take away the light

Back then, the e-sports industry was just emerging, and there was no age limit for joining a team. Qiao Yuyang and Ran Peng received invitations from many teams for their achievements, but none of them caught their eye. They went to an unknown club that had just entered the e-sports circle and had no resources. ——YE.

YE has just started, but under the leadership of Qiao Yuyang and Ran Peng, it quickly made its mark in the circle and shined in various competitions, allowing the club to gain a firm foothold in the circle and lay their own sky.

But the good times didn't last long, the club owner's company suffered malicious competition and declared bankruptcy overnight, and the club couldn't maintain it and had to be disbanded.

It was also at that time that KIK approached the two of them and handed them good olive branches.

At that time, KIK was already a well-known team in the circle. The owner had strong funds, the team was huge, and the benefits for the players were quite good. Moreover, the club's operation had a systematic model, and the conditions offered were quite attractive.

They are not short of money, otherwise they would not join YE, but what KIK can give is not only money, but also a more professionally trained, better team, and resources that cannot be obtained in other teams.

Ran Peng hardly thought about it, and immediately decided to join after chatting with the team manager. Qiao Yuyang was also shaken, but he was not as impulsive as Ran Peng, saying that he had to think again.

"What else are you thinking about?" Ran Peng didn't understand, "Boss Yao told us to find another home quickly, and you still want to stay with YE for the last journey?"

Qiao Yuyang smiled, "Fuck off, that's not what I meant."

Ran Peng shrugged, "What is there to consider? KIK is currently the best team in China. I heard that their boss is also a powerful figure in the business world. And the team manager just said that as long as we go, they will I will accept Qin Bei and the others."

They came out of the coffee shop, midsummer night, the not-so-cool evening wind felt sticky and damp on the body, and the lights in the streets and alleys were colorful only for summer nights.

Qiao Yuyang has just split up not long ago, and already has the rudimentary form of an alpha that is serious and majestic. When he does not speak, there is a kind of indifference and alienation. His eyes are dim and unclear, just like a high wall has been erected, making it impossible for people to guess and understand his thoughts. .

"Just now the team manager of KIK said when will the contract be signed?" Qiao Yuyang asked.

"He said that as long as we want, we can do it anytime." Ran Peng smiled, "Have you considered it?"

"Basically," Qiao Yuyang said, "There is no better place for us than KIK."

Ran Peng smiled, put his arms around Qiao Yuyang's shoulders, a little excited, "Alright then, let's call Qin Bei and the others out for dinner! By the way, tell them the good news!"

"Go and eat, I have to go back to the team." Qiao Yuyang said, "Since it's decided, I'll put away the things and tell Mr. Yao about it."

Ran Peng was speechless, "When did you say no? Just a few hours away?"

Qiao Yuyang glanced at him, "Don't you want to go to KIK? Don't you pack up your things earlier and wait until the contract is signed before moving things?"

Ran Peng patted his forehead, "Yes, yes, just look at my brain hahahaha, then I will go with you. Let's pack up our things early, sign the contract then, and go directly to KIK."

Qiao Yuyang sneered and said, "Stop eating?"

"It's not too late to eat when we go to KIK together." Ran Peng smiled.

The two returned to the team together. The base of the YE club is in the suburban villa area, a small villa, a real estate under the name of the owner Yao Qingyun.

Yao Qingyun's company went bankrupt and had to bear a lot of debts. This villa will be sold soon. The electronic equipment used by everyone for training has been emptied. The usually crowded training room is now empty, and it looks very deserted in the dark night .

Seeing this scene, Ran Peng felt a little uncomfortable, and patted Qiao Yuyang on the shoulder, "Why don't you turn on the light?"

"The property has shut off the electricity." Qiao Yuyang pursed his lips slightly and walked upstairs.

The street lamp outside the window faintly shone into the room, and the slender figures of the two teenagers fell on the white-toned marble tiles. The room was silent, and their footsteps could not help but relax, leaving the last bit of tranquility in the lively and lively space. glorious past.

As soon as he went up to the second floor, a faint groan came from the room at the end of the corridor.

"Heh, aren't you fucking noble? What is an omega pretending to be? Is Lao Tzu your first man?"

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't want to. In that case, don't blame me for not being a gentleman. Yao Qingyun, we have known each other for so many years, and this is the first time I see your expression. I really regret it Start with you sooner."

The insults in a low voice were especially harsh in this quiet night.

The expressions of the two of them changed, and they quickly ran inside. The door was not closed, leaving a gap. Qiao Yuyang pushed the door open. With the light from outside, the scene inside made his pupils shrink, and he froze in place in astonishment.

The room was filled with strong alpha pheromones. Their boss, Yao Qingyun, was lying on the bed with tears on his face, and his expression was already hopeless and gloomy.

The man who was interrupted clicked his tongue impatiently, and stroked his sweat-drenched hair. In such a dark environment, his body seemed to be covered with oil, and his face was as deep as a chisel, hidden in the darkness. Among them, the whole person exudes a strong sexy.

The pheromone aggressively invaded the skin of everyone present, shocking Qiao Yuyang and Ran Peng, the newly differentiated alphas, who were pinned in place by a strong sense of oppression.

Even though the light was weak, Qiao Yuyang could still see the man's face clearly. He had seen it more or less on the financial news. This is an excellent jackal in the business world in recent years. Stand firm among the old foxes, establish their own prestige, and make a name for themselves.

Yao Qingyun is also in business, and the club is just his side business. Could it be...

Seeing the youthful appearance of the two young men, the man sneered, and put on his clothes slowly, without any embarrassment of breaching privacy, but instead asked, "Are you Qiao Yuyang and Ran Peng?"

Qiao Yuyang came back to his senses, walked quickly to the bed, wrapped Yao Qingyun with a quilt, and protected him behind him, the pheromone of the youth resisted the oppression of the man.

Seeing this scene, a gloomy ruthlessness flashed in the man's eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "Defend him like this? Boy, your hair hasn't grown yet, do you know how to protect Omega?"

"Even if you don't know, you don't need to teach me." Qiao Yuyang said coldly, without giving in. "This is the YE club, you can get out."

"Get out?" The man smiled, lit a cigarette, and the sporadic firelight became the only bright color in the darkness, "I am the owner of the house here, you tell me to get out?"

Qiao Yuyang and Ran Peng glanced at each other quickly, and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

The man sneered, "Since you are about to be KIK players, I would like to give you a piece of advice, don't meddle in other people's business, this is between me and him."

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Yuyang immediately understood that the man's pheromones were too strong, which made his glands ache and his body was covered with cold sweat.

"Do you think I'll go to KIK again?" Qiao Yuyang gritted his teeth and asked, "A scum like you is the boss?"

The man sneered: "Where else can you go besides KIK? Yes, maybe you are really strong, but I move my fingers, do you think there will be teams willing to accept you?"

"Master Qiao, it is well known that you broke up with your father back then, and you must have only been out for a year because of him..." The man glanced at Yao Qingyun, squinted his eyes, "Go back to beg Dad in desperation?"

Qiao Yuyang's clothes were soaked through, and the pheromones were also getting weaker under the constant pressure from the man. The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and his fisted fingers were pinched into his flesh. "You don't need to worry about it, I can't go again. KIK."

The man threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out, looked at Ran Peng who had been silent all this time, "What about you?"

Ran Peng looked at him, then at Qiao Yuyang, swallowed, but didn't answer.

Qiao Yuyang's eyes dimmed, and as the fireworks went out, the only light in his eyes also disappeared.

"Your good brother seems to be more aware of current affairs than you." The man mocked.

At this time, Yao Qingyun on the bed whimpered in pain, trembling, his face was pale and bloodless, and his body was frighteningly cold.

Qiao Yuyang was shocked, and the person in his arms didn't know what to do.

"Send him to the hospital." The man took his coat and walked out of the room, "See if he's alive."

Qiao Yuyang's heart was beating violently, and his hands and feet were cold. It was the first time he encountered such a situation, and Yao Qingyun was in such a bad situation, like a fragile porcelain doll that would shatter when touched, making him unable to do anything.

Qiao Yuyang lifted the quilt, dripping with cold sweat, endured the trembling of his fingertips, and helped Yao Qingyun put on the clothes without looking away, then raised one arm, and said sharply: "Ran Peng! Help me!"

Ran Peng came back to his senses, hurried over and carried him downstairs together, and sent him to the hospital.

Yao Qingyun's condition was very serious. Excessive doses of erotic drugs entered the glands and damaged the nerves. The pheromones and hormones were confused, causing permanent damage to the body.

Qiao Yuyang kept watch in the hospital until Yao Qingyun woke up the next afternoon.

"Boss Yao," Qiao Yuyang quickly stood up when he saw someone woke up, "How do you feel? Do you need to call a doctor?"

Yao Qingyun shook his head, took a long time to get out of the dizziness, and asked hoarsely, "Why did you go last night?"

"Pack up your things." Qiao Yuyang poured him a glass of water and shook the bed, "KIK came to us."

Yao Qingyun didn't have the strength to hold the water glass, so he could only let Qiao Yuyang feed himself. He was stunned for a moment when he heard KIK, and then said: "It's good, after joining KIK..."

"Boss Yao," Qiao Yuyang interrupted him, staring at him closely with his dark eyes, "Why have you never mentioned that you are an omega?"

Yao Qingyun forced out a smile, his pale face became more haggard, "There's no need to say it."

Before differentiation, pheromones cannot be sensed, so Yao Qingyun didn't even use barrier stickers when he saw them.

In the general impression, omgea is soft and delicate, and needs protection, while Yao Qingyun is elegant and gentle, with a slender and tall figure and an aura that is occasionally not angry and arrogant, and will subconsciously default to beta or alpha.

"Although gender equality is advocated now, there is still too much hostility towards Omega from the outside world." Yao Qingyun was weak, and his voice was soft and soft, "Yuyang, do you know why I want to run a club?"

"Being a professional is your unfulfilled dream." Qiao Yuyang replied.

"At that time, foreign countries developed the e-sports industry, but domestic people felt that it was not doing their job properly." Yao Qingyun coughed twice, and the constant pain in his glands made him very haggard. "My family originally wanted me to be a teacher. Be able to support yourself stably, and find an excellent alpha to marry in the future... This kind of life can be seen to the end at a glance."

Qiao Yuyang listened silently and brought him painkillers.

"I don't want to live that kind of life. Why does omega have to rely on others to survive? Why does the outside world's impression of oemga always stay as weak? I had a big fight with my family, and with a small amount of capital, I asked people to start doing it. Business. Fortunately, God is kind to me, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, which allows me to develop a side business." Yao Qingyun smiled guiltily, "But I'm sorry, once I make a mistake, it will hurt you all."

Qiao Yuyang looked gloomy, "Don't say that."

Yao Qingyun laughed at himself: "But the reality is such a slap in the face. Facts have proved that oemga is indeed weak. Facing alpha...it can't even resist."

"..."

The room was filled with the smell of disinfectant, Qiao Yuyang seemed to have returned to two years ago in a trance, the same scene, the same hospital bed, he held his mother's hand and watched her close her eyes forever.

Omega's tragedies are repeated all the time.

We are born as human beings, but are divided into grades and grades by gender. Some people are born noble and can enjoy the best resources in the world with the favor of luck; finish this life.

……

【"Yuyang, you don't want to be like a father in the future, do you know? You must respect your partner's wishes, forcibly marking them will only cause misfortune for both of you..."]

【"Son, mom is so tired...don't be sad, I'm finally free, you should be happy for me."】

【"Yuyang...don't hate me, let me be selfish for a while, I don't want to be imprisoned by the identity and mark of omega. I want...to be myself..."】

……

Qiao Yuyang gritted his teeth, a great sense of sadness engulfed him, his temples throbbed, Yao Qingyun's tragic situation last night and his mother's melancholy and beautiful face were constantly intertwined in front of his eyes.

"Uh……"

Yao Qingyun's cry of pain pulled Qiao Yuyang back, and he realized that he was emitting pheromones.

"Sorry." Qiao Yuyang quickly restrained himself, got up and went to open the window.

Yao Qingyun touched the thick gauze on the back of her neck, "What did the doctor say?"

"The gland is permanently damaged," Qiao Yuyang lowered his eyes, trying to put it mildly, "You may...be unable to perceive pheromone normally anymore."

Yao Qingyun seemed relieved, "It's good, I don't want to be threatened by alpha pheromone anymore."

Qiao Yuyang stood by the window, the setting sun would illuminate his sad side face, and the burning cloud was as red as blood.

"Then... what are you going to do in the future?"

"I don't know." Yao Qingyun seemed tired, closed his eyes and muttered, "I don't want to admit my fate, but...it seems I have to admit it."

Qiao Yuyang looked at the sky in the distance, the orange sunset was like a dream, enough to chase away all the dark sunlight, but it couldn't penetrate his black and cold eyes.

After a while, steady and weak breathing came from the bed, Qiao Yuyang quietly left the ward, and connected the fifth call on the mobile phone.

"Yu Yang, you finally answered the phone." Ran Peng said, "How is Mr. Yao? Are you awake?"

"Wake up." Qiao Yuyang hunched his back slightly, leaning against the wall, "It's just that he was not in a good state, and fell asleep after saying a few words."

Ran Peng breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I'll come to the hospital to see him later. By the way, I'll put away your things for you, let's..."

"Ran Peng, after what happened last night, did you still decide to join KIK?" Qiao Yuyang's tone was flat, without questioning or blaming, just wanting to understand the brother's thoughts.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, "I know what happened last night... KIK did go too far, but Yuyang, don't there be such things? Your father and I work hard in the mall, and we are also counted. We have heard it from a young age, and we can't control or get involved in the affairs between them as adults. And KIK is the best place for us, let's be realistic, I believe that man last night won't mind if we broke this matter."

Qiao Yuyang was also silent for a long time, so long that Ran Peng thought he hung up the phone, "Hello? Are you still there?"

"I really can't control it," Qiao Yuyang said, "but I can't pretend I didn't see it."

"What do you mean?" Ran Peng couldn't believe it, "You're going to give up KIK for someone you've known for less than a year? Are you crazy? You forgot what the man said? He won't let other teams accept you."

"It's not a matter of how long we've known each other." Qiao Yuyang raised his head, stared at the light bulb on the ceiling like a torch, and said shyly, "You can get used to this kind of thing, but I can't."

"..." Ran Peng fell silent.

The whistling sound of electricity on the phone hit the nerves of the two of them, and the noisy environment in the corridor became the background board.

Qiao Yuyang continued: "It is impossible for me to join KIK without any scruples after witnessing this incident. I play games because I like them, to stand on top of the world in the future, not for the gimmick of the so-called 'first-line team'. I don't Will force you to empathize with me, and I will respect your decision."

After a while, Ran Peng said hoarsely, "...but with KIK, you will be one step closer to your dream. This is a shortcut."

"The shortcut is my strength, not the club."

That afternoon was the last time that Qiao Yuyang and Ran Peng had a calm and non-aggressive conversation in the next four years.

Pressing the red hang up button ended more than just a call. The two had different views on this matter, and each of them had something to hold on to.

No personal experience, no empathy.

Ran Peng chose the best path for his future, Qiao Yuyang doesn't blame him.

It's just that this parting of ways was caught off guard, and without even a decent farewell, they suddenly changed from fighting side by side teammates to life-and-death opponents.

The YE club completely disappeared from the public eye. Half a year later, a club called DAR was airborne into the e-sports circle with great momentum. A certain business boss surnamed Joe used his wealthy capital to wipe out all the teams that tried to suppress DAR. .

The legal person of the club is still Yao Qingyun, and the captain is Qiao Yuyang, the former captain of the YE team.

In a short period of time, this brand new team crushed other teams with its unique strength. Game after game was their stepping stone, and they went all the way to number one in the country unimpeded, standing on the top of the mountain.

The author says:

"Without personal experience, I don't seek empathy." There is nothing wrong with Ran Peng. He didn't know about Qiao's mother, so he rationally chose a better way for himself, which is understandable.

Because of his mother, Qiao Yuyang felt pity for an independent omega like Yao Qingyun. His mother was imprisoned by the alpha mark for a lifetime. Rather than saying that he went back to beg his father for Yao Qingyun, it would be better to say that he bowed his head for the sake of the omega group.

He has always felt that as long as there is a chance, they can do well and not lose to anyone.

So it's not without reason that Qiao Yuyang likes Ning Heng. Such a shining, strong and proud omega is exactly what he expects from the other half in his heart!
