E-Sports Boss Wants To Post Messages With New Players Every Day Chapter 32

Chapter 32

Xu Ziyan never imagined that it was the scent of his pheromones that had exposed him. His face flushed crimson, and he subconsciously covered the back of his neck.

He was somewhat aware of the smell of his own pheromones, but as one of an Omega’s most closely guarded secrets, the only people who knew were his family and Xie Wei.

Due to the Omega body’s self-protective mechanism, their pheromone scent was better concealed than an Alpha’s, and usually, no one would smell it.

The reason Xie Wei could smell it was because they had once shared a marking relationship.

Xie Wei probably didn’t know this, which was why he had stated it so casually.

Xu Ziyan stammered an apology on Line, but Xie Wei clearly didn’t genuinely care about the matter and simply replied with an emoji.

After dinner came the review meeting. Although it was only a scrim, Yu Guangzhou did not lower his standards. He scrutinized the recording almost frame by frame, pointing out flaws, and even Xie Wei was called out for several areas that could be improved.

When it was Xu Ziyan’s turn, Yu Guangzhou probably took into account that he had just joined the team and was slightly gentler, but he still said exactly what needed to be said: “In the small room at Point A, the enemy Sniper and Assault Player were preparing to cut you off. I know you’re confident in your skills, but remember, there are no second chances on the competitive stage. Don’t be overconfident in situations that can be avoided. Furthermore, the pressure on the Medic at the front line was significant. If the enemy Assault Player had been slightly more accurate in that wave, you would have definitely died, which would have ruined the entire offensive push.”

Xu Ziyan listened obediently, like a scolded elementary school student.

After finishing that round of criticism, Yu Guangzhou clicked play again and began discussing the issues with his movement in the next wave.

By the time the review ended, Xu Ziyan felt a little dizzy.

Shen Xiao hooked an arm around his neck from behind and laughed, “How does it feel to be in your first review meeting with the A-Team? Old Yu must have scolded you senseless.”

Xu Ziyan was caught off guard and stumbled forward from Shen Xiao’s sudden movement. He steadied himself and smiled, “It’s fine, it’s fine. I get scolded every day playing Medic, I’m used to it.”

Shen Xiao burst into laughter, “True, you often get chased all over the place by Assault Players and Snipers, not to mention having to save your own life while healing your idiot teammates. If your teammates die from taking too much damage, they still blame you for not healing enough. God, I really don’t understand why anyone loves playing Medic. If it were me, I’d be driven crazy.”

Xu Ziyan said, “Maybe it’s the feeling of watching the enemy hate me but still being unable to kill me.”

Shen Xiao said, “I strongly suspect you’re talking about me. When I saw you use the taser to control the enemy Sniper today, I remembered—you killed me like that in Ranked Match too, didn’t you?”

His expression and tone became very resentful, and Xu Ziyan inexplicably felt a hint of guilt.

“But it’s okay, I’m not that petty,” Shen Xiao said. “As long as you’re willing to Duo Queue with me and heal only me until I reach the top of the Assault Player rankings.”

Xu Ziyan replied, “Wouldn’t that mean Duo Queuing with you for life?”

Shen Xiao showed a sad expression, “Ice, sometimes teammates need a little trust. But forever sounds good, I’ll take that as you agreeing… Ouch!”

He suddenly cried out in pain mid-sentence and looked back, complaining pitifully, “Why did you hit me!”

Qu Qingyue held up her notebook and rolled her eyes, “Instead of pestering the newcomer here, you should hurry up and practice your skills. The way you are now, can you beat WOF’s Secret? Can you beat Bai Chen? Let go of him already.”

WOF’s Secret is currently the number one Assault Player on the rankings, with Bai Chen close behind. Their rankings are neck and neck.

Meanwhile, Shen Xiao, due to his tendency to rush and play recklessly, is stuck at a pitiful thirteenth place.

Shen Xiao obediently let go and said, “Sister Yueyue, your words are really hurtful.”

Qu Qingyue replied, “Little Brother Xiao, big sister is just telling the truth.”

They walked away talking, and Xu Ziyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was in the Second Team, knowing he was an Omega, the Alpha members would consciously maintain their distance from him. But Shen Xiao was truly an oddball, completely lacking any awareness of the Alpha-Omega distinction, and Xu Ziyan really didn’t know how to handle someone like that.

Fortunately, Qu Qingyue had come over to rescue him just now.

In the evening, the A-Team members engaged in self-training, which was exactly the same as the Second Team.

However, unlike the Second Team, the A-Team members preferred to return to their dorms for individual Ranked Match training.

Shen Xiao and Bai Chen left first. Xie Wei had been called out by Yu Guangzhou earlier and hadn’t returned yet. For a moment, only Xu Ziyan and Qu Qingyue remained in the training room.

He felt a bit awkward and was considering finding an excuse to slip out for a while when Qu Qingyue unexpectedly walked up to him.

She stared at Xu Ziyan for a moment, then sighed softly, “Shen Xiao doesn’t understand personal boundaries and likes to talk nonsense. He doesn’t get it, but you must be careful and keep your distance from him. It doesn’t matter if you have to be blunt, Shen Xiao won’t hold a grudge.”

Xu Ziyan was stunned, completely surprised that Qu Qingyue would show concern for him. He stammered, “O-okay, thank you.”

Qu Qingyue seemed about to say something more, but then heard footsteps in the hallway outside the door. She said nothing, nodded, and left immediately.

Xie Wei encountered the hastily departing Qu Qingyue on the way. Returning to the training room, he saw Xu Ziyan standing still with a blank expression and asked, somewhat confused, “What’s wrong?”

Xu Ziyan snapped back to reality, shook his head, and then remembered the day’s events. He quickly said, “I really didn’t mean to today.”

Xie Wei took a moment to realize he was referring to the incident in the reception room and chuckled, “I know.”

Xu Ziyan bit his lip and admitted honestly, “But it wasn’t entirely accidental. I saw the two of you go out, so…”

Only then did Xie Wei realize the crucial point of the matter and found it somewhat amusing, “I agreed because I thought she wanted to talk to me about the transfer.”

He and Qu Qingyue had been teammates for a long time, and he had always treated her as a teammate, later leaning toward a younger sister, taking care of her somewhat. Therefore, the confession today was completely unexpected.

In Xie Wei’s impression, Qu Qingyue had always been a cheerful, outgoing girl who loved to laugh. Although she constantly had boyfriends, she always handled things well. In their usual interactions, they often teased and insulted each other, but love?

Xie Wei hadn’t sensed it at all.

After Qu Qingyue confessed her feelings, he felt a certain degree of guilt, but his rejection was still very decisive, giving her no room for fantasy.

That was his style.

However, when Xu Ziyan had confessed to him, Xie Wei couldn’t handle it so cleanly. Instead, he had dragged his feet, which even he felt was inexcusable.

At this point, Xie Wei had to admit that Xu Ziyan was indeed special.

“Find some time soon and move into the A-Team dorms,” Xie Wei said. “The weather is getting cold lately. The A-Team dorms are closer to the training room, and the environment is better. You can do Ranked Matches in your own room, so you won’t have to sleep in the training room if it gets late.”

Xu Ziyan responded blankly. It wasn’t until Xie Wei left that he slowly realized something was wrong.

How did Xie Wei know that he slept in the training room?

He suddenly remembered the blanket that had appeared on him one day, he hadn’t known when. At the time, he had just thought it was some unknown kind person. Now that he thought about it, could that person have been Xie Wei?

Not long after that, he had gotten the chance to participate in the Rookie Cup.

So that was it.

Xie Wei had seen his hard work back then, which was why he decided to give him the opportunity.

After getting the chance, he trained desperately, taking one step at a time to reach where he was today.

Xu Ziyan had been feeling a bit restless due to the undeniable gap between himself and Qu Qingyue, but now his heart slowly calmed down again.

No matter what others did, as long as he worked hard on his own path, he would always improve.

He felt a surge of energy and started his evening Ranked Matches with renewed vigor.

A few days later, Xu Ziyan moved from the Second Team dorms, where he had only lived for a few months, to the A-Team’s villa building.

Since the accidental marking, he hadn’t been back here. Now, seeing the familiar doorway, memories flooded his mind at an inappropriate time.

It was right here that he had run head-on into Xie Wei, who was in his Rut Period…

Xu Ziyan quickly shook his head, tossing those chaotic fragments out of his mind, and walked in with his luggage.

His room was arranged on the third floor of the villa, on the same floor as Qu Qingyue.

Since their brief conversation that day, the atmosphere between Xu Ziyan and her was no longer as stiff as before. When he entered his room, Qu Qingyue even told him a few things Omegas should pay attention to.

“If your Rut Period comes, stay in your room and call Jiang Yuxin… he’s our team manager. He’s currently away on a business trip but will be back in a few days,” Qu Qingyue said while helping him move boxes. “He’ll bring you food and necessities, and you can make any requests to him.”

Xu Ziyan noted everything down, took out his phone to save Jiang Yuxin’s contact information, hesitated, and then said, “I’m sorry.”

Qu Qingyue was momentarily confused by his sudden apology and tilted her head, “For what?”

Xu Ziyan felt awkward bringing it up and scratched his head, “That day, when you were talking to the Captain, I overheard a little bit.”

Qu Qingyue’s expression froze for a moment, then she pursed her lips and broke into an amused smile. “Oh, you… I thought you were a very clever and shrewd person before, but you’re so silly.”

She laughed, “If you’re apologizing to me because I’m leaving TWG, there’s absolutely no need. If I insisted on staying, I’m confident I could block you for a long time and keep you from playing. Transferring was my choice. That team is a better fit for me, and they offered me better conditions. Staying at TWG was like staying in a comfort zone. This transfer is also a new challenge for my career.”

Qu Qingyue paused, her smile becoming gentler. “If you’re apologizing about the Captain, there’s even less need. You can never force feelings, and you are genuinely very good and very cute. Many people pursue me, and I’ll meet even more good Alphas in the future. I won’t hang myself on one tree; I just need a little time.”

As she spoke these words, she looked directly at Xu Ziyan, her eyes curved in a smile, radiating light.

Looking at her, Xu Ziyan couldn’t help but think sincerely that she was a truly beautiful and formidable person.

He had initially felt a bit restless because of the real gap between himself and Qu Qingyue, but now his heart slowly settled down.
