Chapter 138 Little Xiao, don’t be angry anymore, okay?

On the other side of the world, Lu Feng watched the live broadcast in silence.

The first match lasted 40 minutes.

The second one lasted 30 minutes.

Adding on the BP link, it all added up to about an hour and a half. Lu Feng didn’t move at all during this time, maintaining the same position as he stared at the screen.

In live broadcasts for important events in Glory, the viewer could lock in on a player’s perspective. Generally speaking, everyone would choose to watch from the god perspective as it made it more convenient to see the overall situation and was more exciting to watch.

But Lu Feng only focused on one perspective. In the first game, he only watched the shadow thief, and in the second game, he only watched the berserker thief.

The competition results, player operations, team cooperation… he didn’t notice those at all.

He just watched Wei Xiao.

Locking in on a perspective meant that the viewer could only see what that player could see. It was similar to playing the game themselves.

For example, Lu Feng was now locked in on Wei Xiao’s perspective. It was as though he was the one sitting in front of a computer, and the only difference was that he couldn’t operate the hero in the canyon. He could only watch Wei Xiao play.

In the first game, everyone was surprised and debating over whether or not the shadow thief who’d just reached level six would be able to brush out nine light arcs. Only Lu Feng was very calm.

Based on that starting point, that damage control, that continuous combo, it could definitely be brushed out.

Lu Feng was too familiar with the shadow thief; he was so familiar with it that he could estimate the detailed data of an attack from every trace of movement.

However, at this moment, he saw a different type of familiarity.

It was Wei Xiao’s familiarity with the shadow thief.

Or in other words, it was Wei Xiao’s familiarity with him.

How was this anything like Wei Xiao’s shadow thief? It was clearly Wei Xiao in the canyon, using Lu Feng’s shadow thief.

Lu Feng watched without blinking. It was as though he could see the young Wei Xiaoxiao.

Stubbornly propping up his home that was missing pillars, persisting in growing up amidst the wind and rain, proving stubbornly to everyone––

I can do it.

I’m very strong.

I don’t need to rely on anyone and can still be the best!

Lu Feng’s heart hurt.

He wanted to support Wei Xiao, wanted him to rely on him, wanted to see him live freely and easily, and have a simple and happy life.

But…

He’d given him new pressure and pain.

Lu Feng leaned back against his chair and could only feel the slight pain in his shoulder.

The nine light arcs that flashed brilliantly in the canyon shone in his eyes, bringing out the darkness hidden in the depths of his soul.

Lu Feng thought that he’d stopped resenting Lu Mingze a long time ago.

When his mother cried when he was a child, Lu Feng had hated him.

When he saw his absurd lifestyle, Lu Feng had blamed him.

After being locked in a dark house and left to starve for three days and three nights, Lu Feng had wanted to go up and fight against him.

Later, Lu Feng had let it all go.

Lu Mingze wasn’t worth his hate, wasn’t worth him thinking of him, and not worth him ruining his life over.

Today, Lu Feng found that he still hated him.

He’d destroyed too much of him. Why couldn’t he at least have left him a piece of clean soil to work with?

If he hadn’t been injured, if his shoulder was still good, wouldn’t he be able to accompany Wei Xiao to continue forward?

The singles, the doubles, the team competition.

In this competition arena that had given him light during his darkest time, would he have been able to freeze time at the moment when the light shone the most brilliantly?

If he hadn’t met Wei Xiao.

Lu Feng wouldn’t have been so unreconciled.

People always had to move forward. Those who’d experienced too many disasters would have long become used to regret.

What Lu Feng could do was to do the best he could with what he had.

Make choices, then stick with them.

No regrets.

But now…

He was unreconciled.

He didn’t want Wei Xiao to have regrets.

He could get used to it, but he couldn’t tolerate that Wei Xiao would have to compromise.

This eye-catching youth who was like a brilliant sun.

He should only be bathed in dazzling light that held no haze.

In these two matches, nobody could get a handle on Wei Xiao’s mood.

Only Lu Feng––

Across the ocean, across the dawn and sunset, he could sense all of Wei Xiao’s moods.

The cold and cool shadow thief, the arrogant berserker thief, the endless slaughter in the canyon, all of it reflected a restless heart.

Updated from novelhall[.]com

He was so uneasy, so helpless, so afraid, yet he was still stubbornly remaining strong.

Wei Xiao was still stubbornly telling Lu Feng, “… I can do it.”

Lu Feng closed his eyes. The blood gushing out from his heart felt both bitter and astringent, numbing his limbs.

He’d said he would protect him. He’d said that he would give him happiness.

Yet in the end, he was the one being protected, the one being taken care of.

Wei Xiao.

Wei Little Xiao…

Wei Xiao’s amazing speech exploded across the whole internet.

The girlfriend fans who’d fallen for Quiet’s little face, his strength that could overturn the canyon, and also his various flashy operations all exploded at once. “Who is it?!!!”

“Which little bitch abducted my God Q?!”

“I won’t allow it, I won’t allow it. My husband’s only 19 years old, he can’t fall in love early!”

“19 isn’t that early, but I’m only 16. God Q, wait for me!”

There were also tens of thousands of mama fans. “Baby Q, don’t get cheated by bad women ahhhh!”

“Baby Q, be obedient. Let’s concentrate on the game, don’t let your heart and body get cheated away!”

The CP fans’ ships collapsed directly. “I’ve known for a long time that everyone in the Glory circle are straight men, but…”

“My watering vegetables CP, my twin junglers CP, sorry… I’ve really become a seclusion sister at this time.”

watering vegetables – Wei Xiao x Bai Cai

Of course, there were the sour and jealous straight men. “It must be LU from the support rankings. Tsk tsk, you haven’t made any real achievements yet, but you’ve already gotten yourself a rich woman.”

“It’s e-sports, what kind of love relationship are you trying to have? Have you gotten first place in the regular season, a grand slam in the playoffs, and the global championship trophy yet?”

“Are you already so full of yourself after winning just a few games? I’m just going to sit and wait for FTW to mess up.”

“Their captain left the team, and their newcomer fell in love. The rest consist of the old, weak, sick, and disabled. FTW is going to be useless this season!”

These words were too provocative. FTW’s game fans swarmed up, forgetting about a small thing like falling in love. They were first going to flame the haters until their heads were bloody before talking about anything else!

When Wei Xiao returned backstage, the lounge was filled with silence.

Chen Feng, as someone who knew the situation, didn’t know what to say, and Brother Cai, as half an insider, was extremely flustered, worried that he’d come out of the closet on the spot.

Tang Chen and Little Ning’s thoughts were completely off track. “Is it that LU?”

Wei Xiao: “……”

Brother Cai’s inner thoughts: It’s Lu, but it’s not LU!!

Wei Xiao nodded. “Yes.”

Tang Chen and Little Ning: “!!!”

Brother Cai abruptly turned his head to look at him: Holy shit?

Chen Feng couldn’t continue listening anymore. They’d only just started, yet he was already making trouble. Were they still aiming to get number one in the group or not!

“Let’s go.” Chen Feng’s voice was cold yet compelling. “Back to the base and review the game.”

Little Ning and Brother Tang fell silent, but Bai Cai was writing out 100,000 words in his heart––

What was the situation?

What did Wei Xiao say ‘yes’ for?

LU was the captain?

That legendary number one fan in Wei Xiao’s support rankings was the captain?

Brother Cai was dazzled. As the Gossip Emperor, he understood a lot.

For example, every time LU sent Wei Xiao gifts, it was always hearts and roses, and the number of gifts were very unique.

520 gifts, 1314 gifts.

It was like a confession every time, and simply couldn’t be more obvious and direct.

With that…

That was the captain?

Speaking of which, last time when Wei Xiao and Asleep had been streaming, the captain had also given him 1314 gifts.

At the time, Bai Cai had thought that it was Wei Xiao who’d tricked the captain so that he could eat some sugar for himself. Now, when he looked back…

Bai Cai was shocked silly. He’d scared himself with his own thoughts.

Could it be, maybe, did it mean…

The two of them…

Had the two of them been together for a long time?!

A cold wind blew over as soon as they stepped out of the arena. Brother Cai calmed down.

What was he thinking!

Even without discussing whether or not the captain’s character settings had collapsed or not, just simply based on Wei Xiao’s current appearance, it didn’t seem like it.

If that fake LU was the captain, then why would Wei Xiao look like he was lovelorn? Why would he act up and go crazy all night?

If the two of them were already in love, wouldn’t Wei Xiao be up in heaven?

Why would he appear so cold and chilly like he was a refrigerator?

It didn’t make sense!

Based on Brother Cai’s understanding of Wei Xiao over several years, once this guy’s heart was blooming with happiness, he would be both snarky and bratty, and his coquettish words would be enough to drown out the whole venue.

But look at his current appearance. It was 100% certain that he was in a bad mood, and it was an incredibly bad, super terrible mood.

Who could make his mood swing to rock bottom?

Other than the captain, there was nobody else.

Why would the Wei Xiao whose red heart was pointed at Close feel so sad?

There was only one reason–-

Lovelorn!

Bai Cai went back and forth and logically came to his final answer:

Wei Xiao was lovelorn.

The reason why he admitted to Little Ning and the others that LU was the person he liked was just to cover up the truth.

He couldn’t just say that he liked the captain, right?

As soon as he said that, Little Ning might kick the bucket. How would FTW play tomorrow’s game?!

Oh, they wouldn’t even have to play in the regular season at all. Where were they supposed to go look for a new mid-laner?!

With this in mind, Bai Cai had figured it all out.

In short, LU couldn’t be the captain.

Based on that style, that 5201314, even if the name was changed to Soybean, he still wouldn’t believe that that was FTW’s cold and cool great demon king!

Wei Xiao’s cell phone rang just as they returned to the base and got out of the car.

Bai Cai tried to sneak a peek.

Wei Xiao held down the screen so that he couldn’t see.

Bai Cai: “……”

Wei Xiao: “I’m going to take a call first.”

Chen Feng nodded, “Mm.”

Wei Xiao went straight upstairs, going back to his room. After locking the door, his fingertips gently unlocked the screen.

The name that lived right at the tip of his heart entered his eyes––Close.

Wei Xiao took a light breath, pressing down the sour and astringent feeling that rushed up. He connected the call, “Captain.” He tried to keep his voice even.

Lu Feng: “……”

Just listening to the sound of his breathing made Wei Xiao’s eyes grow red, “Did you just wake up?”

Lu Feng: “I haven’t slept.”

His low voice rang out in the quiet room, making it even more quiet.

Wei Xiao paused. “You still have to go do your physiotherapy today. If you didn’t sleep all night…”

Lu Feng interrupted him, “I watched the game.”

Wei Xiao: “……”

Lu Feng whispered, “You played well.”

Wei Xiao had heard him say these words to him after every game.

But it was different this time.

Wei Xiao’s chest seemed to have been sprinkled with a handful of salt when he heard him say these words. It made his insides burn with pain.

“We’re going to review the game in a bit. I’m going to…” Wei Xiao wanted to hang up. He didn’t want to cry until his eyes were red before going to the training room. It was too hard to explain, and he also didn’t want to explain.

But Lu Feng called out to him softly, “Little Xiao.”

Wei Xiao leaned back against the door, his body as stiff as if he’d been standing out in the cold winter for an hour, “Yeah.”

Lu Feng continued, “In the future, I’ll tell you everything.”

Wei Xiao’s eyes opened wide. The hand that was hanging to the side reached behind him, searching for the doorknob for support.

It was a little difficult for Lu Feng to speak, but he was very serious, “It’s not that I don’t believe in you. It’s just that I’m not used to it.”

He wasn’t used to communicating with others, wasn’t used to sharing things with others. He was even less used to having a Little Xiao behind him that he could rely on.

Wei Xiao’s lips trembled. He couldn’t say anything.

“Little Xiao,” Lu Feng’s voice was extremely gentle, “Don’t be angry anymore, okay?”

Wei Xiao held back for a long time but still ended up crying like a mess.

He didn’t make any sound, but his tears flowed fiercely. If anyone saw this scene, they would be surprised that a single person could shed so many tears.

“Captain…”

“Mm.”

“Next week… Can you send me the check-up report directly?”

Lu Feng replied, “Alright.”

Lu Feng had a check-up every Friday. There was also a game between FTW and TPT next Friday, at 8PM.

8PM in China happened to be 8AM where Lu Feng was.

After Wei Xiao finished playing the game would be when Lu Feng’s check-up results for the new week came out.

Wei Xiao didn’t say it out loud, but what he thought in his heart was––

I’ll win the game.

So you have to be alright, too.
