Did The Captain Catch Up With The Coach Today [Esports] Chapter 62

Chapter 62

When Wei Xiao decided to do something, it was always a matter of “do I want to” rather than “do I dare to.”

However, when it came to confessing his feelings to Wen Shi Yu, he retreated for the first time. He didn’t have the courage to face a future where Wen Shi Yu might reject him.

Therefore, he wanted to win the Global Finals championship first before dealing with this matter.

Winning the championship would not only increase the success rate of his confession, but even if he were rejected… at least he would have won the championship.

When Wei Xiao’s parents left, they ran into Wen Shi Yu’s older sister, Wen Ban Xia, at the door, and they chatted warmly for a while. It was mainly Wei Xiao’s mother talking to Wen Ban Xia, while Wei Xiao’s father quietly stood by.

During this time, Wen Shi Yu was distracted. It wasn’t until Wei Xiao’s parents completely disappeared from his sight that he found his voice and said to Wei Xiao beside him, “Your mother is indeed very lively.”

“Right?” Wei Xiao looked helpless. “My dad and I can’t do anything about her. They were originally supposed to leave last night, but my mom insisted on seeing you guys, so…”

Wen Shi Yu: “It’s fine. She’s just concerned about you.”

No, she was just curious—Wei Xiao countered in his mind.

“Want to see my room?” Wei Xiao suddenly asked.

Wen Shi Yu looked at him, not responding immediately, as if contemplating something.

Wei Xiao also couldn’t help but contemplate something… and hurriedly added, “It’s just… I have something I want to show you.”

Wei Xiao: I’m really not implying anything!

Wen Shi Yu did think of something he shouldn’t have, but it wasn’t that he thought Wei Xiao would take this opportunity to do something to him. Rather, he himself wanted to take this opportunity to do something.

But in the end, he only thought about it for a moment, then calmly said, “Okay.”

Wei Xiao led Wen Shi Yu upstairs.

Actually, he wouldn’t mind if the others from FHM followed them up, but perhaps they were attracted by the video game in the first-floor lobby. Although they noticed the two leaving, they all pretended not to see them and continued fighting over the controller.

Wen Ban Xia watched the two go upstairs, a hint of curiosity and worry flashing across her face, but she didn’t ask anything.

In the end, only Wei Xiao and Wen Shi Yu escaped the noisy crowd and arrived at the quiet solitude.

A chef was busy in the spacious kitchen downstairs, and the sound of the video game was loud. The second floor was empty and excessively quiet, with only the creaking sound of slippers on the wooden floor.

Wei Xiao walked ahead, introducing things to Wen Shi Yu as he went: “This is a bathroom, it has a shower. The bathtub is in the other bathroom. This is my parents’ room, but they rarely come back to stay because of work. My room is further ahead.”

Wen Shi Yu listened to his introduction and found it a bit funny, unable to resist teasing, “The way you’re talking, someone who didn’t know better would think I was staying the night at your place.”

“It’s not impossible?” Wei Xiao blurted out.

“Hmm?” Wen Shi Yu raised an eyebrow.

Wei Xiao turned to meet Wen Shi Yu’s gaze and smiled happily, “If you want to stay the night, of course you can. My house is big enough anyway.”

Wen Shi Yu: “No thanks, I didn’t bring a change of clothes.”

Wei Xiao: “Okay.”

Wei Xiao knew that Wen Shi Yu showered every day, even if it was just a quick rinse, and changed his clothes frequently. Sometimes he wore a different outfit seven days a week, like a clean and meticulous cat.

Arriving at his room, Wei Xiao pressed down the doorknob and pushed the door open. His private bedroom was presented before Wen Shi Yu, and a faint, elegant wood scent wafted out.

Contrary to Wen Shi Yu’s imagination, Wei Xiao’s room was a fresh, pastoral style. The desk, bookshelf, bed, and wardrobe were all light-colored wood. The floor and walls were snow white, and the entire room was filled with a bright, calming atmosphere.

However, in this fresh and bright room, there were two huge posters. One was a fan art of the Blade Shadow Dancer in a combat stance, full of visual tension. The other was Wen Shi Yu holding the champion trophy, wearing the EN team uniform. He had little expression on his face, and his eyes conveyed a god-like indifference. Someone who didn’t know better would think he was the one responsible for presenting the award, not the one who won the trophy.

Wen Shi Yu: “…”

Thanks, he was having an embarrassment attack.

“This is what you wanted to show me?” Wen Shi Yu asked, looking at his own poster.

“Sort of,” Wei Xiao nervously raised his hand to touch his nose. “I haven’t been back here since I joined the team. This is the first time… This poster was put up a long time ago. A year ago? Or two years ago? I forgot.”

Wen Shi Yu hummed, without much reaction.

When they first met, he knew Wei Xiao was his fan. It was perfectly normal for a fan to put up an idol’s poster in their room.

Wei Xiao cautiously observed his reaction and probed, “You are the first E-sports Player I ever liked, and the only one.”

This made Wen Shi Yu’s heart skip a beat, but… it was still fine. It was perfectly normal for a fan to like an idol.

Wei Xiao continued, “I thought that after I started playing E-sports, I might have a chance to meet you, but I didn’t expect this day to come so quickly and suddenly. Even now, it’s hard for me to believe you are standing right next to me.”

Wen Shi Yu was silent for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands together, showing a look of sudden realization: “Oh, I get it. You called me up here to confess.”

Wei Xiao: ?!

Yes… no… is it yes? Wait!

Wei Xiao panicked instantly. His mind went blank, his thoughts stopped, he was flustered, and his heart rate sped up uncontrollably.

Wen Shi Yu glanced at him from the corner of his eye, the corners of his lips slightly curved, showing pleasure mixed with a hint of mischief: “It’s normal to like me. I was indeed incredibly handsome in my first few years at EN, and I like myself too. But life, you know, has its ups and downs… Fortunately, I have you now. I’m counting on you to fulfill my dream for me.”

“Yes! I will work hard!” When Wei Xiao heard the words “fulfill my dream for me,” he instantly felt energized. The panic on his face was replaced by determination, and his eyes were bright as if glowing.

After responding to Wen Shi Yu, he immediately added, “Actually, you’ve always been handsome, not just in the first few years at EN. You were handsome later too, and you’re handsome now. You’ve always been this handsome.”

Wen Shi Yu was thankful that it was just the two of them right now, otherwise he might be so embarrassed he’d want to find a hole to crawl into.

He didn’t know why, perhaps influenced by the CP fan discussions, but whenever there were outsiders present, no matter what Wei Xiao said to him, he would feel a subtle discomfort.

However, when it was just him and Wei Xiao, not only did he not mind Wei Xiao saying these things to him, but he even felt an impulse to flirt back.

So, after a moment of silence, he responded in a gentle voice, “You’re handsome too. Handsome in and out of the game.”
