After finishing her glass of water, Fu Xiaoxiao stuck out her little tongue and kept panting.
Su Huaiming asked, "Would you like to eat more?"
Fu Xiaoxiao stared at the bright red bottom of the pot, her eyes filled with apprehension, her features scrunched up in a frown, and she shook her head repeatedly. "I'm not eating anymore, I'm not eating anymore."
Su Huaiming nodded after receiving a satisfactory answer and replaced the beef in the clear broth hot pot for Fu Xiaoxiao.
Fu Xiaoxiao is young, but he has a very stubborn temper. If you talk to him nicely, not even ten oxen could pull him back.
The best way is to let him suffer a bit, so he'll realize the difficulty and give up, and won't try again.
After experiencing the power of the spicy beef tallow hot pot, Fu Xiaoxiao became much more obedient, actively eating the meat and vegetables cooked in the clear broth and tomato broth. Her face was covered in gravy, and she wished she could bury her head in the bowl.
After dinner, the children gathered together to play. Ji Mingzhe wanted to take care of them, but he found that he couldn't fit in at all. In fact, the children could play even better without him.
Ji Mingzhe sighed with a mixture of relief and helplessness, then sat down on the sofa with Su Huaiming and the others, letting the children play by themselves.
The five adults watched TV for a while, then got bored, but didn't want to go home so early, so they each played on their phones.
Quite coincidentally, Su Huaiming and Sun Siyuan opened the game at the same time, and the sound effects echoed each other, almost overlapping.
Su Huaiming and Sun Siyuan exchanged a glance and reached a certain consensus.
"Want to play a game?"
"OK."
Hearing their conversation, Yu Ruicheng hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Count me in."
Su Huaiming nodded, and seeing that three people wanted to play the game, he asked Ji Mingzhe, "Brother Ji, do you want to play?"
Ji Mingzhe was mature and composed, and was the oldest person present. He didn't seem like the type to play games, but he nodded without hesitation, looking at the phone screen with a fighting glint in his eyes.
The four people who have been together for two episodes of the variety show are going to play games. If they don't include the newcomer Zhou Hanyan, it will be suspected that they are excluding the new guest.
Having considered this, Ji Mingzhe offered, "Hanyan, would you like to play a round too?"
Zhou Hanyan didn't play games and initially wanted to refuse, but remembering Su Huaiming's previous act of deleting him, a surge of resentment rose within him, and he nodded almost unconsciously, "Okay, but I've never played this game."
Upon hearing this, Sun Siyuan immediately raised her eyebrows and glared, about to refuse Zhou Hanyan, but Ji Mingzhe preempted her, saying, "It's okay, we can take you out to play."
Zhou Hanyan acted quickly and had already downloaded the game. Sun Siyuan opened his mouth, but met the gazes of Ji Mingzhe and Su Huaiming, and could only swallow his words.
Under Ji Mingzhe's guidance, Zhou Hanyan quickly completed the tutorial and was able to play games with Su Huaiming and the others.
Since Zhou Hanyan didn't know how to play, Ji Mingzhe suggested that he play support, and chose an easier-to-learn hero.
The others tacitly took the other four positions and prepared to start the game.
After entering the game, Ji Mingzhe continued to instruct Zhou Hanyan, "Go and follow the marksman."
Zhou Hanyan looked up at Ji Mingzhe with a blank expression. "Who's the archer?"
Ji Mingzhe: "..."
Seeing that Zhou Hanyan genuinely didn't know how to play games, he chuckled and said, "The bottom lane is the marksman this game."
Zhou Hanyan seemed unable to see clearly, so he leaned closer to the screen, stared at the pink-clad girl bouncing around in the bottom lane, and then clicked on the match details before recognizing the person controlling her.
... It was Sun Siyuan.
If it weren't for the cameras, Zhou Hanyan would have rolled her eyes on the spot.
Zhou Hanyan still had his own plans in mind. He knew that a small act of impatience could ruin a big plan, so he gritted his teeth and forced himself to walk down the path.
Sun Siyuan and Zhou Hanyan are mortal enemies. Even though they are now teammates in the game, they still can't stand each other and wish they could kill each other with their skills.
They were so engrossed in their verbal sparring that they completely ignored the opposing marksman, instead focusing on picking on each other's mistakes and trying to verbally destroy one another.
"Your positioning is terrible. You want to die, don't drag me down with you."
"You have the nerve to say that? We fought for ages and the opponent didn't lose a single drop of health. Even your character outlines aren't as precise as theirs."
"Look how well the enemy support is playing; you can't even use your skills."
"Look how well the enemy marksman is playing; you've already died three times."
"..."
Amidst their shouting and cursing, a tower fell, and Zhou Hanyan finally got used to the skills, reluctantly becoming Sun Siyuan's shield.
Zhou Hanyan lost his positioning and could do nothing but use skills, watching Sun Siyuan's actions with dead fish eyes.
Sun Siyuan looked at the illusory projection hanging on the game character he was controlling, and inexplicably felt a heaviness in his neck, his tone becoming even more sarcastic.
The other three players played very well, and even though the bottom lane was almost wiped out, they still managed to accumulate an advantage.
They always pick on the weakest link; when the opposing team realized the bottom laner was playing poorly, they collectively ambushed them there.
Sun Siyuan originally intended to pass through the bushes, but five burly men suddenly appeared and pinned him to the ground, beating him mercilessly.
Before he could react, he saw his game character lying gloriously on the ground, completely dead, and he could finally take his hands off the screen.
"..."
Zhou Hanyan escaped unscathed, but with a trickle of blood on his face, he was relentlessly pursued by five burly men.
He was caught off guard by this situation right after starting the game, and he panicked terribly. He pressed his fingers hard on the screen, gritted his teeth, and strained his entire body.
In a daze, he seemed to have become a game character, hanging by a thread.
"Help me!" Zhou Hanyan cried out in desperation when he realized he was about to be caught.
Just then, he heard a clear and melodious voice, very calm and steady, which brought him a sense of comfort.
"Come up."
Zhou Hanyan only felt a blur before his eyes, not seeing clearly who had arrived, and subconsciously activated his ultimate skill, attaching himself to his game character.
He had no knowledge of the game or the other heroes. He just thought the skills were incredibly cool and dazzling, and the opposing heroes couldn't react at all, being tossed around and losing health rapidly.
Zhou Hanyan was knocked down again, but the enemy's attention was on Su Huaiming, and he miraculously managed to slip away and escape from the battle.
He took a breath and looked at Su Huaiming, who was surrounded in the enemy camp and had only a sliver of blood left.
There were three people left on the opposing team, all with very low health, but compared to Su Huaiming, they had significantly more health.
If either of them lands a hit, Su Huaiming will fall.
Zhou Hanyan couldn't help but follow Su Huaiming's gaze, forgetting that he was a hater. He was very worried about Su Huaiming's situation and wished he could rush in to help him, but he clearly realized that he was of no use at all.
Seeing that Su Huaiming was about to die, Zhou Hanyan gritted his teeth and hesitated between "escaping" and "dying together". Just then, Su Huaiming triggered his passive ability and passed through the gap between the three like a gust of wind. With only a sliver of blood on his body, he miraculously dodged all the attacks!
Su Huaiming was about to die, but he didn't abandon Zhou Hanyan. Instead, he deliberately took a detour, wasting precious time, to get to Zhou Hanyan's side.
At this moment, silence speaks louder than words. Zhou Hanyan sensed Su Huaiming's meaning from the game character and immediately used his ultimate skill on Su Huaiming.
The game character was fleeing very quickly, but the remaining three people were still close behind, their skills reloaded, and they kept attacking Su Huaiming, getting closer and closer.
Zhou Hanyan's heart was in his throat. He stared intently at the location of the tower, wishing he could buy a cheat code so they could escape inside as quickly as possible!
Su Huaiming's passive ability disappeared, and his speed slowed down, but he was only one step away from entering the tower.
Zhou Hanyan's grip tightened, as if he wanted to shatter the screen. With him holding his breath, Su Huaiming carried him to the foot of the tower.
Zhou Hanyan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had finally escaped, when he was caught off guard to see Su Huaiming heroically turn around and rush back.
!!!!!!
Zhou Hanyan was terrified and completely panicked, clicking on any light that appeared, knowing that his attacks were limited, but still wanting to help Su Huaiming.
The three people on the other side were also stunned. They didn't expect Su Huaiming to make such an extreme move. They wanted to fight back, but Su Huaiming didn't give them the chance.
In just two seconds, they all fell at Su Huaiming's feet.
The game's sound effects couldn't keep up with the speed of the controls; the sounds overlapped. After the last person fell, a line of blood-red text appeared at the top of the screen:
Penta Kill!
The enemy hero aimed their skill at Zhou Hanyan before dying, but Zhou Hanyan panicked and moved haphazardly, giving way to Su Huaiming's hero, who was unfortunately caught in the crossfire and had no choice but to fall.
His figure exuded a sense of tragic grandeur.
Zhou Hanyan was taken aback by this turn of events. He stared blankly at the screen, standing amidst the corpses of the five opponents, his skin glistening with blood.
He was supposed to be the one who died, but he was saved... He turned the tables and became the final victor!
He stared in shock, his pupils trembling slightly, his heart pounding uncontrollably, and his blood seemed to be boiling.
He was captivated by the charm of games from his very first experience playing them.
Sun Siyuan's reaction was even more exaggerated; he completely exploded, almost throwing his phone away and jumping on Su Huaiming.
"Su Huaiming, you're amazing! That was so impressive it gave me goosebumps!"
Ji Mingzhe originally wanted to provide support, but he arrived too late. He excitedly spun around three times on the spot, and suddenly wanted to ask how to play this hero, and also wanted to show off his skills.
The viewers in the live stream initially thought they were just killing time, but they were all stunned by what they saw.
Wow, that's amazing! This is the first time I've ever seen someone blush so much while playing a game!
[Awesome! Su Huaiming is definitely the king of the jungle!]
[I'm playing this hero, and I'm even wearing the badge, but I can't pull off this kind of play.]
[As expected, players of this hero either show off incredible skills or are completely useless.]
[Su Huaiming left a message: I want to play games with the Wild King brother, lol emoji]
[That rescue was so cool! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to contain my excitement! lol]
[Add one, the hero saving the damsel in distress is timeless]
Zhou Hanyan appeared calm, but his feelings were very complicated. He pressed the return-to-base button, but his gaze remained fixed on the game character lying on the ground, and his racing heartbeat did not return to normal.
Although I knew the game character had little to do with Su Huaiming, I still felt a real thrill, as if Su Huaiming had descended from the sky and saved me from dire straits, like seeing a ray of light in the darkness.
Thinking of the heroic figure's dashing demeanor just now, Zhou Hanyan couldn't help but look at Su Huaiming.
Su Huaiming was curled up on the sofa without any regard for his image, his soft hair was rubbed into a mess, and he had a lollipop in his mouth. His cheeks were round and chubby, and Zhou Hanyan could almost smell the strawberry milk scent on him.
They are nothing like "heroes" and have no awareness of "beauty" whatsoever.
The reality was so different from what he had imagined that Zhou Hanyan's lips twitched twice. He turned his gaze away expressionlessly, squinted at the screen, and launched an attack in the spring water, making the screen rattle loudly.
What just happened must have been Su Huaiming's scheme!
Su Huaiming regretted deleting him and wanted to make amends, so he saved his life in the game in an attempt to salvage his image.
