On the day of departure, the three teams going to Seoul, South Korea to participate in the competition gathered together at the Modu Airport. The true fans of each team had already made preparations to see off early in the morning. As soon as everyone appeared in the field of vision, there was a burst of screaming. It caused the security personnel at the airport to feel as if they were facing an enemy.
"It's really lively..." Such a picture reminded Lin Xiao of the deserted scene when he went to the competition at his own expense, and he was inevitably a little bit embarrassed.
Under the arrangement of the staff, everyone boarded the plane smoothly and prepared to fly directly to Seoul Airport.
Lin Xiao was sitting on the seat, seeing that the plane hadn't taken off yet, and was about to close his eyes to rest his mind, when he felt someone poke his shoulder from behind, and when he turned his head to face a serious face, he just felt annoyed It was funny again: "Ah, what a coincidence, wild goose."
His seat was at the back of his own team, and behind him were the members of Liuyun team. This poker-faced one was none other than the original owner, Yan Lingjiang.
This person is usually a sunny and bright image, but every time he sees him, he has a resentful woman's face. Lin Xiao also feels very helpless about this.
"I didn't have time to say it before, congratulations." When he said this, Yan Lingjiang frowned even tighter. This expression didn't look like a blessing at all, but as if someone owed him a hundred and eight thousand dollars .
"Thank you." Lin Xiao smiled sincerely.
Yan Lingjiang said "hmm", then turned around and talked to Zhang Fengyu next to him.
Lin Xiao scratched his head, and when he turned around, he happened to meet a pair of clear eyes, only to realize that You Jing had been staring at him like this for some time, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"
You Jing hooked the corners of his lips: "Big geese?"
"Ah." Lin Xiao responded, "You understand that 'I' is young."
You Jing asked: "He also knows?"
Lin Xiao said: "... I know."
The arc of You Jing's mouth became even deeper: "Deputy Shen, Captain Yan, and your wild goose... So, I was the last one to know?"
Such words fell into his ears, inexplicably, Lin Xiao only felt a chill seep from his back, and then saw You Jing turned sideways to look out the window after saying these words, and had no intention of talking to him again.
This smell is sour...
Lin Xiao blinked, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and he put it close to You Jing's ear and lowered his voice, "Jing Jing, I promise I won't hide anything from you in the future, okay?"
Youjing Wannian's icy expression cracked a little at this moment, and he touched the corner of his mouth after a while: "Who told you to call me that?"
Lin Xiao let out a "huh", quite innocently: "Don't you like what I call Dayan? Jingjing sounds so nice, don't you like it?"
You Jing took a deep breath, and choked out a word: "No."
Lin Xiao thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Then you are called Youyou? Xiaoyou? Or Xiaojing?"
You Jing finally turned around: "You Jing!"
Lin Xiao still looked at him with a smile: "Huh?"
You Jing looked serious: "Call me You Jing."
"Okay, You Jing." Looking at his appearance, Lin Xiao couldn't hold back and finally laughed out loud. Before the others were paying attention, he reached out and touched You Jing's face. He sat down on his chair with a serious face, and at first glance, his posture was particularly neat.
With the sound of the radio, the plane finally officially took off.
When they arrived at Seoul Airport, the Korean official staff had already been waiting there, and took the players to the hotel specially arranged for the international league.
Lin Xiao stood bored at the front desk waiting for registration. When he turned his head, he happened to see Yan Duzhou coming out of the elevator. He waved his hand: "Hey, old Yan, where are you planning to go?"
His voice was neither soft nor heavy, but the people around could hear him very clearly.
The rest of Team Black Rose couldn't help but craned their necks to look, feeling completely speechless—when did Lin Xiao know Team Yan so well? But don't pretend to be familiar, if Team Yan doesn't like him at all, it will be completely embarrassing for the team!
Fortunately, after Yan Duzhou followed the voice and glanced this way, he didn't turn a blind eye, but turned around and walked over. Glancing at the busy staff in front, he looked at Lin Xiao and asked, "How long will it take for you to register?"
"I don't know." Lin Xiao answered casually, and glanced at him, "You need me?"
"It doesn't count." Yan Duzhou said, "I made an appointment with a friend. If you have time, don't let me go together."
"Friend?" Lin Xiao frowned, and firmly refused without any hesitation, "No, no, no! Absolutely not!"
Just kidding, since Yan Duzhou would open his mouth to invite, it is obvious that he must have known that person before. There are only a handful of old friends who are still active in the Korean e-sports circle, and they are enough to get Yan Duzhou's cafe, so you can know who it is with your thumbs.
This guy Lao Yan has a record of picking his vest, and he is not stupid, so there is no need to give him another chance to murder himself.
"It's not easy to build such a thousand mountains and rivers once, I wish you a good time!" Lin Xiao didn't give Yan Duzhou any more chances, seeing that the check-in procedures had been arranged, he took the room card and turned around with You Jing's shoulder After leaving, "Jingjing, let's go upstairs."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Li shook his hands and turned the four big boxes he had stacked upside down, and the sound resounded through the sky.
He just froze in place, completely indifferent to the attention of teams from other countries.
The other members of the Black Rose team didn't even have the slightest intention to help, and they only realized it after a long time, and they all felt the corners of their mouths twitching: "... Scene, scene?"
Everyone cheered in unison—how disgusting!
...
In a coffee shop not far from the hotel, Yan Duzhou chose a side seat and sat down, ordered a cup of sugar-free latte, and waited quietly while watching the cars coming and going.
After about half an hour, a tall man opened the door and came in. After scanning around, his eyes fell on him, and he walked over.
"Sorry, I'm late." The man spoke fluent English, and took off his eyes, revealing the face that so many Korean female fans have dreamed of.
Devin, the leader of the Korean e-sports league, is also the person who agreed to meet Yan Duzhou here.
"Don't worry about it." Yan Duzhou hooked the corner of his mouth, "Waiter, you can serve coffee."
When the waiter put the cappuccino on the table, he couldn't help but stare at it curiously. When this customer ordered coffee before, she thought it would be a girl, but who knew that the person drinking this kind of sweet coffee would actually be such a handsome man.
"Cappuccino, rich in milk and sugar." After Devin took a sip, surprise flashed in his eyes, "I didn't expect you to remember my taste."
Yan Duzhou smiled: "It should."
"Let's get down to business, I'm sorry you lost the championship trophy this season." Devin put the coffee cup back on the table, his face became slightly serious, "I watched the game of the Black Rose team, if I guessed correctly If so, that Ghost Taoist player should be the LovelyGhost from before?"
Yan Duzhou nodded: "That's right."
Devin pondered for a moment, and said sincerely: "You should invite him together. We still owe him an apology for the Hanbok matter."
"He should be happy to accept it." Yan Duzhou said, looking up at him, "However, the reason you want to see him shouldn't be just for this, right?"
"I really can't hide anything from you." Devin smiled slightly, without the slightest embarrassment of being exposed, and spread his hands very calmly, "His style of play is really similar to that of an old ghost, and I am indeed very interested. Speaking of which, back then It's really a pity, you know, I still miss that old friend very much."
At the end of the sentence, there was a faint sigh.
Yan Duzhou's eyes flickered, he casually changed the topic, and said bluntly, "Why, does the appearance of LovelyGhost scare you? This year, our Chinese team is very strong."
Devin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Since we can beat your Tianqi team, I certainly believe in the current strength of the Black Rose team. But it is a pity that this year's international league champion will still be our ACE team."
Yan Duzhou's face was also curved: "This season, you may not be as lucky as before."
"Then just wait and see." Devin smiled and held out his hand, "I'll see you on the field."
Yan Duzhou smiled: "See you on the field."
Sunlight leaked in through the window sills and sprinkled on the two tall figures, casting a thin layer of halo. The two hands were tightly held together, whether it was the provocation in the speech or the ridicule between the words, it did not affect the mutual respect in the eyes of the two at all.
Whether it is Yan Duzhou who still persists in the arena, or Devin who has chosen to retreat to the second line as a coach, for them on the e-sports stage, there will always be only the most respectable opponents, and there has never been an enemy to hate.
Victory on this stage will always belong to the truly powerful and strongest.
...
Lin Xiao, who was packing his luggage in the hotel room, sneezed several times for no reason. Rubbing the tip of his nose, he couldn't help frowning: "Who is thinking of me in this blue sky?" After a pause, he turned to look at You Jing: "Jingjing, is that you?"
"..." You Jing glanced over coldly, "Don't call me that!"
Lin Xiao blinked and smiled: "Good scene."
