"Hey, I’ve locked in my college apps— you *sure* it’s that Information Arts College in our province? It’s basically final!"
Xiao Feng called Li Wei to confirm his spot, leaving the rest up to him.
"Yep, that’s the one, son. Trust your grandpa’s connections—he’s got this school handled!"
"Get lost!"
Xiao Feng hung up instantly. Li Wei’s end was sorted; no need to waste more words.
Applications submitted. Summer vacation had officially begun!
With free time on his hands, of course he booted up his PC for a few rounds.
Time for Overwatch! Voice-chat games were Xiao Feng’s true jam—after all, he couldn’t exactly “guard his parents” in Zaun, so mic-on chaos suited him just fine.
His League of Legends skills? Trash. But in Overwatch? Solid. He actually had game.
No more chatter. Game on.
A real man picks DPS first. Other roles could wait. He slapped down Doomfist without hesitation.
Match loading—
Xiao Feng’s team attacked first.
The moment the gates opened, an enemy typed in public chat:
"Hey opponents—our ‘Balala the Little Fairy’ is a sweet girl with the most adorable voice. You won’t handle it!"
Xiao Feng’s lips curled into a faint smirk.
"A ‘sweet girl’? Basically begging to be targeted. Doomfist’s paying her special attention."
Teammate Orisa (voice): "Doomfist, we push straight. D.Va, shield him!"
D.Va: "On it!"
Countdown ended.
Xiao Feng surged forward with Doomfist—first target: the player ID’d "Balala the Little Fairy."
She was playing Mercy. Taking out the healer first was already his plan. Perfect.
He dove into the fray. D.Va’s shield flared. Uppercut. Two shots. Pivot back. Flawless takedown of Balala’s Mercy.
Her teammates fumed, typing: "Doomfist, seriously? Bullying our girl? So rough!"
Xiao Feng ignored them. Mercy respawned? Priority target. Again.
Balala’s Mercy barely stepped out of spawn—turned the corner—and met love. Uppercut. Two shots. Bye.
—
Inside a sunlit bedroom—
"Ugh~! So mean! He’s targeting me! Doomfist should be deleted!"
A gentle-faced girl with glossy black hair, headphones on and wrapped in soft pajamas, stared at the replay of her instant death.
Xiao Feng had stripped her of all game experience: die on spawn exit, die again, until she dared not leave base.
"So unfair! Why target *me*?!"
Qin Bingbing bit her lip, cheeks flushed with irritation, fists clenched tight as she glared at Xiao Feng’s MVP Doomfist highlight.
If he stood before her now? She’d swing.
"...But wow. His Doomfist is insane. Adding him to carry me wouldn’t hurt."
She sent the friend request.
Xiao Feng’s screen pinged: "Balala the Little Fairy" wants to be friends.
"A ‘sweet girl’ from the enemy team? Holding a grudge?"
His face scrunched in reluctance—but his finger tapped *Accept*.
She instantly invited him to her squad. He accepted.
Voice message played the moment he joined:
"Hi! Your Doomfist is amazing… Could you carry me sometime?"
Her voice was honey-smooth. Xiao Feng’s first thought: *Nice.* Second thought: *Burly dude using a lolita voice changer.*
His skin prickled.
"Bro, turn off the voice changer. That cutesy tone’s giving me chills," he said flatly, utterly unaware.
Qin Bingbing froze—then snapped back, voice sharp: "You’re the bro! Your whole family’s bros! Can’t you tell I’m a girl?!"
"N-no! Voice changers are everywhere these days… Just… if you *are* using one, please shut it off?"
Xiao Feng’s imagination ran wild: a hulking guy forcing out saccharine giggles.
Goosebumps erupted. Uncontrollably.
