Chapter 27: Brother, Your Sword is Magnificent—I Adore It~

But a couple’s duo queue with one dying and one feeding? That’s even more disgusting!

“Who understands, family? Watching Dog Yu punish couples like this is just so satisfying!”

“It’s shameless, but honestly, it’s exhilarating!”

“As a fellow Daji specialist, I really dislike heroes with long reach—but this feels inexplicably good!”

“So Baili can play support? And he’s so strong? Wait till I hit fifteen minutes!”

“Hey, you’re pretty quick up there!”

“Stop it, don’t say men are quick!”

Lin Yu placed a ward on the enemy Lanling King, the provocation dialed up to the max.

Just as Lanling King was about to respawn, Lin Yu camped at the freshly spawned red zone. When the exclamation mark appeared over his head, he crouched, warded, and instantly killed Lanling King.

Global chat: Jungle King [Lanling King]: You ****.

Daji chimed in, “Baby, I’ll avenge you!” But the moment she entered the red zone, she was one-shot by Zhen Ji.

Ten minutes later, Lin Yu watched the enemy Lanling King and Daji feed a total of twenty kills through their mid-jungle coordination, and as the game ended on the results screen, he quietly reported them without leaving his name.

Meanwhile, in a rented apartment in Binhai City, a couple was quarreling furiously. The man slapped the woman, calling her useless. Their less-than-a-day-old relationship ended completely.

Next door, a girl had just finished her game. Seeing herself ranked second as Zhen Ji and only marked as a silver support, she was exasperated.

Seriously… what about me looks like a support player?!

She’d gotten plenty of assists following the jungler, but did she not care about her dignity?

“Little Yu, you better remember this!!”

Today, she bore the shame of playing Arthur as a mage.

…

On the first day of filming, no one was very familiar with each other. Those who needed to return to their rooms did so, with hardly any interaction.

Around half past ten, Lin Yu was still immersed in the fierce battles of his game when the director’s voice suddenly came through, sounding as if it emanated from within the room.

“Dear guests, thank you for your patience. Next up is the much-anticipated voting segment!”

“Please begin sending your Heartbeat Messages to the show you enjoyed most tonight!”

Lin Yu had just activated his ultimate when he was startled, accidentally pressing Dian Wei’s ultimate on a nearby jungle monster.

Damn…

Lin Yu quickly regained his composure, leading his teammates to victory. After bidding farewell to the Zhen Ji girl, he opened the Love APP and immediately received a message from his boss.

A cute questioning sticker appeared, along with a line: “How many surprises do you still have up your sleeve that I don’t know about?”

Lin Yu mused silently: If I told you everything, wouldn’t you be shocked by my original talent? Better to keep it hidden.

After all, writing two songs in a day is explosive even within the entertainment circle.

For the boss’s safety, it was best to keep a low profile.

As Lin Yu pondered what lie to use as a temporary excuse, Bai Yichu’s message popped up.

“Thank you for your hard work today. That meal was delicious. Welcome to our family, newcomer.”

“I’m really curious—‘Love Song’ is your original, right? How did someone so young come up with such a sad melody?”

Lin Yu: ?

Why was Bai Yichu suddenly so warm and friendly? Wasn’t she supposed to be the cool goddess?

And this question seemed significant…

Two goddesses messaging at the same time—one the boss, one a senior—which should he reply to first?

The production team’s rule seemed to be that exchanging messages meant mutual interest and possibly further development.

Seriously? Just replying to a message counted as that strict?

Lin Yu thought it over. Regardless of the team’s definition, he’d made his decision—he would reply to his boss.

“Don’t ask—I feel utterly drained…”

Ji Ya was even more bewildered. What kind of wild reply was that?

Disrespecting the boss? Was he looking to quit?

Ji Ya pouted, thoroughly displeased. No boy had ever dared tease her like this!

But then she saw the phone’s notification and was dumbfounded.

What the heck?! What kind of trash APP only allows one message exchanged between male and female participants?!

What?

Bai Yichu lay in bed, noticing her message had been read. Ten minutes passed, no matter how much she tossed and turned or pretended to be indifferent—no reply arrived.

Even so, never having been in a relationship, she didn’t dwell too much on these issues and turned her attention to tidying up.

…

At that moment, Wang Fei was troubled. The four beauties of the production team each had their own charm and uniqueness.

Although singing love songs was his forte, he’d never been in a relationship, and now he felt hesitant and conflicted.

Ji Ya? He didn’t dare approach her, having heard that the queue of suitors stretched to another country, yet she’d never acknowledged any of them.

As for Bai Yichu? Too aloof, hard to approach. Then there was Lin Yun Yue, rumored to be connected with the film emperor. That left only one possibility.

Taking a deep breath, he triple-checked his message before sending it to Xu Mengbai.

“The moment I first saw you, I felt you were special.”

“Wow, this line… I’m dying!”

“Guys, I’m sending this to the goddess right now—see you in five minutes when I return in tears!”

“What? Is Wang Fei the only one seriously considering how to craft his message?”

“Damn, Chu Chu got ignored? Dog Yu, you’re dead!”

…

Xu Mengbai hadn’t expected to receive a Heartbeat Message and was momentarily stunned.

But she quickly regained composure.

Honestly, that greeting was pretty lame.

But since the message was sent, whether it was for the show’s effect or production arrangements, not replying would be rude.

She knew how to flatter and say false words—after all, it was just for the sake of the filming.

“Meeting you is the luck of my life.”

If it’s about cheesy lines, she was a pro—while the other party was probably still playing in the mud online.

Wang Fei was incredulous when he saw the reply.

Huh? He’d just sent a random line and didn’t expect a response.

And most importantly, the cool goddess was actually so good at chatting in private?

He couldn’t help feeling his heartbeat quicken.

Aside from the comments under his microblog, he'd never heard a woman say such words to him.

Is it possible that love at first sight really exists in this world?
