Coming back into his room, Wei Chen casually typed a few words in the group chat to inform his teammates about their new Mid Laner.
Done, he put his phone on silent and then went to take a shower figuring that he should take a short nap to relieve his fatigue.
Wei Chen didn't go into detail with Fu Yue on how he was able to obtain such a contract. He made it sound easy but in reality, he has exerted a lot of effort to fight for Fu Yue. As a result, he barely closed his eyes ever since yesterday.
While Wei Chen was staying in his room, the rest of TM's players were having lunch in the dining room.
Li Haoran was the first to see their Captain's message. He couldn't help but let out a sigh, "Aiya, Captain is indeed omnipotent. Who would have thought that simply by going to watch the game he just happened to pick up a powerful Mid Laner?"
Hearing his lament, Zhao Fu who woke up not long ago was utterly confused, "What are you talking about?"
Li Haoran excitedly leaned closer to show Zhao Fu a clip from Cheap Grass. At the same time, he recounted the story from the beginning to the end.
Last night, after finishing his homework, he got a glimpse of the video that Yang Yuxuan was watching. Noticing that it was their potential new teammate's livestream, he decided to watch the game together.
Li Haoran inevitably caught sight of Yueyue's duo ID and was momentarily stunned.
Why does this person have the same ID as his Captain's alt account?
He thought that he might have remembered it wrong. But this notion was soon shattered after witnessing 009's manner of speech and his playstyle.
No wonder, his Support looked as if he was watching something so amusing...
Seeing his Captain personally chasi- Ahem scouting someone was indeed a rare sight.
At first, Li Haoran watched with the mood of joining the fun. At some point, he was amazed by these two's dynamic.
Had he not known beforehand that Yueyue and his Captain were strangers a little while ago he would have thought that these two were old partners that have played with each other for a long time.
Not even Xieyu, a three-year partner could keep up with their Captain's rhythm!
In addition, seeing their interactions, even Li Haoran who has never shipped his Captain with anyone felt that this CP could be knocked and it was really sweet.
At present, knowing that everything was settled, Li Haoran was extremely excited to welcome another big brother.
Even Zhao Fu felt incredulous while listening to Li Haoran's explanation, "I really couldn't wait to meet our new player!"
"Oh? You've already found a replacement for me?"
Suddenly hearing a mocking voice coming from the doorway, everyone's mood instantly dropped.
Seeing their somewhat uncomfortable expressions, Xieyu sneered, "I haven't even moved out yet, and you all couldn't wait to chase me out?"
Toward his accusations, Yang Yuxuan let out a light chuckle, "Correction. It was you who couldn't wait to leave."
Having someone to remind him that he was the one who betrayed the team first, Xieyu's face went red due to shame. However, he would never admit that he was wrong, "I am in the wrong? I have been working for TM for three years and have gained no results! I even carried the pot of jinxing the team! TM doesn't do well? Then it is because I am the problem! Why don't they talk about any of you? For example, ever since Silence became the Captain TM has never gotten good results!"
Zhao Fu who was usually a mild-tempered person at this moment unexpectedly raised his voice, "Xieyu, watch what you are saying!"
Xieyu abruptly woke up due to his loud voice and realized that he had a slip of the tongue. A pang of guilt stabbed his conscience but he still refused to apologize.
Giving the three one last glare, he turned around intending to go upstairs to take his belongings and quickly leave this place before running into the Captain.
Yet, the moment Xieyu turned his head he was immediately met with a pair of steady light blue eyes gazing back at him.
Xieyu instinctively took a step back. He nervously called out, "C-Captain..."
Not knowing to what extent has the other party heard of their conversation, Xieyu's back started to break out in a cold sweat. His eyes guiltily darted to the floor, not daring to look at the tall handsome man.
Although he had been playing with Silence for three years, he couldn't help but tense up whenever they were facing each other face to face.
One point was due to imposing aura as a Dominant Alpha and another was that this person's status was far above his.
Xieyu debuted in the same year as Silence but the latter has always been in the limelight while he, himself was shrouded in the dark.
Feeling unfair, he secretly condemned the Captain in his heart for his disappointment. But when all was said and done, Xieyu didn't want to directly tear his face with him.
He knew that he should say something but in the face of this suffocating pressure, he could only stand rigidly as if waiting for a final verdict.
A few seconds had only passed after he called out to the other party but it felt like ages for him. When his mind was stretched taut, the man unhurriedly descended the stairs.
The man's steady footsteps seemed to directly step on Xieyu's heart slowly but firmly. By the time, the man was standing a few steps away from him, Xieyu tightly closed his eyes with clenched fists readying to hear the upcoming mockery.
And yet, what came next was not a criticism but simply a heartfelt parting.
"Thanks for your hard work. I wish you a bright future and take care."
Hearing no fluctuation in his voice, Xieyu felt even more ashamed of himself.
If another person were to speak these words, he would think that they are being sarcastic. But, coming from Silence, Xieyu knew that he was speaking truthfully.
At this moment, he wished that the other party had scolded him instead so that he wouldn't have to feel this horrible.
Xieyu was unable to bring himself to stay here any longer. He hastily said a few words before fleeing upstairs to take his suitcase, "You too, Captain."
During their brief exchange, the other three said nothing but they all stood up to send their former teammate away at the entrance as a courtesy.
Xieyu couldn't lift his head to look at his former teammates and directly left without even saying goodbye.
Wei Chen said no more. He climbed the stairs intending to catch the sleep that was interrupted a while ago.
Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Zhao Fu worriedly asked, "Maybe Captain didn't hear Xieyu's words?"
In the next second, Yang Yuxuan cruelly shattered his illusion, "As long as Captain opened his door, he can hear our voices even from upstairs."
Zhao Fu immediately became dejected like a deflated balloon. Li Haoran, on the sideline, quickly comforted him, "Old Ge, stop worrying too much! Who is our Captain? He is someone who has already gone through countless ups and downs unlike us, mortals ah!"
Unexpectedly, Yang Yuxuan also agreed with his ADC, "That's right. Captain Wei is as stable as Mt. Tai. No need to worry about him."
Feeling that their words were reasonable, Zhao Fu could only scratch his head and followed them back to the dining room.
Back to Fu Yue's side, he was unaware of the situation in TM's base. He happily shared the news with his big brother.
Not long after, Fu Zhen gave him a call. He was not stingy and praised him, "Not bad. You grab a good contract. Did you negotiate with them by yourself?"
Fu Yue immediately denied it, "No. Silence is the one who did everything."
Did not expect to hear this name out of nowhere, Fu Zhen suspected that he heard things wrongly. His voice was full of doubts, "... Silence? You mean that Wei Chen, Captain of TM?"
His big brother's disbelief was understandable. Even at this moment, Fu Yue still felt a bit unreal in attracting such a Big Buddha as Silence.
"I know it is unbelievable but it is indeed him."
Fu Zhen was flabbergasted, "How did the two of you even meet?"
When it came down to this, Fu Yue meaningfully said with smiling eyes, "You were there when we met not long ago."
Fu Zhen was a smart man. He connected all the pieces and bits before figuring out the ins and outs almost instantly.
It was just that it was hard to believe this freak coincidence.
Not to mention, since when was that wooden kid so smooth in chasing someone?!
Recalling all the bad things he said on the phone about Wei Chen, Fu Zhen's expression became a bit awkward.
Precisely because Wei Chen was one of the few juniors that he acknowledged. Whether be it his outstanding temperament or his good character, he had it all.
It was hard to believe that this mature young man was the same age as his little brother. His impression further deepened after Wei Chen flatly rejected his offer to be scouted as an artist under his company.
Knowing his proper conduct as a Dominant A, Fu Zhen felt more at ease entrusting his little brother to TM otherwise, he wouldn't bring up TM to his little brother in the first place.
However, Fu Zhen didn't place much hope for his little brother to be able to sign with TM. The threshold was too high and he was not confident that he was able to get in with his skills.
Unexpectedly, he underestimated his little brother's ability.
Since even Wei Chen acknowledged him then there was no doubt about his little brother's gaming skills.
At this moment, Fu Zhen felt like a stone was lifted from his chest. He generously said, "Tell me what you want to eat. I will bring you to eat out for dinner."
Then as if remembering something, Fu Zhen glanced in a certain direction. He lightly added, "Right, is it okay with you if Ye Heng were to come along? Hmm, OK. See you later."
Seeing that Fu Zhen finally hung up the call, Ye Heng said with a raised eyebrow, "Hey, I thought you wouldn't want me to meet Xiao Yue. What is the occasion?"
Hearing his inquiry, the corner of Fu Zhen's lips bent appearing to be in a good mood, "Remember Wei Chen?"
At this familiar name, Ye Heng briefly paused. A slight frown appeared on his handsome face, "What? You are still not over that kid?"
Hearing him speak nonsense, Fu Zhen glared at his friend, "Speak properly. You said as if I have a thing for that kid."
Ye Heng was not afraid of him, he continued to provoke, "Who was the one that became salty for several days from a rejection?"
Since this matter was brought up, Fu Zhen was not one to be trifled with either. He relaxedly leaned against the back of the swirling chair. With a smirk on his handsome face, he struck back, "Oh? Who was the one who became moody for several months simply because I was trying to raise another artist? Who is that stinky brat?"
Ye Heng's smug expression froze. His eyes were dodging to the side as he changed the topic, "So what about him?"
Fu Zhen was in a good mood so he easily let his friend off the hook, "He is scouting Ah Yue to be his teammate. The negotiation is already done. Ah Yue only needs to go there and sign the contract."
Ye Heng was genuinely happy to hear this news. Even though they were not close due to their genders, Ye Heng sincerely regarded Fu Yue as his little brother.
In addition, his only friend kept mentioning his little brother nonstop so Ye Heng could be more or less up to date about Fu Yue's situation including his amnesia.
Unlike Fu Zhen whose head was biased toward his little brother, Ye Heng was more rational. He worriedly said, "Will Xiao Yue be okay going to another city alone?"
Even though he didn't have a filter on like his friend, it was undeniable that their little Omega brother's appearance was outstanding.
Ye Heng couldn't sit still letting their white rabbit hop into an unknown place by himself.
Who knows how many people are going to stare at him once he is left alone? Just like how he was almost gotten advantage of by that scum in the past.
Remembering this matter, a dangerous glint briefly flashed in Ye Heng's beautiful peach-blossom eyes.
He should have beaten him harder, what a shame.
Fu Yue didn't know this but Fu Zhen was speaking truthfully when he told him that he didn't beat his former friend's boyfriend with his own hands.
Since that guy had already been beaten half-dead by the time he found him.
Fu Zhen wished to vent his anger but he felt like he might kill him if he were to punch him once. In the end, he could only stuff him into the jail.
