Pretend to hate you [eSports]

Cheng Yu leaned on the bed, looking at Shen Zheng with a cigarette in his mouth.

He made the bed, sat at the foot of it, and folded the A4 sheet in his hand.

It’s actually not that disgusting.

Cheng Yu opened the window and blew smoke outside.

The room has good lighting. Shen Zheng sits in the sun, with furry dust floating in the air. His bangs hang down, his expression is serious, and his fingertips press the snow-white paper on his black pants, which is indescribably fascinating.

It would be better if he didn't fold a split-legged paper crane for himself.

"What the hell is this?" Cheng Yu took the split paper crane from his hand. The more he looked at it, the more he found it strange. This thing was so ugly and cute that it made him want to laugh after looking at it for a long time. It was outrageous.

"Can you fold something from the mortal world? If you use this to chase someone, aren't you afraid that they will chop you with a knife?" Cheng Yu flicked off the ash, threw the paper crane on the bedside table, and sat down at the bedside. "Don't let me take you out for a blind date in a few years, and then the other person won't look down on you. It's embarrassing."

"Take me on a blind date?" Shen Zheng moved closer, sitting casually, his knees rubbing against Cheng Yu's thighs.

Cheng Yu tensed his thighs and tried to create some distance, but found that there was no room. He put out his cigarette, supported his hands behind his back, and sneered: "Yeah, you don't know how to chase girls. You are so stupid that you can't even catch up with the best blind dates."

"Then you have to take good care of me." Shen Zheng leaned forward and pressed towards Cheng Yu.

What is the structure of the human body?

Cheng Yu's mind was full of this question. He really wanted to know if Shen Zheng could hear his heartbeat which was so loud.

"You..." His voice was hoarse and even a little trembling. The sunlight outside fell on Shen Zheng's back. He could see the skin on the back of Shen Zheng's neck. The unique aura of Shen Zheng pressed over him and occupied all the air around him.

A light, refreshing smell, like the smell of residual laundry detergent.

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence. He raised his chin, afraid that Shen Zheng would notice his irregular breathing.

"What am I?"

The faint and clear fragrance faded away, Cheng Yu's eyes turned slightly, and he saw Shen Zheng smiling, as if he could see through his thoughts.

"Are you polite for coming over here all of a sudden?" Cheng Yu stood up and pulled down the hem of his shirt. "Have you packed up yet? We need to train. The spring break games are only a few days away. Hurry up."

"What's there for a grown man to be afraid of?" Shen Zheng didn't stand up. He just raised his head slightly to look at him, his Adam's apple rolling up and down as he spoke. "Your ears."

He tapped his ears.

"I've already told you I'm Bai." Cheng Yu walked quickly to the door, opened it and said fiercely, "As the captain, you should have some sense of responsibility. Hurry up."

Outside the door, Ling Le had just gotten up to have breakfast, and was startled when he heard the door slam: "Cheng Yu?"

"Training." Cheng Yu's face was gloomy and he went straight to the training room.

Everyone gathered in the training room. Lao Chu had severe bruises on his eyes. He trained by himself and had already started playing rank.

Coach Fan held the document in his hand and tapped the table, saying, "The suspension notice has been issued. It's set in stone. Time is running out for everyone."

He turned around and wrote the number '13' on the whiteboard behind him.

Coach Fan slammed the blackboard: "The countdown to the spring season begins."

The training lasted a whole day, and Li Hong had arranged for Cheng Yu to join the club.

Time was running out, and Cheng Yu was on edge. No matter who invited him to a training match, he would accept it. Others complained, but Shen Zheng said nothing. He said, "Okay, then accept it."

They played five training matches in a row in the evening, and reviewed them until 5:30 in the morning.

Lao Chu did not participate in the training match and went to bed at 12 o'clock.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Lao Chu came back from having breakfast and prepared to do a live broadcast.

He pushed open the door of the training room and found that someone had gotten up earlier than him.

The room was dimly lit, with no lights on and the curtains drawn tightly. Only the man's computer screen was on, casting a long shadow on the ground that almost spanned the training room.

Old Chu was stunned for two seconds, and only realized it was Cheng Yu when he saw the white hair.

"Are you still awake or did you just wake up?" Lao Chu turned on the light, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger behind the door.

The sudden brightness made Cheng Yu squint uncomfortably. He turned around to take off one of his headphones, looked at Lao Chu and asked, "What did you just say?"

Lao Chu pulled out a chair and sat down, bending over to open the computer: "I say, did you not sleep or did you just get up? It's only eight o'clock."

"Just woke up." Cheng Yu slumped back into his chair and rubbed his eyes. "I woke up."

Lao Chu: "You really worked hard to stay in the first team."

"It's okay, not too hard." Cheng Yu took the cup and drank some water. He remembered that when Shen Zheng first started playing professionally, he only slept three hours a day, and he was forced to do so by his coach.

Old Chu half-twisted his body and squinted at Cheng Yu. He put one hand on the back of the chair and asked, "Let me call someone to play a custom game together. You can't find anyone in the rank in the morning."

There really isn't a lot of people lining up during this period, as e-sports is full of night owls.

"I have exactly nine people here, and you are missing. Do you want to come?" Lao Chu took out his mobile phone and started calling people on WeChat.

"Okay." Cheng Yu put down the water cup. He was just about to test his new idea.

Last night before going to bed, Cheng Yu thought of a new way to pass the time. Even his dreams were filled with simulations of the test routine. As soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, he couldn't wait to do it.

Unfortunately, after waiting in line for more than twenty minutes, no one got a seat.

Ten minutes later, Cheng Yu accepted Lao Chu's invitation and joined the custom room.

Including him, there are ten people in total. He is opposite Lao Chu. Judging from their IDs, they are all well-known anchors who play well.

While waiting to enter the game, Cheng Yu heard Lao Chu talking.

"Who is the opposing mid laner? I can't tell you, he's very good."

"I saw that one person guessed correctly. Forget it, you should stop guessing."

"He's a new member of the team. Oh, don't ask me. I can't tell you."

Cheng Yu turned around and asked Lao Chu: "Are you live streaming?"

"Ah, yes." Lao Chu turned around, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Yu’s joining the Yuhuo War Team has not been officially announced yet, and no news has been leaked to the outside world so far.

Moreover, Cheng Yu used his own main account, and he used this ID: unique in the youth training competition.

As expected, the audience in Lao Chu’s live broadcast room now knows that Cheng Yu is the new mid laner of the Yuhuo Team.

It was too late for Cheng Yu to quit now, so he might as well continue fighting.

The game started, Cheng Yu didn't reply, he put on his headphones and played the game.

Cheng Yu was facing off against Lao Chu, and he could feel that Lao Chu was very serious.

The opposing jungler also often took care of Cheng Yu, as if he was deliberately targeting him.

Cheng Yu didn't care. He looked for opportunities to roam around, trying to help other teammates gain an advantage.

But Cheng Yu would be caught wherever he went, as if he was carrying a flare, exposing his location all the time.

He had clearly made sure that the opponent had no vision of the bush, but he was still caught off guard, while his teammates were caught one by one by Lao Chu.

15 minutes into the game, Lao Chu has the advantage in equipment and can kill anyone he wants.

Cheng Yu's teammates initiated surrender.

Cheng Yu clicked no, and he typed in the game: "Hold on, you can win."

Our jungler: "How can we win? Look at Lao Chu, then look at you. The gap is too big."

Cheng Yu patiently said, "Don't give up. Trust me."

Our jungler: "Forget about trusting you. I think the Spring Season is over."

Our jungler: "You came from the youth training camp. How interesting is it to use tricks to squeeze into the first team?"

Our jungler: "You can't even beat a game of this level, what else can you say?"

On the surface, this game is 5V5, but in reality it is 1V9, and there are also personal attacks and mental harassment.

Cheng Yu directly blocked the conversation. He tried his best to develop and grab resources. He would not give up until the last moment.

20 minutes, Highland Group.

Cheng Yu used his full skills to take down two opponents. He watched the base explode and quit the game.

The phone on the table lit up, Cheng Yu picked it up to check, it was a WeChat message from He Si.

He Si: "Fuck, this is bullying! It's obvious that someone on your side deliberately reported the point and is playing a trick on you. [Picture]"

The picture is a screenshot of Tieba, and someone asked: What do you think of the new mid laner who has risen from the ashes?

The replies below all belittled Cheng Yu as being inferior to Lao Chu, and some said the e-sports circle was in chaos and that Cheng Yu deliberately got Lao Chu banned to get promoted.

Cheng Yu replied to He Si: "Why bother with him, it's boring."

He Si: "Fuck, when did you become so good-tempered that you can tolerate this?" Cheng Yu: "What can I do? The fight is over. I'll beat him up and get fined by the team. It'll be a loss for both of us."

He Si: "Fuck! This is so aggrieved. When have I ever been treated so unfairly?"

Cheng Yu didn't reply, put down his phone, and queued up again to play rank.

"Thanks for the depth bomb asking for a rematch from Lao Chu. Thank you, boss. I'm sorry for the expense."

"Does my suspension have anything to do with the newcomers? Hey, why are you talking about this?"

"Want to watch another game? Okay, I'll ask."

Lao Chu was so happy that his mouth was almost crooked when he saw everyone posting "Lao Chu is awesome" in the barrage.

"Hey, are you coming again?" Lao Chu took off his headphones, turned around and asked Cheng Yu loudly.

"Come." It was not Cheng Yu who responded.

Cheng Yu turned his head and found Shen Zheng standing behind him.

Shen Zheng was wearing grey pajamas and a team uniform. His hair was disheveled with a strand sticking out on the side. His eyes were cold and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, as if he had not yet woken up.

"You're a ghost. You made no noise when you walked." Cheng Yu took off his headphones and asked, "When did you come?"

"Ten minutes ago." Shen Zheng pulled out a chair and sat down, then turned to Lao Chu and said, "Take me with you. I'm on the same team with Cheng Yu."

"Why are you joining in the fun?" Cheng Yu knew what Old Chu was thinking, and he didn't want to waste time on this. "I don't want to fight anymore."

"Play with me." Shen Zheng logged into the game, fiddled with his phone for a few seconds, and then put it down. "Play first, and have breakfast later."

"Okay." Cheng Yu replied, "I'll give you some face."

Shen Zheng rubbed his eyes and started a live broadcast to kill time.

As soon as his room was opened, his popularity instantly reached one million. The popularity of Lao Chu, which had just exceeded one million, suddenly dropped to less than half a million.

Shen Zheng: "Newcomer? Wait for the official announcement."

Shen Zheng: "He's a rookie? The threshold for being a rookie is so high now? Then I guess I have to be a rookie too."

Shen Zheng: "Where do all these conspiracy theories come from? Why don't you write a novel?"

Shen Zheng casually replied to a few comments and accepted Lao Chu's invitation to enter the room. He did not play ADC, but chose the jungler position.

"Are you a jungler?" Cheng Yu asked.

"Well, let's see if my hands are unfamiliar." Shen Zheng clasped his hands together and stretched them forward. "Do you still remember that I am a jungler?"

Cheng Yu remembered that when they first started playing in the League of Legends, Shen Zheng played jungle and Cheng Yu played mid, and the two of them worked together perfectly. He and Shen Zheng played mid and jungle together and had a 100% win rate.

Later, there was a period of time when the jungler was at a disadvantage. Cheng Yu said that he was too tired to play C, so Shen Zheng went to play ADC.

"I don't remember." Cheng Yu licked his lips and looked away, "Who remembers you?"

Shen Zheng didn't say anything. He entered the second level of the game and went directly to the middle lane.

Cheng Yu was very familiar with this scene.

"Don't come." Cheng Yu reminded him, "You will be reported."

"Are you afraid?" Shen Zheng didn't leave.

Cheng Yu: "Who's afraid? The other side will come to catch me later, don't give me a head."

As soon as he finished speaking, the enemy jungler brought his support to catch Shen Zheng and Cheng Yu. The two had been prepared, and they fought two against three in the middle lane and won.

Shen Zheng gave all three kills to Cheng Yu, who gained a lot of kills.

It was like the reversal of two poles. Just as Lao Chu slaughtered Cheng Yu in the last round, Cheng Yu returned the favor twice as much in this round.

In the last round, Cheng Yu was being hunted and no one ever helped him. This round was different. Shen Zheng and Cheng Yu were like conjoined twins. Shen Zheng followed Cheng Yu wherever he went.

The game, which was originally evenly matched, was played by Shen Zheng and Cheng Yu like a bombing of a fish pond. Later, the audience thought that Shen Zheng was playing a low-end game.

This round was faster, and the fight was over in 15 minutes.

2V8, 8 people collectively shut themselves off.

Shen Zheng asked Cheng Yu: "Do you still want to fight?"

Cheng Yu touched the cigarette box and cell phone, stood up and said, "No more fighting, it's boring."

He leaned casually against the corridor window, holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking down and fiddling with his cell phone, but didn't light it.

He Si: "It's so exciting. As expected of Shen Zheng. I'll help you get back on track. [Picture]"

The picture content is still a screenshot of the previous post, and the replies below have become netizens criticizing Lao Chu for deliberately bullying the newcomer, and praising Cheng Yu for his first-class operation and perfect cooperation with Shen Zheng.

Cheng Yu: "How boring, it's like playing against a robot, it's better to play a rank game.

He Si: "Keep pretending, do you dare to say that the killing just now was not satisfying?"

Cheng Yu's lips curled up, he flicked the ash off his cigarette and replied to He Si: "It's not fun at all."

He Si: “Contempt.jpg”

Shen Zheng came out of the training room and stood in front of Cheng Yu: "You know you're being bullied, but you still don't back off?"

Cheng Yu didn't take the coat, but blew a smoke ring and replied: "If he wasn't the title of the hot mid laner, I would have beaten him up long ago."

Shen Zheng's phone rang, and he answered it while saying, "I will let Lao Chu go home during the suspension period so that he won't bother you."

"Mind your own business." Cheng Yu said indifferently, "If you have time, you should clean yourself up. You look so sloppy and ugly."

Shen Zheng nodded, answered the phone and went out.

Judging from his anxious steps, it was most likely a little girl calling him.

Cheng Yu took a deep breath of the cigarette, then exhaled. The cigarette no longer tasted good because of his annoyance.

After putting out the cigarette, he looked out the window and saw the delivery rider turn in with a subwoofer, take out the takeaway, and hand it to Shen Zheng, who had a messy hairdo.

Tsk.

Cheng Yu straightened up, glanced at the half-smoked cigarette he had put out, and muttered, "What a waste."

To be honest, it's rare to see Shen Zheng in this style. Usually when we see him competing, he always looks bright and handsome with a stern face, as if everyone owes him a million dollars. Shen Zheng with the messy hair looks a bit obedient.

Taking out his cell phone, Cheng Yu pointed it towards the corridor.

"Come and have breakfast together." Shen Zheng walked in with takeout and said to Cheng Yu, "We have purple sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, and porridge. You can choose."

"Click", the sound of a mobile phone camera was clear in the quiet corridor.

Shen Zheng stopped and was confused for two seconds before asking, "Are you taking pictures of me?"

Cheng Yu: Damn! Why isn’t it muted?
"No." He moved the camera of his phone towards the ground behind Shen Zheng and took two more pictures: "I'm taking pictures of cats."

"Cat?" Shen Zheng turned around, and there was nothing behind him. "There are no cats in the base."

Cheng Yu calmly put away his phone: "Oh, maybe I saw it wrong."

Shen Zheng smiled suddenly: "Cheng Yu, if you want to..."

"I'm hungry." Cheng Yu put away his phone and touched his stomach, "Hurry up."

During the meal, Cheng Yu and Shen Zheng sat opposite each other. He took out his phone, opened the album and found the photo.

The photo is a little crooked, but Shen Zheng in the picture is still tall and straight, his pajamas are a little casual, the sunlight falls on his shoulders and forms a golden velvety light, gentle and homely.

Especially the part of her hair that stands up, it's quite cute.

The other two photos only captured half of Shen Zheng's body. Cheng Yu looked at them for two seconds, cut off the excess parts, and saved all three photos in a locked album.

After putting away his phone beautifully, Cheng Yu raised his head and looked directly at Shen Zheng's phone camera.

"Crack*10."

Shen Zheng really had no taboos, and nodded while pressing: "Not bad."

Cheng Yu was stunned by the ten consecutive slaps. He blinked twice before coming back to his senses: "Why are you slapping dad?"

"Eating is so cute." Shen Zheng put down his phone, "Does your hamster department store food?"

"are you……"

Before he could utter the word "seeking death", the door of the training room was suddenly pushed open.

Ling Le was dressed neatly and shouted loudly: "Cheng Yu, there is a handsome guy looking for you!"
