Sister, Choose Me, I'm Super Sweet [Esports] - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Don’t You Like It, Sister?

“My apologies, I thought you were a hater.” Tong Yi’s attitude was a lot better than before. It seemed it was all just a misunderstanding.

However, the voice of this “Yuan” sounded very familiar to her, as if she had heard it somewhere before. And this person was so naturally familiar, calling her “sister” right away. But by the sound of her voice, she really did seem to be younger than Tong Yi. In the background, the little boy was still crying, which sounded quite noisy.

“But I really did sabotage you, I’m so, so sorry, sister…” Song Jinyuan’s voice was full of sincere apology.

Just as Song Jinyuan was wondering what excuse to use to get Tong Yi to play a few more games with her, Tong Yi spoke up.

“It’s fine. My attitude wasn’t great either. How about I play a couple of games with you?”

As soon as she said that, the other side fell silent. All that could be heard was the child’s crying. After a while, Song Jinyuan finally replied, “Okay! You’re so nice, sister. You’re still willing to play with me.”

Tong Yi laughed and said, “Click ‘Ready’.” The other person clicked “Ready” almost instantly.

Then Tong Yi couldn’t help but ask, “That… is he your relative? Why is he still crying next to you?”

“Oh, I tied him to a chair and am waiting for his mom to deal with him. Sister, is it too noisy for you?”

“Yes,” Tong Yi answered. “A little. You should let him go. Will he still bother you while you play?”

Before Song Jinyuan could answer, Tao Tao cried out, “I won’t! I really won’t! I’ll never bother you when you’re playing again, sis!”

Song Jinyuan looked at Tao Tao’s pathetic face and then untied him.

“Get out and close the door properly,” Song Jinyuan said.

Tao Tao, freed from his restraints, jumped off the chair and scurried out of the room, afraid that if he ran any slower, Song Jinyuan would catch him again.

The room finally became quiet.

“Should I start then?” Tong Yi asked.

Song Jinyuan quickly replied, “Yes, yes, yes, please start.” So, Tong Yi immediately clicked the button to start matchmaking.

The live stream chat filled with messages of envy, with everyone saying they wanted to play with Tong Yi.

“Next time. Next time I stream, I’ll pick some fans to play with,” Tong Yi said to soothe them.

Soon, Tong Yi entered the game. This game, she was first pick and got the mid lane. She chose the artillery mage Spirit Rabbit.

“Hey, Yuan, remember to come to the mid lane with me to clear the minions first this time,” Tong Yi said to Song Jinyuan. She had already assumed that Song Jinyuan would play the support role.

At the same moment she finished speaking, Song Jinyuan sent a message in the in-game text chat, addressed to the player in the third slot who had pre-selected the jungle role.

“Can you let me play jungle, third slot?”

“Huh? Sister, what did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly,” Song Jinyuan asked Tong Yi.

Tong Yi: “It’s nothing… Are you going to play jungle?”

“Yes, I’m better at playing jungle,” Song Jinyuan said.

Just then, the player in the third slot replied to Song Jinyuan.

“Why should I give it to you? I want to play too.”

After saying that, the player in the third slot also showed a national ranking icon.

Seeing this, Tong Yi was about to speak when she saw Yuan, without a word, also showed a national ranking icon. But it was a top national ranking, meaning a ranking in the top ten of the entire server, while the third player’s was a regular national ranking, which was in the top one hundred.

Tong Yi was stunned for a moment when she saw Yuan’s top-tier national ranking icon. Immediately after, Yuan showed another national ranking for a different jungler, and then another, a total of three national rankings for three different jungler heroes.

Yuan: “Is that enough?”

Tong Yi: “?”

The third player: “?”

Viewers in the live stream: “!!!!”

“What just flashed before my eyes?”

“Holy cow, this is a real Jungle King!”

“Such big, shiny national rankings, and so many of them! I want to embrace this Jungle King, too, woo woo woo!”

“Hey, everyone, she might not be a ‘Jungle King sister.’ She might be a ‘Jungle King little sister’.”

“Didn’t someone in the live stream say that there was a Jungle King on the national server leaderboard named Yuan who had national rankings for many jungler heroes?”

“??? I’m going to check. I have to confirm this.”

“Me too!”

“You have so many national rankings?” Tong Yi asked, her curiosity piqued. She had thought this Yuan’s game sense was pretty good, but she didn’t expect her to be this good.

“Yes! I have more, sister. Do you want to see?” Song Jinyuan replied happily.

“No, no, that’s fine. Then this game, I’ll rely on you to carry,” Tong Yi said with a smile.

“Okay, sister. You can just lie back and relax.”

At that moment, the player in the third slot spoke again.

“Oh my god, a master is here! I’ll give it to you, I’ll even pick for you!”

Song Jinyuan quickly selected Frost Maiden and requested a pick assist. The third player decisively helped her pick the hero. Then, the third player started asking questions again: “You have so many national rankings. Are you a professional player?”

Yuan: “No. Professional players don’t have time to grind for so many national rankings.”

She was telling the truth. Professional players have too many things to do every day and simply don’t have the time to specifically grind for national rankings.

Third player: “I see.”

The game quickly started, and Tong Yi moved to the mid lane as usual.

Just then, Song Jinyuan pinged the enemy’s blue buff.

“Sister, do you want the blue? This one’s for you,” Song Jinyuan said.

Tong Yi was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, “Okay, thank you.” She had been giving up resources to her jungler and marksman for over a year, so she wasn’t used to hearing a jungler offer to steal the enemy’s blue for her.

After Tong Yi said that, Song Jinyuan went straight for the enemy’s blue buff area without any hesitation, as if she wasn’t afraid of being trapped in the enemy’s jungle. Tong Yi and her support quickly cleared the mid lane. The support then went to the enemy’s blue buff area to help Song Jinyuan, while Tong Yi chose to stay in the mid lane to continue to harass the enemy mid laner.

Not only was Tong Yi’s skill already leagues above the enemy mid laner, but Spirit Rabbit was also a very strong artillery mage in the early game. With Tong Yi properly last-hitting every minion, she reached level two before the enemy mid laner. The enemy mid laner was forced to hide under their tower, but still tried to get some minions. As a result, Tong Yi brought them to low health, causing them to miss two minions and forcing them to hide under their second tower to recall.

At the same time, Song Jinyuan successfully got the first kill, sending the enemy jungler back to the base.

—First Bl00d!

“Sister, come get the blue!”

“I’m coming,” Tong Yi said with a laugh and quickly walked toward the enemy’s blue buff area. After a skill took the enemy’s blue, Tong Yi was an unstoppable force in the early game. Song Jinyuan hadn’t left yet, and was still farming the enemy’s small jungle camps.

The rest of the early game went incredibly smoothly. Tong Yi solo-killed the enemy mid laner twice and also got a kill on the enemy marksman while ganking the bottom lane. Song Jinyuan was even more outrageous, with a score of 5/0, completely stomping the entire map.

Tong Yi couldn’t help but start paying attention to Yuan’s gameplay. She noticed that Yuan’s positioning and skill prediction were exceptionally good. Several times she made beautiful combos and clutch plays that would surely get a ton of likes if they were edited into a video and posted on the “Breaker Formation” game section. She was a true “master.”

Most importantly, Tong Yi found that this Yuan’s thought process was highly aligned with her own. Several times when they were ganking together, their thoughts were almost synchronized. Tong Yi didn’t even have to give a command, and the other person seemed to know what her next move would be. To put it simply, just as Tong Yi was about to ask Song Jinyuan to do something, Song Jinyuan had already done it.

For some reason, Tong Yi started to feel a little excited. She wanted to observe this Yuan for a few more games. If Yuan could consistently play this well, a mid-jungle duo with her would be amazing.

But the excitement that had just surfaced quickly died down because Tong Yi remembered that the New Fire team was about to disband. The team was going to be gone soon, so what was the point of meeting a potential good jungler now?

The live stream chat was full of jokes as Tong Yi once again shifted her camera to Yuan.

“Enough, Captain Tong. How many times are you going to look at the jungler?”

“This is hilarious. There isn’t a single bit of longing for a sweet girl in Captain Tong’s eyes, only admiration for a Jungle King.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen Captain Tong pay so much attention to a random public player.”

“Sisters, I’m back! I checked, and this Yuan is really the same Yuan from the national leaderboard, no faking it!”

“Wow, tell us more!”

“I looked at her hero pool, and it’s just a bottomless pit. She has over a dozen national rankings, spanning all types of jungler heroes.”

“She’s that good? God Yi really ran into a true Jungle King. No wonder Yuan’s gameplay is so sick. She’s amazed me several times now.”

Tong Yi glanced at the topic in the chat. When she saw that Yuan had over a dozen jungler national rankings, she was genuinely surprised.

She’s that good? After the stream, I should definitely add her contact info and ask her if she’s interested in playing professionally. Even if she can’t join New Fire, I can introduce her to other teams so her talent doesn’t go to waste.

Just then, a ping came through her headphones.

—Mage, come get blue.

This was the umpteenth time Tong Yi had heard this ping in this game. Tong Yi snapped out of her daze and quickly replied, “I’m coming.”

“Oh, look, ‘Mage, come get blue’.”

“The doting from this Jungle King little sister is just overflowing from the screen.”

“God Yi has had a blue buff under her feet for the entire game. She must be living the high life.”

Tong Yi arrived in the jungle and took the blue buff that Song Jinyuan had gotten for her. Then she couldn’t help but ask, “Why do you always give me the blue?”

Honestly, Tong Yi felt like she had never had such an abundant game. Having a blue buff the entire time was just exhilarating.

“Don’t you like it, sister?” Song Jinyuan asked.

Hearing that, Tong Yi felt inexplicably a little awkward. Song Jinyuan’s voice was very sweet, especially when she said “sister.” The word was always spoken in a soft, gentle way, almost like she was being spoiled.
