FOG Novel Chapter 115

Zhou Huo looked at Shi Luo and chuckled softly, Shi Shen, what part of this is a room card? This is obviously Whispers love letter...

Shi Luo held the two room cards in the pocket of his jacket. He looked at Yu Sui from out the corner of his eye, his lips moved slightly. He gave no reply.

After checking in, Yu Sui still had so things to deal with as the captain. Yu Sui signaled to the official staff to wait. He walked up to Shi Luo and Zhou Huo and said, I have a solo interview and a photo shoot...

It was originally scheduled for tomorrow, but by my estimate , we should be able to start training tomorrow. It would delay us by too much so I just discussed with their people and Ill do it all tonight. Well start closed door training tomorrow.

Zhou Huo frowned, Discussing matters directly with the players? What is this? What kind of mass dia outlet just gets an interview because they want one?

The leagues mass dia outlet. Each team goes through this fixed process and theres no pushing it back. They only told

about it when I asked what their schedule was for tomorrow. Yu Sui rubbed his shoulders. Anyway, I cant sleep anymore.

Ill just spend an hour or two to handle everything and then that will be that.

Zhou Huo asked Yu Sui to wait for a while. He went to talk with the league staff. Once he confird that it was a set process, he arranged Yu Suis schedule and then nodded. He exchanged a couple of words with the other accompanying club staff mbers and had them accompany Yu Sui to his interview.

You go back and rest first... Yu Sui said to Shi Luo softly, Ill ssage you when I get back.

Shi Luo pursed his lower lip and nodded, Ok.

Shi Luo went directly to Yu Suis room. He didnt even open his suitcase. He simple took out his laptop from his peripheral bag and brought up the record of the past matches of the other teams in their group match.

The overall strength of other teams in their grouping was really too far from Free. Old Qiao didnt let the four of them waste ti looking at these materials.

Instead, he just had the coaching team watch the watch it and he then went to write a detailed summary of each team and sent it to the players. Only Shi Luo went to make a copy of the videos for himself. Hed been planning on watching these when he found himself unable to sleep on the plane.

Now, he had so ti to watch it.

Shi Luo sat on the bed with the laptop on his lap. The lights were off and the sky was dark. Only the faint light from the laptop screen was visible in the room.

Shi Luo watched the video at twice the speed. He also fast-forwarded nonstop in the middle. For a five hour-long video, Shi Luo finished watching it in less than two hours.

Shi Luo clicked on another teams video. Just as he doubled the speed, Shi Luo raised his eyes suddenly and then quickly closed the laptop.

A few seconds later, the door of the room opened with a beep.

A certain soone who had just finished his interview turned on the corridor light unsuspectingly. He entered the bathroom and he washed his face. He grabbed a towel and after lightly wiping his face, Yu Sui turned to walk out.

He hadnt yet gotten out of the bathroom when Shi Luo blocked his way with a fierce kiss.

Yu Sui was stunned and then relaxed, spreading his arms slightly, letting Shi Luo do what he wanted.

Yu Sui was pushed all the way from the entrance of the bathroom to the side of the sink. Yu Sui didnt present even the least bit of resistance. Shi Luo pressed a bit forcefully against his shoulder and he moved back along with Shi Luo.

The mont Shi Luo had kissed him, he had already parted his lips, Shi Luo had just touched Yu Suis collar and Yu Sui already took the initiative to pull the zipper of his jacket all the way down to make it easier for Shi Luo to do what he wished.

The lights in the bathroom were dim. Only their breaths, running slightly faster than usual, could be heard.

Shi Luo put his hand on the hem of Yu Suis sweatshirt, grasping the loose and soft material. He hesitated for a mont but didnt not lift it up. He only put his hand on Yu Suis waist and continued to kiss him deeply.

After ten minutes of both restrained and frenzied silent kissing, Shi Luo let go of Yu Sui.

Shi Luos lips were red and his voice was low, ...You didnt take control.

Yu Sui closed his eyes when he heard these words. After a mont of silence, he smiled helplessly, his voice was slightly hoarse, Baobei&#k2026;I didnt take control because I already really want to do you. If I had taken control&#k2026; we might not be able to train tomorrow.

I would have finished that interview early for nothing.

Shi Luo thought of all the things they did during their little vacation and his previous slight dissatisfaction was suddenly teased into disappearing. He wiped his lower lip with the back of his hand and said nothing.

After taking a few deep breaths, Yu Suis mind was a little clearer. But when he opened his eyes and saw Shi Luo, his heart instantly softened.

Yu Suis lips moved slightly, You want

to take control?

Yu Sui looked at Shi Luo. He said, voice very low, Its not completely out of the question. I should be able to restrain myself now... what do you want

to do?

You... Shi Luo paused and asked, Would you do as I want you to?

Yu Sui smiled, So long as it doesnt delay your training tomorrow...I can satisfy you.

Shi Luo took a deep breath and whispered, Yu Sui...do you never ever afford the people youre in a relationship with a way out...

Yu Sui didnt hear him clearly, Huh?

Are you afraid that I wont belong to you? Shi Luo grumbled, When I wasnt with you yet, the fans kept reminding

that Im still young, that I shouldnt make nice with you...

If I get into a relationship with you, if we break up, it wont be easy for

to ever be interested in anyone in the future. Did you see it at the ti and treated

like this on purpose, making ...

Yu Sui looked deeply at Shi Luo. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked, Making you what? Shi Luo, making you what?

Shi Luo couldnt bear it, Making

like you so much my heart hurts. I cant wait to give you my life so that I will never be apart from you again...

Listening to the terribly sweet confession of his little boyfriend, Yu Suis smile grew deeper and deeper. He lowered his head slightly and kissed Shi Luos lips, Yes, I did it on purpose.

I purposely... made you feel that you could never bear to be separated from

forever.

Shi Luo let Yu Sui tease his bad temper away. He held Yu Suis collar and kissed him on his lips again. Yu Sui responded with the proper gentleness. After a while, Shi Luo let Yu Sui go and said, voice hoarse, OK.

......okay.

Okay? Yu Sui pulled up his jacket that had been taken half off by Shi Luo. Holding back a smile, he asked, ... Shi Shen, were you satisfied with your ravaging of ? Will you give

a good review?

Would you visit again?

Like making out with a log. Not satisfied. Shi Luo turned and walked out, ...Well talk about it after the ga.

Yu Sui smiled, zipped up his jacket, and left the bathroom.

In the room, Shi Luo opened Yu Suis and helped him put away his things. Shi Luo didnt leave that night. The two of them watched the ga video together until past midnight. Feeling a bit sleepy, soone drank a cup of hot milk and was forced to sleep.

The next day, the training room that Zhou Huo applied to the league for was already set. Everyone followed the routine they had back in China, except that their training ti was slightly increased. They already had breakfast at a little past ten and then rushed to the official training venue.

After familiarizing themselves a little a bit, it was already eleven oclock and they turned on their computers to prepare for their practice matches.

At eleven oclock in the morning in Germany, it was four oclock in the morning in China. It was too difficult to make appointnts with the Chinese teams. Zhou Huo made an appointnt with a North Arican team in the afternoon and a Chinese team at night.

They had no practice matches with Sacred Sword.

Naturally, Sacred Sword wouldnt agree to one. Sacred Sword was tightly guarded against Free and refuses to make any practice matches with any team in any Chinese division, for fear that Yu Sui would have so ans to get insights about them.

Zhou Huo mocked, They talk as though any team in our region would deign to agree to a practice match with them. They play dirty and sneer at their opponents. Who the hell would agree to them?

During a break between practice matches, when everyone was eating together. Zhou Huo couldnt help complaining about the various petty-minded moves made by Sacred Sword. Old Qiao patted Zhou Huo on the shoulder and whispered, Thats about enough.

Old Qiao didnt say anything but he glanced at Shi Luo. Zhou Huo was stunned and realized that Old Qiao was reminding him that there was a rather deep hatred between Shi Luo and Sacred Sword so that he should not create an even more confrontational atmosphere that might affect Shi Luos mood.

Zhou Huo stiffly changed the topic. He smiled, Oh, thats right. NSN will be here in a few days. Theyll also be coming to our hotel.

When that ti cos, it will be more convenient to set appointnts with them.

Shi Luo pulled out a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth. Im done. Im going to go watch so ga replay.

Shi Luo pretended not to have seen anything.

Yu Sui was worried about him. His teammates were worried about him. Zhou Huo, Old Qiao...all the staff were worried about him.

Shi Luo knew it very well.

Shi Luo could clearly rember how the haters taunted him before the World Competition. They said he had no experience in large-scale competitions, that his ntality was not stable enough, that he was a hidden danger for the team.

After entering the World Championship for the first ti, he might even co across Sacred Sword, this enemy of his life. People around him were worried that he would incur an all too obvious setback.

Afterwards, it would produce a shadow in his heart and this originally tiny shadow would snowball along with the voices online calling him into question. The longer the snowball rolled, the bigger it would beco until he is finally brainwashed by doubting voices online.

He would lose his self-confidence and would really beco ntally-crippled.

Lessons from the past could be found everywhere. How many players have been forced to carry the burden of a blackened na because of a mistake that didnt even determine the outco of a ga?

After that, they have never been able to prove themselves again and they truly beco the trash that the haters accused them of being.

Shi Luo didnt want to explain anything and he didnt want to tell the people in his team that he was fine and that they neednt be so careful.

It was him whose expression had crumpled for everyone to see that his ntal state had collapsed just because so comntator said Thankfully our region has the best dic twin stars, Whisper and Angel Sword.

Now, if he were to say, light as a feather, that he was fine, it would only make others feel that he was just pretending to be calm and they would worry about him even more. Shi Luo didnt feel like adding to the trouble of others.

So Shi Luo silently enjoyed Yu Suis gentleness and silently accepted the kindness of the rest of the team. The day before the group match, Shi Luo didnt say anything even when Zhou Huo said sothing damnable like, Its okay to lose a few rounds in the group stage.

As long as we can qualify, we win.

The group stage officially started. Group A beca the opening team because the groups were going in order. In the double-loop group stage, Free played against the Thai team in the first match. The result of the ga wasnt at all surprising.

It went as most people predicted. Free won easily. It took them less than twenty minutes to claim the win. However, what went beyond most peoples expectations was that the MVP spot was given Shi Luo.

Shi Luos play during the match was indeed eye-catching. There was a theory among the general public that when the official technical staff selects the MVP, sotis they would give it to the player who was playing in the World Championships for the first ti as a lifeti sign of friendship.

Players who do not understand the intricacies of the play, thought that Shi Luo, given that he was a rookie to the World Championships, might have been given consideration by the league and after thinking about it, they think it was reasonable.

New players should always be given a bit of consideration.

In the post-match interview, when the host asked Shi Luo if the MVP title was given because of his beautiful play or because of the care given to newcors, Shi Luo said easily that the officials had been considerate towards him.

However, foreign comntators couldnt help but argue for Evil. Its not surprising that Free easily won that match. But as a newcor, Evils play truly had surpassed peoples expectations...

They have Whisper in their team and to have been able to seize the MVP title from Whispers grasp...thats no easy feat...Of course, because the match had been so short, there hadnt been any deadlocked situation that happened and Whisper was not given any room to display his abilities.

But being able to out do both Chen Huo and Puppy is also a very rare thing. When fighting against a team whose strength is far from ones own, its all too easy for players to beco too bloodthirsty and make lots of mistakes because of it. But Evil didnt.

His performance was too stable and it was beautiful. He didnt look at all like a newcor to the World Championship.

Because there was a half-true-half-false theory about the first MVP title during ones debut being given as a gift, even though the comntators passionately assessed Shi Luo, the players didnt feel too surprised by Shi Luos first performance.

But on the next day, Free played back-to-back against the Japanese and Vietnase teams. After successfully winning both matches, the MVP titles for both matches were still given to Shi Luo.

Only three best of one gas had been played in the group stage and Shi Luo got all three MVP titles.

For the two MVP titles after the first, Shi Luo won them completely using his own ability, he played stably and beautifully. Everyone was now thoroughly convinced that he deserved the MVP title.

After the third match of the group stage, the discussions regarding Shi Luo had reached a fever-pitch.

In Frees backstage lounge, only Yu Sui and Shi Luo were in the small locker room. Shi Luo pushed Yu Sui to the corner. After winning three MVP titles in a row, Shi Luo had the confidence to tell Yu Sui, You were concerned that I wasnt sleeping well before coming to Germany?

Do you know why I didnt sleep well?

Because I was finally, finally, finally, able to co to this f*cked up place and stick it to Sacred Sword. Shi Luo had a bit of loathing and provocative look in his eyes, Two years ago... they wouldnt even look at .

They wouldnt buy

and you wouldnt let

co...Now, Im going to let them see whether Laozi was worth their money or not, whether they didnt lose out by not insisting on buying this substitute.

Shi Luo said in a deep voice, I wasnt unable to sleep because I was anxious. I was excited...Finally, I have the opportunity to let others see clearly whether Laozi can play in the World Championship or whether I would just hold us back.

Yu Sui was relying on the wall to keep standing, thinking about Shi Luos extre operations in the matches. Looking deeply at Shi Luo, he was so fascinated by him that it made him want to do a little sothing right here in the locker room.

Why... Yu Sui said in a low voice, didnt you tell

earlier?

With no results to show, saying it would have been uninteresting. Moreover... Shi Luo paused and his little scheming self that hadnt made an appearance in a long ti, ca out. His voice beca lower and lower, If Id said it earlier... would you still have been so gentle to ?

Little Shi Shen had already vented all his anger and his expression revealed a bit of unease, I like it... When youre being so good to .

I just like... your slag man routine.

I like it very much.
