"..."
Lin Jing grabbed a bottle of sparkling water from the table, wanting to calm her nerves. When she heard what Sheng Kuang said right after, she was so startled that her hand trembled, and the bottle fell to the ground.
It made a clattering sound.
Hearing the commotion, Lan Tingting poked her head out from the bed. She looked at the sparkling water slowly rolling on the floor and squinted at Lin Jing strangely, "What are you doing? If you don't want to drink it, you can give it to me. Why throw it on the ground?"
"..."
I'll throw your sister!
Lin Jing, with a blank expression, pretended Lan Tingting wasn't talking to her. She pointed and locked onto a Yao, then placed her phone on the table. Like a thief, she stealthily reached out to grab the sparkling water on the floor.
Seeing that Lin Jing wasn't responding, Lan Tingting raised her voice, "Xiao Jing-chan, I'm talking to you."
Lin Jing closed her eyes, wishing she could stuff a rag into Lan Tingting's mouth.
Initially, when Lan Tingting didn't call her name, she could still maintain some composure. But now, she was completely exposed.
Lin Jing held the sparkling water and sat up straight. She glanced at the screen and saw that Sheng Kuang in her earphones was quiet. She thought he hadn't heard her conversation with Lan Tingting and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She then raised her finger and made a shushing gesture to Lan Tingting on the bed.
Lan Tingting thought she was reminding her that other roommates were resting and not to be too loud, so as not to disturb them. "They woke up from their nap long ago. Now one is watching a drama, and another is watching a video, laughing their heads off."
Lin Jing nodded, indicating she understood.
"Bao, what are you doing?" Lan Tingting asked.
Hearing the word "Bao," Lin Jing's ears uncontrollably turned red.
Lan Tingting blinked, "Why are you blushing?"
Lin Jing reflexively reached to turn off the voice call, but the game had just entered the caching interface.
She stared at the ten hero interfaces on her phone screen with a look of despair, choosing to play dead.
"Oh my god, Lin Jing, you're really blushing." Lan Tingting's tone was quite astonished.
A very faint laugh came from Sheng Kuang in her earphones.
It was so brief that it was almost imperceptible.
But Lin Jing heard it. Her expression became even more listless, and her ears felt hotter. The heat spread down her neck and into her collar.
In this game, Sheng Kuang was the jungler, Lin Jing was the support, and the marksman was a random player.
The marksman was solo-killed by the opposing marksman at the start of the game, and then ganked by the opposing jungler once more. After that, this marksman began to frantically send "Request Reinforcements."
In high-level games, marksmen still needed to be protected, especially when Sheng Kuang wasn't particularly strong right now.
Before Lin Jing moved, she asked, "Should I go with the marksman?"
Sheng Kuang replied, "Go ahead."
Only then did Lin Jing jump off Sheng Kuang and head to the development lane.
In fact, this marksman was really quite bad. Lin Jing saw the opposing mid-laner coming down on the minimap and frantically signaled him to retreat. However, he not only didn't retreat but even went under the tower to kill the opposing marksman.
Lin Jing's interference skill wasn't ready yet. Their Marco Polo not only failed to kill the opposing marksman but was also killed by the arriving opposing jungler and mid-laner, demonstrating a perfect example of marksman-support synergy resulting in one death and one assist.
Lin Jing felt it wasn't her fault at all. She had already reminded him, yet the marksman still asked her in the game.
I Am Very Strong (Marco Polo): Interference?
Lin Jing replied that the skill was still on cooldown.
I Am Very Strong (Marco Polo): If it wasn't ready, why didn't you say so?
I Am Very Strong (Marco Polo): Can you even play support?
Xiao Jing Jing Jing Chan (Yao): ?
I Am Very Strong (Marco Polo): I'm talking to you.
I Am Very Strong (Marco Polo): Yao players are all just freeloaders.
Xiao Jing Jing Jing Chan (Yao): Blind? Didn't you see me signal retreat?
I Am Very Strong (Marco Polo): Who knows what your retreat signal means.
Xiao Jing Jing Jing Chan (Yao): Oh, then you're truly amazing.
After sending the message, Lin Jing, feeling annoyed, tapped the recall button once.
They both died at the same time and walked from the spring towards the development lane. On the way, Lin Jing tapped recall again.
Marco Polo didn't say anything further. Lin Jing jumped onto him, thinking the matter had passed.
But less than a minute later, she and Marco Polo died again.
I Am Very Strong (Marco Polo): You should have blocked Sun Ce's ultimate for me. You have a passive.
Xiao Jing Jing Jing Chan (Yao): Oh, then who blocked Di Renjie's ultimate for you?
I Am Very Strong (Marco Polo): You play poorly and still have so many excuses.
Xiao Jing Jing Jing Chan (Yao): Yes, I'm bad. I can't activate my passive every second, I can't deal massive damage, and I can't make solo kills when you're low on health in front of me.
The mocked Marco Polo was speechless.
After respawning, Lin Jing never went with him again. She directly went to find Sheng Kuang, leaving the 0-4 Marco Polo to fend for himself.
After a team fight, Lin Jing escaped with low health, and Sheng Kuang went to take the dragon.
Lin Jing took advantage of the time to recall to base from a bush. Unexpectedly, their Marco Polo, who had disappeared during the team fight, appeared beside her with Sun Bin's first skill from the opposing team. The explosion from the skill directly killed her.
Lin Jing was now very angry.
Being bad was one thing, but having so many strange moves felt like a serious illness.
While waiting to respawn, she opened the nine-grid and furiously pressed the keyboard.
"Come up," Sheng Kuang, who had been silent all along, suddenly said.
"Huh?" Lin Jing snapped back to attention and realized she had already respawned. Without thinking, she tapped her third skill and attached herself to Sheng Kuang.
Hearing Sheng Kuang's voice, she calmed down. Looking at the rather vulgar words she had typed out, she quietly deleted them.
Afterward, their Marco Polo began a frantic journey of death.
In the team fight, he was left with low health and, while fleeing back to base, passed by the dragon pit. Sheng Kuang grazed the dragon, and the dragon's counterattack killed him.
Sheng Kuang, with full health and Lin Jing attached, took Sun Bin's first skill from the opponent and landed next to the Marco Polo, who had a quarter of his health remaining, killing him.
Marco Polo followed behind Sheng Kuang. The opposing Di Renjie's ultimate with a yellow card came towards them. Sheng Kuang dodged it with his positioning, but the yellow card hit Marco Polo, who was instantly killed by Di Renjie. Su Dan Novel Network
Marco Polo's mentality collapsed. He simply stood in the spring and refused to come out.
I Am Very Strong (Marco Polo): Luna, what do you mean?
I Am Very Strong (Marco Polo): Avenge the support?
I Am Very Strong (Marco Polo): What's your relationship with this support?
Sheng Kuang ignored him, and Lin Jing didn't respond either. Their other two mid-laners and top-laner were busy pushing towers and didn't have the time to bother with him. He talked to himself for a long time, probably finding it pointless, and started to spam pings on Sheng Kuang.
After destroying the opponent's high ground and with the minions entering the crystal, Sheng Kuang suddenly stopped while destroying the crystal.
The next second, a message appeared on the game interface.
[All] yLs·miracle (Luna): I do nothing in the dark.
[All] yLs·miracle (Luna): Mark, you're about to be reported.
The opponent's crystal exploded, and upon returning to the settlement page, Lin Jing heard Sheng Kuang frantically clicking away.
She paused for a moment, "Are you really reporting him?"
Sheng Kuang grunted, "The report was successful. He can only play against bots to earn back his credit score now."
Lin Jing: "..."
Three seconds later, Lin Jing frantically tapped the screen and also reported Mark.
Sheng Kuang had a training match at six in the evening, so they stopped playing at 4:50.
Lin Jing said goodbye to Sheng Kuang. Just as she was about to exit the room, Sheng Kuang suddenly called out to her, "Little boss."
Lin Jing stopped her action of exiting the room, "Huh?"
Sheng Kuang was opening some kind of gift pack, and sound effects kept playing. "Do you have time on Saturday evening?"
