Chapter 17: Faithful Support

Business was lively along the Qinghe riverside.

Since they were only students, they wouldn’t be going anywhere too fancy. Besides, this was the ideal season to relax on the shore, enjoying the river breeze, some good food, and just a smidgen of wine 1 . That was the life!

“Oh, the angel Charlene is joining us, too?” Shane boggled his eyes at the beauty sitting nearby, uncertain of how best to conduct himself.

“Is that alright?” Charlene wondered.

“Sure, of course!” Even as Shane blubbered in reply, all the guys rose to their feet, as though possessed, and began jostling for the coveted position at her side.

Sitting beside her meant being able to take in those sensuous legs from up close, perhaps even bump into them by accident, feel the springy texture of her thighs. A man could catch his death from experiencing such bliss.

“You guys are really too much! Stop acting like a bunch of creeps!” Samantha glared at them as she pulled Charlene protectively to herself, as though fearing that the encroaching wolves might snatch her away and carry her off into the night.

Samantha got along well with Charlene. Even though she wasn’t in Class 8 with the rest of them, her friendship with Samantha allowed the guys to become a little closer to Charlene by association.


Logan was the exception. He’d never exchanged a single word with this goddess of legs.

“Alright, let’s all start with a round!”

“Cheers!”

The gathering of students, gorging themselves on drinks and snacks, got into a merry mood. The conversation mainly revolved around the game from earlier.

As a newly arrived transfer student, Logan was closest to Jin. Everyone else was still a stranger to him, but with that game and this supper, the ice was finally beginning to thaw.

This reminded Logan of when he’d first begun hanging out in cyber cafés. He’d had a big group of buddies back then, too. They’d play together in the cyber café, then hang out together over cup noodles, and even pick up chicks together.

Sadly, they’d eventually drifted apart and went their separate ways… and before he noticed it, he was already in his third year of high school—he no longer had the liberty to loaf around all day, the way he used to.

Well, this was nice, too. He could always make new friends, and meet new girls, right?

Supper was over, but everyone was still reluctant to part. Either way though, the girls had to depart earlier, and then everyone said their farewells anyway.

“Charlene, shall I walk you home?” Jin was the first to make the offer, hurrying over as everyone began to disperse.

“That’s alright. I don’t think we’re going the same way,” Charlene replied.

“What? Of course we’re going the same way!”

When sending a pretty girl home, anywhere was ‘going my way’. Even if one lived in the North and the other in the South, it would still mean going the same way!

As Charlene regarded Jin, a small laugh escaped her. It was so bewitching a sight that Jin was struck dumb where he stood.

“You should return to your hostel. Don’t think I don’t know that you’re a boarding student.” Charlene pierced through Jin’s deception straightaway.

“Um… I’m heading to my aunt’s place,” Jin stammered bashfully.

Charlene decided not to pay any further heed to Jin, turning instead to Logan, who seemed to be waiting for a bus.

“Which one are you waiting for?” she asked.

“I’m not waiting for a bus. My place is just nearby here,” Logan replied.

“By the riverside?” Charlene pointed across the bridge.

Logan was bewildered. “How did you know?”

“I live around there, too. Have you never noticed me on your way to school every day? I’ve seen you lots of times.” Charlene was smiling as she said all this.

“Hm, hmm… doesn’t ring a bell.”

Hearing this, Jin wanted nothing better than to choke Logan to death. Didn’t he know how to talk to a girl?

“Well then, let’s go,” Charlene declared serenely, combing her fingers through her hair as it streamed in an errant wind.

The entire conversation left Jin aghast.

He’d taken the initiative to approach the girl, and she’d turned him down. Logan hadn’t made a peep, and now he was walking her home!

It didn’t make sense!

Fox in the rabbit hutch, that’s what this was. All throughout supper, Jin had also noticed something odd in the way Charlene had been watching Logan.

Game over. That fair blossom was about to be ruined by swine, and all he could do was watch helplessly. Oh, cruel fate!

Jin hated himself for not spending more time on Blitzcrank. If he’d known that Charlene was looking for a good Support, he’d never lay hands on that lolita Annie again.

Ah, don’t leave me, goddess. Don’t leave me for that wolf in sheep’s clothing. It will only lead you to ruin. I can play Support, too… I’ll support you as Annie!

“She’s really leaving…” Watching them walking away side-by-side, Jin could hear his heart breaking a little more with each step that they took.

From now on, he’d play a faithful Support!

At first, Logan thought Charlene was just having a bit of fun with him. However, when she followed him onto the bridge, he realized that he really would be walking home with this voluptuous belle.

They walked alongside each other beneath the quiet streetlights. Logan was just half a head taller than Charlene. She was slender, yet shapely. The intermittent lamplights stretched and distorted their shadows, overlapping them atop one another.

It really almost looked as though they were an actual couple, taking a walk together late at night.

“Do you play often?” Charlene’s eyes fluttered as she gave him a sidelong glance.

“Once in a while.” Logan was not much of a conversationalist. In the company of a pretty girl, he always struggled to find something to talk about, but nothing would come up.

“Did you become that good by only playing ‘once in a while’?”

“Heh, heh. Playing games is just another thing that benefits from natural talent.” Logan chuckled as he said this.

“Feh, I bet you play late into the night every day. Check out your panda eyes.” Charlene rolled her eyes, skeptical of his words.

“Alright, you got me. After my parents are asleep, I’ll get up and play a couple of rounds. I spend most of the weekend on the game as well.”

“So you’ll be free tomorrow?” Charlene asked.

“Afraid not,” he responded automatically.

Logan spent the weekends playing Ranked matches. Indeed, he didn’t do much else on those days.

If Jin had been there to hear him say this… never mind strangling him, he’d tear him limb from limb!

When a goddess asks if you’ll be free, even if your schedule is full up, you’ll still tell her you’ll be free. It’s the same principle as ‘going my way’, got it?

“I’ll ask you again: Will you be free tomorrow?” Charlene was looking him straight in the eye, a slight hint of vexation in her tone.

Besides a gorgeous figure, Charlene was also really pretty. When she was showing her annoyance like this, her dimples made her look not the least bit threatening—rather, she looked completely adorable. All he wanted to do right now was plant a kiss right on her cheek. He could just imagine how sweet, how smooth, how fragrant it must be!


To think that this goddess would cast her ire in his direction!

As a good and proper man, Logan could not back down. He’d already told her that he wouldn’t be free, and that was that. Stout of heart and resolute of will, he faced Charlene boldly to inform her, “Yeah, I’ve got some time. It’s the weekend, right? Of course I’ll be free.”

This concession seemed to appease Charlene, and her dazzling smile returned to her. “Then, let’s play together tomorrow. I like to play ADC. With your masterful Support, I’ll get to pawn all kinds of noobs.”

“Sure thing. With me be your side, your reign is assured!” Logan thumped his chest as he said this, the portrait of a gallant knight.

“It’s a date, then,” Charlene giggled.

“Right.”

“What’s your number?”

“I don’t have a handphone. You can call me at my house.”

“Okay.”
