Book 1: The Return of the Lost King
Chapter 21: A Good Cabbage Shouldn’t be Destroyed by A Pig
From inside the room, the woman could hear laughter from time to time. Sometimes, she could even hear the girl anxiously yell phrases like, “pull me, pull me, quick!”[1]
When the woman rushed into the room, she saw Yang Qian Qian was only playing an online game. She was relieved, but the voice from the other end made her suspect that there was something going on between the two young people. She further confirmed her desire to invite that boy over for dinner or something.
It was important to make sure the boy had good character. As the aunt, she had to watch out for her niece!
……
They played three rounds in the morning; winning two, losing one.
In the afternoon, Yu Luocheng was even more skilled at controlling Thresh. He worked together perfectly with Yang Qian Qian and they won every round except for one when their own internet went down.
Yang Qian Qian was having a great time playing. Yu could tell that she truly loved playing League of Legends.
It seems that there resided a little devil inside every girl, just like how every man had some aggressive nature in him.
In the middle of their games, the little devil fully manifested itself. There were several times when they destroyed their opponents bot to utter worthlessness, Yu Luocheng felt sorry for their enemy and wanted to give them a break. However, Yang Qian Qian would always resolutely raise her gun and eliminate the enemies!
A champion worth 6300 gold was reduced to the same value as a siege minion; it was simply too inhumane!
……
After a whole day of playing, Yu Luocheng was quite skillful at controlling Thresh by now. He planned to sneak in a few more games at night this week. Maybe by next week he would be able to play ranked with his old partner.
In terms of skill, Yu’s old partner was much stronger than Yang Qian Qian. Yang lagged behind in almost every aspect of playing the game.
Nevertheless, it was still quite pleasant to play with Yang Qian Qian. But Yu still wanted to challenge the even better players. It could only be for amusement when playing with a beautiful girl. He still needed to focus on playing ranked in order to increase his strength.
“I’m so hungry.” After playing for the whole afternoon, Yang was tired.
“Let’s go eat then.” Yu said, he was hungry too.
“No one’s at home……” Yang said.
No one at home ? ? ? ?
Was she dropping a hint on him?
Did it mean that, just within one day’s time, he had won her over with his personality?
Yu Luocheng understood instantly!
“I’ll go over. Hei hei hei.” Yu hurriedly said.
“What are you thinking of? Gross. I meant there’s no one at home to cook for me!” Yang grumbled in a flirtish manner.
“Uhh……” Yu paused then reacted quickly to explain, “I meant I will go to your house to cook for you.”
Yu exhaled a big breath after he finished; he had almost exposed himself as a pervert.
“I’ll cook myself. Thank you for playing with me today. I haven’t had this much fun for quite a while.” Yang politely said.
“Haha.” Yu didn’t know what to say and just laughed it off. Then, he felt that “haha” didn’t sound right so he added, “It’s my pleasure to play with a beauty.”
“I’m going to do homework tonight, can’t play. See you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.”
“I’m getting off.”
Yu still liked to chat a bit more with Yang, but Yang had already turned voice chat off.
……
Yang needed to do homework, so did Yu.
Each week during his senior year, he could only happily play games at Saturday night and Sunday during the daytime. The rest of time, they were under heavy pressure.
An endless amount of homework used up the whole six hours between dinner and midnight, he was exhausted.
Lying on the bed, as he was relaxing, Yu Luocheng suddenly began looking forward to college life.
He heard that in college one could go to classes freely, date freely, and play games freely.
TL: Well if you try to be an engineer like me that’s not true at all… :<
If that was true, Yu thought then he could go to some classes and go back to the dorm to play ranked comfortably. When he was tired, he play with Yang Qian Qian for a few rounds if he had the time, or even by that time they were close enough to go eat, watch movies together…...Yu Luocheng would be very content with a life like this.
The more he thought about it, the more Yu wanted to go through the last 100 days of senior year as fast as possible. Afterwards, he would be able to experience an unrestricted, free college life!
……
No matter how good the weather is or how well one feels, if it’s Monday morning then everything sucks.
TL: So true.
Yu Luocheng walked into the classroom with sleepy eyes as usual.
He casually glanced over the classroom and found that many of his classmates were looking at him with great interest.
Yu stood stupefied, there was something fishy going on.
As soon as he put down his backpack, several people surrounded him.
“We heard that you crushed room 3!” Sun Yang was the first one to come up.
“Yeah.” Yu nodded.
“Darn it. I didn’t go watch that night. I heard those from room 3 were beaten so badly!” Another one said with exaggeration.
“Hei hei, Yu dage[2], teach me how to play Blitzcrank. Today, I’ll buy dinner!” A guy who had just started playing LoL said.
Everyone began to talk all at the same time about the game with room 3 that night.
“Hey, everyone go away, everyone go away!” Wang Qin waved his hands and made those who had surrounded Yu back away.
Yu Luocheng was not used to this kind of attention, he was thankful for Wang Qin.
Yet at the moment, a sneaky smile appeared on Wang Qin’s face. “Did you see Yang Qian Qian home that night?”
“Yes.” Yu nodded.
“Then?” Wang Qin asked.
“What then?”
“Stop pretending. Tell me her address already!” Wang Qin slapped the table.
Yu Luocheng got the chills. Was this guy going to stake out at her home?
There was no bush to hide; you would be discovered for sure!
Yu didn’t know the address either. He told Wang Qin the rough location and sent him off.
Yu actually had Yang’s telephone number but didn’t want Wang Qin to bother her, he certainly would not tell him the number.
As for Yang’s home address?
Yang had told him yesterday that it was her aunt’s house…...if Wang Qin liked to stake out there then let him be.
Yu Luocheng certainly wouldn’t be so stupid as to tell Wang Qin this important information.
A good cabbage shouldn’t be destroyed by a pig![3]
[1]: There’s a pun here that doesn’t translate well. ‘Pull’ here in Chinese is ‘拖’ or ‘tuo’ but the Chinese written was ‘脱’ also pronounced ‘tuo’ which means to ‘take off.’ So her aunt thought she was saying ‘quick take off [my clothes].’
[2]: He’s trying to flatter Yu by calling him 大哥 (‘da ge’) or ‘big brother.’
[3]: This is hard to explain… basically a Chinese idiom where a perfectly round cabbage would be destroyed because a pig eats by plowing its snout into the cabbage.
