“What?! You’re telling us you two hugged and kissed, yet you’re still not an item?! Wait a minute! What’s this about a child?”

“Stop, stop, stop! Second Brother, has your brain completely short-circuited?! Do you even realize what you’re saying?”

“We slaved away for days to set up that incredibly romantic scene! And you’re telling us you didn’t even confess your feelings?!”

“Wu Di, what’s wrong with you?! Is that really the main point here?”

Within Dorm 503, Zhou Haochen found himself subjected to a fierce interrogation, his friends roaring accusations at him.

“Uh… yes, that’s correct.” After holding Bai Sha and watching the fireworks that night, he had simply gone home. “We really haven’t formalized our relationship yet.”

“Bloody hell!” Li Qingyu wanted to swear. “So, what about the child?”

“She’s our biological daughter.”

“Oh! I know!” Wu Di exclaimed, clapping his hands together.

Sun Weijie and Li Qingyu simultaneously gave him bewildered looks. “What brilliant insight have you stumbled upon this time?”

“An accident, a one-night stand, pregnancy, running away with the baby, rediscovering the father, and then rekindling their feelings. Second Brother, you’re practically the protagonist of a novel!”

Wu Di displayed a look of profound wisdom, simultaneously raising his index finger.

Then, Sun Weijie, the sole member of the dorm with a girlfriend, offered his perspective. “Honestly, your relationship has already gone far beyond just being a couple, especially since you have a child. You simply need to seize an opportunity to formally acknowledge it.”

Meanwhile, Li Qingyu wore an expression of utter resignation. “Second Brother, your love life is completely beyond my comprehension.”

Just then, another flash of inspiration struck Wu Di, and he declared loudly, “Oh! And this novel is definitely a romance novel for women!”

Li Qingyu turned his head, a look of indulgent pity on his face, as if he were addressing a child with special needs. “Third Brother, just promise me you won’t delete me from WeChat later.”

“Huh? Why? Do you want us to be brothers for life?”

“When you’re old, I’ll sell you health supplements.”

“With my intellect, I doubt I’ll need any health supplements when I’m old.”

‘Heh heh heh, with your intellect, you probably won’t even live to old age.’ ‘How did this guy even get into A University? Did he donate a building or something?’

That afternoon, when Zhou Haochen arrived at Bai Sha’s home, the little one was engrossed in *Naruto*, a clear sign of Bai Sha’s influence. ‘What kind of girl watches *Naruto*?’ he mused.

Beneath the LCD television, the gifts for both father and daughter were neatly arranged, while Bai Sha was busy live streaming in her room.

Zhou Haochen settled beside the little one. “Is this cartoon enjoyable?” he inquired.

The little one, eyes glued to the screen, merely nodded, considering it a sufficient answer to her father.

Zhou Haochen shook his head gently, choosing not to disturb the little one’s engrossed viewing. ‘She’ll certainly have plenty to talk about with boys her age in the future,’ he thought.

He took a seat at the small bar, opening his laptop. The work assigned by his senior had already entered its final stages, leaving him with little to do at the moment.

His mouse cursor wavered across the screen, ultimately settling on the *League of Legends* icon. ‘Since there’s nothing else to do, why not play a round?’

No sooner had he logged in than he saw Bai Sha inviting him to a game room.

The door to the room then opened, and Bai Sha poked her head in. “Are you playing games?” she asked Zhou Haochen.

Zhou Haochen gestured towards the little one on the sofa. “She’s so engrossed in her show, I didn’t want to disturb her,” he explained.

Bai Sha smiled. “Wait a moment,” she said. “I’ll invite you to play with me in a bit.”

Bai Sha quickly returned to her live stream, logged out of her personal account, and displayed the QR code login screen for all her viewers to see.

“Alright, brothers, I’ve got a mission: carrying a girl to higher ranks. Send me a bronze account, no other tiers, please.”

The bullet comments flooded the screen.

[Not really?]

[??]

[You’re bringing a girl now?]

[Qi Ge (your former support) tried to reach you, but you ignored him. So this is why—you wanted to carry a girl!]

[Girls are more important than brothers after all, Fox, you’ve changed!]

After logging into the viewer’s account, Bai Sha added Zhou Haochen’s game ID and sent him an invitation for a ranked match.

Having chatted with Bai Sha previously, Zhou Haochen had recently started playing *League of Legends*. Since Bai Sha mained AD Carry, he had also taken up the role and was currently in Bronze tier.

[If you, the reader, ever consider playing *League of Legends*, whatever you do, *never* play AD Carry, especially when solo queuing! And *especially* not as a beginner!]

“Hello, hello, hello! Can you hear me?”

As Bai Sha was live streaming, Zhou Haochen typed his response: [I can hear you.]

“I’ll jungle, I’ll jungle! I’ll carry you all the way to higher ranks!”

In District One, a Bronze tier match was quickly found. As they entered the champion select screen, the bullet comments gradually began to notice something amiss.

[ID: Fatal Weakness]

[You’re carrying a girl?]

[Why is ‘sister’s’ ID so… bold?]

[Is Fox giving up her role for someone else?]

Bai Sha instantly locked in Lee Sin, casually glancing at the bullet comments. “Is playing AD in the Chinese server even possible for humans?! I’ll jungle, and I’ll guarantee the carry!” she declared.

“AD sister, lie back and relax; big brother will carry you hard!”

Outside the room, Zhou Haochen couldn’t help but think: ‘…Is she always this wild when she streams?’

Zhou Haochen, meanwhile, selected Ashe, a champion often recommended for beginners.

Their random top laner picked Darius, mid was a Yasuo with a 20% win rate over 300 games, and support chose Shaco.

[For those unfamiliar with *League*, think of it as Dian Wei in top lane, Miyamoto in mid, Daruma in jungle, and Hou Yi as the marksman.]

‘Listen up, buddy, remember this: no matter your rank, even if Faker himself showed up, in a Bronze game on the Chinese server, you *have* to fight at level one!’

Bai Sha was merely bantering with the viewers when, moments later, Zhou Haochen’s Ashe and their Darius fell in the river. Fortunately, she arrived just in time to secure kills on the opposing AD and jungler, narrowly saving herself from being relentlessly pinged by her teammates.

“A Lee Sin starting 2-0?! What a glorious beginning! Everyone, cheer for the streamer! Applaud the streamer!”

Just as Bai Sha believed victory was assured, the following events unfolded.

[Our Darius has been slain.]

[Our Darius has been slain.]

[Our Yasuo has been slain.]

[Our Ashe has been slain.]

[Our Shaco has been slain by the Blue Sentinel.]

Bai Sha, having just cleared her first jungle camp, stared in disbelief: ‘??’

‘So *that’s* why Darius took Teleport,’ she thought, ‘he must have found walking to his death in lane too slow. And how did Shaco get solo-killed by a jungle buff? Is he even human?’

Finding herself out of sync with the enemy jungler, she decided to lend a hand to her “AD sister.”

“AD sister, wait for me! I’m on my way!” Bai Sha called out, initiating a gank on the bottom lane. Her teammates there, greedy for gold, hadn’t recalled, leaving both of them at half health. And with Shaco’s whereabouts unknown, they were still trying to take tower plates?

Bai Sha executed a flawless ward-hop over the wall, landing with a ground slam, and precisely landed her Q on the enemy AD. The opposing support, having already blown both summoner spells in the level one skirmish, could only portray the role of an “incompetent husband.”

He could only watch helplessly as Bai Sha kicked their marksman to death, then, in his futility, surrendered his own life as well.

“Wow! AD sister, you’re amazing! Your damage was perfectly timed; they would have escaped if it weren’t for you!”

Zhou Haochen, who had just managed five auto-attacks while two others had inexplicably failed to register: ‘Big brother, you are incredibly noisy.’

[All] xxx (Jinx): [Only knows how to call the jungler? fvv]

The bullet comments erupted.

[?? Is that a taunt??]

[Fox, get him!]

[Don’t lose face in front of the girl!]

Bai Sha chuckled softly. “Don’t worry, little sister,” she said first, “Big brother will protect you.”

Outside the room, Zhou Haochen paused to consider, then typed in the team chat: [Big brother is so amazing, little sister likes it very much.]

The bullet comments went wild.

[Holy cow, that’s the spirit!]

[Oh, big brother is so formidable!]

[Still 100% kill participation!!]

This ignited a fiery passion within Bai Sha. Every chance she got, she rushed to the bottom lane to “take care” of Jinx, effectively ganking the “child” to a score of 1/8/2.

As Bai Sha continued to gank, Zhou Haochen, quietly racking up kills from the backline to a score of 5/1/4, thought: ‘This game isn’t so hard after all! It’s quite simple!’

Ultimately, Bai Sha, despite having a Darius who was 1/9/2 and a Yasuo who was 1/13/1, managed to snatch Baron Nashor from the hands of the enemy’s super-fed mid and top laners, ending the game in a single decisive push.

By the end of the afternoon, their overall record stood at 10 wins and 1 loss, successfully boosting both the viewer’s and Zhou Haochen’s accounts to Silver tier.

Having ended her stream, Bai Sha sauntered over to Zhou Haochen, theatrically slamming his laptop shut. She then playfully hooked her index finger under his chin. “Tell me, little sister,” she purred, “was big brother’s jungling fierce enough?”

Zhou Haochen leaned forward, his lips softly meeting hers. “Incredibly fierce,” he murmured.
