On the weekend, Wang Muman returned home by herself. Aunt Shen had already prepared the meal and left a note on the table, saying to heat it in the microwave if it got cold. Wang Muman started eating. The food was a bit cool, perhaps influenced by the atmosphere. After finishing, she went upstairs to her room and opened her phone. She saw He Lele had sent her a video, a funny one, and He Lele immediately sent a voice message, laughing heartily. Wang Muman watched it once and couldn't help but grin, replying with a laughing-so-hard-my-stomach-hurts emoji.
Seeing Wang Muman reply, He Lele called her to play games, saying they needed to relax after the exams. Wang Muman thought there was nothing else to do, so she agreed to log in.
"Manman, we're exactly one short. I was so bored playing with just the three of them, they were all ganging up on me, isolating me." Seeing Wang Muman enter the room, He Lele called out.
"We weren't isolating you, you were just playing badly, and we didn't dare to say it," Zhou Mingyu immediately retorted upon hearing that.
Wang Muman thought to herself: With Zhou Mingyu around, how could she be isolated? It shouldn't be boring. Hearing Zhou Mingyu's sarcastic tone, she knew what was going on.
"I just played marksman once, and I was a bit of a noob!" Because they were short one person, the matched player immediately picked mage. He Lele had wanted to pick support, but Yan Cheng took it, so she had no choice but to play marksman, and then they lost.
"Who is the other person?" Wang Muman looked at the unfamiliar avatar and asked.
"Oh, that's Li Zhentao." He Lele chuckled. It had been quite some time since she last saw them play basketball, and this was her chance to force Zhou Mingyu to let him join.
"Oh, we can start. You guys pick first, I'm fine with anything." Wang Muman said calmly.
The other three expressed their familiarity with this, but Li Zhentao was confused and asked, "You're fine with anything?"
"Sister Manman is very skilled, don't worry." Zhou Mingyu replied to him, "Compared to Yan Cheng, Sister Manman is like heaven." He even used an analogy.
However, this time Wang Muman was assigned the support role. She found it strange and picked a cute hero.
"Handsome little brother, why aren't you ganking Manman's head?" He Lele exclaimed in surprise.
"I'm trying to break through my own limitations." Yan Cheng looked at the marksman role he had chosen, feeling a bit nervous.
The game started. Wang Muman was a little worried about Yan Cheng, so she stayed with him from the beginning. In the early game, the heroes were relatively strong and cleared waves quickly. With Wang Muman's help, Yan Cheng gained some advantage, but soon he became a target, with four people coming to gank him. Wang Muman was willing but unable to help. After a few skill shots, it was a two-for-two trade.
"Yan Cheng, just play safe. It's okay if we lose the tower, you just need to output damage in the late game." Wang Muman followed him closely, occasionally guiding him to take small jungle monsters. His economy quickly picked up. In a team fight, he played a crucial role. Wang Muman's healing was abundant, and she timely restored his depleted health bar. After taking a dragon, they pushed and destroyed the crystal.
"It's good that Manman is here, I feel at ease. Even though she's just a support, we wouldn't be able to do it without her." He Lele said from the other end of the game. Her mother's voice calling her to bathe could be heard in the background. "Guys, I have to go first. You continue."
Wang Muman was still wondering if she should continue. Zhou Mingyu, as the room owner, started the next game.
"Sister Manman, let's play jungle this time. Being carried feels great." Zhou Mingyu recalled the feeling of being carried in those few games.
Wang Muman chose jungle. Yan Cheng obediently picked a support hero again.
Li Zhentao got to play mage for the first time and happily said, "Finally, I can play something I'm good at."
Yan Cheng, as usual, stayed with Wang Muman, feeling safe and occasionally listening to her commands.
"Hey, is that 'Brother Xin' from your class a girl? He seemed a bit feminine when I saw him play basketball last time." Li Zhentao asked in the game, feeling relaxed enough to chat after seeing Wang Muman's gameplay.
