Chapter 147: You Would Die with Dignity
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It’s still early. Let’s go play two rounds of LOL.” At the entrance of the computer laboratory, Qiu Jingtai was seen dragging Jiang Jiu in excitedly.
The “singing competition” had finally come to an end and the two of them had rushed over to the building immediately after that. The computer laboratory closed at 11.30 pm. It was only 9 pm at the moment so they did have enough time to complete two games.
As they were picking their seats, the two of them suddenly noticed a familiar figure.
“Damn! Luocheng, you sneaky b*stard!” Qiu Jingtai walked over with a wide grin as soon as he recognized his roommate.
Jiang Jiu’s palm had also fallen on Yu Luocheng’s shoulder as he smiled curiously at him.
Bai Feifei heard the two guys and turned her head toward them, peering at them but saying nothing.
Her hair slid down from her smooth forehead and fell in front of her breasts. Feifei’s beautiful side profile had Jiang Jiu and Jingtai’s mouth both simultaneously turned into an ‘O’ shape.
“Ba… Bai Feifei!” Jingtai and Jiang Jiu yelled almost at the same time. They looked at Luocheng and Feifei in absolute disbelief.
‘How is it possible? The two of them… are having a fling?’
‘How and when did Luocheng manage to win the goddess’s heart without anyone noticing?’
If those playboys who had failed repeatedly to approach Bai Feifei found out that Luocheng had obtained the “first blood”, they would surely go mad!
“I’m leaving,” Bai Feifei said lightly.
“Okay,” Yu Luocheng nodded.
She stood up, and her perfect curves that were visible under her form-fitting white jeans immediately caught the eyes of Jiang Jiu and Qiu Jingtai.
“Idiot, get up and walk her back!” Jiang Jiu pulled Luocheng up forcefully and whispered (more like yelled) into his ear.
“Oh, right…” Luocheng, who had still been clinging on to his thoughts of Shallow Dream, only then realized how rude he was for letting the lady walk back alone in the dark after Bai Feifei had walked out of the room.
“Help me pay the fees, I am leaving first.” Luocheng had lost the mood to play anyway so he decided to return to the dorm. He wasn’t in the mood to play any non-challenging games with newbies like Jiang Jiu and Jingtai.
Not long after Luocheng had left, Jingtai completely ignored the “fees” part and sat in Luocheng’s seat decisively. He started to play around with the computer, not forgetting to refer to Luocheng as a “son of a b*tch” and a “lucky b*stard”.
“Eh, he was playing LOL just now. He forgot to log out of his account,” Jingtai said.
“What? Don’t tell me he was here to accompany our course’s goddess to play LOL?” Jiang Jiu mused.
“I don’t think Bai Feifei was playing. Let me check this loser’s result. Hehe. Maybe he has a lower rank compared to me,” Jingtai clicked on Luocheng’s profile picture on the top left corner, intending to check out Luocheng’s level.
“F-Hawk. What a lame ID. Is he trying to be a westerner?” Jingtai laughed crassly as the rank status of the ID was revealed. His smile faded the instant it came up however.
Jiang Jiu moved closer to the screen upon seeing the expression on Jingtai’s face and he too was startled when he saw that F-Hawk had recorded 1962 League Points!

Luocheng caught up to Bai Feifei’s and said with a sincere smile, “Let me escort you back to the dorm.”
“There will not be necessary.” Bai Feifei was as unfriendly as always.
“I can’t leave you alone. Unescorted girls like you will easily attract attention from those narcissistic men. Needless to say, they must be a nuisance to you,” Luocheng spoke righteously.
“Aren’t you one of the many narcissistic men?” Bai Feifei quipped rhetorically.
“…” Yu Luocheng felt as if he had just dropped a stone on his own foot.
As a gentleman, you can surrender your dignity; your rationale; but you must always be wary of sarcasm.
Despite the ironic statement made by Bai Feifei, Yu Luocheng still walked with her cheerfully, feeling good about himself.
After all, he had to walk in the same direction anyway. Their dorms were just next to each other, where else would he go? Besides, as a professional SP, how could he resist staying close to a pretty girl like Bai Feifei and being ready to sacrifice himself at anytime just to protect the goddess?
***
They did not speak again along the way back. Bai Feifei continued to maintain a considerable distance from Yu Luocheng, almost as if he was a threat. Perhaps that was just her character. She seemed a little introverted and disliked talking to strangers.
Yu Luocheng was busy texting and did not mind the silence. He turned and walked away immediately once Bai Feifei had entered the female dormitory building.
“Eh, that guy seems familiar. Fei, where did the both of you go?” Her roommate happened to be near the staircase and began to interrogate her.

After he got back to the dormitory, Yu Luocheng was still busy discussing something very important with Yang Qianqian through texts.
They were talking about the long holiday during National Day. They were still deciding whether Yu Luocheng should go to Hangzhou to find Yang Qianqian and enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan, or should Qianqian come to Shanghai and explore the urban culture together with him.
The holiday fell right after military training. The reason they still couldn’t reach an agreement was thanks to Yang Qianqian—The indecisive lady was having a dilemma between strolling the West Lake in Hangzhou and shopping at the Shanghai Zhongshan Road.
Bang!!
The dormitory door was kicked open violently without any warning. It was almost time for lights-off and Yu Luocheng saw Jiang Jiu and Qiu Jingtai dash in hurriedly. Interestingly enough, they were looking at him with fire in their eyes.
“Nothing happened between us!” Yu Luocheng hastily confessed first.
“We can talk about that later… Master, please teach me how to play ADC!” Qiu Jingtai fell next his bedside exaggeratingly. He almost wanted to kneel down and call him “sensei”! Jiang Jiu himself was equally keen.
In the eyes of Jiang Jiu and Qiu Jingtai, Yu Luocheng was already a godlike player for having almost 2000 League Points in the Ionia region. After a heated discussion, they had decided to be Yu Luocheng’s loyal apprentices in their next four years of undergraduate study!
“I played a game using Ashe just now. After farming for 30 minutes at the bottom lane, I was chased down by Vayne with her R-ulti active. No matter how desperately I tried to get away, she still managed to pin me down. Please teach me how to overcome Vayne!” Jiang Jiu pleaded.
“Yes, yes. Teach us!” Qiu Jingtai nodded in agreement.
“Ashe, you say? If you had met Vayne alone in the wild after 30 minutes into the game, there’s no use of running. How is it possible that Ashe could outrun Vayne?” Yu Luocheng lectured patiently.
Qiu Jingtai and Jiang Jiu nodded in agreement. Indeed, Ashe could never move as fast as Vayne.
“The best option is to turn back and fight. If you have your ulti, use it. If you have Volley, use that too. Exchange hits with her and fight for as long as you can.”
“Is this the method for Ashe to beat Vayne?” Jiang Jiu asked. From the look in his eyes, he was really eager to know the answer.
Yu Luocheng shook his head and replied coolly, “No, but at least you will die with dignity.”
