The Esports Big Shot Wants to Cuddle His New Teammate Every Day chapter 35

Chapter 35

After shaking hands with the YNG team members and returning to the lounge with the team, Xu Ziyan discovered that he had actually been selected as the MVP for the second game.

Qu Qingyue stood up from the sofa and smiled to congratulate him.

On the way back to the team base, Xu Ziyan was reviewing the recording of his match perspective. Qu Qingyue, sitting next to him, suddenly said, “Ice, you just played against YNG. What do you think of their team?”

Xu Ziyan thought for a moment and said truthfully, “Their two Assaulters have very good strength, but the Medic and Sniper are slightly lacking. If they can improve in this aspect, they should be stronger.”

After speaking, realizing his words seemed a bit condescending and directive, he hurriedly made up for it. “Of course, YNG is also very strong right now!”

Qu Qingyue laughed. “What are you panicking for? I completely agree with your view.”

Xu Ziyan looked at her. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Bai Ke, so a sudden realization struck him. “Could it be that the team you’re going to is…”

Qu Qingyue nodded. “It is YNG.”

Xu Ziyan stared with wide eyes in shock.

Bai Ke plus Qu Qingyue, and the front two Assaulters were Xuan and Mumu, two top-ten national server Assaulters.

YNG’s strength would definitely be terrifying by then.

Qu Qingyue said earlier that the new team fit her style better; now it seemed true indeed. Bai Ke was a Sniper who didn’t consume many resources, skilled at sneaking shots and finishing kills, while Mumu and Xuan had coordinated for a long time with a steady style. Therefore, a support-type Medic like Qu Qingyue would be even more like a fish in water among them.

Xu Ziyan said sincerely, “YNG suits you very well.”

Qu Qingyue smiled at him. “I think so too.”

After this match ended, the direction of online public opinion changed a lot. Many people who originally questioned Xu Ziyan’s strength silently shut up after this match.

If it were just an ordinary win, they could still argue that YNG was weaker than other TWG members and claim Xu Ziyan got carried.

But in this game, anyone with eyes could see Xu Ziyan’s ability, especially at the first checkpoint, which could almost be considered his personal show.

Even some of Qu Qingyue’s rational fans expressed: Ice is strong, and strong in a completely different direction from Clear.

Those who previously said TWG used the back door to give Xu Ziyan a green light disappeared without a trace after this.

Back at the base, it was dinner time. Xu Ziyan put away his things and was preparing to go out when Shen Xiao quietly sneaked in.

He said, “Ice!”

Probably because he was preparing to go out for dinner, Shen Xiao had already taken off his team uniform and changed into a black casual jacket. His long legs were wrapped in light blue jeans, his hair casually styled. His eyes were curved, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and his whole person carried an indescribable roguish charm.

Xu Ziyan instantly had a headache. He wasn’t good at dealing with Shen Xiao to begin with, and now because of Qu Qingyue’s matter, he didn’t know what to do even more.

He said, “Seamy, looking for me?”

Shen Xiao nodded. “It’s about today’s match.”

Xu Ziyan thought he wanted to discuss Qu Qingyue or the First String selection with him. Unexpectedly, Shen Xiao said, “Was there any mistake in my operation today?”

Shen Xiao laughed and said, “No, no, you played really well. Especially that healing bottle; several times I thought I was gone, but suddenly a bottle flew out from the enemy’s home and saved me… I wanted to say, I wasn’t in a good mood today, so some words and plays weren’t heartfelt, but it absolutely wasn’t because I was targeting you or dissatisfied with you.”

He scratched his hair. “When TWG was still a small team, we few had always been teammates. I really didn’t expect Clear to transfer, and the decision was so sudden, without any clue at all. I couldn’t accept it in my heart, so I couldn’t control my emotions a bit.”

Strictly speaking, Xu Ziyan was half the culprit for this matter. He instantly felt guilty and hurriedly pretended to be completely unaware of the facts, patting Shen Xiao’s shoulder. “It’s fine, I didn’t mind anyway.”

Shen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. “That’s good.”

Just like that, a calm month passed. TWG also fixed the mode where Clear played first in every match, and regardless of win or loss, Ice switched in for the second game.

Probably due to the two complementing each other, after a few matches, TWG gradually showed the unstoppable momentum of the last season. Not only did they not lose a match, but they also rarely lost small points.

With excellent results, the online waves gradually subsided. As the preseason points competition approached its end, after a training match, Yu Guangzhou officially announced the news of Qu Qingyue’s imminent transfer at the replay meeting.

People in TWG First String more or less knew about this matter, so everyone’s expressions were calm.

Yu Guangzhou’s main purpose in saying this wasn’t to notify them either. “Later, the official blog will formally release this news, and YNG will also coordinate the promotion. Pay attention to the comments, don’t talk nonsense, just simply show your teammate love.”

Shen Xiao sneered. “Then I really have too much teammate love.”

“Shen Xiao.” Xie Wei glanced at him coldly.

Shen Xiao knew he was in the wrong, turned his head, and shut his mouth.

Xie Wei didn’t say anything more. Instead, Bai Chen raised an eyebrow at Qu Qingyue, rarely showing a smile, and said, “Congratulations.”

At the end of the meeting, Yu Guangzhou pointed out Xu Ziyan. “Ice, this month is almost over.”

Xu Ziyan didn’t react to what this meant for a moment and gave a blank “Ah.”

Yu Guangzhou said, “Your live streaming hours aren’t up to standard yet, right?”

The contract Xu Ziyan signed was for thirty hours per month. Last month, he stumbled and barely passed the passing line. This month, because he was too busy with matches, he completely threw this matter to the back of his mind.

Seeing his face change color, Shen Xiao stepped forward. “Whoa, it’s fine. Aren’t there still a week of free time? Turn on the camera, eat takeout, slack off for a few days, and it’ll be done in the blink of an eye. By the way, how much longer do you have left?”

Xu Ziyan sighed deeply. “…Still about twenty hours.”

“…” Shen Xiao said, “So you haven’t streamed at all?”

Xu Ziyan gave an “En.” What he worried about wasn’t not finishing the streaming hours; staying up late for a few days would finish the task.

The problem was, today Clear announced her transfer, which meant he would officially become a TWG First String starter. The rotation of the two was acceptable to fans now, but Qu Qingyue leaving TWG was another matter.

In the eyes of outsiders, it would inevitably become TWG killing the donkey after it did the work, replacing the old with the new. And he, Ice, was the culprit, the unforgivable bad thing that forced Clear to find another way out.

Sigh, looks like I’m going to be scolded again.

However, Xu Ziyan only worried for a short while before returning to calm.

Since the Newcomer Cup, his ID had been flipping back and forth in the bloody online cursing wars. Wherever there was conflict, he was there. Even when Xu Ziyan casually scrolled through videos normally, he could see comments about himself in the comment section.

Therefore, he was a bit accustomed to it now, calm and unruffled.

Qu Qingyue obviously thought of this layer too and looked at Xu Ziyan. “Ice, how about we duo stream together for a while later?”

As another figure in the center of the topic, if she expressed her stance directly, the effect would naturally be better.

The problem was… Xu Ziyan said helplessly, “You are a Medic, I am also a Medic. How do we duo queue?”

Qu Qingyue said painfully, “I knew I should have learned a bit of Assaulter.”

Xu Ziyan said, “I completely agree.”

Qu Qingyue worried, “Then what should we do? …How about we open smurf accounts? You play Assaulter, I play Sniper, and we blend into the rank segment? Just treat it as an entertainment stream?”

Xu Ziyan thought about it and felt it wasn’t impossible.

However, he still shook his head and refused. “It’s fine, I’ll stream by myself.”

Seeing this, Qu Qingyue didn’t force it. She said a few words and left first.

Because he had to stream, Xu Ziyan didn’t linger in the training room at night but returned to the dormitory.

On Weibo, the news of Qu Qingyue’s transfer had been released. The comments below instantly exploded. Many people couldn’t believe Qu Qingyue chose to leave TWG. In the hearts of many old fans, the ID Clear was bound to TWG.

Then, just as Xu Ziyan expected earlier, the fans who liked Qu Qingyue shifted their anger to him, convinced that Qu Qingyue transferred because of his appearance.

Actually… that wasn’t entirely wrong.

He liked this Weibo post. Although he knew he would be scolded, he still posted a comment wishing Qu Qingyue smooth sailing in her career.

After commenting, Xu Ziyan didn’t look at the replies he received. He put down his phone and looked at the streaming interface in front of him.

Not streaming today means dying later anyway; better to get it over with early and be free.

Xu Ziyan took a deep breath and clicked start streaming.

Within a few minutes, the army of bullet comments rolled toward him like surging waves.

Countless malicious comments instantly flooded the screen. Xu Ziyan drank some water, calmed his mind, and calmly opened the game.

“I’ll stream solo Medic queue today,” he glanced at the bullet comments, trying his best to find a few readable ones from the countless trash talk to reply to. “Current score is 3987, ladder rank thirty-eight.”

“For the current version, personally, I am indeed used to bringing the taser gun, but actually, the combination of armor packs plus pistol is more common and has a wider application range.”

“Other classes? I really haven’t played them much, not too sure.”

While replying, Xu Ziyan moved the mouse to the ranked button.

The moment he clicked, the notification in the bottom right corner suddenly lit up.

Xu Ziyan looked confused, moved the mouse away from clicking ranked, and clicked on the bottom right corner instead.

A window popped up, the content inside displayed unreservedly before his and the live room audience’s eyes.

[Your friend Shining invited you to enter the game room. Mode: Duo Ranked. Accept invitation?]

Xu Ziyan’s hand trembled. Before his brain could digest the content, the mouse had already clicked the “Accept” button a step ahead.
