Chapter 54   - You’re different.

Yu Yan didn’t look at the name carefully before clicking accept, and realized it only after the other party entered the party lobby and their names were displayed side by side.

Is it my fault I’m noob.

It’s not your fault.

“…”

Afraid that the microphone by the side of his mouth would capture and reveal his emotions, he carefully and imperceptibly drew in a breath.

[What are you guys doing??]

[You’re a PUBG anchor, not a LoL anchor, okay? …I’ll also watch LoL! Go for it!]

[I think that the fifth chapter of will be coming out tonight!]

Fifth chapter? Did that mean that the fourth chapter has already been posted?

He had thought that since 1 hadn’t come to play games recently, that PO author wouldn’t have gathered enough materials to cut and put together.

He was about to start a match when a dialog box popped up.

[Okay okay okay hugging you: ?]

[Okay okay okay hugging you: Match, together?]

was a novice, and it would be easy to get flamed if they met the sort of teammates who really wanted to win. Yu Yan agreed without even thinking about it.

Soon, the two of them entered the room at the same time, and the other person already there was “Little fairy wants a hug QAQ”.

“Xiao Yan, I saw that StarTV Weibo post, hahaha, so cool!” As soon as Lu Xiuhe came in, he couldn’t help but liven things up first.

Yu Yan replied, “Not really cool, start?”

“Start … Wait a minute.” When Lu Xiuhe saw his teammate’s ID clearly, he grew excited. “This ‘It’s not your fault,’ is this your—”

Yu Yan’s heart jumped, as he remembered that he had talked with Lu Xiuhe about matters related to 1 before. Knowing that he had misunderstood, he blurted out, “No…”

“It’s me.” Yi Chen said, “What’s the matter?”

Lu Xiuhe: “…”

Lu Xiuhe: “This is boss 1?!”

“En.” Yi Chen confirmed, completely unaware of Lu Xiuhe’s confused state, and moved around the screen. “Which of these two roles should I pick?”

Lu Xiuhe shut up. He had thought that these two names seemed like couple names and had even wondered if this person was the “suspected online partner” Yu Yan had mentioned to him before.

“You haven’t played before, so just pick first,” Yu Yan said.

Lu Xiuhe asked, “Then won’t me and my baby be separated?”

[Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: It’s fine. I can be the jungler and you can go mid?]

[Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: We can team up as mid and jungle to move together.]

Lu Xiuhe laughed pervertedly. “Okay, let’s move together, move together!”

“…” Yu Yan said, “I’m streaming, can you not use obscene language?”

Lu Xiuhe replied, “Okay .”

[Little fairy wants a hug QAQ: Your friend is an anchor?]

“Yes, StarTV.” Lu Xiuhe said, “A great God anchor, very powerful—of course, he’s a little worse than me.”

Yu Yan didn’t say anything and picked the ADC role for himself. Because he had been influenced by Lu Xiuhe, in his mind, LoL felt full of dog food everywhere.

At last, Lu Xiuhe brought a friend into their team, saying that he was a regular customer at his family’s Internet cafe, was very nice, and didn’t flame people. So now they had a perfect five-man team. magic

Entering the champion selection interface, Yi Chen looked at the numerous champions in front of him and asked, “What do I play?”

Lu Xiuhe asked, “Boss 1 hasn’t played before? Then whose account is that?”

Yi Chen replied, “Haven’t played before. Just bought it.”

“A new account should only have the starting champions and this week’s free rotation champions available?” Yu Yan glanced at the list of free champions and was preparing to help him choose a simple and understandable one.

“I have all the champions,” Yi Chen said.

“?”

“Just bought them.”

Yu Yan was speechless.

Buying champions with real money was very expensive. Few people, apart from those players who wanted to specialize in specific champions or suffered from the lack of in-game currency, would use real money to buy champions.

He had already become curious. “How did you know from where to purchase the name change and champions&#k2026;?”

“I searched up how to load RP and how to purchase the name change.” Yi Chen said. “The rest… The word ‘store’ is on the front page of the game, it’s very conspicuous.”

If the game didn’t offer the option to purchase a name change, then he would’ve had to go buy a new account.

[Wealthy people have a natural sense for loading currency and purchasing things. I didn’t believe that before, but now I do.]

“Why don’t you play Sona? The maven of the strings.” Yu Yan said, “Just keep pressing the four keys QWER, and it’ll be fine; she’s suitable for beginners.”

“En.” Yi Chen didn’t even think before typing the name in the search box and directly clicking on it.[My Support is the Cutest (All): I have even thought up our couple name; you can change yours to “My ADC is the most Handsome in the Universe”. I provide both online dating and marriage—a one-stop service = 3 =]

Yu Yan opened the chat box, and had just typed in a ‘scram’ when his teammate’s message popped up first.

[It’s not your fault (All): Scram.]

He paused, then deleted his message. “1, you can turn off the all-chat function in the settings.”

“Turned it off.” Yi Chen paused for a bit before saying, “You see, most of the people you meet on the Internet are such people.”

Yu Yan froze, not understanding. “Ah?”

“So when you’re online… Be careful when you make friends.”

Yu Yan didn’t understand, but he obediently responded, “Okay.”

Yu Yan played LoL all night, and didn’t stop until the stream moderator reminded him about not livestreaming a game that didn’t match his section for too long. He had just stopped and upon glancing over, he realized it was already time to end the stream.

He said goodbye to his stream followers. Just after he turned off the computer, the cellphone in front of him suddenly vibrated.

was initiating a voice call with him.

Why was it not a video call? Yu Yan stared at the screen for a long time before sluggishly picking up.

He asked, “Yanyan isn’t here today?”

Yi Chen raised his eyebrows, and it took awhile for him to respond, “He just ate his fill and is sleeping now.”

Yu Yan picked up his cellphone and sat on the bed. “Do you usually take care of him?”

“No.”

“Then… Your girlfriend?”

“I don’t have a girlfriend.”

“Oh.” Yu Yan couldn’t help it, but since the camera wasn’t on, the corners of his mouth drew up in a very obvious manner. “I’m not good at playing LoL, I can’t carry you. How about you redownload and reinstall PUBG again? It should be that the client was corrupted.”

“It’s already better, it was a problem with the game booster.”

“That’s good…”

Yi Chen lightly tapped the top of his desk and then suddenly threw out a sentence. “You’re dating online?”

“Ah?” Yu Yan was stunned. “I’m not.”

“Then who was Lu Xiuhe talking about today?”

It’s you .

This sentence had reached his throat and was forcefully swallowed back down by Yu Yan.

“He… He was talking nonsense.”

Yi Chen’s eyebrows loosened slightly. “Then that’s good.”

Yu Yan asked, “Why did you ask this all of a sudden?”

“No reason really.” Yi Chen said lightly, “Afraid you’ll be corrupted by bad examples.”

“… Online dating doesn’t mean getting corrupted by bad examples .”

“How is it not?” Yi Chen said, “People on the Internet will only show you the side they want to show you. Just by relying on sound and text, can you tell what kind of person is sitting on the other side of the computer?”

“…”

Yi Chen continued, “There are also people who specialize in deception and cheat people out of money and affection. You can’t even be sure whether the person is a man or woman, or whether they actually have a boyfriend or girlfriend in real life. Not even talking about online dating, you should also be cautious when you are making online friends.”

Yu Yan paused, then said in a low voice, “But the two of us… are also online friends .”

Yi Chen choked.

Yu Yan went on. “Even though you’ve given me gifts, I have never pretended anything.”

“…”

Yu Yan finished. “I’m also really a man.”

“You’re different.”

Yu Yan stared at his profile picture, his heart beating very fast. “…how am I different?”

The silence lasted for half a minute.

Yu Yan waited for a long time and didn’t get a response. So he said in embarrassment, “I’m just casually asking.”

Yi Chen was dumbstruck, and only after a while had passed did he make a slight “en” sound.

How was he different?

He also wasn’t completely sure.
