After Kissing the Esports God, He Keeps Flirting With Me Chapter 106

【106】 Sorry, I’m His Husband, He Only Loves Me

Wen Ran stood up, ready to leave, but Li Hao hurriedly called out to stop him. “Wen Ran!”

“Wait a minute!” Li Hao gritted his teeth. “You’re sure it’s five thousand, right?”

“If I give you five thousand yuan, will you let me off the hook and withdraw the lawsuit?”

“And an apology!” Orange, standing to the side, finally couldn’t help but interject. “Quit stalling. Wen Ran has already made it this clear, can’t you understand human speech?”

Li Hao looked troubled. “But I’ve already deactivated my Weibo account.”

“It hasn’t been fourteen days since the incident, so it won’t be fully deleted yet,” Orange said. “Log in now, post the apology, and then you can do whatever you want with the account.”

Seeing their firm attitude, Li Hao didn’t dare argue further. He could only lower his head and draft the apology.

Fortunately, he was quite practiced at these kinds of things. Orange, still worried, checked it over once before letting him post it to Weibo.

Enduring the pain, Li Hao transferred the five thousand yuan to Wen Ran, feeling as if his heart was bleeding.

After walking out of the restaurant, Wen Ran felt Orange’s burning gaze on him, staring until he felt a bit creeped out.

He turned to look at the other. “Why do you keep staring at your Daddy?”

Orange tutted. “Dawn, you really are different from other people.”

“I thought you would be ‘kind’ enough to let him go and not fuss over it.”

Wen Ran let out a cold snort. “If I did that, I might as well quit gaming and go dig wild vegetables for a living.”

He did remember the little bit of good Li Hao had treated him with in the past, but after so much time, he didn’t owe him anything anymore. Wen Ran treated feelings with sincerity, but Li Hao had treated that sincerity as a tool to extract value from him. He indeed intended to let Li Hao off the hook—he wouldn’t go so far as to ruin his reputation completely—but that didn’t mean he would act like a saint, forgiving all the other’s mistakes and accepting the harm himself.

What was wrong with teaching him a lesson?

“Pfft!” Orange was amused by him. “No, no, no. The Captain can afford to raise you.”

“He won’t let you go dig wild vegetables.”

After Orange said this, he clearly saw Wen Ran’s face turn red. It was as if he had suddenly misfired; he couldn’t say a word, only letting out an awkward “Mmh.”

Orange’s mood was strange right now. In the past, whenever he saw Jiang Yan taking extra care of Wen Ran, he would feel uncomfortable and upset. But now, he could actually joke about it with them so easily.

He knew in his heart that he had truly let go.

The Spring Split matches were proceeding in an orderly fashion. Meanwhile, major teams with ambition were already preparing for the upcoming World Championship.

Since the World Championship was a matter of national glory, the selected players would need time to integrate and train together before stepping onto the global stage.

Every team hoped their players would be selected.

Even having just one selected would be good.

Team WK was also intensely preparing for their matches.

“Chairman Niu has already communicated with the Alliance. The competition time will be set for August,” Wu Ge said in the meeting room. “If any of our players want to sign up for the selection, you can start next week.”

“Registration is at the end of March, formal selection in mid-May, and after that, the training integration begins,” Wu Ge explained. “This is an opportunity. You guys are young—who wouldn’t want to stand on a bigger stage?”

After Wu Ge finished speaking, he glanced at Wen Ran. “Dawn, right?”

Suddenly singled out, Wen Ran hummed in agreement. He was indeed thinking about participating alongside Jiang Yan—to win higher honors with his idol, his lover.

“Dawn is very motivated,” Wu Ge smiled. “Alright, that’s all I have to say for now. Everyone, go prepare.”

“Wind, the boss has something to discuss with you. I need you to come with me.”

“Sure.” Jiang Yan stood up and followed Wu Ge. As he passed Wen Ran, he naturally ruffled the little bastard’s hair, and sure enough, he was met with a puffy-cheeked glare.

Because the official competition would be held on the international server, domestic accounts could log in directly without needing separate registration.

Although the official competition would take place on the international server this time, the server itself had existed for a long time. Wen Ran had played on it a few times before and matched with teammates from all over the world.

The consequence of the language barrier was that when Wen Ran cursed at his trash teammates, they couldn’t understand him. They would even say things like “Thank you~,” “How are you,” or “これはどのように再生されます” (How do you play this?) in various languages. It felt like punching cotton. The feeling of holding back anger with nowhere to vent was too uncomfortable, so Wen Ran had eventually returned to the domestic server.

Wen Ran logged into the international server in the training room. Orange and Arrow were also there. He played a solo match first. Wen Ran’s rank on the international server was only Diamond. After easily finishing a match, he saw an online notification.

Jiang Yan sent him a message in-game:

“Ran Ran, want to duo? I happen to be streaming for a bit.”

Wen Ran replied with a “Yeah” and was pulled into the lobby.

Aside from official matches and scrims, he hadn’t played casually with Jiang Yan in a long time.

After a brief sound of electric current, Wen Ran turned on his mic. “You finished with the boss that quickly?”

“Yeah, he gave me some local specialties he brought back from his trip,” Jiang Yan said. “I’ll bring some over to you later.”

The team owner liked Jiang Yan a lot and often sent him things. Rumor had it his son was a fan of Wind. Of course, the fact that Jiang Yan earned him a lot of money was likely a factor too.

Once Jiang Yan started the stream, fans flocked in.

[Good morning Husband—wait, can I not call you Husband anymore? Boohoo.]

[My husband has become someone else’s husband. His partner is even in the lobby.]

[Duo with Dawn? As expected of you two!]

[Some sweet xql (young couple) sticking together.]

[I’m not envious at all. Seriously, I’m not envious.]

[So compatible, so compatible. I hope you duo with Dawn more often.]

[This rebellious son’s voice sounds so obedient. It’s completely different from his usual vibe in his own stream!]

[To the person above, can you compare yourself to his partner?]

[Does Dawn know how long it’s been since he streamed? People might think you’re off brewing honey!]

[Daddy has waited so long I’m about to grow mold…]

[Having a partner does have one benefit: at least it lets us know he’s still alive.]

Jiang Yan casually greeted the bullet comments. “Didn’t get busy with much. What can pro players do? Just scrims and peak tournament matches.”

“If you miss Ran Ran, I can call him over to say hi to you later.”

[Wind, my Male God, you are my real dad!]

[Look at this awareness! He knows how to spoil the fans.]

[Am I the only one focused on him calling him ‘Ran Ran’? I’m so sour.]

[Advise deletion, this is unfriendly to me.]

[Why am I, a single dog, watching this live stream?]

[Real talk, family. I once suspected I might find someone, but I never suspected Wind would. I didn’t expect him to stop being single so early! And his partner is so good-looking.]

[Hahaha, sister above, don’t worry. Dawn is Wind’s fan. It probably didn’t take much effort for Wind to pursue him.]

“Of course not,” Jiang Yan replied to that comment. “Ran Ran, that little bastard, was much harder to chase than you imagine. Brother spent a lot of effort.”

[??? You really chased him?]

[Husband, you… I have nothing to say. I’m so envious of Dawn. Being chased by his idol—he must have saved the galaxy in his past life!]

Wen Ran picked Gu Ling (Drum Spirit) for this match.

The opposing Jungler was named Fei Yun.

Four or five minutes into the game, Wen Ran had already taken three kills.

At this moment, the opposing Jungler spoke up.

[Fei Yun: êtes-vous Dawn? (Are you Dawn?)]

Wen Ran couldn’t understand what the other person was saying at all, as the international server displayed all kinds of languages.

Aside from recognizing the word “Dawn,” the rest looked like English but with letters that didn’t quite match what he knew.

Wen Ran ignored it. Then the opponent sent another message:

[Fei Yun: Je t’aime beaucoup (I like you very much)]

[Fei Yun: J’ai le cœur brisé d’apprendre que tu as un petit ami (I am heartbroken to hear you have a boyfriend)]

[Fei Yun: Je t’attendrai, et si tu romps, je viendrai te poursuivre (I will wait for you, and if you break up, I will come chase you!)]

Wen Ran was completely baffled and had to ask Jiang Yan for help. “What does this mean? do you know?”

“I know.” Jiang Yan sneered internally and quickly “translated” the opponent’s words for Wen Ran.

“He asked if you are Dawn, and then said, why are you so trash.”

Jiang Yan said without blushing or skipping a beat, “He says you’ve become so rusty after just a few days, your mechanics lack any detail, he can kill you easily, and if you surrender quickly you can die a few less times.”

Wen Ran: “……”

“Fuck!” After hearing this, Wen Ran was so angry he almost crushed his mouse. “With his brain-stem-missing skill level, how dare he mock me!”

“If I don’t kill him ten times today and teach him how to be a human being, my surname isn’t Wen!”

Fuming, Wen Ran maneuvered his hero to chase down Fei Yun. Under the crushing pressure of his superior micro-mechanics and game sense, the opponent was hammered by Wen Ran until his head was about to fall off.

[Fei Yun: ?]

At this moment, Jiang Yan also sent a message.

[wrsxhd: Je suis désolé, je suis son mari, il ne m’aime que (Sorry, I am his husband, he only loves me)]

Wen Ran couldn’t read it. “What does that mean?”

Jiang Yan: “Oh, I told him that he can’t beat our team’s Mid laner, so he should go back and practice more.”

[Don’t think I don’t recognize that! You clearly said ‘Sorry, he only loves me!’]

[Help, how can you lie with absolutely no psychological pressure?]

[Husband, you…]

[Old Six! How could you deceive Dawn like this?]

[You show absolutely no mercy to love rivals, right?]

[Poor French brother, he’s probably going to be depressed tonight.]
