DPTBG Chapter 13

WIND’s arrival brought Song Shihan’s livestream’s popularity to new heights.

It has been a while since WIND came back to the country, after all, but there wasn’t even a whiff of a conversation between him and Song Shihan. A lot of fans of the former FTU realized that something was wrong, and social media influencers began speculating that FTU’s disbandment back then may have been because of conflicting interests. Public opinion that FIRE and WIND had a poor relationship has slowly been growing.

Now, WIND entered the livestream bringing luxurious gifts, inconsistent with what the public thought and immediately destroying their notion.

Of course, the loudest cheers came from the CP fans—

【Aaaaaaah, screaming to the world: my youth is back!!!】

【WIND sure does know how to make an entrance, sending ten Galaxy Trains.】

【Can we consider this an official announcement? After all, the first thing he did when he entered was call to his ‘old lover’ /eating_melon.jpg】

【You guys scared me so badly I cried a river. I really thought you guys broke up, but thankfully you seem to be okay. You have to always be okay!】

【Friends, let us stand shoulder to shoulder and wave the banner of Huofeng¹Huo = fire; feng = wind, their game IDs CP together!!】

The comments were all from fans reminiscing about FTU’s former glory. Zuo Tao glanced at Song Shihan from the corner of his eye. Under the indoor light, he leaned lazily against his chair, the faint smile on his face disappearing completely. His expression was tense, eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Zuo Tao surmised that Song Shihan was unhappy, probably around the time WIND entered the livestream. Thinking of it in a different light, had it been him, of course he wouldn’t be happy either if there were so many such comments on his stream.

Zuo Tao moved in front of the camera and said, “What? Anyway, didn’t you guys want to know how to use Fairy Song? I can tell you guys that it’s actually really simple. In the early game, focus on getting your items and avoid getting killed as much as possible. As for the build…”

【Get out, who wants to play such a trash support?】

【Fenmao, can you please not stick so close to God Han?! Can’t you see that his other half is still in the livestream?】

【This is not how you use others to get popular. Have a little tact, okay?】

【You’re blocking FIRE, move!!!】

【I just wanted to say: only idiots were screaming about how powerful Fairy Song was, but she’ll always just be a moth with more wings. It’s just that GGF is declining. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you try playing against REBORN?】

【Little brother, stop intruding where you don’t belong. Be careful that WIND remembers you and kills you in the competition until you cry and call him daddy.】

Zuo Tao’s blood rose to his throat, and he could barely hold back the urge to hit back with passion. He thought of the man sitting so close to him and suppressed his emotions, but something still showed on his face. He was angry but unable to vent.

His eyes turned red.

However, in the eyes of the viewers of the livestream, it just looked like this pink-haired little boy has suffered a great wrong, looking like he wanted to say something but was unable to do so.

【So easy? We’re not even allowed to say random shit?】

【Weak mentality. You should at least see if you’re qualified before you do anything.】

【Hey, calm down. PINK didn’t even do anything. You guys are just grasping at straws and twisting everything else.】

【What did we even do? Esports is the original sin. Just calling out to anyone who doesn’t want to improve themselves and instead keeps their mind on their crooked ways.】

【Little brother, you better think clearly. FIRE isn’t a thigh you can hang onto to climb the ladder.】

【This CP fan refuses to accept unpleasant behavior. Even if WIND doesn’t mind, I will still be the first to tear you apart.】

This training match against GGF could be considered Zuo Tao’s debut into the industry. Although he had gotten fans from the game, there weren’t that many, and anyone who spoke up for him was quickly rained with more abusive comments.

Zuo Tao sniffed, feeling enraged. At that moment, the screen was once more overtaken by another system announcement.

【User GGF-STAR has entered the livestream.】

Registered professional players had special effects attached to their accounts whenever they entered livestreams, their messages broadcasting through the stream above all other comments.

【GGF-STAR: I just can’t take it anymore, I’ll just make this trend even higher. In my opinion, although his demonic pink-head is annoying and targeting me, his strength is undoubtable.】

【GGF-STAR: Also, I’m not weak, alright? I wish all of Wildfire the best in the preliminaries, may your journey be smooth and your results be extraordinary. Demon Fenmao, I got my eyes on you. PS: Please don’t take me as first blood next time!!】

With STAR’s arrival also came his fans, of course. When they saw that WIND’s fans were trashtalking GGF, of course they couldn’t bear it; with STAR gone from the stream, a bloody battle took place on the comments.

Moreover, STAR streamed regularly. His fanbase was much larger than WIND’s.

The wave gradually turned to the other side.

【Strength is all there to WIND, right? As far as I know, he has an awful personality. He’s best at starting something and then watching from the sidelines, manipulating the conversation.】

【Awful personality? Why don’t you look at your Xingbao, hanging out livestreaming all day, doing nothing but making money from you.】

【So what if I make money so I can spend money on him?】

【CP fans, stop barking. Have you heard FIRE say anything in response this whole time?】

【Not even paying attention or responding at all when your WIND came in with his extravagant gifts, didn’t you even think of what that means?】

【WIND has an awful personality (2). Did he forget what brought him to where he is right now? He’s tied his entire existence to FIRE like some bloodsucking vampire. He’s back in the country and they’re not even in the same team anymore, what’s he still doing being a leach?】

【Shameless, ugly thing.】

【I like it, though. His livestream is so chaotic but has FIRE ever said a single word?】

【What is WIND thinking? Any person with a brain would know that having just come back from abroad, he isn’t popular enough, so he has to come to FIRE to stir up some drama.】

【FIRE sure is miserable.】

【FIRE is miserable (10086~)】

Zuo Tao: …

I really want to laugh so hard it’s difficult to hold back. Go on and scold them some more!!!

【REBORN-WIND: Alright everyone, break it up. My old lover and I have a good relationship in private and that has never changed.】

【REBORN-WIND: PINK, I would like to apologize on behalf of my fans. They did not mean it to be malicious.】

“I used to think it was unnecessary.”

A deep voice came from Zuo Tao’s side, and he glanced to see that Song Shihan had put down his phone at some point. He looked at the camera with a cold expression and continued:

“But let me be clear now that REBORN’s WIND and I were nothing but teammates. Stop making random guesses. I hope that everyone pays more attention to the competition. That’s all.”

Song Shihan stood up, rubbing Zuo Tao’s hair before bending over his computer to end the livestream.
