There's a trash-talker in the esports scene who has a foul mouth but excellent skills. They've made countless enemies in the professional circle, living on hot searches 366 days a year, wit...
Shen Weiqi held his breath without knowing when.
The whole room was very quiet, so quiet that Jiang Zhi couldn't hear any noise through the phone.
Seeing that Shen Weiqi hadn't responded for a long time, Jiang Zhi asked tentatively: "Shen Weiqi, are you still there?"
Jiang Zhi's voice was very soft, but it weighed a thousand pounds in Shen Weiqi's ears.
He lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, as if mocking his own worthlessness.
Shen Weiqi knew that he was used to being thick-skinned, so he never took anything in the world to heart.
But just now, Jiang Zhi's indifferent words, "Congratulations, you're getting a boyfriend," instantly drained his rationality.
And he almost "surrendered" in front of Jiang Zhi without any principles.
After a long while, Shen Weiqi's consciousness was slowly pulled back, and he slowly replied: "Yes."
Jiang Zhi on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief: "What happened to you just now?"
Shen Weiqi didn't hide anything and replied frankly: "Nothing, I was just so surprised that I forgot I was still alive."
Although the content of Shen Weiqi's words was not serious, Jiang Zhi unexpectedly felt that his tone was very sincere, as if he was really surprised to the point of forgetting himself.
Jiang Zhi said "Oh" and then fell silent.
It was her first time falling in love, and she didn't know what to say.
If she replied "I'm surprised too" at this time, it would seem too pretentious and like she's just trying to give in.
But if she didn't reply, she was worried that Shen Weiqi would think he was wishful thinking.
Shen Weiqi didn't notice anything was wrong with Jiang Zhi. He chuckled self-deprecatingly, as if he was having trouble speaking. "Can you...can you say it again? I didn't hear you clearly just now."
Jiang Zhi withdrew his thoughts and was puzzled for a moment: "What did you say?"
Shen Weiqi: "What did you just ask me to congratulate you on?"
Jiang Zhi had no experience in love, and was embarrassed and at a loss after hearing what Chen Weiqi said.
Jiang Zhi asked, "Didn't you hear clearly just now?"
Shen Weiqi said shamelessly: “Yes.”
"Oh," Jiang Zhi knew that Shen Weiqi did it on purpose. She thought about it carefully for a while and said, "You probably remembered it wrong. I didn't ask you to congratulate me."
Shen Weiqi knew that Jiang Zhi had not been fooled, and as if complaining, he silently added: "What a clever person."
Jiang Zhi refused to be outdone and replied, "Fox spirit."
It was the first time that Shen Weiqi was given such a nickname. He seemed to find it funny: "Why am I a vixen?"
Jiang Zhi couldn't think of any reason to explain why she felt that Shen Weiqi was a vixen, but since he had already called her a 'human spirit', she had to say something back, otherwise she would suffer.
In the midst of this unreasonable talk, Jiang Zhi insisted, "Don't you look like a vixen? I think you do."
Shen Weiqi didn't argue with her: "Okay, if you think I am, then I am."
Shen Weiqi was rarely obedient, and Jiang Zhi couldn't help laughing. She said, "Why do I feel that fox spirits sound better than human spirits? At least fox spirits are still good-looking."
Shen Weiqi sneered: "How about I give it to you?"
Jiang Zhi: "..."
Is she digging a hole for herself?
Seeing that Jiang Zhi didn't speak, Shen Weiqi didn't continue the previous topic. He said, "Are you free tomorrow? I want to make an appointment with you."
Jiang Zhi: "Hmm? Ask me out?"
"Yes," Shen Weiqi continued, "as a boyfriend."
Boy friend?
Shen Weiqi's adaptation to his new identity was somewhat beyond Jiang Zhi's expectations. He smiled lightly and answered cheerfully, "Okay."
Shen Weiqi: "Then you can take a day off tomorrow."
"During the day?" Jiang Zhi thought Shen Weiqi would say dinner time, or after training.
Who knew that he was talking about daytime.
Jiang Zhi pondered her training plan for a moment. "But Coach Xing told me to play duo with Lin Chong'an if I have nothing to do during the day. Our style is too aggressive, and I'm worried we'll lose control during the official competition."
Shen Weiqi: "It's okay, I'll talk to Old Xing, he will agree."
Jiang Zhi still didn't want to delay her training. She hesitated for a moment: "Where are we going? Somewhere important?"
Shen Weiqi replied seriously: "It's very important."
Jiang Zhi discussed it: "Then can we wait until the training is over?"
Shen Weiqi thought about the time carefully: "After the training match, the time is not right. It's too late and I can't make it back."
Jiang Zhi asked, "Then can we do it the day after tomorrow?"
Shen Weiqi thought about it for a while and said, "It doesn't seem possible. The Demacia Cup will be in two weeks. Although it's not a particularly formal competition, it's your first time standing on the field of a formal competition after all, so the training afterwards will probably be very tight, and you won't even have time to rest."
At this point, Shen Weiqi seemed to recall something funny and continued, “If you ask for leave or rest during intense training, He Xiaoxi will definitely get mad.”
Jiang Zhi thought about it for a while and felt that what Shen Weiqi said made sense. She carefully asked, "What does He Xiaoxi look like when he gets angry? Is it scary?"
Shen Weiqi thought for a moment and said, "Wusui and I are used to it, so we don't find it scary. If I really have to describe it to you, it's like He Xiaoxi is halfway through taking a shower, then wearing big shorts, with a foam head, standing in the training room with his hands pinched at the waist, holding a stick in his hand, acting as an artificial Bodhisattva."
In an instant, Jiang Zhi had a rough idea of the scene in his mind.
“That’s really scary,” she said.
Shen Weiqi: “Well, after taking leave tomorrow, remember to run away quickly and don’t let He Xiaoxi find out.”
Jiang Zhi believed Shen Weiqi's words, and she responded, "Okay."
Shen Weiqi added: "I may have something to do tomorrow, and may leave very early, you..."
Before Shen Weiqi could think of what to say next, Jiang Zhi took the lead and said, "I'll wait for you in the training room tomorrow."
Shen Weiqi hesitated for a moment, and then hesitantly said, "Okay, then...good night, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After saying that, Jiang Zhi seemed to have thought of something. Before hanging up the phone, she said, "Chen Weiqi, can I ask you for a favor?"
Shen Weiqi calmed down and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I... I really want to make our relationship public, but I'm worried my brother will find out." Jiang Zhi pursed her lips and continued, "You know my brother's personality. He always thinks I'm still young and is afraid that I'll suffer any harm. So if he knew I have a boyfriend and that we're on the same team, I think he would go crazy."
Shen Weiqi and Jiang Sui have been together for many years, so he naturally knows how much Jiang Sui dotes on her as a younger sister.
Jiang Sui had warned him several times before to stay away from Jiang Zhi.
The previous few times, Shen Weiqi agreed nonchalantly.
But how can one change "liking" to "disliking" simply by agreeing to it?
At least Shen Weiqi felt that he couldn't do it.
Seeing that Shen Weiqi on the other end of the phone didn't agree for a long time, Jiang Zhi felt that he seemed unhappy.
After all, the two of them were together, and hiding it like they were having an underground relationship was a bit inappropriate. She took a step back and said, "You don't need to wait too long. Once I persuade my brother, we will go public."
Shen Weiqi: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Jiang Zhi didn't sleep much that night because she was so excited.
She never imagined that after just one night and one phone call, she would have a boyfriend.
And this boyfriend is Shen Weiqi.
This is a bit too fast.
Although she likes Shen Weiqi very much, she agreed too decisively. Would Shen Weiqi think that she is the kind of girl who will agree to anyone's confession?
Should she hold on a little longer?
But if she persisted a little longer, what should she say?
It can't be "I like you too, but you have to pursue me for a few more days."
Jiang Zhi excitedly rehearsed the content of the evening phone call in her mind.
However, no matter how it was repeated or how it was deduced, Jiang Zhi felt that even if the matter happened again, she would still agree without hesitation.
While Jiang Zhi tossed and turned, it was dawn outside.
Jiang Zhi didn't sleep well that night, but she still got up early. After washing up, she seemed to have endless energy and was full of energy.
She trotted to the club entrance, took the elevator, and went straight to the club floor.
Early in the morning, there were not many people walking in the corridor, and almost everyone knew Jiang Zhi.
They did not greet Jiang Zhi, but looked her up and down with scrutinizing eyes.
Jiang Zhi felt a little confused, but she didn't think much about it and walked to the training room alone.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw that the training room was already full of the second team of children.
In order to ensure the players' training, the ITG training room is generally only open to the starting players of a team.
The kids from Team 2 can only stay in the computer room next door.
At this time, the children from the second team gathered in two small groups in the training room, one at Han Bing's position and the other at Squid's position. They were holding notebooks seriously and recording something, as if they were asking for some techniques.
Noticing the door behind them being pushed open, they instinctively looked back and saw Jiang Zhi coming over. They all stiffened and greeted him.
Jiang Zhi was so frightened that she was stunned for a second, and then nodded in response.
As soon as she sat down in her seat, a group of kids from Team 2 surrounded her.
Jiang Zhi was frightened by his sudden approach and was stunned for a few seconds. Then he glanced and saw several children from the second team behind him.
They stood next to Squid, holding notebooks, staring at her with strange eyes.
For some reason, Jiang Zhi read a kind of fear in their eyes.
Like they wanted to get closer, but were worried she would turn into a dinosaur and eat them.
The kid from Team Two, who was leaning against Jiang Zhi, was the first to ask, "Second Master, are you really going to dominate the world?"
"Huh?" Jiang Zhi didn't know why she suddenly revealed her true identity. Before she could look away, she felt that everyone's eyes were fixed on her, as if they were eavesdropping on her answer.
Jiang Zhi glanced at them and saw that the children from Team 2, who were eating melons around them, were not surprised at all. She asked uncertainly, "Who told you that?"
The kid next to Jiang Zhi thought Jiang Zhi might be angry, so he quickly explained, "A few days ago, there were rumors that you used connections to join the pro team. So a few of us on our second team got restless, feeling like we had no hope of becoming a starter at ITG. So they all started trying to transfer to other clubs. Many of those who couldn't transfer also protested, and the situation became a big deal. To calm people down, Manager He told us that you are the 'Master Dominates the World' from the Kuhu livestream studio, and that your successful joining ITG is a blessing for ITG."
Jiang Zhi wasn't surprised: "Oh."
The kids from Team Two asked tentatively, "Are you really the Second Master?"
Although the ID "Ye Dominates the World" was already notorious in the entire esports circle, Jiang Zhi didn't seem to intend to hide it from the child. She replied frankly, "Yes, it's me."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a buzz of discussion around her.
Jiang Zhi could still vaguely hear what they were discussing.
"I'll go, take pictures quickly, big news."
"The Lifetime Series."
"Fuck, I wanted to be the starter, but this troll took it. It's frustrating, but I'm convinced."
Hearing the conversation between the kids from Team 2, Jiang Zhi felt a little helpless.
It's true that they were discussing in a low voice, but she's not deaf, okay?
She raised her eyes and swept over with a cold gaze. The children from the second team suddenly became speechless.
The child continued to ask: "I, I am your fan, can I get an autograph?"
Jiang Zhi looked up and down at the kid from the second team in front of him. He was not very old, about 17 years old. He was not tall, had dark skin, a thin and weak body, and a pair of silly glasses hanging on his nose.
Looks very honest.
Jiang Zhi couldn't believe that 'Ye Dominates the World' had fans. She repeatedly confirmed, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, Erye, I only play the AD carry position because of you. I think the combos you talk about on your live broadcasts and your understanding of heroes are very suitable for me. That's why I watch every one of your live broadcasts. I think if you join a professional team, you will be the strongest AD carry in the LPL, no doubt about it. I never thought that I would be on the same team with you. I'm really happy." After saying this, he scratched the back of his head embarrassedly: "Erye, I always thought you were a boy, but I didn't expect... you are actually a girl, and so beautiful. I... I'm so excited that I don't know what to say. You should understand."
Although the words of the kid from Team 2 were a bit confusing, Jiang Zhi still understood the general idea - he was praising her.
"Thank you. What's your name?" Jiang Zhi asked calmly.
"My name is Xia Ruosheng," Xia Ruosheng replied tremblingly. "Manager He Xiaoxi said that you can't play in the game due to public opinion, so I'm on the bench. When you can play, I'll return to my position as the 'water dispenser.'"
The kid from Team 2 named Xia Ruosheng spoke sincerely, without any concealment.
It was rare for Jiang Zhi to see such a genuine boy, and her cold voice also took on some warmth: "Where is the signature?"
Xia Ruosheng quickly handed over the red notebook in his arms and said, "Here, please write one more sentence, wishing Xia Ruosheng to become the starter as soon as possible."
"Okay." Jiang Zhi agreed.
After signing, Jiang Zhigang handed the notebook to Xia Ruosheng when Lin Chongan pushed the door and walked in.
The moment he opened the door, he didn't forget to yawn.
As if wanting to wake up, all the hair on the body is standing on end.
His whole body revealed a sense of fatigue.
The moment he saw Jiang Zhi, the fatigue on his face instantly disappeared. He ran up to Jiang Zhi and said, "Second Master, you're finally here! I missed you so much. After you left yesterday, I duo-queued with a kid from Team 2. It nearly drove me crazy. Oh my god, how could there be such a bad player in this world? I think about it. In ITG, if you weren't my AD carry when I was in the bot lane, I think I would have shut myself down."
Before Jiang Zhi could speak, Lin Chong'an continued, "Yes, it's the kid next to you. He's an AD carry, but his playstyle is timid. Unlike you, I prefer to play support for you."
Lin Chongan's words were heard by the squid beside him.
He pushed through the crowd and said to Lin Chongan, "What do you mean you just like to assist the Second Master? Watch your words. The Second Master is my Chicken God. Don't try to hit on her."
Jiang Zhi widened his eyes vigilantly: "!"
Lin Chongan didn't notice the implication behind Wu Zetian's words: "What do you mean by Second Master is the Chicken God? Second Master is clearly ours, what are you saying, you damned thief? I can spread rumors, but if you spread rumors about my Second Master, I will chop off your head."
Wu Ze was angered by Lin Chong'an's words. He said, "Lin Chong'an, don't think I don't know why you joined ITG. Isn't it just to be able to support my Second Master?"
Lin Chong'an didn't feel embarrassed at all because of Wu Zetian's revelation. He replied, "Yes, that's right. If Erye hadn't joined ITG this season, who would have joined a low-ranking team like yours?"
Squid: "You and Yin Nansheng are both coveting the Second Master and are greedy for our Second Master."
"Yes! I just covet her, you damned thief, what can you do to me?"
The words between Wu Zetian and Lin Chong'an became more and more heated, and later on, Jiang Zhi felt that they seemed to be arguing.
She didn't quite understand how things were developing. The two of them were obviously doing well before, so why did one suddenly say that he coveted her and the other said that he was greedy for her?
Are these two people arguing too much?
Jiang Zhi was about to stop him.
Squid's emotions were out of control, and he deliberately provoked Lin Chong'an, saying, "Lin Chong'an, I'm telling you, don't bother our Second Master. Our Second Master is a family man. You didn't know what happened last night, but last night our Second Master personally called my Chicken God to congratulate her on having a boyfriend. Do you know what a boyfriend is? It's someone you can marry after you retire. You must be curious about who Second Master's boyfriend is. I'm not afraid to tell you that Second Master's boyfriend is my Shen Weiqi, my Chicken Brother, and my Chicken God."
The last syllable of his words was so resounding that it hammered deeply into Jiang Zhi's heart.
As soon as the words fell, the whole room fell silent.
Squid seemed very satisfied with the atmosphere in the room. He still asked Jiang Zhi fearlessly: "Right, Second Master, am I right?"
Jiang Zhi: "..."
Jiang Zhi couldn't understand why Wu Zetian and Lin Chong'an were gossiping about their quarrels? She didn't get involved, so why did she expose their gossip?
And she had just discussed it with Shen Weiqi yesterday and decided not to make it public for the time being.
As a result, before the "promise" was even warmed up, the big mouth of the squid blurted out everything.
Now, he still has the nerve to ask her if she was wrong?
Jiang Zhi didn't know what to reply for a moment.
Suddenly, the door creaked, as if someone pushed it open.
Jiang Zhi looked over.
Through the crowd, Jiang Zhi saw a man standing at the door. He had handsome features, fair skin, and a three-dimensional and natural jaw. He had a soft yet tough look.
Looking closely, his eyebrows and eyes are surprisingly similar to Jiang Zhi's, except that his face is gloomy and the air pressure around him is several degrees lower, as if he had eaten bitter melon.
Jiang Zhi recognized the person at a glance. It was her brother, Jiang Sui.
Jiang Zhi: "..."
What you worry about will come true.
Jiang Zhi sat in the passenger seat of Jiang Sui's car and glanced at Jiang Sui carefully.
Jiang Sui didn't say a word since she got in the car.
Perhaps noticing Jiang Zhi's gaze, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye: "What's going on between you and Shen Weiqi?"
Jiang Zhi had previously worried that Jiang Sui would go crazy if he knew about her and Shen Weiqi, but now that things had come to this point, she had become more open-minded: "It's okay, we're together."
Jiang Sui seemed to be furious: "I know you like my brother and are determined to find someone like him. But you can find someone with a similar personality to mine, or someone who looks similar to me, but why did you find someone who is about the same age as me?"
Jiang Zhi looked at the road ahead and answered honestly: "I think Shen Weiqi has a better personality than you and looks better than you. The only thing you have in common with him is age."
Jiang Sui: “…”
After a long while, Jiang Sui cursed, "Fuck, we're not even married yet, and you're already siding with him?"
Jiang Zhi denied: "No, I'm telling the truth."
Jiang Sui recalled Shen Weiqi's sudden phone call to ask him to take Jiang Zhi home. He snorted coldly, "I knew that Shen Weiqi was shameless. He suddenly called me brother today, so it must be something bad. Before, I thought he wanted something from me, but now it seems that he has other plans."
Jiang Zhi grasped the key point in Jiang Sui's words: "Did Shen Weiqi ask you to come?"
"Or else, do you think I'm idle?" Jiang Sui replied.
Jiang Zhi asked in confusion, "Why isn't he coming?"
Yesterday, Shen Weiqi had promised her that he would come and pick her up for a date.
"I don't know. Maybe he went to eat shit." Jiang Sui answered casually.
Jiang Zhi ignored Jiang Sui's explosive words and asked, "So where are we going now?"
Jiang Sui's tone became more alert and he asked, "Where else do you want to go? Home, of course."
Jiang Zhi was silent for a moment, and the quarrel between him and Meng Qian when he left home flashed through his mind, and he seemed a little guilty.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never argued with Meng Qian.
She rarely even said no.
Jiang Zhi: "Is Mom okay after I leave?"
"It's okay. She's fine. She hasn't lost weight or fainted. She can even have a tango tonight." Jiang Sui continued while driving, "She's living a better life than when you were at home."
Jiang Zhi smiled softly. She certainly knew what Jiang Sui meant.
He said this on purpose just to let her play the game with peace of mind.
Although her brother is a bit mean on weekdays, he is still very warm at critical moments.
Jiang Zhi didn't continue. Jiang Sui said, "A few days ago, I heard that Mom beat you, so when I had some free time, I asked her why she did that. She said she regretted it and that you were grown up and needed to make your own way."
Jiang Zhi: "She's not angry anymore?"
Jiang Sui: "There's no overnight hatred between husband and wife. You are the flesh cut from her body. No matter what you did wrong, she will forgive you. It's just a matter of time."
Jiang Zhi replied: "Oh."
When they encountered a red light, Jiang Sui stopped the car, put his arm lazily on the steering wheel, turned his head and stared at Jiang Zhi intently, and asked casually: "How long have you and Shen Weiqi been together?"
Jiang Zhi simply replied: "11."
Jiang Sui: “11 days?”
Jiang Zhi: "11 hours."
Jiang Sui: “…”
After realizing what was happening, Jiang Sui immediately jumped up in anger: "Fuck, it's only been 11 hours, and that idiot Shen Weiqi is already anxious to meet the parents?"
Jiang Zhi: "Hmm? Meet the parents? Wha...what's going on?"
"That idiot Shen Weiqi..." Jiang Sui said casually, then swallowed it back, "You should ask him in person. Who can understand the mind of an idiot except the idiot himself?"
Jiang Sui kept yelling at people like "idiot". Jiang Zhi reminded him, "How can you curse at me?"
"Is that a human being I'm scolding?" Jiang Sui replied.
Jiang Zhi kindly reminded him, "You can't swear either. If Mom finds out, the consequences will definitely be more horrible than if I played games."
"I didn't curse at home, so how did she know I cursed anyone?" Jiang Sui looked at Jiang Zhi for a few times, "Fuck, you don't want to complain, do you?"
Jiang Zhi gave Jiang Sui a side profile, raised his chin and said, "I can't say for sure."
Jiang Sui rolled his eyes at her: "Little ungrateful bastard."
"No, I'm not a little ungrateful person." Jiang Zhi corrected Jiang Sui's mistake and then explained solemnly, "I'm a little smart guy, thank you."
Jiang Zhi's expressionless words made Jiang Sui a little stunned: "Little smart guy? Jiang Zhi, how can you praise yourself so calmly and calmly?"
Jiang Zhi: “No.”
"You call yourself a little smart guy, don't you think it's incongruous? Jiang Zhi, are you so narcissistic after falling in love?" Jiang Sui.
Jiang Zhi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're only narcissistic when you're in love."
Jiang Sui: "Do you know what the term "little clever ghost" is used to describe?"
Jiang Zhi replied nonchalantly, "It describes someone who is clever, tactful, and able to handle things without offending others. They can handle themselves well in crowded situations. Isn't that me?"
Jiang Sui felt that his sister's narcissism increased rapidly after she fell in love.
He seemed to be amazed at the change in his sister, and asked in a playful tone, "Dear Master, the global anchor, dear troll of Kuhu Live, I want to interview you. How did your temper change so much? You even think the term "little clever" is appropriate for yourself. With your temperament of constantly attacking people, how can you still be smooth and tactful? Have you lost even the basic judgment of yourself?"
Jiang Zhi replied shamelessly, "No."
Jiang Sui: "Then tell me, why do you suddenly praise yourself as a clever kid?"
Jiang Zhi deliberately tried to piss him off, with a proud expression on her face, and replied briskly, "Because I think I'm naturally smart."
Jiang Sui was stunned for a moment: "Who made you have such a big deviation in your perception of yourself? Could it be Shen Weiqi?"
Jiang Zhi quickly replied: "Yeah."
"What did he say?"
Jiang Zhi thought of Shen Weiqi's confession and smiled lightly: "He said I was light."
Jiang Sui: "Fuck, he can even say such disgusting words?"
Jiang Zhi: "Hmph."
"No wonder you suddenly became so narcissistic. The frustration education I gave you over the past decade is not as good as one sentence from Shen Weiqi. Oh, Jiang Zhi, you better be more relaxed." Jiang Sui said.
Jiang Zhi didn't argue with Jiang Sui and replied briskly, "I know."
