The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

Chapter 420: Former E-sports Genius Male Supporting Role & Cannon Fodder Companion 16

On the game loading screen, the new hero's silver dagger gleamed coldly in the moonlight. Wenrou stared at the skill description, her fingers pressed stiffly on the screen. The assassin in the fountain spun awkwardly, nearly bumping into the wall.

"Don't be impatient." Qin Xiao's voice came from the headset, low and lazy, "First feel the rhythm of the hero's movement."

His character suddenly appeared in front of Wenrou, his silver cloak drawing a smooth arc in the night, and the moonlight flowing on the blade, reflecting a cold light.

Wenrou held her breath and watched him demonstrate the most basic charge combo - the three-stage displacement was like a waltz in the moonlight, and the final backstab was so precise that it seemed as if it had been measured with a ruler, and even the air seemed to be cut by a tiny crack.

"Did you see clearly?" Qin Xiao sheathed his sword. The assassin's silver mask shone coldly in the moonlight, and the eyes beneath the mask seemed to be smiling. "The core of this hero is to predict the enemy's movements. It's like playing chess. You have to think three steps ahead."

Wenrou swallowed and tried to imitate his movements. Her fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, and the character on the screen seemed to be drunk, staggering forward. On her second try, she accidentally pressed the wrong key, and the character unleashed a powerful move directly into the air, the special effect exploding into a brilliant firework in the night sky.

When she hit the wall for the third time, she heard suppressed laughter coming from the headphones. She looked up and found that Qin Xiao's character was leaning against the wall with his arms folded. The starry sky in the game was flowing behind him, and the starlight sprinkled on his silver cloak, outlining a hazy halo.

His posture was languid yet graceful, like a leopard resting in the moonlight.

"What are you laughing at!" She threw the dagger in embarrassment, but because the afterswing was too long, it directly fell into the wild monster camp and was chased by several monsters and fled in a panic.

In a panic, she pressed several skill keys in succession, the character spun around in place, and finally fell to the ground in a funny posture.

Qin Xiao's laughter could no longer be concealed, and his deep voice was filled with obvious joy. "That move you just made, should it be called 'Throwing Yourself into the Arms and Assassinating'? I've been playing games for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such a... unique combo."

"Master!" Her gentle face was about to burn. She hurriedly pressed the flash button to escape from the encirclement of wild monsters, her heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her chest.

She could feel her ears getting hot, but fortunately Qin Xiao couldn't see her blushing face through the screen.

Qin Xiao chuckled and continued to teach Wenrou to practice the new hero, while asking casually, "So, how did you come up with the idea of live streaming?" There was a hint of curiosity in his voice, as natural as if he was talking about today's weather.

Wenrou bit her lower lip sheepishly when Qin Xiao mentioned live streaming, her fingers unconsciously twirling around the earphone cord. "It's mainly to earn tuition money. Live streaming is really profitable, and..." Her voice gradually trailed off, as if she was afraid of being overheard. "And you can meet a lot of interesting people."

"However, I didn't expect you to be a game streamer." Qin Xiao killed the monster in front of him with a clean and neat movement, without a single unnecessary movement. Each skill release was precise to the millisecond. "I thought you would choose something more... gentle, like food or crafts."

"Because I really don't know what to say during a live stream," she said in a gentle voice with a hint of shyness, recalling the embarrassing moment when she was so nervous she babbled incoherently during her first live stream. "So I just started playing games. Plus, I can be a game companion, which also earns me some money."

She paused and added, "But after meeting the master, my gaming skills have improved a lot. At least now I won't be called 'bad at picking my feet' by the audience." After saying this, she laughed first, and her laughter was as clear as wind chimes.

Speaking of live streaming, Wenrou couldn't help but think of Qin Xiao's promise to live stream with her, and her heartbeat quickened. She cautiously asked, "Master, you just said you agreed to live stream with me, is that true?"

Her voice was so soft as if she was afraid of disturbing something. Her fingers were unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes, and even her breathing became unconsciously lighter, for fear of missing any word coming from the headphones.

Qin Xiao's assassin character suddenly stopped moving, and the silver mask glowed slightly coldly in the moonlight.

Hearing his gentle breathing through her headphones, Wenrou felt her own heartbeat so loud it threatened to drown out the game's sound effects. She could even imagine Qin Xiao at that moment—perhaps leaning back in his gaming chair, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the table, a faint smile on his lips.

"Of course it's true." His voice was filled with a lazy smile, and the ending tone rose slightly, "But..."

The gentle fingers suddenly tightened, and the nails almost dug into the palm: "But what?" Her voice trembled with nervousness.

"But you have to agree to one condition."

Qin Xiao's character suddenly turned around, the dagger drawing a graceful arc in the moonlight, the tip of the blade precisely pointing to the heart of the gentle character. "No more bunny ears on live broadcasts."

His tone suddenly became serious, but his gentleness keenly captured the jealousy hidden in it.

The gentle face suddenly became hot, and even the neck was dyed pink.

That bunny ears outfit was indeed the most revealing of her livestream cosplay outfits, with a very low neckline and an excessively short skirt. Even Wenrou felt embarrassed the first time she wore it, but her livestream's popularity skyrocketed because of it.

She stammered, "That was chosen by the audience... I, I don't really want to wear it..."

Then Wenrou seemed to have discovered something.

"Master, have you watched my live broadcast?!" Her voice suddenly rose and she almost jumped up from her chair.

"Yeah." Qin Xiao's voice was filled with a clear smile, "I've seen almost everything."

Wenrou's mind went blank. Doesn't that mean he'd seen every one of her live broadcasts over the past two months, including those embarrassing moments where she acted cute and coquettish in front of the camera?

She suddenly remembered the moment when she accidentally exposed herself during the live broadcast last week, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

A system prompt sound suddenly rang out in the game, interrupting Wenrou's wandering thoughts.
