“……”
Lin Jing couldn't figure out whether to describe the situation before her as flattered or terrified.
But she couldn't resist the temptation. She had already told Sheng Kuang she'd be right there, so she couldn't get coy and find excuses now. Sudan Novel Network
Besides, Sheng Kuang's sexual orientation was the same as his gender. Perhaps in Sheng Kuang's eyes, the way he looked at her was the same as how she looked at Lan Tingting.
Lin Jing's mind, which had been wandering into wild fantasies, suddenly stopped. After a few seconds, she realized she had been overthinking.
The reason Sheng Kuang had called her to his room so casually was that he had no ulterior motives at all.
Not only had she forgotten this crucial piece of information, but for a moment, she had wondered if it would be too dangerous for a girl to go to a boy's room in the middle of the night.
Now that she thought about it, if there was any danger, Sheng Kuang seemed to be the more dangerous one.
Lin Jing awkwardly rubbed her face and walked out with her phone, feeling at ease.
Upon reaching the second floor, the elevator doors opened. Lin Jing immediately saw Sheng Kuang leaning against the opposite wall, waiting for her. He held a bottle of sparkling water in one hand and was listening to a voice message on his phone with the other.
"Brother, are you not done yet, brother?"
Recognizing the voice, Lin Jing knew it was Jing from the game, who always liked to leave a chat box open to make his presence known.
Sheng Kuang heard the movement, lifted his eyelids, glanced at Lin Jing emerging from the elevator, then tapped his fingers to reply "Soon." He straightened up and led Lin Jing towards his room.
This was the first time in the more than a month Lin Jing had been living here that she had been to the second-floor hallway, and also the first time she had entered Sheng Kuang's bedroom.
The overall layout of his bedroom was similar to the room she lived in upstairs, with a separate bathroom and walk-in closet. However, his room was a larger version of hers.
Where she had her vanity table, his room had been converted into a desk, and the chair had been replaced with a gaming chair.
He walked to the desk, placed the sparkling water on it, then tapped the gaming chair, gesturing for her to sit.
Lin Jing, who had been sneakily observing Sheng Kuang's bedroom, quickly withdrew her wandering gaze and obediently walked over, sitting on the gaming chair. It was then she noticed that his phone was projected onto the computer screen. Whatever he saw on his phone, she could see on his computer.
Sheng Kuang sat on a single sofa behind her and logged into the game.
As soon as he entered, he was immediately pulled into a room by "All-around Ultraman."
The two wasted no time and went straight to choosing heroes.
Sheng Kuang's cousin, Yu Zhou, was probably good at playing Jing, so he picked Jing.
And Sheng Kuang... unfortunately, picked Shangguan Wan'er.
Lin Jing thought of the embarrassing scene from the previous ranked match and quietly swallowed. She repeatedly tried to convince herself.
It's not a big deal. As long as I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassment will be on others.
The game started. They were using the King's Canyon map and only going down the middle lane. The rule was to kill each other only, not push towers. The one who pushed their opponent's tower first with their minion wave would win.
Before level four, both of them were farming. Sheng Kuang snatched the small jungle creep in the middle lane and reached level four before Yu Zhou. Then, Yu Zhou died under the tower.
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): 6
Sheng Kuang ignored him. After clearing the minion wave, he faked a recall to Yu Zhou, then hid in the grass. When Yu Zhou used his skills on the minions, Sheng Kuang flew out from the grass, catching Yu Zhou off guard and instantly killing him.
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): ?
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): Brother, weren't you recalling?
Yu Zhou respawned. To prevent his tower from being pushed, Sheng Kuang gave him time to clear the minions. Then, just as the minion wave was cleared, Yu Zhou was sent home again.
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): Brother, go easy on me.
Sheng Kuang said nothing. He stood by Jing's fallen corpse and repeatedly tapped the recall button.
That scene was exactly like when Lin Jing ignored Yu Zhou in the ranked match earlier, and Yu Zhou kept tapping the recall button around her.
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): Brother, no taunting, brother.
From then on, Yu Zhou would respawn, clear minions, and then get killed.
Every time he died, Sheng Kuang would send a chat box saying, "Heh, nice game."
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): I'm not playing anymore, brother, I can't beat you.
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): Let me kill you once, brother, please.
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): Brother, you're going too far. You're guarding my spawn point at my high ground tower.
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): I'm going to surrender.
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): I'm really going to surrender.
Yu Zhou cried out that he would surrender, but he didn't.
In the end, he stood inside the crystal and refused to come out.
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): Brother, you've killed me 19 times. Is that enough?
Sheng Kuang's voice suddenly broke the silence of the bedroom, "Enough?"
Lin Jing responded with an "Ah?" unsure if Sheng Kuang was talking to her, "You..."
As soon as she said one word, Sheng Kuang suddenly charged the tower into the enemy's crystal and instantly killed Jing, who was standing in the fountain. Then, he swapped his resurrection armor for a golden body, and Shangguan Wan'er gracefully retreated.
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): ?
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): You're even spawn camping?
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): Let the child go, brother. The child just became an adult today and can only just start playing games.
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): Do you know what becoming an adult means? Brother, it's my birthday today.
Sheng Kuang spoke again, "Is it enough now?"
Lin Jing finally understood his meaning. If she said it wasn't enough, would he continue to kill Jing?
Seeing the child crying so much in the game interface, Lin Jing quickly said, "Yes, yes, it's enough."
Sheng Kuang grunted, returned to the fountain, and started typing on his phone.
[All] yLs·miracle (Shangguan Wan'er): Change your name.
[All] All-around Ultraman (Jing): What name?
[All] yLs·miracle (Shangguan Wan'er): 0-20-0
