"Q! Where's your Q?" A Shui's voice rang in Zhao Yu's ear.
"It's on cooldown! I already used it just now!" Zhao Yu replied.
"No, how are you so bad you look like a Master?" A Shui said helplessly.
"Huh? I was already a Master gatekeeper, wasn't I?" Zhao Yu paused, then answered with complete honesty.
Sincerity was always the ultimate move. That one line left A Shui speechless.
[PUAHAHAHAHA, I'm dying, he really is a Master.]
[How are you so bad you look like a Master? Turns out you actually are a Master. Never mind, then.]
[I feel like the streamer going live with Shuizi Ge is more entertaining than Shuizi Ge streaming alone.]
[There's a certain beauty to two noobs pecking at each other. How did a champion ADC become this washed too?]
"Room manager, mute the one calling me washed!" Seeing that Bullet Screen comment, A Shui's face showed a hint of displeasure.
[He bought a membership card...]
The room manager's Bullet Screen comment suddenly floated by.
"Oh, so he's a big spender with a membership card. Never mind, then. You're in the VIP flaming seat—flame all you want." A Shui scratched his head, thought it over, and decided to shift the pressure onto Zhao Yu.
"Man, you really are terrible!"
"So what if I'm terrible? Just tell me, are we going to win this game or not?" Zhao Yu calmly continued hitting the tower.
A Shui had no training scheduled today. After watching Zhao Yu's recorded stream, he'd suddenly felt the urge to duo queue with him again after a long time.
A Shui had also helped Zhao Yu a great deal with his first wave of viewers, so Zhao Yu didn't refuse him and readily agreed.
One played support while the other played ADC, and the two of them slaughtered their way through bot lane. Of course, A Shui was the one doing the slaughtering, while Zhao Yu was the one going "gaga" beside him.
"What the hell does winning have to do with you? You can even miss a Q!" A Shui was so annoyed by Zhao Yu's words that he laughed.
"It does. At the very least, without me, you wouldn't even be able to start the game." Zhao Yu said with a straight face.
"You really are a genius..." After a moment of silence, that was all A Shui could say.
"Thank you for the compliment, Shuizi Ge!" Zhao Yu said shamelessly.
Soon, with the final teamfight, the two of them secured another ranked victory, and A Shui finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Playing games with your ass is seriously exhausting."
In the game lobby, A Shui couldn't help complaining.
"Getting carried while playing with you is seriously comfortable." Zhao Yu sighed softly.
"Alright, alright, we're done. Let's take a break."
Knowing that no matter how much they argued, Zhao Yu's thick skin would not crack in the slightest, A Shui decisively chose to rest for a while.
"By the way, Shuizi Ge, didn't you ask me to teach you Japanese language last time? How did that turn out? Was it useful?" Zhao Yu asked casually.
He was a little tired too, so he might as well chat for a bit. At some point, Zhao Yu had started enjoying chatting in the stream more than playing games.
Compared to gaming, it required neither concentration nor brainpower. It really was a streaming style that suited him.
[Only a few games in, and you're already chatting again?]
[So a gaming streamer has turned into a chatting streamer now?]
"What do you know? Gaming is work; chatting is life." Zhao Yu retorted to the Bullet Screen comments in his stream.
"You've got the nerve to bring up the Japanese language you taught me!" At the thought of it, A Shui gritted his teeth.
"Do you know how much damage you caused me?"
Being assaulted in the middle of the night by that ear-piercing, eye-searing video had left A Shui seeing Beast Senior's face even in his dreams.
"Huh? No way?" Zhao Yu was a little surprised, but quickly caught on.
"You didn't... look up what that sentence meant, did you?"
"What do you think? Damn Tian Ye has been spreading everywhere these past few days that I'm gay, and now Xiao Hu keeps asking me to duo queue!" The resentment in A Shui's voice was practically breaking through the heavens.
"Puhahahahahaha, you actually said it? That's incredible!" Zhao Yu laughed so hard he nearly doubled over.
"Is only black tea okay?" was a classic line from some Japanese gay video, and it was often used as a meme on the little broken station.
That line was one of Beast Senior's classic quotes. It was precisely because the junior drank Beast Senior's sleeping black tea that he got fucked.
The reach of this meme was probably rivaled only by A Wei and Jie Ge.
But because Zhao Yu had said it in Japanese language, A Shui hadn't caught on.
Now it seemed that A Shui truly was an ADC with a 100% teamfight participation rate. He even dared to start a homo teamfight.
"If I can't find a partner in the future, you're definitely taking the blame!" A Shui said.
"You were the one who asked me to teach you lines with a stronger sense of pressure. Just tell me, wasn't that oppressive enough?" Zhao Yu said after he stopped laughing.
"..."
A Shui really had no way to refute that.
That thing was more than just strong. Meiko now covered his ass and ran whenever he saw him—it was practically an Absolute Territory.
[I'm dying! Homo's sense of oppression isn't strong enough?]
[A Shui's suggestion... isn't impossible...]
[Shuizi Ge really dared to say it. I acknowledge the value of a 100% teamfighting AD!]
The Bullet Screen was also amused by A Shui. They had thought there would be nothing much to watch before Yuuka arrived, but it seemed these two were comedy masters in their own right.
"Forget it. I can let it slide, but only if you finish singing that song you improvised in the stream earlier. Then I'll forgive you," A Shui said with a sigh.
A trace of surprise appeared in Zhao Yu's eyes. He knew A Shui was not actually angry. And by saying that, he was clearly giving him a chance to show off.
No wonder he was known for having a great personality. Not only was he approachable, but he also remembered to give the people around him a boost from time to time, even if that person had only played one game with him.
Great! No further words were needed!
Zhao Yu cleared his throat twice before speaking. "How did you know I'd pretty much finished writing it already?"
"Bullshit. You loved showing off so much when that Japanese girl was around before. Now that you've got a chance to flex, you think you wouldn't prepare in advance?" A Shui rolled his eyes.
"Then I'll sing it. I happened to finish the backing track during the day too." Zhao Yu smiled and pulled up the instrumental from a folder.
As an impassioned electronic beat started up, Zhao Yu began singing along with the rhythm. Before long, the song was over.
On the other end, A Shui swayed his big head like LPL's one and only designated grandpa—Le Ye. He raised both hands beside his ears, as if declaring that this was real music.
"Damn, brother. This song got my blood pumping. I want to go straight into a match and get a few more kills!"
"If you like it, I'll give you free authorization for this song. You can play it wherever you want from now on," Zhao Yu said casually.
"Really?" A Shui's eyes lit up.
If that was true, then A Shui would be the first person besides PDD to receive personal authorization for one of the author's songs. How awesome would it be to play it after winning a match?
A Shui, who loved to show off, quickly imagined the scene in his head. This was simply heaven-sent for a flex enthusiast like him.
"How could that be fake? We're friends, so why say so much?" Zhao Yu said sincerely.
To be honest, he believed that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring. A Shui had not only brought him attention, but he had also remembered to give him a boost during today's stream. Someone like that was worth befriending deeply.
"Good brother! Add me on WeChat later!" A Shui said excitedly.
"OK." Zhao Yu nodded.
Perfect. Later on, A Shui would be punished by the god of contracts, so Zhao Yu needed to find a way to warn him too.
Just then, Yuuka's voice call popped up.
"Strange, why is she so early today?" Zhao Yu was a little puzzled. Didn't she usually wait until she finished studying at night before looking for him?
