FOG [e-sports] Chapter 83

Chapter 83
Shi Luo still felt that something was wrong with Yu Sui. He was fine before going to bed but when he woke up, he suddenly became like this. What was going on?
“Why did you suddenly think of this…” Shi Luo’s voice was a little hoarse from just waking up, “Just what is the matter?”
Shi Luo was naturally perceptive. From the moment they first met, he could capture any emotional changes in Yu Sui. Shi Luo’s brows furrowed. “Did something happen?”
Shi Luo couldn’t help but be suspicious. He had experienced enough of Yu Sui’s ever-changeable rotten luck. Whenever Yu Sui displayed the slightest bit of strangeness, his first thought would be that something bad had happened.
The sleepiness in Shi Luo’s eyes was completely swept away. He leaned back. His eyes were a little more wary. “Do you know…when was the last time you were suddenly so gentle to me?”
Yu Sui’s heart was disturbed by that piece of audio just now. Now he just wants to be affectionate to Shi Luo. He kissed Shi Luo on the forehead and asked happily, “When?”
Shi Luo whispered, “When you wanted to send me to NSN…”
Yu Sui was stabbed again.
Shi Luo touched his forehead, feeling that this was not a good sign. Shi Luo continued, “Do you know when was the only time my mother kissed my forehead?”
“It was the day before she left me at my father’s house.”
Yu Sui took a deep breath. Shi Luo was about to pierce through his heart.
His inherent insecurity made it difficult for Shi Luo to accept any affection that exceeded his expectations. Shi Luo sat on the bed with a terrible expression and asked indignantly, “I still believe up until now that this forehead of mine is exceptionally unlucky. Why’d you suddenly kiss me?!”
Yu Sui paused. Shi Luo drove him mad but he wanted to laugh at the same time.
Before Shi Luo could speak again, Yu Sui embraced Shi Luo and kissed him on the forehead and kissed him again.
Shi Luo wanted to block Yu Sui. After trying to push him off twice, he unexpectedly found that he couldn’t push Yu Sui at all.
Yu Sui’s stomach wasn’t very good and he was a little thinner, but the 21-year-old man was at peak state in all aspects. When it came to strength, Shi Luo was no match for Yu Sui.
Yu Sui pushed Shi Luo back on the bed and kissed Shi Luo’s forehead again and again. He didn’t stop until Shi Luo behaved himself and stopped pushing back.
Yu Sui lowered his eyes to look at Shi Luo, and said in a low voice, “Are you still going to struggle?”
Yu Sui’s breath brushed against the side of Shi Luo’s neck, instantly making it turn red.
Memories from two years ago surfaced once again.
When Shi Luo first entered FS, he inexplicably always got into spats with Chen Huo.
There was no causes, no reasons for it. It was like the two of them realized that they would both share the same in-game job in the future. Their attitude towards each other was exclusionary and they found each other not to their tastes. They didn’t need for there to be any actual conflict. As soon as they laid eyes on each other, a quarrel would break out.
Once, Shi Luo couldn’t remember why, he’d been quarreling with Chen Huo. After half an hour of exchanging absolutely biting sarcasm, the two finally changed from verbal fighting to physical fighting. With Puppy as witness, they decided to an arm-wrestling match to settle, once and for all, who was the weak chicken.
Back then, Shi Luo had exerted all his strength but he still hadn’t been able to beat Chen Huo.
He’d fallen short by just a little bit, that’s all.
Seventeen-year-old Shi Luo’s pride was as vast as the sky. After losing to and being taunted by Chen Huo, he was so angry, he was ready to give off steam. When Puppy, that a*s, saw that Shi Luo hadn’t won against Chen Huo, he instantly started teasing Shi Luo as well. He too played a round against Shi Luo. Shi Luo had just expended all his energy on his match against Chen Huo. His whole arm was sore. Puppy won without much effort.
Chen Huo and Puppy laughed together, whistling and joking that Shi Luo was an underage little whelp. Shi Luo was so angry that he lost his appetite and didn’t feel like eating dinner. His face turned black and he was ready to bite anyone he saw.
After watching the whole thing, Yu Sui ended his solo match and suddenly said that he also wanted to play a round against Shi Luo.
Chen Huo and Puppy instantly laughed even harder.
Shi Luo already felt disgraced. He was so annoyed that he didn’t want to lose again. But after some painless instigation from Yu Sui, he felt that he felt that not daring to take up the challenge would be even more disgraceful and he reluctantly agreed.
But Shi Luo was furious at the time.
Chen Huo quarreled with him and not only did Yu Sui not help him, he also joined them in making fun of him.
What did they mean by taking turns against him? Were they bullying their own?
They were teammate who’ve been in the same team for many years. He was a new substitute, an outsider.
At the time, Shi Luo still hadn’t been warmed up by Yu Sui. He was covered in thorns and was terribly sensitive and withdrawn. For a while, he felt cold; he felt that Yu Sui didn’t care about him at all.
Expression cold, Shi Luo went to arm wrestle against Yu Sui. Yu Sui was full of energy at first, but after a while he couldn’t hold on. Shi Luo unexpectedly won against Yu Sui.
Chen Huo and Puppy were well-versed in the sprayers’ ‘boast if you win, spray if you lose’ rule and immediately gave up teasing Shi Luo, turning instead to taunt Yu Sui. They changed targets faster than flipping the page of a book.
Yu Sui didn’t care though. He rubbed his palms and admitted that he had no strength. Puppy even posted something on Weibo to mock Yu Sui.
Shi Luo, who’d been dragged into Chen Huo and Puppy’s comic routine, hadn’t noticed anything wrong.
From then on, he silently accepted it as fact that Yu Sui wasn’t as strong as himself. That was until just now.
Shi Luo wasn’t able to move Yu Sui by even a fraction.
He was absolutely no match against Yu Sui.
Shi Luo heard Yu Sui whispered in his ear: “Luo Luo, do you now know that I just let you win before?”
Shi Luo’s eyes trembled slightly. His arm instantly lost all strength and Yu Sui kissed him again on his forehead.
No one could resist this kind of gentleness. Shi Luo put down his guard a little, but still couldn’t help muttering, “Is there really nothing the matter?”
Shi Luo heard Yu Sui say helplessly, “What could possibly be the matter?”
Shi Luo paused and frowned slightly. “Maybe something happened to the club and you’re selling me again? Your teams always run into trouble…”
“There’s nothing. I just…”
The rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier. Dark clouds blotted out the sun. Inside the room it was like the middle of the night without the lights on. Shi Luo couldn’t see Yu Sui’s expression. He just listened to Yu Sui whispering in his ear, “I just miss you. I want to spend more time together with you…”
“The more I like you, the more distressed I feel… I don’t know how to treat you better.”
Incidentally, Shi Luo instantly understood Yu Sui’s eagerness and kindly intentions.
The more I like you, the more distressed I feel.
Shi Luo pursed his lips, and said hoarsely, “Me too. When I felt it turn cold in the early morning, I couldn’t sleep at all… I was afraid that your stomach would act up again and feel so distressed for you… Um.”
Shi Luo hadn’t finish speaking, but Yu Sui already kissed him on his lips.
Shi Luo didn’t try to avoid him anymore and raised his chin slightly.
After a while, Shi Luo’s cheeks flushed redder and redder. He bent his legs slightly, and moved back out of embarrassment.
Shi Luo thought that his movements seemed very natural. He felt that Yu Sui might not necessarily be able to find out anything.
Shi Luo cautiously and carefully leaned slightly aside. Before he could spend too much effort in trying to hide it, he heard Yu Sui laugh in a low voice.
Shi Luo froze.
Yu Sui kissed Shi Luo’s ear. “I felt it early on early…Don’t move. Your 1 million a night bid includes after service.”
Shi Luo’s eyes widened suddenly and then he gritted his teeth.
The rain outside the window was getting even heavier. After half an hour, Shi Luo went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Shi Luo lowered the temperature of the water but even after a while, his neck and chest were still red.
Yu Sui was gentle on the surface but when he was being really intimate, he could be vicious and merciless. He couldn’t be smoother playing his slag man routines. Shi Luo couldn’t stand it at all. He was eaten to within an inch of his life. At the moment, his waist still felt weak.
Shi Luo didn’t dare think what would happen when the two of them went all the way.
Shi Luo’s breathing was still a bit unnatural. He washed his hair and murmured, “I can’t let him toy with me to death…”
There was suddenly a knock on the bathroom door. Shi Luo hurriedly turned off the shower and Yu Sui, outside the bathroom, asked, “I’ll order some takeaway. What would you like to eat?”
Shi Luo’s mind was filled with thoughts of Yu Sui. He couldn’t think of what to eat. He hesitated and then said, “I’ll have whatever you’re having… Just not rice porridge.”
Yu Sui gave a sound of assent and didn’t any more questions. He should be ordering.
Shi Luo finished showering. He got dressed and went out of the bathroom. He saw that his dirtied sheets had been thrown to the side and on his bed was a new one. The sheets were even folded and flattened.
If Shi Luo remembered correctly, Yu Sui’s room has always been specially cleaned by the Cleaning Aunt. He’d even been ridiculed by the Cleaning Aunt for it before. Such a big man doesn’t even know how to put on his own sheets.
Shi Luo looked at Yu Sui, who was standing by the window, calling the deliveryman to tell him the house number. He then looked at his new pressed sheets… It seemed that a certain medic was actually capable of doing it, but he was used to being a young master and never does any housework.
But he did do it for him.
Yu Sui hung up the phone. He turned his head and saw Shi Luo looking back at him. He immediately understood and smiled. He put in order the low cabinet that had gotten messed up when he took out the new sheets and closed it. “I don’t bother cleaning up my own dorm…But yours is different.”
“The takeaway is here, I’ll go get it.” Yu Sui asked Shi Luo, “Should we eat it in your room?”
With no training in the afternoon, Shi Luo was naturally willing to spend his time together with Yu Sui. He nodded.
Yu Sui went out to pick up the takeaway. Shi Luo wiped his hair and walked beside the bed to find that Yu Sui had picked up the jacket he had just dropped under the bed. He had folded it neatly and placed it on his bedside.
All these were things so small, they couldn’t be any smaller, but stacked up all together, it made Shi Luo’s heart swell almost to the point of bursting.
Only he knew how the strong and indifferent Whisper, ever-victorious on the field, could be so gentle and meticulous in private.
Shi Luo’s heart felt warm and full. He wanted to find someone to show off to.
But there was no one he could tell it to.
He couldn’t publicly disclose it to everyone, nor could he tell it to his few friends on other teams. Among the people in his team who was in the know…
Shi Luo couldn’t discuss their private matters with Zhou Huo or Puppy.
Too embarrassing, too sappy, too crazy.
But Shi Luo still wanted to say something.
Shi Luo opened his Weibo, glanced at his main account with his 2 million fans, hesitated for a tenth of a second, and resignedly switched to a side account.
Shi Luo had originally opened this Weibo side account to get into spraying matches with the haters. After coming to Free, it was mostly left idle. The few times he had logged onto it was when he had no choice but to use a side account to pour out his desires or say things that were too intense and too embarrassing.
The last post had been made half a month ago. It was so sappy, Shi Luo himself couldn’t look at it.
[You are so good to me, so good that you can smooth out all my mental struggles. Yu Sui. 】
The one before that was even sappier. Shi Luo began to wonder if he’d had too much to drink when they’d gone out to eat at a restaurant after their match that day.
[In the future, when you get old and your memory begins to falter, if the past begins to turn fuzzy, you must re-read this post and remember that the person you like the most is Yu Sui. Yu Sui is the only person you have ever liked. Yu Sui is the one who has treated you the best. Every time, it has been Yu Sui who has given you hope. Yu Sui was the one who pulled you out of the abyss. …You could forget everything except him, only he must never be forgotten. 】
Moving up to the one before that, Shi Luo remembered clearly that it was the day when he and Yu Sui confirmed their relationship.
[ Today, Yu Sui and I got together. 】
When his feelings got intense, all sorts of sappiness could be pulled out from him. When he looks back at them at a later time, he feels like his teeth are about to fall out. Shi Luo would be absolutely too embarrassed to say these things directly but he could do it through an anonymous side account.
Shi Luo pondered. He was hesitating whether he should write about today, whether he would be banned after writing all of it, when he unexpectedly discovered that his rubbish account had many comments on it.
This account only had 56 followers, fifty of which were probably just bots. So, where did these comments come from?
Shi Luo’s heart stirred. Could it be—?
Has Yu Sui discovered his side account?
Shi Luo flushed, embarrassed and feeling ill at ease. He stood up and walked back and forth around the room a couple of times. After a moment’s hesitation, he steeled his resolve and opened the comments with a hint of anticipation.
There were a lot of comments, Shi Luo looked through them, top to bottom. The blush on his face disappeared little by little and gradually became a look of indifference.
Shi Luo underestimated the popularity of his team and also underestimated the magical nature of Yu Sui’s fans, and directly mentioned Yu Sui’s name in his side account, which naturally meant that he couldn’t hide it from the fans’ eyes.
[We’ve got another crazy one. ]
[“Yu Sui and I got together.” Excuse me, how much have you had to drink to put up this kind of post? ]
[Look, we’ve got a mythomaniac fan here.]
[I’ve just got to say, our team has a lot of pervert fans. Especially Whisper. ]
[…Please return the blue sea and blue sky of e-sports. Please. ]
[I am truly worried about your mental state. ]
[Maybe you should see a therapist? Us fans will raise the fund for you.]
