The pretty girl who plays with people's feelings is going to be severely punished.

Playing with Ao Chen is very enjoyable. As long as there are no obviously bad teammates, Ao Chen can carry the team to victory.

Yu Lian, hanging on his head with nothing to do, peeled a few lychees and stuffed them into her mouth, chatting with him in a mumbled manner.

The opposing team's development laner was playing Sun Shangxiang, a late-game hero, and the support player didn't follow him out of spite. Ao Chen ganked him a few times and rendered him useless.

After catching and killing Sun Shangxiang, who was secretly leveling up her character, once again, Yu Lian's phone started buzzing.

"Complete Account Small Country Development Path: [Inviting you to a voice call...]"

Yu Lian paused for a moment, then quietly turned off the team microphone and pressed the answer button.

In truth, Yu Lian hated these sudden phone calls. When a man called a woman when they weren't very familiar with each other, she couldn't think of anything other than lust. Several times, Yu Lian had taken pity on him and answered, only to hear him start panting incoherently after a few words.

Yu Lian, who always felt that her good intentions were never rewarded, began to deeply resent this kind of behavior.

But the situation is different now. Yu Lian was very curious about his voice when they played those three games before, and now she is finally able to show her pride.

When the call connected, Yu Lian's breathing became lighter as she waited for him to speak. A little nervous, she thought she'd hang up and block him immediately if his voice sounded unpleasant. In the game, she was distracted, randomly casting skills while perched on Ao Chen's head, constantly toggling the battle stats panel, making ten fake moves per second.

There was silence on the other end of the phone. Yu Lian subconsciously pulled down the notification bar to check if the call had actually been connected.

In that moment when she was off guard, the man's voice came out.

It seemed like I was very close to the microphone; I could hear the breath I was taking when I spoke.

"Are you with Jing?"

"He seems to dislike me; he keeps grabbing me."

His voice was clean and crisp, like a sip of lime water with ice on a hot summer day—the pure voice only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Chu Nan high school student could possess. His enunciation was clear, without any affected or muddy endings.

He spoke with feigned grievance, but his tone wasn't pitiful; he pretended to be indifferent. He seemed a little reserved and shy, probably because he wasn't comfortable talking to strangers on the phone.

It's like when you're so sleepy during a break in high school that you're lying on your desk trying to sleep, but he thinks you're unhappy and comes over to comfort you.

Yu Lian's youthful sonic radar beeped in her mind.

"No, he just likes to gank the bottom lane, it's not targeting you."

  Updates take time and effort, so please remember to share 101kanshu.com.

Yu Lian spoke with a guilty conscience, after all, she was the one who initially asked Ao Chen to capture him. However, Ao Chen probably came more often because he saw that it was easier to capture him without any assistance.

She had just eaten lychees, and her voice was sweet and moist. Although she was clearly nineteen years old, she sounded much younger than her actual age.

"...Oh, I see." He paused for a moment before replying, a strange smile playing on his lips; even without seeing his face, you could feel the corners of his mouth turning up. "So...will you play with me later?"

He spoke hesitantly about a simple duo queue invitation, making it sound like he was confessing his love.

Perhaps it was because of her preconceived notions from his voice, but now Yu Lian thinks everything he says and does is innocent and different from the sluts outside.

As if afraid that Yu Lian would refuse, he added in a low voice, "I... I'm not that bad, it's just that I always end up fighting two opponents at once, and it's too painful to lane against them."

Actually, Yu Lian didn't need to say that to know his skill level wasn't like this; his current negative record was purely due to Ao Chen's actions.

Ao Chen is a jungler who can reach a peak of 2,500 or 2,600 gold per season. It would be easy for him to bring Yao to gank a marksman who is being neglected by his teammates.

Yu Lian couldn't help but laugh, and feigning difficulty, teased him, "I'm playing along, but what about my friends?"

"...We can go together." He would pause for a second or two before speaking, as if he were thinking or simply shy. The sensible little boy spoke obediently, "You can always stay with him, as long as... help me out more often..."

"They're ignoring me this round."

Yu Lian: ...

She's definitely being coquettish, isn't she? I'm a woman, for goodness' sake, and she's so unguarded around me! ^^

Perhaps because Yu Lian had been silent for too long and had not received a response to many of her questions, Ao Chen kept asking into the receiver.

"Feed?"

"What are you doing?"

"Why did you suddenly stop talking?"

Listening to Ao Chen's hoarse voice during puberty alongside someone with a pleasant voice is a disaster. The opposing crystal exploded, the victory results page loaded, and Yao was roaming around with a bright red gold medal above her head.

Yu Lian clicked her tongue, muted her WeChat microphone, and then turned on her game microphone. Her tone was unnaturally unpleasant, and she said gruffly, "So noisy!"

"I must have something to say if I mute myself!"

"What could you possibly have to do? All you do all day is eat and sleep, like a pig." Ao Chen grinned even after being scolded. "Did you hear me just now? I said I want to get my ears pierced this weekend."

"You think getting your ears pierced is like modeling? Are you scrolling through Douyin and seeing other people looking cool with earrings, and then you think you're so great? If you got your ears pierced, I'd probably look like a pig's head hanging on a hook at a butcher's stall." Yu Lian said mercilessly.

Since he's known her for so long but has never revealed what she looks like, Yu Lian can slander her however she wants.



Yu Lian and Ao Chen met during the 2300 peak tournament. At that time, Yu Lian was aiming to manually play Yao in the national standard, and seeing that the first player had chosen Gongsun Li, she secretly locked Yao in with a sneaky look.

The fourth and fifth floors simultaneously typed question marks, and the high-ranking players instantly locked in Yao without consulting their teammates, which was a bit mind-bending. Yao is a popular hero in ranked matches, but quite weak in high-ranking matches, requiring a lot of strategic thinking and awareness.

Why doesn't it require skillful operation? Because Yao doesn't need any skillful operation.

Amidst the chorus of complaints within the team, only the jungler Ma Chao on the third floor gave Yu Lian positive feedback, posting a cool and sassy comment.

[Peak Summoner 3: It's okay, just play normally.]

[Peak Summoner 3: Follow me.]

Seeing that there was someone willing to take the fall, none of her teammates spoke up. Yu Lian's gaze fell on Ma Chao's divine might avatar, and her girlish heart fluttered.

Ma Chao was Ao Chen. That game, he and Yao killed their way through the enemy lines and won by a huge margin. After the game, while Yu Lian was still agonizing over his 100-rank jungler on his profile page, he sent her a friend request.

Yu Lian even wanted to request the song "True Love Arrives".

However, according to Ao Chen, he was upset when he dropped from 2,500 to 2,300 gold, but seeing Yao made him feel relieved. He thought that at least he would have one less pig to feed the enemy economy.

As for the friend request, he accidentally bumped into it while checking his stats page.

The two met by chance. Ao Chen was a very honest kid who didn't have the "online heartthrob" syndrome. He played games just for the sake of playing games; he was purely addicted to the internet.

At that time, he had already dropped out of school and hadn't joined the playmate group yet. He had plenty of time every day, and he would come to play whenever Yu Lian invited him.

He doesn't have the airs of a top 100 jungler at all.

Later on, as the two became closer, Yu Lian's aloof, wild young master filter for him shattered, and their intimacy level while playing together changed to the two little bunny-eared best friend label.

Yu Lian isn't the type to enjoy close relationships with men; her intimacy page is full of girls, and Ao Chen is the first guy on it.

However, Yu Lian didn't treat him as a man.



"How am I a pig's head? I don't have that kind of youthful voice." Ao Chen knew he wouldn't get any nice things from Yu Lian before he even asked her, so he didn't defend his appearance. He urged her impatiently, "Alright, alright, hurry up and get ready."

Yu Lian pouted: "That Sun Shangxiang from last game wants to play with us. Do you want to play in a three-player squad? Go ahead, having a marksman makes it easier to win."

She asked the question without any qualms, truly considering Ao Chen her best friend. If it were any other brother, she wouldn't have asked that question; she would have secretly compared them in her mind and then gone offline to enjoy herself with the one she liked more.

Ao Chen seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and his response became slower, his tone less lively than when he was arguing with her: "Go ahead and fight, just pull me in."

He had barely uttered the word "play" when Yu Lian sent an invitation. After Sun Shangxiang joined the team, she heard Ao Chen follow up with, "...If you want to play, just play. Why did you specifically ask me why?"

The game started matchmaking, but the WeChat call was still going on. Yu Lian wanted to tell Sun Shangxiang to use team voice chat, but as soon as he switched screens, a message popped up. Even though the call was still on, he wanted to type.

"Complete Account Small Country Development Path: Should we use the team microphone?"

"Complete Product Number: Xiaoguo Development Road: Can you keep calling me?"

She also sent a pitiful emoji.

Yu Lian frowned, knowing what it meant, but felt that isolating Ao Chen was not a good idea.

There is a risk of being discovered by Ao Chen.

Pretending not to understand his meaning, she typed a question mark. The atmosphere became tense after Sun Shangxiang joined the team, and even the usually talkative Ao Chen fell silent. Yu Lian locked Yao, then guiltily switched screens to check again.

Xiao Lian's inner monologue: ?

"The Development Path of a Small Country: Shy and Afraid of Strangers"

"Finished Product Account: Small Country's Development Path - I just want to talk to you quq"

He used the emoticon that Yu Lian had sent him, which was also one of Yu Lian's favorites.

The methods used were quite unusual.

Yu Lian thought to herself, but she was still shamefully pleased. She quietly turned off the team microphone and typed to Ao Chen with a guilty conscience.

[Team] A mixture of pity and hate: I'm muting my mic now.

[Team] A mixture of pity and hate: [Sent a little heart to the player "I'll do it even if you don't tell me"]
