Chapter 116: Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry, I’m only showing it to one person.”

What was the most embarrassing thing in the world?

Being tortured to the point of holding one’s head and crying, and then when looking back, finding that the cause was right there behind you.

What’s more, this wolf had snuck into the flock of sheep and told them about how he’d torn into their throats with his sharp teeth for a good while.

The jungler, who was the youngest in GOQ, “Wu… wu!”

Indeed, it was real crying, not just an exaggeration or an adjective. It was that he couldn’t hold back his emotions and shed the hot tears of youth.

Wei Xiao: “……”

GOQ’s jungler was aware of his own embarrassment. He wiped his tears, “I… I…” The more he wanted to explain, the more he ended up crying.

Wei Xiao quickly pulled out some tissues for him, “Don’t cry.”

GOQ’s jungler finally managed to speak, “Weren’t you the one who hammered me into tears?”

This explanation was obviously a cover up.

Wei Xiao wasn’t in a hurry to go back to their dining room. He crowded in by their side and sat down, “Look here.”

The three from GOQ made room for him.

Wei Xiao’s fingers were long and slender, and his joints were particularly good looking. When a finger pointed at the cell phone screen, it looked like a tender bamboo shoot. “The death knight’s operations were timely, but there wasn’t enough DPS.”

The GOQ jungler was the one who’d used the death knight. He wasn’t crying anymore, “But I wouldn’t have been able to catch up with you if I switched forms.”

Wei Xiao clicked the progress bar and pulled it back, “If you were standing in this position when the giant shaman controlled me, wouldn’t you have had enough time to switch forms?”

GOQ’s jungler: “……”

Wei Xiao continued, “After switching forms, if you started with a heavy sword attack, then a soul scream, I’d have been controlled until I had to call you daddy.”

The three from GOQ: “……………”

It was very reasonable, very sharp, but the question was: how could it be done?!

Not to mention that tricky positioning – even after switching forms, with the heavy sword attack and soul scream, it would still all be useless if the enchanted state wasn’t triggered!

Wei Xiao replayed it again, pointing to the storm hunter and saying, “This part is really great, the stepping on raindrops was very timely.”

GOQ’s marksman was confused after inexplicably getting praised.

Wei Xiao: “Of course, no matter how timely it was, I still wouldn’t have died.”

Marksman-kun: “…………” There was just no way to refute him!

Wei Xiao made it a point to praise the giant shaman, “This ultimate move was really awesome. When I was shot up into the air by your move, I was really very happy.”

The four of them had been chatting together for so long that there was no feeling of estrangement anymore.

They were all 18, 19 year olds and didn’t think so much about such things. Wei Xiao might be flashy, but his words were really interesting.

And the three people from GOQ could also feel that Wei Xiao was helping them go over the replay. Although he would start to praise himself halfway through––it wasn’t wrong, Quiet was really very strong, and he had reason to boast!

GOQ’s support was curious, “Why were you so happy?”

I controlled you, yet you were happy?

If Brother Cai, who understood Wei Xiao, was present, he would definitely say: Don’t ask! Fellow brother, isn’t it great to be alive?

Unfortunately, GOQ’s support player didn’t know this and asked the question.

Wei Xiao smiled slightly, “Before that, I thought you guys were going to be crappy from start to finish.”

Everyone from GOQ: “……………”

When Wei Xiao went back to their private room contentedly, Bai Cai stared at him, “Constipated?”

“Get lost!” Wei Xiao was in a good mood. He placed a bag of snacks on the table in front of Brother Cai, “Gifts from next door.”

Bai Cai: “???”

Afraid that Brother Cai would think too much about it, Wei Xiao said, “After going to the toilet, I saw the three from GOQ waiting in line and chatted with them for a while.”

The corner of Brother Cai’s lips twitched, “Chatted for a while?”

He had a bit of a bad premonition.

Wei Xiao sipped his watermelon juice through the straw in his mouth, “Yeah, I reviewed the game replay with them and moved them so much that they stuffed snacks at me.”

There was a bag of potato chips in the pile. Yue Wenle had already torn it open and was ready to start eating.

Brother Cai was startled and quickly moved to stop him, “Don’t eat it!”

Yue Lele: “?”

Brother Cai: “GOQ hates Wei Xiao to death. The snacks that they gave him have to be poisonous!”

There was a crunch. Yue Wenle had already started eating.

Fortunately, Wei Xiao was drinking with a straw, because otherwise, he might have sprayed his drink out, “F*ck your daddy, Bai Cai. Is Laozi so unlikable?”

Bai Cai forced Yue Wenle to spit it out, “Just based on your replay reviews, who wouldn’t want to poison you.”

Wei Xiao smiled as he scolded him, “Don’t destroy my clean reputation.”

Wei Xiao didn’t stay up late that day. Before he went to bed, he held his cell phone and looked at it again and again. Finally, he carefully saved the photo into an encrypted album.

He was the only one who could see this private photo of the captain!

Ah, he really missed him.

Wei Xiao rubbed his face against his pillow and ended up sleeping pretty well.

Lu Feng’s first physical therapy session was at around one o’clock in the afternoon.

While Wei Xiao was sleeping most soundly, he’d just started the first stage of the first course of treatment.

The doctor ran through a lot of precautions, and Lu Feng acknowledged them one by one.

The doctor emphasized, “It may be very painful. Please try to bear with it.”

Lu Feng nodded, “I’ll be in your care.”

After a full hour and a half, Lu Feng’s entire top was soaked in sweat, and his face was as white as paper.

The attending doctor was very impressed, “You’re very brave.”

He hadn’t made any complaints throughout the whole process, not even a grunt. He’d endured the whole treatment with amazing perseverance.

The doctor comforted him, “We’ll have another examination after a week. If the effects are good, there’s hope that the shoulder injury will recover to 70%.”

Lu Feng’s face was a little flushed, “Thank you.”

The results from the preliminary examination hadn’t been very optimistic.

The requirements towards micro-operations in the e-sports profession were too high. This kind of trauma impacted many aspects.

There were both physical and psychological factors. The difficulty was too high for a full recovery, and the doctor couldn’t guarantee that.

However, Lu Feng’s perseverance and persistence today had touched the attending doctor.

He longed to be healed and had a strong belief in his heart as well as a powerful focus on returning to the game.

Even if he didn’t say a word, this kind of mood had been conveyed to everyone who saw his physiotherapy session.

How could fate be willing to crush someone so persistent?

Because he’d gone to bed early, Wei Xiao also woke up early. He opened up his eyes just after ten o’clock.

Wei Xiao fished out his cell phone and called Lu Feng.

Lu Feng answered it quickly, “Have you eaten?”

Wei Xiao spoke at almost the same time, “How was your physiotherapy?”

And then, they replied at the same time––

“Haven’t eaten.” “It was alright.”

The two voices speaking at the same time made them both laugh.

Wei Xiao simply turned on the speakerphone and went to the bathroom to wash up while chatting with Lu Feng.

The two people chatted aimlessly. Although they weren’t together, it still seemed like they were by each other’s side.

Powerful technology made long-distance relationships less painful, but it also seemed to be more painful in some ways.

After all, if they could only write letters back and forth, the cycle between each contact would be long enough that they could go about their own lives day to day.

However, calling was too casual and easy, making one want to remain in contact with each other all the time and not care about anything else.

Wei Xiao urged Lu Feng to go to sleep.

Lu Feng: “Can’t sleep.”

Wei Xiao curved his lips, “Then accompany me to rank?” He knew that Lu Feng couldn’t touch the game during this period.

Lu Feng: “Okay.”

Wei Xiao took his cell phone with him to the training room and, taking advantage of how nobody else was up, openly kept the speakerphone on as he logged into the game.

City B, 3U Club.

Cong Yi got up early in the morning and pushed open the door to the training room. He found someone inside, “Haven’t slept?”

Asleep: “……”

Cong Yi: “Oh, you woke up so early?”

Asleep nodded.

Cong Yi continued, “Have you had breakfast? There are small steamed buns and preserved egg congee. The small steamed buns are a little greasy, but the preserved egg congee is pretty good.”

Asleep: “……”

Cong Yi: “No, if you want to eat then go downstairs yourself.”

Asleep: “Oh.”

This scene appeared often in the 3U base. If there was an outsider here, they’d probably be so shocked that their mouths would drop open.

Who could tell them what this lazy youth who was leaning back in the e-sports chair had said?

Why was it that when faced with this ‘wordless silence’, someone else could still answer so naturally?

This wasn’t a problem of reading lips or not, it was telepathy!

Not to mention outsiders, even the insiders in 3U were obsessed with and confused about this matter.

They couldn’t understand Sleep God, and they understood the Cong Yi who understood Sleep God even less.

In short, these two added up to the capital word ‘CONFUSED’!

After Cong Yi went around for a stroll, he ultimately still went downstairs to pick up some small steamed buns, “There’s no more congee.”

Asleep: “……”

Cong Yi: “There’s none left even if you want to drink it. I can’t cook it.”

Asleep silently picked up the small steamed bun and ate it slowly.

3U’s Asleep, the strangest captain in the history of the China competition zone.

Oh… the last one who’d held the title was Money.

Money’s famous history didn’t need to be mentioned, he’d spent so much money it covered the sky.

A captain as strange and magical as Money had actually been overtaken by Captain Asleep, which proved just how ‘strange’ Asleep was.

Cong Yi stood behind him, “… Quiet used the blood thief?”

He’d thought that Asleep would be ranking. He hadn’t expected that he would be watching a game replay.

He wasn’t watching a 3U game. It was the FTW vs GOQ game from yesterday.

Cong Yu looked it over and understood, “This blood thief can play.”

After eating three small steamed buns, Asleep stopped. He’d used chopsticks the whole time and hadn’t gotten any oil on his hands. After watching the video, he set down his chopsticks and logged into the game.

Cong Yi saw what he saw, “What a coincidence.”

It really was a coincidence. Wei Xiao had also just come online as Asleep logged in.

The two of them were friends, and Asleep had also set up a special reminder for Quiet, so he saw him come online at a glance.

Just when Wei Xiao was about to click to start queueing––

3U.Can’t Sleep: “Solo?”

Wei Xiao was also quite surprised. He read out loud to Lu Feng as he typed.

3U.Can’t Sleep: “Use the blood thief.”

Wei Xiao: “Alright.”

Can’t Sleep: “Come on.”

Wei Xiao: “Hold on, let me start up a live broadcast.”

Can’t Sleep: “?”

Wei Xiao: “Don’t worry, I’m only showing it to one person.”

If it was solo, then he definitely couldn’t chat easily with the captain, and there was a delay when spectating from within the game, so it was easier to open up a live broadcast for him.

Can’t Sleep: “Who?”

Wei Xiao typed out these words with great joy, “My captain.”

Can’t Sleep: “……”

Wei Xiao wasn’t familiar with the live broadcast app. He messed around for a while in order to get it set up, and in order to avoid being disturbed, he set up a password for the room.

After giving the password to the captain, Wei Xiao said, “Come on, then.”

Asleep invited him. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After the two of them entered the game, they picked their heroes right away. Wei Xiao took the blood thief, and Asleep also took the blood thief.

Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows, “Not bad, I like bullheaded people like this.”

Lu Feng: “Hm?”

Wei Xiao’s radar alerted him, “I only like the captain.”

Lu Feng: “I’m bullheaded?”

Trash Talk Wei had basically met his match, “Captain, I was wrong, I won’t talk nonsense again!” He was very quick to act coquettish.

And then…

FTW.Close gifted FTW.Quiet 520 roses.

Wei Xiao’s face felt a little hot, “Captain… You’re using your main account.”

Lu Feng: “Mm.”

Wei Xiao: “What if it’s seen?”

Lu Feng: “Nobody’s here.”

There really wasn’t anyone there. The room had a password on it, so passers-by couldn’t get in at all.

However, Wei Xiao, who wasn’t very proficient with the live broadcasting business, didn’t know that he’d sent out a link.

The live broadcast platform was linked to his Weibo account. Once the live broadcast was started up, it would share a link on Weibo.

Wei Xiao’s Weibo fan count wasn’t low now, and as soon as everyone saw the shared link, they all rushed over.

How dedicated!

Quiet had started live broadcasting so early.

As a result…

Eh, why was there a password?

F*ck, why was there only one audience member in the whole studio?!
