Li Haoran exclaimed in denial, "There is no way he is just a mere rookie streamer!"
Ignoring his ADC's bewildered face, Zhao Fu thoughtfully tilted his head to look at Yang Yuxuan, "I understand why you mentioned him to Captain."
Yang Yuxuan casually took a small sip of his newly brewed tea. He slightly squinted his fox eyes in satisfaction, "Since when has my taste ever been bad?"
Eyes filled with grief, Li Haoran dramatically threw himself to Zhao Fu, "Old Gege! In fact, he is looking for a new ADC, right?!"
Yang Yuxuan coolly glanced at his ADC, "Tell me. Are you better than him?"
At this question, Li Haoran flinched. He uneasily shifted his eyes to look at his Support. Then with a mosquito voice, he probed, "... What will happen if I were to say I don't think so?"
Yang Yuxuan's eyes bent into two crescent moons, "I will disown you."
Li Haoran: "QAQ"
Zhao Fu helplessly patted their youngest's head, "Don't worry. We are looking for a new Dad for you not adopting another child."
Li Haoran tremblingly said, "Are you sure?"
Zhao Fu nodded his head to which Li Haoran was finally able to resurrect from the dead.
"His voice sounds young. Do you think he might be similar to my age?"
Listening on the sideline, Yang Yuxuan immediately shot down his opinion, "Unless he dropped out from his school otherwise, he could not stream like he usually did."
Making a small pause, he softly added, "I think he should be in his early twenties."
After all, Yang Yuxuan was the one to bring anchor Yueyue up so he did a bit of research.
Two years ago, an anchor named Yueyue suddenly popped out of nowhere. He got contracted with TY right away and even gained a tycoon as a loyal supporter.
Due to this tycoon's excessive gifts, Yueyue's name was gradually known and gained quite a considerable fan base due to his culinary skills and expensive-looking kitchen.
Judging by his elegant demeanor and mannerisms, Yang Yuxuan was confident that this anchor was a social elite.
Not to mention, his outfits albeit looked simple Yang Yuxuan discerned that they were all from Z Brand.
Toward this matter, he couldn't help but give a light sigh.
It was obvious that Yueyue was a rich young master from a prominent family which posed a bit of a problem.
Seeing his somewhat troubled expression, Li Haoran curiously asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Fu too joined in the fun, "Did he mention that he had no intention of going pro?"
Yang Yuxuan gave a slight shake of his head, "Based on the hours he spent streaming he definitely has a passion for the game. He may want to develop his career beyond a streamer. However, the only fly in the ointment is that... "
Glancing at his audience whose eyes filled with anticipation, Yang Yuxuan suddenly lowered his eyes and took another sip of his tea with a light smile hanging on his lips, "Guess it yourself."
Li Haoran: "..." I hate you!
Zhao Fu: "..." I should have known this ending.
Zhao Fu warily shook his head before shifting his attention back to his training.
Li Haoran's disbelief was understandable. Zhao Fu, himself also found it hard to believe that he was just a casual player who recently played TOBH one week ago.
If his words were true then calling him a genius might be an understatement.
He was more or less in the same category as their Captian, Silence.
Speaking of their Captain, Zhao Fe asked out loud, "Is Captain coming back today?"
The well-informed Yang Yuxuan lightly replied, "He will be back after attending the dinner event hosted by the president of Yujian Technology."
Hearing their 21-year-old Captain was currently mingling with those who were even older than his parents, Li Haoran couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "I wish I can grow to become a fine Alpha like him."
Yang Yuxuan grinned, "In your next life."
Li Haoran: "..." I want to report my support!
...
At 6:45 pm, Wei Chen arrived at the base. Since he had just attended a dinner party he was dressed in formal attire and had his bangs pushed back resulting in a mature and sexy charm as an adult Alpha.
Wei Chen briskly walked into the building while loosening his necktie. Changing out of his dressing shoes into male black slippers he made his way into the living room.
As he began to remove his cufflinks he wordlessly looked toward the dining room where his teammates were currently having their dinners.
Li Haoran whose mouth was still full of food was shocked to see their Captain unexpectedly come back at this time. As a result, he almost choked to death.
Zhao Fu kindly patted his back and hurriedly gave him a glass of water.
In the meantime, Yang Yuxuan quietly glanced at the clock on the wall with a slight raise of his eyebrows, "You're back quite early, Captain. Is there anything wrong?"
While taking off his jacket, Wei Chen didn't even pause in his steps as he briefly answered, "Nothing. I have another arrangement for tonight."
His words just fell and the tall figure could no longer be seen on the first floor.
Li Haoran craned his neck in the direction of the second floor. He puzzledly muttered under his breath, "He is in such a hurry. Is it an important meeting?"
Unconsciously turning to look at the smartest person here, Li Haoran immediately met the scene of his Support rhythmically knocking his right hand on the table as he stared in the direction that their Captain just disappeared.
Urgh, his face is saying that there is going to be a good show to watch soon!
Li Haoran slowly inched closer to Zhao Fu, "General Zhao, do you think Beauty Yang finally wants to climb onto His Majesty's bed?"
Right as his question fell, a loud thud abruptly sounded causing Li Haoran to jump in fright. Subconsciously looking toward the sound direction, he immediately met with a pair of smiling eyes.
"Do you want to enter the palace as a Eunuch?"
Li Haoran subconsciously closed his legs in an attempt to protect his family's treasure. Yang Yuxuan proceeded to ask in a gentle voice, "Have you finished your training for today?"
"... Not yet?" Li Haoran answered in a small voice.
Yang Yuxuan kindly smiled, "That's enough training for today."
Instead of becoming reassured Li Haoran knew there was a catch and his Support would never be this nice to him!
As expected, Yang Yuxuan suddenly dropped a bomb out of nowhere, "We are going to have a math surprise quiz. Finish your food and come to my room."
Li Haoran's mouth open agape at this sudden turn of events. He dazedly watched that slender figure walk away with a smile hovering on his enchanting face.
Li Haoran sadly collapsed onto the table, wanting to wail out loud.
Things started when he met his Support for the first time at the end of last year.
Li Haoran thought his Support looked so gentle and kind so he naively tried to get closer to this beautiful older brother.
Not long after, he found that his Captain and his Support had outstanding academic performance in every subject and they both entered A University that was extremely hard to get into.
Li Haoran was not good at math. He was still a high schooler so he was having trouble with his study while coping with his training.
He didn't dare to ask Silence God to be his teacher that's why he went to ask for help from his Support instead.
Fortunately, this older brother was a nice person and agreed to help him.
Little did he know that his name BlackLotus was not a joke.
This BlackLotus is much worse than all of his teachers combined! He ends up being more afraid of him than his actual teachers!
Nonetheless, it was undeniable that due to his teaching, his score improved tremendously and his classmates even asked for his private teacher's contact info.
To all of them, Li Haoran asked with a solemn face, "Are you a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Everyone shook their heads. They looked at him in bafflement.
One of them was unable to stand it and confusingly asked, "Why a Nascent Soul?"
With a deep look in his eyes, Li Haoran answered in a profound voice, "When in this stage, cultivators reform their collapsed core into a Nascent Soul. By undergoing this transformation, the cultivators have to pass a Heart Demon Tribulation that tests their mettle and resolves. Successfully pass this tribulation your life span will greatly increase so will your spiritual and physical strength. Even when your original physical body perishes, your soul can enter another suitable body to live again."
He then painfully closed his eyes which had obvious dark circles under them, trying his best to warn his compatriots, "Don't try to challenge him if you haven't entered this stage yet."
Everyone: "..." Mom, what in the world is his teacher exactly?
Done recalling his memories, Li Haoran pulled himself back up trying to finish his food.
"Right, Old Gege. Aren't you sad that Xieyu is going to leave shortly?"
Xieyu has been playing in Tianmeng since season 8 but their bot duo just joined this season so the two of them did not feel anything toward his departure.
Not to mention, Xieyu did not have a good opinion of his Support so while playing together Li Haoran had a headache as a rookie who just debuted this season.
On the other hand, Zhao Fu as Tianmeng's Top laner has been with the team since season 7 which was the longest. Therefore, Li Haoran was rather curious about how he felt when a long-time teammate was going to play for another team.
Zhao Fu, 24 years old was the oldest on the team so his mood did not fluctuate as much as Li Haoran thought.
After hearing his question, Zhao Fu took only a few moments to answer, "This is a reality of the e-sport industry. A teammate this season might be an enemy next season so there is nothing to feel reluctant about. You've just debuted so you would think the team will last forever but no."
Li Haoran might be a bit silly but he was quite observant. He keenly caught his sorrow when speaking the last sentence.
Pouring more tea into his cup, Li Haoran gave an exaggerated sigh. He proceeded to down the entire cup in one go, "But Old Gege... I don't want to face Captain and Lotus as my enemies."
Zhao Fu who was feeling a bit down abruptly woke up upon hearing those words. He shivered just at the thought of seeing those two as his opponents.
Having his mood reverted to normal, he wisely said, "Don't provoke Lotus! Remember to hold tightly onto the Captain's thigh! Things won't go wrong!"
Even without him mentioning it, Li Haoran had long engraved those words in his heart.
He had firsthand experience with that BlackLotus and knew not to provoke him carelessly. As for his Captain...
There is a saying in the community.
Don't provoke Silence in case you get silenced!
Not knowing his teammates were talking about him, after arriving in his room Wei Chen took a quick shower to get rid of various pheromones that clung to him.
After putting on his pajamas, he finally logged into the game.
Wei Chen had the game open on his PC and at the same time, he opened his laptop to wait for anchor Yueyue to start his stream.
Seeing that there were still 5 minutes left, Wei Chen started to blow his hair with a hair dryer.
Just as his hair was semi-dry, an invite asking to form a party suddenly popped up on the screen.
Seeing that it was from the person with whom he had an arrangement Wei Chen stopped what he was doing.
He accepted the invite and immediately joined the other person's party.
[No Inted Just Bad: Just arrive home?]
[Number 009: En.]
[No Inted Just Bad: How many games are we going to play?]
[Number 009: Three.]
[Number 009: I still have some work left to do.]
[No Inted Just Bad: OK let's hope that we can at least win once among them :0]
[Number 009: Not confident?]
Wei Chen was simply asking casually and had no intention of receiving a serious answer. However, the other side seemed to take this question seriously for his reply to arrive later than usual.
[No Inted Just Bad: No matter what]
[No Inted Just Bad: I will carry you in my pocket :)]
Wei Chen's eyelashes slightly quivered the moment he saw the last sentence.
