Chapter 48: Long Qi and Er Yi Tea Girl cause trouble, Lin Xingmian confesses her feelings...
The battle begins.
As soon as Yao went out, she followed Marco closely. Xu Zhiyu went to the confrontation lane. Now she can look at the minimap and zoom in. She couldn't help but see Yao and Marco's avatars next to each other on the minimap. They were walking on the development lane but not walking properly. They kept clicking recall, and their avatars were flashing.
She pulled Aqing into her field of vision and discovered that they were sending each other messages and emojis as they walked.
The joy of the game vanished, and a pang of sadness welled up inside me.
She was facing off against Li Xin. Because she hadn't practiced much, her skills weren't very refined yet, but with the guidance of her mentor, Pancake Master, her game sense was excellent.
Pancake: [Sister, clear out the minions first, hold them off for a bit, don't fight him, wait for me to come.]
In order to help his sister catch the monster first, Xingmian started farming from the red zone.
Ah Yu scrolled through the quick chat and clicked "Received!".
The two players in the bottom lane, however, kept talking back and forth.
Chen Siqing: [Mengmeng, don't stand so far forward, watch out, the other side might be hiding in the bushes!]
Chen Siqing: [You're not feeling well, that's okay, Mengmeng, have a health booster!]
Chen Siqing: [Mengmeng, you're so cute haha...]
Mengmeng: [I feel so safe with Brother Siqing!]
Mengmeng: [Oh no, they're coming down from mid lane! There are so many people, brother, I'm scared...]
Chen Siqing: [Stand behind me!]
...
The way they're playing this game, if you didn't know better, you'd think the two in the bottom lane were a couple.
Ayu was extremely upset because Aqing was never like this when they played games together. He always criticized and mocked her. She, who never liked to argue with him, felt like she had eaten shit whenever she played games with Aqing recently.
She remained silent throughout, and seemed distracted while playing the game.
Lin Xingmian had noticed her sister's unusual behavior from the very beginning when her sister sent "received". Normally, she was the most talkative, her little mouth never stopping, but at the start of this game, she hardly said a word.
He didn't know if Shen Siqing had gotten his brain stuck in a door or what, but he suppressed his anger and vented it by killing the enemy!
"First blood!"
The first blood was in the top lane. After clearing the jungle, he went straight to the bush next to the top lane and waited for Chang'e to lure Li Xin out!
The operation was clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation!
After remaining silent for a while, Ayu finally came to her senses. Her voice was somewhat strained: "[It's your first time again. I knew it. You're really something.]"
Xingmian said indulgently, "[You're amazing. You learned so quickly after just one lesson. If you hadn't lured him out, how would I have killed him?]"
Her pent-up emotions were on the verge of breaking down, and she suddenly said in a thick, nasal voice, "Ah Song..."
They've been constantly backing down and constantly yielding.
Xingmian: [I'm here.]
Ah Yu: [Hmm.]
He knew she was upset, so he tried to cheer her up: "How many kills do you want to see? I'll show you later, we'll get a seven-kill streak right away!"
Ayu: [Ha, what? There are only five people in total and you're so capable, how did you manage to get Seven Kills?]
Xingmian: [Kill those two in the bottom lane too, so they won't not take the game seriously, especially that guy. Sister, you really picked a bad boyfriend. If he's really no good, why don't you dump him and I'll introduce you to someone else.]
Ah Yu: [Hahahaha...]
Jingjing: [Pfft.] Don't be surprised, she was also hoping that Boss Xu would break up with Shen Siqing.
Chen Siqing: [...]
While operating the device, Chen Siqing overheard... This guy actually let Xiaoyu dump him right in front of him?!
He was initially stunned and didn't react immediately, but after he did, he blurted out: "Are you out of your mind? What are you trying to do, sow discord?"
Ayu: [Why are you yelling at him? Isn't Asong right? I didn't even realize you were my boyfriend. You and Mengmeng are so close, why aren't you two together?]
Marco, who was deep in thought while playing, was just killed by the opposing team. He couldn't hold back his emotions and angrily retorted: "Xu Zhiyu, what are you saying? She's my sister! I only said a few words to her, and you're being so petty and sarcastic towards me? Everyone playing this game knows I'm your boyfriend! How many times do you need to explain to you that she's just my sister, just my sister!! !"
Lin Xingmian: [Why are you being so fierce? You're a complete waste. You can't even win games, and you don't even take care of your girlfriend.]
Ah Qing's words hurt her, but fortunately Ah Song spoke up for her.
But the more you care about someone, the harder it is to accept the hurtful words they say. He yelled at her in front of so many people, and the emotions she had been holding back for so long suddenly exploded. She stopped talking, turned off her microphone, and burst into tears of grievance.
How could Ah Qing do this?
He was so perfect and wonderful, yet he was afraid that she might be even the slightest bit unhappy.
Is it all because of the game?
He becomes a completely different person when he plays games, becoming someone she finds utterly unfamiliar.
She used to think he cared about winning or losing, so she studied the game diligently. But now, when others help him, he is so gentle, a completely different attitude from how he treats her!
How is she supposed to face or accept this?
She was angry.
Xu Zhiyu wiped away her tears, now only wanting to focus on finishing the game as quickly as possible.
After she muted her microphone, the atmosphere became awkward. Lin Xingmian and Shen Siqing had nothing to say to each other, except for Mengmeng. In fact, Mengmeng was not some distant sister, but Shen Siqing's real ambiguous object.
They often played games together. She knew he had a girlfriend, but she didn't pay any attention to her because they were regular gamers and their intimacy level was already in the tens of thousands.
Not only that, since they met in the same city, they had even met in person. They found each other attractive and quickly slept together. She wanted to be his girlfriend, but Shen Siqing was unwilling. He only wanted to maintain this bed partner relationship with her. This was fine, this was acceptable, she didn't mind.
However, when she learned that he had a new girlfriend and was willing to make their relationship public, she couldn't swallow her anger. She called him, went to his house to find him, and even followed him! She already knew that his girlfriend owned a supermarket, and Mengmeng had even pretended to be an ordinary customer to buy things at Xu Zhiyu's supermarket!
After Shen Siqing discovered this, he got angry at her, saying that if she did such a thing again, they should stop being bed partners. He also explained to her that there was a reason for being with Xiaoyu, and that she must never tell Xu Zhiyu about their bed partner relationship!
If she can do that, then Shen Siqing will agree to play games with her whenever she wants, and to be with her after breaking up with Xu Zhiyu.
Although Ji Yumeng didn't take Xu Zhiyu seriously, being in the same room as her rival still made her extremely jealous, especially when Xu Zhiyu said, "I am Shen Siqing's girlfriend." She was so jealous that she was almost going crazy because her brother had never given her any legitimate status!
Just as Chen Siqing was about to lose his temper with A Yu, Ji Yumeng was gloating.
She saw that Xu Zhiyu had turned off her mic, clearly angry, but she still felt it wasn't enough, so she added fuel to the fire: "Brother Siqing, did I make Sister angry?"
Shen Siqing's mind was in turmoil: [This is none of your business, don't overthink it.]
Ha. Ah Yu, watching from the screen, scoffed at such words of comfort.
Actually, she had long wanted to stop playing, but she couldn't swallow her pride. She couldn't believe she could win a gold medal, and she couldn't believe she had improved. It was clearly her boyfriend, yet he mocked her so cruelly.
She was heartbroken, recalling the gentleness of the white T-shirt when they first met. The huge contrast and sense of separation almost tore her apart!
Whether it was telepathy or she cared too much, Xingmian seemed to be able to empathize with her sister, who must be heartbroken on the other side of the screen!
She liked men with the surname Shen so much that he couldn't even imagine if his sister was currently in her room shedding pearls.
He couldn't bear it: "Sister, if you don't want to play anymore, you can just quit the game. It's okay."
Ah Yu heard this and transcribed it into text: "[It's okay, you can play. Didn't you say that even though it's just a game, once you start, you should take it seriously and not give up halfway through?]"
Xingmian felt even more sorry for him: "It's okay. Although the rest of my teammates are trying their best to win, if you don't want to play this round, you can just quit. I'm here, aren't I? I won't let you lose. I'll play your position for you."
Chen Siqing: [Hmph, I think you should just get together with this jungler!]
Lin Xingmian: [I couldn't ask for more.]
Shen Siqing: [Damn it, Xu Zhiyu, listen to this! You still dare to hide it from me?? Haha, you still say that playing games with him every day isn't flirting?? I'm going to the store to find you tomorrow, you have to give me an explanation! I'm going to find this man and see who he is!]
The information conveyed in those few words was quite overwhelming, and she couldn't quite process it all at once.
Xu Zhiyu hadn't played as long as the others, so she couldn't concentrate during team fights. Just as they were arguing, a team fight broke out. To prove herself, she focused on maneuvering against the enemy and ultimately secured a resounding triple kill in the team fight!
Only after the team battle ended did she reflect on what they had just said.
Her first reaction was speechless at Shen Siqing, but also fearless. She transcribed her voice message: "Say what you will, no means no."
My second thought was about what Pancake had said earlier.
"Great! I couldn't be happier."
What... does this mean?
Could it be... Ah Song...?
Although Sister got a triple kill in that team fight, the overall situation is now at a disadvantage. Lin Xingmian didn't want to waste any more words with Shen Siqing, so he also muted his microphone. After all, Sister Xu Nuo wouldn't let her lose, so he had to play seriously now. No matter what, he couldn't lose this game!
Jingjing didn't want to listen to them arguing about this relationship anymore, because she knew the whole inside story better than anyone else. In addition, she was already exhausted by the things in real life, and playing games was the only time she could escape. But now she had to face these things even in the game!
She muted her microphone and typed helplessly: "It's a losing game now, just focus on playing the game."
