Pretend to hate you [eSports]

In the training room of the Yuhuo Team, Lao Chu and Li Hong are fighting, Shen Zheng is the captain and in command, all five of them are ready, and the game begins.

The game is 5V5, and the map is divided into three lanes: top, middle, and bottom. There is one person in the top lane and the middle lane respectively, and two people in the bottom lane, who are the ADC and the support. There is also a jungler who is responsible for the wild monsters in the map.

Old Chu couldn't help but sneer when he saw that Cheng Yu fell behind in farming minions from the very beginning.

In the youth training match, Cheng Yu had always been ahead in terms of last hits, but now that he had met a real strong opponent, his true colors were revealed.
Less than five minutes later, Cheng Yu caught up with the enemy by replenishing the troops.

Old Chu frowned and looked at Cheng Yu. He turned the mouse pad over.

QF aixiaoM: "Brother Chu, you are a bit radical today, are you angry?"
In the chat interface, Jungler Qingfeng sent a question.

Cheng Yu is using Lao Chu’s account. He is not yet an official LPL player, so this matter needs to be kept secret for now.
Qingfeng thought it was Lao Chu who was fighting.

QF aixiaoM: "Brother Chu, if you are so aggressive, be careful or I will catch you~"
YH PRO: “Not brother, but father.”
After replying, he dived into the opposite jungle area.

Yan Shu, the jungler in Yuhuo, thought he was going to steal the opponent's resources, but he didn't attack the monsters at all and his movement route was confusing.
"What kind of fighting style is this?" Yan Shu couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Yu: "Let me try a new tactic."
Shen Zheng saw Cheng Yu's movements and said nothing.

When Lao Chu saw Cheng Yu going to the opposite jungle area before reaching level 6, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The mistakes were horribly low-level. With his level of awareness, it would be fine for him to play against those rookies in the youth training, but playing against a team? It would be better not to embarrass himself.

Cheng Yu searched for Qingfeng jungler in the wild area like an eagle, and started beating him without saying a word.
You don't have to catch me, I'm coming to find you.

Old Chu kept shaking his head. He even rehearsed Cheng Yu's death trajectory in his mind.
YH PRO killed QF aixiaoM.

When the other team members saw the information that Cheng Yu killed Qingfeng jungler, they were stunned for a moment. So reckless?
QF aixiaoM: "Hmm? Brother Chu, are you on drugs? So strong?"
YH PRO: “I already told you it’s dad, don’t call me by the wrong name next time.”

Shen Zheng glanced at Cheng Yu's words and smiled faintly. He stopped rushing to support Cheng Yu and said softly, "Not bad."
Cheng Yu raised his hand to adjust the headphones, rubbing his ears nonchalantly: "Basic operation."

Lao Chu was watching the fight. He saw it clearly from a God's perspective. Cheng Yu was able to kill his opponent entirely because of his extreme personal skills. If it was an opponent of the same level, he would have no chance of winning at all.
If it were someone else, this would be a low-level mistake, but for Cheng Yu, it became an unreasonable crushing.

The first game was won quickly, with Lu Yu in the mid lane and Shen Zheng in the bottom lane crushing the opponents with absolute advantage and winning the game easily.
Normally it was normal for Shen Zheng to crush the opponent in the bottom lane, it was commonplace, but today 'Lao Chu' suddenly stood up, Qingfeng couldn't adapt, very much.

As soon as the first game ended, Lao Chu’s WeChat rang.
Qingfeng Jungler: "Brother Chu, you performed exceptionally well today! Did you have emergency training?"
Qingfeng Jungler: "Great, Brother Chu, you beat me so hard that I'm not going to let you win next time!"

Lao Chu stared at his phone, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip.
He looked up at Cheng Yu, who was holding the mouse pad with disgust and asking Li Hong to exchange it for another one.
He took a deep breath, checked WeChat again, and replied to Qingfeng Jungler: "Come and catch us, if you don't come, you are a grandson."

At the beginning of the second game, just after two minutes, Qingfeng jungler came to catch Cheng Yu, and after another two minutes, he did it again.
In the first seven minutes, Qingfeng's jungler seemed to live in the middle lane and killed Cheng Yu once.
Looking at the gray and white interface, Cheng Yu smiled.
He is being targeted.

Yan Shu: "Cheng Yu, wait for me to finish clearing this wave of wild monsters, and then I will help you counter-camp."
"No need. If they catch me again, I lose." Cheng Yu returned to the middle lane.

This time, Cheng Yu lost the advantage he had in the previous game, and after being targeted, he was even at a disadvantage.
Old Chu brought over a glass of water and drank it, and his frown finally relaxed.
That's right. Newcomers need to experience the harsh beatings of society.

Both the top lane and the jungle were suppressed, and the team was at an overall disadvantage.
Shen Zheng pushed down the bottom lane tower early and commanded: "Let's fight in the middle lane."
"It's a bit early, isn't it?" Assistant Ling Le asked, "Cheng Yu's equipment isn't very good."
"It doesn't matter." It was Cheng Yu who replied, "Kill them and you'll have money to buy equipment."
Ling Le: “…”
Is this how you get equipment in a professional team?

"Ling Le, find an opportunity to start a team fight." Shen Zheng gave the command and the team members began to prepare.
Ling Le hesitated and kept retreating: "Boss, I feel that if we take the initiative to attack, we won't win. We are lagging behind as a whole manager."

The game is against the clock and opportunities are fleeting.

Cheng Yu: "I'll open it."
Ling Le: "No, still...Fuck! Cheng Yu, why did you get on?"

Cheng Yu started a team fight, and the other team members had no time to care about anything else and followed him immediately.
Ling Le was somewhat dissatisfied: "How could Cheng Yu...fuck me?!"

"It's fucking outrageous that you can find such a small opportunity. The control connection between you and Captain Shen is too perfect!" After winning the team battle, Ling Le excitedly tapped the mouse, "I told you, you two are a perfect match!"

Cheng Yu instantly killed the opponent's ADC who made a positioning mistake. At the same time, Shen Zheng covered Cheng Yu and pointed at the opponent's mid laner. With two C positions gone, Qingfeng lost the team battle ugly.

Lu Ming, the top laner in the fire: "Awesome, awesome! Qingfeng's mentality is definitely broken this time!"
Yan Shu: "It lives up to its reputation."

The loud cheers in the room and the team's voices in the headphones formed a natural echo, making it extremely noisy.
Cheng Yu pried open the earphones with his fingers, rubbed his ears and said, "Keep the volume down."

"Prepare for the next team battle." Shen Zheng interrupted the topic, "You can start when you find an opportunity."
Ling Le: "Cheng Yu, if you find a chance, just go ahead, don't worry about me."
Cheng Yu: "Okay."

Shen Zheng: "Cheng Yu, come over and give you a blue buff."
Cheng Yu approached him and said, "You take it. My output is not as high as yours." Shen Zheng: "Be obedient, I'll give it to you. You have room to operate."
Cheng Yu's ears felt numb, and before his brain could react, his hands had already controlled the character to come to Shen Zheng's side.

Yan Shu: "Captain Shen is biased. He is so gentle to the new members."
Shen Zheng: "Isn't he special?"

Lu Ming: "Cheng Yu, don't be fooled, eh? Why did you hand over your life-saving skills?"
In the game, after Cheng Yu got the blue buff, his life-saving skills were wasted.

Cheng Yu rubbed his face with his shoulder, then moved his wrist and replied: "I accidentally pressed the wrong button. I'm not used to the mouse pad."
Yan Shu: "Isn't it newly replaced?"

You just have a good eyesight, right?
Cheng Yu: “…It’s still not going smoothly.”

Li Hong, who was watching the game, scratched his head and said, "It's a new mouse pad. I'll find a new one for you."
Cheng Yu didn't say anything, but heard Shen Zheng's chuckle coming from the headphones.

"What are you laughing at?" he asked.
"Nothing." Shen Zheng said calmly, "Pay attention to the game."
Qingfeng reorganized the team and attacked together to recover the losses.

Just as Cheng Yu was about to fight, he heard Shen Zheng say, "Cheng Yu, come back."
Cheng Yu stopped fighting and turned back to the team: "You can fight, I will lure them and you kill them."
Ling Le: "Yes, Cheng Yu can do it."
Shen Zheng: "No need to lure, just fight, Ling Le, you go and open it."

The two sides soon got into a scuffle.

Shen Zheng put a protective shield on Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu: "Don't give me your shield, keep it for yourself."
Cheng Yu helped Shen Zheng resist the damage: "Be careful!"
Cheng Yu controlled the enemy: "Shen Zheng, you get the kills and you get the economy."

Ling Le, who had already died, smiled and said, "Okay, there's one more brainless person in the team who protects the boss. This is the charm of the boss!"

Cheng Yu: "Who will protect him? If it's not for winning the game, why would I care about him?"
Ling Le: "Yes, we are here for the competition, what else?"
Cheng Yu: "...Don't gossip and affect my performance."
Ling Le: "Can I say one last thing?"
Cheng Yu: “No.”
Ling Le: "You two are a perfect match!"
Cheng Yu didn't want to talk.
If anyone wants to be a perfect match for him, it would be better to kick him off the altar.

Although Yuhuo was at a disadvantage in the early stages, they still won the game in the later stages because of the good cooperation between Shen Zheng and Cheng Yu.
Best of three games, victory in battle.

After exiting the game, Ling Le took off his headphones and leaned back in his chair, saying calmly, "I think the cooperation between Cheng Yu and the boss is a bit interesting."
Yan Shu beside him said, "What's that smell?"
"Of course..." Ling Le raised his finger and said with a raised eyebrow, "Double C is perfect~"

Almost at the same moment as Ling Le finished speaking, Cheng Yu suddenly stood up. He first looked at Shen Zheng.
Shen Zheng was packing up his peripherals. He looked quite calm, with his expression no different from usual.

Unexplainably unhappy, Cheng Yu looked at Ling Le again: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will switch to the auxiliary position."
Ling Le covered his chest: "You are so fierce."
Finally, Cheng Yu set his sights on Lao Chu, tapped the table with his fingers and asked, "Are you convinced?"

Lao Chu lowered his head and fiddled with his phone. His WeChat was about to explode. It was all Qingfeng asking him if he had dug up some great mid laner from Yuhuo, and wanted Lao Chu to give him some information.
He even used the word "great god". Lao Chu has been a professional player for so long, but no one has ever called him a god, not even once.

With Cheng Yu's words, the originally happy atmosphere dropped to freezing point again.
They almost forgot that there was a bet between Cheng Yu and Lao Chu.

If he exceeds expectations, Lao Chu will be Cheng Yu's substitute.
They are all professional players, and everyone knows that Cheng Yu is better than Lao Chu.
But letting the veteran serve as a substitute for a young newcomer, a newcomer from the youth training competition. If this gets out, Old Chu will lose face.

"I accept the defeat." Lao Chu stood up slowly. He glanced at Cheng Yu quickly and lowered his head again. "From today on..."
He tightened his hands under the table, frowned and unclenched his brows over and over again, and tried to speak several times, but failed.
Cheng Yu was not in a hurry. He just looked at him and waited for him to finish the second half of his sentence.

Li Hong and others looked at Lao Chu who was struggling and wanted to persuade him, but they didn't know how to say it.
It was Old Chu who started the trouble. If we try to persuade him now, that would be bullying Cheng Yu.

"I'll be your substitute." The last three words of Lao Chu were almost whispered. After he finished speaking, his shoulders slumped and all his spirit was gone.
"That's enough." Cheng Yu smiled casually, his arm casually resting on the display, "I don't need a substitute."

"Oh, you guys are just joking around, why do you take it so seriously?" Li Hong quickly came out to smooth things over. He put his arm around Lao Chu's shoulders and said, "Lao Chu, you have to take good care of Cheng Yu. He's waiting for you to teach him more about competition experience, right, Cheng Yu?"
Ling Le, Yan Shu and others also came out to help smooth things over, and as everyone changed the topic, the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.

As they were chatting and laughing, Li Hong's cell phone rang and he went out to answer it.

Ling Le pulled Cheng Yu to talk: "Cheng Yu, how did you dye your hair? Was it very difficult?"
Shen Zheng suddenly interrupted: "Ling Le, don't ask nonsense questions."

Cheng Yu fiddled with his bangs nonchalantly and replied, "It's natural."
"Stop it!" Ling Le elbowed Cheng Yu, "Are you a second-dimensional person?"

Seeing Cheng Yu was serious, Ling Le slowly stopped laughing.
Ling Le: "Cheng Yu, are you sick?"

Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "You also know this?"
Ling Le: "I know. Severe Chuunibyou. Other people develop the disease in middle school, but you develop it later."
After saying that, Ling Le slammed the table and laughed.

"It's broken, it's broken!" Li Hong came back in a hurry. He was still in shock and his voice was even trembling. "Qingfeng's live broadcast was not turned off. The whole game just now was broadcast live."
Li Hong took a deep breath and continued, "I think he will be banned."
