Chapter 77
Yu Suis service as a play partner was excessively excellent; he even laid into the sprayers for him. Shi Luo no longer had the slightest bit of irritation in his heart. He sent Yu Sui a double-row invitation and waited for Yu Sui to accept it.
Yu Sui still hadnt responded in game. He first sent Shi Luo a WeChat message.
The two ate and lived together all day. If there was something the matter, the other would hear it as soon as they said something. They exchanged messages either to avoid the live broadcast or their teammates from hearing.
During this period of time, they were very busy with training and Yu Sui was afraid that Shi Luo would feel the sense of distance while he was in a relationship, and he would always take the time to send Shi Luo a WeChat to tease him.
Shi Luo thought that Yu Sui had sent another one of his sweet nothings that the two of them shared so he picked up the phone and took a look...
[Whisper]: [Dont you regret not making it public? ]
[Whisper]: [If wed gone public, no one would be spewing this BB. ]
[Whisper]: [What insults could they spray about me playing double row with my boyfriend? ]
The corners of Shi Luos lips instinctively wanted to tick up. Thinking that he had the webcam open, Shi Luo restrained himself, barely managing to maintain a cool expression. He sent back a reply.
[Evil]: [I was completely fine just now. I just didnt want to go along with the rhythm of the sprayers, so I deliberately looked for you to team up. ]
[Evil]: [They think Im always dragging you down...]
[Evil]: [Some of your fans dont like me, and some of my fans dont like you. Its normal. ]
[Evil]: [I dont care. ]
Shi Luo had just finished typing when his phone vibrated again.
[Whisper]: [I care. ]
Looking at the message Yu Sui had sent him, Shi Luo felt both touched and completely driven mad. Why was his webcam turned on? What the hell came over him that he agreed to turn on his webcam? Now, he didnt even dare smile!
The chat actually thought that he was looking at his phone because he was still playing games on it. Where did the mobile game come from? ! If I told you Whisper was teasing this young master, would you believe it?
No, you wouldnt. You wouldnt believe it! ! !
Shi Luo rubbed his face and before he could reply, Yu Sui sent a another message.
[Whisper]: [Also, why dont your fans like me? Is there something the matter with me? ]
[Whisper]: [Hasnt my reputation been washed clean long ago? ]
Shi Luo looked at his phone and finally couldnt help letting out a snort of laughter.
Shi Luo was typing a reply to Yu Sui but before he could send it, a message from Yu Sui popped up once again.
[Whisper]: [...Not sure if you will be angry, but I want to bring a wave of rhythm. ]
[Whisper]: [If you get really angry, you can find me to vent your anger at the end of evening training. Ive been holding back for several days now. I really cant hold back from making an issue. ]
Shi Luo didnt quite understand. He raised his head and looked at Yu Sui, not knowing what Yu Sui was going to create a wave about.
What did he mean by bringing a wave of rhythm?
But less than half a minute later, Shi Luo understood.
Yu Sui also started his own live broadcast.
The popularity of Shi Luos live broadcast instantly dropped by a third.
Yu Sui didnt turn on the webcam for his live broadcast, he only turned on the voice function. He adjusted the microphone and said, Lets go.
Shi Luo was confused as he clicked to queue up. He listened to Yu Sui on the other end of the voice chat saying in his usual unhurried tone, Lets have a little chat&#k2026;
There were a lot of people playing high-level games on the national server that the evening. Within half a minute of queueing up, they had already managed to enter the map. Shi Luo clicked &#k2018;confirm, his attention was still wholly on Yu Sui.
Shi Luo could see from the game client that Yu Sui had also immediately clicked confirm. The two teleported to the map together. By coincidence, they were well acquainted with their opponents for this game.
Angel Sword, Chen Huo, Xiao Jun and Illusion. The game had unexpectedly group together a bunch of pro-players.
He didnt care about the others but seeing Angel Sword, Shi Luo was instantly invigorated. He glanced at his teammates. Aside from Yu Sui, their sniper was also a professional player. Only the other striker was a passer-by.
They had one less pro-player than their opponent, but they could still win with this.
Shi Luo was standing in combat readiness, but Yu Sui, despite clearly seeing the other sides lineup, was still doing two things at once. His tone was relaxed. ...Lets chat a little bit about Shi Shens gossip.
Shi Luo gritted his teeth. If he werent doing a live broadcast, he would be howling in frustration by now. Our opponent is Angel Sword! Is this the time to be talking about his gossip?
Before Shi Luo could remind Yu Sui to concentrate, the countdown to the game was over. Shi Luo was playing very seriously and rushed out immediately.
In the game, Yu Sui reacted quickly, keeping up with Shi Luos pace to set him up with a shield. While doing all this, he was still talking to his chat, How many people here know that Shi Shen was an anchor before?
Shi Luo had already met with Chen Huo head on. The two of them have been on the same team for several months. Whats more, they had the same job. They were very familiar with each others play styles.
Shi Luo took the lead in predicting Chen Huos move and took out more than half of his blood. The other striker in their team couldnt keep up with the rhythm, but Shi Luo had no bullets he needed to change.
He quickly turned around to give up his position and Yu Sui behind him took away Chen Huos head with a swipe of his dagger.
Shi Luo gritted his teeth, I hit him first!
Its fine. Dont worry, Ill give you the next head. Yu Sui got the kill and immediately upgraded his equipment. He then placed a three-sided photon shield on Shi Luo. This set of actions didnt hinder him from talking about the past.
He didnt have any plans of going pro. And even as an anchor, he hadnt signed any contract. The young master was simply playing as an amateur. Why did I go look for him...
Their teams other striker was now also in place and Yu Sui also put a shield on this striker. The other side was now missing one striker. That set off a ripple of apprehension. Shi Luos ears were sharp and he noticed that Angel Sword was retreating.
He turned around quickly and left the cover of the bunker, beginning to set down a purification dish.
Accompanied by the faint chichi sound of the purification dish, was Yu Suis voice, I had a pretty good friend who told me that his cousin was skipping school... He asked me to persuade his cousin and see if he should continue to go back to school or if he could really go pro.
Chen Huo had resurrected. Shi Luo sensed from the sound of their footsteps that the three of them wanted to surround him, and so he quickly retreated. Just after reaching the bunker, he saw Yu Sui place a sign on the map. Shi Luo and the other striker hurried to that location.
It was Illusion, the opponents striker!
Angel Sword and Illusion wanted to play the four-on-three tactic once again, but there were two outsiders in their team. How could they so easily utilize it without prior practice? Especially Chen Huo. Teaming up with Angel Sword to play casually was fine, but they actually didnt coordinate much.
Yu Sui bullied the sniper who was slow to reload, relying on his elusive positioning to stab at Illusion until he only had a sliver of life left. He then surrendered the kill to Shi Luo.
With one shot, Shi Luo took down Illusion.
I wasnt planning on doing it seriously. I was just going to do it to show that Id done something and then be done with it.
But the first time I saw Shi Shen doing a live broadcast, I was just...
Bewitched.
Shi Luo was taken aback and suddenly looked at his own webcam.
He was still doing a live broadcast so he couldnt afford to forget himself. Shi Luo pursed his lips, reloaded a new cartridge and placed a sign on the map to signal the other striker to follow.
Yu Sui was still talking slowly into his mic
Back then, I was planning on pulling Shi Shen to come play professionally, but Shi Shen ignored me... I applied for a side account and pretended to be a game noob. When nothing happened, I started to harass him, asking him to take me with him to play.
How did I harass him? Have you seen those cheeky girls chasing after guys... I was kind of like that.
All the while I was pretending to be a game noob, an alternative punk kid. I pretended to be poor.
Why did I pretend? To attract his attention, so that he would pity me.
Their striker followed. Shi Luo and their other striker quickly released the purification dishes. Their own sniper was found out and his photon shield was broken. Yu Sui didnt want the opponent to get a kill off their team.
He dived to replace the snipers shield. He said slowly while playing, My conscience was also starting to haunt me.
One day......
I had just finished a game and we got a beautiful win. My boss at the time took us to eat out. We were eating in a high-class restaurant, the kind that costs thousands per head... when Shi Shen sent me a message.
He asked me if I was gonna play that night. Did I need him to help me level up.
He also asked me if I had any money for dinner. If I had eaten dinner already. If I was hungry.
Back then, I...
I felt like I should be shot dead by a firing squad.
I tried to imagine what it would be like if Shi Shen found out. It wouldnt be out of line if he killed me on the spot.
I was young at the time, and my face was not so thick... When I read the messages Shi Shen sent me, I couldnt eat at all.
Why couldnt I eat? Because I thought Id gotten myself into something serious...
Id been playing in the pro-circle for a long time, I was used to spewing lies. Back then, talking to Shi Shen, whenever I opened my mouth lies would come out. I never ever expected...that in a moment of carelessness, I had duped a good kid.
He believed all that BB I was feeding him.
While staring at Chen Huo and Xiao Jun closely, Shi Luo seized every opportunity to put down the purification dishes. When he heard Yu Suis words, Shi Luos hand trembled and he almost interrupted the purification dishs operation.
The first time he knew? Oh yeah... Its possible Shi Shen himself doesnt know.
Yu Sui set the shield for their sniper and made his way back to Shi Luo. He accidentally ran into Angel Sword on the way. Angel Sword was also alone. Yu Sui didnt hesitate to kill Angel Sword and he continued, The guiltier I felt, the more I couldnt let him go.
I always wanted him to play with me...Several times, I almost got into trouble.
I lied to him saying that I skipped class and went to the Internet cafe to play games. Sometimes I have to open my mic. I was afraid those assh*ts on my team would ruin things for me.
So when I had to open my mic and blabber nonsense...I would go to the conference room of our base at the time and secretly play there.
Our team manager at the time suspected I was secretly dating online.
F*ck.
Shi Luo and Chen Huo hid behind their respective bunkers, and Shi Luo couldnt help but smile when he heard this.
In those days, I was actually quite happy. It was really like I was secretly dating someone online behind everyones back.
No one had a clear picture of what was going on, only I knew.
Shi Luo took away Chen Huos head, and was startled when he heard his. He remembered that Yu Sui had admitted when he confessed that he had fallen in love with him at first sight.
Shi Luo couldnt help but ache.
Dating someone online behind everyones back. Everyone, including Shi Luo himself.
Chen Huo had been taken away and Shi Luo wasnt afraid of Xiao Jun. He directly took the other striker to press on. Xiao Jun retreated and Shi Luo continued to clear the fog.
Why did I hide it from the others... There were too many reasons.
At the time, I didnt want to interfere in his life. Actually, I didnt want him to go to my team at the time, so I didnt want people in my team to know him.
I was afraid theyd force Shi Shen to sign a contract.
Of course I am also afraid of being found out. Shi Shen could have a really bad temper. If he finds out and loses it ... He could disappear and then where would I find him?
Shi Luo and the other striker in the team drove straight in, and Yu Sui followed.
I lost face a lot of times in order to keep hiding.
There I was playing a regular season game and Shi Shen was asking me log into my account so that he could take me to level up. When I refused, he asked me for a reason and couldnt reply because my phone had been taken away by the referee.
If you look through the 2017 regular season games, you might be able to find that game. I forgot which team we played against. It was taken away by the referee when I was already on stage so they definitely caught it on camera.
I was training at the base when he suddenly sent me a voice call. It was like the room was on fire. I quickly ended the game and told my teammates I had to pick up a call. My teammates asked me who was calling that I was in such a hurry to answer.
What could I say...
I told Chen Huo, your grandfather, my father, theyre calling me because of an urgent matter.
Then I took my phone and went to my room.
Shi Luo couldnt hold back and laughed out loud.
He really didnt know these things.
Back then Yu Sui was heavily burdened with maintaining his image. Even when he was injured and hospitalized, he refused to let Shi Luo see him so much as grunt in pain. Of course, he would be even more unwilling to share the details of these embarrassing matters.
In the game, their three front row players had reunited once again. They had substantial early advantage. Yu Sui was too lazy to ink any more. After mending them to good condition, he gave a signal to the back row sniper and charged directly.
Yu Suis cooperation with Shi Luo was perfect. Hearing the sound of footsteps, they surrounded Chen Huo and took his head. Then Yu Sui dealt with Xiao Jun.
Their other striker hurriedly set up the purification dish, once again clearing out a large portion of the map and forcing their way to the opponents resurrection stone.
Whats wrong? Oh...
Its fine to call him father, whats the matter, I even called him ancestor.
Shi Luo grabbed Xiao Juns head, and then, without giving Chen Huo any breathing room, he forced a decisive battle in advance, suddenly rushing forward. Relying on his thick shield, he shot directly. His shield just shattered.
Yu Sui took down Angel Sword once again and at the same time, supplied Shi Luo with a new photon shield.
I had done too many embarrassing things at the time. Shi Shen actually didnt know about it and I didnt want to say it.
Yu Sui and Shi Luos side still had a complete team. None of them retreated and they pushed straight forward. The opponents early disadvantage was too great and at this moment, they could no longer hold out.
Attacking and retreating, Shi Luo and his team pressed straight towards the opponents resurrection stone.
Dont worry about Angel Sword, fight Chen Huo and Xiao Jun. Yu Sui spoke a little faster, Well fight directly. No more healing.
Shi Luo did a he said, making a desperate charge forward. Chen Huo took down their other striker. Shi Luo ignored it. Using Yu Suis body as a shield, he put down the last purification dish.
The second the purification dish took effect, he blasted the opponents resurrection stone.
Game over.
So, now do you understand how much effort put in and how much embarrassment I endured in order to double row with Shi Shen back then?
Yu Sui sent a mocking emoji to Chen Huo in-game and then exited the map. He continued to say lightly, I dont know why some people think that Shi Shens the one whos pestering me. Now Ive told you all about the situation when we met back then.
Shi Shen, Luo back then, was someone I spent so much effort to dig out and have join my team.
I was already willing to do this for him when we had just first met.
Not to mention now, right?
Im happy to team up with him. Im happy to wait for him after our matches. Im happy to coax him when I see that he has a dark expression on his face.
Its not only now that Im like this.
Shi Luo felt choked. He took a deep breath but still couldnt quite stay in control. So he had to raise his hand to cover the webcam.
In the game client, Shi Luo could see that Yu Sui had clicked to queue up once again. Through his headset, Shi Luo hears Yu Sui calmly telling the sprayers in the live broadcast. So I dont need you to speak for me and insult him. Because all your claims are simply groundless.
Ive been wanting to say this since the game ended that day.
V/\\IssT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n)./ for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
Even though were no longer medic twin stars and no one remembers that we used to be called this title, our relationship hasnt changed. Were very close...we have been since two years ago.
And Ive always been like this when it comes to him.
