When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and the barrage of comments was filled with question marks.
【?????】
【What are you singing today??】
【Ah? You can still play like this?!】
【I surrender, you really love him】
【very loving】
【I am BREEZE and I feel great】
【I am a BREEZE fan, I am also happy】
【Thank you, Prince. Finally someone is here to support our Xiao Yu.】
Before anyone could react, Kong Zhiyi took the microphone from He Ci and said expressionlessly, “Very handsome Tide, with clear ideas. 5151, his future is promising.”
【????】
【You are also possessed?】
【Playing professionally delayed my brothers’ debut】
【You are doing this on purpose, right?】
Then Xiao Ou said: “Ahem, the four of us came all the way from Jiangcheng on purpose, and BREEZE’s performance was worth our plane tickets.”
There was laughter from the audience.
【???】
【???? A loyal fan who came all the way from Jiangcheng to play in the game, right?】
【Hahahahaha you understood the assignment】
【This is not a character OOC!]
BURN: “Keep going, I believe you will play better and better.”
【The honest character doesn’t collapse】
【Guys, I’m crying】
【The strongest sense of team spirit episode】
Yu Xinche was not as nervous as he was when he was playing the game just now. He turned his head and looked at his four teammates with emotion, wanting to interact with them with his eyes to express his gratitude.
As a result, these four people pretended to be together, all looking straight at the camera with stern faces, looking very cool.
He Ci noticed that he was looking at him and reminded him: “Why are you looking at me? Look at the camera.”
Yu Xinche: “…”
You guys have acted so well, can’t I just watch?
The host asked Yu Xinche if he had anything to say to his teammates.
The microphone was passed from BURN to him one by one. Yu Xinche’s mind went blank for a moment. After two seconds, he said, “Thank you for your support and encouragement, my teammates. I am honored and happy. I will work hard to improve. They have said a lot of nice things just now, so I will repay them with actions.”
【《Big picture thinker》】
【The most official sounding one is actually you, the newcomer】
【You will take the interview for Xiao Ou for the World Championship in the future】
【High emotional intelligence: I’ll prove it with my actions】
【Low EQ: These four are so pretentious, I don’t know what else to say】
“Okay, we are also looking forward to BREEZE’s next wonderful performance.” The host looked at them and confirmed, “Do you have anything else you want to add now?”
TZ shook their heads.
“Then our game ends here. There will be other teams’ games to watch at 7 o’clock!”
They bowed and left work.
After arriving at the backstage lounge, Xu Le patted Xiao Ou on the head and said, “You are so naughty.”
Xiao Ou was not convinced: “He Ci said it all, I can only improvise.”
Yu Xinche looked at He Ci: “What do you mean?”
He Ci found a sofa and sat down, pinching his right wrist and moving it gently. Hearing this, he shook his head at him, meaning that it was nothing.
Playing AD was quite demanding, and he and Kong Zhiyi were also responsible for team command, so each game was very exhausting.
After every training session and game, he didn’t talk much, and gaves off an aura of “don’t disturb me”, as if he had entered power-saving mode.
The command needed to talk constantly. After two games, He Ci and Kong Zhiyi’s voices became a little hoarse. Yu Xinche poured water for them. Kong Zhiyi took it and thanked him. He Ci didn’t take it, but signaled with his eyes that he can just put it aside.
He Ci usually got up from his seat to get a drink of water after a training match. Yu Xinche guessed that it wasn’t that he didn’t want to drink water at this moment, but he was simply too lazy to reach out to take the cup.
But seeing that his lips were a little dry, Yu Xinche decided to hold on and he handed the cup to He Ci’s mouth.
He Ci looked up at him, expressionless, with the corners of his eyes drooping, giving him a decadent temperament.
Yu Xinche also looked down at him, blinked, and joked: “Aren’t you my fan? You don’t even drink the water I poured for you.”
After a stalemate of one or two seconds, He Ci reached out to take the cup, smiled lightly, and drank the water.
Xiao Ou came over and counted on his fingers to explain the problem to Yu Xinche: “We originally agreed that each of us would say one sentence, hello everyone, I am a fan of Breeze, he played very well today, I hope he will continue to do well in the future. Four sentences, we got just enough.”
“In the end, he said three sentences by himself. I was really impressed.”
Yu Xinche turned his head to look at He Ci, who was still holding the cup in his hand. He only said lightly: “I said it all subconsciously.”
“Classic backstabbing of a teammate.” CONTROL pointed. He was the one who spoke right after He Ci and didn’t have much reaction time to the changes.
“Impromptu performance? Brother Yi, you can also rhyme it, that’s amazing.” Yu Xinche praised sincerely.
BURN: “You don’t understand. E-sports and rap are the best medical aesthetics for men. Brother C must master them all.”
CONTROL: “You’re the only one who talks too much.”
Their game today was in the afternoon and it ended at a little after six o’clock.
The next game was in five days, so it wasn’t too urgent. TZ rarely came to the North City, so they all went out to play after the game.
The five team members discussed it and took a taxi to a popular roast duck restaurant.
North City’s roast duck was quite famous, and some tourists from other places even packed up two to take home.
But he heard that the taste was not as good as imagined. After all, this dish was popular all over the country and everyone had eaten it in Jiangcheng.
The store they came to was very large, and its antique decoration had a unique charm.
Walking around the half screen in the hall, Yu Xinche saw a small stage where two people in Peking Opera costumes were performing in a humming voice.
There were a few old men on one side of the stage playing erhu, gongs and drums as accompaniment.
Xu Le helped to reserve a window seat in advance, and they ordered two plates of duck and some side dishes.
After ordering, the waiter asked if the duck needed to be prepared at the seat, and they said yes.
They came here just for this duck show, of course it was necessary.
The food was served very slowly. Everyone was very tired after playing a game, so they didn’t chat and just kept their heads down and checked their phones for a while.
He Ci only allowed the officials to set fires. [footnote]只许州官放火” (zhǐ xǔ zhōu guān fàng huǒ) translates to “only the local officials are allowed to set fire.”, used to criticize double standards or hypocrisy in authority.[/footnote]. He doesn’t allow Yu Xinche to read the forum, but he himself was reading it with great interest.
HIT Assistant had a corresponding forum discussion area, where excellent posts would be selected and posted.
These posts all came from a special forum APP of HIT.
There were many categories of sections on the APP, including dedicated discussion areas for each team, technical posts and chat posts for discussing daily games, and a chat room for daily chat posts.
He Ci usually starts with a quick glance at the technical postings of the competition.
This was a process of panning for gold in shit. In his eyes, most of the content discussed by netizens was nonsense. Either he had already realized the corresponding problem, or the level of the people discussing it was too low, so he just disdained it.
However, if you are lucky, you may run into one or two netizens with unique insights, and their insights would give He Ci inspiration for the game.
He’s not very lucky today. He read five posts but got nothing.
He went to the chit-chat section instead.
The players of HIT were very talented and would tailor-make highly suitable memes for each contestant.
The nickname that appears most frequently in the forum for He Ci was “Prince”, and the most common joke was “a version ahead” –
He Liangye, one of the founders of HIT, was his cousin. Because of this relationship, he had already come into contact with the foreign version of HIT before it was launched on the national server.
This was something he foolishly revealed when he was a naive rookie. After that, everyone knew that he was the prince, and they jokingly said that the first privilege of the prince was to play HIT about one version earlier than all the players in the national server.
But today no one was scolding him, instead they are using this joke to praise him.
【Fan Diary: Today, Prince is one version ahead of me again. I have already bought tickets for the next TZ game to cheer for BREEZE, but Prince got there first. Damn it, damn it, damn it!]
【The prince is still the prince, hahaha】
【You don’t say, today’s operation is really pretty good】
【He really treats this support different from the previous support, who knows】
【Did you listen to the microphone records from the previous match that were released? His voice became lower when he talked to the support】
【Is there a possibility that he has become hoarse from conducting too much?】
【I can still tell the difference between a hoarse voice and a gentle tone.】
【…I don’t care. I really ship them.】
【? Calm down】
【It’s really good. From the bidding till now, how many things has He Ci done that are not in line with his personality? Is it possible for him to do this to other teammates?】
What followed was a large discussion of his CP with Yu Xinche. He Ci himself couldn’t even count the number of CPs that fans had supported, and a conservative estimate was that at least one-third of the league’s players had been paired with him.
Although he repeatedly stressed that it was all fake, it couldn’t stop people from shipping it.
He cannot change the masses, he could only change himself and get used to it.
Skipped the posts about CP, there are still a few posts about shipping the team spirit.
【Not only the prince loves Xiao Yu, but everyone else likes him too】
【Yes, my friend and I were all stunned in front of the screen at that time. Except for Xiao Ou, the other three people didn’t look like people who would do such a thing.】
【Soft-hearted】
【As TZ OT5 fan, I think it is very reasonable]
【? Details】
【These four are the kind of people who are stubborn. This can be seen from the fact that BC quarrels every day, and Xiao Ou never calls He Ci brother. As for He Ci, it is well known that the young master looks down on everyone here equally.】
【Their relationship is such that no one can bow their head to the other】
【But Xiao Che has a high emotional quotient and is very good at speaking. Watching the team live broadcast, you can tell that he is flexible and willing to say nice things to make his four older brothers happy.】
【They have never been treated like this before, so it is normal for them to be controlled!]
【That makes sense!】
【I quickly photoshopped the picture: TZ, it’s a piece of cake!】
He Ci clicked on the picture and couldn’t help laughing when he saw it clearly.
In the picture, Yu Xinche was reaching out to say hello, and the faces of the remaining four teammates and Xu Le were photoshopped onto his five fingers, with the caption:
It’s easy to control TZ.
Yu Xinche was still sitting next to him. He looked up from his phone when he heard the voice: “What are you laughing at?”
He Ci didn’t show it to him: “I don’t think you want to know.”
“?”
Yu Xinche subconsciously wanted to say “I don’t believe it”, but He Ci’s eyes carried the kind of cunning and ridicule that he was very familiar with, and it was obvious that he was waiting for him to say he didn’t believe it.
Yu Xinche looked at him for a moment and said tactfully: “In that case, I won’t see it.”
He Ci raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, but quickly found a new solution.
He lowered his head and tapped the screen twice, and the phones of several people present received a message alert.
He looked at Yu Xinche again, with a hint of pride in his eyes: “I also think other people would like to know.”
“??”
Yu Xinche felt like He Ci was cheating at this moment. It was clearly a conversation between the two of them, so why was he using the help of someone else?
However, it was He Ci’s freedom to send messages to anyone, so his idea was actually unreasonable.
So he just thought about it himself, then unlocked his phone and opened the group chat.
He saw his own meme and several forum screenshots.
This time the meme were no longer cute, but Yu Xinche, as the protagonist, only felt more ashamed.
What being in control? He was a new player but he had four seniors and a manager in his hands. How dare the fans do that?
– Xiao Ou: You got me, yes
– CONTROL: Xiao Yu is indeed very emotionally intelligent and is much more talkative than our top laner and jungler
BURN: He can talk better than you
Unexpectedly, the three teammates across the table continued the conversation in the group after reading it. Yu Xinche’s cheeks began to feel hot for the first time in a long time. He wanted to give up the meal and leave here right now.
Fortunately, the food was served at this time.
A fat chef came over with a cart with a rack on it and two roast ducks. He greeted them and started slicing the ducks on the spot.
The chef had a skilled technique and his movements are quick and neat. He slices the duck without any delay and then places it on a plate for the table.
Everyone was hungry, so they immediately forgot about Yu Xinche’s meme and started eating.
The duck skin was roasted very crispy, and after being dipped in the sauce, it had a slightly sweet taste, which was delicious.
As for the duck meat, Yu Xinche felt that it tasted just average, similar to what he usually ate.
But since he was here, he had to enjoy it. He picked up a piece of wrap, carefully wrapped the duck meat, cucumber and green onion shreds in it, then dipped it in the sauce and took a big bite.
Maybe it was because of the sense of ritual, he was very satisfied with this bite, even the duck meat became delicious!

They were not in a hurry to return the next day. There were many scenic spots in the North City, so everyone planned to stay one more day so that colleagues who were not busy could take the opportunity to visit the scenic spots.
The five team members trained with laptops in the hotel for an entire afternoon and played a BO3 training match before coming out to eat.
TZ was wealthy and had booked a hotel near a well-known national stadium.
They decided to go to the stadium in the evening, and have dinner at a seafood restaurant next to it that specialised in king crabs.
There are several large pools at the entrance of the restaurant, with fish, shrimps, crabs and other seafood.
This restaurant was very luxurious and everyone wanted to try the king crab. In the end, eleven people joined in total, including the team members.
The table was more than two metres long in the private room, and all kinds of seafood were served on the table one after another, which was dazzling.
There was a plate of prawns in front of Yu Xinche and He Ci. Yu Xinche picked up one and wanted to eat it himself, but noticed out of the corner of his eye that He Ci’s fingers seemed to be trembling slightly.
Yu Xinche suddenly remembered that He Ci didn’t seem to have eaten much food that needed to be peeled during this meal. He always picked up food that was already processed and could be put directly into his mouth.
The intensity of the afternoon training match was quite high. The last game lasted for almost an hour. He Ci was still playing a traditional AD who relied on normal attacks to deal damage.
He came here right after the game and it’s been less than half an hour since the game ended, so his hands must still be tired.
Yu Xinche pursed his lips, put on a new pair of gloves and peeled the shrimp carefully.
Put it on He Ci’s plate.
He Ci was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and stared at him.
Yu Xinche didn’t look at him: “No need to thank me, I was just trying to control my teammates.”
T/n: Is it me or they keep eating loll XD
