In this match, GI could be said to have won easily. Su Heng also used her skills to dispel the rumors of a free win. Overall, Shen Jianian was very satisfied with today’s game. After the match, when the two teams shook hands, Xiao Xin’s gaze never left Su Heng. The eagerness in his eyes made Su Heng feel a bit flustered.

Old Yu noticed and leaned over with his sturdy build, nudging Wave. “Did you see the way SLZ’s jungler looked at our girl?” he said, pretending to shiver. “I have goosebumps all over.”

Wave didn’t blink and replied lightly, “I didn’t see what kind of gaze he had, but his eyesight is definitely not great.”

Old Yu pouted. “To be fair, the girl is so beautiful; it’s normal for someone to like her.”

Before Wave could respond, Zhou Lingxing suddenly turned around and looked at them. “Do you think others can’t hear you just because you’re not wearing headphones?”

That successfully silenced Wave and Old Yu. It was finally Xiao Xin’s turn to shake hands with Su Heng. The boy’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he said, “Sleeping, you’re amazing! The damage calculation and prediction in the first wave were just too precise!”

After saying that, he felt it wasn’t enough and asked the girl, “Sister, let’s add each other on WeChat. We can duo queue sometime!”

The girl remained silent, but a hint of teasing glimmered in her eyes. After letting the boy feel nervous for a while, she casually said, “How can two junglers duo queue?”

Xiao Xin seemed startled by the girl’s sudden smile, gulped, and when he spoke again, he stuttered, “I, I, I can play mid lane!”

SLZ’s coach could no longer stand it and stepped forward to discreetly pry the boy’s hand away from Su Heng’s. He gritted his teeth and whispered to Xiao Xin, “You better watch your manners.”

Su Heng couldn’t help but laugh as she followed her team to the center of the stage to greet the audience. Looking at the fans cheering and screaming for them, it seemed that only at this moment did she truly feel the joy of victory.

Zhou Lingxing stood beside her and softly asked, “Does this feeling feel good?”

Su Heng looked up; the man who had just spoken was smiling as he waved to the audience, seemingly detached, as if the words just spoken hadn’t come from him. She waved back to the enthusiastic fans, mimicking him.

Finally, from a position where the man couldn’t see her, the girl nodded slightly. “It’s better than I imagined.”

Zhou Lingxing chuckled, and the fans below screamed even louder at his sudden smile. “Then let’s go to the global finals together.”

Someone had once said this to him, and now he passed the words on to her. Su Heng was taken aback and turned to look at him again. The man was still smiling, but this time she saw some other emotions in his eyes—like yearning, like hope.

It seemed that Zhou Lingxing had changed a bit. This was a conclusion everyone on the team had reached during this time. Ever since the match against SLZ ended, he would pull Su Heng to duo queue every day. Not only that, he even occasionally offered some pointers, making Wave and Old Yu envious.

Zhou Lingxing was someone who adhered to being a lone wolf; apart from occasionally bringing Wave along for some fun when he was in a good mood, it was a first for him to duo queue regularly with someone, surprising everyone.

One day, Wave couldn’t help but speak up after Zhou Lingxing and Su Heng finished a game. “Ling Ge, why don’t you duo queue with me for a few rounds?”

Zhou Lingxing, who was reviewing the output data right after the game, didn’t look up. “Aren’t you already duo queuing with Old Yu?”

It wasn’t that she deliberately abandoned the bot lane; it was just that after learning that the opponents had SLZ’s jungler and ADC, she guessed that Xiaoxin would definitely be lurking in the bot lane to ensure her own ADC’s development.

However, their bot lane had Wave to support them, which significantly increased the difficulty of the opponent’s gank, preventing Xiaoxin from having the energy to manage both the mid and bot lanes.

At this time, she only needed to ensure the development of her top and mid lanes, trying to stall until Wave finished his key items; there was a high probability they would win the team fight.

Everything developed just as Su Heng had anticipated, but she underestimated Wave’s rebellious feelings.

Ever since Wave realized that Su Heng had given up on the bot lane and that the first turret had been taken down, he lost interest in playing the game.

He wasn’t stupid; he saw the girl’s plan and understood that Su Heng just wanted to win this match. But he was unhappy about being the one who was sacrificed.

Didn’t she want to win? He decided not to let her have her way and wanted her to lose, after which he would give Xiaoxin his WeChat ID.

Thus, Wave began to give up on himself, diving into the jungle and not coming out again.

He farmed the bot lane minions and stole Su Heng’s jungle monsters, quickly accumulating several key items. But no matter how much his teammates signaled him, he refused to participate in the team fights.

Half an hour had passed, and Wave’s stats were still 0-3-0, which could be considered the worst data he had ever had while playing.

Even Xiaoxin, who was focused solely on winning the game, noticed Wave’s little scheme and happily typed.

“Bro, if we win this match, I’ll treat you to a meal!”

Wave coldly snorted to himself, thinking, “Do I care about your meal?” He just wanted to oppose Su Heng.

At 35 minutes in, the opposing team slowly approached the Baron River, seemingly preparing to start the Baron.

After contemplating for a moment, the girl finally put down her mouse and began to type.

“Li Weiyi, are you hungry?”

Seeing Su Heng typing in the game without directly speaking to him, Wave couldn’t help but feel surprised. When he saw her type out his real name, he exploded in anger.

His fingers moved, hitting Enter and sending a string of question marks.

GIWave: “？？？？？？”

Seeing that he had taken the bait, Su Heng raised her eyebrows.

GISleeping: “Are you too hungry to kill anyone?”

After she sent this message, her teammates all stopped their actions.

“Hahahahaha what the heck!”

“Hahaha I can’t take it anymore, I also want to ask, Wave are you hungry?”

“6666 screenshot taken, hahahaha!”

Seeing everyone laughing wildly, Wave’s temper flared, and he suddenly stood up and shouted at the girl, “Su Heng, what do you mean!”

Su Heng didn’t even look at him, casually saying, “I don’t mean anything, why are you yelling at me? Did I kill you three times?”

Zhou Lingxing had already finished the game and had been silently spectating for a long time.

Now seeing Wave blow up, he stood up and pressed the boy down, saying, “Just hit whoever bullies you; there’s no need for discussion.”

The boy wanted to struggle, but when he saw Zhou Lingxing’s uncompromising expression, he shrank back.

His face flushed red; in the end, he still angrily sat down, controlling his hero to head toward the Baron.

With Wave participating in the team fight, they easily achieved an ACE.

The few of them demolished the enemy’s mid crystal like a hot knife through butter and secured the game ten minutes later.

Only Xiaoxin remained on the screen, wanting to cry but having no tears.

Didn’t they promise to help him?
