Pretend to hate you [eSports]

At first, Cheng Yu was a little nervous, but after hearing Shen Zheng's long and steady breathing, he gradually fell asleep.

When Cheng Yu woke up in the morning, the people around him were gone.
Fortunately gone.
Cheng Yu looked up at the ceiling. What kind of dream did he have last night?
"You have no conscience. You ran away after sleeping." He kicked the empty air beside him.

He stretched out his hand and touched the pillow beside him, which seemed to still have the warmth of Shen Zheng.
"I don't know what kind of shampoo he usually uses." Cheng Yu picked up the pillow, slowly held it in his arms, put it close to his nose, and sniffed it gently.
Fresh, with a refreshing scent that belongs only to Shen Zheng, just like in the dream.
Slowly tightening his arms, Cheng Yu thought, after the game, he would let Shen Zheng share the shampoo.

"Click", the door opened and Shen Zheng came in with two breakfasts.
Cheng Yu continued to hug the pillow tightly, staring at him blankly, his face rapidly heating up.

"what to do?"
Shen Zheng walked in and closed the door. This time he didn't need to turn around and could easily lock it.

"Nothing." Cheng Yu curled up his knees and turned his face away. "I thought you went back to sleep."
"I went to buy breakfast, purple sweet potato buns, do you like it?"

The bed beside him sank, and the clear air became clearer. Cheng Yu hugged the pillow tightly, covering a certain part of his body, and put his legs together: "If you are in a bad mood after waking up, take your anger out on the pillow. Is that okay?"
"Okay, I can vent my anger on you." Shen Zheng put down his breakfast and took off his coat. "Get up, we have a game today."

Cheng Yu hesitated and lowered his eyes.
Shen Zheng also looked in the direction he was looking.

Cheng Yu immediately got angry: "What are you looking at? Turn around!"

Shen Zheng put his finger on his lips and smiled: "Don't be shy, we are all adults."

"Turn around!" Cheng Yu waved his arms and drew circles in the air. "Hurry up, hurry up, we are all men, what's so good about it?"

It would be great if there was no game today.
Shen Zheng turned around and said, "Okay."

Behind me came the sound of Cheng Yu jumping off the bed and running quickly to the bathroom on tiptoe.
Shen Zheng lowered his eyes, and while rubbing, he could still feel the touch of Cheng Yu's hair.

"Dong dong dong."
Shen Zheng went to open the door, and it was Yu Hao outside.

"Brother Yu, I..." Yu Hao held some breakfast and presented it to him with bright eyes. When he saw it was Shen Zheng, he was stunned.
After looking at the door number carefully, it was indeed Cheng Yu's room.
"Where's Brother Yu?" Yu Hao asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm taking a shower." Shen Zheng lowered his eyes, with no expression on his face, and his tone was cold. Behind him came the sound of running water, and the voice of Cheng Yu calling him to fold the quilt.
"Is there something wrong?" Shen Zheng asked.
"I brought some breakfast for Brother Yu." Yu Hao handed the bag to Shen Zheng, "Captain Shen, please pass it on for me. I wish you all the best in the competition."
"He's already eaten." Shen Zheng glanced at him and didn't answer. "Mine."

Yu Hao stood there in a daze. Even after the door was closed, he still didn't understand what Shen Zheng meant by "mine".

"Who is it?" In the bathroom, Cheng Yu's lazy voice stretched out.
"Are you done washing?" Shen Zheng opened the curtains and tidied the room.
"Right away," Cheng Yu muttered, "Why rush me?"

"Cheng Yu." Shen Zheng picked up the pillow that Cheng Yu had just hugged, turned up the volume and asked, "I went to bed early last night. You didn't do anything to me secretly, did you?"
There was a coughing sound from the bathroom.
"Who would do anything to you?" followed by the little lion's frustrated voice, "Obviously you..."
"Me?" Shen Zheng put his pillow away, stood up and looked towards the bathroom. "What's wrong with me?"
"You, you snore, grind your teeth and fart, it's so annoying." The sound of the water stopped, Cheng Yu wrapped in a bath towel, wiped his hair and said, "Don't come again, I'll beat you every time you come."

Shen Zheng laughed softly, went to Cheng Yu, took the towel and wiped his hair: "I was so rude, but you still put up with me all night. That's unlike you."

"That's because there's a competition." Cheng Yu sat on the bed and rubbed his eyes. He didn't wear contact lenses, so his eyes were pink, making him look more like a little white rabbit. "Otherwise, I'll kick you downstairs."
"If you kick me downstairs," Shen Zheng's fingers rubbed his lobe and ears intentionally or unintentionally, "you won't have a wife to hold down the boat."

Cheng Yu didn't hide, but lowered his eyes, allowing Shen Zheng to touch his ears and wipe his hair.
"Shen Zheng, no matter what the result is after the game, follow me solo."

Not sure why he was so obsessed with solo, Shen Zheng nodded in agreement: "Okay."

-

The match between Yuhuo and Awei had to be delayed until 5pm due to power supply problems at the venue provided by the organizer.
It was still early, and Cheng Yu couldn't sit still during his break, so he put on his hat and went out to smoke, and by the way, he took a look to see who had more light sticks in the audience, him or Shen Zheng.

He found a small corner where he could see the audience seats but was unlikely to be photographed. Just as he put a cigarette in his mouth, He Si called.

He Si: "Dad is here today, can I go backstage to see you?"
Cheng Yu pulled his baseball cap down, looked towards the audience, and exhaled a puff of smoke: "It used to be possible, but now it's not possible." Shen Zheng had so many light sticks that people suspected that he was here to hold a solo concert. The entire team of Awei could barely compete with Shen Zheng.
As for Cheng Yu himself...

He Si: "No, my son knows he was wrong."
Cheng Yu: "Speak properly."

He Si cleared his throat: "Dear Father Cheng, can I go to the backstage to see you?"
Cheng Yu laughed and cursed: "You bastard, look to the left, then to the left again, and lower your head."

Cheng Yu raised the hand holding the cigarette and waved it in the air, leaving a faint red light.
Cheng Yu: "Did you see anyone smoking? That's your dad waving at you again."

He Si: “I saw it, I saw it!”
He trotted to Cheng Yu and punched him on the shoulder: "Okay, this place is hidden enough. Fortunately, my eyesight is good enough."

Cheng Yu lowered his head and saw the sign in He Si’s hand: I love little Cheng Cheng the most, come on!

"The sign is too small." Cheng Yu held his sign and looked at it, "Next time, don't say it's my son. It's embarrassing."

He Si didn't care about the size of the light board. He glanced around and asked Cheng Yu in a low voice like a thief: "Take me to the backstage. I haven't seen it. It would be even better if I could watch the game with the coach."

Cheng Yu put out his cigarette and pretended to think: "It's a bit difficult for me to be your father when you are like this."
He Si touched his shoulder: "Are we brothers now? Hurry up!"
Cheng Yu said nothing.
He Si took out his wallet again.

"Hey, don't be like this, we are all brothers." Cheng Yu held down He Si's wallet, took it and put it in his pocket.
"You are such a dog, take me there quickly." He Si urged.

Cheng Yu took out his phone and said, "Let me ask. Outsiders are usually not allowed in."

He Si followed Cheng Yu towards the lounge, looking around as he walked to see if anyone was taking pictures of Cheng Yu secretly.

"The coach said it's okay. I'll get you a set of team uniforms later. Just treat it as logistics." Cheng Yu put away his phone and asked, "Why are you looking so shifty?"
"Let me see if I've taken any secret photos of you," He Si said with a grin, "After all, there are too many people spying on my little Yu Yu."

"Go away." Cheng Yu pushed him away in disgust. "Your sign is more conspicuous than ten of me. I'll be much safer if you get away from me."
He Si: "Hey, this is my love for you, you must be so touched!"

Seeing that Cheng Yu hadn't come back yet, Shen Zheng was determined to go out and look for him. When he looked up, he saw him leading He Si in. They were still talking about love and heart, and they were laughing and playing.

Shen Zheng rubbed his temples, feeling a headache.
One is He Si, the other is Yu Hao.
One is inside the circle, the other is outside the circle.
It never ends.

Shen Zheng saw Cheng Yu find a set of clothes for He Si to wear, and then sent him to the viewing room next door. The two of them kept making small movements, especially Cheng Yu, who was laughing happily.
I've never seen him smile like this when he was with Cheng Yu. Most of the time, he looked like a little lion with his fur standing on end.

How can I make him happy?

When the game time came, the organizer's staff notified the players to go on stage. Both teams took the stage and the cheers and encouragement almost blew away the ceiling of the venue.
The screams from fans on both sides were evenly matched.

Cheng Yu came on stage and the cameraman called him. He turned around and smiled at the camera.

The screams on the field escalated again, and the girls shouted "I love you" loudly, one after another in the crowd.
Cheng Yu was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect that he was so popular. He waved to the audience.

Then, the photographer moved the camera to Shen Zheng, and screams surged like waves. This time, not only the young ladies shouted "I love you", but even the men were screaming.
Cheng Yu: “…” You bastard!

After taking their seats and getting ready, both teams began to choose their heroes. Everyone put aside all their chaotic emotions and focused on the game.
