Through the door, He Ci’s voice came through the phone.
Yu Xinche felt a lump in his nose and lowered his head, blinking rapidly a few times.
There was still an orange slice in his mouth. He chewed it twice and swallowed it. The slightly cool sweetness filled his mouth, mixed with a little sourness.
After a long while, he held the phone tightly, looked toward the door and whispered, “Happy holidays to you too.”
After he finished speaking, he realized that his voice was a little hoarse, and he quickly cleared his throat to cover it up.
He Ci didn’t know if he was pretending not to hear or if he really didn’t notice, he replied naturally: “I will.”
【Who hit me? The baby’s expression is so real】
【It didn’t feel like family, it was an unexpected call】
【First surprised, then happy, then moved】
【Should be his friends】
【Woo woo, thank you for this kind call】
【I went to Baby’s o weibo account to send him my blessings!】
【Me too!】
He Ci came back soon. He read all the latest comments and said, “The live stops here. My phone is running out of battery.”
【Woo woo woo】
【Can you live stream again tomorrow?]
【You still have six hours to go!】
“Tomorrow? We’ll see then.”
【It’s over】
【When the time comes, he will realize that he don’t want to live】
【Okay, see you next month [Poor][Poor]】
【Then can you let Xiao Yu go live?】
【! I’m writing this request in blood】
【+2】
【+10086!】
He Ci showed his phone to Yu Xinche: “Live stream tomorrow?”
“Ah?” Yu Xinche leaned closer to his phone to read the comments.
【Wow, so close!】
【Really good skin】
【Live stream? Live stream?】
【Can you go live tomorrow, baby?】
“Let’s see how the situation tomorrow?” Yu Xinche discussed with the commentator.
【? It depends on the situation】
【Don’t learn bad things from He Ci】
【One or two hours need to depend on the situation】
Yu Xinche was not opposed to live streaming. He was hesitant because he had to review the game tomorrow and was not sure if he would have enough time to do it in the evening.
“Well…how about live streaming for a bit? But I can’t guarantee the length.”
【OK OK】
【Can!】
【Hahahaha, he’s so easily convinced】
【This is the first time I have seen a chat succeed getting a live stream. Xiao Yu is good, He Ci is bad!】
【Baby is good, He Ci is bad!】
【Baby is good, He Ci is bad!】
The entire barrage began to repeat this sentence. Yu Xinche saw it and laughed. He Ci snorted coldly: “End the live.”
Without giving anyone time to react, he exited directly and the live stream turned black.
The audience expressed their anger by posting question marks in the closed live stream, and then went to the forum to talk about tonight’s live.
There were many people who support their CP. Not only are their daily interactions during the livestream fun to watch, but their tacit understanding during the game was even better in the eyes of fans.
The video of Yu Xinche using his ultimate skill Mirage to hit nine people in the game not only appears in technical posts, but was also active in every CP post of “saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new”.
【I can watch this synchronous reverse flash a hundred times】
【They are so in sync, woooooo】
【At that moment, it was as if their hearts had become one】
【Also, the two of them chose the best location to flash. If one of them flashed in the wrong direction, this would have been a mediocre team fight.】
【I showed it to my boyfriend, and he said this operation is actually quite difficult】
【Yes, the range of BREEZE’s Mirage’s ultimate skill is quite difficult to time. Every time I play, I just use as many ultimate skills as I can get.】
【Laughing to death, me too】
【It’s actually the same for a professional support playing Mirage… your baby is just a genius】
【18-year-old genius support, won MVP in the first game, teammates became my fans in the second game, Tide hit 5 players in the third game, Mirage hit 9 players in the fourth game】
【This growth rate is ridiculously fast】
【Even novels dare not write like this】
T/n: breaking the fourth wall lol.
【How to play next game】
【The next game will be disadvantage at the beginning, stealing the dragon and turning the game around [dog head]】
【?! No disadvantage!】
【Speaking of the post during the live stream where he said his clothes looked familiar, does anyone have any pointers?】
Many people are still thinking about the encounter post that someone mentioned during the live stream. After searching, everyone finally found the original post.
He was a college student blogger who usually posts vlogs about his daily life at school.
In the latest video, the blogger took a video of the school playground when he returned to school from outside. His original intention was to show the old men and women dancing square dance, but the sharp-eyed fans in the e-sports circle discovered that the two people passing by on the track looked like TZ’s bottom lane group.
Someone posted a screenshot of the video to the HIT forum, and careful netizens discovered that the two people were wearing couple outfits of the same color.
However, He Ci rarely wears white T-shirts and jeans, which is a youthful campus style. At that time, everyone remembered He Ci as having a gradient blue hair color. In this screenshot, both of them have dark hair color, so fans concluded that this was not the bottom lane group.
Yu Xinche wore the same private clothes tonight, and He Ci had indeed dyed his hair back to black. Now looking back at the blogger’s video, it was hard to deny anything.
【Okay, this three or four centimeter height difference, and the back view, does look a bit like the bottom lane group】
【Looking closely at the shoes, both pairs look familiar, they are what they wear often】
【They were together on their day off, are they secretly dating?】
【Hehe, I don’t care, it must be】
【I remembered something. Was the restaurant where He Ci and the guy who was suspected to be PURE also near this school?】
【!!!】
【Damn, you found a blind spot!】
【Yes! Wasn’t that post deleted very quickly? Someone in the comment section pointed out that it was a junior student from Jiangda University.】
【Oh shit, this coincides! This time it’s also at Jiangda University!】
【??? What does that mean, PURE is Yu Xinche?】
【ah??????】
【Then why did He Ci invite him to TZ before but he have to go through the official training camp later?】
【Yeah, that’s not very reasonable. If TZ had just signed him, wouldn’t it have saved the three million auction fee?】
【I have a bold idea】
【Is there a possibility that the person in the previous hotel photo was Yu Xinche, not PURE】
【Young Master and PURE have never had any offline contact】
【??】
【It seems to make sense】
【Wait, the above doesn’t make sense. Still the same question, if He Ci had dinner with Yu Xinche in the restaurant, then why didn’t he just invite Yu Xinche to TZ, but went through the training camp?】
【And I don’t think He Ci is the type to play both sides. Since he asked PURE, why would he still contact Yu Xinche? These two people are obviously more to his liking.】
【PURE, doesn’t it mean pure and clear? Isn’t this clear enough?!】
【I replayed the He Ci’s live stream of with PURE’s duo row. PURE’s voice is really similar to Yu Xinche’s!】
【!!! Holy shit】
【Also, PURE’s account has now fallen out of the top 200 in the national server. It seems that no one has collided with PURE since the training camp.】
【Yes, I often watched him at that time, but I haven’t seen him online since the training camp】
【Solid evidence!】
Things became more and more confusing, and netizens gradually split into two camps. The [two-person camp] thought that PURE and Yu Xinche were two different people, and that white moonlight PURE rejected He Ci after coming into contact with him, and that Yu Xinche was just a substitute for PURE.
Another group of people who believe that PURE and Yu Xinche are the same person.
It must be that the contract was not negotiated when Pure and TZ contacted each other privately for the first time, so PURE, that is, Yu Xinche, went to participate in the training camp.
After he performed brilliantly during the training period, TZ regretted his decision and quickly bought the player back.
The latter listed more and more reasonable grounds. The only thing that could not be explained was why the first negotiation with TZ broke down.
It was known that He Ci had positive feelings for Yu Xinche, and it was also known that TZ is wealthy and well-treated, and would not mistreat players financially. So the only possibility left was that Yu Xinche does not want to play professionally.
However, if Yu Xinche himself was unwilling, then why did he go to the training camp later?
【Looking back at the auction of He Ci now, it feels like we have known each other for a long time】
【Yes, I thought it was a bit frivolous for him to say “I’m good-looking, please consider me” to someone he just met for the first time, but now it makes sense】
【It’s even better now, isn’t it?】
【But we still don’t understand why the talks broke down, which is also the key reason why this conjecture cannot be confirmed】
Not only were the fans confused, but major clubs also contacted TZ’s people after hearing the news, wanting to find out what was going on.
Before the review meeting started the next day, Xu Le briefly mentioned this matter.
“Some people have asked me whether Xiao Yu is PURE or not. Some people asked me directly why I didn’t sign him in the first place.”
“Bian Qi also told me this this morning.” He Ci said in a deep voice, “Someone asked him if he found any obvious shortcomings of 51 when he was leading the team in training.”
Yu Xinche looked at Xu Le, then at He Ci, and asked carefully: “But it doesn’t matter if they know now, right? I think my hero pool… should be enough for them to ban.”
As soon as these words came out, several people looked over. Yu Xinche put his hands on the table and sat very politely, and it was impossible to tell the kind of arrogant words he had just said.
Xiao Ou suddenly realized: “Yeah, if you know, then you know. Now Xiao Che’s hero pool is slowly expanding, so he is not afraid of being targeted.”
The others didn’t say anything. Xiao Ou was stunned and asked vaguely, “Isn’t it?”
“The hero pool is indeed sufficient, but there are also playing habits that can be studied.” The coach said, “The reason why veteran players are easily targeted is because they have played enough games and have produced a lot of material for research.”
“Xiao Yu now only has three games for them to study, but with the PURE’s account data, that’s a lot. And although Xiao Yu can now use all the support heroes, he is still better at the ones he knew before.”
“Rainbow, Branch, Eclipse, we can use them all in matches. I would rather Xiao Yu get the hero and having the opponent put them on the ban list after, rather than having him studied in advance and get the hero banned without playing once.”
The coach’s words made sense, Yu Xinche nodded.
He Ci: “But there’s no need to worry too much, just let it go, there’s nothing to be afraid of once you really know.”
That also made sense, Yu Xinche nodded again.
“Well, let’s start reviewing the game. First of all, I want to praise Xiao Yu. In yesterday’s game, Xiao Yu was much more proactive in communication. In the past, he just followed instructions, but yesterday he started to put forward his own ideas. Very good, keep it up.”
CONTROL: “Indeed.”
“Yeah, you did talk more yesterday.” Xiao Ou patted Yu Xinche’s shoulder, “Talk more! I love listening to you.”
“Okay.” Yu Xinche smiled.
In fact, according to his plan, now was not a good time for him to actively communicate his ideas with his teammates.
All four teammates were very friendly, but only He Ci truly trusted him. At times like this, if he puts forward his own ideas, he might be questioned by his teammates, just like during training matches, everyone hopes that he would choose a safe support rather than a Carry support.
He initially wanted to improve his skills through training. On the one hand, he would convince his teammates with his skills. On the other hand, he would spend more time with his teammates and they would become more familiar with each other.
By then, when he slowly puts forward some of his own insights into the game, they would more easily be accepted than now.
Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes, and He Ci did not allow him to stay up late to practice.
So in order to continue to improve, he had to change his mindset and improve his understanding of the game first.
During yesterday’s game, he tried to communicate some tactical ideas with his teammates. When the situation was not urgent, He Ci would tell him what was feasible and what was not.
After the game, the coach held a small meeting with him last night to discuss what he had raised and taught him some things.
Today’s review would focus on the overall coordination of the five players and their respective details. They had lost a game, which was the first loss of the season, so the review took a long time.
At the end, everyone was a little hungry, but He Ci asked everyone to remain in the room for a while longer.
“I discussed something with the coach, let’s talk about it together.” He Ci looked at Yu Xinche, “It’s mainly aimed at God Che.”
Yu Xinche: “?”
“God Che is pretty good at supporting heroes now, but he doesn’t know enough about other positions. This was evident in yesterday’s game. Everyone lasted at least three rounds, but God Che collapsed in one.”
Yu Xinche argued, “You stole my minions. Otherwise, it would be two rounds.”
He Ci: “Well, everyone survived up to three rounds, but God Che only lasted two rounds.”
The teammates were laughing quietly, and Yu Xinche stopped talking.
“Also, we can sometimes see during the competition that you are not very clear about some of the combos of other heroes. So we discussed that you should take some time every day to solo with us and practice the heroes.”
Xiao Ou asked: “If I use a jungler solo, he will use an AD hero?”
He Ci: “Yes.”
“Then I will be beaten by you guys?” Yu Xinche protested firmly, “I object!”
“Opposition is useless.” He Ci smiled, “Practice AD with me tonight.”
“…Oh.” Yu Xinche was not incapable of distinguishing between good and bad. He was only symbolically angry for a minute and then calmed down.
In the evening, he and He Ci created a solo room and started the Goldfish live stream as they had promised yesterday.
Taking into account the pace of the PURE’s incident, Xu Le informed the room manager in advance tonight that they could control it more strictly, and the live stream room also set a rule that new fans could only make three comments, so the atmosphere of the barrage was relatively friendly after the broadcast started.
“Good evening~ Let’s play with FIX for a while today and solo with him.”
【Play a while】
【I thought in a dirty way, sorry】
【Me too, hahaha】
The hero was chosen by He Ci, and he picked the Lunar Eclipse.
Because Lunar Eclipse would become very powerful in the next version, and the mechanism of this hero was very complicated, Yu Xinche definitely doesn’t understand it well enough.
【? You want to flaunt your skills in front of your baby, right?】
【What a straight man, can’t you just let your wife play as a support?】
【I accept this spicy scene】
HIT had several 1v1 modes. He Ci chose the custom mode with the same map as the usual game. The economy and level of both sides could be modified at any time, which makes teaching more convenient.
The two of them fought each other a few times. He Ci was actually going easy on him, but his opponent was really a noob, so he still killed Yu Xinche three times in a row.
【…】
【If my boyfriend does this, I will kill him】
【He Ci, do you think you are handsome?】
【It’s so funny, he’s pretty handsome, but not handsome in the right way】
Yu Xinche in front of the screen was a little wilted after being killed by He Ci.
He knew that He Ci was powerful, and he expected to be abused, but he didn’t expect to be abused so badly.
He was positioned opposite of He Ci, and there was a risk that if he attacked the minion soldiers, he would be hit by He Ci. If he stayed away from He Ci, he would not be able to attack the soldiers, and thus he was unable to upgrade his level.
No matter which choice you make, you will lose.
After dying again, Yu Xinche turned his head and glanced at He Ci.
He had always partnered with He Ci, and he never thought that being He Ci’s opponent would be so stressful.
He was just standing not far away from the soldier, but he exuded an invisible oppression, as if he could flash up and launch an attack at any time.
On the other side, He Ci also noticed Yu Xinche’s glance from the corner of his eye.
He finally realized that he had gone a little too far in killing people, and Yu Xinche was so angry that he couldn’t help but glare at him.
But the solo had to continue. He Ci thought about it, walked to his own buff, and called Yu Xinche to come over.
Yu Xinche followed.
“Did you know that skill 1 can refresh basic attack?”
“I don’t know.”
“Then watch me do it first.” He Ci demonstrated it to him several times, “But when you cast 1, there will still be a hand-raising action. If you interrupt it, there is a chance that the spell will be canceled.”
“ah??”
“Well, the chance is very small. It depends a bit on luck. Few people can do it in the competition.” He Ci said as he continued to buff.
When almost reaching the end of the hp bar, He Ci’s basic attack paused slightly. At this moment, Yu Xinche seized the opportunity and used a small skill to grab the buff.
“Hehe.” He winked happily in the game, “I stole that easily.”
He Ci didn’t look angry at all, not even surprised. He turned his head and looked at Yu Xinche calmly, with a smile in his eyes: “I called you over to give it to you in the first place.”
Yu Xinche turned around in surprise and looked at him.
He didn’t quite believe it.
“I gave you a blue buff. Don’t be angry. Let’s continue.”
t/n: bribing your baby with a blue buff hahaha.
