Sister, Choose Me, I'm Super Sweet [Esports] - Chapter 8

Chapter 8: I Must Play Well This Game

When the fans in the live stream heard that Tong Yi was going to message Ah Heng to arrange a duo, the chat messages instantly increased several times over.

“What? Is it our turn for Hengyi (Ah Heng + Tong Yi) to eat today?”

“Are the Hengyi CP fans celebrating the new year?”

“If you’re going to duo, please make sure it’s on a weekend. I’m a high school student and can’t use my phone from Monday to Friday. You don’t understand the pain.”

While messaging Ah Heng, Tong Yi took a moment to glance at the chat.

“I’m not sure if we’ll duo on a weekend. It depends on Ah Heng’s schedule since they’re busy preparing for the playoffs,” Tong Yi replied to the high school student’s message.

As for the Hengyi CP fans, Tong Yi skipped over those messages. She was fine with people shipping her. She had a CP fan group not just with Ah Heng, but also with several other beautiful players in the league, and even with Xia Yun.

At first, Tong Yi found it a bit strange, but after understanding that everyone was just doing it for fun, she let it be. She never tried to leverage these pairings herself.

“Hahahaha, Captain Tong said they are busy and have to prepare for the playoffs.”

“Wow, Captain Tong said it so casually, she’s so big-hearted. It looks like she’s not sad at all.”

“I almost forgot, New Fire didn’t make the playoffs, so Captain Tong must have a lot of free time now.”

Tong Yi lowered her head and looked at Ah Heng’s reply.

RG.Ah Heng: “Of course! I’ve wanted to duo with you for a while. I’ll check my schedule when I get back and let you know when I’m free.”

Tong Yi: “Sounds good. Have fun.”

RG.Ah Heng: “I’ve heard rumors. They say that Maple and Moon from your team are leaving after the Spring Split. What about you?”

Tong Yi thought the conversation was over, but unexpectedly, Ah Heng asked another question, so she continued typing.

“I’ll decide at the end of the year.”

Just as the chat was discussing the duo between Tong Yi and Ah Heng, an untimely message appeared. The user’s ID was a gold ingot icon.

“Don’t duo with Ah Heng. I don’t like her at all!”

But as soon as the message was sent, it was instantly cursed out by countless viewers in the live stream.

“What’s it to you? If you don’t like it, get out. Tong Yi didn’t say anything, so who are you to judge?”

“Who is this gold ingot? Why are they so nosy?”

“What if I told you that not only is Captain Tong going to duo with Ah Heng, but they might even become teammates in the future? Would you be so mad you’d die?”

Gold Ingot: “God Yi won’t be teammates with Ah Heng.”

The live stream viewers were furious that the gold ingot dared to talk back.

“How can you be so sure? Are you a parasite in Tong Yi’s stomach?”

“This gold ingot has way too strong of a possessive streak over God Yi. Who do you think you are?”

“We haven’t even seen you send a single gift to God Yi. Why are you acting so high and mighty? Why don’t you send a cat house to show us your worth first?”

Gold Ingot: “I’m a minor and can’t send gifts. Otherwise, I would’ve been the top donator a long time ago.”

The gold ingot said this with great seriousness, but it didn’t sound convincing at all and only made people think she was lying.

“Who would believe that? If you’re so capable, use your parents’ account to send a gift.”

“Show us what you got, Venmo me $50.”

“Why is a minor watching a live stream? Your main task right now is to pass the elementary school entrance exam.”

“Have you even understood your elementary school textbooks yet? Why are you trying to act like an adult and watch a live stream? What school are you from? I’m going to call your homeroom teacher.”

Amidst the mockery, the viewer with the gold ingot icon apparently realized that no one would believe what she said, so she stopped talking back. These conversations were quickly drowned out by a large number of other messages, and since Tong Yi was focused on replying to Ah Heng’s messages, she didn’t notice the little incident in the chat.

RG.Ah Heng: “If you’re going to change teams at the end of the year, consider coming to RG. Our coach and I both think highly of you. If you come, you can go straight into the starting lineup.”

Tong Yi: “I’ll consider RG first.”

RG.Ah Heng: “I’m relieved to hear you say that.”

Tong Yi: “Alright, I’m not going to chat anymore. You go play. I’m still streaming.”

After seeing Ah Heng’s reply with an “OK” emoji, Tong Yi was satisfied. She put down her phone and looked back at her computer screen.

“Alright, I’ve already set up a duo with Ah Heng, so let’s continue playing,” Tong Yi said.

“Yes, great! They’ve already arranged it!”

“What’s wrong with that gold ingot now? Weren’t you so loud earlier?”

“Yeah, say something, gold ingot! I see you’re still in the live stream. Don’t play dumb!”

Under the siege, the gold ingot weakly sent an ellipsis: “…”

“What are you all talking about? Who is the gold ingot?” Tong Yi looked at the chat with a puzzled expression.

As Tong Yi spoke, she casually clicked the button to start the game.

At this moment, Song Jinyuan, sitting in front of her computer, held her tablet, filled with anger, and typed furiously to reply to the viewers. She looked up at her computer screen to see that the game had already started.

Song Jinyuan looked up casually. When she saw a familiar avatar, she froze. The avatar was a very cute tabby cat, the cat that Tong Yi owned.

“Oh, crap…” Song Jinyuan quickly put down her tablet and fumbled with her mouse to click “Ready.” She had clicked the start button at the same time as Tong Yi and had unexpectedly matched with her.

In fact, the probability of them matching was quite high since their account levels were similar, but Song Jinyuan felt she was unlucky. She had tried to “snipe” Tong Yi every time she streamed but never succeeded. This time, she just gave it a try, and to her surprise, she matched with her as a teammate!

For a moment, Song Jinyuan was so nervous her hands were shaking.

“I’m so lucky…” Song Jinyuan couldn’t help but take a picture with her phone as a souvenir.

At this time, some people in the live stream chat were still mocking her, but Song Jinyuan couldn’t be bothered with them anymore. Her attention was entirely on the game in front of her.

Seeing that the gold ingot had stopped talking, everyone assumed she had given up and quickly moved on from the topic.

Upon entering the BP phase, Tong Yi was in the fourth position, and the fifth player was an ID named “Yuan.” This game, Tong Yi didn’t get the mid-lane role, so she ended up playing a marksman. The player named Yuan, in the fifth position, asked: “What support do you want, four?”

Tong Yi typed back: “Do you know how to play Doukou?”

Yuan didn’t say anything and quickly locked in the hero Doukou.

Soon, the game started. Yuan followed her to the bottom lane without any hesitation.

“Doesn’t the support usually help the mid laner clear the lane first?” Tong Yi said subconsciously. “Oh well, following me is fine too.”

The in-game description for Doukou is an alchemist and a foodie whose favorite things to do are alchemy and eating delicious food. The hero’s appearance is also very cute, wearing a red outfit with a small cauldron that spits fire, which she either holds in her hand or puts on her head, and she walks with a little hop.

At this moment, Song Jinyuan, who was playing the game in front of her computer, was so excited she was about to die.

“I have to play well this game,” Song Jinyuan said happily to herself. This way, after the game ends, she can ask her “sister” to play with her again.

Just then, Song Jinyuan heard the door to her room open, and a five or six-year-old boy walked in.

Song Jinyuan turned to look at him and immediately said: “Tao Tao, get out. It’s rude to just enter someone else’s room.” This was her aunt’s child, who was staying at her house while her aunt visited Haicheng for a few days.

“I’m going in!” Tao Tao walked in self-righteously and looked up at Song Jinyuan. “Are you playing a game? Let me play too!”

Song Jinyuan rolled her eyes, too lazy to bother with him. She controlled her hero on the screen and went to the outer tower in the bottom lane with Tong Yi, ready to use her skills.

Doukou is very strong in the current version, a support hero that is a combination of a utility and a healer. Her Q skill summons a ball of true fire that she releases in a specific direction. If the flame hits an enemy, it causes continuous burn damage and slows them down. If the flame hits an ally, it increases their attack and critical damage, and also provides a three-second shield.

Song Jinyuan controlled Doukou to walk in front of Tong Yi to protect her, while preparing to use her Q skill to attack the enemy marksman.

Just then, a hand reached over from the side of the desk and suddenly pulled Song Jinyuan’s hand.

“Hey!” Song Jinyuan was startled.

At that moment, her skill was released crookedly. On the screen, Doukou threw the ball of true fire into an empty bush nearby.

Tong Yi: “?”

Enemy marksman: “?”

Song Jinyuan: “…”

Viewers in the live stream: “.”

“What are you doing?!” Song Jinyuan looked at Tao Tao angrily. “Get out of here!”

At the same time, Song Jinyuan quickly typed in the team chat.

“Sorry, my hand slipped.”

Tong Yi replied good-naturedly: “It’s fine. Be careful next time.”

“Get away, don’t bother me while I’m playing!” Song Jinyuan tried to get the child next to her to leave again.

To her surprise, Tao Tao not only didn’t leave but also went a step further, standing on his tiptoes and pressing random keys on Song Jinyuan’s keyboard.

“You’re not allowed to play games! My mom doesn’t let me play games, so you’re not allowed to either!” Tao Tao said to Song Jinyuan.

“Damn it!” Song Jinyuan pushed Tao Tao away. “You’re dead meat, I’m telling you!”

When Tao Tao saw that Song Jinyuan hadn’t stopped playing the game, he started causing all sorts of trouble. Song Jinyuan had to play the game while also trying to stop Tao Tao, and she was completely overwhelmed.

In less than a minute, Song Jinyuan couldn’t take it anymore and shouted toward the door, “Mom! Mom! Come here and get him out!”

But no one came in even after Song Jinyuan had been yelling for a while.

“Auntie just went out with my mom, hehe,” Tao Tao looked at Song Jinyuan triumphantly. “You’re not allowed to play games anymore, or you have to let me play.”

Song Jinyuan was so angry she rolled her eyes, wishing she could slap Tao Tao across the face.
