Chapter 207.2: If I die at Kim Sung-hyun’s hands, I’d still make a fashionable ghost.

Lu Feng said, “It’s not necessarily a bad thing.”

Wei Xiao lifted his head up to look at him. “Hm?”

Lu Feng said, “Have you played chess before?”

Wei Xiao shook his head. He’d been focused on making a living from a young age and hadn’t cultivated any hobbies. Gaming had been an unexpected surprise.

Lu Feng had thought of this too. He kissed the tips of his hair in distress and said gently, “Playing chess usually involves calculating three different paths with each step.”

Wei Xiao: “I get it! You mean thinking many steps ahead with every step.”

“There’s no need to think so many steps ahead.”

Wei Xiao was a curious little baby. “What do you mean?”

“For example, if the two of us are playing chess. I know how to play, but you don’t.”

“I really don’t know how to play, but, captain, you can do anything!”

Lu Feng didn’t get distracted by his words and went on, “I can play chess, and Fu Li knows how to play chess. If the two of us play, he’ll calculate what I’ll do three steps ahead, while I calculate four steps ahead. In that case, I’ll win.”

Wei Xiao nodded.

Lu Feng continued, “If we switch people, and I play chess with you. I’ll calculate three steps ahead, but you don’t calculate a single step. Who will win?”

Wei Xiao’s eyes lit up. He got it!

To put it bluntly, this was a hierarchy problem. To win over a person, it was best if you were one level higher than them. If your level was too high, then it wouldn’t work.

For example, the question of whether to go left or right.

A level one person would go left.

A second level person would guess that the level one person would go to the left, so he would go to the right.

The third level person would guess that the second level person would go right, so he would go left.

So, what was the difference in choice between the person on level one and level three?

Ning Zhehan and Fu Li’s situation was similar.

The difference between them was definitely more than one level.

So, a Ning Zhehan who hadn’t changed at all, would be the most difficult for Fu Li to deal with.

Wei Xiao understood now and was fully convinced about his boyfriend’s strength, “It’s still the captain who is most amazing!” Fortunately, there wasn’t anyone nearby. Otherwise, Wei Little Xiao would be able to praise him for half an hour.

Lu Feng pressed him down. “Can you sleep now?”

Wei Xiao’s eyes curved, “How about ‘Captain’ acts even more amazingly?”

Lu Feng: “……”

Regardless of how amazing it was, there still came a time when Wei Little Xiao started crying.

After coaxing Wei Xiao to sleep, Lu Feng went up to the balcony to stand under the night wind.

The domestic champion, the national champion.

Could they really go all the way to the end?

Would there really be freedom if they went all the way to the end?

Lu Feng dropped his gaze and looked at the plum tree leaves that had already withered in the garden.

Pro arrived in S City. Lu Feng arranged for the van to go and pick them up from the airport, and Yuan Ze took over this heavy responsibility, saying that he couldn’t just live there for nothing, and he should do some work to contribute.

Wei Xiao: “You’re not afraid that God Kim will kill you?”

Yuan Ze just wanted to see Kim Sung-hyun collapse and didn’t care about his death. “If I die at Kim Sung-hyun’s hands, I’d still make a fashionable ghost.”

Wei Xiao: “…………”

He couldn’t compare with him. He was a real living gay, but he was losing to those straight men!

Yuan Ze personally went to pick them up, giving the cubs from Pro a scare as they hurriedly greeted him.

Yuan Ze’s Korean was extremely fluent, and he soon won over Park Guizhi and the others.

Li Heran was older than Yuan Ze and wasn’t as polite.

Yuan Ze asked him, “How’s your wrist been recently?”

Kim Sung-hyun replied, “Don’t worry, it won’t be a problem to play until you retire.”

Yuan Ze was in a good mood and didn’t get angry. “In that case, you have to hold on for a few more years.”

Kim Sung-hyun crossed his hands over his chest and looked at him. “How come you came to pick me up?”

Yuan Ze: “Can’t I have missed you?”

Kim Sung-hyun was disgusted. “You missed a fart!”

Yuan Ze: “Why are you saying that you’re a fart?”

Kim Sung-hyun: “…………”

Yuan Ze was afraid of beating the grass and scaring away the snake and placated him, “I can’t just live at FTW for nothing. Helping to pick someone up from the airport isn’t a big deal. Besides, we know each other so well.”

Kim Sung-hyun couldn’t bear it anymore. He used Chinese to complain, “Old Shit Yuan, you’re really disgusting today.”

Yuan Ze replied in Korean, “That’s right, I’ve always been so handsome.”

The Pro team who couldn’t understand Chinese, “…………” What are you guys talking about?!

Kim Sung-hyun was too lazy to pay attention to him and spoke to Li Heran, “Change seats.” He’d originally been the one sitting in the aisle.

Li Heran got up.

Kim Sung-hyun sat inside, closed his eyes, and kept his mind clear, paying no further attention to Dog Yuan.

One of Yuan Ze’s hobbies was teaching people to speak Chinese. This car was filled with foreign friends who had to be treated well.

So…

“Come on, I’ll teach you guys how to read Kim Sung-hyun’s name in Chinese.”

Kim Sung-hyun: “……”

Park Guizhi was very enthusiastic. “How?”

Yuan Ze: “Ass Kim.”

Kim Sung-hyun: “Yuan Ze!”

Yuan Ze: “What are you calling me for, Ass Kim?”

If it hadn’t been for Li Heran blocking the way, Kim Sung-hyun would’ve kicked him out of the car!

They finally arrived at the base. Yuan Ze was inspired by Wei Xiao’s trick and deliberately had the driver stop at the new FTW base.

The crowd from Pro enjoyed the sight of the FTW castle and let out surprised exclamations.

They’d really been lucky with the land allocations, to be approved for such a large ‘manor’!

Kim Sung-hyun had already had enough of Yuan Ze and wanted to get off the car.

Yuan Ze smiled like a fox. “We’re not there yet.”

Park Guizhi was surprised. “Are we driving in directly?”

Yuan Ze smiled and didn’t say a word.

Kim Sung-hyun really knew him, and his heart couldn’t help but stutter. “Old Bandit…”

Yuan Ze: “Yes?” He replied very smoothly.

Kim Sung-hyun: “You……”

When they finally arrived at the base, Kim Sung-hyun exploded on the spot. “Dog Shit Yuan!”

Yuan Ze didn’t hear a thing.

Kim Sung-hyun: “Are you f*cking human!”

He really wasn’t.

It had been three years. How could God Kim have forgotten what his old teammate was like?

The welcome banquet was very grand. The three teams together added up to nearly 20 people, and it hadn’t been easy to book such a large table.

There was a lazy susan in the middle of the table, with a beautiful centerpiece of flowing water and flowers.

lazy susan – those round spinning things that sit at the middle of big tables

The advantage of such a big table was that people could sit far away from each other. For example, the length of the whole table separated God Kim from Captain Yuan. It was the furthest they could get from each other while still being on the same table.

Nobody in Pro had any opinions about living at FTW’s old base.

The base was large enough, and it had been tidied up thoroughly. The most important thing was that it was equipped with everything they needed and wasn’t inferior to living on their own base. It was also more convenient than staying at a hotel.

After Kim Sung-hyun calmed down, Li Heran spoke, “The hotel we contacted before still has free rooms.”

Kim Sung-hyun shook his head. “We’ll live here.”

Li Heran: “You ……”

Kim Sung-hyun held onto the railing, looking out at this familiar, yet strange scene. He sighed, “It’s quite nice this way.”

The place where it started, the place where it ended.

Although he still wanted to kill Yuan Ze, he was also a little grateful.

Perhaps this would be their last reunion, and their last time living together under one roof.

It was really quite nice, being here.

Given that there was still some time before the global competition, L&P and Pro both drank a bit of beer.

It turned out that, when it came to smoking, professional players could each smoke enough for ten people. But when it came to drinking… ten of them couldn’t drink as much as one ordinary person.

Alcohol tolerance was something that had to be trained up. Alcohol was banned when they had to play professionally, so none of them were good at it.

After downing half a glass of beer into his belly, Kim Sung-hyun began to rage at Yuan Ze for not being a person.

Yuan Ze smiled like a fox. “How about you pull someone else in with you?”

Yan Jiang and Xie He were also on the way. It seemed like they wanted to arrive before the domestic finals in China were held.

Kim Sung-hyun was exasperated. “Who! Give me a name!”

Yuan Ze: “Cough……”

It really wasn’t easy to come up with a name. Yan Jiang wasn’t likely to fall for it, and they couldn’t afford to provoke Xie He.

Kim Sung-hyun looked like an aloof and cold proud flower, and while Xie He looked like he was 1.7 meters, he was actually 2.8 meters. He couldn’t be provoked, couldn’t be provoked at all.

He couldn’t pull someone else in with him, but Kim Sung-hyun still ordered Yuan Ze, “Don’t expose it.”

Yuan Ze got it. “We definitely can’t let them know where we’re living.”

Kim Sung-hyun: “Especially me!”

Yuan Ze: “Got it.”

Kim Sung-hyun didn’t believe him and threatened him directly, “If you expose me, I’ll…”

Yuan Ze: “What will you do?”

Kim Sung-hyun: “I’ll post you up all over the internet!”

Yuan Ze was quite curious. “Post what?”

Kim Sung-hyun: “Post up the naked photos of you from three years ago.”

Yuan Ze was really shocked. “F*ck me, you really kept it!”

Kim Sung-hyun was finally able to win one round and was in a great mood.

Wei Xiao, who hadn’t touched any wine and was drinking watermelon juice, asked Lu Feng, “They……”

Lu Feng peeled a crab leg for him and placed it on his plate. “They’re the same even when they don’t drink.”

Wei Xiao: “………………”

The Team of Gods from back then was a sand sculpture team in essence!

Yan Jiang and Xie He both arrived one day before the finals.

At this time, everyone in FTW was already in closed up training and wasn’t seeing anyone, not even if they were the king of heaven.

For them to pick this time to arrive meant that they likely weren’t thinking about ‘revisiting old times’.

After all, in terms of relationships, these two weren’t as close to Close as Yuan Ze and Kim Sung-hyun were.

Coupled with how they’d been in a separate group for the winter training camp, it made them even more distant.

Xie He contacted Kim Sung-hyun after he landed.

As the most prickly person in the team, Xie He’s relationship with everyone was pretty much the same. However, when the other choice was Beast Yuan, he still chose Proud Flower Kim.

Kim Sung-hyun went out to see him, and the two of them had a couple of drinks.

Xie He asked carelessly, “Where are you guys staying?”

Kim Sung-hyun paused.

Xie He continued, “Is L&P living with FTW?”

This wasn’t a secret, but no one knew that Yuan Ze wasn’t living in the new base and was living in the old base instead.

Kim Sung-hyun nodded and changed the topic.

The two talked about their situation in recent years, and then Xie He suddenly came up with another sentence, “Did you go back to the base?”

How could Kim Sung-hyun not understand what he meant once these words came out?

Their base could only refer to the old building from three years ago.

Xie He bowed his head and swirled his coffee cup, asking softly, “Go back and visit it together?”

Kim Sung-hyun: “!”

The author has something to say:

Proud Flower: There’s really no need!

Xie He: ……
