Chapter 71
In the evening, when Shi Du came out of the shower, he saw Yu Zhaohan sitting in front of the table, lowering his head and writing something on the tablet, chanting words, as if he was doing homework, and wanted to bite the pen when he encountered something he didn’t understand.
The pen was brought to his mouth, and Yu Zhaohan suddenly remembered that his mother said not to bite the tip of the pen, so he quickly pressed his lips together, and tapped himself on the head with the pen instead: “You can’t bite the pen, baby.”
Shi Du’s sexual fetish was poked hard, but he said: “How can anyone call himself a baby, die of laughter.”
Yu Zhaohan explained: “I’m learning from my mother.”
Shi Du grasped the key point: “So your mother called you baby? Then I want it too.”
“You are so strange.” Yu Zhaohan raised his head from the tablet, “You told me not to mention my mother, but you still want to compare yourself with her.”
Shi Du was slightly taken aback, and after realizing how foolish he was, he lowered his head and laughed: “It’s not because of you that I became like this.”
“I’m not playing with you,” Yu Zhaohan said seriously, “I’m serious about you.”
Shidu is very useful. He walked behind Yu Zhaohan and saw that Yu Zhaohan had written a page of famous quotes and internet quotes on Yu Zhaohan’s tablet. Celebrity quotes are okay, but there are some moaning and idiot types in the golden sentences on the Internet, which are embarrassing to watch.
Shi Du asked, “What are you doing baby?”
Yu Zhaohan looked at Shi Du with “you are so childish” eyes, and said expressionlessly, “Baby is preparing for the conversation with Xiao Jiang.”
Shi Du’s expression became more serious: “What’s wrong with Xiao Jiang?”
Yu Zhaohan told Shi Du about his recent discovery. Shi Du was a little surprised: “What did the coach say?”
Yu Zhaohan said, “The coach didn’t say anything.”
During training, Shi Du will not pay too much attention to other people like the captain and coach. Lu Youshan is an idiot when it comes to player mentality, and he is very grateful for not holding Yu Zhaohan back.
Shi Du recalled Xiaojiang’s performance in the training games in the past few days: “His data has not declined.”
“You can’t tell.” Yu Zhaohan said with a hint of pride in his tone, “This is my intuition as the captain.”
Shi Du smiled and said, “I trust the captain. What are you going to do?”
Yu Zhaohan was full of confidence: “First of all, find out why Xiao Jiang became like this, and then prescribe the right medicine – recite a lot of compelling words to him.”
This is Yu Zhaohan’s usual routine to solve the psychological problems of his teammates. It has been tried and tested repeatedly, and has never turned over.
For example, Cheese used to be beaten by trolls who scolded her mother, and felt very sorry for her mother. Yu Zhaohan taught him “virtual network virtual mother, virtual ancestral graves are not afraid of digging”. Now Cheese is not to mention being scolded by his mother, even if he is scolded by the whole family, he can calm down and laugh it off.
Another example, when he first became the captain, Qi Xian gave up on himself because of a broken relationship, and got drunk in a bar. A sentence he memorized from the Internet, “Crying for stinky fish and rotten shrimp, cheap or cheap” successfully made Qi Xian enlightened and came out of the shadows.
Shi Du didn’t take it seriously: “Your golden sentence is also useful to a fool like Cheese.”
Yu Zhaohan became unhappy: “Qi Xian is also useful.”
Shi Du suspected that it wasn’t the Internet quotes that were useful to Qi Xian, but the fact that the eighteen-year-old team leader carried him back to the base from the bar. Shi Du didn’t express his doubts, he agreed with Yu Zhaohan’s first step, to find the cause of the problem first.
Shi Du asked, “Are you going to ask Xiao Jiang?”
Yu Zhaohan shook his head: “With Xiaojiang’s character, if you ask him directly, he will only respond in silence. If I follow up and ask, it doesn’t fit Shine’s personality.”
Yu Zhaohan had a private chat with Jiang Di before. Even if Jiang Di was his fan, he wouldn’t tell him some things, he could only guess with his brain. “I’ve been analyzing it for a long time, and I already have some clues.”
Jiang Di’s symptoms only appeared after the match between zc and cobra. If it’s not for personal reasons, then the problem lies in this match.
Cobra’s operation is so flamboyant that everyone wants to scold them. Although Shine didn’t scold them, Yuyu scolded them to death long ago. Yu Zhaohan remembered that Jiang Di had asked a lot about this matter, and at the time he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Looking back now, Jiang Di was so cold that he would die if he said one more word, and he could say a few words about one thing It is enough to prove that he cares about this matter very much.
Jiang Di’s pursuit of fairness is obvious to all. He chose the career path of e-sports because e-sports only relies on strength to speak, and can give him the fairness he wants.
But what if not? If e-sports can also cheat, and the cheaters escape punishment because they are covered by referees, will Jiang Di question the meaning of his playing professionally?
Playing professionally for something is the foundation of a professional player’s belief. Once there is doubt, everything changes.
After Yu Zhaohan finished his analysis in one breath, he looked at Shi Du expectantly, with two large characters written in his eyes: praise me.
After Shi Du listened quietly, he felt a little envious of himself—what kind of treasure did he pick up, and how did Yu Zhaohan manage to be smart and stupid at ease.
Shi Du didn’t disappoint Yu Zhaohan, and praised him with a smile: “Captain is so smart, tell me.”
Speaking of kissing, Yu Zhaohan thought of one thing: “Shi Du, I want to try that one, the one I saw in the manga.”
“Which one?”
Yu Zhaohan picked up his phone and showed Shi Du a comic he had saved. The heroine in the manga is sitting on the gaming chair just like him, leaning against the back of the chair, with her head tilted back; while the hero is standing behind the chair like Shi Du, leaning over and kissing the heroine’s lips.
Shi Du: “…Are you sure you want to try?”
Yu Zhaohan nodded: “This is very cute, I want it.”
There is a dimensional wall between comics and reality, and Shi Du reasonably doubts the feasibility of this pose. But if the boyfriend wants it, what can he do, of course it is to satisfy him.
half a minute later—
“No, no, Shi Du, my little neck is so sore, it’s about to break.”
Tonight’s kissing training is over, and the goal of learning to breathe has not been achieved. For the rest of the time before going to bed, Shi Du spent rubbing his idiot boyfriend’s neck.
The next morning, Yu Zhaohan got up at eight o’clock and was shocked to find that there was no one in the next bed. Yu Zhaohan quickly turned on his phone and found that Shi Du had left him a message an hour ago.
[Timeless: Good morning Yuyu, I’m going to do morning exercises]
Morning exercise?
time travel?
Shi Du went to morning exercise?
Yu Zhaohan read Shi Du’s message repeatedly to confirm that he read it correctly. If it wasn’t for Yuyu being Shi Du’s exclusive name for him, and no one else knew about it, he would have chosen to call the police.
Shi Du’s morning exercise must also be doing morning exercise nearby. Yu Zhaohan went out to search, and found Shi Du and Jiang Di on the basketball court in the community.
Jiang Di’s sports equipment is very professional, sweatpants and a tight vest, revealing large bulging muscles. People who don’t know him guess his occupation, and at least half of them will guess that he is a fitness trainer. In contrast, Shi Du was much more casual, wearing a loose t-shirt and shorts, like a student who passed by the basketball court after class and came to play for a while on a whim.
Yu Zhaohan didn’t make a sound to disturb, the two of them were fighting vigorously, and they didn’t notice him. Shi Du controlled the ball, Jiang Di blocked him like a mountain, and saw through his fake moves. With great difficulty, Shi Du broke through this line of defense by relying on his agility, successfully took off and shot under the basket, and then… was blocked by Jiang Di neatly.
Yu Zhaohan frowned slightly.
Hey, his boyfriend plays basketball really well, I hope no one sees it.
The two played for an hour, paused for a break, stood by the court and chatted while drinking water. Yu Zhaohan was curious about what they said, but the captain’s intuition told him that he had better not disturb them.
Yu Zhaohan rubbed his slightly sore neck, turned and left.
After playing ball, Shi Du and Jiang Di went back to their room to take a shower, took a nap by the way, and showed up at lunch time. Training started after lunch, and Yu Zhaohan didn’t have the chance to spend time alone with Shi Du, since Shi Du was sitting next to him, and the two had to communicate on WeChat.
[Shine: I saw you playing basketball with Xiao Jiang in the morning, Xiao Jiang is better than you]
【Timeless: … I will really thank you】
[Timeless: Xiao Jiang is a former professional basketball player, he might be able to play cba after practicing. I can only be a little worse than him, it’s awesome, okay】
【Shine: How do you know? 】
[Timeless: He told me some things, and I checked some things myself. look at this]
Shi Du sent him a link, which was a post on a school forum. He remembered that Jiang Di dropped out of this university to pursue a career.
[The roster of this year’s school basketball team has been announced. If you don’t understand, just ask, why isn’t Jiang Di, who led the audience, here? 】
[1l: I don’t understand 1, hasn’t Jiang Di always been the c-position of the school team]
[5l: I will answer this question. I heard from the juniors at the Sports Academy that he seemed to be taking illegal drugs and was reported by his teammates, and then he was suspended by the Basketball Association. 】
[13l: The version I heard is the opposite of 5l. He reported his teammates for violating the rules and caused them to be banned from the game, and then he was pushed out by all his teammates. Now even the coach doesn’t want to talk to him]
[24l: The Basketball Association should investigate this matter, let’s take a look at the results of the investigation]
【245l: Report—Jiang Di dropped out of school! 】
[300l:? Why did you drop out of school before the results of the investigation came out? 】
【305l: It should have been released, it won’t be announced to the public [Tan Shou]】
【319l: So who broke the rules? 】
【325l: It must be Jiang Di. If he is innocent, there is no need to drop out of school]
【400l: What a pity, he’s not weak, why does he have to cheat? 】
[403l: It’s a pity that it’s a pity, cheating mother, don’t tarnish the word “competitive sports” for people like him]
…
Yu Zhaohan’s expression became colder the more he looked. He seemed to understand why Jiang Di had an almost pathological obsession with “fairness”.
【Shine: Do you believe this? 】
[Timeless: I believe it or not is not important, what matters is the outcome of the matter]
[Timeless: Xiaojiang dropped out of school and gave up competitive sports, this is the result]
Yu Zhaohan looked up at Jiang Di. Jiang Di was in a row alone. He manipulated the mouse and keyboard proficiently, and his eyes were firmly locked on the screen. He seemed to be concentrating, but there was a hole in his eyes.
After competitive sports, has e-sports let him down too?
Yu Zhaohan couldn’t help but say, “Jiang Di.”
Jiang Di was wearing earphones, so he couldn’t hear his voice, but he took off the earphones immediately: “Captain.”
Yu Zhaohan calmed down: “Do you have time? I want to be with you…”
“Anyone want to watch today’s game live?” Lao Tan walked into the training room and interrupted Yu Zhaohan, “I got some tickets from zc’s manager.”
Today there is a match between zc and jse, and it is also the match that zc is most likely to win for the first time. After “only killing people and not occupying points” and “only freezing people and not killing people”, R.H and zc established a friendship like a big brother and a little brother. The younger brother went to the field to kill the enemy, and the older brothers all wanted to watch and cheer.
“Me, me, me!” Cheese jumped up from the chair, “Zc’s mother came here uninvited!”
Shi Du, who didn’t know that he was once regarded as a male mother, said: “Zc said thank you, don’t want a male mother.”
Shi Shi shyly said, “Can you bring me one?”
Yu Zhaohan asked Jiang Di: “Do you want to go?”
Jiang Di hesitated for a second: “Yes.”
Qi Xian said: “Then let’s go together. After watching the game, we can go to the night market in Korea.”
Old Tan said: “But I only got three tickets in total. You can decide which three people will go.”
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Yu Zhaohan said: “Old rules.”
The way professional players select players is very simple, one solo round, whoever wins will quit.
To be fair, they have to use the same hero when they solo, and it can’t be the hero of their main role. For example, Shitou and Jiang Di, a tank and a nanny, solo is a short gun.
Shitou’s time in the first team is too short, even the specialized tank position doesn’t have enough time to practice, and he rarely plays other positions. He is not Jiang Di’s opponent at all when he plays short guns. In this round, Jiang Di won.
Yu Zhaohan and Qi Xian’s solo nurse. Qi Xian wanted to surrender when he got the captain by lottery. Sure enough, Yu Zhaohan allowed him to appreciate the unevenness of the world again in a minute, and the speed at which he milked himself could not compare to the speed at which Yu Zhaohan blasted his head with a biochemical gun.
Finally, Toto and Cheese Solo Tank. The tanks have thick blood bars and average damage. The two solo tanks are as fierce as a tiger in a single operation, and there are 250 blood bars left. Shi Du, who was used to harvesting crispy skin, soon lost his patience and found a place to hide by the river. When Cheese passed by, a charge rammed into it. The two fell into the river almost at the same time and drowned, but the system will judge that the side that fell into the river later won.
Cheese yelled at Timeless as an old bastard.
Yu Zhaohan and Jiang Di, Lao Tan is at ease, and the most worrying thing is Timeless. Old Tan told Shi Duan to watch the game quietly and not to cause trouble. Shi Du reassured him: “I’m not the protagonist today, and I’m not interested in stealing zc’s limelight.”
Jiang Di asked Yu Zhaohan, “What did you want to say just now?”
Yu Zhaohan and Shi Du looked at each other, and said, “No hurry, go out and talk.”
In the afternoon, the three ended their training early and took a taxi to the competition site.
