For three whole days, Ji Zhiyao was in low spirits. After the conversation that day, he had not heard from Mo Huaifeng at all. Although he had guessed that it was rather impossible to not suspend schooling while playing eSports, he had still secretly kept some hope. Now, the higher his hopes, the greater his disappointment.
He had stopped logging on to Heroes. His livestream every day was about chewing melons and chitchatting, almost becoming an eating broadcast.
This night, Ji Zhiyao had just turned on his livestream camera when the notification light of his phone flashed. He picked up his phone, and there was a new text: [LittleDisciple: Master, are you not going to guide me anymore?]
Since returning from watching the performance tournament, Ji Zhiyao had not contacted his little disciple at all. Seeing the text, he replied: [You haven't started school?]
[LittleDisciple: I did. I have already done my homework. ]
[MelonRind: Let's not play Heroes. Master will teach how to play something else. Minesweeper? Solitaire? Kartrider Rush?]
[LittleDisciple:... Master, let's chat for a while. ]
[MelonRind: Sure, what do you want to chat about?]
[LittleDisciple: Master, I heard from my Uncle that Mix battleteam is going to recruit a jungler reserve. Brother Xiao will guide him in playing step by step. By the way, there's more. Their whole team is all quite fond of that person. ]
Ji Zhiyao froze, and the traces of a smile at his brows gradually turned faded.
No wonder Mo Huaifeng had not brought up the matter anymore. Turns out they had already found a new person for the spot, and the new member even got along rather well with them...
His eyes focused as he typed.
[MelonRind: Who is it? Have they made an official announcement?]
[LittleDisciple: Not yet, what I'm telling you is insider news~ [pleased] I heard such news can only be announced after the contract is signed. I guess it's the same for my uncle and the rest. ]
[MelonRind: Oh, that's great. From now on, Mix will not be as passive. ]
Replying for the last time, Ji Zhiyao threw his phone aside. While he was reading the comments on the screen, his expression was a little blank.
The comments were still coming in.
[QAQ What happened to my MelonRind? He was still talking and laughing earlier, but after looking at his phone, he became like this... Did he fall out of love?]
[MelonRind hasn't even been in love. ]
[What's going on? Talk about it?]
[An entire expression of craving to know. ]
[Is it really not falling out of love? There are already wrinkles between your brows from all that frowning. ]
Not too long, Ji Zhiyao came back to his senses. After he saw the comments all over the screen that even covered up his cursor, his brows that had just smoothened out knitted together once more.
He smiled forcefully."No girlfriend, stop randomly guessing. I'm not in good condition, so I'll end the livestream here."
With that, he unplugged the camera.
Ji Zhiyao did not even take his phone, just threw himself right onto the bed, and stared at the ceiling. He stared and stared and unknowingly fell asleep.
When he woke up again, it was an hour later.
Ji Zhiyao was groggy for long, and he propped himself on his arms and sat up. As he was getting up, he found Wen Heng sitting by the bed, gazing at him with a heated gaze, and that gave him such a scare that he almost lay back down again.
Ji Zhiyao sat properly, not yet recovered from the shock."You like to secretly watch me sleep?"
"..."
Wen Heng held back forcefully and did not blow up, only asking, "You were sleeping up to now?"
Ji Zhiyao did not understand why he was asking this question."Yeah, why?"
Wen Heng stayed silent for a moment then said slowly, "It's chaos outside because of you, but you're sleeping quite peacefully here."
Seeing Ji Zhiyao still confused, Wen Heng simply fiddled with his phone and placed it before him.
Ji Zhiyao leaned closer, full of doubt.
