"Hurry up," Lin Mi urged, "I've prepared a full set for you, with underwear, just take off all your clothes."
Rong Zezhou: ...
Lin Mi looked at Rong Zezhou who was standing still with doubt: "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
Rong Zezhou swallowed, put the clothes in his hands aside, and pulled the edge of the short-sleeves with both hands to take them off from over his head.
Although he stays indoors playing games all year round, Rong Zezhou still maintains the habit of daily exercise, so he doesn't have any extra fat on his body. He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He is thin but not skinny, and you can even see distinct abdominal muscles.
Lin Mi poked Rong Zezhou's abdominal muscles with his fingers with some envy: "Tsk tsk, we are both otakus, why do you have abdominal muscles that I don't have?"
According to his observation, Rong Zezhou just goes out to walk the dog and take a walk every day these days, and he has never seen him do any other exercise. How can he still maintain such a good figure?
Rong Zezhou's ears were quietly stained with a blush. He turned his head a little unnaturally and said, "Probably because I eat less than you."
Lin Mi: ...
Can we still have a good chat?
Does he eat that much?
It's just that I can eat six buns in one meal, it's all because Rong Zezhou's bun fillings are so delicious!
"Hurry up and put on your clothes. It's just a few abdominal muscles. Why are you showing them off?"
Lin Mi rolled her eyes in disgust, but when Rong Zezhou was clumsily putting on his underwear, she couldn't help but lend a hand to help.
Rong Zezhou raised his hands high, allowing Lin Mi to tie his belt in a posture that was almost like an embrace. The bright red on his ears never faded, and even became brighter.
Since childhood, he has been accustomed to living alone. It is rare for him to maintain such a close distance with someone, so close that he can feel the landlord's warm breath spraying on his chest and abdomen, warm and itchy.
Rong Zezhou subconsciously tightened his abdomen but did not dodge. The young man's intimate behavior not only did not annoy him, but he felt a little bit of enjoyment.
"Okay, you can wear your underwear like this."
Lin Mi fastened his belt and stood up. When he looked up, he saw Rong Zezhou holding his hands up obediently. He immediately smiled:
"Ship God, has anyone ever told you that you are so obedient and well behaved, like a kindergarten kid?"
He looks tall, serious and solemn on the surface, but he is actually a very gentle person in private.
During the time they lived together, they had disagreements due to different living habits, but Rong Zezhou always gave in first.
From the beginning, it was agreed that they would just help him cook to pay for the rent, but later even Da Tao and Zhu Sha knew to ask Rong Zezhou for food when they were hungry. Gradually, whether it was playing with the cats and dogs or doing housework, Rong Zezhou took care of it all.
However, in just a dozen days, he seemed to have been spoiled by Rong Zezhou. He didn't know how to cook before and could make do with ordering takeout for fast food, but now he only wanted to eat the food cooked by Rong Zezhou.
In the past, when he played a horror game, no matter how scared he was, he just had cats and dogs to keep him company. But now, even when he is playing League of Legends, he is used to having Rong Zezhou by his side.
"Ship God, what should I do if you leave?"
Lin Mi suddenly sighed.
Rong Zezhou put down his hands and said meaningfully, "Roll called me this morning and said that the new team base has been almost ready and the team members can move in in two days."
Lin Mi's hand holding the coat suddenly paused, and he asked nervously, "Are you going to move there too?"
"Yeah," Rong Zezhou seemed not to notice the change in Lin Mi's tone, and replied calmly, "I plan to go to the XY team base tomorrow to pack my things and send them to the new base first, and pick a room by the way."
Lin Mi: ...
An inexplicable feeling of grievance suddenly surged into his heart, and the coat in Lin Mi's hand fell down.
The joy that he had just felt about wanting to see Rong Zezhou wearing the clothes he had made was gone, and even his hair seemed to become limp and no longer upright.
If he didn't ask today, did Rong Zezhou plan to leave tomorrow?
At least you should discuss it with him.
Looking at the young man in front of him who bowed his head and said nothing, Rong Zezhou couldn't bear it and hurriedly asked: "Do you want to go on a tour with me?"
If the landlord likes it, can he just extend an invitation?
Lin Mi raised his head and looked at Rong Zezhou, with a forced smile on his face, and shook his head: "Forget it, I still have to live broadcast, if you need a car, you can drive it yourself. This coat is a bit ill-fitting, I will go and alter it."
After saying that, he took the coat that Rong Zezhou had not put on yet and turned around and walked out.
Rong Zezhou stood there without moving, feeling happy and confused.
He was happy that Lin Mi was reluctant to let him go, but confused as to why Lin Mi didn't want to go with him.
Maybe he was overthinking it. The landlord was doing well in his live broadcast and there was no need for him to change his life for someone he had just met, but he still wanted to give it a try.
At least he should let the landlord see his arrangements with his own eyes and ask the landlord in person whether he is willing, only then he can give up.
…
Lin Mi was distracted from everything he did that day, as he was always thinking about Rong Zezhou's departure.
He deliberately pretended to be busy preparing for the live broadcast and ignored Rong Zezhou's hesitation to speak, because he was afraid that Rong Zezhou wanted to say goodbye.
Until the stylist left, Lin Mi did not mention again about asking Rong Zezhou to cosplay with him. Rong Zezhou couldn't help but ask, but Lin Mi just said that he forgot to prepare a wig for him.
In fact, he had already decided to ask Rong Zezhou to cosplay with him. Even the clothes were made according to Rong Zezhou's size. How could he forget to prepare a wig?
It's just because he doesn't like this kind of ceremonial farewell.
It was as if because they were going to separate, no matter what request he made, Rong Zezhou would agree to it, but no matter what Rong Zezhou did for him, the coming separation would not change.
This was the case before his grandfather passed away. No matter what he said, his grandfather would happily agree. However, when he was caught off guard, his grandfather left him forever.
Before my grandfather closed his eyes, he was still wearing the fancy clothes he had deliberately made. Those were the clothes my grandfather had always disliked, but because I was going to leave him, I wore them on purpose to cheer him up.
But he would rather his grandfather had never worn that dress, so that he wouldn't be secretly happy like a fool, not knowing that the ending was already determined.
[Anchor, you have walked this road three times...]
[Zizi, why are you silent today? ]
[My son, this black and white Fuyu is absolutely beautiful! But son, why do you look unhappy? ]
[Host, where is your man? Why doesn't he come and play games with you? ]
[Did they have a fight? Why do I feel like Xiaomi is about to cry——]
"Don't talk nonsense, I just can't find the way," Lin Mi manipulated the dusty male protagonist to turn around in circles, "Which road did you just say I walked three times?"
"You've walked the road on the right three times," Rong Zezhou, who had been sitting on the sofa with Lin Mi, couldn't help but say, "You're used to turning right every time, but the road on the right is a circle."
"oh."
Lin Mi responded, then walked towards the road to the left of his perspective. After taking a few steps, he was suddenly held down from behind by someone.
Rong Zezhou stood behind the chair, with his hands stretched out from both sides of Lin Mi. He pressed the keyboard with one hand to let the dizzy male protagonist step back, and with the other hand held Lin Mi's hand holding the mouse, and led him to turn the perspective so that the correct intersection stopped in front of him.
"The road you just entered is still on the right, but because of your position, you think it is on the left."
Rong Zezhou's voice was low but with a smile, "You should go this way."
This intimate posture, as if being held in Rong Zezhou's arms, caused a crazy twisting of the barrage and made Lin Mi's back a little stiff.
It seemed like he was the only one who was troubled this afternoon, but Rong Zezhou was not affected at all, and continued to accompany him gently. He did not show any dissatisfaction towards his unreasonable behavior, and even the afternoon tea just now was still as delicious as before.
Lin Mi curled his fingers slightly, then suddenly looked up at Rong Zezhou who was standing behind him, and said, "It's not the first day you know I don't know the way. Otherwise, will you help me find the way like last time?"
Hey, forget it. I don't know why I'm being so pretentious. Rong Zezhou is just going back to the team to play in the game. It's not like we'll never see each other again after he leaves. The worst that can happen is—
At worst, he could go to his team to find him.
I don't know if Rong Zezhou will have time to cook after resuming training. If it's during holidays or when he wins a competition, it wouldn't be too much for him to go and have a meal, right?
I heard from Gudong that all e-sports teams keep pets, so it's not too much for him to bring cats and dogs with him when he eats, right?
"Ship God, none of your teammates are allergic to cat hair or afraid of dogs, right?"
When Rong Zezhou went to pull a chair over to sit down, Lin Mi suddenly asked this.
[My son, you really don't treat mothers as outsiders. Can I listen to this for free? ]
[The one in front, hand over the content you imagined! ]
[So, after the holiday, Xiaomi is going to go to the base with the ship god? ]
[It's so funny, anyone can play professionally now? ]
[What nonsense are you talking about? We Xiaomi are the family members of the contestants, okay? ]
Rong Zezhou glanced at the comments, but had no intention of stopping them: "I'm not sure, but there's no one else in my dormitory, so it should be very convenient."
It's very convenient for you to move in directly.
Lin Mi was satisfied, and he stood up again. While controlling the male protagonist to move forward, he re-answered the question Rong Zezhou had asked before: "I think it's a bit disloyal to let you move things alone. If you really need help, it's okay for me to miss the live broadcast tomorrow."
——
[Srds, shouldn’t we avoid topics like pigeon live broadcasts? ]
[Has the ship god decided to change teams? Is he really going to WDG? ]
"Yes, I really need help. Thank you very much."
Rong Zezhou smiled and tolerated Lin Mi's little arrogance, and then said to the barrage, "Don't ask about the transfer, everything is subject to the official announcement."
Lin Mi realized belatedly that he seemed to have said something wrong, and turned to look at Rong Zezhou somewhat at a loss.
The transfer hasn't been announced yet, but he said this. Although Rong Zezhou didn't admit it, their conversation basically confirmed it. Will this cause trouble for Rong Zezhou?
Rong Zezhou raised his hand and wanted to stroke the landlord's hair, but he couldn't bear to mess up Lin Mi's long and smooth wig, so he could only pat him on the shoulder: "It's okay, I'm a free man, it doesn't matter, I guess there will be an announcement in two days."
Lin Mi turned back and said seriously to the camera: "The boat god said that the announcement will be made in two days. Please keep it secret for now and don't tell anyone. Everything should be based on the official announcement. Don't believe in rumors easily."
[666, this is the first time I heard that the news I said was "rumor" hahaha. ]
[Baby is so cute, haha, don’t worry, mommy won’t say anything nonsense. ]
[Ship God: I am not small at all. ]
[In front, you can drive on any road! Hurry up, give me the article link! ]
Having resolved his worries, Lin Mi finally put his mind back on the game. With Rong Zezhou's company and guidance, the power of the horror game plummeted.
When any terrifying scene appears, the worst that can happen is that he closes his eyes. Anyway, the mouse is in Rong Zezhou's hand, and he will always find a way to allow him to proceed smoothly.
When the game entered a cg, Lin Mi quietly turned his head to glance at Rong Zezhou, and suddenly understood why Gu Dao admired him so much——
Rong Zezhou's profile, as he watched the drama on the screen intently, was really good looking.
…
The base of the XY team was not far from Lin Mi's home, but because he had to move some things, Rong Zezhou still drove Lin Mi's car there.
Lin Mi sat in the back seat, hugging Da Tao's dog head. He still couldn't figure out why he had to bring a dog with him to move something.
Could it be that the people from Team XY dared to attack them in broad daylight?
But thinking about the scene when he first picked up Rong Zezhou, Lin Mi felt that nothing was impossible.
"Ship God, I don't think it's safe to take Da Tao with us. How about we call a moving company?"
Lin Mi said very seriously, "Da Tao's legs are not good, so he can't run fast."
Rong Zezhou: ...
What on earth is going on in the little landlord's head?
"Don't worry, Qin Yingzhuo is not a lunatic, and it is safe in the XY team."
Rong Zezhou comforted him with a smile, "Think about it, if he could have done it in the team, he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to trick me out before doing it."
There seems to be some truth in this.
Lin Mi nodded: "Okay. Don't be afraid. Although Da Tao is not very good at fighting, I can fight and I will definitely protect you."
Rong Zezhou: Why do you still want to fight?
The base of the XY team is a single-family villa in a high-end residential area. After registering at the door, Rong Zezhou drove directly to the door of the villa.
Da Tao was the first to jump out of the car. He shook his fur, then whined a few times in dissatisfaction with Lin Mi's car. Rong Zezhou patted his head with some distress and consoled him, "Is the car too small and squeezed you? Be good, Da Tao. I'll stew some bones for you tonight."
Lin Mi who got off from the other side: …
Humph, his car is very environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient, okay?
Why do all of them have such long cars? Zhusha will definitely not complain that his car is small!
"Brother, you're back."
A thin man walked out of the villa. It was Ji Bu who had gone to see Rong Zezhou that day.
Ji Bu was wearing a large short-sleeved T-shirt and slippers. He looked a little listless. It was unclear whether it was because he got up too early or didn't sleep at all, but his eyes were badly swollen.
"I was just about to go upstairs when I saw a car coming and I guessed it was you who came back."
Ji Bu took two steps closer and spoke to Rong Zezhou in a familiar tone.
Lin Mi secretly curled his lips——
If he didn't know what Ji Bu had helped Qin Yingzhuo do to Rong Zezhou, he would have believed that they were still good brothers.
Rong Zezhou ignored Ji Bu. He held Da Tao in one hand and Lin Mi in the other and walked into the villa.
"Fuck, why is there a dog?"
As Rong Zezhou and Lin Mi walked into the gate of the villa, they bumped into a boy who was wiping his hair with a towel. The boy screamed exaggeratedly when he saw Da Tao.
"Didn't we say that we can't have cats or dogs in the team? Who the hell is that? Hey, it's the ship god. Are you here to pack up?"
Rong Zezhou stopped and looked at the person who came: "New mid laner?"
The man sneered and said, "Ship God, you are a very busy person, how could you remember a small character like me?"
"This is Tian Cheng, the new mid laner the team just signed. He was originally going to be your substitute, so they wanted you to lead the team, but you insisted on leaving. The team couldn't find a suitable mid laner for a while, so Boss Qin asked him to give it a try first."
Ji Bu also came in and explained.
Tian Cheng curled his lips in disdain: "How can the Ship God have time to take care of a small character like me? I don't know who are the masters in your new team. Is the world championship this year predetermined?"
"Ah Cheng, you should go to bed!"
Ji Bu stepped forward and pushed Tian Cheng, telling him to hurry up and leave. "There's a training match this afternoon. If you don't go to bed, do you want to sleepwalk through the match?"
Tian Cheng snorted and walked towards the dormitory on the first floor without looking back.
After he closed the door, Ji Bu said to Rong Zezhou, "Brother, don't mind it. Ah Cheng is just under too much pressure. I've locked your room for you. Wait for me and I'll get the key."
After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Rong Zezhou's consent.
Rong Zezhou did not wait for Ji Bu, but pulled Lin Mi and Da Tao up to the second floor and walked to the door of the innermost room. He reached out and pressed the door handle hard, and the door was pushed open directly.
"My door lock has been broken for a long time, and it can't be locked at all."
Rong Zezhou turned on the light and explained to Lin Mi, "Sit in the bathroom for a while while I pack my things."
Lin Mi took the rope from Datao and pulled it into Rong Zezhou's room. The room was not big, and there was nothing else except a bed and a wardrobe.
It was simple and completely different from what he had imagined an e-sports player's room to be.
Lin Mi did not sit down, but walked to the only photo frame in the room. The photo was a large group photo. Rong Zezhou was standing in the middle holding the trophy. He looked younger than he does now, with the same excited smile on his face as everyone in the photo.
"That was a photo of me and my teammates when the XY team won the minor league championship and was promoted to the LPL."
Rong Zezhou pulled out a suitcase from the closet and said as he packed his clothes, "I joined Team XY when I just started playing. They were all older than me, so they always took good care of me. I said I wanted to play in the LPL, and they did their best to get me in. Unfortunately, Team XY's performance wasn't very good that year, so they chose to retire and make room for newcomers. Now, a few years have passed, and even the boss of Team XY has changed."
Lin Mi asked curiously: "So that's why you want to leave here?"
Rong Zezhou smiled softly: "Things have changed and people have changed. It's a pity that we couldn't part ways amicably."
For some reason, even though Rong Zezhou was smiling, Lin Mi felt a little uncomfortable.
In this almost empty room, only this one photo is carefully hung on the wall. Even though the teammates in the photo have retired, Rong Zezhou still hasn't taken it down. This shows how important the old XY team is in Rong Zezhou's heart.
It’s a pity that the career of an e-sports player is doomed to be short-lived. The old ones are replaced by the new ones. The seniors who accompanied Rong Zezhou at the beginning left, and Rong Zezhou himself became a senior and brought out many newcomers for the XY team.
However, not everyone knows how to be grateful. There are also selfish and ungrateful people like Ji Bu.
"Let bygones be bygones,"
Lin Mi comforted him softly, "You will be joining a new team soon. You will have new teammates, and things will definitely be better in the future."
The young man's warm concern made Rong Zezhou smile knowingly. He put down the suitcase in his hand, stood up and walked to Lin Mi, hugged him in his arms, and whispered in his ear:
"Well, it will definitely get better in the future."
…
There was nothing that Rong Zezhou left in the XY team except a few pieces of clothes, two pairs of shoes and the photo that Lin Mi saw.
Dragging an empty suitcase in one hand and holding Da Tao in the other, Rong Zezhou did not wait for Ji Bu. He walked out of the villa with Lin Mi and drove away.
At the window on the second floor, Ji Bu held a bunch of keys in his hand and watched Rong Zezhou leave. Finally, he couldn't help crying.
He had just hurriedly gone to get the keys and when he saw Rong Zezhou and Lin Mi hugging each other at the door, he suddenly felt very ridiculous.
He always thought that in Rong Zezhou's heart, he was different.
Because among so many members of the XY team, Rong Zezhou coached him the most, and it can even be said that he was taught by Rong Zezhou personally.
From laning details to team battle operations, from vision control to rhythm control, Rong Zezhou little by little trained him from a newbie who knew nothing when he just entered the LPL into the LPL's leading support. Even when the team later had the extremely talented Ji Feng, he never received the same attention and teaching from Rong Zezhou.
It was precisely because of this that he had the illusion that he was very important to Rong Zezhou.
But that day when he told Rong Zezhou that he wanted to stay and hoped that Rong Zezhou could stay as well, Rong Zezhou flatly refused without any hesitation.
He agreed to Qin Yingzhuo's plan out of anger, but after Rong Zezhou escaped, he regretted it and tried to persuade Qin Yingzhuo not to act recklessly, but he didn't expect Rong Zezhou to never come back.
The last time he went to find Rong Zezhou, he wanted to explain the matter to Rong Zezhou and persuade him to reconsider the transfer, but his plan was disrupted by Lin Mi's sudden appearance. Then, he finally waited for Rong Zezhou to come back to pack his things, and Lin Mi followed him again.
When the entire internet was spreading rumors about Rong Zezhou and Lin Mi, he didn't believe it at all, because no one knew Rong Zezhou better than him. How could the calm and serious god of the ship be so intimate with a stranger in just a few days?
But today, when he saw Rong Zezhou take the initiative to hug Lin Mi with his own eyes, he finally understood that he was actually the biggest joke.
The coldness of Rong Zezhou that he had seen all along was simply because there was no one in this team who was worthy of Rong Zezhou's attention, and he was no different from other teammates.
Ji Bu hid behind the window, watching Rong Zezhou's car go farther and farther away. Until it disappeared from his sight, he wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and turned back to his room.
…
In the car, Lin Mi was stroking Da Tao's long hair absentmindedly, the blush behind her ears had not yet completely faded.
Seriously, why did this guy suddenly hug him?
Without even a word, he was completely unprepared.
He wasn't blushing because of Rong Zezhou's hug. It was a hot summer day and the air conditioner wasn't on in the room. It would be strange if two grown men weren't blushing from the heat when hugging each other.
Well, that must be the case, otherwise why did Rong Zezhou’s ears turn red just now?
“Woof—”
Da Tao suddenly cried out in dissatisfaction, startling Lin Mi who was daydreaming. Rong Zezhou glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "I just combed Da Tao's hair this morning, just let it go."
Lin Mi glanced sideways at the half-braided dog hair in her hand, and said awkwardly, "You don't understand. Dogs also care about their hairstyles now. I'm styling Da Tao."
Rong Zezhou nodded obediently: "Well, it's a unique shape, but you will be responsible for smoothing its fur back when we get home."
Lin Mi: ...
Forget it, he is not good at combing dog hair at all.
Lin Mi carefully wanted to help Da Tao restore her hair to its original shape, but he was absent-minded when he was braiding it and actually tied a few knots. The car was shaking at this time, so Lin Mi couldn't see clearly. After a while, he became dizzy and completely collapsed. He pushed Da Tao's head away and collapsed on the back seat.
"Are there any scissors in the new team?"
Lin Mi blinked hard, trying to make the stars in front of her eyes disappear. "Da Tao's hair is too long. Just cut it short."
Rong Zezhou: ...
Da Tao:? ?
"We're almost there. Do you think the environment here is pretty good?" Rong Zezhou quickly changed the subject, trying to drive this terrible thought out of Lin Mi's head.
He loved Da Tao's smooth long fur the most and couldn't let it fall into Lin Mi's clutches.
Lin Mi sat up straight, leaned on the car window and looked out. He was indeed a little shocked by the scene in front of him.
He never knew that there was such a paradise in this city.
There is a vast sea of flowers beside the wide tree-lined avenue. On the other side of the sea of flowers, various fences can be vaguely seen. Behind the fences should be the gardens of each family. The main buildings of either Chinese or Western style can be vaguely seen, like small manors.
In a city filled with steel, concrete and colorful glass walls, such a lush and colorful manor is truly eye-catching and surprising.
“The new team’s base wouldn’t be here, right?” Lin Mi felt it was a bit mysterious.
He remembered that the last time Ji Bu came to see Rong Zezhou, Rong Zezhou once said that the new team could not afford high salaries. In addition, they were recruiting players from youth training instead of buying active players, which made Lin Mi feel that Rong Zezhou's new team might not have sufficient funds.
He thought that the new team's base might be in an office building, or at most rent an ordinary villa like the XY team, but he never expected that Rong Zezhou would bring him here.
"Yes, right in front."
Rong Zezhou turned a corner and drove into a fork in the road. At the end of the fork was a wall covered with roses and a medieval gate. When the car arrived in front of the gate, the gate opened automatically, and a wide square came into view. In the center of the square, a fountain was dancing in the sun.
The car stopped at the entrance of the main building. Rong Zezhou opened the door and got out to take Da Tao, but saw his landlord standing in a daze with a confused look on his face.
"Millet?"
Rong Zezhou led Da Tao to the other side, opened the door next to Lin Mi, and patted Lin Mi on the head like he was patting Da Tao, "Get out of the car quickly, why are you so stupid."
Lin Mi finally came to his senses and quickly got out of the car.
"Don't tell me this castle is the base of your new team,"
Lin Mi looked at the building in front of him, which seemed to be full of traces of time, with eyes full of shock. "This is too much!"
Rong Zezhou smiled and put his arm around Lin Mi's shoulders as they walked in, explaining, "This is not an ancient castle. It's just my family's bad taste. They made it look old on purpose. This is indeed the base of the new team, but we don't need it to be so big. We'll only use half of the left side, and the other half is temporarily empty."
After entering the gate of the castle, there were many people cleaning inside. When they came in, a middle-aged man in a shirt came over and said:
"A Zhou, the rooms upstairs have been cleaned. I asked someone to prepare a separate room for you on the right. It's quieter over there."
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Han,"
Rong Zezhou stopped and said, "But I'd better live on the left side with everyone else. It will also be convenient for daily management. The right side can be left empty."
Uncle Han smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll take you upstairs to see the room first?"
Rong Zezhou said, "No need, Uncle Han, you go ahead and do your work. We can go up by ourselves."
Uncle Han didn't force it. He said hello to Lin Mi and left. Lin Mi asked cautiously in a low voice: "Who are these people?"
Rong Zezhou pulled Lin Mi and Da Tao upstairs and said, "Uncle Han is here to help take care of the house. The rest are from the cleaning company. They will also send people to clean regularly in the future."
The two went up to the second floor and walked to the left. On the left side of the corridor was a row of bright windows that overlooked the garden outside, and on the right was a row of rooms.
"The teams all have double rooms, and each room has a different decoration style. Which one do you like?"
Rong Zezhou opened the doors one by one and let Lin Mi visit.
Lin Mi didn't notice anything wrong in Rong Zezhou's words. He happily looked at each room one by one, as if he was the one who was about to move in.
Although Japanese tatami is spacious, it is too hard and I don’t like it.
The European-style wrought iron bed looks gorgeous, but it’s cold and I don’t like it.
The simple modern style is neat, but not warm enough, so I still don’t like it.
When Rong Zezhou pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, Lin Mi's eyes lit up instantly.
The spacious room is decorated in antique style, and the exquisite walnut furniture is grand yet graceful.
A tea couch was made on the bay window, which looks comfortable and cozy.
"This one is good," Lin Mi sniffed hard. There was no strange smell in the air, only the smell of agarwood. "How about this one?"
Rong Zezhou curled the corners of his mouth. He knew that Lin Mi would definitely like this one.
"So where do you want to sleep?"
Rong Zezhou asked as he stuffed his suitcase into the closet.
Lin Mi then realized something was wrong and looked over in confusion: "What do you mean where do I want to sleep?"
Along the way, why does it seem like he is going to join Rong Zezhou's new team?
Although he was indeed interested in League of Legends after returning from the youth training camp, he also knew that at his current level, he was far from being able to become a professional player.
Even if Rong Zezhou was extremely hungry, he wouldn't attack a rookie like him, right?
Rong Zezhou had long wanted to have a good talk with Lin Mi. He pulled Lin Mi to sit by the window, from which they could see the artificial lake in the distance.
"Xiaomi, do you have any other plans besides live streaming?" Rong Zezhou asked.
Lin Mi thought for a moment and answered seriously, "I kind of want to apply for a master's degree in e-sports, but Brother Yan told me that practice in this industry is more important than a diploma. He suggested that I first learn more about the game League of Legends, then watch more games and try to analyze it. I can decide whether to apply after I am fully familiar with it."
Rong Zezhou nodded in agreement: "Indeed. I have learned some relevant information before. Most of the graduates of e-sports majors are now engaged in careers related to e-sports event organization. Very few can actually join the coaching staff of major teams."
Seeing the young man in front of him become a little depressed, Rong Zezhou tempted him like he was pulling out a cat toy: "However, if your goal is not to become a commentator or referee, but to join an e-sports team, there is an opportunity right now."
"Stop it."
Rong Zezhou's purpose was too obvious. Lin Mi understood it immediately and glared at him in reproach. "I know you have a lot of say in the new team, but you can't do whatever you want. I'm just an e-sports rookie. Can you ask me to join the team as a coach?"
Rong Zezhou continued to tease Lin Mi: "Why not? Don't worry, I'm very familiar with the team's boss, and I've donated my house as the team's base. Adding another coach is a piece of cake, no problem."
Lin Mi rolled his eyes and said, "That's enough. It can't be any more fake, okay? If you were really capable of doing something like this, you wouldn't be so angry about the little things in the team that you want to duel with me all day long."
During this period, Roll often called Rong Zezhou to discuss the new team, and Rong Zezhou never avoided Lin Mi and would even speak openly when he was impatient.
Even though Rong Zezhou seemed to have no temper in his daily life, when it came to team matters, Lin Mi couldn't remember how many times he had heard Rong Zezhou get so angry that he jumped up and down because he refused to give in.
Only at this time, Rong Zezhou is more like the serious e-sports god in the legend, which makes people admire him.
So Lin Mi absolutely didn't believe that Rong Zezhou would use the team coach's matter as a favor.
Rong Zezhou laughed softly a few times: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Actually, I want to ask you, are you interested in being the team leader?"
"Team leader?" Lin Mi was not familiar with this position, so he asked, "What does a team leader do? Can I do it even if I don't know much about e-sports?"
Rong Zezhou cleared his throat and answered seriously, "Generally speaking, the team leader is mainly responsible for the daily affairs of the team, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, communication with the live broadcast platform, event organizers, and event teams, etc. He is like a team butler."
Lin Mi listened to Rong Zezhou's words carefully, but his brows slowly frowned.
It's not that he thinks there's anything wrong with the team leader's job, but he feels that he may not be able to handle these things well.
Because communicating with all parties has never been his forte since he was a child.
Understanding Lin Mi's hesitation, Rong Zezhou said, "However, the work content of our team leader may be different. Uncle Han will take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, so the team leader doesn't need to worry about it. The team has a professional team in charge of business operations, so the team leader doesn't need to worry about it either. Roll used to be in charge of communicating with the league's event group in the XY team, so no one is more familiar with it than him, so the team leader doesn't need to worry about this aspect."
Lin Miqi said, "The team leader doesn't need to worry about anything, so why did you ask me to be the team leader? Are you asking me to be the team's mascot for free?"
Unexpectedly, Rong Zezhou actually nodded: "We really need a mascot like you. Although it sounds like our team doesn't really need a leader, in fact, during the game, Roll and Brother Yan can't be distracted. We still need someone to help handle some matters, such as communicating with the host about the interview content, submitting team selection information, etc. It's not difficult, but it's very important."
Lin Mi was still a little hesitant.
In fact, what Rong Zezhou said was really excited him, because he had always wanted to learn more about the e-sports industry. If he could become the leader of Rong Zezhou's new team, not only would he be able to get close to the team operations and training, but he would also have two teachers, Roll and Yanjin, whom he could consult at any time, without having to worry too much. It would be perfect.
But precisely because this job was simple and easy and he could learn a lot, he felt that Rong Zezhou was deliberately taking care of him.
He didn't mind owing Rong Zezhou a favor, as he had already owed him a lot over this period of time anyway. He was just a little worried that Rong Zezhou would get into trouble because of his affairs.
Seeing that Lin Mi was reluctant to nod, Rong Zezhou put on a pitiful expression, sighed and said:
"Hey, I knew it would be hard to find a suitable candidate for this kind of job that doesn't pay much but requires a lot of effort. I only dared to ask you this because you wanted to know more about the e-sports team. If it embarrasses you, just pretend I never said it."
"That's not what I meant," Lin Mi quickly explained, "I'm not embarrassed. I'm just afraid that I might not do well and cause you trouble."
"Not making it difficult means you agree?"
Rong Zezhou immediately put on a smile, "Then there is only one question now, which side do you like to sleep on?"
Lin Mi: ...
Why does this change of topic make people feel like they have been cheated?
"If you really think I can do it, I'm willing to give it a try,"
Lin Mi finally nodded, "But if I don't do well, you can tell me. You're welcome. If you find a better candidate, I can leave at any time."
The young man's serious look made Rong Zezhou laugh out loud, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with his deliberate routine.
He will naturally work hard to get what he wants. Since the result is a win-win situation, there is nothing wrong with him using a few tricks, right?
Rong Zezhou stood up and pulled Lin Mi to the other side of the room, saying as they walked: "Where can we find a better candidate? The team leader must be someone who is very trustworthy, otherwise if someone with ulterior motives is recruited to do something bad in secret, the consequences will be disastrous. You are the most suitable person to be by my side."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed open a cabinet door close to the wall, then stepped aside and guided with a smile: "Go and see the gift I prepared for you."
