Chapter 234: Fearless Being Favored

Seeing that the glass bottle was about to hit his hand, Gao Yanchen rushed over and blocked Feng Yan’s with his own hand.

Xue Xi exclaimed, “Little Flame!”

Qin Shuang was also stunned. She covered her eyes and screamed, “Ah!”

Xiang Huai narrowed his eyes. Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly stopped. This was because he realized that Feng Yan’s bottle had stopped only one centimeter away from Gao Yanchen’s hand.

Gao Yanchen panted in alarm and shock.

He looked up in disbelief, only to see Feng Yan still looking at him warmly. “Xiao Chen, I knew it. You won’t bear to.”

Gao Yanchen was so angry that he almost broke down.

He snatched the glass bottle with one hand and smashed it on the ground. His other hand grabbed Feng Yan’s collar again. “You…”

Tears welled up in his eyes as he stared at him. Finally, he said, “Brother, why do you always bully me?”

Gao Yanchen was like a powderkeg, but Feng Yan was warm and steady. He reached up and rubbed Gao Yanchen’s head. “Promise me not to enter the eSports scene.”

Gao Yanchen clenched his jaw. All his strength seemed to have been removed in an instant. He sneered. “Mhm.”

Feng Yan turned around and walked out.

After he left the ward, Gao Yanchen sat on the bed again. He lowered his head and did not speak. His entire body was filled with loneliness.

He tried so hard to get close to him, but in the end, he still pushed him away ruthlessly.

Qin Shuang, who was standing not far away, had a tense expression. She was also shocked by the sudden change in their aura. She blinked and suddenly said, “This match is actually just a competition of who cares more about who.

“It’s obvious that Brother Chen lost.

“Brother Chen clearly cares about Feng Yan, and Feng Yan is a jerk! Bastard!”

The more Qin Shuang scolded Feng Yan, the angrier she became. “To think that I even secretly shipped him with Brother Chen! I didn’t expect him to be such a bully! Too much!”

Qin Shuang scolded as her eyes turned red. “This is too much!”

Gao Yanchen suddenly looked up at Xue Xi and said, “Sister Xi, come to XH and fight alongside me!”

Xue Xi paused.

Gao Yanchen lowered his eyes. “I’ve thought it through. It’s fine for me to be a part of the team’s operations, right? I just want to accompany him to win another championship.”

He recalled the joke he had made with Feng Yan back then.

The two of them were talking through voice chat in the game.

Gao Yanchen said arrogantly, “Brother, if we form a team, we will definitely be the champions!”

Feng Yan also smiled warmly. “That’s right. Moreover, we need three consecutive championships and four consecutive championships!”

Gao Yanchen asked in confusion, “Why can’t it be five consecutive championships?”

Feng Yan laughed arrogantly. “I have to give others a way out, right? Moreover, after winning four consecutive championships, I’ll have to consider retiring. By then, I’ll be old.”

Gao Yanchen said, “Fine, then, four consecutive championships!”

Four consecutive championships…

Gao Yanchen had been waiting for him to come looking for him after he’d retired from the four consecutive championships, so he had been paying attention to the eSports scene. Feng Yan had worked hard for a year and finally clinched the championship in the second year. After that, it was his to lose. In the third year, he obtained a consecutive championship, and in the fourth year, he obtained three consecutive championships.

During this fifth year that they’d been separated, Feng Yan was going to get that fourth consecutive championship.

And this year, Feng Yan’s Weibo post had revealed his intention to retire.

Although that Weibo post was very obscure, Gao Yanchen knew Feng Yan too well.

Feng Yan was already tired of this industry. He wanted to leave…

However, at that moment, the members of the team got in a car accident.

The speculations on the internet were overwhelming. The eSports scene was this cruel. When you were first, there was no lack of support, but once you fell behind, those who mocked you would swarm over.

Feng Yan’s Weibo had been suspended for a month after the topmost post got filled with criticisms.

There were even some people who’d said that Feng Yan left the scene in a cheap way. The entire XH was proud and could not stand ridicule. That was why everyone went to the gathering and got into a car accident…

However, Gao Yanchen wanted him to leave the scene at the brightest moment in his life!

This was to be his last competition.

Taking the championship and announcing his retirement was the perfect ending for him! He must not run away dejectedly, nor be mocked for not being strong enough and bullied into resigning.

Gao Yanchen would not allow such a situation to happen.

Even if Feng Yan was so heartless to him, Feng Yan was still his brother whom he would always be proud of!

At this thought, Gao Yanchen looked at Xue Xi and slowly said, “Sister Xi, I need your help.”

His serious look made Xue Xi unable to reject him.

After a long silence, Xue Xi sighed. “Okay.”

She could reject Feng Yan, but she could not reject Gao Yanchen, especially at this moment.

Seeing her agree, Gao Yanchen nodded. “The Math Olympiad…”

Xue Xi replied, “No problem.”

At most, I’ll just be a little tired.

Gao Yanchen revealed his first smile ever since he came to the capital. “Sister Xi, thank you.”

Xue Xi replied, “You’re welcome.”

Right after he said this, Gao Yanchen turned his head awkwardly. “Although you’ve helped me a lot, I’ll still spar with you when I have the chance in the future. If I win, I’ll be your boss. You’ll have to dye your hair red.”

Xue Xi: “…”

Little Flame is too dumb!

…

The XH team’s marksman’s hand was totally wasted. The record of him going to see a doctor was posted online and instantly caused a huge uproar in the eSports scene.

Everyone left comments on the XH club’s Weibo, asking them to withdraw from the competition!

“According to the statistics of the recent four battles which the XH team all lost, the new shooters will not be able to bear any heavy responsibilities. They will not be able to withstand the pressure at all! Every time I see them in the competition, I feel my heart tighten. Every failure stings. How can the Demon King be reduced to such a state after being in charge of the battlefield for three years?”

“I’d rather they withdrew from the competition than let them continue playing and be beaten to a pulp.”

“In the finals, he would meet the CM team. This is his old rival, right? I suspect that the CM team is going to vent all their grievances over the past years.”

The CM team’s captain, Tao Wei, also posted on Weibo. “Not bringing the past into the competition is the greatest respect to the opponent.”

CM, Tao Wei Official: “Remember to wipe the trophy clean, lest we get a layer of dust when we get it. @XH Club.”

CM, Tao Wei Official: “Great Demon King, see you in the competition!”

At the same time, the XH club released a shocking piece of news:

XH eSports Club Official: “We welcome our new shooter to XH, Learn.”

The moment this Weibo post went up, the entire eSports scene was in an uproar.

“Why do I feel that this ID looks so familiar?”

“Is this the Little Missy who competed with the streamer, Wild King?”

“No way. A girl playing eSports? Is there really no one XH can find?!”

“XH must have gone bunkers, huh? They actually asked a girl to play eSports. Are they crazy?”
