PUBG Online Romance of the Century

Chapter 61 - Under the heavens, you are the one who has the best relationship with Xiao Yan

Edited by xiin and Noks

Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, “Is that right? Which male anchor?”

Having said his piece, Mo Nancheng was about to return to the basketball court, but upon hearing that question, he felt a little surprised. In his impression of Yi Chen, Yi Chen had never been interested in these kinds of things.

“Don’t remember, let me check ah.” He took out his cellphone, opened his Weibo, and asked, “Could it be that you know Tuantuan?”

Yi Chen replied simply, “We’ve gamed together before.”

“What game? I’ll go learn it, and we can all play together.” Mo Nancheng found the relevant topic trending on the search list, to see that it had now jumped to No. 17 on the hotlist. “Look, this is it.”

Yi Chen glanced at it, then paused.

#Tuantuan/yanxyan, sweet#

“…” Yi Chen said, “Open it.”

Mo Nancheng gave him his cellphone. “You take a look at it first, I’m going to go play ball ah, they’re waiting for me.”

Yi Chen ignored his words, accepted his cellphone quickly, and clicked on the topmost Weibo post in the trending topics hotlist.

[E-Sports Express: #Tuantuan/yanxyan, sweet# We hear that StarTV’s entertainment section’s first Jiejie Tuantuan is with the rookie PUBG anchor yanxyan? [/ question]. Stream followers have picked up hints of all kinds of interactions between them. It’s said that Tuantuan opened a side account to play PUBG, met yanxyan, and yanxyan even helped her get back at her teammates? Recently, they met in person, a single man and woman, and they even went to Nanqi Temple together to pray… then posted a group photo of the two of them. This new male anchor’s appearance could count as being in the tip-top of StarTV’s anchors ba? Seems like his technique is also very good.]

The picture attached to this post was the group picture the two people had posted on Weibo.

This particular Weibo post didn’t have many comments or likes, so Yi Chen opened that section to take a look.

[He does look pretty good, but I remember that this male anchor seems to have been exposed to be a botter?]

[Tuantuan, the first Jie of the entertainment section? Don’t joke with me, StarTV has loads of female anchors who’re better looking than her.]

[Does the person above me have village internet? yanxyan wasn’t revealed to be a botter, the site officials even released a notice, got it?]

Yi Chen didn’t look over the other comments carefully, but at a glance saw a popular comment mixed in with the rest.

[Is 1YanTang open for business today ma: This picture really has some 丶丶well suited flavor, I’m going to save the picture first. They’ve even become a trending topic, could it be that they’re really together?]

―How could you believe in something the marketing department released?

―Can you lift your head up and look at your own ID before commenting?

―As a fan, can your heart not be a little firmer?

Yi Chen thought all this expressionlessly.

Putting Mo Nancheng’s cell phone aside, he picked up his own cellphone. Sure enough, someone was already asking about this in the livestream’s barrage.

The little anchor, who was wearing headphones, spoke with a blank expression, “Trending search? What trending search… Me and Tuantuan? I’m not playing dumb, I really don’t know what you guys are talking about… I’ll have a look after this match ba, I really don’t check Weibo that often.”

Yi Chen’s brow had just smoothed out a little when he saw a special effect jump out, and the screen showed the words: Little ya, Little Tuan has entered the livestream.

[Tuantuan’s here!! It can’t be that they want to show off their love here ma?!]

[I still haven’t quite come around yet. Tuantuan was still sending fluff to the 1YanTang girls in the group a few days ago, how could she betray the group today? I’m crying liao.]

[Followed Tuantuan here. Does this new anchor want to hold our Tuan’s thighah? You set up the trending search yourself ba? I watch Tuantuan’s livestream every day, how come I couldn’t tell that she was dating someone?]

Tuantuan didn’t look at the barrage and asked just as she came in, “Xiao Yan, do you have space to carry me to eat chicken?”

“Yes,” Yu Yan replied, using this as an escape route.

“Carry me along in the next match.” Tuantuan said, “I just bought a new set of clothes, yet as a result, I turned into a box every time I landed, and my outfit was picked up by others&#k2015;it’s too annoying. In a while, protect me so that I can keep wearing it for a bit longer.”

Yu Yan said with a laugh, “Okay, login and wait for me first.”

Mo Nancheng had just made a basket worth three-points, and was about to take a break for two minutes to brag a little when he saw that the man sitting on the steps had suddenly stood up.

He froze, then threw the ball to the person next to him and shouted, “Where are you going?”

“Going back,” Yi Chen didn’t even turn his head as he replied.

“Hey, wait a minute, why are you rushing back? Aren’t you not going to the company these two days?” Mo Nancheng asked. “Also, you didn’t drive here, so how are you going back?”

“Taxi.”

Since this was the person he had invited out himself, and since he was still injured, Mo Nancheng felt embarrassed to let him leave by himself.

Anyway, only two minutes remained of the fourth quarter of the game. He simply told the people on the court, “Not playing anymore, not playing anymore, there’s only this small amount of time left, and we already have 20 points more than you. This should just count as our win ah… Yi Chen, wait for me, I’ll send you back!”

In the car, Mo Nancheng, who was driving, asked, “Do you really know Tuantuan? Is that trending topic true ma, is she really with that male anchor?”

“No,” replied Yi Chen.

“Really?” Mo Nancheng cheered up. “Like I said…That male anchor looks pretty good, but he also looks as if not all his hair has grown in yet.”

Yi Chen glanced at him and retorted, “You’ve even learned to gossip recently, getting old?”

Mo Nancheng replied, “I’m just casually saying this ma. At first, I thought that the news wasn’t very reliable, but later I realized that since Tuantuan is very attractive, it’s normal that most young men won’t be able to resist her looks. Maybe he could really pursue and catch her…”

“He doesn’t like Tuantuan.”

Mo Nancheng was stunned. “How do you know?”

Before going to bed, the little anchor would listen to clips of me and him, so you tell me how I know.

Thinking of this, Yi Chen’s mood turned better. He opened the window to let in some fresh air.

“Why do you have so many questions, concentrate on driving. I don’t want to have a second traffic accident.”

The basketball court wasn’t far away, so they hadn’t driven for even 20 minutes before he got home. Yi Chen turned on the computer and directly entered the live stream.

“Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan! Quickly come and save me, these two are chasing me!” Tuantuan cried.

“There’s also a team behind us.” Yu Yan said, “Lu Xiuhe is heading over to you.”

“I see that, but I don’t get a feeling of safety with him.” Tuantuan said, being brutally honest.

“Why are you even looking down on others?” Lu Xiuhe was unwilling to accept this. “I might not play as well as Xiao Yan, but I’m not that noob ba. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely deal with them.”

Yu Yan was concentrating on the team behind them. Just after killing an enemy, he saw two messages appear at the top right corner of the screen.

Tuantuan and Lu Xiuhe had both been knocked down by the two people behind them.

Lu Xiuhe said, “…A mistake, it was really a mistake, my □□ was tossed off track.”

Tuantuan sighed as she said, “I just knew it. In the future, I don’t care, I’ll always follow behind Xiao Yan, that way, I won’t die so easily.”

Yu Yan didn’t answer, he was completely absorbed in playing the game diligently. He was being attacked from the front and back, and his situation wasn’t good.

After two minutes of such a standoff, the two enemy teams banded together to attack him. Fortunately, he managed to kill off two enemies before he died, which could be considered as sabotaging their gaming experience.

He only realized that Yi Chen had entered the room after quitting the game and seeing the barrage.

[Yanyan’s Daddy: Is there space ma?]

That was a message from five minutes ago.

Ever since his PC had gotten drenched in liquid, the computer’s performance had really regressed a lot. Now, when running the livestream, Yu Yan had to block the display effects that appeared whenever a gift was given, along with the special effects that appeared whenever a boss entered the stream. He could only look and thank for the gifts given by the stream followers after he finished playing a match.

He glanced over quickly, to make sure that 1 was still in the stream, after confirming which he relaxed and replied, “Yes, there’s space, do you want to come?”

[Yanyan’s Daddy: En.]

[Ever since I found out the anchor’s real name is Yan, I can’t look directly at 1’s ID…]

[Does this ID mean exactly what I think it means? Give me a straight answer ba.]

[Are you CP fans crazy? Don’t you know that staying in the fold and only talking to yourselves is the cutest? How could there be so many broken things popping up while watching a livestream? Tuantuan and Xiao Yan have both announced their relationship, yet you guys are still here yelling about 1YanTang, 1YanTang all the time, aren’t you annoying?]

Yu Yan saw this and frowned lightly as he asked, “What relationship announcement?”

“Aiya, I forgot all about that.” Tuantuan said, “Our romance has become a trending topic on the search hotlists.”

“…Trending topic? That Weibo post?”

No. Wait.

Yu Yan was muddled and asked, “Romance? Us two? When did this happen, why don’t I know about this?”

While he was speaking, a game character quickly entered the game lobby and at a neither fast nor slow pace, assumed a ready state.

“What a coincidence, I don’t know either.” As soon as Yi Chen appeared in the lobby, Tuantuan took a stance and defended herself. “Don’t talk nonsense, I would never betray 1YanTang.”

Yu Yan was already immune to the phrase ‘1YanTang’. He opened Weibo and glanced at the post, wondering out loud, “The first post in the trending search list has so few comments and likes… How did it enter the trending topics?”

Tuantuan replied, “Someone bought it.”

The microphone icon next to Yii11c lit up and with an even tone, albeit one that sounded inexplicably cold, he asked, “Did you buy it?”

Tuantuan denied three times in quick succession as she explained, “I didn’t, I wouldn’t, don’t misunderstand me ah! I’m a female anchor, I depend on bosses rewarding me to eat, I would have to be stupid to announce a love affair. This trending search for this topic was probably bought by people who can’t stand me. Today, my Weibo’s comments section looks like a large-scale fan-removal site.”

Too real.

But Yi Chen wasn’t satisfied, and so he questioned, “What does it have to do with him if other people can’t stand you?”

Tuantuan replied, “…Maybe because I have a good relationship with Xiao Yan?”

Yi Chen stopped talking.

After entering the game, they discussed for a while before deciding to jump to the upper city area.

Everyone jumped to the building in the middle of the city area. As soon as Tuantuan landed, she heard four gunshots go off nearby and immediately grew scared. “Why are there so many people in the upper city area? Xiao Yan, have you found a gun yet? It seems that two teams are fighting here, how about you come over and take all their heads… and save me while you’re at it?”

She had just finished speaking when Yi Chen said, “I don’t have a gun. Someone is next door, and I got shot.”

“I’m coming.” Yu Yan didn’t even think about it before quickly loading his ammunition and running in 1’s direction. “Tuantuan, you should find a place to hide first ba.”

“…” Tuantuan felt wronged and tucked herself into a corner while raising a gun to point at the door. “Okay ba.”

After cleaning up the city, it was time to run from the poison circle.

Tuantuan ran halfway down the road and then saw a car parked at the side of the road. She cheered up and said, “There’s a big sports car here, Xiao Yan come here quickly.”

Yi Chen suggested, “I see a motorcycle, will we be able to see a midair-backflip today?”

“…Yes.” Yu Yan immediately turned, ran for a long time, and sat in the driver’s seat of the motorcycle. “Tuantuan, can you drive? If not, let Lu Xiuhe drive.”

And so the audience watched the anchor take the big boss and look for high peaks along the entire road to execute midair flips off of, and he arrogantly entered the circle in that manner.

On Tuantuan’s side―

――Bang.

When the car hit the tree, the two of them lost some health. Lu Xiuhe said, “Ouch… I’ve been playing LoL for a long time and haven’t eaten chicken in awhile. My hands have become a bit unused to driving now, so you’ll have to make allowances for me.”

Tuantuan: “…”

After smoothly entering the second circle, the four people gathered together and crouched in a room in the wild area.

Yu Yan got off the motorcycle and said, “1, come… Follow me.”

The two of them snuck into the small wooden house beside them, and Yu Yan pulled out a ton of things from his inventory and plopped them down. “Extra accessories, check and see if there’s anything you’re missing?”

Yi Chen raised his eyebrows and stated, “Let me have a look.”

A heavy gunshot resounded, and Tuantuan didn’t even have time to react before her character was knocked down to the ground.

She was just about to say something when Lu Xiuhe, who was next to her, also fell to his knees.

Tuantuan looked at the two people who were acting so sweetly situated in the nearby house and said heavily, “Boss 1, I understand that Xiao Yan has a good relationship with you. Under the heavens, you are the one who has the best relationship with Xiao Yan. It’s just that it’s an urgent situation right now, so could you let him help us first?”
