Chapter 4 ◎ Astrology Mismatch (Revised) ◎
At 8:00 PM, Lin Sumo started his livestream.
Song Hong had posted a teaser on the official Weibo account after Lin Sumo agreed to stream, so many people were already camping in his broadcast room.
“Trust’s heavy-hitting rookie debut livestream coming in hot…” Lin Sumo looked at the copy Song Hong wrote and wanted to bang his head against the wall. “Song Hong! What did you write?! Do I not have any dignity?”
Song Hong laughed awkwardly. “You don’t understand, this is how you attract people.”
Helpless, Lin Sumo could only bite the bullet.
Lin Sumo turned on the microphone and cleared his throat somewhat uncomfortably. “Can… can you hear me?”
The bullet comments paused for a split second, then began scrolling madly.
[Omg, Little Brother’s voice sounds so good.] [Is this Solve?! He sounds so young!] [We can hear you, we can hear you! Little Brother look at me! I love this voice hiss ha hiss ha]
Lin Sumo glanced at the comments and found everyone asking him to turn on the camera. “…Turn on the camera? Let me check how to do that.”
It took Lin Sumo a while to figure out how to turn on the streaming software’s camera. When his face appeared on the screen, the comments exploded.
The boy’s skin was as white as delicate, soft feathers. His round almond eyes were innocent and pity-inducing; one look at those eyes was enough to hook anyone.
His face seemed naturally flushed, with his cheeks and the tip of his nose a pale pink.
[Holy crap! Solve is so handsome ahhhhh] [This face, I’m in love right here and now] [I want to ask how old Solve is, he looks really small]
Lin Sumo answered, “17 this year.”
[Oh my god, really so young] [Little Brother, marry me!!] [It’s okay, Big Sister will wait for you to become an adult (‘▽’)]
Lin Sumo was surprised by everyone’s enthusiasm. While saying thank you, he saw an invite from Pei Yun in the game lobby.
Remembering Shen Chen wanted him to duo with Pei Yun, Lin Sumo clicked accept. The next second, he saw a comment float across the stream interface.
[People who think he’s handsome are sick. Is esports only about looks now? Recruiting an inexperienced pretty boy… waiting to see how long Trust can last.]
Lin Sumo propped his chin on one hand, laughing indifferently. He spoke lazily, “How long can we last… Don’t worry, definitely longer than you.”
The next second, Pei Yun’s voice suddenly came through Lin Sumo’s headphones. “Who are you cursing at now?”
“Fuck,” Lin Sumo was startled into swearing. “Pei Yun? You fucking…”
“Once you enter the party, the mic is on by default. I can hear you, idiot,” Pei Yun mocked.
Lin Sumo sneered coldly. “What? Not satisfied if you don’t get scolded too?”
Lin Sumo didn’t know that at this moment, the comments in his livestream suddenly shifted—
[Is that Print speaking?] [Shivering… feels like the smell of gunpowder between Solve and Print is so strong.] [Feels like Little Brother suddenly turned into a different person…] [Solve just joined the team, yet he’s so hostile to his teammate. Is this really okay…]
Lin Sumo glanced at the monitor. “Not hostile to teammates, just specifically targeting him.”
He returned to the game interface and said impatiently to Pei Yun, “Click start.”
Less than half an hour into the duo queue, Lin Sumo discovered he really couldn’t stand Pei Yun.
“Pei Yun, you fucker,” Lin Sumo cursed through gritted teeth. “Get the hell away, o-kay?! Count yourself how many of my kills you’ve stolen this game!”
Pei Yun said coldly, “I stole your kills? Can’t you see how much you’re worth?”
Lin Sumo was furious. If he hadn’t remembered he was streaming, he would have unleashed a lifetime of profanities on him.
Damn it, and why can’t we attack teammates in this game!
Lin Sumo felt the little volcano in his heart wasn’t just erupting, but exploding completely.
Preferably blowing everything to smithereens.
Lin Sumo typed furiously on the keyboard, secretly wondering why he couldn’t just kill this person.
After finally getting through one game, Lin Sumo immediately took off his headphones. “Coach Shen! We finished this game, can we stop duo queuing?”
Shen Chen, who had been spectating the whole game, looked at him helplessly. “I asked you to practice coordination, not to fight. You guys…”
Shen Chen rubbed his forehead. “I won’t hope for you to coordinate well anytime soon, but you still need to duo more! At least guarantee you won’t start physically fighting while playing.”
It was obvious he was rendered speechless by these two.
Lin Sumo: “……”
[Hahahaha I can feel Little Chen-zi’s helplessness through the screen] [To be fair, Solve’s speechless expression just now was so cute yayaya] [But I have to say, those two really almost started a fight in that last game…]
Lin Sumo put his headphones back on and opened the game interface, glancing at the comments on the stream. “Astrology mismatch? Correct, his fate clashes with mine.”
The party mic was on, so Pei Yun could naturally hear. He said directly, “Tell them, forget astrology, even if we had an 8000-word essay, we wouldn’t match. Yes, I clash with you. It’d be best if I clashed you to death.”
Lin Sumo didn’t even need to relay it; the audience in the livestream heard him directly.
[666…] [Laughing to death, Print’s cursing ability… those who know, know] [Please, internal discord is a major taboo] [True, if it’s like this in the arena, Trust is done for this year] [Stop arguing, stop arguing, just start]
In this game, Lin Sumo picked Katarina. Relying on the hero’s agility and his own skill, he suppressed the opponent the whole time, winning the match in 20 minutes.
However, he and Pei Yun still had zero coordination.
Pei Yun didn’t click start immediately. Just as Lin Sumo was about to rush him, a message popped up on the phone next to him.
[Pei Yun]: [Keep public and private separate.]
