Fu Yue felt like it wouldn't be long before his identity as No Inted Just Bad was confirmed by the netizens.
Fu Yue turned to the side, "Captain, you woke up a little later than usual."
Wei Chen put his tumbler aside as he opened the computer, he answered, "I didn't sleep much yesterday." Pausing for a bit, he added, "Have you already had your breakfast?"
Fu Yue nodded, "Seeing that you were running late, I made some pork congee. Do you want to have it now?"
Wei Chen gently shook his head, "No. I will eat after playing a few games. Let's queue."
However, even after saying this, Fu Yue didn't invite him to the party. Wei Chen looked over in puzzlement.
Seeing his confusion, Fu Yue sighed. He pointed at his damp hair, "At least dry your hair properly. It is already spring but you can still catch a cold. Wait here. I will bring the hair dryer."
Wei Chen was about to say that it was okay to let it be but Fu Yue was quicker and had already left his seat.
It didn't take long before Fu Yue came back to the training room.
Wei Chen could only accept the hair dryer and said thank you. He then went into the bathroom.
Fu Yue followed him just for fun but after seeing the other party go full blast on heat and almost press it to his scalp, he immediately intervened, "Wait!"
Wei Chen turned off the hair dryer and looked at him questioningly, "Why?"
Fu Yue directly took the hair dryer from his hand and said, "Do you mind me doing it for you?"
Wei Chen was stunned by his request. However, he would never say no to Fu Yue's invitation.
"I don't mind."
Having gotten the permission, Fu Yue readjusted the heat and kept the dryer moving at a certain distance away from his head.
Running his fingers through the silky black hair, he couldn't help but marvel that it felt much softer than he imagined.
Here, except for him and Yang Yuxuan, others wouldn't bother with hair care.
Wei Chen took good care of himself but not the point of being meticulous like Fu Yue.
Fu Yue has always considered his looks as his asset, therefore, he would take extra care of himself.
Especially after coming into this world, he was even more obsessed with taking care of his long hair.
Seeing Wei Chen treat his hair so roughly didn't sit right with him.
If that beautiful dark-inked hair were to be damaged, it would be a great sin to humankind!
Fu Yue taught, "Adjust the heat to medium at maximum. Keep the dryer moving at a distance of six to eight inches from your scalp to evenly distribute the heat. Don't keep it too close to your scalp or keep the dryer in one place for too long, you will risk damaging your hair!"
While listening to him, Wei Chen softly hummed. He squinted his eyes comfortably.
Feeling the heat on top of his head along with the sensation of his hair being brushed, Wei Chen who initially felt a bit unhappy at himself for being late suddenly felt grateful.
Unfortunately, his hair was not that wet to begin with and the drying service ended rather quickly.
After coming back, looking at that fluffy black hair, Fu Yue jokingly said, "Are you satisfied, customer?"
Wei Chen ran his fingers through his hair as if to check his hair condition and gave a light chuckle, "Satisfied. Thank you."
Just as Fu Yue was about to say 'you are welcome', Wei Chen smilingly added, "Can you dry my hair again next time?"
Fu Yue: "..."
[... Hello??? Are you guys treating us like air???]
[What am I watching? A morning routine of an esport couple???]
[Damn! Why are they doing it outside of the camera?!]
[Chenyue ship is sailing!!!]
[This is so sweet that I almost have diabetes.]
[Let's study the context behind Silence's last sentence: Can you dry my hair again next time? 1. He is roleplaying and merely praising him for doing such a good job. 2. Literally as it meant.]

Shortly after, #Can you dry my hair again next time?# was trending as the number 1 hot search making passerby confused.
Is this a new buzzword?
Meanwhile, Coach He got woken up by the PR leader and finally learned of this matter.
Pinching the space between his brows, Coach He groaned in defeat, "Let it be."
Hearing this, the PR leader was shocked, "Aren't we trying to push Silence's ambiguous relationship with that game anchor?"
Coach He scoffed, "I forgot to tell you. They are the same person."
The other side went silent for a long while before asking in a hesitant tone, "Those two… Are they?"
Coach He didn't want to admit it but it didn't look like Wei Chen was the only one who got tempted.
He tiredly sighed, "Not yet but get ready for it."
Realizing the gravity of the situation, the PR leader's tone grew serious. He reassured, "Don't worry. When they decide to go public, I will make sure nothing happens! Sorry to bother you early in the morning, please go back to sleep coach!"
Coach He: "..." Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
Thanks to Wei Chen's help, Fu Yue's rank improved by leaps and bounds.
After winning three games in a row, Wei Chen left to have his breakfast.
Fu Yue queued on his own while waiting for Wei Chen.
Halfway through, Wei Chen came back and stood behind Fu Yue to watch the game.
Glancing at the scoreboard, Fu Yue's team was far behind the enemy team in terms of economy.
The only gold lead was on Fu Yue's head.
Fu Yue has been a sensation on the internet lately so it was not strange for everyone in this game to recognize him.
Looking at the chat's messages, Wei Chen's eyes turned cold.
[Team] Radanh: I told you to go in, why didn't you go in?
[Team] Radanh: Having a gold lead, so what? If you don't fight, what's the point?
[Team] Radanh: This is why Omega shouldn't be playing games and just stay at home and look after children!
Fu Yue turned a blind eye to those insults and continued playing.
However, the chat was boiling in anger.
[Pei! Who the hell would go for that 2 vs 4 like an idiot?!]
[The more gold lead one has, the more cautious one has to be! It would be a disaster to give away 1k gold to the enemy team!]
[He is the jungler but keeps on dying before everyone else? Bro, how the hell is he in this elo? Did he get his account boosted???]
[Wow, seeing such an idiot early in the morning really ruined my day!]
[Xiao Si, don't take his words to heart! He is just salty to see that an Omega is playing much better than him!]
[Heh. He is obviously those straight A cancer who don't like listening to someone else and always thinks that he is right! #knife#]
[404 is really calm. If I were him, I would flip and curse his ancestors by now!]
Unbothered, Fu Yue controlled Chase to dodge the enemy Support's abilities and went in to grab the enemy's marksman.
Even though he was fighting 1 vs 2, Fu Yue didn't even break a sweat and cleanly killed both of them.
However, at the same time, the game announcement of his allies being killed popped up one after another.
His team lost in a 4 vs 3 fight on the other side of the map.
[Team] Radanh: Chase is freaking useless! We are fighting for the Saint, why the hell are you pushing the side lane???
[Team] Radanh: To think that you are a professional player, how embarrassing! You must've entered through the backdoor! Just retire!
[Ahhhhh report! Report that damn basta*ddddd]
[This is so disgusting!]
[Oh my god my blood pressure is rising…]
[I'll remember your ID, let's see how you will live after this!]
[Xiao Si killed two people who were the biggest threat on the enemy team making a 4 vs 3 situation in their favor but that guy screwed up and blamed it on Xiao Si!]
Knowing that the Saint was a lost cause, Fu Yue brought the line of soldiers and kept pushing.
The enemy team sent their top laner to stop him but it was of no use.
Not only did Fu Yue successfully break into the enemy base and get the inhibitor, but he even killed the enemy top laner.
Just as everyone thought he was retreating, he marched forward to the nexus turret.
[Wait! I don't think he can end the game!]
[If 404 were to die here, the game is over!]
As expected, after destroying one nexus turret, the enemy team arrived and started to attack him.
The enemy mid-laner was a marksman and the enemy jungler was an AP jungler, these two's damage output was incredibly high which was why everyone was worried about him.
Fu Yue started to retreat and the two quickly followed.
The moment the enemy mid-laner jumped in, Fu Yue immediately turned around.
He decisively flashed to dodge the skill tossed by the enemy jungler and threw his bandages at the enemy mid-laner.
His fingers flew rapidly executing the combo and used his item to root his opponent just as she was about to jump away to create distance.
[TM_404 has slain God Fairy!]
[Quadra Kill!]
Almost immediately, Fu Yue swiftly targeted the enemy jungler with his measly health.
[This is either he died alone or died together with the enemy jungler!]
[Either way, he couldn't end the game.]
"No. He can."
Wei Chen, who was watching from behind, calmly spoke up.
Just as his words fell, Chase pulled himself over to his opponent executing his combo before going golden almost instantly.
Activating the IP allowed him to dodge the enemy jungler's skill at point blank and at the same time, the enemy died to the explosion caused by his passive!
[TM_404 has slain Potato Agar!]
[PentaKill!]
[TM_404 is Legendary!]
[TM_404 has destroyed the enemy turret!]
[Victory!]
Before the game brought them back to the lobby, Fu Yue typed into the chat and Wei Chen couldn't help but smile after reading his message.
[Team] Chase: Play with your hands not your mouth ^^.
Everyone was thrilled and congratulated him with countless gifts.
Fu Yue leaned against the chair and threw his head back. Looking at his Captain's handsome profile from below, he smiled, "As expected, my jungler is the best."
Receiving his flattery, Wei Chen lowered his eyes to look at that dazzling face from above and his gaze darkened.
He knows that those words mean nothing but…
Ah. I really want to kiss him.
Wei Chen was alarmed by his own thoughts and unconsciously took a step back.
Seeing his odd reaction, Fu Yue sat back properly and turned around, "Captain, what's wrong?"
Wei Chen hastily avoided his gaze and said, "Nothing."
This is a standard answer for something that is definitely wrong. Fu Yue thought to himself.
Glancing at the bullet comments flying across the screen, Fu Yue attributed Wei Chen's attitude to the live broadcast and shrugged it off.
The two played rank for the whole morning and stopped when it was lunchtime.
After saying goodbye to the audience, Fu Yue stopped the live broadcast and turned to ask Wei Chen, "What do you want for lunch?"
Wei Chen paused for a bit before saying, "You can go ahead and eat. I will go catch some sleep. See you in the evening."
After dropping these words, Wei Chen swiftly walked away, not even waiting for Fu Yue's response.
Listening to the footsteps gradually fading away, Fu Yue blinked his eyes in confusion.
… Did the great-aunt visit him?
The following evening, Wei Chen didn't show up for the training, making everyone confused.
Yang Yuxuan glanced at Fu Yue, "Didn't the two of you act all lovey-dovey early this morning? What happened?"
The corner of Fu Yue's lips twitched, "I just helped him dry his hair, that's all."
Yang Yuxuan rolled his eyes, "Your so-called dry hair caused an uproar on the internet for a whole day, you know?"
Fu Yue immediately shut up. He once again experienced firsthand how strong Wei Chen's star power was.
All things aside, recalling Wei Chen's odd behavior, was worrisome.
"He is not his usual self today. I think he is unwell."
"Have you tried texting him?"
"I did but he said he is fine." Fu Yue sighed.
He even brought the dinner to him but he was told to leave it in front of his room.
Fu Yue was not sure why but he had an inkling feeling that Wei Chen was trying to avoid him.
However, no matter how much he racked his brain, he couldn't think of why the other side did this.
Fu Yue turned off his computer and took his emptied milk tea cup to throw it in the trash bin.
"I am going now. Good night."
Zhao Fu and Li Haoran were in the middle of playing so only Yang Yuxuan waved his hand at him, "Good night."
Fu Yue had just entered his room and was about to take a shower when a few knocks were heard coming from the balcony.
He walked over and pulled the curtains aside only to see a tall towering figure standing outside the door.
Fu Yue widened his eyes in shock, "Captain?"
After recognizing him, he hurriedly opened the glass door completely overlooking the fact why the other side was even here, to begin with.
The moment the door was opened, the cool scent of fresh snow immediately rushed to his nose reminding him of the winter.
At this moment, Fu Yue finally realized something was wrong.
No. This is not the smell of the season but this is Wei Chen's pheromones…
Just as he thought of this, Wei Chen suddenly leaned closer.
"Wha–"
Fu Yue exclaimed in shock but the rest of his words were blocked as his lips were sealed by another pair of soft lips.
