GTRSH Chapter 45

  He Ci originally wanted to directly repost it, and add a caption saying that it was indeed unreasonable not to give him the MVP, but was rejected by Xu Le.

  Finally, Xu Le helped him think of a text that continued to rhyme, and watched him post it in the comment section.

He Ci had never liked people talking about his support and his CP.

The more tacit understanding, the better in the game, the consistent thinking and operations were all for winning, but in the eyes of CP fans, blocking skills with the body becomes dying for love.

Once a host asked him in a post-match interview what he was thinking when he used purification to help his teammates block skills.

He Ci was silent for a few seconds with an expressionless face, and uttered two words: Want to win.

At that time, this scene was made into an animated picture. Whenever there was a post about irrational CP, someone would post this picture to mock it.

Maybe it’s because this happened too long ago and he has gained a new group of fans, and they don’t know this story anymore.

He Ci struggled for a while about whether to correct their thoughts in the comment section, but finally decided to give up.

Fans all have a rebellious mentality. The more he refuted them, the more excited they would become. So just ignore it.

Yu Xinche also replied to the comment section with a sun emoji after Xu Le’s reminder, and said: I will continue to work hard next time^^

Five minutes later, his fans responded in unison:

【Good baby^^】

“Why do you all call me baby…” He opened his mouth, a little frustrated, “One or two is acceptable, but it feels weird when everyone calls me like that.”

He complained sincerely, but there was not much anger in it. To outsiders, he seemed more adorable and several people started laughing.

The training match was about to start, and the five of them were sitting in front of their computers. Xiao Ou laughed and said, “Haha, because you’re cute.”

CONTROL: “They call you baby because they like you. Look at He Ci, is anyone calling him baby?”

He Ci was sitting next to him. He glanced at him and said, “Don’t disgust me.”

Yu Xinche: “Then can I tell them not to shout like that during the live broadcast?”

He was still too naive. The other four smiled knowingly when they heard this. He Ci said, “I don’t recommend it.”

“Why?”

He Ci: “They will scream even louder if you tell them.”

BURN: “Netizens are all perverts. If you would be shy if someone called you baby, then they would definitely want to run up to you and call you that.”

“That makes sense.” Yu Xinche was enlightened, “Then forget it.”

“I’m a pervert too.” Xiao Ou had a wicked smile on his face, trotted over to Yu Xinche and said in a very coquettish voice: “Xinche baby~”

“???”

Yu Xinche covered his ears and leaned over the table, saying unbearably: “Don’t disgust me——”

The same sentence sounded different when he said it and when He Ci said it. To He Ci it sounded like a warning, but he dragged out each word, without any murderous intent, but instead sounded like he was acting coquettishly.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Ou became even more excited and called “baby” “baby” several times in his ear.

Yu Xinche was very soft-tempered in front of his own people and would never really get angry. He struggled in vain and turned to look at He Ci next door, trying to ask for help.

He Ci and the other two teammates were watching them quarrelling. Seeing Yu Xinche’s gaze, He Ci remained unmoved and shrugged: “I can’t control it.”

How could he not control Xiao Ou? Yu Xinche glared at him and said, “You just want to watch the show… You are also a pervert, right? You all are.”

He Ci didn’t pretend: “Yes, everyone is a pervert.”

Xiao Ou saw that Yu Xinche’s face seemed a little red, and was surprised to find that he was really shy.

But at this time He Ci said that the training match would start soon and asked him to sit down, so he looked at Yu Xinche regretfully again, stuck out his tongue and left.

Yu Xinche was not grateful for He Ci’s belated rescue. He rolled his eyes and came up with an idea to play a prank.

However, the timing was not right, so he put the plan on file.

Today’s practice match was against YC, the team Zhou Fang was in. They were on the same level as TZ, and Zhou Fang in the bottom lane and the support player THINK were both popular star players.

Although it was a training match, both sides did not dare to relax, and their attitudes could be seen from the BP phase.

The coach asked: “FIX can you play Eclipse?”

The HPL tournament version was one to two weeks behind the official version of the game. Currently, there was an equipment upgrade in the official new version, which had a ripple effect on the whole system, and the Lunar Eclipse could be used again.

The game servers would be updated soon, and most teams in the league would be practicing the lunar eclipse-related systems this week.

“Okay.” He Ci agreed.

Coach: “So BREEZE, is there anything you want to play?”

“Hourglass?” Yu Xinche blurted out.

“Solar Eclipse is better,” BURN replied.

CONTROL agrees: “The Solar Eclipse has a higher tolerance.”

The coach thought for a moment and said, “Well, choosing the hourglass will make you vulnerable to attack and may cause more pressure. Xiao Yu chose this because he needs to be able to withstand the pressure…”

“Interrupting here,” He Ci asked him, “Which one do you want to play more?”

Yu Xinche licked his lips and didn’t answer immediately.

Obviously, except for He Ci, everyone prefers him to play Solar Eclipse.

Both of these heroes could be paired with He Ci, the difference is that Eclipse was a hard support and all he needs is his ultimate skill.

The inspiration for [Hourglass] comes from time. This hero tested awareness and operation, and could be said to be one of the auxiliary heroes who could most influence the situation in the game.

He felt that He Ci’s Lunar Eclipse was very elegant and actually more compatible with the Hourglass, but his teammates might still be afraid that he would make mistakes… and wanted him to choose a safer hero to survive.

The hero selection session was very short, leaving Yu Xinche with little time to think. He stared at the hourglass on the screen for two seconds before finally compromising: “Then let’s go with the Solar Eclipse.”

He Ci glanced at him and said nothing.

Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse were a couple and have several sets of couple skins.

However, they were not wearing the same outfit today. He Ci was wearing the Halloween vampire skin, and Yu Xinche was using the companion Valkyrie skin.

After entering the game, Zhou Fang on the other side also noticed this immediately and typed a greeting to them on the public screen:

-YC.Obsess: No couple skin?

Yu Xinche was a newcomer and wasn’t familiar with the other four members of YC, so he didn’t feel comfortable interacting with them.

He Ci politely replied with a period to indicate that they had read the message.

Seeing that neither of them responded, Zhou Fang stopped teasing and started playing the game seriously.

In this game, Zhou Fang and his support both had control skills, while Yu Xinche and He Ci mostly had life-saving and output skills, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

The battle went back and forth during the laning phase, but TZ was slightly behind in the mid-to-late team battles and ultimately lost the first game.

The training match would be played for 3 rounds regardless of the score. In the last two rounds, He Ci did not play Lunar Eclipse, and he and Yu Xinche chose a lineup that has been more common recently, and they won both games smoothly.

After the game, a review meeting was held as usual. Yu Xinche’s Solar Eclipse was average, and the coach only pointed out some minor operational flaws.

He listened silently for a long time while everyone expressed their opinions. When it was almost over, he moved his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he just lowered his head and continued playing with his fingers.

Later in the evening during the free practice time, He Ci found Yu Xinche to play duo with him and chose Lunar Eclipse right away.

Yu Xinche chose a hero after him and asked, “What should I play?”

He Ci basically doesn’t care what heroes others want to play, and Yu Xinche usually doesn’t ask, but the afternoon training match was still vivid in his mind, so he asked subconsciously.

Sure enough, He Ci said the same thing as before: “Play whatever you want.”

Yu Xinche chose the Hourglass: “What about this one?”

He Ci imitated his tone: “Sure.”

Yu Xinche was comforted by him, smiled and locked it.

This was the first time for both of them to play this combination. They didn’t cooperate very well in the beginning, and both of them died in a 2v2 battle with the opponent in the bottom lane.

After finishing one round, while waiting in line for the second round, He Ci said to him, “You played very well.”

“Yeah, you’re strong too.”

“It’s not that they think you’re bad, it’s just that they don’t know you well enough to trust you with the outcome of the game.”

Yu Xinche rubbed his fingers on the mouse and said nothing.

He Ci knew everything, and he could tell even without him saying anything.

“Back then I couldn’t let you pass the tryout just because of my personal wishes. It’s the same now. You can only slowly get used to them.”

“En.”

“But if you want to practice anything, you can call me. I’m always here.”

Yu Xinche bit her lip and nodded twice, and then said, “I know.”

Smart people don’t need to say too much, He Ci stopped there and didn’t say anything to comfort him.

After that, the two played several games of the combination of Eclipse and Hourglass. A player of He Ci’s level could actually be considered a half-coach. He had his own opinions on which bottom lane was suitable for which play style.

He was teaching Yu Xinche while beating him, and time passed by unknowingly.

The next day the team would travel to other cities to prepare for the competition the next day.

It was already past nine o’clock in the evening when they arrived at the hotel. They hurriedly ate and returned to their respective rooms.

When staying in a hotel, two people usually stay in a room so they can take care of each other.

The last time I went to North City, Yu Xinche lived in a room with Xiao Ou, while He Ci lived in a room with Xu Le.

It was the same this time, Xiao Ou and Yu Xinche had both been assigned beds, and He Ci came over.

He said to Xiao Ou, “You sleep next door.”

“Ah?” Yu Xinche and Xiao Ou were both stunned.

He Ci looked at the laptop on Yu Xinche’s desk, and the HIT client was already open.

Yu Xinche noticed his gaze and picked up the cup guiltily and took a sip.

He Ci looked at him with a half-smile in his eyes and said, “I’m worried that someone might stay up late, so I’ll supervise him.”

Yu Xinche curled his lips, his plan was discovered. He said “oh” in a cold voice to express his dissatisfaction.

After changing rooms, they both went to take a shower one by one.

The boys were almost done showering, and Yu Xinche was still blow-drying his hair when He Ci came out.

He turned his back to He Ci and changed into a home T-shirt and loose shorts of the same color.

His body swayed slightly during the movements, and his figure was outlined in clear lines under the light.

The legs are straight and long, with just the right amount of muscle lines, not too thick nor too skinny, a kind of healthy beauty.

Most professional players don’t like sports, and are either fat or skinny. He had never seen Yu Xinche like this.

Yu Xinche mentioned when chatting with him that he usually goes to the gym with his roommates, and now he also does some simple exercise every day when he comes to the base.

He Ci didn’t take it seriously before because he also exercised.

It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized intuitively that Yu Xinche was indeed different from other people.
