When Shen Que first appeared as a starting player, his face attracted countless eyes. He had delicate features and curly hair, making him look like an adorable boy next door. However, he was aloof and didn't like to talk. This contrast made him even more endearing to many people.
After the competition, Shen Que gained many followers on Weibo, and some even left radical love messages under his posts.
Yu Cong forced Shen Que to open a Weibo account, and he usually managed it. But because of this incident, Shen Que logged onto Weibo for the first time in his life.
At that time, Shen Que, who was still a newcomer to e-sports, ignored Yu Cong's advice and made an official announcement on Weibo.
"Don't say things like you want to marry me. I don't like it, and I don't want my sister to see it."
People were amazed by his recklessness and felt sorry for him abandoning his fans based on looks. But this is an industry where talent matters, and good looks are just icing on the cake. It doesn't matter if you don't have them. His courage to stand up and express his opinion made another group of indifferent passersby feel that he was responsible, and thus they became his fans.
The uproar on Weibo had nothing to do with him. At that time, Shen Que nervously made a video call to Ye Jiu to admit his mistake. Ye Jiu thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be nothing.
She casually brushed the matter aside, then asked Chen Que with great interest when his next match was and if he could help her get a ticket, as it would be a pity not to be able to watch him play live.
Shen Que nodded blankly, then overjoyed when he realized what it meant, "I'll save a ticket for my sister for every competition from now on!"
As longtime fans know, whenever Shen Que played, there was always a girl in the second row holding up his light stick and smiling as she cheered him on.
This live stream was Ye Jiu's first appearance in the public eye outside of watching the competition. The aloof little dog Shen Que answered all her questions, and the smile on his face never left his face; it was almost unbearable to watch.
After explaining his identity to the newcomer, the comments section fell silent again.
Just then, the two revived. Ye Jiu didn't have time to ask him any more questions. She controlled her character to follow Shen Que to join the team fight without stopping. With the buff given by the Storm Dragon King, they pushed up the high ground and won in one wave.
As the "victory" announcement rang out, Ye Jiu put down her phone, pinched Chen Que's cheek, and said, "Where did you secretly go for further studies? Are you out of your mind with all that talking?"
At first, pinching her cheeks was accusatory, but after feeling them, Ye Jiu found that Chen Que's cheeks were surprisingly easy to pinch, and she didn't want to let go.
"I've learned a little bit, as long as you don't dislike it, hehe." Shen Que pinched two fingers together to describe her little bit.
Ye Jiu didn't dislike him learning sweet talk or anything like that, she just hoped he wouldn't learn any dirty jokes. She let go of his hand and stroked his curly hair. "Alright, you guys have fun, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, she stood up and prepared to leave, but Shen Que grabbed Ye Jiu's sleeve and asked, "Why aren't you playing anymore? Are you unhappy?"
Shen Que thought that if the game had indeed upset her, he would take care of the entire group on the other side of the internet.
Ye Jiu pinched his cheek again, "No, it's just that I was afraid of bothering you. Besides, I have an article due tonight, and I haven't written it yet. I'm going to write it now."
Shen Que's restless tentacles instantly calmed down. "Then you go first, sister. I'll help you after my live stream."
Ye Jiu had no idea that her words had saved five people from death that night. She found a piece of clothing to cover the camera, lowered her head and kissed him on the cheek. "Okay, I'm leaving now. Be a good girl."
Shen Que looked up at Ye Jiu's retreating figure, touched the spot where he had been kissed, and thought that he could move that piece of skin inside his body so it wouldn't get dirty.
Just as he was about to make a move, he saw the working camera, angrily lowered his hand from his face, and flipped the camera away.
It's so troublesome to have to follow those rules in front of humans all the time.
[Why is the screen black for so long? Is there something my VIP membership can't watch?]
Shen Que sneered inwardly. If his sister hadn't taken the initiative to join in, these people wouldn't have even seen her back. He really wanted to gouge their eyes out.
?? ?
Without Ye Jiu, the game became less interesting, so Shen Que simply left the room and played by himself.
There are still two hours until the stream ends, which means he has at least four more games to play.
I'll see my sister in 7200 seconds.
Deliberation: ...annoying
——
Ye Jiu had already completed her graduation defense. Although graduation wasn't yet due, there was nothing left to do at school, so she didn't need to go; she could just wait to receive her diploma. She found a job at a small newspaper as practice.
Shen Que's salary was more than enough for her to live a carefree life. The meager earnings she made at work weren't even enough to buy Shen Que a piece of clothing. She did it purely to keep herself from being too idle. Otherwise, once he returned to the base, she would be bored to death with nothing to do every day.
Under the impact of e-reading, it is becoming increasingly difficult for print newspapers to operate. Large newspapers are still doing alright, as they have a solid foundation, but small newspapers are all feeling insecure and are just trying to find their own way out.
The owner of Zhiyuan Newspaper, where Ye Jiu works, is a rich second-generation. His family's only requirement for him is not to squander the family fortune. Their family has hundreds of millions in assets, which is far beyond what a small newspaper can afford. So he can squander as much as he wants. Even though he loses money every month, he never delays paying salaries and has even hired Ye Jiu as a new employee.
The newspaper office wasn't crowded; including the boss and Ye Jiu, there were only nine people. The work was light and easy, with no backstabbing, and the pay was fast—everyone called it a dream job! Except for the low pay…
Ye Jiu hasn't officially started working yet, so the manuscripts given to her are naturally unimportant. As she typed, she thought that she would go through the onboarding process once Shen Que returned to the base.
He trains, she goes to work, and everyone has a bright future.
Two hours, six games, and Shen Que finally reached the required time. The live stream had just shown a duration of 3 hours and 1 minute, and before he had even finished the game he was playing, he couldn't wait to turn off the live stream.
