Meeting New Teammates

Li Haoran swiftly parked his bicycle in the garage. Rushing into the main building, he came to a stop in the living room upon bumping into his Support and Top Laner.

His eyes lit up. He excitedly spoke out while pulling out his phone, "Have you heard? Weibo is in a rage due to spotting a celebrity couple secretly meeting in our A city airport!"

Zhao Fu took his eyes off the television as he became curious about Li Haoran's news, "Who are they?"

Meanwhile, Yang Yuxuan gave a slight shake of his head as he had no interest in this type of gossip. However, Li Haoran, the excited fool shoved his phone right in front of his face forcing him to see the picture that was displaying on the screen.

With one glance, Yang Yuxuan's gaze was immediately fixed on the screen. There was a hint of surprise in his originally lazy eyes.

Sadly, Li Haoran didn't notice his odd behavior, he enthusiastically commented, "The picture was taken from afar and only the face of the silver-haired beauty was vaguely seen. Their identities were unknown but most are convinced that they are celebrities."

While immersing in the gossip he failed to notice several footsteps looming from behind and continued to say, "Just look at those heights, bodies, and faces. It would be weird if they were not public figures. Tut tut I swear that these guys have a built-in beauty filter! Otherwise, how can they look so unrealistic?!"

Zhao Fu's face stiffened. He who has also seen the picture as well as the approaching figures immediately clamped his mouth shut. On the other hand, Yang Yuxuan's lips bent. He meaningfully led the conversation, "They might simply be friends."

Li Haoran looked speechlessly at his Support, "Ge, look. How the boyfriend took off his hat and let his partner hide his face possibly because he didn't want others to stare at his partner. What's more, he even picked up the suitcase for him ah! His actions are like a gentle boyfriend pampering his partner and everyone agreed on this!"

Zhao Fu for the first time wanted to mute his own ADC. Not wanting the young man to go astray more than he already had, he stealthily gave him a signal for him to stop speaking and look behind him.

Li Haoran caught his act and cluelessly turned around.

The very moment he did so he was immediately met with his Captain's expressionless face staring back at him.

It was not the first time that his Captain caught him gossiping but what made Li Haoran's heart drop was the silver-hair beauty standing beside him.

... Isn't this one of the protagonists of the hot search? Which means...

Li Haoran, "..." I f*king gossiped about my Captain in front of his face?

Awkwardly clearing his throat, Li Haoran attempted to remedy the situation with a stiff smile, "On second thought, they do look like good bros haha."

Unfortunately for him, Yang Yuxuan was not willing to let him off the hook easily. His mocking voice immediately followed after, "Heh. I guess you need more training to be more aware of your surroundings lest you do not realize that you are getting ganked."

Li Haoran was astounded by his shamelessness, "Isn't your job to warn me of potential gank?"

"What are you? A spoiled child that can't do anything on his own?" Yang Yuxuan arched an eyebrow.

"Hey, how many times have you left me to roam and never come back?"

"How long do you want me to raise you?"

In the meantime, Fu Yue watched with interest at the bickering duo. He was not surprised to see this scene. After all, their CP had quite a huge fanbase and their love-hate relationship clips were all over the place on the internet.

Li Haoran has just turned 18 a month ago while Yang Yuxuan was 20 years old. The two were not far apart in age so they were the most comfortable with each other. They might look like this but during the game, they worked well together.

Even though Fu Yue would like to watch more of their interactions, there was another pressing matter to discuss. He turned his head to look at the man beside him who was at some point taking out his phone to check something.

"So our pictures were taken after all?"

Wei Chen softly hummed as he gave his phone for him to look at.

Taking the phone into his hand, Fu Yue looked at the pictures and scrolled down the comments.

[What a fairy couple!!!!]

[Wah, they both have long legs and look so beautiful!]

[Mom, I think I just fell in love with the silver-haired little brother! >.<]< p>

[Damn, that face is so beautiful but why have I never seen him before???]

[Are you sure he is a public figure? Maybe he is just a normal person?]

[Upstairs, he might be normal considering that we haven't dug out his identity yet but his boyfriend sure is not!]

[Guys, zooming in I think the taller one has black hair???]

[Unpopular opinion but doesn't his silhouette low-key look like Silence?]

[Upstairs, don't spread rumors carelessly *eye roll* My husband is busy training! How can he have the time to pick up someone!]

[Yeah, don't you know Silence doesn't like interacting with others?]

[Well, he is pretty free at the moment since TM lost to YL so why not? Who knows whether he has a boyfriend or not?]

[Hah, toxic fans get lost! My husband won't get bewitched by a vixen!]

Fu Yue, who was called a vixen for no odd reason helplessly said, "... Do I look like a vixen?"

"Cough, cough!"

Zhao Fu who was drinking his oolong tea got choked and almost sprayed all of his tea. Meanwhile, the duo abruptly stopped their arguments and looked up at Fu Yue in awe.

Wei Chen feared better than the rest. He calmly took back his phone and immediately spotted the comments.

He softly comforted, "Don't take their words to heart."

Li Haoran hurriedly followed, "That's right! Netizens like to gossip and talk a bunch of nonsense!"

Zhao Fu nodded his head while Yang Yuxuan spoke in a good mood, "Looks like when you officially debut, Weibo is going to explode."

Fu Yue was used to getting hate from the netizens so he was not affected as others thought. He jokingly said with a shrug, "I hope that I won't get torn by Captain's fans."

Regarding this topic, even Li Haoran couldn't do anything to help him. He looked at him in sympathy, "Well, Captain's fans are indeed a bit fierce."

Not wanting his new teammate to be discouraged, he hurriedly switched the topic with an outstretched right hand, "Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet! I am Li Haoran go by the name Alphabet, ADC, an Alpha!"

Knowing his good intentions, Fu Yue chuckled and followed his example, "Fu Yue goes by the name 404, Mid-Laner, an Omega."

"404? Then can I call you Si-ge? So you are an Ome-"

[A/N: Si = 4.]

Li Haoran, " (◑_◑) "

Fu Yue, " ^_^ "

Li Haoran was given another fright by his new Mid-Laner. He instinctively turned to look at his teammates for confirmation.

Yet, the moment his eyes met with his Support's smiling eyes, he immediately knew that he didn't hear things incorrectly.

Still, in disbelief, Li Haoran's eyes darted back toward the beautiful older brother in front of him who was taller than him...

Li Haoran tremblingly asked with desperate eyes, "Si-ge... How tall are you?"

Fu Yue smilingly responded, "1.82 m."

Li Haoran, a 1.77 m Alpha, "QAQ"

Noticing the child's sad eyes, Fu Yue patted his shoulder in comfort, "You are still growing, don't be discouraged."

However, the big bad wolf Yang Yuxuan wouldn't give up this opportunity to tease his ADC. He enthusiastically clapped, "Congrats on your new position as TM's shortest player~"

"You are just 2 cm taller than me!" Li Haoran said in an aggrieved voice.

Yang Yuxuan leisurely shrugged, "You do admit that I am taller."

Li Haoran, "..."

Zhao Fu who has always been a middle person quickly smoothed things out between these two children, "Okay, okay. You guys might scare our new brother due to your quarreling. Ranran, you go take a shower. It is going to be dinnertime soon."

Since food was brought up, Li Haoran temporarily pushed his grievances aside and quickly ran upstairs.

For Fu Yue's welcoming dinner, they decided to hold it in the second building since there was a cafeteria to accommodate both the starting team and the second team.

Speaking of the second team, Fu Yue didn't know much about those children. Nevertheless, after meeting them face-to-face, he at least knew that he was not being welcomed, especially by He Xing the second team's Mid-Laner.

However, Fu Yue could understand where his hostility was coming from. In a way, he did steal his opportunity to become a starting player.

To add fuel to the fire, he was a small game anchor with no experience or grand achievement to speak of. Perhaps, to them, he was parachuting into this position with no real ability.

Fu Yue didn't want to have a bad reputation within the base so he was thinking of a way to prove himself when all of a sudden, He Xing stared at him and coldly requested, "I am sorry to bother you on our first meeting but you don't mind playing a few games with me?"

He Xing's Captain anxiously tugged his shirt signaling for him to take back his words but the former didn't budge and stubbornly stared at Fu Yue's face.

He was training so hard hoping to become a starter. When the rumor that Xieyu was leaving, he was convinced that he would get a debut in the next season.

Who would have thought that out of the blue, he was informed that a Mid-Laner had already been signed?

In addition, he was simply a game anchor!

He Xing couldn't understand their decision and his anger further intensified after seeing that handsome face.

He was convinced that this person was recruited due to his potential commercial value.

While he was seething in anger, Fu Yue's gentle voice floated over, "Okay. 1 vs 1?"

Seeing that he agreed in a relaxed manner, He Xing was rather surprised.

Nonetheless, this was his only chance to prove his ability in front of everyone, especially Silence God. He resolutely nodded his head and slowly added, "Best of 3."
