Chapter 375: Leisurely Playing Games

The setting sun hung above Xishan, casting a sky full of evening glow. When Shen Yan opened his eyes again, two hours had already passed. This time, he truly felt a soft, warm, delicate body in his arms.

Turning his head, what came into view was a head of pink-brown hair, and a faint fragrance rushed straight to the tip of his nose.

It was actually Chen Shanni!

The good girl had now learned to take the initiative to crawl into a man's bed.

Looking at the lovely person sleeping soundly, Shen Yan did not disturb her; he withdrew his arm and quietly slipped out of the room.

He hadn't cooked for a long time, so he prepared to show off his skills today.

While he was busy with dinner, Chen Shanni, who felt like something was missing, woke up faintly from her sleep and discovered that Shen Yan's figure was long gone from her side.

The bed still held residual warmth.

He must have left not long ago.

Chen Shanni picked up the knitted cardigan on the chair nearby and draped it over herself. Upon going out, she saw the kitchen, and those knife skills as smooth as flowing clouds and water.

This level of proficiency was something she estimated she wouldn't be able to reach for years to come.

Chen Shanni rolled up her sleeves, stepped forward, and smiled prettily, "I'll help you wash the vegetables."

Shen Yan asked her how she slept; Chen Shanni said it was quite good, and now she felt refreshed.

Afterwards, the two of them busied themselves with dinner together.

Seeing dishes she wasn't familiar with, Chen Shanni would perk up her ears and listen carefully to Shen Yan's instructions.

With men and women working together, the work doesn't feel tiring.

Half an hour later, three dishes and one soup were served on the dining table.

Then they called Wu Yue'er, and the three of them ate dinner happily together.

While Wu Yue'er was tucking into her food with great relish, she said, "Shanni, Shen Yan built a tennis court for you in the villa; it's so beautiful."

"Really?" Chen Shanni's pretty face lit up with joy, her eyes looking at Shen Yan with tender affection, and Shen Yan smiled lightly.

A big house has the benefits of being big; entertainment facilities can be built at will.

Then Wu Yue'er said that the son of the Wanda Group lived next door to the villa, with tens of billions in the family waiting to be inherited, which left even Chen Shanni dumbfounded.

In truth, she didn't know much about her own family's situation, and Chen Jun had never revealed how much their family was worth. Chen Shanni only knew her father was an investor, but she had no way of knowing exactly which industries he had invested in.

However, it definitely couldn't compare to the massive Wanda Group.

Speak of the devil, and the devil appears.

Just like that, Shen Yan received a message from Wang Sicong: "Do you have time tonight? Let's play together!"

With nothing to do, Shen Yan agreed directly.

Half an hour later, Shen Yan logged into his game account and pulled Wang Sicong and Wu Yue'er into the YY voice chat. Wang Sicong usually played top lane more often, Shen Yan chose the jungle position, and Wu Yue'er served as the mid-laner.

Three people certainly couldn't play ranked, so they could only play the normal match mode.

Because the rank gap was vast—Wang Sicong was equivalent to a Platinum rank in later times, while Shen Yan and Wu Yue'er were equivalent to Master rank—the game backend generally adopted a balanced matchmaking system.

This resulted in Wang Sicong's opponent being a Diamond player, whose Jax was played with such vigor that within five minutes of the start, he had pinned Wang Sicong's Pantheon to the ground and rubbed him into the dirt.

He couldn't even get the minion waves.

The gaming experience was terrible to the extreme.

As another wave of minions entered the tower, he hurriedly summoned help: "Shen Yan, come quickly, the opponent is going to tower-dive me."

"Coming!"

"Hide under my tower and act like you're struggling."

Looking at the Pantheon with only one-third of his health bar, Shen Yan maneuvered Xin Zhao to hide in the brush diagonally behind. The next moment, Jax's killing intent flared, and he jumped up directly with his Q skill to output damage.

And he used his E skill, Counter Strike.

It could not only reflect damage but also cause a stun effect upon hitting the enemy.

At the same time, the defensive tower caught onto Jax's malicious intent, turned its muzzle, and fired blazing cannon fire.

Wang Sicong, this Platinum player, wasn't a pushover either; he used Pantheon's W skill to stun Jax. At the same time, Jax's E skill second stage activated, and both sides were stunned in place together.

By this time, Shen Yan had already arrived at the scene. He used his Q skill to stab twice in a row, and with the damage from the defensive tower, Jax's health dropped rapidly. Jax knew he couldn't run away.

The best result would be to trade for Pantheon.

Wang Sicong clearly knew this too, so he used Flash to create distance. Jax followed with Flash, his W skill ready to go.

However, before the damage could erupt, Xin Zhao's E skill lunged, and at the same time, he used the third stage of his Q skill, knocking Jax into the air. Then, Pantheon threw a spear, ending Jax's life.

"Bang!"

The sound of Wang Sicong slapping the table came through the speakers, mixed with irrepressible excitement.

"Awesome! Still wanted to tower-dive me? Let's see if you're still so arrogant now."

He didn't forget to heap praise on Shen Yan. This move by Shen Yan was so detailed; he had calculated that Jax was holding onto his Flash, so he deliberately didn't use the third stab. When the timing was right, the knock-up effect extinguished Jax's thought of continuing to output damage.

No wonder his rank was so high; there were details everywhere.

At the same time, a kill notification came from the mid-lane; Wu Yue'er had solo-killed the opposing Twisted Fate.

This rhythm was stable!

Shen Yan checked that the opponent's Summoner spell was Teleport, then looked at Pantheon, who had leveled up to five from the kill, his health bar restored to one-third.

"Don't recall yet. Wait for Jax to Teleport over, and we'll kill him again," Shen Yan said with a wicked smile.

At the same time, he maneuvered Xin Zhao to hide in the corner brush.

"Hehe!" Wang Sicong understood, unable to help but reveal an insidious smile.

He could already imagine the scene of the opponent getting so angry they would slap their keyboard in a moment.

Beside him, Wu Yue'er couldn't help but giggle: "Hubby, you're so mean. What if they get so angry they smash their computer?"

"Who cares!"

A few seconds later, a red rotating light shone on the minions; the Teleport skill had already been activated.

Enemies are especially red-eyed when they meet, and since you, Kayle, have so little health left and still haven't gone home, do you really think I can't kill you? Thinking Shen Yan had already left, Jax didn't say a word and, relying on the speed bonus from the boots he just bought, chased straight after.

Q skill Leap Strike, followed by E skill Counter Strike.

Pantheon used W Aegis of Zeonia, and both sides were stunned simultaneously.

Shen Yan walked out of the brush at the right moment and used his E skill Audacious Charge to stab repeatedly, and Jax met his end on the spot once again.

In a fit of rage, the opponent started spewing foul language and all sorts of profanities in the chat window.

Wang Sicong was blooming with joy, "Serves you right! Now that I've got two kills in hand, let's see how you can still be arrogant."

This is how a game should be played to be satisfying.

In the time that followed, Shen Yan operated Xin Zhao to roam the entire map, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, with a jungling rhythm so terrifying it was impeccable, easily securing victory for the match.

After the match ended, Wang Sicong clicked on Shen Yan's personal profile and discovered that his game win rate was actually as high as 90%, while Wu Yue'er's win rate was 65%.

Don't look at the fact that Shen Yan's rank points couldn't compare to Wu Yue'er's; his true gaming skill level was like a chasm apart.

This record is that of a true master!

The game matches were in full swing, and after playing seven games in a row with 6 wins and 1 loss, the one they lost saw all three lanes collapse simultaneously; even though Shen Yan, this firefighter, ran his legs off, he was unable to turn the tide.

After all, this is a team game.

As the night grew deeper, Shen Yan indicated that they should stop playing for today and that it was about time to rest; Wang Sicong was still somewhat unsatisfied, simply because these few matches had been truly enjoyable.

But he didn't insist on his own way, instead saying: "Then let's leave it at that, let's play together again another day."

"Mm!"

After exiting the voice chat, Shen Yan picked up the carton of milk on the side and sipped it contentedly, then sent a message to Chen Shanni: "Are you asleep?"

The other side replied in a second: "I slept too much during the day, so I can't fall asleep right now."

Immediately after, under Wu Yue'er's resentful gaze, Shen Yan slipped away into the neighboring Chen household.
