Chapter 58 Chapter 58: Xiao Cheng Embarrasses Himself Online (1)
“Damn, it’s seriously insane,” Zheng Wenxuan exclaimed. “Really, that girl looked insanely good when she was sleeping. I didn’t listen to a single word in class.”
“So you just stared at her sleeping, huh? You’re really creepy,” Liu Xianlin said with a look of disgust.
Xu Yecheng didn’t dare say anything, but honestly felt that Zheng Wenxuan really was kind of creepy.
Zheng Wenxuan frowned in confusion. “That’s ridiculous. What’s wrong with just looking? I didn’t do anything immoral. It’s not like I touched her anywhere.”
Xu Yecheng’s expression stiffened again.
Touched by this guy?
Xu Yecheng really couldn’t imagine it.
Just picturing himself being stared at with a lecherous face by Zheng Wenxuan while he was asleep made his scalp tingle. If he actually laid a hand on him, Xu Yecheng would ascend to heaven on the spot.
Xu Yecheng pulled a tissue from the desk and blew his nose. Zheng Wenxuan’s gaze immediately shifted onto him.
“Right? Baby Cheng, how am I creepy?”
Xu Yecheng gave a slightly stiff smile and rolled the tissue into the trash can.
“It’s… not too bad……”
“Yeah, just appreciating. Nothing wrong with that,” He Xiaohan added.
Zheng Wenxuan’s expression instantly became a little intoxicated again.
“And when that young lady left, she even took the initiative to say goodbye to me. Damn, it really felt like she was approachable and down-to-earth.”
Hearing this, a trace of doubt appeared on He Xiaohan’s face.
But Wan Ning didn’t seem like that in front of him.
He Xiaohan lowered his gaze.
Why did it still feel like she was a little afraid of him, yet in front of Zheng Wenxuan she was completely different?
She really did seem like an interesting person.
Thinking this, He Xiaohan placed his hands back on the keyboard and mouse.
“She is pretty nice,” he said as he queued up for the next match.
Zheng Wenxuan leaned over to take a look and immediately complained, “He Lao is secretly ranking up and didn’t even bring me.”
“Weren’t you not here just now?” He Xiaohan said helplessly. “Let’s do a three-man queue. Go find one more person.”
Hearing this, Xu Yecheng immediately felt reassured.
Zheng Wenxuan patted Xu Yecheng on the shoulder and said with a grin, “Baby Cheng, let’s rank up.”
Since Zheng Wenxuan had invited him like that, Xu Yecheng didn’t really have a reason to refuse. He hadn’t played games much recently either, and he wanted to play a couple of rounds for fun.
As for He Xiaohan—he’d just treat him like a random teammate.
“Alright,” Xu Yecheng responded. He lowered his head to check his messages and saw one from Doudou.
“Ningning, I put your clothes in the store manager’s office. When do you have time to come pick them up~”
“Okay,” Xu Yecheng replied, then opened the game.
“Want to go out together on Saturday? I want to buy a few clothes and then watch a movie. What do you think?” Doudou asked again.
Xu Yecheng thought about it briefly. Going out meant spending money again……
But fortunately, he now had a job with fairly decent income, so relaxing a bit wouldn’t be too bad, right?
Yet at the same time, a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.
Usually, he hardly went anywhere around campus. Even now, as a sophomore, he was only just barely familiar with the surrounding area.
“Of course,” Xu Yecheng replied. At worst, he could just save a bit on expenses—he should be able to make it to the end of the month. If things really went wrong, there was always taking a loan.
Besides, from the way Doudou put it, going out probably wouldn’t cost much—at most just buying some snacks on the way and accompanying Doudou for a stroll.
For some reason, Xu Yecheng started to feel a bit excited.
However, he still had concerns about this kind of friendship. After all, he was interacting with Doudou under the identity of Xu Wanning. If one day in the future Doudou found out that he was actually Xu Wanning, what kind of reaction would she have?
Xu Yecheng felt like he might have made a mistake……
Perhaps out of a longing for a sincere friendship, he had naturally interacted with Doudou as Xu Wanning. But now, if telling her the truth meant their relationship would break apart, Xu Yecheng suddenly found himself reluctant to let go.
But friends…… once the initial enthusiasm faded and they stopped contacting each other, they would naturally drift apart anyway, right?
Thinking this way, Xu Yecheng felt he was being a little selfish.
“Baby Cheng, where are you?” Zheng Wenxuan’s voice reached his ears at that moment.
Xu Yecheng snapped back to his senses. “Oh, oh, coming.”
As an old-school homebody, Liu Xianlin—who loved anime-style games—was naturally excluded.
Xu Yecheng saw He Xiaohan silently pick jungle. Stuck at the bottom, Xu Yecheng had no choice but to fill as ADC.
When Zheng Wenxuan saw that Xu Yecheng took a carry role, his face stiffened immediately.
“Whoa, you’re playing carry? Are you serious?”
Xu Yecheng shrugged helplessly. “Top was already taken. That just leaves ADC for me. What else can I do?”
“Damn it, people who steal roles are idiots,” Zheng Wenxuan cursed viciously after glancing at the top laner’s name. “But after he sees your ADC, he probably won’t dare steal again.”
Xu Yecheng frowned. “Hey, I’ve secretly practiced ADC too, alright? I’m not the same as before anymore.”
As it turned out, Xu Yecheng got completely destroyed in lane that match. Even his own support couldn’t help saying:
“Bro, you’re using a cannon, not a knife.”
Luckily, He Xiaohan had quietly farmed up a massive gold lead. Just as Xu Yecheng stepped out from under the tower to last-hit minions, the enemy jungler suddenly appeared behind him and instantly burst him down with a full combo.
“Baby Cheng, you’re really miserable,” Zheng Wenxuan said, looking at Xu Yecheng’s score—0/5, with only half his CS.
Xu Yecheng had always been pretty Zen about gaming. It was supposed to be something fun; there was no need to get angry.
“Just rely on you guys. I’m basically useless this game,” Xu Yecheng sighed. Then he saw the champion He Xiaohan was playing dash out from the side and effortlessly get a double kill with QWER.
Xu Yecheng was completely stunned.
“Holy shit,” he blurted out instinctively at the outrageous damage.
Then he saw He Xiaohan control his character, walk over to Xu Yecheng’s corpse, and wiggle back and forth.
Xu Yecheng’s entire face scrunched up. What was he doing? Taunting him?
Xu Yecheng’s expression darkened. Then he saw He Xiaohan place a ward next to his character’s head.
Oh, great. Putting up a gravestone for him, huh?
Xu Yecheng couldn’t take it anymore.
But he still didn’t want to talk to this guy right now.
Finally, when his character died for the tenth time, He Xiaohan once again traveled from afar just to place another ward beside Xu Yecheng’s fallen character. Xu Yecheng completely snapped.
“What the hell are you doing?” Xu Yecheng said in a low voice.
“Putting down a torch. You’re low on health—I’m worried monsters might spawn.”
“……”
