GTRSH Chapter 37

The game was already loaded, and Yu Xinche was busy playing the game, not looking at the comments. After He Ci came over, he knew He Ci had experience in this area, and he believed he would help him handle it.

He Ci leaned in front of the screen, looked at the content of the barrage, and said impatiently: “Don’t yell here. Didn’t he say he didn’t curse anyone? Don’t you understand Chinese?”

【Aren’t you still Zhou Fang’s good brother? Plastic friendship】

【You said you didn’t curse, so you didn’t curse?】

【…The anchor may not have cursed, but his fans did.】

“Do you not have hands? Can you drag the progress bar to see the live playback?”

If it was He Ci’s own livestream, he would probably have ended here. It didn’t matter what happened later, whether he was accused of being arrogant or speaking rudely. His image in the hearts of HPL players has basically been established, and this little thing would not have much impact on him.

But this was Yu Xinche’s livestream room. He had just started his professional career and had not yet established a good reputation among passers-by. He Ci wanted to give him a good start.

Xu Le happened to be in a meeting at that moment. Several colleagues in charge of the livestream were acting as moderators for Yu Xinche. They could only help to mute people and had no real power.

He thought about it and sent a few messages to OBSESS.

He Ci had been a professional player for five years and had made friends with many players. He was also familiar with Zhou Fang, who was also an AD player.

Zhou Fang was a nice guy, he rarely caused trouble. He Ci guessed that he didn’t even know that his fans had gone to someone else’s house to cause trouble.

Zhou Fang might not be able to see his message while they were live streaming, but they were lucky this time, as Zhou Fang replied with a stupid emoticon in less than a minute.

-Zhou Fang:?

-Zhou Fang: I’ll handle it

He finally came online in the game.

【Finally here】

【If you go offline for a minute in a high ranking game, you deserve to be scolded】

【Who understands the pain of leaving one person in the bottom lane to clear two waves of soldiers】

Dew doesn’t do much damage, and Yu Xinche was glad that he had brought a set of attack runes that could actively discharge electricity. He took on two waves of attacks with great difficulty.

HIT’s mechanism for replenishing soldiers was relatively simple, and “whoever sees it gets a share”: the person who killed the wild monsters in the soldier line could get the most money, and everyone around them could also get a share.

However, the gold coin reward for killing was much higher than that of bystanders, so the support would still give the minion resources to the AD in the early stage, allowing the AD to make the final kill.

Lightning was only level 1, and clearly needed to develop. After Yu Xinche saw that he was no longer AFK, he blocked the newly arrived soldiers outside the tower, and after the soldiers killed him and reduced his health by half, Lightning also walked to the minions.

Yu Xinche used a small skill to weaken the soldiers and feed them to Lightning, then returned to the home base.

OBSESS typing on the public screen: My fault, I just went out for something

OBSESS: The support even helped me to block the minions, love you

【???】

【OB fans, speak up!】

【Your master is already apologizing, why don’t you try to curse your father again!!】

【OB’s fans are gone. OB just told them in the live broadcast room not to send out police casually】

【……】

【Who are you? You come and go as you please.】

【…I am done with his fans】

【It’s okay, ignore them, let’s just watch the live broadcast】

Yu Xinche went back to the home base and took the opportunity to buy some small equipment. After seeing the message from OB, he opened the chat box, closed it, and opened it again.

Out of politeness he should reply, but he didn’t know what to say –

After all, OBSESS’s fans just came to make trouble, and if he acted too friendly now, the fans in his own live broadcast room might feel uncomfortable.

He Ci said from behind: “Ignore him.”

Yu Xinche: “?”

He turned around and saw He Ci still standing behind his chair. He was stunned: “You’re still here.”

“Yeah.” He Ci had been watching the fight behind him without making any sound. Yu Xinche was wearing headphones and was concentrating, so he thought He Ci had gone out again.

Yu Xinche: “You can just go do your own stuff.”

“Yeah.” He Ci sat back in his seat and looked at his phone, “You play.”

Yu Xinche didn’t talk much with He Ci and turned back to continue playing the game.

Their bottom lane hero was already difficult to play in this game, and OBSESS missed two waves of minion soldiers. The pressure was huge in the early stage. Yu Xinche was very focused and didn’t even have time to read the barrage.

Although he didn’t say anything, he was determined to perform well this time and win honor for his fans.

OBSESS did not let down the team afterwards. The two of them stayed in the tower and developed for a while, gradually stabilizing the situation. Then they found an opportunity to call their teammates in the mid and jungle to help with a gank. They even had a small lead in kills and economy.

They won the game in the end.

Yu Xinche exited the settlement panel and saw the comments praising him.

【Cool】

【The last wave of possessing the dragon was quite clever】

【Although you died, the opponents also died!】

【Two for Five Blood Profit】

【Support carried!】

In the last wave, the other side attacked the dragon, and they immediately rushed to the dragon pit after discovering it, but it was still too late. Seeing that the dragon was on the verge of death, Yu Xinche used his teammates as a stepping stone to flash and possess the dragon to put a shield on the dragon.

Not only did he lure out the opponent’s damage, but he also saved the dragon.

The next second, their jungler came over and killed the dragon.

With the buff of the dragon, they successfully won this team battle. The opponents held a grudge against Dew who was protecting the dragon, and finally used a bunch of skills to kill him and OBSESS who he possessed.

“They all played pretty well, so I can’t say I was the best.” The jungler was also crucial in this round. He cut into the opponent’s C position in several teamfights. Yu Xinche usually only show off when he was confident, so he said modestly, “The jungler has a good rhythm.”

【Ha ha ha ha】

【You are so rigorous even in your own livestream room】

【Baby , admit it, you are good at it】

Amidst the laughter and joy in the barrage, a prompt with flashing special effects popped up: 【YC.OBSESS enters the live broadcast room】

-YC.OBSESS: Am I not great?

【???】

【No, buddy】

【Whether you’re good or not is another matter, your fans just came to scold our anchor】

-YC.OBSESS: My bad

-YC.OBSESS: I was out for something just now, and when I came back to see my livestream, there were indeed a lot of people scolding me.

-YC.OBSESS: I know Che Shen is not so uncultured, maybe it’s the trolls who is leading the conversation

【??】

【What are you calling him】

【Ah, Che Shen just like this?】

【Since you are sincere, I forgive you on my own behalf】

【Listen to me, next time you are not allowed to go to the bathroom during the selection process]

-Y.C.OBSESS: .

-YC.OBSESS: I didn’t go to the bathroom, fans were just guessing.

The comments were scrolling so fast that it took Yu Xinche a while to find OB’s message. When he returned to the bottom, the system popped up a reminder:

【YC.OBSESS gives out fireworks x1!】

The barrage of comments burst into colorful fireworks effects, and the audience was scrambling for the small rewards that fell from the fireworks.

【666】

【Brother Fang is generous】

【Brother Fang is generous】

【Brother Fang is generous】

When Yu Xinche saw the special effects that took up half of the screen, he knew that fireworks were the platform’s top gift.

He remembered that when his senior saw the gifts during livestream, they would say words of thanks, “Thanks to so-and-so for the gift, I wish the boss is happy every day or something like that.”

Yu Xinche couldn’t think of any words of blessing to give to OBSESS, and he was stuck, looking at the barrage and fell into thought.

【Thank him for the gift, baby】

【Brother Fang, this is our anchor’s first time live streaming, sorry】

“Someone sent a gift during the live broadcast. You have to read out his name to thank him.” He Ci suddenly spoke.

“I know.” Yu Xinche glanced at He Ci’s computer screen and found that he was not playing games. He turned his body to the side, avoiding the camera and whispered, “Isn’t it to wish the boss a happy day or something like that? I don’t know what to wish him.”

He Ci laughed after hearing this: “No need to wish.”

“ah?”

He Ci slid the chair towards his position, then swiped the mouse up and down the screen, clicking on the reminder to send a gift, and said to Yu Xinche, “Just read the ID and gift once… Let me show you how.”

He looked at the camera and said, “Thanks to YC.OBSESS for sending me a firework. Boss is very generous.”

【6】

【What were you two whispering about just now?】

【Is it because Xiao Yu is shy and embarrassed to say thank you?】

Yu Xinche was not shy, but he felt it was impolite to say he didn’t know how to thank OB in front of him.

Now that he knew, he responded, “Thanks, OBSESS, Brother Fang is generous.”

-YC.OBSESS: You’re welcome

-YC.OBSESS: Still playing? Let’s play in duo

Yu Xinche subconsciously glanced at He Ci.

【Look at what he is doing!】

【I know Baby wants to play with He Ci】

【I ship it again, hehe】

He Ci: “No, you can exit the livestream room now.”

-YC.OBSESS: Why?

-YC.OBSESS: I gave a gift! The boss is the best

He Ci ignored him and clicked twice on his phone.

System prompt: [TZ.Fix sends out fireworks x5!]

Then he turned around and asked Yu Xinche: “Will you queue with me?”

Yu Xinche felt that He Ci was a bit childish, so he held back his laughter and nodded.

He Ci went back to his seat and opened the HIT client, saying as he did so: “Thank you for the gift.”

“Hmm?” Yu Xinche was stunned for a moment before reacting, “Thank you FIX for the fireworks. FIX, you’re so generous!”

【!!!】

【Haha …】

【This is what it means to be rich and powerful】

【You’re fighting over this?】

【Why don’t you two transfer money to each other so that the platform doesn’t take a cut?】

【He Young Master is generous】

【Our prince spent eight million, it’s just five fireworks】

【Generous!】

【Why do you call OB as “Brother Fang” and calling He Ci as “Fix”?】

【I have indeed never heard Baby call him Brother He Ci】

【Can you call one?】

【It’s also nice for couples to shout their full names】

No one in the barrage cared about Zhou Fang’s life or death. Yu Xinche was careful and said to him, “Brother Fang, I’ll add you as my friend. We can queue together next time.”

-YC.OBSESS: OK

-YC.OBSESS: Next time we play together, brother will help you get blue

After Zhou Fang left, Yu Xinche invited He Ci.

The two of them started the game, and the comments were all asking He Ci to do a livestream, so Yu Xinche conveyed: “The comments said they want you to do a live, too.”

“No.” He Ci said in a louder voice so that the audience could hear, “It’s the same as watching your livestream.”

【Crying】

【Ah?】

【If he starts a live, the popularity of baby’s live will decrease】

He Ci didn’t want to divert traffic from here.

【Too much consideration, crying】

Yu Xinche was also moved for a moment when he saw the comments.

He Ci may seemed arrogant, but he was actually very careful and thoughtful. When he helped to deal with things, he never took it lightly and always stood in other’s shoes and really considered it properly.

The two of them played duo for quite a long time. During that time, Bian Qi came over to give them some gifts, and several teammates also came over to talk for a while during their breaks.

When the broadcast ended at twelve o’clock, Yu Xinche’s livestream was among the top ten in popularity on the Goldfish platform.

The entire TZ team was relatively restrained in staying up late, and all went to bed at 1 a.m.

Yu Xinche had just arrived and wanted to practice heroes, so he played one or two more games and left the training room around two o’clock.

After all three teammates left, Yu Xinche prepared to play two more games as usual. He said to He Ci, “If you want to rest, go first. I’ll practice some more.”

“There’s no rush today, just go ahead.”

“Oh.”

The two continued to play in a duo and lost, so Yu Xinche asked for another round, and He Ci agreed.

He Ci won this time. He played the Lunar Eclipse. Yu Xinche hesitated for a while between Dew and Solar Eclipse and finally chose Dew.

Because Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse were a couple of heroes, but they had not yet played this bottom lane combination.

After winning this game, they went back to the dormitory building next door together.

The road was very quiet. The stars and the moon were all hidden and they couldn’t see any of them. Only the lights at the base were still on.

The two chatted about the game they had just played. Yu Xinche said, “I thought you had joined a queue, but it turns out you didn’t even have the game open.”

He was talking about the time when the first round just ended.

He Ci said “hmm”: “Waiting for you.”

“You should have told me in advance. If I really went to play duo with OB, you would have waited for nothing.”

He Ci hummed again, absentmindedly.

Yu Xinche looked at him and hesitated to speak.

Their rooms were far, at the end of the second floor. When they went upstairs, Yu Xinche walked in front, he walked a little slowly, and finally stopped.

“I want to ask you a question.” Yu Xinche said.

“What?”

“Maybe it’s my illusion, but…” Yu Xinche paused for a second or two, then said, “Are you avoiding me?”

He Ci also stopped walking: “Why do you ask?”

“It’s just a feeling.”

Yu Xinchè wouldn’t put someone in a difficult position, so since He Ci had no intention of explaining, he did not persist: “If you think there is no such thing, then it’s just my imagination.”

He Ci was silent for a while, then explained: “Aren’t there a lot of people shipping our pairing recently? You just started playing professionally, and I don’t want fans to focus all their attention on our relationship. What I need to let them see now is your gaming performance.”

“Oh.” It was unclear whether Yu Xinche was convinced or not. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then looked up at He Ci, “But I think what we have presented is a normal intimate relationship. The couple they are talking about is just a fantasy. They know rationally that we don’t have any special feelings for each other.”

“So I don’t think it will have any impact.”

Before He Ci could say anything, he added, “But this is my opinion. You have much more experience than me, and there may be aspects that I haven’t thought of. I also… accept your actions. Good night.”

“Good night.”

Yu Xinche left after saying this.

He Ci looked at him and waited until he closed the door before returning to his room.

Yu Xinche was very smart and perceptive.

He Ci was just a little distant, but it was already noticed by him.

He also knew that what Yu Xinche said was actually correct. They were teammates and good friends, and it was a normal interpersonal relationship.

Yu Xinche was likable and approachable. He should have many good friends like He Ci. So he adapted well to this kind of relationship.

But He Ci did not.

From the first day of his professional career, he knew that he would leave this circle sooner or later, so he never planned to get so close to anyone during his professional career.

Many people in his circle showed him good intentions, he would set a boundary for others in his mind. He would refuse any benefits beyond this range.

Correspondingly, he never expects others to give him any unexpected care.

But when he saw Yu Xinche peeling shrimps for him that day, he felt an unignorable feeling of happiness in his heart.

After being happy, he also felt overwhelmed.

At that moment he suddenly realized that he had no objection to Yu Xinche’s closeness and had never set any boundaries for him.

If Yu Xinche was willing to keep them close, it seems that he would never refuse.
