Those Sweet Times

Chapter 21 Part 1

Lin Chuyan's voice was quite suited to sing “By the Lake Baikal.”

His voice was clear, pure, and soft.  The lyrics effortlessly flowed out. He

took his time to sing about a tender and lingering love.

Xiang Nuan closed her eyes and could picture the bright bonfire and the

moonlight reflecting off the lake.

It was such an appropriate song to hear on a windy and chilly night.

When Lin Chuyan finished singing, Xiang Nuan was still immersed in the

world by the Lake Baikal.

It was silent on the voice chat. Neither of them spoke. She could hear Lin

Chuyan breathing after the song ended, it was as light as a breeze.

Lin Chuyan spoke: “Get on the game. My roommates are back.”

Xiang Nuan was reluctant to come back to reality: “I don't feel like playing

tonight. I want to hear you sing.”

“One song a day, don't push your luck.”

“Hmph.”

Xiang Nuan logged on.

Lin Chuyan had turned on the speaker. Xiang Nuan heard Zheng Dongkai

say: “Chuyan, we want to hear you sing as well.”

Lin Chuyan: “Ok, I'll go buy Gao Jianli.”

Zheng Dongkai: “......”

The champion Gao Jianli in Kings of Glory was a rockstar who carried a

guitar and sang when he encountered the enemy.

In the end, Zheng Dongkai didn't let Lin Chuyan buy Gao Jianli. He felt that

Lin Chuyan had been playing Daji quite well and there was no need to switch

to other champions. For people who just started playing these kind of games,

it was better to stick to one champion instead of switching around. Otherwise,

they may never get enough experience with any one champion to play well.

Zheng Dongkai had checked Lin Chuyan's champion pool. He thought Lin

Chuyan was silly to waste his money on various champions.

The five of them started playing a game. Their line up was still entry level

champions, except Xiang Nuan's Zhang Fei. The players at this level were

more interested in killing to earn more money and didn't fully understand the

importance of support.

Lin Chuyan had played Daji for a few days and began to resent a champion

named “Ah Ke.”

Ah Ke was quite sneaky; her ultimate allowed her to close in on the enemy

in stealth, catching the enemy in surprise. The most annoying part was that

whenever Ah Ke attacked the enemy from behind, she would always. .h.i.t her

mark.

Ah Ke was an a.s.sa.s.sin, good at killing. Whenever she saw a champion in

low health, she would use her ultimate to quietly get behind the enemy and

kill them. After each kill, Ah Ke's ultimate refreshed and she could go back

into stealth to find her next quarry.

It was really sneaky.

For weak champions like Daji and Luban, it was always trouble if they

encounter Ah Ke while they were not protected by other champions. If they

turned around to flee, Ah Ke could strike at their backs. If they mustered their

courage to confront Ah Ke, they still couldn't overpower her.

It was death whether they ran or not.

Because of Ah Ke's special ability, it had become the most popular a.s.sa.s.sin

in the Kings Valley. From high ranked players to low ranked players, everyone

loved playing her.

Dayu had Luban as his champion and Luban always s.h.i.+vered when the enemy

camp had an Ah Ke. He had to keep reminding Xiang Nuan: “Xiang Nuan, you

stay with me. I'm scared.”

“Daqiu, don't be afraid.”

“It's Dayu……”

“Dayu, don't be afraid.”

Lin Chuyan also said: “Xiang Nuan, stay with me.”

Daji also needed protection.

Sometimes, Xiang Nuan couldn't be at two places at the same time. Then she

would speak very gently to Lin Chuyan: “You be careful yourself.”

Lin Chuyan would lightly hmph in response.
