Chapter 417: Former E-sports Genius Male Supporting Role & Cannon Fodder Companion 13
During this period, he had actually been secretly observing Qin Xiao's gaming dynamics.
Since that incident, Qin Xiao has hardly ever played games again, let alone teamed up with anyone.
But in recent days, his ID has been frequently showing up, and he plays duo with the anchor named Wenrou every night.
Qi Yu looked at the long-lost "online" status in his friend list, and his heart finally relaxed a little.
Qin Xiao was first introduced to the e-sports circle by his college classmate Qi Yu.
At that time, they were brothers living in the same dormitory. Qi Yu knew that Qin Xiao was extremely talented, so he insisted on dragging him into playing professionally.
Qin Xiao had initially just been playing around, but he'd unexpectedly made it all the way to the top league, even becoming a core player for the team. But then... those things happened.
——Only Qi Yu knew what happened later, and Qin Xiao was not wrong.
Public opinion was overwhelming, and everyone accused Qin Xiao of "backstabbing his teammates" and "being violent and selfish," but Qi Yu knew better than anyone that the truth was not like that at all.
Qin Xiao was wronged, but he didn't make any excuses. He just quit the team and never participated in a professional competition again.
——After what happened, Qi Yu actually felt uncomfortable. He knew that Qin Xiao had never really let it go.
Over the years, Qi Yu felt like a stone was pressing on his heart as he watched Qin Xiao transform from a high-spirited professional player to what he is now.
He knew that Qin Xiao had not let it go, otherwise he would not even touch the game, let alone avoid the team base.
——Qi Yu has actually been looking for an opportunity to let Qin Xiao let go of what happened in the past.
He tried many methods, such as asking Qin Xiao to drink, organizing a game, and even directly bringing up what happened that year, but nothing worked.
Until one day, he stumbled upon Wen Rou on a live streaming platform—a new streamer with excellent skills and a gentle personality. An idea struck him, and he tried to connect them. To his surprise… Qin Xiao actually agreed to play games with her.
——"We have a competition in a while. If you want, you can bring me to watch it. After all, you two will have something in common if you play games and watch the competition together."
Qi Yu spoke carefully, his tone relaxed, but his eyes were fixed on Qin Xiao's reaction. He didn't really hold out much hope, after all, Qin Xiao hadn't even watched live matches in recent years, let alone been to the event.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
——Qin Xiao didn't say he agreed or disagreed, but just changed the subject and asked, "How did you meet Wenrou?"
Qi Yu and Qin Xiao are much older than Wenrou. When Qin Xiao and Qi Yu were classmates, they didn't know that he had such a sister.
Qi Yu was stunned. He didn't expect Qin Xiao to ask this suddenly.
When Qi Yu thought that Wenrou was the anchor he knew from watching live broadcasts, he couldn't help feeling guilty and started to stammer.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu's Adam's apple rolled twice unnaturally, his fingers tapped the table unconsciously, and his eyes wandered for a moment: "Well..."
His reaction was too obvious. Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes and tapped his knuckles on the table: "Hmm?"
With just this one syllable, Qi Yu was immediately defeated.
"Okay, okay..." He scratched his hair, his voice getting lower and lower, "Actually, I discovered this when I was watching the live broadcast... That girl has good skills and a good personality, so I thought..."
Qin Xiao didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
Qi Yu felt uncomfortable under the gaze and decided to throw in the towel: "Lao Qin, I just want you to get over that hurdle in your heart! And that girl is so cute, you didn't suffer any loss, did you?" He then muttered softly, "You've had a lot of fun these days..."
He already felt that he had let Qin Xiao down, so when Qin Xiao asked him a little, he told him everything.
Qin Xiao said "hmm" in an ambiguous tone, but his hand honestly opened the App Store.
He registered an account and started the live broadcast in a not very skillful way.
Seeing a string of new viewers with numbers on their heads entering the live broadcast room, Wenrou greeted them.
&34；欢迎88~&34；她甜笑着念出最后两位数字，直播间顿时炸出一片&34；哎&34；&34；在呢&34；的弹幕。
Qin Xiao looked at the barrage of comments on the screen that were full of people taking advantage of others, and his brows unconsciously frowned.
At this moment, a dazzling rocket effect streaked across the screen, followed by a message that read: "Host, please imitate a cat's meow~"
Wenrou has been an anchor for a while and has become very proficient in her job.
Today she was wearing a cat-ear costume with cute whiskers painted on her face. When she saw someone brushing a rocket, she raised her paw and scratched her face: "Meow~ Meow~" She tilted her head, her eyes curved into crescents, and said, "Thank you, boss, for the rocket~"
Qin Xiao, on the other side of the screen, pursed his lips, his ears honestly blushing. He stared at Wen Rou, who smiled so carefreely, for a long while before silently clicking the follow button.
Qin Xiao's fingertips paused on the phone screen for a few seconds before finally clicking on Wenrou's profile. Her livestream replays were neatly arranged, the latest one titled "Rank Up with a Mysterious Boss." For some reason, he clicked on it.
Wenrou in the picture was making a heart shape with her hands to the camera: "I matched with a super awesome guy today! Although he didn't use the microphone, his operation was really cool~" She held her cheek, her eyes sparkling, "It's a pity that he went offline after the match. I hope to meet him again tomorrow!"
This episode happens to be the one where Qin Xiao was tricked by Qi Yu and played games with Wenrou for the first time.
Later, Qin Xiao and Wenrou played many games, and Wenrou only did a live broadcast that time.
The subsequent live videos were all live broadcasts of Wenrou playing games with others as a substitute player.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao couldn't help but frown, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Hello, hello, hello? Lao Qin, are you still there? I seemed to hear the voice of Wenrou just now? Did you go to watch her live broadcast?" Qi Yu said on the other end of the phone, as if he had discovered a new world.
"Did you pay her to play with me?" Qin Xiao suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Qi Yu's voice weakened again. "Yeah, yes, it cost me a lot of money. Lao Qin, do you think I'm a good friend? Oh, I found that I have something else to do. Let's talk about it another time. Um, I'll save the tickets for the game for you. If you want to bring Wenrou, remember to tell me and I'll save the best seats for you."
