Chapter 51: You're eighteen today, you can have whatever you want.
Lu Boyuan finally randomly chose a champion when the champion selection countdown was about to end. His voice was the same as usual. "Should be the case."
"..." Jian Rong was still covering his face, but he cracked open his fingers a bit so that he could see out.
The barrage was full of "hahaha," to the point that he couldn't even recognize the word anymore.
Normally, Jian Rong would never even call anyone "ge," let alone "gege." During those few seconds when Lu Boyuan went silent, Jian Rong had wished fervently that he could crawl into the crack on the corner of the tile underneath Xiao Bai's desk.
Jian Rong gloomily knocked back half a cup of cold water before he focused back on the game.
When Jian Rong saw Lu Boyuan's champion, he was startled. "You're playing Amumu?"
Amumu was the forgotten of the forgotten. Never mind how he hadn't ever been used competitively before, very few people chose to play him even during normal ranked.
This treatment was fairly consistent with Amumu's image. He was a champion that was crying even while using his skills, and his signature dialogue was "I thought you'd never pick me."
Lu Boyuan couldn't say that it was because he had picked randomly when time was almost up. Without batting an eyelash, he finished adjusting Amumu's runes. "Mn, I'm practicing the new strategy that we discussed earlier."
Jian Rong: "?"
All the TTC players and coaches who were currently watching the stream: "??"
What new strategy with Amumu? What kind of freaking strategy could Amumu even have?
A few moments later, Lu Boyuan spoke again. "...forgot that you were streaming. Forget it, it doesn't matter."
He acted too well, to the point that Jian Rong thought he had actually missed something before.
[Grandpa did you hear that? Amumu is going to enter the competitive arena!!!]
[Grandpa lifted his index finger with difficulty, shook it, and said: Don't believe or spread rumors.]
[Dumbass, can you not fish in troubled waters and just say something while acting spoiled? At the very least you should keep it up until today's stream is over, right?]
[Ai, really, I created Weibo accounts with all of my family's phone numbers to vote in that poll, just so that it could beat the dance option. In the end... that's it? Very disappointed, the streamer I'm a fan of is actually this kind of person.]
[This kind of half-hearted act... boring.]
[What's going on with the barrage... why is it suddenly so ??]
[This dumbass is open to coaxing but not coercion, so it makes sense that he's pretending.]
[I've been idling in your livestream room waiting for you to resume streaming for a whole week, and what did I get for waiting? Ai, the water knows if a fish cries, but who will know if I cry?]
"Why didn't you just say that you've been waiting in my livestream room since Pangu created the universe?" Jian Rong smiled fakely. "Stop making trouble for no reason, okay? How do you even act spoiled during this kind of normal dialogue?"
The water friends were long since prepared. Right after he said that, countless 'acting spoiled' vocabulary instantly filled the screen.
Jian Rong gave a cursory glance over them, and then... picked out a few of the water friends who sent those more unpleasant phrases and blocked them.
