Ch68 - I’ve discovered that I like men.

Edited by kat

Chen Wei pulled Chen Xiao to a corner that no one was in.

Originally, he thought that it would all be very good. He could tell his Ge about his sexual orientation, and also confirm his Ge’s sexual orientation along the way.

However, when he was actually about to come out of the closet, he was still a little nervous. He hesitated for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, “Ge, I’m going tell you something. Don’t beat me up after hearing it…”

Hearing this sentence, Chen Xiao’s heart “thudded” for a moment, and his first reaction was. “You got in a fight with someone?”

Professional players would get banned if they were caught fighting with someone!

“No, no!” Chen Wei sort of didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but it was understandable. After all, they were going to play in the playoffs soon and as CLM’s coach, Chen Xiao was full of thoughts about the competition. It wasn’t strange for him to immediately think of that.

“It’s not about the competition, it’s my own problem.” Chen Wei tried to hint at it a bit more clearly.

Chen Xiao immediately raised his hand to support his chin and fell into contemplation. “Xiao Wei ah, are you in debt to someone outside? It’s no use talking to me about money ah… Would you like to ask A-Chen? He shouldn’t leave you in a lurch.”

What was all this!

Should he say that he was worthy of being his biological Ge?

“Alright ba.” Chen Wei didn’t intend to beat around the bush any longer and said bluntly, “It’s not about money, it’s my sexuality… Ge, I’ve discovered that I like men.”

Chen Wei finally managed to utter this sentence, but instead of feeling relieved, he grew increasingly nervous. His Ge clearly hadn’t said anything yet, but he already felt as if he was about to be publicly executed, and felt so ashamed that he could expire on the spot.

Chen Xiao froze for a moment, not expecting that Chen Wei had specially pulled him into the corner to say this.

In fact, there had been clues that Chen Wei liked men for a very long time now.

When he was still in school, after coming home every day Chen Wei didn’t talk with his Ge about how beautiful the girls in his class were, but instead how outstanding the boys were. He praised them for their grades and athleticism, boasting about them until flowers rained down from the sky. Instead of envying or hating them, he had seemed extremely appreciative of them, which aroused Chen Xiao’s notice at that time.

Later, Chen Wei probably realized that he was different from others, so he didn’t talk too much with his Ge about this kind of thing anymore. However, when he was messing around and playing with his friends, he would casually stress, “I’m fine with guys or girls!”

Therefore, although Chen Xiao had never mentioned it, he had always believed that his brother was bisexual.

He didn’t expect that Chen Wei, who would just casually say that sentence from time to time, would come out to his Ge in such a solemn fashion right before the competition started.

What was more, it wasn’t, “I’m bisexual,” but rather decisively telling him—Ge, I’ve discovered that I like men.

Did this mean that he already had a person he liked, and that person was a man?

Chen Xiao took out a cigarette case from his pocket, looking as though he wanted to smoke, but he suddenly thought of something and stuffed the cigarette case back.

He hesitated for a moment, but he noticed Chen Wei’s nervous gaze. He knew how much courage he had gathered to say that, so he had no choice but to smile and rub Chen Wei’s dog head.

“Okay, I know now,” Chen Xiao responded with his gentlest tone, “No matter what our parents think after learning this, at least Ge will support you with all my strength!”

After hearing his words, Chen Wei relaxed and let out a sigh of relief, letting out a relaxed “en.”

However, when he opened his mouth again, his words took a turn. “Ge, you supported me so quickly ah, it couldn’t be that you also like men?”

The corner of Chen Xiao’s mouth rose, and the hand that was originally rubbing Chen Wei’s head was immediately raised and then fell quickly. He slapped his head and said angrily, “Is it not enough for the Chen family to have just you be gay?! Laozi is straight!”

Chen Wei was slapped silly by that hit, but the next second, instead of being angry, he laughed.

——Sure enough, A-Zhe was very accurate at judging people. His family’s Ge really was straight!

However, after thinking about it, those two had been college roommates for four years. If Liu Weizhe could obtain him, then he would have gotten him early on. How could he wait until he had graduated from university and was admitted to graduate school?

Chen Xiao looked at the smile on his Didi’s face, and his hair stood on end.

It couldn’t be that he had been slapped silly?

Strange, he hadn’t exerted any force when he hit him just now ah?

Chen Wei dodged after laughing and said, “Thank you, Ge! Love you oh, heart~”

After speaking, he really raised his arms to form a heart at his family’s Ge.

Chen Xiao was disgusted enough by him and rolled his eyes, but after Chen Wei ran away, the corner of his lips couldn’t help but rise.

Really…he had just come out of the closet, and he was already acting so gay.

But, this was his own family’s Didi, so what could he do? He’d just dote on him bei.

Thinking like this, Chen Xiao took out his cigarette case from his pocket with a smile, before pulling out a cigarette and holding it in his mouth. However, he soon thought of something and took the cigarette out of his mouth, wearing a puzzled expression.

Since Chen Wei had joined the club, besides training, he only had more training, and even when he had rest time, he wouldn’t leave the club, so he had no opportunities to go out and make friends with others.

So…who on earth did he like?

“Hello everyone, welcome to the SGH spring playoffs! I’m Caster A-Yi!”

“And I’m Caster Bunny Ji~”

“There are 20 teams competing in the playoffs. Which team are you most looking forward to, Bunny Ji?”

This was almost a routine question asked before every game.

Bunny Ji sat next to A-Yi on the caster platform, and tilted her head and thought for a while. She soon had an answer. “CLM ba!”

If it was last year’s playoffs, she definitely wouldn’t dare to say the name of this team so easily.

One reason was that this team had too many anti-fans, and the other was that the overall strength of the team had been regressing after Chen Xiao retired.

But this year, with more and more awesome newbies being recruited into CLM, she could foresee CLM’s bright future, and she could now raise her head and proudly say the name of this team. “So far, no team has been able to crack Momo and Wency’s cooperation! Kitty is getting fiercer and fiercer, and you can see that he has been improving the whole time! Although Windy made a big mistake on the fourth day of the regular season, CLM’s official Weibo said that it was because of a bad cold. Aside from his mistakes in that game, his game sense is really amazing!”

“It’s true that Windy has always been very good at hiding, but he used to play more as a support in team competitions, and rarely played in solo competitions. Who would have thought that his solo match performance would be so good?” A-Yi said.

Bunny Ji said, “CLM’s substitute was also very interesting. After the regular season, he was named the ‘on-the-spot strategist’ by netizens. I really hope that he will become CLM’s commander in the future!”

A-Yi said, “But it seems that he didn’t come to the playoffs, so I don’t know whether he’s going to play.”

After that, the two casters introduced several other noteworthy teams, including YEY and MQ.

QAQ ranked fourth, causing them to appear like a dark horse, but in fact, they had been lucky and were never in the same squad match as the other three strong teams.

However, managing to take first place in a match without any of the three strong teams also counted as a testament to their abilities.

The ranked fifth DOL was a very old team and used to be the team thought most likely to take the SGH championship. But now, after their older players retired, DOL had gradually stepped down from the altar and became a team that had a past, unforgettable glory.

While the casters were in the process of introducing the teams, the players for the first solo match got ready and entered the queueing map.

Very soon, the game began, and 40 players boarded the plane at the same time.

The scene on the big screen jumped, no longer showing the faces of the casters and instead cutting to the game, randomly selecting a player’s perspective to show.

“It’s Lan Yan of QAQ!” A-Yi had just spoken when a burst of boos rang out at the scene.

After Lan Yan left CLM, he was often attacked by unreasonable CLM fans. QAQ’s official Weibo team had written two long posts in succession to explain and defend his behavior, but they had little effect.

For CLM fans, Lan Yan’s behavior was a betrayal, and couldn’t be washed clean.

As long as they weren’t Lan Yan’s personal fan, none of the fans would stand in his position and think about his transfer rationally.

However, Lan Yan must have taken this into consideration when he decided to transfer.

Now that he had made his choice, he had to accept the consequences of that choice.

Bunny Ji heard the audience booing and couldn’t help being stunned.

As a caster, she naturally had a broader view than the audience. Although she was optimistic about CLM, she wouldn’t attack a person who had “betrayed” CLM. On the contrary, after hearing the boos of the audience, she decided to defend Lan Yan. “Lan Yan has played pretty well after joining QAQ ah? It seems that his style is more suitable for QAQ than for CLM, so transferring was a wise choice.”

Hearing what Bunny Ji wanted to do, A-Yi also dropped in a comment, “Yes, his style is relatively calm, which wasn’t suitable for staying in a team as fast-paced as CLM. In contrast, the cautious QAQ allows him more room to play to his fullest ability. It can be said that his transfer decision was wise. If he stayed in CLM, it’s unknown whether he could even play in the competition or not.”

After finishing speaking, the two of them didn’t say anything else.

The director also quickly turned the camera to the other players.

For the playoffs, many teams had made adjustments to how their combat power was distributed and their play styles, so the players participating in the solo match had changed a lot compared to the regular season.

In other words, MQ had arranged for their team captain CC to play the duo competition, and the solo competition was now headed by Fu Feijie.

Whether such an arrangement was good or bad, no one would know until they tried it out.

Perhaps the director was also curious about how Fu Feijie would fight, but from time to time, he would cut the camera to him. As MQ’s ace sniper, Fu Feijie indeed performed very well. His sniping ability seemed to have improved, and as long as he aimed at someone, there was almost no escape for his prey.

In order to fully demonstrate his skills, the director would also cut to the perspectives of the people near him.

Then, accidentally he cut to Chen Wei, who was crouching in the vicinity.

At this moment, Chen Wei was hiding in a very well concealed spot, and was using his third person perspective to confirm Fu Feijie’s position.

The casters couldn’t help but wonder whether he would attack Fu Feijie or not.

Chen Xiao didn’t even think before saying, “He won’t. Xiao Wei will definitely hide until Fu Feijie leaves.”

Mo Chen agreed with him, “If it was someone else, then he may rush in and try to fight, but it’s impossible with Fu Feijie.”

——They had just never seen Chen Wei go head to head against any of YEY’s or MQ’s strongest players.

While going through the replays for Chen Wei, Mo Chen had emphasized when he should hide and when he should rush out. However, Chen Wei still had his own judgment after listening to him. Whenever he met a strong player, even if he was 60% sure that he could win, he would never take that risk.

However, shortly after Chen Xiao and Mo Chen voiced their opinions, Chen Wei suddenly stood up and rushed over, throwing a grenade at Fu Feijie!

A huge explosion rang out with a “bang,” blasting Fu Feijie into a frantic mess. Although he had avoided the grenade in time, he couldn’t find a place to hide himself.

Without waiting for the smoke grenade he had just thrown out to hide his figure, Chen Wei had already swapped to his assault rifle and aimed at him.

After a series of gunshots, a system message flashed in the upper right corner of the screen.

[CLM-Windy killed MQ-FFJ with a headshot with an assault rifle!]

Seeing this prompt, the entire stadium was shocked, but the ones who were most surprised were Chen Wei’s teammates and coach.

Chen Xiao exclaimed, “WTF?!”

This guy, when did he become so fierce?!

It was like he was showing off for someone…
