Ye Xiao couldn't help but say, "You guys didn't gamble on a game, did you?"
"Hey, you got it right." Jiang Miaoke immediately giggled and said, "Ye Xiao, you're really smart."
"And then you lost the bet?" Ye Xiao's gaze fell on Ye Ziyan.
At this moment, Jiang Miaoke's smile disappeared, and she gave an awkward smile, saying, "Actually, Ziyan got involved because of me."
Ye Ziyan hung her head, not daring to speak, clearly knowing she was in the wrong.
"What did you play?" Ye Xiao asked.
"League of Legends!" Jiang Miaoke said, "Nowadays, many universities have established esports clubs to cultivate League of Legends experts. The esports club at Yanyuan University often has matches with stakes involved. Actually, we didn't plan on playing, but those people dared to mock us, so..."
"Alright, I don't need to know the details." Ye Xiao said, "What's the current agreement with those people?"
"If someone can represent us in a match against the winner, and win, we'll all be free." Jiang Miaoke said.
"Wait, why do I get the feeling that Ziyan wasn't the only one who lost the match? Seems like you had a hand in this too, huh?" Ye Xiao looked at Jiang Miaoke.
Jiang Miaoke immediately cleared her throat and said, "Well, yeah, kind of."
Today was Ye Ziyan's first time at Yanyuan University, and because of her assassin background, she's usually much more composed than the average person. Normally, she wouldn't trigger anyone first. But Jiang Miaoke is different; she's originally a student at Yanyuan University, a well-known figure there, and enjoys showing off a bit. So Ye Xiao understood that this was all probably Jiang Miaoke's doing.
However, regardless of who caused it, as their strongest support, it was now Ye Xiao's time to shine.
"Let's go, I'm going to check it out." Ye Xiao said.
"I'm sorry, bro!" It wasn't until this moment that Ye Ziyan softly apologized to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao heard Ye Ziyan's apology and quickly said, "You're not wrong. I believe in my sister. Any evil force challenging my sister will eventually be defeated."
Ye Ziyan knew what Ye Xiao was saying was just comforting words. She had experienced the esports expert's skills firsthand. Although she always believed her own League of Legends skills were top-notch, she was utterly defeated in today's battle against the club's expert.
"Bro, that person is really good!" Ye Ziyan looked up at Ye Xiao and said seriously.
Ye Xiao noticed Ye Ziyan's expression and slightly smiled, saying, "Don't you believe in your brother? Just wait and see, I'll definitely make him pay a little. Otherwise, wouldn't my sister being in a bad mood right now be for nothing?"
Ye Ziyan didn't know where Ye Xiao got his confidence from. After all, gaming isn't the same as fighting. No matter how strong your Inner Strength is, it can't manipulate the game's internal data, so Ye Ziyan was quite worried.
"Alright, then let's go!" Jiang Miaoke laughed and said, "Ye Xiao, if you win today, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Treat me to a meal?" Ye Xiao, Jiang Miaoke, and Ye Ziyan walked into Yanyuan University, laughing and said, "Is it really that simple? Don't forget, I'm here to help you redeem yourself."
"But doesn't Ziyan also need you to?" Jiang Miaoke argued.
Ye Xiao nodded with a smile and said, "You're smart, but did you forget? Ziyan is my sister."
"..."
This is what family is all about.
"Bro, Coco is still my sister-in-law, you have to help her too." Ye Ziyan quickly said to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao heard Ye Ziyan's words, lightly chuckled, and said, "I'm just afraid she doesn't want to. We live in a law-abiding society now. If it's not consensual, I might break the law."
"Ye Xiao, you're such a sleazeball." Jiang Miaoke, knowing Ye Xiao's thoughts, immediately glared at him and said.
Ye Xiao, unconcerned, smiled and said, "You're saying that wrong. How am I sleazy? Didn't I just say something right? If we're not related, why should I save you? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
"You..." Jiang Miaoke, listening to these words from Ye Xiao, was so angry her lungs almost exploded.
"Bro, then tell me, how can you help Coco?" Ye Ziyan, being smart as she was, could guess Ye Xiao's thoughts from Jiang Miaoke's expression; seeing it, she naturally wanted to help out.
Ye Xiao heard and laughed, saying, "Unless she admits she's my wife."
"No way!" Jiang Miaoke heard Ye Xiao's words and immediately said seriously.
"I know you're a person of your word, so since you've staked yourself, you'll surely keep your promise." Ye Xiao indifferently said, "I'm just not sure if that person got lucky. If he's handsome and rich, I wouldn't mind letting him win."
Jiang Miaoke originally thought about not keeping her promise and ignoring the esports club guy. Although she'd be gossiped about, at least she wouldn't suffer a big loss.
But now, with Ye Xiao's words, he effectively blocked Jiang Miaoke's way out.
In other words, right now, Jiang Miaoke only had one way out, which was to keep her promise.
Of course, it could also be understood that there were two paths in front of Jiang Miaoke: the first was keeping her promise, losing herself to the esports expert because of a game; the second was agreeing to become Ye Xiao's wife so he would win the match for her.
For Ye Xiao, this was obviously the best choice. But for Jiang Miaoke, this was the most annoying choice she'd ever seen in her life.
Because, no matter which one she chose, Jiang Miaoke felt she would lose.
However, if she didn't choose, it meant she opted for the first choice.
Jiang Miaoke immediately found herself in a dilemma.
Although Jiang Miaoke knew many League of Legends experts, compared to the esports club guy, there was quite a distance. Only Ye Xiao was rumored to be pretty good at it.
Actually, Jiang Miaoke brought Ye Xiao over just to try; it wasn't that she really thought Ye Xiao could win!
"Have you thought it over?" Ye Xiao playfully urged, "Actually, you don't have to choose."
Jiang Miaoke raised her eyebrows at Ye Xiao and said, "Are you sure you can win?"
