How young people distance themselves!

At the Su Family home, Su Yu was called into the study by his father as soon as he returned.

Mr. Su looked at the adopted son he had raised from childhood to be an elite and sighed. It would certainly be a lie to say he felt no affection for him.

"I've already brought your biological parents over. Go visit them when you have time over the next few days, and get a few reporters to cover it."

"Also, take these next few days to further strengthen your relationships with the Si Family and the Pei Family. There's no way those two families haven't heard anything about what's been happening with you lately."

"Yes, Father." From his father's very first sentence, Su Yu knew he still intended to protect him. Of course, Si Chen and Pei Ming had played a part in that too.

"Don't let your guard down. I watched the livestream of your first episode. Shen Ting is far too much of a wild card. You'd better get him to stop participating in the next recording." Mr. Su rubbed his temples.

"All right." With that, Su Yu left the study.

Su Yu returned to his room, took out his phone, tapped Shen Ting's profile picture, and sent him a message.

At that moment, Shen Ting was playing a game in his luxurious gaming room. He was happily bobbing his head as he watched the screen when the phone beside him suddenly lit up.

Shen Ting casually reached over and picked it up.

Shameless Bastard had sent a message.

Shen Ting fell silent as he looked at the name on the screen. Shameless Bastard? Who was that?

With his headset on, Shen Ting sank into thought, digging through his memories until he finally found this resentment-filled memory in some obscure corner.

Shameless Bastard was the name the original owner had given Su Yu in his contacts. As for why? Just as the name suggested, he thought Su Yu was a shameless bastard.

Shen Ting opened his phone.

Shameless Bastard: Shen Ting, can you come out and meet me? I have something very important to tell you.

Shen Ting tilted his head in confusion and began considering what he could possibly have to discuss with him. After two seconds, he decided there was nothing and went straight for the full blocking treatment.

After blocking him, Shen Ting opened his own account and made a short post.

Shen Ting v: Tried out a young person's way of distancing themselves today [slumped]

In an instant, a crowd of night owls online flooded in.

[Shen Ting finally posted something. It's been two weeks since his last post.]

[Aaah, I'm here, I'm here!]

[A young person's way of distancing themselves? Who did Shen Ting cut ties with?]

[It's not Yan Yi, is it? No, I can't accept that.]

[Someone must've finally had enough of Shen Ting and seen his true colors. Serves him right!]

Meanwhile, Shen Ting clicked the matchmaking button on his computer. He was just about to put his phone away when he spotted a comment saying it served him right.

Shen Ting narrowed his eyes. Since everyone's wondering, hasn't a perfect example just delivered itself to my door?

Shen Ting found the comment and replied directly beneath it.

Shen Ting v: I don't know whether it serves me right, but you sure don't deserve to live. Bye-bye! Watch me give you the full send-off package.

The other netizens burst out laughing when they saw his reply.

[I know! I know! It's the full blocking treatment!]

[Now we all know. That really is how young people distance themselves.]

[I do this too. When I don't want to deal with someone but feel too awkward to tell them to their face, all I can do is cut off contact.]

[Am I the only one curious who it was? Could it be Su Yu? (covers mouth and snickers)]

[You're not alone, person above. Tagging Su Yu.]

At the Su Family home, Su Yu had just finished a long phone call with Si Chen, during which he had indirectly mentioned that he hoped Shen Ting wouldn't continue participating in the next episode.

Su Yu had thought Si Chen might disagree, but when he brought it up, Si Chen actually agreed without a second thought and even said to leave the discussion to him.

Su Yu felt both relieved and a little worried. He was relieved because Shen Ting might not participate in the next recording, and worried because he kept feeling that Si Chen seemed to care a little about Shen Ting.

With that on his mind, Su Yu opened his phone and discovered that Shen Ting hadn't replied.

Su Yu frowned, typed another message, and hit send, but this time, a bright red exclamation mark appeared after his message.

Message failed to send!!!

Su Yu stared at his phone in disbelief. Just then, the red notification dot on an app kept flashing.

With a dark expression, Su Yu opened the app and discovered a crowd of people tagging him.

Su Yu tapped the link in the tags, and his expression darkened further. Shen Ting really had blocked him. As if blocking him weren't enough, he had even announced it himself.

Seething with anger, Su Yu couldn't help biting his fingertip. He didn't even notice when he drew blood. Shen Ting, Shen Ting, Shen Ting again. Was he my nemesis?

Shen Ting knew nothing of Su Yu's fury. He put his phone down just as the game started on his computer.

Playing support, Shen Ting roamed leisurely all over the place. With his escape speed, the entire map was his backyard.

There was a couple on the team Shen Ting had been matched with.

Only loveᡣXuanxuan: Wifey, I'm here! I'll protect you, mwah, mwah, mwah.

Xuanxuan is the cutest: Save me, hubby! Here's a loving kiss, mwah! Love you~

Only loveᡣXuanxuan: With a sweet kiss from my darling wife, I feel full of power now!

Shen Ting caught sight of the chat out of the corner of his eye. A chill ran through him, and he couldn't help shuddering. It's just a game. Do you have to be this sappy?

During a team fight, Shen Ting successfully escaped unscathed, becoming its sole lucky survivor.

Shen Ting let out a long breath of relief, but before he could smile again, the two casualties voiced their displeasure.

Xuanxuan is the cutest: You're a support! Why did you run?! If you hadn't run, we both could've survived. What a trash support.

Only loveᡣXuanxuan: Don't be mad, wifey. Neither of us will help him later. Let him get a good taste of being killed.

What the hell! Shen Ting was speechless. You both could've lived if I'd stayed? Who are you kidding? You just wanted me to die with you, didn't you?

There were idiots every year, but this year had an especially large crop.

Shen Ting hammered away at his keyboard.

I'm nuts, don't mess with me: Hurry up and find a couple of steel plates to prop up those glued-shut eyelids of yours. If your eyesight's bad, play fewer games.

I'm nuts, don't mess with me: Don't pass off your stupidity as ignorance.

Xuanxuan is the cutest: Do you know what we do?

I'm nuts, don't mess with me: Why should I care what you do? I did nothing wrong, so if you criticize me, you're the one in the wrong.

Only loveᡣXuanxuan: We're livestreaming.

I'm nuts, don't mess with me: Does livestreaming give you special privileges? You're not the only ones who can livestream.

Shen Ting acted immediately, starting a livestream on V.

In an instant, a crowd of curious netizens poured in.

[Whoa, what an awesome gaming setup.]

[I never expected Shen Ting to livestream himself gaming.]

[He doesn't just seem to be gaming. He's fighting too.]

[Oho, those people really picked the wrong person to mess with when they provoked Shen Ting.]

[Shen Ting: It's just livestreaming. You think you're the only ones who can do it? My stream's bigger and has more viewers than yours.]

At the Yan Family home, Yan Yi was leaning against Husky Knight, leisurely playing his game, when his teammates suddenly started arguing.

Yan Yi ignored the three arguing players and continued along his route.

Just as Yan Yi took someone out, a notification suddenly popped up on his phone: someone on his special follow list had started livestreaming.

Multitasking, Yan Yi picked up his other phone and tapped Shen Ting's profile picture. The moment he entered the stream and saw its screen, he froze. So the one battling the couple in the game was Shen Ting? What a coincidence.
