“Demacia!”
Just as Yu Yu was pointing her finger at Yu Luocheng while raising her chest to protest, the “Demacia” ringtone defused the tense situation in time.
“Message, message.” Yu Luocheng took his phone out from his pocket and discovered that it was Yang Qianqian who had messaged him.
‘She read my mind!’ Yu Luocheng was secretly ecstatic. He quickly opened up the message to view the content sent by his lovely goddess.
“Are you awake? Log in now!”
“Yes. In a minute!” Yu Luocheng replied swiftly.
He scrambled to finish his porridge and once he had polished it off, with a mouthful of pastries, he dashed back to his room to quickly turn on his computer.
Yu Yu knew immediately who the sender was judging by her brother’s overeager smile and she cleaned up the table discontentedly upon his departure.

A few green sprouts that grew across the windowsill dropped haphazardly upon a clean wooden floor. On the floor were a few pairs of slippers that were left rather disorganized.
Asides from that, there were no other signs of untidiness found in the room—it was clean, neat, warm, and a little cute.
Beside the window sat a Sony laptop, whose biggest selling point was its outlook, which attracted the heart of most ladies.
A dainty pair of hands danced on the laptop keyboard agilely whilst the owner of the hands appeared to be a little excited.
“I want to challenge you, solo!” The little hands typed out the message rapidly and attached a smiley emoticon to the end of the message.
There was a brief pause from the other side before a line popped up, “You’re not entirely awake, right?”
Yang Qianqian’s cheeks puffed as she read the line.
“Tell him you just want to practice new hero and there’s no need to be too serious,” the tall teenager sitting beside Yang Qianqian said, with a cigarette hanging from his mouth.
“Don’t smoke in my room!” Yang Qianqian glared at the boy as she scolded him.
Yang Ying grudgingly put the cigarette back into his pocket and grumbled. “Let’s be real. How could this guy be more skillful than your brother? Don’t you know I am the president of my university’s E-sport club? Our team has won a lot of competitions and we’ve even fought with a lot of professional players before!”
“So what? I still think that you are not as good as him.” Yang Qianqian pouted. After confirming that Yu Luocheng had created the solo room, Yang Qianqian stood up and gave her seat to her unconvinced brother.
“Hmph. How do you think Team Dawn has managed to reach this far? This is not a game that you can play well simply by training every day. You still need the talent and IQ to master it. If it weren’t for Laowu and I, I don’t think Team Dawn could have ever reached the finals. Let me show you how I destroy him in a solo game,” Yang Ying sat down abruptly and clicked on the keyboard and mouse skillfully.
Feeling a little unaccustomed, he grumbled again, “I am not used to playing using a laptop. Whatever. Consider this a little handicap in his favor.”
Yang Qianqian rolled her eyes and said, “You wouldn’t be saying this if you had watched his match the other day.”
“What was so special about that match? In a 4 vs. 5 game, it’s quite common to see a lane collapse entirely which allows the stronger player to attain Legendary. After all, there are not many skilled players in Lecheng cyber cafes. You will know what’s the difference once you have watched the pro players from those professional teams play,” Yang Ying responded while adjusting the sensitivity of the mouse.
Once he was done, his expression changed slightly as he read the newly typed line that had popped up in the chatbox.
“He invited you to go swimming together,” Yang Ying snorted as he informed his sister.
Yang Ying was Yang Qianqian’s actual brother after all. He knew his sister was never short of harassment and he had kicked those flies butts for god knows how many times.
Yang Ying was a guy himself and it was like an unspoken fact. Bringing a girl on a date to the swimming pool alone in the university was second only to having sex after a movie!
‘You must have a death wish for setting your sights on my sister!’
Yang Qianqian pretended to ignore the message but internally, she was scolding Yu Luocheng.
‘Idiot! Why send me the invitation now? Besides, who wants to go to the swimming pool with you? You pervert!’
Yang Qianqian felt her face heat up as she imagined herself wearing a revealing swimsuit in front of Yu Luocheng.
“Let’s AP duel in mid,” Yang Ying said.
Yang Qianqian was still thinking about how to reject Yu Luocheng’s invitation and did not pay attention to her brother.
Soon, the game screen turned into the loading interface. Yang Ying picked up his cigarette again out of habit but quickly put it back after he saw Yang Qianqian’s expression. He smiled, trying to divert her attention.
“Let me tell you, I’ve fought Xiao Guangjun, the AP from Team Aviator before, and for his level, maybe he could still bully those rookie players. But against a real pro, he is nothing but shit. If he is on the same lane as me, I would have crushed him without even needing any help from the jungler, so it’s normal to see him get destroyed in the mid lane. Eh, he chose Lux after I picked Fizz! He’s going to lose for sure now,” Yang Ying exclaimed confidently.
“Why? Is Fizz very effective against Lux?” Yang Qianqian asked out of curiosity.
“Not only is he effective, but this hero is going to roll over his again and again!” Yang Ying said arrogantly.
“Please stop bragging. Lux has a greater skill range. Fizz, on the other hand, is a melee champion. How is it possible for him to overpower the opponent so easily?” Yang Qianqian rebutted.
“There is only one reason for those who have failed to play Fizz well in their lanes, and that reason is cowardice!’ Yang Ying had completed his item purchase while explaining everything to Yang Qianqian.
Since it was a solo duel, both of them naturally went toward the mid lane.
Yang Ying, who was using Yang Qianqian’s account, guided Fizz steadily, and once his champion had reached his intended position, the first thing he saw was Yu Luocheng’s Lux standing in the middle of the lane dancing leisurely.
Yang Ying chuckled when he saw the taunt from his opponent. Yu Luocheng never would have guessed that it was not Yang Qianqian, but her brother, that was dueling him now.
‘You can dance as much as you like now! If you dare to take me lightly, I am going to kill you once every minute!’
“I seldom see Fizz being used in-game. Is this champion really very powerful?” Yang Qianqian asked once again.
“This champion is more than powerful. It can basically counter all mid-lane APs except Diana and Annie… Hmph. If my opponent is clever enough, he would stay close under the tower, otherwise, you will get to see how I slaughter him. Look at your friend here, he must be thinking that my melee Fizz will surely be oppressed by his Lux. If he still dares to come out for creep strikes on the lane after I reach level 3, it will be a sure-kill if he does not Flash away in time.” Yang Ying replied, giving Yang Qianqian the details to fully comprehend the situation.
“I see.” Yang Qianqian found Yang Ying’s explanations very convincing.
To be honest, Yang Qianqian was a little worried that Yu Luocheng might not be able to defeat her brother.
She knew better than anyone about her brother’s capability and skills as a LoL player because Yang Ying was none other than the captain of Team Dawn.
He was not a gangster that loitered in cyber cafes, rather, he was an elite student from a famous high school.
The original Team Dawn had long been disbanded after an overwhelming defeat to Yang Ying’s team in an internal competition held by the cafe. The owner of Dawn Cyber Cafe had no choice but to sponsor Yang Ying’s team and allowed them to participate in the tournament under his cafe’s name. If he had not done so, Dawn Cyber Cafe’s name would have been tainted and he would have lost face in the E-sport world.
