Xiaoxuan sent a bunch of ellipsis.
"Xiaowu, stop kidding. If you knew such a great AD carry, you should have told me earlier. Why did you keep it a secret for so long? I remember the highest rank in your class was only Platinum."
Shu Yuewu remembered. He remembered Xia Xin telling the network administrator in the network management office, "That order that takes a million years to appear has been placed."
"Believe it or not, I just saw one today. It wasn't as impressive as this 5-kill, but it was a triple kill. A cool triple kill."
"He always seems to face these tough matches. The support steals his minions, and he's being chased by three geared players under the tower, yet he manages to kill three of them with low health. I only knew he was good, but I didn't expect him to kill five of them with low health."
"Are you serious?" Xiaoxuan said in disbelief.
"What do you think? I can also tell you that he's not in college. He's in his senior year of high school and has the college entrance exam in a month. But I heard the network administrator tell him not to go to college and to become a power player. It seems his family is in financial difficulty."
"I'm telling you, that network administrator is incredibly mean..."
Shu Yuewu hadn't finished typing when she heard her phone ring.
She pulled out her iPhone 6 and saw it was Xiaoxuan calling.
"What are you doing? Don't you have QQ? Why are you calling me? You're wasting your phone bill."
Xiao Xuan's anxious voice came from the phone. "Xiao Wu, you're kidding, right? Where is he? Tell him to come to my brother's Jiangnan University. League of Legends is becoming increasingly popular, and my brother has two special admissions spots for League of Legends students, with free tuition. You know they used to be a strong League of Legends school, but several of their regular players have graduated. The next class is probably going to be the worst in history, and the school is really anxious."
"By the way, give me his phone number and QQ. I'll tell him myself. He's all the rage on the League of Legends forums, with over 10,000 replies. My brother... They say several schools are looking for this AD right now for the college league, and we can't let anyone else get there first.
Shu Yuewu laughed. "Hehe, are you begging me?"
"I'm begging you. I'll call you sister, okay? Just tell me."
"No incentive?"
"You... okay, I'll give you that super cute little wallet you asked me for last time from Hong Kong. Just tell me, I'm so anxious."
"You're so generous, hehe. Although I really want that wallet, I... won't tell you. It'll drive you crazy, haha."
"You..."
After chatting with Zhu Xiaoxuan for a while longer, Shu Yuewu hung up the phone.
She lay back on her bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking for a long time. The corners of her pink lips curled up.
He chuckled playfully, "Hmph, you want to run? I just happen to have my eye on you. The more you keep others out of your world, the more I want to enter. That kind of conquest brings a greater sense of accomplishment."
Having figured it out, his mood brightened. He pulled up Xia Xin's QQ and sent him a private message...
...
"Wow, Ge Ge, the water's suddenly gone cold. There's no hot water."
Xia Xin, who was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, looked back and saw Xia Ye, who had just finished showering, running out of the bathroom with her hair wet and her petite body naked. She was hugging herself, her legs kicking wildly, and she was shivering from the cold.
"No way! There were some when I washed my hands just now. Let me see."
Xia Ye's face was filled with misery. "This must be a plot by the cold-blooded priestess next door. She thinks she can eliminate me, the Princess of the Night, with such a despicable trick. How naive!"
"I heard it all."
A sudden voice startled Xia Ye, who quickly ran behind Xia Xin and grabbed his clothes. She glanced around warily, as if afraid some demonic priestess had suddenly emerged from the ground.
In fact, the bathrooms on the left and right were connected. At the bathroom door, in the middle wall separating it from the kitchen, there was an exhaust duct running through the two rooms, connecting the water heaters on both sides. Because the square hole was large, anyone standing in the bathroom doorway and talking openly could be heard by those next door.
"Call me a cold-blooded priest again, and you'll be showering in cold water every day."
Xia Ye flinched at these words, but then she immediately reappeared, staring at the gap in the wall with discontent. "Hmph, a mere priest, yet you dare to go against the great vampire progenitor? If you want to deal with me, you'll have to defeat half of me first."
Xia Xin smiled wryly and asked, "What's wrong with the water heater?"
A response came from next door. "I don't know. They've called someone to fix it. Wait a minute."
"Oh."
Xia Xin patted Xia Ye's head. "Go get dressed, don't catch a cold. Go play on the computer."
"Great," Xia Ye's face lit up, then she asked, puzzled. "Don't you have to take orders?"
"No orders at the moment. I might have a few days off."
"Oh... then let's play together."
She sat down at the computer desk.
Xia Ye, wearing a warm yellow Pikachu one-piece, sat on Xia Xin's lap.
Xia Xin asked, "Do you want a mouse or a keyboard?"
Xia Ye chose the keyboard.
Playing two people together meant one person used the mouse and the other the keyboard.
This was a real test of skill, of course, for Xia Xin.
Xia Ye expertly entered Xia Xin's QQ account and password and logged into the Bronze 4 account named "爱夜夜夜夜夜夜" on Ionia.
"Hahaha, you foolish bronzes! Your noble Queen of Night is back! Kneel down and praise me!"
She completely forgot she was also a bronze player.
Only those who have played the game before know how difficult it is to play a hero together.
Xia Ye liked to play heroes like the cute Teemo, the little loli Annie, and the adorable Police Girl.
This time, Xia Ye played a Police Girl.
So, when Xia Xin was surrounded by four people, using the mouse to control the policewoman's coquettish movements, running away slutty and attacking as she went, an inexplicable eq skill combo sent Xia Xin, who was about to escape, falling back and falling into the four-man encirclement. The consequences are predictable: the cute policewoman was immediately killed by the ogres, falling at the feet of the four strong men behind her.
Or, Xia Xin, using her long arms to target the Barbarian King in agony, accidentally pressed e instead of d, and "kindly" flashed to the face, only to be beaten to a lesson by the Barbarian King with three slashes, sending him back to the hot springs.
All kinds of strange deaths appeared one after another.
The two of them were having a lot of fun, and Xia Ye's crisp, childish laughter could be heard from time to time in the bedroom.
Soon, Xia Xin's death count was far ahead of the rest of his teammates. Fortunately, one of the advantages of Bronze IV is that no one knows how to play, so just play around and have fun.
Xia Xin's positive attitude was cultivated this way. No matter what situation he faced, no matter how many times he died, he would accept it calmly and fight to the end.
Having a great time, Xia Ye suddenly heard his QQ ring. Entering a team fight, he abandoned his teammates, exited with Ctrl+Esc, and checked his QQ.
"It's your QQ."
"Of course it's mine. Aren't you logged into QQ?"
"Right? Otherwise, I'd get a lot of pop-ups."
Don't underestimate Xia Ye's popularity. He's popular with everyone from boys ten years old to grandpas and grandmas in their 50s and 60s.
Xia Ye recited the words word by word, "Tomorrow at noon, after lunch, come to the stone bench by the campus lake next to the basketball court. I have something to tell you. Shu Yuewu, who is she? A girl, my girlfriend?"
"Don't talk nonsense. She's a stunning beauty. How could she be my girlfriend?"
"A stunning beauty? How could she be prettier than that cold-blooded priest next door?"
"There's no girl prettier than Leng... than her in the entire school."
"How could she be prettier than me?"
"...There's no one prettier than our Princess Ye Ye in the entire world," Xia Xin said with a wry smile.
"Oh, it's an ugly freak. That puts my mind at ease."
"..."
Xia Xin was about to type a reply when Xia Ye expertly switched back to League of Legends, but the screen was now black and white. She waved her hand and said, "Ignore that ugly freak."
"You really are..."
Xia Ye reached out a hand, intending to place it on the keyboard, but paused mid-stretch.
Staring lifelessly at the computer, "Brother Ge, where's the keyboard?"
Xia Xin's heart ached as he glanced at Xia Ye's eyes. He picked her up and sat on the bed. "Are you acting up again? Wait a minute."
He took the eye drops and put them in a few times.
"How many times has this happened this month?"
"The... third time."
"Don't be ridiculous. It's been more than five times at home. I don't know how many times at school."
"No... no, not at... school. It's really, really strange. It only happens at home. Ha."
Xia Xin knew that Xia Ye stuttered whenever she lied, just to avoid making herself feel bad.
Xia Ye stretched out her hands, feeling them in front of her with a somewhat hesitant and helpless look. "Brother Ge, where are you? I want to hold your hand."
Xia Xin said nothing, holding Xia Ye tightly in his arms. This brought a look of relief to Xia Ye.
After Xia Ye's parents died in a car accident when she was young, she suffered from intermittent visual impairment syndrome, which caused her to go blind from time to time. It wasn't bad before, with only a few seconds or minutes of blindness a month. But as she grew older, the symptoms worsened, and the bouts of blindness became more frequent and lasted longer.
Sooner or later, she would become completely blind.
This disease can't be cured in China; she needs to go abroad. Furthermore, the doctor said a conservative estimate would be one million yuan.
Xia Xin had saved a little money, but it was barely enough to get by. He was still a long way from the one million yuan he needed to pay for treatment.
After all, at his age of 18, earning one million yuan was a bit of a pipe dream.
He could only follow the doctor's advice and try to keep Xia Ye optimistic and happy, hoping to improve her condition. If Xia Ye fell into a low mood or experienced excessive mood swings, the risk of illness would increase significantly.
After a long moment, feeling the steady sound of breathing in his arms, Xia Xin finally let go of Xia Ye. He gently laid her on the bed and covered her with the quilt. A happy smile still graced her small lips.
Xia Xin's heart suddenly tightened, the pain making it hard to breathe.
This couldn't go on any longer...
And in truth, someone else couldn't sleep tonight either.
Lu Ming tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. His mind kept replaying the scene of himself standing in the bushes with full health, being savaged and then beaten to death. The scene was like a nightmare, and the laughter of his classmates behind him could still echo in his ears.
It's not like he hadn't lost before, but never had he lost so miserably.
It was like he had no strength left, a punch pounding into the air. He had more last hits and better equipment than the other player, and he was confident that his mechanics were definitely better, yet he was beaten to death despite having an extra Infinity Edge and 3800 more HP.
He clearly heard several classmates talking behind his back when he got back.
"Damn Diamond 5! He must have gotten there through a power leveler."
"That's right. He can't even beat Bronze, and he's still pretending. He's probably only Silver, what's the point of showing off?"
"Oh, he screwed me. He always calls himself a master."
"..."
The thought of his classmates secretly criticizing him made him so angry he felt like exploding.
He couldn't swallow this...
