Wei Xiao ran the whole way back. As he bounced up the steps three at a time, he was practically humming.

He ran into Yue Wenle in the main hall, and Old Yue stared at him in a way that made a shiver run down his back, “Are you staying over tonight?”

It was only when he asked that Wei Xiao realized that this was a problem…

It was already 8 o’clock in the evening. It would be midnight after he soloed with Lu Feng for four hours, and it wouldn’t be easy to return home at that time.

“The base is so big. How could it lack a place for me to sleep?” There was nobody who could beat Wei Xiaoxiao when it came to self-awareness.

Yue Wenle chuckled eerily, giving his handsome little white face a rather psychotic, seductive feel, “That’s great, I’ll be waiting for you.”

Wei Xiao shivered, “Close is looking for me. I’m going up first.”

Yue Wenle: “Go, then.”

Wei Xiao bowed his head and sent Bai Cai a WeChat message, “Old Bai, you have to protect me tonight!”

Bai Cai: “Why?”

It was hard to type with one hand while holding onto a dog.

Wei Xiao: “I’m afraid my virginity can’t be saved!”

Bai Cai was surprised, “You’re f*cking still chaste?”

Wei Xiao: “Get lost, laozi’s virgin body is still pure and fragrant!”

Bai Cai: “……………”

He didn’t want to hear about this at all. Really. He wanted to wash out his ears and brain from out of fear that he’d be assassinated by a thief.

Wei Xiao was still going on, “Like I said, your God Le likes men. The gaze he used to look at me just now was really full of unexpressed deep feelings. He asked me if I was staying the night. I was thinking that since Close and I would be at it until so late, it wouldn’t make sense to go back, so I said I’d be saying. Guess what he did? He said he’d be waiting for me! What is he doing waiting for me at midnight? I’m afraid it’s for the sake of climbing into my bed.”

Bai Cai finished listening to this voice message, and his brain felt like it was cramping, “Wei Xiao.”

Wei Xiao: “?”

Bai Cai: “Go and get lost ahhhhhhhh!”

Wei Xiao: “You’re forgetting the feelings between old teammates now that you have a new one. You don’t even care if I drop dead. I’m going to sleep with Close tonight.”

Bai Cai: “???”

The more Wei Xiao thought about it, the more reasonable it was, “Goodbye. You’re useless. I’m going to dive into Close’s quilt!”

Bai Cai: “………………………………”

For a moment, Bai Cai also didn’t know who to feel distressed for.

He just hoped that he’d been overthinking it. His captain shouldn’t have that kind of intention towards the little beast. Otherwise…

Shit, what kind of human suffering was this?

If one liked a human person, they just needed to keep themselves sharp. If one liked a beast, then their future was really uncertain!

On the other side, Yue Wenle suddenly sneezed several times in a row.

Ning Zhehan worried, “Brother Le, did you catch a cold?”

Yue Wenle shook his head, “No, perhaps I’m too excited.”

Ning Zhehan: “Excited?”

Yue Wenle entered the single player training room and said darkly, “I’m going to solo with One Lamp in four hours. Today, January 21, 2021 will be the day when I, Yue Wenle, clear up my shame!”

It had been a year, and he now finally had a chance to prove himself!

Ning Zhehan: “……”

Was, was it really clearing up his shame, or adding shame on top of shame?

Granny gray’s heart was in the right place. He clenched his fist and encouraged him, “You can do it!”

Wei Xiao pushed open the door to the first doubles training room. Lu Feng was already there.

Wei Xiao’s eyes curved as he sat down opposite him, “Let’s go!”

Lu Feng raised his gaze and looked at him, “You ran?” The youth’s cheeks were red, and his voice was a little short of breath.

Wei Xiao blinked at him, “How could I bear to make you wait for long?”

Lu Feng paused.

Wei Xiao spoke while logging into the game, “I thought about you for two years. Of course I wouldn’t want to delay for a single minute or even a single second.”

Lu Feng: “I never changed my cell phone number in the past two years.”

Back then, Wei Xiao had gotten his contact information.

Wei Xiao thought about how he’d left without saying goodbye and said shamelessly, “How could I have the nerve to contact you?”

Lu Feng stared at the screen, “Oh.”

Wei Xiao was still talking, “Let’s start…”

‘And fight 300 glorious matches’ hadn’t yet left his mouth when he heard Lu Feng say darkly, “It seems like you didn’t think about me enough.”

Wei Xiao: “!”

Wei Xiaoxiao, who could run his mouth all over the sky and forget about it as soon as it was said, ended up kicking an iron plate for once.

And there was no change in expression as Lu Feng calmly and understatedly caused his processing to crash!

“Invited you.”

Lu Feng had already logged into the game and sent him an invitation to fight.

Wei Xiao was immediately distracted, “Okay!”

Two years!

The solo that he’d been thinking about for two years had come at last!

Wei Xiao thought that he would never see Close again in this long and narrow canyon.

But now…

F*ck, his heart was beating really fast!

Could this be the legendary ‘reunion after a brief parting is as sweet as a honeymoon’?

Lu Feng knew what hero Wei Xiao wanted to play the most with his eyes closed.

What was rare was that he fulfilled his wishes and took the shadow thief.

Solo could be played between two people with the same hero and talent, but there were very few people who would be stubborn enough to use the shadow thief when going up against Close.

First of all, this talent spec wasn’t the strongest when it came to solo games. Second, the shadow thief in Close’s hands seemed possessed.

One had to be incredibly hard-headed to use the shadow thief in a solo game against Close.

Two years ago, Wei Xiao had a nickname, Hard-headed Wei.

He’d taken the team cobbled together from the youth training camp and challenged all the major clubs. Who dared to compare with him when it came to sheer stubbornness?!

When he saw Lu Feng’s shadow thief, Wei Xiao’s blood heated up, “I hope you can do one thing.”

Lu Feng looked into the youth’s crystal bright eyes, “Hm?”

“Please make sure to…” Wei Xiao’s mouth curved, “Not take it easy on me!”

Lu Feng’s cold eyes filled with a trace of barely noticeable laughter. He spoke softly, “Okay.”

Indeed, he didn’t take it easy on him at all.

Two years later, Wei Xiao was able to experience even more excitement and stimulation that made his scalp go numb than he had before.

Wei Xiao hadn’t played professionally over the past two years, but he had always been soloing with professional players, and his growth was very obvious. He was definitely stronger and more stable than he’d been two years ago, and yet…

He’d grown up, but so had Lu Feng!

Two years ago, he’d been the great demon king who was the ceiling of Glory, and now he was even stronger!

Previously, Lu Feng hadn’t played very seriously when he was on Yue Wenle’s account. Now that he was completely serious, his strength really exploded out!

In just five minutes, Wei Xiao already felt a strong sense of oppression. Inside the long and narrow canyon, the shadow thief on the opposing side was like a black fog that covered everything. The overwhelming power that pressured him… made Wei Xiao’s fingertips quiver with excitement.

Sure enough…

Close was the strongest.

Sure enough…

Nobody else could compare to the number one in the world.

Sure enough…

He liked Close the most!

The match ended. Wei Xiao lost without a doubt.

However, he was very happy. This was the kind of happiness that no other professional player could give him.

“Exciting!” Wei Xiao breathed softly, then said, “Again!”

He couldn’t bear to waste even a single second of the four hours.

Lu Feng said, “I’ll take the blade gunner.”

Wei Xiao understood instantly, “Okay, I’ll take the divine warrior!”

In the last training match between FTW and L&P, Yuan Ze had taken the blade gunner on the opposite side and Wei Xiao had played the divine warrior.

In that match, Wei Xiao had been suppressed by Yuan Ze and had lost his head ten times.

Now, Lu Feng was recreating that game in their solo match.

In theory, the blade gunner definitely couldn’t beat the divine warrior in a solo game.

The divine warrior could be considered a god in a one on one fight. When coming up against the blade warrior who desperately needed to develop first, it should be able to deal with them like cutting melons and chopping vegetables.

Of course….

The strength of a hero depended more on the person who was using them.

The blade gunner in Lu Feng’s hands had the same essence as Yuan Ze’s.

There were many variables in 5v5, but there were only two people facing off against each other in a solo match.

Whether or not they could win against their opponent depended on their personal operations.

Wei Xiao was completely engrossed in it, unconscious of the fact that they’d already soloed for three hours.

Other than in the first match, Lu Feng used the blade gunner the whole time, and Wei Xiao used the divine warrior the whole time.

The two of them repeated the same hero choices and faced each other again and again.

Until the last match where Wei Xiao played out a set of moves…

First Blood!

Wei Xiao took down the first kill.

He’d taken the lead in killing Close’s blade gunner!

The corner of Lu Feng’s mouth raised slightly, “Good.”

Wei Xiao was even more excited, “Next game, I’ll be able to win against you in the next game!”

Lu Feng looked at the time. “It’s twelve.”

Wei Xiao: “Ah?”

He looked up in a daze. On the huge electronic clock to the side, the numbers were displayed accurately––12:00:00.

Like Cinderella at the ball, Wei Xiao had to leave the ball before having danced enough!

How could Wei Xiao be willing? He hurried to say, “One match, just one more match.”

Lu Feng quit the room, “Tired.”

Wei Xiao bounced up from his chair, “How could you be tired!”

Without waiting for Lu Feng to say more, Wei Xiao had already walked around behind him, “Is your neck tired? Your shoulders? Back? I’ll massage it for you!”

After saying so, a cool hand landed on Lu Feng’s neck.

Lu Feng grabbed Wei Xiao’s wrist.

Wei Xiao froze.

Lu Feng immediately let go, and turned his chair to look at him, “Wei Xiao.”

Wei Xiao was a little surprised. Lu Feng’s hand was very strong, and his wrist hurt slightly from the grip, “Hm?”

Lu Feng looked into his eyes, “Do you want to win?”

Wei Xiao didn’t know why, but he didn’t quite dare to look at him, “Yes.”

Lu Feng: “Do you only want to win against me?”

Wei Xiao was instantly left speechless.

xiin: lol @ Wei Xiao willing to do anything for another game… fortunately Lu Feng isn’t a total beast~
