Chapter 20. When Irritability Meets Cowardice.

¹This stands for Attack Damage Carry. An AD Carry plays in the bottom lane and is one of the team’s two primary damage dealers. The AD Carry focuses mainly on ranged, auto-attack based Champions that can deal a lot of damage from a distance. Similar to mages, AD Carries must be properly protected from the enemy team.

Luo Buyu hastily introduced Yu Qinghuan, “Qinghuan, this is our team’s Qi Huai, Qi as neat, and Huai, the one with accurate words, playing the ADC position. Qi Huai, this is our new mid laner²In case anyone forgot, the mid laner plays in the middle lane and is often thought of as the starring role of the team. Because they are in the middle of everything, they can quickly get to any point on the map to assist their teammates. Mid lane champions are usually one of the team’s two main damage dealers. Their goal is to kill the enemy team quickly and often. Most mid lane champions use a lot of abilities rather than auto-attacks. .”

Yu Qinghuan looked at the person in front of him.

The boy in front of him was very tall, visually measuring 5’8″,  with his hair was combed back. He had a very eye-catching earring on his ear and wore a black leather jacket with silver studs, a shirt with a pattern of a lion with a bloody mouth, and trousers covered in small silver chains.

The boy had a piece of gauze on the left side of his face, a band-aid on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were a little bloodshot, as if he had just been in a fight with someone.

Yu Qing Huan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

If he had met the boy in front of him in the alley, he would have taken him for a delinquent youth who had come to rob him.

The boy put his hands in his pockets and said coldly, “Hello, my name is Qi Huai. I have a bad temper, so if I speak impulsively in the future, please bear with me. “

Qi Huai tensed up and said, “No, I’m used to it.”

Luo Buyu sighed inaudibly again.

Qi Huai said no more. He turned on his computer, put on his headphones, and logged into the game.

Luo Buyu pointed to the third table, “Qinghuan, this is your spot from now on. Our team’s support and playing field are both students, so they will come later. “

Yu Qinghuan responded by sitting down on the gaming chair. He lowered his head and reached out to touch the gaming mouse.

The familiar and unfamiliar mechanical feeling made Yu Qinghuan sigh tersely.

Qi Huai inclined his head to look at Yu Qinghuan, took off his headset, and said, “These are the ones left over from the previous mid laner. Try using them. Tell me if you’re not used to using them. I’ll buy you new ones. “

Yu Qinghuan was stunned: “You’re buying them for me?”

Qi Huai nodded his head and gave a cool hmph.

When the door was pushed open once again, Yu Qinghuan was about to ask: Why would you buy them for me?

In walked a timid boy.

The boy was carrying a shoulder bag and was walking towards the fourth table with the anime figures. He kept his head down, and he didn’t even notice that there was a strange face like Yu Qinghuan in the room.

Luo Buyu saw the visitor and introduced him with a smile, “Qinghuan, this is our family’s support³Within a team, the Support is one of the two champions assigned to the bottom lane alongside the Bottom Carry. This role’s initial goal is to assist their more vulnerable teammates through the earliest stages of the game, and it is a position that suits champions with either utility, disengage or high base damage. The Support is also expected to be the primary contributor to the team’s vision., Liu Manman, who is in his third year of university this year. Although he is studying, he is currently in the school internship period, and his training will not fall behind. “

Only then did Liu Manman realise there was a new face.

Yu Qinghuan just sat on his left and smiled kindly, “Hello, I’m the new mid laner. My name is Yu Qinghuan, metaphorical Yu…”

Liu Manman picked up, “The taste of the world is Qinghuan?”

Yu Qinghuan nodded: “Yes, yes, yes.”

Liu Manman scratched his head in embarrassment and said, in a small voice, “Hello, hello.”

“Why are you so late today?” Qi Huai, who was sitting on Liu Manman’s right side, turned his head and looked very fierce, with a pair of sharp brows knitted together.

Liu Manman looked at Qi Huai nervously. His eyes fell on the gauze on his left side of his face, and he froze, not saying anything for a while.

“Say something, what are you staring at?” Qi Huai kicked the gaming chair Liu Manman was sitting on.

Only then did Liu Manman come back: “Ah …… I …… I …… just …… to class.”

“Oh.” Qi Huai responded.

“Your side…”, “this side…” Liu Manman reached out and pointed at Qi Huai’s injured face, “Did you get… again….”

Qi Huai slapped Liu Manman’s hand away: “Don’t point blindly. It’s fine. Hurry up on the game, and train with me in a double lane.”

Liu Manman tugged on his shoulder bag, which he hadn’t put down, and seemed to be thinking about something. Finally, he said hesitantly, “I …… I …… have something to ask the captain…”

“Go quickly, don’t dawdle.” Qi Huai said, as he looked at Liu Manman and reached out to tug on Lui Manman’s bag. “Put the bag down. Why do you keep carrying it, ah! Isn’t it heavy?”

Liu Manman stumbled as he was tugged, placing his shoulder bag on the gaming chair. He got up and walked over to Luo Buyu, “Team, captain, I, something, want to talk to you.”

“Oh, okay.” Luo Buyu looked at Liu Manman.

Liu Manman cautiously glanced at Qi Huai out of the corner of his eyes and said, “Can you, go, go to the pantry and talk.”

“Sure, come over.” Luo Buyu got up and walked into the pantry with Liu Manman, closing the door behind him.

Yu Qinghuan withdrew his curious gaze and suddenly heard Qi Huai say to him fiercely, “Liu Manman, he has a bit of a stutter. Remember to be patient when talking to him.”

Yu Qinghuan: “… Okay boss, no problem boss.”

In the pantry, Luo Buyu folded his arms, looked at Liu Manman, and asked, “Student Liu Manman, what matter are you looking for me for?”

“Team …… captain ……” Liu Manman hesitated several times, looking embarrassed, as if something was choked in his neck, and he couldn’t spit it out.

Luo Buyu was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

Finally, Liu Manman plucked up his courage and took a deep breath, “Team, captain, I, I don’t want to play e-sports anymore ……”

Luo Buyu froze, and the arms he had folded were lowered. He didn’t speak for a long time.

The silence made Liu Manman more and more uncomfortable as he said, “Team …… captain …… sorry…….”

Luo Buyu clenched his fists slightly but still persuaded patiently: “Manman, there is just half a month left in the game. I finally found the mid laner. If you leave… our game is really… just… …”

Luo Buyu couldn’t say anymore.

Liu Manman didn’t make a sound. He just kept pinching his hands until they were filled with blood red marks.

Luo Buyu let out a long sigh, nodded, and said, “I know, does Qi Huai know about this?”

Liu Manman shook her head.

Luo Buyu said, “When are you going to talk to him?”

Liu Manman shook his head again.

“Manman, when you break it off, you will suffer from the chaos. There are some things you should say earlier.” Luo Buyu said this, got up and walked towards the corridor, “I’m going to have a cigarette ……”

“Captain, I’m sorry …… ……” Liu Manman choked with his head bowed.

Luo Buyu waved his hand and walked towards the corridor.

Liu Manman hesitated in place for a long time, bowed his head and walked out of the pantry, sitting back in the fourth position on the gaming chair.

Qi Huai urged, “Finally, you’re back. Hurry up and get on the game.”

Liu Manman didn’t say anything and didn’t move.

Qi Huai tilted his head to look at Liu Manman. His gaze fell on his pinched hands with nail marks. His voice was a little softer, and he asked, seemingly casually, “What’s wrong? What happened? Why didn’t the captain come back?”

Liu Manman finally raised his head and looked unusually calm: “Qi …… Qi Huai …… I don’t want to play e-sports …… “

Qi Huai froze for a full three seconds.

Yu Qinghuan, who heard this, also paused and sighed softly. But before he could sigh, Qi Huai suddenly smashed the mouse in his hand to the ground!

The mouse hit the ground with a loud noise. Yu Qinghuan shivered with fear. He saw Qi Huai fiercely getting up and yanking Liu Manman’s collar with a deadly grip. His jaw dropped.

“F*ck [muffled], Liu Manman! What do you mean you don’t want to play e-sports anymore?! What the fuck do you mean?! Saying you don’t want to play and you just don’t play?! Are you fucking high?! What the hell are you doing?!”
