Chapter 34: Don’t Worry, I’m Here

Jian Yao clutched her phone, unable to shake off the nervousness.

Could the game Gu Zhiyan invited her to be this one?

Yao Guang’s CEO office.

Gu Zhiyan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the message Jian Yao just sent on his phone. His fingers tapped lightly on the screen, slowly typing a few words.

“Don’t need to prepare anything. I have all the equipment here. Just come over. I’ll pick you up at six.”

After sending the message, he stared intently at his phone, waiting for a reply from the other side.

“Buzz buzz”

The phone vibrated twice, and a new message popped up in the chat box.

Jian Yao: “I can come, but I want to make it clear that I really don’t know how to play games.”

A faint blush crept onto Gu Zhiyan’s lips.

Gu Zhiyan: “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

After confirming with Jian Yao, he pulled up Pei Yi’s number and dialed.

The call was answered after only three rings.

Pei Yi’s voice on the other end was lazy, like someone who just woke up from a nap. “Oh, what a rare guest. What brings you to call?”

Ignoring his sarcastic tone, Gu Zhiyan directly stated his request. “I’ve agreed to participate in the event you mentioned last time, but the process should be according to what I say…”

Gu Zhiyan briefly explained his requirements, and Pei Yi’s voice on the other end rose three octaves. “What?”

“Live stream tonight at eight? And bring Jian Yao?”

Pei Yi felt like cursing.

Bringing his wife to stream, was he here to work or to show off his love?

Pei Yi: “People’s hearts are unpredictable, and fans’ feelings change every day. Aren’t you afraid of Jian Yao getting hate comments?”

Gu Zhiyan’s identity and that handsome face guaranteed a large number of fans and girlfriend fans.

Although the announcement of their marriage was well-received, who knows if seeing the real sister-in-law will trigger some fans to attack Jian Yao?

Gu Zhiyan snorted. “If I can’t even protect my own wife, I shouldn’t be out here.”

He didn’t rely on fans for a living, so he didn’t have to worry about losing fans.

If anyone dared to attack Jian Yao, he would definitely let them see how efficient the chief lawyer of the Gu Group was.

Seeing that Gu Zhiyan had already made up his mind, Pei Yi had nothing to say.

After all, the partner was named Gu, and the club was also named Gu.

If he was willing to spend tens of millions to play with his wife, as a good friend, he naturally supported him wholeheartedly.

Pei Yi: “Alright, I’ll have them make a live stream announcement as soon as possible. Live stream tonight at eight.”

Hanging up the phone, Gu Zhiyan glanced at the time, turned off his phone, and went into the lounge.

He opened the cabinet in the lounge and carefully selected his clothes.

A black suit jacket was too formal, and he had worn a black shirt last time. He rummaged through the full cabinet of clothes and finally chose a white shirt.

He didn’t wear a tie, and he deliberately unbuttoned two buttons at the collar, revealing his collarbone and Adam’s apple. His cuffs were not fastened with cufflinks, but only loosely rolled up, revealing a section of his strong arm.

Gu Zhiyan looked at himself in the mirror for a long time before he was satisfied and returned to his office to continue working.

He decided to stream at the last minute, so he needed to finish his work as soon as possible.

Although Jian Yao saw Gu Zhiyan say she didn’t need to prepare anything, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

She was afraid that she would make mistakes while playing the game and be looked down upon by Gu Zhiyan and his friends. So, she picked up her phone and started searching for Gu Zhiyan’s previous game videos, wanting to learn in advance.

Last-minute cramming, even if it’s not ideal, is better than nothing.

As soon as she typed in Gu Zhiyan’s name, the latest news popped up was the official statement of the chicken game.

Flying Studio: Huge Announcement! Relive the Past Live Event, the Three Musketeers have assembled, tonight at 8 pm, don’t miss it!

This Weibo post tagged Pei Yi, Hongmao, and Gu Zhiyan’s accounts.

Jian Yao glanced at the time the official message was sent.

One minute ago.

In just one minute, the comments under this Weibo post had already exceeded one hundred.

Most of them were fans of Gu Zhiyan’s trio celebrating, while the rest were comments from various game streamers and game fans.

Jian Yao skimmed through them, almost all of them were full of anticipation, instantly making her feel immense pressure.

So many people were watching, if she messed up, she might as well move to another planet.

There were many online compilations of Gu Zhiyan’s highlights.

Jian Yao randomly clicked on one with the highest popularity, the title was Gu Shen’s Most Handsome Instant Snipe Compilation.

The video was long, the characters in the game were wearing different clothes, obviously not just one match’s kill moments.

The high-energy music paired with extremely smooth operations, anyone who appeared in his field of vision, none could escape the gun in his hand, even Jian Yao, an outsider, felt her blood boiling.

Handsome!

So handsome!

After watching one video, it automatically played the next one.

This time the title was, Gu Shen’s Fengshen One War, Extreme One Through Thirteen.

This video was from when Gu Zhiyan opened a room and challenged various streamers, being ganged up on.

Because it was a live stream recording, there was a smaller picture of Gu Zhiyan’s face in the lower left corner of the video.

He was just a little over twenty years old then, his features hadn’t changed, but there was still a hint of youthfulness on his face, and his whole body exuded a little wolfdog vibe.

As soon as the video opened, Jian Yao’s gaze was involuntarily drawn to his face.

Until the game started.

They landed in a place called G-Port, a bunch of iron boxes like a maze, making Jian Yao dizzy.

The unique terrain made visibility very poor, her ears were filled with dense footsteps and gunfire, combined with the commentary voice in the video, Jian Yao’s heart was pounding.

However, the protagonist in the video seemed to be more like an outsider than Jian Yao, facing the crowd surrounding him, every move, every shot, every grenade he threw seemed like it had a GPS, effortless.

Jian Yao had seen Lu Chengze play games, he was already considered very good among ordinary players.

When he was on voice chat, he often heard little girls in the match saying “Little brother, you’re so good.”

At that time, Lu Chengze, who couldn’t even tell east from west when he entered the map, was already very good in Jian Yao’s eyes.

Now, after watching Gu Zhiyan’s operation, Jian Yao felt like she finally understood what it meant to “eat good stuff.”

For the entire afternoon, apart from tidying up the clothes sent by the mall, Jian Yao was basically watching Gu Zhiyan’s previous videos.

His operation was so smooth that when Gu Zhiyan sent her a message asking if she was ready, Jian Yao even felt a sense of “this game is nothing”

She confidently tidied her messy hair, grabbed her bag and went downstairs.

Downstairs, Gu Zhiyan, unusually, drove a blue Lamborghini convertible today, seeing her coming, he opened the central control lock, “Get in.”

Before the door was even opened, Jian Yao saw the flowers placed in the passenger seat.
