God Level Summoner Chapter 129-131

Chapter 129 – Growth (2)

In the second round, Zhuo Hang and Li Xiaojiang learned a lesson from the previous game. Li Xiaojiang paid more attention to his position and tried to walk behind Zhuo Hang, not letting the other side's black magician find an opportunity to split them up into 1v1.

However, they didn't have much experience in the compet.i.tion and were no match for professional players who had been playing for more than two years.

Five minutes after the game started, the carefully maintained situation was broken.

The reason was that the the angle of the berserker's Mountain Chop move was extremely tricky. It caused a deep crack in the ground while also stunning Li Xiaojiang!

Li Xiaojiang's attack rhythm was interrupted, giving the other side a chance.

The captain and vice-captain of Yaohua joined forces to kill Zhuo Hang. Zhuo Hang used Flying Feather Steps to move quickly while putting traps, trying to delay things for a period of time.

Once Li Xiaojiang's stun effect was over, Zhuo Hang said in the voice channel, "Open a big move and kill the berserker!"

The berserker might be thick skinned but a black magician was more painful in close combat. In addition, the berserker had stepped on several traps when chasing Zhuo Hang and didn't have much blood left.

Li Xiaojiang immediately hid behind a tree to read a big move.

The casting time was so long that the game setting allowed a black magician to change the angle of the camera in the middle. As long as the last shot was in the right direction, he could successfully hit the other person.

However, the other person was moving and it wasn't so easy to find the right direction.

Fortunately, Li Xiaojiang's observation ability was very strong and he was also a careful person. He quickly guessed the movements of the berserker and aimed at the position that the other person was about to reach, casting the ultimate black magic.

Shadow Wrath!

This was a black magician's most aggressive move. Li Xiaojiang's skill points were all added into magic attack and once the skill accurately hit, it directly wiped out the b.l.o.o.d.y berserker!

[Snail Crawling Slowly has killed Escape Without a Trace!]

This made Li Xiaojiang shocked. He looked over and found that Zhuo Hang was too close to the berserker. The result was that Zhuo Hang was killed by the black magician behind the berserker.

[Glittering Flower killed Great Navigator!]

It was equivalent to a head exchange, changing from 2v2 to 1v1.

Li Xiaojiang had a bad feeling. The opponent had more blood than him and the casting speed was over faster. His hope of winning seemed small…

Still, Li Xiaojiang held on for a while. Unfortunately, in the end he failed to kill the opponent.

***

The second round once again ended in a loss. The two people lowered their heads, their expressions somewhat frustrated.

Then after a few moments, Zhuo Hang regained his spirit and patted Xiao Li's shoulder. "It's fine. We tried our best. We are just starting and our cooperation isn't the best yet. It will improve in the future."

Li Xiaojiang was startled. He had been very sad the moment he lost the 1v1 and thought Zhuo Hang would be upset with him. The result was that Zhuo Hang didn't say anything about that and generously comforted him.

Zhuo Hang's heart was actually a bit uncomfortable but he felt reluctant to say anything after seeing Li Xiaojiang's depressed face. He felt that Xiao Li's 1v1 wasn't easy. If Zhuo Hang said something, wouldn't Xiao Li become more upset?

Su Guangmo and Tan s.h.i.tian never succ.u.mbed because of a loss. They only scolded the players when the mistakes were due to things like distraction, carelessness and underestimating the opponent. As long as they played as hard as possible, the loss didn't matter. How could two newcomers expect to beat the champion team of the second division as soon as they started?

Zhuo Hang understood this and acted quite generously.

Yes, teammates should encourage each other, not hate each other!

It was naturally exciting if they had won but since they lost, he should stand with Li Xiaojiang and face everything together, sharing the responsibility of losing the game.

They were a combination, not independent individuals. The combination should advance and retreat together.

Zhuo Hang thought up to here and grabbed Li Xiaojiang's hand. "Losing is losing. Don't worry too much. Cat G.o.d shouldn't scold us. Even if he wants to scold us, it should be both of us!"

Li Xiaojiang, "…"

Li Xiaojiang's heart became warm as he was pulled down from the contestant area. It was as if the hot temperature of Zhuo Hang's hand was pa.s.sed through the skin and blood vessels into the depths of his heart.

This feeling was very different from when they lost the first match.

They once again lost but Li Xiaojiang's mood wasn't as uncomfortable as the first loss.

He was walking with Zhuo Hang as a teammate instead of alone. This was a very warm feeling. No matter what happened, he would have someone walking beside him and facing the consequences together.

This person used to be particularly arrogant and didn't like to take care of Li Xiaojiang. Now he had changed. He thought of them as partners. If they won then accept the praise, if they lost then accept the lesson together. This was because they were a combination.

The fast and slow combination might still be a bit immature in the eyes of many people but they were teammates who stood together. They would cooperate with each other and slowly explore the game. After that, they would progress and grow together.

Li Xiaojiang's expression gradually became calmer.

He walked with Zhuo Hang to Li Cangyu and both of them lowered their heads, ready to accept Cat G.o.d's lecture.

Li Cangyu smiled and reached out to touch their heads. He declared, "You played well."

Zhuo Hang and Li Xiaojiang looked at each other.

Li Cangyu's voice seemed a bit hoa.r.s.e but his eyes were very gentle. "At the very least, you played to your own level. The loss was because your understanding of each other wasn't high enough. The Yaohua captain and vice-captain have been teammates for two years. You have just started to cooperate. Killing one person in the second round is already very good.

Li Cangyu paused and coughed twice before continuing. "I'm not asking you to win the games. I just want to see you progress. Today, both of you made a lot of progress in terms of cooperation and mentality. I am very satisfied. There is no need to blame yourselves."

This sentence was true. In particular, the scene where Zhuo Hang comforted Li Xiaojiang after the loss made Li Cangyu feel very warm.

As Tan s.h.i.tian said, Zhuo Hang was a young master who was spoiled by his parents from a young age. He was a bit arrogant and superior but his heart wasn't bad. After understanding the truth, he took the initiative to pull down his arrogance and get along with Li Xiaojiang. Li Cangyu was extremely pleased.

Li Cangyu saw that the two of them still had lowered heads and smiled. "Okay, don't make a mistake. Go back and watch the next team battle. Once your combination is almost honed, I will let you partic.i.p.ate in the team battle."

The two of them immediately nodded and sat upright in their seats, looking like students listening attentively.

Bai Xuan looked at the scene and couldn't help coming over. "Did you scold them?"

Li Cangyu shrugged. "I wasn't fierce and encouraged them with a few words. The two of them are probably wondering why I didn't lecture them."

Bai Xuan, “…”

Li Cangyu laughed. "Okay, get ready for the team battle."

***

Canglan had lost 0:2 in the arena stage and it was time for the team battle.

This time, Li Cangyu's map selection finally changed to Moonlight Waterfront.

The war map often appeared in the league and Li Cangyu obviously wanted to test the team's ability to fight on water.

To the audience's surprise, Cat G.o.d actually made a serious mistake on this home map. His pets' attacks were on cooldown when he attacked the opponent in the water. He ended up being controlled by the opponent and killed.

[Glittering Flower killed Old Cat!]

The audience saw Cat G.o.d lying flat in the water and looked at each other.

Chen Weiwei also made a disbelieving expression. "This… Cat G.o.d shouldn't make this type of mistake right?"

Shao Yu also said, "It feels that Cat G.o.d isn't quite right in today's team battle."

In the soundproof room, the camera immediately zoomed into Li Cangyu. The audience found that Cat G.o.d's face was very serious and he seemed to be enduring something. After his character died, he gently rubbed his forehead with his hand. Did he have a headache?

Wasn't he normal when comforting the two teenagers just now? How did he suddenly make a mistake?

To the surprise of the audience, Li Cangyu met the other team after being killed once and actually made a mistake again… he sent the opponent his head twice!

Comments started to fill the live broadcast room. [Cat G.o.d sent two heads, what's the matter?] [Did Cat G.o.d faint?] [Cat G.o.d's expression is scary. What's wrong?]

The audience couldn't guess it but Ling Xuefeng immediately realized after watching the live broadcast and couldn't help frowning.

The game dragged on to 30 minutes. Due to the small mistakes, Canglan had an economic disadvantage. In the end, Li Cangyu led a counterattack and succeeded in killing the fire dragon. Then Canglan pushed to the crystal in one breath, taking 5 points in a thrilling manner.

However, in the second and third rounds, Canglan's mistakes became more frequent. The audience was confused and finally a bit loss.

The final score of the match was determined to be 5:14, with Canglan only winning one game.

This result wasn't too bad., After all, the Yaohua team truly wasn't weak. Still, today's three team battles were a bit strange. In particular, Cat G.o.d's continuous mistakes made many viewers feel puzzled.

Chen Weiwei tried to help Cat G.o.d. "Cough, maybe Cat G.o.d's state isn't right today?"

Shao Yu also said, "It is normal for people to make mistakes. We don't need to be too surprised. We have to wait for the reporter to interview Cat G.o.d to find out the specific reason."

Li Cangyu came down from the stage. Bai Xuan immediately came to his side and asked worriedly, "Are you uncomfortable?"

"…" Li Cangyu pressed a hand to his forehead. "Let's go back first."

Just then, Li Cangyu's phone rang. He saw that the caller ID was Ling Xuefeng and turned to one side to pick up the phone. He said tiredly, "Hey Xuefeng, were you looking for me?"

Ling Xuefeng asked directly, "Are you sick?"

Li Cangyu smiled bitterly. "It seems so."

Ling Xuefeng frowned. "What do you mean? Shouldn't you know if you are sick?"

“I didn't think it was serious.” Li Cangyu sighed. "It was raining in Guangzhou yesterday afternoon. I was drenched in rain when I returned to the hotel and had a headache in the morning. I am used to having headaches and didn't pay attention. Then it became more and more uncomfortable in the afternoon.  Cough… while I was playing the game, I felt like I was sleepwalking. My head was muddled."

Ling Xuefeng heard his hoa.r.s.e voice and frowned even more.

It turned out that Li Cangyu was sick. No wonder why he made mistakes when playing the game.

He thought of this always strong man being sick and couldn't help softening. He whispered, "Hurry back to your hotel to rest. Don't force it. If you can't play the team then let Bai Xuan lead Canglan."

Li Cangyu touched his nose and smiled at Ling Xuefeng's serious commanding tone. "Okay."

Ling Xuefeng immediately hung up and used his phone to book a ticket to Guangzhou.

Li Cangyu was sick and Ling Xuefeng didn't want to stay in Shanghai. He wanted to immediately fly to Li Cangyu's side. This person, he definitely wouldn't let his teammates worry about him. What would happen if there was no one around to take care of him?

Chapter 130 – Unexpected Visitor

Li Cangyu was healthy from a young age and rarely fell ill. He had been rained on before but never caught a cold. Yesterday afternoon, the Canglan team didn't have a match. Li Cangyu explored the vicinity to see if there was a good restaurant. In a few days, he would lead his teammates there to improve their meals. Then the weather in Guangzhou suddenly changed and he encountered a torrential rain when coming back. He was drenched like a drowned chicken. Combined with the low temperature of the hotel's air conditioner, he got a cold and sneezed when he woke up this morning.

He had always been in good health and didn't pay much attention to it as he went to the venue with his teammates.

Unexpectedly, his body became more uncomfortable in the afternoon. At this point, it was too late to change the members partic.i.p.ating. Li Cangyu had to bear it but the reaction of his mind slowed down and his fingers couldn't keep up. His mistakes caused Canglan to lose two consecutive team battles.

This result made Li Cangyu felt extremely guilty. He didn't expect that he would influence everyone like this.

Once he returned to the hotel, he called the players to his room and frankly admitted his mistake. "Today's team battle is my mistake. I'm sorry. I didn't get one work and wasted your hard work."

His voice was hoa.r.s.e like there was a large amount of sand in his throat. It was difficult to speak but he still gave an account to his teammates. The team members naturally didn't blame such a responsible captain. Instead, they felt distressed.

Bai Xuan looked at Li Cangyu with worry and said softly, "You are in a bad state, Don't blame yourself, we don't blame you. In any case, it is just the regular season. Losing a few points has little impact on us."

Xie Shurong smiled and echoed the words. "Vice-Captain Bai is right. Cat G.o.d, don't mind it. This game was good practice."

Zhang Jueming asked, “How are you feeling? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Li Cangyu waved his hand. "I'm fine, I just need to rest."

Li Cangyu saw the four youngster's worry for him and felt warm. He smiled and declared, "I'm really fine. It is just a small cold. If my cold isn't better by the next match tomorrow afternoon then…"

Li Cangyu's eyes swept over the teammates in front of him before finally stopping on Zhang Jueming. "Old Zhang, how about you arrange it?"

Zhang Jueming was startled. "Me?"

"You used to be captain and it isn't the first time you've directed a match. I will let you arrange the next match."

"Shouldn't it be arranged by Vice-Captain Bai?" Zhang Jueming looked back at Bai Xuan.

Bai Xuan touched his nose and muttered in an embarra.s.sed manner, "I can only add blood. I'm not good at tactics."

Li Cangyu agreed. "Xiao Bai has never commanded. He is the healer and has to take care of everyone's blood. He will be too distracted to see the opposite side's situation. I will leave it to you."

Zhang Jueming readily nodded. "Since you believe in me so much, I will try it. Don't lecture me if I lose!"

"It won't happen." Li Cangyu smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "You arrange the next match with everyone. I have a headache and will go to sleep first."

Zhang Jueming quickly said, "Then go to rest. We will go to Vice-Captain Bai's room to discuss it." He looked at the four teenagers and gestured. "Kids, let's go! Don't argue with Cat G.o.d!"

The four youngsters immediately followed behind Uncle Zhang.

Xiao Han reached the door when he turned around and said, "Master, take a good rest. Qin Mo said you should drink hot water if you have a cold."

Li Cangyu waved at him. "Yes, go ahead." He paused before calling out, "Come back!"

Xiao Han had just stepped out of the door and returned when he heard the words. "Master, what's wrong?"

Li Cangyu wondered, "You seem to be getting along well with Qin Mo?"

Xiao Han nodded. "Yes, my Chinese is relatively poor. I have been chatting with Qin Mo every day to practice my grammar."

Li Cangyu, "…"

Was he sure that Qin Mo's Chinese was good?

Xiao Han continued, "Many people in the Wind Colour team watched today's match. Master made many mistakes in the game so once it ended, Qin Mo asked me what was going on. I told him that Master has a cold."

It was no wonder why Ling Xuefeng called him. It seemed his confusing performance today was seen by many people in the league!

Li Cangyu was too lazy to worry about these things. He waved his hand and ordered, "Okay, you can go."

Xiao Han turned and walked away, carefully closing the door for his master.

Li Cangyu touched his aching head, took off his coat and lay on the bed to sleep.

He was sleeping so deeply that he didn't hear his phone ringing. Once he woke up, it was the next morning and he had a large number of missed calls. They were all from Cheng Wei.

There were also several serial bombing messages: [Cat G.o.d, what's wrong? Your mistakes were a bit strange. Were you in bad shape?] [Cat G.o.d, why aren't you answering your phone?] [Cat G.o.d, Cat G.o.d! Cat G.o.d, read my messages and reply to me!]

Li Cangyu sent back: [I just woke up. It's nothing. I wasn't in good shape yesterday.]

He didn't want to tell Cheng Wei about the cold. Once he knew, it might spread through the entire Miracle League. There was no need to make such a big fuss for a small cold.

Cheng Wei saw the text message and immediately replied: [You're not in good shape? Then take a break! Don't be too tired! Your body is your a.s.set!]

Li Cangyu looked at the row of exclamation points and helplessly replied: [I know.]

Cheng Wei, this guy always had an excitable personality but his concern was particularly direct.

Li Cangyu put down his phone and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

His headache was still very strong and he was slightly dizzy. The confusion was like his mind had become messy paste and his thoughts were sluggish. He took a long time to send the text message because his fingers weren't too stable. It seemed that he really couldn't play today's match. Fortunately he let Old Zhang arrange it yesterday.

He just thought this when Zhang Jueming opened the door and saw that he got up.  Zhang Jueming placed a bowl of rice porridge and a bag of buns on the table, stating, "Vice-Captain Bai had me bring you breakfast. Wash your face and eat a bit. How are you? Is it better?"

Li Cangyu didn't want his teammates to worry so he reluctantly smiled. "It is much better. Don't worry about me and go play the game."

Zhang Jueming asked, "You aren't going to watch?"

"Yes, I'm a bit tired and will take the day off at the hotel. Please tell everyone else."

Zhang Jueming nodded. "Okay, have a good rest. I'll take them to lunch first then we will head to the venue after eating."

Li Cangyu said, "I'll cheer for you."

Once Zhang Jueming left, Li Cangyu sat on the bed and saw the bowl of porridge and hot steamed buns on the table. He didn't eat dinner last night and still didn't have an appet.i.te. He opened the porridge to take a look and didn't feel like eating. He just went back to bed to sleep.

***

The Canglan team ate lunch at the hotel. Zhang Jueming explained while eating, "The arena will be Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Li. Cat G.o.d won't be in the team battle. This means that Xiao Li will play and be the main output. Everyone will protect you. Just read your spells with confidence. Everyone should remember how to split up based on our discussion last night. Remember to listen to my commands."

The youngsters nodded while Ah Shu and Bai Xuan didn't have much opinion.

Zhang Jueming had left the Miracle League for many years but he was once an aspiring captain. He wanted to win the championship to prove his strength but unfortunately had to leave.

When he was young, he worked hard to study the various pairings and styles of Miracle. Despite leaving for several years, these things were deeply engraved into his bone marrow and were still as clear as yesterday.

He was a person who had been a captain. He was very different from a temporary commander.

Bai Xuan listened to his quick a.n.a.lysis of the tactics and the lineup arrangement and felt relief for Li Cangyu. Li Cangyu carried everything in the old Canglan team. Now they had Old Zhang. If Li Cangyu felt uncomfortable, he could share some of the pressure.

Bai Xuan's healing level was first-cla.s.s but he wasn't proficient in tactics. Ah Shu's personal strength was high but he didn't have many ideas when it came to commanding the team battles. At the crucial moment, Old Zhang could control the scene for the Canglan team.

Once they finished eating, Zhang Jueming headed to the arena with his teammates. They had just walked to the hotel's lobby when they saw an unexpected figure—Ling Xuefeng.

The man was wearing a black trench coat and there was no expression on his handsome face. He stood there as if waiting for someone.

Once he saw the group, he immediately strode to Bai Xuan and asked, "Where is your captain?"

The startled Bai Xuan replied, "He is resting in his room."

Ling Xuefeng demanded, "Who lives with him? Give me your door card."

Bai Xuan had some doubts. "Captain Ling, did you come here looking for Cat G.o.d?"

Ling Xuefeng didn't give much explanation. He just made a sound of agreement and said, "Give me the door card. I will go straight to him."

Zhang Jueming thought it was strange but it wasn't easy to refuse. He pulled out his door card from his pocket and handed it to him.

Ling Xuefeng turned and left, leaving the stunned group behind him.

A moment later, Xie Shurong couldn't help asking, "How can Ling Xuefeng appear here? Why is he looking for Cat G.o.d?"

Bai Xuan smiled. "Don't be curious. He is familiar with our captain and probably has something to discuss."

Xie Shurong stared at Ling Xuefeng's disappearing back and thoughtfully touched his chin. Bai Xuan saw him staring at Ling Xuefeng waiting by the elevator and pulled his arm. "Let's go and play. Don't worry about it."

Ah Shu was towed away by the vice-captain and other people had to follow.

They didn't ask on the surface but curiosity filled their hearts. Why did Ling Xuefeng suddenly come to the hotel to find Cat G.o.d? Shouldn't he be in Shanghai?

Chapter 131 – Ling Xuefeng Appearing Out of Nowhere

Li Cangyu was sleeping in a daze. He was sluggish and his fever turned his consciousness into a mess. There was a burst of pain from his temples and it felt like his head was going to burst. His throat was smoky and his forehead was so hot it was almost burning. His body was covered in sweat, making his clothes stick to him tightly. It was like sleeping in muddy water, really uncomfortable.

In his dreams, he seemed to have come to a hot desert. He wanted to drink water but couldn't find his way.

Li Cangyu struggled to open his eyes and find water to drink. To his surprise, he saw the door to his room open and a man entered.

Li Cangyu subconsciously asked, "Is it Old Zhang?  Pour me a gla.s.s of water…"

The man rushed to the bedside and tested the temperature of Li Cangyu's forehead with the back of his hand. Then he frowned and poured a gla.s.s of warm water. He leaned Li Cangyu against his chest and whispered, "Drink some water."

This voice didn't sound like Zhang Jueming.

Li Cangyu opened his eyes with much difficulty. The figure in front of him was a bit fuzzy but the faint scent, handsome side profile and the perfect chin allowed Li Cangyu to instantly recognize the other person. "Ling… Ling Xuefeng?"

Ling Xuefeng replied, "Yes. Come and drink water."

The cup was raised to his lips. The thirsty Li Cangyu immediately bowed his head and drank some water. The smokiness in his throat was relieved but his voice was still very hoa.r.s.e. He looked at the man in front of him with disbelief. "How are you here?"

Ling Xuefeng smiled slightly when he saw Li Cangyu's dazed look.

This person was also firm, decisive and vigorous, especially in the arena. His methods were powerful and his tactics unpredictable. He seemed to be afraid of nothing. Ling Xuefeng had never seen his sick appearance and didn't expect the sick Cat G.o.d to become so confused that his eyes couldn't focus…

This scene made Ling Xuefeng feel particularly distressed and he wanted to take good care of Li Cangyu.

It was probably that the stronger a person was, the more shocking it became when they fell down? Ling Xuefeng felt that his heart was going to melt when he saw Li Cangyu showing such a confused and uncomfortable expression.

He couldn't help reaching out to touch Li Cangyu's head and found that sweat had soaked his hair. Ling Xuefeng's low voice was filled with obvious gentleness. "I am your boyfriend and you are sick. Of course I have come to see you."

Li Cangyu didn't hear exactly what he was saying. He only captured the key word: boyfriend.

Li Cangyu knew that the man in front of him was his most trusted and favourite person and let down his defenses. He couldn't help reaching out to gently hug Ling Xuefeng and complained, "I feel bad."

This wasn't being spoiled. He was just showing his true feelings in front of his most trusted person.

He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to take his head off!

The headache caused by the cold was like an electric drill repeatedly drilling into his brain. Combined with the fever and sweating, his whole body seemed to be burning. This was the first time he had been so sick since he was born.

He didn't dare say these feelings in front of his teammates because he was afraid of affecting their mood when playing the match. He didn't need to be so scrupulous in front of Ling Xuefeng.

Ling Xuefeng saw Li Cangyu frowning and gently kissed his forehead. "I brought you cold medicine. Take some medicine and then have a good rest."

He pulled the cold medicine out of his pocket as he spoke. He measured the dosage according to the manual and then fed it to Li Cangyu. Then he raised the pillow and had Li Cangyu lean back before going to the bathroom and soaking a towel with cold water to place on Li Cangyu's forehead.

The cold temperature on his forehead made Li Cangyu have a moment of clearness. He looked at the man whose front profile gradually became clearer and asked, "Why did you come from Shanghai?"

Ling Xuefeng explained, "I saw the schedule. Canglan has a match both today and tomorrow. You are strong and definitely won't tell your teammates. Thus, they won't take care of you. I was worried and came to see for myself."

Li Cangyu was moved but his mouth still said, "The round-trip tickets are expensive. It is enough to buy two cars full of cold medicine. It wasn't necessary for you to go all this way."

Ling Xuefeng smiled and touched his head. "I have already come. Don't think about this mess and have a good sleep. I will pour you another gla.s.s of water."

Once he came back with the water, the cold tower had already heated up. Ling Xuefeng tested the temperature of the tower and went back to the bathroom. He washed the towel with cold water again and placed it on Li Cangyu's forehead.

Li Cangyu felt very comfortable as he was taken care of by Ling Xuefeng. His body was still a bit uncomfortable but his heart was warm.

Perhaps a sick person was easy to feel moved. The feeling of someone taking care of him was particularly excellent. Otherwise, he would be lying alone in the hotel and it would be very difficult if he wanted a gla.s.s of water.

Li Cangyu stared at Ling Xuefeng and didn't hide the love in his eyes.

Ling Xuefeng was shocked by these confused and dependent eyes. His heartbeat accelerated and if Li Cangyu wasn't sick, he would directly overpower Li Cangyu and kiss him all over his body.

Ling Xuefeng looked down and found that Li Cangyu had sweated too much. His clothes were stuck to his body, which was definitely uncomfortable. Ling Xuefeng helped him take off his clothes, used a towel to gently wipe the sweat off his body and found a new set of pyjamas for him to change to. Then he carefully covered Li Cangyu with the quilt.

Li Cangyu was too lazy to move. He waited until Ling Xuefeng changed his clothes for him and covered him with the quilt. His eyes were still staring at Ling Xuefeng.

Ling Xuefeng couldn't help asking, "Why are you staring at me?"

Li Cangyu declared, "I like you."

Ling Xuefeng, "…"

This person was really unstoppable when he took the initiative.

Ling Xuefeng couldn't hold back and gently kissed him.

Cat G.o.d's body temperature was particularly high. Once the tongue entered his mouth, the high temperature almost melted a person. Ling Xuefeng gently moved his tongue and sucked for a moment. Li Cangyu's head was already confused by the fever and he lost all sense of reason from the kiss. He reached out and hugged Ling Xuefeng's neck.

He seemed to notice that Ling Xuefeng's temperature was particularly comfortable and tightly hugged his person.

Ling Xuefeng was kissing when he found that Li Cangyu didn't respond. He looked down and found that this person had actually closed his eyes and fell asleep. Ling Xuefeng removed his mouth and gently licked the liquid against Li Cangyu's lips. Then he said softly, "Sleep well. I am here."

The dazed Li Cangyu heard this sentence and felt at ease, falling into a heavy sleep.

***

It was afternoon when he woke up again. Li Cangyu found that his entire body was wrapped around Ling Xuefeng like an octopus. Ling Xuefeng was calmly leaning against the bed, one hand wrapped around Li Cangyu's waist. It was a very indulgent manner and he showed no trace of impatience.

Li Cangyu didn't feel embarra.s.sed. It was great holding his wife while sleeping!

He felt much better after waking up. Ling Xuefeng saw the bright eyes shining at him and couldn't help smiling gently. He reached out to touch Li Cangyu's forehead and asked, "Is the fever gone?"

"Yes." Li Cangyu sat up and hugged Ling Xuefeng. "It feels much better. It's great that you came."

Ling Xuefeng hugged him back and felt it was worthwhile coming here.

Fortunately, he came in time when Li Cangyu needed him most.

Li Cangyu hugged the other person for a while before retracting his arms. "You suddenly ran to Guangzhou. Will there be any problems with the team?'

"It's fine, Vice-Captain Yan is there. Lately, it has just been routine training, meaning it doesn't matter if I'm not there." Ling Xuefeng paused before asking, "Are you hungry? I'll order something to eat."

Li Cangyu did feel hungry. He thought carefully and remembered that he hadn't eaten anything from last night to the present. He didn't have an appet.i.te this morning due to the fever. Now the fever was gone and he was aware of his empty stomach. He demanded, "I want to eat porridge."

Ling Xuefeng kissed his forehead and replied, "Then wait for me. I will order you a meal."

He went to the room's phone, flipped through the menu and had the staff send some food up. He thoughtfully asked for Li Cangyu's favourite porridge as well as some vegetarian dishes that were easy to digest.

The hotel staff soon sent up food. Ling Xuefeng took it to the bedside table and said, "Eat it."

Li Cangyu didn't eat, his black eyes staring at Ling Xuefeng.

Ling Xuefeng was puzzled. "What is it? Don't you want to eat?"

Li Cangyu told him, "I'm a patient."

Ling Xuefeng reached out and touched his forehead. "Is the fever back? Eat something first. You haven't eaten all day."

Li Cangyu shook his head. "My cold is better."

"Then you don't want to eat?"

Li Cangyu laughed. "How can you not understand? I mean that I'm a patient so you should feed me."

Ling Xuefeng, "…"

This person really wanted a mile after giving him an inch!

Ling Xuefeng saw the expectant expression and knew that this person was deliberately teasing him, but Ling Xuefeng had to recognize it.

He took a spoonful of the fish porridge and raised it to his mouth. Li Cangyu immediately opened his mouth and ate it while thinking, 'It is amazing to be taken care of by my wife. No wonder why a lot of people want to have a wife to go home to!'

Ling Xuefeng watched him take a serious sip of the porridge. Compared with the usual decisive Cat G.o.d, Li Cangyu was more like a greedy cat who was hungry. His contented face while being fed made Ling Xuefeng feel very soft. He wanted to keep this big cat for the rest of his life.

Ling Xuefeng smiled slightly and continued to feed Li Cangyu. Once the bowl of porridge was finished, Li Cangyu ate a few buns. Then he wiped his mouth with satisfaction and said, "I will get up and walk around. I have been lying in bed all night and day. The more I lie down, the worst my headache will become."

"Okay." Ling Xuefeng helped him up and handed him a gla.s.s of water.

Li Cangyu actively moved around the room and felt much better. Then he opened his laptop and opened to the live channel of the second division.

Half of the Canglan team's match was over. Zhuo Hang and Li Xiaojiang had tied with the other team in the first two games. The score on the big screen was 2:2. The two teams had each taken a game and were starting the third tiebreaker game.

When Li Cangyu opened the live channel, Zhuo Hang and Li Xiaojiang were in the midst of a fierce compet.i.tion with the other side. Zhuo Hang let out an explosive burst of hand speed and placed traps while Li Xiaojiang slowly cast his skills while moving. Every skill cast was extremely accurate.

The thing that surprised Li Cangyu was that the two youngsters joined forces and actually took the lead in killing the opposite side's swordsman. Then they joined forces to take care of the white magician and won the third game in one breath.

The final score of the arena was 4:2 and the Zhuo Li combination won for the first time!

During the intermission, Zhuo Li both excitedly ran off the stage to accept everyone's praise.

Li Cangyu wasn't at the venue but he was very pleased with the youngsters.

Of course, the opponent in this match was a weaker team in the second division. The victory of Zhuo Li didn't prove how good they were. Still, it showed that the tacit understanding between them was much higher than the previous match. As long as they slowly progressed and steadily gained experience, one day they would become a truly excellent combination in the arena.

Ling Xuefeng sat next to Li Cangyu to watch the game. Once the fight was over, he saw the gratified expression on Li Cangyu's face and couldn't help gently holding his shoulders. "Are you tired with four newbies playing?"

Every game he had to consider who to send out, who to train, what map was most appropriate to train on while also ensuring that the score wasn't bad enough to squeeze them out of the playoffs. Li Cangyu had to consume a lot of brain cells.

Li Cangyu didn't want to cover up in front of his lover. He spoke bluntly, "It is very hard but there is no other way. They are still small and need to be honed. Otherwise, they can only wait to be abused in the first division. The future of the Canglan team will be in their hands. I have to raise them as much as possible while I'm still on the team."

Ling Xuefeng whispered, "I understand that is hard. But are you happy?"

"Yes." The two of them stared at each other and smiled.

They were both captains and knew the pressure on each other's shoulders. There was no need to say anything else. Just one look was enough.

Li Cangyu saw the man who run all this way to take care of him and couldn't help saying, "It is troublesome for you to run from Shanghai to Guangzhou. Still, I'm really glad you came."

Nothing would happen to Li Cangyu if Ling Xuefeng didn't come. It was just a cold and he would get over it. It was just that no one would bring him medicine, pour him water, take care of the sweat from his fever, feed him and let him enjoy the treatment of a VIP patient.

This treatment was outstanding.

Having someone bring the water to his lips was much better than having to get up and pour water for himself.

Li Cangyu thought this and gently kissed Ling Xuefeng's lips. "If you are sick in the future, I will take good care of you."

It was a simple promise but it showed he would never leave.

Ling Xuefeng smiled and touched his head. Then he reached out and held Li Cangyu in his arms.

A tough person also needed someone to accompany him in times of need.

Ling Xuefeng was thankful that the moment when Li Cangyu needed care, it was him who was by Li Cangyu's side.
