87: Building a Swing 2

Building a Swing 2

Ban, ban, ban! Hurry up and ban them! 2

Once they're banned, "Heartbeat" will get all their traffic! 

It's just that all he heard was the angry roar of a certain esports god through his Bluetooth headset. "Put it down! Are a girl's hands supposed to be used for such rough jobs?!" 

The netizens in the stream: ??? 

Director Chen, who was waiting for him to explode: ??? 

Did he hear properly? What did Smog just say?? 

It wasn't just the netizens, but the employees on set as well. 

Xiang Yi was confused as she held onto the rope, hesitating whether to put it down. 

Xiang Yu reached out and grabbed the rope in her hand, a mean look on his face. "This kind of thing is a man's job! Leave it to me!" 

The chat: 

　— [I suggest that everyone release their shock on the public screen] 

　— [Surprised! I didn't know Smog was so manly!] 

　— [He's… kind of suave? I feel like a domineering male classmate is in love with me] 

　— [Simao Brother, wake up! Your hands aren't meant for doing rough work like that!!!] 

　　…

Xiang Yu had superior hands-on abilities as he picked up the saw and began to measure the pieces. 

As a child, he had always loved making handicrafts; Xiang Yi believed that building a swing set would simply be child's play for him. Tentatively, she asked, "Th... Then let's build it together?" 

Xiang Yu shifted his eyes at her. "I'll give you a task." 

"Huh?" Xiang Yi's eyes lit up, full of anticipation. 

Xiang Yu: "Do you see that little stool? Bring it over." 

The girl happily trotted over to bring the stool until she heard Xiang Yu speak. "Okay, you can sit right there, next to me. Building a swing is easy, just wait. Wait, you're too close, sit farther, three meters… no, five meters away!" 

Netizens: ??? 

Director Chen: ??? 

Where was hot-tempered player Smog? Who was this arrogant and flirtatious man?! 

　— [Wait, what? Can someone explain to me what's going on??] 

　— [Doesn't Simao Brother hate the Vase Fairy? Why is he helping her install a swing? This goes against logic!] 

　— [Gege, your hands are used for holding the sniper rifle in-game, not for holding a woodworking saw!] 

The audience produced an array of question marks. 

Xiang Yu picked up the saw and began to cut the planks. 

Sitting on the stool, Xiang Yi's senses gradually recovered. 

Her brother's attitude… seems to have changed. 

She batted her eyes and tested the waters. With a smile, she handed him a pair of gloves. "Put these on. Otherwise, your hand will hurt if you get a splinter." 

"Who wants to wear this thing? It makes it difficult to work." These words came out of his mouth, but Xiang Yu still put on the gloves with a mean and uninviting expression. However, a row of text rippled in his tender heart like a wave: 

'My~sister~acknowledged~me~~~~'

Bai Ruoruo had been late as she was fixing her makeup. As a result, she found Smog already working away, while Xiang Yi was unexpectedly sitting next to him doing nothing. 

She felt an unbearable disdain in her heart. This girl really was useless; Smog must hate this kind of lazy woman to death! 

"Smog, I'll help you." Bai Ruoruo gently said, "It looks like you're having a hard time by yourself." 

A chain of hahaha floated through the live comments. [White Lotus showtime is here] 

Xiang Yu looked up, took a quick look at her, then coldly said, "Then you can climb the tree and tie this rope." 

Bai Ruoruo: ??? 

"C... Climb the tree?" She looked horrified. 

How could he make a girl do such a thing? Was he a hardcore iron man*? 

"You can't even climb a tree?" The young esports god's face was veiled in disgust. "Nevermind, go away. You're blocking my way." 

Bai Ruoruo: "..." 

* Translator's Note: The direct translation for the term used would be "iron straight man". This usually refers to guys who are very direct, straightforward, insensitive, and headstrong; has bad taste and fashion and is sometimes associated with male chauvinism. Essentially, it refers to a guy who does not understand how to interact with women.
