Psst! We're moving!
After the interview ended, the teams in the arena exited and returned to their respective rest areas.
Cheng Li from the Drop team saw Ding Hui and the others approaching and whistled at Xie Ye. “Impressive, Xie Ye.”
Xie Ye glanced at him without responding.
Yang Bin often exchanged barbs with Cheng Li, so naturally retorted, “Our Wild is naturally strong. What’s wrong? Didn’t you see it during the match?”
Cheng Li clicked his tongue, “I’m not talking about that. What your Wild just said during the interview was impressive. Now the whole internet is buzzing about his relationship.”
Perhaps because he had been around Xie Ye for too long, Yang Bin also adopted his casual tone, “Oh, that’s all?”
“?” Cheng Li was puzzled, “Did you guys already know this would happen?”
“Not exactly,” Yang Bin waved his hand, “But when the reporter asked that question, given Wild’s nature, do you think he could hide his girlfriend?”
“...”
Was this a compliment or an insult?
“And what if he has a girlfriend?” Yang Bin said, “Our sister-in-law isn’t a bad person, why should we hide it? Wild just wants to admit he has a girlfriend.”
Cheng Li laughed, “No, it’s not like you have a girlfriend. Why are you getting so excited?”
“...”
“I heard you praising Xie Ye for being strong, but...” Cheng Li turned to look at Xie Ye, “Can’t you be more low-key? And what’s this about being afraid of your girl throwing a tantrum?”
At that moment, not only were the reporters stunned, but the entire Drop team standing nearby suddenly turned to look at him.
Though they knew Xie Ye had a girlfriend, they never expected him to boldly announce it like this.
However, the main party involved, Xie Ye, seemed completely unfazed by any issues, calmly looking at the reporter and asking if he was done. If not, he was leaving.
Listening to Cheng Li’s complaints, Xie Ye lazily replied, “Well, I wanted to be low-key, but...”
Ding Hui often got tortured; hearing something amiss, he interjected, “No buts; you can shut up.”
“But our sister-in-law likes me saying this. If I don’t say it, I’m afraid she’ll get upset.” Xie Ye continued, “There’s no helping it; she loves me too much.”
“...”
Cheng Li had heard Yang Bin complain that Xie Ye always bragged and showed off to people, but he hadn’t personally witnessed it until now. Unable to resist, he exclaimed, “Can you speak human language?”
“Don’t understand this?” Xie Ye nodded, seemingly mercifully saying, “Alright, let me say it again.”
Cheng Li directly refused, “Get lost, who wants to hear you say it again.”
Just then, the YG team’s rest area arrived, and Cheng Li immediately urged them, “Yang Bin, hurry up and take this guy away, go go go.”
Xie Ye didn’t bother with him and followed the others into the rest room.
Yang Bin first ran to the lounge chair and lay down, repeatedly sighing how tired he was, then pulled Lin Jie to lie down and rest.
“Alright alright, you guys rest first, we’ll eat later.” Old Mu flipped through his phone, “I’ve booked a restaurant; we must celebrate today!”
Piao Luo spoke beside him, “You guys played really well today, deserve praise, but there were big problems in the second round, you—”
“Hey, coach, can’t we discuss this during the review later? We just finished the match.” Yang Bin complained.
“That’s right.” Old Mu also scolded him, “We’ve already taken first place, let’s be happy first, what’s wrong with you as a coach?”
Rebuked by these two, Piao Luo choked halfway.
Yang Bin ignored it and turned to Lin Jie, “How’s it going online?”
Lin Jie scrolled through Weibo and coughed, “Basically everyone is talking about what Wild said during the interview.”
Ding Hui also leaned over to look, scanning his screen showing a comment—
[Is God Wild on the phone with that delicate girl now?]
Seeing this, Ding Hui directly turned to look at Xie Ye lying on the sofa with his phone.
Silently answering in his mind, yes.
Xie Ye didn’t care about others. As soon as he entered, he picked up his phone, noticed several missed calls, and casually dialed back.
After a few rings, the other party finally answered, calmly saying, “Hello, who’s this?”
Hearing this, Xie Ye raised his eyebrows, “Your boyfriend.”
“Oh, do I have a boyfriend?”
“...” Xie Ye asked emotionlessly, “What are you talking about?”
“Who told you I’m delicate?” Chi Zhiyu countered, “I’m clearly very understanding.”
Seeing her concerned about this, Xie Ye chuckled, “Understanding? Tell me yourself where you fit with that word?”
Chi Zhiyu retorted, “Where don’t I fit? Look, I didn’t disturb your training, let you rest and sleep well. Isn’t that considerate?”
Xie Ye raised his eyebrows, “Alright, whatever you say.”
“...”
This was completely dismissive.
But Chi Zhiyu didn’t argue with him and asked, “When will you come back?”
“In a while,” Xie Ye casually said.
“Hmm?” Chi Zhiyu paused, “What do you mean ‘in a while’?”
The Asian Invitational was held in Nanshan, a two-and-a-half-hour flight. After the match, there certainly would be a celebratory dinner. Where did this ‘in a while’ come from?
Xie Ye: “In a while means in a while.”
Guessing his thoughts, Chi Zhiyu frowned slightly, “Rest and eat well tonight, it’s not urgent to come back tomorrow. It’s not like I won’t see you.”
Xie Ye arrogantly said, “What if I don’t?”
Chi Zhiyu: “Then I’ll throw a tantrum with you and stop talking to you.”
“...”
“Didn’t you say I’m delicate, afraid I’d throw a tantrum with you?” Chi Zhiyu seemed ready to do just that, “If you leave the team tonight and run back, I’ll really throw a tantrum and not talk to you.”
For the first time being threatened with this reason, Xie Ye raised an eyebrow, “What if I run back?”
“It’s not good.” Chi Zhiyu continued advising him, “It’s not like I won’t see you. If you leave them and run back, I’ll get angry.”
Xie Ye: “So serious?”
“Yeah.” Chi Zhiyu gave him instructions, “So stay put with Lin Jie and the others, don’t leave the team擅自. I’ll ask Old Mu later.”
Xie Ye chuckled, “Are you monitoring me now?”
Chi Zhiyu: “Something like that.”
“Alright.” Hearing her nagging and managing him, Xie Ye felt quite pleased, “I’ll behave.”
“Mm.” Chi Zhiyu was fairly satisfied with his attitude.
Xie Ye checked the time, “Have you eaten?”
Chi Zhiyu responded, “Still eating, Wu Xuan and I are eating out.”
Xie Ye: “Finish eating and go back, don’t dawdle.”
Chi Zhiyu blinked, “Where did I dawdle?”
Xie Ye started digging up old accounts, “Who came back late at night before?”
The situation reversed.
“...” Chi Zhiyu was momentarily stuck, muttering softly, “That was a roommate’s birthday, we were celebrating outside.”
Xie Ye sneered.
Coincidentally, Chi Zhiyu heard Old Mu start calling from his side, quickly saying, “Go eat, call me after you come back tomorrow, hang up, bye.”
As soon as the words fell, Chi Zhiyu directly hung up the phone, sighed in relief, and then met Wu Xuan’s resentful gaze.
“...”
Chi Zhiyu coughed, calmly put away her phone, and looked at the dishes left on her plate, “Are you full?”
Wu Xuan looked at her, “Mm, I’ve been fed enough with your dog food.”
Chi Zhiyu innocently, “What dog food?”
Wu Xuan mimicked her earlier words, repeating, “Then I’ll really throw a tantrum and stop talking to you.”
“...” Chi Zhiyu almost choked, “I didn’t talk like that.”
Such an affected tone.
Wu Xuan nodded, “Although not that dramatic, you’re torturing me.”
Chi Zhiyu picked up her chopsticks and randomly picked up a piece of meat, “You can find someone too, then I’ll eat your dog food every day.”
Wu Xuan followed suit eating, “If I could find someone, would I still be here arguing with you?”
“Then whose fault is it.” Chi Zhiyu thought for a moment, “Or you can develop something with someone you know?”
Wu Xuan: “Like who?”
“Jiang Jinxu?” Chi Zhiyu picked someone close, he also got into Ruwu, just not seen often.
Wu Xuan shook her head, “He’s just for admiration, forget it.”
“Then...” Chi Zhiyu said, “Li Taoran and Su Le?”
“Get lost.” Wu Xuan was speechless yet amused, “If I had feelings for them, could I still be here now?”
Chi Zhiyu nodded, “True.”
After saying that, she remembered something and curiously asked, “So you never had feelings for Xie Ye?”
Wu Xuan was candid, “Yes, I did.”
“?”
“Just admiration.” Wu Xuan ate her meat, “And with Xie Ye’s nasty temper, looking at everyone like they owe him millions, arrogant and annoying. Even if I really had feelings, they would have been crushed by him.”
“But although he’s arrogant towards you, it’s different with us.” Wu Xuan paused, “Could this be the power of love?”
Chi Zhiyu smiled and nodded, “Maybe it really is.”
Wu Xuan choked, “Giving you face, and you’re still showing off, huh.”
“Alright alright.” Chi Zhiyu served her some meat, “I’ll be humble.”
“Well, I’ll reluctantly accept.” Wu Xuan picked up the meat she gave, took a bite, “But mentioning this makes me recall something from before.”
“Hmm? What’s the matter?”
“A long time ago.” Wu Xuan recalled, “I remember Xie Ye once got gastroenteritis and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. You heard about it and skipped class in a panic, didn’t even go to the dance studio, just ran to the hospital to see him.”
“Ah, really?” Chi Zhiyu had no memory of it, “When was that?”
“About...” Wu Xuan hesitated, “Second year of junior high?”
Memories were somewhat scattered, but Wu Xuan vaguely remembered.
At that time, the whole class seemed to be having the last English class in the afternoon, and their English teacher was also Xie Ye’s homeroom teacher. Halfway through the lesson,
The Chinese teacher suddenly opened the door and hurriedly said, “Your classmate Xie Ye fainted and was taken away by ambulance.”
The English teacher reacted quickly, rushed out, and let the Chinese teacher supervise their self-study.
Wu Xuan didn’t expect such a thing to happen and was still stunned when she suddenly noticed a figure outside the window. She turned her head and saw Chi Zhiyu with a pale face, panicking and running out as if something major had happened.
Then, when school was over, Wu Xuan learned that Chi Zhiyu went to the infirmary, used the medical record as an excuse to leave school, and went to the hospital.
...
Later, Wu Xuan and Su Le went to visit Xie Ye. When they reached the gastroenterology department, they asked the nurse and found them.
Wu Xuan pushed open the ward and called out, “Ayu, Su Le and I—”
Her voice trailed off as she approached, suddenly catching in her throat.
At that moment, Xie Ye was sitting on the hospital bed.
The young man wore a patient gown, his lips pale, looking somewhat exhausted. He lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the girl beside the bed. Chi Zhiyu was half-lying on the bed, her head tilted, eyes closed, fast asleep.
After a few seconds, seemingly noticing the movement, Xie Ye looked up, his voice somewhat low, “She’s sleeping.”
He was ushering them away.
Wu Xuan and Su Le didn’t stay long, seeing he was fine, they turned and left. But as they were leaving, Wu Xuan thought she saw Chi Zhiyu’s hand resting on one side, tightly holding—
Xie Ye’s hand.
...
They were still young back then.
Wu Xuan didn’t think anything else of it, but at that moment, she felt these two people couldn’t live without each other.
They were meant to be together, always.
Now, recalling this, Wu Xuan watched Chi Zhiyu and chuckled, “I didn’t expect you to be so bold back then, daring to skip class under false pretenses.”
Chi Zhiyu gradually remembered which incident it was and laughed, “That wasn’t exactly skipping class; I left with a medical record.”
Wu Xuan clicked her tongue, “Do you not know if you were sick or not?”
“...” Chi Zhiyu felt this was hard to explain, glanced at the dining table, and changed the topic, “Are you full? If you’re full, let’s go.”
Wu Xuan didn’t press further, nodded, and got up to settle the bill with her. Afterwards, they strolled back to the dormitory.
Roommate Yi Jun heard the door open, “You two are back.”
“Mm, have you eaten?” Chi Zhiyu asked.
Yi Jun nodded, “I have.”
“Eh, where’s Lingling?” Wu Xuan scanned the room and didn’t see her, finding it strange.
Yi Jun pointed to the balcony, “She’s on the phone with her boyfriend.”
Wu Xuan clicked her tongue, “The sour stench of love.”
“No, it’s sweet love, alright.” Guan Lingling came in after finishing her call and heard this, rebutting her.
Wu Xuan shook her head, “No, it’s sweet love for you, but sour stench for me.”
“...”
Guan Lingling started battling her again.
Yi Jun, watching Chi Zhiyu sip water, remembered something, “Oh, right, Xiaozhi, are you secretly dating Jiang Jinxu from the boys’ side?”
“Cough!” Chi Zhiyu choked, looking at her in bewilderment, “What?”
“They said you and Jiang Jinxu are high school classmates, often paired up for competitions, grew fond of each other over time, and have maintained a secret relationship.”
“?”
Chi Zhiyu was stunned, “Who said that? Jiang Jinxu?”
Yi Jun saw her reaction, sensing something was off, coughed, “Someone saw your profiles are from the same high school, and you said you knew your boyfriend before, started dating after graduation, so they assumed...”
Chi Zhiyu understood but was amused and angered, “No, my boyfriend isn’t him.”
“What Jiang Jinxu.” Wu Xuan realized, “Her boyfriend and her grew up together, what does Jiang Jinxu have to do with it?”
“Childhood sweethearts!!!”
Focusing on the key point, they quickly turned to Chi Zhiyu, “Why didn’t you tell us?”
Chi Zhiyu blinked, “You never asked.”
“...”
Chi Zhiyu indeed felt there was nothing worth mentioning actively, it wasn’t a big deal. Even the fact that she had a boyfriend was revealed a few days ago when someone confessed to her and she rejected them.
Guan Lingling and Yi Jun were dumbfounded that day because they never thought Chi Zhiyu would have a boyfriend. They hadn’t seen her frequently making calls or meeting anyone, so they naturally assumed otherwise.
“No.” Yi Jun realized, “So your childhood sweetheart boyfriend isn’t in our school?”
Chi Zhiyu nodded, “No.”
Guan Lingling asked, “Then why haven’t we seen him visit you?”
Chi Zhiyu honestly replied, “He’s been busy lately, and so have I, so I occasionally visit him.”
Hearing this, Guan Lingling furrowed her brows and bluntly said, “He’s probably got another woman, deliberately pretending to be busy.”
Chi Zhiyu was amused, “No, he’s genuinely busy, he’ll have time afterward.”
After all, the competition was over.
“What nonsense are you thinking.” Wu Xuan also found it amusing, “They’re so sweet. Go clarify this nonsense about a secret relationship with Jiang Jinxu. What rubbish, ruining the reputation of our department flower.”
Chi Zhiyu automatically ignored her nickname.
Guan Lingling and Yi Jun began pulling her to ask about this childhood sweetheart boyfriend, but Wu Xuan took over, “You want to hear about it, come on, I’ll personally tell you as their mutual friend.”
Chi Zhiyu let her be, sat at her desk, checked the time, thought Xie Ye should still be eating, and casually browsed Weibo to see the development of the situation online.
On the trending topics, #YG Championship# was still there, but simultaneously #Wild’s Delicate Girl# also made it to the front page.
Looking at this keyword, Chi Zhiyu couldn’t help but think of what he said in the video earlier, inexplicably blushing, and tapped on the term.
Many esports bloggers forwarded the interview video and kept @WildGardenia, exclaiming how sour they were, lemon trees were about to bloom, and fans were commenting below.
[Waaaaaah I just wanted to watch a handsome guy play, but unexpectedly this handsome guy threw a bunch of dog food at me waaaaaaaah]
[Holy crap! He actually has a girlfriend??]
[Please, what sin did I commit! Why do the boys I like all have girlfriends!!!]
[Though... but this way of coming out is too cool!! Love it!!]
[Putting that aside, I just want to know which delicate girl managed to tame this arrogant guy!]
[Seriously! You guys must see the look in God Wild’s eyes when he said ‘my delicate girl’!! My goodness ahhhhh!]
[Yep yep yep!! I must have watched that look a hundred times]
[Alright, I finally got officially exposed by my husband this way, that’s right, I admit I’m Wild’s wife :)]
[????]
[Upstairs, if you ate even one peanut, you wouldn’t be drunk like this]
......
This comment seemed to be the beginning, a bunch of people started popping up claiming to be Wild’s wife.
Seeing this, Chi Zhiyu realized these fans didn’t seem to oppose Xie Ye having a girlfriend; instead, they accepted and blessed it.
The reason might be because they cared about the players’ skills and levels, so whether or not they had a girlfriend wasn’t a crucial factor.
Moreover, if the player’s relationship was sweet, they’d even enjoy the dog food together.
Chi Zhiyu read through all of it, finding it hilarious, casually exited, and directly called Xie Ye.
•
Meanwhile.
Xie Ye finished eating and returned to the hotel. Yang Bin followed him into his room, finding the decoration better, wanting to switch rooms with him. Since he was happy today, he planned to livestream to thank the fans and wanted to pull him to duo queue together.
Xie Ye glanced at the time and let him do as he pleased. Coincidentally, when Yang Bin just started the livestream, Lin Jie also came over, forming a trio situation.
The fans, seeing the usual faces of Yang Bin and Lin Jie on the screen, frantically shouted for Wild to turn on the camera!!!
Xie Ye glanced and casually turned it on, bullet comments flooded the screen.
Some directly shouted, where is Wild’s wife? Did Wild’s wife come to watch the match today?
Xie Ye might have been in a good mood today, seeing the bullet comments, he replied, “She’s not here.”
[Ahhhhhh Wild replied to me!!!!]
[Fuck! This is so double standards!! Only replying to comments about Wild’s wife!!]
[I’m fucking jealous!!!]
[I’m here I’m here, has Wild’s wife thrown a tantrum with you?!!!]
Xie Ye raised an eyebrow, “Nope.”
After this reply, the bullet comments were all about Wild’s wife, but Xie Ye didn’t respond anymore, obediently finishing a game.
Just then, the phone on the corner of the table rang. Xie Ye glanced at it, picked it up, and answered, “Hmm? Not sleeping yet?”
A flurry of question marks popped up.
Hearing his words, Chi Zhiyu chuckled, “What time is it now? It’s not that early to sleep.”
Xie Ye lectured her, “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. Don’t you know?”
“You’re one to talk.” Chi Zhiyu poked him, “You look at yourself first.”
Xie Ye arrogantly replied, “Even if I don’t sleep, I’m still healthy.”
“...” Chi Zhiyu imitated his tone, “I doubt it.”
“Oh.” Xie Ye arrogantly opened his mouth, “Then come—”
Before finishing, Xie Ye noticed the ongoing livestream and casually exited.
Then, he finished his sentence, inviting her in a very improper tone, “Come verify it with me?”
