Chapter 39.1
“…… What do you want?” Gu Xiyu asked suspiciously.
Lu Ziqing, however, refused to reveal it, saying, “Of course we have to wait until the finals are over before I tell you.”
The surroundings were quiet, and Gu Xiyu could vaguely hear the sound of Lu Mingren’s car starting up and leaving the house.
Lu Ziqing didn’t tell him what the reward he had in mind was, and he didn’t pursue the matter further.
When Lu Mingren came back, he sent a bunch of things to him, saying that they were gifts and snacks that Lu Chenghe had brought back when he went abroad on business.
Lu Mingren even joked, “My father doesn’t even take care of me that much.”
Gu Xiyu was a bit numb when receiving gifts.
From that day on, Lu Ziqing became more serious about his studies and would even take the initiative to call on him to check his homework and review it.
Although Gu Xiyu always said that he was a good learner, he had actually taken advantage of the fact that he had lived longer than everyone else in this world and had received more knowledge in the time-space realm. Unlike him, Lu Ziqing was able to comprehend and use what he was exposed to for the first time very quickly. He was very logical, and he did not need to worry about mathematics, physics, or chemistry at all.
Gu Xiyu couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.
If Lu Ziqing hadn’t gone through those rebellious years, Xu Chengxuan might not have been the top scholar.
Thinking about this, Gu Xiyu was slightly shaken again.
It was a pity that the current Lu Ziqing was somehow the same as him, an outsider to this small world, his achievements were not destined to go beyond the protagonist’s as set by the world consciousness.
After dividing the Great Demon’s soul into pieces, the management bureau thought that his powers should have been equally weakened before they were cast into the villains of these small worlds. They wanted to make him experience the pain of being suppressed by the protagonist as a punishment.
Gu Xiyu looked at Lu Ziqing, who had his buried in his homework.
No one in the management bureau expected the Great Demon to be that powerful.
He was suddenly a little curious.
They all said that the Great Demon was a wanted criminal who had broken in from other levels of the realm, so which place did he come from initially?
“Little mom, I won’t be able to do the questions properly if you keep looking at me like that.” Lu Ziqing’s flirtatious voice suddenly reached Gu Xiyu’s ears, and after gently tapping his fingers on the tabletop, he said, “Fine, I’ll go back to my room to play some games, come find me when you’re done.”
In the past, Lu Ziqing would have been very reluctant and would have strongly urged him to stay and not do anything else.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ziqing was more than happy to oblige this time, saying, “Okay, you go ahead.”
Gu Xiyu looked at him suspiciously and even reached out to his forehead to make sure he didn’t have a fever before he went back to his room in disbelief.
When did he become so understanding? Was it because he was working hard to meet the goal for the final exam?
What kind of reward did this kid have in mind?
Gu Xiyu roughly calculated that Lu Ziqing would need about one to two hours to finish his revision and the assigned homework, so he decided to use this time to start a live broadcast.
Ever since he started playing games with Lu Ziqing, he would call out to him when he was live streaming, so today was one of the few times he played solo.
He still didn’t have the camera on, and the barrage was asking where his “cousin” had gone.
Gu Xiyu: “He has to prepare for the end of the semester, I left him a lot of homework, so there’s no way I’m going play games.”
[……Haha, I silently took out the homework book I just threw aside.]
[Watch the live broadcast while not forgetting to do homework +1.]
[Are the sisters upstairs already delirious from the mountains of homework?]
{The honorable golden badge “Little Mom is Lustful’ has entered the live stream.}
Gu Xiyu: “……”
Little mom is lustful: [I’m also watching the broadcast while doing homework.]
Gu Xiyu: “Focus on doing your homework, don’t get distracted.”
Someone on the barrage screen suddenly asked, “Golden badge boss, is your little mom really lustful?”
Gu Xiyu had already entered the game’s interface to pick a hero, and his eyelids jumped when he saw this question, but it was too late to stop Lu Ziqing.
Little mom is lustful: [Brother is more lustful than my little mom.]
[More???]
[Did I accidentally discover some shocking secrets?
[Is this the kind of fun I can have in a rich family?]
Gu Xi Yu’s hand shook and accidentally locked a jungler hero. When he took a closer look, it was the enforcer who needed great skills.
Some people on the barrage began to ask: [Didn’t Xixi say that the jungler was the one role he couldn’t play?]
[Maybe he wants to use the matchmaking game to practice.]
[He probably saw his brother playing so well that he wanted to try it too.]
[I can’t help but think deeper whenever you guys bring up “Brother” at this time ……]
[I have also started to think about it more deeply +1]
[+2]
……
Gu Xiyu stared at his game loading screen expressionlessly, trying to remember how Lu Ziqing usually played when he was carrying him.
Although his basic awareness was clear, this was his first contact with this hero, and he was unfamiliar with the skills and operations, so he crashed without much suspense.
His teammates had even started questioning him on the public screen. However, most of his fans in the live stream knew that he didn’t play the jungler much and were just laughing. Only a small number of sunspots and keyboard warriors started spamming at every opportunity they caught.
The room manager was quick to act, banning one sunspot after another.
The hero on the screen was once again resurrected, but before he could make a move, he was killed, and he died in the most handsome position.
[Too bad, the enforcer is not something an ordinary person can use.]
[I reasonably suspect that Xixi may have chosen the wrong hero.]
[Unless the Wild King brother falls from the sky, this one is probably gone.]
“Did Brother turn on the camera?”
Gu Xiyu had just let go of his mouse to ponder whether there was any room for a comeback when Lu Ziqing’s voice caught him unawares and rang out next to his ears.
He glanced at the suddenly silent barrage and subconsciously replied, “No, I didn’t.”
He then saw Lu Ziqing move extremely naturally and pull a chair over to sit beside him before taking over his keyboard, and he couldn’t resist asking, “Where’s your homework?”
“Ah, I happened to have a few questions that I didn’t know, so I thought I’d come and ask you.” The hero in the game had resurrected and, under Lu Ziqing’s control, left the resurrection pool to quickly hit the blue buff that suddenly appeared.
Gu Xiyu looked down at the workbook that was stuffed into his hand. The questions in it were clearly answered, and they even reached a 90 percent correct rate.
The headset was moved to another person’s head, who also knowingly asked, “Brother, why are there so many question marks on the side of your screen?”
Gu Xiyu stared at him with eyes that could kill: “Because I’m live and I didn’t turn off my mic.”
“Ohh.” Lu Ziqing took the time to cut to the live stream while moving in the jungler, and quickly found the on/off button for the microphone.
Before turning it off, he made a point to say, “Then turn it off first, so you don’t accidentally let others hear something they shouldn’t.”
“……” Gu Xiyu watched as the barrage on his live stream increased rather than decreased.
[Goodness, I’m a straight-up good guy.]
[So the younger brother lives with Xixi?]
[I want to report the anchor for not doing his job during the live broadcast and blatantly shutting off the microphone!]
“Why did you come over?”
Lu Ziqing, who had turned off the microphone, smiled and replied casually, “You were playing too badly; I just couldn’t stand watching.”
“And I couldn’t bear to see you being scolded into madness.”
Gu Xiyu replied helplessly, “I wasn’t affected at all.”
Besides, if it wasn’t for this person running into his live stream, could he have accidentally chosen the wrong hero?
“Then I’m the one going to be driven mad.” Lu Ziqing added.
Gu Xiyu didn’t say anything.
After taking over the game, the jungler’s operation changed instantly under Lu Ziqing’s manipulation. He charged straight into the bottom of the tower, trying to get a pentakill even if he died.
The teammate couldn’t resist asking, “Brother, are you just waking up?”
Lu Ziqing looked at the countdown on the screen, clicked on the item store, and asked while adjusting his equipment, “Brother, I helped you win this game; can I have a kiss?”
Before Gu Xiyu could say anything back, he leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
……He felt that his thoughts had become a little sluggish after being kissed by Lu Ziqing.
He remembered that he seemed to have something to say.
Until they both saw a message pop up in the chat channel.
Colored Marshmallow: [That …… Xixi, how can I say this, your group mic is still open.]
Whenever Gu Xiyu played the games on the live stream and encountered Mianmian online, he would habitually pull her on board. Unless she was playing with friends or ranking up, she would come over and happily play games with him, so Mianmian was actually in his group right now.
He remembered that this was what he wanted to tell Lu Ziqing.
But by the looks of it, it seemed a little too late.
There were a few seconds of silence, and the only sound left in the room was the sound of Lu Ziqing tapping on the keyboard.
The barrage was instead asking frantically, [What was said? What did this wolf-dog say!]
[I want to hear it too wuuu.]
[Marshmallow is also a room manager, right? We’re on the same side, so please broadcast what’s going on!]
[Is there any hacker who can help turn on the anchor’s camera and microphone? I’m willing to give a firework as a labor fee!]
Fireworks were one of the gifts in the live stream, and each one cost one yuan.
It wasn’t until the opponents were wiped out again that Lu Ziqing spoke up, his voice calm as he asked, “Oh, what did you hear?”
Colored Marshmallow: […… I just happened to put on my headphones right now, I didn’t hear anything].
Lin Mianmian was essentially a little coward who liked to get high on sugar.
The barrage in the live broadcast room was full of question marks once again.
[I suspect that Marshmallow has been threatened, and there is proof!]
[Speaking of which, where did the golden badge boss go?]
Some fans started thinking outside the box.
[Am I the only one who’s thinking that the Big boss with the golden badge might have a connection to do with this brother? Maybe it’s the brother himself (whispering)]
[What do you mean?]
[…… Then that person would have a complicated life, with a lustful little mom and brother.]
[What if little mom and brother are the same people?]
Gu Xiyu’s eyelids jumped again when he saw this statement.
In a way, this fan was telling the truth, but it probably sounded too ridiculous, so they just read it as a joke.
Far away on the other side, Lin Mianmian moved her hand away from the keyboard with a calm face after Lu Ziqing took over the jungler, and then picked up the phone next to her.
Her hands were shaking as she sent a message to her best friend.
[Crap, the CP I’m high on is real! Ahhhh!!!]
Yang Meimei: [??]
[They just kissed in front of me! Although I didn’t see it, I heard it! They must have kissed!!!]
Yang Meimei: [? You should tell me who the CP you’ve been high on for so long is!]
[QAQ, the gong threatened me, so I can’t say anything.]
Yang Meimei: [……]
Gu Xiyu’s live broadcast ended with this commotion. Even after Lu Ziqing left and he reopened the microphone, the barrage kept asking questions, which he chose to ignore. He only replied to one of them asking him if Lu Ziqing lived with him: “Well, he’s about to take his college entrance exams, and his father asked me to come over to help supervise his revision and give him extra lessons.”
On the contrary, after the broadcast, Lin Mianmian sent him an emoji of a cat covering its face from shyness.
She must have heard everything Lu Ziqing said earlier.
He was struggling with how to explain it to her when the next message came through.
Lin Mianmian: [Don’t worry, Xixi, I won’t say anything!]
Gu Xiyu paused and sent her a small expression pack.
He trusted Lin Mianmian’s character. He wasn’t afraid that he would be affected in any way, it was just that Lu Ziqing was still in school right now and was already having a tough time with the pressure of public opinion itself, he didn’t want to make his life any more difficult.
