WCG Chapter 94.2

In a daze, Jiang Shi wandered too close to the enemy support. The opponent paused for a moment before unloading a full combo on him, forcing Jiang Shi to flee with a panicked Flash.  

[?What is this Little White Hair doing?]  

[Used to sneak glances at Xu while switching screens, now he’s just openly staring at the guy next to him, huh?]  

[I suggest you focus on the game. I’m here to learn skills.]  

Jiang Shi tried to rein in his thoughts, but as soon as he was near Xie Xu, his mind started running wild again. If that heart rate monitor were on, he was sure it would’ve spiked past 170 already.  

Watching Xie Xu quietly lying in ambush in the bushes, Jiang Shi instinctively wanted to move closer— only to accidentally Flash on the spot. On the minimap, their icons overlapped perfectly, inseparable.  

Jiang Shi fell silent.  

Something wasn’t right.  

More accurately, the feeling from last night still hadn’t faded.  

Xie Xu didn’t seem entirely focused either, and the two suffered a crushing defeat in their first match.  

Jiang Shi decisively left the duo queue with Xie Xu. “Captain, I’m not in good form today, I won’t drag you down.”  

After saying that, he stomped out of the training room, locked himself in the restroom, and threw a set of military punches at the air to release his energy and calm himself down.  

When he returned, Jiang Lele happened to send him an invite to queue. Jiang Shi accepted without hesitation.  

After playing normally for a while, he finally cleared his head of those yellow thoughts. Just as he was about to secure a kill, Jiang Lele suddenly said, “T Bao, your fans came to my stream asking if you were the one who bit the captain’s lip.”  

Jiang Shi misfired all his skills and was nearly counter-killed.  

No matter how much you guarded against outsiders, it was always the traitor at home who got you.  

Jiang Lele, still nosy, leaned over to look at Xie Xu with a gossipy expression. “Captain, did your lip really get injured?”  

That intense? He’d thought Jiang Shi was the type to faint just from a kiss.  

Jiang Lele was about to say more when suddenly, a dazzling special effect flashed across his stream.  

“Huh? T Bao, you’re in my stream?”  

The moment he finished speaking, Jiang Shi, now prominently framed by a flashy, high-tier donation banner, sent an image.  

It was a picture of Jiang Lele drunk last night, kowtowing to a tree and howling.  

“Damn it, Little White Hair, why did you post my ugly photo!” Jiang Lele yelped.  

He fumbled to delete the picture, but it was too late. The chat was already full of laughter. 

[Precise counterattack.]  

[This picture was posted in Time’s stream before. Kid acted all nonchalant back then, but turns out he secretly saved it.]  

[Hahaha, Lele’s image is ruined.]  

[Thanks to Time’s fans for the gift. Another meme added to the collection~]  

Seeing there was no salvaging the situation, Jiang Lele gave up and weakly asked, “So… you really bit him?”  

Jiang Shi: “…”  

He tried to keep a straight face and deny it. “No.”  

“He probably just bumped into something after drinking last night. Or maybe… Xiao Hei scratched him.”  

“As if,” Jiang Lele rolled his eyes, then turned to Xie Xu for confirmation. “Captain, you say.”  

Xie Xu, watching matches of Korean teams, didn’t even lift his head. “Mm, Xiao Hei scratched me.”  

Jiang Lele glanced between the two of them, then at himself, and posed a soul-searching question: “Do I look like an idiot?”  

Jiang Shi cooperatively gave him a look, then seriously nodded.  

[Hahaha, what kind of nemesis duo is this? I’m dying of laughter!]  

[Lele, stop digging your own grave. You can’t beat that Little White Hair.] 

[But are T Bao and Xu really not dating? The way they act is so sweet, I thought they were already together.]  

[Probably not, right? If Time was dating, wouldn’t he be shouting it from the rooftops?]  

[No, no, even though Xu’s diehard girlfriend fans have dwindled, there are still people who treat him like their actual husband. If they go public, not all the reactions will be positive. They might be concerned about that.]  

[Last time, Xu made it clear that T Bao was his top priority. Whether fans stay or leave, he doesn’t care. He’s not some pretty boy relying on his face to survive.]  

[Then it’s just the little idiot’s problem.]  

[I don’t think Time would hide it if they were together. He’d probably be secretly thrilled.]  

[Don’t be fooled by his innocent face, he’s got a stomach full of tricks. Those fanfics and jokes about him aren’t baseless.]  

Jiang Shi: “……”  

He knew he shouldn’t have started streaming!  

Jiang Shi felt like these viewers were leading him by the nose. He needed to stop panicking every time something related to Xu came up.  

Taking a deep breath, he spoke with a casual tone, “You guys really want to see me and Xu flaunt our relationship that badly? Can you single dogs even handle it?”  

While purchasing equipment, he lazily added, “If we really get together, you all have to send a fireworks gift as wedding money. No one gets out of it, got it?”  

“For now, no believing in rumors, no spreading rumors.”  

His relaxed attitude actually managed to fool most of the chat.  

[From the way he’s talking, they probably aren’t dating.]  

[But… Xu’s lips…]  

[Maybe it really was the cat.]  

Under the table, Jiang Shi crossed one leg over the other and had barely started bouncing his foot when someone knocked on his knee.  

Xie Xu: “Don’t cross your legs.”  

Jiang Shi sulkily put his foot down.  

After some training, Jiang Shi followed Xie Xu to get a drink. In the break room, Xie Xu was juicing oranges for him.  

Jiang Shi leaned against the table, watching the oranges, then Xie Xu.  

More precisely — Xie Xu’s lips.  

His injured lips looked even more… sexy.  

Jiang Shi licked his own lips, took advantage of the empty room, and tipped his head up to kiss the corner of Xie Xu’s mouth.  

Xie Xu naturally lowered his head and kissed back.  

Just as Jiang Shi was getting dizzy, heart pounding, and about to deepen the kiss, Xie Xu pulled away. “The cat scratched my lip. Hurts.”  

By the time Jiang Shi snapped out of it, Xie Xu had already walked away, leaving behind a bright golden glass of juice.  

…Had he bitten him again? Was he a dog?  

Would Xie Xu be annoyed at him?

---

In the afternoon, Jiang Shi played solo, with something on his mind and not in a good state. Jiang Lele next to him was playing Spider Solitaire. Jiang Shi took a break after playing a game and opened the browser to search for a few questions.

After reading it, he was speechless. Who picked out these highly praised answers?

‘Forget it, I guess I have to learn from experience for that kind of thing.’

But regardless, Xie Xu’s lips are still injured. Jiang Shi bought some ointment online with same-day delivery. 

He had just placed an order on his mobile phone when the door of the training room was pushed open.

“This is where our players train daily, and every piece of equipment is top-notch.” Yuan Yang introduced to the staff carrying the camera with a smile, “This is also the focus of your interview, right? I believe that the audience in the livestream rarely sees this perspective, seeing our players’ daily training.”

“Lele said today that he is looking forward to meeting everyone.”

The staff of Little Bear TV tactfully gave the camera to Jiang Lele and the Spider Solitaire on Jiang Lele’s desk that he had not had time to collect.

Yuan Yang’s – who was originally smiling like a spring breeze – forehead twitched. He resisted the urge to give Jiang Lele a slap on the spot and smiled to salvage the situation. “I have been too busy recently. It is normal to have some fun occasionally.”

“Time next to me seems to be in the ranking.” Yuan Yang looked at the camera, trying to maintain the dignity of a team coach.

He could hear the click of the mouse.

Jiang Shi was the most diligent in the team. Even if everyone was playing around, Jiang Shi was still in the game. 

At Yuan Yang’s suggestion, the camera was aimed at Jiang Shi as expected.

At this moment, Jiang Shi was frantically pressing the mouse to click the cross, but there were too many search boxes, and he pressed them frequently, so the page was stuck.

The camera accurately captured Jiang Shi’s face on the verge of collapse, as well as his computer interface.

A row of search boxes on the browser.

[How to improve kissing skills?]

[Is it normal to always have a faster heartbeat when kissing and feel like you are going to die?]

[How can I not bite my partner’s lips when kissing?]

The last one has a highly praised answer—

[If you keep biting your partner, it must be because you’re hungry.] 

This answer is even highlighted by the website.
