Glory [e-sports]
chapter-78-1

It was just helping Wei Xiao stretch, but Lu Feng still ended up covered in sweat.

After they were done, Wei Xiao’s body felt a lot more comfortable. He thought about how he’d howled and wailed, and was very ashamed, “Even though I was crying, I’m not usually so delicate.”

Really. As he was growing up, he didn’t even complain when he was with his grandmother and didn’t have enough to eat, yet with the captain…

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment.

Wei Xiao tossed the blame at the captain, “It’s because you’re too good to me!”

He was considerate and powerful; Wei Xiao suspected that nothing could defeat his captain.

Lu Feng looked at the 19 year old boy in front of him, and much of the desire in his heart dissipated.

Although he was only two years younger than him, Wei Xiao was really still a child.

A half grown youth who’d had an extreme shortage of care, one who was eager to be cared for.

How strong he’d been when he was a child was related to how childish he would be when he found support.

Wei Xiao was depending on him.

This understanding made the corners of Lu Feng’s lips hook up.

Great. He was only 19 now, so everything could proceed slowly.

Lu Feng got up, “I’ll go ask about lunch.”

It had been over 10 minutes and should have been delivered by now.

Wei Xiao moved his hands and feet, “I asked Old Bai to send up food.” Was that guy planning to come up only after he’d eaten his fill.

Lu Feng explained for Bai Cai, “I ran into him when I came in just now and told him not to send anything.”

Wei Xiao understood. He then asked, “Captain, have you eaten?”

Lu Feng: “Not yet.”

Wei Xiao’s eyes brightened, “Together?”

Lu Feng: “Mm.”

Wei Xiao’s happiness overflowed in his words, “That’s great!”

Lu Feng looked at his smile and wanted to ask him why he was so happy.

Wei Xiao had already continued in delight, “You can eat the celery, while I eat the meat, we’re really a team made in heaven!”

Lu Feng: “………………”

The great demon king was put in an awkward position. Wei Xiaoxiao plus celery, this was really too difficult.

Today’s points competition still had nothing to do with FTW. They were reduced to being the emperor of the bench after having played four games and could only watch the people on the stage play happily.

Wei Xiao’s eyes were heated up from watching, and he tried to collude with others left and right, “Old G, how about a training match!”

Old G was happy, “Okay!”

VIVI laughed, “Your words don’t count.”

Old G came back to his senses and looked regretfully at Wei Xiao, “Oh, my words don’t count.”

Wei Xiao egged him on, “Go to your captain and act coquettish. His words count!”

Yuan Ze wasn’t at the scene. He’d probably gone out to smoke.

Old G’s face was bewildered, “Coquettish?”

Wei Xiao: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, when your captain comes, climb up and roll all over the place. Don’t get up until he lets you make an appointment for a training match.”

The FTW crowd: Brother Xiao, your English is really good. You can even explain something like this clearly!

The L&P crowd: Quiet’s English is no good, what is he talking about? How can Old G roll around and around on the floor like a brat?

Gary obviously underestimated Wei Xiao’s English level. He thought that he’d spoken wrongly, so he asked him again.

Wei Xiao thought it over, “If your captain doesn’t go for that kind of thing, you can become a crying beauty who yingyingying cries until he nods.”

Alright, this guy’s English was very good. It was more fluent than Old G’s Chinese! He was very clear about what he was saying!

Old G refused him seriously, “How could I do that!”

If he dared to do so, he’d be hammered into a pig’s head by the captain at any minute.

Wei Xiao tempted him, “How would you know if you don’t try? Your captain really cares about you.”

Gary wondered out loud, “How come I don’t know that my captain cares about me?”

Wei Xiao was surprised, “Your captain doesn’t?”

Old G: “……”

Wei Xiao: “If he doesn’t care about you, then to hell with your top-jungler linkage. Hurry and…”

Yuan Ze: “Heh.”

Wei Xiao: “!”

Halfway through arranging the rebellion, the proper master came back.

However, Wei Xiao was shameless and wouldn’t be embarrassed by this at all. He lifted his face and smiled at Yuan Ze, “Captain Yuan, you’re back.”

Yuan Ze looked at his clean and clear eyes that held no trace of haze, and his hands itched: How did Close deal with this little beast who had an angel’s face and an evil demon’s heart!

Lu Feng pressed his own cub back down, “Watch the game.”

Wei Xiao was well-behaved and obedient, “’Kay.”

Yuan Ze, who’d been left hanging, “……”

What made it more tragic was that his own pig teammate was still asking him, “Captain, are you taking it seriously…”

Yuan Ze’s goosebumps popped right out, and he conked the big fool on the head, “If you motherf*cking had one third of that brat’s cleverness, we’d have three consecutive championships by now!”

He spoke in Chinese, and Old G was very wronged as he half-understood, “My mother is very clever…”

Old Dog Yuan: “……”

Who dared to think that as someone who was famous in Glory’s international circles, who had a language buff and was proficient in eight languages, this Old Dog Yuan who had countless foreign friends, would end up having the tables turned on him so thoroughly, frequently, and painfully!

It was unknown if Old G’s ‘acting coquettish’ actually worked, or if it was Wei Xiao’s provocation that was effective.

That night, L&P took the initiative to invite FTW to a training match. Not for points, but they opened a room for 5v5 in private.

Wei Xiao was happy, “Not bad, Old G.”

Brother Cai: “Heh heh…”

Everyone knew that Brother G was innocent in this. You were the real culprit!

The training match was relatively relaxed. Although L&P’s Yuan Ze came up to fight, their mid-lane VIVi didn’t play. A substitute was switched in instead, and it seemed that they were training their people.

FTW didn’t look down on it. Each fight they had was beneficial to them, and they wouldn’t be concerned over such things.

The two sides played BO3 (whoever reaches two wins first, three games max). FTW only won the first small game.

Sure enough, they were still a strong team even after switching in a substitute.

However, a strong team’s substitutes were also very good top-level players.

L&P training room.

Gary spoke, “Although I can’t beat Little Lunatic Q when it comes to speaking, I can beat him in a fight!”

Yuan Ze had a cigarette in his mouth. He sneered, “It won’t be long before you can’t beat him.”

Gary didn’t believe it, “He’s growing fast, but we’re not bad either!”

Yuan Ze blew out a smoke ring and laughed, “Additional training when we go back.”

Gary wasn’t afraid at all, “Okay!”

Only when there was a sense of crisis would there be any progress. How could anyone riding on the front wave be willing to accept getting slapped to death by the wave behind them?

Yuan Ze was really looking forward to this year’s global competition.

Originally, everyone thought that Wei Xiao would be done with jogging after trying it out. Who could’ve known that he would wake up again the next day?

This time, he didn’t set an alarm clock or have Lu Feng wake him up. He climbed out of bed when he heard the sounds of movement.

Lu Feng looked at his dazed and confused appearance and thought that he was going to sleepwalk again.

Wei Xiao tilted his head and looked at him with a tearful expression, “Captain~”

His cry made Lu Feng want to take a cold shower early in the morning, “Go back to sleep if you’re tired.”

Wei Xiao clutched at his head, rubbed his face, and spoke energetically, “Run!”

Lu Feng: “…….”

Sometimes, he really had no choice but to admire Wei Xiaoxiao. Once he decided on something, he would grit his teeth and persevere.

He said he wanted them to run together, and he really tried hard to get up early and run.

On the third day of morning runs, Wei Xiao was still more dead than alive after the run.

The good thing was that Lu Feng was already immunized and didn’t need to take cold showers every day anymore.

Wei Xiao’s physique was really average.

Lu Feng remembered that he was still alright two years ago––he had the energy to solo for 48 hours, so his physical strength couldn’t be that terrible.

Wei Xiao was awkward and embarrassed, “These two years passed in a confused daze.”

He spoke vaguely, but Lu Feng understood.

Two years ago, Wei Xiao’s grandma had still been alive. Wei Xiao had been doing things from childhood, and even if he didn’t purposely do physical exercise, he was doing housework every day to help out the household.

Unfortunately, he’d been indulging himself over the past two years.

His grandma passed away, his dreams were shattered, and all the happiness he felt was superficial.

Bai Cai took him to do accompanying training, and he made money, but he didn’t have anywhere to spend it.

Additionally, every training game, and every solo game, was torture in disguise for Wei Xiao.

He watched others work hard for the game, watched others burn brightly on the field…

Wei Xiao could only feel envy in his heart.

During these two murky years, Wei Xiao was focused on either playing games or learning. Exercising was definitely not on the list.

Going around in circles walking Soybean was already the limit.

When he heard this, Lu Feng really wanted to take Wei Xiao to exercise with him.

19 was still young, and he could afford to indulge.

However, the body was really important, especially for professional players…

Lu Feng’s shoulder pricked slightly, and his heart plummeted.

“Breathe with me.” Lu Feng taught Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao was confused, “Ah?”

Lu Feng slowed down and fell into step beside him, “Inhale, two steps, exhale, two steps…” There was technique to running. Before, he’d just felt that Wei Xiao was messing around temporarily and would stop running after a few days. Who could’ve expected that he would follow him to run for so many days.

Since he wanted to run, he should run in a scientific manner, so as to achieve the best effect.

Wei Xiao followed his breathing and soon learned the rhythm, “It doesn’t seem as hard to breathe like this.”

Lu Feng: “Take your time.”

Wei Xiao said sincerely, “Captain, you’re really too amazing.”

How could there be a man as amazing as Close? He even regretted that he wasn’t a woman!

F*ck!

Wei Xiaoxiao was frightened by his own silly thoughts!

“Quiet?” Kim Sung-hyun’s Korean-accented English came from beside them.

Wei Xiao came back to his senses and noticed God Kim, who was a small distance away from them on the lawn.

Kim Sung-hyun was also out for a morning run. He wore a white short-sleeved shirt, black shorts, and his sport shoes were expensive, limited edition Air Jordans, the type that was more suited to be put out on display.

Wei Xiao greeted him.

Kim Sung-hyun took a few steps forward to catch up, “You got dragged out for a run by your captain?”

Wei Xiao spoke righteously, “It’s me that’s relying on my captain and insisted on having him take me out for a run!”

Kim Sung-hyun choked for half a second, “… You’re really capable.”

Wei Xiao started nagging at him, “How is Captain Li?”

Once this matter was brought up, Kim Sung-hyun sighed, “Much better.”

Wei Xiao: “Can he play in the last day’s prize pool competition?”

Kim Sung-hyun sneered, “Don’t worry, it’s not a problem to hammer you until you explode.”

Wei Xiao was excited, “Okay! I’m waiting for you guys!”

Kim Sung-hyun: “……”

He always felt that trash talking with this brat was meaningless. His aura and momentum all bounced back on him!

The hotel garden was quite big, but only the three of them had come out for a run.

Kim Sung-hyun was bored running alone, so he came over and joined them.

Wei Xiao chatted with him on and off.

Lu Feng reminded him, “Breathing.”

Wei Xiao quickly steadied his breathing, but after a few breaths, he couldn’t help showing off, “My captain taught me this. It’s so useful!”

Kim Sung-hyun: “…..” Who didn’t know how to do this? Why the hell were you showing off.

Kim Sung-hyun looked at Lu Feng, and his heart felt sour for a moment.

They’d been the same height three years ago, but now he was half a head taller.

Not to mention the figure underneath his clothes; tsk tsk, Little Close, are you planning to make a debut as a model after retiring?

Old Kim felt very sour, “Your captain is really capable. He won’t have any occupational diseases even if he plays for another ten years.”

These were words that Wei Xiao loved to hear, “I think so too. There are so many people who can play professionally, but when it comes to how long they can last, nobody can beat my captain.”

Kim Sung-hyun was envious, “If Old Li had started exercising earlier, he wouldn’t be as miserable now.”

Wei Xiao was very concerned, “It should still be okay to start exercising now.”

Kim Sung-hyun: “Yes, working up a sweat every day can relieve the symptoms.”

Wei Xiao was worried when he heard this, “Is the physiotherapy effective?”

Kim Sung-hyun: “The problem was discovered early and treated early. As long as he doesn’t tire himself too much, it’s not a big problem.”

Wei Xiao was relieved, “That’s good.”

Kim Sung-hyun was full of self-confidence, “Don’t worry, this year, the championship cup will belong to Pro.”

Wei Xiao didn’t accept these words, “What are you thinking, the world championship cup is surnamed ‘F’ this year.”

What a coincidence, in the entire league, only FTW started with the letter F.

Kim Sung-hyun wanted to say that it was surnamed ‘P’, but then he remembered that there were three seeded teams in the league that started with the letter P…

F*ck, he’d lost!

Lu Feng and Wei Xiao had gone out for their run 20 minutes earlier, but they ended up going back together with Kim Sung-hyun.

Wei Xiao even had the nerve to disdain others, “God Kim, you really can’t do it.”

Kim Sung-hyun was so tired he didn’t want to talk, “Shut up!”

Wei Xiao spoke complacently, “My captain has already reduced his speed. You don’t know this, but a few days ago, he left me half dead.”

Kim Sung-hyun: “……”

Lu Feng: “…….”

Proud Flower Kim knew about Lu Feng’s sexual orientation. For a while, he didn’t know if he should feel pity or compassion and sympathy, “Keep it up.”

He was encouraging his former teammate.

Wei Xiao replied for his captain, “God Kim, you’re the one who needs to keep it up. In all aspects.”

Kim Sung-hyun: “…………”

FTW was poisonous. Back then, there was Old Dog Yuan, and now there was Little Lunatic Wei.

Was their fengshui really okay?!
