Chapter 140: Wei Xiao: The captain and I are together.
Glory [e-sports]
Wei Xiao didnât have that many friends, and he didnât want to lose this vegetable stalk, so he tried his best to save Bai Caiâs life. âScrew your caring for me. Although Iâm gay, I only have the captain in my heart and wonât love anyone else!â
He was still wearing his sunglasses, and when he said those words, it was really like that expression packââwith sunglasses, there is no love.
Oh, except for Close.
Bai Cai still didnât realize that he was wandering on the edge of life and death, continuing his death-seeking behavior. âCome on, your eyes are already swollen. Arenât you tired from wearing sunglasses all night?â
Wei Xiao: ââ¦â¦â
He hadnât hung up the phone, and this vegetable stalk had sold him out completely now. Even he hadnât dared to cry to the captain when heâd called!
Bai Cai was really distressed for him, so much so that his heart was creaking.
Although it was mostly abuse from thoughts his own brain had come up with, Brother Cai was also considering things seriously for the sake of his brother.
Besides Lu Feng, Bai Cai had the clearest view about Wei Xiaoâs situation.
It was a miracle to have a Little Xiao like this despite having such parents.
But no matter how sunny and healthy Wei Xiao appeared, he was extremely short on love.
He longed for love and also wanted to love; he was eager to have a sense of security, and would try his best to protect everything around him.
Bai Cai wasnât that surprised when heâd learned that Wei Xiao had fallen for Lu Feng.
The captain had given him too much.
Heâd led him out of the grief left by his grandmotherâs death, given him a stage where he could prove himself, and given him a home called FTW.
The captain favored him, took care of him, appreciated himâ¦
Wei Xiao trusted him, was attached to him, admired himâ¦
It was easy for such feelings to escalate.
Bai Cai had initially felt that the captain also liked Wei Xiao. Heâd always had speculations regarding Lu Fengâs sexual orientation, and heâd indeed sensed the concern Lu Feng had for Wei Xiao.
But unexpectedly, the captainâs concern and care was really just the preference shown to an excellent player of a younger generation.
On the other hand, the clueless Wei Xiao had figured things out first, and after figuring it out, heâd been unable to keep himself from confessing, only to get rejected.
That was abusive.
Too damned abusive. Even the Brother Cai whoâd read many such small articles felt that he should abandon his account.
There was no such thing as a true love CP! It was all fake!
No matter how happily they shipped a CP in their dreams, it couldnât hold up under a single knife from reality.
Bai Cai thought about it back and forth, and felt that he couldnât just sit back and ignore the situation. He had to pull Wei Xiao back up again.
Brother Cai spoke with great pride, âNo matter how frustrated we are in love, weâre still proud on the battlefield! Real men donât need love!â
Wei Xiao still hadnât recovered from the previous hit.
Brother Cai continued to send himself up to the chopping block, âThere are so many good men in the world. Why love the captain alone? Big brother will help you find a better one when we go to the global competition!â
If Wei Xiao still didnât speak, heâd be able to eat the famous banquet dish, boiled white cabbage, for breakfast tomorrow!
âThatâs not it!â Wei Xiao quickly interrupted his crazy ideas, âItâs not what you think.â
Brother Caiâs expression was filled with heartache. âMm, I know your will is strong.â
To hell with your daddyâs strong will, oh⦠sorry, he shouldnât curse Uncle Bai, to hell with your big uncleâs strong will (neither he or Brother Cai had uncles).
Wei Xiao pulled him into his dorm room and closed the door behind him.
Brother Cai was very calm. Heâd already prepared his shoulders and was waiting for Little Lunatic Wei to cry on it.
Wei Xiao was really out of ideas. If he didnât come clean, then this fellow might get himself killed, and FTW would lose a support player. What kind of triple championship cups would they take then!
âCoughâ¦â¦â
When it was time to actually speak, Wei Xiao felt a little embarrassed.
Coming clean to Brother Cai wasnât that hard, but the captainâs phone was still on. The captain could hear everything he was saying.
Could he hear it?
Wasnât it better if he could?
Wei Xiao stopped hesitating. âI already got together with the captain.â
Bai Cai: â???â
Wei Xiaoâs eyes lowered slightly, his fingers unconsciously touching his pocket, where his cell phone was. He wasnât sure if the captain had hung up the call or not yet.
Wei Xiao continued, âThe captain likes me too.â
His heart felt hot after he said that, as though these words held infinite power that squeezed into his chest.
Brother Cai: ââ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â
Three seconds later, he exploded, âWhat did you say?!â
There was nothing that could sufficiently describe Bai Caiâs mood at the moment. It was as though heâd been eating in a suspended restaurant in the air one second ago, but the glass under his feet had shattered one second later. This fall from such a high altitude practically made his heart stop!
What the hell!
What was going on?!
Had Little Lunatic Wei started going crazy because he was too sad?
Wei Xiao apologized, then said, âIn fact⦠weâve been together for a long time.â
Brother Cai: ââ¦â¦â
The colors on his little face were just like Coach Chenâs drawings.
âAre you f*cking kidding me!â
âI didnât dare to say it last time because I was afraid that your mentality would collapse.â
âI f*ckingâ¦â
âStay steady, it should be kept quiet.â
The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds. Bai Cai still had trouble accepting it, âYou guys⦠when did you get together?â
It was impossible! How could they get together without him knowing? Was his title as the Gossip Emperor completely superficial? Were the countless words in his little articles all for nothing? Heâ¦
Wei Xiao cleared his throat, â⦠After the game against Pro.â
Bai Cai: ââ¦â¦â
Damn it, not only was it for nothing. He simply felt that he was a stupid fool!
So it turned out that theyâd been together for so long, yet heâd even thought that Wei Xiao was lovelorn?
Wei Xiao thought back to what had happened back then and felt a little sweetness in his heart. His voice was soft, âAt the time, I wanted to win against Pro and obtain the winter training camp championship so that I could confess to the captain.â
Bai Cai: ââ¦â¦â You really have a damned sense of ceremony.
âThen, we lost the game.â
ââ¦â¦â Brother Cai had a bad premonition.
Wei Xiaoâs lips formed a smile, and it was unclear who he was saying these words to, âThe captain kissed me.â
Bai Cai: ââ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â
The smile on the corner of Wei Xiaoâs lips couldnât be suppressed as he continued, âI asked the captain why he was kissing me, and he said it was because he liked me.â
Bai Cai wanted to run, but he couldnât move his legs.
Wei Xiao went on, âI asked him if it was the like between a younger generation and his senior, then asked him if it was the type of like between family members. The captain saidâ¦â
He looked at Bai Cai and spoke each word clearly, ââ¦â¦The kind of like where I want to be your boyfriend.â
Brother Cai: ââ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦..â
Wei Xiao continued energetically, âAfter thatâ¦â
Bai Cai couldnât listen on any longer, âStop!â
Wei Xiao looked at him.
Bai Caiâs scalp was numb. âThereâs no need to tell me in such detail. I get it!â
Wei Xiao wasnât finished, âThis isnât detailed. Iâve just started.â
Bai Cai: ââ¦â¦â F*ck your daddyâs just started!
Bai Caiâs brain was buzzing. After sorting things out in his mind for a long time, he asked, âSo, youâre not lovelorn.â
Wei Xiao: âOf course.â
Bai Cai was going crazy. âThen why did you look like the heavens were splitting apart when you played against HU!â
Wei Xiao: ââ¦â¦â He didnât want the captain to hear about this.
Bai Cai couldnât figure it out, âTell me, did you look normal then? Could it be that you miss the captain because heâs been gone for too long?â
Missed him so much he went into seclusion? Missed him until the skies collapsed? Until he had to take his anger out on HU?
Wei Xiao couldnât answer. This was one of the reasons he didnât want to come clean to Bai Cai.
He could talk about anything but the captainâs shoulder.
Nobody at FTW could accept such news.
Wei Xiao breathed lightly. âYes. Itâs because I miss him. Is that not allowed?â
Bai Cai: ââ¦â¦â
Wei Xiao continued darkly, âYou donât get it. Long distance love is very difficult. I miss him every day, and it starts to pile up. At first, I could still suppress it, but after getting stimulated by HU, I couldnât hold it in any longer.â
Bai Cai: ââ¦â¦â
Wei Xiao continued âcomplainingâ, âJust think about how my life has been over the past month! I get up in the morning without a morning kiss, canât hold hands during lunch, thereâs no kiss as a reward for winning the training matches, and before sleepingâ¦â
Bai Caiâs ears were going to go deaf. He interrupted him, âYouâ¦â Could you be a little less shameless!
Wei Xiao spread his hands, âSigh, youâve been single since you were born. You donât understand.â
Bai Caiâs eyes were also going to go blind., âI was an IDIOT in capital letters for being worried about you!â
Brother Cai left, his mouth stuffed with dog food and anger.
There wasnât a messy situation, he wasnât lovelorn, and there was no abusive situation either. It was just bucket after bucket of fiery hot dog food; what was up with that!
After returning to his own room, Bai Cai realized something else after the fact, âHoly shit⦠LUâ¦â
Was that little sister who was number one on the Quiet support rankings really the great demon king?
Brother Cai was paralyzed.
All the dog food heâd been fed that night wasnât eaten unjustly.
After all, if he changed his name to Soybean, then heâd only be able to eat dog food.
As soon as Bai Cai left, Wei Xiao immediately took out his cell phone. The call duration: 16 minutes.
The captain hadnât hung up.
Heâd heard everything heâd said to Bai Cai.
Wei Xiao stared fixedly at his cell phone. His mouth, which had dared to say anything just now, fell silent again.
Lu Fengâs low voice came out of the speaker, âIs Bai Cai gone?â
Wei Xiao abruptly came back to his senses. âYes.â
The two of them paused for a while. The call time on the screen gradually increased, and each second seemed to sync up to his heartbeat.
Lu Feng: âThe day we lost to Pro was the happiest moment in my life.â
Wei Xiaoâs fingers clenched tight around his cell phone.
Lu Feng seemed to be speaking from right next to his ear, âThank you.â
Thank you for coming to my side, thank you for liking me, thank you for being willing to stand with me and support FTW.
xiin: Bai Cai, the exploded vegetable.
