Shi Luo looked at the familiar non-mainstream text and the corner of his lips ticked up. However, his throat felt like it was blocked up.
At that time, the two of them had just met. Somehow, Yu Sui firmly believed that he belonged to the Bury Love Family and in order to find a common topic of conversation, every day, he would chat with him using this alien language.
Back then, Shi Luo thought this was some kind of underage alternative lifestyle nutball and intended to keep a respectful distance away but somehow, he just couldnt rest assured. Then this non-mainstream youth was suddenly unmasked and changed shape in a single shake.
He was suddenly the leagues number one medic. And inexplicably, he was abducted from that shady internet cafe and brought into this group.
Hes only ever heard of A look at Yang Guo, the mistake of a lifetime. So, for him, what is this? A look at Bury Love, the mistake of a lifetime?
Shi Luo looked at his phone screen and was about to reply when the WeChat group a whole family on friendly terms buzzed alive.
[Puppy]: [I am here to make a small report. In the middle of training, a certain striker went out for a smoke and has been gone for almost half an hour.]
[Puppy]: [At the same time, a certain medic has been multitasking, playing the game while also fiddling with his phone and replying on his WeChat. It is simply most improper.]
[Whisper]: [R u sic in da head? Why do you just love being such a tattletale?]
[CoachOld Qiao]: [? ? ? ]
[ManagerZhou]: [? ? ? ]
[Whisper]: [... I forgot to switch back. ]
[Handsome Chen Huo]: [*Shocked* Whats with this situation?]
[Handsome Chen Huo]: [Yu Sui! Could it be that youve been hiding it from us? Are you secretly into Bury Love?]
[Whisper]: [Shut up. ]
[Evil]: [Ill go back immediately. ]
[ManagerZhou]: [Its nothing, its nothing. No need to hurry. No rush. Were not that strict here.]
[ManagerZhou]: [*Satisfied* Yu Suis live broadcast today got particularly good results. Keep up the good work!]
[Handsome Chen Huo]: [Oh, really?]
[Handsome Chen Huo]: [Isnt there anyone who cares about me? Laozi, this championship striker, for the sake of his f*cking brother, spent the entire night training with Wawa!]
[Puppy]: [#We Feel Sorry for Chen Huo#]
[Evil]: [...]
[ManagerZhou]: [Oh, dont be so petty. Everyone, go play for a bit longer. Later, lets go out for a midnight snack. My treat.
I trust no one has a problem with that?]
[CoachOld Qiao]: [No problem. ]
[Puppy]: [No problem. ]
[Handsome Chen Huo]: [No problem. ]
[Evil]: [No problem. ]
[Whisper]: [No problem. ]
Shi Luo washed his face with cold water and returned to the training room to continue queuing up for games. At past 12 oclock midnight, Zhou Huo happily came up to invite everyone to shut down their computers and go out to eat.
For some metaphysical reason, they no longer went out for hotpot but chose a place serving pretty good Shanghainese home dishes.
There is good news, and there is bad news.
After waiting for everyone to order, Zhou Huo said, Let me first tell you the good news. The regular season schedule is already out. I will post it later in the group. You will be able to see it on the official website in a couple of days.
Ive looked through it and for us, this schedule is very favorable. It basically progresses from easy to difficult. The first half is basically filled with weak teams. Well only meet teams like Saint and NSN during the second half.
Although you were already teammates early on, its been a few years since you last played together. Moreover, this time Evil has transferred to being a striker. Well need time to get used to it.
This schedule lets us get into gear bit by bit. Old Qiao said, For us, getting into the playoffs is pretty much a done deal but whether we can get into the finals depends on everyone.
Old Qiao is being too conservative. If its for the domestic finals, I think you can already be preparing for that. This isnt what Im worried about. Im now going to tell you the bad news. Zhou Huo took a drink of his tea.
He looked at everyone and said, Ive just received word that sacred Sword has bought both the American Team Secret and the South Korean Team Devils Curse.
What the f*ck? Chen Huo was incredulous. They... bought two teams?!!!
Zhou Huo nodded. Americas No. 1 seeded team last year, Team Secret and South Koreas No. 2 seeded team last year, Team Devils Curve were bought together.
Puppy, if any of them get up to any little tricks, be sure to tell me.
Puppy, who has developed a tattletale addiction, found this very interesting. No problem!
Shi Luo pouted. He was a lot steadier than Violent Shu.
Thats pretty much it. Zhou Huo arranged his work and started happily looking through Weibo. Todays live broadcast was good. We made a highlights video on our official blog. You can go check it out.
Chen Huo and Puppy werent very interested and did not go to watch. Sitting alone at the backrow, Shi Luos eyebrows twitched. He took out his mobile phone.
Frees official blog was something that was made in a hurry. The videos title was also very direct. <>
Shi Luo turned on the mobile phones video sound to mute and then clicked on the video. The video started with high energy and then it was that conversation between Yu Sui and Wawa.
Although hed seen it briefly during Yu Suis live broadcast, he hadnt been able to look through it carefully back then. Once Shi Luo had reconfirmed that no one was paying any attention to himself, he pulled back the video bar and re-watched that portion several times over.
Shi Luo guiltily let out a cough and closed Weibo.
There was nothing worth seeing.
When Shi Luos mobile phone vibrated. Gu Gan sent several messages to him on WeChat, all of which were pictures.
Gu Gan didnt like to chat. It wasnt at all usual for him to contact Shi Luo. Shi Luo opened it to take a look. They were several screenshots of a chat record.
After clearly seeing whose chat record it was, Shi Luo gulped.
[GU]: [Wawa has always been like this. Hes familiar with several skilled strikers and would often look for them to level up together. He doesnt plan it in advance either.]
[GU]: [Hes a bit scared of me and basically wont ask me to play with him. He also wont ask to play with our team striker, Xinran. Because Xinran has a loose tongue and loves to bb him. ]
[GU]: [Its only a trifling matter. If Evil cant accompany him, hell go look for someone else. No one really takes it very seriously.]
[Whisper]: [Its fine.]
[GU]: [I actually have something to ask you. ]
[Whisper]: [? ]
[GU]: [Your milktank play is pretty 6. Its not as good as Angel Swords. Looks like you dont play it much but its still pretty awesome.]
[GU]: [Was this skill a big move you were hiding?]
[Whisper]: [...You could say that.]
[GU]: [Really? ]
[GU]: [Isnt it something youre preparing for the regular season to catch us by surprise?]
[Whisper]: [...]
[Whisper]: [Youre thinking too much. My milktank play isnt good enough to be used in an official game.]
[GU]: [Can I believe you? ]
[Whisper]: [You usually shouldnt believe me when I talk to you about tactics but this time, what I told you is definitely true.]
[GU]: [Why am I still suspicious? Since you wont be using it in an official match, then what were you practicing it for?]
[Whisper]: [I didnt practice it. ]
[GU]: [Video link]
[GU]: [If it isnt for the matches, what are you playing milktank for?]
[Whisper]: [In order to coax a child.]
[GU]: [...]
[GU]: [Arent you afraid Id take a screenshot of this and send it to Evil?]
[Whisper]: [Im afraid, so very afraid. Make sure to not not take a screenshot of it.]
[Whisper]: [Shi Luo, its time to get out of the car.]
Chck out ltst vl on n/o/v/l/bin(.)c//m
Shi Luo saw the last sentence and flushed. Yu Sui was obviously talking to him through Gu Gan but it was like he was caught peeping and he suddenly looked guiltily ahead.
They were at the base. The car had already stopped.
Yu Sui, who was sitting at the very front row, put on his team uniform jacket. Expression completely normal, he said, Stop looking at WeChat and get down.
