"Qin Chuan, the company arranged it. I was forced to do it. I didn't do anything to let you down," Chi Yun said in a tactful, restrained tone.

Qin Chuan: "What about the paparazzi shot in the parking lot? How could the timing be so coincidental?"

Chi Yun fell silent.

Qin Chuan: "Your company told you to generate some buzz, so you decided to use me?"

Chi Yun was silent for a long moment. "I really do love you."

Qin Chuan said lightly, "I believe you. But your circle is a treacherous one, and the Qin family has no business in it. My face doesn't always work, and many people don't buy it. In fact, because of my existence, they might want to have a taste of you, since making Qin Chuan's girlfriend bow her head would be quite an achievement. Since you're not content with being ordinary and want to go further, you can only bow to reality."

Chi Yun's face grew paler and paler. Hidden under a thick layer of foundation, only her eyes revealed her despair.

She made no further attempts to save the relationship. Instead, she stood up without a word and left.

No sooner had Chi Yun left than another girl with black hair and snow-white skin sat down.

Whether the beauties Shen Rui found suited every man's taste was another matter, but at the very least, they were of an above-average level by popular standards. What's more, this one wasn't just pretty; the swimsuit under her satin dress couldn't hide her curvaceous figure. When she leaned over, the undulations of her chest were a magnificent sight.

"Hi, Nick, are you playing a game? How about we duo queue?" She had heard Qin Chuan's English name from Shen Rui.

For a high-quality man like him, even if he didn't deliberately try to strike up a conversation, many people would approach him on their own initiative.

Chi Yun had come from so far away, holding onto a final sliver of hope to save their relationship, only to return empty-handed. Before leaving, she looked back from a distance. Through the crowd of people, she could vaguely see an unfamiliar beauty taking her former seat, talking with Qin Chuan. He, however, didn't spare a single glance in the direction of her departure.

She silently severed the last thread of affection in her heart and left without looking back.

The beautiful streamer saw Chi Yun leave in a huff and felt a little apprehensive, but unexpectedly, Qin Chuan readily agreed and they even added each other on WeChat, which made her overjoyed.

She quickly added Qin Chuan as a friend, logged into the game, and started duo queue matchmaking, not forgetting to be modest.

"My duo queue rank is low. I usually play solo queue when I stream. Don't mind me if I drag you down."

Qin Chuan said, "I've also just started playing recently."

Stimulating Battlefield was known as 'eating chicken' due to a pun on its name. As the game swept the globe, basically everyone knew about it.

Players could be randomly matched solo, or in teams of two or four. And because the mobile version was more portable than the PC version, its popularity quickly multiplied and swept across the world. In the game streaming industry, Stimulating Battlefield was a huge piece of the pie.

Beautiful female streamers had it a bit easier than ordinary game streamers. After all, with the 'beautiful' prefix, even if the audience wasn't there for top-tier gameplay, getting a few more glances at a beautiful face was also a kind of enjoyment.

But no matter how bad her skills were, she was definitely better than the average player.

Xiao Yi was just such a game streamer.

When it came to confidence in beating Qin Chuan, she still had some.

Men, don't they just want a challenge? It was true for women, for their careers, and for games as well.

As long as she crushed Qin Chuan completely, she could pique his interest and make him come to her on his own initiative.

The two chose the island map.

The characteristic of this map was that it was large with scarce resources. If you didn't find a vehicle, even running from the zone would make your calves tremble.

If an enemy had an M24 with an 8x scope at this time, they could shoot you half-dead from the grass on the opposite hill.

Qin Chuan chose to land at the military base.

This place, also colloquially known as the airport, was a hotly contested spot for all players. Legend had it that those who made it out of here alive could basically make it to the final circle and secure a top-three finish.

Without him needing to say more, Xiao Yi immediately rushed into the nearest shipping container.

Unfortunately, her luck wasn't very good. In the nearby containers, the best equipment she found was a pistol. Not even a helmet.

Gunshots rang out one after another nearby. Clearly, someone had been faster than them in getting better weapons and gear.

This kind of game easily made one's heart race. Xiao Yi felt as if she were really on a battlefield, and her heart couldn't help but clench.

"Do you have a spare gun over there? Give me one, I'm coming to find you!"

She stole a glance at Qin Chuan's phone. He was already on top of the containers, sweeping for supplies.

Such a position was also the most dangerous, easily becoming a target for everyone. Qin Chuan soon had to jump down from the containers, his health having been shot down by half.

"Do you have a first aid kit?" he asked Xiao Yi.

"Yes!" Xiao Yi had just picked one up. Following the coordinates on the map to find Qin Chuan, she said, "Stay where you are, I'm coming to you."

A footstep indicator appeared nearby; two enemies were also running in their direction.

Xiao Yi was eager to show off in front of Qin Chuan. She immediately advanced instead of retreating, went up behind an enemy, and fired at their head.

The opponent was wearing a helmet, so she couldn't kill them with a single pistol shot. Before she could empty her magazine, more hurried footsteps came from behind, and Xiao Yi's screen turned red.

Defeated before she even got started.

Qin Chuan's sigh was heard, and Xiao Yi felt extremely embarrassed.

"One more round!" she said, gritting her teeth.

Second round.

Third round.

Xiao Yi, who had claimed she would carry Qin Chuan to a chicken dinner, died earlier than him every time.

Of course, Qin Chuan couldn't be called an expert either, but after being coached hands-on by Bo He a few times, he had actually made some progress and was even a little better than Xiao Yi.

In the last round, the two of them died in the final circle, placing third.

Meeting Qin Chuan's meaningful gaze, Xiao Yi had to speak up to defend herself and redeem the reputation of beautiful female streamers.

"My performance was a bit off today. Besides, I'm not the best player in the game streaming circle."

That was natural. When Shen Rui found people to hang out with, being pretty and having a good figure was enough. Who would care if their gaming skills were good or not?

Qin Chuan sighed. "Your skills are far too inferior compared to my master's. And she's not even a game streamer, just a casual player."

Xiao Yi smiled. "Is your master a man or a woman?"

Qin Chuan: "A woman, around your age."

Xiao Yi: "Then she's definitely not as pretty as me, right?"

Faced with such a coquettish question, it would be difficult for any man to say no.

But Qin Chuan was clearly an exception.

He retorted, "You think you're that good-looking?"

The beautiful streamer was left speechless and walked away, a mixture of shame and anger on her face.

Meanwhile, far away in Li City, Bo He let out a sneeze, neither big nor small. She looked up at the weather, feeling a bit strange.

It's not even cold today!
