GTRSH Chapter 4

Yu Xinche was also looking at the person in front of him.

Black clothes and black pants, the most inconspicuous outfit, and very eye-catching hair.

This guy has blue-green hair with gradient highlights, three-dimensional facial features, and when he smiles at him, the corners of his eyes turn up, giving him a ruffian vibe.

More importantly, his nonchalant demeanor and tone seemed inexplicably familiar.

It seems I’ve seen it somewhere.

Where was it…

Yu Xinche stared at him for a few seconds, but still couldn’t remember.

Seeing that the green-haired handsome boy didn’t act very familiar with me, Yu Xinche breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe we had taken classes together in school, so it was good that he didn’t know me.

But if he didn’t know me, why did he keep looking at me…

And he always feel that the other person’s mood was a little lower than before.

“Classmate?” Yu Xinche didn’t want to be stared at, so he waved his hand in front of He Ci’s eyes, “So what are you looking for? Let me help you find it?”

“ID card.” He Ci looked away and pointed at the people playing online games behind him. “My friend played online games here this afternoon and left his ID card here.”

“Okay, I’ll go check it out.” Yu Xinche walked to the computer tables to check. There were five computers in a row, and only three of them were playing games now.

He first looked at the empty seats and found an ID card under the keyboard.

Yu Xinche took the ID card and went over. Instead of handing it over to He Ci directly, he checked it first with great caution: “What’s your name?”

“Ou Xiaoyu.”

The name was correct on the ID card. Yu Xinche asked again: “What about the ID number?”

The green-haired handsome guy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled. Yu Xinche felt that he was in a better mood and spoke more kindly than before: “Wait a moment, let me ask.”

While they were communicating, the sound of playing games behind them never stopped. Conversations, exclamations, and swear words mixed together to form a messy background noise.

In order to hear each other clearly, the two stood closer.

So the sound of his phone call clearly reached Yu Xinche’s ears.

“Found it, but I need to verify the owner. Send me the ID number.”

Yu Xinche heard an “ah” from the other end, and could hear the surprise through the phone, followed by a vague speech. Yu Xinche deliberately stepped away to avoid listening, but the person in front of him actually turned on the speakerphone.

“What the hell? You just need to show your face. You’re my teammate, so it’s reasonable for you to help me get it.”

“He doesn’t recognise you.” When he said this, the green-haired brother looked at Yu Xinche with a smile.

Yu Xinche was somewhat puzzled by his stare, so he turned his head to avoid his gaze. He then took another look at the person on the ID card while he was not paying attention, and he was indeed unfamiliar, and green-haired brother was even more familiar than him.

But from the tone of their voices, it seemed as if Yu Xinche should know him.

Yu Xinche pursed his lips. The attitude of the person in front of him was so strange.

“Huh? Aren’t you in an Internet cafe? He doesn’t know you?” the person on the other end of the phone said.

Yu Xinche felt the corner of Green Hair’s mouth twitch, and he became unhappy again: “Yes… stop talking nonsense, read out the ID number.”

“Okay, 420XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, Ou Xiaoyu, the photo was taken wearing a blue sweatshirt.”

Yu Xinche checked it again and found that the number and clothes matched.

“Is it okay?” He Ci asked after hanging up the phone.

“It’s okay, but…” Yu Xinche agreed, but he held the ID card without letting go.

He still felt that this person was strange. Nowadays, it was not difficult to find someone’s ID number and a few photos, and it was not impossible to impersonate someone.

“Hmm? What do you mean?” Seeing this, the green-haired handsome guy took a step towards him, still with a little smile on his face, but his temperament was different from before, and there was a vague sense of oppression.

Noticing his change, Yu Xinche blinked. Instead of being afraid, he smiled at him again.

As the saying goes, don’t hit a smiling person, Yu Xinche has always understood this point. His pair of phoenix eyes curved slightly, and standing under the light, his whole body seemed to have a soft light filter, making him look more gentle and friendly.

He cleared his throat and was about to ask the person in front of him to find a way to prove himself when he heard a scream from the camera next to him.

“Oh my god, FIX?!”

“Oh my god?!” The three people playing together finally spotted He Ci, patted each other and looked back excitedly.

“Ci Shen, I’m your fan!”

“Ci Shen, don’t go. This game will be over soon. Wait for me to take over the base in two minutes.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to surrender quickly? Just surrender.”

“No, this is the promotion match.”

“Okay… Xin Che! Xin Che, help keep an eye on it and don’t let Ci Shen leave.”

These three people were classmates of Yu Xinche in the same major. When they wore headphones, their speaking volume would involuntarily become louder. Amid their cries of “FIX” and “Ci Shen”, Yu Xinche finally remembered.

He Ci, FIX, a professional player of TZ Club, with a blurry wikipedia photo, cool vocal fry in the livestream, and the person who was impersonated by the previous scam account.

No wonder it felt so familiar.

Yu Xinche realized it belatedly and looked at He Ci. He Ci was staring at him leisurely, with a look of wanting to see a joke written all over his face.

Yu Xinche, a social expert, was rarely embarrassed.

Seeing that He Ci had no intention of speaking, he pointed at the ID card and asked, “Who is Ou Xiaoyu?”

“He’s my jungler teammate.” He Ci said with a smile.

“Oh.” Yu Xinche tried to ignore his teasing gaze and handed him his ID card. “Here you go.”

He Ci took it: “Thank you.”

The two looked at each other in silence. At this time, the black group finished the game. Without even having time to quit the game, they jumped up from the chair and came to He Ci.

They took a group photo first, then found a pen and paper to ask He Ci to sign. During the whole process, they didn’t speak to him, but kept chatting with He Ci. They had completely lost the steadiness of adults in their 18s and 19s, and only the clear admiration of college students remained.

During this time, Yu Xinche stood quietly by and watched, without interrupting their emotional exchange.

He found that He Ci was very popular with the public.

Except for Qi Han from the next dormitory who was a TZ fan, the other two friends were fans of other clubs. However, they were equally enthusiastic in interacting with He Ci. It was not just a superficial courtesy, but a genuine love from the bottom of their hearts.

“Well, thanks to this classmate.” He Ci suddenly pointed over.

Yu Xinche: “?”

Why did you mentioning me so suddenly?

“He was very cautious and didn’t want to give it to me at first.” He Ci said again.

Yu Xinche: “…”

He actually filed a complaint.

Yu Xinche complained in his heart, but his expression was calm. He still looked easy-going and quiet, and looked over with a smile.

The next second his friend explained for him: “Ah, let me introduce you. This is Yu Xinche. Xinche is a very good support player, but he doesn’t watch the game, so he doesn’t know you.”

Yu Xinche cooperated with a “hmm”, opened the door of the private room calmly, and glanced at He Ci casually.

The ID card was taken, the name was signed, and the complaint was even filed.

It’s time to go.

He Ci must have understood Yu Xinche’s action, or maybe He Ci didn’t want to stay any longer, so he stood up and walked towards the door.

In the end, He Ci didn’t leave.

“No, please don’t leave!”

“Meeting is fate, how about we have a match!!! I’ve been your fan since your debut.”

“Look, there are four of us here, and including you, there are exactly five rows. Please give me some face, Ci Shen.”

Yu Xinche: “…”

He looked at one of them, trying to hold back, but couldn’t help asking, “What about your class?”

During the summer vacation, the school also arranged some elective courses, which were counted as elective credits. This friend had a class later, so the other two called him to the Internet cafe to continue playing three games.

“Oh yeah, I forgot.” The man slapped his forehead, took two steps outside, and then stopped, “Forget it, I won’t go! Such a small class is not as important as Ci Shen.”

Yu Xinche was “amazed”.

He almost wanted to suggest that he would go to class for him, but in the end didn’t say it.

After searching He Ci’s name twice, the big data very understandingly recommended several highlight clips of He Ci’s games to him.

It must be admitted that his AD was very charming.

Putting aside his personal character, as a support player, Yu Xinche certainly wants to play with such a great marksmen.

However, He Ci didn’t seem to be convinced, and the three of them tried to persuade him for a long time but he still didn’t give in.

Qi Han, a die-hard fan, still refused to give up. He pulled Yu Xinche in front of He Ci and started a new round of sales:

“Ci Shen, I haven’t watched the livestream recently, but I saw you fell in love with a Fog when I browsed the forum. Our Xinche, if nothing else, is the number one Fog in the university town of this district!”

“Indeed!” The other two also chimed in, “It’s hard to say he’s the best soft support, but it’s definitely at the top three!”

“Really?” He Ci looked at him.

Yu Xinche wanted to say no, because he felt that He Ci was not actually interested and was only asking out of politeness.

There was no comparison between college students and professional players. No matter how much they brag about themselves, it was probably child’s play in the eyes of others. There was no need for them to show off their skills in front of He Ci.

What’s more, through the last livestream, Yu Xinche already knew that this guy was a cocky guy and he would never play easily with strangers.

But facing the three pairs of expectant eyes beside him, Yu Xinche didn’t have the heart to deny it, and only said tactfully: “We amateur players can’t compare with the professional players. We can only try our best not to hold you back.”

These words sound so familiar, exactly the same as what the Fog player said back then.

He Ci’s heart was moved, and he raised his chin towards Yu Xinche: “Come and let’s see your strength.”
