[IndefiniteFutureV: Here’s wishing everyone a Happy New Year. In the coming year, may everyone and Mix battleteam be ever flourishing and prosperous! I will continue to work even harder in the future and not disappoint everyone.]

When his status was updated, it was already two minutes later.

Ji Zhiyao scrolled Weibo for a while, before preparing to return to the WeChat group chat to see what everyone was chatting about. He did not think that he had only left for a few minutes and the group chat had already exploded.

[ManagerYuanWei: @DB.MHF Captain you get out here!]

[DB.MHF: ? ]

[ManagerYuanWei: What the f*ck! I told you to go post a Weibo status, not repost a status! You actually directly reposted NoHomo’s status? Are you finding the hate NoHomo has been getting too little? If you’re so close shall I wire your salary together onto NoHomo’s card! Huh?]

[DB.MHF: Sure, I have no objections.]

[DB.MHF: What has it got to do with him, I was the one who reposted it.]

[KisExtremelyHandsome: I posted too. Captain, why didn’t you repost my status?]

[DB.MHF: You didn’t bless our team, it was too conventional.]

[LittlePrinceDominatingTheNorth-East: ? ? ? I did!]

[DB.MHF: You’re ugly.]

[ManagerYuanWei: I submit!]

[ManagerYuanWei: You continue being so gay with NoHomo, I reckon a few days later there’s going to be gay fanart about the both of you appearing on the internet.]

[DB.MHF: Remember to ask for copyright royalties.]

Watching Captain’s formidable stance of “if one comes, he shoots one down, if two comes, he shoots a pair down”, Ji Zhiyao was almost dying of laughter.

He actually didn’t have many opinions regarding what Yuan Wei had said, although Mo Huaifeng directly reposting his status did make him a little surprised, but thinking of his Captain’s cold face that wasn’t the least bit zealous about such things... He then thought, reposting is also an update, there’s nothing that couldn’t be accepted.

That’s right, he was this lenient.

Hence Ji Zhiyao selectively ignored all the so-called couple fans who were jumping around telling him and Mo Huaifeng to get together quickly, at the same time he also ignored the haters who were criticizing him for wanting attention and very peacefully played with his phone.

When the television channel punctually reported the time as 12 midnight, Ji Zhiyao turned slightly and as expected saw Ji Qingge cheerfully walking over with outstretched hands. “Brother, Happy New Year! May prosperity be with you, my red packet please.”

This address of “Brother” was especially sweet, Ji Zhiyao could not hold back his laugh. He brought out two brand new red packets from behind his back, passing them to Ji Qingge. “Happy New Year. This is lucky money, one from mum and dad, one from me.”

Thus Ji Qingge’s smile became even brighter. She took the red packets and opened them right away. When she was done with the thicker one and then emptied out a bank card from the thinner one, Ji Zhiyao touched her hair, nagging with a rare gentle tone. “To prevent you from being only focused on spending money and not studying properly, there is only ten thousand in it now. After you graduate I will wire some allowance for you each month, just buy whatever you’ve taken a fancy to. Make sure you’re not unwilling to spend money, then get stolen by some little rascal. No early relationship before your national exams, if you want to date after your exams, you don’t have to consider boys who give you less money than me to spend. If they can’t even bear to give you money to spend, how’s that liking you! Do you hear me?”

Ji Qingge’s eyes were originally red-rimmed, but after listening to him, she snorted out loud. Her brother had really made it sound so simple. Other than her parents and him, or those foolish tyrants who wished to throw money on the streets, who else would be so doting on her?

After Ji Zhiyao had instructed Ji Qingge, he even very seriously recalled if there was any part that he had forgotten. When he was sure that he had advised her on all aspects that he was worried about, he flicked her forehead and told her to go aside to play.

...

With the passing of New Year’s Eve, the new year celebrations went pass very quickly.

Ji Zhiyao stayed at home for several more days, then sent Ji Qingge who had to attend extra lessons in advance back to school, before he returned to the base with his luggage.

Except for him, everyone else had returned.

Ji Zhiyao put down his belongings and walked into the training room. Nuo’s first words upon seeing him was, “I thought our little sister was coming to the base? Where’s she?”

Ji Zhiyao glared at Nuo, making Nuo very baffled before he said, “She went to school for extra lessons. When she has a break next weekend, then I’ll fetch her here.”

He dropped into his seat, saying to Mo Huaifeng who was currently in a match beside him, “Captain, Happy New Year.”

“You’re late, I’m deducting your salary.”

“Captain, I feel that in the new year you’ve become slightly more handsome.”

“Slightly?”

“A lot. But because in my mind you’re already very handsome, so it isn’t obvious.”

“Mm.”

“When my match ends, come play together.”

“Sure, sure. No problem.”

Ji Zhiyao secretly peeked at Mo Huaifeng, feeling that Captain seemingly wouldn’t bring up the matter of deducting his salary before he turned back to ask Xiao, “Brother Xiao, how’s your checkup for this month?”

Xiao replied, “Not too bad. The doctor said, if nothing crops up, after another one or two months of recuperating I would be able to touch a mouse.”

Ji Zhiyao clapped like a seal. “Brother Xiao I beg you to hurry back and save me, I’m about to die from Heng’s mid-laner and jungler team up.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you actually dared to do a mid-laner jungler team up with him you idiot!!!”

Ji Zhiyao was speechless for a moment.

Ji Zhiyao silently turned back with a depressed expression. Watching Mo Huaifeng who was still in a match, he suddenly thought of the waiter and retold the incident again like he was telling a joke. Then he said, “Captain, does that person have some kind of misunderstanding about our relationship?”

Mo Huaifeng immediately used a look that was difficult to describe to look at him. It was especially like a landlord looking at his own silly son. After a while, he said, “Why don’t I give you a few autographs, you can bring them with you when you go out?”

“What the f*ck, it’s not an amulet! Why would I carry them with me? To ward off evil?”

“How would you know it won’t work if you don’t try? What if it does?”

“It won’t unless your handwriting is especially ugly!”

“...”

Ji Zhiyao having regained victory of a set, instantly felt very pleased. He used tissue paper to clean the computer that had not been used for two whole weeks, then turned it on and logged onto the Heroes client.

Satisfaction arose spontaneously in an instant.

During the few days that he was on vacation he did practice at home daily, but the touch of his computer at home and the one at the base was different. The speed of the internet also differed greatly, the gaming experience wasn’t as pleasant as that at the base.

Now that he was touching the base’s computer, Ji Zhiyao was almost bubbling with happiness.

He first played a match against computer bots, to practice his touch. When Mo Huaifeng’s match ended, Ji Zhiyao quit the single room and promptly boarded his Captain’s rank up team.

After a match of 45 minutes, Mo Huaifeng looked a little surprised at Ji Zhiyao.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mo Huaifeng thought for a moment and called for the stats analyzer and Xiao. “I’ll start another match, you guys come over and watch NoHomo properly.”

Ji Zhiyao was utterly confused, then under such a state, was dragged by Mo Huaifeng into the match once more.
