My Socially Anxious Teammate Is Actually an Esports Legend

After retiring, He Xihang, the new king of the Tour de France, returned to China hoping only to lie flat.

But the university cycling team was so short-handed that they dragged this "socially anxious" guy in to make up the numbers.

And the team's captain

turned out to be Wolf, the genius cyclist who had vanished without a trace three years ago.

The whole team thought he was a lazy rookie.

Until the day Captain Song Tielang pushed himself to exhaustion in a solo challenge and was about to lose...

He Xihang sauntered into the arena, crushed his opponent without a second thought, and caught the captain just before he fell.

Song Tielang froze in his arms. "You..."

He Xihang looked down and drawled, "Uh... well... you're not allowed to sleep here."

Later, Song Tielang pinned him against a wall, eyes red. "What exactly do you want? Think you can do whatever you like because you're talented?! People more talented than you work harder!"

He Xihang brushed his hand away and said coolly:

"Know what kind of person I hate most?"

"...You."

He Xihang: You're Wolf. Why are you coaching a bunch of rookies?

Song Tielang: ...

He Xihang: Keep pretending. Go on.

Song Tielang: I was injured

He Xihang: (squeezes his leg) You're fine.

Song Tielang: ???

Song Tielang: You! Race me one-on-one!

He Xihang: What if I win?

Song Tielang: You won't.

He Xihang: But what if I do?

Song Tielang: You can do whatever you want with me.

He Xihang: Including you?

Song Tielang: ??? Yes!!
