Chapter 102
Ten o’clock in the evening in Madrid, five o’clock in the morning in Shanghai, six o’clock in the morning in Seoul, one o’clock in the afternoon in Los Angeles… The commentators of different nationalities announced the same thing to audiences around the world in different languages:
—Shanghai R.H is the global champion!
R.H gave the fans the steadiest happiness. With a completely crushing attitude, he won the annual championship of the International Invitational Tournament without any suspense.
At this point, the era of the Great Eastern Demon King has officially arrived.
The [4:0] on the big screen also disappeared, and the pink team theme color squeezed out the other half of the silver gray, covering the main screen and the secondary screens on both sides.
All the lights converged on Yu Zhaohan. He was wearing earphones with a blank face, and he couldn’t hear the audience shouting his ID hoarsely, but could only see faces with tears in their eyes and shouting with all their might.
There was a loud bang, and golden rain began to fall in the stadium. Countless colored ribbons descended from the sky, sprinkled one after another, dazzling in brilliance, like fine sand flying in the desert of ancient Egypt.
The familiar golden color was reflected in Yu Zhaohan’s eyes, and suddenly he felt dull and dazed.
It’s over, he’s not a black swan, not a sniper lurking in an Egyptian temple. He’s Shine, he’s at the game, he just won the finals with his teammates.
The belated excitement quickly spread to every cell in Yu Zhaohan’s body. Beside him, Cheese and Qi Xian hugged each other tightly. He thought that Cheese would be so excited that he would cry, but he didn’t expect to see tears streaming from the corners of Qi Xian’s eyes.
Even when he was crying, Qi Xian’s eyebrows were still bent.
Qi Xian is the oldest active R.H player, and he is also a member of the trio with a height of 185 and above—even Qi Xian cried.
Yu Zhaohan also wanted to cry, but he was different from Qi Xian, he was the captain of R.H.
But Bi’an is also the captain, and Bi’an also cried when he lost the game. It shouldn’t be too out of character for him to cry when he wins the finals.
This is the finals, or a 4:0 victory.
When Yu Zhaohan was still hesitating whether to hold back his tears, someone suddenly helped him take off the earphones.
The man’s hand brushed his cheek intentionally or unknowingly, his fingertips were hot, with a familiar aura that moved his heart.
— is his favorite person.
Looking into the boy’s eyes, Yu Zhaohan’s excitement magnified infinitely, and he could finally make a sound: “Shi Du, we won, we are the champions!”
Shi Du laughed, youthful, flamboyant and frivolous.
Lao Tan led the rest of the team to run up to the stage. He thought it over, he wanted to take this opportunity to give Shine a good hug, and get out of the pitiful camp of R.H who had never hugged the captain.
Then he saw Tiless holding Shine’s cheek and lowered his head towards Shine.
Lao Tan caught sight of the camera that was almost staring at Shine and Tiless’s faces, and Le Ji was so sad that he almost had a heart attack. He desperately stretched out his hands, trying to stop this “tragedy”: “—No!”
Old Tan’s wailing was drowned in the overwhelming screams. Shi Du’s movements didn’t pause at all, smoother than his operations in the game. He closed his eyes, and quickly pressed a kiss on the corner of Yu Zhaohan’s eyes.
Lao Tan withdrew his outstretched hand abruptly, and firmly covered his heart.
It’s okay, it’s okay, just a kiss on the face, there is still hope.
Old Tan was extremely sad and happy, tortured to death by his own double c, and had to help the culprit to deal with the aftermath: “Xiao Jiang, kiss me, hurry up!”
Jiang Di: “?”
Old Tan hooked Jiang Di’s shoulders, and said straight on the macho man’s face: “We must prove to the fans that R.H’s straight men are like this!”
Jiang Di: “.”
Jiang Di froze for a moment, experienced a strong ideological struggle in his heart, and finally kissed him straight back.
Cheese yelled until his voice became hoarse: “Ahhh, I want it too! Let’s kiss each other! Stone together?”
Stone couldn’t respond to Cheese’s invitation. Lu Youshan seemed to be about to faint from crying, and he had to rely on his support to stand firm on the stage.
During the carnival, few people noticed that three-quarters of the seat at the end of n was empty.
As soon as the game was over, the three players from n couldn’t wait to get out of the field, ua didn’t even need peripherals, and only Chao was left in the four positions.
Tidal looked up at the golden rain falling for R.H, was briefly absent-minded for two seconds, and then stretched out his hand involuntarily.
A golden ribbon fell on his palm.
The staff came over to remind him that his teammates were gone. Chao Tide slowly gathered his palms together, finally cast a final glance in Yu Zhaohan’s direction, got up and left the stage.
Only the winner is worthy of the stage of the finals.
All R.H members calmed down a little, and turned their eyes to the middle of the arena in unison—a golden, bullet-shaped trophy stood there, witnessing their entire process of winning the championship.
Yu Zhaohan, who didn’t cry because he was suddenly kissed by his boyfriend, decided to take his teammates and pretend to be coercive again.
Coaches and players, starters and substitutes, in front of the stage and behind the scenes, they stepped forward together and lifted the bullet together.
The photographer pressed the shutter in time to freeze the picture in this scene.
Old Tan with a look of fear and a professional smirk, Lu Youshan who was in a semi-conscious state, boulder who was holding up his coach with difficulty and smiling all over his face, Jiang who was agitating his muscles to express his feelings, cheese with a row of teeth on the corner of his mouth, long hair and squinting eyes the clohe.
Li Yuexi saw this scene in the audience, her eyes were flushed and her voice was hoarse: “Looking at them, I feel my e-sports soul is burning! Brother, I want to drop out of school and play professionally!”
Nan Xu had long been accustomed to the style of elementary school students who think about it as soon as they come out, and said lightly: “I advise you to think twice. If you drop out now, your final homework will not be for nothing.”
Li Yuexi immediately calmed down more than half: “Forget it, playing professionally is exempted, but I want to devote my whole life to the e-sports industry!”
With that said, the little boss cheered and rushed onto the stage, hugging them heartily.
Li Yuexi booked the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel as the venue for the celebration banquet. This hotel is located in Madrid’s famous artistic Golden Triangle area. It has a long history and has received many European royal families.
The presidential suite for one night is expensive, but in front of the one thousand and one dollars that R.H just won, it is the price of buying a bag of spicy strips.
The mood that has been tense for the entire playoffs can finally be completely released without any worries. Smoking ban, alcohol ban, what kind of ban, all lifted!
However, most members of R.H do not smoke or have sex. Eating and drinking is their best way to celebrate.
The snacks at the Michelin restaurant don’t cost money, and the five-figure red wine costs several bottles, but the cheap and unhealthy fried chicken chips and beer are more popular among boys.
Yu Zhaohan didn’t pretend much anymore, he would eat whatever Shi Du brought him, and he wouldn’t refuse when Qi Xian and the others asked him to drink. He is not afraid of being drunk, he was drunk when the evening wind left, he knows that when he is drunk, he will only sleep obediently.
Lu Youshan was the first one to get drunk, holding the championship cup, crying and laughing, muttering words.
Jiang Di’s drinking capacity was out of proportion to his stature, and after a few glasses of wine, he lifted the cheese like an iron. Shitou and Qi Xian couldn’t rescue the cheese from his hands.
Old Tan, the socialite, is the best at drinking, but he also drank too much, drunkenly singing to Yu Zhaohan: “You still owe me a hug…”
Shi Du asked Old Tan to stay alone.
“Brothers, I’ve decided!” Li Yuexi blushed, and boldly stretched out five fingers, “Everyone in the finals will be awarded a prize of 500,000 US dollars!”
Cheese, who was put down by Jiang Di, dazedly counted the exchange rate with his fingers: “How much is five hundred thousand dollars in RMB…”
Qi Xian supported him with a smile, and said, “It’s enough for you to buy a house in most cities.”
Yu Zhaohan sat on the sofa, leaning his head on his boyfriend’s shoulder, watching them laughing and making noise, opening his mouth from time to time to accept Shi Du’s feeding.
The crowd made noise until three or four o’clock in the morning, drunk and asleep, and the celebration banquet was considered to be over.
There are three bedrooms in the suite, and people can sleep on the sofa in the living room, so Cheese and the others simply slept here. Yu Zhaohan held on to his drunkenness and tiredness, and took the Champions Cup from Lu Youshan’s arms: “Shi Du, let’s go back to the room.”
Shi Du thought about taking care of the drunk fish, so he didn’t drink too much, and remained sober all the time. He helped Yu Zhaohan put on his coat and the hat on the sweater, and then hugged Yu Zhaohan in a koala hug.
Yu Zhaohan’s face was skillfully buried into Shi Du’s shoulder, full of security, even if people saw him on the road, he didn’t care.
Yu Zhaohan hugged the champion cup, Shi Du hugged him, and the two returned to the room reeking of alcohol.
Shi Du put Yu Zhaohan on the bed, got up to go to the bathroom to drain the water, the sleepy Yu Zhaohan suddenly grabbed him.
“What’s the matter?” Shi Du asked, “Are you thirsty and want to drink water?”
Yu Zhaohan tried his best to open his eyes wide, and said, “Shi Du, today is an auspicious day for us to win the championship…”
Hearing the words “auspicious day of the zodiac”, Shi Du had a premonition, and all the things that had been suppressed for a long time surged up all at once. He lowered his head, and kissed Yu Zhaohan’s wine-smelling lips forcefully: “You’re killing four times, you’re awesome, Yuyu.”
Yu Zhaohan also smiled at him: “But, I’m so sleepy, I should fall asleep.”
Shi Du coaxed him: “Go to bed after taking a shower, or you won’t be able to sleep well.”
“You wash it for me, thank you.” Yu Zhaohan said with difficulty. There is one thing that he must explain to Shi Du before he falls asleep: “Also, you… don’t forget me later.”
Time Du: “…”
He seems to understand why Yu Zhaohan has been drinking tonight.
“Are you trying to get yourself drunk on purpose?”
Yu Zhaohan nodded: “I won’t be in pain when I’m drunk to death.”
“…Don’t work so hard, I have a trick to keep you from being so hurt, I’ve learned it a long time ago.” Shi Du insisted, “And I don’t want to do this kind of thing when you don’t realize it. only myself.”
Yu Zhaohan didn’t believe Shi Du’s nonsense. Last time they tried so many times, it hurt every time.
“Anyway, you took this opportunity to quickly put me to sleep. From now on, our first night anniversary will also be our championship anniversary.”
Shi Du wanted to be tough but stopped: “This…isn’t very good, how embarrassing. How about another day?”
Yu Zhaohan’s eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he couldn’t hold on any longer, and said harshly: “Shi Du, please promise me, okay, if you don’t promise me, I won’t even close my eyes at ease.”
“All right, all right, I promise you, I’ll be with you when you fall asleep.” Shi Du assured Yu Zhaohan with complicated emotions, “Go to sleep quickly, don’t hold on, be good.”
