BXBX NOVEL Chapter 60: My boss is my captain?!
Then, he picked up his jacket and strode out the door.
Little Ning was very curious. He poked his granny gray head out to look and said, “It turns out that Brother Xiao has a girlfriend already, hey.”
Respect, respect, Quiet was a winner at life!
Bai Cai: “……”
Yue Wenle was also quite curious, “I couldn’t tell. I thought he would spend his entire life soloing.”
Bai Cai’s hand shook, and he thought to himself: Old Yue, you’re 0.01 seconds away from touching on the truth!
Old Bai, who really knew too much, felt very hollow, “Come and triple queue.”
The two of them agreed at the same time. Ning Zhehan wanted to continue gossiping while they queued, “Brother Cai, is Brother Xiao’s girlfriend pretty?”
17 or 18 year old children were too interested in this kind of thing, so he couldn’t help but ask.
The great demon king’s cold and handsome face floated across Bai Cai’s mind, “… Good looking.”
Who would f*cking dare say that Close wasn’t good looking? Tens of thousands of madame fans would boot you all the way out to outer space if you wanted to give it a try!
Ning Zhehan spoke the words in his heart, “Respect, respect.”
Bai Cai’s mouth twitched: There’s really no need!
Triple queueing for a high ranked match was really slow. Yue Wenle also spoke up, “Are they a college schoolmate?”
They all knew about Wei Xiao’s educational background, and not only were they shocked, they also understood a little bit––just based on this kid’s enthusiasm, was there anything he couldn’t do well?!
Bai Cai shook his head, “No.”
Ning Zhehan: “High school classmate?”
Ah, he was even more full of respect. Ning Zhehan also had a crush on a goddess, but his goddess hated internet addicted youths QAQ.
Bai Cai could only continue to be vague, “They’re working.”
Yue Wenle was surprised, “The grandmaster’s really capable.”
He’d even managed to find an older woman!
Bai Cai couldn’t keep this up anymore, “I don’t know much either. If you’re curious, then ask him about it tomorrow.”
Ning Zhehan was very innocent and naive, “Mm! I’ll find a chance to ask him about it tomorrow.”
Bai Cai: “……………”
Was he really going to ask? Unfortunately, the words that had been spoken were like water that had already been spilled out, and Brother Cai couldn’t collect it back again.
Forget it, forget it, getting to watch Wei Xiaoxiao be embarrassed was also something to be amused over.
Wei Xiao rushed all the way back to the room and pushed open the door just in time to see Lu Feng undressing.
The hotel lights hit the man vertically from above, and the lights and shadows outlined the solid back like a beautiful oil painting that was filled with a sense of power.
Lu Feng’s actions paused for a moment when he heard the noise. Then, he took off his T-shirt completely and turned to look at the door.
Sexy collarbones, a powerful chest, and one two three four five six seven eight ab muscles.
Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment, “Captain…”
Lu Feng leaned over and picked up his bathrobe, “Yes?”
Wei Xiao forgot what he’d come for and blurted out, “How did you train those?”
They were both internet addicted youths. How come the gap between them was so big!
Wei Xiao wanted to lift up his clothes and take a look at himself!
Lu Feng: “Get up early every day to exercise. You could do it too.”
Wei Xiao shook his head frantically, “No, it’s better to die early than to get up early.”
Lu Feng: “The body is the capital for revolution.”
Wei Xiao shook his head even more fiercely, “Our revolution doesn’t require those eight ab muscles.”
Lu Feng paused for a moment and didn’t say anything else.
Wei Xiao was the type to reach out for a yard after gaining an inch. He closed the door behind him and came close, stretching out a hand to poke with, “F*ck, this is really the limit!”
It was really damned amazing. Even men found him handsome, so it was no wonder so many female fans wanted to marry him.
Lu Feng reached down and caught his wrist.
Wei Xiao was stunned.
Lu Feng’s voice deepened slightly, “You’re someone with a girlfriend…”
Wei Xiao lifted his head to look at him, “Ah.”
He was about to develop a girlfriend phobia. Every time he heard this word, his heart was about to crack apart from guilt!
Lu Feng’s lips curved, “So, don’t act like a rogue.”
Wei Xiao: “!”
Lu Feng released his hand and headed to the bathroom, “I’m going to take a bath.”
After being left in a muddled daze for three seconds, Wei Xiao came back to his senses.
F*ck!
He’d been teased by the captain!
Oh, that wasn’t right, he’d teased the captain first.
Ummm… Wei Xiao’s desire for victory was about to explode: he hadn’t made a loss!
He only remembered now that he’d come back to talk about proper things. Now, the captain had gone to take a bath. He definitely couldn’t just shout through the door and could only continue to wait.
Wei Xiao looked around everywhere, but he couldn’t find Lu Feng’s phone.
He wouldn’t be able to use the method of sending a message to test things out.
At this time, his cell phone beeped. Wei Xiao quickly bowed his head to look; it really was his ‘girlfriend’.
LU: “Is training over?”
Wei Xiao stared at the message for a long time, then lifted his head to look at the bathroom…
The sound of water could be heard; the captain was definitely taking a bath. So, had he really had overthought things, and the boss and captain were two separate people?
It was just that they were both surnamed Lu, and they both happened to be rich and generous, and both just so happened to treat him very well?
To hell with coincidence!
When he thought about the matter of private spending money and how obvious the implication had been, the truth was as naked and blatant as the captain who’d taken off his clothes!
Wei Xiao pressed down the urge to go and push open the bathroom door.
They were all men and didn’t have many scruples, but the other party was bathing and barging in like that was very rude.
Wei Xiao wouldn’t do something so disgusting.
He tested his hypothesis patiently, “I just finished training. Brother Lu hasn’t gone to sleep yet?”
LU: “No rush.”
Wei Xiao: “Wanna play?”
LU: “In the bath, can’t play.”
Wei Xiao turned his head around with a swish and looked towards the captain in the bathroom.
Damn it, did these two people even bathe together?!
Could there be such a coincidence?
Wei Xiao was already 99% certain in his heart, but he didn’t dare to admit it. “Hahaha, you’re still playing with your cell phone while taking a bath. Could it be that you’re soaking in the tub?”
LU: “Shower.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
LU added, “The phone is waterproof.”
Wei Xiao cracked, “Captain…”
LU: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “………………”
He called out directly, “Captain!”
Lu Feng hadn’t gone to take a bath at all. He came out in his bathrobe, “You can continue calling me Brother Lu.”
Wei Xiao was stupefied for a moment, then fell back with a plop and collapsed on the bed.
Lu Feng’s eyes and the corner of his lips were full of laughter that couldn’t be hidden away, “But drop the ‘girlfriend’, the term’s gender is wrong.”
Wei Xiao: “…………”
Don’t ask. If you ask, then he was already dead and it was time to burn paper offerings.
Lu Feng left his cell phone outside and went back to really take a bath.
Wei Xiao glanced at it. The screen was bright and shiny and filled with the chat logs of their conversations.
Okay…
It was confirmed…
There was no need to doubt it…
There couldn’t be this many coincidences in this world. His boss and his captain were the same person.
Oh, his girlfriend and his other girlfriend were also the same person!
Wei Xiao thought about all the things that had happened in the past and couldn’t help closing his eyes. He tilted his head and feigned death.
By the time Lu Feng came back outside, still wiping his hair, what he saw was the Wei Xiaoxiao who was pretending to be a corpse.
“Go wash up.”
Wei Xiao flopped up like a carp and was seated in a cross-legged position on the bed in seconds, “Captain!” His voice was unusually sad and indignant.
Lu Feng looked at him.
Wei Xiao had already recovered. He accused, “You’ve been deceiving me the whole time!”
He’d really been duped badly. What accompanying player, what boss, what Brother Lu? It had all been his captain toying around with him!
Lu Feng had already decided to come clean, so he had naturally also planned to have a good talk with him about it, “If I didn’t do that, would I have been able to contact you?”
His voice was a little heated, like the steam in the bathroom.
Wei Xiao opened his mouth and couldn’t say a word.
Lu Feng’s next sentence really was intended as a joke, “You’d already gone to New Oriental to pursue your dreams. Shouldn’t I be careful when feeling things out?”
Wei Xiao: “……”
The waves he’d stirred up back then had already turned to water in his mind that was about to burst out again in the form of tears!
Lu Feng explained, “I was afraid that if I contacted you directly, you would hide from me.”
So, he’d used the ID LU and spent two million to buy ten thousand games with an accompanying player.
Those who knew about this matter all thought that the reason why Lu Feng had used two million was because Wei Xiao’s signing fee back then had been two million.
But in fact, that wasn’t it. Lu Feng had bought ten thousand games only because the accompanying player platform had restrictions and that was the maximum number of games that could be purchased at a time.
Two years ago, Close had scraped everything together and could only offer Wei Xiao two million.
Two years later, LU had been limited by the platform and could only buy ten thousand games.
When Lu Feng said it like that, how could Wei Xiao not understand?
At the time, he hadn’t gotten over his grandmother’s death. His heart was filled with thoughts of escaping and hiding away, and it would have been impossible for him to play professionally. If Close had really contacted him directly, Wei Xiao might not have dared to continue as an accompanying player. From then on, he would have stayed away from Glory and focused on becoming a good and honest teacher.
However, Lu Feng used the ID LU to approach him, guide him, and comfort him, giving him the guidance and support from a male elder that he’d lacked from childhood.
The captain had gone to great lengths to bring him back.
Back to FTW, back to the competition arena he loved, back to the starting point of his dream.
Wei Xiao’s heart was as hot as a heated iron, and his voice grew soft, “Then, after I returned to the team, you…”
Lu Feng laughed quietly, “I did want to come clean, but you talked about having a girlfriend every time. If I admitted it, wouldn’t you have run off again?”
Wei Xiao: “……”
He would’ve. He would have put a huge rocket on his back and flown up into the sky, shooting himself directly out into the universe.
Seeing how uncomfortable Wei Xiao looked, Lu Feng shifted to another topic, “One year ago, was it you who suggested that Bai Cai come to FTW?”
Wei Xiao nodded, “At the time, Old Bai had lost heart and insisted on going back to his hometown. I told him to come find you and give it a try.”
Lu Feng’s voice was very light, “Thank you.”
Wei Xiao looked up abruptly, “Ah?”
Thanks for what? If thanks were going to be said, then he should be thanking the captain for Old Bai.
If it hadn’t been for FTW taking Bai Cai in, Bai Cai would’ve gone home to raise pigs back then!
Lu Feng sat across from him and said slowly, “FTW’s performance was really bad in 2019. During the transfer period, only Tang Chen and I were left in the team.”
Wei Xiao’s eyes suddenly opened wide.
That was FTW’s darkest time.
The Team of Gods disbanded in 2017. In 2018, Close took advantage of the momentum to lead FTW to the global competition. Although they were stopped at the knockout stages, it wasn’t the worst result.
2019 was their most miserable year. FTW’s shortcomings were fully exposed, and the entire China competition zone was in a slump. In the global competition, surrounded by strong opponents everywhere, FTW wasn’t even able to make it out of the preliminaries and had been cursed and scolded by fans after returning home.
At the time, FTW’s three newcomers were all in a state of mental collapse.
There was too much pressure. Just being teammates with Close had given them a lot of pressure, and the pressure only mounted when they couldn’t make any achievements. When they came back home and had to face online public opinion, it made them even more uncomfortable and closed up.
This didn’t just apply to ‘normal’ people. Even Tang Chen, who was steady and big hearted, had deleted his Weibo and closed his live broadcast during that time period. He didn’t dare to meet anyone.
As soon as the transfer period arrived, the three newcomers listed themselves up one after another, preferring to go to unknown, bottom ranked teams than to stay in FTW.
At the time, FTW was really short on people and stretched to the limits.
When Bai Cai came, Close had been extremely dumbfounded.
Close had no impression of this skinny and pitiful youth in front of him, but he saw a familiar eagerness in his eyes.
He was eager to play, eager to compete, and filled with the desire to win.
Like Wei Xiao.
Bai Cai said, “Can you let me have a chance? I can be your support player.”
Lu Feng had been slightly stunned, “Okay.”
At a time when FTW was most short of people, Bai Cai’s arrival was timely, allowing the withered desert to sprout new shoots.
Bai Cai was very excellent and was especially well suited for Close.
The two of them had obviously never met before or trained together, but it seemed as though Bai Cai had double queued with him countless times. He’d been very familiar with his operation habits.
Chen Feng had also been curious about it, and then he thought, “He’s probably one of your fans.”
Fan?
A fan who primarily played support, who’d watched countless Close games and understood Close so well?
Lu Feng couldn’t come up with any other possibilities, so he could only believe that that was the case.
Now, they’d finally found the answer.
Wei Xiao’s heart clenched when he heard this.
Over these two years, what exactly had FTW experienced? No… the question should be, how much pressure had Close had to bear?!
Lu Feng thanked him sincerely, “Thank you for having Bai Cai come here.”
What he’d done had allowed them to pull FTW up, and only then would they have the Yue Wenle that had been discovered by Bai Cai from their second team, and only then could FTW achieve the domestic championship in 2020.
Wei Xiao was awkward and embarrassed, “I’m the one who should thank you for taking such good care of Old Bai.”
Over the past year, regardless of whether it was his body or his mental outlook, Bai Cai seemed to be like a completely new person. What had caused it?
It was the cold-faced, soft-hearted Close, the healthy environment of FTW, and all the warm people around him.
“Besides,” Wei Xiao continued, “Bai Cai has now begun to support me instead.”
It was really interesting. One year ago, in order to help Bai Cai partner with Close, he’d pulled him into frenzied training so that he could keep up with Close.
Bai Cai had then followed Close and played professionally for a year, and now he was starting to cooperate with Wei Xiao again.
Things had come a full circle.
Wei Xiao’s wild thoughts began to take over again, “Captain! Don’t you think that Brother Cai’s like a thread that ties us together!”
Lu Feng: “…….”
After saying so, Wei Xiao suddenly seemed to wake up, “F*ck! It’s Old Bai! He’s the one who sold me out!”
There was no avoiding this; previously, the captain hadn’t known about his and Bai Cai’s secret cooperation at all. How else would he suddenly know about it?
It must have been that Bai Cai had sold him out.
That bastard kept saying that he didn’t know anything, but actually, he knew everything?
The fact that his boss was his captain. He’d known about it from the start?
He’d been lying to him the whole time!
Wei Xiao blew up. He couldn’t do anything to the captain, but Brother Vegetable was done for. If he didn’t strip off a layer of his skin, then he’d write his name backwards, from Wei Xiaoxiao to Xiaoxiao Wei!
Lu Feng: “…………”
He’d only thought about coming clean and had completely forgotten about Bai Cai.
Seeing that Wei Xiao was about to rush out the door, Lu Feng held him back, “It’s already late, what are you kicking up a fuss for.”
Wei Xiao was going crazy, “I dug out my heart and lungs for that Vegetable, yet he turned around and sold me out so completely. Today, I…”
Lu Feng was conscious that he was in the wrong and compromised, “How about we have another solo game?”
A certain person who’d originally been about to run off in a frenzy immediately quieted down.
Lu Feng was a little regretful.
Wei Xiao turned up his nose, “Two games.”
For the sake of covering up his mistake, Lu Feng nodded.
Wei Xiao was insatiable, “Five games!”
Lu Feng: “… Alright.”
Wei Xiaoxiao had indeed been somewhat wronged today.
Wei Xiao’s eyes shifted, and his lion’s mouth opened up wide, “Speaking of which…”
Lu Feng raised his eyebrows.
Wei Xiao wasn’t afraid of him and spoke very reasonably, “It should be 9991 games!”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Wei Xiao was very impressed with himself, “Brother Lu, you purchased ten thousand games with an accompanying player. I have the records.”
Lu Feng was silent for a moment, “I remember you wanted to refund them.”
Wei Xiao clung to his cell phone, “You’re the one who told me not to do it!”
Lu Feng: “I regret it now.”
Wei Xiao was delighted, “Too late!”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Lu Feng tried to hold back but finally failed to do so and flicked Wei Xiao’s forehead, “Fine, don’t go and make trouble with Bai Cai.”
Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, “Captain, does that mean that you’re selling yourself to save a vegetable?”
Lu Feng: “…….”
Wei Xiao instantly became sour, “Captain, you really love Brother Vegetable, hey.”
Juurensha: …hahahaha, they’re both hilarious. (Also, Lu Feng you minx! Stripping off your shirt and giving Wei Xiao a show!)
xiin: ahhhhh LF spoils WX so much so much so much so much
