"Lin Jing, I have to say, you're good at tea. Be honest, did you do it on purpose?"
"I really didn't mean to, my brain just didn't catch up for a moment."
Sheng Kuang, whose brain hadn't caught up since morning, hesitated for two seconds on the steps, then turned and went downstairs.
Pushing open the door to the training room, Chen Jing saw him empty-handed: "Where's the milk tea?"
Sheng Kuang: "...Forgot."
"Why didn't you forget yourself upstairs?" Chen Jing kicked Jiang Xin's toe: "Xin Ge, could you do me a favor and run upstairs?"
Jiang Xin stood up, "Sure thing."
Chen Jing looked at Sheng Kuang with gratitude, just about to say, "Brother, you're so kind today," when he saw Sheng Kuang's very unnatural expression: "What's wrong with you?"
Sheng Kuang raised his eyelids: "Huh?"
Chen Jing: "Why is your face red?"
Sheng Kuang froze for a second: "...It's a bit hot."
Chen Jing glanced at the central air conditioning, which maintained a constant temperature year-round: "Hot?"
Sheng Kuang hummed, grabbed the remote, and turned down the temperature in the training room.
Chen Jing watched the temperature on the central air conditioning control panel on the wall visibly drop from 22 degrees to 26 degrees, and couldn't help but say, "It seems you really are quite hot."
The group, having slept enough, couldn't play training matches and were too lazy to go out. Soon, they each opened their games.
Chen Jing, playing support, hated ranking up alone the most, so he went around asking who wanted to queue with him.
Jiang Zui, Li Xiaozhou, and He Wang were engrossed in the King's Canyon mode and refused him without hesitation. Only Qin Yu, who had recently switched to playing ADC, agreed, thinking he could get some synergy with Chen Jing.
Initially, the two of them really did work together, one ADC and one support. After two games, someone invited Chen Jing.
Although they could play with three people, Chen Jing preferred five-person queues.
Jiang Xin and Lan Bowen were studying game data, while the others were immersed in the King's Canyon.
Everyone in the training room had their phones in hand, except for Sheng Kuang, who hadn't even touched his phone. He leaned back in his gaming chair, a straw in his mouth, looking lazily idle.
More than ten hours ago, Chen Jing had sworn that anyone who played games with Sheng Kuang again would be an idiot. After much deliberation, he still reached out to Sheng Kuang: "Sheng Kuang, wanna play?"
Sheng Kuang raised his eyelids, about to mock Chen Jing with "idiot," when he seemed to remember something and asked, "How many spots?"
Chen Jing: "Two."
Sheng Kuang didn't say anything, lazily extending his finger to tap on his phone a few times.
A minute later, he looked up: "Alright, let's go."
Chen Jing created a room, invited Qin Yu, and the friend who had invited him to play.
Sheng Kuang came online, and Chen Jing invited him: "Still need one more?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the room was full.
Chen Jing looked at the fifth person entering the room and chuckled, turning on voice chat: "Lin Meimei."
Chen Jing clicked start, entering the hero selection screen. The person in the third slot, who called herself "Little Cabbage," also turned on voice chat: "Kuankuan, long time no see." Su Dan Novel Network
Sheng Kuang looked up at Chen Jing, "?"
Chen Jing saw his expression, "Ah, it's Sister Dan."
"Little Cabbage" laughed: "Did I change my name? Kuankuan doesn't recognize me?"
Chen Jing: "Probably."
Seeing that Lin Jing's mic was muted, Chen Jing started again: "Lin Meimei, Lin Meimei, turn on your mic."
Lin Jing found Chen Jing annoying and turned on her mic, but didn't speak.
Although her mic was muted earlier, her voice chat wasn't. She had heard everything Chen Jing and the others were saying. Even though Chen Jing had only said "Sister Dan," she already knew who it was.
Qin Dandan, one of the prominent commentators in the KPL, relied on her good looks and consistently ranked first in female popularity among commentators each year.
Qin Dandan, seeing Chen Jing repeatedly calling for Lin Jing, asked, "Who's in the fifth spot?"
Chen Jing: "A friend of ours."
Qin Dandan: "Ours? Who are 'ours'?"
Chen Jing didn't find Qin Dandan's question inappropriate and replied casually, "Ah, it's our entire YLS."
Qin Dandan: "Oh, oh, oh. It seems she knows you all very well, the whole team knows her."
After a while, Qin Dandan: "Who introduced her to you all?"
Chen Jing: "Kuai Zai, Kuai Zai's friend."
"So, it's Kuankuan's friend." She paused, "A girl?"
Chen Jing: "Yes."
Only Chen Jing and Qin Dandan were talking in voice chat.
It was evident that Qin Dandan played mages, and all her frequently used heroes were mages.
She was in the third slot, and they selected heroes later, so when it was her turn, she and Sheng Kuang selected heroes together.
Sheng Kuang casually picked Luna.
Qin Dandan first picked Diao Chan, and two seconds later, she picked Yao.
Lin Jing subconsciously exclaimed, "Ah?"
Chen Jing: "What's wrong?"
Before Lin Jing could speak, Qin Dandan said, "I haven't played Princess Yao in a while, so I'll play a round today."
