Big Account and Small Account

Big Account and Small Account

“Brother, why did you stay abroad to compete?” Luo Yan pulled Cen Xi into the restroom. Cen Xi said he had signed a confidentiality agreement regarding this matter, so it was best not to let anyone hear what he was about to say.

“My sister wouldn’t let me go back.” Cen Xi pursed his lips. “My psychological issues were too severe back then. My sister was afraid I’d be triggered again if I went back. She said if I wanted to compete, I could stay abroad, but with one condition: I couldn’t show my face. That’s how the masked sniper came to be.”

“So WSW could pull a switcheroo, and the fans wouldn’t know. Little Pu inherits my account, reveals part of his face, and gains fans. What team manager wouldn’t want that?”

Cen Xi was reluctant to part with the account, but the agreement he signed stipulated that the account belonged to the team, and he couldn’t take it with him.

Cen Xi smiled, a mixture of helplessness and resignation.

A game account is a professional player’s lifeblood. That’s why, even though Cen Xi had been gone from SY for three years, Luo Yan had tirelessly managed Cen Xi’s account. Even though his own sniping skills weren’t great, he’d at least kept the account from stagnating three years ago.

Listening to Cen Xi’s description, Luo Yan felt a pang of heartache. Two grown men squeezed into a single stall. Luo Yan didn’t even need to move; he could easily reach out and hug Cen Xi.

Cen Xi hadn’t expected Luo Yan to hug him so suddenly. He instinctively returned the embrace. “Yanbao, what’s wrong?”

“I just wanted to hug you.” Many things of Cen Xi’s had been guarded by Luo Yan like treasures, but now one of those treasures was being “forced” from Cen Xi. Luo Yan was displeased, and he felt sorry for Cen Xi.

“It’s just a small account. Aren’t you guarding the big one for me?” Cen Xi softly consoled. “I don’t care about it anymore. Though, back then, I was truly reluctant to leave the account behind.”

“Two paths: one, stay for the account; two, abandon the account and return home to contribute to the country’s e-sports scene. Luckily, I chose the second path, which allowed me to meet you again.”

“So, you see, isn’t abandoning a small account worth it? I not only found my big account again but also my lover.”

“You have to give to get, right?”

After Cen Xi finished speaking, Luo Yan found his words to be particularly reasonable. The heartache in his heart vanished completely.

With the bad mood gone, Luo Yan released Cen Xi. “Brother, let’s go. Zhu Zi and the others are still waiting for us.”

Used and discarded, Cen Xi smiled without a word. But just as Luo Yan was about to open the stall door, Cen Xi grabbed him and pulled him back. “It’s okay, let them wait a little longer.”

Cen Xi lowered his head and kissed him. The kiss was very gentle, not forcefully intrusive, but gradually coaxing Luo Yan, allowing him to drop his guard.

“What did you guys go do? Xi-ge, Yan Yan, the match just ended, you left a message and then vanished.” The audience had all left, and Wu Xinming, Zhu Zi, Wu Xinshen, and Qing Lu were squatting by the wall outside the venue, waiting for Luo Yan and Cen Xi, who were still inside.

“Nothing much, just met an old friend.” Cen Xi didn’t specify, and the others didn’t press him.

“It shouldn’t have been just meeting an old friend.” Wu Xinming stared at Luo Yan’s lips, which were not only very red but also had a small cut.

“Just… just accompanied Brother to meet someone, really.” Luo Yan noticed Wu Xinming’s gaze and lowered his head slightly to keep Wu Xinming from seeing his mouth.

“Yan Yan Captain is still shy? Haven’t you and Xi-ge kissed in public countless times?” Wu Xinming teased.

Luo Yan’s face flushed.

“Say less, Wu Xinming.” Cen Xi’s tone was serious, but the smile on his face was hard to suppress.

“Understood, Xi-ge!”

“Let’s go, Wu Xinming.” Wu Xinshen grabbed Qing Lu with one hand and patted Wu Xinming’s shoulder from behind, strolling towards the hotel.

“Wait for me, bro!” Wu Xinming chased after them.

Zhu Zi, Luo Yan, and Cen Xi walked in a row behind them.

At this moment, the setting sun shone on their six figures, casting long, drawn-out shadows on the ground.
