In the end, Shen Xiaoxiao ended up with a score of 2—15, and the word "defeat" appeared on the screen.
"Seeing me lose, aren’t you happy, aren’t you excited, do you find it funny?" Shen Xiaoxiao, for some reason, felt irritated seeing the smile on Fang Yi’s face.
Fang Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "No, you’re amazing, and you even got two kills!"
However, the more he said that, the more irritated Shen Xiaoxiao became, thinking that Fang Yi was mocking her.
"Then you try it!" In the end, Shen Xiaoxiao blurted out.
"Okay, let me give it a try." Fang Yi found it a bit interesting; he used to play games like Red Alert, CS, Aion, and World of Warcraft whenever he was free.
Shen Xiaoxiao moved aside and stared at Fang Yi, saying, "If you can get five kills, I’ll give you a kiss."
"And what if it’s ten?" Fang Yi countered.
"Ten? Humph, dream on. If you can kill ten people, I’ll kiss you twice." Shen Xiaoxiao said defiantly, not believing Fang Yi could achieve it since he had never played this game.
Fang Yi became intrigued and couldn’t help but ask, "And what if it’s twenty kills?"
Shen Xiaoxiao responded, "Wow, getting ambitious, huh! If you can do that, I’ll give you a kiss." She paused, then emphasized, "My first kiss."
At the same time, the game started.
Fang Yi chose a Samurai character wielding a sword, and Shen Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes, "Yasuo?"
Shen Xiaoxiao smirked, knowing playing Yasuo well required extremely fast hands and judgment, and in Bronze games, this hero was basically a trap.
At the beginning, as expected, Fang Yi blacked out, dying twice consecutively, the first death from fighting minions head-on, and the second from chasing a low-health enemy and getting killed by a defense tower.
Shen Xiaoxiao became even more expectant, remarking, "You’ve died twice in a row now."
Fang Yi just smiled, said nothing—he was just getting used to the skills. Meanwhile, other players started commenting.
"Nine out of ten Yasuos are pits, play safe in mid!"
"Do you even know how to play? Just go afk if you don’t!"
"F***, stealing my mid, go to hell!"
For that, Fang Yi just smiled, offering no retort.
Then, Fang Yi began his comeback!
As one enemy was killed, Shen Xiaoxiao was surprised, then quickly said, "Just luck."
As a second enemy fell, Shen Xiaoxiao again commented, "Nothing special, still just luck."
When the mid-lane opponent was killed a third and fourth time, the computer also broadcasted:
"Pink *** is on a rampage..."
"Pink *** is dominating..."
"Pink *** is ruling the game..."
"Pink *** is godlike..."
Yes, Pink *** was Shen Xiaoxiao’s ID, and Fang Yi watched as the screen filled with Pink *** quite speechlessly. By then, he had already killed ten people.
Fang Yi’s cheeks were suddenly kissed twice by Shen Xiaoxiao, causing him to jerk his mouse and accidentally lose control, leading to a blackout.
"Hmph, I, Shen Xiaoxiao, keep my word." After saying that, Shen Xiaoxiao turned her head away.
"Just ten more kills," Fang Yi said.
Shen Xiaoxiao was suddenly startled. Could this guy be pretending to be a noob to surprise her? She immediately asked, "Tell me the truth, have you ever played this game before?"
Fang Yi laughed. "Hand on heart, I really haven’t played it before."
He hasn’t played before? And he’s this good? Picking it up so quickly, he was a natural-born pro player!
Eventually, Fang Yi smoothly achieved his goal, scoring a total of twenty-one kills.
Fang Yi let go of the mouse, a faint smile on his lips as he looked at Shen Xiaoxiao.
"I... I get it now..." Shen Xiaoxiao’s pretty face turned as red as a ripe apple, fragrant and dewy like that of a young girl, looking so tempting.
Then, Shen Xiaoxiao stood up, and with her eyes closed and head lowered, she puckered up her cherry lips and leaned towards Fang Yi, who naturally wouldn’t refuse.
Just then, the door burst open, and Shen Binan appeared at the doorway, her face immediately turning cold.
"Sis, I... I..." Shen Xiaoxiao, sensing something was off, opened her eyes to see Shen Binan at the door with a cold expression and quickly started to explain.
Shen Binan said nothing, turned around, and left, and Fang Yi instantly felt a chilling killing intent.
"Uh... Shen Xiaoxiao, look, it’s not my fault, you kissed me, not the other way around," Fang Yi shamelessly said.
"You... don’t you feel shameless, blaming it on me?" Shen Xiaoxiao retorted.
Fang Yi smiled slightly, "Are you afraid of your sister?"
Shen Xiaoxiao immediately stood tall and declared confidently, "Afraid of my sister? You’re kidding! I’m afraid of nothing and no one!"
"That’s right," Fang Yi said. "We haven’t done anything, so what’s there to be afraid of?"
Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly realized and nodded. "Exactly, we haven’t even kissed yet, so what’s there to fear!"
But... had they really done nothing?
In the living room, a round table was filled with dishes, all home-cooked. As Fang Yi sat down, Luo Sumei said, "Xiao Fang, come sit. You must try my daughter’s cooking. Here, have a drumstick first."
Fang Yi looked at the drumstick Luo Auntie passed to him, feeling she was treating him rather like a child. At that moment, Shen Xiaoxiao shouted, "The drumstick is mine!"
Shen Xiaoxiao quickly snatched the drumstick from Fang Yi’s bowl, bit into it, and earned a raised eyebrow from Luo Sumei.
Shen Hongyang also emerged from the study and sat down at the table, while Shen Binan was still absent. After a while, Shen Binan came out with a bowl of soup and placed it on the table.
She still wore an apron, her blouse sleeves rolled up, her hair styled up high, exuding a competent and virtuous aura that made it hard to imagine her as the heiress-president of Longtu Group.
Once everyone was gathered, Luo Sumei urged everyone to start eating. Fang Yi didn’t hold back, picking whatever he fancied without any guest’s pretense. During this time, Fang Yi noticed two intense gazes fixed on him.
Without guessing, Fang Yi looked up and met Shen Binan’s sharp gaze.
What are you looking at? Fang Yi countered with his eyes.
What about it! Shen Binan’s cold smirk was the reply.
Keep looking, then! Fang Yi challenged with his eyes.
Let’s see about that! Shen Binan smirked coldly.
Their eye contact battle was so intense that they completely immersed themselves in it, both forgetting to eat as they coincidentally set down their chopsticks and stared each other down.
"Wow, it’s an eye contact battle!" Shen Xiaoxiao exclaimed, her eyes darting around, observing the two while continuously eating, a true foodie.
Shen Hongyang and Luo Sumei certainly noticed as well, exchanging glances before breaking into smiles.
Just then, a maid quickly ran in, whispered something into Shen Hongyang’s ear, and his smiling face froze instantly.
