Chapter 4: Wei Xiao, you used him, then tossed him away!

Just. slept. together!

Bai Cai’s scalp went numb. He immediately initiated a voice call, “You f*cker and God Lu…”

He’d known early on that this kid didn’t follow the rules, but he really never expected that he really had no intentions of preserving his own life!

Wei Xiao yawned and said unconcernedly, “What, is your God Lu not a person? Does he not need to sleep?”

This wasn’t a matter of sleeping or not!

Bai Cai’s migraine was about to be triggered, “You really slept… slept…” F*ck, he couldn’t say it out loud!

“Yeah.” Wei Xiao chuckled briefly, “I even pillowed my head on his arm. I heard that it’s what all of Close’s online girlfriend fans dream of.”

Bai Cai: “………”

Wei Xiao seemed to be worried that he couldn’t scare his good brother to death and continued to up the ante, “His figure is for real. He has a full eight pack, without a single one missing, but reasonably speaking, I don’t quite understand. Based on his qualifications, wouldn’t it be more profitable for him to make a debut in the entertainment world than to play games?”

Bai Cai ended up distracted by the shift in topic, “Don’t use your money-grubbing vision to define God Lu’s style.”

Wei Xiao didn’t agree, “I don’t like hearing that. How can the entertainment circle be inferior in comparison…”

“I’m f*cking talking about likes and ideals. Is God Lu short on money… f*ck!” Bai Cai finally noticed that the conversation topic had detoured all the way to the Pacific Ocean and quickly dragged it back, “Stop interrupting me and continue talking about the matter of you and… sleeping together!”

Wei Xiao was surprised, “You want to hear the details?”

Bai Cai only now realized what it meant to lift up a stone and smash his own feet. He didn’t want to hear it, he was afraid his ears would go deaf!

“Don’t judge Close by his cold appearance. In fact, his temper is really good. I laid on him and he didn’t get angry…”

Bai Cai was going crazy, “You… you laid on God Lu’s body???”

Wei Xiao: “What else? With his stature, would I be able to get out of bed if he was the one lying on me?”

“Old Wei, how did you survive until today?!”

Wei Xiao: “Ah?”

Bai Cai was convinced. When comparing the gossip on his Weibo alternate account with this, it was simply like a small sorcerer in the presence of a great one. There was no comparison at all!

“You didn’t refuse to sign with FTW because of this, right?”

Bai Cai felt that he’d figured out the truth. Two years ago, the supernova Wei Xiao was really like his name, ‘valiant and brave’ to the extreme. Today’s rookie king Ning Zhehan might have signed at a high contract price, but he was a far cry from that dazzling level that drew everyone’s gazes.

Not only had Wei Xiao been brilliant in the youth training camp, he’d also taken that team that was missing arms and legs to participate in training matches, mowing through the substitute teams of every major battle team.

Although the strength of the substitute teams of major battle teams couldn’t be compared with the starting lineup, they were still solid, regular troops.

To them, a team from the youth training camp was no different from bronze players meeting kings. What kind of skill could they bring to the game?!

Yet Wei Xiao just happened to have the ability to gather together the entire team’s strength and allow his teammates to play at 200% of their strength, winning one training match after another.

Bai Cai was his support and his teammate. Nobody knew better than him about how passionate Wei Xiao had been at the time.

At the time, many teams extended olive branches to Wei Xiao, but he didn’t think twice before entering the FTW base. There was no other reason for it––he wanted to solo with Lu Feng.

Later on…

The day before signing the contract, Wei Xiao ran away.

Nobody knew the reason for it, and nobody knew what had happened, but nobody was able to contact that little 18-year-old brat.

This rookie king, who was known as the ‘Polaris of the China competition zone, flared brilliantly when he appeared, then disappeared without a trace. At the time, he even went up on the hot search, but no matter how much the various teams hollered and promised high signing bonuses, Wei Xiao never appeared again.

The world of e-sports was crueler than that of the entertainment world, and the speed at which things refreshed was unparalleled.

By the time the new season began, the name Wei Xiao had already been forgotten, and nobody cared anymore.

Later on, Bai Cai ran into Wei Xiao by chance in a game. When he saw the way the opposite side played the jungle like a madman, he could feel hidden pain flaring up in his fingers.

Back then, in order to keep up with Wei Xiao and stuff him with a mouthful of milk, he’d broken several keyboards!

This nightmare-esque psychological shadow allowed him to recognize this beast at a glance.

After the game, Bai Cai had added him as a friend. The other side accepted instantly.

Old acquaintances meet again; Bai Cai’s mood was complicated, and his emotions were still simmering. Who could’ve known that Wei Xiao would start off with the words, “Little brother, do you need an accompanying player? A royal sister, a loli, a sexy or sweet type; as long as you can’t think of it, there’s nothing this play partner can’t do~”

To hell with ‘simmering’! This beast only deserved one word, “F*ck!”

Wei Xiao: “Hey, little brother, calm down. We’re just an accompanying player, not **.”

Bai Cai sent over a voice message, “Wei Xiao, use human words!”

The other side was quiet for two seconds, then sent over a string of question marks. “Old Bai?”

There was a lump in Bai Cai’s throat. He cursed, “You refused to go be a proper professional player and ran off to become an accompanying player instead?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the time, Wei Xiao had said something in response.

Oh, that guy never properly answered. He simply skittered across the topic and took the opportunity to lure him into a partnership. The two of them began to ‘guide’ other professional players.

Bai Cai thought about it for a moment now, and felt that he’d stumbled on the truth.

Did this kid’s sexual orientation tend towards men?

Had he developed desires after seeing the light and run away after doing something indecent to God Lu?

F*ck, Wei Xiao, that was such scum male behavior!

What made it worse was, God Lu still remembered and thought about him?

Two years later, he recognized him just from the sound of his voice?

Not only did he ‘collect’ the video full of trash talk, he also spent two million to ‘buy’ Wei Xiaoxiao?

F*ck, Wei Xiao, you used him, then tossed him away!

Bai Cai’s entire brain exploded, thoughts bubbling inside like boiling water.

“Old Bai?” Wei Xiao was puzzled, “Where did your thoughts go? Wasn’t it just sleeping together? Do you need to be so surprised?”

Listen, just listen, was this human language?

“Didn’t we almost sleep together too?” Wei Xiao’s one sentence caused the boiling water in Bai Cai’s mind to cool down, “Haven’t you seen me when I’m sleepwalking?”

Bai Cai: “What?”

Wei Xiao: “There wasn’t any empty dormitories when I first went to FTW, so Close let me sleep in his suite. I’m aware of my own problems, so I made sure to close the door. Who could’ve known that my sleepwalking problem had upgraded and could even open doors?! I was face to face with Close the instant I woke up. It was really like the sky was falling apart!”

Bai Cai: “………………”

Wei Xiao: “But, Close’s temper is really good. He just told me to get off him and didn’t stab me to death…”

Bai Cai: “Wei Xiao.”

Wei Xiao: “Hm?”

Brother Cai was about to go crazy, “F*ck your daddy!!!”

Wei Xiao pulled the phone away from his ear, and his tone didn’t have any sense of propriety, “Brother Cai’s tastes are quite heavy, but I don’t have a daddy to give you…”

Bai Cai smacked his lips and hung up.

Inside the single person apartment, Wei Xiao tsked and tossed down his cell phone.

He fell back onto the soft bed and looked up at the ceiling.

He’d only slept for three hours, but he didn’t feel sleepy at all.

There was still a long time to go before 1:30PM. Wei Xiao picked up his phone again to harass Bai Cai, “What’s up with you? I was talking to you about my cute little boss, but you pulled up those old things from the past instead? Also, it’s 7:30 already, why aren’t you sleeping?”

He spoke fast and typed even faster. An entire paragraph of text was finished and delivered in the blink of an eye.

Bai Cai’s brain hurt. Looking at the WeChat message he’d just received, his brain hurt even more.

He was still going on about that goddamned cute little boss. Brother, you’re being eyed by the Great Demon King!

Unfortunately, he couldn’t say it.

Lu Feng had told him not to tell Wei Xiao.

Although he didn’t know why it couldn’t be said, Bai Cai wouldn’t dare to say it on his own.

He was afraid that once Wei Xiao knew that he’d sold him out, he would turn around and expose him in return.

Their revolutionary friendship had originally stemmed from mutual threat.

Once it was revealed, their boat of friendship could overturn at any moment.

“It’s nothing.” Bai Cai tried to act miserable and change the topic, “Isn’t it just that I saw the new rookie king and was moved by the scene?”

Wei Xiao knew that he had a psychological shadow about the words ‘rookie king’, and said, “Relax, Little Ning’s a pretty good guy. He’s not an old beast who will toss you behind and run off, or a blackheart who will pocket millions of your savings. Take good care of him; our small business is still looking forward to his patronage.”

Bai Cai rubbed his temples. This was the first time he’d seen anyone scolding themselves as an old beast so naturally and skillfully.

“You’ve already been bought out for two million. Do you still have time for others?”

Have a heart, you little bastard!

We Xiao said, “That’s not the same. My rich little cutie isn’t a professional player. How could they play games every day? I estimate that I’ll only be with her for two or three hours a day. The rest of my time can still be contributed towards our China competition zone.”

Bai Cai felt like his eyes had been burned painfully by this ‘little cutie’, “You decided that they’re a girl just like that?”

Wei Xiao: “Old Bai, develop some brains, okay?”

Bai Cai: “………”

Wei Xiao: “I set my account to male on the platform, and I also included an outstandingly handsome profile image. The one who placed the order must be a girl. What else could they be? Gay?”

Bai Cai stared at these words over and over again. He felt that if he forwarded it to God Lu, they might be able to eat braised Wei Xiao tomorrow!

“Haha.” Bai Cai sent him three words. “Conduct yourself well.”

Wei Xiao: “I keep feeling like you’re a little strange today.”

Bai Cai: “You’re delusional.”

Wei Xiao was vigilant, “You’re hiding something from me!”

Bai Cai: “Can I f*cking hide anything from you?”

Wei Xiao: “That’s true.”

To hell with your ‘that’s true’! Bai Cai was really worried of exposing the truth and quickly ended the topic, “I’m going to sleep. Bye!”

Wei Xiao: “Sweet dreams, memeda.”

Bai Cai stared at the last word for a long time and really wanted to remind him not to act so crazily in front of that new ‘big boss’, but…

Forget it, forget it. Seek your own happiness, comrade Wei!

Wei Xiao ultimately did get some sleep. He’d set his alarm clock for 12:30 noon.

He fed Soybean after he woke up and ordered takeout. After the human and the dog had both eaten their fill, they waited for the boss to come online.

“Soybean,” Wei Xiao rubbed the husky’s head and spoke to it, “This is my first piece of real business.”

Don’t judge based on how he’d been an accompanying player for so long. He’d really never taken on any regular orders.

Just based on his sky-high price of two hundred yuan per game, no player would be stupid enough to spend money to reserve him.

So, this was like an unmarried young woman on a bridal sedan chair––his first time!

“They’re here!”

Wei Xiao’s rich little cutie came online right on time. They weren’t a single minute early or late, and logged on right at 1:30.

Wei Xiao sent over a ‘good afternoon’ emoticon.

The other party was as discreet and cautious as usual. “Hello.”

They were really a very serious and proper little sister. Wei Xiao didn’t chatter on either and sent her the team invitation link.

He waited for a long time, but nobody joined the team. Wei Xiao tabbed out of the game and explained, “Log into the game first, then click on this link to join my team.”

The other party was silent for a while, “I’m in.”

Sure enough, it was a cute newbie!

Wei Xiao was very professional and patient, “No rush. Take your time and ask if there’s anything you don’t understand.”

LU: “Mm.”

Wei Xiao opened up the game, “I’ll take you to experience the game first.”

As a competitive game, naturally had a ranking ladder. The ranking segments were also simple and clear.

Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, King.

Above the King rank were the individual rankings. Each region had its own ranking ladder, and there was also a world ranking.

The major regions weren’t limited to only the game servers, but also included the international competition zones.

For example, Asia, Europe, North America, and so on.

As of right now, across all the competition zones, the well-deserved first place was FTW’s captain Lu Feng.

This man, who’d won his third consecutive championship in the individual competition, had taken enough championship points to put a huge gap between himself and the second place.

However, at this moment, the world’s number one had just created a new account. Let alone individual rankings, this account had barely even started in the ranking segments.

The game entered the matching interface, but Wei Xiao suddenly closed the queue. “Wait a moment. I’m going to buy a skin.”

He’d purposely found an alt account in order to accompany the boss. Although the account had enough heroes, it didn’t have any skins.

It wasn’t long before Wei Xiao was back, “Let me show you this year’s champion skin.”

At the end of each world cup, the makers of the game would create a special skin for the champion.

This year’s singles champion was still Lu Feng.

This was Lu Feng’s fourth exclusive skin. It belonged to the shadow thief––Red Sky Blade.

There was a display page in the team interface. Wei Xiao controlled his thief and had it strike a cool pose, “What do you think? Is it badass?”

Lu Feng: “……”

Wei Xiao’s keyboard clattered as he typed, “I think that this is the most stimulating out of Close’s four championship skins. Look at this cape, look at this red blade, look at this special effect…”

After praising it for half a day, he finally came back to his senses, “By the way, you know who Close is, right? The world champion God Lu, FTW’s captain Lu Feng.”

Lu Feng was silent for a moment and typed, “Yes.”

Wei Xiao: “He’s not the reason you started playing the game, right? Ah, it’s okay, I get it. You young girls all go crazy when you look at his face. It’s a known fact that half of Glory’s female players all joined because of him.”

Lu Feng didn’t say a word.

Wei Xiao then went on to add, “To be honest, Close is really very handsome, even better looking than this championship skin. If I were a woman, I’d want to marry him too.”

Juurensha: ….well I’m sure Close is very happy right now.

xiin: Close: I’ll remember that.
