From Sidekick to Bigshot

“Grandma Jian, do you really think this way?”

“Ahh, I understand that you’re worried about Yiling. However, it’s better for them to handle their matters on their own.”

Upon hearing those words, Cai Qinyue did not know what to say.

She knew that Grandma Jian pampered and spoiled Jian Yiling to oblivion.

If it were to be anyone else’s grandma in this situation, they would be incredibly anxious and worried!

Yu Xi was incredibly confused.

His family had arranged for him a blind date with a potential marriage partner.

He listened to his parents and headed over to the arranged location.

However, why was the person sitting opposite him Yiling?!

Jian Yiling’s small hands held a cup of milk. She quietly sipped on it.

“God Ling, could you tell me what’s going on?” Yu Xi asked. He wanted to know what was happening.

“I don’t know,” Jian Yiling replied. Although Jian Yiling did not know about the situation, she was still rather calm. She did not act surprised or panicked.

Her grandma had asked her to go. She didn’t tell her anything about who she was going to meet.

All of a sudden, Yu Xi had a bad premonition.

Did Grandma Jian and his father want them to go on a blind date? A blind date with God Ling?!

No way right?

Isn’t that a bit too much?

God Ling was like his younger sister!

He treated her as his own sister! And his father wanted him to go on a date with her? What kind of joke was this?!

“God Ling… I’m worried that our family plans to play the matchmaker for us!”

“Okay.”

“Wait… Don’t you find this situation alarming?”

“It’s okay,” Jian Yiling replied. She glanced at Yu Xi’s startled expression.

Then, Yu Xi said: “Ahh, well, let’s just eat together. Then, let’s go home.”

“Okay.”

As the two of them were eating, Yu Xi received a message from Zhai Yunsheng.

[Get on Zerg Invasion.]

When Yu Xi saw the contents of the message, he was about to cry with tears of joy.

“Oh my goodness! Master Sheng wants to play Zerg Invasion with me! It’s been so many years! He’s finally willing to play again!”

Three years ago, after Zhai Yunsheng returned to Beijing, he did not log into the game anymore.

He left Yu Xi alone in the cruel world of Zerg Invasion. Yu Xi kept losing games.

Yu Xi was decent at the game. After all, he also played in the Zerg Invasion tournament.

However, when compared to Zhai Yunsheng, there was still a gap in skill.

Without Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling carrying him in their games, the teammates that he was sometimes paired with made his gaming experience incredibly sad and difficult. In fact, sometimes, he kept losing games!

This made him doubt his own life.

“God Ling, let’s go and play games!” Yu Xi cried out. He wished that a computer could magically appear in front of him.

Either way, this “blind date” was not going anywhere.

Jian Yiling was okay with this. Thus, the two of them headed towards a nearby internet cafe.

[???]

As soon as Yu Xi logged on, he saw the usernames J10 and ZYS on the server leaderboards.

What was this situation?

When did they play games?

Yu Xi stared at the screen before he looked over at Jian Yiling.

“God Ling! Both of you betrayed me! You guys played without me!”

Yu Xi’s heart was breaking into pieces.

And thus, when they started playing, Yu Xi was still slightly upset.

Life was not kind to him. He was a lonely soul in the snow.

However, there were more shocking things waiting for him.

Zhai Yunsheng kept leading Zergs into Yu Xi.

He wasn’t even trying to hide the fact that he was intentionally drawing aggro to Yu Xi’s character.

And thus, Yu Xi’s character died.

He could only watch Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling in spectator mode. The two of them continued to carry him.

However, after a moment, Yu Xi realized that something was off.

Why was Master Sheng doing this to him?
