The winner of the Spring Split was still WK. Their momentum was simply too fierce to withstand.
The happiest people were naturally WK’s fans. With the main team’s results being good, the fans were holding lucky draws in the Super Talk, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Orange posted on Weibo. It was a pictureāa sketch with just a few strokes outlining six silhouettes holding the trophy together, with golden rain falling overhead.
Caption: Time was a bit tight, didn’t have time to refine it.
[This is so cute! Orange Baby, you’re too amazing!]
[Come give Mommy a kiss, your team initiation tonight was such a carry!]
[WK’s five treasures are all so great!]
[This drawing is so vivid. There’s even a little rose drawn above Dawn’s head, and a cat head next to Arrow.]
[Poor Coach Tao. Isn’t it just because he didn’t eat his carrots and got scolded by his mom? Orange, you even specifically drew a carrot for him, hahahaha!]
[Orange Baby, you love them so much.]
[Whose main team won the championship? Oh, it’s mine!]
[Orange can actually draw?]
[The person above is clearly a new fan. Orange Baby studied art since elementary school. If playing games hadn’t delayed him from going to the Academy of Fine Arts, he might be a big shot artist by now.]
[Yes, Orange can do sketching, graphic design, impasto, acrylics… He said it himself, he draws whenever he’s free.]
[Orange Baby has a fan-sister who liked him since his debut. Last time for her birthday, Orange Baby gave her a painting. It was a picture of her and her signature hero. He’s really super gentle.]
[There are a lot of his works on his Weibo, you can scroll back to see.]
[Dawn’s profile picture was drawn by Orange Baby. He’s been using it all along.]
[Are their relationship this good?]
[There are very few people who dislike Orange, right?]
[If Wind Male God and Dawn hadn’t made it official, who wouldn’t ship the Mid-Support romance?]
[I’m really sour. are gamers these days all so multi-talented?]
[After reading this, I just want to offer my knees. This Fine Arts student is crying. Can Boss Orange draw one for me?]
[I only started watching matches from the Winter Challenger Cup. I’m really happy to have met the WK five-man group all at once.]
Orange looked at the Weibo comments section, the corners of his lips slowly curving into a smile. I’m also very happy to have met them.
After a championship win, the next most attention-grabbing thing was naturally the various gossip of the transfer period.
Amidst diverse opinions, a piece of huge news broke out.
Jiang Nan retired.
She posted a long article recounting her mental journey since playing professionally and her feelings toward Team Nifeng. She was just tired now and wanted to rest.
The comments section was full of wailing, everyone asking the goddess not to go, but there were even more blessings. No matter where player Jiang Nan went, she would have a broader world.
Orange naturally saw that hot search. If Jiang Nan left, then the burden of Team Nifeng would be left for Nan Xi to carry alone.
When Jiang Nan was there, the two of them could help and encourage each other, working for the team together. But now…
Orange was well aware of Team Nifeng’s situation. Someone as serious and responsible as Nan Xi didn’t even rest when he went home for the New Year.
Always thinking about the teamāOrange really couldn’t bear it.
He was clearly only nineteen, but why did he have to be so much more mature than others?
When he himself was nineteen, he had teammates and coaches around him; there weren’t so many things to consider.
Orange thought of New Year’s Eve when he mustered the courage to video call Nan Xi. When the other picked up, his face carried some fatigue, but he forced a smile to wish him a Happy New Year through the camera.
“We have fireworks here.” Orange wanted to make him happy, so he pointed the camera out the window. “Look.”
When he saw a smile emerge on the corners of Nan Xi’s mouth, only then did he realize how fast his own heart was beating.
“It’s beautiful.” Nan Xi looked at the screen gently. “Thank you.”
What Team Nifeng lacked most was a Support, specifically an engage Support who could set the tempo. Looking at the announcement, Orange had some thoughts in his mind.
The throbbing in his heart when facing Nan Xi couldn’t be faked.
Whether it was being saved by him from that group of hooligans, him helping repeatedly in games, or their usual interactions, Orange could clearly feel Nan Xi’s charm constantly attracting him.
A player’s career is short; the golden period is only three to five years. As one gets older, hand speed slows down. Even if the game sense keeps up, the mechanics can’t connect. He liked WK, liked these teammates, and liked the feeling of striving for the championship with them.
But he also didn’t want a player as amazing and talented as Nan Xi to look back on his career with regrets.
Orange had indeed not signed up for the World Championship selection because Nan Xi hadn’t, and he hadn’t signed up either. Perhaps the idea had sprouted then, but now it appeared fully formed.
Jian Yu, that heavy burden, I’ll come and help you carry it.
Inside the manager’s office, Orange looked at the manager in front of him, pursed his lips, and said:
“I want to transfer.”
Wu Ge was stunned instantly. He never expected this sentence to come from Orange’s mouth.
He had been at WK for so long, and the team’s results were good now. He couldn’t think of any reason.
So he asked, “Why?”
Wen Ran pushed the door open and entered. Hearing this as the first sentence, he went up and put his arm around Orange’s shoulders.
“An Chenxia, stop joking. Is it because defending your rank is too tiring? I’ll carry you.”
Orange didn’t shake him off but gently shook his head. “Wen Ran, I’m not joking.”
“I really want to go out and see.”
Actually, Orange didn’t feel that transferring for Nan Xi was something shameful to say, but he didn’t want to place Nan Xi in the middle of public opinion because of his personal choice, nor did he want his teammates and manager to have prejudice against Nan Xi because of this.
This was his own choice. Orange didn’t know if his solitary bravery in going to Nan Xi’s world would be accepted by him, but he knew that if he didn’t go, he would definitely regret it.
Wen Ran suppressed the reluctance in his heart and said with a cold voice, “Then when we meet on the field in the future, Daddy won’t show mercy. I’ll definitely hammer you.”
Orange mimicked him: “I’ve supported you in so many games, how do you know I won’t engage on you first?”
Wen Ran: “……”
“I know you can’t bear to part with me.” Orange gently pinched Wen Ranās face. “But, it’s not like we can’t contact each other often.”
“Who can’t bear to part with you?” Wen Ran puffed his cheeks. “I’m just worried no one will get my takeout.”
But in his heart, he was wondering which club Orange would transfer to.
Hopefully, it was Nifeng. That way, they would both be in B City and could meet often.
“Since you’ve decided, the club respects your choice,” Wu Ge finally said. “The listing price will be decided in discussion with the boss. It won’t be set too high, so you can have a good destination.”
Orange hummed in agreement. “Thank you, Wu Ge.”
Wu Ge also patted his shoulder. “If you want to come back, WK will always be your home.”
Orange’s trial training went very smoothly. After all, he was a double-crowned Support, and the market was hot for him.
Jiang Nan was also there at the trial. Although she had retired, she stayed to help the team with trials before leaving.
As soon as the publicity period arrived, Nifeng couldn’t wait to announce the new member.
Team Nifeng Official:
[After friendly communication and negotiation, we are pleased to announce that former WK Support player An Chenxia (ID: WK.Chengzi) has officially transferred to join Nifeng Club. He will serve as the team’s starting Support and meet upcoming tournament challenges together with the other players.
Orange excels at heroes like Sajal and Siren, possesses superior game sense, and executes perfect engages. We believe he will climb to the next peak in better form alongside his teammates.
Welcome, Nifeng.Orange!]
Generally speaking, the top comment in the section would be the “social courtesies” between the two official team accounts. But in Orange’s case, the top comment actually came from WK.Dawn.
The bright Red V hung above it: [Orange is handed over to you guys. Treat our family’s Support well, okay? ^Ļ^]
[The relationship between these two is really good. Why did the two babies separate?]
[Why do I feel like Dawn means: ‘If you dare bully Orange, Daddy will kill you’?]
[Be bolder, remove ‘feel like’.]
[I don’t understand. Isn’t staying at WK quite good? Why insist on transferring?]
[A ten million transfer fee is a bit low for his current value.]
[Everyone has different choices. Respect Orange.]
[Yes, gathered they are a fire, scattered they are stars filling the sky. Dawn and Orange will definitely meet at the peak.]
[Welcome, welcome! Welcome to our Nifeng family!]
[I’m really crying to death. Goddess Jiang Nan retired, and our team’s results are in such an awkward transition. I almost despaired. Thankfully, thankfully, the club bought someone.]
[I really have high hopes for Orange. Coming from a championship team, aside from Twilight, he has the highest skill level in the League, right?]
[Can engage, can protect the carry, and can shot-call. Who wouldn’t like a player like this?]
[Please, I hope after Orange comes, he can let us win one game.]
[Also, does anyone else think he looks super cute? Those little curls really curled into my heart.]
[Guess why he’s called Orange? Must be sweet and juicy.]
[To the person above, I can understand sweetāhis looks are quite sweet. But what the hell is juicy?]
[It just means he looks very watery (soft), looks very easy to bully.]
[Let me translate: Top-quality shou (bottom).]
[You guys… I just came in and tripped over pants.]
Nan Xi happened to scroll to this thread while looking at his phone. Seeing the phrase “looks very watery, looks very easy to bully,” he inexplicably remembered that nightāOrange with his hands cuffed, the tails of his eyes red and brimming with tears.
It seemed… he really was easy to bully.
Nan Xi blushed uncontrollably, his skin feeling a bit hot.
Suddenly, the training room door opened, and Orange’s voice rang out. “Jian Yu, so you were here.”
Nan Xi suddenly felt like he was caught doing something bad. He felt a bit uncomfortable, not daring to meet Orange’s eyes. He clenched a fist to his mouth and coughed once.
“Mn.”
“Is your dorm all packed?”
“Packed.” Orange secretly traced Nan Xi’s brows and eyes with his gazeāexquisite and handsome. Orange felt his heart accelerating, thump thump.
“We’re teammates from now on.” Orange smiled gently. “Please guide me, Little Captain.”
