Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

After changing into her pajamas, Lin Muxi walked to the window and gently drew the heavy curtains, instantly dimming the light in the room, leaving only the soft light from the bedside lamp.

At this moment, Chen Chen was in the crucial team fight phase of the game.

His teammates made a mistake in coordination, and the enemy seized the opportunity to focus fire, instantly turning the situation into a critical one.

Chen Chen frowned, his eyes fixed on the screen, his fingers swiping rapidly across the phone as he calmly directed his teammates to retreat while simultaneously searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

After drying her hair, Lin Muxi tiptoed back to the bedside.

She bent down slightly, climbed onto the bed gently, and lay down on her side, as quiet as a docile cat.

She looked at Chen Chen quietly, her eyes full of tenderness and focus.

She didn't make a sound to disturb him, but quietly admired Chen Chen's focused expression as he worked.

At this moment, he was completely focused, exuding a unique charm that filled Lin Muxi's heart with peace and warmth. It was as if time had stood still, leaving only the captivating figure before her.

Finally, on that fierce battlefield, Chen Chen keenly caught a slight positioning mistake by the enemy jungler.

His eyes flashed, and without the slightest hesitation, he decisively issued the order, leading his teammates to launch a swift attack like tigers descending a mountain.

This counterattack was clean and decisive, successfully turning the tables and securing the victory in this round.

Chen Chen finally relaxed, letting out a long sigh of relief and a relieved smile spreading across his face.

Only then did he slowly turn his head and look at Lin Muxi beside him.

Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still, as if a thousand words were being conveyed in that silent gaze.

Then they looked at each other and smiled, a smile full of understanding and warmth.

Lin Muxi picked up her phone with a smile, tilting her head slightly to one side, looking playful and cute. Her voice was soft and sweet as she spoke in a coquettish tone:

"Brother, please take me under your wing~"

The word "brother" startled Chen Chen slightly, as Lin Muxi rarely addressed him that way in his memory.

Thinking back carefully, unless it was in certain specific situations where he half-jokingly forced her to say it, she would blush and utter those two words.

But now, she actually called out on her own initiative. Chen Chen felt an unprecedented sense of joy and comfort welling up in his heart, as if every pore on his body had opened up.

"Little sister, I'd like to invite you."

Chen Chen's lips curled up, unable to hide his smile. As he spoke, he reached out and quickly tapped the team invitation interface on his phone screen, sending a team request to Lin Muxi.

Upon seeing this, Lin Muxi's face blossomed into a sweet smile, like a flower blooming in spring, and she softly said:

"Thank you, brother~"

Immediately afterwards, she tapped her finger to accept the invitation.

Actually, this wasn't the first time the two had played together in a duo queue.

They had played together several times before.

At first, Lin Muxi knew almost nothing about games, as clueless as a lost little deer.

But after these few trials, she improved rapidly, and later she could even cooperate tacitly with Chen Chen, hiding in the bushes together to "ambush" people unexpectedly.

After entering the game, the two selected their heroes, and as soon as the loading screen finished, they plunged into the intense battle.

Chen Chen skillfully maneuvered his character between minion waves to last-hit minions, while constantly keeping an eye on the enemy heroes' movements on the minimap.

Lin Muxi followed closely beside Chen Chen, her eyes fixed intently on the screen.

"Sister, you clear out the soldiers from the back first, but be careful not to get too far forward. Wait for my signal."

Chen Chen spoke softly as he operated the machine.

Lin Muxi nodded obediently, and although she knew Chen Chen couldn't see, she still responded:

"Okay, brother."

Soon, the two sides clashed in the river. The enemy team grouped up and pushed forward, attempting to pressure the mid-lane turret. Chen Chen's eyes sharpened, and he calmly said:
"Don't act rashly, let's wait for our opportunity in the bushes."

Lin Muxi quickly controlled her character to hide in the bushes, holding her breath, waiting with a mixture of tension and excitement.

The enemy seemed to have sensed the danger and lingered near the river.

Chen Chen keenly observed the enemy heroes' positions and suddenly his eyes lit up when he noticed that the enemy marksman was moving too aggressively.

"It's now!"

Chen Chen shouted and took the lead, landing a set of skills precisely on the enemy marksman.

Without hesitation, Lin Muxi followed closely behind, unleashing her control skill and working with Chen Chen to instantly kill the enemy marksman.

"Good job!"

Chen Chen couldn't help but praise her. Lin Muxi's face beamed with joy as she happily said, "Brother, you've done a great job!"

With this successful collaboration, both sides were greatly encouraged.

In the ensuing battles, they developed an increasingly strong rapport.

As the game progresses, the situation gradually becomes clear.

Chen Chen and Lin Muxi led their teammates to develop steadily and continuously expand their advantage.

Ultimately, they successfully destroyed the enemy's crystal and won the game.

Wow! We won!

Lin Muxi waved her arms excitedly, like a child who had received candy.

Seeing her happy expression, Chen Chen felt a surge of joy in his heart.

"Brother, do you want to play again?" Lin Muxi tilted her head, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and asked Chen Chen.

"Okay, I'll play with you until you don't want to play anymore."

Just as Chen Chen was about to click to start a new game, a message suddenly popped up on his phone screen asking for an invitation.

Lin Muxi curiously leaned over for a look, frowned slightly, and murmured:
"This name seems familiar."

Chen Chen followed Lin Muxi's gaze and turned his eyes to the phone screen.

On the screen, the slightly strange ID—"Mad Dog 2.0"—came into his view.

Upon seeing the name, he paused slightly, a look of surprise appearing on his face. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly spoke:

"Isn't that the enemy jungler from the last game?"

Lin Muxi blinked her bright eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in them, and said hesitantly:
"The enemy jungler from the last game? Why is he targeting us? Is he here for 'revenge'?"

Chen Chen shrugged slightly, a helpless smile playing on his lips, and drawled out his words:

"Probably, maybe, possibly...yes."

Recalling the previous game, he played Lanling King and cooperated well with Lin Muxi, who controlled Yao, and they ambushed the enemy jungler in the bushes for the entire game.

In that match, they completely overwhelmed the opposing jungler, launching various unexpected attacks that kept him constantly on the run, likely driving him to a mental breakdown.

"So...should we accept his invitation?"

Lin Muxi tilted her head and looked at Chen Chen, her eyes showing a mixture of worry and curiosity.

Chen Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile:

"Let's accept it. Let's see just how capable this 'Mad Dog 2.0' really is and what other tricks he can pull."

With that, he reached out and clicked to accept the invitation. (End of Chapter)
