Bai Haoyuan’s gaze turned sharp as he looked at An Xiran, filled with anger. “Are you deaf?” An Xiran raised an eyebrow, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

A play on words.

“Hahaha…”

Little K and the others burst into laughter.

Bai Haoyuan’s face turned grim, feeling embarrassed to be publicly mocked. Without thinking, he got hot-headed, disregarded the rules of the competition, and was about to swing his fist towards An Xiran.

Given that esports players are mostly teenagers and young adults in their twenties, minor conflicts can easily escalate into physical altercations.

In order to ensure the smooth conduct of the competition, all forms of physical conflict were strictly prohibited during matches. Violators could face serious penalties, including suspension.

While An Xiran and Bai Haoyuan had been fierce rivals for years, they had never come to blows during a match despite their verbal sparring.

Before he could react, Bai Haoyuan was already charging towards him.

Regaining his senses and about to dodge, a delicate hand intercepted Bai Haoyuan’s swinging fist.

“Yanyan!”

An Xiran exclaimed, turning angrily towards Bai Haoyuan’s face.

Caught by Nan Yan’s grip, Bai Haoyuan had nowhere to evade and took a punch to his face.

After hitting Bai Haoyuan, An Xiran nervously held onto Nan Yan’s hand. “Yanyan, are you alright? Does it hurt?”

“What are you blocking for? I’m a grown man, a punch won’t hurt me. But you, with those slender arms, what if you get hurt!”

Her sister’s livelihood depended on her hands!

I’m fine.” Nan Yan pulled down the sleeve that An Xiran had hastily rolled up in his concern.

Once Nan Yan’s safety was confirmed, An Xiran’s face darkened as he glared at the person clutching his face in pain. “Bai Haoyuan, you’re asking for trouble!” Gritting his teeth, he charged forward to hit him again.

Bai Haoyuan wasn’t one to stand around and take punches. The two of them immediately tangled into a brawl.

By this time, the other members of both teams had reacted and rushed to break up the fight…

Two team captains fighting in public was a serious matter.

Furthermore, this was the hotel lobby, and the fans who were being held back by security outside could witness everything through the glass doors.

When the event organizers arrived, both teams had already been taken into separate rooms.

“We must explain this situation to the fans and viewers. Both team captains need to face corresponding consequences for their breach of conduct.”

“Considering the contributions both of you have made to the esports industry, the organizers won’t disqualify your teams from participating. However, both captains will be suspended for three matches. Are both of you willing to accept this punishment?”

Suppressing their tempers, An Xiran and Bai Haoyuan nodded in agreement.

“Additionally, we have arranged a livestream for today. Both of you will apologize to the fans, and show that you have resolved your differences. We hope both captains will cooperate.”

An Xiran:

Bai Haoyuan:

The two exchanged a glance, then coldly averted their gazes.

Despite that, they had to follow the organizers’ arrangement.

The livestream would take place in an hour. Both captains were sent back to prepare.

An Xiran went to find Nan Yan first.

Nan Yan was looking at the messages from the students in Class 4.

They knew she was participating in the competition today and were asking if she had reached the venue, hoping to see live photos.

If it were before, Nan Yan wouldn’t have bothered to respond to them, not even bothering to check the messages.

However, recently they had been addressing her as ‘big sis’ and she noticed their change in attitude. Consequently, her attitude towards them had also softened a bit.

[I haven’t arrived at the venue yet, still at the hotel. I’ll take some pictures for you when I get there for the competition.]

[Big sis is awesome!]

[You’re the best, big sis!]

Rows of flattering comments followed.

Hearing a knock on the door, Nan Yan put down her phone and went to open it.

An Xiran rushed in, her voice anxious, “Yanyan, is your hand really alright?” “Should we go for a checkup? Bai Haoyuan, that guy, is surprisingly strong.” “He’s strong??” Nan Yan looked at An Xiran as if she was joking.” Him?”

An Xiran:

Isn’t that the case?

A grown man should naturally have more strength than a young girl, right?

“How much strength can a good-for-nothing who has been hollowed out by wine and sex have? He doesn’t have the ability to hurt me.”

Nan Yan was stating the objective truth.

However, An Xiran felt like he was being looked down upon by his own sister.

Due to his prolonged obsession with esports, An Xiran neglected regular exercise, resulting in a significant decline in his physical fitness.

In the past, he wouldn’t have felt tired after running ten kilometers at once, but now he would likely be out of breath after just one kilometer.

Thinking about this, An Xiran secretly decided that he would set aside an hour every day to exercise. Otherwise, if he encountered such situations again and had to rely on Nan Yan to protect him, he would feel ashamed of his position as the older brother.

During their conversation, the siblings reached the sofa area.

Nan Yan sat down in her original spot, holding her phone and checking the group chat. She casually asked, “What did the organizers say?”

An Xiran shrugged slightly. “I and that scoundrel are suspended for three matches. Then, we have to do a live broadcast later to apologize to the fans and put on a show of reconciliation.”

Fortunately, with Nan Yan in the current AEG lineup, An Xiran wasn’t too worried. Otherwise, with his suspension and Chen Lang’s illness, there was a real possibility that the team wouldn’t make it to the finals.

Nan Yan compassionately patted his shoulder. “Next time, don’t act impulsively. It wouldn’t hurt to deal with him after the match.”

“Oh…”

An Xiran inexplicably felt as if their roles had been reversed with Nan Yan.

Pushing aside the jumble of thoughts in his mind, An Xiran stood up. “I’m going to change into something more stylish, to crush him in terms of appearance.” “Sure, I’ll come with you in a bit.”

“Alright.”

An hour later, Nan Yan and An Xiran arrived at the livestream studio.

Bai Haoyuan had just arrived as well.

His face had been iced after An Xiran’s punch, and the swelling had subsided to some extent. However, there was still a noticeable bruise.

To look good on camera, the makeup artist had covered it up with thick foundation before they left, making his appearance slightly exaggerated.

Seeing An Xiran’s face, which could pass in the entertainment industry, Bai Haoyuan’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

If An Xiran dared to hit his face, he would ruin his face!

“Both team captains have arrived, please come inside.”

Seeing them, the stage supervisor hurriedly gestured for them to enter. Their gaze shifted, noticing the girl accompanying An Xiran.

With a black mask covering Nan Yan’s face, only her strikingly beautiful eyes and eyebrows were visible, capturing one’s attention.

“This young lady is…”

An Xiran casually blocked Nan Yan and said indifferently, “My sister, Nan Yan, also a member of AEG for this competition.”

“Miss An, can you make an appearance on camera later?”

One of the highlights of esports competitions was the combination of enthusiasm and skill, as well as the presence of handsome young men and beautiful young ladies.

With the girl before them already so captivating even with a mask on, what kind of effect would it have when she took off the mask?

“My surname is not An.” Nan Yan’s voice was calm. “Also, if you want me to appear in the livestream, sure, pay me.” The stage supervisor:
