A Broken Mirror Reunited In An E-Sports Ch 62

Rong Yi lowered his head and looked at the notebook in his hand, gently poking it with a borrowed pen.

The lighting under the stage was dim, making it difficult to see the words. Occasionally, he would raise his eyes and stretch them, only to find that the people around were looking in his direction.

Rong Yi blinked his eyes a few times, confirming it.

With his peach blossom eyes shimmering, everyone else averted their gaze, and a small number of people in the distance were staring at him, suppressing some excited discussions.

He didn’t understand their intention and subconsciously looked up at the stage, but he couldn’t see anything.

Was there a new segment?

It didn’t seem like it.

Perhaps it wasn’t about him?

On the stage, there was a performance competition, and the participants were the stars of this season’s secondary league show, playing alongside real celebrities.

Most of the audience was focused on the intense competition, with a few celebrities attracting high attention, and the live fan support creating wave after wave.

Rong Yi casually took out his phone and checked it.

The sponsors’ seats below the stage didn’t require phones to be surrendered, but it wasn’t appropriate to play with the phone on the table.

Rong Yi simply lowered his head to confirm if there were any new messages.

【Latest Message: Mom】: “Are you coming back for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Should I have your younger brother pick you up?”

He scrolled up the chat history and saw the ticket image and arrival time sent by Rong Yi. It was three days ago.

Rong Yi casually replied, “Hmm, no need to pick me up.”

There was no reply from the other side, so they probably hadn’t seen it or hadn’t thought of responding immediately. Rong Yi scrolled up again.

A little further up, the chat history only occurred every two or three months.

The second-to-last message was [Click the link, vote for Li Jian, Class 1, Grade 2 of the elementary school!]

The postscript said, [Vote for your younger brother. You’ve become famous in the competition, so you can bring in a lot of votes, right?]

Rong Yi’s reply was rather succinct.

He said, “No time.”

He turned off the phone screen and raised his head again, realizing that someone was looking at him.

It was Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin was looking at him.

Rong Yi knew where the VIT seat was. As he put down his phone and raised his eyes, he happened to meet Xiao Yin’s gaze.

The stage lighting was too dazzling, with fragments of star-like lights shining in the blue sea of lights, falling on Xiao Yin’s shoulders and cheeks.

His excessively handsome face appeared even more cold and aloof.

Without any other expression, Rong Yi was certain that Xiao Yin was looking at him.

He glanced behind him and turned back, raising his eyes.

In response, Xiao Yin squinted his eyes and smiled at him, lightly tapping on the table with his fingertips, with a small range of motion.

At this moment, Rong Yi finally noticed that there was a large high-definition screen on the guest seat on the other side, and the camera was currently focused on Xiao Yin.

Today, Xiao Yin was the most popular celebrity contestant in the entire venue, so naturally, there were more camera shots of him.

Although there were many popular celebrities from the entertainment industry present, the e-sports audience didn’t seem to be interested in that.

They just loved watching Xiao Yin.

At this moment, the close-up of Xiao Yin’s high-definition image appeared on the big screen, and everyone saw his cold and stern face, as well as his gentle smile directed towards some direction outside the camera.

Now, the online fans went crazy again.

[“Oh my God—he’s smiling at someone?”]

[“Damn, Brother Yin actually smiled—so charming and handsome—whom is he looking at?”]

[“This is the audience seat!”]

[“It’s like two people having a secret signal with eye contact during a meeting in the office! Bros!”]

The audience on the scene was also nearing madness.

[“Quick, look over there! The spot Brother Yin just looked at, behind the production crew.”

[“There’s a guy wearing a white shirt, black mask, and a baseball cap. Brother Yin was definitely looking at him!”]

[“I noticed him too! Apart from the coaching staff, this group is the sponsors, but he’s the only one taking notes.”]

[“Is it him? I thought it was some small celebrity at first. I didn’t even think of the captain!”]

[“And the cap and mask! That’s the Easy standard, right?”]

The answer seemed obvious.

Xiao Yin didn’t try to conceal the look in his eyes as he glanced over. A group of fans gathered around, and they saw the baseball-capped youth look back. Although his expression couldn’t be seen, it felt like he looked back and even smiled lightly.

[“It must be him!”]

In the VIT fan group, several girls gathered together, barely holding back their screams. “I saw him just now, applauding VIT! Oh my god! That’s definitely the captain!”

“That’s the captain?”

Although they were mentally prepared, it was still hard to believe when looking from a distance.

Even under the dim stage lights, he looked astonishingly good.

He was the kind of eye-catching good-looking person.

He had good manners, partially facing the audience, revealing his slender neck and dark messy hair.

Audience members closer to him occasionally caught glimpses of him turning and bowing his head. Although his face was partially obscured by the mask and cap, they could see a pair of incredibly beautiful and bright eyes. At the same time, his demeanor carried a sense of depth and aloofness.

It made people subconsciously hold their breath when looking at him.

Rong Yi didn’t have much of a real sense of his own looks. He knew he was good-looking, but he wasn’t an otherworldly beauty. Even when he wore a cap and mask, people often noticed him.

Today, more people than usual were looking at him.

Rong Yi felt a bit tickled by all the attention and lowered his head to check his phone.

There weren’t many messages in the group chat. The e-sports players were all on stage, including Lin Yi.

It seemed that nothing significant had happened.

The audience had to keep their phones, so if there was an issue, it probably wasn’t related to the venue.

Rong Yi continued to ponder while the host announced the end of the first half, entering the halftime break.

“Please keep your ticket stubs, as they will be required for the second half of the program. Please refrain from making loud noises or causing disruptions. Do not block the players or staff.”

“We have a rest area where players’ merchandise, free snacks, beverages, and a signing event will be available. Please look forward to it.”

People stood up and moved around.

The sponsors were mostly unfamiliar with e-sports and had left their seats. Those who remained were discussing business matters.

After the halftime break and activities, the teams would stay behind to sign autographs.

However, VIT was not among them.

Xiao Yin had already made the decision not to sign autographs for this special event, only offering limited pre-written signatures during the All-Star Game. The other players agreed as well.

The reason for not signing autographs was simple: their hands.

Tendonitis was common among e-sports players. Signing a few thousand autographs in one event would strain their hands, even if they weren’t injured.

When it came to their hands, it was a matter of principle, and Xiao Yin promptly decided against it.

The other team members exited the backstage area in an orderly manner. Those who attracted more attention walked through the audience channel, followed closely by excited fan groups.

There were naturally many people waiting for Xiao Yin.

There were still many spectators in the audience who hadn’t left. After the venue lights were fully lit, a group of fans gathered together and shouted towards the stage, “Brother Yin— Brother Yin, are you not coming down to sign autographs?”

“Brother Yin is amazing! VIT, fight for the championship this year!”

Rong Yi sat in the front row of the audience, slightly leaning back, arms crossed, watching him.

Xiao Yin indeed had style. Despite the high popularity over the years, he stood there, not showing off his handsomeness, appearing calm and composed. He raised his chin slightly and smiled at the audience below, then waved.

This gesture sparked a wave of screams.

“Ah—Brother Yin! So handsome!”

Rong Yi thought that after greeting the fans, Xiao Yin would leave from the side. However, unexpectedly, Xiao Yin walked directly down the steps on one side.

The stage was not far from the audience seats, with only two safety barriers separating them.

Thanks to the stage microphone, Xiao Yin’s voice was clear and amplified.

“Thank you all for coming today. We have some matters to attend to. Goodbye.”

Xiao Yin left the stage and walked towards the guest seats. Rong Yi tilted his head slightly, straightened his back, and looked at Xiao Yin with his eyes.

‘Is he looking for me?’ Rong Yi wondered.

Xiao Yin appeared serious. He nodded and, with everyone’s gaze upon him, walked towards Rong Yi and sat down beside him.

Rong Yi vaguely heard a few suppressed, joyful screams erupting behind them.

Now, truly, everyone was looking at them.

The entire stage, both the upper and lower levels, and all the remaining audience members were watching them.

Rong Yi lifted his gaze and looked into Xiao Yin’s eyes. His lips curved slightly as he asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I saw you writing and drawing on the stage. Are there people you want to sign for?” Xiao Yin asked in a low voice.

“Well… I saw a few. I think…” Rong Yi instinctively pointed them out and then quietly shared his analysis.

From the audience’s perspective, Xiao Yin leaned closer to the young man, their postures intimate, almost touching heads as they leaned towards each other.

VIT’s fans were already going crazy.

Yin and Easy’s fans were also ecstatic.

No one dared to speak or disturb them. It wasn’t until after their brief conversation that Xiao Yin stood up and said, “Let’s go to the rest area for a while. Sitting for a long time must be tiring.”

He reached out his hand to Rong Yi.

His expression calm and natural.

Rong Yi tried to control himself and not pay attention to the gazes and the suppressed screams of the fans, but he couldn’t do it.

Since Rong Yi didn’t move, Xiao Yin leaned over and took the initiative to hold his hand.

“Oh my god—”

Screams erupted from the back rows.

“God Yin, you’re killing us—”

The air conditioning blew towards the front rows, and Rong Yi’s hand felt slightly cool.

As Xiao Yin held his hand and they walked towards the rest area, after taking a step, Rong Yi heard Xiao Yin lower his voice and ask, “Are you cold?”

It was the same calm and indifferent voice.

Rong Yi replied, “Actually, I’m fine.”

Mainly, he had forgotten that the air conditioning in the venue was usually set low. If he had known, he would have brought a jacket.

Although it was cold, it wasn’t unbearable.

Xiao Yin stopped in his tracks and looked at him.

Rong Yi obediently stood still, tilting his head to look at Xiao Yin, and asked, “Hmm?”

Xiao Yin suddenly let go of Rong Yi’s fingertips.

He casually took off his own suit jacket and draped it over Rong Yi’s shoulders.

The pure black suit carried Xiao Yin’s body heat and felt particularly warm.

This wasn’t the first time Xiao Yin had given him his jacket. He did it with ease, and after adjusting it, he once again hooked his hand with Rong Yi’s.

The venue was very bright, and the stage lights seemed to bring a scorching temperature. Along with the laughter and cheers of the audience, it felt like the atmosphere was boiling.

Rong Yi spoke softly, “Do you know… that everyone is watching us?”

Xiao Yin gently tightened his grip.

He pulled Rong Yi closer to him and replied, “I know.”

“Even if you know, you should still give your wife a jacket,” Xiao Yin said with a smile.
