My Life with Narration-Chapter 239 - 238: Zhou Hui, the Noob Who Loves to Play

What a shameless person, so good at flattering, being opportunistic, forgetting loyalty at the sight of beauty, and valuing women over friends.

At the dinner gathering, Wang Xing was vigorously flattering Sun Mumu, calling her "Sister Sun" over and over, making Sun Mumu squint with a pleased expression on her face.

As for Zhang Xiao and Qin Shuang, they made Wang Xing glance over frequently. Every now and then, he would sneak a peek, feeling like he had entered an all-girls kingdom because all the women at the table were so attractive.

Especially due to Sun Miaomiao, everyone was very warm toward Wang Xing, naturally making him feel quite self-important.

Thinking back, when had Wang Xing ever enjoyed such treatment in his over twenty years of life? He immediately felt that rushing to help with Su Qing that day was the right decision.

He even thought that if Su Qing and that policeman Du Qiang hadn't been involved, if he alone had completed the entire rescue, it would have been perfect, a hero saving someone in distress.

As for him, he simply watched Wang Xing strut around, realizing that every show-off opportunity was precious.

Meanwhile, Sun Mumu kept blushing as she watched Wang Xing chatting with everyone at the table. Su Qing increasingly felt that something could happen between them.

And then looking at Wang Xing... he figured he was just being blind. This guy actually planned to cast a wide net and catch more fish.

Just as they were almost done eating, Su Qing received a call from his mom, Zhou Hui.

"Hello~ s...son!" Zhou Hui's tearful voice came from the other end of the line.

In an instant, Su Qing panicked, hurriedly asking three questions in a row:

"Mom, Mom! What's wrong, why are you crying? What happened?"

Growing up, he had never seen his mom cry. He wasn't sure if she cried in front of his dad, but at the moment, he felt that something was wrong.

"Someone bullied Mom, you need to come back quickly!" Zhou Hui abruptly started wailing, crying uncontrollably.

"Did Dad hit you?"

"He wouldn't dare!"

Su Qing: ...

Now that he thought about it, if his dad had that kind of courage, how could his mom have lived so carefree all these years?

"Then what's going on, tell me!" Su Qing scratched his head in frustration and anxiety.

Soon, he heard two sniffling sounds over the phone: "Son, Mom was scolded, come back, boo hoo hoo~"

Su Qing: ???

Scolded to tears? That's rare. Could she have gotten into an argument while playing cards and ended up crying from anger? Who could be so formidable as to defeat his mom verbally?

But hearing the Empress Dowager's sobbing, Su Qing quickly replied, "Alright, Mom, don't cry, I'm coming back now!"

"Then... then hurry up!"

Zhou Hui choked on her words.

Hanging up the phone, Su Qing only felt his head buzzing, suddenly remembering that his dad seemed to have mentioned this yesterday. He never expected it to be true.

"What's up, Qingzi? Everyone's looking for you, saying let's go out and play later!" Wang Xing walked out from the room and said to him.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, well, you guys go ahead and play. I've got some family matters to deal with, need to go home for a bit!" Su Qing replied.

Hearing this, Wang Xing immediately got a little nervous: "Need any help?"

"No need, just a minor issue, I'm going home to calm my mom down. You go tell them, I'm not going back in, don't want to kill the vibe. You guys have fun, anyway, I got the girls out for you, whether you can stop being single depends on you. I'm leaving now!" Su Qing hinted meaningfully.

He wanted Wang Xing to pay more attention. If he could sense Lin Miaomiao's intentions, things might go well, but he didn't dare say it outright due to the narrative voice.

"Haha, with my skills, I'll have them wrapped up in no time. I will not waste the opportunity you created for me, I can't believe with so many girls as potential matches, I won't get out of being single! Qingzi, you're a real pal!" Wang Xing said with gratitude, giving him a thumbs up.

Su Qing: "I... as long as you're happy!"

This guy's mindset seemed off, being surrounded by single girls but still wanting them to introduce him to someone seemed backward, yet he just went ahead and did it.

When Wang Xing returned and said Su Qing had to leave due to family matters, some of the girls felt a bit disappointed, but under Wang Xing's enthusiastic lead, the atmosphere slowly picked up again. Finally, he led a group of girls out to have fun.

The sky was still bright at this time, everyone finished work at five, and after dinner it was only seven. It's early August, so the sky hadn't completely darkened yet, and nothing could stop their excitement.

At 7:30, Su Qing returned home feeling puzzled, and as soon as he opened the door, he heard sobbing coming from the living room.

"What's wrong, Mom, I'm back. Who scolded you?" Su Qing immediately saw his mom, Zhou Hui, lying on the sofa, holding her phone with red eyes.

On the side, Old Su was serving tea and pouring water, even Su He was there offering comfort, making the scene quite grand.

"Brother, you're finally back, please take a look at mom, she's been crying for two days!"

Su Qing, with a head full of questions, was pulled over by Su He.

"Mom, what's going on?"

Seeing her dear son return, Zhou Hui cried even harder, holding her phone and sobbing, "Son, boo~~~hoo~~ I didn't... didn't feed them on purpose~~ I was playing well, and they reported me, boo hoo~~~ my account got banned, and they still cursed at me, boo hoo~~~ it's driving me crazy, cough cough..."

Looking at the report page on his mom's phone showing she was reported in Arena of Valor, Su Qing's brain short-circuited for a moment, unable to think, he stood dumbfounded for a while before asking in confusion:

"Are you saying, you played a game, and someone cursed at you?"

Zhou Hui nodded while sobbing, "They... they wouldn't let Sima Yi play support, they insisted I let Xiang Yu play support, so I went... while I was there, I got pinned down by Hou Yi and Zhen Ji from the opposing team, and they... said Xiang Yu was too tanky, blamed me for leading, what do they mean 'leading', boo hoo hoo... it's not that I didn't want to play, I was pinned down that's why I got hit, waa~~

They cursed at me, I couldn't out-type them, they typed so fast, waa~~"

The top woman of the Mahjong table in Gotham City had never won a game, yet losing so badly in a game was unexpected, as she spoke, tears fell like she felt greatly wronged.

"Your mom started crying yesterday, and nothing could comfort her!" Old Su said from the side.

Hearing this, Su Qing suddenly had no words: "Seriously mom, at your age, why are you playing games, isn't playing cards better?"

"Mom heard there are many young girls playing this game, so she wanted to find you a partner, to have an online romance, mom has been queuing with local girls these days but ended up getting cursed at," Su He explained from the side.

Su Qing rolled his eyes, well, so that's the reason.

"Why are young people so irritable... I found several girls, they all said I was a noob, wouldn't play with me, how come young people's things are so complicated, aren't you just supposed to press whichever skill lights up?" Zhou Hui complained tearfully on the side.

Thinking at her age, on top of worrying about her son's marriage, getting cursed at by youngsters, and most crucially, getting banned, was humiliating.

"If you can't out-type them, just block them!" Su Qing suggested.

Zhou Hui: "I'm curious about what they're cursing me with."

Su Qing: ...

What's this hobby, do elderly people have such strong curiosity?

"I can't play as a jungler, nor can I play Li Bai, I'm just filling in, I only know how to play marksmen, why do they curse at a filler, boo hoo~~ I don't even know what equipment to get, why is it so hard~"

Hearing this, although Su Qing had a blank face, inside he was laughing uncontrollably, though it was a bit unethical, but... it's so funny!

Only a rebellious parent like his mom would enjoy trying out new things, no normal elderly people would think of gaming to find a match for their son, he couldn't laugh, laughing would erase ten years of good deeds.

"Mom, let's stop playing, no need to get upset, no playing equals no being upset!" Su Qing sat down and patted his mother's back to comfort her.

Seeing Zhou Hui shake her head: "No more playing, I added him on WeChat to curse him, even made a voice call, but he didn't pick up, just kept typing to criticize me, saying if I can't play then go carry bricks at the construction site, also said my online name was a basic bro, am I a basic bro, he's the one, his whole family is."

At this moment, Su Qing was dumbfounded, going from game insults to WeChat insults, what kind of hatred is this?

"You even added him on WeChat?"

"Of course I did, he cursed at me, I was very angry, I already arranged to meet him at 8 PM tomorrow evening, at the gym park!"

Su Qing: Σ(゜ロ゜;)

"So you couldn't win online and want to confront him offline?"

Have to say, his mom had quite the temper, even he wasn't this hot-headed, at most betting on family honor to exchange insults.

"I couldn't swallow the indignation, I arranged with him, and he agreed, also said if I had guts to come alone, no bringing others."

Still a duel, mom, you're truly valiant!

"So you called me back..." Su Qing cautiously asked.

Zhou Hui: "Of course it's for you to go instead of me, I posted your photo, do you want your mom to fight him?"

"But, I'm your son, I can't go to a fight date either!" although he'd foreseen it, he still found it absurd.

Mom arranged an online fight, ended up sending her son's photo as a replacement, truly a real mom.

"You're a cop, this should count as personal insult, right, go scare him, make him apologize, or I won't be able to sleep!"

Su Qing: "I... wait, is this some new matchmaking scam?"

Zhou Hui: ...

...
