A Broken Mirror Reunited In An E-Sports Ch 46

Rong Yi was stunned for a moment. The information was a bit overwhelming, and he repeated it like a parrot, “I…married Yin?” He glanced at Green’s expression, suppressed the doubt in his words, and calmly asked, “Who told you that?”

“Is it true or not?” Green pursued his reaction, with a hint of probing in his tone. “I heard it from someone.”

“Well…it’s almost true,” calmly replied Rong Yi. Boyfriend and marriage, aren’t they almost the same thing? But he still wanted to inquire, lest Lin Yi, the guy who spread rumors everywhere and led the trend of shipping CP, would provoke Xiao Yin’s disgust.

With a calm face, he asked again, “May I ask who told you?”

“I won’t tell you.” Green smiled and then glanced at him. “You two are quite interesting.”

Rong Yi: “…”

He didn’t say much to Green and went to the rest area after taking the milk tea. He raised his wrist and checked the time. It took about fifteen minutes to wait for the milk tea and small cakes to be made.

Xiao Yin leaned on the sofa in the rest area and was looking down at his phone. The air conditioning in the league building was on strong, making it chilly.

Xiao Yin wore a pure black suit jacket and had a slight chill about him. His black eyelashes were slightly drooping, like a still black butterfly. Xiao Yin was indeed too cold today and looked quite scary.

Rong Yi walked over and handed a large bag of milk tea to him, smiling, “I’m back. Boss, choose first?”

Xiao Yin’s gaze stopped on the bag he brought, and he said, “I don’t really like sweet things.” He stood up, took the bag from Rong Yi’s hand, held it for him, and then said, “Let’s go.”

Rong Yi had originally wanted to get himself a cup of white peach milk, but when he saw Xiao Yin took the bag first, he silently withdrew his hand and followed behind him. It would be the same to drink it in the car later.

The others had already left, and Xiao Yin drove the second car himself, letting Rong Yi sit in the passenger seat. The busiest time downstairs had passed, and the media and fans had already left.

Xiao Yin opened the car door for Rong Yi, and Rong Yi got in and casually said, “Let me hold it. It’s inconvenient for you to put it.”

Xiao Yin still held the bag with seven or eight cups of milk tea in his hand. Rong Yi reached out his hand, thinking that he would hand it to him, but Xiao Yin did not move.

After looking at him for a moment, Xiao Yin said, “Can I throw it away?”

Very direct.

Rong Yi was a little surprised.

“I’ll order another one for you. I don’t want you to drink the one this person bought,” Xiao Yin’s tone was restrained, calm, and even a bit probing.

Rong Yi felt a bit curious. It was the first time he had heard Xiao Yin express his rejection of someone so directly.

He thought for a moment and smiled, “Okay, but if we just throw it away, isn’t it…”

“Let someone else drink it. I don’t want you to drink it. Is that okay?” Xiao Yin continued.

His tone was restrained, gentle, and aloof, but he was already beginning to be stubborn. The palpable1 annoyance was even stronger.

He was calmly seeking Rong Yi’s opinion.

Rong Yi was stunned for a moment and thought that Xiao Yin’s mood had been low all day. So he nodded and said, “Okay. You can put it in the mini fridge in the back seat and bring it back to them later.”

He didn’t really care, and his relationship with Green had already faded. Whatever Xiao Yin liked, he would follow.

“Okay,” Xiao Yin nodded.

The oppressive and irritable aura around him seemed to disappear in an instant.

Rong Yi watched him get into the car from the other side and then came over to fasten his seatbelt. Rong Yi was slow to react, but Xiao Yin had already reached out his hand and fastened his seatbelt for him. He then leaned back slightly and looked up to see Xiao Yin’s tightly clenched jaw and his perfect, calm profile.

Rong Yi quietly waited for him to fasten his seatbelt.

The car started and drove onto the road, the windshield wipers swaying and wiping away the invisible dust on the window.

Rong Yi asked, “Do you have any conflicts with Green?”

He should have realized earlier that Xiao Yin had a bad relationship with other people when he was in the youth training team. With his conflicting ideas with the main team and the coach, it might be difficult for him to get along with other players as well.

Xiao Yin was a lone wolf. Five years ago, he was even more domineering and could not tolerate others.

“Nothing,” Xiao Yin lightly clicked his tongue, then adjusted his tone to be indifferent.

“Just don’t want to see anything related to that person.”

Rong Yi: “.”

So that’s what “nothing” meant.

He understood.

The two of them remained silent all the way, but Xiao Yin had gradually returned to his usual self on the road. It seemed that his casual reply of “okay” had already smoothed out all the waves.

When they arrived at the club, Rong Yi waited for the car to stop and then lowered his head to unfasten his seatbelt.

“I’m very sorry,” Xiao Yin said.

Rong Yi raised his eyes to look at him. “I acted a little out of character in front of you today.” It was still that hoarse and peculiar voice, with a touch of foreign word usage, both indifferent and serious, yet also sincere and elegant.

Rong Yi unconsciously hooked the corner of his mouth. “It’s okay. It’s okay.”

He actually thought he was quite cute.

Rong Yi got off the car and went to the back to open the car refrigerator, took out the milk tea, and distributed it to everyone inside.

Of course, he didn’t take one for himself.

The few fools in the team didn’t notice this small detail. Ci She and Hui Mao divided the milk tea and gave the extras to the operations team.

The operations girl who received a cup of milk tea was a little delighted. “It’s white peach flavor. This one tastes good.”

The girl looked at Rong Yi who was changing shoes on the side. “Captain, aren’t you drinking? Don’t you like white peach flavor?”

Rong Yi casually made up a reason. “I do like it, but I don’t want to drink it now. You guys can have it.”

“Captain likes such a girly flavor?” Ci She rubbed his chin. “We thought you only drank milk or soy milk. Whenever we ordered takeout, you rarely drank any beverages.”

“I know,” the operations girl said. “I’ve seen it before. In the old days, there was a preference chart for e-sports players in the circle. It was originally a special column program, but that column was later canceled, and now it can’t be found anymore.”

“Green is really thoughtful, he must have specially bought it for the captain, right?”

The operations girl said, “He always said he was a fan of the captain. It wasn’t a lie.”

Rong Yi smiled casually. “We just knew each other before.”

Green would know that too because they played well together back then.

Rong Yi used to have a strong taste preference, loved to drink very sweet beverages, and loved all kinds of fragrances. Later, he started to focus on health, and his taste changed accordingly.

He hadn’t said a word, even though Xiao Yin was standing next to him.

The evening was free time, and Rong Yi had forgotten about the bubble tea. He went to the training room and opened his software, practicing his operations and reaction speed on his own.

Wednesday evening was a special time for the team to ask questions and have heart-to-heart talks with each other

After reviewing the game, Hui Mao and Ci She usually lined up to share their thoughts and summarize their current problems. The summary used to be handed in to Xiao Yin, but since Rong Yi arrived, they went straight to him instead

Rong Yi was practicing last-hitting while chatting with two kids in the training room.

They talked about which heroes seemed to have hit a bottleneck, and which operation habits were more suitable, among other things.

Xiao Yin and Wu Dao Gu usually didn’t participate in this part, so Wu Dao Gu watched a documentary in the living room.

Xiao Yin was also in the training room, but he wasn’t running a personal training session. He was just waiting on the side, looking down at his messages and not speaking or paying attention to others

Rong Yi noticed him out of the corner of his eye and saw that he seemed to be chatting with someone on his phone

— “That’s right, Yin God, Green did pursue Easy before.”

— “He also asked me to apologize to you today, saying that those words weren’t his intention. He was just conveying a message and hoped that you would be forgiving.”

— “Yes, yes. They were all young and naive back then. The situation between you and Easy wasn’t just between the two of you, there were also RO and RS involved. Green was just mixing in, please don’t hold it against him.”

— “We’re really sorry about this. We were originally conveying a message for a member of Rong’s team, but we didn’t expect you to misunderstand it as Easy’s own words.”

Xiao Yin furrowed his brows and clicked his tongue.

He hadn’t replied to the other party’s message all this time, but now he finally sent a message back in response.

“You guys should get his personal WeChat and tell me that if he continues to behave like this while staying in the domestic league, it will affect his career and reputation.”

“You’re telling me that you were just conveying a message?”

The other side clearly sensed his anger and quickly retracted.

“No, no, that’s not what we meant. We just meant that there may have been some communication problems back then…”

The other side was still trying to explain, but Xiao Yin just blocked them.

On the other side, Green and the manager who conveyed the message looked at each other.

The manager had some acquaintance with Xiao Yin, but not in the e-sports circle, but rather in the investment circle. He had originally thought that he could get to know Xiao Yin and mediate a little, help say something luxurious, but now it seemed to have backfired.

“You shouldn’t have provoked him. If he doesn’t want to bring up this matter, he might not do anything to you,” the manager said, feeling helpless.

Green also took a deep breath.

“I really didn’t think that much.” Green finally began to panic a little. “I thought Easy had a falling out with RS, and now he’s with Xiao Yin, so at least he knows about this. But it seems like Easy still doesn’t know.”

Initially, there were rumors that Rong Yi and Xiao Yin were in a relationship. Rong Yi had recruited the players for RS, and at the time, the jungle position had not been decided, with RS’s current jungler Lang Bai still on the list of candidates.

The RS management did not like Xiao Yin. He was difficult to control, and with his background, if he were to join RS, it could lead to a change of power within the organization.

RO did not want to keep Xiao Yin, but they also did not want him to go to RS. In the end, they reached an agreement to not break up Rong Yi and Xiao Yan publicly but resorted to some shady tactics behind the scenes.

Xiao Yin was young and impulsive, and although his character could be easily influenced five years ago, now he was impossible to control.

People like Yin should never be provoked.

As the night deepened, Ci She and Hui Mao finished their questions, asked Rong Yi for their personal training goals for next week, and then went to bed with a yawn.

Wu Dao Gu had disappeared from the living room a long time ago, and only the TV playing a documentary was still flashing back.

Rong Yi also yawned, saved the training file, and then turned off the computer. When he looked up, he saw Xiao Yin still sitting there.

He stood up, stretched lazily, and asked him, “Aren’t you going to rest? It’s very late.”

Xiao Yin raised his head, put down his phone, and stood up too, “Yeah.”

“What time do you want to review tomorrow?” Rong Yi asked, “RVG’s performance this time is actually quite informative for us to coordinate. Their jungle style is indeed aggressive.”

He paused for a moment and didn’t mention Green’s name, “They do have attacking power in their jungle position.”

“Anytime.” Xiao Yin breathed lightly and then realized that his words sounded indifferent and tired, so he quickly adjusted himself, “Let’s do it at 9 o’clock in the morning. I’ll bring the review.”

The way he adjusted his mood was very obvious, like a robot pressing the “polite mode” button, and then instantly switched to the next state.

Rong Yi looked at him.

Xiao Yin said, “I’m sorry. I’m not in a good mood today. I don’t want you to face me like this.”

Rong Yi said, “It’s okay.”

He tilted his head slightly and didn’t ask what was bothering Xiao Yin. He only asked, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

He leaned over lightly, and his disheveled hair followed the movement. His peach blossom eyes were bright and peaceful, like the gentle and bright summer wind that could soothe everything. The young and enthusiastic team leader from before had grown up to become this appearance.

Strangely, Xiao Yin whispered, “I’m annoyed.”

Under the strict upbringing and his own strict demands, he had never considered this possibility. Everything should be dignified, and everything should be under his control.

But there were things he couldn’t control.

Xiao Yin repeated it again, still without much expression, “I’m annoyed.”

“That person pursued you, and I’m annoyed.”

“When I see him, I think of how I lost you five years ago.”

“I’m annoyed.”

“He knows you better than I do.”

“He has seen you five years ago, and he knows what you like to drink.”

He walked up to him, gently took his hand, held it in his palm, repeatedly rubbed it, and his voice was devoid of any emotion, “I want them all to disappear.”
