Fu Yue's soul almost flew away after hearing Li Haoran's shocking words. He instinctively pressed his right arm against his nose, and as soon as the scent of fresh snow hit his nose, he slumped into his chair in despair.
It is over...
Not wanting to see his teammates' expressions, he promptly shut his eyes and decided to play dead.
Yang Yuxuan, the only Beta in the room, was unaffected by his pheromones. However, even though he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run. The owner of the pheromones that scared his ADC senseless was obvious.
Although he knew that the two would end up together sooner or later, he didn't expect his taciturn captain to act this fast.
Yang Yuxuan, who could be considered the president of Chenyue CP, nudged his dead mid laner with his elbow. He said with a meaningful smile, "Hey, don't you think you two skipped too many steps, hm?"
Fu Yue's body shook slightly from his poke, but he merely flattened his mouth, determined not to respond to his teasing at all costs.
Li Haoran may be the youngest, but he was surprisingly sharp when it came to this type of stuff. It didn't take him long to figure out the owner of these terrifying pheromones after seeing his Support's reaction. With his nose pinched, his voice appeared muffled; he blurted out his real thoughts, "Ah! No wonder you both did not check our group chat last night!"
The underlying meaning was so obvious that it forced Fu Yue to open his eyes to defend his and Wei Chen's innocence.
He said with a sense of urgency, ''It is not what you are thinki–''
However, before Fu Yue could even finish his sentence, his voice was cut off by another shriek.
''Ahhhh!''
Fu Yue was starting to have a headache. Even just using his toe, he knew that it was another victim of his.
Looking over, exhausted, he witnessed his top laner sprawled pitifully on the floor, terrified, staring back at him.
Fu Yue, "..." Damn this ABO world.
Fu Yue internally cursed at the absurdity of this world. With this kind of setting, how do you expect any couple to have privacy?
In any case, he could no longer avoid this topic. Might as well deal with this matter before his nominal boyfriend arrived and made things even more awkwar–
"What's happened?"
Fu Yue, "..." I'm tired.
Wei Chen, who had just taken another shower, appeared in his white casual wear looking exceptionally refreshed and energetic, no longer looking like he was in a grumpy mood.
If one were to make a comparison, he looked as if he had just had a good meal.
As for what meal he has just eaten…
At the thought of this, everyone subconsciously turned their heads toward their tired-looking mid laner, and they seemed to understand everything.
''Whatever you are thinking is wrong.''
Fu Yue could tell at one glance what those three were thinking. Without wasting any time, he immediately corrected them to prevent the situation from becoming even more awkward.
Since things have developed this far, in that case…
''However.''
Fu Yue stood up from the chair, and under everyone's astonished gaze, he walked in Wei Chen's direction and took the latter's hand in his before turning around to survey his teammates' expressions.
Upon seeing that, other than surprise, no negative emotions were detected, Fu Yue secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Although what he was going to say wouldn't change regardless of the positive or negative reception, he didn't wish to ruin the harmony of the team.
No longer entangled, he announced, ''The fact that we are dating is correct.''
Everyone was stunned with his straightforwardness, including Wei Chen.
Maybe it was because of his susceptible period or that today's surprises came one after another; Wei Chen merely stared blankly at Fu Yue.
The fact that his relationship had just been made public didn't seem to register in his head at all.
In fact, Wei Chen more or less figured out what was going on. Just as he was about to step forward to take the blame for his carelessness, Fu Yue beat him to it and made this announcement.
Instead of being happy with how the situation turned out, Wei Chen was rather upset. Not with Fu Yue but at himself for failing to control his pheromones, which forced Fu Yue to admit their relationship.
He knew that by dating him, Fu Yuen was putting his career on the line.
Wei Chen hated to be his stumbling block, but he really didn't want to miss the opportunity of being with him.
His mid laner was too outstanding; he was bound to attract a lot of bees and butterflies.
Wei Chen couldn't afford to be complacent.
The moment he decided to pursue Fu Yue, he had already considered all the risks involved and was ready to bear the brunt of it.
He wouldn't let Fu Yue think that accepting him was a mistake.
However, less than an hour after they became an official couple, he had already failed to do the most basic thing!
Wei Chen, who wouldn't even blink even if the sky was falling right in front of his eyes, suddenly became nervous.
He slightly pulled his hand to attract Fu Yue's attention and apologized in a low voice, "I am sorry, it's my fault…"
Hearing his apology coming out of nowhere, Fu Yue looked to the side in surprise only to meet with Wei Chen's anxious eyes.
Since he never attributed this situation to Wei Chen's fault, it took him a few seconds to figure out why the other person was reacting this way. After knowing the reason why, he couldn't help but be moved by his gesture.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say that he is feeling okay. If things were so simple, he wouldn't propose hiding their relationship in the first place.
This is his first time dating someone, and to make matters worse, his boyfriend is also the world number one Jungler, a Great God with countless fans all over the world.
In the past, Fu Yue had imagined himself being in a relationship, but even so, he never dreamt of dating a superstar one as big as Wei Chen.
He knew the consequences of dating Wei Chen, especially when he came here for the sole purpose of fulfilling his lifelong goal of lifting the trophy. Even so, he still went ahead and did it. From the moment he decided to do so, he never regretted his decision.
Now that the other side suddenly apologized, Fu Yue believed that no matter what happened in the future, he would never think that dating him was a mistake.
Look! Other Alphas only felt smug about marking their Omegas, but Wei Chen, a dominant Alpha with a 100% match rate, apologized for accidentally covering him with his pheromones during his susceptible period!
How did he manage to snatch such a good boyfriend?
Fu Yue assured him by patting the back of his hand. He boasted, ''I have such an amazing boyfriend. Of course, I have to brag!''
Not expecting to hear such a compliment, Wei Chen once again failed to react in time. Only after searching his face carefully and seeing that he was not indeed faking his excitement did he finally let out a smile.
It was not his usual polite or imperceptible smile but an actual big genuine smile which made everyone stunned by his beauty.
Fu Yue's heart beat wildly by this moving sight. He awkwardly shifted his gaze away.
Seriously, he would never get over how handsome this man is…
Wei Chen lightly chuckled at his partner's bashfulness. He then turned to his teammates and raised their interlocked hands, ''You heard him. Please, give us your blessing.''
''Congratulations!''
Yang Yuxuan was the first person to applaud and congratulate the couple. Li Haoran and Zhao Fu quickly followed suit, Li Haoran even jokingly saying, "Ah, I finally have a brother-in-law!"
Zhao Fu, despite his surprise at this earth-shattering news, was overjoyed for his Captain, who had finally found a partner, "I never thought that I would live to see the day that Captain finally dated someone. Congrats!''
Just as the atmosphere was bright and festive as if it was a wedding day, a thunderous voice came out of nowhere, breaking this joyful occasion.
''Who is dating whom?!''
Li Haoran, who was facing the direction of the meeting room, was the first to notice the dark face Coach He marched into the living room. He stammered, "C-Coach..."
Coach He's angry eyes swept at Wei Chen and Fu Yue alternatively, his expression grim.
"You. Two. The. Meeting. Room. Now!"
Li Haoran, Zhao Fu, and Yang Yuxuan were standing outside the meeting room, trying their best to make out the conversation between the three people. Unfortunately, due to the excellent quality of the soundproof room, they couldn't hear a single thing.
They could only watch through the glass window as their Captain and mid laner were pointed at by their dark-faced coach.
Li Haoran worriedly said, "You say… The coach would not be cruel enough to beat the mandarin ducks, right?"
Yang Yuxuan, the rational one, scoffed at his question, ''Heh. Can the Coach afford to offend either one of them?"
His words made Li Haoran's eyes light up.
That's right! Want it or not, Coach He had no choice but to accept their relationship.
One is Tian Meng's golden goose, while another is the Fu family's little prince.
Coach He is fighting a losing battle!
Li Haoran's thoughts were spot-on.
Coach He indeed had no control over these two ancestors.
However, just because he could not do anything did not mean that he could not voice his dissatisfaction.
He knew that eventually these two would end up together, but he didn't expect it would be this fast!
Coach He paced back and forth a few times before turning around to point his finger at Wei Chen. He angrily laughed, ''You are really amazing! Just the other day, I warned you not to touch him, and now you are dating him???"
Wei Chen's expression remained unchanged as he calmly stated, ''It just happened.''
"It just happened, or you made it happen???"
Wei Chen thought for a bit before honestly replying, ''A bit of both.''
Coach He, ''...'' I really misjudged you!
Coach He took several deep breaths to calm himself down before switching his target.
The moment Coach He's gaze settled on him; Fu Yue knew that his turn had arrived. He subconsciously straightened his back, ready to defend himself.
As expected, Coach He now pointed his finger at him. His tone didn't lighten; it was just as bad as when he spoke to Wei Chen.
''And you! Didn't you say that he is not your type?!''
Coach He expected Fu Yue to be embarrassed when he pointed this out, but to his surprise, the other party calmly nodded. And before anyone could misunderstand his action, he said with a serious face, ''But he is now.''
Coach He was shocked at his straight ball, and out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the corner of Wei Chen's lips curved upward before he quickly suppressed it to save Coach He's face.
Coach He, ''...''
I suddenly feel tired…
Coach He wanted to reprimand them some more but Fu Yue no longer wanted to drag this conversation and decided to land the final blow. He suddenly said, ''Coach He, please tell me honestly.'' Pointing his thumb to his Captain now turned boyfriend, he curiously asked, ''Can anyone resist this guy?''
Coach He's eyes shifted to stare at the Great Beauty Wei who was sitting gracefully on the sideline and fell silent.
It really seems that no one can…
With the support of his teammates and his Coach (?) Fu Yue felt as if a rock was lifted from his chest.
Having been a single dog for the past two decades, Fu Yue thought that the world would change after being in a relationship.
However, to his surprise, there is no drastic change.
Thanks to Fu Yue's pheromones, Wei Chen recovered quickly and finally reverted back to normal three days later.
Fu Yue thought that Wei Chen would become bolder now that they are in a relationship but to his surprise, he actually became more reserved.
He even wondered whether the fact that they were a couple was but a fever dream.
Regardless, Fu Yue didn't have time to dwell on this matter.
Staring down at the schedule, he smiled.
Saturday at 5 pm.
The match of the week, TM Vs SZ.
