The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

After hanging up the phone, Lan stared at the two people interacting intimately in the live broadcast room, tapping lightly on the table with his slender fingers.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a meaningful smile, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

"Interesting..." He whispered to himself, a dangerous tone in his voice, "It seems our Master Qin has finally found a new toy."

He picked up his phone and opened his official account. His fingers swiped across the screen, editing a seemingly gentle but actually cryptic text:

Today I ran into an old teammate leading a new player. It was so nostalgic. But I have to warn some new streamers: the pro scene is a very complex place. Be careful not to be fooled by some people's superficial kindness. [smile][smile] Also, my old teammate hasn't played professionally in a while, so be sure not to mislead the young players.

After hitting send, this post immediately caused a stir in the esports community. Lan's fans retweeted and commented, and all sorts of speculation and conspiracy theories spread instantly.

At the same time, in another training room, Qi Yu was staring at the screen of his mobile phone, his expression becoming increasingly ugly.

As Qin's long-time friend and former teammate, he has been following Qin and Wenrou's live broadcasts.

Seeing Lan suddenly break into the live broadcast room to provoke him, he was so angry that he almost threw his phone.

"Fuck! Is that Lan crazy?!" Qi Yu finally couldn't help but call Qin and started cursing the moment he answered. "It was clearly him who was responsible for that incident back then... and now he dares to cause trouble in the live broadcast room? He's simply getting more and more aggressive!"

On the other end of the phone, Qin's voice was unusually calm: "Don't get excited."

"How can I not be excited?" Qi Yu paced back and forth in the training room. "The post he posted now is clearly implying that you're not doing the right thing! Someone in the comment section has already started to stir up trouble!"

Qin was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'll take care of it."

"Deal with it? How are you going to deal with it?" Qi Yu was so anxious that he kept grabbing his hair. "If it were up to me, we should just make the incident public! That way he wouldn't have to play the victim all day long!"

"No." Qin's tone suddenly became stern. "Do you still want to play professionally? Do you want to let the other team members' years of hard work go to waste?"

Qi Yu was about to say something when he suddenly heard a gentle voice from the other end of the phone: "Master...um...my live broadcast room suddenly had a lot of strange comments..."

Qin's voice immediately softened. "Ignore them. Focus on training."

Hearing this drastic change in tone, Qi Yu suddenly understood something. He sighed, "Qin...you can't really..."

"Hang up." Qin ended the call decisively.

Qi Yu looked at the black phone screen and shook his head helplessly.

He reopened the live streaming platform and happened to see Wenrou clumsily manipulating her character to comfort Qin. Watching the two interacting in perfect harmony, Qi Yu's mouth curled up unconsciously.

"This kid..." he muttered with a smile, "Finally got it."

Meanwhile, Lan was watching with satisfaction as the comments section under his own post became increasingly lively. Speculations and conspiracy theories were brewing, and some were already digging into Qin's past.

"The game has just begun..." Lan muttered to himself, a calculating glint in his eyes. He picked up his phone and dialed another number: "Hello, it's me. I heard you have some media resources? Do me a favor..."

Wenrou has been absent-minded at work these days.

During lunch break, she hid in a corner of the company's tea room, her fingers constantly refreshing the pages of her phone. Almost overnight, negative information about Qin appeared on Weibo, Tieba, and major gaming forums.

Shocking! Former professional player Qin is actually this kind of person

Exclusive revelation: The inside story of Qin's retirement

Insider reveals: Qin excludes teammates

Every headline stabbed her heart like a knife. She clicked on the most popular post, and the so-called "hard evidence" inside was just a few blurry screenshots of chat logs and anonymous revelations from a few people claiming to be "former teammates."

"How could this happen..." Wenrou bit her lower lip, her fingers unconsciously clenching the phone. These so-called negative materials were completely different from the master she knew.

"Assistant Wen?"

A deep voice suddenly sounded behind her, frightening Wenrou so much that she almost dropped her phone. She turned around in panic and met Qin Xiao's deep gaze.

"Mr. Qin..." Wenrou hurriedly hid her phone behind her back, her cheeks slightly hot because of her guilty conscience.

Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze lingering on her reddened ears for a second: "Are you still so busy during lunch break?"

"No, no..." Wenrou lowered her head, her voice getting smaller and smaller, "I just... read some news..."

Qin Xiao's eyes swept over the phone she was holding tightly, then looked at the dark circles under her eyes that were obviously caused by lack of sleep, and suddenly said, "Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner."

"Ah?" Wenrou suddenly looked up, her eyes wide open.

"Seven o'clock, at the Japanese restaurant downstairs from the company." Qin Xiao said, and turned and left without waiting for her answer, leaving behind only a faint scent of cold perfume.

Wenrou stood there in a daze, her mind blank. Why did Mr. Qin invite her to dinner? Could it be that something had gone wrong at work recently?

After get off work, Wenrou arrived at the Japanese restaurant with trepidation. She pushed open the door to the private room and saw Qin Xiao already sitting there, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the table.

"Sit down." He gestured for Wenrou to sit down, his voice a little softer than usual.

After the waiter served the dishes and left, the room fell into a brief silence. Wenrou nervously grasped her chopsticks, unsure of what to say.

"Tell me," Qin Xiao suddenly said, "Why have you been so absent-minded these past few days?"

Her gentle fingers trembled, and her chopsticks almost fell on the table. She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It's just... I have a friend... who's been in some trouble recently..."

"Friend?" Qin Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly. "What trouble?"

"A lot of bad things about him suddenly appeared online." The gentle voice became lower and lower. "I know he is not that kind of person, but..."

"but what?"

"But those rumors have spread too widely. I'm worried it will affect him..." Wenrou raised her head, a worried glint in her eyes. "And my friend... he actually cares a lot about what others think, but he never says it..."
