Update: Shushengbar is still inaccessible because I still cannot get hold of the owner 😦 I’ll keep on trying and hopefully everything can be saved and will be back to normal soon.
After the storm, life is back to normal for our OTP or is it?
I’ll enclose a picture of the heroes in the game and some information when he or she was first mentioned in the novel. If you’ve forgotten and the hero is mentioned again later, you can check back previous chapters.
Chapter 21
Qiao Jing Jing felt sourness in the heart, but she knew that she was not angry.
But she didn’t want to admit it.
Yu Tu stood up. Only after a while, he spoke, the voice was a little hoarse. “You did not reply me in WeChat, so I come to ask whether you still need me to teach you?”
Qiao Jing Jing bit her lip and moved her head to the side. “I also used some inappropriate words that day. Please help me to apologize to your teacher.”
“I already have.” Yu Tu said, “The teacher’s wife even sent me a message a few days ago to ask me whether my friend Jing Jing is that celebrity Qiao Jing Jing.”
“……Oh.”
Nothing to say again.
“When I was not around, you played the game very well.”
“You also knew.” She was a little peeved.
“I saw your accomplishment in your history last night.” He sighed and asked: “So do you still need me?”
Qiao Jing Jing felt that he was practically forcing her, but she was unable to say the word don’t need. She has no choice but to say in anger: “The strange components you ordered from Taobao had finally been received. You wrote my home address but the mobile number is yours. Luckily the property management collected them on our behalf. Don’t tell me you’re going to leave them in my house and not bother with them?”
Yu Tu said: “I want to sort them out.”
Humph!~
Qiao Jing Jing appeared rather reluctant: “…t hen come up and eat first.”
“Need me?”
……of course not.
Yu Tu laughed, “I will come over tomorrow. After taking the train for the whole night, I smell very bad now.”
Train for the whole night?
Only then, Qiao Jing Jing noticed his disheveled appearance. His clothes were crumpled, his hair was a little messy and he has bloodshot eyes.
She was really angry now. “You… took the train for the whole night, yet come here to play game!”
“Ya, fortunately I brought the portable charger, otherwise not enough power.”
Qiao Jing Jing simply did not know what to say. She was obviously angry, but also seemed to secretly feel a hint of happiness in the heart. She glared at him for a while, finally admitted complete defeat and said unhappily: “I’ll get the driver to send you back.”
“You’re not allowed to decline. Don’t go to the subway to assail other people’s nostrils!”
Yu Tu did not decline.

Qiao Jing Jing was a little preoccupied for the whole afternoon, so her standard was unstable. Hence after ten consecutive victories, she gloriously descended into eleven-game losing streak. Before going to bed at night, netting out the losing and winning games, her ranking returned to Diamond Star 1.
… She lost all the points that she had gained from playing duo queue with Yu Tu.
Qiao Jing Jing seriously pondered about her fate —— could it be that she was fated to advance to the king level by playing solo queue only?
Qiao Jing Jing was rather dejected whenever she imaged the possibility of Yu Tu having a disappointing expression in the eyes tomorrow. As a result, the moment Yu Tu arrived on the next morning, she handed her mobile phone to him and preemptively said: “Look, I’ve lost ten stars.”
She looked rather proud, making Yu Tu nearly thought that he had heard wrongly. Perhaps she said she had gained ten stars in playing solo queue?
He took her mobile phone to confirm —— she really lost ten stars.
“Proud of it?”
“It is the problem of the matching mechanism, the probability of losing after a winning streak is very high.” Qiao Jing Jing defended herself, “Moreover, I have 5 MVP (Most Valuable Player) for the defeated side.”
Yu Tu lowered his gaze, his slender fingers moving across the screen. He just stood at the doorway and looked through the statistics from her playing solo queue yesterday.
Qiao Jing Jing stood next to him and pretended to look at the mobile phone together, but she could not help but secretly stole glances at him and looked at his serious demeanor.
Welcome back, teacher Yu.
“What happened in this game resulting in Shou Yue’s DPS (Damage per second) is only 16%?”
… That was right, coach Yu.
“There is support problem!” Qiao Jing Jing quickly shifted the blame. After that, she didn’t look at the coach again but stared fixedly at the mobile phone. Once some unsightly data appeared, she quickly quibbled before he has a chance to speak.
Yu Tu listened but did not respond until he finished looking at the data. Then he returned the phone to her.
Qiao Jing Jing asked: “Afterwards, should I continue to play solo queue? Or you’ll take me to play duo queue?”
“I will take you.” Yu Tu said in a straightforward manner.
Oh, teacher Yu, how come your character changed drastically after going on your work trip.
“Did something good happened on your work trip?” Otherwise, how come he has become so considerate and kind.
Yu Tu took off his coat and was about to hang it up. Hearing what was said, his action stilled for a moment.
Qiao Jing Jing didn’t notice and asked him something she has just remembered: “By the way, where did you go on your work trip? So sudden, very serious matter?”
“Xi’an. I can’t say more because of the confidentiality requirements.” Yu Tu hanged up the coat properly, turned around and his appearance was already like usual.
“So strict, can’t even tell a family member?” Qiao Jing Jing curiously continued to ask further. After asking, only then she realized that her words were ambiguous, so she quickly added, “Assume… I am not saying about me.”
“No.”
“That’s so boring, without any topic of conversation.” Qiao Jing Jing sighed without thinking the matter through.
“Probably.” Yu Tu’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as he walked inside. “Let’s get started.”

The house was a bit hot. Qiao Jing Jing didn’t like to wear too many clothes. When the temperature dropped a few days ago, she immediately switched on the heater for the whole house. Hence the indoor temperature was a few degrees higher than before the temperature drop. Halfway through the first game and taking advantage of Qiao Jing Jing selling him out at the river, Yu Tu took off his sweater, leaving only a white shirt on.
The characters in the game have not been revived, his gaze quietly fell on Qiao Jing Jing. Probably because the floor was warm, she did not sit properly on the sofa, but sat on the carpet barefoot with her mobile phone. The white long woolen carpet, the delicate cinnabar toenails and the long jet-black hair spread out. In his fuzzy memory, it seemed that it has always been like this beautiful and delicate. But at the moment, it was also unexpectedly moving.
And when she looked up and looked at him with a confused expression, everything was becoming more vivid.
“Why are you remaining motionless at the spring…” She remembered something and her expression immediately turned a little embarrassed. “I didn’t mean to sell you…”
“I know since I trust you.” He calmly moved his line of sight and turned his attention back to the game. “Catch up with me to go to the opponent’s jungle area to get red BUFF (a temporary boost to one's stat).”
“Okay.” Qiao Jing Jing happily caught up with his Li Yuanfang (marksman) to go to do thing together.

Yu Tu played a little differently today compared to before, especially fierce, constantly invading and suppressing the opponent’s jungle area and using heroes not commonly used such as Li Yuanfang, Han Xin (assassin/ warrior), Bai Li Xuan Ce (assassin) and the like. The rhythm was soaring and each game ended very quickly. To her surprise, she returned to the king level ten stars faster than yesterday.
Li Yuanfang
Bai Li Xuan Ce
Then he put down his mobile phone, looked at the time and said, “You play by yourself for a while, I will go and fix the projector.”
…why there was a kind of —— “Look, these are the stars I (imperial use) shot down for you. Go and play by yourself and lose as many as you wish” feeling?
Qiao Jing Jing quickly banished this kind of unreasonable way of thinking, took her mobile phone, followed him to the home theater and squatted at the side to monitor him fix the projector.
"How long is needed to fix it?"
“Very fast.”
“The final will be three days from now. If you can’t fix it, we will sneak into the venue to watch it?”
Yu Tu lowered his head to remove the components, “Do you actually want to go or not?”
“Depend on your level of achievement?”
“… don’t disturb me displaying my skill.”
“Oh.” Qiao Jing Jing shut up, looked at him at work for a while, then sat down on the carpet nearby to play solo queue.
She chose Luna (mage/warrior) because Yu Tu played with Luna in the previous game. Looking very handsome, one against five on the opponent’s home base, made her eager to give it a try.
Luna
However, after two team battles, she regretted until she wanted to cry. Luna was really very difficult to play. People were “unlimited success under the moon”. Whereas she was probably “unlimited emptiness under the moon”?
Initially, she still wanted to persevere for a little while. Although her teammates did not say anything unpleasant, the opponent’s Su Lie (warrior, tank/ support) began to say bad things and yelled at the garbage to surrender quickly. In anger Qiao Jing Jing immediately foisted the phone on Yu Tu.
Yu Tu was rolling up the sleeves to remove the components. He did not even have time to wipe his hands, a 0-4 Luna was foisted on him.
The person who foisted it on him also angrily requested: “Beat up the opponent’s Su Lie who is always ridiculing me.”
Yu Tu looked at her currency, “I can’t him beat up now.”
However, when he met Su Lie, he still positioned himself to toy with him a bit and then left through the wall.
This was actually not Yu Tu’s style. In his own words, this was considered a waste of effort.
Normally, teacher Yu will simply not waste time doing this.
Qiao Jing Jing's gaze moved away from the screen of the mobile phone and quietly landed on his face.
She inexplicably felt that the Yu Tu who came back from his work trip seemed to have become a little gentler and even a little more indulgence towards her?
She was unable to pinpoint any specific details, very subtle. Perhaps Yu Tu also didn’t realize it himself.
But she just felt.
Even eager for action.

She wanted to test the water.
“Yu Tu, can I use your mobile phone to play games in the next few days?” Qiao Jing Jing suddenly asked him.
Yu Tu looked up at her from the game screen. Qiao Jing Jing’s eyes were bright with a readily available reason, “During the competition, I’ve to use a specific mobile phone which is the same brand as your mobile phone. The model is also fairly similar, so I want to practice how it feels.”
Yu Tu nodded, “The password is xxxx. Go to the living room and take it yourself.”
Gave her an inch, and she wanted a mile.
“Did you add the high school classmates group?” Qiao Jing Jing already took the mobile phone and asked a question, already knowing the answer.
“Yes.”
“I didn’t add … a bit curious as to how they are now. Can I use your WeChat to look at their Moments (social networking function of smart phone app WeChat)?”
Yu Tu said faintly: “Moments is for friends to look at and you are also their classmates.”
Hey ~ The key point was not whether people let her look or not, but to use his WeChat.
Qiao Jing Jing turned her eyes: "Everyone?"
In his heart, Yu Tu could not understand why she was carefully probing. He wanted to say “I also have not seen, what do you want to see?”. But in the end, he just did not lift his head and continue playing the game, as if he had responded like normal.
Qiao Jing Jing sighed, this person totally did not understand her key point ah ~ ~ ~ forget about it, he did not understand can also be considered good. Looking at Yu Tu using Luna to help her take revenge, she decided to return the favor and helped him to win a game with his account.
As for Moments, it was just hot air. She was too lazy to look at it.

In fact, Qiao Jing Jing had used Yu Tu’s mobile phone to play ranked match on the first day. Of course she has also used it afterwards, but only to play games. For the first time, she unlocked the phone herself, as if she had received some kind of permission and his world was completely open to her.
She resisted the urge to flip through everything in his mobile phone. She easily found the King of Glory app, clicked open and began to play a ranked match.
After playing for a few minutes, Xiao Zhu's phone call came in. Qiao Jing Jing was busy so she pressed the hands-free on her mobile phone.
Xiao Zhu's voice came through the phone.
“Jing Jing, the brands you are endorsing have sent you birthday presents. There are three big boxes, should I get the driver to bring them up?”
Qiao Jing Jing was about to agree but suddenly remembered teacher Yu who was beside her.
Oh ~~
She wanted to send teacher Yu on an errand ~
“Wait a minute.” She said to Xiao Zhu, and then smilingly looked at Yu Tu. “It is not very convenient for the driver to come in. Teacher Yu, can you please go to the elevator and help to bring them up?”
Teacher Yu immediately went downstairs to bring them up. Qiao Jing Jing was holding the mobile phone to play game while waiting at the elevator door.
When the game was pushed forward to the opponent’s home base, the elevator door opened. Xiao Zhu was holding a small box whereas Yu Tu was moving a big box. The two came out one after the other. Qiao Jing Jing glanced inside the elevator and there were still two huge boxes inside.
She felt a little strange: “Which brand sent me gifts so far in advance and so many?”
“Every year B home also sends more than ten days in advance.” Xiao Zhu replied, “Oh, these three big boxes are not from them. Those are clothes, bags and shoes that you asked people to purchase on your behalf last time and they’ve been sent here together. Aiya, they’ve arrived very timely because you can mix and match just in time for the competition in a few days time."
Qiao Jing Jing’s hand shook and a head was lost.
“…didn’t you say they are things from the brands I am endorsing?”
Xiao Zhu held up the small box in her hand. “This one.”
Qiao Jing Jing: “…..”
The teammates successfully destroyed the opponent’s crystal, and the two big words “victory” appeared on the screen. But Qiao Jing Jing’s heart was desolate…
She numbly put away her mobile phone, walked to stand in front of Yu Tu and intended to help him. Yu Tu made way for her. “Let me do it. It is a bit heavy.”
Oh……
Can it not be heavy? ……. she did not know how many pieces of clothes were stuffed into a box…
Why did she want to go through so much trouble… Why not let the driver sneak them in and let it be…

Yu Tu moved three big boxes into the house. After closing the door, Xiao Zhu was still chattering continuously: “Jing Jing, your wardrobe for autumn and winter clothing is too packed. I’ll sort out those unsuitable clothing bought previously. Many of the labels have not been removed. Divide them like before? Also send to Pei Pei.”
Qiao Jing Jing: “…”
Very good, revealing more details of her extravagant spending!
She wanted to know why her assistant has such low emotional intelligence (EQ)?
Her back was facing Yu Tu so she silently said “shut up” to Xiao Zhu. She can be considered astute as she immediately stopped talking. But why was her lips pursed up so tightly and the eyes opened so widely at that moment?
… Who taught her such exaggerated acting?
Qiao Jing Jing really wanted to deduct her salary.

“Very good.”
Suddenly Yu Tu’s low voice can be heard from behind.
Qiao Jing Jing turned around to look at him and suspected that she has auditory hallucinations. Was this spoken by that teacher Yu who said that she was enjoying the dividend in this society?
Seeing her puzzled look, Yu Tu smiled.
He thought it was very good.
Just like this, feeling happy every day, dressing up beautifully, carefree and without worries, things could not be better.

Yu Tu left a bit early, at a little over six o’clock today.
He walked out of Qiao Jing Jing’s house, made a long phone call, and then bought a cup of hot coffee by the side of the road.
He stood by the side of the road and drank slowly for a long time.
The coffee became cold very quickly.
But this was probably the normal temperature as there was no warm room, no sly smile.
He threw the coffee cup into the trash can and flagged down a taxi.
