Their relationship changed from brothers to lovers and their days were much more comfortable than before. After returning to the dormitory every night, Zhang Shaohui was able to sleep in Lou Wushuangâs bedroom and hold him to sleep. Sometimes he could steal a few kisses when Lou Wushuang was in a good mood.
However, that was it.
He didnât dare to make any further moves. The drunken experience mustâve left a psychological shadow on Lou Wushuang and Zhang Shaohui was afraid that the relationship between the two people would be messed up because of old things.
Zhang Shaohui held his favourite person to sleep every night and endured it. He considered Lou Wushuangâs feelings and forced himself to endure it. Besides, the season had started and there were many things that Lou Wushuang had to deal with in the Ghost Spirits team. Zhang Shaohui didnât want to take up too much time.
The scene of the unconscious Lou Wushuang was still vivid in his mind. If he unknowingly hurt Lou Wushuang and affected the teamâs matches, Zhang Shaohui would definitely be drowned by the curses of the fans.
***
The days passed quietly and many members of Ghost Spirits noticed a subtle change in the relationship between the Lou Zhang brothers. In the past, Zhang Shaohui liked to follow behind Lou Wushuang. Now it was even worse. Lou Wushuang would go to the canteen every day at noon and Zhang Shaohui would actively prepare his favourite meal in advance. If Lou Wushuang went to the conference room to prepare for the pre-match meeting, Zhang Shaohui would always help him open the projection screen and connect the computer. If Lou Wushuang was tired from training in the afternoon, Zhang Shaohui would take the initiative to give him some coffee. Sometimes Zhang Shaohui would run downstairs in the middle of the night, thoughtfully giving Lou Wushuang his favourite drink.
Manager Lin was relieved. âThe feelings between you brothers is too good!â
Lou Wushuangâs expression was calm but Zhang Shaohui scratched his head with a red face. âHey, we have more than 10 years of feelings. We canât compare to good friends!â His tone seemed rather smug.
The newcomers secretly talked in private, âI feel like Vice-Captain Zhang is like someone who follows the emperor in ancient times. Wherever the emperor goes, he has to arrange everything properly.
Someone else retorted, âVice-Captain Zhang is much more good-looking. This metaphor isnât appropriate!â
âThey had a cold war not long ago. Vice-Captain Zhang would hide whenever he saw Captain Lou, just like a mouse seeing a cat.â
âYes, I really donât understand them. After a few days of a cold war, they reconciled and are stickier than before. It is just like glue.â
âThe words âlike glueâ seem to describe newlyweds. Is your metaphor wrong?â
âI am an e-sports player and there are no high standards for my language levelâ¦â
The several newcomers were whispering together when a cold voice was heard behind them. âArenât you training today?â
Everyone immediately stiffened and sat like statues in front of the computer.
Captain Lou rarely visited the training camp. Today he suddenly came and the newcomers were a bit flattered.
Fortunately, Zhang Shaohui smiled and helped them out. âI just organized some friendly games for them. They worked hard for several days and I wanted them to relax today, telling them to play casually in the online game.â
Lou Wushuangâs expression eased after hearing Zhang Shaohuiâs explanation and he spoke lightly, âYou canât be too lax. Training might be boring but people who canât keep going will be eliminated one day.â Then he sat down in front of a computer. âCome and play in the arena with me. I want to see the results of your training.â
Captain Lou was too cold and rarely managed the camp. It was unknown what wind was blowing today but the newcomers immediately rushed over to PK with Captain Lou. Naturally, they were beaten by him one by one.
Lou Wushuang frowned. âYour actual combat awareness isnât enough. You need more practice.â
Zhang Shaohui told him, âIn the future, I will come to the training camp to supervise their training. You have been playing all afternoon and must be tired. Do you want to go eat dinner first?â
âOkay.â Lou Wushuang got up and let. Zhang Shaohui was following him to the door, only to look back and say, âTomorrow, I will develop a new training plan. You have to finish it and donât be lazy, do you understand?â
The group immediately responded. âWe hear you, Vice-Captain Zhang!â
Zhang Shaohui instantly turned around and caught up with Lou Wushuang.

The two people returned to their dormitory after dinner. Zhang Shaohui diligently cut a plate of fruit for his brother and asked, âBrother, are you angry about the newcomers not training seriously.â
âNo.â
Zhang Shaohui scratched his head. âYou can rest assured that I will look over the training camp more in the future. When the two of us were in the training camp, Masterâs requirements were very strict. I have been too relaxed with them.â
Lou Wushuang listened to Zhang Shaohui taking the initiative to admit his mistakes and his heart softened. âDonât blame yourself. It is also inappropriate that I have never gone to the training camp despite being captain. I will go over there to check when I am free, giving more pressure to the newcomers.â
âThat would be great.â Zhang Shaohui smiled and gently held Lou Wushuangâs hand. âThere are many newcomers who admire you. They will be more motivated if you come to visit.â
They also went through the tough training camp in their teenage years. The first captain of Ghost Spirits, Mo Quan was particularly strict with his requirements. Sometimes they wouldnât be able to sleep when they didnât complete a training task.
Lou Wushuang started with understanding nothing about the game and Zhang Shaohui taught him slowly. Thus, the two teenagers couldnât complete their masterâs tasks. They often stayed up late and night and would go out to find food when hungry.
It was a very hard but warm time. They worked hard together for their dreams, encouraged each other and supported each other. In retrospect, Zhang Shaohui discovered that if Lou Wushuang hadnât accompanied him to the Ghost Spirits team then he might not be able to persist and gain todayâs achievements.
For so many years, they accompanied each other and the feelings had long surpassed brotherhood. It was just that Zhang Shaohui was too dull and only now understood what Lou Wushuangâs companionship meant.
Zhang Shaohui thought this and couldnât help reaching out to hug Lou Wushuangâs waist, placing a chin on his shoulder. Zhang Shaohui whispered, âIf fact, with your results, you might have a better development if you hadnât become an e-sports player. You gave up so much for me⦠thank you.â
Lou Wushuang became pained at these words. He did a lot for Zhang Shaohui and Zhang Shaohui never understood it until now. Everything Lou Wushuang did wasnât in vain.
Lou Wushuang gently hugged Zhang Shaohui and wondered, âWhy are you talking like this today? It isnât like you.â
Zhang Shaohui smiled. âI went to the training camp with you this afternoon and suddenly remembered the days when we were together in the training camp. Then I discovered that I⦠am so stupid. You have been with me for so many years. It wouldâve been nice if I reacted earlier and made you my wife.â
Lou Wushuangâs face reddened at the word âwifeâ and he reprimanded, âDonât call me that.â
âThen Wushuang?â Zhang Shaohui looked up with fiery eyes, stretching out a finger to rub against Lou Wushuangâs lips and speaking in a low voice. âOr should I continue calling you brother?â
âYou⦠umâ¦â Lou Wushuangâs lips were suddenly blocked by the kiss that caught him off guard. Zhang Shaohuiâs tongue went deep into his mouth and moved. Obviously, this guyâs kissing skills had made great progress. Lou Wushuang was dizzy from the drunk and he couldnât help holding Zhang Shaohuiâs shoulders tightly.
â¦â¦
After a long kiss, Zhang Shaohui didnât want to let this person go but he held back the impulses of his body and spoke hoarsely, âBrother⦠um, forget it. We have to train tomorrow so you should go sleep early.â Then he quickly rushed into the bathroom to take a cold shower.
Lou Wushuang sat on the bed and didnât know if he should lay or cry. He actually wanted to say, âStupid, you donât have to be psychologically stressed. I am actually willing.â
However, Lou Wushuang always had a cold personality. How could he say these type of words?
He heard the sound of water in the bathroom and Lou Wushuang had to rub his temple helplessly. Even so, he couldnât control the sweetness in his heart. He knew that Zhang Shaohui endured his thoughts because he respected Lou Wushuang.
There were also many inconveniences about the team training room. It was better to wait for the off-season to return to the house. It was a small world that only belonged to them. They didnât have to worry about the manager, their teammates, training and the competition. The two people could indulge themselves in desire and joyâ¦
Lou Wushuang thought of this and couldnât help feeling some expectations.
***
Time flew quickly and in the blink of an eye, it was the holiday in the middle of the regular season.
After the first round of the regular season, the Miracle League would give players 10 days off. In these 10 days, some peoples would go home to visit their families while others would go out to adjust their mood. The Ghost Spiritsâ place on the rankings wasnât bad and Lou Wushuang let everyone relax for a few days.
The brothers returned to the house they bought in Shenzhen. The two bedroom house was small but very warm. It was a wedding house so it was filled with a sweet taste. The first time Zhang Shaohui came here, he wasnât nervous at all but now he finally understood the purpose behind Lou Wushuang buying this house.
Lou Wushuang was changing shoes at the entrance when Zhang Shaohui suddenly hugged him from behind. âYou bought this house in order to live with me? You had long planned to use it as our wedding house, right?â
A hint of embarrassment filled Lou Wushuangâs face but it was quickly replaced by calm. âIt seems that you arenât stupid.â
âHey, Iâve been with you for a long time and the stupid person will slowly become smarter.â He kissed the white neck from behind, leaving a mark on it. Then he continued, âI like this house very much but can we change the kidâs room. Last time I argued with you and couldnât sleep in the roomâ¦â
Lou Wushuang listened to the complaints, thought about the man huddled on the small bed and felt funny. He touched the other personâs head and replied, âOkay, how do you want to change it?â
âI have a say?â
âOf course, you are also the owner of this place.â
This sentence sounded particularly pleasant and Zhang Shaohui was excited. âHow about changing it into a study? We can buy two computer tables side by side for when we want to both play in the future.â
Lou Wushuang wondered, âPlacing it against each other will save space. Why do you want it side by side?â
Zhang Shaohui laughed. âIf it is side by side then I can always pull your hand and also kiss you.â
Lou Wushuang, ââ¦â
This idiot was too direct!
However, Zhang Shaohuiâs next actions were even more straightforward. Lou Wushuang had just changed into slippers when Zhang Shaohui stretched out his long arms, one arm against the armpit and the other arm around Lou Wushuangâs waist as Lou Wushuang was picked up.
Lou Wushuang was shocked and immediately grabbed Zhang Shaohuiâs shoulder. âWhat are you doing?â
Zhang Shaohui smirked. âSince this is our wedding house, shouldnât we christen it this evening?â
Lou Wushuang felt funny and rubbed hard on Zhang Shaohuiâs head, speaking helplessly, âYou are thinking things unsuitable for children all day long!â
Zhang Shaohui looked innocent. âI have been enduring it for a long time. Donât you want me at all?â
Lou Wushuangâs heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Last time, Zhang Shaohui was drunk and his actions were too rough. There was no sense of scale. He only cared about satisfaction and it was painful for Lou Wushuang. Now that the two of them were in love, Lou Wushuang was looking forward to true lovemaking. No one could bother them and Lou Wushuang didnât want to waste this good opportunity. He gently kissed Zhang Shaohuiâs ear and whispered, âI missed you too.â
