Ch.11 – Does Love at First Sight Exist in Esports?

Yao Sen raised an eyebrow, “How are we not alike?”

“I don’t know Caesar either–I’ve only seen his matches” Shao Han said, “From his games, he’s more individualistic than you are.”

“But people often say that he and I have similar playing styles.”

“The same game will be somewhat similar no matter who plays it, won’t it? After all, some techniques are universal,” Shao Han replied, his faint voice carrying a convincing persuasiveness. “You don’t need to care about what others say. Most people will think that because they’re just jealous that someone so young can be so strong, and they’ll automatically think that you’re copying someone.”

Yao Sen looked at Shao Han steadfastly, and suddenly blurted out a question without much thought, “Have you ever had a girlfriend?”

Shao Han was stunned, then confirmed that he had heard correctly, “…I haven’t.”

“Then how did you practice your coaxing skills?” Yao Sen said with a smile that was unlike a smile. “It’s really too strong, it seems that you’ve persuaded me.”

Shao Han was inwardly depressed, does Yao Sen still need someone to coax him like this?

Yao Sen smiled with relief, “I appreciate both the consolation and the commercial flattery.”

Shao Han was helpless, “It’s not consolation or commercial flattery, it’s the truth.”

Yao Sen stopped teasing him and laughed lightly, then said, “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.”

“You’ve actually never had a girlfriend? Unbelievable.”

“No.”

Yao Sen thought inwardly, No girlfriend, then is there a boyfriend?

That night, when Yao Sen was changing into his sneakers in front of his dorm room, Wang Yuxi came out of the bathroom in pajamas and a toothbrush in his mouth, “Are you going out for a run again?”

“Mm.”

“Do night runs really help with insomnia?”

“It’s all right,” Yao Sen said, “at least my muscles get a workout. I don’t have just one round abs like yours.”

“Fuck! Laozi is going to sign up for a fitness class tomorrow! And where are my round abs? Feel them yourself if you don’t believe me!”

Under Wang Yuxi’s strong request, Manager Guo actually truly believed his “your body is an asset to gaming”, this extravagantly bullshit excuse, and bought the Titans members annual membership cards for Yiyou Building’s state-of-the-art gym.

The first time Wang Yuxi set foot in the gym, he solemnly swore that he could do more than twenty chin-ups. Yet after only ten, he was already gasping for breath and lying on his stomach, his whole body shaking on the floor.

Yao Sen scowled at him, “Aren’t you ashamed that your arm strength is this bad for an esports athlete?”

“Esports isn’t like discus-throwing, okay! I use my wrist, not my whole arm! If you’re so good, then you do it!”
