Chapter 85

Zhou Huo looked at Chen Huo and Puppy in disbelief. “I can’t believe that those words just came out of both your mouths.”

Chen Huo rolled his eyes, “Then pretend like I hadn’t said anything.”

“When was this friendship established?” Zhou Huo was puzzled. “Don’t you two bicker and quarrel all the time?”

“We do quarrel and bicker all the time and he’s even two years younger than I am.” Chen Huo turned and looked at Zhou Huo. He asked, “But do you think Shi Luo holds a grudge?”

Zhou Huo stopped and thought about it carefully, “Now that you say it…every time you two finish arguing, it’s like everything’s fine already.”

“I don’t hold any grudges either. Neither of us holds any grudges. So, you can’t really say we’re quarreling.” Chen Huo turned back. With a rare tone of seriousness in his voice, he said, “In the past, I was indifferent to it. It didn’t matter to me whether we were in the same team or not. Later…sigh, was it in that club? I thought he was really going to mess with Yu Sui and send him to the hospital. I was furious. I felt that brat didn’t know to distinguish good from bad, I thought he didn’t know how to treasure old ties. But later I found that it was a misunderstanding. It was my own despicable thinking. ”

Chen Huo whispered, “When I thought about it afterwards, I felt like he must be the one who actually treasured our old ties the most. He’d only been with the team for a few months but even after two years, he still couldn’t let go. This kind of person…oh, really, after you’ve seen so many people in this industry who are only in it for the money, there’s no way you wouldn’t like this kind of stubborn and inflexible guy.”

Puppy lay slumped on his gaming chair. “In the beginning, we weren’t really teammates and I didn’t really care. Now that we’ve really been teammates for a few months…and we’ve been teammates for the most stormy months, building a team together, being praised together, being sprayed together… None of us actually has a steel heart, okay? How can you not have feelings for them when you eat in the same room everyday? Anyway, the thing I find really vexing is when the sprayers say he has no international experience, I said two years ago that he shouldn’t have joined FS. If he hadn’t been so unlucky as to join our broken team, he would have long gotten international experience.”

“If the knife doesn’t cut me then it doesn’t hurt… It didn’t use to matter but now when others insult my teammates, how can I not get angry? Shi Luo’s pretty much the same. It’s not actually true that he only has Yu Sui in his eyes. ……” Puppy adjusted his sitting position and scratched his chin. “When someone in his live broadcast room said that I sucked, that I wasn’t pulling my weight, he saw it and banned them outright. Can you really say that he treats me as a tool teammate? No matter how much we take jabs at each other, that’s our own business behind closed doors. Outsiders can’t just butt in, you know?”

Zhou Huo looked at the two of them, feeling very regretful, “I should have brought a camera with me. Now, I wasn’t able to capture that rare moment of warmth from our team.”

Chen Huo looked uncomfortable, “Are you crazy? If you record it, then wouldn’t Shi Luo know?!”

Puppy also felt momentarily numbed, “Besides, don’t the fans know already? Please, don’t do this. It’s good enough that everyone knows it in the inside.”

“What is with our team?” Zhou Huo was tired, “Most people talk badly about others behind their backs. Here, it’s completely the other way around. You say good things about people who aren’t around. If you’re always going to be like this, it’s going to be difficult for me to do my job. Normally, when you’re not trying to auction off your teammate as a training partner on your live broadcast to boost your popularity, you’re taunting and mocking each other. It’s making our team culture particularly twisted.”
