Enemies on a Narrow Road [Esports] Chapter 30

Chapter 30 ◎ Changed His Nature Today ◎

Lin Sumo clicked his tongue after respawning. Seeing he was level 6, he moved his mouse to level up his ultimate. As soon as he walked to the center of the map, a skill light effect suddenly appeared under Lin Sumo’s feet. Lin Sumo froze for a moment, then immediately suffered slow and damage effects. Then he saw Pei Yun come out of the bush, starting with his R skill flying over Lin Sumo’s head, followed by his E skill for critical damage. Since he was only level 6, the damage wasn’t that high, so Lin Sumo didn’t die immediately. Lin Sumo retreated two steps, cast his E skill first, then used his W skill to pull Pei Yun into the range of the E skill, followed by a Q skill for maximum burst. After this exchange, both had only a sliver of health left, and the whole process took no more than thirty seconds.

“My god,” the spectator group exclaimed. “This fight, awesome.”

Pei Yun recalled behind his tower. Lin Sumo, with his sliver of health, cleared the minion wave to let his minions hit the tower, then went home to heal.

Perhaps Pei Yun didn’t want to waste time. As soon as Lin Sumo returned, he continued to use the R-E combo to fly into the tower to take the kill, then flashed out of the tower, giving no chance to react.

The final result was that Lin Sumo’s disadvantage was too great, and his crystal was destroyed by Pei Yun in the tenth minute.

Game over. Lin Sumo took off his headphones and looked at Pei Yun with resentment. “Player Print is amazing, I concede.”

“We concede too,” Shen Chen added. “To be honest, I was watching just now. Actually, if you played a few more games, Solve wouldn’t necessarily lose.”

“See that?” Lin Sumo turned to Pei Yun, raising an eyebrow. “Don’t think you’re so amazing. Let me tell you, I’m very amazing too.”

Pei Yun looked helpless. “Yes, yes, yes, you are the most amazing.”

Lin Sumo froze upon hearing his words. The next second, his face turned inexplicably red.

Yu Pei said as if unsatisfied, “To be honest, I dare not imagine how exciting the scene would be if one day you stand on opposite sides in the arena.”

“Exactly,” Jiang He said too. “Although it was just a solo match played because the team had nothing to do, why am I feeling unsatisfied and blood-pumping watching it? Hey, don’t you think so, Choice?”

Xiao Lanyu nodded. “Yes.”

Lin Sumo raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Real or fake?”

“Of course it’s real, would I lie to you?” Xiao Lanyu said.

“Oh,” Lin Sumo dragged out the syllable intentionally. “Then you guys play too?”

Jiang He waved his hand. “Forget it, forget it. How could we play this? You and Print playing is enough.”

“Then what are you guys going to do?” Shen Chen turned his head to look at them.

Yu Pei spoke up, “Personal training, I guess.”

Others: “Okay.”

Lin Sumo sat back in front of the computer and started streaming.

The heat from the regular season match with Fair had long passed; now the internet was full of discussions about the just-concluded Entertainment Match.

[This Entertainment Match was really exciting. I didn’t even blink watching the final solo.]

Lin Sumo: “Thank you, it was indeed exciting.”

[Solve look at me look at me, you don’t think we couldn’t see your little movements with Print during the award ceremony, right?~]

Lin Sumo recalled for a moment before realizing they meant him fiddling with Pei Yun. “Cough cough, it’s okay. Doesn’t matter if you saw it; it’s not like it’s unwatchable.”

[‘It’s not like it’s unwatchable’ hahahahhahaha dying of laughter.] [Help, who understands? Whenever we mention Pei Yun, Little Mo-mo smiles so happily.]

Lin Sumo: “Did I smile? Didn’t notice.”

[You smiled! Just smiled!] [Baby, you look really good when you smile. I took a screenshot!] [Smiling at the mention of Pei Yun, our YunSu CP is real!]

“Hey, there’s one thing I’m curious about,” Lin Sumo adjusted his headset. “My relationship with Print is obviously bad on the surface, how can you guys ship it?”

[That’s not called a bad relationship, that’s called loving care.] [Hitting is affection, scolding is love ah 2333333.] [Tsundere Gong X Sharp-tongued Shou, top tier!]

“Pfft,” Lin Sumo really laughed this time. “Your imaginations are rich enough.”

He prepared to minimize the streaming platform to the background. “Alright, I’m going to climb rank now.”

[Wait wait wait wait!]

“What’s wrong?”

[Can Solve duo with Print? Expectant.jpg]

Lin Sumo smiled. “I’m fine with it. Let me ask him.”

“Sure.”

Lin Sumo froze. Turning around, he saw Pei Yun standing behind him.

“Holy crap,” Lin Sumo was startled. “Pei Yun, are you sick? Playing ghost at night to scare people.”

“Passing by,” Pei Yun said. “Didn’t your fans want to see us duo?”

Lin Sumo was amazed. “No, is your eyesight that good?”

Pei Yun didn’t refute. “Just glanced randomly.”

“Getting a bargain and acting innocent.” Lin Sumo turned back and rolled his eyes, unaware that the CP fans in his stream had gone crazy shipping them.

[Am I really the only one who thinks Pei Yun’s tone was doting when he said ‘Sure’?!!!] [New Year for the YunSu party!] [Help, I’m dying of shipping ahhhhhh]

“Alright, alright,” Lin Sumo waved his hand. “It doesn’t matter to you guys, but I’ve been playing games with Print all day. I really don’t want to see him right now, okay?”

He stretched. “However, since neither of us has any objection to continuing to torture each other, so…”

Lin Sumo reached out and pushed Pei Yun directly, saying to him, “Go back quickly, don’t keep Daddy waiting.”

Pei Yun threw him a speechless look but still keenly returned to his station and accepted Lin Sumo’s team invite.

What surprised Lin Sumo was that Pei Yun took extra care of him in these few duo games.

giving kills when asked, helping beat people up when asked, and constantly looking out for Lin Sumo during team fights.

“Son has grown up, I’m very gratified.” Lin Sumo returned to the team preparation interface, glancing at the time. “Changed your nature today?”

Pei Yun sighed and ignored him. “Auntie bought late-night snacks. Want to go down and eat?”

Lin Sumo thought for a moment. “Not going. You go first.”

With that, he quit the duo party, planning to play two solo ranked games to climb the ladder.

Originally, Lin Sumo only wanted to play two games, but he got more and more absorbed, sitting there without moving for nearly an hour.

Just as Lin Sumo rubbed his eyes intending to start the next game, Pei Yun suddenly appeared behind him and handed something over. “Rest a bit, don’t go blind.”

Lin Sumo took a look. Pei Yun had handed him a box of cake.

“How do you remember I like sweets?” Lin Sumo closed the game interface and scanned the training room, finding no one but them. “Where are the others?”

“Spent more than ten years together, how could I not know what you like?” Pei Yun leaned back against Lin Sumo’s desk. “They are all eating downstairs.”

“Oh.” Lin Sumo responded casually, not thinking about why Pei Yun would voluntarily bring him food. He opened the cake box and started eating.

“Lin Sumo.” Pei Yun called him.

Lin Sumo looked up. “What?”

“Nothing,” Pei Yun smiled rarely. “Just calling for fun.”

“You’re bored.” Lin Sumo ungenerously awarded him an eye roll and lowered his head to continue eating the cake.

“If fans see this, it’ll be New Year again, right?” Pei Yun seemed to be in a good mood, having the mind to chat with him.

“Yeah,” Lin Sumo took over the conversation unconsciously. “Very strange, right?”

Lin Sumo instinctively felt Pei Yun thought the same. Who expected Pei Yun to say, “Not strange.”

“Hey,” Lin Sumo thought he was going crazy again. “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? Will you die if you don’t contradict me for a day?”

“Why are you guys arguing again?”

Lin Sumo and Pei Yun turned around simultaneously and saw Yu Pei.

“How is this arguing,” Lin Sumo said. “If we argue, nothing from hair strands to toe tips survives.”

“Yes,” Pei Yun nodded. “Before, I cursed all his internal organs.”

Yu Pei: “……”

He glanced at the cake in Lin Sumo’s hand, then at Pei Yun. “I was wondering why you kid ran up so fast. Turns out it was to deliver food to Little Mo-mo.”

Pei Yun didn’t refute. Yu Pei laughed, saying with a mischievous face, “Just like those boys chasing girls in high school.”
