After Kissing the Esports God, He Keeps Flirting With Me Chapter 99

【99】 Wen Ran’s Boyfriend

“Holy shit, holy shit, I actually won!” Tang Siji shouted excitedly, slamming his mouse onto the table.

His roommate glanced at him sideways. “What are you so excited about? People who didn’t know better would think you won three million yuan.”

Tang Siji could hardly conceal the excitement in his heart. “I didn’t win three million, but I won a skin! Ice Rabbit’s FMVP!”

“Calm down, brother,” the roommate said. “It’s just a skin. Does Young Master Tang lack that little bit of money?”

Li Hao listened to their chat, pretending to look at his computer. He didn’t play games.

“The point isn’t buying the skin.” A happy smile overflowed on Tang Siji’s face. “I was the first one to win it. Dawn is going to add me as a friend and gift it to me!”

“He’s my favorite pro player. It wasn’t in vain that I swallowed my pride and called him Daddy!”

Roommate: “You’re going to kill me with laughter. Is it that deep of a love?”

Tang Siji raised his chin. “Filial piety from a son; of course, I’m happy.”

“The gifts you’ve smashed on him are enough to buy hundreds of skins, right?”

“That’s different,” Tang Siji said. “That is pocket money from Daddy to his son. Fatherly love is like a mountain.”

“I really don’t understand you toxic fans… ah, pui! Little Roses.”

The roommate also played Ling Xiao, so he naturally knew about Dawn and his fan base. Dawn’s skills were truly awesome, but his temper was truly foul. He had absolutely no self-awareness as a public figure. Yet, his fans just loved that about him. From the huge number of anti-fans predicting his failure when he debuted, to publicly accusing teammates of match-fixing, to transferring for a sky-high fee and winning the championship, this person was truly quite legendary.

“By the way, WK is holding a fan meet-and-greet in a while. We can give gifts to the pro players. The fan club mailed me a light-up sign. I’ll take it with me then and show you!”

As Tang Siji spoke, he took out a plastic light-up sign from his drawer. Written on it was “Wen Ran is the Best.”

He turned the light on, and those four cute characters became even more obvious.

Tang Siji said, “A girl made this. If it were me, I definitely would have just written ‘Son’.”

Li Hao glanced over, and the expression on his face froze.

Wen Ran?!

He couldn’t hold back and asked, “Wen Ran, who is that?”

Tang Siji was startled. “It’s Dawn! I just said it, the player I like, the Mid laner.”

Tang Siji didn’t often stay in the dorms. His family was very rich; he was a veritable second-generation rich kid. He only came back to stay in the dorms this time because of final exams.

Therefore, he wasn’t very familiar with Li Hao, and Li Hao didn’t know which players he liked.

Li Hao didn’t play games in the dorm at all for only one reason: it cost money.

A single skin often cost over a hundred yuan, not to mention tipping the players one liked.

His roommates were all wealthier than him. Li Hao was quite vain, so he could only pretend to be rich, buying brand-name clothes and shoes. The things he used were all saved up for by living frugally.

Even his computer was given to him by Wen Ran previously.

When he was dating Wen Ran, that fool Wen Ran would spend most of his money on him. Many things were bought by Wen Ran. Later, after breaking up with Wen Ran, without the external financial support, Li Hao’s standard of living plummeted. He couldn’t save any money at all, and he hadn’t found another partner willing to spend money on him.

People nowadays were very shrewd. Li Hao had pursued a famous wealthy beauty from the School of Literature. As long as he could be with her, she would be much better than Wen Ran. A pretty girl who spent lavishly; just a bit of her pocket money would equal several matches Wen Ran played outside.

As a result, he saved up money to give her a lipstick to express his feelings, but she returned it to him without even looking at it.

She even looked at him with utter disdain. “Will applying this kind of stuff rot my mouth?”

It wasn’t that Li Hao hadn’t thought about getting Wen Ran back. Although Wen Ran was a bit poor, he was willing to spend on him. Moreover, Wen Ran was gay. If Li Hao was just a little intimate with him this time, enduring the disgust to kiss him and call him ‘Baby’ a couple of times, Wen Ran would probably come back.

After all, he was his first love!

But then he discovered Wen Ran was with that rich second generation from Liqing University. The guy had even warned him. Li Hao couldn’t afford to provoke him, so he put that thought aside for the time being.

Now, Tang Siji was actually saying that Wen Ran had become a professional player?

Li Hao’s mood was very complicated right now. On one hand, he wanted the person to be Wen Ran; on the other hand, he didn’t feel Wen Ran had such great ability.

But he still spoke up: “Do you have a photo?”

Tang Siji thought Li Hao was interested in Wen Ran and immediately promoted him to the other party. “Of course I do. Here, let me show you!”

“Li Hao, if you play Ling Xiao, you will definitely like him. His skills are too fierce, and he’s handsome. He’s just a bit short and a bit irritable… but that’s not important!”

As Tang Siji spoke, he pulled up a photo of Wen Ran and handed it to Li Hao. “How is it? Handsome, right?”

Li Hao looked at the photo on the phone, and his pupils dilated violently.

The youth in the photo had that familiar arrogance at the corners of his eyes and brows. His lips were slightly pursed, seemingly indifferent to everything, but his exquisite features made it impossible to look away.

How could it be? It really was Wen Ran!

He actually went to become a professional player?

Li Hao kept a wooden face and asked mechanically, “Professional players… are their salaries high?”

“You’re talking about Dawn. A starter for the first team definitely has a monthly salary of twenty or thirty thousand. Dawn counts as a star player, so his salary can only be higher. plus streaming income, championship prize money, endorsement fees, variety shows…” Tang Siji said, “I can’t even count it all.”

“Oh right, he also has a transfer fee. Twenty-seven million, the highest in the Alliance!”

Tang Siji’s string of words smashed down, making Li Hao feel a bit dazed. Wen Ran was actually this rich now?

If he had known this earlier, he should have persisted a bit longer to chase him back!

In that case, he would have a share of that money. Wen Ran would probably even buy him a house, right?

Li Hao’s intestines were turning green with regret now, but it was too late to help the situation.

He composed himself and said to Tang Siji, “Oh, impressive.”

Then he immediately opened his phone to search for news related to Wen Ran.

The results were almost identical to what Tang Siji had said. He even went to look at Wen Ran’s Weibo. Just the number of fans alone could crush a large swath of internet celebrities.

He hadn’t thrown away a disgusting gay guy; he had lost a living money tree!

Li Hao continued scrolling while in shock. Suddenly, he saw the post Wen Ran made: “Taken, relationship stable.”

Was he still dating that rich second generation?

Li Hao searched through the comments section and found no information about Wen Ran’s “partner.” Instead, some people mentioned Wind a few times.

Harboring doubts, Li Hao searched for Wind in passing. The result of this search was even more astounding.

Just Wind’s legendary deeds scared Li Hao quite a bit. He originally thought such people only appeared in novels. When he saw what Wind looked like, this feeling reached its peak.

This… wasn’t this that rich second generation?!

That face was too recognizable; Li Hao was firmly convinced he couldn’t be mistaken. He was actually a professional player too?

And by the looks of it, he was the very famous, genius-type professional player.

Li Hao was instantly a bit disappointed. If that was the case, how could he compete with him and make Wen Ran return to his side?

Wait, no!

If Wen Ran and this Wind were still together, why didn’t he just publicly say Wind was his partner?

And Wind hadn’t given any indication that he was in a relationship either.

Then there was only one possibility: they must have broken up!

Wen Ran didn’t want to be shipped as a CP with male idols in the entertainment circle at the time, so he found an excuse to stall.

Li Hao immediately searched for “Dawn’s partner.” Aside from that one Weibo post, there was nothing else related.

Netizens didn’t even know if the partner was male or female; many were guessing that this person didn’t exist at all.

That made sense. This rich second generation definitely just played around with Wen Ran. After all, with his conditions, what kind of person couldn’t he get? Moreover, Wen Ran had such a bad temper. When they were together before, Wen Ran would occasionally scold him a few times, and even he couldn’t stand it. How could a rich young master stand that kind of attitude!

When it came to spending money, a rich second generation had much more money than him!

Li Hao had completely figured it out now. There was an 80% chance these two had fallen out and broken up. And a person like Wen Ran, unwilling to admit defeat, fabricated a so-called “partner.”

Then this would be much easier to handle.

Li Hao hooked the corner of his lip. As long as he went to find him at this time—Wen Ran had been dumped and his psychological state would be fragile—he would definitely come back obediently with just a little coaxing.

The urgent task now was to contact Wen Ran, but Wen Ran had blocked his phone number and other contact methods. Li Hao borrowed someone else’s phone, but still couldn’t get through.

There was a high probability he had changed his number.

Li Hao had no way of knowing his new number. He sent messages to Wen Ran’s Weibo, but they all sank into the ocean without a trace.

But thinking about it, with millions of fans, it was impossible for Wen Ran to read all his private messages.

Since that was the case, don’t blame him for using some special methods.

Li Hao used Weibo to go into Wen Ran’s Super Topic and posted a long Weibo post.

By the time Wen Ran himself found out about this matter, Brother Wu had already come knocking on his door.

“Dawn, have you been online? Your Super Topic is about to explode!”

Wen Ran: “?”

“Your partner.” Brother Wu was concise. “He posted in your Super Topic, and someone bought a trending search for it. It’s already pushed to the very top!”

“Go take a look quickly!”

Wen Ran opened Weibo on his phone and switched to his alt account. As soon as he entered, he saw the first post in his Super Topic, which had been pushed up thousands of replies.

The post was made by a netizen named “Mu Zi Li,” claiming to be his boyfriend. It listed some things from before he played professionally, speaking very realistically.

It even said he was Wen Ran’s first love, the person Wen Ran liked the most.
