It's no wonder she's my wife-she's amazing!

[You're really laying it on thick!]

[You think you can take on UZI? What are you thinking?]

[The streamer's really gone overboard with the bragging.]

At that moment, the barrage of comments started flooding in again.

Chen Yi merely smiled and said, "Brother! Let me ask you something. The comments said that someone like us still wants to take on UZI. What do you think about that?"

"What do I think? I look at it with my eyes!"

"(⊙o⊙)..."

"What else? A Twitch that was weak in the early game got beaten into a 1/8 record. The results are right there for everyone to see. If they can't see them, are they blind?"

"Pfft!"

Even Chen Yi couldn't hold back after hearing that.

It's no wonder she's my wife.

She really knew how to talk. As soon as she made that statement, countless people at the scene shouted "666." Never mind whether they could beat him in the future—for now, with UZI's record like this...

How were they supposed to explain it?

UZI's fans still wanted to fire back, but they found themselves completely unable to.

In the end, they could only retreat.

Watching the livestream's viewer count gradually fall, he understood what was happening. He immediately stretched and said, "All right! I should go to sleep too."

At those words, many people nodded.

Chen Yi usually streamed until two in the morning at most, but today it was already four.

It was time to sleep!

However, just as they were preparing to type their goodbyes, Chen Yi's voice slowly drifted through the livestream. "I wonder if that online-call little sister of mine is asleep. I might as well go chat with her."

[Damn!]

[Damn!]

[Damn!]

At that moment, the entire audience burst into colorful curses!

At first, some people had felt that Chen Yi had worked hard, but now they understood.

Worked hard?

Worked hard my ass!

Chen Yi didn't care about any of that. He simply closed the livestream and checked his earnings. After adding everything together, it came to only around a hundred yuan.

Still, it wasn't too bad!

The house belonged to his grandfather. Since it was in an old residential complex, there were no property fees.

Without rent or a mortgage weighing on him, he could get around with a small electric scooter. As long as he wore his helmet, he wouldn't be fined. That would be fine if he were alone.

But he had a family to support!

It seemed he needed to speed up his professional plans a little. He had already added the contact information, and he had done so under the identity of a professional manager, so there shouldn't be any problems.

What was a professional manager?

It was actually a special occupation. To put it simply... many clubs didn't have the energy to keep an eye on the National Server Ranking, so they would offer rewards.

If you recommended a player and they passed the tests, you would be paid according to their level.

Anywhere from several thousand to tens of thousands!

That was how Hu Niu had introduced UZI to the team back then.

Chen Yi was doing the same thing now. In his previous life, he had come into contact with this industry by chance. He felt that this kind of work was somewhat like pimping, except this time, he wasn't pimping someone else.

He was pimping himself!

After checking the time, Chen Yi prepared to wash up and sleep. But suddenly... his stomach let out a protesting rumble, and he seemed to understand what was going on.

He was hungry!

He went to the kitchen to make something.

Some simple plain noodles!

He boiled a handful of noodles, took out two small bowls, dissolved some lard with noodle broth, poured in a little soy sauce, added chopped scallions and dried shrimp, then finished it with a small spoonful of MSG and sesame oil.

It tasted pretty good!

After preparing everything, Chen Yi cleared his throat and said, "Stop peeking through the crack in the door. I've already seen you!"

"!!!"

Apparently!

The pair of eyes at the crack in the door was startled.

How did he know?

In the end, Su Nuan slowly walked out, her face filled with caution. She had already changed into pink pajamas.

She really did look nice.

Combined with her youthful cheeks, she looked especially adorable.

However, when he saw her upper body, Chen Yi helplessly sighed.

How should he put it?

Fine!

It seemed he would have to earn more money for baby formula in this life.

But when he noticed that her gaze seemed a little strange, Chen Yi grew puzzled. "What are you doing? You look like a mouse that's seen a cat."

"You... you won't do anything to me, will you? I'm warning you, I have pepper spray."

"????"

What the heck?

But Chen Yi soon thought of something. It was probably the remark he had made after ending the stream that had caused her to imagine things. Looking at Su Nuan's expression, Chen Yi felt like laughing.

Well, well!

So you could be afraid too?

But it made sense. The two of them had known each other online for a long time, but they had spent less than twelve hours together in person. Maintaining some caution was perfectly normal.

He immediately cleared his throat and said, "Don't be so nervous. If I wanted to do something to you, would I have waited until now?"

"(⊙o⊙)..."

That did seem true!

After all, she had had plenty of chances since entering this house.

She immediately relaxed, realizing that she had been overthinking it. Especially when the steaming noodles were placed in front of her, Su Nuan became completely certain.

The Chen Yi before her was the same person as the Chen Yi she knew online.

No, no, no!

It should be said that... he was even better than the person she had known online. She immediately smiled and said, "Then... I won't stand on ceremony."

"All right!"

After taking one bite, Su Nuan's eyes lit up.

Was it delicious?

Actually, it was only average. But the important thing wasn't the flavor. Su Nuan happened to be hungry, and at that very moment, the Strategy Progress shot straight up to thirty percent.

Perhaps it was the effect of the noodles, or perhaps Su Nuan had finally lowered her guard completely.

After finishing her meal!

Su Nuan contentedly let out a burp, and Chen Yi considerately handed her a tissue. "Wipe your mouth!"

"Thank you!"

Su Nuan was extremely satisfied at that moment.

After coming here, she had not only gotten strawberries and AD Calcium Milk, but also a late-night meal. At that moment, Su Nuan even found herself developing the urge not to leave.

The next second!

Su Nuan rejected the thought.

Perhaps this lifestyle was nice, but she couldn't keep troubling someone else. So she made up her mind: tomorrow, she would rent a place, and after joining a club, she would move into the dormitory.

That way, she could save a large sum of money.

Thinking of this, Su Nuan nodded.

But just as she was about to speak, she heard Chen Yi say, "Think about it... If you don't trust me, why did you open the door to look? Shouldn't you have kept the door tightly shut to stop anyone from entering?"

"Huh? This..."

At those words, Su Nuan's face reddened slightly.

Then she timidly said, "I was hungry! After smelling the food, I opened the door to take a look. Besides, you said yourself that you weren't some dangerous person. It shouldn't matter if I looked..."

Chen Yi was rather satisfied with that answer.

As for the Strategy Progress!

It definitely had to begin with lowering her guard. They had reached this point in a single day, which already counted as an unexpected gain. There was plenty of time afterward anyway.

They could take it slowly!

It had to be said that on many teams, the support and ADC slept together.

He wondered whether he could enjoy that treatment too.

Ahem, ahem, ahem!

That probably wouldn't work for now. They could talk about it later.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi nodded slightly. After eating his fill, Su Nuan also hurried to clear away the bowls and chopsticks. "Thank you for your hospitality, but it might be inconvenient for me to keep staying here. Tomorrow... tomorrow I'll go rent a place."

"(⊙o⊙)..."

Hearing this, Chen Yi fell into deep thought.

Then he spoke softly. "Do you know how much it costs to rent a place?"

"Two or three thousand should be enough, right?"

"Good! Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. I'll take you to look tomorrow. It's getting late, so I'm going to sleep too... Good night!"

"Good night!"

Su Nuan replied, but when she thought about Chen Yi's last sentence, she felt that something was off. In the end, she simply stopped thinking about it.

She hurried to sleep.

She was exhausted.
