FOG [e-sport]

Chapter 87

The regular season was finally over and the team rankings were already fixed. The playoffs adopted the bubble game system. As the regular season’s first team, Free’s semifinals game won’t be until half a month later. Zhou Huo and Old Qiao were feeling a rare sense of relief for once and gave everyone the night off.

When they got home that day, they didn’t need to do training and they could do whatever they wanted.

“Evil, are you okay? I saw you were sweating in the game just now.” They had just finished eating dinner and had gotten back at the base. Zhou Huo saw Shi Luo and felt a bit worried. “It’s pretty cold today and the wind was pretty chilly when we were waiting for the car. Won’t you catch a cold?”

“It’s okay.” Shi Luo said indifferently, “I haven’t caught a cold in years.”

Two hours later, Shi Luo touched his hot forehead. He thought long and hard but couldn’t figure it out. Everything was going fine. Why did he have to feed himself poisoned milk?

They’ve been training hard these past days. Zhou Huo said that he could clearly see that the players were all thinner. They finally got one day off from training and Zhou Huo wouldn’t allow them to stay cooped up playing games in the training room. He had already shoo-ed them all back to their dormitories. Shi Luo knew he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep and didn’t want to disturb Yu Sui while he caught up on sleep. And so, he didn’t allow Yu Sui to come to his room.

After washing up, Shi Luo lay on his bed, playing on his phone. The more he played, the more he felt uncomfortable. Shi Luo originally believed that he felt uncomfortable because he’d been too focused during today’s game that his muscles had been strained. When he was too focused on the game, he would overdraw his physical stamina. This sort of thing was not uncommon. After half an hour, Shi Luo realized that something wasn’t right. He touched his forehead, it was as hot as the computer motherboard.

Shi Luo put on his jacket, got up and went downstairs. In the living room on the first floor of the base, there was a small medicine box with almost all the commonly used medicines.

At the moment, all the team members were resting in their dorm rooms. The first floor was empty. Shi Luo found the small medicine box and sat on the sofa. He fished out a box of cold medicine. Shi Luo was struggling with his burning eyes. He tried his hardest to identify the expiration date. After confirming that it had not expired, he pushed out a pill and threw it in his mouth. He went to the kitchen and took a glass of water to swallow down the pill. As soon as he turned around, he saw Chen Huo standing in the dark. He had no idea how long he’d been standing there.

Shi Luo was taken aback, “What?”

“I was suddenly hungry… I ordered a takeaway. I’m waiting for the delivery.” Chen Huo looked Shi Luo up and down, “What are you hiding in your mouth? Are you sick? Did you really catch a cold?”

“I don’t have a cold…” Shi Luo drank a few more sips of water and said perfunctorily, “I’ve just got excessive internal heat. I just took some medicine for it. Don’t tell Yu Sui.”

“Why the hell would I tell him about your excessive internal heat?” Chen Huo looked at Shi Luo, somewhat worried, “Why’d you even get excessive internal heat? You smoked too much?”

“En…” Shi Luo finished off his glass of water. “Don’t make a fuss. If Zhou Huo finds out, he going to fuss like a mother hen.”

Chen Huo nodded, “I know. I also ordered yogurt. Want it?”

Shi Luo shook his head, packed away the medicine box and went upstairs to his room.

Shi Luo wasn’t completely inexperienced in dealing with colds. He would take some cold medicine, drink a glass of water and sleep. Come the next day, he would be fine. It was just a one night matter, he didn’t want to worry Yu Sui about it. He went back to his dorm room, cocooned himself in his quilt and while waiting for him to sweat it out, continued to play on his phone.
