In order to shoot the commercial, Xie Mingzhe took a day off from Master today. Since the filming progress was very smooth, the filming was finished at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Seeing that it was still early, Tang Muzhou simply took Xie Mingzhe to his residence, and joked, "Since you agreed to come and stay with me during the vacation period, then ask the leader to inspect the residence in advance to see if it suits your liking."
Xie Mingzhe readily accepted the title of "leader", tucked his hands in his pockets, and curiously visited his brother's residence - this is not the first time he has come to this place, but he used to be a "guest", but this time he wanted to be his boyfriend. Visit, always feel different.
The villa is very clean. The sofa in the living room is covered with a soft carpet, which makes it feel very warm. The decoration style is also the warm color that Xie Mingzhe likes very much, giving it a "home" feeling.
The first floor is the living room, the kitchen and the large master bedroom. In the middle of the bedroom is a King-size double bed, a large wardrobe occupying one wall, and there is a separate bathroom next to it. The entire sunny wall of the bedroom is made of floor-to-ceiling windows. The balcony is opened when the window is opened. The scenery of the community is very good. There are also comfortable chaise longues and small coffee tables on the balcony. Drinking tea and reading a book on the balcony is so pleasant.
Xie Mingzhe looked at this bed with some confusion. If we live together in the future, should we live in a separate room or share this bed with my senior brother? The bed looks so soft and comfy...
His questions were quickly answered.
Tang Muzhou took him to the second floor. There are four large rooms here, all of which are open, and none of them are furnished as bedrooms. It seems that he can only sleep with his senior brother. Xie Mingzhe is very satisfied with the result.
The first room upstairs is a gym with a lot of equipment. It looks very professional at first sight. No wonder my brother has such beautiful abdominal muscles. It is obviously the result of long-term exercise. If he moves to live with him in the future, Xie Mingzhe also wants to follow him. Develop a good habit of fitness together.
Next door is an exquisite study, with a lot of paper books, many of which are related to the economics that Tang Muzhou learned, as well as some classics. The room next to it is a game room. There are two sets of rotating seats and smart helmets. Xie Mingzhe asked curiously, "Why are there two sets of game equipment? Are you ready to play games with people in the future?"
Tang Muzhou said: "I just moved in a few days ago. It's a product we endorsed. I went to the manufacturer to buy two sets."
Xie Mingzhe took a closer look and found that the trademark was indeed the manufacturer who shot the advertisement today, and the helmet was not unpacked, so it was obviously a new one.
Tang Muzhou came over and put his arms around his shoulders, and explained in a low voice, "Before I was not with you, I never thought that my boyfriend would also be a professional player, so the rooms on the second floor are two other than the study room and the gym. The room has been empty, and I plan to renovate it according to my lover's preferences in the future. After confirming the relationship with you, I think it is more useful to make a game room and a card showroom. These two rooms are renovated by me recently. I think you will like it." After he said that, he took Xie Mingzhe to the next door: "Come and see, I set up a small room specially to collect the cards we made."
The three walls of the spacious room are exquisite display cabinets, and some cards are neatly placed on them. They are all physical cards that can generate star card phantoms. Among them are plant cards designed by Tang Muzhou, such as the Millennium God Tree and Mandala Flower. , there are also character cards designed by Xie Mingzhe such as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and they are placed together in categories like their medals of honor.
Xie Mingzhe remembered that he had a habit in his previous life to collect all the various competition awards he had received since he was a child.
And Tang Muzhou now specially vacated this card showroom to collect the cards they made by himself.
In a year, three years, or even five years, when they walk into this room again, will the three walls of display cases fill up? At that time, looking at the cards that he had made, and the bits and pieces since he met the other party, will come to his mind.
These cards are a commemoration and also a testimony to their feelings.
Lin Daiyu was placed in the most eye-catching position. That was the first card Xie Mingzhe made a long time ago. It was an instant death judgment for flowers. It was because of this that he attracted the attention of the Fenghua Guild. professional players.
Tang Muzhou put this card in the middle, obviously to commemorate the fate of the two that started because of this card.
Xie Mingzhe's heart warmed slightly, his brother really cared about him, and he could feel this from many details. Recently, I have been busy making cards and rarely meet each other. Unexpectedly, Tang Muzhou is preparing for the future of the two, and he has specially redecorated the room on the second floor for himself...
Looking at Tang Muzhou's gentle eyes, Xie Mingzhe couldn't help reaching out his hand, hugged him gently, and said seriously, "Thank you for your hard work, I like this room very much, I'll put other cards in it later, wait a lot. Years later, maybe we can still watch it together, full of memories."
Tang Muzhou: "..."
The little junior brother who took the initiative to give him his arms was so enthusiastic that he almost couldn't hold it. Tang Muzhou stabilized his mind, smiled and hugged Xie Mingzhe back, and said softly, "If you like it, this is also the birthday present I prepared for you in advance."
Xie Mingzhe was startled: "Ah? Birthday?"
Tang Muzhou rubbed his hair affectionately: "Did you get dizzy playing cards, even forgot your birthday?"
Xie Mingzhe thought about it carefully, his birthday is August 1st, which is next Friday. At the same time, August 1st is also the opening day of the second half of the Star Card Professional League game—if it wasn’t for the reminder from my brother, he would have been too busy to forget.
However, he had no parents since he was a child, and other children would eat cakes on their birthdays. His birthday was no different from ordinary days, and Xie Mingzhe himself had no interest in birthdays.
Tang Muzhou prepared a birthday present for him in advance. Xie Mingzhe was a little surprised, but he was also very happy. After recovering, he immediately narrowed his eyes with a smile, hugged his senior brother tightly and said, "Thank you, this gift is very interesting, I really like it!"
Tang Muzhou smiled and said, "There are other things, and I will give them to you when the time comes."
Xie Mingzhe was very curious: "Do you want to give it to me on August 1st? That day is the opening ceremony. I guess people from our club are going to have a dinner after the game and may not be able to celebrate your birthday alone with you."
Tang Muzhou said: "Then on the evening of July 31, how about we spend time together until midnight?"
Xie Mingzhe couldn't bear to let his brother's preparations become futile, so he simply agreed: "Okay, if I go back so late, I have to ask my master for a leave, and then you can help me tell the lie."
The two smiled tacitly and quickly colluded to deal with Master's lines.
After returning to Nirvana after dinner, Chen Qianlin asked him casually, "After filming the commercial, why did Chen Xiao come back alone? Where have you been?"
Xie Mingzhe looked away with a guilty conscience: "My brother and I went to buy some daily necessities."
"Oh." Fortunately, Chen Qianlin didn't ask any further questions, and said calmly, "The schedule has been sent out, come and have a look."
"It's finally announced!" Xie Mingzhe has also been waiting for the schedule. Hearing this, he immediately came to the conference room with Master. Chen Xiao and the other three were there. A table was magnified on the projection screen. Yu Ke raised his head and watched carefully. After seeing Azhe, he ran over and said, "Azhe, I don't know if it's good news or bad news. Our doubles competition is in Group A!"
"What's wrong with Group A?" Xie Mingzhe looked up and saw that there were a lot of players who signed up for this double competition, so they were divided into eight groups, each with 6 teams. First, the round-robin competition in the group was played, and the results were based on the victory. Calculating the points, the top two in the group qualify for the top sixteen. From the top 16, it is a knockout, and if you lose, you will be eliminated directly.
Group A is the first group. Except for the pair of Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke, three of the other groups are from second-tier teams that are not well-known, but two pairs of partners have very familiar names—Liu Ran, Zhou Xiaoqi; Bai Xu , Yi Tianyang.
Xie Mingzhe's eyes lit up: "Are Liu Ran and Zhou Xiaoqi newcomers to the Fenghua Club?"
In order to improve Xie Mingzhe's actual combat level as soon as possible, Tang Muzhou asked Fenghua's newcomers to be his sparring partners. Xie Mingzhe used Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing's water-based card group to abuse several newcomers to the point of confusion. It is said that Zhou Xiaoqi's sister also had nightmares for several days. , dreamed that he was persuaded by Qin Keqing to hang himself.
Xie Mingzhe was very impressed with these two players—both are potential seeds that Fenghua is focusing on cultivating, and their awareness is not bad. Sister Zhou Xiaoqi was the champion of the last masters competition. She can make water plant cards by herself, such as kelp, seaweed, seaweed and so on. No official debut.
It seems that the two newcomers will officially debut in this double competition
Chen Xiao looked at Xie Mingzhe with a half-smile but said: "This should be the debut of the two newcomers. Meeting you, the big devil, I think it will leave a serious psychological shadow in their careers."
Xie Mingzhe: "..."
Am I that scary
Xie Mingzhe looked at the schedule and pointed to the name Yi Tianyang with some doubts: "Bai Xu is also in our group. Who is his partner Yi Tianyang? Why don't I remember?"
Chen Qianlin explained: "Yi Tianyang used to be a player in the City of Darkness and has a good relationship with Pei Jingshan. He left the club last year because of his graduation defense, but he did not announce his retirement, and the file is still in the league. Please come back and help."
"Then why didn't he return to the capital of the dark night?" Xie Mingzhe thought for a while and speculated, "Could it be that Xiaobai gave him better conditions and dug him out?"
"There is a possibility." Chen Qianlin analyzed, "At present, only Bai Xu in the Starry Sky team has a good strength. It is good to dig Yi Tianyang to the past, just to improve the overall level of the team. This player Yi Tianyang is not particularly famous. But the strength is very strong. He used to be a first-class support in the professional league, even more powerful than Xu Hang from the Temple of the Gods. After he left, Pei Jingshan brought out a newcomer to play in the team competition, and he used to support the Pei Ye combination."
In this way, with the help of this powerful assistant, Xiaobai's strength has greatly increased in the double match.
In the team competition in the first half of the year, Nirvana and Xingkong won a bloody fight for the qualifying places in Group B. In the end, Nirvana successfully qualified, and Xingkong failed to qualify for the playoffs. Now that it's a double match, and I'm in the same group with Xiaobai, this is really fate!
Will Xiaobai want to cry when he sees the group list
Xie Mingzhe doesn't want to bully Tang Muzhou's younger brother all the time, but he can't deliberately release water during the game, so I can only hope that Xiaobai's psychological endurance will be a little stronger after being abused a few times - I will know later that Xie Mingzhe and his brother are the same. Yes, don't get mad.
Thinking of Xiaobai's expression when he asked him, "You are my brother's boyfriend" with wide eyes, Xie Mingzhe touched his nose, ignoring the fact that he was in the same group with Bai Xu, and looked back at Yu Ke and said, "What you said What's the good news and bad news?"
Yu Ke explained: "The good news is that the competition in Group A is not particularly fierce, and there is no particularly strong god standing in the way. If we qualify, there is still hope. The bad news is that because Group A is at the top of the queue, on August 1 The opening ceremony of the No. 1 arranged our game! It's the pair of newcomers we played against Fenghua."
Is there a game on the opening day? This surprised Xie Mingzhe.
He originally thought that if the double match opened, the players who had won the championship before would be invited to play a game for the audience to appreciate, but he did not expect that they would play first in Group A in the order of the groups.
No one knows exactly what rules the league is grouped by, but there will be no more than two particularly strong combinations in each group. On the surface, the overall strength of Group A is the weakest - after all, the people in this group have never won any medals in the double competition.
But the real insiders don't say that.
Because, Group A seems to be weak, but it has the most unstable factors in the entire league.
- Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke.
Although these two are "rookies" who have just participated in the double competition this season, everyone can see Xie Mingzhe's strength, and maybe they will become the strongest dark horse in the double competition!
Xie Mingzhe took a closer look at the other groups. Tang Muzhou and Xu Changfeng were in group D, and Chen Xiao and Qin Xuan were in group F. The other well-known groups were randomly scrambled in the group stage until the 16-to-8 knockout. Only these powerful combinations will meet. And Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan of Group C, when their names appeared on the official website, they attracted the screams of countless fans—
The Nie Lan combination actually participated in this doubles competition. Is this going to win the third consecutive championship? !
In the doubles event, this pair is the absolute king, having won the championship twice. They have known each other for 20 years, and their tacit understanding is unparalleled. The combination of air strikes and land warfare is also very strong.
Xie Mingzhe knew that he and Yu Ke had little hope of winning the championship. The main purpose of participating in the double match was to see the playstyles of various powerful combinations and to accumulate some battle experience. He could only take one step at a time and play every game well. !
