Chapter 9 Wei Xiao: I’m basically still one of FTW’s family members (1/2)

“Then why did he leave?” Chen Feng was very puzzled.
48 hours of soloing left anyone who heard it with too much to disparage and nothing to say, but it could be seen from the effort required that this kid couldn’t extricate himself from the game.
A solo game between players with a high level of disparity could only last for 20 minutes at most. How could Wei Xiao, who’d lost 144 games, be willing to accept it?
Simply based on his little lunatic character, wouldn’t he stay in FTW just for the sake of regaining some of his losses?
It still went back to that sentence––One day, I’ll really win against you!
It was such a clear declaration of war. Under normal circumstances, Wei Xiao should be practicing his skills diligently, pestering Lu Feng every day. How could he bear to leave?
If they took 10,000 steps back to look at the situation, if Wei Xiao wanted to win against Lu Feng in a competition, he could’ve gone to another club instead of going to New Oriental to become a cook!
It didn’t make sense.
Chen Feng thought about it and asked, “Was it a problem… with his family?”

Despite the rapid development of the e-sports industry and the scarily high income, there were still many people who didn’t acknowledge this industry.
There was no need to mention distant cases, there were many such examples around them.
Team captain Mo next door was a typical man who would have to go back and inherit family businesses worth hundreds of millions if he didn’t do well in gaming, and there was God Fu who’d dropped out of South University in order to pursue a career in e-sports and broken off his relationship with his parents…
Of course, they couldn’t skip their own God Lu in these examples.
Nobody knew what happened with Lu Feng’s family, but a person who’d run away from home at the age of 16 and hadn’t contacted his family for five full years wasn’t very far off from breaking off all relations.
Chen Feng tried to test out the waters, “Could it be that Wei Xiaoxiao is also a rich second generation?”
Faced with a two million yuan signing bonus, only the most rich and respectable families could say they didn’t want it and really walk away!
Lu Feng: “I don’t know.”
Chen Feng didn’t think too much about it. The two of them had only known each other for three days and three nights. How could they have talked about such a deep problem? It was normal for Lu Feng not to know.

In fact, Lu Feng did know something about it.
After soloing for 48 hours, fatigue and weariness swamped them the moment they relaxed.
Even Lu Feng, who was in excellent physical condition, was somewhat unable to bear it, not to mention Wei Xiao, who was only hanging on with one breath of life left.
The teenager finished his ‘trash talk’ and closed his eyes right there in the e-sports competition chair.
Lu Feng called out to him.
Wei Xiao groaned vaguely.
Lu Feng pushed against his shoulder gently, “Go sleep in the room.”
Wei Xiao: “Zzzzz…”
This kid.

Lu Feng came closer and asked, “Do you need me to take you to the bedroom?”
Wei Xiao hadn’t actually fallen asleep, and was only too lazy to move. He bounced up, “Captain, you’re really ruthless. How could you use the word ‘take’?!”
Lu Feng smiled, “Otherwise?”
Wei Xiao spoke righteously, “Use ‘carry’, of course! Do you understand what a princess carry is! It’s okay, I don’t mind, my legs are already out of order so they’re giving me permission to be a little princess.”
Lu Feng had heard of how this kid didn’t follow normal rules long ago, but he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he encountered it for himself, “Get up.”
Wei Xiao even felt wronged, “You bullied me for 48 hours, and you’re still being mean to me.”
Lu Feng: “……”
The youth was born with beautiful features, especially that pair of eyes that could be filled with any kind of emotion and was particularly attractive.
Lu Feng shifted his gaze and blanked out his expression, “Take or walk, pick one.”

Wei Xiao had only been talking trash. Adding on that he hadn’t fully gotten over losing for two days and two nights, he’d been purposely trying to give Lu Feng some grief and didn’t actually want to be a little princess. He stood up slowly, “You really are a great, great… ahh…” A big yawn interrupted the three words Great Demon King into Great Yawn King.
At that moment, Lu Feng was a little regretful. If he really signed this little bastard to FTW, would the base have any restful days?
He really wanted to improve the dreary atmosphere of FTW, but he didn’t want it to become a playground.
After finally sending the little bastard to the bedroom, Lu Feng went to take a shower and was ready to get some rest.
“Ding…”
A cell phone rang.
Lu Feng’s cell phone was silent all year round. He was taken by surprise by this strange sound.
After three consecutive ding sounds, he finally realized that it might be Wei Xiao’s cell phone.
Lu Feng tied a towel around his waist and went to the computer table to get the cell phone.

He wasn’t sure if it was anything urgent, and it was better to take it to Wei Xiao just in case.
The cell phone’s screen wasn’t locked, so three messages appeared in Lu Feng’s line of sight.
[ Xiaoxiao, mother was wrong. Can you please call me back? ]
[ Come back, okay? Your mother will make you lots of delicious food. ]
[ Xiaoxiao, don’t blame dad. He really doesn’t have it easy. ]
Lu Feng frowned, flipped the phone so that it was face down, and didn’t keep reading.
Had Wei Xiao run away from home?
Had he not discussed the contract with his family?
Lu Feng went straight to the guest room, thinking that he’d wait until Wei Xiao was awake before talking to him about it.

Signing a contract with a minor required the parents’ consent. Wei Xiao couldn’t take responsibility for it himself.
He’d just arrived at the guest room and hadn’t yet knocked on the door when it opened from within.
The youth was wearing a white t-shirt and shorts as he stood there in front of him.
Lu Feng was a little surprised, “You haven’t slept yet?”
He handed him his cell phone.
Wei Xiao didn’t even look at his cell phone. Instead, he charged straight into him.
Lu Feng was worried he’d trip and didn’t dare to avoid him, “Wei Xiao?”
Wei Xiao’s arms wrapped around him, “So hard.”
Lu Feng: “!”

Wei Xiao mumbled, “This pillow is so hard.”
Lu Feng: “………………”
Wei Xiao hadn’t slept in 48 hours. After that, he slept for a full 20 hours.
Lu Feng tried to break away from this sleepwalking little bastard, but after trying for half an hour to no avail…
He went back to his own room and went to sleep with Wei Xiao in his arms.
This was what had happened over those three days and three nights two years ago.
“Why on earth did he leave?”
Chen Feng’s voice called Lu Feng back from his thoughts.
Lu Feng had some guesses. There was a 90% chance that Wei Xiao’s departure was related to his family.

As for the exact reason, he didn’t know.
Anything that could make that teenager who was so dedicated to winning give up on the competition arena couldn’t have been anything small.
Lu Feng said, “Give me some time.”
Chen Feng: “It’s best if we can talk it out. It would be a pity if a talent like this ended up buried.”
