After the punishment segment ended, the host, Yao Mu, walked to the front of the stage and said loudly, "Next up is the giveaway segment. The five winners of Team Red, please come to the front of our prize wheel and draw for the audience!"
Ye Shaoyang ignored his racing heartbeat and quickly followed Xie Weiyu and the others to the front of the prize wheel.
The prize wheel was an essential part of every All Stars. This year, the Professional Alliance was very generous. Not only did they prepare a large number of limited prizes for the audience, they also prepared a few thousand Legendary skins for the fans who followed All Stars and watched the live broadcast.
This was the Alliance's reward for the fans who supported the eSports competition.
When the audience heard about the prize wheel, they all sat up straight in excitement.
Brother Dong said, "Everyone will draw five lucky audience members. How about Team Captain Lieyang go first?"
Yao Mu said, "The prizes on the prize wheel are all limited prizes. Whatever we draw, we will give the audience a corresponding prize. Let's see how Lieyang's luck is."
Ye Shaoyang stepped forward and spun the prize wheel.
The pointer finally stopped at the "Smart Speaker."
Yao Mu laughed, "Lieyang's luck is very good! He drew [Frost Goddess]'s Smart Speaker. Next, let's invite Team Captain Shuoyue from Tianheng to draw five lucky audience members! "
Chi Shuo walked to Ye Shaoyang's side, took the remote control from Yao Mu, and pressed it. The audience's seat numbers quickly jumped on the big screen. Chi Shuo pressed stop, and the five numbers stopped on the screen.
Yao Mu said, "Congratulations to Team C 611, Team B 331 … the five lucky audience members, please come to the big stage!"
The audience members who drew three men and two women excitedly came to the stage and stood in a row.
Brother Dong gave a simple interview, "Who is your favorite pro player?"
The guy on the far left blushed and said, "I like Sister Xinping the most. Sister Xinping is my goddess."
The girl next to him said generously, "I like Xiao En. His blue eyes are very beautiful."
When he asked the last girl, she took the microphone and said excitedly, "I love Shuoyue and Lieyang the most! I feel that the two players have a special tacit understanding. When they are fighting, their hearts are in sync, as if they are sharing a brain. "
The crowd burst into laughter. The director turned the camera to Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang. Chi Shuo looked calm, while Ye Shaoyang smiled awkwardly and said angrily, "Thank you."
The girl made a cheering gesture. "I'm looking forward to you guys going to the World Series together. Good luck!"
Ye Shaoyang handed her the prize. He stood next to Chi Shuo, but the two of them maintained a friendly distance of half an arm and did not make any eye contact. Ye Shaoyang did not dare to look into Chi Shuo's eyes.
The lucky audience member left the stage. Next, the players went up to draw their prizes. The red team would draw their prizes, while the blue and yellow teams would draw their audience members or draw their skins. When the 15 players finished drawing their prizes, it was already 10 PM.
Yao Mu and Brother Dong walked to the front of the stage side by side and said, "The first day of the All Stars event has come to a successful end. The treasure chest battle mode will be released in the game after the update tonight. Those who like this mode can go to the game's entertainment area to try it out for themselves! "
Brother Dong said, "Thank you to the audience members who came, and thank you to the netizens on the various broadcast platforms for your support of All Stars. See you tomorrow!"
The lights on the stage dimmed, and the players left the stage in an orderly manner.
Ye Shaoyang did not speak to Chi Shuo. He followed Xie Weiyu and walked at the front.
The hotel was not far from the Imperial eSports Center. Under the escort of the security team, the 15 players quickly arrived at the hotel lobby. Ye Shaoyang said goodbye to Xie Weiyu, Chen Qianhua, and the others, and took the elevator back to his room.
After he entered his room and closed the door, he leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh of relief.
His heartbeat had gradually calmed down, but his mind was still a little confused. The look that Chi Shuo gave him on stage seemed to have been engraved in his heart, and he could not forget it.
He picked up his phone and wanted to search for the comments online when he saw a message from Qujiang pop up on his phone screen. "Yangyang, I've sent you a video."
Ye Shaoyang was puzzled. "What video?"
Qujiang said, "A video of Captain Chi singing. I recorded it on stage."
The video he sent was in high definition and was a few hundred megabytes in size. It was currently being sent.
Ye Shaoyang looked at the 20% progress bar and hesitated for a moment before sending a message to Qujiang. "Has Captain Chi sung 'Irreplaceable' before?"
Qujiang replied, "I've never heard him sing before. At the birthday party, everyone urged him to sing, so he sang 'A Friend's Promise.' It was quite nice. "
Therefore, Chi Shuo actually knew a lot of songs. He could have sung other songs in today's punishment segment, but he chose 'Irreplaceable'.
Was it a coincidence or deliberate?
Just as the video was finished transmitting, Ye Shaoyang clicked on it.
Qujiang's position on the big stage was just behind Chi Shuo's side. The video he recorded from a bystander's point of view was very clear. As Ye Shaoyang pressed the play button, Chi Shuo's low and pleasant voice sounded in the quiet room again.
Even if time passes, my face grows old
In my heart
You will always be irreplaceable
Chi Shuo's expression was very serious and gentle when he sang. When he sang the chorus of 'you will always be irreplaceable', he suddenly looked at a corner of the stage.
Ye Shaoyang's breath suddenly stopped.
He knew that the person standing in that corner was none other than himself.
Qujiang's angle just happened to capture this scene. The video taken at close range was very clear. Chi Shuo did not look at anyone during the entire process. He only glanced at Ye Shaoyang. It was very difficult to explain this as a "coincidence."
Ye Shaoyang's heart started beating violently again as he listened to the song on loop. He did not know what to say. Instead, it was Qujiang who chatted with him as if nothing had happened. "Captain Chi sings very well. I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Ye Shaoyang said, "… Yeah."
Qujiang said, "Actually, Captain Chi's mother was a singer when she was young. Now that she has retired from the music industry, she has become a behind-the-scenes music producer. I heard that his mother wanted him to go to a music academy, but he rejected her. His favorite thing is to play video games and be an eSports player. "
Ye Shaoyang casually replied, "He's quite suitable to be an eSports player. If he were to develop in the entertainment industry, with his personality, wouldn't it be difficult for him?"
Qujiang said, "That's right. He's quite stubborn and has always been very persistent when it comes to things that he has decided on. After God Ming retired, Team Yueying offered him a transfer fee of tens of millions. If it were any other player, they would have left already. However, Captain Chi has set his sights on Tianheng. Even though Tianheng's results had fallen to rock bottom, he never once thought of leaving us. "
Ye Shaoyang said, "It's Tianheng's fortune to have a captain like that. I know that everyone respects him very much. Actually, I also admire him very much. It hasn't been easy for him these past few years. "
Qujiang smiled and asked, "It's a good thing that you came to his side. He's really changed a lot this season. He's gentler than before and looks happier than before."
Ye Shaoyang's heart skipped a beat. He did not know how to reply.
Qujiang asked, "Don't you have any other thoughts about Captain Chi?"
Ye Shaoyang quickly said, "What other thoughts could I have? We're just good teammates and partners. My feelings for him are about the same as my feelings for you, Old Qin, and Little Xing. "
Ye Shaoyang did not sound very confident when he said this. He even sounded a little guilty.
How could they be about the same? They were far from it!
After all, Qujiang, Old Qin, and Cheng Xing were purely "teammates" to him. Even if Ye Shaoyang hugged them, he would not think too much about it.
But Chi Shuo was different. What exactly was the difference? Ye Shaoyang could not describe it.
For example, out of his four teammates, the other three were purely brothers with him, but one of them, due to various misunderstandings, had fought with him and had intimate physical contact with him?
So the two of them could not get along as simply friends and could not help but think too much about it.
If his teammates found out about the inside story, it would be even harder to explain.
Fortunately, Qujiang did not ask too much and said, "Get some rest."
After he closed the chat window with Ye Shaoyang, he sent the recorded video to Chi Shuo.
Chi Shuo replied with a question mark: "?"
Qujiang said, "I recorded it. It's from a different angle than the cameraman's, so it's clearer up close."
Chi Shuo knew that Qujiang was a "little editing expert," so he usually liked to record videos.
After all, the All-Stars was not a formal competition, so you could bring your cell phone onstage. When Chi Shuo was performing onstage, Qujiang had casually recorded it, so it was quite normal.
The data was sent very quickly. After Chi Shuo received the video, he clicked on it to take a look. Qujiang's photography skills were really good. There was no shake throughout and the video was very clear.
He discovered that when he could not help but look at Ye Shaoyang, Qujiang happened to record it.
Chi Shuo turned off the video and pretended as if nothing had happened. "It was recorded pretty well. Do you want to consider becoming a reporter in the future?"
Qujiang sent a row of smiley faces. "I'm planning to become a vlogger after I retire and specialize in editing fun videos."
Chi Shuo said, "That's also a way out."
Qujiang suddenly sent a strange message: "Captain Chi, what do you think of Yangyang?"
Chi Shuo was taken aback. "In what way?"
Qujiang: "Let's not talk about his professional skills. How about him as a person?"
Chi Shuo was silent for a moment before replying: "He's pretty good."
Qujiang: "I think he's pretty good too. Yangyang has a lively personality. With him around, I feel very happy every day. Ever since he joined our Tianheng team, the atmosphere on our team has become much more lively and lively than before. "
Thinking of Ye Shaoyang's smile, Chi Shuo could not help but feel a warmth in his heart. He said, "Indeed. After he joined, the Tianhuan Squad changed a lot. The kids on Team 2 have all become his hardcore fans. Even Cheng Xing has become his number one fanboy. "
In the past, the atmosphere on the Tianhuan Squad during training was too serious and depressing, and the team members were always tense. But now, the club was filled with laughter every day. Chi Shuo sometimes even felt that Yangyang was actually more suitable for the position of captain than he was.
Qujiang changed the topic and said, "With Yangyang's personality, there should be a lot of people who like him, right?"
Chi Shuo frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"
Qujiang: "Captain Chi, do you think that if I were to pursue Yangyang, the chances of success would be high?"
Chi Shuo: "…?"
Do you have a death wish?
Qujiang was still discussing seriously. "Yangyang is single and doesn't have a girlfriend. He doesn't seem to know much about relationships. I'm thinking, should I make the first move to gain the upper hand? I have a good relationship with him. If I were to confess to him, would he agree? "
Chi Shuo's face darkened. He tried to suppress his displeasure and said calmly, "Qujiang, you'd better get this straight. The playoffs haven't started yet. Although Tianheng placed second in Group S and entered the winner's group, we still don't know if we can win the championship. There's still the fiercely competitive world competition coming up!"
"Winning back the world championship has been the greatest wish of Tianheng for generations. If you dare to mess around and affect Shaoyang's state in the competition and cause us to lose the trophy, the entire Tianheng Squad will not forgive you! "
Chi Shuo was usually very calm. The exclamation marks in these two paragraphs expressed his intense emotions.
Qujiang suppressed his laughter and sent an "I'm so scared" emoji. He said, "Is this what you're thinking, Captain Chi?"
Chi Shuo: "??"
Qujiang analyzed, "You're worried about affecting the team's performance, so you don't dare to mess around. You've been restraining your inner desires. For you, the world championship is always the most important thing. You're the captain. You're shouldering not only the wishes of our team members, but also the efforts of several generations of Tianheng people. "
Qujiang sent an "I understand" emoji. "So, you only dare to vaguely express your love for him at the All-Star Game, but you don't dare to tell him that you like him."
Chi Shuo: "…"
Wait a minute, was Qujiang deliberately testing him?
Chi Shuo realized that he had been tricked by Qujiang. His ears turned slightly red.
He almost forgot that Qujiang appeared to be simple and gentle on the surface, but in fact, his mind was as clear as a mirror. He saw many things more clearly than others. This was also the key reason why his master chose Qujiang as the successor of the midlaner when he retired.
Why did he play so consistently on the field and rarely make mistakes? It was because of his keen sense of smell and excellent judgment. He obviously guessed that he liked Yangyang, so he deliberately said these words to test him …
Chi Shuo, who was exposed, was a little embarrassed. He immediately replied, "Don't talk nonsense to him."
Qujiang replied, "Don't worry, I won't interfere with your business. I can tell that you like him, so I wanted to confirm it with you. I was just joking. I don't have any thoughts about Yangyang other than being friends. Thank you for not killing me. "
Chi Shuo: "…"
After a moment of silence, Chi Shuo chuckled and said, "You guessed right, I do like him."
Qujiang was a trustworthy friend. After his master left, they played together for more than three years. Chi Shuo didn't tell anyone that he liked Ye Shaoyang, but since Qujiang saw through it, he didn't need to hide it anymore.
Chi Shuo typed a line of words, "At first, I thought that my attention to Yangyang was because of the mutual attraction between Alpha and Omega's pheromones. Later, I found out that even if he wasn't Omega, I would still like him. He is the person who understands me the most. I never thought about what kind of person I would be with before, but after meeting him, I knew the answer. "
"If I want to spend my life with someone, that person can only be him, and it must be him. I won't accept anyone else except Yangyang. He is the only one in my heart that can't be replaced. "
Qujiang looked at Chi Shuo's words and finally understood the excitement of the CP fans.
Alpha was so affectionate. Had they already decided to spend their lives together?
It's a pity that your Omega is still a block of wood.
Qujiang wanted to laugh a little. Chi Shuo was actually very simple when it came to relationships. As an esports otaku, he had never been in a relationship. After meeting Ye Shaoyang, he had completely fallen in love. But Yangyang was carefree and didn't think too much about it.
As a friend, he certainly hoped that the two of them could have a happy ending. However, interfering too much in other people's relationship problems would cause disgust. Let the two of them solve their own problems.
When the two of them played, their brainwaves were always in sync. But their feelings were never on the same channel.
When their feelings were synchronized one day, then it wouldn't just be CP fans sharing candy, it would be a wedding!
Qujiang logged into his smurf account, smiled and signed in on the # Sun and Moon Shine Together, and left a comment under the latest post: Family, I'm so happy. Captain Chi's song was so sweet!
At this time, Ye Shaoyang was scrolling through the chat with a guilty conscience.
Sure enough, as he expected, after Captain Chi finished singing, someone in the # Sun and Moon Shine Together # CP section wrote a long analysis of the song's creation background, the meaning of the lyrics, and so on.
"Irreplaceable" was a new song released by the goddess of the music industry, Chen Yijun, during this winter break. It was about the protagonist meeting a teenager with a bright smile. His heart was moved, he liked, and he recognized the other person as the love of his life.
This song only hit the charts in March. In other words, Captain Chi didn't learn this song before, nor did he "only know how to sing this song." He "specially learned this song."
When my classmate got married last week, this song was also played at the wedding. Isn't this a confession song? Although he didn't say "I love you" the whole time, the meaning of every word was "I love you."
Captain Chi's singing is so good. I've already played it 10 times!
No one can replace Yangyang's position in Captain Chi's heart. Isn't this sweet?
Sob sob sob, I'm going to get the Civil Affairs Bureau for them.
Ye Shaoyang: "…"
Ye Shaoyang guiltily turned off the chat and went back to the Internet to search for reviews of the song "Irreplaceable".
This song topped the Little Bear Music Chart in March this year. He met Chi Shuo in September last year. In other words, Chi Shuo learned this song after meeting him, and the regular season had already begun in March.
Chi Shuo happened to hear this song and learned it by chance?
Or was it because this song reflected his inner thoughts, so he deliberately learned it?
Ye Shaoyang could hear the sound of his heart pounding.
It's over, it's over. No matter how you look at it, it's more likely that he learned it on purpose!
According to the rules of the ABO world, Ye Shaoyang, as an Omega, voluntarily allowed Chi Shuo to mark him three times in a row. In Chi Shuo's view, they were not of the same sex, so they could get married and have children.
After doing such an intimate thing, wouldn't he have to be responsible for being an Omega?
How should he explain: I don't want you to be responsible, I'm straight?
Ye Shaoyang had a splitting headache. He opened the previous request for help in the emotional section. The post had already been bumped to more than 1,000 comments. Ye Shaoyang logged into his smurf account and replied —
Alien: Our unit has been building a team recently. Everyone went out for dinner together. My buddy was cheered by everyone to sing a song. When he sang the more ambiguous lyrics, he looked at me inexplicably. He doesn't like me, does he? Am I thinking too much?
The OP suddenly came back to life, and a bunch of comments immediately appeared below.
1077th comment: Alien OP is back again? I thought you were kidnapped by aliens.
1078th comment: OP hasn't been marked yet? Your Alpha buddy can't do it.
1099th comment: If I remember correctly, this scumbag OP asked his buddy to mark him more than once, right? Then isn't it normal for your buddy to like you?
1111th comment: Alpha is indifferent to Omega who has been marked several times. There are only two possibilities. First, he has a cold personality and is not interested in Omega. Second, he is a scumbag. It doesn't matter if he marks Omega. Which one do you think your buddy is?
1132nd comment: I'm curious to ask the OP, what song did he sing?
OP replied: The kind of song suitable for confessions. Although it doesn't directly say 'I like you', the lyrics mention that in my heart, you are the only one. Ye Shaoyang deliberately obscured the content of the lyrics so as not to make a mistake.
1145th comment: … Isn't this a confession? Isn't this a clear statement?
OP replied: But, our company is building a team. There are many people present. He also said that it was a casual song. Could it be that I'm thinking too much?
1156th comment: OP, pry open your head and see what's inside? You must be missing a nerve.
1168th comment: Brothers and sisters, don't try to persuade him. This OP has a wooden head. It's estimated that when he is completely marked by Alpha on the bed, he will realize that his buddy doesn't treat him as a buddy.
Ye Shaoyang: "…"
What nonsense is this netizen talking about? What do you mean by completely marked on the bed?!
Ye Shaoyang's mind suddenly appeared in the "Safety Marking Brochure" that he received at the hospital. It talked about how Alpha completely marked Omega. Although it was a cartoon version of the popular science publicity picture, the process was very clear.
If it was compared to him and Chi Shuo, it was him lying in bed being severely violated by Chi Shuo …
Ye Shaoyang's scalp tingled and his whole body stiffened when he thought of that picture!
Although he transmigrated into Omega from the ABO world, he was still a straight man mentally. He couldn't accept being pressed down by a man. Just thinking about it made his hair stand on end.
Ye Shaoyang rubbed his hot face hard and left a reply: "Don't talk about it. I'm friends with him. My buddy is a very upright and calm person. He won't lose control and mark me. When the project is over, I will apologize to him. I really don't like men. "
The netizens replied one after another: "So the OP likes female AV? You want to be marked by a lady! "
Ye Shaoyang: "I don't like to be marked by a woman either!"
The netizens: "Then do you want to go to heaven?"
Ye Shaoyang: "…"
I want to go back to Earth.
Forget it, it's impossible to explain to the natives of the ABO world. He also couldn't understand how much of a headache it was for a straight man to become Omega. He had lived for more than 20 years and never thought that he would be XX by a man.
Even if it was Chi Shuo …
It was also hard for him to imagine himself having XX with a man. It was too scary.
Ye Shaoyang buried himself in the quilt with a headache.
Isn't it good to just be brothers? Why did it become like this?
He really just wanted to play well in the competition, win an award, and fulfill his unfulfilled wish from his previous life.
Chi Shuo was the best teammate he had ever met. He didn't want to ruin his relationship with Chi Shuo. What should he do? Chi Shuo, please don't make things so clear. Otherwise, we can't be teammates anymore!
Ye Shaoyang closed his eyes gloomily and forced himself to sleep.
He had a very strange dream.
Maybe it was because Chi Shuo's gaze was too gentle when he was singing, or maybe it was because the netizens were blindly making a fuss, saying that he would be marked by a good brother. This time, in his dream, he actually dreamed …
In the dream where Chi Shuo marked him.
It wasn't a temporary mark, but a permanent mark from the popular science manual.
The scene of the dream was the team's dormitory. Chi Shuo sang "Irreplaceable" again. He looked at him gently and said, "Yangyang, actually, this song on the All-Stars was for you. In my heart, you are someone that no one can ever replace. I want to mark you and completely possess you. Is that okay? "
In the dream, Ye Shaoyang's eyes widened. Before he could react, Chi Shuo pressed him down on the bed.
Ye Shaoyang: "…"
During the indescribable marking process, Ye Shaoyang heard himself making very strange sounds. He hugged Chi Shuo and said while panting, "We were so in sync during the competition. Why can't our bodies be in sync? Is it because I'm straight and not gay enough? "
He heard Chi Shuo reply in a low voice, "Sorry, I'm inexperienced."
Ye Shaoyang said, "I-It's fine. We can slowly get used to each other."
And then the two of them got used to each other in their dreams for the entire night.
When Ye Shaoyang woke up in the morning, his whole body was burning hot. He broke down and ran to the bathroom to take a cold shower. Looking at his flushed face in the mirror, Ye Shaoyang felt angry and ashamed.
Fuck, why did I have this kind of dream!
I'm straight! Why did I dream of being pressed down by someone? And I was completely eaten up?
Ye Shaoyang washed his face with cold water. As he washed, he complained softly, "Could it be that I'm f * cking gay?"
He froze for a moment, then quickly denied himself. "No, when I was in GD Team, there were also a few handsome guys in our team. I never had any thoughts about them. I never had any reaction to physical contact or anything like that. "
"So, I'm probably not gay. But what I think about during the day, I dream about it at night. Yesterday, I was reading the superblog and reading the forums. My mind was in a mess, so I dreamed that Chi Shuo did that to me? But a straight man shouldn't have this kind of dream just by reading the forums, right? "
"Maybe I'm not that straight after all?"
"Just a little bit because of Chi Shuo?"
Thinking about the scene in his dream, Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but blush.
How was he going to face Chi Shuo after having this kind of dream? Help! He wanted to carry the train back to Earth overnight, but this world didn't seem to be connected to the Earth he was from …
He had already crossed time and space. He couldn't go back.
Ye Shaoyang buried his burning face in the cold water, looking like he had nothing left to live for.
