It was with a bellyful of suspicion that Wei Xiao went to the mini dress rehearsal a day before the tournament, meeting the other commentators and getting familiar with the venue.
There was no script as the commentary was live, but there were still several points that he had to take note of.
For example, what he was allowed and not allowed to say. Although pro players essentially took to the commentary booth in order to excite the crowd, there was still a code of conduct. Their words would not only reflect on the esports committee but also the players themselves.
If anything happened during the commentary, it would influence the public image of the pro players and bode badly for all parties. Evz64d
Wei Xiao understood and respected these guidelines. As fellow Close simps, he and Brother Big Mouth were able to hit it off and banter with each other even before going on air.
Brother Big Mouth wasn’t worried about Wei Xiao. Rather, he was more worried about Yan Jiang.
Yan Jiang was also there as one of the next day’s commentators. Having actively sought out this engagement, he was accommodating toward the necessary arrangements.
Wei Xiao discreetly studied him for a long time, and Yan Jiang noticed the attention. “What?” eSsx3Wei Xiao had thick skin and didn’t panic at being discovered. He was utterly collected. “I was just a little surprised.”
Yan Jiang: “Hm?”
Wei Xiao probed without demur, “I didn’t expect that you’d agree to cover the event.”
Yan Jiang looked at him and suddenly said, “Why do you want to know.” nE03Qs
It was a statement, not a question.
Amused, Wei Xiao looked at him with his head propped up on one hand. “Are you going to tell me, Captain Yan?”
Yan Jiang dropped his gaze slightly, glancing at his neck.
Wei Xiao was wearing a loose-collared T-shirt today, through which a slim black cord was faintly visible over pale collarbones. The black cord dipped under his shirt, concealing the object that hung from it. CWxv2E
Sensing Yan Jiang’s line of sight, Wei Xiao nonchalantly pulled the black cord out, and the object dropped onto his palm.
Sure enough, it was a championship ring.
Wei Xiao didn’t skirt around the topic. “Captain gave it to me.”
Yan Jiang averted his gaze. “Mm.” zkq9Qc
Wei Xiao added, “It’s my lucky charm.”
Yan Jiang looked back up at him again. “Lucky charm?”
Wei Xiao revealed a toothy grin. “A symbol that FTW will definitely win this year’s championship!”
Only Little Lunatic Wei could boast so audaciously in front of a fellow competitor in the finals yet incur no hate. sac0eK
With mirth in his eyes, Yan Jiang responded in a deep voice, “Y1 has five rings.”
Y1 were the defending champions, and the line-up was the same as it was last year. Each of them bore a ring on their hand.
The burn that Wei Xiao suffered was so great that he was rendered completely speechless!
Yan Jiang lowered his gaze, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. “I’ll give you a present after the solo tournament.” r34q1J
Wei Xiao hurriedly clambered down the stairs. “What present?”
Yan Jiang: “You’ll see.”
It was so mysterious. Wei Xiao countered, “It wouldn’t be a lucky charm, would it?”
Smiling, Yan Jiang didn’t divulge anything. Xz7LZx
Wei Xiao: “!”
No way, it couldn’t be. Captain Yan, you wouldn’t be so silly as to spur your opponent on before the finals, right?!
Oh…
Wei Xiao did seem to especially enjoy doing that himself, prodding at people until they got chills. ghLv9y
The dress rehearsal was completed swiftly, and it neared dinnertime. As a local to the area, Wei Xiao naturally made an offer. “Captain Yan, shall we eat together?” R̃äNő฿ĘS
