FCY Chapter 46

Insecure Qing Lu…

Inside the meeting room, Wu Xinshen and Qing Lu lingered, neither of them leaving.

Wu Xinshen sat by the computer in the meeting room, casually replaying the match videos. This was his habit; after the post-match review, he always watched the videos several more times, searching again and again for his own mistakes and the opportunities he missed during the match, enriching his Beast Master mind.

Qing Lu, for some reason, also remained seated, his eyes fixed on the desk, as if pondering something.

“Sniff… Sniff…”

A barely audible sob reached Wu Xinshen’s ears.

Wu Xinshen looked up and saw Qing Lu silently wiping away tears.

“What’s wrong?” Wu Xinshen was confused as to why a perfectly fine person would suddenly start crying.

“Nothing,” Qing Lu said, turning his head away so Wu Xinshen couldn’t see his face.

“Oh.” Wu Xinshen didn’t continue to bother Qing Lu, returning his attention to the video.

“Am I really that bad?” Not long after, Qing Lu suddenly started a barrage, “My skills are unbearable to watch, my reactions can’t keep up with everyone else, I…”

During the post-match review just now, more than a dozen mistakes were pointed out in Qing Lu’s match, more than Luo Yan and Wu Xinming’s mistakes combined. Qing Lu had been holding back, not crying, wanting to wait until everyone left the meeting room to hide in a corner and vent alone. But he didn’t expect Wu Xinshen to stay the entire time. Finally, he couldn’t hold back anymore, starting to mindlessly belittle himself.

“You are pretty bad,” Wu Xinshen said, speaking his mind truthfully, “So, what’s the use of crying? Knowing you’re bad and not practicing?”

Wu Xinshen couldn’t watch the video anymore with someone crying beside him. He copied the video to WeChat, preparing to go out to watch it, but after reaching the door, perhaps feeling a pang of conscience, he said, “But, being the substitute for SY, your strength must be stronger than many people. My brother, Zhu Zi, and Luo Yan all approve of you, so please don’t be self-deprecating, don’t let them down.”

Qing Lu stared blankly at the meeting room door, unable to recover for a long time. Wu Xinshen’s words stimulated and encouraged him. He was someone who had been insecure since childhood, always feeling that his abilities were not enough, that he didn’t deserve many things. When Zhu Zi placed the contract in front of him, he just felt like a pie had fallen from the sky. He thought his skills were very, very bad, and coming to SY as a trainee was just a try, wanting to be closer to his idol. But now, hearing these words from Wu Xinshen, the insecure person regained some confidence. It seemed like it wasn’t a pie falling from the sky after all; his strength seemed to be okay. So, Qing Lu, you have to work hard, you can’t let everyone down.

Qing Lu wiped away his tears with his sleeve, quickly returning to his seat, logging into the game, and practicing step by step according to the training tasks that Zhu Zi had given him on a piece of paper. He had a long road ahead of him in the future.

Wu Xinshen, who had returned to his seat before Qing Lu, saw this scene from the corner of his eye and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Not long after, Wu Xinming also returned to the training room, carrying a large bag of food in his hand. He placed the food on the table in the training room, then took out two bottles of water from the bag, placing one on Qing Lu’s desk and handing one to Wu Xinshen, “Here, bro.”

Wu Xinshen took it, returning Zhu Zi’s note to Wu Xinming, “See for yourself.”

“Thanks.”

Wu Xinming took the note and read it, it was less than he expected.

Wu Xinming put the note in his pocket, fumbled for a few packs of snacks from the bag, placed them next to the computer, and entered training mode.

“Luo Yan, there are snacks on the table, help yourself.”

Wu Xinming noticed Luo Yan and Cen Xi returning after finishing a game, reminding Luo Yan casually.

“Okay,” Luo Yan replied absentmindedly, returning to his seat. He was still thinking about what Cen Xi had said, “Open your heart?” Can it really work? But if I vent all my negative emotions, and you start to hate me, what should I do?

People who lack security are often cautious in a relationship.

Cen Xi walked to the table, based on his recent observations of Luo Yan, found a few things that Luo Yan liked to eat, and also took out the remaining two bottles of water from the bag, placing the snacks and water in the middle of Luo Yan’s and his own tables. The tables of every two people in SY are next to each other, without gaps.

“Yan Bao, let’s train.”

“Okay.”

Luo Yan picked up a bottle of water, opened it, took a sip, shook his head, threw away all his distracting thoughts, and wholeheartedly devoted himself to training.

Cen Xi thought for a while, opened a pack of snacks, pointing the snack bag at Luo Yan, ensuring that Luo Yan could reach it with a hand before entering training.
