After Kissing the Esports God, He Keeps Flirting With Me Chapter 120

【120】MVP-Dawn, Fairy Luyue

[Gentle Gentleman: I messaged you because your hands looked good. If you don’t want to hook up, fine, but why insult people?]

[Gentle Gentleman: Looking at your homepage, I know you’re crazy for a man, so I kindly came to ask you.]

[Gentle Gentleman: Others want to hook up with me but can’t. They wait in line for me to top them, and I have to pick and choose.]

[wxhjy: Drop it. Look up at the sky, is it full of the cows you blew up (bullshit)?]

[wxhjy: If you were even half of what you made up in reality, would you need to fish for people randomly online? And act cheaply towards your Daddy?]

[wxhjy: Do you really take others for fools who have nothing better to do than line up for a three-second acupuncture session?]

Wen Ran was still typing furiously to output more, but after typing a long paragraph, it failed to send, displaying “You have been blocked by the other party.”

Wen Ran didn’t take this small interlude to heart and casually blocked the other person as well.

Wen Ran exited Weibo and opened his photo album.

There weren’t many photos in the album; Little Flower and screenshots of positive reviews for cashback on takeout occupied half the territory.

Wen Ran scrolled down and opened a hidden album. Inside were photos of Jiang Yan.

During the training period, he and Jiang Yan rarely had opportunities for intimate contact. With heavy responsibilities ahead, neither had the mind for romance. They basically focused only on daily training. The longest time they spent together was in the training room, and their alone time was mostly during meals, but the conversation topics were largely about the competition and the game.

Although Wen Ran wasn’t a particularly clingy person, he hadn’t slept with Jiang Yan for over two whole months.

Not even a kiss.

The most contact was Jiang Yan occasionally reaching out to pat his head.

Wen Ran looked at Jiang Yan’s photos on his phone and reached out to touch the screen.

Jiang Yan’s face was truly handsome and deceptive. No matter where he was placed, he would be the object of everyone’s adoration.

He had a photo of Jiang Yan sleeping in his phone.

Usually, when they slept together, Jiang Yan woke up first. But one time, Wen Ran woke up first. The lines of the man’s face beside him were softened by the morning light. Wen Ran traced the other’s eyebrows with his gaze and couldn’t resist secretly taking a photo with his phone.

When Jiang Yan was asleep, he was inexplicably a bit obedient.

Tsk, he missed Jiang Yan’s embrace a little.

It must be very warm and comfortable.

Just as Wen Ran was secretly looking at the photo and pining for his partner, the wristband on his wrist suddenly vibrated. Wen Ran felt his heartbeat accelerate instantly—this was their secret code.

“I miss you.”

This Jiang Yan, what time is it, and he still hasn’t slept?

Jiang Yan was different from them. He wasn’t just a player; he had his own insights into BP (Ban/Pick) and tactics. Coach Feng was also very willing to communicate with him. Jiang Yan concurrently served as the team’s main commander and had absolute command authority, so overtime was common for him.

Usually, Wen Ran knew not to disturb him while he soaked in the training room himself.

The wristband hadn’t vibrated for a long time, causing Wen Ran to almost forget its existence.

But now, just a moment ago, he clearly felt Jiang Yan’s signal.

While criticizing Jiang Yan in his heart for not resting, the corners of Wen Ran’s lips slowly hooked up. He opened WeChat and sent a message to his pinned contact.

[Ran Ran: Let’s play a game of ‘I say, You do’. The person seeing this message go to sleep now.]

Jiang Yan was amused by this message:

[Lao Liu: Then is there a reward for playing the game seriously?]

[Ran Ran: Let me think… Didn’t you say last time that Mu Yan would make cakes for Lu Jing? After the competition, I’ll make one for you too. What others have, Wen Ran’s boyfriend must have too!]

This wasn’t a momentary whim of Wen Ran’s. He had even bookmarked several videos already. He knew the theory by heart and was just waiting to put it into practice.

Wen Ran didn’t know how to date before, nor how to express his love.

Now, however, he understood that once you meet the right person, you will rack your brains to be good to them.

Dating is a matter for two people. He also wanted to learn to be good to Jiang Yan, a little better, and then a little better still.

[Lao Liu: Mm, okay. listening to Ran Ran.]

[Ran Ran: Then put down your phone now and sleep!]

Jiang Yan was indeed tired. He had been forcing himself to stay awake to chat with Wen Ran. During these days of training, although they were together day and night in the training room, it was basically all about grinding coordination and systems. There was simply no mind for romance. Yet, Jiang Yan still wanted to chat with Ran Ran whenever he had a spare moment, even just a sentence.

Now that Ran Ran told him to sleep, he didn’t decline:

[Lao Liu: Goodnight Ran Ran.]

Wen Ran didn’t reply. Jiang Yan put down his phone, and a vibration came from his wrist.

Just a few seconds later, two vibrations came from the same spot.

Wen Ran buried his face in the quilt and whispered to the air: “Jiang Yan, goodnight.”

The match against the Brazilian team was Team China’s first match and the first match of the World Championship. A victory in the first battle was naturally very important for morale, so Chairman Niu specially instructed them before the match to play this one well.

Moreover, the viewership might reach hundreds of millions.

Chairman Niu had a patient “chat” with every player.

When it was Wen Ran’s turn, Wen Ran thought he would say something about restraining himself and paying attention to etiquette. Instead, the other party just patted his shoulder: “Dawn, add oil (do your best) and play well. Just perform consistently.”

Wen Ran looked at him: “You trust me that much?”

Chairman Niu, rare to be sentimental: “Do you insist on reciting the slogan again?”

“Forget it then, so many viewers are watching.”

“You toxic tumor, although you are the one I worry about the most,” Chairman Niu glared at him with disdain, “I have always cared about your data. Perform consistently; the opposing Mid Laner isn’t your match.”

“Besides, I see you listen to Wind quite well. If I can’t handle you, can’t he?”

Hearing this, Jiang Yan immediately chimed in, casting a leisurely glance at Wen Ran: “How can you call it ‘handling’? Our Ran Ran is naturally obedient. This is called obeying organizational arrangements and having high ideological awareness.”

Twilight finally couldn’t stand it anymore: “Jiang Yan, are you a mirror? Do you have to show off everywhere?”

“Still making eyes at each other, disgusting me to death. The brothers are all watching!”

Ling Han and Xu Jiajia covered their eyes with their hands upon hearing this.

“Alright, alright, stop bickering. Good luck with the match!”

To boost morale, Chairman Niu waved his hand grandly: “If we take this win, I’ll treat everyone to eat at Moon in the Lake. Order whatever you want!”

“Chairman Niu is generous!”

The professional players were now ready to enter the arena. Wen Ran was the last to leave the room. Before leaving, he turned his head and patted Chairman Niu’s pocket: “Get your wallet ready, you’re definitely treating.”

Chairman Niu glared and pushed Wen Ran: “Hurry up and go! You talk too much!”

“Bring back an MVP and I’ll treat you to an extra meal.”

“You said it!”

“Would I lie to you at my age?”

Chairman Niu stopped talking after speaking, but watching Wen Ran’s retreating figure, his heart relaxed a lot.

The Brazilian Mid Laner couldn’t possibly be Wen Ran’s opponent.

The match began, and he watched the screen in the broadcast room.

The regular season was a BO5 format. In the first game, Wen Ran picked Fairy Luyue.

As soon as this BP came out, question marks flooded the livestream chat like flowing water.

[???]

[No way, Fairy Luyue can be played in the World Championship?]

[Yeah, Dawn has barely played her, right?]

[More than just barely played. He doesn’t play her in SPL, and even during livestreams playing online games, he’s never seen playing her.]

[Hiss, he can’t be trolling right from the start, can he?]

[I don’t think so. Maybe it’s some new tactic.]

The opposing Mid Laner chose Sword Heart, also a hero with relatively long range, but with shorter cooldowns than Luyue and very fast wave clear.

Wen Ran brought out Luyue for her high burst and high damage. A skill fired and hit the opposing Sword Heart first.

Sword Heart’s health dropped by 1/3. The weakness of Sword Heart lay in low defense; he was squishy. However, being a pro player, he cleared the wave unhurriedly.

Another skill, hit!

Now Sword Heart was a bit scared. But everyone knew how important early game minions were for leveling up. Sword Heart had laned against Luyue before and knew that once he leveled up first, a 1-2 combo could force Luyue back. If he timed his cooldowns right, taking First Blood was also very possible.

Luyue had just used her skills on him, so they should be on cooldown. He only needed to hit the minions in front of him once to clear them and level up, and Luyue’s wave clear was definitely not faster than his.

Thinking of this, Sword Heart felt slightly reassured. He boldly positioned himself to carefully clear the wave. Unexpectedly, Luyue suddenly flashed and appeared in front of him, hitting him with a basic attack.

Sword Heart’s muscle memory as a pro player made him immediately use his flash to escape. But at this moment, Wen Ran’s cooldowns were ready. A blind prediction skill fired and took him away directly!

Because of the initial gap, Sword Heart’s vision was inferior to Wen Ran’s thereafter. Moreover, Wen Ran’s accuracy was terrifyingly precise; Sword Heart didn’t even dare to leave the tower.

The Brazilian Jungler naturally wasn’t useless. Seeing his teammate suppressed like this, he started running toward the mid lane. But he didn’t expect that just as he rounded the jungle, he would be ambushed and killed by the opposing Jungler and Support.

Furthermore, this game intentionally gave the core role to Wen Ran. Jiang Yan would even leash buffs for him. Fairy Luyue had immense suppressive power when her accuracy was high. Sword Heart, the only long-range hero, was targeted afterward and couldn’t scale. Wen Ran could even poke down the opponent’s health before the enemy Jungler came to cut the Carry, making it easier for teammates to encircle.

The snowballing tactic made the advantage grow larger and larger. In less than fifteen minutes, they pushed down the Brazilian team’s Crystal.

The kill score was also tragic, 9:1.

Team China won the first game. MVP-Dawn, Fairy Luyue, Damage Dealt 35%, Kill Participation 80%.

[Brothers, I’m dumbfounded.]

[Awesome, awesome. I didn’t expect him to really know how to play Luyue.]

[Laughing to death. Did you think pro players were just hype?]

[Dawn, you are my god!]

[Ahhh baby, you really make us proud.]

[This toxic tumor seems to really have something.]

Then the director cut the camera to the players on both sides. On Team China’s side, Wen Ran leaned back in his chair, raising his chin proudly at Jiang Yan: “Alright, earned a meal from Chairman Niu. Moon in the Lake!”

Meanwhile, the Brazilian Mid Laner slammed the table angrily, speaking in not-very-fluent Chinese: “I said long ago to ban Fairy. Chinese people know Kung Fu; their hidden weapons have aimbots!”
