Lu Feng: “……”

Wei Xiao felt at ease again. Words that would make anyone else embarrassed enough to want to drill into the ground were really useful in easing awkwardness when it came to him.

After half a beat of silence, Lu Feng spoke again, “Then are you marrying or not?”

Wei Xiao: “Ah?”

The iron plate was in front of him. Wei Xiaoxiao slammed into it head-first and ended up with a bump!

Lu Feng laughed briefly, “I’m asking if you want to join FTW.”

He deliberately dragged out the word ‘join’. In the extensive and profound Chinese language, ‘marry’ and ‘join’ sounded vaguely similar.

Wei Xiao could sense that Lu Feng was teasing him, and it aroused his desire for victory.

It was fine to lose in solo matches, but when it came to shamelessness, he was invincible!

Wei Xiao: “Marry!”

Lu Feng’s eyes were full of laughter, “Hm?”

Wei Xiao’s eyes were full of provocation as he said super loudly, “I. Want. To. ‘Marry’. Into. FTW!”

At the stairway, the Old Yue who’d matured from a little white face into a vampire, who had been wandering around for a full four hours, “???”

In his hazy confusion, what kind of amazing news had he just heard?

Marry?

Marry!

F*ck, he’d originally been carrying a figurative bow and arrow, wanting to shoot right through this delicious spicy chicken. But now…

To hell with shooting!

The godly marksman Yue Wenle slipped away in disgrace. He was afraid, he didn’t dare. He was afraid that he might end up shooting out a Cupid’s arrow!

After crying for most of the night, Wei Xiao was tired. He slept until two o’clock in the afternoon.

He woke up refreshed, and his entire person felt lighter.

Grandma’s portrait board was placed on the coffee table. He only needed to glance at it once, and the tip of his nose turned sour.

But he wouldn’t cry again.

Wei Xiao walked over and touched the portrait. A gentle smile graced his mouth, “Thank you, grandma.”

His grandmother had loved him with everything she had when she was still alive.

His grandmother had gone to heaven, but she was still looking over him now.

Over the past two years, what had pressed down on Wei Xiao’s heart had been his self doubt and guilt that couldn’t be released.

He’d gone against his parents for so many years, not wanting to be a similarly selfish person, yet during the winter vacation when he was 17, he’d done the same thing as Wei Quan.

At the time of her death, his grandma’s words for him not to be like his father had been like a blade stabbing into Wei Xiao’s heart.

Don’t be the same as Wei Quan.

Don’t be like Wei Quan…

Wei Xiao had suddenly sobered up. He’d left his grandmother and spent all his time, day and night, chasing after an ethereal goal. What was the difference between Wei Quan and Wei Xiao?

He wanted to earn money by playing professionally, and he wanted to use this to allow his grandma to live a good life.

But deep down…

It was because he liked it.

He liked the feeling of the competition, liked the excitement of competing, the blood-boiling tension, and the moments where one gave their all for the victory.

He couldn’t ignore the desire in his heart and had ignored his grandmother.

What was the difference between him and Wei Quan!?

He hated Wei Quan, but just like Wei Quan, he’d made his grandmother miserable in the end.

At that moment, Wei Xiao had been thoroughly defeated by his own guilt and self-reproach.

Giving up his professional e-sports career had been Wei Xiao’s punishment to himself.

And last night…

Wei Xiao had read the diary his grandma had left for him, and the haze that had lingered in his heart for all this time finally dissipated.

It turned out that his grandma didn’t blame him.

It turned out that his grandma had supported him all along.

Supported him to do what he liked, supported him to live the life he wanted. Her only requirement was that she hoped that he could look at the scenery along the way, and not let it become an obsession that resulted in nothing but pain.

“Don’t be like your father, allowing your dream to become an abyss.”

This was what Grandma Wei had really wanted to say to Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao kissed the portrait and whispered, “Don’t worry. I will live very happily.”

He would live up to her expectations, live up to her life, and live up to the life she’d given him.

When Lu Feng came in, he saw Wei Xiao kissing the portrait.

The warm afternoon sun fell on the youth and outlined him in gold. He had dark, short hair, a clean face, and his closed eyes covered up the wanton recklessness they held, leaving only a touch of childishness.

19 years old.

It was an innocent and naive age, yet he’d already experienced the parting of life and death.

Lu Feng shifted his gaze and knocked at the door.

Wei Xiao looked up at him.

Seeing those bright and pure eyes that seemed to forever be full of vitality, Lu Feng’s chest grew a little hot.

This was a boy born in a quagmire of thorns, yet he simply couldn’t wait to light up the entire world with his own light.

––Really beautiful.

“I took a shower.” Wei Xiao plucked at his clothing, “I didn’t bring a change of clothing, so I just wore yours.”

He was a little shorter than Lu Feng, but this kind of t-shirt and pants were originally loose, so it wasn’t a problem when he wore them.

Lu Feng shifted his gaze away, “Wear it, then.”

Wei Xiao had been in a confused haze last night, and there were many things he hadn’t thought through. At this moment, he was completely awake and had a bunch of question marks in his mind.

“Captain!”

Although he hadn’t yet signed the contract, he’d been quick to change his mode of address, mainly because he was afraid that Lu Feng would go back on his word.

Lu Feng froze slightly, “Hm?”

The youth leaned over and looked at him with eager eyes, “Do you really want to sign me?”

Lu Feng handed him the milk in order to prevent him from getting so close.

Wei Xiao accepted the milk but didn’t concern himself with drinking it. He stared unblinkingly at Lu Feng.

Lu Feng looked down at the milk, “What, regretting it?”

Wei Xiao: “Me? I’m afraid that you’re regretting it!”

Lu Feng glanced at him, “Why?”

Wei Xiao drank a sip of the sweet milk, but it couldn’t stop the sourness in his words. “We’re short a top-laner in the team, right? Didn’t you have your eyes set on one a long time ago? If I sign now, am I joining as a substitute? I don’t mind being a substitute, but I think you should give me a chance to solo against him. How about whoever wins gets the top lane?”

Lu Feng: “……”

Seeing Lu Feng ‘hesitating’, Wei Xiao became even more sour, “I don’t care. You invited me last night, and I agreed. Even if there’s no black and white written words, you can’t go back on it!”

Lu Feng chuckled.

Wei Xiao was strangely nervous. It hadn’t been easy for him to untie the knot in his heart and play professionally, and he only wanted to join FTW. He didn’t want to go to any other team!

But, what would he do on the off-chance that Lu Feng didn’t want him?!

Not only was this guy the captain, he was also the head of the club. Every single word of his carried weight, right?!

Lu Feng set aside the smile on his face and looked at him carefully, “He’s excellent.”

Wei Xiao: “………”

Lu Feng continued, “He has a strong personal ability.”

This sounded familiar to Wei Xiao’s ears. It seemed that Lu Feng had said this when they were in the car.

Lu Feng: “He’s young and inexperienced, but his future is promising.”

Wei Xiao was about to die from sourness. F*ck, could it be that Close really didn’t want him?!

Lu Feng continued, “I value him very much, because he’s worth it.”

Wei Xiao: “………………”

It’s over. He was done for!

His career was over before it even started!

Lu Feng: “He’s worth inviting twice, worth waiting two years for, worth me trying my best to coax him into the base.”

Wei Xiao: “!”

Lu Feng looked at him and asked softly, “Do you know his name?”

Wei Xiao acted like a block of wood for two seconds before pointing at himself.

Lu Feng: “Mm.”

It was a single syllable, the one that the fans called a cold and indifferent monosyllable, yet it made Wei Xiao’s heart explode with joy when he heard it!

Wei Xiao: “So you mean that the one you had your eye on was me? The one you want is me? You said that I’m excellent and have a strong personal ability. Although I’m young and experienced, I have a promising future?”

Lu Feng: “……”

Wei Xiao was going crazy from joy. He continued to press, “Is it is it is it is it?”

Lu Feng smiled briefly, “Yes.”

Wei Xiao’s memory was much sharper than others at this moment. He followed up, “You think that I’ll be stronger than you in the future?”

Lu Feng went with it, “Yes.”

Wei Xiao’s heart exploded with delight, “To be honest…”

Lu Feng vaguely felt that his next sentence wouldn’t be anything good. Sure enough, Wei Xiao’s mouth was incurable, “My current mood, I’m even happier than if I got a love confession from my crush!”

Lu Feng couldn’t help it and flicked his forehead, “Enough.”

Wei Xiao was gushing, “I feel that I still need to work hard in order to surpass you. Why don’t we…”

Lu Feng: “Go downstairs. Eat.”

After saying so, he turned and went out.

Wei Xiao followed him, “Then after eating…”

Lu Feng walked ahead, “After eating, we’ll arrange the contract.”

Wei Xiao: “All it takes is a signature. It won’t take long.”

Lu Feng stopped to look at him, “You don’t want to know how much your signing fee is?”

Wei Xiaoxiao was focused on his plan, “How about this, if you solo with me for 12 hours a day, I won’t take any signing fee!”

Lu Feng had smiled more since seeing this brat than he had in the previous 21 years, “Wei Xiao.”

Wei Xiao stared unblinkingly at him, “Hm?”

Lu Feng: “You’re coming to FTW in order to be my teammate.”

Wei Xiao: “Yeah.”

Lu Feng: “Teammates fight side by side; they don’t solo day and night.”

Wei Xiao continued to strive for his goal, “Then we can fight together for 12 hours, then solo for 12 hours?”

Lu Feng: “So, I’m yours for 24 hours a day?”

Wei Xiao was stunned and actually became a little embarrassed, “…You see, aren’t I also giving you all 24 hours of my day?”

It was mutual!

Lu Feng was silent for three seconds before coldly refusing him, “No.”

Wei Xiao: “…Then, let’s discuss. How about two hours of free time a day?”

“You can solo with me if you want to.” The great demon king was worthy of his name and specialized in dealing with the little lunatic, “Three hours for every regular season game we win.”

Wei Xiao: “!”

Lu Feng continued, “If you win a playoff game, it’ll be 10 hours; winning the China championship, 100 hours.”

Wei Xiaoxiao was really engrossed in it, “Then what about the world championship!”

Lu Feng glanced at him, “However long you want.”

Wei Xiao: “!!!”

Lu Feng: “The time is up to you. I’ll accompany you at any time.”

Wei Xiao: “F*ck!”

In that case, what was he waiting for? He had to hurry up and train!

The other three starters of the FTW team, who’d just woken up from their slumber, still didn’t know what they were about to experience…

Oh, it wasn’t just the starters at FTW. Not even the China competition zone or Glory’s 16 competition zones realized that today was such an extraordinary day.

An inflammable and explosive hazardous object had been ignited by the great demon king himself on this day!

Although Wei Xiao didn’t care how much the signing fee was, Lu Feng definitely wouldn’t treat him badly.

It was actually reasonable to say that Wei Xiao, who’d left the circle for two years, had no real value.

However, compared with Yue Wenle’s signing fee, Lu Feng privately added another 10% for him and drew up the contract.

Even Wei Xiao, who didn’t care about how much it was, was shocked when he saw it.

Lu Feng: “This is the basic signing fee. Prize money won during the competitions is distributed to the players proportionally.”

The prize money in Glory events was surprisingly high. For example, the global finals were worth US $30 million, which was enough to make countless people go crazy.

Wei Xiao didn’t care much about these things. What he cared about was, “I think that… the contract has to be written in more detail.”

Lu Feng: “How so?”

He’d prepared the contract himself and hadn’t missed out any details.

Wei Xiao spoke seriously, “For example, you’ll accompany me for however long I want if we win the global finals. Shouldn’t that also be written into the contract?”

Inside the conference room, the FTW Club staff responsible for the contract signing broke the tip of his pen!
