Chapter 206: The Game

After returning to his room, Yang Haoran was in a restless mood. He booted up a game and happened to see Wei Ming’s avatar light up from gray. He sent him a party invite.

Both had their mics on. Matching in progress…

“Haoz, I just logged on. How many games have you played?”

“What a coincidence, I just got on too,” Yang Haoran said offhandedly.

“Heh… must mean we’re like brothers, sharing the same mind.” Wei Ming was also quite surprised.

Having someone to chat with eased Yang Haoran’s mood a bit. He spoke with underlying meaning: “Of course. We’re closer than real brothers.”

Wei Ming understood what he meant and chuckled. He couldn’t help but boast: “Haoz, today my mom made a whole table full of dishes. It was so damn good, nothing like the crap they serve in the school cafeteria.”

“I can’t even imagine what kind of miserable life I was living before.”

Yang Haoran had also eaten the school cafeteria food. It was barely enough to fill your stomach, but the taste was… something else. Occasionally, there were even hygiene issues—he’d found hair and bugs in the food before.

Yang Haoran asked with a laugh, “Does Aunt He cook that well?”

“If I were right in front of you, I’d give a big thumbs up,” Wei Ming said, his tone slightly proud. “My grandma was the head chef at a big restaurant. My mom learned everything from her.”

“Haoz, I’m not even exaggerating, you really should try my mom’s cooking.”

Right then, the game found a match, and they entered the champion select screen.

Yang Haoran laughed. “Tomorrow’s Sunday. I’ll come over to your place and try your mom’s cooking.”

“Yeah, I was actually thinking of inviting you anyway.”

Wei Ming saw the enemy top laner pick Renekton and confidently locked in Darius. He asked, “Haoz, what are you playing?”

“I’ll play Lee Sin. We can combo,” Yang Haoran replied. “You can play a bit more aggressively early game, bait them out.”

The two had played plenty of games together. Their coordination might not have been top-tier, but they had decent synergy.

After entering the loading screen, Yang Haoran asked, “What’s Aunt He doing now?”

“She’s on the phone with her fucking lover.”

Wei Ming’s voice carried a trace of anger.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

“Right after we finished dinner, that fucking guy surnamed Li called my mom.”

“Did you hear what they were talking about?”

“I eavesdropped on part of it. He was trying to convince my mom to go back soon.”

Yang Haoran felt a sense of urgency and quickly asked, “What did your mom say?”

“Haoz, now you’re getting anxious?”

Hearing his best friend Yang Haoran’s urgent questioning, Wei Ming反而 wasn’t as indignant anymore. He teased, “I thought you were the kind of guy who’d pull out after cumming and not care anymore. Didn’t think you cared that much about my mom.”

“Hey… your mom is beautiful and has a great body. How could I not want her?” Yang Haoran said. “Holding Aunt He while sleeping that night was so comfortable.”

Just then, they entered the game. The message bar in the bottom left corner flooded with several messages in rapid succession.

“Holy shit, holy shit…” (Ashe)

“Who’s got their mic on…?” (Thresh)

“Is this something I should be hearing while gaming…? This is so wild.” (Ashe)

“Whoever said that… I wanna be friends too. Auntie, I wanna sleep with you too, I promise I won’t pull out after cumming.” (Twisted Fate)

Looking at the messages flooding the chat, both Yang Haoran and Wei Ming were stunned. Almost simultaneously, they both switched from team chat to party chat.

“Ha… Haoz, were you on team chat?” Wei Ming’s voice seemed to tremble slightly.

“Xiao Mingzi… you were on team chat too.”

Yang Haoran reminded him. His experiences were different from the average high school student’s, so he was much bolder. After a moment of panic, he quickly steadied himself.

They usually used team chat because when teammates heard their communication, it helped with coordination in-game.

But today, they had both forgotten about that and said some things that were far from ordinary.

Hearing the panic in Wei Ming’s voice, Yang Haorman said calmly, “So what if they heard? It’s a random match with people from all over. They don’t know who we are. What’s there to be afraid of?”

Hearing Yang Haoran’s reassuring words, Wei Ming’s mood suddenly brightened. Yeah, they were just random teammates. They didn’t know them. Haoz was right, what was there to be afraid of? Who would remember who in the next game?

“I’m so jealous. Is it the Darius or the Lee Sin guy? This brother’s got some serious luck with women.” (Ashe)

“Must be those two. They’re the only ones not talking.” (Twisted Fate)

“From the sound of it, he slept with the other guy’s mom. That dude said she’s beautiful and has a good body. Just hearing it got me excited.” (Ashe)

“Ashe, can you focus on the game? Stop AFK.” (Thresh)

“Who cares about a game when there’s news this wild? @Darius @LeeSin, you two, come out and give us the details. I’m all ears.” (Ashe)

“It’s not like we know each other anyway. @Darius @LeeSin, you two tell us. We’ll treat it like a story.” (Twisted Fate) added fuel to the fire.

“…” (Thresh)

The messages in the bottom left corner were distracting Wei Ming. During his lane phase, he got solo killed by the Renekton. Yang Haoran, playing Lee Sin, was just finishing his blue buff and on his way.

“Wei Ming, ignore those messages. Let them say whatever they want. If it’s too much, just mute them,” Yang Haoran said, noticing Wei Ming’s distraction.
