The Esports Big Shot Wants to Cuddle His New Teammate Every Day chapter 58

Chapter 58

Official redirection, simply put, meant opening a small room entrance on the official livestream page that led directly to his stream room. Needless to say, the heat would be immense; millions of viewers would be a piece of cake.

Seizing this opportunity, gaining both fame and fortune wouldn’t be an overstatement.

With such generous conditions, it would be absolutely false for Xu Ziyan to say he wasn’t tempted.

But the big tournament was imminent. Grinding out strategies and tactics alone required a lot of time, and he had no experience in casting. He truly couldn’t make a decision immediately.

Seeing his hesitation, Xie Wei asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

After hearing Xu Ziyan’s words, he laughed. “Then just agree. Anyway, we have to arrange to watch other teams’ matches then too; after all, they could all be opponents.”

Xu Ziyan said, “But I haven’t live-casted a match before…”

“There’s a first time for everything,” Xie Wei smiled. “Give it a try. It’s good experience.”

With support, Xu Ziyan no longer hesitated and replied, accepting Bai Ke’s invitation.

Since Bai Ke joined YNG, his flashy plays, good looks, and his background had all won him immense popularity. Coupled with the many fans he accumulated while in TWG’s second string, he could now be considered one of the hottest rookies in the esports circle.

In Jiang Yuxin’s words, he was a “Little Money Tree” that was growing well and had a promising future.

After knowing about this opportunity, without a second thought, he pushed Xu Ziyan forward and only notified Xu Ziyan afterward—a case of act first, report later.

Fortunately, Xu Ziyan also had the intention to go in this direction. Bai Ke had originally thought of a pile of drafts on how to “coerce and bribe” Xu Ziyan if he refused, but now they weren’t needed, so it was happily settled.

A few days later, the Resistance official Weibo formally announced TWG-Ice as the special online guest caster for this playoff match.

Jiang Yuxin calculated the estimated revenue of this stream. In the face of large bundles of banknotes and silver, the look in his eyes when he saw Xu Ziyan these days became increasingly loving.

Because Yuan Shaofeng sat next to Xu Ziyan, he got caught in the crossfire of this gaze every time he looked up. He rubbed the goosebumps on his arm and clicked his tongue. “Why is Manager Jiang’s look getting creepier?”

Xu Ziyan was concentrating on watching the recording of his ranked match, doing a personal review while silently adding commentary in his head as practice. Hearing this, he answered absent-mindedly, “This is the power of money.”

After Yuan Shaofeng joined the first team, his popularity growth was also gratifying. Although he hadn’t played an official match yet, so there wasn’t a particularly big splash, signs of him becoming the next “Little Money Tree” were already apparent.

Thinking that once his popularity rose, he might also receive such “care” from Jiang Yuxin, Yuan Shaofeng couldn’t help but shiver.

On the 27th, the day of the match, Xu Ziyan returned to the dormitory early to prepare for the live commentary.

Previously, when Jiang Yuxin wasn’t around, he would just cast his screen for streams. Now that Jiang Yuxin was back and finished with his tasks, he made time to create a cover for Xu Ziyan’s stream room, set up a stream group, and handed it over to internal team staff to manage.

For today’s commentary stream, Jiang Yuxin put in huge effort. Not only did he set up a camera for him, but he also bought a brand-new microphone for Xu Ziyan to use. Of course, all reimbursed by the team.

Xu Ziyan was flattered. “Manager, this… isn’t this a bit too much?”

“What’s too much about it?” Jiang Yuxin adjusted the camera and microphone for him. “It’s just because I wasn’t here that I got you equipped late. Counting on that bunch of Alphas for this stuff is pure nonsense… Today is your first time on the official redirect; it’s right to take it seriously. Fans are accumulated step by step. Do a good job.”

Xu Ziyan hurriedly said, “I will.”

Jiang Yuxin smiled, then suddenly looked at him teasingly. “Although I want to say ‘do a good job and earn more for the team,’ the fact is… TWG is Captain Xie’s property. With you spinning in the middle, it’s really just earning money for your own family. So, I won’t say such nonsense.”

Xu Ziyan was rarely teased to his face like this. He instantly became tongue-tied, not knowing what to say.

“That’s about enough,” Xie Wei walked into the room a step later. “Finished adjusting? If it’s done, hurry up and leave.”

Jiang Yuxin muttered resentfully about “killing the donkey after it does the grinding,” but didn’t dare stay long, leaving quickly.

Xu Ziyan touched his slightly hot cheek with the back of his hand and smiled at Xie Wei. “Captain.”

Xie Wei gave a grunt of acknowledgment, his gaze scrutinizing the Omega before him.

Because the camera would be on, Xu Ziyan’s attire wasn’t as casual as usual. Listening to Jiang Yuxin, he had also paid attention to styling. Seeing Xie Wei staring at him like this, he couldn’t help but feel self-conscious. “Is there something on my face?… Does it look weird?”

“Not weird. Just, I don’t know why, I’m a little uneasy letting others see you.”

“What do you say we should do?”

Xu Ziyan’s ears heated up. He turned his head to check the time and hesitated. “…Not enough time…”

Xie Wei intended to tease him. “Not enough for what?”

Xu Ziyan glanced at him, then suddenly turned around, facing away from Xie Wei. He reached one hand to his back neck and brushed aside the stray hair there.

The bite mark left from a few days ago was still imprinted on the Omega’s slender, fair neck. The gland was full and inviting, exuding the sweet fragrance of candy.

Xie Wei had originally intended to bully his little lover a bit, but seeing this, his breath hitched, almost unable to suppress the impulse rushing up from his heart.

Yet the young man, as if that wasn’t enough, urged in a small voice, “Only marking.”

“If you mark me, I’m yours. No matter how others look, they can’t take me away.”

Xie Wei’s throat itched. Unable to restrain himself any longer, he stepped forward, forcefully gripping the Omega’s flexible waist, encircling him in his arms. His lips brushed gently against the skin, and then, he opened his mouth and bit down without mercy.

Almost instantly, the sweet and sour scent of strawberries and the clear sweetness of marshmallows filled the entire room.

Immediately after, that sweetness, so rich it could form threads, was covered by the crisp scent of lemon mint. Two distinct pheromones—one dominating, the other willing to submit.

Xu Ziyan kept his eyes tightly shut. Only when he felt the injection of pheromones into his nape slowly stop did he open his trembling eyelashes. The excessive stimulation caused tears to spill over, clinging finely to his long lashes.

His legs were so weak he could barely stand, his whole body leaning into the Alpha’s embrace behind him. “…Done?”

Xie Wei sighed with satisfaction, licking the tooth mark he had left. “Done.”

Even after leaving Xu Ziyan’s room, he was still savoring it, thinking rather improperly: If every stream could have such benefits… Better not. Training is usually hard enough; better not shortchange my own lover.

Moreover, Xie Wei knew very well that as long as he made a request, Xu Ziyan would absolutely not refuse.

It was only because he cherished and pitied him that he wouldn’t cross the line, and certainly wouldn’t take advantage of his love to commit crimes.

In the room, Xu Ziyan took a deep breath, repeatedly confirming that his state had returned to normal, before opening the streaming software and officially starting the broadcast.

He must have been possessed just now to make such a bold invitation.

But hearing Xie Wei’s seemingly breezy but actually possessive words, he truly couldn’t control himself. Not just for Xie Wei, but because he himself also craved Xie Wei’s mark.

Coughing lightly to dispel the romantic thoughts in his mind, Xu Ziyan raised his hand and turned on the camera. “Can you see me?”

[Look what I found! A wild Ice!]

[Wow, there’s a camera today!]

[Can the streamer turn off the filter? This is too fake.]

Xu Ziyan narrowed his eyes at the danmu and tilted his head. “…Filter? Did I turn it on? Where do I adjust that?”

Jiang Yuxin had long been squatting in Xu Ziyan’s stream room downstairs with his phone. Hearing this, he hurriedly spoke using the moderator account: [No filter on! Our camera only has raw image quality! No beauty functions!]

Because he managed the stream rooms for everyone in the first team, Jiang Yuxin’s streaming account was quite famous among TWG fans. When he spoke, it carried plenty of credibility.

[Some people can’t eat grapes so they say the grapes are sour. Just because you don’t look as good as others, you say they use beauty filters. I won’t name names.]

[I’ve been to the venue. I verify, Ice himself really looks like this! He looks even better in reality!]

[TWG being the ‘Visuals Team’ is no joke ww]

In the camera, the Omega youth wearing the TWG uniform curved his lips and smiled gently. “Mn, thank you. But the match is about to start, so better not focus too much on my looks. Please put your concern on the upcoming match.”

“Who do I favor more? Mn… actually both teams are quite amazing. YNG’s assault line is excellent, and their medic and sniper have improved greatly after reinforcement. FTK’s 2-2 strategy is also very strong in the new version. You should have all seen the last match.”

“KK? Yes, we are good friends.” Xu Ziyan smiled. “I’m here for this commentary thanks to his recommendation. I’m very grateful to him.”

“Then why don’t I favor him… how should I put it? One reason is that FTK is indeed strong; I have to be realistic when I speak.”

“The other reason is, I believe that even without my deliberate defense, KK has enough strength to prove himself.”

After saying this sentence, the screen lit up. The official stream began.

The opening was, as usual, the host doing the opening remarks and introductions with a face full of smiles. Xu Ziyan perked up and sat straight. “It’s starting.”

Inside the YNG lounge, Bai Ke smiled, took off his headphones, closed the stream room, hummed a song, stood up, and zipped up his team jacket.

Qu Qingyue saw he was in a good mood and was a bit surprised and curious. “Did something good happen? It’s rare to see you this happy.”

Bai Ke smiled slightly at her. “Nothing.”

“Just knowing there’s someone who trusts you… that feeling is pretty nice.”
