WG - 56

The scene fell silent.

Xie Ye maintained his posture, staring at her for two seconds, then suddenly said with a half-smile, “Distracted by your beauty?”

Chi Zhiyu let him look, blinking. “Aren’t you coveting my beauty?”

Xie Ye’s eyelashes flickered. “Say something human.”

“Well,” Chi Zhiyu recalled the rumors Wu Xuan used to talk about in high school, lightly licked her lips, and repeated, “They all used to say that you were tempted by my beauty and fell under my spell.”

“...”

Xie Ye pulled at his lips. “What do you think?”

“I think,” Chi Zhiyu’s voice trailed off, then she stated honestly, “That’s true.”

“...”

Just coveting my beauty.

These words came out, and Xie Ye naturally understood her meaning. He raised an eyebrow, then nodded his chin and chuckled to himself. “Alright.”

“Hmm?”

Xie Ye stared at her lips, then suddenly brought up, “Then let’s say I covet your beauty.”

Chi Zhiyu frowned. “What do you mean ‘then’—”

Before she could finish, Xie Ye suddenly lowered his head and slowly approached her, his thin lips slightly parted as he said, “I’ll covet it once.”

Chi Zhiyu’s breath hitched. She immediately understood his intention and was about to speak.

The next moment, Xie Ye’s lips were already pressed against hers. He opened his mouth to take her lips, his tongue prying open her teeth, hooking her tongue and lightly biting it, then licking it before sweeping across her palate and quickly retreating.

Her lips were moist, and a soft, tactile sensation lingered.

Chi Zhiyu stiffened, appearing extremely shocked. She looked at him with a hint of disbelief, daring not to speak loudly, “What if someone comes later?!”

Xie Ye casually unfastened her seatbelt, hooked her with his palm, and pulled her into his embrace. He lightly touched her lips, then retreated a little, looking at her still somewhat dazed expression. He chuckled softly, his tone very irritating, “What are you afraid of? Nobody’s here, are they?”

“...”

Chi Zhiyu’s face was a little red. “Let go quickly, it’s not good if someone sees us.”

Xie Ye raised an eyebrow. “Who’s looking?”

Only the two of them were in the car; everyone else was still upstairs getting ready. Indeed, no one was watching.

But who knew if someone would suddenly come down? There was no certainty.

“Are you crazy?” Chi Zhiyu slapped his hand away with one hand and glared at him. “You have no shame, but I do!”

“Oh, perfect then.” Xie Ye went along with her words, lightly kissed her lips, and whispered, “Let’s covet it again.”

Anyway, he had no shame.

“...”

Xie Ye hooked her slender waist with his palm, his head slightly tilted as he left light kisses on her lips. His other hand moved up, resting on the back of her head, not allowing her to retreat.

Little by little, his tongue skillfully explored, twirling around her tongue and sucking, licking her pearly white teeth.

The force was gentle yet domineering, making one unconsciously fall deeper.

The back of the car was small, quiet yet inexplicably hot.

Their distance was extremely close, their breaths gradually deepening, and the faint sounds of kissing seemed to be magnified countless times, constantly echoing around them.

Chi Zhiyu’s heart, which had initially pounded nervously, was disrupted by his kiss, thumping loudly.

Her consciousness scattered, completely controlled by him, with no extra energy to focus on other matters.

Xie Ye’s kiss gradually became more uninhibited, openly and unrestrainedly.

When it swept across her palate.

Chi Zhiyu’s body unconsciously trembled, and she lightly bit his mischievous tongue.

Xie Ye noticed, and also bit her lips, seeming reluctant to part as he lightly licked them, and finally stopped his movements.

Their lips and teeth separated, foreheads resting against each other.

Xie Ye looked at her still somewhat dazed expression, chuckled, kissed the corner of her flushed eye, and said hoarsely, “Ten more minutes.”

“Hmm?” Chi Zhiyu’s mind was slow. She looked up, catching her breath, and asked, “What?”

Xie Ye pressed against her lips, his voice hoarse as he said, “We have ten more minutes.”

Brushing against her lips, Xie Ye kissed her again.

“Just a few more kisses.”

These few kisses weren’t long, just a matter of minutes.

Xie Ye was just teasing her. After a comforting kiss, he obediently sat beside her and talked, helping her re-fasten her seatbelt.

But what Chi Zhiyu found terrifying was that Xie Ye could actually accurately calculate the remaining time.

The rest of the people truly came down and got into the car ten minutes later. They weren’t surprised at all to see her, instead greeting her quite happily.

Chi Zhiyu sat in her seat, nodding with a faint smile, but thinking of what she and Xie Ye had secretly done just now, she inexplicably felt a little guilty and embarrassed.

Yang Bin was the first to get in and sat next to Xie Ye. Ding Hui and Lin Jie sat in the front, followed by Hua Bei, the substitute selected from the youth training team.

Usually, PUBG competitive teams bring five players: four main attackers and one substitute, in case of any sudden incidents with the main team members who can quickly fill in.

“Sister Chi, sorry for the wait, sorry for the wait. These internet-addicted boys are too difficult to please when it comes to makeup,” Lao Mu said as he got into the car, looking at Chi Zhiyu and complaining a few times.

Pu Luo urged him from behind to move up and not block the way.

Pu Luo was the former captain of the YG team, Polo, who retired last year due to health reasons and remained as a coach.

Chi Zhiyu saw them and nodded, greeting each one.

Lao Mu waved his hand. “No need to be so formal. You’re our only family support group here. Later, we’ll need you to cheer us on and boost our morale.”

Chi Zhiyu smiled. “Okay, I’ll definitely do that.”

Ding Hui heard Lao Mu’s words. “No, you saying ‘only’ makes us seem a bit too pathetic.”

Lao Mu shrugged. “Is that my fault? Besides Xie Ye, which one of you has a partner? I’d love more family support, but you yourselves aren’t trying hard enough, what can I say?”

After speaking, he felt something was off again. “Wait a minute, other managers don’t let team members date. Why am I the only one constantly urging you guys to go out and see the world?”

“...”

Chi Zhiyu coughed, inexplicably feeling that something was off with this statement.

Was he praising Xie Ye for dating early, or scolding others for dating late?

“Alright, alright, let’s stop talking about this for now. We still have to record interviews later, so think of your answers first.” Lao Mu didn’t seem to think there was any problem. He got into the driver’s seat and started the car, driving away.

Pu Luo thought about it, then turned to the back. “Xie Ye, you just need to get out of the car and show your face later, then come with me to the lounge.”

“?” Yang Bin was confused. “Why doesn’t Brother Ye need an interview?”

Pu Luo tutted. “This is a strategic deployment. To maintain an air of mystery.”

Wild’s identity was already a big selling point, and combined with the fact that Xie Ye had never appeared in public before, his debut this time was undoubtedly a huge surprise.

No need for interviews; let’s just see him on the field.

________________________________________

The YG Club was not far from the competition venue, about a fifteen-minute drive.

As they approached the entrance, Chi Zhiyu looked through the car window and saw fans completely blocking the road, each holding support signs and team jerseys, screaming hoarsely.

It was Chi Zhiyu’s first time seeing such a scene, and she was stunned for a moment.

“Sister Chi, small scene, small scene,” Yang Bin quickly said. “When we get out of the car, we’ll help attract attention, and you just follow us directly.”

Chi Zhiyu nodded, looking at Xie Ye. “Be careful, don’t get pushed and fall.”

“Don’t worry,” Yang Bin waved his hand. “I’ll take good care of Brother Ye, I won’t let him get tackled.”

Chi Zhiyu smiled. “Okay, thank you for that.”

Xie Ye raised an eyebrow. “Am I handless and footless, needing others to bother with me?”

“This is me telling you to be careful. It’s so crazy out there, too dangerous, and also,” Chi Zhiyu thought for a moment, then still reminded him, “Protect yourself, don’t let anyone take advantage of you.”

“...”

The car stopped in front of the door. Lao Mu pulled out the car keys, tilted his head, and said, “Alright, let’s get out.”

Ding Hui and Lin Jie got up first, getting out of the car in the pre-determined order, with Xie Ye being the last.

As they left, Chi Zhiyu wished them good luck one by one, until the very end.

Lao Mu and Pu Luo in front naturally turned their heads and let out an ambiguous “Oh my.”

Xie Ye turned his head to look at her.

Chi Zhiyu met his dark eyes, looked up, and kissed the corner of his lips, chuckling softly, “I’ll wait for you to come home, Wild.”

________________________________________

“Now, at the competition venue, we see the YG team’s vehicle has arrived! I’m sure everyone knows that this year’s YG team lineup has undergone massive changes, with two new members joining. One of them might not be unfamiliar to everyone. The car door is opening now!”

“Camera crew, let’s focus the lens on the car door! The legendary, long-awaited Wild is finally about to unveil his mysterious identity!”

The cheers from outside were intense, wave after wave. Fans watched the car door open, their hearts pounding as they saw the first people alight, instantly beginning to scream.

“Ahhhhhhh!”

“Ahhhhhhh! It’s Yang Bin and Ding Hui!!!”

“Young Master Ding!!! Look at me! I love you!!”

“I’m here to see Wild!! Has he gotten out yet?!?”

“Wild! Wild! Wild!”

The shouts for Wild grew louder and louder.

Lin Jie was also a new face to the public. He had a very refined and elegant appearance, looking like a good student, with a clean-cut handsomeness.

The moment he got out of the car, fans who hadn’t seen him before immediately mistook him for Wild and shouted his name repeatedly.

But when they saw “Lin” embroidered on the back of his jersey, they were stunned. Before they could react, their peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of another figure inside the car, and they instinctively turned to look.

The door of the commercial vehicle wasn’t high. They saw a young man wearing a black team uniform similar to the others, his long legs hitting the ground. He bent slightly and stepped out of the car.

Everyone’s gaze converged, staring intently.

The next second.

The young man slowly straightened up, his eyelids lifting to reveal his face.

Dark hair, prominent brows, and deep, dark pupils that appeared somewhat cold in the light.

His figure was slender and tall. Compared to the previous three, the black team uniform seemed tailor-made for him, not at all suppressing his wild arrogance, but instead highlighting his innate sharpness.

Xie Ye’s eyelids moved slightly. Everyone suddenly met the detachment and indifference in his eyes. When they came to their senses, they watched him walk past the crowd, and this allowed all of them to see the name on the back of his jersey.

—Wild.

The outdoor arena fell silent for a moment. Someone let out a shout, and the next second, followed by deafening screams from girls and shouts from boys.

Behind her, Chi Zhiyu silently got out of the car wearing a baseball cap, safely blending into the crowd. She listened to the fervent screams of the young girls around her.

She looked up at Xie Ye, who had already safely entered the venue, and found it inexplicably amusing.

He had stunned everyone in place the moment he appeared, and no fans had rushed to tackle him.

It seemed she had worried for nothing.

Chi Zhiyu curved her lips, walked forward a bit, and took out her phone, ready to find Wu Xuan and the others to enter the venue together.

The phone rang for a while before it was answered. Wu Xuan shouted loudly, “Where are you?”

“...”

Chi Zhiyu felt this wasn’t going to work. She exited the call interface and texted her: [At the entrance.]

Wu Xuan: [Okay, we’re coming to find you.]

The call ended. Chi Zhiyu stood still, waiting for them to arrive.

________________________________________

Surrounded by young female fans, their voices weren’t suppressed. Standing among them, she could hear their conversations even if she didn’t try to.

“Holy cow! I was really startled just now. Was that Wild? Am I f***ing blind?”

“I’m even nearsighted! If you’re blind, what about me?”

“...”

Silence for a moment, then the girl probably came to her senses.

“Damn, Wild is too handsome! Isn’t it better to just rely on his looks to make a living?”

“They say he has real skill! Do you think everyone wants to get everything for free just by relying on their looks?”

“No, really, Wild’s face is absolutely stunning. Alright, I’ve decided.”

“Decided what?”

“He’s my husband.”

“...”

Chi Zhiyu lowered her head, unable to hold back a chuckle, and lightly coughed.

The two girls next to her heard the sound and realized that their conversation had been overheard. They awkwardly whispered and nudged each other, walking forward to avoid her.

Chi Zhiyu didn’t really mind. However, during this waiting period, she had already met countless people who wanted to be Xie Ye’s wife.

As she listened to these declarations, she suddenly thought.

If you’re handsome enough, you really can conquer the world.

While she was still marveling internally, Wu Xuan finally arrived.

“No, why are you wearing a hat like that?” Wu Xuan fanned herself with a fan, frowning. “It took me ages to find you.”

“Ah,” Chi Zhiyu touched her head. “I forgot.”

Just now in the car, Xie Ye had casually put his baseball cap on her, completely covering her face, before getting out of the car.

“Xie Ye is quite strong, huh?” Li Taoran glanced around and whispered, “So many fans are shouting his name, my ears almost went deaf just now.”

“Nonsense,” Wu Xuan said proudly. “Wild is strong, of course.”

Su Le found it too hot here and checked the time. “Let’s go. We should be able to get in now. Let’s go in and sit down first.”

As she spoke, everyone nodded in agreement.

The tickets Xie Ye gave them were in the front row, allowing them to see the situation on the field and the game camera footage from the closest distance.

After Chi Zhiyu found her seat, she looked up at the empty stage. They should still be in the backstage lounge, preparing.

Wu Xuan, next to her, also looked around, then leaned over and whispered, “But I say, do you think Xie Ye can win this time?”

Chi Zhiyu smiled. “You’re his fan, shouldn’t you believe in him?”

“I’m not blindly worshipping; I’m a rational fan,” Wu Xuan analyzed for her. “But of course, I hope Xie Ye can win. After all, this is a big competition. Only by winning this one can he qualify for the Asian tournament.”

“Of course it’s important,” Su Le added. “But today we’re up against famous powerhouse teams in the country. It’s hard to say.”

Li Taoran tutted, “Why is it hard to say? Xie Ye’s so strong! He definitely can!”

“Xie Ye is strong, but he’s never truly participated in this kind of offline competition. Although he’s been training consistently, he’s still completely a novice. How can he compare to the veteran players from other teams?”

This was a fact.

Everyone was certainly familiar with the name Wild, but they also understood one thing.

This was his first time participating in such a professional competition.

He had no experience whatsoever.

Professional competitions were not like online entertainment matches; they required teamwork and overall coordination.

They also required professional training in tactics and skill.

Considering that Xie Ye had never participated in a competition, and only had a few months of training.

How could he compare?

Similar doubts had arisen since the YG official Weibo released the team roster.

They had never stopped.

This was very realistic, and also very cruel.

But it was also true.

As the person involved, Xie Ye certainly knew this; he just hadn’t said it or shown it to her.

But Chi Zhiyu knew he wasn’t taking it easy.

Every single day, he trained, at least sixteen hours, and he might still be awake when everyone else was asleep.

In the face of the unknown, he was constantly striving to grow.

To be worthy of the name he bore and everyone’s expectations.

Wild.

Everyone was a bit quiet.

Wu Xuan turned to look at her, comforting her, “No, we’re not saying Xie Ye can’t do it, and even if it’s bad, Xie Ye won’t be that bad. Don’t worry, okay?”

Chi Zhiyu smiled at that. “Don’t worry, I’m not worried.”

The few of them paused.

A sudden clamor arose from all around. Chi Zhiyu looked up at the stage and immediately saw Xie Ye’s tall, slender figure.

He walked out from backstage, then suddenly looked up, staring at her from afar.

Their gazes met.

The next moment, Chi Zhiyu looked at the emotions in his eyes, then suddenly chuckled softly.

Her boy.

He was asking her to wait for him, to return fully laden with glory.
