Chapter 17 Wei Xiao: When it comes to men, I am the only good one (1/2)

As a former professional player, Wei Xiao’s hand speed was faster than his brain. He didn’t even know when he’d withdrawn the message, but the message had already been withdrawn.
Only…
Close: “Address.”
What was the use of withdrawing the message?
The current professional player Lu Feng’s dynamic vision was even fiercer than his hand speed.
Close: “?”
Wei Xiao stared at the question mark. There were drums pounding in his heart.
He was so nervous that he grabbed the husky and fluffed up its fur, “What to do what to do what to do?”
How could Soybean understand a thing? It swatted the cell phone with a paw, wanting to get rid of this bad thing so that its father would accompany it to play.

Coincidentally…
The big and soft pad of its paw swept across the screen and miraculously sent out an emoticon.
Wei Xiao’s collection of emoticons were just like him. If they weren’t bratty, then they were arrogant and outrageous and were usually used when he was acting shameless.
The one that Soybean had casually sent out was a typical example.
It was a very big panda man, the corners of its mouth curved wickedly with evil charm, two red cheeks, and a large line of text beneath it––‘When it comes to men, I am the only good one’.
The sentence written out in tiny font above it was the most provocative––‘Hello everyone, I’m a liar. I want kisses. Anyone willing to be tricked, who likes being cheated, please give me a kiss and buy a life lesson. Don’t ask me why others cheat money while I cheat kisses, because I’m a big hooligan.’
In this second, Wei Xiao really wanted to destroy the world in a fit of righteousness!
Withdraw the message! Quickly!
But what was the use of it? The single word he’d sent before had been seen, and now there was this huge expression pack…

Close sent over another question mark.
Wei Xiao wanted to die, “You might not believe me if I say it, but my dog was the one who sent the emoticon.”
Close paused for a moment, “It’s just a kiss. There’s no need to claim to be a dog.”
Wei Xiao: “…………………”
Brother Xiao, who was kneeling on the bed right now, only had one sentence in his brain at this moment––natural law will circle back, and the heavens will spare nobody.
The reckless things he’d done when he galloped through the Jianghu back then had all become the water in his brain now!
Wei Xiao quickly sent over a photo of the husky, “Look, I really have a dog.”
Close: “Oh.”
Wei Xiao: “It really was the one who sent the emoticon.”

Close: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao felt that he wouldn’t be able to wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
Close sent over a screenshot, “Was it the one who sent this too?”
Wei Xiao looked at the screenshot, and the breath that he’d just sucked in got caught in his throat.
He could swear that between him sending out the word ‘Yes’ to him withdrawing it, there was only enough time for him to say a single ‘F*ck’, and the total time absolutely didn’t exceed ten seconds.
How had Close managed to get a screenshot?
It was amazing, too amazing…
Glory’s great demon king’s hand speed was really worthy of his fame.
Ah, f*ck!

Wei Xiao clutched at his own hair and thought about what he should say.
Close: “Address?”
How could Wei Xiao dare to give him his address? He stared at it for a long time, his heart slashed open, then decided to cut off any chance for confusion quickly. He sat down cross legged and typed carefully with unprecedented seriousness, “God Lu, your good intentions leave me rather terrified. FTW is a very good team, and you’re a very excellent team leader, but due to my personal reasons, there’s really no way…”
He’d only just started this long discussion when Close sent over another image.
It held the time for the training match between L&P and FTW the day after tomorrow.
Wei Xiao stilled, and stopped typing.
Close: “If you come to watch the training match, it’s best to arrive an hour ahead of time.”
Close: “Don’t worry. The training match video can’t be released, but you won’t violate the rules if you watch it on the spot.”
Wei Xiao stared at these two lines of text and tasted them over and over again…

Then, he quickly deleted everything he’d typed and changed his message to, “……Are you inviting me to watch a training match at FTW?”
Close: “Mm.”
Wei Xiao: “…………………”
Close: “Or, if you can get up in the morning, I’ll show you around the base.”
At this time, Wei Xiao’s heart felt like it was riding a roller coaster, swooping up up up, then down down down, to the point where it was almost about to stop.
So, Close wasn’t inviting him to join FTW and was just inviting him to go to FTW and play?
Wei Xiao stared at that sentence––Do you want to come to FTW.
The word ‘join’ certainly wasn’t there.
That made sense, how could something so major like joining a team be asked so casually?

Wei Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Close: “The base has moved. It’s not easy to find a taxi here; I’ll arrange a car to pick you up.”
Wei Xiao paused again.
If it had been Old Bai who wanted to bring him to the FTW base, then he would never, ever go in this lifetime, even if he was beaten to death, even if he deleted Glory.
But now…
The person inviting him was Close, and he was even letting him watch the training match between FTW and last year’s world finals runner up L&P.
Wei Xiao couldn’t refuse.
He really wanted to watch the training match, and he didn’t have any way to refuse Close.
The one who’d flicked a hand and run off was him. When Close encountered him again, not only did he not beat him to death, he even treated him so kindly. Neither his reason or his emotions allowed him to refuse.

Wei Xiao shared a location with Close.
Close: “Go to bed early. See you the day after tomorrow.” The training match was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.
Wei Xiao: “Good night.”
Close: “Sweet dreams.”
After setting down the mobile phone, Wei Xiao’s entire body collapsed into the soft bed, boneless and loose.
It was just an invitation to watch a training match.
He raised up his forearm and covered his eyes, but he couldn’t cover up the sense of loss he felt from the bottom of his heart.
And what if Close had really been inviting him to play as a professional?
Could he agree?

No.
The words his grandmother had said while holding onto his hand on her deathbed were words he couldn’t forget for a lifetime––
