Chapter 65: She Was That 0–15 Kiddie Egg

After he woke up.

Shen Qingxuan glanced at the bed beside him and discovered that Jiang Yubing was already gone.

However, sounds came from the bathroom.

That was right.

This time they did not sleep together.

Moreover, Shen Qingxuan took the initiative to suggest it.

It was early in the morning, and they were still in the hotel.

Facing Jiang Yubing’s sizzling figure, Shen Qingxuan admitted openly that he could not handle it.

Bored, Shen Qingxuan prepared to play a game for a while.

As soon as he logged into the game, Zhang Yunhao dragged him into a team.

“Brother Xuan, want to queue for a normal match?”

“Didn’t you swear that real men only play ranked matches?”

“Uh!”

Zhang Yunhao’s voice immediately weakened, and he sounded obviously embarrassed, “I lost too many games in a row, my points are gone…”

He played until the early hours last night to climb the ladder, grew so sleepy that his eyelids fought each other, and finally dozed off.

Zhang Yunhao felt a little embarrassed.

He had originally been only one star away from King tier.

But he played until dawn last night, felt too tired, and fell asleep.

After he woke up today, he felt full of confidence and even jumped into the game before he could wash up.

On the first day of vacation, he planted a flag right in front of his three dorm bros.

Whoever failed to reach King tier would clean the dorm bathroom for a month.

He originally thought one match would settle the matter with ease.

Instead, the more he played, the more he lost, and the more he lost, the more he played.

It continued until he suffered a ten–game losing streak.

Zhang Yunhao completely gave up.

He wondered who on earth was actually winning in this game!

Damn!

Zhang Yunhao went straight into troll mode.

He lost the next few matches without suspense.

His team even reported him, and all his points got deducted.

He could only play normal matches to keep his gaming life going.

Regarding his brother-in-law’s miserable experience, Shen Qingxuan chose the most effective way to comfort him and said, “If you’re bad, practice more.”

After he spoke, he decisively muted his microphone.

If nothing unexpected happened, the next thing would surely be Zhang Yunhao greeting him for dozens of seconds.

He did not feel like listening.

Just after he muted the mic, Shen Qingxuan saw Jiang Yubing walk out of the bathroom.

She casually tied her hair behind her head.

A few loose strands hung beside her cheeks.

She looked especially attractive.

Jiang Yubing walked to stand behind Shen Qingxuan.

She rested her head lightly on his shoulder and asked curiously, “What are you playing?”

Shen Qingxuan turned his head, looked at her delicate face, and smiled gently, “I was about to play some Arena of Valor.”

When Jiang Yubing saw Shen Qingxuan’s team lobby, her eyes lit up at once and she said immediately, “I want to play too.”

Shen Qingxuan agreed without a second thought, “Sure, we’ll wait for you.”

Anyway, Zhang Yunhao could not play ranked matches now.

Besides, he was now a man with a girlfriend.

Of course he had to duo-queue sweetly with Bingbing.

“Give me a moment, I’ll ask Weiwei to lend me her account.”

While she spoke, Jiang Yubing typed quickly on her phone.

Shen Qingxuan had nothing to do.

He figured Zhang Yunhao had finished venting and unmuted the microphone.

As soon as it came on, he heard Zhang Yunhao’s impatient voice, “Start!”

“Waiting for someone.”

Shen Qingxuan spoke unhurriedly.

“Fine, then I’ll go wash up. When you’re ready, just start.”

Zhang Yunhao spoke helplessly.

Before long, Jiang Yubing borrowed the account and logged into the game.

After Shen Qingxuan added her as an in-game friend, he clicked to start the match.

They entered the hero-select screen.

Jiang Yubing sounded a little troubled, “I didn’t grab Yao, what should I play?”

She wanted to pick Yao and follow Shen Qingxuan.

That way she could protect her idiot husband.

Unexpectedly, someone else beat her to it.

“How about Salted Egg?”

Shen Qingxuan made the suggestion.

Jiang Yubing nodded, “Okay!”

She usually played only those two heroes.

After more than ten minutes, Zhang Yunhao looked at the situation on the screen and immediately flew into a rage:

“Brother Xuan, which one is your friend? Ask him to report this Salted Egg with me.”

While he manipulated his character, he complained loudly, “0–15, my feet could play better.”

When Zhang Yunhao finished washing up, the match already started.

The system even auto-selected a hero for him.

So he had no idea which one was Shen Qingxuan’s friend.

Hearing that, Shen Qingxuan looked worriedly at Jiang Yubing beside him, “Are you okay, Bingbing?”

Jiang Yubing turned her head and smiled lightly, “What could be wrong?”

It was just a joke.

She was not that fragile.

Besides, she felt she really played poorly.

The 0–15 score stood right there.

Seeing her focus on the game again, Shen Qingxuan finally breathed out in relief.

If Jiang Yubing got angry, he would be caught between his good brother-in-law and his own girlfriend and feel very awkward.

If he truly had to make a choice, Shen Qingxuan believed Zhang Yunhao would understand him.

When nobody answered, Zhang Yunhao called again, “Brother Xuan?”

“The Kiddie Egg you mentioned is my friend…”

Shen Qingxuan forced himself to say.

Sure enough, after Shen Qingxuan said that, the team voice stayed silent for a long time.

“Brother Xuan, I didn’t…”

Before Zhang Yunhao finished, Shen Qingxuan cut him off, “It’s fine, I know.”

The three of them played several more rounds together.

Unconsciously, it grew later and later.

The evening sunlight streamed through the window and spilled into the room.

Zhang Yunhao suggested logging off to rest for a while.

But before logging off, he warmly invited Shen Qingxuan to come out for dinner.

He even specifically asked him to bring Kiddie Egg along.

How could Shen Qingxuan fail to understand his meaning?

Dinner was the excuse; an apology was the real purpose.

He turned his head and asked Jiang Yubing for her opinion.

Jiang Yubing thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed.

…

At six in the evening, after checking out, Shen Qingxuan and Jiang Yubing walked out of the hotel shoulder to shoulder.

At the hotel entrance, Uncle Ling already waited there.

When he saw them come out, he hurried forward and opened the car door for them with a smile.

Shen Qingxuan nodded to him politely.

After he told him the destination, he and Jiang Yubing got into the back seat of the Maybach together.

They chatted in low voices.

From time to time they let out soft laughter.

Before long, the car stopped steadily at the entrance of the hotpot restaurant.

People came and went in the hotpot place, making it extraordinarily lively.

The air was filled with a rich hotpot aroma.

This hotpot restaurant was their favorite during high school.

“A familiar taste, I know it~”

After Shen Qingxuan sighed with emotion, he held Jiang Yubing’s hand and followed the familiar route toward the reserved private room.

The moment they pushed the door open, they saw that Zhang Yunhao already sat inside the private room.

Several plates of their favorite dishes filled the table.

Tripe, duck intestines, tender beef…

They were all classic hotpot ingredients.

When he heard someone come in, Zhang Yunhao looked toward the door on instinct.

At that glance, he failed to hold back and burst out a curse, “Holy crap!”

He never expected to see the great campus belle Jiang here.

And she even came together with his good buddy Shen Qingxuan.

Zhang Yunhao stared blankly for several seconds before collecting himself.

He then pulled Shen Qingxuan to the side and lowered his voice, “Brother Xuan, how are you with campus belle Jiang?”

Curiosity and confusion filled Zhang Yunhao’s eyes.

In his understanding, the two of them should not have had much contact.

Seeing his astonished expression, Shen Qingxuan could not help laughing, “Weren’t you the one who told me to bring her?”

After these words left his mouth, Zhang Yunhao’s face filled with bewilderment.

“What do you mean?”

“When did I ever say that?”

Shen Qingxuan gave a mysterious smile, “She is the 0–15 Kiddie Egg you complained about.”
