Damn it, I'm surrounded by childhood sweethearts-Chapter 551 - 386. Love the Suction

"If there are no objections, then let's start playing. Everyone, log in!" Xu Qingfan happily announced.

"Let's start the game!"

"Are you playing, Yu, or is it you, Brother Fan? I want to try jungling!" Xiao Ruawen's voice came through the speakers.

"You guys play, I don't know how," Wu Lingyu reflexively shook her head.

She preferred watching Brother Fan concentrate on the game rather than playing herself.

"Then Brother Qing Fan, play bot lane, please. I'll support Brother Qing Fan as the healer, and Yiyi's Zhao Xin top lane is also very impressive!"

"Ratatata!"

Even through the screen, Xu Qingfan could imagine the cute image of Wanning clicking away with her mouse as if it were a gun.

"Okay, I'll join you bot lane," he said with indulgent laughter.

"Hehe, Brother Qing Fan, you're the best!"

"Hahaha!"

Lin Wanning's joyful laughter came through the speakers, along with the laughter of the others.

Unhappy, Xia Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and began operating the mouse with one hand to connect to a VPN.

In the original timeline, the Chinese server was probably in open beta by this time.

But in this life, due to Xu Qingfan's intervention, Riot Games and Penguin had back-and-forth negotiations over the agency rights, and it wasn't until recently that they had signed a memorandum.

Knowing the potential of this 'golden goose,' he obviously didn't want to let others benefit without compensation. In the end, he negotiated a quite favorable revenue-sharing percentage, while the most valuable rights to League of Legends remained in their own hands.

"Brother Qing Fan, why is your avatar still black?"

Lin Wanning's voice interrupted his thoughts, and Xu Qingfan snapped back to reality, saying, "Here I come, I just forgot to connect to the VPN."

He quickly created a room and added the four of them to the team one by one. Unlike over a decade later, when one might have to wait seven or eight minutes to match a game, back in 2011, as soon as he clicked to start the game, the pop-up asking whether to accept the match appeared almost instantly.

After the first and second players banned their champions, Xiao Ruawen instantly locked in Amumu, followed by Xia Xiaoxiao who, without much hesitation, chose Kasadin.

"Xiaoxiao's Kasadin, haha, this game we can just lie back and win!" Xiao Ruawen said cheerily.

Xia Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow confidently, "Just give me the second blue buff."

"I'll give you the first one!"

"Brother Qing Fan and I are pretty amazing too. Brother Qing Fan, what combo are we playing?" she asked as soon as the opponents finished choosing their champions, with her and Xu Qingfan's turn approaching.

"Wanning, which do you think is good?" Xu Qingfan's mouse hovered between Ashe, Twitch, and EZ, undecided about which to play.

"Brother Qing Fan, you play Ashe and I'll go healer!"

"Okay... huh?.... Oh, right, Ashe, Ashe." The dog-ish man displayed the reaction speed of a pro player, locking in Ashe at the last second before the countdown ended.

"Ashe it is, Brother Fan, why are you so excited?"

"Eh~ That's not right, hang on, Brother Fan, you pervert!!"

"What?"

All four girls expressed their confusion simultaneously.

"What's up, Ruan Wen, what are you talking about?"

"Yeah, who knows what she's on about," Xu Qingfan stated earnestly.

"Your Ashe and me as healer, Brother Fan, you're really dog-like!"

"Eh... Hahahaha!"

"Just because you have dirty thoughts don't smear me. Wanning plays the support, I play Ashe, is there a problem?!"

"Brother Qing Fan playing Ashe... and I'm the support?"

"Yes!"

"And you still claim you don't know martial arts!"

"Hahahaha!"

...

After spending a pleasant two days at home, on Sunday afternoon, everyone packed up and set off for school again.

Back at school, their group of six would be scattered once more.

Even though streaming different classes had achieved what Xu Qingfan had initially envisioned, he no longer held any expectations for the 'choose one out of five' situation.

Just the actions of Lin Wanning, Zhang Yiyi, and Xia Xiaoxiao alone made it impossible for him to choose one out of the three, especially after this weekend when Xia Xiaoxiao hinted more than once about the new house's rooftop they hadn't visited together yet.

Anyone but a fool could guess what she meant.

[What's with that tiny bit of hope?]

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, what's that screenshot you posted in your QQ space? It looks a lot like DOTA. Is it fun? We want to download it too!"

"Yeah, is it fun? We want to try it out!"

Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang's Q&A pulled him back from his fantasy to reality, and Xu Qingfan gave them a disdainful look, feeling that these two rascals were once again trying to snoop for the seniors.

But thinking back to the memories of the three Swordsman battling in the canyon in his past life, Xu Qingfan still said, "It's called League of Legends, the national server hasn't started public testing yet; we're playing on the American server."

"Damn!"

"Doesn't that mean we can ride foreign horses and flirt with foreign girls?"

Seeing Xiao Ruawen and Wang Xuan looking at them with disdain, Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang immediately stopped their boorish behavior and said with a sheepish laugh:

"Ah haha, just kidding. I mean, we can team up and practice speaking English, so we won't be scared when it's time for the oral English exam in the college entrance exam~"

"Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant too."

Xu Qingfan chuckled and shook his head, "You guys just wait a bit longer. The national server should be online in a few months. Just play on that. Otherwise, it would be a waste to spend a couple hundred bucks on an accelerator."

Wang Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you playing that game, Ruan Wen?"

"Hehe, yeah, my Amumu is super good. Let's play together when the time comes!" Xiao Ruawen saw through the other party's thought instantly but chose not to expose it for the sake of not being alone in high school.

"Sure!"

Just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly caught sight of the class teacher hurrying over and Wang Xuan immediately fell silent.

Reminded by those around them, the other students also stopped talking, and the classroom quieted down instantly.

"Huff, huff... Qingfan, come with me to the principal's office, the rest of you continue with your evening self-study," Guo Youcai said, panting and propping himself on the metal door.

Xu Qingfan nodded, even his toes knew what it was about. He had thought the principal wouldn't want to see him until Monday at the earliest, so he hadn't expected such urgency.

He patted Xiao Ruawen's head, got up, and quickly followed the class teacher out of the classroom.

"Wow~"

Once his figure had completely disappeared, a significant buzz of conversation erupted in the classroom.

"Why does Brother Fan have to go to the principal's office?"

"Oh man~ It can't be that he did something bad, right?"

"Cut it out, could it not be something good?"

The classmates whispered and discussed among themselves, only Xiao Ruawen felt triumphant inside, for she was the only one in the class who knew the truth of the matter.

"Ruan Wen, why does Brother Fan have to go to the principal's office?" Wang Xuan asked curiously.

"Yeah, tell us!"

Xiao Ruawen showed a meaningful smile and whispered in a hushed voice, "I'll tell you quietly, but you can't spread it around!"

"Tell us, tell us!" several leaned in closer, matching her quiet tone.

"That's because..." Xiao Ruawen deliberately paused for effect before continuing, "Brother Fan... he helped an old lady cross the road, and it turned out to be the principal's mother!"

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha!" came the triumphant laughter of girls reveling in a successful prank.
