Chapter 46.2: The Game
Plus, the Chinese server for League of Legends had only been open for about a year, and Jian Sichun couldn’t even remember how to play some of the ancient champions. She had also forgotten all about rune pages and other such details.
Additionally, she and Shi Hai often played games together after the PS4 was released a couple of years later, which was the first console for many young people.
In this era, PC games were still the main focus.
Recalling the wonderful times when she used to snuggle in Shi Hai’s arms while playing games, Jian Sichun felt a nostalgic itch in her heart.
“Can we play a two-player game?”
“We can, but I don’t really have any two-player games on my computer.”
“Download an emulator, and we can play some arcade games!”
“Oh, that’s an option…”
Seeing Jian Sichun’s enthusiastic expression, Shi Hai noticed that her mood had completely improved, so he smiled and said, “Alright, you download it. I’ll go grab a chair.”
“No need for a chair. Just sit back a bit, and I’ll sit on your lap.”
“That doesn’t seem appropriate…”
“Otherwise, if we squeeze together, our movements will be all over the place! You wouldn’t be trying to take advantage of a girl like me in such a sneaky way, would you?”
“Well… alright then.”
Shi Hai finally agreed, albeit reluctantly.
For now, his priority was to keep her happy. As long as he didn’t overthink or overreact, nothing should go wrong.
Jian Sichun was thrilled, cheering internally.
He agreed! Yeah~ Big~ Victory~
Without hesitation, Jian Sichun plopped down onto Shi Hai’s lap, skillfully navigating to a resource website to download an arcade emulator and resetting the key bindings.
Then, she selected a classic fighting game, King of Fighters ’98.
This time, I’m going to beat you to a pulp!
In her previous life, Jian Sichun often dragged Shi Hai into playing fighting games together, from the latest Super Smash Bros. to the oldest Street Fighter—they played through almost all the major fighting games.
Because they frequently sparred against each other, both of them reached high ranks in online matches.
But while Jian Sichun was only good enough to crush beginners, Shi Hai improved to the point where he is as strong as professional players.
He even reached a level where he could dominate pros if he played his main characters.
She was, of course, happy and proud that her boyfriend was so skilled at games, but it also made her a bit embarrassed.
Because when she and Shi Hai played games, the loser had to face a punishment—usually something that would make Jian Sichun’s shame level explode, lowering her threshold for embarrassment, and leaving her mind filled with inappropriate thoughts.
And all these embarrassing punishments were her own ideas.
At first, when they started playing fighting games together, Jian Sichun, with her experience, won more often.
So, she got cocky and made bold claims about what she would do if she lost, which led to the creation of these punishments.
What she hadn’t expected was that once Shi Hai got the hang of the games, she couldn’t beat him anymore.
Eventually, winning even a single match became a dream.
Embarrassingly, she had to endure the various R18+ punishments…
But Jian Sichun never gave up.
Whenever she couldn’t win against Shi Hai in a game, she would switch to a new one, practice secretly, and then start off by dominating him.
Eventually, though, she’d end up losing more than winning, getting thoroughly crushed, and adding another page to her ‘shameful memories.’
Even though she often lost badly, Jian Sichun kept coming back for more.
She was just that addicted to the game, despite not being very good at it.
She loved playing games with Shi Hai, loved winning, and also loved being ‘punished’ by him.
She enjoyed both playing and being played, eagerly looking forward to every session.
That’s why games are so fun!
And now, this was their first showdown since she had been reborn!
Without any fighting game experience, Shi Hai would definitely be crushed by her!
Excited by the thought, Jian Sichun turned back with a mischievous smile and said,
“Just so you know, there’s going to be a punishment for the loser~”
“Is that really fair? I’ve never played a fighting game before.”
“I don’t care~”
“You really are a handful…”
…
Half an hour later.
10-0
Jian Sichun stared in shock at the win-loss record she had jotted down in Notepad.
Huh?
Why…
Why was she the one getting crushed?!
