As a Captain, You Must Be Cold

A week later, R.H’s official blog announced the news of Splendid’s departure.

[Shanghai R.H E-sports Club: After friendly negotiation, we have decided to respect the personal wishes of Mr. Splendid. From now on, Shanghai R.H and Splendid will terminate the contract. We wish you a bright future and a safe future.]

Almost at the same time, Splendid also posted a Weibo.

[Splendid: The termination of the contract is my personal decision and has nothing to do with anyone. In the few months at R.H, I have experienced an unforgettable journey and grown a lot. Thanks to the club, thanks to the captain, and thanks to everyone [heart]]

Splendid took it all on himself, but many of his fans think it’s just because the breakup should be decent and no one should ever say sorry. The boss behind R.H has a lot of capital, even if Splendid was treated differently, even if he was isolated by his teammates, he can’t tell the truth.

[“Unforgettable”, “growth”? Brother, what did you go through in R.H, my heart aches QAQ]

[The last time someone saw the team building of R.H in Universal Studios, but the Splendid was missing, don’t you understand?]

[Why do you want to give extra thanks to Shine?]

[Mmhmm, your captain is the most pitiful, e, less, se, n come and kowtow to him]

Splendid quickly replied:

[Unforgettable is because everyone is very good, growth is because the understanding of career has changed]

[Well, that day I had something to do temporarily]

[Because I am a fan of Shine, I like him very much]

[Mmhmm, I’ll give you a kowtow and shut up, okay?]

Splendid has said this, but there were still some people who saw the hilarity and stirred up trouble, commenting on R.H’s official blog:

[You guys are really good at training a dog]

“Don’t pay attention, just ignore it,” Old Tan warned everyone, “The management will block it.”

Cheese held the mobile phone: “I don’t care, and I have to deduct my money if I reply. Anyway, little fish blowing bubbles will certainly help us scold back.”

Qi Xian scrolled through Weibo and soon saw little fish blowing bubbles’ reply: [Your fart smells so bad]

Qi Xian refrained from giving little fish blowing bubbles a thumbs up, scrolled down, and saw that Shi Du had reposted this comment.

“It’s too late.”

Old Tan:?

Qi Xian said leisurely: “A certain unqualified younger brother has already scolded him back.”

Old Tan:?

Old Tan snatched Qi Xian’s cell phone.

[Timeless: So clear about R.H’s dog training skills, you haven’t been trained? No wonder you bark so loudly :)]

Old Tan choked for a while: “Timeless!”

“Calm down,” Shi Du said lazily, “I will pay the fine.”

Both the league and the club have regulations that active professional players cannot post any unqualified comments related to the event on the public platform.

“You delete your Weibo post first!”

“Okay, you can remind me in three days.”

“One thousand more fines a day!”

The young master was very arrogant: “Then give me a week.”

Old Tan’s blood pressure suddenly went up. He pinched himself and said, “Shine, I can’t control him anymore, you do it.”

Yu Zhaohan then said, “Timeless.”

Shi Du’s face was pure and innocent: “Captain?”

“Next time, use a second account to scold.”

Old Tan: “…”

Shi Du laughed and said, “That’s so annoying, I want him to know that I’m scolding him.”

When Yu Zhaohan said this, Shi Du vaguely thought of something. When Yu Zhaohan was called by Lu Youshan to watch the training match of the academy team, he asked Cheese: “What is the name of that fan you keep talking about called little fish something?”

“Blowing bubbles.” Cheese said, “He is called little fish blowing bubbles.”

Shi Du was thoughtful: “Little fish blowing bubbles.”

On Sunday’s rest day, Shi Du gave a report to Cheese and brought little kneeling into the room so Yu Zhaohan can pet it. Yu Zhaohan bought a small orange hat for little kneeling online and wanted to put it on.

The small orange hat had two holes, just big enough to fit through the little kneeling’s two ears. “I’m starting to be curious about your online shopping records,” Shi Du said as he watched Yu Zhaohan clumsily put a hat on the rabbit.

Yu Zhaohan said: “This is very private, even Shi Du can’t see it.”

“Then can your mother see?”

Why does this have to do with his mother?

Yu Zhaohan said, “No.”

Shi Du said with satisfaction: “Very good.”

Little Kneeling puts on the hat to such an extent that it can empty a person’s blood-bar. Yu Zhaohan kissed it, and even Shi Du couldn’t help taking out his phone to take a picture and posted it on Weibo.

Shi Du suddenly asked, “Yuyu, do you have a Weibo account?”

Yu Zhaohan’s action of kissing the rabbit was stagnant: “I didn’t.”

This was also a very private matter, so he can’t tell Shi Du about it. Even he needs a place where no one knows who he is and where he can do whatever he wants. He couldn’t talk about some things with Shi Du, but he could with strangers. For example, when Shi Du was doing something bad on purpose, he couldn’t speak ill of Shi Du in person.

Shi Du said “Oh” slowly. At this time, the mobile phones of the two vibrated at the same time, and it was the bank’s collection information: income RMB, 500,000.

Yu Zhaohan said strangely: “Today is not the payday.”

They were not the only ones who received such a large sum of money, and there were both question marks and exclamation marks in the team group chat. Old Tan explained that this was the share of merchandise sold both online and offline. When they played with TCO at homecourt, the little boss said that if they won, this portion of the income would be used as a bonus for them.

[Cheese: Thank you for the gift of nature… No, thank you for the gift of the little boss. I’m going to place an order for my wife’s new one-to-one genuine figure now~]

[Old Tan: You are not allowed to bring your wife back to the base, there is no place for you to put it]

[Qi Xian: Coincidentally, my flower shop is short of a renovation fee]

[Jiang Di: Can a rowing machine be added to the gym? I’ll pay for it]

Yu Zhaohan counted carefully, and there were a lot of words in Xiao Jiang’s sentence. If it was him, he would definitely just say “Add a rowing machine, I’ll pay,” which was not much colder than Xiao Jiang.

The unexpected money is usually spent on hobbies. Cheese likes to collect figurines, Xiao Jiang loves to lift irons, and Qi Xian loves flowers and plants, and even invested in a flower shop. In contrast, Shi Du’s hobbies save a lot of money.

“Yuyu, let’s go out and have a good meal.” Shi Du said, “A few days ago, I saw a video of exploring a restaurant where there is a very authentic Dai cuisine.”

Yu Zhaohan looked indifferent: “You want me to be your driver again.”

“I’ll hold you in the driver’s seat.”

Yu Zhaohan: “…Then you have to wear a hat like little kneeling.”

He didn’t want to be recognized by fans anymore because of Shi Du’s gray hair.

Shi Du smiled and said, “Wear wear wear.”

The shop Shi Du was looking for was not a high-end place, and one or two hundred per person could fill his stomach. The two ordered a special hand pilaf of the Dai nationality— a large dustpan covered with banana leaves, with glutinous golden pineapple rice in the middle, surrounded by grilled fish, shredded chicken, fried pork ribs with fragrant mango, and other side dishes.

It was Yu Zhaohan’s first time cooking rice with his hands, and he felt a refreshing feeling of letting himself go, and couldn’t stop at all. Shi Du was worried that he would not be able to digest it after eating too much, so he said, “If you eat any more, I won’t be able to carry you later.”

Yu Zhaohan looked at him: “You are useless.”

Shi Du: “…”

“If it was Xiao Jiang, he would definitely be able to pick me up with one hand.”

Shi Du smiled angrily: “It’s you who won’t let me become a muscular man like Xiao Jiang, and you’re the one who thinks I’m not as good as Xiao Jiang— Yu Zhaohan, you scumbag.”

Yu Zhaohan reflected on his behavior, and said sincerely: “It seems a bit scumbag, I’m sorry.”

Shi Du’s anger disappeared just like that.

After eating, Shi Du called the waiter to pay the bill. Yu Zhaohan said, “I want to treat you.”

Shi Du ignored him, and said to the waiter, “Alipay, thank you.”

The waiter smiled and said, “Then I’ll scan you.”

With a beep, the payment failed.

The waiter continued to smile: “Sorry, your balance seems to be insufficient.”

Shi Du: “…Huh?”

Yu Zhaohan looked at Shi Du sympathetically. In this wave, the imperial concubine’s compulsion in his heart dropped sharply, almost to the same level as that of Concubine Zhi.

However, the imperial concubine himself didn’t feel ashamed at all, and said lightly: “Oh, let’s change to WeChat.”

There was another beep, and the payment was successful. Shi Du looked at his payment interface, lost in thought.

Yu Zhaohan asked: “What’s wrong?”

“It should be that my dad has suspended all my cards, but he can’t control the only salary card left. Laughing, what age is it, and he still plays economic sanctions with me.” Shi Du sneered, “Did he think if I can’t make money, I will be afraid of him?”

Yu Zhaohan thought about it and said, “Why don’t you just delete the comment that you dislike a hater, you will pay a fine of a thousand a day.”

“No, I’m not short of those thousands.” Shi Du opened the bank app, “Yuyu, let me show you my salary card.”

“I don’t want to see it,” Yu Zhaohan stated. Even if he doesn’t look at it, he can guess the approximate range. Shi Du hasn’t been working professionally for a long time, and he was too lazy to accept endorsements. His personal assets should be worth between 15 and 20 million.

“You have to see.” Shi Du insisted unexpectedly, “Come here.”

Yu Zhaohan didn’t understand Shi Du’s insistence: “Why do you have to let me see? It’s not like I’m your wife.”

Shi Du was taken aback for a moment, and emphasized again: “In short, I’m not poor.”

“But you should be poorer than me by now.”

Shi Du: “…”

Yu Zhaohan gave advice as a senior: “Why don’t you buy a suite first? If you are kicked out of the house and your property is frozen, you won’t be homeless.”

Shi Du said hesitantly, “I already have a lot of assets under my name.”

“Those houses should be given to you by your parents? I suggest you buy one with your own money.” Yu Zhaohan said, “I have a house in Shanghai, and I bought it with my own money. Isn’t it amazing?”

Shi Du raised his eyebrows: “It’s not impossible.”

He only made a few million in the IPL when he was a rookie, but R.H spent a lot of money signing him, so buying a house was not a big problem.

Yu Zhaohan hinted slightly: “You know the housing prices in Shanghai.”

“I know.” Shi Du said, “But I only have a Beijing residence, so can I buy it in Shanghai instead of in Beijing?”

Yu Zhaohan continued to hint: “Yes. Shi Du, I bought a house at the age of eighteen, isn’t it amazing?”

Shi Du pretended not to hear his bragging intentions: “I’m also eighteen years old. In fact, as long as I’m financially independent, they can’t control me. Right?”

Yu Zhaohan hinted frantically: “Yes. My house is one hundred and fifty square meters, awesome right?”

“Then I will consult someone tomorrow.”

Yu Zhaohan: “…”

He really likes Shi Du, but now he really wants to strangle Shi Du to death.

Yu Zhaohan couldn’t bear it anymore, and said coldly: “I want you to praise me, don’t you see it?”

Shi Du lowered his head and laughed, and when he looked up at him, his eyes seemed to be different from before, as if he was serious but also as if he was teasing: “You are very powerful, but also very cute.”

Yu Zhaohan didn’t want to strangle Shi Du to death anymore. He bent his lips and smiled slightly at the boy: “Am I really cute?”

Is the point of this Yuyu wrong? Didn’t you want to be praised just now?

Shi Du wanted to laugh at him but was flustered by Yu Zhaohan’s smile, so he couldn’t help lowering his voice: “…It seems so.”

Yu Zhaohan smiled a little wider, the kind that was about to show his teeth: “Thank you.”

One of the two dared to speak and the other readily listened. Shi Du actually asked a friend about buying a house. A friend asked him what requirements he had, and he said, “It must be more than one hundred and fifty square meters, the kitchen must be large, it must be in an urban area, and the surrounding facilities must be complete. Remember, it must be more than one hundred and fifty square meters.”

After hearing this, his friend told him to prepare twenty million, at least.

Shi Du looked at his bank card balance and fell into contemplation.
