Chapter 1527: Chapter 1527: Defy and Battle If You Dare

As soon as Jian Dan entered Jian Xiaokai’s office, she collapsed onto the sofa.

"Hey, Mom, could you be a little more mindful? There are other people here, you know?" Jian Xiaokai reminded her, as Jian Dan’s posture was rather ungraceful.𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Hehe, I was too tired to notice for a moment." Although she adjusted her posture slightly, her collapsed state remained unchanged.

"Sorry about that! Got a laugh at my expense, huh? I overexerted myself after working out, burned up a bit too much energy!" Jian Xiaokai said to Fang Yuan with a smile.

Hearing this, Fang Yuan’s expression remained neutral, but inside, it felt like her emotions had just been seasoned with nothing but bitterness and sourness.

"Jian Xiaokai, what are you even saying?" Jian Dan immediately opened her eyes, which had been closed.

As she opened them, she realized Fang Yuan was also looking at her. She gave an awkward smile and explained dryly, "Yeah, I’ve been trying to lose weight recently, so I’ve been exercising every night. Hehe~" She finished her explanation while glaring at Jian Xiaokai.

"Oh, is that so? But honestly, I don’t think you’re fat. No need to lose weight, just make sure to take care of your health!" Fang Yuan suppressed her inner emotions and offered a warm smile.

"Oh, I’ll keep that in mind.

Anyway, go ahead and sit down! Why are you still standing there?" Jian Dan quickly changed the subject.

"Jian Xiaokai, weren’t you looking to form a team? Well, I brought you a pro here!" Jian Dan seemed to have been energized by Jian Xiaokai’s teasing just now.

"A pro? This...

Mom, don’t take this the wrong way, but isn’t the age a bit up there?" Since it was someone Jian Dan brought, Jian Xiaokai phrased it more delicately.

"What’s going on in that head of yours?" Jian Dan smacked Jian Xiaokai on the head.

"Mom, seriously? That was way too hard. Aren’t you afraid of turning me into an idiot?"

"Being a bit dumber might not be so bad. Saves you from overthinking."

"What did I even say wrong?"

"You thought I brought you a team member? No, I found you a coach."

"Oh! Well, why didn’t you make that clear?"

"It’s clearly your failure to understand."

"Fine, being a coach is great, but first, I need to know if he has what it takes to coach."

"You must be kidding. Back in the day, he was a pro player, even hailed as the MVP. If it hadn’t been for some reasons that forced him to leave the scene, he’d be a god-tier figure by now."

"I didn’t see what he used to be. I only believe in what I see now." Jian Xiaokai locked eyes with Fang Yuan.

Jian Dan could feel the sparks flying between their gazes.

These two... could they be about to fight?

Fang Yuan’s lips curved into a slight smirk. "How about a 1v1 match?"

Fang Yuan wasn’t someone overly driven by competitiveness, but since Jian Dan brought her here, she didn’t want to let Jian Dan down, especially knowing Jian Dan valued this for her son.

After meeting that man last time, Fang Yuan knew that no matter what, she could never become someone comparable to him. So, even if she felt unwilling, she could only let go.

"Alright!"

A match it was.

While watching from the sidelines, Jian Dan couldn’t understand why, even though it was just esports, there seemed to be an air of gunpowder in the room.

At first, Jian Xiaokai had the upper hand, but as the game progressed, their strength evened out. Eventually, Fang Yuan won the 1v1 match with absolute dominance.

"Wow, you’re still so awesome! It’s been years, and you’re still this good," Jian Dan exclaimed, surprised that Fang Yuan, despite so much time away from gaming, was still so skilled.

"Welcome to our team as the coach." Jian Xiaokai was a good sport when it came to losses.

Fang Yuan’s skill was undeniable. Although her finger dexterity wasn’t as sharp as the younger players, her tactical analysis and strategic thinking were top-notch.

Which is why Jian Xiaokai had been defeated.

"I’m very happy to join you all!"

"Jian Xiaokai, how do you plan to thank me? I found you such an awesome coach."

"Thank you? How about I let you sleep on this sofa for a night?"

Jian Dan’s previously good mood was instantly derailed by Jian Xiaokai’s comment.
