Chapter 163: Chapter 163 What is cpdd?

"Right." As they were talking, Lu Zhendong suddenly remembered something very important.

"Jiang Man’s family somehow mistook me for you."

This statement left Lu Xingzhou completely baffled.

"To be precise, they thought I was Jiang Man’s..." Lu Zhendong struggled to say it.

He paused before he spoke in a low voice, "Husband."

"..." Lu Xingzhou was at a loss for words.

He had never met Jiang Man’s family, but he knew from their actions that they were not good people.

Not just bad, but also stupid.

"Third brother, I’m sorry for bringing you trouble. I’ll clarify this immediately," Lu Xingzhou said.

"Hmm, it’s okay," Lu Zhendong said in an indifferent tone, patting Lu Xingzhou on the shoulder: "If you really like Jiang Man, then do everything you can to keep her. However..."

"The premise is you have to be sure that true love can melt a heart of stone and that one day Jiang Man will fall in love with you, otherwise..." Lu Zhendong laughed bitterly, "Don’t end up like me, with emotional wounds that don’t easily heal."

"I know." Lu Xingzhou looked down, his eyes suddenly dimming.

He had heard about the emotional pain his third brother had suffered.

In the past, his third brother had adored Ming Ran to the skies, willing to pluck the stars from the heavens for her if she so desired.

But Ming Ran was young then and enjoyed playing around.

She grew tired of being with his third brother after a while.

Latterly, she spent her days in bars, mixing with men and women her age.

His third brother tried to persuade her several times, which ultimately led to arguments.

As their disagreements escalated, Ming Ran finally broke up with him.

Back then, his third brother had already prepared the marriage house and even proposed.

He had been looking forward to a happy future, only to be met with Ming Ran’s cold words, "It was just for fun, did you take it so seriously?"

A true heart given in vain brought a great blow to his third brother, causing him to be listless for a long time.

Thinking of this, Lu Xingzhou felt a dull pain in his chest.

Because he was uncertain about his and Jiang Man’s future.

Their situation was very similar to that of his third brother and Ming Ran back in the day, with a considerable age difference and a generation gap.

If Jiang Man also turned out to be playful like Ming Ran, if...

Lu Xingzhou dared not think of the worst outcome.

...

Late at night.

The Lu family’s old house was engulfed in silence.

Jiang Man, after washing up and changing into her pajamas, leaned on the bed and played games.

Lu Xingzhou also finished washing up, walked out of the bathroom, pulled back the blanket to sit next to the girl, and pulled out his phone.

"Jiang Man, teach me how to play the game," he said.

"Huh?" Jiang Man thought she was hearing things.

She turned her head to see the man looking resolute, his expression serious, "I’ve downloaded the game."

"You really want to play?" Jiang Man was still skeptical.

Lu Xingzhou raised an eyebrow, "The Lu family plans to invest more in the gaming industry this year, I want to understand it better."

He gave a righteous reason.

Without thinking too much, Jiang Man suddenly became interested, "Okay, then you should start with playing support. Play as Yao, and you can ride on my head," she said cheerfully.

"???" Lu Xingzhou was completely confused by her words.

Jiang Man’s lips curled up into a smirk.

Because their ranks were too far apart, they couldn’t play ranked matches, so she started with a casual match.

Upon entering the game screen, the third player chose ’Lan’ to jungle.

Coincidentally, Jiang Man synchronized with him and chose ’Luna’ to jungle as well.

Third floor: Fifth floor, don’t steal my position, I’ll carry you.

After sending this message, the third floor player flaunted his achievements like crazy.

Last match: 7-2-8.

Jiang Man looked at her phone screen, her expression unchanged.

She simply clicked ’confirm’.

Seeing this, the third-floor player instantly blew up: What do you mean, fifth floor?! F*ck!

Third floor: Fine, fine, fine, I’ll just throw the game!

Lu Xingzhou was a bit bewildered, turning to look at the girl, "Is everyone’s temper so fiery when playing games?"

Jiang Man shrugged, "Not including me."

"Come on, select Yao. Click on the support column."

"Okay," Lu Xingzhou replied.

"Stick with me the whole time. When someone comes close, use your first skill. When you see me attacking creeps, use your second skill. With your third skill, you can get on me, and you can also get off..."

Jiang Man patiently explained Yao’s three skills, as well as how to use abilities like ’Flash’ and ’Disrupt’.

Lu Xingzhou understood after just one explanation; he had great potential.

The game started and the guy on the third floor decided to throw the game. He picked the marksman ’Hou Yi’, didn’t go to his development lane, and from the start, he contended with Jiang Man for jungle creep gold.

While contesting, he also sent messages to provoke.

Dog on a Leash Flying High (Hou Yi): You think you can? I want to see how you’ll develop!

Brave Little Fairy (Cheng Yaojin): Oh, stop arguing. Can’t we just play nicely?

Brother One-Eighty (Angela): Brother Hou Yi, please play nice.

Hou Yi didn’t listen at all and kept snatching Jiang Man’s gold.

Two little followers trailed behind Jiang Man, wherever she went, they followed.

"Wait for level four, I’ll carry after level four," she said over voice chat.

No sooner had she said that when Hou Yi ridiculed her, "Hahaha, you’ll carry? If you do, I’ll eat shit on live stream!"

Angela: Oh, it’s just a game, stop fighting, Brother Hou Yi, kiss kiss~

Cheng Yaojin: Why are you so disgusting in mid lane?

Jiang Man stopped paying attention to her other teammates, blocked all messages, and focused on invading the enemy’s jungle.

"We’re level four now, Lu Xingzhou, get on me."

"Okay."

Lu Xingzhou clicked the third skill and latched onto Jiang Man’s character, Luna.

Next, his job was just to press the second skill repeatedly. If enemies came, he alternated between the first and second skills.

Lu Xingzhou felt like he was being flown like a kite, watching Jiang Man’s character dart around on his phone.

"Jiang Man, someone’s coming," he alerted.

"It’s fine."

"Another one’s coming! I’m out of skills."

"Don’t panic."

Jiang Man darted from one side of the wall to the other, avoiding the enemy’s ultimate.

Then, with a moonlit series of combos, she achieved a double kill!

The enemy jungler came over again, gifting Jiang Man a kill, and a ’triple kill’ warning sounded!

They had just scored a triple kill when, for some reason, all five enemies grouped and targeted Jiang Man.

As five people converged on her, Lu Xingzhou was dazzled, "How did I fall off you?"

"You got knocked off, don’t panic. Hide behind me, and get on me again when the third skill is ready."

"Okay."

While waiting for his skill to cool down, Lu Xingzhou continuously pressed ’Request for Backup’.

He glanced at the map; Hou Yi was still farming in the jungle.

This damned idiot!

One kill!

Two kills!

Three kills!

Lu Xingzhou clicked the third skill, shielding Jiang Man.

Four kills!

Penta kill!

When the announcement for the penta kill rang out, the phone immediately delivered the sound of teammates giving thumbs up.

Jiang Man glanced at her score, 18-0-1.

The total score was 24VS9.

Only then did she unblock the chat.

An Eel in the River (Luna): Hou Yi, I’m waiting for your live stream where you eat shit.

Dog on a Leash Flying High (Hou Yi): Pfft, of course, you’re good with Yao protecting you. Let Yao protect me, and I’ll carry just the same!

Swimming Against the Current (Yao): Protect you? Do you think you deserve it?

Lu Xingzhou snorted coldly.

These gamers, did they all have such an inflated sense of their skills?
