Chapter 134: Im not only Quiet, Im also your boyfriend. (2/2)
His emotions would fall apart.
Lu Feng’s voice was very calm, “Don’t worry…”
He hadn’t yet finished speaking when Wei Xiao first interjected, “Why did you hide it from me.”
All of Lu Feng’s words were gone, dispersing completely with his breath.
Wei Xiao lowered his gaze and stared pointlessly at the dark lines on the marble steps, “It’s my fault.”
Lu Feng’s heart clenched, “Little Xiao.”
Wei Xiao spoke from his heart, “It’s that I’m too weak and can’t bear anything, so I can’t get your trust.”
Lu Feng: “……”
Wei Xiao’s eyelashes trembled slightly, big drops of tears remaining hidden in his eyes, never dropping down, “I’m sorry.”
Lu Feng’s heart felt like it was being ground to pieces with a blunt knife. It hurt all the way to his Adam’s apple. “That’s not it…”
Wei Xiao’s voice was very calm, and he’d thought about the words he was saying, “Captain, don’t think too much about it. Focus on your recovery. At worst, it’s just that you can only participate in 5v5.”
He was still unable to finish everything in one breath, so he had to breathe again lightly and continue, “The singles and the doubles… you can give them to me. I won’t let you down.”
Lu Feng couldn’t say a single word.
At first, when the problem with his shoulder had been exposed, Lu Feng’s thoughts had been the same as what Wei Xiao said now.
He’d hand the singles competition to Wei Xiao, and if he still didn’t have enough energy, he’d also give up on the doubles game. What FTW needed more than either of those was the team championship.
But Wei Xiao had told him––don’t you want to win them, too? Don’t you want to have a real singles championship? Don’t you want to play the doubles with me? Are you willing to watch me play doubles with others?!
Lu Feng was unwilling. So he’d chosen to let the public know, and chosen to cut off all means of retreat and come to receive treatment.
But reality wasn’t like a fairy tale.
Cruelty wouldn’t go away just because he was unwilling.
One check up report after another woke him up.
He couldn’t play the singles, couldn’t play the doubles, and may not even be able to hold on until the end for the 5v5.
If he retired, the team would be one position short. Choosing a substitute ahead of time and training them up early was the most rational decision.
He wasn’t just a player, but also the person in charge of FTW. He was responsible for them––for the people who’d followed him and trusted him until now.
Even without ‘Close’, he was still Lu Feng.
Wei Xiao said earnestly, “There’s still a month’s time. It’ll be fine no matter what the results are.”
He no longer gave Lu Feng any pressure, and no longer forced him to make any decisions.
Close had already been holding on for too long. He wanted to be the shoulder he could lean on.
Wei Xiao’s tears ultimately did fall. He wiped them away, his voice remaining unchanged, “Captain, try to believe in me, okay? I’m not only Quiet, I…” He paused, trying to speak in a slightly brighter voice, “I’m also your boyfriend.”
––I’m not just a player in FTW. I’m also your lover.
––I not only want to chase after you, but also want to stand side by side with you and hold up the new FTW for you.
Lu Feng froze. He looked at the countless lights outside, words crowding together in his brain until only two of them were left. “Little Xiao.”
Wei Xiao: “Yeah.”
Lu Feng: “……” I’m sorry.
“Well then,” Wei Xiao energized himself, “I’m going to go have something to eat. We’ll be going to the arena later. You should go to bed early.”
Bai Cai was the first to discover that Wei Xiao wasn’t in the right state that day!
At lunch, he went downstairs and was startled to see a Wei Xiao who was eating seriously.
“Holy shit, you haven’t slept all night?”
Wei Xiao set down his bowl and chopsticks, “I’m finished eating.”
Bai Cai: “???”
When they went to the venue in the team van, Bai Cai sat beside Wei Xiao and felt the piercing cold air conditioning that was being let out even without words.
What happened to spring? How come the weather had suddenly cooled down again?!
He summoned up the courage to speak with Wei Xiao, “You’ve already slapped HU’s faces until they’re swollen. Today…”
Even before he finished, he found that he couldn’t go on. Damn it, where’d this refrigerator come from? His words were turning to ice as they left his mouth!
Chen Feng noticed it too. He glanced at Wei Xiao several times.
However, they were about to arrive at the sports arena, and talking too much would shake the morale of the team. He held back and didn’t ask anything in the car.
When they arrived backstage, the make-up artists didn’t linger, either. They quickly finished their tasks and bailed.
Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle also noticed that something was strange and looked over one after another.
Chen Feng couldn’t bear it anymore and wanted to call Wei Xiao out to talk to him alone.
Wei Xiao finally spoke, “Coach, I’ll take the shadow thief later.”
Chen Feng was stunned.
Ning Zhehan’s heart thumped. “Brother Xiao, don’t be influenced by them.”
It was over. Could it be that those dogs had also successfully messed with Brother Xiao’s mentality?
It didn’t seem like there was anything wrong from their Weibo interactions. Had something else happened in private?
Chen Feng frowned. “Winning is the most important thing in the competition.”
Don’t go and get triggered by fools.
Wei Xiao spoke calmly, “Give me the shadow thief. We’ll win.”
Chen Feng: “……”
Because they were the first game of the day, the matches started on time at three.
When it came to BP, HU released the shadow thief as expected.
Because of the fuss on Weibo before, many melon seed eaters had come in to watch the excitement.
“I don’t think that Quiet will take the shadow thief.”
“Based on Quiet’s temper, he’s obviously a real man who will go up regardless of difficulties. How could he not take it?”
“God Q, don’t take it! Garbage HU only knows how to use dirty tricks.”
“I’m not a fan, and not a hater, but I’m really curious about whether or not Quiet can brush out nine light arcs.”
The fans who’d all been unwavering in shouting that FTW’s shadow thief was inherited all felt a little guilty.
Maybe, it seemed like, perhaps… Quiet’s shadow thief wasn’t like Close’s where he could brush them out whenever he wanted to.
The BP ended. Wei Xiao successfully obtained the shadow thief.
There was heated discussions on the scrolling comments––
There were fans: “Amitabha, god bless, Baby Q, please don’t collapse!”
There were haters: “HU’s tricks aren’t very proper, but your God Q really is shit.”
There were also the melon seed eating masses, “Coming in out of admiration. I heard that there are nine light arcs to be found here?”
The director cut the camera lens to show Wei Xiao, and the female fans exploded in the scrolling comments.
“Oh my god, how handsome!”
“Did you really not turn on a filter? Can a boy’s skin be this good?”
“I’m impressed, I’m impressed, my eyelashes aren’t that curly even when I curl them.”
“How come it feels like God Q is in a bad mood?”
“Although it might not be very good to say this, but a Quiet who isn’t smiling is very alpha-like!”
“I’m willing, really willing. I’m 18 years old and short of a 19 year old husband!”
On the HU side, nobody said anything. Their expressions were dignified.
In particular, there was their jungler Han Gu who stared fixedly at the screen. He really wished he could kill this shadow thief thousands of times!
The match began.
The noisy and lively scrolling comments were all stunned silly after the shadow thief reached level six.
“Holy shit, who said that he can’t brush out nine light arcs?!”
The author has something to say:
Cough, cough. Let me say it again, don’t be scared, it’ll be fine, kiss.
xiin: WX – *eyes HU* perfect, i’ve found some sandbags to vent my emotions on.
