Su Huaiming also thought Fu Xiaoxiao did a good job. Looking at his fluffy head, he couldn't help but look up and pat it a couple of times.

Fu Xiaoxiao, looking like a little calf, nudged Su Huaiming's hand with his head and said with displeasure, "You haven't washed your hands yet, don't touch my hair!"

Su Huaiming raised an eyebrow. "Such a young child, yet so particular."

"It's because you're unhygienic..." After saying that, Fu Xiaoxiao recalled the scene of Su Huaiming's tantrum, subconsciously shrank her shoulders, and her attitude reversed 180 degrees, saying in a kind tone, "It's only a little bit."

Fu Xiaoxiao looked so endearing. Su Huaiming was used to his bad temper, and it was rare to see Fu Xiaoxiao so well-behaved. He couldn't help but want to tease him, so he ruffled Fu Xiaoxiao's hair and deliberately styled it into a topknot.

Fu Xiaoxiao puffed up her cheeks in anger, glanced helplessly at her childish stepfather, sighed deeply, and surprisingly refrained from throwing a tantrum before continuing to eat.

Su Huaiming finally understood the joy of teasing children. Seeing Fu Xiaoxiao still eating, he childishly touched his chubby cheeks and said, "Why are you eating like a hamster?"

When her stepfather called him a hamster, Fu Xiaoxiao frowned. Before she could even swallow her food, she mumbled, "You're the hamster!"

Su Huaiming was just teasing Fu Xiaoxiao, since he didn't get angry when he heard her words, but instead messed up her hair again.

Fu Xiaoxiao found her stepfather extremely annoying. She held back for a moment, then pouted and asked, "Don't you have anything to do?"

Su Huaiming showed no remorse and nodded straightforwardly. "Yes, you actually figured it out, you're so smart!"

Fu Xiaoxiao: "..." He had reason to suspect his stepfather was being sarcastic, and he even had evidence!

Seeing that Fu Xiaoxiao was about to explode, Su Huaiming chuckled, finally regaining a bit of his conscience and stopping teasing Fu Xiaoxiao, letting him eat in peace.

After this day, Fu Xiaoxiao clearly understood how childish her stepfather was. She frowned, looked disgusted, and sighed heavily, acting like a little adult. This unexpected cuteness made the viewers in the live stream scream with delight.

After finishing her meal, Fu Xiaoxiao obediently went to wash her face.

Having expended too much energy during the day, Fu Xiaoxiao fell asleep without Su Huaiming needing to coax her.

It was still too early for adults. Su Huaiming was just about to start a game when he received WeChat from Zhou Hanyan.

[Cute Bunny: Idol, are you asleep?]

[Cute Bunny: Idol, I have a favor to ask]

[Cute Bunny: Can you play a game with me? (fingers emoji)]

[Cute Bunny: Idol, you won't think I'm bad at this, will you?! (crying emoji)]

Zhou Hanyan messages incredibly quickly, giving Su Huaiming no time to reply.

Su Huaiming felt a little guilty thinking about how he had deleted Zhou Hanyan without saying goodbye, and how Zhou Hanyan had called him his idol. He also wanted to play games, so he could play with Zhou Hanyan.

Su Huaiming originally wanted to reply with "okay," but looking at Zhou Hanyan's profile picture, he specifically chose a bunny emoji.

[It's Su Huaiming, not Huaimin, and I haven't slept yet: Rabbit Ouke. jpg]

Zhou Hanyan looked at the chubby little rabbit on the screen, which kept shaking its body and making heart shapes with its hands towards him, and snorted disdainfully.

Su Huaiming, at his advanced age, is still acting cute to win him over; he's shameless!

Zhou Hanyan completely unaware and had no idea that it was he who had changed his nickname to Cute Bunny and deliberately acted cute on WeChat.

Thinking of the earnest hopes of everyone in the anti-fan group and the heavy responsibility he bore, Zhou Hanyu immediately abandoned his thoughts and replied to the message without wasting a second.

[Cute Bunny: Okay.]

[Cute Bunny: Idol, you're so good to me. This is another day I like you even more. heart emoji]

Su Huaiming shuddered at the cheesy sweet talk, completely baffled as to why Zhou Hanyu, who seemed so proper, was so girlish in private.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the two logged into the game together. Zhou Hanyan he didn't know how to play, but in order to drive Su Huaiming crazy, he unconsciously chose the marksman role and even picked the most difficult hero to operate.

Marksmen bear the heavy responsibility of dealing damage. If a marksman doesn't play well, the game can easily collapse. Su Huaiming's skills are very impressive. If the team gets crushed by the opponent because of him and loses the game in frustration, they will definitely be furious and irrationally criticize him.

When he posts the chat history, everyone will know that Su Huaiming is a rude and uncouth person in private!

Zhou Hanyan seemed to see Su Huaiming being scolded by everyone, and laughed triumphantly, feeling extremely pleased. He didn't notice at all that he was looking at a despicable person in the mirror.

The game started quickly.

As a novice, Zhou Hanyan was unfamiliar with the game mechanics and hero skills. In addition, the operation was too difficult. He had just walked to the bottom lane and hadn't even been alive for 20 seconds when he gave away a kill.

The assistant did his best, desperately trying to protect him, but they both died in the process.

Although the support didn't type anything, Zhou Hanyan could sense the support's speechlessness when he recalled his terrible play earlier.

Zhou Hanyan felt uneasy, but thinking of his purpose, he could only grit his teeth and continue to feed kills. However, he soon discovered that he didn't need to feed kills. Even if the enemy missed their skills or made a major operational mistake, they could easily kill him.

He died five times in a row, but the support never gave up on him. On the last occasion, in order to cover his retreat, the support took all the skills and sacrificed himself gloriously.

Zhou Hanyan was moved by the support's actions and momentarily forgot his original purpose. With a tragic feeling, he didn't want to waste the life the support had given him.

Unfortunately, he was too incompetent; he couldn't even run away and died instantly.

Zhou Hanyan had never done anything wrong since childhood, and he felt deeply guilty about his actions. He couldn't live with himself and planned to repay the help he had always given so diligently before carrying out his anti-fan campaign.

It's a pity that the support player stopped following him and instead went to live a life of luxury with Su Huaiming.

Feeling embarrassed, Zhou Hanyan secretly typed to Su Huaiming: [I played terribly, are you angry with me, idol? orz]

He had just returned to the game when he heard Su Huaiming's gentle and clear voice:

"It's alright. You're a beginner, so it's normal not to play well. I suggest you switch to an easier hero next time."

Zhou Hanyan then noticed that the game allowed voice chat. After hurriedly setting it up, he was able to speak to Su Huaiming.

"But I played terribly, I really felt bad for the support player. He's such a good person, he didn't even yell at me for playing like that."

Su Huaiming paused, remaining silent for a full five or six seconds, before continuing, "The support player actually had voice chat on the whole time, but you just didn't turn your microphone on..."

Zhou Hanyan: "????"

He paused for a moment, then turned on the microphone and heard a very deep male voice.

"This marksman is so bad he's practically throwing the game. I risked my life to protect him, and he ran into a wall while trying to escape! Damn it, I really want to suggest he find a job and stop playing games!"

The support hero was an adorable little sprite whose skill was healing. Zhou Hanyan had previously protected him diligently, so he subconsciously assumed the player was a girl. However, he was surprised to find that the other person was a burly man who could kill two of him with one punch.

Zhou Hanyan: "..."

He silently turned off his horn and crouched in the bottom lane, diligently clearing the wave, but his life was worth less than a minion, and his economy was a complete mess, making him utterly useless.

Knowing he was easy to bully, the opposing team initiated a team fight in the bottom lane, attempting to push straight to the crystal.

Zhou Hanyan fought desperately, but unfortunately, he died at lightning speed before he could even use his skill. The top laner and mage who came to support him also perished.

On the other side of the screen, Zhou Hanyan was stunned, filled with guilt, and almost driven mad by his conscience. He even wanted to kneel down and apologize to these players.

He thought the game was over, but Su Huaiming turned the tide. As the player with the highest economy, he secured a pentakill with the help of the tower, not only turning the tide but also winning the game with his support while the opponent was respawning.

Zhou Hanyan stared at the word "Victory" on the screen, completely dumbfounded.

This actually works! That's incredible!!

He originally wanted to drive Su Huaiming crazy, but unexpectedly, he didn't disturb Su Huaiming's emotions at all. Instead, he was tormented by his conscience and was even scolded by his teammates.

This is completely different from what he expected!

It feels like I've shot myself in the foot...

Zhou Hanyan paused, then pressed Su Huaiming, "Idol, was I playing too badly?"

Su Huaiming's voice was devoid of any emotional fluctuation, "Your operation is indeed problematic. I'll take you through two training matches against the machine; maybe you'll find some feel for it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hanyan frowned deeply and asked, "You're really not angry?"

"No."

That's the truth. Su Huaiming was playing the jungle role. Seeing that there was no point in saving Zhou Hanyan, he simply gave up on him. He only saw Zhou Hanyan a few times throughout the entire game, but Zhou Hanyan completely dominated the top and mid lanes.

Moreover, Zhou Hanyan could also act as bait. If Zhou Hanyan hadn't absorbed the opponent's skills in the final wave, he wouldn't have been able to easily get a pentakill.

After being comforted, Zhou Hanyan felt even heavier, and his ferocious face was reflected on the black screen.

Zhou Hanyan didn't want to admit his defeat, so he hypnotized himself a few times and continued to regroup, embarking on his anti-fan career.

Su Huaiming played two training games with Zhou Hanyan, and then started a game. Fearing a repeat of the same mistake, Su Huaiming kept giving Zhou Hanyan voice instructions without holding anything back.

Zhou Hanyan engrossed in the game, forgetting his original purpose. He adopted a learning attitude, carefully controlling his game character, and tried to avenge his previous defeat.

The game was thrilling with its wins and losses, and Zhou Hanyan was so engrossed in his game that he was completely oblivious to the passage of time.

After playing three rounds in a row, Zhou Hanyan heard Su Huaiming say that he was going to log off. Only then did he feel as if someone had suddenly knocked on his ear, and he immediately woke up.

Thinking about his actions all night, Zhou Hanyan wanted to bang his head against the wall—his goal was to infuriate Su Huaiming and get the dirt on him, not to learn how to play games!

Having no other option, he resorted to a temporary fix: harassing Su Huaiming on WeChat.

[Cute Bunny: Idol, can I play games with you again tomorrow?]

[Cute Bunny: I have two friends who are also beginners, and their skill level is slightly lower than mine. Can they play with me?]

[Cute Bunny: They're playing marksman and jungler respectively, can our idol give up his position to them? (fingers emoji)]

Zhou Hanyan looked at his phone screen, hummed smugly, and was quite confident.

He's gone this far, how could Su Huaiming not break down!

Su Huaiming didn't reply, which made Zhou Hanyan even more certain of his guess. He waited patiently, and even wanted to go to Su Huaiming's door and let him give him a good scolding.

A good ten minutes later, Su Huaiming sent a new message, a voice message:

Her voice was still clear and pure, with an unexpected softness, "Okay, you three, message me after you've made your appointments, and I'll play a couple of rounds with you."

Zhou Hanyan:???? You can tolerate this?!

Zhou Hanyan suddenly remembered that Su Huaiming had never lost his temper in the previous two episodes of the variety show.

The variety show was broadcast live, and the camera was always focused on the guests, making it difficult to hide their true selves. Su Huaiming also had a mischievous child with him, and they encountered all sorts of troubles every day. Under these circumstances, it was really not easy for him to maintain his emotional stability.

Although he was a hater of Su Huaiming, he couldn't help but admire him sincerely, with a touch of envy mixed in.

Before getting to know Su Huaiming closely, he had always thought Su Huaiming was a foolish, arrogant, and vain person. But now he felt that Su Huaiming was unfathomable and very resourceful. As Su Huaiming's hater, he had to work harder to expose Su Huaiming's true colors!

Zhou Hanyan was suddenly filled with a surge of pride, not wanting to lose to Su Huaiming, and tried hard to think of his next strategy. Just then, a message notification interrupted his thoughts.

Zhou Hanyan looked down and saw that it was a message sent to him by the group owner of the anti-fan group.

He only told the admin of the anti-fan group about his upcoming appearance on a variety show. The admin had high hopes for him and even asked him to report on the situation every day. However, the night before last, he was overwhelmed with stress and forgot about it.

Zhou Hanyan apologized to the administrator of the anti-fan group for being late.

[Group admin: It's okay, have you dug up any dirt on Su Huaiming?]
