E-Sports Boss Wants To Post Messages With New Players Every Day Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Lu Donglou saw the grim expression on his face, sighed, and softened his tone. “Look at the comments below.”

Xu Ziyan closed his eyes, calmed himself, and tapped on the comment section beneath the photo.

Since the faces of both individuals in the photo were clearly visible, there was no room to deny their identities. A crowd of onlookers, unaware of the full story, were cheerfully teasing them, wishing him and Xie Wei a happy and long-lasting relationship.

Some of Xie Wei’s fans were still trying to clarify the situation for him, while others were already embroiled in heated arguments with people. There were also some girlfriend fans who couldn’t accept the “truth” presented in the photo, finding it hard to believe that Xie Wei, who they always saw as a distant, high-status figure, would be with an Omega. They cried out that they would switch from fans to haters.

Although Xu Ziyan had accumulated a decent number of fans during this time, their fighting power was insufficient in this chaotic group battle.

Therefore, besides Xie Wei’s fans, the most prominent group in the comments section turned out to be Qu Qingyue’s fans.

This Ice guy seemed suspicious before. Who remembers how suddenly the original Medic for TWG’s second team left? They retired without any warning, and then Ice replaced them. Strictly speaking, this doesn’t comply with the team’s rules.

TWG always fielded a Sniper and an Assault Player in the Rookie Cup. Only this year did they include a Medic. This special treatment… well, I won’t say anything more.

Isn’t this Omega the one who was competing with C-Bao for the A-Team Medic slot a while ago? Could it be that since he couldn’t compete with C-Bao in terms of skill, he resorted to underhanded tactics?

Friendly reminder: This person confessed to Shining at the Rookie Cup awards ceremony, saying he was his devoted fan.

Another friendly reminder: Yesterday was New Year’s Day and the first snow in A City. Everyone knows what his intentions are.

I’m truly disgusted. As an Omega, he doesn’t cherish himself and resorts to such crooked ways. Does he really think that his lack of skill won’t be exposed after getting into the A-Team through the back door?

Uh… Does a major team like TWG allow this kind of thing?

Heh, I’m completely disappointed in Shining.

Fan-to-hater +1

Xu Ziyan’s face grew paler the more he read.

He hadn’t felt much emotion when he was repeatedly criticized by people online before.

But now that Xie Wei was implicated, Xu Ziyan could no longer remain calm.

It was his fault…

Lu Donglou sighed and patted his shoulder. “We’ll talk about Ranked Match training later. Come to the Coach’s office first.”

Xu Ziyan nodded silently, stood up, and followed Lu Donglou listlessly.

At the same time, Xie Wei was also called to the Coach’s office.

He knew about this matter earlier than Xu Ziyan, so he was mentally prepared. When he turned his head and saw the young man being led in by Lu Donglou, he gave a wry smile. The atmosphere between them was so awkward yesterday, and now they were meeting again so soon because of ambiguous photos. The timing was truly terrible.

Xu Ziyan clearly thought the same, keeping his head down, somewhat afraid to look at him.

Yu Guangzhou and Lu Donglou, the two Coaches, were actually “aware” of the situation.

However, the impact of this exposure was too great, directly affecting the entire TWG team’s image.

Yu Guangzhou glanced at his phone and rubbed his temples in frustration. “This matter… sigh, actually, it’s my fault. I should have warned you about this earlier. Ice aside, Xie Wei, as the Captain, didn’t you know something like this could happen?”

Xie Wei didn’t try to evade responsibility and admitted it straightforwardly. “Yes, this is my mistake.”

Lu Donglou sighed. “No, Ice is also at fault. I told him before to be careful, but this still happened.”

Yu Guangzhou said, “Ice is still young and a newcomer; it’s normal for him not to understand these things. But Xie Wei has been in this industry for so many years and still makes this kind of mistake. It’s truly… sigh!”

The two Coaches went back and forth, sounding like two parents, taking turns accepting blame and sighing deeply. The scene looked very strange, giving Xu Ziyan a sense of déjà vu from when his parents were called in to school.

While listening to the lecture, he felt uneasy, believing that the current situation was all his fault. Just as he was regretting it, he suddenly felt a light touch on his back.

Xu Ziyan snapped out of it and realized that Xie Wei had walked over to his side at some point.

Xie Wei whispered, “Don’t overthink it. This isn’t your fault.”

Xu Ziyan hadn’t expected him to comfort him, and his heart warmed. “Captain…”

“Hey, hey,” Yu Guangzhou noticed their small movement. “We’re talking about you two, and you’re already getting cozy again?”

Xu Ziyan knew the two Coaches had misunderstood his relationship with Xie Wei, and recalling the scene in the car yesterday, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

Xie Wei, however, didn’t even twitch an eyebrow. “Can’t the team post on Weibo to clarify this matter?”

Yu Guangzhou gave a wry smile. “It’s not that simple. Once your relationship is viewed through colored glasses, it’s very difficult to take them off.”

Xie Wei pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, “Coach Yu, have you considered what I talked to you about the other day?”

Yu Guangzhou was startled, his gaze involuntarily turning toward Xu Ziyan. “You mean…”

Xie Wei said, “Since public opinion has reached this point, verbal clarification is useless. We can only prove it through action.”

Yu Guangzhou was silent for a moment, then sighed. “That might be for the best.”

Lu Donglou, standing nearby, frowned and anxiously said, “Old Yu, this is not a joke.”

Yu Guangzhou said helplessly, “But this is the only way.”

Xu Ziyan watched them exchange cryptic messages, completely confused about what they were discussing.

Yu Guangzhou looked at him, his expression serious. “Ice, here’s the thing: we signed a new Medic from the Rookie Cup a few days ago, and I plan to assign him to the second team.”

Xu Ziyan’s heart sank upon hearing this.

Second team?

What about him?

No way, was he going to be kicked out to protect the team’s image because of the impact this incident had on TWG?

He opened his mouth but couldn’t speak.

To his surprise, he then heard Yu Guangzhou continue, “So, are you interested in joining the A-Team as a Substitute Slot player?”

Xu Ziyan, still immersed in the tragic scenario of being abandoned by the team, was stunned. “The A-Team?”

“Yes,” Yu Guangzhou nodded. “Although it’s a Substitute Slot, we will try our best to give you opportunities to play. The internet is saying you didn’t get into the team based on skill, right? You can prove them wrong with your skill directly on the field.”

Xu Ziyan felt as if he had been hit by a windfall, looking at Yu Guangzhou in disbelief, then abruptly turning to look at Xie Wei.

Xie Wei saw his cheeks were flushed with excitement and couldn’t help but laugh. “Why are you looking at me? Just say yes if you want to.”

“Of course I want to!” Xu Ziyan didn’t hesitate for a moment and quickly said, “I will definitely work hard!”

Yu Guangzhou and Lu Donglou exchanged glances and smiled. Lu Donglou said, “Ice, I must warn you, once you join the A-Team, online public opinion will definitely intensify. You need to be mentally prepared.”

Xu Ziyan nodded.

Even after walking out of the Coach’s office, he still felt a sense of unreality.

Xie Wei was kept inside for further lecturing. Xu Ziyan didn’t rush off but waited by the door for a while.

When Xu Ziyan was present, things were relatively mild, but as soon as he left, Yu Guangzhou immediately became less polite and gave Xie Wei a thorough scolding.

Yu Guangzhou took a sip of water and said angrily, “Putting the team aside, as an Alpha, don’t you know how to protect your Omega?”

Xie Wei was momentarily stunned. Out of a sentiment he couldn’t quite explain, he didn’t refute it.

After enduring the scolding, he walked out of the Coach’s office and immediately saw the young man still standing by the door.

Xie Wei asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xu Ziyan said, “I’m sorry, Captain. I shouldn’t have called you out yesterday.”

Xie Wei thought he was going to say something else and laughed when he heard this. “I told you, this isn’t your fault. If anyone is to blame, it’s me for not being careful enough.”

Xu Ziyan said, “But…”

“There are no buts.” Seeing the young man looking dejected, Xie Wei suddenly had a mischievous thought and smiled. “By the way, I saw comments online saying it was the first snow yesterday. Is that why you called me out?”

Xu Ziyan hadn’t expected Xie Wei to bring this up. He gasped, his face instantly turning red up to his ears. He stammered for a long time, lowering his head. “I’m sorry.”

Xie Wei sighed helplessly. “What are you apologizing to me for now?”

“I was too impulsive in the car yesterday. I… I can promise that I will never let personal feelings affect training and matches. Um, Captain,” Xu Ziyan scratched his hair. “Can we pretend that never happened?”

Xie Wei raised an eyebrow, feeling a strange displeasure in his heart.

He said, “You mean you want me to completely forget about the confession, and from now on, we’ll just have a Captain and team member relationship?”

A pang of sadness hit Xu Ziyan’s heart, and he nodded. That was his intention from the beginning, and now he was just getting back on track.

Judging by the situation yesterday, Xie Wei probably felt the same way. Pretending everything hadn’t happened should be the best outcome.

“No.”

Xu Ziyan, who had fully expected an affirmative answer, froze and looked at Xie Wei blankly.

The Alpha’s expression was calm, and his tone was serious. “Asking me to pretend nothing happened, to ignore you, to treat you indifferently—wouldn’t that be trampling on your feelings? Xu Ziyan, I can’t do that. Besides, do you really want me to do that?”

Xu Ziyan opened his mouth but found himself unable to answer.

Did he really want that?

…Of course not.

Having tasted Xie Wei’s meticulous gentleness and special treatment, Xu Ziyan could no longer return to the time when he was satisfied just by looking at him from afar.

He shook his head vigorously. “No.”

Xie Wei sighed softly. “And now the photos have spread. You don’t have a chance to pretend we’re strangers anymore. Go back to the second team today to pack your things, and report to the A-Team tomorrow. Send me a message or call me before you come, understood?”

Mentioning the A-Team, Xu Ziyan remembered something and said, “Captain, when we were eating yesterday, you said you wanted to talk to me about something. Was it about this…”

“Yes.” Xie Wei admitted readily. “I actually wanted to ask you yesterday if you wanted to transfer to the A-Team, but you seemed quite happy in the second team, and it’s not good for a newcomer to change teams so quickly, so I didn’t say anything. Who knew…”

Who knew that photos would be exposed the next day, leading to this mistake.

Xu Ziyan asked, “Why let me join the A-Team? Clear is already there.” He was self-aware; compared to Qu Qingyue, his skill was still lacking.

Xie Wei was silent for a moment before saying, “Clear is transferring.”
