Are you really trying to cultivate immortality? Something feels off.

"You get some rest," Xie Weixing said, putting his arm around Tan Suiting's shoulder. "We'll take care of things this afternoon."

"Hmm." Tan Suiting nodded, his fingertips gently pressing on his senior brother's wrist.

"But why was the blood you shed on the field golden today?" Xie Weixing asked in confusion.

Apart from the time he underwent tribulation and the time he was in the Ten Thousand Swords Cave, Xie Weixing had never seen him bleed golden dragon blood.

"You used your bloodline power today?"

Tan Suiting paused for a moment, then nodded: "I used a little, so I need to rest."

If he hadn't used his bloodline power, he could have fought another match that afternoon.

"Even in this state, you still won't use your sword?" Xie Weixing chuckled, adjusting the spirit-restoring incense made by Shen Chunri by his bedside to speed up the recovery of his spiritual energy. "You really are putting on a good show."

Tan Suiting smiled, shifted his position to the side, and made room for half of the bed.

His eyes were bright, showing none of the shyness one would expect from a 24-year-old.

Xie Weixing said helplessly, "You rest, I still need to discuss the details of the competition this afternoon with my junior uncle."

Tan Suiting paused for a moment, then shook his head without speaking, and patted the half of the bed beside him.

"Are you trying to be a scoundrel?" Xie Weixing smiled and held up two fingers to make a very old-fashioned heart shape for him. "I'm giving you a little heart from your senior brother. You can sleep alone once, okay?"

Tan Suiting looked at him quietly.

Xie Weixing felt embarrassed, because he actually had some connection with this heart-shaped hand gesture when he was playing e-sports.

During that period, he had just started playing and gained a large number of female fans due to his outstanding appearance. In addition, his first match was against the veteran popular team YNK. After getting a quadra kill in the endgame, he threw a sticker on the corpse.

That same evening, he was trending second on social media for all the wrong reasons, with the top spot going to a top male celebrity who was arrested for soliciting prostitution.

[A rookie who started without any youth training is here; he knows exactly how much he sacrificed.]

[When your brother DuckBrain won the championship, what kind of trash were you? You think you're so great just because you managed to dribble through four people in a clutch situation?]

[I couldn't help but praise Shenhuang after just one game. It's more like he's starting without youth training. If his ID is Dead Water (BackWater), then let's call him Prison Urine.]

[This is the first time I've ever seen a newbie kill four people and then put stickers on their corpses, and the opposing team is YNK, the top-ranked fan club. Bro, aren't you sure the DuckBrains fans are going to tear you apart today?]

[Although, putting aside the sticker issue, he really wasn't just lucky. This is the first time I've seen such a smooth grenade throw and such a smooth yet steady gun line. I can only say that the top club really knows how to buy players. After this round of domestic competitions, they can try their luck in international tournaments.]

[Relying on his flashy face, he can't wait to get attention. YNK has no obligation to help others, and it seems your world championship is still a dream.]

The internet was too turbulent, and it was during the competition preparation period. The coach was afraid that it would affect his and his teammates' mentality, so all of their mobile phones were confiscated, and they were cut off from the internet except for training.

After finishing the competition and winning a prize, Xie Weixing immediately took a selfie on Weibo.

KWG_BackWater: If you're bad at games, you should just make a living off your looks.

It was followed by an extremely flamboyant emoticon that was also used to act cute.

That night, the entire club was trending on social media all day because of Xie Weixing.

#KWG wins the Autumn Season Championship

#KWG, do you recruit players based on their looks?

#Is it my fault that Xie Weixing is handsome?

#BackWater&YNK: A Love-Hate Relationship Among Elite Teams

The person in charge of KWG was grinning from ear to ear. The team members were naturally good at generating buzz, saving them a lot of money on advertising.

The comments section exploded.

[Ahhh, Xinghuang is so handsome! Has he been banned from the internet by the coaching staff lately? He played so well in the finals, we'll always be behind you! Of course, if your performance drops next time and we get a boomerang because of what you said, I'll really mess with you then /starry-eyed. Don't be surprised if you get some vegetables and eggs offline then!]

This is a kind of supportive, cute, and humiliating pursuit.

KWG_BackWater replied: Oh.

[I can't stand it anymore, aren't you greasy? You're radiating self-satisfaction everywhere you go, like an excited gorilla.]

Upon entering the homepage, I discovered that KWG_BackWater is a solo super topic moderator.

This is a sabotaging and insulting tactic.

KWG_BackWater replied: Sigh. You get lost too.

Is this Versailles? I wish someone would tell me, "Besides your face, what else do you have to brag about?"

This is a genuine passerby.

KWG_BackWater replied: Don't I feel upset and sad when I keep hearing these kinds of words?

The passerby replied instantly: Get lost.

[Does looking like that pose a risk of someone sleeping alone? He just won a championship and is already posting selfies and sleeping with fans, engaging in prostitution and womanizing underage, while female fans travel thousands of miles to see him off.]

This is a malicious attack that doesn't even bother to fake it.

KWG_BackWater replied: Male fans shouldn't be idle either.

A row of question marks filled the screen, and the trending topics were updated again.

#BackWater Male fans shouldn't be idle either.

#XieWeixing doesn't eat stress

#FPS Emperor Sculpture

So, after only half a year since his debut, relying on his tendency to generate negative buzz and his titles as the number one FPS genius, the number one crown prince, and the number one hater, BackWater quickly rose to the top of the League's popularity rankings.

The person in charge had a blank expression: "Should I thank you for saving me money on buying trending topics, or blame you for causing five people in the PR team to resign within three months due to excessive pressure?"

Xie Weixing: "Hehe."

His internet connection was cut off again.

He received special treatment as a single individual, but later, due to strong fan complaints, the other teammates were forced to drop out as well.

This resulted in the young men not being able to go online for more than half a year. When fans came to ask for autographs at offline competitions, Xie Weixing signed an autograph and made a particularly old-fashioned heart shape with his hands, which was laughed at by fans for two months.

The second time he was offline, a female fan came to pick him up. In order to mock him, she made the same pose again, getting so close that she almost poked his face.

Fearing the security guards might react defensively, Xie Weixing reached out and gently pulled the fan's hand back to him, a helpless smile playing on his lips, his expression calm. His long, slender fingers enveloped the girl's hand, revealing faint blue veins, strong knuckles, and a ring gleaming coldly.

This GIF was shared tens of thousands of times on Weibo. He did receive a lot of criticism, but he also became incredibly popular. In just one and a half years since his debut, he became the highest-paid player in the entire league and a core member of KWG. His transfer fee set a new record, and he dominated the entire season.

[I heard you're still vying for a starting position?]

Even if your uncle KWG risked his life, he wouldn't dare sell Xie Weixing.

BackWater created KWG's current and future glory; the Water Emperor is great!

The people in the observation room were unaware that he was reminiscing about the past and were still having a heated discussion.

[Family Status in the Family] be like

[At twenty-four, you still need your senior brother to lull you to sleep? Tan Suiting, aren't you a little too independent with Kun'er?]

[Long said, "Senior brother, my bed is so cold. You're still asleep." Brother immediately made an old-fashioned hand gesture that I hadn't seen in a hundred years to comfort someone.]

[Hilarious! Only Tan Suiting gets this kind of treatment. If it were Shen Chunri saying, "Senior brother, my bed is so cold, and you're still asleep, I'll go boil some water right away," he would say.]

Tan Suiting blinked: "Then lie down with me for a while, okay?"

Xiaolong has fair skin, bearing the marks of his recent fight, long eyelashes, and a serious look in his eyes.

Xie Weixing let out a long sigh in his heart.

Having said all that, and considering Tan Suiting's appearance, what reason does he have to refuse? Would he even be human if he refused?

Xie Weixing sighed.

It's beauty.

It prevented him from becoming a true-blue overpowered protagonist.
