Live Stream: Overly Pampered Education Creates Three Superstars in One Family

It was already dark when Chen Chu got home. He tossed the keys onto the shoe cabinet, then collapsed onto the sofa as if all the bones in his body had been removed.

After a long day of digging bamboo shoots, washing vegetables, cooking, and dealing with the director's difficult questions, his aching back was already protesting.

Chen Ziran seemed to be in good spirits. He carefully placed the tranquility pouch on the desk, then changed into a set of loose-fitting clothes and came out: "Dad, wanna play?"

Chen Chu sat up from the sofa: "Come on. Let's not play League of Legends today, let's play Honor of Kings."

The two of them took out their phones, opened Honor of Kings, teamed up, and entered the matchmaking queue.

Chen Ziran chose a jungler hero, and Chen Chu chose a mid-lane mage.

At the start of the game, both players were doing quite well, each clearing two waves of minions. However, after clearing the second wave, Chen Chu discovered that half of his mid-lane minion wave had been eaten.

He glanced at the minimap and saw Chen Ziran's jungler standing next to him, with the minions he had just finished farming at his feet.

Chen Chu was taken aback: "Wait... why did you eat my thread?"

Chen Ziran didn't even look up, her tone self-righteous: "Dad, you're going to roam around, aren't you? I helped you clear the lanes, and instead of being grateful, you're cursing me?"

"Thank you my ass!" Chen Chu's voice rose. "I'm a mid laner, I need to farm! You've eaten my minions, how am I supposed to fight?"

"Dad, you don't understand."

Chen Ziran controlled his hero to walk into the jungle, his tone carrying the calmness of someone who had been there before, "That's how you play Honor of Kings. The mid laner just needs to be a support, I'll farm the lane, you provide crowd control, and we're invincible when we coordinate."

Chen Chu looked at his empty minion wave and then glanced at Chen Ziran's economy, which was already far ahead of his.

He took a deep breath: "Don't talk nonsense! How can a mid-laner be a support role? Do you think you know more about farming than your father?"

Chen Ziran proudly waved his phone: "Dad, you're out of touch. This is the new version; you can't apply the same strategies you use for League of Legends to Honor of Kings."

As he spoke, he casually cleared a wave of minions that had just reached the mid lane.

"Besides, isn't it perfectly normal for junglers to take the mid laner's lane? Why are you being so stingy? I didn't say anything when you took my jungle monsters."

Chen Chu was so distressed that he couldn't speak.

He decided to stop arguing with Chen Ziran and headed straight for the jungle. If you take my lane, I'll take your jungle monsters.

He found a jungler who was taking the blue buff and started attacking.

Just as the blue buff's health was about to drop to zero, a skill suddenly flew over from the side and precisely took down the buff.

Chen Ziran's jungler hero stood next to him, and a quick message appeared above his head: "Thank you."

Chen Chu's finger hovered above the phone screen, and he froze.

Chen Ziran had already moved his hero to support the bottom lane, muttering, "Dad, let's roam. That's how the game is played; that's game understanding."

Chen Chu held his phone, looking down at his empty mid lane and empty jungle. He remained silent for a moment, his face bearing the expression of pain.

The comments section was filled with laughter.

[Hahaha, Chen Chu finally got what he deserved! He got a lesson from his son!]

[Ziran: That's called game understanding. Do you even know what game understanding is?]

One second I'm lecturing my son, the next I'm getting brutally beaten up by him in a game. This is karma!

But soon, the topic in the comments shifted. Someone brought up the matter of Xu Danian's family.

After finishing a game, Chen Chu put down his phone to drink some water and glanced at the live chat. He saw the constantly scrolling content.

"Chen Chu, do you know? Xu Zi'ang has run away from home."

"His dad accused him of lying, and they started arguing."

"He slammed the door and left; nobody knows where he went in the middle of the night."

Chen Chu put down his water glass and carefully read through the comments, one by one.

His expression changed from relaxed to increasingly serious.

He leaned back on the sofa and remained silent for a while: "Isn't this bullying? Adults bullying children."

Some viewers in the live chat started to argue with him: "But Xu Danian did provide him with food, clothing, and education. What's wrong with saying a few words to him? Shouldn't he have said something?"

Chen Chu looked at the comment and shook his head: "Of course, you can say a few words. But the method has to be right. I don't advocate spoiling children, but isn't this kind of behavior, which doesn't treat children like human beings, going too far?"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Besides, you said you provide for his food and clothing, isn't that what you should do? Since you feel that raising a child is a burden, that raising him makes your life worse, then why did you have him in the first place?"

Someone in the live chat seized the opportunity: "Ziran, did you hear that? Your dad said it's only natural for a son to live off his father!"

Chen Ziran immediately looked up, his eyes lighting up: "Dad, are you telling the truth?"

Chen Chu's face darkened: "One thing at a time. Is playing games the same as raising a child? You better focus on farming and don't even think about taking my lane."

Chen Ziran pursed his lips and continued playing on his phone, but a barely suppressed smile played on his lips.

On the other side of the city, the streets were empty and quiet in the early morning.

In the internet cafe, Xu Ziang sat at a computer in the corner. On the screen, he had just finished a game of APEX and was ranked third.

He didn't start the next game immediately, but leaned back in his chair and stared blankly at the results screen.

The headphones hung around his neck, surrounded by the sounds of keyboards and the occasional curse. The noise-canceling earmuffs blocked out most of the noise, but they couldn't block out the phrase that kept echoing in his head...

"I'll just pretend I never raised this son."

Staff member Xiao Li found his seat, stood next to him, and pulled up a chair to sit down.

He waited a while, until Xu Ziang took off his headphones and took a sip of water, before speaking: "Ziang, let's go back."

Xu Ziang was a little surprised, but not surprised either. He paused for a moment, then screwed the cap on, his voice muffled: "I'm not going back. I'm just an extra person in that house anyway."

He put the water bottle back on the table, put his headphones back on, opened the matchmaking queue, and kept his eyes glued to the screen.

Xiao Li sat next to him, looking at his stubborn profile, and remained silent for a moment.

"Your dad was just a little harsh with his words, but he still cares about you."

Xu Ziang paused for a moment while holding the mouse.

He didn't turn his head, but just looked at the matching interface loading on the screen, and said in a very soft voice, "Really? I don't see it."

The game match was successful, and he entered the character selection screen.

He didn't say anything more, selected his best hero, locked on, and then focused all his attention on the screen.

Xiao Li sat next to him, looking at his silent profile, and finally didn't say anything more. She just got up and went to the bar to buy a cup of hot milk and put it on his table.

Then he went outside the internet cafe and dialed the director's number: "He refuses to go back. He's not making a fuss, he just won't leave."

The director remained silent for a long time on the other end, then let out a heavy sigh: "Then don't pressure him. You stay there and watch over him, make sure nothing happens to him. I'll think of something."

Half an hour later, the director appeared at the internet cafe.
