Chapter 2 — After Divorce, the Esports World Belongs to Me

The photo shows her smiling sweetly, holding a brand new figure in her arms, without a single scratch, the exact model I'm holding. Accompanying text: "Thank you brother~ I knew right away that you love me the most! The old don't go, the new don't come~ [heart][heart]" Posting location: high-end e-sports cafe near my house and Co Dien's. One corner of the photo also captured a man's hand. The watch on my wrist is the wedding anniversary gift I gave to Co Dien last year. “The old does not go, the new does not come?” It turns out... what I received was the item she chose and left behind. As for Co Dien, she left the celebration party midway... not because of any work, but to be on time to deliver an "important" gift to her good sister. A feeling of fatigue and cold crept into my heart. I took the swapped figure and without hesitation walked straight to the trash can. 5 The next day is the weekend - family day, which was agreed upon by the two of us in advance. Co Dien did not return all night. It wasn't until early in the morning that I sent a text message: "Yesterday, I practiced more with the players until late, so I slept at the club. Today is family day, remember, I'll come pick you up at noon." At noon, he indeed arrived on time. The face looks tired from staying up all night, but the mood is... very good. “Let's go, dear wife, where do you want to go today?” He tried to wrap his arms around my waist, but I avoided him. “Go anywhere.” He felt slightly embarrassed, but didn't say anything more. The car kept rolling — and then stopped in front of a shopping center specializing in e-sports goods. I frowned: "What are you doing here?" "Ah, Uyen Uyen said she wanted to buy a new keyboard, so asked me to help you choose. By the way, let's go for a walk too." He said it as if it were obvious. The shopping center is quite crowded. Out of habit, Co Dien tried to hold my hand, but the next second he was interrupted by a shrill voice. "Mr. Dien! Sister-in-law! Here!" To Uyen Uyen excitedly waved her hand. Next to her was a young member of the team. When he saw us coming, he confusedly greeted: "Hello Mr. Dien, hello sister-in-law... what a coincidence." Co Dien smiled and replied: "Yes, I took Uyen Uyen to buy a keyboard." To Uyen Uyen unceremoniously inserted herself between me and Co Dien, intimately taking his other arm: "You are the one who understands accessories best! Quickly help me choose~" The other team member glanced at me, his eyes awkward. I quietly followed behind the three of them: To Uyen Uyen chirped non-stop, Co Dien bowed her head in response, the team member could only smile wryly. It's like a family of three going out together. As for me... like an outsider with no role. When passing by the children's game area, To Uyen Uyen exclaimed: "Ah! It's a newly released limited edition teddy bear! Mr. Dien, Mr. Dien, I want that one!" Co Dien laughed helplessly but fondly: "I'm older and still play this." "Never mind! I promised to go with you today!" She acted coyly, shaking his hand. The team member immediately said: "I'll go exchange coins now!" Very quickly, the machine had coins. Co Dien is quite good, tried a few times and was able to pick up the bear. To Uyen Uyen was so happy that she jumped up, hugged the stuffed bear, and kissed him on the cheek: "Mr. Dien is the best! I like you the most!" Co Dien paused slightly, unconsciously glanced at me. It was as if To Uyen Uyen had just "suddenly remembered" my presence, stuck out her tongue and brought the bear in front of me: "Sister-in-law, don't Get angry, because I'm so happy! Can I give this to you?” The stuffed bear… still reeked of her perfume. I looked at the lipstick on Co Dien's face and suddenly... burst out laughing. “No need.” I said, my voice very calm. “I have no interest in what other people have touched.” The atmosphere immediately became stuffy. Co Dien's face darkened: "Lin Vi, what do you mean?" I looked straight into his eyes: “Literally.” “Co Dien, our family day… is to go with your sister to pick up stuffed animals? And you leisurely accepted the 'reward of a kiss' from her?" Co Dien reflexively immediately objected: "What nonsense are you talking about! Uyen Uyen is just a child…” “A child… over twenty years old?” I interrupted, coldly. “Co Dien, are you blind, or do you think I'm blind?” To Uyen Uyen's eyes immediately turned red: "Sister-in-law, you really misunderstood... You and Mr. Dien... really have nothing..." The young player stood to the side, confused and not knowing what to do. There were a few people around who started to look back. Co Dien took a deep breath and tried to hold back: "Lam Vi, if there's anything wrong, go home and talk about it!" Don't cause trouble in public!” "Rebel?" I almost laughed out loud. “If you're afraid of losing face, you should know how to keep your distance from your 'little sister'. Don't ask me to be generous, tolerant or understanding." Having finished speaking, I turned around and left. “Lin Vi!” Co Dien's harsh voice rang out behind him. I don't turn around. I could only hear To Uyen Uyen's sobbing voice chasing after her: "Brother Dien, I'm sorry... I made my sister-in-law misunderstand again... You should quickly chase after her..." "What are you chasing after! Let her calm down!” It was Co Dien's voice, frustrated and annoyed. Accompanied by Uyen Uyen's consoling mumbles and the team member's awkward silence. Once again… he chose his sister. 6 When I got home, I blocked all of Co Dien's means of communication. The world has been quiet for less than half a day. I was suddenly pulled into a WeChat chat group by a strange number. The group's name... caught my eye: 【The Unicorn battle team family is as close as a family】 I frowned, intending to escape the group. But a voice message suddenly popped up. To Uyen Uyen's voice rang out, sleepy and coy, and there was a game effect sound behind her: "Mr. Dien~ yesterday morning you promised to help me climb the rank~ I've been waiting for you all day~ Or are you just worried about being with your sister-in-law, forgetting little Uyen Uyen~?" The voice message was two minutes long. After sending, the group immediately fell into dead silence. A few seconds later — the voice message was revoked. To Uyen Uyen frantically sent several lines of text: "Ah ah sorry sorry! Just woke up and my hand slipped! Sent to the wrong group!” “Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand! Dien and I only play duo games!” "Mr. Dien saw that my rank was not increasing, so he was kind enough to pull me a little!" "Don't worry, I'll pay attention in the future and won't bother him anymore..." The smell of green tea seemed to spread beyond the screen. The whole group remained silent, no one responded. Very quickly, Co Dien also spoke up. Her voice was hoarse as if she had just woken up: "Uyen Uyen, don't talk nonsense." “@Lam Vi, she's a child and doesn't understand, accidentally sent the wrong message, don't worry about it.” Right after that, another line was added: "If you promise to bring me up to rank, you will do it, don't make a fuss." The entire group chat fell into a strange silence. I can almost imagine the excited looks on the remaining players' faces right now. I gently moved my finger and typed out the words: "Sorry, I accidentally stepped into your intimate drama." As soon as the message appeared, the extra bedroom door was suddenly yanked open. Co Dien… is at home? So he sneaked back last night? He rushed out, his face full of surprise and panic: "Who pulled you into that group?!" I put down the phone and said calmly: "I have to ask his good sister." Co Dien's face changed continuously. After a while, she said in a low voice: "Uyen Uyen didn't mean it. She just wanted me to feel included in the team. She didn't have any malicious intentions." "Really?" I turned on the phone screen, opened the group chat information, and showed it in front of him: "'Family of the Unicorn team' - but there is no room for me, who is both an investor and the captain's wife? Do you have to use this method to invite me to the group?"
