E-Sports Boss Wants To Post Messages With New Players Every Day Chapter 43

The next day, Xu Ziyan packed a small bag. When he and Xie Wei walked out the door, they happened to run into Bai Chen downstairs.

Bai Chen had come down to pour himself some water. He squinted slightly, his hair messy, looking like he had just woken up, displaying a rare hint of laziness.

Seeing Xie Wei, and then Xu Ziyan following closely behind, he raised an eyebrow: “Planning to take him home?”

His attitude was one of familiarity, something not seen before within the team, which now showed their relationship as childhood friends.

Xu Ziyan saw that they were likely going to chat for a few moments and wisely said, “I’ll wait outside first.”

With that, he walked out of the villa ahead of them.

The door closed, and the Omega youth’s figure completely disappeared outside. Only then did Xie Wei withdraw his gaze and curve his lips, saying, “Yes, I’m bringing KK along this year.”

A faint smile appeared on Bai Chen’s lips: “You’re quite thoughtful this time.”

In previous years, Bai Chen would bring Bai Ke with him for the New Year. However, in recent years, perhaps because he was too lazy to travel, or perhaps because he felt awkward, only Bai Chen would follow his parents to pay New Year’s greetings at the Xie family home.

But times were different now. This year, Bai Ke had transferred to a new team, and the Xie family had an addition in Xu Ziyan. Bai Ke and Xu Ziyan’s relationship was quite good, so this New Year would likely be very lively.

Bai Chen asked, “Have you told your aunt that you’re bringing someone back?”

Xie Wei chuckled: “You know my mom’s personality. If I told her about this in advance, believe me, I’d walk in to find the whole house covered in the character for ‘double happiness’.”

Bai Chen laughed: “That’s true.”

Xie Wei asked, “How are you getting back?”

Bai Chen casually brushed the stray hair off his forehead, lowering his eyes lazily: “Driving. I’ll pick up KK first. You guys go ahead, be careful on the road.”

Xie Wei hummed in acknowledgment, and just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly called back.

Bai Chen lowered his voice: “Right, I meant to ask you before. That issue of yours… is it cured?”

As a childhood friend, Bai Chen was naturally aware of Xie Wei’s aversion to Omegas and intimate relationships.

When he first noticed Xie Wei and Xu Ziyan’s relationship, he was surprised but didn’t pay much attention. Now that he saw Xie Wei was preparing to bring the person home, he became genuinely concerned.

Xie Wei didn’t answer, only smiling: “We’ll take it slow.”

Bai Chen nodded and said, “Contact me anytime if you have problems.”

Outside the villa, Xu Ziyan looked up at the gray-white sky, exhaled a puff of white air, and pulled his scarf up higher around his neck.

After the New Year holiday began, the streets of A City became particularly lively. This villa was a quiet retreat within the bustle, with few pedestrians around. Since the snow fell on New Year’s Day, the temperature had been dropping, and even the wind felt icy.

The weather was cold, but Xu Ziyan’s heart was increasingly warm with excitement.

To be precise, ever since he was embraced by Xie Wei yesterday and heard the suggestion to take him home for the New Year, his heart hadn’t settled down.

Going home at this time meant he would inevitably meet Xie Wei’s parents.

He touched his nose, unable to stop imagining all the possible scenarios.

If Xie Wei’s family didn’t approve of them being together, would there be a scene where he was handed a check for ten million and told to “take this and leave my son”?

Or perhaps the family had already arranged a fiancée, and he would somehow become the interloper, leading to a melodramatic confrontation.

“What are you grinning about?”

Xu Ziyan was lost in thought over all the cliché, dramatic plots in his head when a white GT slowly pulled up in front of him. The window rolled down, revealing Xie Wei’s handsome, enviable face: “Are you frozen? Get in quickly.”

Xu Ziyan quickly snapped back to reality and got into the passenger seat as instructed.

He fastened his seatbelt and looked at the car’s interior, asking curiously, “Captain, I haven’t seen you drive this car before.”

Although both were luxury cars, Xie Wei usually preferred to drive the black Maserati.

Xie Wei said, “Yeah, I need to keep a low profile when going home.”

Low profile…

The moment those two words were spoken, Xu Ziyan felt a sense of “I have nothing to say to you bourgeoisie.”

At the same time, he belatedly and vaguely realized that the gap between him and Xie Wei was far more than just in the field of esports; there was also a chasm in their backgrounds.

Xie Wei’s main family residence was in the city center of A City. As expected of a nationally renowned wealthy family, they had carved out a residential area in a prime, expensive location that was also a quiet retreat.

As soon as they drove into this section of the road, the difference was immediately apparent. The trees and greenery were well-maintained, with lush pine trees and plum blossoms. The greenery in the middle of winter was a refreshing sight.

Further ahead was a small fountain park with various facilities. Separated by the park was the Pei River, which ran east to west through A City, flowing like a crescent moon, offering exceptionally beautiful scenery.

On the other side of the river, the metropolis remained bustling and hurried, but on this side, there was a unique sense of being removed from the world.

Xu Ziyan turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, a hint of nervousness flashing in his eyes.

He had known Xie Wei’s family was rich, but he hadn’t had a concrete concept of it. It was like giving an ordinary person a thousand dollars—they might know how much that is—but giving them ten million is no different from just a number.

Usually, he wore team uniforms at the base, and occasionally riding in Xie Wei’s car didn’t make Xu Ziyan feel anything.

But now, stripped of the esports filter, looking at Xie Wei, he couldn’t help but gasp.

Too rich…

A house in this area, he estimated, would take him almost an entire lifetime of hard work without eating or drinking just to afford a single bathroom.

When the car passed through the gate and turned into the courtyard, Xu Ziyan looked at the mansion before him and expressionlessly crossed out his previous thought.

He was wrong; he couldn’t even afford the bathroom.

Xie Wei parked the car in the open-air garage and set the handbrake. He leaned over, unbuckled Xu Ziyan’s seatbelt, adjusted his scarf, and instructed in a low voice, “Remember to greet people when we go in. If you don’t know how to handle something, leave it to me. If you get annoyed after dinner, just go back to the room first, okay?”

Xu Ziyan felt like Xie Wei was treating him like an ignorant child, finding it both funny and touching: “Got it.”

Xie Wei curved his lips into a smile and kissed the corner of his mouth.

In the Xie family living room.

A cold, beautiful woman in a business suit was sitting on the sofa. She was gorgeous and slender, with long legs crossed. The rhinestones on her high heels sparkled with her movements. Only the traces of time around her eyes and skin betrayed her age, but they also added a mature charm.

She was flipping through documents in her hand, occasionally looking up at the clock, muttering, “Why aren’t they back yet… Uncle Yan, are you sure Xiao Wei is coming back today?”

Before the butler, referred to as Uncle Yan, could speak, there were sounds at the main door. The electronic lock opened, and a tall figure stepped in: “Mom.”

Madam Xie’s expression relaxed, and a smile appeared on her lips. She closed the documents and stood up: “You’re back…”

Before she could finish, she saw the unfamiliar black-haired youth behind Xie Wei.

Xu Ziyan felt Madam Xie’s gaze on him, so nervous that his tongue was almost tied: “H-hello, Auntie.”

“Hello…” Madam Xie also looked flustered. She looked at Xie Wei, her voice involuntarily rising a few octaves: “What is going on?!”

Xie Wei bent down to find a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them in front of Xu Ziyan. Hearing his mother’s question, he smiled: “Let me introduce you. This is Xu Ziyan, my Omega.”

Madam Xie had probably figured things out from the way her son was taking care of this unfamiliar youth, but hearing Xie Wei admit it still made her a little excited. She pulled the nervous Xu Ziyan over, examined him carefully from head to toe, and asked with a beaming smile: “Good boy, what’s your name? How old are you this year?”

After Xu Ziyan answered each question, Madam Xie immediately followed up: “Where are you from? What do your parents do? How did you meet Xiao Wei?”

Xu Ziyan was dizzy from the barrage of questions. Xie Wei, standing nearby, helplessly stepped forward and pulled him back from Madam Xie: “Mom, let’s go inside first.”

“Right, right. Come in quickly.”

Madam Xie finally seemed to remember and led them into the living room. At this moment, she was beaming with joy, completely devoid of her previous cold demeanor.

Xie Wei had always been a promising child since he was young, growing up outstandingly without needing much intervention. However, his father’s incident years ago had greatly affected Xie Wei, which had always been a worry for Madam Xie.

She had even considered finding him some blind dates if things didn’t work out. She never expected Xie Wei to bring an Omega home without a word!

As they sat down, Madam Xie discreetly glanced at the back of Xu Ziyan’s neck. Seeing the mark, she felt greatly relieved and even happier.

She sat down next to Xu Ziyan, smiling, and continued the conversation from before.

Xu Ziyan had initially worried that his ordinary background and divorced parents would make Madam Xie dissatisfied. But clearly, Madam Xie didn’t care about any of that; after asking one question, she simply moved on to the next.

He immediately felt relieved, and his previously stiff back relaxed slightly.

It wasn’t until the doorbell rang that she finally seemed to remember something. Her smile lessened slightly, and she turned to Xie Wei, who was watching the scene unfold, and said, “That should be your cousin’s family arriving.”

Xie Wei frowned slightly. He watched Uncle Yan walk to open the door and asked, “What about Dad? Hasn’t he returned?”

Madam Xie replied, “He’s still at the company.”

Although she hadn’t separated from Mr. Xie over the years, the boundaries between them were clear; they were like strangers living under the same roof, more like simple cohabitants than husband and wife.

Madam Xie was naturally cold-tempered. She no longer had feelings for Mr. Xie and was too lazy to talk about love or hate. She simply treated the marriage as a tool for profit, multiplying her assets several times over, living quite freely.

Xie Wei nodded, then told Xu Ziyan, “No matter what they ask later, you don’t need to answer.”

Madam Xie shook her head and smiled: “Oh, you, how can you teach Xiao Yan that?”

She said this, but she didn’t stop him.

Xu Ziyan understood: this “cousin’s family” was likely not very welcome in the Xie household.
