Chapter 215.1: Oh... the whole L&P and Pro teams are here. (1/2)
They agreed to meet the next afternoon.
Wei Xiao was quite kind about it. He asked Lu Feng, “Should we go and inform God Kim?”
Forget about Yuan Ze; if they told him ahead of time, he might even purposely stir up some trouble. It wouldn’t be a stretch for that old beast to turn around, tie EVE and FTW together, and then screw them over together.
Kim Sung-hyun had a good reputation in FTW, and Wei Xiao cared about him.
Lu Feng: “Whatever you want.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes curved. “Alright, I’ll take care of it!”
He gave Kim Sung-hyun a call, but he’d never thought that God Kim would actually have his phone off.
Wei Xiao spread his hands. “In that case, there’s no helping it.”
The corner of Lu Feng’s lips also curved up slightly.
Brother Cai, who was listening to the side, felt panic choke his heart.
There was a sweet little fox hanging around the black-bellied great demon king…
Team of Gods, you’re on your own!
Wei Xiao really had made the phone call, and Kim Sung-hyun really had his phone off, but if he was serious about informing him, he could’ve asked Brother Liu to contact the club manager or someone else in the team, or even leave a WeChat message.
But…
Wei Xiao understood what Lu Feng meant with his ‘whatever you want’.
He didn’t want to give Kim Sung-hyun an advance warning that badly.
It had been three years. Playing a prank on them wasn’t so bad.
Close might feel bad doing it, but Quiet didn’t mind at all!
Why was Kim Sung-hyun’s phone turned off? There was actually a reason behind it.
Before the Chinese finals, Kim Sung-hyun had promised to go back to FTW with Xie He and take a look around after the game.
On the first day after the game, Kim Sung-hyun avoided Xie He.
On the second day, Kim Sung-hyun remained silent.
On the third day, Xie He gave him a call.
Kim Sung-hyun: “I have quite a lot of training matches scheduled. How about…”
There was a click as Xie He hung up.
If he didn’t want to go, then forget it! So, he’d arrange a training match with FTW instead and rush up to ‘send out kills’.
Kim Sung-hyun felt guilty, so he simply turned his phone off and played dead.
The next day, Lu Feng assigned Wei Xiao a driver and let him out to play.
Before leaving, Wei Xiao asked Lu Feng, “You really won’t come?”
Lu Feng really had something to do. “No.”
Wei Xiao: “Alright! Wait for my good news!”
Lu Feng smiled. “Don’t mess around too fiercely.”
Wei Xiao: “I have a sense of discretion~!”
He wasn’t going alone. Little Secretary Cai had taken a high hourly salary to accompany President Wei to go on an expedition at the old base.
Wei Xiao disdained him. “What are you coming with me for?”
Brother Cai casually spoke nonsense, “Helping the captain keep an eye on you.”
Wei Xiao: “I won’t randomly flirt with people.”
Bai Cai: “Are you not clear in your own heart about whether or not you f*cking would?”
There was no door on his mouth, and he could even sweet talk the great demon king. Was there anyone else that he couldn’t sort out?
Wei Xiao cleared his throat and actually showed a slightly shy expression. “It’s not easy having a vinegar king at home.”
Bai Cai: “……”
Wei Xiao came up to him and asked, “Say, why does the captain like being jealous so much?”
Brother Cai rolled his eyes.
Wei Xiao answered his own question, “Is it because he loves me so much?”
Brother Xiao became worked up about this topic, and had a deep discussion about this problem with him the whole way there.
Bai Cai: “………………………………”
He f*cking shouldn’t have gotten into the car!
When they arrived at the hotel EVE was staying in, Brother Cai was finally able to flee for his life and breathe again.
They arrived at just the right time. Xie He was very punctual and ran out from the lobby as soon as the car came to a stop.
The automatic door opened, revealing Xie He in a cap, a black mask, a T-shirt with a distinctive logo, and wide, casual pants. The trouser legs were tucked into limited edition sneakers, and he looked both trendy and stylish. No one else could match his 2.8 meter tall aura.
The doorman’s eyes were locked on him, and he didn’t need to speak to convey his meaning: Which star was this?
His style was really like that of an idol.
Wei Xiao greeted him, “Did God Xie come alone?”
Xie He was wearing a mask, and his voice was a little muffled, “Mm.”
Wei Xiao didn’t say anything else, and they got into the car together.
Brother Cai greeted Xie He, and Xie He made a sound in response.
FTW wasn’t far from the hotel. It was a 15-16 minute drive.
Xie He had a cold personality and didn’t speak much. Brother Cai didn’t dare try to strike up a conversation with him, but Wei Xiao didn’t care. He casually brought up yesterday’s training match, talking on his own without any embarrassment.
They went the same route as before. The car first drove past FTW’s current base, and looking out from the window, the lush gardens and the villa nestled within gave the summer afternoon a feeling of coolness and tranquility.
Wei Xiao looked at Xie He. “Do you want to see the new base while you’re here?”
Xie He shook his head. “No need.”
Wei Xiao: “In that case, let’s go directly to the old base.”
Xie He nodded and turned to look out the window at this familiar, yet strange scene.
The urban area in S City had changed a lot. Three years was neither long nor short; for a small familiar town, it might even remain unchanged over a long period of time like the flowing streams in the village. For the ever-changing big cities, three years was an earth-shaking amount of time.
The e-sports park was in the suburbs, and it was a new project that had been completed a year ago.
The old FTW base was also in this area, but there had been no concept of an e-sports park at the time. Clubs had just settled there without any pre-agreements, and only later was an e-sports park planned in the area.
Xie He was an S City native, but by now, he’d been wandering outside for three years.
How could he not be homesick?
He missed the people close to him, and he missed everyone.
His eyelashes drooped slightly. He didn’t quite dare to look at the old FTW base in front of him.
