Money spoke in a fit of anger, “Who wants to pour out their bitterness to you? Bye bye, see you later!”

Then, he thought about how he really didn’t have anyone to talk about this to during this period of time, and eventually forced himself to put up with it.

Wei Xiao also abided by their agreement and acted as a good listener.

Money’s mood improved after two full games. He’d just changed his attitude towards Wei Xiao and felt that this brat could act human, then thought about what he was actually looking forward to. Suddenly…

Like hell he was human, he was definitely a beast!

Wei Xiao’s mouth might be bratty, but he listened very carefully.

When it came to Mo Hui’s troubles, if an ordinary person heard about them, they might want to pick up the keyboard and kill him with it.

Was this called trouble?

Did the troubles of the rich all look like this?

But, in fact, this was really very frustrating for Mo Hui.

People would always have their own pursuits in life. Mo Hui still longed to gain recognition even if he was born in such a rich family.

With such an outstanding sister, it was difficult for Mo Hui to be acknowledged in his existing circles. No matter how much he had in a material sense, a life without any sense of achievement was boring.

It hadn’t been easy for him to encounter Glory, and it hadn’t been easy for him to make achievements in the professional arena. It hadn’t been easy to gain the recognition of countless people, and Mo Hui didn’t want to lose any of it.

The age of 21, 22 was a bit awkward.

He was the same age as Lu Feng, but his birthday came a bit before his.

He wasn’t old enough to retire, but he wasn’t young either. It really wasn’t time for him to fool around anymore.

Mo Hui’s parents had given him three years of freedom. They hadn’t interfered in his dreams of playing professionally, and they hadn’t forced him to do anything. They hadn’t even limited his pocket money and had let him enjoy himself happily.

His parents had given him time, so he should know how to behave in this situation.

RR’s performance wasn’t bad, and he’d become a star player in China, but…

That small signing fee wasn’t even enough to cover his Weibo lucky draws.

Was he going to retire just like this?

Mo Hui was unreconciled to the idea.

RR had ushered in new traces of life and was climbing upwards. He’d waited for so long; how could he be willing to give up now!

A game just ended, and the big ‘Victory’ word pierced into his eyes, making Mo Hui’s nose grow sour.

Victory.

Victory.

He wanted to win, wanted the championship, wanted to play in the globals, wanted to stand under the dazzling golden rain and represent the ultimate Glory!

Wei Xiao continued to queue them for the next game. Just as they cut into the game screen, he asked one question, “What are you thinking about it so much for?”

Money steadied his mood. “You don’t feel any pressure; you have no worries.”

Wei Xiao stared at the screen. “I do have them. Close has already held on for three years; FTW has wasted three years. I can’t let them lose again.”

What’s more, this year was the fourth year of the agreement. If they couldn’t win the global championship this year, FTW’s future would be uncertain.

If Qing Lei pulled out, would the FTW that hadn’t been able to succeed, be able to raise capital to continue operating?

Even if there were investors that were interested, would they dare to invest with Qing Lei pressuring them?

Of course, this gambling agreement didn’t explicitly say that Lu Feng had to listen to everything Qing Lei wanted, but as Lu Feng’s biological mother, Qing Lei could make use of this agreement to control many of his rights and interests.

She could control FTW, and Lu Feng, as a descendant of the Lu Family, could even be used to check and balance Lu Mingze.

This was the most disgusting aspect of Qing Lei’s character.

Wei Xiao didn’t dare to lose, and he couldn’t lose.

He couldn’t imagine how Lu Feng had survived those first three years, but he would definitely accompany him to the peak this year.

So that he could break away from Qing Lei, break away from the Lu Family, and just be himself.

Mo Hui: “Your captain doesn’t have it easy.”

Wei Xiao’s heart felt like it had been cut by a blunt knife.

Mo Hui continued, “I know a bit about his family. Aunt Qing is a little…” He didn’t know how much Wei Xiao knew, so he didn’t say too much about it.

Wei Xiao didn’t have any intention of exposing the captain’s scars. He repeated his earlier words, “There’s really no need to think so much.”

He added the part that he hadn’t finished before, “Do your best to prove yourself. The people who love you will see it.”

Mo Hui was stunned. His heart, which had felt gloomy for days, suddenly lightened up slightly.

Wei Xiao took the shadow thief in this game. He brushed out nine light arcs in the dragon pit, causing the chat channel to explode as they asked who he was.

Wei Xiao typed, “Look at my ID.”

“Close?”

Wei Xiao smiled like a fox. “It’s I Love Close The Most!”

Money came back to his senses: Where’s your dignity!

The other side was also choked by his words. In order to test out the shadow thief, they gathered in the mid-lane and started a wave of group fights.

Mo Hui was playing mage in this game. His performance in the mid-lane was really mediocre, and Wei Xiao cursed at him over it from beginning to end.

Mo Hui clumsily dealt out damage, so angry that his lungs hurt. “We won’t lose.”

Wei Xiao: “We won’t lose because I’m damned amazing.”

Mo Hui couldn’t find anything to refute him with.

Wei Xiao sacrificed Money and took down a pentakill, stabilizing the situation. The other side didn’t dare to act so arrogantly anymore as they grew a bit scared of the shadow thief.

Wei Xiao was left with a bit of leisure time. “Captain Mo, isn’t it time to talk about my little captain now?”

The corner of Mo Hui’s mouth twitched. “Little… what?”

Wei Xiao: “A young Close!”

It was really a sweet topic when he thought about it.

Mo Hui naturally knew what he was talking about, but it made his skin break out with goosebumps. “He was a good student, particularly outstanding. The previous person who was as outstanding as him in our school was my elder sister.” It was really too damned cruel. First, there was his sister, and then there was a fellow classmate. Money really deserved to have gone into seclusion from all the comparisons.

Wei Xiao: “What else?”

Mo Hui thought back. “His face was even more paralyzed than it is now, but he was just as handsome back then. Many people chased after him…”

He spoke in general terms, saying that Lu Feng had basically been the model child back then. He’d been excellent in all aspects; he always got top grades, was good at sports, good at learning, good at following the rules, and was polite and handsome.

The word ‘impeccable’ seemed to have been tailor-made for him.

Mo Hui felt a little sour as he spoke, “Tell me, is this still…”

He hadn’t finished saying the word ‘human’ when Wei Xiao interrupted him, “Is that it?”

Mo Hui: “???”

The disappointment in Wei Xiao’s tone wasn’t fake. “I’ve been chatting with you for three rounds, just for you to tell me things I already know?”

Mo Hui: “…………”

Wei Xiao went back over it in detail. “Excellence, top grades, being capable, handsome… aren’t these all things that are well-known?”

Could his tone be anymore reasonable and righteous than it already was?

Mo Hui didn’t want to ask that out loud. He was afraid that Wei Xiao might really be able to pull it off!

It just happened that they’d finished a game. Captain Mo decided to bail. “Bye bye.”

Wei Xiao: “Ah…..”

Mo Hui: “I’m going to sleep.”

Wei Xiao: “???”

He’d been cheated by this ‘evil businessman’!

When Brother Cai came over to call him out for lunch, Wei Xiao was still angry.

Lu Feng came downstairs as well and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Wei Xiao had originally intended to provoke Brother Cai to vent his anger, but it all turned into grievances as soon as he saw his boyfriend. “Money bullied me.”

Lu Feng: “Hm?”

Wei Xiao had nothing to feel embarrassed over in front of Brother Cai. He went up and kissed the captain, “He lied to me and said that he had exclusive information about you when you were a child. As a result, he only said that you were good at learning, good at sports, good at everything, and handsome… These are things that the whole world knows. I didn’t need him to tell me that!”

Lu Feng: “……”

Brother Cai: “Pfft…”

In the future, he would absolutely never drink water when Wei Xiao was present!

Wei Xiao felt aggrieved to death. “I was cheated so miserably!” He was extremely unhappy about having his expectations let down.

Lu Feng was amused and asked him, “What do you want to know?”

Wei Xiao thought about it. “For example, your first love, the first person you liked. For example…”

Lu Feng: “In that case, you’ve asked the wrong person. Mo Hui wouldn’t know.”

Wei Xiao filled up with vinegar. “So there really was a first love!”

Lu Feng: “Mm.”

This time, Wei Xiao blew up completely. “This is, it’s also normal, there’s no need… no need to tell me about it!”

Ahhhhh, who was it, who exactly was it? Was it a boy or a girl, were they as handsome as he was? Were they better than he was? Did they love him as much as he did!

Brother Cai was deeply unhappy. He tried to sneak out; he didn’t want to become another Brother Soy and end up eating dog food.

However, he’d just made his way to the door and hadn’t yet had a chance to close it when he heard the captain’s low voice that could turn anyone to mush. “… They were all you.”

Regardless of whether it was his first love or the first person he liked, they were all Wei Xiao.

Bai Cai: “………………”

I was wrong, I was wrong, I just want to be a person, and I don’t want to have to eat this unique type of dog food!

Later on, Money sent over a small gift.

At first, Brother Cai thought it was something valuable and watched Wei Xiao eagerly looking forward to seeing him open it up. If Brother Xiao looked down on it, then he could take advantage and take it for himself.

Wei Xiao didn’t think too much of it and easily tore it open.

Bai Cai: “???”

Wei Xiao fell into a daze for ten full seconds.

There were three photos inside, and they seemed to have been taken from different angles

The 14 year old showed the beginnings of the iceberg great demon king, but his expression as he looked up inadvertently, as well as his handsome features, still had the green and raw youthful spirit that was absolutely no longer present now.

Close.

Close from high school!

Brother Cai sucked in a breath. “The captain was really handsome from childhood growing up.”

Wei Xiao tensed up suddenly and looked warily at Bai Cai.

Brother Cai: “…… What?”

Wei Xiao: “You’re not allowed to look!”

Bai Cai: “……”

Wei Xiao pressed the photos against his chest like they were treasures. “The captain’s top secret private photos, only I can see them!”

If Bai Cai wasn’t so timid, he would really want to spit at him!

They were proper and serious photos, but why did they inexplicably seem dirty when the words came out of Wei Xiao’s mouth!

Sure enough, Wei Xiao’s mouth was unable to spit out any normal language!

In view of these three photos, Wei Xiao wrote off his original ‘complaint’ against Money and even soloed with Money until late at night prior to their competition, playing with him until he was all fired up and in excellent condition.

Lu Feng didn’t know about the photos. “Not angry anymore?”

Wei Xiao hadn’t shown Lu Feng the photos. On one hand, he didn’t want him to have to recall the past. On the other hand, he himself was really distressed.

He felt heartache for the Lu Feng who had to excel in everything, and he felt even more heartache for the Lu Feng who still wasn’t acknowledged by his parents…

Wei Xiao couldn’t bear to touch such a scar.

Wei Xiao: “After thinking about it carefully, Captain Mo can’t be blamed for it. Who made you so excellent that he can only see you in such a good light?”

He had to blow out rainbow farts every three sentences. The entire training room was already numb to this phenomenon.

Lu Feng smiled as he sat down beside him, asking, “Go and watch the game tomorrow?”

Tomorrow was the semi-finals game between RR and TPT.

It just happened that Wei Xiao had something to discuss with him. “Captain, I plan to stay in the base and livestream.”

Lu Feng: “Hm?”

Wei Xiao blinked. “I’ll stream and provide live commentary for RR and TPT’s game.”

Lu Feng: “Did Xiang Liu order it?”

Wei Xiao: “No, I applied for it on my own initiative. It’s not for the sake of making up for stream time. It’s mostly for the fans.”

In any case, they had to plan for the long term.

If they wanted FTW to be ‘independent’, they had to be strong.

Fans were their foundation. Only by consolidating their foundation would they be qualified to hold up FTW.

Wei Xiao was very conscientious.

Lu Feng vaguely understood what he was doing. His heart heated up slightly, and he wanted to say something, but felt that anything he said would be superfluous.

“Then, I’ll stay with you.”

Wei Xiao didn’t understand, “Ah?”

Lu Feng said evenly, “I’ll provide commentary with you in the live broadcast tomorrow.”

Wei Xiao: “!”

Brother Cai, who was across from them, saw through the truth at a glance––

Provide commentary for the game?

It was totally livestreaming their show of love!

Forget it, forget it, when it came to things like dog food, eating it alone wasn’t as good as eating it with a crowd. It was really delicious when eaten together in front of others!

xiin: chapter 200! we’re 2/3 of the way through the novel… wow.
