Ch69 - Natural and unrestrained!

Edited by kat

Fu Feijie fell in battle quickly.

He had just swapped his sniper rifle for an assault rifle, but before he could even shoot at Chen Wei, his screen had turned gray.

“This person is too good at hiding ba? He comes and goes just like a shadow!” Fu Feijie’s teammates couldn’t help but complain, obviously talking about Chen Wei.

CC was silent for a moment, but then lightly replied, “No one in CLM can be underestimated.”

However, what everyone in CLM was surprised about was completely different from what all the other teams were surprised about.

Chen Xiao exclaimed, “What the fuck! This guy has reversed everything about himself? He actually dared to rush out?!”

His Didi was quickly becoming unrecognizable.

“Did he not recognize Fu Feijie?” Wen Xi guessed.

He often didn’t recognize his own teammates when he was playing solo….

“No,” Mo Chen said, “Rather, he recognized that the other side was Fu Feijie before he decided to rush in. Maybe he wanted to limit MQ’s total points.”

Hearing this, Chen Xiao opened his mouth but bit back his words.

This was the playoffs. The playoff points directly affected the Spring Championship, so this game’s importance was self-evident.

In addition, Chen Wei had made mistakes during the regular season, so you couldn’t blame him for trying to save his image during the playoffs.

However, he didn’t know why, but Chen Xiao felt as though Chen Wei’s motive wasn’t that simple.

Thinking about how he came out to him yesterday, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but think—the person that Chen Wei liked couldn’t be here watching the competition ba?

*

During the rest of the game, Chen Wei made several amazing maneuvers. A few times, Chen Wei rushed out of the enemy’s blind spot and neatly killed them off. He had changed his overcautious style and began advancing and retreating freely.

Chen Xiao was stunned by his extraordinary performance. After holding back for a long time, he finally couldn’t help it anymore. He drew closer to Liu Weizhe who was beside him and asked, “Don’t you think he’s acting very abnormal today?”

He was trying a bit too hard, as if he had received some kind of stimulation…

The corner of Liu Weizhe’s lips drew up, and he replied lightly, “Isn’t it very good?”

“It’s very good, but…” Chen Xiao had a kind of unspeakable feeling. “Even though he’s playing in the playoffs, isn’t he working too hard ba? Regarding this kind of nerve wracking performance, I’m tired just watching it.”

“It’s fine as long as he’s not tired.” Liu Weizhe still replied lightly, with an attitude expressing that it wasn’t his business.

Chen Xiao had been roommates with him for four years, so he was used to his tone and knew that his indifference was just for show. In fact, no one knew what he was really thinking.

Thus, he hesitated for a moment, before deciding to share the “inside information” with him. “In fact, Xiao Wei said something to me yesterday. I think he’s in love with someone.”

Liu Weizhe froze, then immediately reacted and replied, “Oh, maybe it’s just a one-sided love?”

“It probably isn’t.” Chen Xiao thought that if it was just a one-sided love, then there would have been no need for Chen Wei to come out to him ah?

However, Liu Weizhe guessed it in the next second. “What? He came out to you?”

Chen Xiao: !!!

In order to protect his Didi, it was absolutely impossible for Chen Xiao to take the initiative to tell anyone about Chen Wei’s coming out of the closet.

However, it was another matter for someone else to guess and for him to confirm it.

Besides, this person wasn’t “someone,” but Liu Weizhe.

Chen Xiao was stunned for a while, and was still thinking about how to fumble through this matter when he suddenly heard Liu Weizhe laugh and say, “He’s quite candid.”

Chen Xiao: ….

Tch, he really couldn’t hide anything in front of a person who could read micro-expressions.

“Don’t worry, I won’t spread it around,” Liu Weizhe assured him and advised, “Isn’t he playing really well? You don’t need to worry about it. If his crush goes to his head and causes him to muddle around while playing, then that’s when you need to be vigilant and intervene.”

“That makes sense.”

Chen Xiao always found it easy to listen to Liu Weizhe’s words, and always felt he was very reasonable.

However, he didn’t notice that Liu Weizhe let out a secret sigh.

To be honest, Liu Weizhe was a little confused at the moment—It was true that he had refused Chen Wei’s confession, but it was also true that he had still given him some hope in the end. He wasn’t sure whether he did the right thing.

Facing Chen Wei’s “future invitation,” Liu Weizhe had said, “It depends on how I feel.” This was because he thought that Chen Wei couldn’t secretly pine after him for ten or so years, he would probably fall for someone else halfway through. This agreement was completely like a fairy-tale, and fairy tales were “unrealistic” by definition.

At the same time, Liu Weizhe was really looking forward to that future.

There was a person who liked him and was working hard for him, and he didn’t find that person repugnant—It truly was a good feeling.

After ten or so years, his feelings for Chen Xiao would definitely fade. If he then started dating Chen Wei, he wouldn’t feel like he was using Chen Wei as a substitute.

In other words, Liu Weizhe actually wanted to try things out with Chen Wei. Maybe they would work out?

And this was what was confusing him—if Chen Wei really kept himself pure for him for ten or so years and they tried being together, and then found out that this future wasn’t what they wanted, what should they do then?

It was more than ten years… How many decades did a life have?

Liu Weizhe was growing increasingly confused, and suddenly felt as though he shouldn’t have given Chen Wei or himself that hope.

He should have simply refused Chen Wei and said to him—Don’t wait for me, it is impossible for us in this entire lifetime.

But….what if they were really possible?

For a period of time, Liu Weizhe’s thoughts became very chaotic, the most chaotic they had ever been.

He wanted to find someone to help him analyze the matter, but after searching his mind, he couldn’t find half a person that he could share this matter with.

It had always been others who came to him for advice, and he had always thought through and solved his problems on his own.

It would be fine if it was any other problem, but this was an emotional issue. He had absolutely no experience in this area, and thus had no clue what to do.

Liu Weizhe pursed his lower lip and forced himself to stop thinking about it for the time being, and concentrated on watching the game.

Soon, the first solo match reached its conclusion. Although Chen Wei lost to YEY’s Lightning in the final circle, he had more than 10 kills in his hands! This was a first for him!

Ling Shuyi had also played really well this match, so the two people’s points added together placed them in second, second only to YEY!

“Good, good!” Chen Xiao stood up and clapped.

You had to know that until now, there were still many people who thought that CLM was completely supported by Mo Chen and Wen Xi, and that everyone else was no different from flower vases compared to them.

However, Chen Wei and Ling Shuyi had broken into the top three relying on their own strengths!

“This year, every player from CLM is so strong!” A-Yi couldn’t help but sigh and said, “I don’t know if they have adjusted their training methods, but I feel that their entire team’s morale has risen!”

“I feel the same way!” Bunny Ji said, “Especially Kitty and Windy, they’ve made a lot of progress this season! In the fifth circle, Kitty and Ax’s head-to-head gun battle had me on the edge of my seat, and he managed to win! His action of unequipping his gun was very natural and unrestrained!”

A-Yi laughed. “Hahaha, yes! Not to mention Windy. He managed to hide all the way to the final circle in this opening match, and still managed to take that many kills. CLM has a very promising future ahead of it!”

While the two casters were crazily blowing out rainbow farts, Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei took off their earphones one after another and left the competition field, walking over to their teammates in the rest area.

Ling Shuyi rushed to Mo Chen with a smile and wanted to high-five him. Mo Chen looked at him indifferently for a while, but finally took mercy on him and raised his hand, letting him high-five him.

Then, Wen Xi took the initiative to raise his hand and high-five Ling Shuyi.

Finally, Ling Shuyi went to high-five Chen Xiao. Although Chen Xiao raised his hand, he did it absent-mindedly, and his gaze didn’t leave his Didi.

When his Didi Chen Wei returned to the rest area, the first person he looked at was neither him nor the team captain Mo Chen, but Liu Weizhe, the manager.

Chen Wei smiled at Liu Weizhe. Liu Weizhe instinctively wanted to smile back at him, and the corners of his lips had hooked up, but suddenly he thought of something and turned his head to avoid his gaze. His attitude of refusal couldn’t be more obvious.

However, Chen Wei wasn’t frustrated at all and happily returned to his position before picking up his thermos and drinking some water.

Chen Xiao looked at him then at Liu Weizhe. A seemingly impossible guess gradually took shape in his mind.

He looked at the two of them in disbelief. However, before he could react, Mo Chen and Wen Xi stood up and walked past him, distracting him.

The moment they appeared, the scene suddenly went crazy, and the audience broke out into unprecedented screams and cheers! People who didn’t know what was going on thought they had gone to a concert.

“AHHHHHHHHH! Moxi CP, good luck!”

“If husband and wife join hands, great things can be achieved!”

“Sweet duo match! The championship belongs to you guys!”

What was this all about?

Chen Xiao froze and took a long time to react—Oh, this seemed to be the first competition Mo Chen and Wen Xi had played after announcing their love?

It might have been because he was frightened by the sudden burst of cheers from the audience, but Wen Xi tripped and nearly fell down. Mo Chen instinctively reached out to help him.

It wasn’t so much helping as it was scooping him up—At this moment, he had one hand around Wen Xi’s waist, and he had pretty much surrounded him with his arms.

“Thank you…” Wen Xi had been scared to death. After he regained his balance, he leaned against Mo Chen and let out a breath.

Mo Chen reluctantly released his waist and moved to grasp his wrist. “Slow down, don’t be nervous.”

Wen Xi let out an “en.”

This scene was recorded by many people on their cellphones and posted to Weibo, which soon yielded a lot of comments.

[AHHHHHH I SHIP IT SO MUCH!]

[Holy shit! Momo, where did you put your hands?!]

[Momo is so doting ahhhhh! I want to contract his helplessly doting expression!]

Surrounded by the public’s online and offline discussions, the two people finally arrived at the field and started to check over their equipment.

After Wen Xi put on his earphones, he could finally completely cut off the audience’s voices, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Not waiting for his sigh to finish, he then heard Mo Chen’s voice, “Nervous?”

“Not really,” Wen Xi responded, and then added, “It’s the other teams who should be nervous.”

Not expecting him to say that, Mo Chen couldn’t hold back from laughing out loud.

How could his Wen Xi be so cute?

“You’re right,” he held back his laughter and agreed with him, “It’s them who should be nervous.”

At the same time, after returning to the rest area, Chen Wei finally had a chance to sit beside Liu Weizhe.

Liu Weizhe looked at him warily, but before he could ask why he was sitting next to him, he received a message.

However, this message wasn’t from Chen Wei, but from Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao: You see people the most accurately. Who do you think Xiao Wei likes?

The author has something to say:

Today is another day defeated by the cold weather…

In fact, everything I have wanted to write about this piece, I have already written. I want to write a little about the competition later, but I don’t know if you guys are okay with that…

The summer competition will go into newbie kid Jiang Xinyin’s progress, and other parts will also be glossed over. The global competition may have a detailed one or two games, and then it’s just sprinkling fancy fluff of the main characters.

What else do you want to see? If there’s nothing else, I’ll just start winding it up la 0w0
