《Glory e-sports》Chapter 61: Wei Xiao, sleepwalking.
Advertisement
He had to beg and plead for a single round of solo, but now that he’d tied up that vegetable and held it hostage, he could get 9991 games.
Wei Xiao grew more bitter the more he thought about it, “The feelings between those who have fought shoulder to shoulder really isn’t the same.”
Ahhhh, he’d missed out on a full two years. Otherwise, the captain would care about him the most right now!
Lu Feng could guess what he was thinking, “Solo or sleep, pick one.”
Wei Xiao immediately replied, “Solo! Don’t even think of sleeping tonight!”
He was bitter and angry and just wished he could break one hour up into three hours to make up for the previous two years.
It was already midnight, which was time for Lu Feng to go to bed.
He had attempted to maintain a healthy biological clock for the past three years. He’d only made a few exceptions, and it seemed that they were all related to Wei Xiao.
Sure enough, something like self-control really depended on who was involved.
Lu Feng said, “Go wash up first.”
Wei Xiao had already started to boot up the machines, “No rush, no rush.”
Lu Feng: “If you don’t wash up, forget it.”
Wei Xiao: “…………”
Lu Feng: “Going or not?”
“Going!” Wei Xiao could only be docile and obedient, heading to the bathroom with his bathrobe in his arms even as he muttered under his breath, “It’s so hard being me, I even have to wash and get changed before soloing with you.”
Lu Feng had told him to wash up because he’d wanted to be able to play with him for a bit longer, and then go to sleep directly whenever he grew tired.
He’d originally said that they wouldn’t solo for these 15 days of training, but in fact, he hadn’t even managed to hold out for three days.
Forget it, he’d let it go for today and stop indulging him tomorrow.
Lu Feng set up their keyboards and mice with that thought in mind.
The computers in the guest room couldn’t be compared with those in the training room, and the internet speed was a little worse, too.
Fortunately, soloing was done over the local area network, so they weren’t really affected.
The two of them used various configurations and played for a full three hours. Wei Xiao only won two games.
Lu Feng left the game room, “Enough.”
Wei Xiao was unsatisfied, “It’s only been seven games!”
Lu Feng: “There’s still free matching in the afternoon.”
Wei Xiao was still hesitating. Scoring points was very important, but latching onto the captain hadn’t been easy…
Lu Feng dangled a carrot in front of him, “I’ll double queue with you for the free matching.”
“!” Wei Xiao was instantly tempted.
Lu Feng didn’t restrain the corner of his lips from rising and continued deliberately, “Or, you can continue to accompany Bai Cai…”
Wei Xiao yelled, “I want to double queue with you!”
Lu Feng: “Shut down the computer and sleep then.”
The internet addicted youth was very reluctant, “Fine.”
It was already 3:30AM by the time the two of them went to bed. Sleepiness swept over Lu Feng as soon as his head touched the pillow.
On the other hand, Wei Xiao couldn’t sleep. He lay on his side, facing Lu Feng, “Captain…” He called out to him in a low, quiet voice.
Lu Feng’s eyes were closed, “Hm?”
Wei Xiao couldn’t fall asleep. When he thought about what had happened recently, he always felt that it was all very magical…

Ten thousand games with an accompanying player. Such a good boss, such a good captain.
He’d wandered around for two years, but had actually come back in the end.
He’d thought that he’d missed out on this opportunity forever, but who could’ve known that he’d have it back again.
And all of this was given to him by Lu Feng.
The more he thought about it, the warmer he felt. There was no filter over his mouth, “You’re really good to me.”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Wei Xiao curled up into a shrimp ball beneath the quilt, “Before this, only my grandma was this good to me…”
His voice became even smaller as he spoke.
Lu Feng opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. His heart felt like it had been stung by a bee.
By the time he turned his head over, Wei Xiao had already fallen asleep.
The grown up boy who had his eyes closed didn’t show any traces of the recklessness that could be seen during the day, and his pale face appeared particularly tender. His gently quivering eyelashes made him seem like a child who was eager to be embraced in the midst of a nightmare.
Wei Xiao was born good looking, the type with delicate and exquisite facial features.
It was just that his character was normally too flamboyant, and it often made people overlook his delicate appearance, forgetting that he was only a 19 year old youth, forgetting that he’d lost his closest relative two years ago––he’d lost his home, lost the only person he could rely on.
Lu Feng turned over to look at him, observing him without blinking… he looked, and looked, and unwittingly fell asleep.
In his dream, Lu Feng saw a three or four year old Wei Xiao, a soft and fragile little toddler.
He picked up Wei Xiaoxiao and coaxed him, “Don’t cry, in the future, I’ll…”
Lu Feng woke up from his dream.
He had indeed been dreaming, but he was now really holding onto something.
Lu Feng suddenly opened his eyes and saw Wei Xiao, who’d drilled straight into his arms.
“!”
This…
It was obvious that Wei Xiao wasn’t awake and wasn’t aware of his actions. He had only tried desperately to get close to Lu Feng, holding onto him with his slender arms. At first, he had just been hugging his arm, but later on, it seemed that he felt that it wasn’t enough and went on to hug his entire person…
Lu Feng had originally been sleeping on his side. At this moment, Wei Xiao had burrowed himself completely into his arms.
Scattered strands of fine black hair fell on his arm, and his pale face was full of innocence and affection. Wei Xiao nestled in his arms, like a small animal eagerly waiting to be comforted.
Lu Feng called out to him quietly, “Wei Xiao.”
Wei Xiao was sleeping very soundly.
On this island that was warm all year around, the temperature hovered around 25 or 26 degrees Celsius even during January.
The room had temperature controlled air conditioning, so it wasn’t hot at all, but at this moment, Lu Feng felt like he was on fire, heat spreading from his brain all the way down to his limbs and bones.
He should push Wei Xiao away.
But he was afraid to touch him.
Wei Xiao was only wearing a short sleeved shirt and shorts. His smooth and clean arms wrapped around him, and his legs were also lifted up, clinging onto him like an octopus.
Lu Feng shifted slightly.

Wei Xiao hugged him even more tightly, even burrowing his head against his neck.
The youth’s fresh scent wafted into Lu Feng’s nose, and the hot, dry heat that had originally been churning around him condensed, making his throat feel dry and itchy, “Little Xiao…”
Wei Xiao snorted softly.
Lu Feng: “……” Shit.
At four o’clock in the morning, the great demon king experienced the meaning of the saying ‘the evil one brought upon oneself was the hardest to bear’.
It wasn’t until an hour later that Wei Xiao finally released him. He turned around, and Lu Feng reacted swiftly, catching him quickly.
Wei Xiao didn’t fall out of bed, but Lu Feng’s fingertips quivered slightly. It was as though they’d been scalded by this touch.
Fortunately, Wei Xiao was still sleeping soundly and didn’t attempt to sleepwalk again.
Lu Feng sucked in a deep breath and got out of bed to go to the bathroom. He wanted to take a shower, but was worried that he’d wake Wei Xiao up. He could only stand against the wall for a while, waiting until he’d calmed down before pulling on his jacket and heading out.
The room was too hot, and Lu Feng couldn’t stay inside any longer.
There was a terrace at the end of the corridor in the hotel. It was still dark out at this time, and only the sound of the sea wind could be heard in the quiet night.
Lu Feng had never smoked, but at this time, he really wished he had a cigarette in hand.
“You woke up so early?” Chen Feng yawned and wondered out loud, “It’s only 5 AM.”
Lu Feng looked back at him, “You haven’t slept?”
Chen Feng nodded, “I watched other teams’ free matching for a while…”
Coaches didn’t need to go up onto the competition court and didn’t need to train, but that didn’t mean they had it any easier than the players.
Chen Feng had watched basically all the free match games from the seeded players from all 18 competition zones.
This was a great opportunity for them to understand their opponents, and it was also the time to speculate on other teams’ strategies. As FTW’s ‘military advisor’, Chen Feng had to do his homework thoroughly.
Lu Feng spoke, “Pull less all-nighters.”
Chen Feng yawned repeatedly, “It’s fine.” He drew out a cigarette.
Lu Feng glanced at him and continued, “Smoke less.”
Chen Feng: “……”
Fine, he’d already smoked two packs in one evening.
Chen Feng leaned against the railing. For better or worse, his brain, which had been somewhat dulled from sleepiness, finally moved slightly, “You… haven’t slept yet?”
Although Lu Feng usually woke up early, it wasn’t early to this point. Based on his current appearance, it was obvious that he had stayed up all night.
Lu Feng answered, “Mm.”
Chen Feng was instantly energized, “Why, what happened?”
Lu Feng: “Nothing much.”
Chen Feng knew him too well. This ‘nothing much’ clearly meant that something had happened!
“Little Lunatic Wei pestered you to solo again?”
“Mm.”
“You accompanied him to play around until now?”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Mother Hen Chen grew anxious, “You can’t indulge him so much, that kid…”
Lu Feng explained, “He went to sleep at three.”
Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Three o’clock was fine. For this group of internet addicted youth who woke up at eleven o’clock, that was enough sleep.
“He’s sleeping. Why haven’t you slept yet?” Chen Feng was very puzzled.
Lu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, “He sleepwalks.”
Chen Feng: “Ah?”
Lu Feng’s face was expressionless, “He climbed into my bed.”
Chen Feng: “!”
The great demon king broke the jar thoroughly, “Held onto me and wouldn’t let go.”
As an oldie who’d followed Lu Feng for a full four years, if Chen Feng still hadn’t figured out what Lu Feng’s intentions were, then he’d be just like Big Fool Tang!
He’d had suspicions about Lu Feng’s sexual orientation for a long time. It was just that they’d never talked about it, and he’d never seen anyone Lu Feng was interested in, so Chen Feng had simply shelved the issue.
Until Wei Xiao had appeared.
Two years ago, Lu Feng probably hadn’t had any additional thoughts about Wei Xiao.
But now, two years later, Chen Feng was certain that Lu Feng had been bewildered into dizzy circles by this little lunatic.
Of course, Little Lunatic Wei really was very likeable.
Chen Feng considered it for a moment, then inquired, “Why don’t you tell him?”
These two guys were like magnets, and their attraction to each other was equally strong.
Lu Feng stared out at the black sea in the distance and asked rhetorically, “Tell him that I like him?”
Chen Feng: “……”
Lu Feng chuckled, “He’d marry me the next second.”
Chen Feng: “!”
He didn’t know why, but a picture was forming in his head.
“However,” Lu Feng’s voice drifted over, his tone extremely calm, “If you went and said it, or if Bai Cai did, or Yue Wenle, or Ning Zhehan went and said it… he would do the same thing.”
Chen Feng: “……………………”
Damn, Little Lunatic Wei would really do such a thing!
Chen Feng instantly began to feel sorry for Lu Feng.
Wasn’t liking a person good? Why did he have to fall for such a beast!
Lu Feng’s lips curved, and he was actually in a good mood, “I’m going back. You should get some sleep.”
Chen Feng opened his mouth and wanted to say: You like him, and he sleepwalks. Won’t something happen if the two of you sleep together!
On second thought…
Forget it, if Wei Xiao was going to hold onto someone, it might as well be Lu Feng.
As for a single room, how could he let an internet addict like Wei Xiao live alone?
With nobody watching over him, he was likely to stay up and pull all nighters until he died a sudden death!
Based on Chen Feng’s understanding of Lu Feng that had been built up over the years, he wasn’t actually worried.
Not to mention, Wei Xiao was still young, and the current FTW couldn’t withstand any turmoil.
The team had only just been reorganized, and they hadn’t even started playing in the domestic competition yet. What was the point in talking about these unimportant things!
As the fans would say––
Was the regular season a grand slam? Had they won all the playoffs? Had they taken home the world cup?
If they didn’t have any of that, then to hell with falling in love!
In fact, Chen Feng wasn’t too worried about it. Wei Xiao definitely wasn’t a straight man. Just based on how much energy he spent on Close, he must be as crooked as a mosquito incense coil!
It was just that Little Lunatic Wei was oblivious to these things.
There were advantages to such obliviousness. For example, he was very bold in the competition arena and wasn’t afraid of anything.
The downsides were also obvious. This obliviousness that was as thick as city walls meant that Captain Lu would really be wearing away at it for a long time.
Lu Feng returned to the room and took in the Wei Xiaoxiao who was still sleeping on his bed.
This kid never ate on time and was picky when he did, so all of the nutrients in his body had gone into his height. His arms and legs were pale and thin, his shorts were loose, and his half-visible, thin waist…
Lu Feng raised up the quilt and covered him tightly.
He went to sleep in Wei Xiao’s bed and stared unblinkingly at the ceiling.
What he’d said to Chen Feng just now was both the truth and also an excuse.
The reason Lu Feng hadn’t expressed his interest was more because he cared about Wei Xiao.
The Little Xiao who hadn’t had parents from a young age and had no choice but to grow up was very eager for love.
And this love shouldn’t only be the love between lovers.
Wei Xiao, who’d worked so hard in his childhood, deserved to experience all the beautiful feelings in this world.
Lu Feng wanted to give him love and care, have him relax and trust. Even more, he wanted to become the solid backing that supported him and allowed him to be wanton and reckless.
A selfless affection, a warm friendship.
Wholehearted reliance, and a trust that was worth committing to.
––Lu Feng wanted to give him all of it.
Juurensha: Awwww, that’s so sweet, Lu Feng.
xiin: the captain has the biggest marshmallow heart~

8 133[HIATUS] Re:Turn, The Legend of the 4 Swords
Hiatus Note: Currently on planned hiatus while I finish planning the next section of the story to make sure I know where it's going. Chapter 10 will release soon, and 11 and beyond are ""Part 2"" of the story. In the meantime, check out "Clockwork" my other slice of life LN that I will update regularly. Cryo is an average 18 year old, just graduated high school and is transitioning into college. One notable factor about him is he is incredibly unlucky. Over the summer gets extremely invested in a gacha game known as “Ultima Online” and plays it every single day with his real life friends Gig, Yuso, and Shigeto. Cryo becomes a well-known member of the community because he uploads videos online and livestreams and is especially well-known because he almost never pulls good units from the gacha due to his terrible luck, which makes his anger fun to watch. One day, Admin (Administrators/Developers of the gacha game) send him an email inviting him to their facilities to tour them as a thank-you for making content for the game. On his way to the facilities Cryo stops at a gas station to get some snacks and the gas station is stuck-up by a robber. The robber takes a cute girl hostage and threatens to kill her, so Cryo steps in and bodyslams the robber, causing the robber to aimlessly shoot a bullet which bounces off a rubber tire, just when Cryo thinks he saved the day, the bullet hits him in the head with a lot of force, but not enough to kill him, putting him into a coma. Cryo is then transported to purgatory where a cute goddess decides his fate to be transported to a realm that needed help, promising Cryo if he found 4 legendary swords in this world he would gain re-admittance to the life he once lived. Before being transported to the world that needed assistance the goddess tells him that he can maximize any of his traits, procuring thought into whether Cryo should choose looks, strength, or another trait. After being reminded of his terrible luck in which a flashback to his family dying in a house fire is shown, he decides maximizing his luck trait should be the best choice. He is then transported into this new world, which turns out to be the world of his gacha game, Ultima Online. He meets friends and foes and is tasked with collecting 4 swords that appear as lolis to Cryo. Using the gacha system, he creates a party of strong allies to aid him on his quest to return.
