Shiina Mahiru's face showed signs of disappointment at a visible speed; her eyelids drooped, and her once bright and beautiful caramel color became somewhat dull and lifeless.
The girl lowered her head slightly, as if trying to hide herself. As she lowered her head, her flaxen hair fell on both sides of her face, like a soft veil, covering her face and making it difficult to see her expression.
Oh no! Su Qing is in grave danger!
Help! I teased a girl and ended up hurting her feelings. What should I do?
Urgent! I am the King of Urgency!
Su Qing's heart suddenly skipped a beat, her face turned panicked, and her words were visibly flustered:
"Oh, oh, oh, I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have teased you. Shiina, don't be sad. If you're not sad, I'll do anything you ask!"
"Can he really do everything?"
A light, airy voice came to her ears. Su Qing was flustered and didn't have time to think carefully before she nodded and answered.
"Of course, I'll do anything, Shiina-sama!"
"It's settled then~"
Then, Su Qing witnessed a scene she would never forget.
The girl suddenly raised her head, and there was no trace of the disappointment on her face.
Shiina Mahiru gently raised her hand, her fingertips weaving through her long, flowing flaxen hair, the movement both elegant and casual. With a slight twist of her wrist, a few strands of hair were cleverly tucked behind her ears, revealing her fair, jade-like earlobes and her eyes, which held a hint of cunning.
Anti-fraud app! I need your help!
This isn't an angel at all; it's clearly a mischievous little devil from ancient Greece, right?
The girl remained unchanged, her eyebrows curved, her smile radiant, showing no remorse whatsoever for her prank.
Sure enough, Su Qing is really cute!
/
As expected, Shiina Mahiru is a little devil!
Chapter 30 Su Qing's Little Angel (1)
"Hey, Shiina, are you really going to play this?"
"Hmm? Could it be that Su Qing was lying to me when she said she would listen to everything I said?"
"That...of course not."
"That's right, just listen to me and keep going."
"But……"
"But what?"
No, whatever makes you happy.
……
Oh, merciful God, Su Qing felt that he must visit ancient Greece in his lifetime, and then kick those Egyptian pharaohs who guarded the pyramid seals hard in the buttocks, questioning them why they did not keep a close watch on this dangerous little devil with the appearance of an angel, and let her drift to this distant Eastern country, so that he has now fallen into this damned trap!
However, is there any necessary connection between God, ancient Greece, and the Egyptian pharaohs? Su Qing is neither a historian nor a philosopher, so he doesn't know.
But Su Qing was clearly a fighter, at least in the game Street Fighter, so all he knew was that the girl's Street Fighter skills were really terrible!
This is torture, it's just too much torture. Based on his years of experience playing games on Baidu Tieba, Su Qing knows that when playing games with girls, especially the less skilled ones, you have to let them win. The most important thing about playing games is to have fun!
But
Dear Shiina, what can I say when you play such an awesome character like Ken like this?
Ah, no! Stop, stop! How did you manage to turn Chun-Li into Sakura Haruno? Hurry up and connect the combos! I said connect the combos!
Forget it, Shiina, this game isn't for you. Come here, your brother Su Qing has some fun things for you to play (mischievous grin).
rustling
Ding ding ding—"Baby's Glory"
Hey, just play this character called Xiang Ye. You don't need to worry about the first or second skill. Just walk up to the enemy and get hit. When you're low on health, just unleash your ultimate skill. It's easy to operate and you can instantly kill 90% of the time.
Good heavens! Shiina, you really have a talent for games! Given time, you're sure to achieve great things!
Huh? No, Master Xiang is over the limit. If he's over the limit, he should use it to rank up, understand?
……
“KO!”
As the game sounds came from the screen, Shiina Mahiru cast a somewhat resentful glance at Su Qing.
"Hey Su Qing, why have you been standing still since the beginning?"
Su Qing shuddered, then immediately perked up.
Hey, Su Qing, what are you doing? It's not time yet, what are you so energetic about? Get down here, get down here.
Da Suqing was somewhat embarrassed. He put down the controller, pointed at it with one finger, and clutched his chest in pain with the other, his face contorted in agony. He then exaggeratedly expressed his regret:
"No way, what a crappy controller! It doesn't even do the buttons. We were so close to beating Shiina, what a shame!"
"Wow, that's amazing! This is the first time I've ever seen someone as talented as you, Shiina!"
This is...
This is actually not a lie!
Case solved
Su Qing had never played Street Fighter with anyone, nor had he ever been to an arcade or internet cafe to see others play Street Fighter. He had always honed his mindset by playing single-player and his skills by playing against AI.
Therefore, Shiina Mahiru was indeed the most talented Street Fighter player that Su Qing had ever seen besides himself in the mirror, without exception!
"Of course, you had a great time, but don't do it again next time, okay?" Su Qing thought to herself, but her face remained expressionless, and her eyes remained sincere.
"Well, it doesn't seem that fun. I was just curious because I saw people having a lot of fun playing it in arcades when I was a kid."
Shiina sat cross-legged, feeling somewhat tired. He slowly put down the handle in his hand, then gently raised his arms, his fingers slightly bent, as if embracing the entire room.
As her arms gradually rose, her upper body slowly leaned back, revealing a captivating curve in her waist and showcasing her toned yet supple waistline.
At this moment, her figure was perfectly displayed, exuding both strength and grace.
At the moment she reached her limit, she let out a soft, satisfied sigh, and then slowly returned her body to its original state.
Unfortunately, Su Qing was not fortunate enough to enjoy this beautiful scene. To be precise, he was immersed in some kind of Eastern fantasy called "I deserve to die".
Unexpectedly, the game that even an orphan like Su Qing played to death was something that our former Shiina could only dream of. I suppose her biological parents must have had very high and strict expectations of her.
After all, even a game like Street Fighter isn't something people are willing to let their kids play a couple of rounds with.
Yes, it's no wonder that Shiina lives alone. She must have had a very difficult time before, and now she must have finally managed to leave that oppressive environment.
Despite having no parents and not having a particularly good life in the orphanage, she didn't have the kind of adorable childhood companionship you see in novels, nor did she grow up to be a stunningly beautiful girl who would call him "brother" all the time.
But that's okay, Shiina-kun, what you love is what you are...
Hey Chen, don't switch channels!
This time, Brother Su Qing will definitely help you get back everything you've lost!
……
One hundred points! One hundred points! The reasoning process was completely wrong, yet the culprit was identified by mistake. Edogawa, the all-powerful elementary school student who is also a death god, said, "Why did the heavens create both Ke and Liang?" Even General MacArthur said that if he encountered "Detective Su Qing" on the battlefield, he could abandon the mission and run back to his village.
For a moment, Su Qing's gaze towards Shiina Mahiru carried a hint of complexity.
Three parts sympathy, three parts relief, three parts indulgence, and one part unwavering support.
-
Let's rewind to the time when Su Qing fell into the trap set by the little devil.
"Is there something Shiina wants me to do?"
"Well, actually no."
Shiina Mahiru also started to think, her ring finger poking her chin, her little head, which seemed to be dominated by intelligence, tilting slightly, giving her a not-so-bright appearance.
But Su Qing had already learned his lesson once, so he knew perfectly well that this was all a demon's disguise. High-level demons often use an angelic face and make such a deceptive gesture to lower people's guard.
But the moment you let your guard down is the moment you fall into the trap!
But we Sigma men will never be fooled!
"Can Su Qing play that game with me for a bit?"
Shiina Mahiru seemed to have discovered something and said with some interest.
"Okay, which one do you want to play?"
Su Qing looked in the direction Shiina Mahiru was pointing and saw the white card "Switch Controller" that he had obtained from sorting through "initial resources" over the past few days.
Girl, you have good taste. It turns out that demons and such are all lies, right?
Oh my, I never thought that I, Su Qing, would one day have a beautiful girl begging me to play games with her.
Oh? You even chose Street Fighter? Okay, okay, let me teach you how to play!
And so, the nightmare began.
……
Time returns to the present.
Su Qing suddenly turned around to face Shiina and said sincerely, "Shiina, actually this game is quite difficult for beginners, and not many people play it anymore."
"Huh? Is that so!"
Shiina Mahiru was somewhat surprised; she had thought this game was very popular, which was why she wanted to try it out. Then, looking hesitant, she said:
"So, what are people playing now?"
Su Qing snapped her fingers and confidently spoke:
"It's simple. Let me tell you about the game that all the young people are playing—Egg Racer. Not only is it easy for beginners to pick up, but it's also incredibly fun. I'll show you a couple of rounds and you'll see."
"No (?▽?)"
Chapter 31 Su Qing's Little Angel (2)
Egg Waffle Gray Car is a fun and educational game suitable for children aged 8 and up. Its cute and charming art style has won the hearts of many children. It is easy to operate, can cultivate teamwork skills, and is both fun and competitive, promoting the development of thinking. Many college students with nothing better to do play it secretly, even if they don't say it outright.
Huh? (Panic-stricken)
I didn't ride the Egg Waffle Grey car! (Pale-faced)
They snatched my phone and uninstalled Eggman's Car app (sarcasm).
No, please, please let me play one more round of Egg Waffle Car! I'll do anything you ask! (Clings to legs and begs desperately)
……
"Wait, why are they all throwing props at me? Do they even know how to play games?"
Su Qing watched as the top three finishers completed their laps and reached the finish line. Dejected, she put down the controller, lay back on the floor, and stared at the ceiling, questioning the Elo system.
Su Qing, stand up! Although the top three have been decided, there are still fourth and fifth place winners. The outcome is still uncertain. Keep running and you will be your own number one!
What? There are only four tracks, right? The top three finishers are determined by the results, and the fourth-place finisher isn't even qualified to finish. That's fine then.
Su Qing is scum!
So, who's really winning this game?
At this point, the screen has reached the results screen, and the champion standing in the very center is none other than the character controlled by Shiina. Because of the color of his flaxen hair, which is similar to Shiina's, we will call him - Little Yellow!
Shiina Mahiru put down the controller and couldn't help but laugh at Su Qing's expression, but she laughed reservedly, covering her face with her slender hands, so Su Qing...
Therefore, Su Qing felt as if she had suffered 10,000 points of true damage from a critical hit.
The girl then added a sigh.
"This is really fun! It's the first time I've ever played such a fun game."
This is...
This is indeed true. After all, the first game I played was Street Fighter, which I just played. This Egg Racer is the second game I've played, and I even got first place several times. How could it not be fun?
Shiina Mahiru was beaming with pride. Her big, beautiful eyes were fixed on Su Qing, who was lying to the side after being bombarded by props several times. Her eyes blinked, her hands clasped together, her fists clenched upwards, as if she was eager to try again and again.
