The distance between the two streets is neither long nor short. Under Xie Yi's slow and cooperative pace, the two finally walked for more than half an hour before arriving at the base.
In fact, Zhou Huang was very tired after going out to play the game for more than ten hours, but when he really saw the brightly lit base in front of him from a distance, he suddenly felt a pang of regret.
Why is this here
Yes, although she didn't want to admit it, Zhou Tian really enjoyed the opportunity to be alone with him, even if she walked together without saying a word, she felt very happy.
This feeling didn't come out of nowhere, after all, since she joined YYG, she has always felt that Xie Yi is really a very good captain and a very good person. Regardless of the external evaluation, she felt very comfortable with him.
But there is a difference between being together and being alone.
Looking back, she couldn't tell when it started. Compared with everyone in the team acting together, she would look forward to the time when only she and Xie Yi were together. .
Zhou Tian knew what this meant, so from the moment she realized it, she had been intentionally suppressing her joy at this moment.
But suppression is not a long-term solution after all.
At least at this moment, she felt that she was about to be overwhelmed.
She tilted her head to look at him, with a slight upward angle, she could clearly see his jawline.
In a trance, she thought of the words of praise that his fans wrote after taking pictures every time they came to the game site. It's not gross, and it's not exaggerated, she thought, because he is indeed a little too good-looking.
"Here we are." While she was in a daze, he had already walked into the base first, and pushed open the glass door in front of him.
"Oh!" She hurriedly lowered her head and followed him in.
The others came back early, and now they have packed up and rested, leaving only a faint smell of alcohol in the lobby on the first floor.
Xie Yi had a good nose, and smelled it as soon as he entered the door, so he turned to face her and said, "Go upstairs and rest, I will check the doors and windows."
These things are usually done by dedicated staff, but tonight almost all the staff stationed at the base drank, and they were the last ones to come back, so the task fell to them.
Zhou Huang hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head and said, "I'll go with you, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have gotten off the bus halfway."
She admits that she is selfish. If someone else is standing in front of her at this moment, even if she wants to thank him for not going to rest alone first, she will just say that this task can be entrusted to her, not me. you together.
Because of this selfishness, she inevitably turned her eyes a little guilty after speaking.
Fortunately, Xie Yi didn't seem to think too much, let alone doubt anything, he just agreed with a hum.
The two put down the peripherals and checked the training layer for more than ten minutes before and after, before they felt at ease.
When going upstairs, Xie Yi asked her to go ahead, she really wanted to find something to talk about, so before entering the room, she turned around and asked him if there was still a queue tomorrow morning.
He was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said, "Didn't you ask me to take my mother to Shanghai during the holiday?"
Zhou Huang: "..." That's right.
Maybe because he saw that she was a little embarrassed, he added: "And it's too late to celebrate today." You'd better sleep in tomorrow morning.
Zhou Huang raised his hand and scratched his head, even though he was reluctant to give up, he could only say: "Yes, good night then."
"Good night." He didn't hesitate to reply her.
But this night, or this morning, Zhou Huang couldn't sleep well in the end.
As long as she closes her eyes, Xie Yi's face will appear in her mind. Either frowning or smiling, and the most common expressionless face, each look is too clear, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.
When she lost sleep because of this person last time, she could still tell herself that it was because she was worried about his hand injury, what about this time
The answer is ready to come.
…
Xie Yi realized that something was wrong with Zhou Tian when this short two-day vacation was coming to an end.
He accompanied his mother and his grandfather around Shanghai for two days. During the period, for the sake of convenience, he did not go back to the team base and stayed in the hotel where his family stayed overnight.
And when he sent people to the high-speed rail station and returned to the base the next afternoon, Zhou Huang, a ranking madman, was indeed the only one staying in the training room.
Xie Yi thought for a while, went back to the room and put down his things, and then went downstairs, but as soon as he entered, Zhou Tian stopped the line, saying that he had played enough today.
Xie Yi: "...?" Do you ever feel like you've played enough
Of course, at this moment, he was just a little confused, and it was after he received the leave that he really confirmed that something was wrong.
YYG's training games are generally divided into three time periods, ten in the morning, three in the afternoon and eight in the evening, and the two of them have developed the habit of getting up early, just to warm up before the first training game of the day .
Since they all maintain a similar schedule, of course it is a fixed double row.
However, on the first day of recovery leave, Zhou Tian got up early and queued in first.
Xie Yi: "..." It seems that there is an appointment first, so that's okay.
They lined up in Ueno, so he had to line up by himself, and because there were too few people in Hanbok early in the morning, he lined up again, still on the same side.
During this period, she changed her habit of duoing with him in the past, let alone commanding, and even the support she encountered was too pitiful, and she just put a question mark on the public screen, and she didn't scream at the same time as usual.
To be honest, Xie Yi was really not used to it.
For the past three months, he has listened to her whispering in his ear how to fight here and there, and what the hell is this and that playing, and he has already formed a habit. It is really strange that she suddenly quieted down. Extremely.
But when it came time to play the training match, her command was completely normal again, and even that same-speaking momentum was not the slightest bit less than in the regular season.
Xie Yi was too puzzled. Afterwards, he observed for another three days, and finally he was sure and certain that this little girl must have some opinion on him, otherwise why would she stop rowing with him all of a sudden? Even going to the base restaurant to eat has to be staggered with him? !
Even Han Ziliang, who has always been a big guy, unconsciously complained that the two of us in the field and the field have not acted together recently. Does it mean that the jungler will start to care more about the road.
Xie Yi: "..." No, she still loves to catch in training matches, so wake up.
But no matter what, the playoffs are about to start, and as the captain, he doesn't want any conflicts in the team, so after observing for three days, he decided to have a good chat with Zhou Tian.
In the early morning of the fourth day of preparations, the two met again in the empty training floor.
She was wearing earphones, and her eyes were always fixed on the screen in front of her. He could only walk over and watch her finish the game before talking to her.
From this point of view, it was nearly half an hour.
During the period, she brought her ranked teammates to turn the tide many times, but she still couldn't stand the AD that was ranked too good, and she lost the good situation she worked so hard to save on the high ground.
If it was him, he wouldn't be able to beat like this even with his feet, Xie Yi looked at it and couldn't help but think so.
"How much is this AD?" After the game, he asked first, "The operation is not very good."
Zhou Huang didn't look sideways: "More than 800 points, the main player is jungler."
This means that it is understandable that he was not very good at playing AD when he was replaced, but what he said is somewhat contrary to him.
Xie Yi saw that she was going to wait in line again, so he hurriedly stopped her and asked her to continue later, because he wanted to tell her something.
Zhou Huang's shoulders stiffened, and he didn't know if he guessed what he wanted to say, but this subconscious reaction alone was enough for him to frown.
"You're avoiding me." When he said it, he was very sure, "What happened?"
In fact, what he guessed at the beginning was that maybe his fans did something to break her down, so after the past three days of training, he specially posted on Weibo and went around various forums. It was very calm.
It's not the fan's problem, so even if he doesn't like to think so, he can only guess if it's him who makes her hate him.
Zhou Huang never expected that Xie Yi could ask her so directly.
But she couldn't refute it yet, because she was indeed avoiding him when she was not training.
"... nothing happened," was all she could say.
Xie Yi laughed angrily. Did nothing happen to her
"The playoffs have already begun." He found a good-sounding reason for his anger, "No matter what opinion you have on me, it's better to say it directly than to hold back and hide from me, do you understand?"
Zhou Huang was on fire from his accusatory stare, lowered his eyes and said: "... because the playoffs will be played soon."
Xie Yi: "...?" What do you mean
Zhou Tian was almost suffocated, she was not the kind of person who could keep everything in her heart.
Ever since she realized what she thought about Xie Yi, she suffered every day. Not because of his attitude, but because of himself.
She thinks this is not enough. The most important thing right now is the playoffs. How can she think about everything and affect the playoffs just because she likes a certain teammate so much
This is not only sorry for the team, but also sorry for my hard work throughout the season.
So before taking leave, she made up her mind, at least during the playoffs, she must not let this love continue to ferment.
She thought well, and did try her best to avoid being alone with Xie Yi, but whenever she was free, she was still upset.
But Xie Yi came to ask her why she was avoiding him.
This question was tantamount to adding fuel to the flames. For a while, Zhou Tian couldn't think of anything.
"... I just want to prepare for the game!" She bit her lips tightly.
Xie Yi still didn't understand the causal relationship. From his point of view, if she wanted to prepare well for the competition, then she shouldn't deliberately avoid him.
But directly accusing her is not what a qualified captain should do, so after considering it, he patiently asked one more question.
"Is there a conflict between not avoiding me and preparing for the game seriously?" He paused, "Or do you have any opinion on my style of play?"
"How could that be!" Of course she denied it, her tone and expression were extremely anxious, "...you are the best ADC I have ever seen, bar none."
Xie Yi didn't speak again, he just stood there, looking at her fixedly, waiting for her to answer the previous question.
Just being stared at by him, Zhou Tian felt that all the emotions she had suppressed in the past three days were about to explode. She finally realized that she had made a very wrong decision. Even if she avoided him, so what, she still liked him very much. , even at this time, in addition to the panic, there was also an extra burst of joy that he cared about.
"I... I just can't get too close to you!" She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and said quickly, "Just say a few more words to you, and I will like you more."
Xie Yi was stunned, but she threw out all the words that were pent up in her heart because of her broken head, and she threw it out crisply and resoundingly.
The more you like it, the harder it is to control your emotions.
Zhou Huang didn't want to be in a bad mood at such a critical time, so he wanted to stay as far away from him as possible. If possible, it's better not to like him for the time being.
It's just that it seems that doing so is not only useless, but also seems to have some counterproductive effects.
Instead, after speaking directly, she felt that the boulder that had been pressing on her heart for the past few days was instantly removed, and she felt much more relaxed.
"...Anyway, anyway, I'm done." She finally opened her eyes, "I will prepare well for the playoffs."
