Pretend to hate you [eSports]

Chapter 31 Chapter 31

The s League is held as scheduled, and e-sports enthusiasts around the world are paying attention to this event.

The two teams jokingly called “enemies”, Team Yuhuo and Team Awei, met in the final of the S League.

From training to the spring season, and then to the only defeat in the summer season, Wei was like a person bathing in fire in a vast ocean, the only territory he had failed to conquer.

On the night of the final, the S League live broadcast room reached its highest popularity and continued to break records.

In front of the witness of people all over the world, they defeated Team AW. They rushed to the stage and held up their championship trophy under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The whole world is cheering and celebrating them.

Cheng Yu hugged Shen Zheng tightly on the podium. Neither of them said anything, but just hugged each other tightly, which was better than a thousand words.

Different from the photo of Shen Zheng winning the championship on Cheng Yu’s wallpaper, Shen Zheng at this moment, together with his teammates, held up the trophy high, he was full of smiles, and even shouted with everyone. Those phoenix eyes were no longer indifferent and lonely, but seemed to be sprinkled with stars, each of which held beautiful memories between them.

That’s enough, Cheng Yu thought, even if it’s only one year, it’s enough.

Yuhuo won the championship in the finals, the whole LPL was celebrating, and the Yuhuo team was so happy that they were about to go crazy.

Ling Le watches his heroic victory scene every day and always finds different cool points in it.
Lu Ming receives many phone calls every day, and he modestly says that he has no achievements.
Yan Shu often opens Weibo and sees those flattering comments. He laughs until his face freezes and takes screenshots to save them.

The most stable ones are Shen Zheng and Cheng Yu, and they still have competitions to come.
In the global All-Star Game voting, they both received the highest number of votes.

In the Global All-Star Game, there is a solo competition, which the LPL region jokingly calls “Captain Shen’s personal show.”
Netizens are looking forward to this game. Hey, who doesn’t like the scene of “home violence”?

When the solo competition started, netizens thought that Shen Zheng would dominate the entire field as usual, but they never expected that in addition to Shen Zheng, Cheng Yu also emerged.
They were like two fierce generals, easily overcoming all obstacles along the way and finally meeting in the finals.
Netizens were surprised and excited about Cheng Yu’s strength. They knew he was powerful, but they didn’t expect that he could be on par with Shen Zheng.

Before the game, Cheng Yu held Shen Zheng’s arm backstage.
Shen Zheng turned around and patted his hand: “I know, I won’t let you go, I hope you won’t either.”

Cheng Yu smiled: “This time it’s official, Shen Zheng.”
“Got it.” Shen Zheng touched his forehead with his. “Officially, I’m waiting for you to beat me.”

The two entered and took their seats, and the cheers in the stadium were even more intense than during the S League.

Ling Le sat in the audience, excited like a person with ADHD.
He had seen the two of them perform solo, and the word “exciting” was completely unable to describe how he felt at the time.

Both sides chose their heroes and left the fountain to rush to the battlefield. The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop as everyone was watching the game intently and nervously.
SOLO has a time limit, and as time goes by, everyone’s nerves become more and more tense.

But the two of them had no intention of deciding the winner. Cheng Yu and Shen Zheng’s data were exactly the same, and such a situation had never occurred before.
The two are like clones, they last hit and deal damage in the same way.

If the two have not decided the winner before the countdown, it will be considered a draw.
This is not the result that anyone wants to see.

Countdown to 10 seconds.
The commentator forgot to remind the audience of the time, and even forgot his own job, watching the game with bated breath.

Countdown to 5 seconds.
Everyone in the audience seemed to be breathing in sync. There was a fifty percent chance that none of them would be able to guess the result.

Countdown to 3 seconds.
Shen Zheng dodged Cheng Yu’s skills and counterattacked, and predicted Cheng Yu’s movement and threw out skills.

Countdown to 2 seconds.
Cheng Yu, who should have avoided the skills, rushed forward and took Shen Zheng’s skills. Then he used all his skills. The distance was so close that Shen Zheng had no way to dodge.

Countdown to 1 seconds.
Shen Zheng was stunned when he saw Cheng Yu’s operation. His subsequent skills missed and it was too late for him to react again. His screen turned black and white.
In just half a second, Shen Zheng’s screen turned back into color and a big word “Failure” appeared, bringing this exciting game to an end.
He took two seconds to react, confirmed that he had really lost, and shook his head and laughed.
Cheng Yu really did it.

This was the toughest match Shen Zheng had ever faced since he started playing professionally. He really tried his best, but still lost in the end.
Shen Zheng raised his eyes and saw Cheng Yu walking towards him.

Cheng Yu’s eyes sparkled, and the joy in his eyes silently expressed his happiness, and this joy had nothing to do with winning or losing.

Shen Zheng took off his headphones and stood up. He shook hands with Cheng Yu restrainedly, took him in his arms, and whispered in his ear: “My boyfriend is amazing.”
Cheng Yu whispered, “I’ll take care of the money from now on, little trash.”

“Okay.” Shen Zheng let go of Cheng Yu and raised Cheng Yu’s hand high to the audience.
This is his champion, his boyfriend.

The audience finally came to their senses and burst into waves of screams.
Cheng Yu held up the championship trophy of the solo competition. To him, this was not a trophy, but the “ring” of this relationship.

After the solo competition, the discussion about Cheng Yu increased sharply, and the most talked about topic was still about him and Shen Zheng.
Some talk about ability, some talk about feelings.

Both of them performed well in youth training competitions and reached the peak as soon as they debuted. Cheng Yu took fewer detours than Shen Zheng, so everyone said he was lucky.
The previous pirate game live broadcast was edited many times by netizens, and the previous live broadcast of Cheng Yu and Shen Zheng was also dug out by netizens to dig out the sweet moments.
Cheng Yu and Shen Zheng didn’t care about these, they were busy with their new club.
Yuhuo Team is now the leader of LPL. During the rest period, the club chose a new site for construction. Awei is no match for Yuhuo now.

That day, in the old training room, Ling Le suggested: “Let’s go check out the new base. I heard from the coach that it has a new look now, and it looks really impressive!”
Cheng Yu packed up his things and replied, “No.”

Ling Le: “Let’s go. It’s a good opportunity for us to check out the surrounding areas to see where there are good food.”
Cheng Yu: “No.”

Ling Le wanted to persuade him but saw Cheng Yu took away the mouse and keyboard.
Ling Le: “Are you on holiday? I haven’t received any news.”

Shen Zheng, who came in from the door, just heard Ling Le’s words. He looked at Cheng Yu and his brows slowly frowned.

Shen Zheng: “Is this your price?”
He knew that Uncle Cheng’s acquisition of Yuhuo was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Cheng Yu didn’t say anything, put on his bag and was about to leave.

Shen Zheng held Cheng Yu and they stood in the corridor. Shen Zheng did not hide the fact that there were other people in the room.
“I’m your boyfriend,” he said, “Don’t hide it from me.”

Cheng Yu relaxed his shoulders and was silent for two seconds. He looked up at Shen Zheng and said, “I want to go back to school. If I can still fight after graduation, I will come back.”
After a pause, he smiled again and said half-jokingly, “Pay attention to your private relationship with the new mid laner. You may be busy at school, but it won’t stop me from checking on you.”

Shen Zheng let go of Cheng Yu: “Wait for me.”
Cheng Yu noticed that Shen Zheng’s eyes were not right, so he followed him and asked, “What are you doing?”

Shen Zheng unplugged the keyboard cable without saying anything.
“I’ll go with you.”

“No.” Cheng Yu pressed Shen Zheng’s keyboard, “Don’t make trouble.”
“I’m not making a fuss.” Shen Zheng said in a serious tone, “I haven’t waited for you for so many years just to get this result.”

“So many years.” Cheng Yu murmured again, and then smiled.
“Isn’t that how TV dramas are played?” He smiled and said, “As long as the result is good, it’s enough.” Shen Zheng said bluntly: “I’m not satisfied.”
Cheng Yu took a deep breath and said, “We are different, Shen Zheng. I don’t know how long my eyes can last. Can you just treat me as if I am recovering from my injuries?”
Shen Zheng still kept a cold tone: “No.”
“What do you want?” Cheng Yu knew Shen Zheng’s temper. He would really retire. “You tell me, I’ve agreed to everything, except that you want me to come back to compete.”
“Come with me.” Shen Zheng took out two plane tickets from his pocket, “Let’s go out for a walk.”

The plane ticket was to Huaifeng City. Cheng Yu remembered that Shen Zheng had asked him where he wanted to go, and he said Huaifeng City.
“Okay.” After taking the plane ticket, Cheng Yu said, “I’ll go with you.”

Huaifeng City, inside a seaside hotel.

Cheng Yu wrapped himself tightly in a bath towel in the room, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking down.
“We should go to a different time,” he said. “Who would come to the beach at this time of year and freeze to death?”
“I’m not here to see the sea.” Shen Zheng came out of the bathroom, steaming hot. He wiped his hair and said, “Come here.

“Why are you here if not to see the sea?” Cheng Yu took the hair dryer and stood next to Shen Zheng to blow his hair.

Shen Zheng’s hands were naughty. He put them around his waist and tickled his skin in a naughty way.

“Stop it.” Cheng Yu kicked him and butted him with his knee, “Don’t let the gun go off accidentally or you won’t be able to cry.”

Shen Zheng raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly: “Tell me more about it.”

After fiddling with his bangs twice, Cheng Yu made sure they were dry, then turned off the hair dryer and put it away: “What are you talking about? Talk about your continued career as a pro.”

Shen Zheng rested his hands on the bed, his body stretched out. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, dimming the sharpness between his eyebrows.

“Want me to come back and fight?” he asked.

“Nonsense.” Cheng Yu returned to sit next to Shen Zheng, clasped his hands together, placed them on his knees, lowered his eyes, and his tone was no longer as arrogant as before, “You are different from me.”

“Shen Zheng, I want to see you win.” He turned around and smiled at Shen Zheng, “Isn’t it good to see you working hard on the stage to support your family?”

“You are really good at coaxing people.” Shen Zheng leaned over, and the two kissed each other unscrupulously.

The sunset exploded, and the room was filled with sweet orange. Shen Zheng let go of Cheng Yu, touched his nose, and kissed his eyes: “Do you need to draw the curtains?”

When at the base, Cheng Yu always turns off the lights.

Cheng Yu clenched the bed sheet with his fingers, lowered his head and shook it. The tips of his ears were more eye-catching than the sunset.

Shen Zheng smiled, raised his chin and kissed her again.

There was no worry in the hotel. Cheng Yu found that Shen Zheng was a better kisser than he had imagined. After a while, his brain was deprived of oxygen.
When Shen Zheng touched him, his voice trembled: “Don’t…”

“What else?” His breath spread, tickling Cheng Yu’s earlobe.
Cheng Yu didn’t dare to look him in the eye, and turned his eyes away: “Don’t ask nonsense questions.”

The towel fell to the floor.

Cheng Yu was lying on the bed, with Shen Zheng’s scent everywhere. He wanted to stay here, not go to school or play professionally, and no one could control them.
When his mind cleared up, the words ‘the king does not hold court early in the morning’ flashed through his mind.

“Fuck.” He covered his eyes with his arms and laughed softly, “She is really seducing me.”
“What are you talking about?” Shen Zheng came back after washing his hands and asked him.
“Nothing, go to sleep.” Cheng Yu pulled the quilt.
“Really?” Shen Zheng touched his forehead, “Just say whatever you want to say, don’t hide it from me.”
“What can I hide from you?” Cheng Yu muttered, half of his face buried in the quilt, “Go to sleep quickly.”
Shen Zheng hesitated and reached out to turn off the light.

The room was quiet, but the rustling sound of Cheng Yu turning over was very obvious.
He tossed back and forth like a fried salted fish until Shen Zheng pinned him down.
“Cheng Yu, are you hiding something from me?” He asked, turning on the bedside lamp.
“No.” Cheng Yu lay facing him.
The two looked at each other until Shen Zheng turned off the lights again.

In the second half of the night, Cheng Yu woke up and felt hungry.
The person next to him was breathing heavily. He stood up and wanted to go to the kitchen to check, but just as he sat up, he fell back down again.
“Fuck!” After touching his phone, Cheng Yu lay on his side and searched to see if he could order takeout.

The arm under the quilt reached over, hugged him, and kissed the back of his neck: “What’s wrong?”
“Get lost.” Cheng Yu said angrily, “Don’t touch me.”
“I was wrong.” Shen Zheng came over and kissed him, his voice hoarse, “I will never do this again in the future.”
“Go away.” He pushed Shen Zheng’s face away and continued looking for takeout, but there was nothing he wanted to eat.
“Don’t hook my neck next time,” Shen Zheng took his phone away, locked the screen and threw it aside, “What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”
Cheng Yu’s face suddenly turned red. He pulled the quilt over his face and replied in a muffled voice, “Noodles, please.”

Shen Zheng got up to cook noodles.
Cheng Yu rested for a while beside the bed and went to the kitchen to see him.

The air was filled with smoke, and Shen Zheng’s hair was messy. He turned his head while yawning, saw Cheng Yu, and smiled at him: “It will be done soon.”
“Oh.” Cheng Yu walked to the dining table and sat down very slowly.
Shen Zheng in the kitchen frowned and really began to reflect on himself.

The two of them ate noodles face to face. Cheng Yu ate until the bottom of his bowl was empty, then patted his stomach contentedly and said, “Let me discuss something.”
“What?” Shen Zheng raised his head and looked at him seriously.

“I’ll have more time to rest in the future. Give me your pirate account and I’ll help you fight.”
Cheng Yu still remembered that Shen Gou tricked him into wearing a little skirt.

“Not very good.” Shen Zheng put down his chopsticks and took them out to wipe his mouth.
“What’s the matter?” Cheng Yu kicked him under the table, “Are you afraid that I will clean up your account?”
“No, it’s just that you don’t have that much time to rest.” Shen Zheng took out his cell phone, tapped a few times, and handed it to him.
“What do you mean?” Cheng Yu took it and asked in confusion, “Did you get my class schedule?”

The photo displayed on the phone screen was not a class schedule, but the last page of a contract.
On the last page are the signatures of Cheng’s father and Shen Zheng.

Cheng Yu enlarged the contract and looked at it: “What is this?”
When he understood, his eyes widened. He scrolled down and found the date, which made him even more confused.
It was when the spring season was about to end.

Cheng Yu remembered that he had just finished talking with his father at that time. It should have been the time when his father signed a contract with the former boss of Yuhuo. How did it become the contract with Shen Zheng?
Looking at Party A and Party B again, I feel a little overwhelmed.

“After I knew Uncle Cheng was going to take over Yuhuo, I talked to him about it.” Shen Zheng supported his chin with one hand and explained to him, “I had planned to do the same thing myself, but I didn’t expect you to beat me to it.”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Cheng Yu frowned, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have agreed to what my dad said.”
“Well, it’s invalid.” Shen Zheng smiled, “I show you this to tell you to have a good rest. You have to go back to train in a few days to prepare for the new season.”
“How is that possible?” Cheng Yu’s fingers clenched in his hair in annoyance. “My parents didn’t agree with me playing e-sports in the first place, so how could they let me go back?”
“We have discussed it.” Shen Zheng remained calm and composed. “Uncle and aunt also know about our situation.”

At the small dining table, Cheng Yu was shocked one after another, and only came back to his senses when he felt pain in his waist.
“You didn’t lie to me?” He held his waist and stood up. “Shen Zheng, you really didn’t lie to me?”
“No.” Shen Zheng walked around the dining table, picked him up and went back to the bedroom to rest, “How dare I lie to you.”

Shen Zheng put him on the bed. Cheng Yu hooked his neck and refused to let him go, his eyes sparkling: “Are you serious? My parents know about it and they agree to it?”
“What else?” Shen Zheng took his hand and scratched his nose. “You just left when you said so, and they didn’t even call me?”

Cheng Yu realized it later. It was a last-minute decision for him to go out with Shen Zheng this time. The two of them flew over that night. Although there were so many discussions about their relationship on the Internet before, he didn’t listen to his mother’s gossip.

“You should have said it earlier,” Cheng Yu suddenly laughed and punched him in the chest, “You made me worry for so long.”
Shen Zheng let out a low laugh from his chest, held his hand, and kissed it carefully: “I’ll give you a surprise.”
He kissed Cheng Yu’s lips again: “I told you, don’t hook my neck.”
