Chapter 90
FOG [e-sports]
Since Yu Sui has decided to take care of Shi Luoâs family matters, he was going to handle it thoroughly. For the next few months, their schedule was only going to get busier and busier. Yu Sui was also a professional player with competitions. He couldnât guarantee that he would be online at all times to handle all emergencies that could happen. After discussing it with Shi Luo and getting his consent, Yu Sui told Zhou Huo about the matter in the evening. He also took that opportunity to give Zhou Huo his lawyerâs contact information.
Zhou Huo was very cautious. After getting an understanding of the matter, he said uncertainly, âThis isnât a big thing but it isnât a small matter either. Evil is now an adult and his father has no right to interfere. If what weâre afraid of his father staking everything and making trouble that could affect our clubâs reputation... ...Well, I hope it doesnât come to that. Isnât Evilâs family a prestigious one? They probably wouldnât want to appear on the news.â
Yu Sui didnât want to comment on Shi Luoâs father. He only said, âItâs hard to say. Theyâre dividing the family property. Itâs possible that heâs worried about it. Itâs best if he doesnât continue to make trouble. If he does, best to respond immediately. Itâs also best if we donât expose much about Shi Luoâs family matters; his parentsâ divorce or something... Try to suppress them all.â
âUnderstood.â Zhou Huo nodded. âOur clubâs players have done a good job of keeping everything secret. Basically no one knows the situation in your families. But there is still a problem. Will his father make a fuss about Evil signing when he was a minor and use that as an issue to go to court? With a quick search, heâd be able to find out about you selling Shi Luo. The most annoying thing is when guardians of underage players make trouble. Back then, was Shi Luo already 16?â
âYes, he was already 16. The contract is all legal. Thereâs no problem.â Yu Sui sneered, âAnd I donât care if he really makes an issue out of this. Back then, Shi Luo transferred from FS.â
After a dazed moment, Zhou Huo smiled. âOkay, if he makes trouble in this direction, he should go to Ji Yanhan to file a lawsuit. It has nothing to do with us.â
âIt would be best if this matter just dies here. He...â Yu Suiâs voice was lighter. He paused and said, âHe isnât that unfeeling. He appears indifferent on the surface but every time his parents do something, it makes him feel unhappy. Itâs better not to create any rhythm.â
Zhou Huo nodded. âOf course.â
Yu Sui pulled over his team uniform jacket and stood to head towards the training room when Zhou Huo suddenly remembered something. He said, feeling a headache coming on. âSpeaking of creating a rhythm. Do you know that your little Shi Shen has been secretly creating an issue?â
Yu Sui was startled. âWhat happened?â
Zhou Huo took out his mobile phone clicked on it a couple of times and showed it to Yu Sui. âDonât tell me this isnât him.â
Yu Sui frowned and took the phone.
Yu Sui: â...â
Zhou Huo hesitated to say, âReally, if I wasnât afraid that after I expose him, Shi Luo would fly into a rage from embarrassment and hit me, I would have reminded him to show some restraint. This really is a bit out of line.â
Yu Sui couldnât help his lips from ticking up.
Zhou Huo showed him Shi Luoâs Weibo side account.
Shi Luo could bear it for a while but he couldnât bear it for a lifetime. And today he finally didnât hold back and made a post using his side account on Weibo.
And he didnât just make one post; he made three.
After the two ate the takeaway at noon, Shi Luo sat on the small sofa next to the bed and pretended to play a mobile game. In fact, he had actually opened Weibo and seeing that Yu Sui was busy chatting with someone on WeChat and wasnât paying him any attention at all, Shi Luo quickly logged onto his side account, posted and then quickly logged out. He kept his expression cool, pretending that nothing happened.
Even until now, Shi Luo might not know how his Weibo side account had been discovered by Freeâs fans from the vast see of accounts. When he posted on Weibo, he still arrogantly mentioned Yu Suiâs oh-so famous name.
[Without discussing it with Shi Luo, I told my dad about the two of us to deliberately anger my dad. What I shouldnât have said...made my dad so angry he went apoplectic. Yu Sui wasnât angry. He wasnât angry at all. He hardly ever gets angry with me. ã
[No, Yu Sui did get angry with me. He got angry at me for not telling him when I was sick. He was afraid Iâd feel cold last night that he untied his clothes and hugged me to sleep. ã
[My cold is already gone. I like him so much. I donât ever want to break up with Yu Sui all my life. ã
Yu Sui raised his head and looked through the wide open door of the training room. He looked pityingly at Shi Shenâs back, absorbed with playing the game in the distance. He signed incessantly.
Yu Sui estimated that by the time Shi Shen was two years older, he would look back at what he posted on Weibo when he was a teenager and feel that each post was a blood-dripping black history. He would collapse and he would wish that he could blow up Weiboâs main software server.
Yu Sui was very selfish and he had no intention of bringing this to Shi Luoâs attention. Looking through this kind of boyfriend diary made him happy and he read it with relish. Worried that Shi Luo really would delete it after going through his second phase, Yu Sui returned the phone to Zhou Huo and opened Shi Luoâs side account Weibo on his mobile phone. He carefully took a screenshot of the posts and saved it in a special album and also selected to have it backed-up.
Zhou Huo having suffered unspeakable bitterness, said, âClick to read the comments. Take a look for yourself...â
Yu Sui held back a smile and did as he said.
[Please, please. Go see a doctor! ! ! Iâm begging you ! ! ! ]
[Youâve gone absolutely insane lately. ]
[Yu Shen embraced you to sleep? ? ? I know the location of the Free base very well. People with no business being there canât get in there at all. How did you sneak in? Did you ride on a rocket and jump in? ]
[Iâm going crazy. Canât anyone control him? ! ! ! ]
[? ? ? , I donât get it? You told your dad that youâre in a relationship with Yu Shen and then your dad still disagreed? He wasnât satisfied with Yu Sui? Leaving aside the fact that these are all fabricated lies, your father doesnât agree to you having a relationship with Yu Shen? Be honest, from which royal family did you come from? ]
[This is no longer simple mythomania. ]
[You spend your days in my husbandâs base. You sleep with my husband every night. My husband, who is worth hundreds of millions of yuan, treats you so considerately and yet your love didnât receive your fatherâs blessing...Iâm beginning to doubt that youâre not even 12 yet. This kind of Mary Sue plot doesnât exist. Wake up. ]
[Donât go back. Report with one click. ]
[Fine. I wonât hide it any longer. Iâve actually been together with Shi Zai since a long time ago. Iâm posting this comment while sitting on husband Shi Zaiâs lap. Shi Zaiâs smoking posture is really handsome, but since heâs afraid it might cause me to cough, my husband hasnât smoked all night! Shi Zai just told me to wait for him for another three years and when he reaches the legal age, he will go with me to get a marriage certificate! How can he be so good? ]
[@Free e-sports club, are you dead? How many times has it been? ! Are the club officials blind or dead? Canât you handle serious business? Can you protect our four players or not? Right now, Iâm very worried that this lunatic will actually break into your base and hurt our four gegeâs. ]
Zhou Huo raised his head and glanced at Shi Luo in the training room. He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth. âIâve long known this was Shi Luoâs side account. Ever since the fans first came to me with this concern! Can this f*cking be any more obvious?! But the fans donât know this is their Shi Zai Laogong!!!â
âThe fans have asked me to get his account banned. Theyâre asking me to come forward to clarify and their accusing me of playing dead and pretending not to see. They call me useless and say that Iâm trash...The problem is, do I even dare? Do I have the guts to report him?!â Zhou Huo has had enough being between two fires. âMore and more people are finding out about Shi Luoâs side account! They all think this is a fan with mental problem and worry that this person will kidnap you! I...â
âShhh...â While taking a screenshot of Shi Luoâs new posts, Yu Sui frowned and said, âKeep your voice down.â
Feeling aggrieved, Zhou Huo controlled his voice. âThe fans accuse me of not protecting the players. What can I do but to turn a blind eye to it and play dead? But Iâve no idea why Shi Luoâs suddenly so happy today and he suddenly made three posts in a row. Three! I donât dare to tell Shi Luo directly. Even if he doesnât directly post your name...â
âHow can he usually be so cool and ruthless and then suddenly so ___ on his side account?â Zhou Huo couldnât understand. âIsnât he the one who doesnât want to make it public? I thought he didnât want any PDA at all.â
Yu Sui carefully took the screenshots and saved them. Looking at the pictures, he said in a low voice, âHe doesnât want to make it public because he doesnât want it to affect the team. He has just fallen in love, isnât it normal to want to show off and to make a record of it... Werenât you young before too?â
Zhou Huo was at a loss.
âNo one is allowed to report him. You just continue playing dead.â Yu Sui raised his eyes and gave Zhou Huo a warning look. âDonât him any hints. Heâs really thin-skinned when it comes to things like this.â
âFine, fine, fine.â Zhou Huo said, aggrieved. âI wonât say anything.â
After dismissing Zhou Huo, Yu Sui returned to the training room. He queued up for a solo game and then called to mind Shi Luoâs side account.
Yu Sui raised his eyes and looked at Shi Luo, who had a cold look on his face as he fired nonstop in the game. Yu Sui smiled.
His little boyfriend was so cute.
Yu Sui canceled his solo game queue and clicked on the friend information in the game interface. He checked Shi Luoâs current situation. He was in a single row game. Heâs been playing the game for twenty minutes. He should be almost finished.
Yu Sui chose not to queue up for a game. He was waiting for Shi Luo to finish his game so that they could double row.
After waiting for less than ten minutes, Shi Luoâs last game was over. Yu Sui sent Shi Luo an invitation to team up and was immediately refused.
Yu Sui took off his headphones, turned his head and asked, âDid you make a double row appointment with someone?â
Shi Luo hadnât spoken yet when Chen Huo cut in lazily, âShi Luo will be in a double row with me for a while. Do you want to snatch someone? Youâre welcome to do so. Actually, neither of us is actually willing to do this. You can try and persuade Old Qiao. Heâs having us work on our teamwork for the playoffs.â
Since it was training arranged by the coach, he couldnât just grab Shi Luo from there. He was fine with waiting for them to finish. Yu Sui asked, âUntil what time are you supposed to team up? Iâll play single row first.â
âTwo oâclock in the morning.â Chen Huo said coldly, âDonât wait. Mine and Shi Shenâs schedules are already full today. If you want to team up, please say so earlier next time.â
Shi Luo looked at Yu Sui helplessly. âOld Qiao had arranged it just now.â
Yu Sui held his headphone in one hand and smiled. âDid Old Qiao do that deliberately? He...â
Puppy, who was in a single row game, coughed and interrupted Yu Sui. âJust a reminder to a certain someone who had just entered the training room. Iâm doing a live broadcast.â
Yu Sui knew that Puppy was afraid that he would say something that would allow the fans to make guesses so he nodded and stopped what he was going to say. He went to queue up for a game.
Chen Huo couldnât help complaining. âYouâre doing a live broadcast again? Tell your fans in advance! Shi Luo and I arenât quarreling and weâre not having a falling out. Insulting you teammates for being absolute idiots and telling them to go die, isnât quarreling, alright? Theyâre wasting their time spending all day on the forums discussing whether or not our teamâs strikers are fighting.â
âRelax, although I donât know why, but the topic of todayâs chat obviously has nothing to do with you. I donât quite understand what theyâre talking about.â Puppy was waiting in queue. He squinted and read the live chat. Scratching his head, he said, âI donât really understand. Theyâre all asking me to remind Whisper to pay attention to safety...Is there anything unsafe that he has to worry about?â
Yu Sui and Shi Luo both had on noise-cancelling headphones and didnât hear a word.
Puppy set about studying the live chat. Frowning, he started reading the chats word by word, âOriginally, I had hoped that all four of you would stay single, but now I have lowered my requirements. Itâs good enough if you just have a normal lover and not get eyes by weirdoes.â
Puppy was at a loss. âWhat am I missing here? What and what is this? Whoâs a weirdo?â
The live chat was quiet for a few seconds, and then started sending message after message once again.
[Itâs nothing. Just reminding you all to be safe. ]
[Itâs nothing. Please remind our Shi Zai too. Heâs the youngest and most likely to be targeted by malicious people. ]
[Itâs okay. Itâs better that you not know. ]
[Shhhhh...the playoffs are just around the corner. Donât scare the players. Letâs handle quietly. ]
[Nothing! Itâs nothing! ]
[May I ask a question? I gave a gift! Can I ask? ]
Puppy saw the gift and nodded, completely bewildered. âGo ahead and ask.â
[I just want to know, has someone started living at Freeâs base recently? ]
Puppy, who was completely clueless about the situation, didnât even think about it. He killed the rumors created by Shi Luoâs side account with a single sentence. âHowâs that possible?! Stop pulling my leg. Our base has only had these same people for the past few months; no more, no less.â
[Iâm so relieved. ]
[Iâm so relieved but pay attention to safety. ]
[Iâm so relieved. Now, this has killed all those lies. ]
[Iâm so relieved. Iâd just like to remind you all to please protect our Shi Zai well. Truth be told, he has that aura that draws in all the perverts.]
[Iâm so relieved. Please also remind Yu Shen to be safe. Although I think the average bad guy wouldnât be able to touch him, he really is at high risk right now. ]
[Donât worry, everyone will continue to report that account. Weâre going to strive to get that number blocked tonight. ]
