.

After a brief silence, the microphone below the minimalist profile picture lit up, and a deep, magnetic voice came through: "Hello."

The subwoofer's bass was so powerful it made everyone's ears tingle, and they almost dropped their mice.

Ding Mingjun grabbed his phone, his fingers flying across the keyboard, and sent a question to the dormitory group chat.

Ding Mingjun: [@Zhi, be honest, is this your type?]

The phone screen on the table lit up, and Wen Zhi glanced at the messages on it, too lazy to pay attention.

He didn't deny that every aspect of Song Juelan suited his aesthetic, but he really didn't have any other feelings for Song Juelan, otherwise he wouldn't have failed to clarify that he and Xiao Tang were brothers.

Besides, Xiao Tang's swimming lessons will end in a little over a month. Once he returns to school, he won't have another chance to see Song Juelan.

Therefore, it's impossible for him and Song Juelan to develop any relationship.

After gathering five players, the game quickly matched them up and they entered the hero selection screen.

Wen Zhi habitually chose a support hero that was easy to operate, but then suddenly remembered that Song Juelan was on the team. She silently moved the mouse and switched to a hero that he was more familiar with.

This was the first time he had played a game with Song Juelan, and he wanted to save face for himself.

He and his two roommates had already chosen their heroes, only to find that the other two had coincidentally chosen junglers.

Sun Rongtao said with dissatisfaction, "Hey, what do you mean?"

He Jin and Ding Mingjun both became a little nervous when they saw the two of them trying to take a seat.

If Wen Zhi's friend has a bad temper and Sun Rongtao refuses to give up his seat, wouldn't they end up arguing?

Unexpectedly, the next second, Song Juelan changed his status to AD without saying a word, showing no intention of paying attention to Sun Rongtao at all.

He Jin and Ding Mingjun were both taken aback.

This person has a pretty good temper?

Sun Rongtao had already rolled up his sleeves, ready to have a verbal battle with this person, but to his surprise, the person completely ignored him.

His words were ignored by everyone; no one paid any attention to them.

What are you pretending to be?

Sun Rongtao glared fiercely at Song Juelan's name, determined to teach him a lesson later.

Meanwhile, Song Juelan was completely unaware of the undercurrents within the team.

His gaze was fixed intently on the hero Wen Zhi had chosen—a lively young girl holding a magic wand and smiling brightly.

It turns out Wen Zhi likes to play support roles.

They're quite cute.

After entering the game, Wen Zhi controlled his support character, who was wearing a short skirt, and followed behind Song Juelan.

He didn't have high hopes for Song Juelan's gaming skills, since Song Juelan worked part-time at the swimming pool during the summer vacation and probably rarely played games.

Tonight, all we can do is watch Sun Rongtao show off.

With this in mind, Wen Zhi focused intently on following Song Juelan, wanting to protect him.

A few minutes later, Wen Zhi's eyes widened, dazzled by the operations on the screen.

Song Juelan... seems to have some skills?

Sun Rongtao harbored a grudge against Song Juelan and deliberately avoided supporting their lane. Unexpectedly, they still managed to gain an advantage, which made him furious. He gripped the mouse tightly and gritted his teeth.

When He Jin and Ding Mingjun saw that someone could carry them, they immediately got excited and praised him generously.

"Brother, you're really capable!"

"That was amazing! Absolutely incredible!"

Until a pleasant voice with a different style interrupted.

Wen Zhi still had an unfinished lollipop in her mouth, her cheeks slightly puffed out, and her voice a little muffled: "So good!"

"Wow, that was a really cool move."

"How are you so amazing?"

He had been spending every day with Xiaotang lately, and his tone unconsciously carried a hint of coaxing a child, without him even realizing it.

He Jin and Ding Mingjun gradually fell silent, listening quietly to Wen Zhi's soft, sweet praise through their earphones.

Although the voice was indeed very pleasant, the thought that it was being used to compliment an adult male with a deep voice made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Unable to bear it any longer, He Jin found a patch of grass to squat down, grabbed his phone, and started banging away on the keyboard.

He Jin: [Are you seducing him?]

Even after all this, he still won't admit that this person is his type!

Wen Zhi was circling around Song Juelan when she glanced at the lit screen and her fingers on the keyboard froze.

Wen Zhi: [?]

Wen Zhi: [???]

Ding Mingjun also took the time to chime in on the group chat.

Ding Mingjun: [Why haven't you ever praised us like that!]

Wen Zhi rolled her eyes inwardly.

Those two aren't much better at the game than him; he's already showing good temper by not hurling insults at them.

Wen Zhi: [I also wish I had this opportunity.]

He Jin and Ding Mingjun have read the sarcastic message but have not replied.

Putting down her phone, Wen Zhi looked thoughtfully at the game interface on the screen, recalling her tone just now.

It seems a bit inappropriate, just like the tone of his voice when he spoke to Xiaotang.

But what kind of seduction is this?

How could anyone be moved by such a coaxing tone?

In the game, the AD carry next to him struck a cool pose, then crashed straight into the wall. After pausing for a moment, he turned around as if nothing had happened.

Off-screen, Song Juelan's neck and ear tips were already bright red, her thin lips were pressed into a straight line, and her slender fingers were stiffly operating the keyboard.

He had heard Wen Zhi speak in such a gentle tone before, but she always did it to Xiao Tang; this was the first time she had used it on him.

It seems... the destructive power is greater than imagined.

No wonder Xiao Tang always listens obediently to Zhi.

Song Juelan felt that such thoughts were inappropriate, but at the same time, he wanted to hear Wen Zhi praise him a few more times.

Every time that soft, clear voice rang in his ears, a tingling sensation would run through his fingertips, and his heart would pound violently.

The game ended, and we won without any suspense.

When the results were displayed on the computer screen, Sun Rongtao was so angry that his face turned red, and he almost smashed the keyboard.

Song Juelan's performance in this round was impeccable, and his final score was naturally the highest in the team. Wen Zhi followed closely behind Song Juelan and ranked second in the score.

He was so focused on targeting Song Juelan that he missed several team fights and made two mistakes, resulting in a score that ranked only third.

This undoubtedly contradicts his statement before the game that he would carry the team to victory.

Not to mention that throughout the entire game, he kept hearing Wen Zhi praising Song Juelan in his earphones, which made him furious and even more annoyed with Song Juelan.

Sun Rongtao gritted his teeth and urged He Jin to start the next round quickly.

He fought even harder this time, wanting to show off in front of Wen Zhi and deflate Song Juelan's arrogance.

The result was the opposite of what was intended, with frequent mistakes and a score even lower than the previous game.

He Jin and Ding Mingjun were both in good form this round and received decent scores. Among the five players, Sun Rongtao had the lowest score.

Ding Mingjun laughed silently at the score, finally venting his anger. He then asked into the microphone with concern, "Sun Rongtao, are you alright? Were you having a bad game?"

He Jin also crossed his legs in a good mood: "A powerful friend of mine has come online. Let him play. We'll play against you next time, so you don't drag Brother Song down."

After saying that, without waiting for Sun Rongtao to respond, he quickly kicked the flashy avatar out of the group.

After the annoying guy finally left, He Jin and Ding Mingjun burst into gloating laughter. They stopped laughing and randomly added someone from their friend lists.

They played another game with the same lineup as before, except that Sun Rongtao's position was replaced.

He Jin's casually invited friend was indeed quite skilled, and with Song Juelan carrying them, they won very easily.

In the next game, Wen Zhi chose a support hero that was easy to play, attached herself to Song Juelan, and then quietly opened a bag of potato chips.

From this perspective, Song Juelan's actions appear even more fluid and effortless, and his reaction speed and hand speed amaze him.

Even if he were ten years younger, he couldn't possibly pull off a move like that.

After a team fight, Wen Zhi went back to the fountain and took the opportunity to eat a few potato chips.

When he looked up again, he casually hooked himself onto the teammate who was closest to him.

Seeing his teammate secure a double kill, he habitually offered a compliment, but didn't hear a response from Song Juelan.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the teammate beside him was the friend He Jin had brought in, not Song Juelan.

Wen Zhi didn't pay much attention, and after controlling the hero to wander around nearby for a while, she returned to Song Juelan's side.

For some reason, Song Juelan's mood didn't seem as high as before. He stopped talking in the team voice chat and only occasionally tapped the signal.

Wen Zhi wiped her hands clean, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly, thinking that Song Juelan must be tired from fighting.

It seems I'll have to rely on myself for the upcoming qualifying rounds.

As the game was nearing its end, the door was suddenly pushed open a crack.

A small figure peeked in, with big, red eyes, clutching a large rabbit doll in her arms, looking at him pitifully.

"Zhizhi, sob... I dreamt of a giant spider, and it was going to eat me..."

Wen Zhi turned her head and saw that Xiao Tang was about to cry. Without thinking, she instinctively said, "Sweetie, wait for me a moment. I'll come and sleep with you later, okay?"

He forgot to turn off his microphone when he said that, and his soft voice reached the ears of every teammate.

The next second—

In the game, Song Juelan's character, who was wreaking havoc, suddenly froze in place, motionless.

The deep voice hesitated for a moment, as if going through a period of confusion and inner struggle, before finally responding softly.

"……good."
