Chapter 83: Confessing on Stage, He Showed Me the Light part 1
Golden rain drifted slowly from overhead. Wen Ran tipped his head back; the fluttering gold landed on his hair, on his body, and he couldn’t help but reach out to catch it.
This was the coronation of the victors, the championship belonging to him and Jiang Yan.
The golden rain he had once seen in his dreams, the dream that had died two years agoâat this very moment, it had all come true.
The commentator was still passionately reciting congratulatory lines: “Campaigning across three thousand li, one sword once held back a million troops. Where did we meet this lord? A youth of spirit, strong and unbridled!”
“Blossoms fill the hall, intoxicating three thousand guests; one swordâs frost chills fourteen states. Who could have known? The tiger grows wings and takes flight in the broad daylight!”
“May your aspirations reach the clouds, and your faith never extinguish!”
The atmosphere at the venue had reached its peak. The lights of the entire stage were ablaze, and the Silver Dragon Cup stood in the center, quietly awaiting its master.
Under the gaze of millions, the entire team stood up and ascended the stage.
Commentator A said, “After a lapse of one year, WK has won the championship again, declaring the return of a dynasty to us all. At the same time, this is Wind’s debut following his return. Facing doubts, ridicule, and sarcasm, Wind has used his strength to prove his ability, telling us that that man is back!”
Jian Yun ran the fastest. The youth sprinted through the golden rain toward the Silver Dragon Cup that belonged to him. Wen Ran and the others lifted the trophy together. Under the bright lights, what they hoisted was the honor of their team.
The venue was filled with applause. Jiang Yanâs hand covered Wen Ranâs hand.
It was very warm, completely different from the cold touch of the Silver Dragon Cup.
Sandwiched in the middle, something was shining. Wen Ran knew that was his future.
“Jian Yun seems to particularly like our Silver Dragon Cup,” the commentator teased. “Heâs been hugging it the whole time, reluctant to let go, right?”
Jian Yun smiled a bit shyly.
“But you can’t take it yet,” the commentator said. “You can hug it away after we’re done in a bit.”
“Now, please present the championship rings to our players!”
The championship rings had already been cast, engraved with each of their IDs. The rings were made large, looking particularly conspicuous on their hands.
“Alright, now letâs announce the FMVP.”
An animation played on the big screen accordingly.
Everyone grew tense, and the cheers from the audience below rose wave after wave.
“Wind!”
“Dawn! Let’s go!”
“The winner of this Winter Challenge Cup’s FMVP isâ”
“WK.Dawn!”
Hearing his name read out, Wen Ran was a little stunned. He hadn’t expected this FMVP to be given to him.
“Congratulations, Dawn!”
Thunderous applause erupted at the scene. At this moment, Jiang Yan walked over from behind and draped the team flag over Wen Ranâs shoulders.
“This is Dawn’s second season since debuting, and his performance in almost every game has been remarkable,” Commentator A asked. “Regarding achieving such good results, do you have any thoughts at this moment?”
The livestream bullet comments had practically been conquered by the Little Roses.
[Ahhh, the Rebellious Son did great! Today you are Mama’s good treasure!]
[FMVP, isn’t this enough to shut other people’s mouths?]
[Too strong, baby! You were really amazing tonight!]
[Am I the only one worried he might say something earth-shattering and ghost-startling?]
[Hahaha, you saying that actually makes me look forward to it. After all, this is Dawn. If he gave a serious interview, it wouldn’t be him.]
Just as the people in the bullet comments were sweating for the commentator, Wen Ran took the microphone and spoke. “Mn, first of all, I want to thank a person.”
“If not for him, I absolutely would not be standing here. I participated in youth training, but due to some personal reasons, I couldn’t stay in the professional scene. Once, I was someone in the mud. I thought I would rot there for a lifetime, sinking deeper and deeper. But I met him. He grabbed my hand, pulled me out, said I was a good child, encouraged me, and let me see the light.”
The amount of information in Wen Ran’s words was too great. The commentator was actually very curious about the situation regarding his previous youth training failure, but on Championship Night, he didn’t dare dig too deep for dirt. He could only say, “Then this person Dawn mentionedâif he can see our livestream, he will surely receive your gratitude.”
“He can hear it,” Wen Ran said firmly and gently. “He definitely can hear it.”
All the attention at the venue was focused on Wen Ran. No one noticed that while Wen Ran was saying these words, Jiang Yanâs gaze had been following him the entire time.
“Next, I want to thank my coaches and my teammates. In my opinion, the FMVP is not one person’s honor, but the crystallization of all our joint efforts.”
Wen Ran choked up slightly, tears glistening in his beautiful eyes. “Finally, I want to thank the fans who support me. Because of you, I learned that even someone like me can be liked by people. Thank you!”
[Damn it, I’m about to cry. Is this still my son with the cheap mouth?]
[Save me, why is he so sentimental? Also, what do you mean ‘someone like you’? You are clearly very good, very worthy.]
[The scheming Little Sprayer knows too well how to torture his fans. Damn it, start a livestream quickly, Daddy will give you pocket money!]
[I was smiling, then I started crying. Sharp tongue, soft heart.]
[Some people say they don’t care about us and want to block and delete us, but behind the scenes, they secretly cry because fans like them.]
[How is he so good at manipulating me? Forget it, even if it’s a trap, I’m jumping in.]
[So pitiful yet cute, he really is a Little Beauty. My heart hurts for him, wu wu.]
[A boy shedding tears in front of tens of millions of viewers… how does WK discipline them? I suggest sending him to me for two days of education.]
[Good lord, sister above, I heard the sound of your abacus calculating all the way from my house!]
[The abacus beads hit me right in the face.]
[I was ready to scold him for thanking Daddy last, but this suddenly threw me off.]
[Just ordered three boxes of Guishuang. Little Sprayer’s endorsement, let’s boost his sales.]
[Rebellious Son, hurry up and livestream. Miss you.]
[The championship is won, so the offseason should be coming up soon, right?]
[I suggest WK weld Dawn permanently into the livestream room. Don’t be ungrateful and force me to kneel and beg you.]
……
After the procedures were mostly finished, they finally returned to the backstage lounge.
“Everyone speak up, where do you want to have the celebration banquet?”
Coach Tao spoke with a jovial smile, “Don’t save me money. Let’s pool our ideas. If there’s anything you want to play, say it, and we’ll discuss it.”
“I want to go to KTV!” Jian Yun was the first to speak. “I haven’t been to KTV in a long time!”
“Okay!” Coach Tao continued asking, “What about the others? July, Orange, do you two have any ideas?”
Orange thought for a moment. “I want to eat copper pot hotpot.”
July nodded. “Indeed, blanching meat in a copper pot, thatâs what you call fragrant.”
“That works,” Coach Tao said. “Wind, Dawn, what do you think?”
Wen Ran nodded to indicate it was fine, and Jiang Yan gave a hum of agreement.
“Then it’s settled,” Coach Tao said. “Rest up tonight, and tomorrow we’ll go have a fun day!”
Since earlier, Orangeâs eyes had been glancing toward Jiang Yan.
As a teammate, he naturally knew the tactics Jiang Yan had formulated, and his admiration for the captain deepened in his heart.
How could there be someone as amazing as Wind in the world!
Orange admired strength, and his worship of Jiang Yan grew deeper.
Moreover, he felt that this feeling of his seemed to be more than just simple worship.
Wind’s appearance also fit his aesthetics perfectly.
From his nose to his eyes, and even his figure, he was simply grown according to Orange’s ideal type.
Whenever Orange saw Wind, his heart would race incessantly.
Even if Wind just said a couple of extra sentences to him or smiled at him, Orange felt like he was going to faint.
He liked Wind.
Orange wasn’t the type to be cowardly. He felt that if he liked someone, he should pursue them boldly.
Therefore, after the coach dismissed everyone to go back, Orange mustered up his courage and actively sought out Jiang Yan.
“Captainâ”
Seeing it was him, Jiang Yan asked, “Looking for me?”
His voice carried a lazy nonchalance, making Orange’s heart accelerate again.
“Mn.” Orange nodded vigorously, his cheeks a bit red.
“I bought movie tickets. I wanted to invite you to watch a movie together, is that okay?”
Orange said it, then fearing Jiang Yan wouldn’t agree, he quickly added, “It’s two hours. I checked the reviews online, the reputation is very good.”
“Sorry, I have plans tonight.” Jiang Yan rejected him directly. “I have a friend coming to see me.”
“Oh… is that so,” Orange was very disappointed, but since Jiang Yan had said that, he couldn’t disturb him further.
“Then, Captain, have a good time with your friend!”
“I will.”
Orange left. Jiang Yan finished changing his clothes and waited for Wen Ran outside.
When Wen Ran came out, he was only wearing a team uniform T-shirt.
The weather was gradually turning cool now; wearing so little at night would lead to a cold!
“Where are your clothes?” Jiang Yan asked.
“I put my clothes in the utility bag; the staff must have taken them back.”
Wen Ran was also a bit distressed. “My team jacket is in there too.”
Jiang Yan clicked his tongue, took off his own jacket without hesitation, and gave it to him. “Wear this first.”
“Don’t catch a cold.”
“What about you?”
Jiang Yan said, “I still have my uniform jersey.”
Wen Ran didn’t refuse further and put on the clothes that still carried his boyfriend’s body heat.
What left him a bit speechless was that Jiang Yan kept looking at him. That half-smile in his eyes made Wen Ran feel a bit creeped out.
“What are you looking at? Are there words on my face?”
