Chapter 6: When Reality and Dreams Are Enemies
Unlike the weather, the recent transfer frenzy in the esports circle continues to heat up. The news is exceptionally hot. Insiders have revealed that VPG, one of China's three major clubs, has recently had close ties with Ji Xiangkong. Overnight, the rumors surrounding Ji Xiangkong and VPG's female CEO, Shu Wenna, have resurfaced, akin to a "monthly post". Enthusiastic onlookers have ramped up their efforts, thoroughly dissecting the clothing, accessories, snippets from interviews, and obscure interactions on Weibo between the two, capturing screenshots in detail. The rumors surrounding Ji Xiangkong and VPG's female CEO, Shu Wenna, have resurfaced, akin to a "monthly post". Enthusiastic onlookers have ramped up their efforts, thoroughly dissecting the clothing, accessories, snippets from interviews, and obscure interactions on Weibo between the two, capturing screenshots in detail.
However, Pei Xi is different from Ji Xiangkong. As a top-tier mid-laner in the world, he possesses overwhelming personal strength. Even if he loses a match, his terrifying statistics speak for themselves, and no one would blame him. Coupled with his aloofness and pride, he carries an aura of "females keep your distance" as a stoic male deity. It is truly hard to imagine what kind of divine being could tame him
The hands at my side are tightly clenched into fists. There will always come a day like this
Of course. Ji Xiangkong smiled at her, his gaze intense as he said, "Playing basketball with classmates on the school playground after class is called playing a game. But electronic sports? That is the NBA. That is the Olympics."
Until the screen went completely dark, Qiu Ying still held her phone, motionless
Ji Xiangkong calmly withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Don't be so nervous. I'm here."
Qiu Ying is gnawing on an apple. Upon seeing the words "door matching door" and "powerful faction," she nearly choked to death
She couldn't help but exclaim, "It really sounds so difficult!"
Spare me! Pei Mian Tan is clearly a repressed and pretentious person. Finding a girlfriend is just getting a social media influencer with a plastic face!
Qiu Ying's hands trembled. Her heart was about to leap out of her chest. She took a deep breath. Facing the camera, she displayed her signature fake smile. She concluded her remarks and ended the live broadcast.
He tapped the tabletop with his finger and said: "Your teammate has arrived... now is the time!"
Since Ji Xiangkong joined VPG, the performance of this prestigious team has suddenly plummeted. Fans have directed their ire towards him, accusing him of joining the team through an improper relationship with VPG's female CEO, Shu Wen. They claim he has polluted the esports environment and ruined the former ace team of China Conquer.
Qiu Ying: No, but I often go to an internet café called "Dream Traveler"
Qiu Ying stood there in confusion. Ji Xiang tilted his head and said, "I am quite famous. What should I do if I get recognized?"
A Perfect Match! The Talented Beauty Streamer Qiao Xin Captures the Heart of the Iceberg Male God
The best way to defeat a hero is to learn to manipulate it
Ji Xiangkong: Alright. Wait for me there at 2:00 PM
Qiu Ying is too lazy to waste words with petty people. She closes all browsers and chat applications.
At this moment, the boy who confessed has already walked away. Pei Xi remains rooted to the spot. Qiu Ying initially wanted to say, "Don't worry. I have absolutely no interest in you." However, suddenly, images of Qi Fang and Qiao Xin being intimate flashed through her mind. In an instant, her entire face turned red to the ears.
During mealtime, Qiu Ying discussed the training content of professional players with Ji Xiang Kong.
Flawless: Don't blame me either. You are so beautiful and have such a hot figure. Any man would have thoughts about you
Ji Xiangkong bent his finger and tapped her on the head: "If you have any questions in the future, just give me a call. If I happen to be busy, I will reply to you once I see it."
Unfortunately, this gossip theme is too outdated. It lacks novelty. The audience in the front row is already feeling aesthetic fatigue. Just as this was said, another piece of news emerged out of nowhere, quickly exploding into a mushroom cloud
The young man squinted disdainfully and said, "Or is it that teasing men is your pleasure?"
More than an hour later, Ji Xiangkong was resting against the sofa. Qiu Ying supported her head with her elbow, intently reading the updated information of the new version. "Look here—" Qiu Ying pointed at the screen and turned her head. Ji Xiangkong happened to lean forward. Her soft lips brushed against his ear, causing his fair ear to turn red. Ji Xiangkong suddenly leaned back, instinctively pulling on Qiu Ying's arm. She lost her balance and, in a panic, bumped into his chest. His fair ear turned red again. Ji Xiangkong suddenly leaned back, instinctively pulling on Qiu Ying's arm. She lost her balance and, in a panic, bumped into his chest.
Qiu Ying stared blankly at her phone. She wondered if she was dreaming. ... It's so late ... ? ... Is he in training? ? Maybe he was woken up? Should she reply?
Are you referring to the five positions within the same team? Professional players not only need to practice the heroes of their own position but also must be able to play the heroes of other positions
Conquer: The girlfriend of Summit, the top mid-laner of the new generation, Pei Xi, has been revealed
After the news of the termination of the contract between Youxing and Qiu Ying spread online, under the guidance of Qiao Xin's management company, there were continuous efforts to elevate Qiao Xin while disparaging Qiu Ying. They clamored for "the removal of the vase, restoring peace to the esports circle"
Qiu Ying nodded vigorously. Suddenly, she thought of something. If Ji Xiangkong had taken things seriously earlier, the plot of that duo queue match would have been her hanging Qiao Xin upside down and beating her!
She rolled around on the bed holding a bundle of sheets. Her body suddenly froze in mid-air
Unexpectedly, the well-regarded live streaming platform "Limao" has extended an olive branch to her at this moment. In order to shed her past bad reputation, Qiu Ying has decided to delete her account and start anew. She will begin as a small-time streamer, gradually accumulating followers little by little
If Ji Xiangkong is the social butterfly of esports, then Pei Xi is the aloof beauty of esports. With a single glance from his peach blossom eyes, he can captivate female fans to the point of distraction. On the other hand, with a cold expression, he can make female fans scream loudly just by standing there. Some have even suggested that they form a group called The Flower Boys
Qiu Ying's face suddenly flushed with alternating shades of blue and red. ... He ... ... He. ... ... ... He was actually looking at ...
Qiu Ying turned sideways to watch him leave. Silently, she added a new label for him:
( carry the entire game: a gaming term. It usually refers to driving the pace of the entire match. Supporting the team's performance throughout the game. Leading the team towards victory )
This person usually appears quite carefree. However, when responding on WeChat, he is rather serious
Ji Xiangkong: Check your progress in learning to be a commentator. Is there an internet café near your home
Last hitting: delivering the final blow to a low-health minion to kill it. In MOBA games, successful last hitting is necessary to earn gold
How awkward. Meeting is just a straightforward approach. Doesn't he know to add some emotional buildup?
CPL, Conquer Professional League. Conquer Professional League. Although countless esports events of various scales are held globally each year, the official competitions of Conquer still symbolize authority. It consists of CPL, three special tournaments, and the global finals. CPL is divided into two seasons: spring and autumn. The season champion will directly receive a ticket to Seattle.
Flawless: Those posts about you and Ji Xiangkong on the previous website. Ji Xiangkong paid me to delete them
The approach is correct. The next step is proficiency. During exams, one can generally only perform at 80% of their capability. A high level of proficiency is necessary to reduce errors
"It really suits your temperament." Qiu Ying was taken aback. Then she grinned and said, "You know what? Last time I accidentally bumped into Pei Xi. His face turned all blue. He can clearly be affectionate and hug Qiao Xin, but when he touched my hand, it was as if he had come into contact with something unclean. Don't you think that's particularly humiliating?"
On the day of the signing, she hummed a song by Miho Fukuhara: "On the long road of life, there are times of loss and times of recovery. Sometimes, one suddenly feels lonely and cannot help but shed tears"
Ji Xiangkong nodded and said: "Support players usually play carry roles in solo queue. This allows them to better understand the needs of carries. Consequently, they can improve their own skills. The reverse is also true."
The more one plays, the more proficient one will become. With experience, one can also achieve good operation. However, it is similar to studying science subjects. Mindlessly adopting a strategy of excessive practice may occasionally lead to encountering previously solved questions during exams. Nevertheless, this is ultimately an inefficient approach
Retreat. There should be three people on the opposite side. " Qiu Ying kept clicking the mouse towards the direction of the base. Ji Xiangkong couldn't help but smile. " Clicking the mouse frantically won't make you run faster. Also, when you escape, don't just run blindly. You still need to keep an eye on the enemy's presence on the screen. See if there's a chance for a counterattack. "
Pei Xi stepped back uncomfortably. Ji Xiangkong leaned forward mischievously. With a smile that curved like peach blossoms, he said: "What? Do you want an autograph? I'm in a good mood today. A photo together is fine too"
Ji Xiangkong: Are you free the day after tomorrow
Apart from the day they watched the match together in the screening room, Qiu Ying had seen Pei Xi two more times at "Dream Traveler". Given the resentment in her heart towards him for causing Ji Xiangkong to leave the team, she never spoke to him again
Qiu Ying was unwilling to accept defeat. In the losing match, the support player from the VPG team bore significant responsibility. Due to the misleading commentary, most viewers who could not fully understand the match only criticized Ji Xiangkong
Let's go upstairs. I have reserved a private room
Qiu Ying opened the news article about Qiao Xin and Pei Xi. It was a lengthy piece, several thousand words long, detailing the previous duo match between Qiu Ying, Ji Xiangkong versus Qiao Xin, Pei Xi. Throughout the match, Pei Xi was seen skillfully rescuing his partner, delivering money for medicine, and directing the gameplay with precision. He appeared to embody the ideal image of a good boyfriend in China. At the end of the article, several photos were attached. The angles of the photos were exceptionally well chosen, clearly showcasing Qiao Xin's bashful face and Pei Xi's profile. He truly resembled the ideal image of a good boyfriend in China. At the end of the article, several photos were attached. The angles of the photos were exceptionally well chosen, clearly showcasing Qiao Xin's bashful face and Pei Xi's profile.
Pei Xi felt somewhat uncomfortable under her gaze. He lowered the brim of his hat and walked straight past her
Caught off guard by an enemy hero's ambush, Qiu Ying panicked. She always struggled to select the right target. Suddenly, Ji Xiangkong reached out and placed his hand over hers, gripping the mouse. His body leaned in closer, effortlessly completing the operation for her. The system sound echoed once more: "Double Kill!"
In the evening, Ji Xiangkong escorted Qiu Ying back home. Before parting, she couldn't help but ask: "May I add your WeChat account?"
The flickering flame was reignited. Qiu Ying felt as if she were floating. It wasn't until she returned home and sat down at her computer desk that she regained her senses
September. The CPL Autumn Tournament officially fired its first shot
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Ying stood on the balcony, reminiscing about her past self, who was once deeply ensnared in the center of public opinion, feeling lonely and abandoned. A wave of pain surged within her. The cold wind blew against her face, yet her body felt as if it had been ignited by a spark, growing hotter and hotter.
If we were to replay the plot, she would be seen stalking, taking advantage of someone who was drinking and downcast to bring a handsome man home. She would boldly declare that she is not a serious person and express a desire to play around casually. She would ask him if he is interested. If he does not suspect that she has ulterior motives, he would think of her as promiscuous. The hard-earned clean image would be tarnished again
"My current state is not suitable for a romantic relationship." Ji Xiangkong lowered his eyelids. His pitch-black eyes seemed to conceal all emotions. He slowly spoke, "A relationship needs a good beginning. Otherwise, it would be too irresponsible."
She was waiting for him to reply with "Haha. That really scared me" or "Oh dear. If I had known, I would have agreed. I missed out on a beautiful woman throwing herself at me. What a loss!" Then she could brush off the matter like a joke. However, he only responded with a faint, "Mm. Good night."
The moment of deciding to take action. Consider as much as possible the reactions the other party may have, and how to respond to them. Ji Xiangkong's eyes held a gentle smile. "Alright. Withdraw this group of soldiers. Buy a pair of shoes. Go roam in the bottom lane."
Qiu Ying turned her head. She did not know when Ji Xiangkong had already stood behind her. He was carrying a sports backpack on one shoulder, with his arm resting on the back of her chair. Leaning down, he asked, "Have you been waiting long?"
Qiu Ying stood there in a daze. After a while, she slowly nodded her head.
Qiu Ying: You should have some time in the afternoon. What happened
Four o'clock in the morning. He is surprisingly still awake
Qiu Ying scrolled to the bottom of the news. Suddenly, a QQ chat window popped up on the screen. It was from the Conquer esports group she had joined. Someone sent her a private message.
Qiu Ying: ... ... What exactly do you want to do
It has been nearly a month since the confession was rejected. Just as "Aunt Flo" has arrived, Qiu Ying's mood has plunged once again. She simply changed her evening live stream to emotional counseling, guest-starring as the Pink Sister. With a look of dejection, she listened to the various emotional questions posed by the audience
Qiu Ying slammed the window shut with great force. Block him. A few seconds later, he sent a private message on Weibo.
It is truly amazing. Her performance has not shown any remarkable progress. Yet, she is able to become more and more courageous under the continuous commands of Ji Xiangkong. For the first time in her life, she feels the exhilarating sensation of achieving an extraordinary level and carrying the entire team to victory
Qiu Ying's heart surged with emotion. She nodded vigorously. At that moment, the door opened again
Sister, are you alright? Seeing that she hasn't responded for a long time, Gu Jiayi did not forget to feed her a spoonful of chicken soup. There is nothing wrong with a girl actively pursuing love. Stand in a sufficiently dazzling position. Let him be attracted to you!
"Is he engaged in social practice?" Qiu Ying displayed an expression as if she were choked by rice. "Experiencing the life of the working people?"
Ji Xiangkong: Do not make such jokes with other men in the future
On the afternoon of the second day, Qiu Ying went to the high-end internet café "Dream Traveler" for her studies, as usual. During this period, she had been coming frequently and had gotten to know several regular high-level players. Unexpectedly, one of them suddenly blocked her in the hallway and confessed his feelings to her without any warning
Not far away, a figure silently watched as they entered the elevator one after another
Oh?
The private room was extremely quiet. Ji Xiangkong cleared his throat lightly. He gave him a look that said, "Why are you still not leaving"
Qiu Ying straightened up awkwardly. Suddenly, she let out a light sigh: "Ah, your clothes ... ... "
Why is there a lack of confidence to express feelings of affection? Does she truly understand him?
Qiu Ying was completely baffled. She had no deep connection with him. At most, they had been a bit polite when speaking to each other.
It felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. Qiu Ying's heart instantly turned icy cold.
Does it matter what he thinks? She has already been rejected
The distance is too close. Both individuals can clearly hear each other's breathing.
The comments have exploded again: "VPG is in a bloodbath! This year, Legend is going to become the world champion!"
This internet café was opened by China's first retired player to win the Conquer World Championship, the former captain of VPG, Summer. "Ji Xiangkong nodded towards the door. "Pei Xi is his cousin."
Was my mind malfunctioning at that time? How could I have said such nonsense?
Qiu Ying leisurely scrolled down the page. To her surprise, fans of Ji Xiangkong and fans of Pei Xi had actually started arguing in the comments section
Our team's performance in the Kong Kong competition far exceeds that of Pei Mian Tan, alright? Those in the know understand that Pei Mian Tan is merely a resource-draining tumor!
You might as well find a steady girlfriend to prevent them from spreading rumors
Regardless of tears and pain, transform them into stars, igniting the light that will illuminate tomorrow
Conquer is akin to playing chess. It is an intellectual confrontation. Some high-level players exhibit a phenomenon akin to 'high scores but low ability'. In professional play, there exists a rigidity in item builds and a lack of creativity. This is due to not having fundamentally mastered the skills of the game, relying instead on a wealth of experience accumulated through extensive practice.
... ...
Qiu Ying: What do you want to say
Ji Xiang's gaze darkened. The corners of his mouth tightened. His expression gradually became serious. After noticing that Qiu Ying did not respond, he fell silent. With his large eyes veiled in a thin mist, he looked at her in confusion. Suddenly, he propped himself up on the table... turning his face towards her...
She thought that this message would sink into oblivion as usual. Unexpectedly, her phone vibrated shortly after.
"In a moment, when the mid-laner from the opposite side comes forward to last-hit minions, you can take him down," said Ji Xiangkong, who was spectating. "You have enough mana for a full combo. Your movement speed is faster than his. With a few basic attacks, you can eliminate him."
In his line of sight, Qiao Xin leaned in with a flattering demeanor. Qi Yue raised his chin and looked down at her. Suddenly, his large hand grasped the back of her head, forcefully pulling her head towards him and kissing her lips.
Qiu Ying quickly recognized it. This was the embrace they shared in the corridor after finishing the variety show that day
What is this guy up to
I apologize. What I said last night was a joke. Please do not take it to heart
Have you experienced it? The key to winning a match is mastering the rhythm. Understand what you should do and when you should do it
Since Qiu Ying stopped dancing, singing, and playfully interacting online, and focused solely on being a game streamer, her popularity ultimately did not meet the expectations of Youxing. She was forced to terminate her contract. The supervisor responsible for her revealed that there was originally a chance for improvement regarding the viewership ratings. However, the senior management of Youxing ultimately decided to allocate all resources to Qiao Xin, promoting her to become an esports star, thereby abandoning Qiu Ying.
Qiu Ying instinctively shifted a little to the side. She heard Ji Xiangkong casually ask, "Why didn't you knock on the door?"
During the phone call in the evening, Ji Xiangkong was very open-minded: "It doesn't matter. As long as the competition results are good afterwards, everything will be fine."
Ji Xiang Kong smiled and waved at the person, saying: "Yo. Pei Xi, when did you become a waiter?"
At that moment, she gazed at the elegant contours of his profile and suddenly felt a great distance between them
After Qiu Ying shared her experiences from this afternoon with her cousin Gu Jiayi on WeChat, her cousin, who is well-versed in romance novels, repeatedly exclaimed that she was very foolish and naive: "When a man and a woman are alone in a room, it is easy to create an ambiguous atmosphere. Many boys will take the opportunity to kiss, even if the person is not someone they like."
I have watched several nights of your live commentary on the matches. Indeed, you have put in a lot of hard work. However, the progress is not significant. " Ji Xiangkong stretched his long legs forward, crossed his arms, and lazily leaned against the back of the sofa. " In doing anything, it is not guaranteed that hard work alone will lead to success. The most important thing is to master the method.
That person is the owner of an esports gossip portal. He spends his days catching whispers within the community. He relies on rumors and slander to attract attention. Recently, following the duo queue incident, he used the style of a third-rate sensational novel to depict the relationship between her and Ji Xiangkong in a filthy manner. This led a group of people to believe it as truth and join in the ridicule.
Qiu Ying drooped her head languidly
Ji Xiangkong: It's alright. You should go to sleep now
Qiu Ying clumsily got up and began to tap away at her phone.
His words came too suddenly. Qiu Ying's heart raced wildly. She tried her best to regain her composure. Her fingers trembled slightly as they tapped on the phone screen
The girl on the other end of the line was crying, her tears resembling pear blossoms in the rain. She choked back her sobs as she recounted, "At that time, his love for me was so pure and unpretentious. But now, he has taken a liking to the seductive vixen next door. How should I perform to delay his weariness..."
"... ... Do you often see?" Ji Xiang looked slightly puzzled. Soon, he tilted his head. With a mischievous smile, he said, "He probably wants to talk to you, right? Should I keep my distance to avoid interrupting your romantic prospects?"
No wonder I see him often, Qiu Ying suddenly realized. The service in the private room is truly considerate. The boss's cousin personally delivers the meals
Qiu Ying stared blankly for a moment, unable to help but exclaim how chaotic the entertainment industry is. Due to both individuals possessing outstanding appearances, they are often compared by the media. Naturally, fans who only support one side express various grievances. Furthermore, with the previous revelation that Legend had kicked Ji Xiangkong out because of Pei Xi, the fans from both sides have long been at odds, viewing each other as lifelong enemies
She has been busy with her studies and commentary recently, leaving her no time to pay attention to the dynamics within the industry. Looking back now, it is evident that Qiao Xin's skills in playing Conquer have become increasingly refined. She has indeed been positioned by the gaming community as a strong female streamer, consistently occupying a recommended spot on the homepage and experiencing a surge in popularity
After a dazzling team battle, Qiu Ying's game ID reappeared at the top of the screen: CherryQ has dominated the match
She forced herself to concentrate. Yet, the sound of her heartbeat echoed in her ears like a drum. Indeed, a serious man is the most handsome.
Alright. Next, let's connect with the audience member 'The Defensive Dwarf'. What emotional difficulties have you encountered?
He truly protects you. I have written so many tabloid stories about him in the past. He has never minded.
... ...
Qiu Ying stayed up for two nights. She wrote an article analyzing Pei Xi's views on Ji Xiangkong, as well as her own understanding gained during this period, and posted it on the forum. However, the viewers, who were bizarrely angry due to VPG's poor performance, accused her of being Ji Xiangkong's paid commenter and a brainless defender. Waves of personal attacks and insults flooded in. For several days, her live streaming room was overwhelmed with barrage comments, making it difficult to see the screen.
She appeared flushed, her eyes flickering, wanting to speak yet hesitating. Pei Xi furrowed her brows, looking utterly perplexed.
The next day, Qiu Ying arrived an hour earlier than the agreed time. Restlessly sitting in the public area, she browsed through videos. When she saw an exciting highlight, a long, slender hand with distinct joints tapped on her desk.
Let us take learning science as an analogy. Deepen your understanding of the knowledge points during the practice process. Absorb and digest it. With each problem you solve, you must understand that what you have learned is not merely how to solve the current problem, but rather the thought process behind analyzing the issue.
Qiu Ying finally calmed her emotions. She slowly raised her head, and her gaze towards him was filled with compassion
What are you afraid of! If he refuses, just tear it up!
... ...
Oh dear. Didn't I ask you to wait for me at the usual place? Why did you come directly here? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by others
She suddenly sat up in bed. Her scalp tingled.
The pen in Qiu Ying's hand fell down
The milk tea you ordered
Pei Xi's gaze swept towards Qiu Ying, his expression dark and brooding as if he were about to lash out. The latter nearly spat out the water she was drinking, as she had never used the term 'admiration' before
It was unclear how much time had passed. Suddenly, the door opened. Ji Xiangkong and Qiu Ying both raised their heads at the same time. They saw a person carrying a tray walk in. He was tall and slender, with the brim of his cap pulled down low, almost obscuring half of his face. Nevertheless, Qiu Ying immediately recognized him.
That is still better than your family's seasonally useless man finding a plain-looking woman! A good-for-nothing who only knows how to live off others!
The entire upcoming week will be filled with high-intensity work. The live streaming platform Youxing is promoting the newly launched MOBA mobile game "Chì Wǔ Shén". They are gathering top stars to hold offline events with selected lucky players.
Qiu Ying slammed the table in anger: "Is this kind of boyfriend just waiting for the New Year to be ignored!"
Qiu Ying was just about to say something in her defense when her gaze shifted to the right. In an instant, she was frozen in place. Pei Xi, wearing a baseball cap, stopped in his tracks and cast a cold glance at her
As she reached the entrance, Qiu Ying suddenly stopped in her tracks
Qiu Ying suddenly felt a wave of nausea. Her hand gripping the mouse trembled with anger. Once again, she had encountered a pervert.
Qiu Ying retracted her neck and shook her head repeatedly
If your boyfriend were next to me, I would turn around and slap him
Having lost the match, if the audience needs to vent their emotions, they can come to me. Otherwise, my other teammates might be subjected to insults, which could lead to emotional fluctuations and affect their performance. On the other end of the phone, Ji Xiangkong chuckled self-deprecatingly. "In any case, I have already gotten used to it"
Qiu Ying swiftly took out her notebook. Like a diligent student, she began to jot down notes rapidly
The new season is about to begin. While I still have some free time recently, I will provide you with some special guidance
Qiu Ying opened her mouth, stunned and unable to speak for a long time. She recalled the events that had occurred earlier between her and Ji Xiangkong, and cold sweat began to flow. Could it be that others viewed her this way as well? It was over... Ji Xiangkong wouldn't also think that she was trying to seduce him repeatedly, would he?
Qiao Xin's boyfriend is sycophantic, lewd, and has poor judgment. He is rude, has obsessive cleanliness, and pretends to be upright. Moreover, he has been cheated on.
Is that Qi Yue from VPG ... ? ... How did he get here ?
Qiu Ying: "Of course not! I just can't stand being toyed with by you. I said those things to scare you."
"It wasn't me." Pei Xi pressed her lips tightly together. After a while, she finally spoke. "It wasn't me who had Legend fire you."
Do you still remember what I told you before?" Ji Xiangkong's low and gentle voice spread in Qiu Ying's ear, like a feather lightly brushing against her heart. "Most people only want to hear what they already believe. They do not care about the truth. So, why waste time on them?"
Pei Xi's body stiffened. Her lips parted slightly, then closed again. After placing down two servings of braised pork rice, she left without looking back
You will regret it
The night is deep. Qiu Ying tosses and turns, unable to sleep. As soon as she closes her eyes, she can hear her own voice. "Let's be together. The kind where we just have fun." "I'm not a serious person either." ... "It's fine if it's not serious." ...
Qiu Ying's smile froze on her face. Subsequently, she slightly pouted her lips in a somewhat aggrieved manner
Qiu Ying took a deep breath. Conquer has over a hundred heroes. The lineup and combinations are varied and diverse. It takes a great deal of effort to master them all. Not to mention the need to develop unique skills.
This time, they probably will not contact each other again
Both in prime time. Qiao Xin's Conquer skills have recently surpassed Qiu Ying by a large margin. Last-hitting, positioning, and combo execution are all beautiful. She frequently uses amazing maneuvers to show off in front of the audience. The call for "having both strength and beauty" is getting higher and higher. Coupled with the title of "Top Mid Laner Pei Xifei's rumored girlfriend," her live streaming room is extremely popular. Faced with this result, Qiu Ying was speechless.
After a busy day, the host held a celebration in a KTV private room in the evening. Qiu Ying did not want to stay long. She seized an opportunity to leave early. After exiting, she took several turns and unexpectedly could not find the main entrance.
The private room fell silent once again. Qiu Ying unconsciously gathered her long hair on both sides together, trying to cover her flushed face. If Pei Xi hadn't come in... was he just now trying to...
Hmm? Ji Xiangkong's face showed a look of doubt
Qiu Ying chooses to disconnect from the internet
In this match, she played as a mid-laner. She faced off against the enemy in a 1V1 duel in the mid lane, just as usual. She held her breath and focused intently on controlling her character to secure last hits.
How dare he show his face here! Qiu Ying felt a surge of anger within her. Just as she was about to close the window, her movement halted when she saw the line of text he had sent.
Qiu Ying took a deep breath and returned her a smile
The enemy has gone missing from the top lane. They may be planning to engage in the mid lane. Do not position yourself too far forward.
Before he finished speaking, his subordinates were gone. The door slammed shut with a bang
However ... ...
Ji Xiangkong raised two fingers: "The key lies in two points: method and proficiency"
Ji Xiang turned around and shrugged at Qiu Ying: "It must be really tough for VPG. How boring it must be to have a teammate who can't even say a word all day."
No need
Similarly, for Conquer, operating a hero is not about memorizing the order of item builds, skill upgrades, or ability sequences. It is about fully understanding the hero's skills, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as their power spikes and vulnerabilities. Only with a profound understanding can one adapt and make the most appropriate moves at the right moment
How is that possible? He already has Qiao Xin! Although he has been rejected by Ji Xiangkong, hearing him say that still made Qiu Ying feel a bit disheartened. After saying this, she lowered her head and pondered. Did Pei Xi notice that Qiao Xin has betrayed him? ... Should I give him a hint ...
Sent to you
Knocked.
She felt that this person seemed somewhat familiar
After being gently rejected by Qiu Ying, the other party immediately withdrew their gentle smile and coldly said: "Since you have no feelings for me, why do you always use the soft and sweet Wu Nong language, causing my heart to race for you? This is quite excessive"
Ji Xiangkong: Anchor Qiu, what you are doing is not emotional counseling. It is kicking a person when they are down and adding salt to the wound
Yay! Qiu Ying was in high spirits. She turned her head and smiled broadly at Ji Xiang.
Qiao Xin knows how many jin and liang Qiu Ying weighs. Could it be that she has truly undergone a significant change in character? No longer clinging to powerful figures and resorting to tricks?
The enemy is likely to launch an attack here. You should flank from the jungle and target their backline
His voice is deep and pleasant. When he speaks seriously, he resembles a reformed dandy nobleman.
This kind of post is simply a guaranteed score on Douban and Zhihu
Although I barely managed to pay the tuition with my previous savings, the down payment for the house has fallen through. Qiu Ying sat on the floor with her legs crossed, holding a pot, eating instant noodles with added eggs. She faced the wall, contemplating life.
Pei Xi nodded slightly, standing still in place
Several connections were made in one night. Qiu Ying's responses were uniformly -
The area on Qiu Ying's hand where he had touched began to feel a wave of heat. Half of her body felt as if it were on fire
Qiu Ying straightened her back. She began the competition with trepidation. Her fingers trembled as she typed on the keyboard
As she passed through a secluded corridor, she saw a figure leaning against the wall. The young man had a spiky hairstyle, elongated almond-shaped eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. He was wearing a white casual hoodie, paired with red pants and black and red sneakers. His outfit was exceedingly flashy.
She is feeling conflicted. The phone vibrated again
Ji Xiangkong raised an eyebrow: "Today's special offer?"
The following days were overcast. Qiu Ying had no time to groom herself. She wore loose-fitting T-shirts and long pants. A pair of old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses rested on her nose. She appeared lethargic.
A few days later, major portal websites published the news: Confirmed! The esports socialite has re-entered a prestigious family! After being expelled from Legend, Ji Xiangkong has joined VPG!
The next day, reality dealt a harsh blow to dreams
Qiu Ying has recently been focused on researching the gaming skills of Conquer. Additionally, she was reluctant to showcase a deep sisterly bond with Qiao Xin in front of the camera. Initially, she did not intend to participate. However, due to the recent decline in live broadcast viewership, and after repeated suggestions from the super admin, she decided to join in to make up the numbers. After completing the commercial launch event, they played games with the players, had meals, and visited the amusement park. The entire event was live-streamed on Youxing, with the bullet comments filled with cries of envy and jealousy. After the commercial launch event, they played games with the players, had meals, and visited the amusement park. The entire event was live-streamed on Youxing, with the bullet comments filled with cries of envy and jealousy. In no time, the new server of "Fiery Martial God" became extremely popular.
Qiu Ying was brought to tears. It was not that she had never seen such a scene before, nor was it that she felt wronged for herself. She simply wished she could open her arms to shield him from some harm, just as he had done for her in the beginning
Ji Xiangkong is truly a powerhouse in the realm of elite teams. It is estimated that next year it will be Dragon's turn! To the members of Dragon, I ask you, are you afraid or not!
Qiu Ying's eyes turned as she made a rough guess in her mind. Qiao Xin's move was indeed clever.
Out of curiosity, Qiu Ying tiptoed back and hid behind the wall, peeking out. At this moment, there was an additional person at the end of the corridor. Qiao Xin was wearing a white V-neck spaghetti strap short dress. Her sweet, overly cute voice floated lightly in the air.
Moreover, a stunning beauty like Sister Ying offering a hug is something a straight man has no reason to refuse
Ah. For example. That ... ... "Qiu Ying blinked frequently due to nervousness. "Is there anything I don't understand ... ... "
A wave of acidity surged in her stomach. Tears welled up in her eyes. Qiu Ying got up and, in the darkness, found her phone. She opened Ji Xiangkong's WeChat profile and edited her message several times. Finally, taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and pressed send.
"Stop talking. It's making me furious! Let me tell you, dealing with scumbags..." Qiu Ying was in the midst of her passionate speech when a WeChat message from Ji Xiangkong suddenly popped up in the notification bar on her phone. She was so startled that she almost fell off her chair in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers.
Come. Play a game for me to see
The private room is a double room. On the table in front of the long sofa, there are two high-end computers. Ji Xiangkong opened one of them and beckoned Qiu Ying to sit beside him. He double-clicked the Conquer client to enter the game
Ji Xiangkong lowered his head. He saw the lipstick mark she had left on his collar.
After the theoretical explanation was completed, Ji Xiangkong began to replay the recording of Qiu Ying's previous live commentary. He occasionally paused to point out her minor mistakes in detail. His reasoning was clear, and his tone was gentle yet powerful. Qiu Ying could envision him as the brain of the team, analyzing the match footage with fellow team members after the game.
Flawless: I really like you! I listen to your voice every day. I want to hold you tightly. To kiss your soft lips... To smell the fragrance on your body... My website has a large number of views. If you agree to me! I will never write about your scandals again!
She swallowed hard. Carefully observing Ji Xiangkong's reaction, she saw him get up and walk towards Pei Xi. Casually draping an arm over Pei Xi's shoulder, he said: "I know. Qiu Ying told me. You admire me greatly"
She stole a glance at Ji Xiangkong from the corner of her eye. She saw him dial a number on the phone at the edge of the table. Once the call connected, he casually crossed his legs and said in a calm and composed manner: "Hello. Is this the manager? Why do your waitstaff always come in without permission? What do they look like? It's a young man wearing a hat indoors. The user experience is extremely poor. I suggest he be reassigned to washing dishes. Cleaning the restroom would also be acceptable." Why do your waitstaff always come in without permission? What do they look like? It's a young man wearing a hat indoors. The user experience is extremely poor. I suggest he be reassigned to washing dishes. Cleaning the restroom would also be acceptable.
Qiu Ying was left dumbfounded, nearly dropping her phone
He heard everything
Pei Xi set down the milk tea. As she was leaving, she turned back to take a look. She seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Look at that. The person's head is a vibrant green, just like a lush spring lawn
Ji Xiangkong observed Qiu Yingruo's contemplative expression, slightly retracting the smile at the corners of his mouth
Qi Yue scoffed coldly: "It's just as well that you were discovered. This way, you won't keep thinking about Pei Xi."
Your family's scoundrel is flirting with everyone. Unlike my Peipei, who is pure and virtuous
I'm sorry, but there is no content provided for me to translate. Please provide the content you want me to translate.
Under the gaze of the two individuals, Pei Xi expressionlessly placed a plate of salt and crispy chicken on the table
Qiu Ying stared blankly at the dialogue box
Ji Xiangkong lowered her gaze and looked at Qiu Ying. She seemed to have discovered something interesting. When she spoke, her eyelashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly: "Perhaps Pei Xi is the type who treats his girlfriend like a treasure and other women like grass? If you think about it this way, it could be considered a virtue..."
She had not failed to probe his thoughts. In the afternoon, while in the private room, she feigned nonchalance and asked him whether he felt troubled by the constant rumors surrounding him throughout the day
The door suddenly opened again. Pei Xi held a tray in his hand, looking coldly at the two people in the room with ambiguous postures.
"Why?" Ji Xiangkong raised an eyebrow, quickly understanding. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. I've completely forgotten."
If she could sit in the commentator's box. If her voice is powerful enough to sway public opinion. ... If she could be even more powerful ....
In fact, the double queue that Qiu Ying regarded as a disgrace is sufficient to demonstrate the unusual relationship between Qiao Xin and Pei Xi. However, at that time, public opinion was overshadowed by Ji Xiangkong and Qiu Ying. Now that the old matter is being brought up again, it gives a sense of being deliberately orchestrated
Qiu Ying followed him through the hall. When they were waiting at the elevator door, she lowered her head and anxiously pulled at the hem of her clothes, saying, "I thought you wouldn't talk to me anymore..."
She became increasingly agitated as she spoke: "You did not make a mistake with your lineup in the final round! There were too many errors in the early game, which led to the tactics not being implemented well. Qi Yue did not come to support several times. There were significant issues with the gameplay!"
Wuxia: I don't believe that you all haven't had a fling. I know you want to become a professional commentator now. Can we meet up?
Qiao Xin hugged Qi Yue's neck. Qiu Ying covered her mouth in surprise. She was so lucky to encounter such big news. It's a pity that she's not a gossip reporter.
The game has ended. Qiu Ying stared at the big screen displaying the victory message "Conquer!" along with her record of 15 kills and 0 deaths. She was at a loss for words for a long time.
The moment the computer shut down, she sprang up from the chair with a "thud." Raising her arms high, she ran barefoot into the bedroom, rolling around on the bed with the blanket. In a moment of distraction, she rolled off onto the floor and nearly twisted her ankle
Qiu Ying rarely takes the initiative. At most, she uses her skills to lower the opponent's health. After hearing him say that, she boldly launched an attack. A few seconds later, the system sound in the game announced: "First blood!"
