Jiang Xinyi was totally unaware of Mo Chen’s deathglare.
After hugging Wen Xi, he immediately took out a small notebook and a pen from his school bag and exclaimed, “Sign here ba! Just right here!”
Wen Xi took the pen from him and looked at the blank book, his mind also completely blank.
No one had ever asked him for an autograph before, and he had never practiced his signature.
His signature was just a series of neat strokes, so he didn’t think it would look good when signed in someone’s book?
Before he could think through this problem, Jiang Xinyi had already been grabbed and pulled back by Mo Chen.
Then, Mo Chen bluntly said four words, “Login to the game.”
Jiang Xinyi was reluctant to part from Wen Xi and had only looked at him for a while, so it was only now that he noticed Mo Chen. After meeting his gaze for a bit, he suddenly laughed. “You’re Mo Chen ba? I also really like you!”
Mo Chen raised an eyebrow.
Not waiting for him to react, Jiang Xinyi turned around and sat down in front of the computer, before clicking to open the game and inputting his account password.
During this process, Mo Chen took the book and pen from Wen Xi’s hand and threw it aside, and then exchanged a look with Liu Weizhe.
Just a few seconds of contact was enough for them to already know Jiang Xinyi’s character. It could probably be summed up in one phrase: I do things my own way.
Such people were not easy to manage.
However, as long as he truly had the ability, his personality was secondary.
Jiang Xinyi logged into the game, and soon after, Ling Shuyi also logged in.
The two people added each other as friends, and without exchanging too many words, they entered the contest map.
Mo Chen and Wen Xi stood behind Jiang Xinyi to watch him play, while Liu Weizhe sat to the side of the room on the sofa.
He logged in to Weibo on his cellphone and checked the SGH League official account—the entire team turning into a lootbox upon landing in the squad match indeed had a large impact. After yesterday’s game, CLM’s points had fallen to second place. YEY was in first place, and MQ was in third place.
Liu Weizhe frowned slightly, before quitting Weibo and pressing a button to darken the screen of his cellphone. He then cast a curious gaze towards Mo Chen and Wen Xi.
He didn’t understand the game, but he could understand Mo Chen and Wen Xi’s expressions, and could judge Jiang Xinyi’s strength based on their expressions.
During the first five minutes, no matter if it was Mo Chen or Wen Xi, neither of their expressions changed.
Mo Chen’s gaze looked more as if he was inspecting him, while Wen Xi’s eyes looked like he was anticipating something.
In the sixth minute, he didn’t know what Jiang Xinyi did, but a little surprise flashed through Mo Chen’s eyes. Wen Xi’s reaction was more intuitive, and he directly tilted his head and looked a little cute.
On the contrary, Ling Shuyi looked both astonished and pleasantly surprised, and appeared as though he was on the verge of saying—Heh, little boy, you’re not bad ma!
At that moment, Ling Shuyi had spotted Jiang Xinyi through his sniper rifle. However, before he could shoot, he saw him shoot an arrow into the air.
Out of fear of bows and arrows, he instinctively stored his gun and dodged. Yet as a result, the arrow never arrived, and he lost Jiang Xinyi’s position.
Before he could aim at the other party again, Jiang Xinyi had already changed to his sniper rifle and shot his helmet off with one shot.
It turned out that the arrow shot by the other side was just a cover. He had been played by him like a bird startled at the sight of a bow, and by the time he figured out what was happening, his opponent was driving the pace of this match.
Okay ah, so you dare to fool me. I’ll let you know who’s really the daddy later—This was Ling Shuyi’s initial reaction after being tricked.
At the same time, two words flashed through Mo Chen and Wen Xi’s minds: very smart.
If it wasn’t for that arrow, Ling Shuyi might have already shot and knocked him down.
If it wasn’t for that arrow, he definitely couldn’t have gone from passive to aggressive, managing to fire off a shot before Ling Shuyi.
However, this tactic would only work for certain people.
Only those who had experienced how terrifying Wen Xi’s bow was would react to his arrow.
He knew how to analyze the opponent’s mental state and use a suitable method of the situation in order to control the other party, create and grasp an opportunity, and then give them a fatal blow.
——No matter how Jiang Xinyi’s skills were, just by relying on this tactical thinking alone, he had enough value to join CLM.
Mo Chen and Wen Xi kept watching quietly, and no one commented.
They could see Jiang Xinyi switching frequently to different weapons as he played a variety of roles. However, his main role was hiding and concealing himself everywhere, feinting in one direction before attacking in the next. Like this, he survived for more than ten minutes under Ling Shuyi’s fierce attack.
Finally, in the 18th minute, he successfully pushed Ling Shuyi into a dead end, and they got into a head-to-head gunfight. Ling Shuyi was blown up, but not before counter-attacking and killing him off as well.
The final result was that Ling Shuyi won, but the whole process of the two people’s exchange was undoubtedly wonderful.
“Aiya, I failed.” Jiang Xinyi sighed regretfully, but there wasn’t a hint of disappointment in his expression.
Obviously, he was very clear where his advantages lay, and was clear on the fact that even if he lost to Ling Shuyi, CLM wouldn’t give up on him just like that—if they really understood his playing method.
He took off his headphones and looked back at the two people behind him, asking, “How did I play?”
He had a confident and questioning tone, almost as if saying—I played pretty well ba, quickly praise me!
Wen Xi couldn’t help but laugh. “Fierce.”
It was always a happy thing to be praised, and what’s more, the one who praised him was his favorite idol. Jiang Xinyi immediately laughed, “Hehe, fierce ba! Do you want to duo with me? With your strength and my command, it would be hard not to get first place!”
“Inflating yourself,” Liu Weizhe said coolly.
“Overconfident,” Ling Shuyi immediately added.
Mo Chen thought for a while, then calmly opened his mouth and said, “You used so many tactics, but you couldn’t even kill that cat, so I can imagine how bad your maneuvers are.”
Jiang Xinyi: “….”
“However, maneuvers can be practiced.” Mo Chen then said, “I need your command ability right now. Manager, give him the contract.”
Liu Weizhe immediately stood up from the sofa and handed a folder containing the contract to Jiang Xinyi, before saying, “Our CLM’s contract doesn’t distinguish between regular players and substitutes. Although you are a substitute, you will enjoy the treatment of a formal teammate.”
“None of that matters la.” Jiang Xinyi took the contract. However, although he said it didn’t matter, he still opened it and looked over it while saying, “When can I play duo with Wen Xi?”
“As long as it’s not during the competition, then you can make whatever plans you want, as long as Wen Xi agrees,” Liu Weizhe replied, “But on the competition field, you have to listen to the captain.”
“Shouldn’t you listen to the coach?” Jiang Xinyi casually responded, and the next second he thought of the answer. “Oh, do all of you in CLM have to listen to the captain?”
Liu Weizhe was stunned for a moment before looking at Mo Chen.
Mo Chen looked at Jiang Xinyi and calmly said, “And what of it?”
“No, I was just curious,” Jiang Xinyi said. He picked up the pen that Mo Chen had thrown away from the sofa and twirled it flexibly in his hand twice, before continuing, “I read the contract, and you were so nice, it left me disturbed. No wonder you couldn’t keep Lan Yan.”
Ling Shuyi heard Lan Yan’s name and exploded on the spot. “What do you mean by that?”
Was he stirring up trouble?
Liu Weizhe pressed his shoulder down in time and looked at Jiang Xinyi. “If you want to sign such a despotic contract, then I can also satisfy you. After all, we are so nice.”
When he spoke, his tone was much better than Ling Shuyi’s, but his lethality wasn’t weak at all.
He even added, “I’ve never heard such a strange request before.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xinyi laughed with a “pfft” sound, and then without waiting for the people present to react, he simply signed his name on the contract.
When he handed over one copy of the contract to Liu Weizhe, a glimmer of appreciation flashed in his eyes. “In the future, please give me more advice, little Jiejie Lina~”
Liu Weizhe let out an “en” and took the contract, and then said lightly, “Seeing that you signed your name so straightforwardly, I’ll tell you a secret.”
“En?” Jiang Xinyi looked at him expectantly. “What secret?”
“I’m a man,” Liu Weizhe blurted out.
Jiang Xinyi: ….
A beautiful woman with long hair told him that he was a man.
Jiang Xinyi’s first reaction was to think that Liu Weizhe was joking. However, seeing that Mo Chen and the others weren’t laughing, he soon realized that the other party was serious.
“Wtf!” Jiang Xinyi, who had finally reacted, was shocked. “You….wtf?!”
He was so shocked that he couldn’t say anything besides, “wtf.”
Liu Weizhe’s lips rose, and he turned around with the contract. He blinked at Mo Chen—His appraisal was complete: Jiang Xinyi was a straight man.
Mo Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He didn’t actually care that much about that matter, okay…
Fine ba, after determining that the newbie was straight, he really did feel a sense of relief.
“Alright, go back ba,” Liu Weizhe said, “Talk with the coach about how you guys are going to play tomorrow when we go back.”
Chen Xiao hadn’t come with them. At the moment, he was keeping Chen Wei company in the hotel.
Everyone agreed and left the internet cafe to return to the hotel.
On the way, Jiang Xinyi was still shocked by Liu Weizhe’s gender—Wtf, how could this be possible! How can such a beautiful Meizi be a man!
Seeing him like that, for some reason Ling Shuyi felt good. He suddenly forgot his previous tone and attitude, and hooked an arm around the other’s neck. “Hahaha, isn’t it very shocking! When I first found out he was a man, I doubted life as much as you are now! I even thought he was the coach’s girlfriend!”
“No, why does he wear women’s clothes? What kind of image is that?” Jiang Xinyi felt that his three views had all shattered.
If what he felt towards Wen Xi was pure appreciation, then toward Liu Weizhe, he had a heartfelt desire to cherish the other.
He liked smart people and had wanted to see who could find him in such a short period of time, so he had agreed to come to the “interview”.
Then, as soon as he first saw Liu Weizhe, he felt like ”Ah, it’s my ideal type”.
Therefore, he had joined CLM more because of Liu Weizhe than Wen Xi.
He had never thought that….
Jiang Xinyi, who was famous for his great reputation, had never encountered any roadblocks since he was young. He had even felt that the whole world revolved around him.
He never thought that he would be overturned in the hands of a crossdressing big boss today!
Fortunately, at least he had the chance to play in a competition with his idol.
Although the Internet was full of Mo Chen and Wen Xi’s CP fans, he, Jiang Xinyi, was so smart that with one look he could tell that it was just a move CLM made to reverse public opinion.
How could two men be together ma! Not mentioning the fact that they were both gaming gods that he admired, the probability of the both of them being gay was too low. Just thinking about it, it was impossible!
Thinking like this, Jiang Xinyi was relieved.
However, just when he wanted to step forward two steps to pat Wen Xi’s shoulder and get his signature, Mo Chen reached out his hand first and held Wen Xi’s waist, saying, “Be careful of the vehicles.”
“Oh.” Wen Xi leaned against Mo Chen and watched a motorcycle pass by him. Not only did he not contradict Mo Chen’s action at all, but he was actually a little happy.
The hand that Jiang Xinyi had stretched out stiffened in midair.
Emmm…… Was it too late for him to refuse to join the team now?

Juurensha: Well Jiang Xinyi, you should probably know that the majority of this team isn’t straight at all. Have fun!
