Those Sweet Times
Chapter 56 Part 1

Xiang Nuan, Lin Chuyan, and Oblivion played ranked matches that night. Lin Chuyan kept playing with Lu Bu the entire time.

Lu Bu’s attacking distance was farther than most other champions and could usually deal a sizable amount of true damage to the enemy. With good equipment, Lu Bu can cut down most of the champions with ease. Sometimes, Lu Bu can be played as archer.

Oblivion noticed that Lin Chuyan was cutting down everyone in sight with his halberd like a mad dog, in a complete blood rage.

This wasn’t the Lin Chuyan he had known.

How could he change so much when he changed positions from his usual mage position?

Lin Chuyan fought fiercely for a while, but the result was 0 kills and 5 deaths. Xiang Nuan and Oblivion were both stunned.

Oblivion asked Lin Chuyan: “What’s wrong with you?”

“I wanted to.” Lin Chuyan answered.

Xiang Nuan had a good habit while playing games-- --She never complained about her teammates. She thought it was quite normal for Lin Chuyan to behave this way since it was the first time that he had played Lu Bu. What she should do as a good teammate was to protect him.

Xiang Nuan was playing as Guan Yu, riding on top of a big horse. She kept a close watch of Lu Bu’s movement. Whenever she found Lu Bu in danger, she would hurry over to save him.

Sometimes, she would die trying to save Lu Bu.

“Run away, hurry.” Xiang Nuan said to Lin Chuyan before her champion died without regret

Lin Chuyan had mixed emotions about it, he didn’t really want to admit that he was moved by her gesture.

……

After the game, Oblivion messaged Lin Chuyan: Brother, are you being cucked?

Lin Chuyan: ……

Lin Chuyan: Why do you say so?

Oblivion: Green Bu.[1]

In this game, Lu Bu was sometimes playfully nicknamed as “Green Bu” by the players. According to the story of the game, Diaochan pretended to fall in love with Lu Bu while still caring for Zhao Yu. She even helped Zhao Yu set a trap for Lu Bu, almost killing him.

Seeing no response from Lin Chuyan, Oblivion thought he had hit the bullseye and comforted him: Let it go.

Lin Chuyan didn’t know how to respond: En.

Lin Chuyan continued cutting people down the whole night and finally the pent-up frustration he had throughout the day dissipated. After they finished, Xiang Nuan asked him: “Lin Chuyan, I had protected you all night, how are you going to thank me for that?”

Lin Chuyan asked in a low voice: “How do you want me to thank you?”

“En……” Xiang Nuan gave it some thought: “I don’t know either. Maybe sing for me?”

“Aren’t you tired of it?”

“No, I’m not.”

Lin Chuyan smiled and paused before saying: “How about I play the piano for you.”

“Playing piano this late at night, won’t you disturb the neighbors?”

“No, I won’t. There’s a piano room here, it’s soundproof.”

“Then play it for me. Play something that will help me to go sleep.”

“Alright.”



[1]: This is a play on words: In Chinese, Lu Bu's Lu/吕 and the character for green Lu/绿 have the same pronunciation, but with different tones. In Chinese we say a man that’s being cheated by his wife/girlfriend is wearing a green hat/带绿帽
