FOG [e-sports]

Chapter 78:

In the game client, Yu Sui sent Shi Luo a reminder to queue up. Shi Luo’s right hand was still on the webcam. After a few seconds of silence, he released the webcam, picked up the mouse and clicked to continue queuing.

Through the webcam footage, the fans clearly saw Shi Luo strike his cheek and let our an exhale.

If they took a closer look, they would notice that their always cool and handsome Shi Zai’s eyes were being evasive, refusing to look at the webcam. An even closer look and they would see that his eyes were slightly red.

Slag man Yu’s wave of rhythm was too strong. Not to mention the sprayers, even Shi Luo’s own mentality had been affected.

Shi Luo had wanted to send Yu Sui a WeChat message a few times to get him to stop talking already. He could always feel Yu Sui’s kindly regards. No matter how possessive Shi Luo was, he didn’t need Yu Sui, who had already stopped doing live broadcasts for a long time, to use this method to lay into the sprayers and help Shi Luo stake his claim.

It was too high-profile and too explicit. Although it seemed like something they’d do given their age, everyone in this industry were people forced to mature before their time. Yu Sui has always avoided talking about his personal affairs, there was no need to suddenly break his silence for him.

But Shi Luo was reluctant to interrupt.

He wanted to hear it himself.

Yu Sui hadn’t said these words to Shi Luo before.

He had always curious about the details of what his boyfriend had been up to during that unknown time.

Shi Luo wanted to know what the younger, 19-year-old Yu Sui did and said at the time.

The queue time for this round was taking a bit long. Through his earphones, Shi Luo could hear Yu Sui talk about him without the slightest bit of evasiveness.

It sounded like he was interacting with his live chat.

“At that time, I lied to him for so long that my conscience couldn’t bear it…Of course, I couldn’t bear it.”

“I was close with Shi Shen’s cousin. Knowing that Shi Shen’s cousin’s family was quite wealthy, I assumed that Shi Shen was also a rich Nth generation. At the beginning, I cheated him of some three-gourds-two-dates kind of pocket money. I didn’t think much of it. Back then, I pitted his cousin of much more. Yes… I have always been cheating others of their money. It was unfortunate for their family to have met me.”

“But in fact, Shi Shen had no money at the time.”

“He wasn’t even an adult yet. He didn’t have any pocket money and he ran away from home. He didn’t even sign a contract to be an anchor. Where could he possibly get the money?”

“But he still sent me breakfast money every day. So, I actually f*cking kept accepting it…how could I possibly be short of breakfast money? I’d been playing professionally for four years by then.”

Thinking back to when Yu Sui pretended to be a hungry and poor young student, Shi Luo couldn’t help but smile.

Yu Sui had really been good at pretending to be one.

“He’s afraid to give me too much because he was afraid I’d spend it all on Internet cafes. So he’d transfer the money to me once everyday, ten yuan each time. Nothing could change it, once a day… So my conscience had to suffer once everyday.”

“That money felt like it was burning my hand…there were a lot of times when I just wanted to come clean to Shi Shen, but I was afraid that he would be so angry that he would blacklist me and then disappear.”

“I was afraid he himself didn’t have money. I was afraid he had nowhere to sleep. I was afraid that, he, this little kid, would be wandering around the city and cross paths with bad people&#k2026;”

“At that time, I was really too young. It was the first time I had met such a person. I was really concerned about it, but there were too many things to consider. I had so many misgivings. I was also worried he would quarrel with me&#k2026;Turns out, I had let him stay out there for so many days for nothing. “

“Now? If it were now, I would just drive to the Internet cafe where he was, block the entrance of the Internet café with my car and just grab him from there. If he wanted to argue or hit he, we could just talk about it once I got him back to the base. It’s just too dangerous to be out there.”

“If it were now, how could I possibly be willing to let him suffer that kind of hardship?”

Shi Luo gulped. He rubbed his neck and quickly canceled the queue. He cleared his throat and said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

After that, he took his phone and left the training room.

As soon as he left the training room, Shi Luo’s eyes instantly turned red.

He really did want to hear what the little slag man had been thinking back then but he really couldn’t quite bear it anymore.

Now that he’d opened the webcam, he couldn’t just quit halfway. He thought he could control his expression, but it seemed that he had overestimated himself.

Shi Luo glanced around. There was no one in the corridor. He turned and went to his dorm room. He closed the door and opened Yu Sui’s live broadcast on his mobile phone.

There was so many fans commenting on Yu Sui’s live chat, he almost couldn’t make a single one out.

[TAT The two live broadcasters can’t stand it anymore. My Shi Zai couldn’t hde the expression on his face. The little fool thought he looked really calm. 】

[Evil’s live broadcast is empty, Evil’s live broadcast is empty, Evil’s live broadcast is empty. 】

[So exciting! ! ! Please continue! Perfect timing. Shi Shen just went to the bathroom. Please continue. 】

[What’s the situation? What’s with this situation? Are you sure Whisper is talking about his touching team friendship story? Why do I feel like that’s not quite right…]

[The forums have already exploded. This is the first time since Whisper entered the industry six years ago that he’s talking about feelings. The focus of the story is his teammate Evil who he has been in mutual love and mutual hate for many years already. 】

[Damn, I’m crying my eyes out here. Are there any old fans here? Does anyone remember when Yu Shen drove thousands of miles to take him to the college entrance examination? Yu Shen also did a live broadcast live then. Everyone was laughing at Shi Zai then. Now, it seems like f*cking Yu Shen had been introducing us to his little friend? 】

[If these two really are… Then I now suddenly understand everything. I would like to suggest to Shi Zai to just honestly be with your Captain. After experiencing this kind of high-level slag man, you will never feel its enough when you go out with someone else in the future…]

[Cp fans, control yourselves! What will we do if he refuses to say anything else because you keep commenting these things! ! ! Whisper please continue, please continue…I have been super curious about what happened before you two had your falling out! ! ! 】

[While Evil’s not around, let’s talk about him from back then! Let’s talk a little bit about things he’s afraid you might say! 】

Shi Luo closed the live chat and looked at Yu Sui’s game client interface on his phone screen. Yu Sui’s mouse cursor was just aimlessly moving about. His voice from the live broadcast, coming through the speakers of his mobile phone was slightly different than usual. Yu Sui seemed to be watching live chat too. With a little smile in his voice, he asked, “Shi Shen’s not around?”

Shi Luo was startled and a little embarrassed… Yu Sui must have guessed that he had gone out to watch his live broadcast.

In the live broadcast, Yu Sui’s voice was very soft, “Okay, we’ll just treat him as though he’s not around.”

“He was good at everything. He had no black history to speak of. I had more black history.”

“Back then, I thought he was definitely good at everything.”

“Did we quarrel before I left for Sacred Sword…Of course.”

“Was he the one who gave me that wound on my head… of course not.”

“There were rumors at the time that we came to blows. Those are all fake. How could that be possible… He might look fierce and he would occasionally insult the sprayers but he can’t really fight.”

“The injury I got at the time was because I had just been discharged from the hospital because of gastric bleeding, I got hypoglycemia and fell down.”

Shi Luo’s eyes were red. He bowed his head and smiled.

Yu Sui was assuming the role of slag man for nothing. In the end, only he knew how gentle and careful Yu Sui actually was.

In his live broadcast, Yu Sui kept his lies so consistent, not a single drop of water could leak through. “At the time, he really had lost his temper at me. Maybe someone had seen him shove me a few times. News got passed around and now, what we’ve winded up with is some cock and bull story…”

“Why’d he shove me? Because he wouldn’t let me leave.”

“Because I was leaving to negotiate a contract to sign him over to NSN.”

“Shi Shen… was a kid at the time. To prevent me from going out, he pushed the sofa on the first floor of the base to block the door. He lay on the sofa and slept on it for most of the night. The next morning, Chen Huo had to accept his takeaway deliveries through the window.”

“After we were able to sort out the blocked door, he then threw away my car key… Finally, Old Qiao helped me to retrieve it. Old Qiao lost a slipper in the process.”

“Aren’t I angry? What did I have to be angry about? I was the one who abducted him and then didn’t take care of him in the end. What right did I have to be angry?”

“I wasn’t angry but I was distressed.”

“I feel distressed for him when he suffers.”

“When he was going crazy trying to stop me, I also felt distressed.”

“Now when we lost the game and he looked terrible, I also felt distressed.”

“I have said so much already. Those who didn’t understand clearly our situation before should understand now, right?”

“I don’t usually like to say anything in public. I’ve said enough this time, and I’ve explained everything that should be explained. I was the one who brought Shi Shen into this industry and I can be responsible for whatever situation he finds himself in. Later, whether it’s waiting for him after the game or anything else, no need to be surprised. It’s all normal.”

After saying that, Yu Sui gave his fans a few words of reassurance, saying that he will play to the best of his ability during the next match. And then he bid then good night, shutting down the live broadcast amidst the overwhelming number of comments in the live chat asking him to keep going.

In his dorm room, Shi Luo rubbed his eyes with his wrist and took a deep breath.

There was one sentence in the barrage that was all too true. After you’ve been in a relationship with Yu Sui, it would no longer be so easy to fall in love with anyone else.

How could this man be so good?

For him, he cleared up a wave of rhythm and even indirectly talked to him about the past.

When the two were alone, they almost never talked about the past, for fear that it would hurt the other’s feelings. And Yu Sui himself was not too embarrassed to bring up his black history.

Finally, he has heard all about it.

Shi Luo put down his phone and went to the bathroom to wash his face. It was the first time, he had felt this good since losing to Saint.

Shi Luo wiped his face and heard someone knock on the door.

Shi Luo’s ears were slightly red. He already knew who had come without even opening the door.

Shi Luo scratched his head. He hesitated, looking at the light switch in his room.

IF he kept his lights on during normal training hours, Zhou Huo or Old Qiao may come to see if something was the matter.

Shi Luo wanted to claim some benefits from Yu Sui right now and didn’t want to be disturbed.

Shi Luo left the bathroom and turned off the lights in his room.

Thinking of what happened under similar circumstances last time, Shi Luo’s ears turned red in the dark.

Yu Sui was really capable. The last time, when he pulled himself into his room, with the lights turned off, he was almost ‘handled’ to death. Shi Luo took in a gentle breath. His heartbeat was speeding up a bit.

Shi Luo opened the door but feeling a little embarrassed, only opened a small slit.

Shi Luo leaned against the wall. His neck was a little red.

After waiting for a few seconds, the one outside hadn’t come in. Shi Luo rubbed his neck. He raised his hand and pushed the door open a little wider.

After waiting for another half minute, the one outside still didn’t come in.

Shi Luo frowned slightly, wondering what new trick Yu Sui was playing. He only managed to see the one outside the door, holding a mobile phone with the flashlight mode turned on before the door to his room was pushed wide open.

Old Qiao held his phone up high, and the light of righteousness shone on Shi Luo.

Old Qiao looked at Shi Luo in complete confusion.

Shi Luo: “…”

Old Qiao looked at Shi Luo. He wanted to say something but couldn’t.

After a while, Old Qiao said incomprehensibly, “Since you were in your room, why didn’t you just open the door? And what were you up to suddenly turning off the lights? And you only opened your door a crack, you…this…”

Old Qiao really couldn’t stand it, “Look. I might have joked about how our base is like a brothel, but you don’t actually need to make opening your door seem so ambiguous.”
