Chapter Forty-Six: The Brother Next Door

“They were camping me…” Luo Yixia pouted, feeling terribly wronged.

Song Chengyi didn’t say a word.

But he proved his point with actions…

As soon as “first blood” appeared, Luo Yixia saw Song Chengyi take the enemy jungler’s head.

Immediately, the enemy jungler sent a message: [Your jungler and mage must be a couple, right? You stole my blue buff, I took it back, and you snatched it again right away. Was that really necessary?]

Luo Yixia felt a surge of delight in her heart—serves you right for bullying me.

Actually, the friends on the other end of the phone were also quite curious.

“Luo Yixia, are you dating? Is that your boyfriend?”

Hearing that through the phone, Luo Yixia felt a bit flustered…

But seeing that Song Chengyi said nothing, she immediately seemed to understand: “What are you talking about? He’s my neighbor’s older brother—I’m just visiting.”

“Oh, I see, that explains it. Your friend’s pretty good at the game.”

Song Chengyi, overhearing Luo Yixia’s words, raised his eyebrows slightly. Neighbor’s older brother? Visiting?

A faint displeasure stirred in his heart.

But it seemed all that displeasure was taken out on the enemy jungler.

Whenever the jungler appeared, Song Chengyi claimed his head, pushing him to the brink of collapse.

Even during the final wave, Song Chengyi dove the crystal to kill him.

After winning, Song Chengyi exited the game. Luo Yixia had no choice, said goodbye to her friends: “I’m done playing.”

“Why? We’re just getting started! Your friend’s so good—why stop now?”

“I have something to do, I’m done,” Luo Yixia replied, then quit the game and turned off her phone.

She then began to flatter him: “Wow, Song Chengyi, I never expected you to be so good at games! When I saw you were ranked gold, I thought you wouldn’t be very skilled, but you’re amazing.”

“What did you call me?” Song Chengyi glanced at her sideways.

“I called you… your name?” Luo Yixia didn’t quite understand what he meant.

“Aren’t I your brother?” Song Chengyi replied coolly.

Luo Yixia was momentarily stumped—it was true, he was the neighbor’s older brother. But their relationship was awkward now; how was she supposed to explain that?

Besides, many of her high school classmates knew Song Chengyi.

After all, Song Chengyi was the school heartthrob during high school, two years above her, but almost everyone knew him.

Even after he graduated, her juniors all knew who Song Chengyi was.

He had practically become a legend in their high school days.

Neither of them spoke any further.

Fortunately, Zhou Yun called Song Chengyi, saying there were too many things to carry and asking him to help.

Luo Yixia got out of the car with him.

Sure enough, she saw Yu Wenjing and Zhou Yun standing at the cashier, loaded with shopping bags.

“No way, what did you guys buy? Why so much?” Luo Yixia went over to help carry a few items.

“Don’t worry about what we bought,” Yu Wenjing replied mysteriously.

With that, the three finally made it home.

It had truly been an exhausting day, though it was Song Chengyi who did most of the heavy lifting, Yu Wenjing and Zhou Yun doing the shopping, and Luo Yixia just tagging along.

As soon as she stepped inside, Luo Yixia wanted to flop onto the sofa, but Mrs. Yu Wenjing called her over to fetch some water.

Though she wasn’t eager, Luo Yixia obediently brought out water.

Song Chengyi took a phone call and stepped outside.

Luo Yixia leaned against the sofa, watching the two mothers unpack their things.

They sorted out several bags, all filled with clothes for Luo Yixia.
