FOG [e-sport]

Chapter 79

The unrestrained thoughts Shi Luo had accumulated bit by bit was crushed by the power of Old Qiao’s awe-inspiring righteousness.

Shi Luo leaned against the wall and took a deep exhausted breath. He asked, wondering, “What are you doing here?”

Old Qiao was shocked by Shi Luo’s bold self-confidence. He said, “That’s a good question. What am I doing here? What am I doing here?! You’ve been absent from work for no apparent reason for almost half an hour! You should be thanking me for not going to Zhou Huo to have your salary deducted. You’re the one acting unbridled and you’re ask me what I’m doing here? I came here to see if anything was the matter. If nothing’s the matter, then stop trying to pick up guests here! Go and do your training!”

“Oh.” Shi Luo scratched his hair, feeling fidgety. He looked completely embarrassed. He lowered his head and said, “Sorry, I know.”

Old Qiao felt uneasy all over. He looked at Shi Luo, still completely puzzled no matter how much he thought about it. He urged roughly, “Go go, go. If you’re not feeling sick then go train. What the hell were you doing…”

Shi Luo closed the door and followed Old Qiao back to the training room. Yu Sui’s seat was vacant. Shi Luo tilted his head and took a look. His live broadcast was also closed.

Chen Huo and Puppy were both playing single row. They were both wearing sound-proof headphones. They hadn’t heard anything since just now. They certainly wouldn’t know where Yu Sui had gone off to. Shi Luo could only look questioningly at Old Qiao. Old Qiao looked at Yu Sui empty seat. “Oh, Zhou Huo called him away just now.”

Shi Luo nodded. He returned to his seat, closed his live broadcast and started playing single row.

After Yu Sui brought such a big wave of rhythm onto himself, Zhou Huo, naturally, couldn’t just sit still. He hurriedly called Yu Sui to ask him just what was he going to do and whether he should issue a clarificatory statement.

He’d said everything himself and there was nothing he wanted to take back. Yu Sui told Zhou Huo there was no need to clarify or admit anything.

Since Shi Luo didn’t want to make it public for the time being, Yu Sui respected his opinion and did not have any plans of coming out.

Zhou Huo couldn’t understand, “Since you don’t want to go public they why were you bringing along your own rhythm and playing ambiguous? What do you want to do? Do you simply want to help me create topics? When did you start being so considerate? Isn’t it my job to sell the team? Why are you trying to steal my job?”

Zhou Huo’s eyes gleamed, “Someone has combined your voice from the live broadcast and Shi Luo’s webcam feed into a video and posted it on the Internet. The amount of reposts, aiya…really, I saw that video and I thought it was superb. Your words combined with those little expressions of Evil’s…it really grips people’s hearts.”

Zhou Huo’s thoughts were very far-reaching, “Is this you paving the way for when you do go public in the future? Are your plans always this thorough?”

Yu Sui smiled, “I didn’t put that much thought into it.”

“Actually, I just did it on a whim. I just didn’t want him to be upset so I suddenly felt like I wanted to say a few words… to kind of smooth things over for him.” Yu Sui fiddled with his phone and said slowly, “I just wanted to tell the new fans about our old scores, but as I kept talking I was also moved.”

Zhou Huo looked Yu Sui up and down. He asked curiously, “What do you mean moved?”

Yu Sui paused, and said after a moment, “Thinking back on the past, I feel like I didn’t care for him enough.”
