Chapter 23.1: Laozi is the resentful husband!

Wei Xiao’s mood was complicated. He felt aggrieved for Tang Chen’s sake and felt even more aggrieved for Close.

He was a lofty number 1 in the world. Why did he have to be taken advantage of by a newcomer!

Was Close so easy to deal with? He was supposed to be a cold, indifferent, and merciless great demon king!

Then, Wei Xiao remembered the events from two years ago…

At the time, Close had already been a looming, high up mountain for countless professional players.

Wei Xiao had entered the youth training camp because he’d watched the live broadcast of his single player match in the world finals.

The knife stab from the thief that had turned the tables on the entire match, had broken through the championship night and made Wei Xiao’s blood boil!

In fact, he’d been playing Glory for a long time, but the level of the students around him was just average. They would only hold onto him and call him daddy, begging him to take them flying.

Winning was too easy, and Wei Xiao soon lost interest.

It wasn’t even as difficult as math problems. What was so fun about it?

Until he saw Close.

The flying thief who flew around looking for every possible opportunity, the shadow thief’s light arcs that filled the skies, the spirit thief’s sixteen-hit combo…

Countless extreme operations made Wei Xiao’s scalp go numb.

He’d stayed awake the entire night in the training camp and discovered that it was very difficult for him to repeat Close’s operations.

Being unable to do it made it exciting!

At the time, there’d been a scout in the international servers, and Wei Xiao had immediately agreed to go to the training camp.

When the youth training camp was over, he’d had his wish fulfilled and met Close, then soloed with him like he’d wanted.

He’d lost for 48 hours, but that had only left Wei Xiao even more excited.

However…

Wei Xiao pushed back into his memories and found that Close was really quite easy to talk to.

Just based on his foolish request, not only had Close agreed, he’d also accompanied him and gone nuts for 48 hours.

Later, his sleepwalking had acted up again, and not only did Close not kick him out of bed, he even allowed him to sleep on his arm all night long…

The more Wei Xiao went over things in his heart, the unhappier he grew.

The cold faced, cold hearted great demon king was actually soft on the inside, and this had been discovered by other people.

F*ck!

Who the hell was this newcomer?!

Wei Xiao was concentrating on brewing vinegar, but his doggy son had already started ‘chasing beauty’.

The husky howled and pounced towards Chen Feng.

Coach Chen Feng froze when he saw it coming.

Wei Xiao was tugged along behind it and came back to his senses, “Soybean, behave!”

As a serious ‘face-con dog’, Soybean was now interested in Chen Feng and aroo-arooed as it tried to go and ‘kiss’ him.

Chen Feng was gaping, “Hus-husky?”

Wei Xiao worked hard to stabilize Soybean’s mood and said, “Don’t be scared, Brother Chen. It doesn’t bite, it’s just a little… overly intimate.”

Chen Feng had been called ‘her majesty the queen’ by his fans, not only because of his sharp tongue, but also due to his face.

Why was the ‘Double Feng’ (Lu Feng, Chen Feng) CP so popular? It was purely based on appearance.

One just had to look at the husky’s mesmerized expression to know what Coach Chen Feng’s face was like!

Bai Cai went downstairs and was stupefied when he saw Soybean, “Old Wei, it’s enough for you to come. Why are you even bringing your family?”

Wei Xiao’s tone wasn’t courteous, “You know how it behaves!”

Bai Cai was amused and explained it to everyone else, “Coach, don’t panic. This is a real, genuine face-con dog. It won’t be able to move its legs when it sees a good-looking person. When Old Wei went to the pet shop, he’d originally just wanted to buy a cat. Yet as result, this husky jumped over and clung to him without letting go. The owner of the store couldn’t do anything about it and could only sell the dog at half price. Old Wei picked up a bargain!”

Picked up a bargain?

Wei Xiao often suspected that he’d been cheated by the shopkeeper!

“Soybean, control yourself!”

Wei Xiao was about to lose his hold on this guy.

Bai Cai was familiar with Soybean and went over to scratch its forehead, “Soybean, were you abducted and brought over by the great demon king?”

Soybean: “Ao?”

He had already looked at Brother Cai enough. He bumped against him in a friendly manner before turning to launch himself at Chen Feng.

Bai Cai laughed as he scolded, “You’re a little bastard that abandons friendship for a pretty face.”

He then glanced at Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao didn’t receive his vague signals as he was busy pulling Soybean back.

At this time, Ning Zhehan and Yue Wenle had also come out.

Soybean looked at granny gray, then looked at the little white face and had trouble deciding between them for a while.

Bai Cai was amused, “Brother Soybean, you’re really great. You even have a back palace harem to choose from!”

Wei Xiao was going crazy, “Come and f*cking help me, laozi can’t hold him back anymore!”

Bai Cai didn’t care. He found it hilarious and laughed as he watched the show.

Soybean suddenly stopped struggling and pounced in the opposite direction.

Wei Xiao suddenly toppled forward due to inertia…

“Careful.” Wei Xiao was pulled back and prevented from falling over.

Soybean wasn’t concerned at all about how its owner was doing and pounced over with a cry.

This was how Wei Xiao ended up pushed into the arms of the man behind him by his own doggy son.

Lu Feng let out a muffled grunt as he supported both human and dog.

Wei Xiao was flustered and exasperated, “Soybean! If I don’t stew you today, I’ll…”

“Be good.”

The low voice was clear and light against Wei Xiao’s ear.

Lu Feng’s left arm was at his waist, and his right hand stretched out from behind him as he took the leash from Wei Xiao’s hand.

Wei Xiao’s body was as stiff as steel!

Lu Feng held down the restless dog, “Behave.”

Soybean the face-con dog really behaved and sat down honestly, its tongue hanging out and looking as gentle and meek as a quail.

Bai Cai’s chin almost dropped to the ground. This was even more intense than his little stories! They hadn’t even entered the base yet, but they’d already started up a family of three!

He was convinced. Brother Cai’s pair of eyes could really see through too much!

Wei Xiao turned around and saw Lu Feng.

Lu Feng had gone to park the car. “Don’t always be angry with it. It’ll still be mischievous even if you lose your temper.”

Wei Xiao: “…………”

Lu Feng released Wei Xiao and teased the husky, “Do you want to go play in the garden?”

Husky: “Ao!”

Lu Feng: “I’ll take you there.”

Husky: “Aroo!”

Wei Xiao moved a few steps and arrived at Bai Cai’s side. He whispered, “Your captain is so versatile, he even knows dog language.”

Bai Cai glanced at him, “That’s because it’s Soybean!”

If the dog didn’t belong to you, how could it have been allowed to step through the gate of the base?!

Wei Xiao shook his head, “I really didn’t expect that Soybean and Close would get along so well. Don’t they say that licking dogs will lick until they have nothing left?”

Bai Cai: “………”

Wei Xiao commented, “Soybean was really born as a winner of life.”

Bai Cai had a task to accomplish. “The training match is in the afternoon. I’ll show you around.”

Wei Xiao was about to end up with a hole in his back from someone’s staring and also wanted to leave, “Sure.”

Bai Cai let everyone know, then brought Wei Xiao with him and left.

As soon as Wei Xiao left, Ning Zhehan couldn’t help saying, “The Grandmaster is different from what I imagined!” He was so young and so good looking!

Yue Wenle’s teeth were itchy, “I’ll remember that face.”

Tang Chen found it funny, “Lele, tone it down a bit. The captain will come and get you if you scare him off.”

Yue Wenle stared at Wei Xiao and said darkly, “Brother Tang, you don’t understand. Beasts will never be scared away, they’ll only charge up in the face of difficulties.”

From a certain perspective, Old Yue understood Wei Xiao very well.

Wei Xiao sidled over to Bai Cai and said in a low voice, “Is your God Le fond of men?”

Bai Cai felt a headache coming on as soon as he heard him speak, “F*cking wake up!”

Wei Xiao cleared his throat, “Look at that gaze he’s using on me. It’s really warm, like love at first sight.”

Bai Cai: “He was hammered into crying by you when he was in the reserve team. He turned from a Little Ning into an old pro; aren’t you clear about how this situation is in your own damned heart?!”

At the time, Wei Xiao had already developed his habit of reviewing the game after training. At the time, Bai Cai had been too naive and hadn’t ‘audited’ the video before directly forwarding it to the ‘bosses’.

Yue Wenle back then was like the current Ning Zhehan, pure, innocent, and full of curiosity.

Although he’d been hammered into seclusion, he admired the Grandmaster in his heart. He felt that his skill was inferior and that he still needed to work hard.

The Grandmaster had sent him an after-sales video again. After watching the first one, the simple and innocent Yue Wenle had been extremely touched, his heart pounding with admiration. He felt that although he’d just spent 10,000 yuan, he’d met a mentor and a friend, a very valuable thing.

With that in mind, he clicked on the second video.

He came face to face with Grandmaster’s personal show featuring his own fancy moves, as well as a showcase of all the ways he’d lost face and ended up on the floor.

The point was that the review video was only 30 minutes long while the personal show lasted for an hour and a half!

Love turning into hate?

Turning from a fan to a hater?

These changes only required one and a half hours.

To hell with mentoring, to hell with friendship, this was an old beast that had smeared him into the ground over and over again!

Lele, who’d experienced a social beating, grew up to become Old Yue. He was black-hearted, and his hands were vicious on the court. Wei Xiao had been indispensable in this process.

Today, Yue Wenle was seeing the Grandmaster with his own eyes. This mood…

It was like a person who’d become successful in his career who went back to his alma mater and saw the teaching director who had once chased after him to beat him up.

This kind of love was deep, old, and unforgettable!

Wei Xiao sighed, “Your God Le’s psychological quality isn’t good enough, hey. People have to look forward, not stare constantly at the past.”

Bai Cai laughed sarcastically and thought, those with bad psychological quality are a dime a dozen. You can savor it slowly, properly, in full detail when you come back.

“This is the training room.” Bai Cai opened the door to show Wei Xiao, “There are three settings, individual special training, doubles training, and five person, undifferentiated day and night training.”

Wei Xiao: “It really is a champion team. The atmosphere is rich and powerful.”

This training room was very eye-catching. The equipment within was all top-grade, and the keyboards and mice were all 20,000 to 30,000 yuan each. Amazing!

Bai Cai deliberately caught his interest, but refused to show him more, “This is the conference room, the library, the gym, the entertainment room…”

They went down floor by floor. Wei Xiao was left speechless, “Old Bai, you’re living in such a wealthy mansion. Why are you still so greedy for money?”

Bai Cai snarked at him, “Is there anyone who would complain about having too much money?”

Wei Xiao: “Yes.”

Bai Cai was just about to ask who that fool was when Wei Xiao added, “Look at me, I’ve saved up three million and don’t even know how I should spend it.”

Bai Cai couldn’t hold back, “You fool!”

This guy’s life mission was really to pull aggro!

Wei Xiao corrected him, “It’s a fool who has three million in savings and no interest in spending it.”

Bai Cai: “……………”

One of the biggest mistakes he’d made in his life was getting to know this beast.

The two of them sniped back and forth, then Wei Xiao thought of the matter that was weighing on his heart, “What’s the matter with your new top-lane? Is he really so amazing that he won’t even come when invited to the training match?”

Bai Cai finally found an opportunity to bring the topic back to the main point, “He’s pretty amazing.”

Wei Xiao was worried and upset. “Close likes him that much?”

The corner of Bai Cai’s lips twitched. “I can’t give an evaluation on the Captain’s affairs.”

Wei Xiao couldn’t suppress the sour taste to his words, “I looked through the list of all newcomers in the past two years and didn’t find anyone who was worthy of Close’s attention.”

Bai Cai thought to himself: Why don’t you go beyond the past two years?

Of course, he wouldn’t say it. It wasn’t time yet.

“Tone it down a bit.” Bai Cai disdained him, “That vinegar smell is going to reach the heavens!”

Wei Xiao choked.

Bai Cai: “Do you know what you look like now? A resentful woman.”

Wei Xiao would rather lose the troops than lose the fight, “How can laozi be a resentful wife?!”

Bai Cai: “Look at your current appearance, you’re just like a typical boudoir girl…”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Wei Xiao immediately explained himself, “Laozi is the resentful husband!”

Bai Cai: “???”

Wei Xiao clarified, “Complaining husband, get it? Husband, not wife!”

F*ck, was that your key point?!

Brother Cai gave up!

What made Bai Cai stumble and almost fall on the way to the elevator was that Wei Xiao even sighed and said very frankly, “Old Bai, how come that damned newcomer is so lucky? I’m so jealous.”

Really. The words that Wei Xiao said were things that Bai Cai didn’t even dare use in his short stories!

If he wrote them, the fans would probably scold him for bullshitting, for being unrealistic, for being false!

However, it was all real! So real that he wanted to block his ears and turn deaf!

xiin: WX, you’re really seasoning yourself with your own vinegar…
