Glory [e-sports]

After he was able to get out of bed and jump around, he finally remembered that he had a cell phone…

Wei Xiao pulled it out and opened it. Cough.

Brother Cai: “The captain’s back?”

Ten hours later: “Where are you?”

Another half an hour later: “F*ck, are you okay?”

Ten minutes after that: “Take it easy, we haven’t played in the playoffs yet. Don’t get X-ed to death!”

The time frequency between each message grew shorter, “Little Lunatic Wei?”

“Are you still alive?”

“Does our FTW still have a jungler king?”

“Holy shit, do you have to go so far? It’s been two days!”

Wei Xiao rubbed at his temples and sent him a reply, “So noisy.”

Brother Cai, who’d waited for such a long time and finally received a reply: “………..”

I shouldn’t have f*cking worried about you!

Amidst Brother Cai’s mother-in-law-like concern was another eye-catching message.

Old Bandit Yuan: “Did you pick up Close?”

Wei Xiao: “……”

Old Bandit Yuan: “I soloed with him before I left. He still needs to work on finding the feeling.”

Wei Xiao’s heart felt a little sour.

Who could’ve known that Yuan Ze would send over another sentence? “I’ll make an appointment to play with him a few more times when I have time.”

Little Vinegar Jar Wei flipped over!

Wei Xiao got out of bed barefooted and went to the kitchen to find Lu Feng.

Wei Xiao found it quite unexpected that Lu Feng could cook, but of course, he was already over his surprise. Now, he wanted to ‘launch a punitive expedition’!

Lu Feng heard the sound of movement and looked back at him. “What…” Before he could finish speaking, he noticed his bare legs and shoeless feet.

Lu Feng dried his hands and walked up to him. “The floor is cold, put your shoes on.”

Wei Xiao held up his cell phone and showed it to him.

Lu Feng: “?”

Wei Xiao was really sour. “Yuan Ze’s really concerned about you. He’s afraid you can’t find the feeling and even wants to play with you a few more times.”

Lu Feng: “……”

Wei Xiao didn’t need to eat lunch anymore because he was already full of vinegar. “Look at this photo, he made you look so handsome in it! Say, do you think he’s…”

Lu Feng picked him up.

Wei Xiao: “Ah…”

Lu Feng first gave him a kiss.

Wei Xiao instantly felt sweet inside, but his mouth continued to complain, “Kissing isn’t going to work; I’m angry.”

Lu Feng set him down on the sofa so that he could step on the soft carpet. “What are you angry about?”

Wei Xiao bit at his Adam’s apple. “I’m angry that you’re attracting bees and butterflies!”

Lu Feng looked at him and smiled.

Wei Xiao sucked in a breath and accused, “You see? Look at your smile, you’re seducing people again!”

Lu Feng couldn’t help himself and kissed him again. “Alright.”

Wei Xiao really wished he could hide him away.

Lu Feng laughed and coaxed him, “I’ll only smile for you in the future.”

Wei Xiao: “!”

Lu Feng’s voice was 1000% deadly when he used to speak words of love. “I only like you.”

Wei Xiao’s heart was pounding, bang, bang, bang.

Lu Feng lowered his voice further, “I only love you.”

It was just a few quiet sentences, but it made Wei Xiao wrap his hands around his neck, his whole body burning hot. “We’ll eat later.”

Lu Feng held his waist.

Wei Xiao pulled him down to the sofa. “Right here…”

The little beast was shameless, impetuous, and unrestrained.

If Lu Feng still didn’t take him back to the base, then Brother Cai’s worries would come true.

After returning to the base, Lu Feng started to get busy.

This was normal; he wasn’t only Close, but also the head of FTW.

After such a long time away, even if he’d worked remotely, there were many things that still needed to be gone over anew.

It was also because he would be very busy after his official return that Lu Feng had taken Wei Xiao and hidden away outside secretly for a few days.

The way Wei Xiao had both yearned for and missed him was something that couldn’t be explained fully with words.

Although Lu Feng didn’t use words, the amount that he missed him wasn’t any less and might even be even more.

They needed these three days to ease the yearning they felt for each other after it had built up for more than two months.

After indulging in each other for so many days, Wei Xiao inevitably felt a sense of loss when they abruptly returned back to the base.

Brother Cai disdained him. “Be a little more promising.”

Wei Xiao stared at him. “You don’t understand shit!”

Brother Cai: “……”

He really didn’t understand as much as he did now.

Wei Xiao was sorrowful. “The furthest distance wasn’t when he was in North America, but rather when he’s in China and right in front of me, but I can’t kiss him.”

Bai Cai: “………………………… Get lost!”

Fortunately, the playoffs were coming soon.

After Close’s return, the team needed to break in the new team formation. Once the training matches began, Wei Xiao’s brain was no longer filled with nothing but love.

There weren’t that many games in the playoffs. If FTW had a smooth journey, they might only need to play three games.

Their first game was against GOQ. If they won, then they would enter the top four.

Then, it was four into two, and if they won that, they’d enter the finals.

The last game would be the domestic finals where they fought for the championship!

If they won the domestic championship, then they would qualify to fight for the global championship, and that would be like receiving a major stimulant towards taking down the global championships.

Also…

This would be Wei Xiao’s first championship.

It was very rare for newcomers to win the championship in their first year after joining a team. It was a rare occurrence even across the whole world.

Wei Xiao hadn’t joined the club as a transfer player. He was entering the professional arena for the first time.

So, it was very significant.

FTW wouldn’t let go of any championship opportunity.

Three years later, they still longed for and cherished that golden trophy!

The team competition was determined, and the doubles and singles competition were now open for registration.

There was no dispute for the singles event; FTW signed up for Close.

Their doubles team had also been determined a long time ago, Close & Quiet.

As soon as the list came out, as expected, the fans were over the moon.

The singles competition, doubles competition, team competition.

FTW was very ambitious!

“Two championship crowns are guaranteed!”

“Be a little more confident, winning three championships won’t be hard, okay.”

“Well, the doubles competition relies heavily on cooperation.”

“Close and Quiet can’t cooperate?”

“It’s not that I don’t believe in Quiet, but that the great demon king is really hard to catch up to.”

“He is hard to catch up to, but I feel that Quiet can do it!”

The ‘catch up to’ that the fans spoke about was referring to keeping up with Close’s rhythm. Brother Cai looked at these words, and his lips twitched: Don’t worry, he caught him. The only person in the whole world who could catch Close is your Quiet!

Finally, the officials released a video from the big brawl opening game.

In fact, the game officials had been constantly trying to attract people’s interest from the release of this new game mode. They’d cut and played many different clips from region to region.

For example, the lost proud flower of Shining Gold Temple.

For example, the duel of mages in Thousand Needle Forest.

For example, Close’s heavenly group’s crazy operations.

Of course, there was no lack of clips showing the great demon king’s slaughter mode in Falling Star Lake.

But these were just clips. They were there to show off excellent operations, provide snippets, and let people watch the excitement.

When they’d gained enough attention, then they would release the whole video so that fans could cut out clips on their own.

FTW’s side really had to go over the replay.

Firstly, there was Close who’d signed up for the singles. They had to figure out all the possible plays in the big brawl and definitely couldn’t screw up.

Secondly, Close and Quiet had signed up for the doubles. They had to take a closer look at these two people’s tactical ideas and make some preparations in advance.

Chen Feng presided over the replay review, and the first thing they watched was the fighting in Falling Star Lake.

Close had played too well, and the review was very boring. Towards the end, Chen Feng suspected that he’d been infected by Little Lunatic Wei as he was getting too good at blowing rainbow farts!

For the sake of the reputation of his poisonous tongue, Chen Feng switched to the Moonlight Wetland.

This was Wei Xiao’s main battlefield. At this moment, nobody thought much of it, and even Brother Cai had forgotten.

Until the chat box popped up over Wei Xiao’s head, super flirty, “Captain Yan, are you tempting me?”

Wei Xiao: “!”

Bai Cai: “!!”

Lu Feng: “……”

What did it mean when self-inflicted suffering made it difficult to live?

Wei Little Xiao was really making sure he wouldn’t be able to get out of bed!

Chen Feng clicked on fast forward. But who could’ve known that they’d get to an even deadlier portion?

The holy priest who was covered in holy light had been surrounded; there were raindrops everywhere and the blood warrior was charging down from the sky. Then, Quiet said, “Stand back.”

Little Ning became the last straw to crush Wei Xiao. “Brother Xiao is so handsome, he’s like the hero who saves the beauty!”

Wei Xiao: “………………………………”

Lu Feng’s black eyes were dark and still.

Wei Xiao reached out a hand towards his under the table.

Ning Zhehan cleared his throat and continued, “No, that’s not right. Captain Yan isn’t a beauty, but Brother Xiao is definitely God Yan’s hero at this moment!”

To make it worse, Xiang Liu came in, his face full of surprise. “Y1 asked us for a training match!”

The four little ones: “!”

Xiang Liu didn’t know what had just happened before and said happily, “Last year’s global champions asked us for a training match…” He was so moved, so moved he wanted to cry.

Many pairs of eyes turned to Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao laughed dryly.

Ning Zhehan: “It’s all because of Brother Xiao. Captain Yan is thanking you.”

Wei Xiao was going crazy: Little Ning, your mouth ahhhhh, Laozi doesn’t want to sleep on the floor!
