FOG [e-sports]

Chapter 24

The painkiller gradually took effect and Yu Sui felt a little bit better. He chased away the two to return back to the base. Chen Huo and Puppy discussed it. Chen Huo would return to the base to sleep first, and Puppy would stay with him.

Yu Sui had no choice. “What are you doing here? I’m just going to sleep. Tomorrow morning, you can just ask the manager to find someone to come over.”

Puppy lay down on the caregiver’s bed and said calmly. “Did you not listen to what the nurse said just now? With this kind of large area soft tissue contusion you need ... need ... what do you need?”

Yu Sui bit the pillow from pain. “Need to rest and avoid excessive movement.”

“Right. No excessive movements.” Puppy crossed his hands over his stomach. He said, calm and dispassionately, “Don’t be shy if you need to go wee-wee in a while. Tell Big Brother Puppy and Big Brother Puppy will get the chamber pot and even whistle for you.”

Yu Sui gritted his teeth, “Thank you but no.”

Puppy sighed. He put on his headphones and listened to the comedy show, ignoring Yu Sui.

At the FS base, Chen Huo quietly opened the main gate, entered the door and went to head upstairs. In the dark, there was a vague silhouette of something on the sofa. Chen Huo frowned, bent forward and stepped forward a few steps. When he reached the sofa, that indistinct immediately said, “How’s the captain?”

Chen Huo was almost scared to death.

“Would it kill you turn on a lamp?” Chen Su was so angry, he wanted to hit someone. “Who goes around staying up this late and pretending to be a freakin’ ghost?”

This was the first time that Shi Luo was shouted at by Chen Huo that he didn’t fight back. He was silent for a moment and asked again, “How is the captain?”

When Chen Huo heard Shi Luo’s thick nasally voice, he couldn’t help but smile, “Hey, are you crying? You are, aren’t you? Haha ... For real? Turn on the lights and let me see ...”

In the dark, Shi Luo said indignantly, “No! I’m asking you something!”

“What’s with your attitude?” Chen Huo said resentfully, “Wasn’t it you who caused all this trouble today? What are you still acting high and mighty for?”

Shi Luo stopped talking once again.

“Yu Sui... I don’t know how he’s doing right now either.” Chen Huo lied between his teeth, “The doctor didn’t give a definite answer.”

Shi Luo’s heart tightened, “What does it mean if he didn’t give a definite answer?!”

Chen Huo casually made stuff up, “Meaning ...”

“Oh, I remember.” Chen Huo said seriously, “The doctor said so, if Yu Sui can make it until next spring, then there is still hope for his injury. You could say by then that he’s already overcome it.”

Shi Luo: “...”

Chen Huo said ambiguously, “Are you happy now? Yu Sui won’t be able to play in the meantime. You have succeeded in becoming our FS team’s empress. Bet you’re secretly happy.”

Chen Huo then turned to head up the stairs. When he passed the sofa, he tripped over the carpet and almost fell. Chen Hu turned on the light, cursing under his breath. On the sofa, Shi Luo tried to avoid the glare from the lamp. Chen Huo turned to look and froze.

Shi Luo was crouched in a corner of the sofa, his eyes and nose were completely red. When Chen Huo turned on the light, Shi Luo immediately turned his head around, turning his back to Chen Huo and facing the wall.

Chen Huo sighed, who could stand this?

Chen Huo, a through and through straight man, couldn’t help it anymore. He walked back helplessly, sitting on the sofa opposite Shi Luo. Frowning, he said, “Fine. No need to hide. I didn’t say anything that bad to you. Let’s have a chat. “

Shi Luo said hoarsely, “I’m not talking with you.”

“OK, I’m gonna tell you the truth.” Chen Huo honestly said, “None of his bones were hurt. Just a lot of soft tissue contusion. In fact, it would have been fine if even if he didn’t get admitted to the hospital. There are no major problems. He should be discharged tomorrow or the day after. Fortunately, we got to the hospital in a time. If we’d gone a day or two later, his injuries would have gotten a lot worse. ”

Shi Luo turned his head and asked distrustfully, “Really?”

“Really. Would I have been able to come back here to sleep if there was anything the matter?” Chen Huo picked his ears, “He’s in a lot of pain, alright. His entire back is black and blue. Scary stuff.”

Shi Luo hesitated and asked in a low voice, “Can I go to see him?”

“What’s the use of going at this hour? He must be asleep already.” Chen Huo was also dead on his feet. He lay back against the backrest of the sofa, “We’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

Shi Luo lowered his head and said after a long while, “Thanks.”

Chen Huo raised his eyes and said uncertainly, “What ... did you just say to me?”

Shi Luo paused and said again, “Thank you.”

Chen Huo wished he could have recorded it! Shi Luo actually thanked him!

“That’s something you don’t hear every day. You actually said thank you to me...”

Chen Huo stopped himself from smiling. He looked at Shi Luo’s thoroughly red eyes and asked in a low tone of voice, “Do you regret it?”

Shi Luo bowed his head and said nothing.

He regretted it. Of course, he regretted it. He already regretted it so much, he could die.

Chen Huo looked at Shi Luo’s expression and said quietly, “I hope you’re not regretting that you didn’t fight well enough today and Shi Luo got injured.”

Chen Huo had hit the nail on the head and Shi Luo averted his eyes, looking elsewhere.

“Injuries are the least of the problems you could have gotten from today’s incident.” Chen Huo dropped his joking tone of voice. “If today’s incident had gotten out, or if it had happened backstage after a match, in front of everyone, do you know what would have happened?”

Shi Luo looked at Chen Huo.

“The most lenient punishment would have been ... You and Violent Shu would have been banned from playing for an entire season and then both of you would be expelled from your team.” Chen Huo calmly said, “In serious cases, you two would have been banned for life.”

For the first time, a look of panic flashed through Shi Luo’s eyes.

He cannot afford to be suspended.

“Think the punishment’s too strict?”

“A lot of people ...” Chen Huo said lazily, “look down on our industry. They think we’re a bunch of uneducated, ignorant teenagers who do nothing but swear all the time. The only thing we know how to do is play games. We’re not doing honest work. We’re a bunch of dropouts who have gambled away our future prospects...”

“But is that really how things are?” Chen Huo looked at Shi Luo, “I’ll ask you.”

“How many professions are there where when you utter a single swear word, you get deducted 10,000 yuan?”

“And how many industries are there where you’d be dismissed and banned from the entire industry for getting in a fight in private?”

“They think everyone’s too young. They think we’re impulsive and that we all too readily ignore the consequences. The league management is becoming more and more demanding and they’re trying to regulate our behavior ... They also want to reverse the public’s impression of us, although, up to now, there are still so many people who look down on us.” Chen Huo got up. He looked at Shi Luo and said, “But will there be a day when they’ll acknowledge us?”

Saying so, Chen Huo felt his teeth sour and goosebumps rise all over. “F*ck, next time, I’ll leave discussion of this kind of ideological and moral lessons to Old Qiao. I can’t stand this.”

Shi Luo bowed his head in embarrassment and rubbed his nose.

“Looks like Yu Sui also thinks it’s too unreasonable. He didn’t feel like talking about these things. And these things simply doesn’t need to be said. After playing for a year, you’ll slowly pick these things naturally. Who could have guessed you’d hit a high-tension wire as soon as you stepped into the industry?” Chen Huo pursed his lips. “Is it just because you have a bad temper? You think I don’t have a bad temper? When I first started playing professionally, I made a major mistake in the match that cost us the game. When I left the stadium, a fan poured his unfinished milk tea over my head. My head was covered in the stuff. My lungs were about to explode. The man was less than two meters away from me. I wanted to fight back and I absolutely could, but could I really? ”

“If I laid hands on him, what would happen to me? What would happen to the team?” Chen Huo raised an eyebrow. “Do you understand?”

Shi Luo honestly gave an “en”.

“As long as you understand. Anyway, this matter was more scary than dangerous. Yu Sui has already smoothed out matters this time. Even if the league finds out, with no evidence, they’ll just ignore it.”

Shi Luo nodded and whispered, “Then ... Can I send a WeChat to the captain?”

“Why not?” Chen Huo shrugged. “But I’m sure you won’t get any reply back now. He’s asleep by now. You can just message him tomorrow.”

Shi Luo couldn’t help but ask, “Will he ... ignore me now?”

Chen Huo laughed, “You think he’d go that far? At most, he’ll probably scold you a bit. So, just listen honestly and then apologize, alright? He has never very good at lecturing people, and he’s never one to turn over old accounts. It’ll be fine.”

Chen Huo looked at Shi Luo and smiled, “Just use that little dog hyper energy of yours into your apology. Yu Sui has never been as soft on me as he is on you.”

Shi Luo bowed his head. It was only now that he felt a bit relieved.

Chen Huo looked at Shi Luo. He was actually worried about another thing.

If word doesn’t reach the officials, then the league won’t care. But what about the boss? Will he be able to stand this?

Chen Huo’s prediction had been spot on. Ji Yanhan couldn’t stand it.

Early the next day, Ji Yanhan went to the hospital to take a look at Yu Sui’s injury. After confirming that there were no problems, he sat down and rubbed his forehead. “Good. At least, this issue didn’t blow up. I recommend he be transferred to another team.”

Yu Sui pretended not to hear. He looked at Ji Yanhan and noticed his bloodshot eyes. He asked, “Did you not sleep at all last night? What’s wrong?”

“There’s a problem in Minmin’s father’s company. It’s okay now.” Ji Yanhan said unhappily, “Don’t try to change the subject. I’m trying to have a serious discussion here. Hurry up and send this young man away. He’s too dangerous. He’s just entered the team and look at what he’s already gotten into. What more later?”

Yu Sui said to Puppy, “Big Brother Puppy, can you buy me some congee. Remember to bring a salted duck egg.”

Puppy understood that the two were going to quarrel. He sensibly left as to avoid being cannon fodder.

Yu Sui said, “Mine.”

“Right now, he’s no different from an industry outsider. There’s a lot he doesn’t know about yet.” Yu Sui assured. “I’ll tell him all about these later.”

“He’s already played in a match. How can he be considered an outsider?” Ji Yanhan laughed in spite himself, “Don’t joke! I told you that I don’t have much time to waste here. I’m going to leave soon so you better give me a decision as to which team we’ll be sending him now. I will have someone talk to them today. How about Miracle? ”

Ji Yanhan tried his best to discuss it with Yu Sui. “Send him to Team Miracle. That team’s not bad and they have a spot for a medic. If he goes there, he can be a starter. His situation there will be a lot better than here with us. He can make the best use of his abilities.”

Yu Sui couldn’t help laughing. “Team Miracle’s got no chance in hell at this year’s world championship. How is that better? And they’ve cultivated a team full of bullies. Who could stand that?”

Ji Yanhan said again, “Then to Bison. It just so happened their medic has been suspended.”

“What a great arrangement!” Yu Sui smiled from anger. “Later, when they talk about it, Shi Luo can boast that he really fought for and won this spot on Bison’s starting line-up with his own hands. Awesome!”

Ji Yanhan said impatiently, “Then where should he go?”

“I admit, I did consider letting him sign with other teams before, but I only considered NSN. But I was hesitant even about NSN at the time.” Yu Sui didn’t even think about it. “Not to mention other teams, it’s simply impossible.”

“We cannot give him to NSN!” Ji Yanhan simply came right out with it. “The only thing they’re missing now is a medic! If we hand over a medic over to them, NSN will immediately be in a position to challenge us. I can never agree.”

“Then there’s no need to discuss this matter. I don’t want to quarrel with you.” Yu Sui said coldly, “And I simply can’t sell him.”

Ji Yanhan was so angry his complexion was starting to change. Yu Sui said, “You’ve already seen what kind of temper he has. If no one’s there to look out for him, what if something happens in the future and he gets banned for life?”

Ji Yanhan burst out, “Whether he lives or dies, what’s it to you? I knew that at first, you were helping to look after him for his cousin, but haven’t you done enough?!”

“You’ve brought him out of that internet cafe, stopped him from being some wild live broadcaster. You had him register as a professional player and spent so much effort to get him to take the college entrance examinations. And now you’ve gotten yourself admitted to the hospital for him!!!” Ji Yanhan regretted it so much; unthinkingly helping him that time. “It’s okay now, right? Isn’t it enough? Will this do, Whisper? What else do you want? Are you waiting to be selected for this year’s CCTV Touching China?! When will this end? ”

Yu Sui was also completely irritated by now. “It will never end! I’m willingly taking care of him, so what?”

Ji Yanhan was going out of his mind from anger. “Are you sick! Do you have to offer your heart and soul to him like this? Are you ...”

“Yes! You’re right.” Yu Sui said loudly, “I’m interested in him! I like him! Didn’t you see it long ago? What are you still asking for?”
