I Can Do It

Chapter 59

The next day, Ding-ge arrived at the base just as Lu Boyuan returned from his run.

“You went running? Does your body even feel better yet? In the middle of the day like this…” Ding-ge blocked Lu Boyuan from going upstairs. “Also, how many times have I told you this already? You have to wear a hat even if you’re just going out to throw away the trash, do you know that there are often fans camping outside of the neighborhood…”

“I didn’t leave the neighborhood.” Lu Boyuan stopped helplessly and picked up a towel to casually wipe his face with. “I’ve also said this before, it’s not that bad.”

“Stop thinking of yourself as an ordinary person all the time, wake up a bit, your advertisement fee is higher than that of who knows how many celebrities!” After Ding-ge said that, he glanced at Lu Boyuan’s hand. “Does it still hurt? Let me go get a thermometer…”

Lu Boyuan walked towards the break room. “I already measured it, the fever went down. My hand is fine too.”

Ding-ge followed him. “The doctor said that you’re still practicing for too long. How about this, the next spring season match is against Throne, and they’re pretty average this season. We could let Moon go up and get some practice in, and you rest.”

Lu Boyuan frowned. “I can play.”

“I know that you can play, who in the entire LPL doesn’t know that?” Ding-ge interrupted him. “But it’s not necessary, it’s just a regular season match, after all. And also, I feel like they’ll be able to win even without you. Even if they do lose, it won’t be a big deal. Don’t tell me that you’re worried about us not entering the playoffs? Recently, you haven’t stopped practicing once, your hand needs to rest.”

Lu Boyuan quietly took a sip of water.

“Listen to ge this time… I heard that PUD also urgently called the doctor over to their base last night. XIU’s hand problem seems to be a bit worse off than yours.”

Lu Boyuan swept a look over him. “You have a spy at PUD’s base?”

“Who can hide something like this? Do you think the other teams don’t know about your hand injury?” Ding-ge sighed. “XIU’s probably going to end up retiring this year, PUD has already begun secretly looking for a new jungler.”

Lu Boyuan paused slightly, and he put down his bottle. “You even know that?”

Ding-ge hummed. “I won’t keep you in the dark either. PWT’s rookie jungler’s contract is set to expire soon, and he’s contacted me privately before. He also revealed to me that PUD was in touch with him, probably because he wanted to raise his own net worth a bit.”

Lu Boyuan nodded. “How did the negotiations go?”

“There were none.” Ding-ge said, “Our team isn’t lacking a jungler.”

The corners of Lu Boyuan’s mouth tugged upwards, but at the same time, he couldn’t bring himself to laugh.

XIU had indeed discussed retirement with Lu Boyuan before, but XIU had said that he was planning to hang in there and play for another two years. He wanted to do his best to help his old master PUD, which had served him for many years, get a championship trophy; then, he could retire freely and easily.
