BXBX NOVEL Chapter 6: The cute girl has become a man!
Ma-male?!
Wei Xiao was shocked silly. He’d called out ‘little sister’ for a whole night, but the other party turned out to be a man?
He was the only one left in the team room. LU had already gone offline.
Originally Wei Xiao had wanted to switch to his main account and play ranked matches, but now…
To hell with ranked matches!
His three views had just been completely shattered, okay?!
Wei Xiao made a phone call to Bai Cai.
Brother Cai had only just woken up. Seeing the two words ‘Old Wei’ on the screen of his cell phone, he could feel his brain twitch, “Hello?”
“It’s over! Old Bai, I’m done for!”
Wei Xiao’s shouting caused a shiver to run through Bai Cai.
“What, what’s going on?” No way, had the captain exposed himself just like that? Didn’t he say that his identity needed to be kept secret?
Bai Cai was a little nervous. He was worried that Beast Wei was looking for him to punish him for his crimes.
“My little cutie, bah… that boss of mine is actually…”
Bai Cai heart thudded. He felt like he was already halfway buried in the earth.
“… Male!!!”
Wei Xiao couldn’t even express the entirety of his shock with multiple exclamation marks.
Bai Cai: “………………”
Damn it, really, if it wasn’t that he was short on money, he’d definitely cut off all relations with this beast!
Going on like this, day by day, he was going to be frightened into a heart attack sooner or later.
“I reminded you a long time ago not to presume so much.”
As soon as he heard that he hadn’t been exposed, Bai Cai’s heart steadied, and he even felt a little like gloating.
Who would have dared to think that Beast Wei would have a day like this? It was true that everything had its vanquisher; he had to acknowledge this fact even if he didn’t want to.
Wei Xiao was in urgent need of venting his shock, “He’s male. Why would he buy ten thousand games with me? He’s male, so why doesn’t he find a girl to accompany him? He’s male, so why didn’t he refute me after I called him little sister countless times?!”
He listed out all kinds of details. Wei Xiao’s detailed thinking was terrible!
Bai Cai’s heart of gossip was greatly piqued. He asked, “You called him little sister countless times?”
Daddy Wei, you’re a real brave man! Looking at the entire league, you’re definitely the only one who dares to address the Great Demon King like this, bar none.
“I didn’t just call him little sister,” Wei Xiao’s voice was full of tragic sadness, “In order to coax him and make him happy, I even…”
Although there was no video replay of the game, Wei Xiao still managed to rely on his extraordinary narrative ability to vividly recreate the game for Bai Cai.
Bai Cai wasn’t polite at all and laughed uproariously, “Only you, really, Old Wei, you’re amazing. You even came up with ‘the pentakill is yours, and you belong to me’ ahahahaha.”
Wei Xiao collapsed backwards on the bed, “I was wrong, I was really wrong.”
Bai Cai laughed until he got a stomach ache and wasn’t very sincere in comforting him, “Well, it’s alright.”
Wei Xiao bounced out of bed again, “How can it be alright, he’s a man!”
Bai Cai: “So what if he’s a man?”
Wei Xiao’s mind was unusually clear, “Does he like me or something? Is he fascinated by my silhouette in the profile picture? Is he buying me with this two million!”
Bai Cai’s lips twitched, “You’re overthinking it.”
Wei Xiao reasoned with him, “Then why is he throwing money at me!”
Bai Cai thought in his heart: Perhaps he fancies your strength and ability.
After waking up fully, Bai Cai had already calmed down.
The captain always cherished talent. Two years ago, he’d stretched out an olive branch to Wei Xiao, but unfortunately this boy had run off.
How much had his signing fee been that year? Oh, it seemed to have been two million.
Times had been different then. Before Wei Xiao, the maximum price when new players were signed to each team was no more than 500,000.
Wei Xiao had come in out of nowhere, using his own blood, boldness, and spirit to sweep through all the supporting teams and shockingly raising his own value several fold.
At the time, when the major clubs were bidding one million yuan, FTW directly offered a high price of two million yuan, and the other clubs were silenced instantly.
In fact, Wei Xiao had made it clear long ago that he was only interested in joining FTW. Unfortunately, he was listed in the league at the time and had to participate in the bidding.
FTW didn’t disappoint him, snatching him up at such a record-breaking price.
This had been a good story in the e-sports circle at the time. Everyone was looking forward to seeing this wolf cub bring new blood to FTW, and bring new hope for the China competition zone.
However…
Just before signing the contract, Wei Xiao disappeared.
The good story became strange gossip and was finally drowned out beneath the weight of quickly changing events.
After thinking calmly, Bai Cai had already understood Lu Feng’s intentions.
Although two years had passed, Wei Xiao had always maintained a very high level of skill due to his ongoing training with professional players.
Or, it should be said that he was more powerful now than the flashy, unrestrained rookie king he’d been back then.
Wei Xiao had been improving himself even as he tempered others.
As of now, FTW’s starting line-up was one person short, and if they could make Wei Xiao return to the team, it would be like having a sudden shock troop. They might even be able to finally break through the pass and slaughter their way to the world finals.
––A real world championship.
The China competition zone had been short of one for too long.
Bai Cai was very willing to give the captain a helping hand and capture this little bastard back!
Bai Cai replied to him, “You think it’s throwing money, but maybe it’s nothing but a single bristle from nine cows to the god-level rich.”
Wei Xiao was shocked, “How big of a cow does it have to be for them to have such thick hair!”
Even after knowing him for so many years, Bai Cai was still somewhat unable to adapt to this fellow’s brain circuits.
How big of a cow?
Was God Lu big enough?!
Bai Cai: “… F*ck!”
Wei Xiao: “???”
Bai Cai calmed himself down; he couldn’t let himself get led astray by this guy. He spoke very earnestly, “How about this, let’s put ourselves in their position and think about it.”
Wei Xiao was very well behaved, “Teacher Bai, please speak.”
Bai Cai cleared his throat and asked him, “If you’re a newbie with a lot of money who is looking for an accompanying player to try out Glory, would you look for a man or a woman?”
Wei Xiao: “Um.”
Bai Cai continued to guide him, “Would you find a high level one? A brilliant one? One who can show you what makes Glory special?”
Wei Xiao thought deeply and came up with an answer, “In that case, I have to find four accompanying players, one to carry me, one to chat with me, and two others who can provide comedic dialogue for me to listen to.”
Bai Cai: “………”
Did they really have to bring this guy back to the team?!
How come he felt that if Wei Xiao came back, their FTW team would really become WTF (what the fuck)?!
Old Bai gnashed his teeth, “What if you can only have one accompanying player!”
Wei Xiao: “If I’m that rich, why would I only find one?”
Bai Cai: “These are the parameters of the subject!”
“Fine then,” Classmate Wei finally went back to the subject at hand, “Male.”
Bai Cai was relieved, “See, you would look for a man too, right? Especially since your price is so expensive, it comes across as very powerful at first glance. A god-level rich person who isn’t short on money would definitely choose you.”
Wei Xiao muttered thoughtfully, “This makes sense.”
Bai Cai could be considered to have cleared the captain’s name, “So, don’t think strange things. Being a man doesn’t mean they’re gay.”
Wei Xiao gave a disbelieving snort.
Bai Cai, “What, are you still not assured?”
Wei Xiao’s voice was a little eerie, “Using me as a reference is too subjective.”
Bai Cai had a bad premonition, “Why?”
Wei Xiao: “I’m also not sure if I’m gay or not.”
Bai Cai: “………………”
Wei Xiao made his case, “Look at me, I’m twenty years old, yet have never been in a relationship, never liked anyone, never had a secret crush, and never chased anyone…”
Bai Cai’s brain was about to burst, “Didn’t you want to propose to the cutie this morning!”
Wei Xiao: “Yes, but the cute girl has become a man! The one and only time my heart was moved turned out to be like this.”
Bai Cai knew him too well, “Are you sure that it wasn’t the two million that made your heart feel moved?”
We Xiao: “Cough… What kind of big truth are you spouting!”
Bai Cai rolled his eyes, “Listen to your brother and be a good accompanying player. Your boss is definitely a straight man. Very straight, as straight as steel. If he has any other ideas towards you, I…”
As he spoke, Bai Cai’s desire for survival suddenly burst out. He was a little afraid of saying anything too harsh.
Wei Xiao was very sharp, “Do you know something I don’t?”
Bai Cai felt a little guilty, “What could I possibly know?”
Wei Xiao narrowed his eyes, “Bai Caicai…”
F*ck!
Bai Cai was really scared of Wei Xiao’s god-like instincts. He forcefully shifted the topic back on track, “If you really don’t know your own sexual orientation, then go to my microblog and read those short stories. If reading them piques your interest, please keep some distance from me later; if you feel numb like you’ve been struck by thunder, then congratulations, you’re a straight man.”
There was a click. Brother Cai had hung up the phone.
Wei Xial stared at his cell phone…
Old Bai couldn’t have sold him out, right?
This fellow’s life was more in the teeth of the storm than his. He shouldn’t have had the guts to do so.
Wei Xiao really opened up Weibo and looked up Bai Cai’s alternate account.
There were two legendary figures in the Glory e-sports circle: One was One Lamp Grandmaster, who was strong enough to go up against the heavens yet hadn’t exposed any personal information; the other was the Gossip Emperor who was hidden amongst the professional players and was devoted to YY and secrets of the players, pushed to the heavens by the CP fans, and hated by the players themselves.
One Lamp Grandmaster was Wei Xiao.
Gossip Emperor was Bai Cai.
It was no surprise that the two of them would get together. One was a ruthless, tricky kind of person who bullied professional players until they cried, and the other was an unscrupulous professional player with no moral integrity.
They were both existences that contestants wanted to pull out and beat up, so they trusted each other very much.
So, even though Wei Xiao was a little suspicious, he didn’t think too much about it.
Compared with his One Lamp Grandmaster identity, the identity of the Gossip Emperor was much more hateful.
He took a look at the latest post––God Lu and Coach Chen Feng’s must-share sweet nine square grid.
The accompanying images were from the match scene.
A player’s only teammate in the individual competition was their coach.
On the dazzling finals stage, Chen Feng was the only person standing behind Lu Feng.
The angle of these photos was very extreme.
One photo was of Chen Feng bending over to look at Lu Feng’s computer screen.
One was of Lu Feng looking back, seemingly asking Chen Feng about something.
The photo at the center was of the two people’s four eyes facing each other…
Wei Xiao shuddered.
He sent Bai Cai a WeChat message, “I just got shocked to death! Even my goosebump skin is peeling off!”
Bai Cai: “Do you understand yourself now, straight man?”
Wei Xiao sent over a thumbs up, “Reasonably speaking, I really admire you. Close and Brother Chen’s relationship is so pure, yet you can still create a base bromance out of it!”
Bai Cai sent him an eye-roll emoticon, “Would I dare send it if it wasn’t pure?!”
Although the entire league felt that the Gossip Emperor had no bottom line, in fact, Brother Cai was very careful about the limits.
The CPs that he created were all of people with friendship that was so pure it couldn’t be any purer.
Wei Xiao couldn’t read on any further. He closed Weibo, “I’m relieved. Laozi is a straight man!”
Looking at these nine photos made him… more than just scalp numb, he felt numb all over!
Close’s gaze, oh… it’s the gaze that Brother Cai had photoshopped––was! poisonous!
Juurensha: …WX, pretty sure you’re not all that straight
xiin: almost every thing that comes out of his mouth is a flag… i love it!
