Pretend to hate you [eSports]

Cheng Yu got up and opened the door. Shen Zheng was connecting the game controller in the living room. He looked up, waved the controller at Cheng Yu, and patted the seat beside him.

The morning sunlight jumped into the room, fell on the ends of his hair, and then extended along the ends of his hair to the floor, drawing a bright and clear line.

"Cheng Yu." Just like in childhood, the cheerful music of the game sounded in the living room. He sat cross-legged on the carpet and urged Cheng Yu again, "Come quickly."

When Cheng Yu was unhappy when he was a child, Shen Zheng would come to Cheng Yu with a game console.

At that time, Cheng Yu's family was strict and didn't buy him a game console, so Shen Zheng brought it over and shared it with him. The two children played together for the whole day, and the house was filled with their laughter.

Later, Cheng's mother wanted to buy a game console for Cheng Yu, but Cheng Yu didn't want it, saying that if she bought it for him, brother Shen Zheng would not come to play with him anymore.

When Cheng Yu was a child, he used countless tricks to play games. Once, Cheng Yu was angry, and Shen Zheng deliberately let him win. He was very happy, and then he started to use tricks and deliberately find faults to get angry. Shen Zheng would be fooled every time.

Suddenly recalling the past, Cheng Yu realized that the little tricks he used when he was a child and was so proud of himself were so childish in the eyes of Shen Zheng. In fact, he had seen through them a long time ago, but just didn't expose them.

How come I suddenly figured this out?
Cheng Yu leaned against the bedroom door, rubbed his eyes and said, "Don't rush me, I'll come right away."

He walked to the bathroom and took a shower, feeling inexplicably irritated.
It wasn’t because of his illness being made public this morning, nor was it because of Shen Zheng. They were all trivial matters.

For example: Why is the shower gel not as fragrant as before? The toothpaste is not as minty as yesterday. When did the shampoo contain ginger? Is it appropriate for him to meet Shen Zheng with a head full of ginger smell?
After all, Shen Zheng is his competitor. It would be so cheap for him to just be treated like a side dish.

To this end, Cheng Yu rinsed his head with foam several times, and was just about to lift up his scalp, rub it hard, and then put it back on.
Only after making sure that there was no ginger smell on his hair did Cheng Yu blow-dry his hair and go out.

However, outside, three people were sitting together at the table happily eating breakfast, and he looked like a visitor.
When Shen Zheng turned to look at him, he clearly felt that Shen Zheng's eyes were asking him: "It's New Year's Day, and you came here empty-handed?"

"Why don't you call me for dinner?" Cheng Yu decided to take the initiative.
"I thought you swam away down the bathroom drain." Father Cheng pointed to the kitchen, "Get a bowl for yourself."

Sitting next to Shen Zheng, Cheng Yu drank a mouthful of porridge, frowned and asked: "Is there ginger in the porridge?"
Mother Cheng: "No, did you eat ginger?"
Cheng Yu: "No, I smelled it. Didn't you smell it?"
The other three smelled it carefully and said, "No."
Cheng Yu was completely relieved: "Oh, maybe my nose doesn't work well in the morning."

Shen Zheng at the side laughed out of his throat and continued to drink his porridge.
"What are you laughing at?" Cheng Yu scratched his hair uncertainly, "Are you so happy about eating for free?"
Shen Zheng didn't reply and ate breakfast in silence.

After breakfast, Cheng's mother asked her sisters to go shopping, and Cheng's father went to visit an old classmate.
There were only two of them left at home.

Cheng Yu sat on the carpet next to Shen Zheng, took the handle from him, and heard him say, "The shower gel smells good."
"Ah?" Cheng Yu didn't react for a moment. He checked the back of his hand and thought, is this bastard teasing me on purpose?
"What's that smell?" he asked.

"Sweet orange." Shen Zheng leaned over with his hands beside Cheng Yu, and his nose was near his ear. "Very sweet."
His voice was soft, and a weak airflow hit Cheng Yu's ear.

Cheng Yu's ears were itching, not sure if it was because of his breath or his voice.
"It's okay to talk, but why are you getting so close?" Cheng Yu pushed him away and stared at the TV to choose a character. "Hurry up and choose. I can't wait to torture you."

The two of them were playing a fighting game with great enthusiasm. Cheng Yu was so thirsty from playing that he put down the controller and stood up: "What do you want to drink?"
"Orange flavor." Shen Zheng replied, "Anything is fine."
Cheng Yu: “…Ah.”

Cheng Yu opened the refrigerator door, but didn't find any orange-flavored drink, so he simply took two bottles of Coke. He looked back at Shen Zheng, who was choosing a game.

Pulling up his collar, Cheng Yu lowered his head and took a deep breath.
Is it sweet? It seems a little bit, but it shouldn't be unpleasant, right?

Turning back, he met Shen Zheng's smiling eyes.
Cheng Yu's hand that was grabbing his collar went numb instantly. He opened his mouth and took a long time to utter, "No, no orange flavor. How about Coke?"
"Okay." Shen Zheng said, "Would you like to try the new pirate game?"
"Yeah." After closing the refrigerator door, Cheng Yu slid back to sit beside him, "Okay."

Cheng Yu didn't understand the rules of the island game at all.

Didn’t he see what happened just now?
If you see it, you won’t think that I’m smelling myself, right?
I just felt hot, so I pulled up my collar to wipe the sweat off the tip of my nose. This is normal, isn't it? Isn't this what happens when I play basketball?

"do not move."
Shen Zheng suddenly covered Cheng Yu's hand.
Cheng Yu held the handle tightly, unable to move his fingers or even his toes.

"The pirates are coming." Shen Zheng lowered his voice, tilted his head and leaned closer to Cheng Yu and said, "Look, they also captured the wife of the leader of the group."

On the screen, their small cargo ship with the temperament of a pirate ship was passing by not far away. Shen Zheng turned off all the lights on the ship. The two of them were hiding on the deck under get off work, looking out through a small gap.

"Where is the wife of a bandit leader?" Cheng Yu's throat was dry, and he picked up the Coke with his free hand and drank it.
"There's a palace dress hanging on the bow." Shen Zheng took out a telescope to zoom in, "Look."

Sure enough, on the bow of the pirate ship, a gray-green court dress was fluttering in the wind.
"It looks a bit like your pajamas." Shen Zheng looked at Cheng Yu, "Same color."

Cheng Yu also looked down at himself.
"It probably tastes like orange, too." Shen Zheng let go of Cheng Yu's hand. "The pirates are gone."

Cheng Yu's face suddenly turned red. This bastard really saw it!
The fingertips holding the handle felt numb and hot. He looked at his fingers and forgot which one was used to control the movement.

"Cheng Yu?" Seeing that no one in the game had moved, Shen Zheng returned to the small corner under the deck and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The controller doesn't seem to work anymore." Cheng Yu propped himself up on his knees and stood up quickly. "I'll go find mine. Yours is old."

He hurried back to the bedroom and slammed the door, his heart beating uncontrollably.

Covering his chest, Cheng Yu hit the back of his head on the door.
Stay calm, stay calm, these are all normal behaviors between brothers. Yan Shu even held Ling Le's hand to control the mouse, and he didn't see anything wrong with Ling Le.
He is a man who has seen the world, and he can't get nervous just because of Shen Zheng's little move.
After calming down, he went to the bathroom again and only left after making sure his ears and neck were no longer red.

"It works well." Shen Zheng held up the handle that Cheng Yu had just used and said, "I've tried it."
"Really? Maybe it got stuck just now." Cheng Yu took the controller and deliberately sat away from Shen Zheng. "Where are you playing?"
"There is an island ahead. We can go up and look for supplies." Shen Zheng moved his butt and got closer to Cheng Yu. "The sun is coming over. It's too sunny over there." If you want to be sunny, pull the curtains!
Cheng Yu's mouth was tense, and he focused on playing the game without saying a word. No matter what Shen Zheng said, he just said "um" or "no".

The system prompt is displayed in the lower right corner.
“You pick up discarded beer bottles.”
"You pick up wood *99"
The character Cheng Yu can't move anymore.

"What for?" Cheng Yu opened his backpack and threw away the wood. "Why give me this?"
Items are automatically picked up in the game. If you want to trade supplies to your teammates, just throw them at their feet.
The character's backpack has limited weight and can carry too much stuff. If there are too many things in it, the character will be unable to walk.

"Wait for me." Shen Zheng caught up with him, "There are wild animals on the island, be careful."
"I can beat him." Cheng Yu still didn't wait for Shen Zheng, "I'm not as weak as you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gorilla suddenly jumped out in front of Cheng Yu. It was the little boss on the island.

With the equipment and supplies Cheng Yu has now, he is not yet able to challenge this little boss, but he just made a big promise to Shen Zheng, and it would be embarrassing if he ran away like this.

There was no other choice, so he gritted his teeth and took out a weapon from his bag: a stone tied to a wooden stick.
An extremely ancient weapon with little damage.
Cheng Yu: “…” Isn’t this dead?

Cheng Yu held the ancient spear and ran forward. He stabbed the gorilla in the leg and looked up to see the gorilla's blood volume.
In other words, the level of blood loss cannot be seen.
Cheng Yu: “…” Damn, I shouldn’t have boasted if I had known.

"Swoosh", a small stone flew out and hit the gorilla's arm, and the hatred was instantly transferred.
Cheng Yu: "Is this reasonable? I am using a weapon after all. How can your stone do more damage than mine?"

"Together," Shen Zheng said, "The island has a complex terrain and many trees. We can block the way."
Cheng Yu: "You say it."

The two men worked together to deal with the gorilla, fighting as they retreated, pulling the gorilla's hatred towards each other, and neither of them was injured for the time being.
It’s just that the damage is too low. It might take an hour to kill this gorilla.

It was too tiring to fight like this. Cheng Yu really wanted to say that he would fight next time, but...
Face is a good thing, he can't lose it.

Originally, he wanted to keep grinding until Shen Zheng started talking.
As a result, Shen Zheng didn't say anything, he just kept beating without blinking.

As long as I don’t say that I’m suffering, no one will know how much I’m suffering.
Twenty minutes later, finally, all of Cheng Yu's weapons were broken and could not be used.
He almost burst into tears, and his fingers were about to break: "Ahem, Shen Zheng, I don't have a weapon anymore, you hold on for a while, I'll make one."

"You picked up a spear."
"You pick up the bow and arrow."
"You pick up the arrow*32"

"I have some here." Shen Zheng said, "I'll give it to you. You can make some first and I'll make some more."
Cheng Yu: “?” You are a fucking dog!
Damn it, the bull is blown away and the water is poured out.
Cheng Yu gritted his teeth and said, "You retreat, you rubbish are only fit for logistics, wait for me to kill this gorilla and give you some meat."

"Okay." Shen Zheng said slowly, "It's just right for me to take a break, grill some fish and recover my strength."
Cheng Yu: “…” If you come to my house for a free meal again, I’ll kill you.

Forty minutes later, the gorilla's health was only 20% left, and Cheng Yu never wanted to touch the handle again in his life.
Ever since Cheng Yu asked Shen Zheng to be in charge of logistics, Shen Zheng has really been doing it seriously. He grills fish, fetches water, and makes some weapons and gives them to Cheng Yu when he has nothing to do, so that he won't be idle.
Cheng Yu hated it, but there was nothing he could do.

"Why don't we become pirates?" Cheng Yu could no longer feel his fingers, as he was moving entirely based on muscle memory. "Why don't we just rob others? Why would we work so hard to get our things robbed?"

Shen Zheng threw him a grilled fish: "Okay, I'll study it."
Now, he didn't even bother to take the test on fish. He just turned aside and searched on Baidu with his mobile phone.

Later, the weapon given by Shen Zheng was reliable and had high damage. After twenty minutes, Cheng Yu finally reduced the gorilla's health.

"Fuck..." Cheng Yu let go and lay on his back on the carpet, "Who the hell invented this game?"
"We can be pirates." Shen Zheng finished searching on Baidu, picked up the controller and said, "Just hang up the pirate flag."

Cheng Yu sat up again and watched Shen Zheng pick up all the equipment dropped by the gorilla.
Not a single thing was left for him.

Cheng Yu: "You're going to keep it all for yourself?"
Shen Zheng: "I'm going to make a pirate flag and need to give you some materials. Will you make it?"
Cheng Yu: "Forget it, I don't care about logistics. Do you have any more grilled fish?"
Shen Zheng: “Yes.”

"You picked up the grilled fish*50"
Cheng Yu: "Did you go fishing?"

When he opened his backpack, he found that apart from 50 grilled fish, Cheng Yu had nothing good. He even took out the wooden planks to fight the gorillas. What happened? He became a freeloader.
Forget it, just give in to him, it’s his fault.

While Cheng Yu was resting, Shen Zheng hung the pirate flag on their small boat. The hull changed from the original template color to black, and the sails also turned completely black, which looked quite cool.
"Can I be a pirate now?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Come up." Shen Zheng said, one step away.

When Cheng Yu got on the boat, the decorations inside had changed, and the ornaments had become bones and the like, which looked quite realistic.

"You pick up the noble robes."
"Your teammate SZ invites you to become the ship's anchor lady, do you accept?"

"Ah?" Cheng Yu looked at the options on the interface, one to accept and one to reject, his mind was confused.
"What do you mean?" he asked. "I'm a male character."
"It's a necessary process to become a pirate." Shen Zheng turned his head and said seriously, "We need a wife to hold the ship. If you refuse, we can't be pirates."

"This..." Cheng Yu blinked quickly, "What kind of bullshit setting is this?"
Shen Zheng: "Didn't you think of pirates? This is the only step left. The noble robe was dropped by the gorilla. If you don't wear it, your fight just now will be in vain."
Cheng Yu's eyes widened: "Just this one thing?"
Shen Zheng nodded: "Yeah."

"Fuck..." Cheng Yu scratched his hair, "This is too unreasonable. How can a man like me be the ship's wife? How about you be the wife?"
"I made the pirate flag. I can only be a pirate." Shen Zheng patted his shoulder. "It's just a game anyway."

"Tsk..." Cheng Yu scratched his head and tapped his toes on the carpet. After a while, he accepted it and said, "You are not allowed to tell anyone else about this."
Shen Zheng smiled inaudibly and nodded, "Well, I'll keep it a secret for you."
