Chapter 78.1: God Kim, you’re the one who needs to keep it up. In all aspects.
Glory [e-sports]
It was just helping Wei Xiao stretch, but Lu Feng still ended up covered in sweat.
After they were done, Wei Xiaoâs body felt a lot more comfortable. He thought about how heâd howled and wailed, and was very ashamed, âEven though I was crying, Iâm not usually so delicate.â
Really. As he was growing up, he didnât even complain when he was with his grandmother and didnât have enough to eat, yet with the captainâ¦
Lu Feng was stunned for a moment.
Wei Xiao tossed the blame at the captain, âItâs because youâre too good to me!â
He was considerate and powerful; Wei Xiao suspected that nothing could defeat his captain.
Lu Feng looked at the 19 year old boy in front of him, and much of the desire in his heart dissipated.
Although he was only two years younger than him, Wei Xiao was really still a child.
A half grown youth whoâd had an extreme shortage of care, one who was eager to be cared for.
How strong heâd been when he was a child was related to how childish he would be when he found support.
Wei Xiao was depending on him.
This understanding made the corners of Lu Fengâs lips hook up.
Great. He was only 19 now, so everything could proceed slowly.
Lu Feng got up, âIâll go ask about lunch.â
It had been over 10 minutes and should have been delivered by now.
Wei Xiao moved his hands and feet, âI asked Old Bai to send up food.â Was that guy planning to come up only after heâd eaten his fill.
Lu Feng explained for Bai Cai, âI ran into him when I came in just now and told him not to send anything.â
Wei Xiao understood. He then asked, âCaptain, have you eaten?â
Lu Feng: âNot yet.â
Wei Xiaoâs eyes brightened, âTogether?â
Lu Feng: âMm.â
Wei Xiaoâs happiness overflowed in his words, âThatâs great!â
Lu Feng looked at his smile and wanted to ask him why he was so happy.
Wei Xiao had already continued in delight, âYou can eat the celery, while I eat the meat, weâre really a team made in heaven!â
Lu Feng: ââ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â
The great demon king was put in an awkward position. Wei Xiaoxiao plus celery, this was really too difficult.
Todayâs points competition still had nothing to do with FTW. They were reduced to being the emperor of the bench after having played four games and could only watch the people on the stage play happily.
Wei Xiaoâs eyes were heated up from watching, and he tried to collude with others left and right, âOld G, how about a training match!â
Old G was happy, âOkay!â
VIVI laughed, âYour words donât count.â
Old G came back to his senses and looked regretfully at Wei Xiao, âOh, my words donât count.â
Wei Xiao egged him on, âGo to your captain and act coquettish. His words count!â
Yuan Ze wasnât at the scene. Heâd probably gone out to smoke.
Old Gâs face was bewildered, âCoquettish?â
Wei Xiao: âYeah, yeah, yeah, when your captain comes, climb up and roll all over the place. Donât get up until he lets you make an appointment for a training match.â
The FTW crowd: Brother Xiao, your English is really good. You can even explain something like this clearly!
The L&P crowd: Quietâs English is no good, what is he talking about? How can Old G roll around and around on the floor like a brat?
Gary obviously underestimated Wei Xiaoâs English level. He thought that heâd spoken wrongly, so he asked him again.
Wei Xiao thought it over, âIf your captain doesnât go for that kind of thing, you can become a crying beauty who yingyingying
cries until he nods.â
Alright, this guyâs English was very good. It was more fluent than Old Gâs Chinese! He was very clear about what he was saying!
Old G refused him seriously, âHow could I do that!â
If he dared to do so, heâd be hammered into a pigâs head by the captain at any minute.
Wei Xiao tempted him, âHow would you know if you donât try? Your captain really cares about you.â
Gary wondered out loud, âHow come I donât know that my captain cares about me?â
Wei Xiao was surprised, âYour captain doesnât?â
Old G: ââ¦â¦â
Wei Xiao: âIf he doesnât care about you, then to hell with your top-jungler linkage. Hurry andâ¦â
Yuan Ze: âHeh.â
Wei Xiao: â!â
Halfway through arranging the rebellion, the proper master came back.
However, Wei Xiao was shameless and wouldnât be embarrassed by this at all. He lifted his face and smiled at Yuan Ze, âCaptain Yuan, youâre back.â
Yuan Ze looked at his clean and clear eyes that held no trace of haze, and his hands itched: How did Close deal with this little beast who had an angelâs face and an evil demonâs heart!
Lu Feng pressed his own cub back down, âWatch the game.â
Wei Xiao was well-behaved and obedient, ââKay.â
Yuan Ze, whoâd been left hanging, ââ¦â¦â
What made it more tragic was that his own pig teammate was still asking him, âCaptain, are you taking it seriouslyâ¦â
Yuan Zeâs goosebumps popped right out, and he conked the big fool on the head, âIf you motherf*cking had one third of that bratâs cleverness, weâd have three consecutive championships by now!â
He spoke in Chinese, and Old G was very wronged as he half-understood, âMy mother is very cleverâ¦â
Old Dog Yuan: ââ¦â¦â
Who dared to think that as someone who was famous in Gloryâs international circles, who had a language buff and was proficient in eight languages, this Old Dog Yuan who had countless foreign friends, would end up having the tables turned on him so thoroughly, frequently, and painfully!
It was unknown if Old Gâs âacting coquettishâ actually worked, or if it was Wei Xiaoâs provocation that was effective.
That night, L&P took the initiative to invite FTW to a training match. Not for points, but they opened a room for 5v5 in private.
Wei Xiao was happy, âNot bad, Old G.â
Brother Cai: âHeh hehâ¦â
Everyone knew that Brother G was innocent in this. You were the real culprit!
The training match was relatively relaxed. Although L&Pâs Yuan Ze came up to fight, their mid-lane VIVi didnât play. A substitute was switched in instead, and it seemed that they were training their people.
FTW didnât look down on it. Each fight they had was beneficial to them, and they wouldnât be concerned over such things.
The two sides played BO3 (whoever reaches two wins first, three games max). FTW only won the first small game.
Sure enough, they were still a strong team even after switching in a substitute.
However, a strong teamâs substitutes were also very good top-level players.
L&P training room.
Gary spoke, âAlthough I canât beat Little Lunatic Q when it comes to speaking, I can beat him in a fight!â
Yuan Ze had a cigarette in his mouth. He sneered, âIt wonât be long before you canât beat him.â
Gary didnât believe it, âHeâs growing fast, but weâre not bad either!â
Yuan Ze blew out a smoke ring and laughed, âAdditional training when we go back.â
Gary wasnât afraid at all, âOkay!â
Only when there was a sense of crisis would there be any progress. How could anyone riding on the front wave be willing to accept getting slapped to death by the wave behind them?
Yuan Ze was really looking forward to this yearâs global competition.
Originally, everyone thought that Wei Xiao would be done with jogging after trying it out. Who couldâve known that he would wake up again the next day?
This time, he didnât set an alarm clock or have Lu Feng wake him up. He climbed out of bed when he heard the sounds of movement.
Lu Feng looked at his dazed and confused appearance and thought that he was going to sleepwalk again.
Wei Xiao tilted his head and looked at him with a tearful expression, âCaptain~â
His cry made Lu Feng want to take a cold shower early in the morning, âGo back to sleep if youâre tired.â
Wei Xiao clutched at his head, rubbed his face, and spoke energetically, âRun!â
Lu Feng: ââ¦â¦.â
Sometimes, he really had no choice but to admire Wei Xiaoxiao. Once he decided on something, he would grit his teeth and persevere.
He said he wanted them to run together, and he really tried hard to get up early and run.
On the third day of morning runs, Wei Xiao was still more dead than alive after the run.
The good thing was that Lu Feng was already immunized and didnât need to take cold showers every day anymore.
Wei Xiaoâs physique was really average.
Lu Feng remembered that he was still alright two years agoââhe had the energy to solo for 48 hours, so his physical strength couldnât be that terrible.
Wei Xiao was awkward and embarrassed, âThese two years passed in a confused daze.â
He spoke vaguely, but Lu Feng understood.
Two years ago, Wei Xiaoâs grandma had still been alive. Wei Xiao had been doing things from childhood, and even if he didnât purposely do physical exercise, he was doing housework every day to help out the household.
Unfortunately, heâd been indulging himself over the past two years.
His grandma passed away, his dreams were shattered, and all the happiness he felt was superficial.
Bai Cai took him to do accompanying training, and he made money, but he didnât have anywhere to spend it.
Additionally, every training game, and every solo game, was torture in disguise for Wei Xiao.
He watched others work hard for the game, watched others burn brightly on the fieldâ¦
Wei Xiao could only feel envy in his heart.
During these two murky years, Wei Xiao was focused on either playing games or learning. Exercising was definitely not on the list.
Going around in circles walking Soybean was already the limit.
When he heard this, Lu Feng really wanted to take Wei Xiao to exercise with him.
19 was still young, and he could afford to indulge.
However, the body was really important, especially for professional playersâ¦
Lu Fengâs shoulder pricked slightly, and his heart plummeted.
âBreathe with me.â Lu Feng taught Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao was confused, âAh?â
Lu Feng slowed down and fell into step beside him, âInhale, two steps, exhale, two stepsâ¦â There was technique to running. Before, heâd just felt that Wei Xiao was messing around temporarily and would stop running after a few days. Who couldâve expected that he would follow him to run for so many days.
Since he wanted to run, he should run in a scientific manner, so as to achieve the best effect.
Wei Xiao followed his breathing and soon learned the rhythm, âIt doesnât seem as hard to breathe like this.â
Lu Feng: âTake your time.â
Wei Xiao said sincerely, âCaptain, youâre really too amazing.â
How could there be a man as amazing as Close? He even regretted that he wasnât a woman!
F*ck!
Wei Xiaoxiao was frightened by his own silly thoughts!
âQuiet?â Kim Sung-hyunâs Korean-accented English came from beside them.
Wei Xiao came back to his senses and noticed God Kim, who was a small distance away from them on the lawn.
Kim Sung-hyun was also out for a morning run. He wore a white short-sleeved shirt, black shorts, and his sport shoes were expensive, limited edition Air Jordans, the type that was more suited to be put out on display.
Wei Xiao greeted him.
Kim Sung-hyun took a few steps forward to catch up, âYou got dragged out for a run by your captain?â
Wei Xiao spoke righteously, âItâs me thatâs relying on my captain and insisted on having him take me out for a run!â
Kim Sung-hyun choked for half a second, â⦠Youâre really capable.â
Wei Xiao started nagging at him, âHow is Captain Li?â
Once this matter was brought up, Kim Sung-hyun sighed, âMuch better.â
Wei Xiao: âCan he play in the last dayâs prize pool competition?â
Kim Sung-hyun sneered, âDonât worry, itâs not a problem to hammer you until you explode.â
Wei Xiao was excited, âOkay! Iâm waiting for you guys!â
Kim Sung-hyun: ââ¦â¦â
He always felt that trash talking with this brat was meaningless. His aura and momentum all bounced back on him!
The hotel garden was quite big, but only the three of them had come out for a run.
Kim Sung-hyun was bored running alone, so he came over and joined them.
Wei Xiao chatted with him on and off.
Lu Feng reminded him, âBreathing.â
Wei Xiao quickly steadied his breathing, but after a few breaths, he couldnât help showing off, âMy captain taught me this. Itâs so useful!â
Kim Sung-hyun: ââ¦..â Who didnât know how to do this? Why the hell were you showing off.
Kim Sung-hyun looked at Lu Feng, and his heart felt sour for a moment.
Theyâd been the same height three years ago, but now he was half a head taller.
Not to mention the figure underneath his clothes; tsk tsk, Little Close, are you planning to make a debut as a model after retiring?
Old Kim felt very sour, âYour captain is really capable. He wonât have any occupational diseases even if he plays for another ten years.â
These were words that Wei Xiao loved to hear, âI think so too. There are so many people who can play professionally, but when it comes to how long they can last, nobody can beat my captain.â
Kim Sung-hyun was envious, âIf Old Li had started exercising earlier, he wouldnât be as miserable now.â
Wei Xiao was very concerned, âIt should still be okay to start exercising now.â
Kim Sung-hyun: âYes, working up a sweat every day can relieve the symptoms.â
Wei Xiao was worried when he heard this, âIs the physiotherapy effective?â
Kim Sung-hyun: âThe problem was discovered early and treated early. As long as he doesnât tire himself too much, itâs not a big problem.â
Wei Xiao was relieved, âThatâs good.â
Kim Sung-hyun was full of self-confidence, âDonât worry, this year, the championship cup will belong to Pro.â
Wei Xiao didnât accept these words, âWhat are you thinking, the world championship cup is surnamed âFâ this year.â
What a coincidence, in the entire league, only FTW started with the letter F.
Kim Sung-hyun wanted to say that it was surnamed âPâ, but then he remembered that there were three seeded teams in the league that started with the letter Pâ¦
F*ck, heâd lost!
Lu Feng and Wei Xiao had gone out for their run 20 minutes earlier, but they ended up going back together with Kim Sung-hyun.
Wei Xiao even had the nerve to disdain others, âGod Kim, you really canât do it.â
Kim Sung-hyun was so tired he didnât want to talk, âShut up!â
Wei Xiao spoke complacently, âMy captain has already reduced his speed. You donât know this, but a few days ago, he left me half dead.â
Kim Sung-hyun: ââ¦â¦â
Lu Feng: ââ¦â¦.â
Proud Flower Kim knew about Lu Fengâs sexual orientation. For a while, he didnât know if he should feel pity or compassion and sympathy, âKeep it up.â
He was encouraging his former teammate.
Wei Xiao replied for his captain, âGod Kim, youâre the one who needs to keep it up. In all aspects.â
Kim Sung-hyun: ââ¦â¦â¦â¦â
FTW was poisonous. Back then, there was Old Dog Yuan, and now there was Little Lunatic Wei.
Was their fengshui really okay?!
