Chapter 9: You Have a Home in Jiangzhou?
Hearing that this move actually worked on the big boss, Wen Nianqi’s mouth twisted into a pout. She let out two quiet huffs. “There was clearly nothing…”
Her sobs were tiny, but Shen Wang still heard them.
In the past, he would have hung up impatiently long ago. Who knew where all this patience came from now?
He curled his lips in a light smile. “If you’re going to cry, cry louder.”
Wen Nianqi froze. She had expected sympathy—at the very least, a few words of comfort.
Sure enough, she couldn’t project normal human thoughts onto him.
This guy was simply a pervert!
Playing along with his wishes, she deliberately wailed like a banshee. “Are you satisfied now?”
Shen Wang raised an eyebrow slightly. “Not bad. But you didn’t cry hard enough.”
Is this guy an S?
For a long time, neither spoke, but Wen Nianqi could tell his mood seemed to have improved.
Shen Wang spoke up. “Unblock me.”
Wen Nianqi replied reluctantly. “Oh, okay.”
She had thought they broke up and was just about to treat herself to some good food tonight to celebrate.
What a waste of excitement.
After pulling him back from her blacklist, she had also just returned to her dorm.
Ji Haitang, applying a face mask, glanced at her slumped posture. “Had a fight?”
“Yeah. I accidentally blocked him last night and got scolded for it.”
The other girls in the room wore expressions of having stumbled upon gossip.
To others, her online romance looked blissful. As always, love is best watched from the sidelines.
Wen Nianqi had bitterness she couldn’t voice. She truly wasn’t cut out for this.
Just hold on for a few more months, pay off the money, and she’d be free!
She silently cheered herself on.
Ding—
Shen Yan [Log on.]
Wen Nianqi wanted to refuse, but remembering how angry Shen Wang was today—even threatening to fly back and kill her—
she shivered instantly.
Kitten [Okay baby, logging on right away ʚ•͈ᴗ•͈ɞ]
As soon as she logged in, she received a team invite from Shen Wang. He turned on his mic. “Claim the flowers.”
Flowers increased intimacy points.
After claiming them, their couple badge level jumped straight to 52.
Wen Nianqi used to be somewhat addicted to gaming, but after rebirth, her gaming addiction had lessened significantly.
Who wants to spend every day playing games with a murderer?
Fu Yan had been eavesdropping at the door for a long time, but the soundproofing was too good.
He only clearly caught three words: “…kill you…”
“Brother Wang, you play so intensely.”
Only after receiving a message from Shen Wang did he dare push open the door.
Fu Yan laughed awkwardly, acting as if nothing happened. “Brother Wang, calling me to game this late?”
“Use a female account. Don’t turn on your mic.”
Fu Yan was puzzled. “What does that mean?”
“Just do as told. Stop asking so many questions.”
Fu Yan didn’t dare say anything else. Living under someone else’s roof, he had no choice but to comply.
Because he failed classes last semester, not only was his allowance stopped this term, but even his rent wasn’t covered anymore.
In Switzerland, where land was worth its weight in gold, where would he find the money?
He could only beg heaven and earth to cling to Shen Wang’s thigh.
Fu Yan borrowed a female account and logged in. “I have my own account. Why make me use a girl’s?”
“Brother Wang, you’re really weird tonight…”
“In my experience, you’ve probably fallen in love.”
Shen Wang sneered. “Go get your brain checked when you have time.”
“You won’t admit it, but why are you so angry? It’s just being blocked. There are plenty of girls better than her at gaming.”
Shen Wang said seriously, “I gave her so much money, and she blocks me. Shouldn’t I be angry? I’m too lazy to look for someone else.”
Fu Yan blinked. Put that way, it did seem reasonable.
But what was the point of making him log in with a female account now?
The three started a match.
During the preparation phase, Wen Nianqi sent Shen Wang a private message.
Kitten [Who is that girl?]
Shen Yan [Met her recently. Her skills aren’t bad. Brought her along to play together.]
Wen Nianqi felt something was off. Just as she was about to pick support, Shen Yan said to her, “Give the support role to her. You go mid lane.”
Previously, whenever they played together, she always played support following him.
Fu Yan also found it strange.
What kind of operation was Brother Wang pulling?
Did he want Kitten to get jealous?!
This dangerous idea flashed through his mind. Once born, it was hard to erase.
He was convinced Brother Wang had definitely fallen in love.
He just hadn’t realized it himself.
Wen Nianqi didn’t dare anger the tyrant again. Whatever he said went. She directly picked mid lane.
Shen Wang scoffed. “Play whatever I tell you to. When did you become so obedient?”
Wen Nianqi replied, “I’ve always been very obedient.”
This voice…
It sounded a lot like the girl who sold him the bag. But thinking it over, Brother Wang transferred her over a hundred thousand every week. She wouldn’t be poor enough to sell bags.
People with similar voices were everywhere. He couldn’t jump to conclusions based on one voice alone.
Throughout the entire match, Shen Wang stuck close to the support the whole time. Even when mid lane was getting destroyed, he remained unmoved, occasionally saying, “Stay safe in mid.”
Wen Nianqi died seven times. Every time she respawned, three or four enemies dove under the tower to kill her.
Feeling no emotion was impossible.
The other two teammates criticized her as well.
A sense of grievance welled up. Her whole body flushed red with anger. It wasn’t because she was bad; it was because the enemy targeted her specifically.
Even though they won in the end, she couldn’t feel happy.
Match over.
Kitten [I’m done. You two keep playing.]
Shen Yan [Angry?]
Wen Nianqi was furious. With such an advantage, he wouldn’t come help her. It was obviously intentional.
She suppressed her rage.
*Don’t get angry, don’t get angry. If I die of anger, who benefits?*
*Getting mad over small things, looking back, why bother?*
She took two deep breaths, controlling her emotions.
The moment she picked up her phone, her temper burst through the ceiling.
Kitten [Do you even know how to play?! Sticking to that useless support top lane forever! The ADC comes mid and you don’t even ping!]
[Sleeping!]
Only after cursing did she feel truly relieved inside.
This guy was obviously doing it on purpose. With Shen Wang’s awareness, it was impossible to make such stupid plays.
Moreover, as her gaming CP, when the two teammates attacked her, he didn’t say a word in defense.
“Damn Shen Wang, you have no heart!”
Ding—
She heard a notification pop up on her phone.
Wen Nianqi ignored it completely, pulled the blanket over her head, and slept.
“Anyone dating Shen Wang in the future has terrible luck. He shows zero chivalry toward women.”
She fell asleep while cursing.
Shen Wang stared at the messages for a long time. Although he was cursed at, his mood was inexplicably pleasant.
Fu Yan looked at Wen Nianqi’s disastrous stats and felt a pang of pity.
Zero kills, ten deaths.
“Tsk tsk… pitiful…”
The next second, Shen Wang spoke. “Add them as friends.”
“Who?”
“The other two teammates.”
“Why add them?”
Shen Wang transferred a thousand yuan to Fu Yan. “If their combat power drops, deduct money.”
Fu Yan immediately understood. Being able to curse people and earn money at the same time—why not?
He quickly created a room and pulled the two players in.
The second they enabled speaker mode,
Fu Yan didn’t hold back, turning on his mic immediately. “F*** you…”
Shen Wang opened a search engine and typed: *Girlfriend gets angry when playing games with another girl, why?*
