Chapter 35
T/N: I’m changing the executive officer hero to “enforcer”
The divorce procedure went very smoothly.
When he arrived home, Lu Ziqing, who had already eaten breakfast, was sitting alone on the sofa watching television. It was clearly a funny variety show, but not only did he not have a smile on his face, but it was also clear that he was in a bad mood.
Gu Xiyu took out some lollipops from the large pocket of his coat, walked up to him, and handed them out. “Playing games?”
He passed by a grocery shop on his way home and saw the lollipops on the counter, so he asked the owner for a few.
He didn’t know if it would work, but he had to coax someone. This world’s Great Demon was still a child, so he probably liked these little things.
Lu Ziqing looked at the lollipops with an incredulous expression and couldn’t help asking, “I’m already an adult; you want to make me happy, and that’s all you buy?”
Gu Xiyu locked eyes with him for a few seconds: “Okay, then I’ll keep them for myself.”
As a result, before he could take them back, his palm was instantly empty.
Lu Ziqing looked like he was afraid that he would regret it, and with a dark face, he immediately unwrapped one and quickly stuffed it into his mouth, saying, “There is no reason to return a gift… Seeing as you bought it for me, I’ll reluctantly accept it.”
[[The target’s risk value is -1, and the current risk value is 44.]]
Gu Xiyu thought that he was still good at coaxing, but it would have been even better if he had been more generous.
He was about to go upstairs when Auntie Zhang suddenly came from the kitchen with a bowl in her hand.
In the bowl was a soup made from health supplements.
The Lu family had sent him a lot of things, and Auntie Zhang had been cooking them for him in different ways. Perhaps it was because Lu Chenghe had given special instructions, so the family didn’t dare to be negligent, not to mention they didn’t grab things from him and everything went to his mouth.
“Ziqing, why don’t you drink some? You’re growing up; you need a little more nourishment.”
Gu Xiyu’s kind proposal fell on Lu Ziqing’s ears, but the meaning changed to, ‘he is hinting that I have a weak body’.
So Lu Ziqing looked even angrier. He took the bowl of soup from Auntie Zhang’s hand, picked up the spoon, and said, “What silly things is Little Mom saying? Look at you; you are even shorter than a high school student like me; of course you are the one who needs more nourishment.”
Then Gu Xiyu was fed a stomach full of tonic soup.
After feeding him, Lu Ziqing even wiped the soup stains around his mouth with a satisfied expression and said in a low, deep voice, “Little mom is so good, I’ll feed you something more nourishing later.”
Gu Xiyu didn’t understand the meaning behind these words, but he still frowned and refused, “No, there’s already enough at home.”
Lu Ziqing laughed and washed the bowl in a good mood before going upstairs with him.
Gu Xiyu drove Lu Ziqing back to his room before he started to prepare for the live broadcast. Although his fans had already seen his face, he still had no intention of turning on the camera. When he logged into his game account, a friend request suddenly popped up, with an ID called “Little Mom is Awesome.”
He rejected it without hesitation.
A few minutes later, the friend request popped up again.
This time, the ID was Brother is Awesome.
“……” Gu Xiyu stared at those words for a long time and finally clicked “agree.”
It was Lu Ziqing’s side account, but the difference between their ranks wasn’t so big. After all, it might be too conspicuous to play games with the top-ranked player on the national server.
Gu Xiyu sent him an in-game message: [I’m going to start the broadcast, so play honestly.]
Brother is awesome: [Will there be a reward if I’m good?]
[…… Yes.]
After dealing with Lu Ziqing, Gu Xiyu saw that Lin Mianmian’s account was online and sent her a message before opening the live stream, then pulled Lu Ziqing’s side account to form a team and started the matchup.
[Xixi starts broadcasting on time! ]
[Crying, I thought Xixi would turn on the camera. ]
[+1]
[Turn it on! Turn it on!]
Gu Xiyu: “I’m not going to be able to play the game if I turn it on.”
The number of people coming into the live stream far exceeded his expectations, the number of fans had doubled in the time he hadn’t been live.
He silently observed the contents of the barrage and realized that most had joined in admiration after seeing the video clip of him saving people outside the arena.
[Little Mom is Lustful gives anchor Xixi a galactic gift.]
The luxurious gift instantly exploded in the live stream, and more people clicked into his live stream because of it.
The money came from Lu Ziqing and had to be split with the platform before it reached him, so it was a bit of a loss no matter how he thought about it. He felt the pain, but he couldn’t tell Lu Ziqing directly in the game, so after thinking about it, he picked up his phone and sent him a message: [If you spend money recklessly, there will be no reward.]
The yellow badge in the live room instantly stopped swiping gifts.
When they finally got matched up, Lu Ziqing’s excellent voice came through the headset and into his ears: “Brother, what kind of jungler do you want?”
Lu Ziqing had opened the voice option, so the viewers in the live room were able to hear him.
[Wow, I love this domineering voice!]
[This ID, paired with this line, is profoundly meaningful.]
[Xixi used to solo, or else would choose a few fans to play with him, it’s my first time seeing this little brother.]
[I’m getting high again.]
[Is that the brother in white that appeared in the live stream that day?]
Gu Xiyu happened to see the last barrage, so he hurriedly replied before Lu Ziqing got angry: “No, it’s my cousin. He didn’t have anything to do during his two days off, so I brought him along.”
[I’ll eat the little wolf dog any day!]
[It could also be a little wolf dog.]
[The sisters upstairs know so much, hehehe.]
“Brother?” Lu Ziqing’s obedient and calm voice rang out again. Gu Xiyu looked at the 10-second countdown and answered, “Just choose whatever you like.”
Lu Ziqing quickly locked on a jungler.
[?!!! This hero, is that what I think it means?!]
[Exe—executive—officer–! Xixi told him to just pick the one he liked, and he chose Enforcer. If I remember correctly, Xixi just cosplayed this hero not too long ago?]
[You guys are going to lead me astray, you push me all kinds of CP every day, but in the end, it’s all BE, which hurts my heart.]
[However, the enforcer’s jungler skills were complex to execute and needed a high hand speed, moreover, he needs someone with great operation skills. Is this brother really good? ]
[ I’ll move to the Civil Affairs Bureau if he’s good! ]
It was Gu Xiyu’s first time seeing Lu Ziqing play this hero, but from what he saw on the profile of his main account, this hero was already at a national standard, so he was quite at ease.
Not to mention that this was only a matching game.
The enforcer was a little weak in the early stages, so he can only develop slowly. The jungler on the opponent team was a good player and directly invaded their home base with his teammates and support in the early stages. Although Gu Xiyu rushed over to help after clearing the first wave in the middle lane, his two other teammates acted as if they didn’t see the enemy invade their jungle and just stayed under their own towers and circled around, so Lu Ziqing started the game with zero buffs.
The jungle blew up in the early stages, and many people in the barrage must have started to question Lu Ziqing’s ability. He was originally a little worried that Lu Ziqing, who had used his side account for his live stream, would get angry when he saw it, but he didn’t expect him to be particularly quiet, and he didn’t say anything testy. He finished clearing the rest of the jungle at his own pace and gained some money and experience along the way.
The first blood was the opposite shooter’s, and from then on, the two sides were at a stalemate.
It was only after Lu Ziqing grabbed the first blood from the opposing jungler that the game kicked off and he started hearing kill prompts from his teammates.
Gu Xiyu, who had finished clearing the middle lane, saw Lu Ziqing surrounded and maneuvered his character to help, only to watch as Lu Ziqing slipped through most of their map and killed them one by one.
Finally, the mage on the other side managed to slip away, but Lu Ziqing’s character jumped in front of him and released a skill.
The enforcer’s weapon was a blue, ice-bladed sword. The skill landed with the character on one knee, plunging the blade into the ground. The hit would give the enemy a brief freezing control effect. If the skill doesn’t connect, then the cold hero would land on the ground and slowly stand up while pulling the sword back.
As soon as this weapon came out, the hero, who was not popular when the server just opened, became an instant hit among players. Gu Xiyu watched the character’s movements and effects and could somewhat understand the reason for his high popularity.
Lu Ziqing’s blood count was almost done by the time he returned to Gu Xiyu, who just looked at the character and returned to home base.
A voice with a smile suddenly rang out, “Brother, did I play well?”
Before Gu Xiyu could reply, he suddenly saw the calm and indifferent enforcer kneeling before him with his sword propped up.
But it was not because of the use of skills this time.
[…… Fuck, handsome, but only for three seconds.]
[Mom, hahaha, I was just about to praise the little brother, only for him to get killed by a pawn.]
[laughing to death]
[Pawns are forever gods!]
The sudden turn of events also confused Gu Xiyu, and the praise that was on his lips was instantly swallowed back. He kept quiet for a long time, and finally he couldn’t hold back a very soft laugh.
Lu Ziqing heard it through his headphones and pursed his lips unhappily. He stared at the resurrection countdown on the screen, picked up his phone, and took the time to chat with his teammates in the group who were frantically messaging him.
BIG GG: [Where’s @azuresky? Don’t you play games on Saturday?]
MUTE: [ You’re going to lose your ranking if you don’t go online.]
Azure sky: [No time; not coming. ]
Azure sky: [Just call me when it’s down.]
Jie: [fuck.]
The sheep that let the wolf out: [fuck].
Pancakes and fruit are super delicious: [Really, how come I see your side account online? The status shows up in the group.]
Pancakes and fruit are super delicious: [Fuck, what the hell did you change the name to? Were you hacked?]
Lu Ziqing saw these two messages, but he chose to pretend not to see them and continued to play the game with Gu Xiyu.
At the end of the game, Lu Ziqing deservedly won MVP thanks to his brilliant moves, after which Gu Xiyu brought his long-time fan Lin Mianmian into the team, and the three of them happily played to rank up.
Lin Mianmian was so amazed by Lu Ziqing’s skills that she almost climbed the wall on the spot: “Xixu, I’ll become someone else’s fan if this continues.”
Gu Xiyu knew she was joking, so he didn’t say anything; instead, Lu Ziqing spoke out, “I don’t need fans; it’s enough that I have my brother.”
[?]
[?]
[Is this a confession scene?]
[9.9, I’m out.]
[Mama, is this the younger brother under the year? How flirtatious ah!]
Gu Xiyu played several other rounds, and Lu Ziqing carried them all the way. And from time to time, Lu Ziqing would give him a few words of guidance on consciousness and operation. He seemed familiar with the skills of all the heroes, and those in the live stream who wanted to come and learn were satisfied. The fans didn’t see the difference in skills, after all, their focus was on Lu Ziqing and getting high on CP.
Every time Lu Ziqing’s jungler got a kill, whether it was a hero with or without a blue bar, he would open his mic obediently and say, “Brother, come get the mana.”
Or he would purposely take him to the enemy’s jungle to help him buff, and if someone on the opposite side killed his character, that person would be targeted like crazy for the entire next game. What was even more outrageous was that he would also rely on his strength to overwhelm the opposite side, but then give Gu Xiyu the kills.
Lin Mianmian simply took on the role of a soft, protective assistant as she paddled through the whole game; after all, she could no longer function properly, and the people in the live stream were even crazier.
[Excuse me, am I watching a gaming live broadcast? I almost thought I was watching the daily routine of a couple spreading their dog food.]
[This is a pair of dog men. ]
[Look at the couple on the other side, they aren’t even as exaggerated as these two.]
The content of the barrage was getting farther and farther away from the game, and Gu Xiyu was worried that Lu Ziqing would get excited and be unable to resist doing something more outrageous in the game. The time was almost up anyway, so he said goodbye to the fans and went off air after the game.
He didn’t have to go looking, as Lu Ziqing came to the door as soon as he got off the air.
Since Lu Mingren wasn’t home, Lu Ziqing didn’t have any scruples to ask him with a raised eyebrow, “Little mom, I was so good because you promised me a reward, you have to honor your promise.”
Gu Xiyu rubbed his forehead and said, “Speak, what do you want?” There wasn’t anything Lu Ziqing was lacking, but he could cook him a few dishes.
He was still thinking when a shadow suddenly fell in front of him.
Lu Ziqing bent down, reached out, and rubbed his lips a few times, a motion Gu Xiyu was very familiar with, and asked with darkened eyes, “Little mom, I’m now big but I’ve never gotten one from a loved one since childhood; can you let me try?”
Gu Xiyu’s face was expressionless.
In the last world, that man called Ji Chen had also tried to persuade him in the same way.
However, he had concealed the fact that he had already divorced Lu Mingren, so he calmly used his identity as an excuse: “I am now your guardian and your father’s legal spouse, so this is against ethics ……”
However, before he could even finish the words, the rebellious boy cupped his jaw and lowered his head to kiss him.
The force of his hand was a little heavy, and his kissing skills could not be described as very skilled, but very talented. He immediately seized the opportunity to pry his jaw open and move in a little for a taste.
When Gu Xiyu was finally released, his thoughts were still a bit confused.
He then heard the other party’s voice against his ear, saying, “What I want most is to do something so exciting, forbidden, and against ethics.”
As the words left his mouth, the warmth that had not yet completely dissipated from his lips was covered up again.
Gu Xiyu was locked in the chair and could not move, so he could only let him make trouble.
He was actually a little devastated inside.
Lu Ziqing was too ruthless; adolescents shouldn’t be messed with! For the first time, he was able to experience what it felt like to be kissed so hard that he could barely breathe.
At the same time, he still had a question in his mind.
In the previous world, Ji Chen and he were legally married, so he could understand what Ji Chen had done to him in the later stages.
As for this rebellious teenager, when did he start having such big disrespectful thoughts toward him?
