The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else Chapter 14.1
Genius Artist - Replacement of the White Moonlight for the Rich CEO
The ten seconds were up. Lu Shijin immediately took the gun off his shoulder and raised it skillfully, eyes focused on the screen.
Although he and Huo Lian were using different screens, they were in the same game as teammates.
There were twenty five enemies, so there wouldn’t be any ties.
Lu Shijin’s character met two enemies the moment he spawned. He skillfully hid behind the bunker, set up his gun and shot two shots, each hitting a headshot.
The scoreboard on the top changed to 2:0.
Lu Shijin got used to the handling and confidently hooked up his lips, casting a glance at Huo Lian.
“Mr. Huo, we were only playing the easy stuff before. Now that we’re playing a game for adults, you should try harder.”
The moment he finished speaking, Huo Lian encountered three enemies. He calmly hid behind a wall and cleanly finished them off with a grenade.
The score changed again, to 2:3.
Huo Lian didn’t break focus, manipulating his character to keep walking forward as he coldly said. “If you have the skills to talk, why not find some enemies instead. There’s only 20 left, you don’t have many opportunities left.”
Lu Shijin realized that Huo Lian was a real pro in these games, so he stopped distracting himself and devoted all of his attention to the game.
It wasn’t a matter of winning, but rather who held the initiative.
Since both of them took the match very seriously, the game became heated. The score on the screen was almost at a stalemate, continuously displaying one of them ahead of the other before becoming overtaken.
“Fuck, hey assistant, isn’t Huo Lian a senior executive of some company? How is he this good at gaming? Does he spend his time at work playing?” Lu Shijin complained to 711 while scanning the map for the last few enemies.
“According to his character intro, Huo Lian went through a rebellious period during his youth, always fighting and skipping classes. He wanted to use that to attract his father’s attention.”
Lu Shijin sneered, “Wanting to use those methods to attract attention. . . how childish. But still, he must have been young back then, believing in those fairy tales about familial love in the upper class.”
711 didn’t continue the conversation, helpfully giving a reminder. “There are still 4 enemies left, Huo Lian is ahead of you by 3 right now.”
The current score was 12:9, which meant that Lu Shijin had to kill all four of the remaining NPCs to win.
Lu Shijin and Huo Lian carefully scoured the map for the location of the last four enemies.
Perhaps the luck was with Lu Shijin, as he found them before Huo Lian. The four enemies were stuck in a corning wandering around like headless flies.
“Look closely, there’s going to be something good soon.”
Lu Shijin’s character jumped onto a couple of crates and took out a grenade from his pocket. He pulled the tab and threw it down. Smoke covered the screen—
Game over
Game over!*
*Eng in raws
Lu Shijin whistled. “13 to 12. Apologies Mr. Huo, looks like I won this round.”
Huo Lian put down his gun. Although he had lost, his demeanor remained the same.
“You had good luck, I accept my defeat.”
Lu Shijin wiggled his eyebrows, asking with a smile. “Then what will we do next?”
Huo Lian glanced at him. “You won, so whatever you want.”
“Then,” Lu Shijin pointed towards the door,“let’s go grab a drink?”
The two drank glass after glass at the bar. Upon their exit, Lu Shijin was already drunk and could only hang off Huo Lian’s arm as he brought him away.
Lu Shijin’s drunken eyes were hazy. The normally pure and bright peach blossom eyes were now slightly red and moist, the ends of the eyes hooking up, incredibly bewitching.
“Your room or my room?” Lu Shijin quietly asked as he leaned on Huo Lian’s shoulder.
“I’m bringing you back, so of course your room.” Although Huo Lian had drank a lot of alcohol, his face was as fair as ever, the effects of alcohol invisible.
Lu Shijin poked the man’s arm, which was as hard as iron. “Stop pretending to be pure, you know what I’m talking about.”
Lu Shijin extended his index finger to touch Huo Lian’s chest, drawing a circle.
“Don’t forget, you lost to me today. Not only a bet, but also yourself.” He paused, as if thinking that it was something to be proud of. He started to quietly giggle, then lifted his head with glee, shouting, “Everything was lost to me!”
Huo Lian looked down, coldly sizing up this crazy drunk.
“So you just wanted to find a one-night stand.” Huo Lian sneered. “There were so many people in the bar, you could have just chosen one of them.”
Lu Shijin shook his head, then waddled his index finger at Huo Lian, seriously speaking. “That won’t work. I only want you.”
Hearing such a plausible and bold confession, Huo Lian couldn’t stop his heart from being moved.
But he soon remembered that Lu Shijin was drunk. A drunk person’s words were not to be trusted.
“I don’t.” Huo Lian’s expression was cold. He wanted to throw off Lu Shijin’s hand and leave.
Lu Shijin hurriedly grabbed him, preventing Huo Lian from leaving and whispered in his ear, “Don’t go, I’ll tell you a secret. Don’t you want to hear it?”
Seeing Lu Shijin’s current appearance, Huo Lian could tell it wouldn’t be anything good. “No.”
