A Broken Mirror Reunited In An E-Sports Ch 45

Rong Yi decided to ask Xiao Yin, “What’s wrong with you?”

Xiao Yin raised his eyes slightly, and the cold and sharp light that had been fixed on him softened.

“What?” Xiao Yin paused.

“I feel like your mood is different from usual today,” Rong Yi tilted his head lightly. “A bit more aggressive. Are you not feeling well?”

“It’s nothing,” Xiao Yin paused once more. “Just some trivial matters, not worth mentioning.”

Rong Yi nodded and didn’t plan to say anything else, but Xiao Yin suddenly moved and asked, “Aggressive? Did I scare you?”

He looked serious, calm, and cold.

“No, no,” Rong Yi said. “I mean you seem sharper than usual.”

He looked at Xiao Yin and added, “handsome.”

The words came out without thinking, and Rong Yi had praised him naturally and sincerely.

Xiao Yin looked at him, and for a rare moment, the corners of his lips curled up, and the sharpness that had been all over his body dissipated slightly.

Afterwards, Rong Yi realized what he had said.

He felt that what he had said was completely fine, and there was no need for reflection.

If Xiao Yin was not handsome, Rong Yi wouldn’t be attracted to him.

The fact that Xiao Yin was handsome was a human consensus, and Rong Yi happened to have praised him in front of him.

Is there anything wrong with praising his handsome boyfriend? No.

So he couldn’t blush.

The break was over, and the VIT team members returned to their positions.

In the first round of the game, VIT emerged victorious and they were on fire.

In the second round, RVG clearly abandoned their strategy of targeting the mid player. This was a wise decision, as even with the disadvantageous Owl hero, Rong Yi was able to take on three opponents alone. For now, there is no team that can truly limit Rong Yi’s ability.

Xiao Yin’s preferred hero, Yin, was banned. Although he has a deep pool of heroes to choose from, not having access to Yin was a big loss for RVG.

However, in this round, VIT had the first pick in the BP strategy. Hui Mao suggested, “Why don’t we give Di to Brother Yin? He’s been targeted so heavily.”

“Returning the favor to the crow that feeds the goat,” quipped Xiao Yin, who then surprised everyone by selecting Di. “I can’t believe I’m seeing this day.”

Laughter filled the room, even Rong Yi couldn’t help but join in. It was evident that Xiao Yin had a talent for witty banter that could disarm people.

At the start of the game, they entered the second round. RVG’s tactics were not as clear as before, as they wanted to play defensively and wait for the right moment. Unfortunately for them, VIT did not give them any opportunities.

In many teams, playing defensively often means conceding the initiative to the other team. Rong Yi’s Lissandra proved to be a game-changer, as he roamed from the mid lane to support, infiltrated the enemy’s jungle with ease, and worked with Xiao Yin to secure kills.

The audience soon realized that VIT’s tactics differed from round to round. If they played the bottom C position in the previous round, they might switch it up in the next round.

VIT had a smooth ride to victory in this round, and the game ended quickly. “Catching the mid player is crucial,” the commentators and audience discussed, “as it can put pressure on VIT. If they don’t catch the mid player, the whole team will be in chaos.”

The two rounds ended with a score of 2:0, securing VIT’s perfect record and RVG’s first loss in the second round of the regular season. The points ranking saw a significant shift.

The commentary team and judges replayed VIT’s highlights, praising their impressive teamwork. “This wave of Green was caught! Lissandra’s teleportation and Yin’s damage coordination took down two players effortlessly. It was like passing someone on the street and killing them casually. Very impressive”

“It’s like accidentally killing someone while walking on the street. Impressive.”

This description quickly resonated with the audience.

[“People say that VIT’s coordination is not great right now, but Easy and Yin have never lost a point in their coordination.”]

[“VIT’s jungle must be the type that needs to sleep before the game.”]

[“It must be because they slept! What should I do, I’m starting to become addicted to VIT’s jungle. They have a unique atmosphere compared to others!”]

After the game, everyone was relaxed.

The new kids who just arrived have already adapted to the process of domestic competitions and were relatively calm.

Ci She asked, “What are we eating tonight? Do we want to go out and celebrate?”

“Although we’re resting tonight, I want to go back, lie down, order takeout for 100 yuan, and let the boss pay for it,” the Hui Mao said calmly.

“I agree,” said Wu Dao Gu.

Rong Yi checked the time.

It was just 5:30 in the afternoon, which is the usual time for getting off work. They really didn’t know how to arrange their evening.

He usually just does personal training on his own.

Just then, someone knocked on the door of the VIT training room and said, “Hello, can we come in? I’m Coach Li from Team B, and RVG asked us to bring a message. They’re inviting you guys for dinner together.”

Rong Yi looked down and saw a new message on his phone from Green, who he hasn’t contacted in years.

【RVG.GREEN】: “Rong Yi, do you have time to have dinner together? You can bring everyone from your club. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, maybe we can chat?”

The tone was very polite.

Rong Yi put down his phone and asked, “Do you guys want to go out to dinner? With RVG’s people.”

Although he had contact with the RVG manager before, he still felt a little surprised by the sudden dinner invitation.

“I don’t want to,” said Wu Dao Gu, raising his hand to decline the invitation.

Hui Mao and Ci She also raised their hands.

Xiao Yin looked at Rong Yi but didn’t say anything.

Rong Yi said, “Alright, if you guys don’t want to, then we won’t go.”

He replied to Green, “Sorry, there’s a scheduling conflict with my team. Let’s meet up next time, okay?”

【RVG.GREEN】: “Alright then.”

【RVG.GREEN】: “I won’t force you guys, but maybe I can treat you to some drinks? In twenty minutes, at the milk tea shop in the commercial area of the building. I’ve already bought it, and the captain can come and pick it up?”

【RVG.GREEN】: “The captain wouldn’t not want to see me, right? Actually, I also want to apologize for my impoliteness a long time ago.”

With the conversation at this point, there was no room for refusal.

Rong Yi said politely, “It’s okay. We’re all professional colleagues. Next time, we’ll invite VIT back too.”

Then he said, “You guys go ahead, I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”

“What are you going to do?” Xiao Yin suddenly asked.

Rong Yi said, “Green said he’ll treat us to milk tea, so I’ll go and get it. I’ll bring each of you a cup.”

“No way, so persistent?” Wu Dao Gu looked at Xiao Yin’s expression and started to joke around, “Is this guy trying to chase after you, Captain Rong?”

Ci She also chimed in, “Yeah, that’s right. What kind of man treats you to milk tea? Be careful, Brother Yin.”

Rong Yi raised an eyebrow and instinctively glanced at Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin’s expression remained unchanged. He said, “I’ll accompany you and wait for you in the rest area.”

Rong Yi thought about it and agreed. Green and the others wouldn’t stay for long, so he said, “Okay, then come with me. Let the driver take them back first.”

Hui Mao protested again, “Boss is breaking the rules! Last time, he went with the captain first! Why is it you again this time?”

Everyone else joked and laughed, but Rong Yi looked at Xiao Yin and was taken aback.

Only Xiao Yin’s expression was obviously wrong.

He pursed his lips, his breath colder than usual, and that feeling of irritation still hadn’t dissipated.

Rong Yi tried to probe, “Are you tired? If you are, then I won’t go.”

“If you’re tired, I won’t go either.”

“It’s okay, you go,” Xiao Yan said. “I’ll wait for you.”

Rong Yi didn’t really understand what was wrong with him, so she just nodded for the time being. “Okay.”

Green chose a good location.

Knowing that the competition had just ended and the audience and media had not yet left, he arranged to meet at the commercial area of the league building, which was a small business storefront for internal employees.

Xiao Yin went upstairs with him and then sat in the lounge waiting.

Rong Yi had thought about asking if he should also go and say hello since they were both from the youth training team, but he decided not to. He didn’t want to bother Xiao Yin and accidentally say something wrong.

As she passed by, Rong Yi did see Green waiting at the door of a milk tea shop.

To be honest, Green’s appearance and temperament were not bad, the kind of carefree and casual style that young girls would like, with a bit of a rogue vibe.

Five years had passed, but he hadn’t changed much.

Rong Yi actually got along well with people like this. They were both carefree and loved to play, but once the other person started to want to be in a romantic relationship with him, he couldn’t accept it.

Before the confession incident, Rong Yi actually called him “brother” and they got along pretty well.

It can only be said that there was nothing wrong with them, but he just happened not to like it.

“You’re here?” Green saw him and lifted the milk tea in his hand. “I didn’t know what your club likes, so I just ordered regular sugar. I also got you peach-flavored milk, which I know you like.”

“Thank you, but let’s treat each other today?” Rong Yi opened his phone to order. “You guys can pay for the milk tea, and I’ll buy some small cakes to give to your team. That way, we’re even.”

“Okay, sounds good.” Green smiled. “You’re being polite, Captain Rong.”

Rong Yi also smiled and said, “Basic courtesy is still necessary. After all, as the captain of the team, if I don’t treat you, the kids in the team will say I’m stingy.”

They exchanged a few more words, keeping a good sense of propriety.

Never bring up the past when it’s inappropriate.

This was something Rong Yi had learned over time.

In the past, he was young and called anyone “brother” and would play with them if they had common interests. But in some people’s eyes, this behavior became deliberate or had an ulterior motive.

It was boring.

Fortunately, Green was someone who knew how to keep things appropriate. “I see.”

He didn’t say anything more.

The two of them stood in front of the shop, waiting for the staff to pack their orders. Suddenly, Green asked, “I heard you got married to Yin?”
