Chapter 178: When jungler kings meet, there must be a shou! (1/2)

Wei Xiao had a dream.

The dream was vague, and there were many messy scenes piled up together. It was absurd and chaotic.

He walked down the street where he’d lived for over ten years. It looked like how it was now during his adulthood, but the scenes were from his childhood.

There was a small shop that sold cheap snacks, an old man that sold roasted melon seeds, the grocery store grandma who was extremely nitpicky and wouldn’t even let super cheap tofu off, and his favorite rice and oil shop––the one with glossy white grains and fragrant sesame oil––that made him feel as if he wouldn’t get tired even if he watched it all day.

Wei Xiao stood on the street, waiting for his grandma.

Every time he had this dream, he would see his grandma. It was even more strange tonight, because he knew he was dreaming in his dream.

Wei Xiao was waiting for his grandma, but what he saw was a little baby child with black hair, soft ears, and skin the color of snow.

The child was only three or four years old and stood there alone, dressed in old clothing. His tender, tofu-like hands were smeared with dust, his gaze drooped, and his long eyelashes were like dark feathery fans, covering his bright black eyes.

Then, Wei Xiao saw Wei Quan and Li Su.

Wei Quan was scolding Li Su, and it was very unpleasant to listen to.

Li Su was criticizing him and shouting that she wanted to get a divorce.

Wei Xiao only felt that it was completely absurd as he watched this scene unfold.

His parents didn’t pay attention to anyone but each other. How could they get divorced?

Until Li Su turned to the child and scolded, “It’s all your fault. If I hadn’t given birth to you, I wouldn’t have had to suffer in this damned place!”

The child hung his head, his long black hair covering his forehead as he opened his mouth and said, “I’m sorry.”

His voice was soft and light and was very apologetic, but an innate coolness could still be heard within the tone of his voice.

Wei Xiao’s heart felt like it had been smashed by a stone. He strode over to look at the child’s appearance.

Black hair, pale skin, dark eyes like pools of water in a deep valley that was quiet and impregnable.

Lu Feng.

Wei Xiao was stunned.

He’d thought that it was himself, but it turned out to be a young Lu Feng.

Wei Quan and Li Su began to abuse each other again, until the crazed Wei Quan swung his arm. Seeing that they were about to hit Lu Feng, Wei Xiao grabbed his wrist, his voice cold and angry, “Don’t touch him.”

“Little Xiao?” The man’s low voice rang out in Wei Xiao’s ear, pulling him out of the nightmare.

Wei Xiao’s heart beat very fast, and he couldn’t return to his senses for a long time.

Lu Feng hugged him, his voice hoarse, “A nightmare?”

Wei Xiao hugged him hard and breathed lightly. “Mm.”

“What did you dream of?”

Wei Xiao shook his head.

“It’s nothing, it was just a dream.”

“Mm.”

“Go back to sleep; it’s still early.”

Wei Xiao leaned into his arms and smelled that light familiar scent. His heartbeat gradually slowed down.

He wasn’t asleep, and he couldn’t fall sleep, but his heart felt at peace.

What had the captain experienced when he was a child?

Had the captain also apologized to his irresponsible parents like that as a child?

Wei Xiao had suffered this dream because of the regret in his heart.

He regretted that he hadn’t met Lu Feng earlier, that he hadn’t been able to hold him, that he hadn’t been able to…

A touch that was like a very gentle kiss landed between Wei Xiao’s eyebrows. It was restrained and light, as though the giver was afraid of waking him up.

The regret Wei Xiao felt in his heart scattered in an instant.

Because there was no need to regret.

He could protect the Lu Feng from the past now in the present.

They were only three short days away from the playoffs.

FTW’s first game was against GOQ. It was the first game of the playoffs, and simultaneously, it would also be Close’s first game after his return.

Official marketing had already been launched, and the height of the fans’ expectations was endless. The tickets had sold out in one go, and there were even scalpers offering tickets at sky-high prices.

When Brother Cai heard how much the tickets cost, he was dumbfounded. “Brother Liu, let’s sell bench seats…”

Bench seats weren’t for the substitutes. It was seating offered for the team’s personnel.

It was at the very front row, the first row, and each row had five to six seats. If it was sold, they could make a huge amount of money. Brother Cai’s eyes had already turned into a string of dollar signs.

Xiang Liu: “……”

Wei Xiao bonked him on the head. “Be a little more promising.”

Brother Cai had just been running his mouth. “A full man doesn’t understand a hungry man’s hunger.”

Wei Xiao jeered at him, “You get 1000 a day for walking the dog, and 300 to squeeze watermelon juice, 500 if you bring me meals…”

Brother Cai: “!”

Everyone present were insiders who knew the situation. Brother Liu pretended like he didn’t know anything.

Wei Xiao stared at him. “With this, you’re still hungry?”

The captain had already given this bastard enough subsidies!

Brother Cai hurriedly said, “Aiya, how could there be too much of such things.”

Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Brother Cai shut up. At this moment, Little Lunatic Wei unexpectedly had a bit of the presence of a ‘boss lady’.

Great. Not only did Brother Cai shut up, he also shivered. His own thoughts had struck him with lightning and left him numb all over!

When it came to the first game in the playoffs, the four little ones were all very relaxed.

GOQ really wasn’t strong enough to worry about. Not to mention now that Close was back, they would be able to beat up the other side unilaterally even if it was Brother Tang on the team instead.

The GOQ players were also very relaxed. Ever since they’d been given an on-the-spot game replay review by the grandmaster, they had already managed to achieve very good results during the regular season.

What kind of top four were they aiming for?

For them to be able to enter the top eight was already something that made their club boss start laughing to himself in the middle of the night, so elated that he wasn’t even able to close his mouth.

It was even to the point where––

“It doesn’t matter if you lose. What’s important is that you have to ask the grandmaster to help us review the game afterwards.”

GOQ’s mid-laner, jungler, and support who all still had a deep shadow on their hearts: “…………” There was really no need!

The playoffs were equivalent to the end of the season. Compared with the long regular season that was packed with games, the playoffs only had a pitiful number of games.

Eight into four had a total of four games.

There were two games for the semi-finals.

And finally, there was the national finals.

No matter how they counted, it would all be over in a week.

This year’s home game was in S City, so FTW didn’t need to move around and was much more relaxed.

3U and TPT, who were far away in B City, were preparing to head to S City.

Wei Xiao was idle and bored and went to help his captain make up for his live broadcast time. He encountered Asleep in the professional server.

The scrolling comments were instantly excited.

“When jungler kings meet, there must be a shou!”

“Ummmm, my Brother Sleep belongs to Cong Yi.”

“My Q Cub belongs to the great demon king.”
