Ch61 - I super like you!

Edited by kat

Because of Chen Wei’s mistake, on the fourth day CLM got the lowest score of all squad matches in history, and surprised everyone so much that all their glasses broke.

Whether it was the audience, casters, or the stream followers watching the livestream, they were all either shocked or were badmouthing CLM.

However, at this point, no one in CLM cared about the issue of their points. They didn’t even wait for the final results of the squad match to come out before leaving the competition site and sending Chen Wei to the hospital.

In the taxi on the way to the hospital, Chen Wei kept emphasizing, “I’m fine, just a little itchy… My mistake has nothing to do with it. I accidentally pressed F, I’m sorry.”

“Alright, talk less ba.” Chen Xiao frowned at him and said, “Your health is the most important thing. We want to win the championship, yes, but although we can sacrifice a lot for that, we can’t sacrifice our lives.”

Liu Weizhe then said, “It’s fine, we’ll be stable as long as we can get into the top 20 in the regular season. You take good care of yourself and play well during the playoffs.”

Chen Wei opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say. He could only let out an obedient “en” sound.

He was sitting in the back seat of the taxi, sandwiched between Chen Xiao and Liu Weizhe. He felt an infinite sense of security, but that also made him feel more and more guilty.

He hoped to get better soon and help out the team.

He prayed silently for himself in his heart.

The three of them were in one car, and they were followed by another car not far away that was carrying Mo Chen, Wen Xi, and Ling Shuyi.

“What’s wrong with Chen Wei?” Wen Xi asked anxiously.

“It looks like a drug allergy,” Mo Chen responded.

“Is it serious?” Ling Shuyi, sitting in the front seat, gave a rare frown.

“I don’t know,” Mo Chen replied again, “It doesn’t look serious, but it’s also possible for it to be fatal.”

“Fatal?!” Ling Shuyi exclaimed in shock, “Really? You’re not just trying to scare me?”

“Why would I do that?” Mo Chen faintly glanced at him, but after a moment of silence, he still tried to comfort him, “He took those drugs for two days, and he didn’t immediately have an allergic reaction, so the possibility of it being fatal isn’t large.”

“Then that’s okay…” Ling Shuyi said, but the expression on his face didn’t relax at all.

Wen Xi sighed and said, “When we get to the hospital, they should know.”

Mo Chen let out an “en” and didn’t say anything else.

Soon, the party arrived at the hospital.

Liu Weizhe accompanied Chen Wei inside to get a diagnosis, and the result of the diagnoses was—it was indeed a drug-induced allergy, and there were indeed symptoms of a cold.

The doctor gave Chen Wei a box of allergy medicine, and then prescribed some cold medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs.

It seemed that there was no need for hospitalization, and on the whole, it was a false alarm.

However, the smallest sickness was still a sickness

After the painful experience of the entire team turning into lootboxes upon landing, no one wanted to let Chen Wei play while sick, including Chen Wei himself.

When they returned to the hotel, they immediately urged Chen Wei to take a bath and go to bed early.

“You just stay in the hotel and have a rest. The rookie will be here soon. If the rookie isn’t good, then there’s still the secondary team members. In short, you don’t have to worry about tomorrow’s game,” Liu Weizhe said to Chen Wei.

Chen Wei nodded.

Liu Weizhe’s voice was quiet and persuasive, which unconsciously set his heart at ease, as if he didn’t have to worry about anything.

However, after he settled down in his room and everyone else hid in the coach’s room to have a meeting, the atmosphere was obviously tense.

“I’ll speak honestly,” Liu Weizhe said, “The potential of the newbie who’s about to arrive really is good, but he has had too little game experience. He can take first place in match after match of rookie games, but it would still be a bit difficult to play directly against professionals.”

Wen Xi let out an “en”, thinking similarly.

He was able to break into the top 20 of the overseas servers, but when he joined CLM, he still couldn’t quite cope with fighting against the professional teams during his first training match.

If it wasn’t for Mo Chen’s protection, he didn’t know how many times he would have died.

“So, we have to try our best to sign him, but don’t expect him to play a big role in the competition. The regular season’s points will still depend on the few people we have right now,” Liu Weizhe said, “I don’t know much about the competition. I can only understand the statistics, but I think it’s necessary to tell you the worst case scenario.”

“En, we understand,” Chen Xiao responded, “Even if the rookie is very strong, he hasn’t trained with us and been broken in, so there definitely will be problems during the actual competition. We must mentally prepare ourselves for that.”

“So when will the newbie come?” Ling Shuyi already couldn’t wait.

“We agreed on three o’clock in the afternoon.” Liu Weizhe frowned. He didn’t like to repeat himself, but due to the current situation, he couldn’t care so much about it. “Do you guys need to discuss who will come out to test him out?”

Hearing this, Chen Xiao immediately turned his gaze to Ling Shuyi, and Mo Chen also went along with him to look over at him.

Wen Xi saw that they were all looking at Ling Shuyi, so he also turned his gaze on him.

Ling Shuyi, with thousands of gazes pinned to his body: ….

“Alright ba, if it’s me, it’s me bei. I was also the one to test Wen Xi when he came.” Ling Shuyi jutted out his lower lip.

He knew the level of his own strength. With the dog Chen Wei out of commission, only he could go up to test a newbie. If Mo Chen or Wen Xi went up, they would completely curbstomp him.

It wasn’t 3 o’clock yet, but with nothing left to discuss, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Liu Weizhe hesitated for a moment, a little worried about Chen Wei’s situation, and tentatively crept into his room.

He confirmed that he was asleep, and moved to leave. His hand had just grabbed the door handle when Chen Wei called out, “Is something wrong?”

He had already taken the medicine, so his body couldn’t be said to be doing well or poorly.

“You’re not asleep?” Liu Weizhe had intended to open the door and leave, but he closed the door when he heard Chen Wei’s voice.

“En, I’m not very sleepy” Chen Wei replied.

Liu Weizhe said, “Have a good rest, I’m going.”

Chen Wei said, “Don’t ah… Chat with me for a bit?”

“Don’t talk if you have a sore throat,” Liu Weizhe said, but he didn’t open the door, instead pulling up a chair to sit down beside Chen Wei’s bed, appearing ready to chat with him.

Chen Wei helplessly smiled. This manager was hard spoken but soft hearted.

“My throat already doesn’t hurt much anymore,” he said.

When he got up this morning, his throat didn’t hurt very much, which showed that the medicine Liu Weizhe had bought was effective.

But who would have thought that he was allergic to an ingredient in one of the drugs?

His cold also didn’t seem that serious. Besides his sore throat the first day and a runny nose that started that afternoon, and hadn’t stopped running even now, he hadn’t coughed all that much.

If he was an ordinary office worker, he could already go to work in such a state.

However, he was an e-sports player. His physical discomfort had a large influence on his state, which had been beyond everyone’s expectations.

“So, what are we talking about?” Liu Weizhe’s voice was a little cold. He completely had an, “I have nothing to talk about with you” attitude, but he still sat by Chen Wei’s bed, which showed that he was willing to chat with him.

Chen Wei was a little happy and took the opportunity to ask the question that he had always wanted to ask, but had never dared to ask, “Why were you willing to become our manager ah?”

He obviously didn’t have any interest in the game. In the beginning, he just completed whatever Mo Chen told him to do, not caring or asking about any other matters.

“I’m short on money,” Liu Weizhe blurted out.

Chen Wei was blocked by these words.

This was indeed a reason…but Chen Wei always felt that this wasn’t the real reason.

“Do you…” He hesitated for a moment, before finally summoning up the courage to ask, “Do you like my Ge?”

Hearing this question, Liu Weizhe was clearly stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth, but didn’t say anything.

“Sure enough.”

There was no need for him to admit it, Chen Wei had already gotten an answer from his reaction. “So that’s why when my Ge asked you to be the manager, you agreed without even thinking about it.”

Liu Weizhe was silent for a moment before saying calmly, “After all, we were roommates, and he helped me a lot, so I couldn’t be heartless.” He paused for a bit, before continuing, “And I did need a part-time job to maintain my studies.”

It was already so obvious, yet he still stubbornly didn’t want to admit it…

However, since he didn’t want to admit it, it wouldn’t be good for Chen Wei to push any further.

He decided to talk about something else.

However, before he could think of what to talk about, Liu Weizhe spoke again, “You don’t have to worry about me pestering your Ge. I know he likes women.”

Chen Wei froze for a moment, giving him a surprised look.

How could he stubbornly refuse to admit it one minute, and then say it so readily the next minute?

Liu Weizhe thought that Chen Wei had been sounding him out and trying to confirm his feelings for Chen Xiao. He didn’t want him to interfere with Chen Xiao’s life, so he thought it was necessary for him to explain clearly, “Even if I wear women’s clothes and have long hair, and even if everyone initially thinks I’m a woman, your Ge has always regarded me as a bro, so there’s nothing I can do,” he said, “Don’t worry, I have my dignity. I won’t cling to someone I can’t get. It’s not because of him that I’m still in CLM.”

Chen Wei suddenly saw the light.

That was why when Liu Weizhe looked at Chen Xiao with a smile, his smile was often always fleeting, with an expression of self-restraint.

However, at the same time, after listening to Liu Weizhe’s words, Chen Wei finally realized that the other party might have misunderstood something.

He had asked these questions out of curiosity and didn’t intend to interfere ah.

Chen Wei showed a somewhat helpless expression, but ultimately didn’t explain anything and just let out an “en”, before adding in a low voice, “I don’t actually care whether you are a man or a woman…”

Liu Weizhe asked, “What?”

Chen Wei replied, “….Nothing.”

Close to 3 p.m., Liu Weizhe received a call from Jiang Xinyi that he had already arrived nearby.

Therefore, Liu Weizhe took their group of people to the nearby Internet cafe.

They ordered a small private room. Perfect for them, there were just two computers inside, and a row of sofas near the wall to sit on. The environment was pretty good.

“Where’s the newbie?”

After entering the private room, Ling Shuyi looked around, impatient to see what the newbie looked like.

“I’ll call again,” Liu Weizhe said, finding Jiang Xinyi’s number in his contacts and dialing it.

As soon as he called the number, he heard a cellphone ring.

Liu Weizhe followed the direction of the sound and immediately saw a tall and thin boy with a black backpack on one shoulder. He took out his cellphone from his pocket and answered, “Hello?”

Liu Weizhe said, “Look at your 7 o’clock.”

Jiang Xinyi obediently turned around and noticed Liu Weizhe in a black dress.

He was a little surprised, but after meeting Liu Weizhe’s gaze, he was sure that they were the person currently calling him .

Therefore, he hung up the phone and rushed over to Liu Weizhe. He looked down at him and asked, “Eh? Are you Lina? Your voice sounded a little low, but you’re actually really good-looking! You’re much younger than I thought. Are you not also a high school student like me ba?”

“That doesn’t matter,” Liu Weizhe interrupted him lightly, moving to the side to let him in and beckoning to him. “The person you want to see is inside.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xinyi immediately turned his attention to the private room. He immediately recognized his Wen Xi he had longed for, and rushed into the room and hugged him, exclaiming, “Wen Xi! Ahhhhhhhh, it’s the real person! Sign an autograph for me ba! I super like you!”

Wen Xi was caught off guard and looked completely confused.

Liu Weizhe raised his hand to cover his eyes.

After being in a stupor for a bit, Mo Chen coldly looked at Jiang Xinyi—Was he looking for death?

—

Juurensha: Ohhhh Jiang Xinyi, you’re in danger….. Also, looks like even if Chen Xiao is straight, Chen Wei is bi, so maybe love will blossom for our lovely tsundere manager??

kat: did the author need to introduce this dog blood “i like you, but you like my brother” plot to balance MoXi’s sweetness haha
