[Hahahaha]
[Believing in Buddhism and not killing is mocking boss Jing for having no heads?]
[So cool, our Kuang zai is so cool.]
[It's another day boss Jing is disliked.]
Amidst the lively bullet comments, Chen Jing started the game.
The match was successful quickly. After selecting heroes and entering the loading screen, the IDs of the five opponents appeared in everyone's sight.
Lin Jing had intended to leave Chen Jing's live stream, but when she saw the ID of the player who picked Li Bai among Chen Jing's opponents, she immediately stopped her action to leave.
miracle.
[miracle? Kuang zai?]
[No way? What a coincidence, matched with Kuang zai?]
[It must be fake, right?]
[I just checked on Wangzhe Assistant, it's not fake, it's real.]
Amidst the swirling bullet comments, the game began.
Chen Jing hadn't looked at his phone. When he heard "Enemy forces have entered the battlefield in five seconds," he picked up his phone. As he scanned the opponent's lineup, he caught sight of Sheng Kuang's ID and paused.
[All] CeC·scene: ?
At the same time, a line of text popped up on the game screen.
[All] miracle: We've got this.
[Hahahaha, what the heck is 'we've got this'?]
[Kuang zai, can you stop being so arrogant? Although I like it.]
[If we can't be family, we'll be enemies.]
[No, Kuang zai is Li Bai, and Boss Jing is Wang Zhaojun. Their skins are Feng Qiu Huang and Phoenix Yu Fei.]
[Ahhhhhh, Mom, I'm shipping this.]
Lin Jing watched the bustling bullet comments and felt a bit caught up.
She watched the live stream for a while, then couldn't resist the urge to pick up the iPad next to her.
When Lin Jing starts drawing, she gets very focused. By the time she stopped, it was already 12:10 AM.
It was quite late. Lin Jing saved the drawing, which was about one-third complete, put down her pen, and went to the restroom. After coming out, she felt a bit thirsty, so she slowly walked towards the door.
After a few steps, she remembered the cardboard sign and turned back.
After hanging the cardboard sign back on the wall opposite the elevator on the third floor, Lin Jing went downstairs.
The living room on the first floor was dark, with only a light on in the dining room.
Lin Jing thought someone had forgotten to turn it off. Holding her phone, she walked over. Before she even reached the dining room entrance, she heard voices inside.
"How did the talk go at GDT this afternoon?" asked Lan Bowen.
"It's done," Sheng Kuang replied immediately.
Hearing his voice, Lin Jing instinctively stopped.
Lan Bowen said incredulously, "Zhang Wei and Yang Yu agreed to your contract termination?"
Sheng Kuang: "Mm."
Lan Bowen: "That doesn't sound like them."
Sheng Kuang chuckled, "What's not to like? Last year, they definitely wouldn't have terminated it with me, but this year is different. My contract is almost up, and by terminating it now, they can still get some money."
He paused, and Sheng Kuang added with a hint of mockery, "Besides, they didn't take less money from me."
Lan Bowen: "But I still don't feel at ease. I always feel like they're not the type to let you go so peacefully."
Sheng Kuang's phone buzzed. He took it out and glanced at it.
Lan Bowen: "Who?"
Sheng Kuang didn't speak. He lowered his eyes to look at his phone for a moment, then chuckled, "You were right after all."
Lan Bowen: "What?"
Sheng Kuang: "Trending search."
Hearing these two words, Lan Bowen immediately took out his phone. Less than half a minute later, he exploded, "Fuck, I knew GDT wouldn't cause trouble. They didn't cause trouble before because they wanted you to cough up more money, right? This trending search and these paid comments are too obvious. What do you mean Yang Sinian lost consecutive games to you that day because he celebrated winning the match the day before, drank too much, and played games with you the next day still hungover, so his state was bad? What do you mean you're a team bully, relying on being an veteran, suppressing newcomers at GDT? What the hell is all this?" Su Dan Novel Network
Amidst Lan Bowen's agitated curses, Sheng Kuang's phone buzzed again.
CeC·scene: Kuang zai, is the young lady okay?
Sheng Kuang: ?
CeC·scene: The one who's going to live with us next, the young lady who looks like a fairy, is she okay today?
Sheng Kuang finally understood who Chen Jing was talking about. He thought of the cardboard sign that had been removed from the third floor and slowly clicked his tongue.
What young lady who looks like a fairy? She's clearly an ungrateful, senseless fool.
Sheng Kuang didn't reply to Chen Jing. He turned off his phone and put it back in his pocket.
Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to glance outside and saw the ungrateful, senseless fool standing not far away.
He froze for a moment and turned his head to look.
When Lin Jing met Sheng Kuang's gaze, she opened her mouth.
Even though she hadn't intentionally eavesdropped, and even though what they were saying didn't seem like a secret, she still felt inexplicably guilty under Sheng Kuang's gaze. She pointed to the dining room, "Um, I came to get some water."
Sheng Kuang paused for two seconds and lazily gestured with his chin towards the refrigerator next to him: "Get it yourself."
Lin Jing didn't move.
Sheng Kuang stood up straight, opened the refrigerator, and as he took out the water, the person standing at the dining room entrance turned and ran away like a startled rabbit.
Sheng Kuang chuckled lightly. He intended to put the water back in the refrigerator, but thinking it was a bit cool, he casually placed it on the table beside him.
Lan Bowen, unaffected by Lin Jing's appearance, continued to curse, and then ended the conversation with Sheng Kuang.
After talking for so long, he felt thirsty and subconsciously reached for the bottle of water Sheng Kuang had taken out.
Before his hand even touched it, Sheng Kuang snatched it away, shook the bottle at him, lazily said "Goodnight," and left.
Upon reaching the third floor, the elevator opened, and Sheng Kuang walked out.
He walked two steps towards Lin Jing's bedroom door, then backed up, and turned to look at the wall.
The cardboard sign had been hung back up, but it was somewhat different from before.
Besides the eight characters "Restricted Area, Men Forbidden," the rest of the space had been covered with watercolors. The young lady's color scheme was very bold, creating a striking visual impact. Clusters of flowers bloomed in a circle around the eight characters.
At first glance, the cardboard sign didn't look like a warning sign, but more like a work of art.
Sheng Kuang looked at it for a long time, then lowered his head, licked his lips, and smiled. He walked to Lin Jing's door, twisted the cap of the mineral water bottle open and then screwed it back on, placed it on the ground, tapped on the door twice, and left before the young lady inside could open it.
