After the weekend games had ended, Little Rui sent Ye Shaoyang a message: [Ge, can I come backstage to find you?]
Star City's Esports Center was only three stops away from his house, and Little Rui had come to watch the match. When Ye Shaoyang received the news that he was here, he immediately replied: [Okay. Go to the hidden door at the side of the stage and I'll open it for you.]
A moment later, Little Rui reached the door. Ye Shaoyang opened the door to let him in.
Little Rui hugged Ye Shaoyang tightly in excitement, “Ge, you're simply too amazing. You actually entered Group S!”
Ye Shaoyang rubbed his little brother's head gently, “Long time no see. It seems that you've grown taller?”
Qin Rui's eyes curved, “I'm 3cm taller now.”
Chi Shuo went over to where they were and greeted him kindly, “Little Rui, you came.”
Qin Rui let go of Ye Shaoyang and greeted politely, “Hello, Captain Chi.”
He took out a delicately packaged box and handed it to Ye Shaoyang.
“Ge, I handmade some pastries for you. Take it back and eat it as a midnight snack.” Qin Rui whispered.
Ye Shaoyang was touched. He took the box and said, “Thank you.”
He then took out his phone and sent a red envelope to Qin Rui, “I'll give you some pocket money.”
Qin Rui quickly waved his hands, “I don't want it.”
Ye Shaoyang insisted, “Take it. You're still in university and have no source of income. This is something your Ge is giving you.”
Chi Shuo who was on the side also advised him, “Accept your brother's good intentions.”
Qin Rui looked at the transferred amount, his eyes unable to leave the screen, “Isn't this too much?”
Is this noveau riche brother calculating his base unit by 'ten thousand' when he gives pocket money?
Ye Shaoyang continued speaking warmly, “Take it and go spend it. I won't be able to spend much when I'm in the team, whereas you can buy something to eat or use.”
He paused, before reaching into his pocket to take out his handphone and continued, “That's right, the phone that Captain Chi gave me is pretty good. I think your phone is an old model, right? Do you want to buy a new one?”
Qin Rui was stunned. He raised his head and took a look, only to discover Chi Shuo and his brother had identical phones. Chi Shuo's phone was silver while his brother's was gold——was this handphone unexpectedly a gift from Chi Shuo to his brother?
An Alpha gave Omega such an expensive phone, and the two of them were using the same model, with colors that were meant for couples.
Chi Shuo wouldn't happen to be interested in his brother, right?
Qin Rui felt something strange in his heart and secretly looked at Chi Shuo.
Chi Shuo's expression was calm. He looked at Qin Rui with a gentle gaze and the tone he used when speaking was also like that of an older brother, “Your brother was still wondering a few days ago if he should get you a present when we reached Star City for the match. However, we rarely have a chance to go out during the training period and he didn't have time to buy a present. So he directly gave you a red envelope instead. Whatever you want, you can buy it yourself.”
Qin Rui came back to his senses. He looked at Ye Shaoyang and said, “Thank you, Ge. I don't plan on buying a phone for the time being. I'll take this money and apply for a cooking class. I want to learn how to cook Western dishes.”
Just then, Coach Lin walked over and shot a curious look at Qin Rui. Ye Shaoyang introduced him, “This is my little brother, Qin Rui. He came to the live venue to watch our match and even brought us some homemade pastries.”
Coach Lin smiled, “Little Rui, I know you.”
Qin Rui's face turned red, and he said meekly, “The reason why Coach knows me is that I played support badly, right?”
Coach Lin: “Ke ke.”
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
After all, while he was playing as support using the Blessed Priest, he had used a chain to hook himself to his team's jungler who was in stealth and exposed the jungler's location. He indeed played incredibly badly. Coach Lin had a deep impression of Xiao Bai's little brother, Little Rui.
Ye Shaoyang turned and looked at the coach, “Coach, can I have a day off? I want to go home first, then gather at the hotel tomorrow afternoon. My house is only three stops away, so I want to go back and tidy some things up.”
Coach Lin simply said, “No problem, you can go.”
Ye Shaoyang passed the pastries to Captain Chi, “Share it with everyone, my brother made this with us in mind.”
Chi Shuo took the box, “Okay, be careful on the way home.”
Ye Shaoyang left backstage with Little Rui in tow. Little Rui had been staying at Ye Shaoyang's place as it was nearer to his school. As Ye Shaoyang wasn't home, he naturally helped his brother to look after the house. The two took the train and upon reaching home, Ye Shaoyang went to the bathroom to take a shower. Qin Rui went to the study with complicated feelings and turned his laptop on to surf the Internet.
Was Captain Chi and Yang-ge involved in some special situation?
He kept thinking about this on the way home.
As an Omega born and bred, he had always felt that an Omega shouldn't casually accept an Alpha's gift, much less the gift that his older brother had mentioned in passing just now. The price of his phone listed on the official website was twenty-five thousand dollars and was definitely not any ordinary gift.
It was rare for normal friends to give each other such expensive gifts.
Unless it was his boyfriend…
Yang-ge's an Omega while Chi Shuo's an Alpha. The two are together day and night, wasn't it very normal for them to develop feelings for each other?
Although Qin Rui was a noob in playing games, he could still understand what was going on in matches. Tianhuan's mid/jungler duo was very strong. Shuoyue and Lieyang were one of the most tacit duos in this season.
From teammates to lovers, it seems pretty logical?
While Qin Rui let his mind run wild, he searched for 'Shuoyue Lieyang' on the web. In addition to the news that praised Tianhuan's Riyue duo for having great tacit understanding, he also accidentally found a super topic called 'RiyueTonghui'.
Qin Rui clicked into it from curiosity——
【Riyue CP looks really compatible!】
【Congratulations Tianhuan for entering Group S! Everyone, I've discovered that Yueyue would always look back at Yangyang whenever a match is finished. His expression would also be much gentler than the ones he had on when looking at his other teammates——click [Screenshot]】
【In love, in love! His gaze is so doting!】
【He has never looked at Qu Jiang that way before [Doge.jpg]】
【The match that had kicked Yaoguang's ass was commanded by our Yangyang, Yangyang is the coolest Omega, no one else can compare!】
【Tianhuan has two commanders, this is too amazing】
【I'm shipping this strong duo's love to death. Advance, advance to the world championship!】
【Ah ah ah, is the CP that I'm shipping real? They will fight side by side at the world championship, right? Right?】
【When the time comes, let Shuoyue and Lieyang scatter dog food to the world】
Qin Rui: “…”
At first, he thought he was just being doubtful.
But as he looked further down the super topic, the more he felt that maybe there really was something going on between Captain Chi and Yang-ge?
CP fans were especially good at digging out details.
For example, at the match where Chi Shuo's jungler core had made a reappearance, Chi Shuo had turned around and hugged Ye Shaoyang right away.
Another example was Ye Shaoyang changing his phone to the same model that Chi Shuo was using on the day of his birthday.
There were also pictures of the two smiling at each other in the venue's soundproofed room, of when they were huddled together discussing tactics, when they were whispering into each other's ears…
The dedicated CP fans had screenshot all these moments and included them in the super topic.
Whether it was them tacitly facing each other, or the tacit understanding present when they looked and smiled at each other, Chi Shuo's gentle gaze, Ye Shaoyang's dazzling smile. The screenshots that came one after another… were really sweet.
Even Qin Rui felt that the ship was really sweet!
Now that he thought about it, when his brother was still a streamer, Captain Chi would pretend to be a boss and send lots of gifts in his live stream. He had also arranged for them to go to the stadium to watch a match together and also brought him to the training camp for the player trials.
Afterward, to let his brother join Tianhuan, Captain Chi had held his ground, invited his master out to help, and managed to fight for the highest signing fee for a newcomer during the shareholders' meeting. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to his brother.
It can be said that for his brother to have today's achievements, was also because there was Captain Chi on the side guarding and protecting him.
An Alpha silently protecting the Omega and letting the Omega become a professional player as strong as himself. The both of them overcame obstacles together and advanced to Group S, entering the season's playoffs, and aiming for the world championship……
It was really too shippable!
Qin Rui sat there, refreshing the super topic and shipping. The more he shipped, the more excited he became.
He was thinking, if his brother and Captain get married in the future, should he personally make a wedding cake for his brother?
After Ye Shaoyang had finished showering, he went straight to the study as he discovered the light was still on. He saw the webpage's name on Qin Rui's screen was called 'RiyueTonghui' and curiously went up to him.
“RiyueTonghui? Are you looking at Weibo?”
Qin Rui who currently had a guilty conscience was about to close the webpage.
Ye Shaoyang quickly took the mouse from the table and swiftly dragged it down.
Qin Rui originally thought that his brother would be all red in the face and shy after seeing himself and Chi Shuo's CP super topic but in the end, Ye Shaoyang directly laughed out loud, “Hahaha, Captain Chi and I unexpectedly still have CP fans?”
Qin Rui: “…?”
What do you mean 'unexpectedly'?
Wasn't it very logical and natural that the both of you have CP fans?
Ye Shaoyang's current expression was like an old man on the train, looking at his handphone. He sighed while scrolling down, “Tsk, when did they even screenshot this? They can make up a whole movie just from me smiling at Chi Shuo. I truly surrender.”
“And as for the phone, what do they mean couple color? Both of us are men. If we don't get gold and silver, then are we supposed to get pink and green?”
Ye Shaoyang closed the super topic with a face full of smiles and looked at Qin Rui, “You believe in this kind of thing too?”
Qin Rui was dazed, “Ge, you and Captain Chi, are, are you not together?”
“We're just teammates.” Ye Shaoyang answered frankly, then patted his little brother's shoulder and said, “Don't think too much. The phone was a birthday gift from Captain Chi to me. We would usually be busy training, so where would we have the time to think about these matters.”
He turned and continued speaking while walking to the bedroom, “I'll pack some clothes. Little Rui, you should sleep early.”
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
Qin Rui scratched his head in confusion, “Okay.”
The two of you really are just teammates? But the way Chi Shuo looked at you, was indeed really gentle?
After returning to the bedroom, Ye Shaoyang casually picked out some clothes and stuffed them into the bag.
It was already May and summer would soon be arriving in the capital city. The thick clothes he brought last time couldn't be worn anymore and he was too lazy to buy new ones. He directly took advantage of their match being in Star City this time to go home and pack a few summer clothes.
After packing up, he lay in bed playing with his phone.
The curious Ye Shaoyang went to search for the most trending CP in the esports circle. The trending one was actually #RiyueTonghui#, which was his and Captain Chi's CP super topic. The reason being: it was too sweet.
Ye Shaoyang's head was full of question marks.
Him turning back and smiling at Chi Shuo, Chi Shuo hugging him gently——to him, it was all a very normal exchange between teammates, but it was enough to let the CP fans scream in excitement: “So sweet” “I'm shipping” “It's hard for the endgame to not be marriage”
There were even some CP fans there discussing: “What do you think the future child of Yueyue and Yangyang should be called?” “Everyone, I think they can be called Little Ming.” “Combining Riyue will be Mingming.”
Ye Shaoyang: “????”
What the hell, they even went to the topic of children?
A child with Captain Chi? Ye Shaoyang got goosebumps.
He didn't mind CP fans at all. After all, there were also some so-called CP fans in the esports circle in his past life. These were all their hobbies and interests that they indulged in. Some professional players also knew about the CPs they were assigned to, and they would also joke about it with each other at times. No one took the netizens' words seriously and there would also be no one who would interfere.
As long as they kept their CP on the inside and didn't disturb the players' private lives, it didn't matter no matter what they thought.
Ye Shaoyang didn't mind it, they can say whatever they want. However, will Chi Shuo be angry after seeing all this? Chi Shuo's personality was more serious and cold after all. He didn't like people making a joke about him.
Just as Ye Shaoyang was thinking that, his phone suddenly lit up.
It was Chi Shuo's message: [Are you at home?]
Ye Shaoyang replied: [Mn, just finished packing my things.]
Chi Shuo: [Rest early, you can sleep in tomorrow.]
Chi Shuo: [Oh right, I've shared the pastries Little Rui made with everyone else. They all liked it very much. Especially Old Qin, he had even eaten five pieces and now he's bloated.]
Ye Shaoyang suppressed his laughter: [What about you? Have you tasted it?]
Chi Shuo: [I don't like eating sweet food. I left my portion for you. It's in the refrigerator, you can eat it when you come back tomorrow.]
Ye Shaoyang replied: [Okay. Thank you, Captain Chi.]
Right at this moment, his phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
Ye Shaoyang answered the phone and a soft female voice greeted from the other end, “Hello, may I know if this is Mr. Ye Shaoyang?”
Ye Shaoyang thought the voice sounded a little familiar and subconsciously replied, “Yes.”
The woman continued, “I'm Doctor Xue from the Capital City's Central Hospital. I called you for a follow-up on your situation. May I know if your pheromones have been stable lately?”
