The singing place was not too far from the hotel where EG was staying. After returning to the hotel by car, a few people put away their things and changed their clothes. They went to the hot pot restaurant downstairs and went to sing.
Qiao Yanzhou didn't like singing. Although he always went to the karaoke hall with his classmates when he had nothing to do in high school, every time Qiao Yanzhou basically belonged to the players who sat in the corner and played with their mobile phones. But often the more people in high school like this, the more they love to call Qiao Yanzhou, because this way, one less person will grab the microphone, and one more person will earn AA money. Why not do it
However, these people are also very considerate. Every time they go to sing, they have to choose the KTV with stronger mobile phone signal to take care of Qiao Yanzhou's feelings.
Before going to sing, Qiao Yanzhou made a special phone call to Liang Dong, and then he found out that Liang Dong didn't have time to watch the live broadcast of the finals because he had to be a substitute. But Zhao Lingling looked at it, and specially took a few close-up pictures of Qiao Yanzhou to Liang Dong. At that time, Liang Dong was so excited. Before the competition was over, he had already started calling Qiao Yanzhou's cell phone. After calling for a long time, he couldn't get through. Wonder why no one picked up.
This is why there are thirty missed calls from Liang Dong on Qiao Yanzhou's phone...
When Qiao Yanzhou called Liang Dong, Liang Dong was still confused on the phone: "Didn't everyone say that there was a delay in the live broadcast? I think your game should be over by the time I call you." Bar!"
"Your first phone call was made ten minutes after the start of the third game. At that time, the highland of TR was not even connected," Qiao Yanzhou said while flipping through the call records, "Your home delay can be extended by half Hours? That's a rerun!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, listen, people who have played professional games are different," Liang Dong smiled on the phone, "They are all people who have been to TR Highland, and now I will go to our family Zhao Lingling the 'highlands'."
"If you keep chatting with me, I can turn on the speaker."
The two of them got stuck on the phone for a while, and Qiao Yanzhou was urged by Coach Chen to leave quickly. Before hanging up the phone, Liang Dong said that he would come to the club to see him if he had an opportunity in a few days. Qiao Yanzhou thought that the opposite was a rest period, so he agreed.
After coming to the KTV, the few of them opened a luxury room extravagantly. After entering the room, Qi Chen sat directly in front of the karaoke machine and ordered a song "Tracker's Love" for Coach Chen. The song, was beaten by Coach Chen with the microphone.
Qiao Yanzhou was still curled up in a corner looking at his phone. EG's official Weibo had already posted the photos of today's match, and he was able to get a close-up photo. This was something Qiao Yanzhou never expected.
Although it is true that he played three games in a row today, Qiao Yanzhou has always positioned himself as a soy sauce player, Qi Shen C in one sentence, Gu Zixing C in two rounds, and he just randomly rounded up the number of people.
In addition, Qiao Yanzhou also looked at the comments below. Unsurprisingly, there are more people commenting on Gu Zixing and Qi Chen. There are also a few popular comments asking where Yao Le has gone. Some people guess that they are sick. Had to let a substitute play, and some people speculated that it was because Yao Le was a member of the TR team before, because he was afraid that he would lose face if he could not beat the TR team, so he chose to give up.
In short, there are all kinds of guesses, but none of them are based on ideas. It's no wonder that it would be disgraceful if the matter of Yao Le's retirement was found out by the media. It seems that there is no such thing in EG. The top management did not intend to expose this matter so early before doing a good job in the follow-up public relations work.
Qiao Yanzhou originally thought so, but in the next second, he casually refreshed the Weibo page and was slapped in the face in seconds.
Official Weibo of EG E-sports Club
"Statement Regarding the Transfer of Former EG Team Player Listener (Yao Le) During the Contract Period"
Qiao Yanzhou froze for a moment when he saw this headline. He really didn't expect the club to be so fast. Yao Le just left in the afternoon and the statement came out in the evening. It seems that EG has already started planning It's over. What's more embarrassing is that there is no movement from WG.
EG did not specifically say which team Yao Le transferred to in the statement, so the current scene is somewhat embarrassing, as if one team is eager to get rid of Yao Le while the other team is not very willing to accept him. Yao Le was caught in a crack, no matter how Yao Le was regarded as a star player with six-figure fans in the league, it was indeed a bit embarrassing to make it like this today.
Qiao Yanzhou looked up at Coach Chen, who was singing "Half-Curved Moon" with a microphone in his hand.
Others, Qiao Yanzhou, don't know, but Coach Chen must have seen this statement before. Since the official blog can be released tonight, it must have been drawn up at least a week ago. After reading this statement, Coach Chen actually gave Yao Le a chance to play, thinking that he might be able to let Yao Le stay with this victory...
"I gave you a chance."
The words Coach Chen said to Yao Le are still lingering in Qiao Yanzhou's ears. He can feel the pity in Coach Chen's tone for Yao Le's departure. Coach Chen is a person who cherishes talents very much. , which is recognized by all.
"What are you thinking?" Gu Zixing reached out and handed Qiao Yanzhou a piece of watermelon with a toothpick, "The coach told you that you didn't even hear."
"Huh?" Qiao Yanzhou looked up at Coach Chen who was standing in front of the screen.
"Come on Xiaozhou, let's sing a song!"
Coach Chen's "Half-Curved Moon" had already been sung, and he probably felt that Qiao Yanzhou was sitting in the corner all this time, so he passed the microphone to Qiao Yanzhou. Qiao Yanzhou quickly waved his hands: "I can't sing."
"Hurry up." Coach Chen didn't like this, and pointed to the screen, "Just this one, sing a few words quickly, otherwise why are you here, and spend tens of dollars to sit here and play with your phone."
"Ah..." Qiao Yanzhou froze for a moment, then looked up to see Jay Chou's "What Kind of Man" was playing on the screen, and he didn't know who ordered it.
Qiao Yanzhou really felt that it was a bit difficult. Usually, he just hummed this song casually, but today he suddenly said that he needed an extra microphone. It always felt weird. But now, Coach Chen has put on airs during training. It seems that today he has to sing even if he sings, and he has to sing if he doesn't.
Aggrieved, Qiao Yanzhou turned his head and glanced at Gu Zixing, and found that Gu Zixing was dragging his head and looking at him with a smile, without any intention of speaking for him.
"Then sing a few lines," Qiao Yanzhou cleared his throat, just as the prelude of the music had passed, Qiao Yanzhou quickly connected the lyrics.
Kissing your hand still resting on your head
The person who made you lie on your chest is no longer me
these ordinary actions
now called sad
Oh... sad
Qiao Yanzhou didn't sing very out of tune, but he didn't have any emotions and ups and downs, and he was always flat. He was completely different from Qi Chen and the others who were roaring singers. Qiao Yanzhou only entered a little state when he sang the chorus.
what kind of man are you
Watching her go but not paying attention
How naive you are, don't hold on
Expecting you to save you but handing over to others
Every time Qiao Yanzhou sang "What kind of man are you?", everyone would sing "Your third aunt touches a man". After singing, I was eagerly looking forward to the next line "Your third aunt touches a man". The most frightening thing is that there is no sense of disobedience.
Qiao Yanzhou's eyes were fixed on the lyrics on the screen. He wanted to laugh but he was afraid of accidentally singing the wrong words. It showed how nervous he was. After finishing the work, he put the microphone on the table and continued to curl up in the sofa.
Gu Zixing smiled: "It's like killing you."
"It's not my life, but my third aunt's." Qiao Yanzhou also smiled, straightened up and took a bottle of beer from the table, and touched the bottle in Gu Zixing's hand.

Playing until almost eleven o'clock, Qiao Yanzhou went to Coach Chen and said that he had to leave first. He would go home tomorrow and go to the hotel to clean up today. Coach Chen was not an unreasonable person, so he let Qiao Yanzhou go, by the way He even let Gu Zixing go.
Gu Zixing drank a lot today but seemed to be still sober, the two of them walked back to the hotel together, and held hands when they reached a less crowded place.
"Why are your hands still so cold after drinking?" Qiao Yanzhou raised his eyebrows.
"I washed my hands before I came out just now." Gu Zixing smiled, changed his hands and interlocked with Qiao Yanzhou's fingers.
Qiao Yanzhou leaned towards Gu Zixing unconsciously: "I saw Yao Le's announcement of his withdrawal from the team on Weibo today."
"Yeah." Gu Zixing didn't say much, Gu Zixing never said much about Yao Le.
It's no wonder, from what Tang Xuan said to Yao Le after today's game, it can be heard that the people in the team know something about Yao Le and Ren Ming.
There are generally two ways of dealing with this kind of thing. One is talking a lot, gossiping for three days and three nights without sleep, and the second is like EG players, who talk very little. , don’t comment on anything, like Tang Xuan, as long as you don’t provoke me, I won’t say anything, but as long as you provoke me, I can directly slap you in the face.
"You can go home with me tomorrow." Qiao Yanzhou turned to look at Gu Zixing, "Today I told my sister and my mother that I want to bring a friend back."
Gu Zixing smiled, "And asked your sister to pass on the message."
Qiao Yanzhou didn't say anything, his expression froze for a moment.
To be honest, he hasn't had a positive conversation with his mother for a long time.
Before, Qiao Yanzhou would deceive himself and tell himself that he was afraid that his mother would keep asking about Cao Ting, so he refused to talk to his mother all the time, but now Qiao Yanzhou has gradually begun to realize that things are not just like this. He is deliberately avoiding some things, although he will have to face these things sooner or later, for example, he is a homosexual, for example, he now has a boyfriend, these things do not mean that they do not exist if he avoids them.
Qiao Yanzhou didn't know how to tell his parents, and he didn't know what the consequences would be. Everything was unknown.
"Little Joe, let's take a picture."
Gu Zixing probably felt that Qiao Yanzhou was preoccupied there, so Gu Zixing stopped Qiao Yanzhou. The two happened to be walking on the overpass, and they could see the brightly lit night scene of City B behind them. Gu Zixing took out his phone and hugged Qiao Yanzhou from behind.
"How to shoot?"
"Just shoot like this."
Gu Zixing put his arms around Qiao Yanzhou's neck, Qiao Yanzhou turned his head, stretched out his hand to pull Gu Zixing's glasses off and put them on his face, using the tip of his middle finger to press the glasses frame stuck on the bridge of his nose, and deliberately showed a very middle-aged expression .
In fact, Qiao Yanzhou really enjoys the feeling of peace and tranquility. He can feel the warmth of Gu Zixing's body when he hugs him. Qiao Yanzhou knew very well that he was getting deeper and deeper now, and he also knew that the more this happened, the more painful things he would face in the future.
"If only I could really give birth to you a child..." The moment Gu Zixing let go of Qiao Yanzhou after taking the photo, Qiao Yanzhou suddenly lowered his head and murmured. Why is his mouth suddenly uncontrollable
Gu Zixing froze for a moment.
Qiao Yanzhou also suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly waved his hand at Gu Zixing: "No, no, no, I'm joking! I..." Before I finished speaking, Gu Zixing suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Qiao Yanzhou's waist from behind , tapped Qiao Yanzhou's mouth lightly with his lips.
Gu Zixing knew what Qiao Yanzhou was afraid of.
"Don't be afraid, little Qiao." Gu Zixing stretched out his hand to touch Qiao Yanzhou's face, "I'll be with you."
