A few days before the finals, Free was once more doing more than ten hours of high-intensity practice games every day. After NSN’s unfortunate defeat in the semi-finals, although they missed the finals, their results have already exceeded their initial expectations and they did not feel downhearted. Instead, they joined ranks of Free’s sparring teams to help Free carry out their daily high-intensity practices.
“I think what Shi Ge lacks isn’t intensive training. What you lack is a bit of relaxation.”
Between training sessions, Wawa was having a one on one video call with Shi Luo. Seeing Shi Luo’s face filled with worry, he said, “Brother Shi, you have something on your mind.”
Shi Luo looked at Wawa with a wooden expression and then after a while, sighed, “It’s nothing...should we team up using our side accounts for a bit?”
They’ve already done eight hours of practice matches. There was no one in Free’s lounge except for Shi Luo. Wawa originally wanted to persuade Shi Luo to take a rest but he was helpless against Shi Luo’s insistence. So, he accompanied Shi Luo to play the game.
The double row with Wawa was no longer for practice. It was just to maintain the feel in his hands. Wawa also knows that so the two of them slaughtered their way through using muscle memory. There was no need to communicate. After a silent round, Shi Luo simply shut down the voice chat with Wawa and the two of them played blindly with zero communication.
While assisting Shi Luo, the warm-hearted Wawa opened the in-game chat and chatted with Shi Luo at the same time.
[Awa]: [What’s wrong, ge? You’ve taken your revenge and the championship is as good as yours. So, what’s still weighing on your mind? ]
Shi Luo glanced at the team chat and typed:
[jyhbdhs]: [He asked me to use my side account to make it public. ]
Who “he” was, was self-evident.
Wawa, who liked to follow gossip in the circle, knew all about his side account.
[Awa]: [...That takes a bit of courage. ]
[Awa]: [You guys are really daring to officially make it public. That’s really exciting. ]
[Awa]: [... What’s wrong with me secretly rubbing my hands in anticipation for it? ! ]
Their passerby teammate was also pretty good. When he saw Shi Luo and Wawa’s convo in the team chat, he was extremely confused. This match was totally going their way and they had time to just type and chat. While waiting for the fog to clear, he curiously typed a question.
[Passerby A]: [What do you mean? What does this garbled-named brother or sister want to make public? ]
If he could go back in time, back to that spring time when they first started dating, Shi Luo would never have allowed himself to take leave of his senses and apply for that stupid side account that foreshadowed his months-long attack by clueless fans online until he was left with no way out now.
How can it be helped? Back then he had just started dating Yu Sui and Shi Luo had nowhere to recount his youthful feelings. He had become accustomed to playing it cool and there were a lot of things that he found difficult to say face to face. However, besieged by chuuni youthful aching, he wanted to leave a record of his romantic affair with Yu Sui.
Although it was already no secret that this side account belonged to him, still, it takes a bit of courage to admit it personally.
Those cringe-y things he had posted on his side account, anyone would be embarrassed to read them.
