Rong Yi was holding a card in his hand, unsure of whether to discard it or keep it. He sat in front of the computer, reviewing yesterday’s records of the first half of the process.
Neither of them had undressed completely, and there was no thorough exchange. But just using their hands had already made their blood boil. Coincidentally, he wore black and the other wore white that day. They were pressed against the desk, and the visually striking contrast between their colors and body types created a striking image.
Rong Yi watched it twice before deleting all the local records and putting the storage card into his miscellaneous box. As the team captain, he had been celibate for a few years and barely had time to watch movies, let alone something so stimulating.
After putting the card away, Xiao Yin sent him another message, forwarding an advertisement from H-ATP’s home. Rong Yi clicked on it. According to ATP’s promotional method, only a few pictures were released today to stimulate curiosity. Several sets of pictures were processed into long strips, with product introductions and basic advertising copy inside.
Rong Yi’s hand naturally stood out. The dark red and fragmented gold tie, along with the white fingertips that were slightly contracted with effort, created a visually striking contrast that caught people’s attention. The official account’s comment section was filled with screams.
[F*ck, is this Easy’s hand? Whoever says that Easy doesn’t dare to show his face and is definitely ugly, I’ll spit on him! How pretty must the person be if their hands look this good?]
[This is Easy? The highest quality endorsement of e-sports players in recent years, no doubt about it? I’ll buy it all! This is too good-looking!]
A large group of people in the official account’s comment section started referring to him as “wifeâ€. This was a relatively new experience. Rong Yi looked at it and saw that he had quite a few fans, mostly passersby with a good impression or technology geeks. People who called him “husband†were there, but this was the first time he had been referred to as “wifeâ€.
Anyway, he had done a very successful endorsement, and now there was a small trend of him going viral. E-sports audiences were now discussing Easy again, frantically. The girl on the operations side had already sent congratulations to Rong Yi and vowed to take down several more high-priced endorsements.
After Rong Yi finished reading, he returned to the chat page and sent a message to Xiao Yin. “Thank you, your photography skills are goodâ€
After sending the message, Rong Yi felt like he was beyond redemption the more he tried to cover up, the more he exposed himself.
Xiao Yin was shown as “typing†and he was now reading the message.
Rong Yi had no time to retract it.
Fortunately, Xiao Yin didn’t seem to have picked up on the innuendo1.
Xiao Yin said, “Did you see the sample photos?â€
Thinking of it now, Rong Yi said, “Yes, but it seems that a few of them are not being used? Did they not pass?â€
“These are the ones,†Xiao Yin said.
“I think the number of selected photos is enough, so I kept some.†He sent a file package.
Rong Yi opened it and saw some more pictures that were more explicit and closer.
Rong Yi said, “I understand.â€
Xiao Yin said, “I kept these photos for myself. Do you think it’s okay? They won’t be leaked.â€
Rong Yi took a deep breath.
Xiao Yin definitely didn’t copy the video himself, but gave him the master tape.
Apart from his abilities, Xiao Yin’s personality was the most trustworthy.
He would selflessly eliminate all possible risks and anxieties for him.
Of course, he would also be as straightforward as he was now.
Rong Yi decided not to ask what he would do with the photos and simply said, “Okay, you can keep them.â€
Xiao Yin’s chat window showed “typing†again, indicating that he wanted to say something. But Rong Yi had been waiting for a long time and hadn’t received any message from Xiao Yin.
Finally, the “typing†disappeared, and Rong Yi turned off his phone and went to bed.
Their relationship seemed to have taken a step forward, or maybe it had always been like this. Rong Yi couldn’t figure it out himself. If he and Xiao Yin had been together all this time and had waited for Xiao Yin’s debut, what would their relationship be like? Probably similar to what it is now.
They were both workaholics, and they thought it was a waste of time to talk about love and romance. They only had time for sex.
The second round of the regular season was not over yet. After playing against RS once, they had to compete in the score matches with other teams in Group A.
Due to the difference in the number of games played, VIT had dropped from first to third in the rankings. But it was not a big problem for them as they still maintained an undefeated record.
This week, they would face the league team RVG.
This team had undergone several reorganizations, and the club manager had even approached Rong Yi to form a team around him. But Rong Yi had refused. After that, he had not paid any attention to them. However, their performance this year was quite good, so the club must have found new players and coaches for them.
While researching news in the industry, Rong Yi also came across news about an RS reinforcement training team.
They had hired a coach from a foreign intercontinental championship team and expanded their reserve team system directly from the youth training camp. This was unusual. RS was currently ranked in the top three in the standings, and they would not normally make personnel changes in the core coaching group in the middle of the season when the new season plan and tactics were not yet mature. Changing now would be self-destructive.
But Rong Yi didn’t know why RS was making these changes.
After skimming through this news, Rong Yi discussed with the others how to play in the next game.
The data report for RVG’s new season showed that they were very likely to focus on the core. VIT’s core tactics had gradually emerged this season, and RVG’s tactics were all about cutting through the formation and finding opportunities to play a delaying game.
Everyone was well aware of VIT’s current weakness, which was their lack of coordination.
With a play style that combines cooperation and high-risk, high-reward strategies, as the game progresses to the late stages, it becomes easier for the opponent to counterattack.
If this had happened to one of the teams before, the club would definitely have made everyone practice late-game operational systems.
But Xiao Yin’s idea is simple and straightforward enough.
Xiao Yin said, “There’s no need, because the risks in the late game are high, and practicing another system may not necessarily lead to a win. But if we work well together, every game can end quickly, and all problems can be solved.â€
This is Xiao Yin’s approach, a direct and high-risk, high-reward strategy.
The more afraid of not winning, the more energy will be dispersed, and the less chance of winning.
They have seen many such situations in the many years they have been in the league.
On the day of the match, at VIT’s home court, as usual, they entered the league building for the game.
As before, Rong Yi went ahead and waited upstairs, flipping through the personnel list.
The RVG team had changed its member’s names, but he recognized the jungle player on the field: RVG.GREEN.
After looking at it for a few seconds, Rong Yi felt familiar with it and then remembered a somewhat awkward incident.
Green had eaten with him a few times a long time ago and pursued him, but at that time he was still straight and naturally refused him with the excuse of being a young boy.
Later, he met Xiao Yin and realized he was gay.
This kind of thing is awkward to explain, but the circle is big, and he and Green met each other many times in the game, but they never had any offline contact after that, and Rong Yi slowly forgot about it.
He thought Green should have forgotten it too.
Just flipping through the information, he found an interesting little thing: RVG.GREEN had been a youth trainee in RO for two quarters.
Calculating the time, he was probably still known to Xiao Yin in China, as one of the few active starting players.
Downstairs, it was still the familiar fan entrance and media photo shoot, and the VIT team had already become adept at dealing with it.
Before the game, Xiao Yin was accompanied by an assistant who whispered relevant information and news to him when they met.
“RVG manager, we’ve talked to Rong’s team before, and there seem to be quite a few Rong’s fans on their team, and there’s no overall conflict.â€
“Green, an operational jungler, that’s him.â€
Xiao Yin stopped.
Green, who is on the other side, smilingly looks over and, at the same time, his voice drifts out.
“Easy is still not showing up. He’s so good-looking, though.â€
In a momentary stare, Xiao Yin’s gaze darkens momentarily, while Green also hesitates for a moment.
The pressure is intense.
After Green recovers from his daze, he introduces himself actively, “Hello, I’m Green.â€
Xiao Yin does not extend his hand.
Green notices but doesn’t appear embarrassed by his hesitation. He just tilts his head slightly and asks, “Brother Yin, do you remember me? We talked a few years ago, right?â€
“I never thought that Brother Yin would be so loyal. After hearing those words, you still came back to China to find him after five years?â€
Xiao Yin’s sharp phoenix eyes suddenly become terrifying, but it’s only for a moment.
Xiao Yin quickly resumes his composure, smiles casually, and looks down on Green.
“Do you know my partner?â€
