T/L: The start for the VIP chapters, so this behemoth is 3x longer than usual! I’ll divide it into 3 parts~
Just a reminder, the next update will be on Monday.
Jiang Shi’s temper was completely smoothed out by a few words from Xie Xu. He was even in such a good mood after Xie Xu promised to come back early that he agreed to Jiang Lele’s invitation to duo queue.
However, that good mood was thoroughly ruined after a few games with Jiang Lele.
“No, Jiang Lele, it’s one thing to be slower than the opponent in providing support, but don’t you know to push the tower if you’re too late to help?”
Jiang Shi laughed in frustration. “What, are you leaving the tower standing as a historical monument?”
Jiang Lele guiltily explained, “I was just thinking you were getting dived under the tower, so I rushed down to help you…”
Jiang Shi, now staring at the black screen, saw Jiang Lele farming in the bot lane and said coolly, “Oh, so you’re helping me clear the minions?”
Jiang Lele awkwardly scratched his nose, “You were dead, right? Couldn’t let the minions just get killed by the tower for nothing, right?”
Jiang Shi let out a cold chuckle.
Then Jiang Lele understood what that chuckle meant. Jiang Shi, abandoning all fighting, would clear the minion wave and use his mobility to quickly run to mid-lane to steal Jiang Lele’s farm.
Jiang Lele, who had managed to climb to the top of the gold chart thanks to Jiang Shi’s minion wave, was now overtaken by him.
Jiang Shi, realizing he couldn’t rely on his teammates, transformed into a tower-pushing maniac and ended the game.
“When Yang-ge comes back, I’m going to suggest banning your Nuka,” Jiang Shi said with a straight face.
Jiang Lele, not convinced, retorted, “It’s because you didn’t cooperate with me that I couldn’t freeze anyone. You can’t blame it all on me!”
Jiang Shi’s unpredictable movements even left the enemy confused, rendering Jiang Lele’s CC-specialist mage completely ineffective.
Zhao Jiu, who was listening to their bickering, chuckled, “What did Lele do with Nuka this time?”
He still remembered how, in the last practice match, Jiang Lele had wasted Nuka’s ultimate on a jungle creep.
Jiang Shi glanced at Jiang Lele, “He Flashed and aimed his ultimate in the wrong direction.”
Even Yu Hui couldn’t help but laugh.
“Ahhhhhh! Back, even you’re making fun of me!” Jiang Lele punched him, “I’m just not good at using Flash with my ultimate yet!”
Jiang Shi responded perfunctorily, “Right, right, right.”
Just as he was about to leave the party, Jiang Lele quickly hit the start button, “Ge, please, just one last game.”1yes, Jiang Lele called Jiang Shi with “Ge”. JLL is the older one
Jiang Shi turned his head, “You said the same thing a few games ago.”
Jiang Lele clasped his hands together in a pleading gesture, “Please?”
If this were a random match, he’d be flamed even worse for playing so poorly.
Jiang Shi saw through his intentions, “Don’t worry, I’ll flame you in the next game too.”
Seeing the match was already starting, Jiang Lele felt more confident and muttered under his breath, “Hmph, who tolerates your bad temper?”
Before Jiang Shi could explode, Jiang Lele quickly started the livestream.
Jiang Shi’s angry words got stuck in his throat.
Yuan Yang had shared his plan with many members of Team Chat, suggesting that they stream more often while queueing with Jiang Shi, without revealing his identity but subtly bringing the conversation back to him.
When the time was right, he planned to announce it on Weibo and open a livestream account for Jiang Shi to have his first broadcast before the regular season.
Because of Jiang Shi’s sharp comments during the last livestream with Xie Xu, Yuan Yang had specifically reminded him to watch his words.
Once he gained popularity, any statement could be magnified and might eventually be used against him.
Jiang Lele remembered how Jiang Shi obediently agreed at that time.
‘Now that I’m streaming, Jiang Shi couldn’t talk or even type to flame me—haha!’
But four minutes into the game, when Jiang Lele went to bot lane to steal one of Jiang Shi’s minions, the keyboard beside him clattered.
[Team Chat] Don’t Look For Abuse: Jiang Lele, nice hand speed.
Jiang Lele puffed out his chest, smiling broadly.
Sure enough, after starting the livestream, Jiang Shi’s manners improved.
As he cleared the mid-lane minions, Jiang Lele chatted with the livestream viewers. “Why not duo with Back? He’s playing with Jiu-ge,” Jiang Lele said. “So who am I playing with?”
“Don’t Look For Abuse.”
Jiang Lele was also good at spouting nonsense.
He answered a few more fan questions, and by the time he snapped back to attention, his mid-lane minions were gone, with his team’s ADC rushing to the bot lane.
Jiang Lele was dumbfounded. “My minions!”
Jiang Shi had cleared his wave right in front of him?
After that, it became a pattern where Jiang Lele followed behind Jiang Shi, picking up scraps, never getting the full minion wave.
This odd behavior caught the attention of their jungler.
[Team Chat] Godslayer: Is mid and bot a couple? Why are they so close?
This comment sparked a wave of comments in Jiang Lele’s livestream chat.
[These two really have that vibe. Lele never acted this clingy when duo-queueing with Back.]
[Ugh, this hurts for the CP fans.]
[Is this a new ADC for TLG? Back is in danger.]
Returning to base to buy items, Jiang Lele felt both amused and exasperated at the comments. “If you eat CP2a way to say “shipping”. I’m not localizing it so the joke makes more sense. indiscriminately, you’ll get a stomachache.”
If it were possible to kill teammates, that Little White Hair would have taken him out first.
Still, he didn’t deny it outright — after all, shipping brought in views.
But in the next moment, Jiang Shi shattered the fans’ fantasies.
[Team Chat] Don’t Look For Abuse: Are you taking a nice, long soak in the fountain instead of joining the teamfight?
Jiang Lele: “…..”
He finally understood—when Xie Xu wasn’t around, this brat didn’t bother pretending at all.
Not even a livestream could rein him in.
[Team Chat] Godslayer: Looks like they’re not a couple. Meimei, don’t bother with this kind of guy. I’ll carry you to victory.
[Team Chat] Godslayer: If we win, can I see your legs? Make sure your skirt’s short.
He even sent a lewd, perverted emote.
Jiang Lele was stunned when he saw this message.
His in-game ID was [Lele Happy Every Day], so it wasn’t unusual for clueless teammates to mistake him for a girl. But this was the first time someone had made a lewd comment.
The livestream chat exploded with reactions.
[Ugh, where did this disgusting thing crawled from?]
[It’s the end of the season, so all the idiots are out. This guy’s brain is filled with nothing but yellow garbage. Does he get excited just by seeing a cute ID?]
[I’m going to DM him and curse him to death.]
[Lele-baobei, wuwuwuuu, I’ll hug you… Don’t bother with this kind of stinky scumbag.]
[Just block him. The more you respond, the more excited he’ll get. The stream might even get banned because of him.]
Jiang Lele, realizing a bit late, went to block the guy.
But then the sound of keys clacking came from the person beside him.
[Team Chat] Don’t Look For Abuse: Want to see your Dad3he uses the more casual/common 爸爸 instead 爹 like last time’s leg hair? How about that?
[Team Chat] Don’t Look For Abuse: If you don’t know how to respect others, Dad can give you a free lesson.
[Team Chat] Godslayer: What kind of idiot are you? You think I need your advice?
Then Jiang Lele heard a “tsk” from the person next to him.
[Team Chat] Don’t Look For Abuse: Don’t bark at me. I’ve been scared of dogs since I was little.
[Team Chat] Don’t Look For Abuse: Your breath stinks so bad, I can smell it from miles away. How long have you been pickling that mouth of yours? Is it tasty now?
[Team Chat] Don’t Look For Abuse: Also, don’t bother your teammates. We’re not vets, we can’t cure you.
The rapid-fire insults came so fast, it left the jungler stunned.
From Jiang Lele’s perspective, it was as if Jiang Shi’s fingers were moving so fast on the keyboard they were just a blur.
The jungler took several seconds to respond, but everything he typed was automatically censored by the system.
[Team Chat] Godslayer: You *****
Then Jiang Lele saw Jiang Shi move again.
[Team Chat] Don’t Look For Abuse: Jiang Lele, why are you just standing there? Block him.
[Team Chat] Don’t Look For Abuse: Block me too.
The rest of the message was not suitable for children.
Jiang Lele hurriedly blocked both of them.
In that game, Jiang Lele followed Jiang Shi around, listening to the sound of keys clattering like firecrackers, and picking up kills behind him.
The jungler, on the other hand, was so frustrated that he disconnected and went AFK.
Although they lost the match, Jiang Lele still felt satisfied.
The livestream chat was filled with praise.
[Even though I don’t know what he said, it was thrilling to watch.]
[If he can flame, he should flame more.]
[I timed it— that trash player didn’t last five minutes against this accompanying player.]
[It seems like he held back a lot when he played with Lion’s Juzi.]
[Now, I’m actually a bit excited about the idea of this guy becoming TLG’s new AD. He seems really interesting.]
[This playstyle really reminds me of a small streamer I know…]
But the last comment quickly got buried.
Because of the loss, Jiang Shi started another game with Jiang Lele.
Jiang Lele, now full of gratitude towards Jiang Shi, didn’t mind when Jiang Shi came to steal his farm. He even murmured, “Eat more, so you can dominate later.”
His eyes even carried a hint of affection when he looked at Jiang Shi.
Jiang Shi: “……”
[Team Chat] Don’t Look For Abuse: Mage, come and take the blue buff.
Jiang Lele’s face lit up, and he rushed over, joining Jiang Shi in invading the enemy’s jungle. “Sniff, I declare you the second-best person to me— right after Back.”
But before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Shi sniped the blue buff with a precise basic attack.
Jiang Shi glanced at him, his face clearly saying, “What are you even thinking?”
Above his hero’s head, a quick chat message popped up: [Thank you kindly].
Jiang Lele, who was humiliated on the livestream: “…….”
Ahhh! His grudge against this Little White Hair Devil was now irreconcilable!
[Haha, Lele’s gratitude instantly turned into resentment. I bet he’s cursing him out in his head right now.]
[This is the legendary Smile Disappearing Technique.]
[Fck, that “Thank you kindly” make me hallucinate of Time.]
[Right? Right? The playstyle is similar too!]
[Time is also a sarcastic jerk like that.]
[Ever since this playmate started being associated with TLG, T Bao has disappeared. It’s hard not to make a connection.]
Just like a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples, this comment set off a wave of speculation, and soon, Jiang Lele’s livestream was flooded with viewers sporting Time fan badges.
Seeing everyone’s guesses, Jiang Lele was the first to deny them. “You’re overthinking it. He’s not Time.”
He even used his Level 35 fan badge from Time’s livestream to guarantee that the two had no connection.
His silly nephew was sweet and charming, nothing like Jiang Shi, who was so fierce.
Fans familiar with Jiang Lele knew that his tone meant he wasn’t lying, so the speculation quickly died down.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shi also opened up Little Bear TV on his phone.
When Jiang Lele mentioned Time, he had sneakily entered Jiang Lele’s livestream with an alt account.
He hadn’t expected that after playing just a few games under the guise of an accompanying player, fans would start recognizing him.
Fortunately, Jiang Lele firmly denied the connection, and those who had previously thought he might be Time didn’t speak up again. Some even joked that it had been too long since they last watched Time’s stream, and they were hallucinating.
Jiang Shi then realized he hadn’t streamed in a week.
Yuan Yang had mentioned that he’d have to stream before the spring season, and at that point, he’d likely get a new account since the Time one couldn’t see the light of day.
The thought of abandoning it made him a bit reluctant.
If he didn’t stream, his fans’ Little Bear Coins would end up going to some other pretty face.
He decided to go to bed early tonight and have a good “talk” with his fans.
