Chapter 41: I didnt wash my hair when I went out today! (1/2)

Thank you Noelle & Teddy for the Ko-Fi!

When the delicate victory was announced, Kang Shengzhe was not the only one who was surprised; You Liangxing did not expect to win in such a relaxed manner either. It was not because there were mistakes in Ah Sheng’s performance, but more so the fact that You Liangxing discovered the systemic steps he would have taken to restrain【KK】could be used on him.

Not only could it be used, it was completely applicable!

Initially, he did not hold much hopes in the methods he had researched and he only intended to focus his attention on playing a round with Ah Sheng, but he did not expect that after confronting him for the second time, the feeling of familiarity he perceived from Ah Sheng’s positioning only kept increasing. Thus, he tried those methods out, half-sceptic and half-believing, and took him down in an unexpected hitch.

The coincidence was too thought-provoking.

While You Liangxing was still surprised, Ah Sheng sent a message from his end.

— Come, solo.

— Gong Sunli.

To call out a hero by the name imitated You Liangxing’s previous actions. It was obvious that the other party was like him; unwilling to call an end to it because of a mere defeat. Quickly, they opened another match.

Throughout the night, You Liangxing played Gong Sunli endlessly. The both of them were in an impasse where he would go forward or the other would come knocking, and their wins and losses were stuck at fifty-fifty. The skirmishes they got into started dragging longer and longer, to the point where their last solo match required twenty minutes to complete.

It was about to be one o’ clock in the morning, and You Liangxing finally noticed the time. He typed: — You should sleep.

[don’t want to move]: — I should sleep but I don’t want to sleep.

The longer they were acquainted, the more casual their communication became. You Liangxing’s lips hooked up, and he directly replied with a goodnight before he used a finger to tap out of King’s Glory.

In less than two seconds, his WeChat sounded with a notification, and it was a message from Ah Sheng.

[Ah Sheng]: — You went offline so quickly? 〖Callous, Unfeeling, Deliberately Provoking〗

You Liangxing could not even reply before the next message came right after.

[Ah Sheng]: — Right, call me when you wake up tomorrow.

After seeing that message from [Ah Sheng], You Liangxing could not help but be curious, considering how the other party did not have the habit of getting up before noon. He asked: — Do you have something on?

[Ah Sheng]: — I’m running with you in the morning.

For people who liked to sleep in till noon to say that they wanted to wake up earlier was a strange matter. You Liangxing was fine with it because it was a habit he had instilled in himself since he was young, but he had witnessed the habits of a lazy person from Bai Yao and she was like a skin trying to hold itself up when she woke up early. Therefore, why did Ah Sheng propose to get up early for no apparent reason?

You Liangxing: — Why?

[Ah Sheng]: — Hm….. I’m afraid I can’t grow tall. 〖Burst into Insane Laughter〗

The chain of frenzied laughing expressions were all outside the scope of You Liangxing’s comprehension. Even after reading it the second time, You Liangxing could not understand what was so hilarious about that sentence. Thus, he fell back to his default reply when he could not get to the bottom of something: — Oh.

They exchanged simple farewells and You Liangxing placed down his phone, and his sleepiness gradually surfaced. He remained shut-eyed for a while before he abruptly picked up his phone again to download the application for MengMao TV.

This was the first time You Liangxing downloaded an app that had something to do with live broadcasting, and after it finished installing, he logged in with the account he had registered in the afternoon. He searched for the game anchor【KK】and proceeded to click follow.

Since his account was a series of numbers assigned by the system, You Liangxing changed it to his WeChat name of [Righteous]. Once completed, he turned off his phone and closed his eyes.

Drifting between sleep and consciousness, You Liangxing blurrily recalled Liao Su’s proud appearance as he was promoting the game anchor.

“Brother Liang, what I’m saying is true, ever since I started watching KK’s live broadcasts, I feel like my skill level has really risen! KK is the guiding lamp in my gaming life, he’s my mentor! My intimate friend! There are considerable gains to be had from his live broadcasts! Ahk2026; perhaps this is the magical workings of a Great God?”

Remembering that, You Liangxing felt like half of what Liao Su said was random bullshit but the other half… there was some logic to them.

Next morning, You Liangxing woke up punctually. His work-and-rest routine contained a will of steel, and his biological clock was more accurate than an alarm. He opened his eyes at that very instant and he held no attachment to his bed as he got out of it to wash up.

Just as he was washing his face, he remember what happened last night. He entered the chat that he shared with [Ah Sheng] and paused slightly before he typed: — Get up.

Although he had called him, he did not harbour much hopes when it came to the other party actually replying. He turned back and continued to brush his teeth. After he was done with everything, he picked up his phone again, and there was news from [Ah Sheng].

[Ah Sheng]: –〖Hand Raised High〗

He actually woke up.

You Liangxing: — … You really woke up.

[Ah Sheng]: — That’s because, I set ten alarms.

Even though he could not see the other party, he could feel a deep sense of pride oozing from his tone. You Liangxing: — Which alarm did you wake up to?

[Ah Sheng]: — Eleventh.

You Liangxing: …..

[Ah Sheng]: — The last alarm was my mom.

You Liangxing could hardly suppress a smile: — Change into a pair of running shoes.

[Ah Sheng] replied: — Changed, so sleepy.

Was he that sleepy? You Liangxing did not get it. He pushed the door open and headed out. The summer sun came out early; the sun might be bright but the temperature was refreshingly cool, and with the cool breeze blowing on face, it felt extremely comfortable.

You Liangxing wore the headphones made for sports even though there were no songs playing on it, which was something he did regularly to reduce the probability of someone talking to him while he was running. His daily habits were as such, but today was a little different because he could hear his WeChat notifications sounding as he ran.

The next message from [Ah Sheng] came in a panic: — What is this? What is this thing? Why is it so bright, ah, it even gives off light, I’m a little flustered.

You Liangxing was at a loss, and he could not help but reply: — What happened? What did you see?

A short while later, [Ah Sheng] sent him a photo. In the middle of the faint blue skies hung a dazzling signifier for tomorrow, and the white clouds were scattered around it. At a glance, it only seemed empty and solitary.

Nothing seemed awry with the photo, which caused You Liangxing to become more puzzled.

— What is in the photo?

[Ah Sheng]: — It’s the thing in the middle, the round and bright one. Wah, I’m terrified, what is that?

You Liangxing: …..
