Saint ended their journey for this season. In the last game, that scene of Angel Sword desperately helping Old A to take a head could easily rouse people’s emotions. It was also only then that most players found out that Old A and Angel Sword were originally from the same trainee batch. It was only then that they knew that Angel Sword had this inconspicuous shixiongdi in the same year for so many years. It was a really rare thing that such a steadfastly loyal teammate for so many years. In a very rare display, that night, the FOG game staff used their official account on the major media platforms both domestically and abroad to express their thanks to Old A and the positive effect he has had to the competition for so many years. They also made a special wrap up for Angel Sword and Old A. Old A’s seven year career was considered to have been carried out to the end.

  “Very good, it’s a good start.”


  After the training that night, Old Qiao looked at the announcements that the officials have made for Old A. He said with satisfaction, “It shouldn’t just be the star players that get a grand send-off every time. Ordinary players have also played for so many years. While it may be true that they deserve to earn less, but they should be given the amount of respect that they deserve. After all, they didn’t work any less harder than others.”


  “With this kind of publicity, if he decides to do live broadcasts in the future, he will be able to negotiate a high price with the live broadcast platform.” Zhou Huo thoughts were the most practical, “Saint is very generous and gives their players a way to live out their life in retirement and now, he also has this publicity from the officials. If Old A becomes a training partner and starts a live broadcast in the future, he might not make a huge fortune but it’ll be enough to make him pretty well off. Not bad.”


  When Zhou Huo said that, Old Qiao felt more at ease. “Yes, he gets to stay in the club and he can have a little bit of money too. That’s good…… Okay, let’s go to bed. We’ll be back to regular training tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, everyone needs to do their best in the semi-finals.”


  Everyone went back to their rooms one after the other. Shi Luo was last.

  The semi-finals were coming the day after tomorrow. According to what had been agreed upon before, Yu Sui won’t be sleeping with Shi Luo. Shi Luo went back to his dormitory by himself and after washing up, lay in his bed in a daze, staring at the ceiling.

  He had received too much emotional stimulation during the day and his brain was still too excited to sleep.

  The way Angel Sword staked everything, repeatedly throwing himself in front of Old A was still playing back in Shi Luo’s mind. But Shi Luo wasn’t thinking of those two but of Yu Sui.

  Shi Luo turned over and wanted to sleep, but his mind was filled with thoughts of Yu Sui.

  Two years ago, Yu Sui also protected him like this.

  The medic job seemed to be really magical. No matter what their original temperament, after playing this profession, they will always become a photon shield for their club.

  They keep out the wind and rain in peacetime and go through water and tread on fire in times of crisis.

  Shi Luo really couldn’t fall asleep, so he couldn’t help picking up his phone to read the news. The e-sports sector was basically discussing Saint. Shi Luo felt more and more fired up as he read. He wanted to go to the training room and start playing a couple more games.

  It’s just that it’s too late and it’s inconvenient. Shi Luo had no way to vent so he logged onto his Weibo side account and posted a sincere and heartfelt message: [@Free-Whisper @Saint-Angel Sword, the shields of our competitive region. 】


  After posting one, Shi Luo still wasn’t satisfied. He posted another small love essay of his own: [Can’t sleep. I’m thinking of Yu Sui. I regret not sleeping with him today. I actually like him sleeping with his arms around me. I sleep best when he’s here. 】


  After sending it, he firmly closed his eyes and tried to sleep.

  After lying down for another three minutes, Shi Luo resignedly opened his eyes, bright and full of expression. It was hopeless trying to sleep.

  He picked up his phone. It was still on the Weibo interface. Shi Luo swiped up and looked at the posts he had made before and he suddenly felt that he was sickeningly sappy.

  When he posts these kinds of love posts, he really feels very sentimental. But when he looks back at them once that intense emotion had passed, they feel unbearably cringe-y. Shi Luo couldn’t stand bear to look at it and quickly swiped down. As he did so, he accidentally found that the post that he’d just made had already gotten dozens of replies.

  Shi Luo couldn’t understand. It was in the middle of the night. How could this little side account of his gather so many people’s attention?

  Shi Luo remembered that Yu Sui had told him before not to pay any attention to the comments. He hesitated but still gave in to his curiosity and clicked open the comments.

  [It’s already so so so late at night, are you starting again again again? ]

  [I’m really worried that Whisper will have nightmares in the middle of the night. ]

  [@Freee-sports club We give you the same question everyday. Have you refuted the rumors? Clarified? Have you had this account banned? No, you are already dead. ]

  [This deranged account is still around? @Free E-sports club, are you going to continue to pretend to be blind? ]

  [This is exhausting. I hope my four players can be safe, play the game well without having to suddenly retire. Can’t even this little bit of request be met? ]

  [Yu Shen hugs you to sleep? Ha ha ha ha ha……You might as well say that he also tells you bedtime stories. Wake up. ]

  He knew there was nothing good, but Shi Luo was used to it. He turned off Weibo and was just about to put his phone aside when a message came in.

  [Whisper]: [Are you asleep? ]

  [Whisper]: [If you’re not asleep, want to come to my room? ]

  Shi Luo looked at the two WeChat messages that Yu Sui sent and his eyes flickered slightly.

  It was agreed before that they wouldn’t sleep together before important games.

  They were both in the prime of their youth and it wasn’t uncommon for them to shoot accidentally while polishing a gun when they share a room. Usually, it is nothing to make trouble over. If you get up late the next day, at worst, they will be fined. But this was the even of the semi-finals. It wasn’t appropriate to allow something to affect their work and rest.

  At the same moment, Yu Sui was in his base dorm room. After washing up, he lay on his bed and looked at his phone.

  He was going to sleep already but suddenly a notification appeared on his phone.

  Worried that he would miss his little boyfriend’s love essays, Yu Sui had set up a special notification for Shi Luo’s Weibo side account.

  Just now, there were two prompts. Yu Sui opened it and took a look.

  There was nothing wrong with the previous one, just a case of chuunibyou feels. After reading the latest one, Yu Sui sent Shi Luo a message.

  He just wasn’t sure if Shi Luo would come.

  Yu Sui lay on his bed and waited for ten minutes after sending the WeChat message. Shi Luo didn’t come over nor did he reply.

  Yu Sui was a little sleepy. He combed through his hair and when he was about to get up, the door of to his dorm room clicked.

  In the darkness, Yu Sui smiled lightly.

  His boyfriend moved very lightly. It seemed he was a bit embarrassed.

  Yu Sui didn’t speak or move. He pretended to be asleep. Eyes closed, he listened to Shi Luo slowly walking over to his bed. With a bit of rustling, he lifted up the quilt and got under it very carefully.

  Shi Luo probably also believed that Yu Sui was already asleep. His movements couldn’t be any lighter. After getting into the quilt, bit by bit, he turned on his side and snuggled against Yu Sui.

  Yu Sui turned sideways and suddenly took Shi Luo into his arms.

  Shi Luo was taken aback, “You……”


  “Shhh……” Yu Sui whispered, “Don’t make a fuss. Just sleep here.”


  Shi Luo moved and replied with an “en”. As per habit, he pulled Yu Sui’s arm and put Yu Sui’s slightly cool hand into his singlet. He moved again and found himself a more comfortable position.

  Yu Sui hugged Shi Luo and pressed a kiss to the side of his face. “Have you gotten used to sleeping with me? Now you can’t sleep alone?”


  Shi Luo was too embarrassed to admit it. He did not speak and instead rubbed his head against Yu Sui.

  Yu Sui carelessly rubbed Shi Luo’s head and whispered, “Go to sleep.”


  He had a good night’s sleep with sweet dreams and the next day, as per usual, Yu Sui woke up earlier than Shi Luo.

  Every night, Shi Luo never gets enough sleep and he can never wake up without an alarm clock. Yu Sui didn’t wake him up even though he washed up in the same room.

  After a quick wash and tidying up, he went out of the dorm room and headed downstairs.

  It was almost eleven o’clock. The cleaning aunt had already prepared breakfast and placed it in the warmer. Yu Sui walked into the kitchen. Puppy was also already up. He was eating breakfast and playing on his phone.

  The two looked at each other and took that as a greeting. Yu Sui went to the kitchen and took out an insulated food box. He opened the warmer to get some breakfast.

  “Hey……” Puppy refused to look. “Can you not be so considerate? You’re actually delivering his meals now? Is he going to get tired coming downstairs to eat breakfast?”


  Yu Sui pretended not to hear him. He picked the foods that Shi Luo liked to eat and stuffed them into the container.

  Puppy looked Yu Sui up and down and couldn’t help but sigh, “Who would have believed it? Slag man Yu could actually dote on his boyfriend so much.”


  As before, Yu Sui took it as Puppy talking nonsense. After he filled the container, he went to grab two bottles of warm milk. When he was about to take these things upstairs, Puppy said lazily, “Let me ask you something.”


  Yu Sui looked back at Puppy, “What?”


  Puppy turned his mobile phone screen to Yu Sui. He said uncertainly, “Some of the fans sent me a message asking me to remind you to be careful. Why do I feel like……”


  Puppy turned the phone over and looked seriously at the screen. Face full of confusion, “Although it’s a bit ridiculous, why do I feel like……this might not be some perverted fan? The more I look at it, the more I think this is……oh.”


  Yu Sui stuffed a piece of bread into Puppy’s mouth, “Trouble originates from the mouth. You wouldn’t want to be killed in order to be silenced, right?”


  Puppy swallowed the bread in his mouth with difficulty. He threw a complicated look upstairs and said with difficulty, “Love sure does change a person. Okay, I will continue to pretend to be blind but kindly remind him that this side account of his is gonna be gone.”


  Puppy rejoiced at other people’s misfortune. “In order to defend your honor, the fans have already reported his account to the site admins. The fans have told me that the official staff have clearly stated that they were going to handle it and they would most probably delete the account.”


  Yu Sui wasn’t anxious. He nodded when he heard this, “Okay, I see.”


  Puppy was a little disappointed to see that Yu Sui hadn’t been scared. He shrugged, “Call Shi Luo to get up. We’ve set up a practice match with Saint today. It’s gonna start at one o’clock in the afternoon.”


  Yu Sui was startled, “Saint?”


  They’ve already lost yesterday’s semi-finals match. This season was over for Saint. At this point, they didn’t have to worry about the next season’s transfer yet and they should also be on holiday. What are they going making appointments for practice matches?

  Puppy put away the smile on his face. “Angel Sword took the initiative to contact Old Qiao. He promised that they will be our free sparring partners before the end of our World Championship run…… It’s to our advantage. Where could we have found such a powerful sparring team?”


  “Angel Sword also said that in addition to us, their team will also provide NSN with free sparring before the end of their World Championship run……” Puppy looked at Yu Sui and said seriously, “This is a bit sappy but just when Old Qiao had just told me about this I really couldn’t say anything for a long time.”


  “Is it because of our two years stint in Europe? I’ve become fully accustomed to a purely commercial team? I couldn’t react at all for a while…… I asked Old Qiao why and Old Qiao said that Angel Sword had said,” Puppy smiled, “All the teams in the local region share one flesh and blood.”


  Yu Sui was silent for a moment, “Saint’s new team member is a striker. After our training matches, have Chen Huo and Shi Luo point out to the newcomer his shortcomings. We shouldn’t just take advantage of their kindness.”


  “Understood.” Puppy nodded, “Then I’ll just make a chat group now, okay? Anyway, we’ll be scheduling lots more practice matches with them in the future so I’ll just pull in both Saint and NSN into a group, okay?”


  Yu Sui nodded, “Sure.”


  “Let me just remind you, this isn’t our team’s group chat. When you talk in the chat in the future, act properly. Don’t mistake it and treat it as our own family group chat.” Puppy reminded him while pulling people into the group.” Especially Shi Luo. Have him exercise restraint. If he lets out something when it’s just us, that’s fine. But if people from other teams see something, it might be…… quite provocative.”


  Yu Sui took the food container and said lightly, “I know.”
