Chapter 90
Chapter 90:
Since Yu Sui has decided to take care of Shi Luo’s family matters, he was going to handle it thoroughly. For the next few months, their schedule was only going to get busier and busier. Yu Sui was also a professional player with competitions. He couldn’t guarantee that he would be online at all times to handle all emergencies that could happen. After discussing it with Shi Luo and getting his consent, Yu Sui told Zhou Huo about the matter in the evening. He also took that opportunity to give Zhou Huo his lawyer’s contact information.
Zhou Huo was very cautious. After getting an understanding of the matter, he said uncertainly, “This isn’t a big thing but it isn’t a small matter either. Evil is now an adult and his father has no right to interfere. If what we’re afraid of his father staking everything and making trouble that could affect our club’s reputation... ...Well, I hope it doesn’t come to that. Isn’t Evil’s family a prestigious one? They probably wouldn’t want to appear on the news.”
Yu Sui didn’t want to comment on Shi Luo’s father. He only said, “It’s hard to say. They’re dividing the family property. It’s possible that he’s worried about it. It’s best if he doesn’t continue to make trouble. If he does, best to respond immediately. It’s also best if we don’t expose much about Shi Luo’s family matters; his parents’ divorce or something... Try to suppress them all.”
“Understood.” Zhou Huo nodded. “Our club’s players have done a good job of keeping everything secret. Basically no one knows the situation in your families. But there is still a problem. Will his father make a fuss about Evil signing when he was a minor and use that as an issue to go to court? With a quick search, he’d be able to find out about you selling Shi Luo. The most annoying thing is when guardians of underage players make trouble. Back then, was Shi Luo already 16?”
“Yes, he was already 16. The contract is all legal. There’s no problem.” Yu Sui sneered, “And I don’t care if he really makes an issue out of this. Back then, Shi Luo transferred from FS.”
After a dazed moment, Zhou Huo smiled. “Okay, if he makes trouble in this direction, he should go to Ji Yanhan to file a lawsuit. It has nothing to do with us.”
“It would be best if this matter just dies here. He...” Yu Sui’s voice was lighter. He paused and said, “He isn’t that unfeeling. He appears indifferent on the surface but every time his parents do something, it makes him feel unhappy. It’s better not to create any rhythm.”
Zhou Huo nodded. “Of course.”
Yu Sui pulled over his team uniform jacket and stood to head towards the training room when Zhou Huo suddenly remembered something. He said, feeling a headache coming on. “Speaking of creating a rhythm. Do you know that your little Shi Shen has been secretly creating an issue?”
Yu Sui was startled. “What happened?”
Zhou Huo took out his mobile phone clicked on it a couple of times and showed it to Yu Sui. “Don’t tell me this isn’t him.”
Yu Sui frowned and took the phone.
Yu Sui: “...”
Zhou Huo hesitated to say, “Really, if I wasn’t afraid that after I expose him, Shi Luo would fly into a rage from embarrassment and hit me, I would have reminded him to show some restraint. This really is a bit out of line.”
Yu Sui couldn’t help his lips from ticking up.
Zhou Huo showed him Shi Luo’s Weibo side account.
Shi Luo could bear it for a while but he couldn’t bear it for a lifetime. And today he finally didn’t hold back and made a post using his side account on Weibo.
And he didn’t just make one post; he made three.
After the two ate the takeaway at noon, Shi Luo sat on the small sofa next to the bed and pretended to play a mobile game. In fact, he had actually opened Weibo and seeing that Yu Sui was busy chatting with someone on WeChat and wasn’t paying him any attention at all, Shi Luo quickly logged onto his side account, posted and then quickly logged out. He kept his expression cool, pretending that nothing happened.
Even until now, Shi Luo might not know how his Weibo side account had been discovered by Free’s fans from the vast see of accounts. When he posted on Weibo, he still arrogantly mentioned Yu Sui’s oh-so famous name.
[Without discussing it with Shi Luo, I told my dad about the two of us to deliberately anger my dad. What I shouldn’t have said...made my dad so angry he went apoplectic. Yu Sui wasn’t angry. He wasn’t angry at all. He hardly ever gets angry with me. 】
[No, Yu Sui did get angry with me. He got angry at me for not telling him when I was sick. He was afraid I’d feel cold last night that he untied his clothes and hugged me to sleep. 】
[My cold is already gone. I like him so much. I don’t ever want to break up with Yu Sui all my life. 】
Yu Sui raised his head and looked through the wide open door of the training room. He looked pityingly at Shi Shen’s back, absorbed with playing the game in the distance. He signed incessantly.
Yu Sui estimated that by the time Shi Shen was two years older, he would look back at what he posted on Weibo when he was a teenager and feel that each post was a blood-dripping black history. He would collapse and he would wish that he could blow up Weibo’s main software server.
Yu Sui was very selfish and he had no intention of bringing this to Shi Luo’s attention. Looking through this kind of boyfriend diary made him happy and he read it with relish. Worried that Shi Luo really would delete it after going through his second phase, Yu Sui returned the phone to Zhou Huo and opened Shi Luo’s side account Weibo on his mobile phone. He carefully took a screenshot of the posts and saved it in a special album and also selected to have it backed-up.
Zhou Huo having suffered unspeakable bitterness, said, “Click to read the comments. Take a look for yourself...”
Yu Sui held back a smile and did as he said.
[Please, please. Go see a doctor! ! ! I’m begging you ! ! ! ]
[You’ve gone absolutely insane lately. ]
[Yu Shen embraced you to sleep? ? ? I know the location of the Free base very well. People with no business being there can’t get in there at all. How did you sneak in? Did you ride on a rocket and jump in? ]
[I’m going crazy. Can’t anyone control him? ! ! ! ]
[? ? ? , I don’t get it? You told your dad that you’re in a relationship with Yu Shen and then your dad still disagreed? He wasn’t satisfied with Yu Sui? Leaving aside the fact that these are all fabricated lies, your father doesn’t agree to you having a relationship with Yu Shen? Be honest, from which royal family did you come from? ]
[This is no longer simple mythomania. ]
[You spend your days in my husband’s base. You sleep with my husband every night. My husband, who is worth hundreds of millions of yuan, treats you so considerately and yet your love didn’t receive your father’s blessing...I’m beginning to doubt that you’re not even 12 yet. This kind of Mary Sue plot doesn’t exist. Wake up. ]
[Don’t go back. Report with one click. ]
[Fine. I won’t hide it any longer. I’ve actually been together with Shi Zai since a long time ago. I’m posting this comment while sitting on husband Shi Zai’s lap. Shi Zai’s smoking posture is really handsome, but since he’s afraid it might cause me to cough, my husband hasn’t smoked all night! Shi Zai just told me to wait for him for another three years and when he reaches the legal age, he will go with me to get a marriage certificate! How can he be so good? ]
[@Free e-sports club, are you dead? How many times has it been? ! Are the club officials blind or dead? Can’t you handle serious business? Can you protect our four players or not? Right now, I’m very worried that this lunatic will actually break into your base and hurt our four gege’s. ]
Zhou Huo raised his head and glanced at Shi Luo in the training room. He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth. “I’ve long known this was Shi Luo’s side account. Ever since the fans first came to me with this concern! Can this f*cking be any more obvious?! But the fans don’t know this is their Shi Zai Laogong!!!”
“The fans have asked me to get his account banned. They’re asking me to come forward to clarify and their accusing me of playing dead and pretending not to see. They call me useless and say that I’m trash...The problem is, do I even dare? Do I have the guts to report him?!” Zhou Huo has had enough being between two fires. “More and more people are finding out about Shi Luo’s side account! They all think this is a fan with mental problem and worry that this person will kidnap you! I...”
“Shhh...” While taking a screenshot of Shi Luo’s new posts, Yu Sui frowned and said, “Keep your voice down.”
Feeling aggrieved, Zhou Huo controlled his voice. “The fans accuse me of not protecting the players. What can I do but to turn a blind eye to it and play dead? But I’ve no idea why Shi Luo’s suddenly so happy today and he suddenly made three posts in a row. Three! I don’t dare to tell Shi Luo directly. Even if he doesn’t directly post your name...”
“How can he usually be so cool and ruthless and then suddenly so ___ on his side account?” Zhou Huo couldn’t understand. “Isn’t he the one who doesn’t want to make it public? I thought he didn’t want any PDA at all.”
Yu Sui carefully took the screenshots and saved them. Looking at the pictures, he said in a low voice, “He doesn’t want to make it public because he doesn’t want it to affect the team. He has just fallen in love, isn’t it normal to want to show off and to make a record of it... Weren’t you young before too?”
Zhou Huo was at a loss.
“No one is allowed to report him. You just continue playing dead.” Yu Sui raised his eyes and gave Zhou Huo a warning look. “Don’t him any hints. He’s really thin-skinned when it comes to things like this.”
“Fine, fine, fine.” Zhou Huo said, aggrieved. “I won’t say anything.”
After dismissing Zhou Huo, Yu Sui returned to the training room. He queued up for a solo game and then called to mind Shi Luo’s side account.
Yu Sui raised his eyes and looked at Shi Luo, who had a cold look on his face as he fired nonstop in the game. Yu Sui smiled.
His little boyfriend was so cute.
Yu Sui canceled his solo game queue and clicked on the friend information in the game interface. He checked Shi Luo’s current situation. He was in a single row game. He’s been playing the game for twenty minutes. He should be almost finished.
Yu Sui chose not to queue up for a game. He was waiting for Shi Luo to finish his game so that they could double row.
After waiting for less than ten minutes, Shi Luo’s last game was over. Yu Sui sent Shi Luo an invitation to team up and was immediately refused.
Yu Sui took off his headphones, turned his head and asked, “Did you make a double row appointment with someone?”
Shi Luo hadn’t spoken yet when Chen Huo cut in lazily, “Shi Luo will be in a double row with me for a while. Do you want to snatch someone? You’re welcome to do so. Actually, neither of us is actually willing to do this. You can try and persuade Old Qiao. He’s having us work on our teamwork for the playoffs.”
Since it was training arranged by the coach, he couldn’t just grab Shi Luo from there. He was fine with waiting for them to finish. Yu Sui asked, “Until what time are you supposed to team up? I’ll play single row first.”
“Two o’clock in the morning.” Chen Huo said coldly, “Don’t wait. Mine and Shi Shen’s schedules are already full today. If you want to team up, please say so earlier next time.”
Shi Luo looked at Yu Sui helplessly. “Old Qiao had arranged it just now.”
Yu Sui held his headphone in one hand and smiled. “Did Old Qiao do that deliberately? He...”
Puppy, who was in a single row game, coughed and interrupted Yu Sui. “Just a reminder to a certain someone who had just entered the training room. I’m doing a live broadcast.”
Yu Sui knew that Puppy was afraid that he would say something that would allow the fans to make guesses so he nodded and stopped what he was going to say. He went to queue up for a game.
Chen Huo couldn’t help complaining. “You’re doing a live broadcast again? Tell your fans in advance! Shi Luo and I aren’t quarreling and we’re not having a falling out. Insulting you teammates for being absolute idiots and telling them to go die, isn’t quarreling, alright? They’re wasting their time spending all day on the forums discussing whether or not our team’s strikers are fighting.”
“Relax, although I don’t know why, but the topic of today’s chat obviously has nothing to do with you. I don’t quite understand what they’re talking about.” Puppy was waiting in queue. He squinted and read the live chat. Scratching his head, he said, “I don’t really understand. They’re all asking me to remind Whisper to pay attention to safety...Is there anything unsafe that he has to worry about?”
Yu Sui and Shi Luo both had on noise-cancelling headphones and didn’t hear a word.
Puppy set about studying the live chat. Frowning, he started reading the chats word by word, “Originally, I had hoped that all four of you would stay single, but now I have lowered my requirements. It’s good enough if you just have a normal lover and not get eyes by weirdoes.”
Puppy was at a loss. “What am I missing here? What and what is this? Who’s a weirdo?”
The live chat was quiet for a few seconds, and then started sending message after message once again.
[It’s nothing. Just reminding you all to be safe. ]
[It’s nothing. Please remind our Shi Zai too. He’s the youngest and most likely to be targeted by malicious people. ]
[It’s okay. It’s better that you not know. ]
[Shhhhh...the playoffs are just around the corner. Don’t scare the players. Let’s handle quietly. ]
[Nothing! It’s nothing! ]
[May I ask a question? I gave a gift! Can I ask? ]
Puppy saw the gift and nodded, completely bewildered. “Go ahead and ask.”
[I just want to know, has someone started living at Free’s base recently? ]
Puppy, who was completely clueless about the situation, didn’t even think about it. He killed the rumors created by Shi Luo’s side account with a single sentence. “How’s that possible?! Stop pulling my leg. Our base has only had these same people for the past few months; no more, no less.”
[I’m so relieved. ]
[I’m so relieved but pay attention to safety. ]
[I’m so relieved. Now, this has killed all those lies. ]
[I’m so relieved. I’d just like to remind you all to please protect our Shi Zai well. Truth be told, he has that aura that draws in all the perverts.]
[I’m so relieved. Please also remind Yu Shen to be safe. Although I think the average bad guy wouldn’t be able to touch him, he really is at high risk right now. ]
[Don’t worry, everyone will continue to report that account. We’re going to strive to get that number blocked tonight. ]
