The Esports Big Shot Wants to Cuddle His New Teammate Every Day chapter 32

Chapter 32

Xu Ziyan never imagined that it was the scent of his pheromones that exposed him. His face turned crimson, and he subconsciously covered the back of his neck.

He more or less knew the smell of his own pheromones, but as one of an Omega’s most intimate secrets, the only people who knew this besides his family were Xie Wei.

Due to the self-protection mechanism of an Omega’s body, their pheromone scent was hidden much better compared to Alphas; normally, almost no one would smell it.

The reason Xie Wei could smell it was because they once had a marking relationship.

Xie Wei probably didn’t realize this point, which was why he said it so frankly.

Xu Ziyan stammered an apology on Line, but Xie Wei obviously didn’t really mind the matter, replying casually with an emoji.

After dinner came the replay meeting. Although it was just a training match, Yu Guangzhou didn’t lower his standards. He went through the recording almost frame by frame to pick out mistakes; even Xie Wei had several points for improvement pointed out.

When it was Xu Ziyan’s turn, Yu Guangzhou probably considered that he had just joined the team and was a bit lenient, but he still said everything that needed to be said word for word. “Here in the small room at Point A, the opposing Sniper and Assaulter were preparing to cut you off. I know you are confident in your mechanics, but remember, there are no second chances on the competition stage. Don’t be arrogant in situations that can be avoided. Also, the frontal healing pressure isn’t small. In this wave, if the opposing Assaulter had been even a little bit more accurate, you would have been dead for sure, leading to the entire attack being wasted.”

Xu Ziyan listened obediently, like a primary school student getting scolded.

After scolding him for this wave, Yu Guangzhou clicked play and started talking about his positioning issues in the next wave.

By the time the replay ended, Xu Ziyan was a bit dizzy.

Shen Xiao hooked his neck from behind and laughed, “How was the first replay meeting after joining the First String? Got scolded dizzy by Old Yu, right?”

Caught off guard, Xu Ziyan stumbled forward from Shen Xiao’s sudden movement. He steadied himself and smiled. “It’s okay, it’s okay. Playing Medic means getting scolded every day; I’m used to it.”

Shen Xiao laughed loudly. “True. Not only do you get chased all over the place by Assaulters and Snipers, but you also have to protect your life while healing idiot teammates. If teammates eat damage and die, they blame you for not healing them up. God, I really don’t understand why anyone loves playing Medic. If it were me, I’d die of anger.”

Xu Ziyan said, “Probably just liking the feeling of the opponent hating me but being unable to kill me.”

Shen Xiao said, “I seriously suspect you’re talking about me. When I saw you use the taser gun to control the opposing Sniper today, I remembered you killed me like that in ranked too, didn’t you?”

His expression and tone became extremely resentful, and Xu Ziyan inexplicably felt a trace of guilt.

“But it doesn’t matter, I’m not that petty of a person,” Shen Xiao said. “As long as you agree to duo queue with me and heal only me alone until I reach the top of the Assaulter leaderboard, it’s fine.”

Xu Ziyan said, “Then wouldn’t I have to queue with you for a lifetime?”

Shen Xiao showed a heartbroken expression. “Ice, sometimes teammates need a little trust. But a lifetime is also fine, I’ll take it as you agre—Ouch!”

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly cried out in pain. Looking back, he said pitifully, “Why did you hit me!”

Qu Qingyue held her notebook, rolling a massive eye. “Instead of pestering the newcomer here, you should hurry up and cultivate your skills. Just like you are now, can you beat WOF’s Secret? Can you beat Bai Chen? Let go quickly.”

WOF’s Secret was currently the number one Assaulter on the leaderboard, with Bai Chen following closely behind; the two were neck and neck.

Shen Xiao, because he loved to mess around and overextend, was still at a pitiful thirteenth place.

Shen Xiao obediently let go. “Sister Yue, your words are really hurtful.”

Qu Qingyue said, “Brother Xiao, Sister only spoke the truth.”

The two walked away talking, and Xu Ziyan instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously in the Second String, knowing he was an Omega, the Alpha members would intentionally keep a distance from him. But Shen Xiao was truly an oddball, having absolutely no awareness of AO distinctions. Xu Ziyan really couldn’t handle such a person.

Fortunately, Qu Qingyue came over just now to help him out.

In the evening, the First String did self-training. In this aspect, it was exactly the same as the Second String.

However, unlike the Second String, the First String members liked to return to the dormitory to conduct ranked training alone.

Shen Xiao and Bai Chen left first. Xie Wei had been called out by Yu Guangzhou earlier and hadn’t returned yet. For a moment, only Xu Ziyan and Qu Qingyue were left in the training room.

He felt a bit awkward and was thinking about finding an excuse to slip out for a while, but unexpectedly, Qu Qingyue walked up to him on her own initiative.

She stared at Xu Ziyan for a while, then sighed lightly and said, “Shen Xiao doesn’t understand what distance is, and he likes to talk nonsense. He doesn’t get it, but you must pay more attention. Keep a distance from him. It doesn’t matter if you speak a bit harshly; Shen Xiao doesn’t hold grudges.”

Xu Ziyan was stunned, completely expecting Qu Qingyue to care about him. He stammered, “O-Okay, thank you.”

Qu Qingyue seemed to want to say something more, but hearing footsteps in the corridor outside, she said nothing, nodded, and left directly.

Xie Wei met Qu Qingyue leaving in a hurry on the way. Returning to the training room, he saw Xu Ziyan standing in place with a dazed look and asked strangely, “What’s wrong?”

Xu Ziyan snapped back to reality, shook his head, then remembering today’s events, hurriedly said, “I really didn’t mean to today.”

Xie Wei took a moment to react before realizing he was talking about the reception room incident. He laughed, “I know.”

Xu Ziyan bit his lip and admitted honestly, “But it wasn’t entirely accidental either. I saw you two go out, so…”

Only then did Xie Wei realize the key to the matter. He found it somewhat amusing. “I thought she wanted to talk to me about the transfer, so I agreed.”

He and Qu Qingyue had been teammates for a long time. He always treated her as just a teammate, later leaning a bit toward treating her like a younger sister, taking care of her somewhat. Therefore, the confession today was completely outside his expectations.

In Xie Wei’s impression, Qu Qingyue had always been a carefree, cheerful girl who loved to laugh. Although she had constant boyfriends, she always handled things well. In their usual interactions, they often bantered and roasted each other, but like?

Xie Wei hadn’t sensed it at all.

After Qu Qingyue confessed her feelings, he felt more or less guilty in his heart, but his rejection was still very decisive, not giving the other party any room for fantasy.

This was his style.

But that time when Xu Ziyan confessed to him, Xie Wei couldn’t handle it so cleanly. Instead, he dragged it out, to the point where even he felt it was unjustifiable.

At this point, Xie Wei had to admit that Xu Ziyan was indeed special.

“Find a time recently to move to the First String dormitory,” Xie Wei said. “The weather is getting cold recently. The First String dorms are closer to the training room, and the environment is a bit better. You can play ranked in your own room, so you won’t have to sleep in the training room when it gets late.”

Xu Ziyan agreed blankly. It wasn’t until Xie Wei left that he belatedly realized something was wrong.

How did Xie Wei know that he slept in the training room?

He suddenly remembered the blanket that appeared on him unknowingly that day. At the time, he thought it was some unknown good Samaritan. Thinking about it now, could that person have been Xie Wei?

Not long after that, he got the chance to participate in the Newcomer Cup.

So that was it.

At that time, Xie Wei saw his hard work, so he decided to give him the chance.

After getting the chance, he trained desperately, walking step by step to today.

Xu Ziyan originally felt a bit impetuous because of the gap that did exist between him and Qu Qingyue, but now he slowly settled his heart down again.

Regardless of others, as long as he walked his own path diligently, he would always improve.

He felt his body fill with strength and began his evening ranked matches with a hundredfold spirit.

In a few days, Xu Ziyan moved from the Second String dormitory, where he hadn’t lived for many months, to the First String villa.

Since the accidental marking, he hadn’t been here again. Now seeing the familiar entrance, memories surged into his mind unseasonably.

It was right here that he ran head-on into Xie Wei, who had fallen into a rut…

Xu Ziyan hurriedly shook his head, throwing those messy fragments out of his mind, and walked in with his luggage.

His room was arranged on the third floor of the villa, on the same floor as Qu Qingyue.

Since that brief chat that day, the relationship between Xu Ziyan and her wasn’t as stiff as before. When entering the room, Qu Qingyue even told him a few precautions for Omegas.

“If your heat comes, stay in your room properly and call Jiang Yuxin… that’s our team manager. He’s on a business trip recently but will be back in a few days,” Qu Qingyue said while helping him move boxes. “Ask him to deliver meals and necessities. You can also make requests to him.”

Xu Ziyan kept everything in mind, took out his phone to save Jiang Yuxin’s contact information, hesitated for a moment, and spoke up. “I’m sorry.”

Qu Qingyue was confused by his sudden apology and tilted her head. “For what?”

Xu Ziyan felt quite awkward talking about this. He scratched his head. “That day when you talked to the Captain, I heard a little bit.”

Qu Qingyue’s expression froze for a moment, then she suddenly pursed her lips and revealed a smile she couldn’t suppress. “You… I thought you were a very smart and shrewd person before; didn’t expect you to be so silly.”

She smiled and said, “If you’re apologizing to me because of my leaving TWG, it’s completely unnecessary. If I insisted on staying, I’m confident I could block you for a long time, preventing you from playing. Transferring was my choice. That team fits my style better, and the conditions they offered me are more generous. Staying in TWG forever is like staying in a comfort zone; this transfer is also equivalent to a new challenge for my career.”

Saying this, Qu Qingyue paused, her smile becoming gentler. “If it’s about the Captain, then there’s even less need. Feelings can never be forced, and you are really good and cute. There are many people chasing me, and I can meet more good Alphas in the future. I won’t hang myself on one tree; I just need some time.”

When saying these words, she looked straight at Xu Ziyan, her eyes curved, looking as if she was glowing.

Looking at her, Xu Ziyan couldn’t help but think from the bottom of his heart: She really is a very beautiful and amazing person.
