"So she confessed to you, and after confessing, she really went to prepare for the battle seriously?"
"… Roughly the same."
"Then isn't it good for her to do this? What's the problem?" Ye Bai didn't understand what the bamboo horse was struggling with, "Although I like you, but I know the playoffs are more important, so I couldn't hold back and didn't ask you to respond. You What else is there to be dissatisfied with?"
Xie Yi: "..." Why does it seem like I'm overreacting when you say it
Ye Bai really felt that he was overreacting, so he patted the table on the other end of the phone and said: "And you guys played very well in the training match recently, which is enough to prove that she is really trying to adjust her state and prepare for the semi-finals after she said that. Isn't that all right?"
Xie Yi was also quite straightforward: "I didn't say no."
Ye Bai smiled: "Then why are you talking to me? Or is it because she doesn't avoid you now and you're not used to it?"
Of course, Xie Yi didn't mean that. In fact, it was hard for him to describe his feelings. Zhou Tian was in a stable state and had a normal mood. I like how I feel.
Ye Bai: "..." Your fucking selfishness is almost transmitted through the 4G signal!
"No, you don't care if she really likes you. You want to talk to her because you are worried about the atmosphere and status of the team. Now she has proved to you that the status is fine!" Ye Bai said, "If you think it's not taste, it can only prove—"
"-Prove what?" Xie Yi actually interrupted him directly.
"It proves that despite the fact that you are the captain and she is your team member, you also care about her." Ye Bai said, his tone became firm, "Or, you just hope that she likes you, because you like her too. she."
Xie Yi was silent for a moment, then said: "...she is too young."
Ye Bai almost screamed on the other end of the phone: "Oh my God! Is this what you call denying?!" I've got it all right! You just like her, but you are embarrassed because of your age difference!
Xie Yi said that I never denied it.
"But the relationship between me and her is here. Whether I like her or not is secondary."
Compared to Ye Bai, as a party involved, he had to think a little more.
Not to mention the impact on the relationship between colleagues in a team, even considering Zhou Tian's age, he felt that the two of them were very inappropriate.
She just turned seventeen this summer, not even an adult, and he has been in this circle for more than four years including the time in the youth training camp. And as the captain of YYG, he already assumed the responsibility of a professional guide for her.
It is very unequal in terms of emotional status for a guide to talk about feelings with someone who has just entered the industry and is being guided.
Xie Yi clearly understood from Zhou Huang's mouth that when he heard the word "like", the reason why his first reaction was not to be happy was because of this.
"I don't think she really likes me either." At the end of the emotional counseling call, he said to Ye Bai, "Maybe it's just a fledgling plot, I have to be cautious."
Ye Bai: "...Although what you said may be reasonable, I suggest you not to say this to Xiao Zhou casually."
Xie Yi: "I know." If he could tell Zhou Tian directly, would he still need to call this unreliable person
"Oh, and I think you shouldn't think about it too much. A seventeen-year-old girl is concentrating on preparing for the game, so you can pretend that you haven't heard her confession and finish the playoffs first." Ye Bodun said. Dun, "Of course, if you Yuanyangguo are willing to give us water in the semifinals, I won't mind."
"Get out." Xie Yi unceremoniously dismissed and went back.
Yes, YYG's semi-final opponent is TSD.
After TSD struggled at the beginning of the season and failed in the intercontinental finals, the whole team felt like a bloodbath. The second round of the league played particularly well, and finally entered the playoffs in sixth place. In the first round of the game, he scored seventh in the regular season. In the second round, he won the third place in the regular season. He won five games. Now he is determined to enter the semifinals with YYG two days later.
The two semi-finals are held in Shanghai, which is also convenient.
The old venue is abandoned, and the new venue is closer to YYG's base, which can be regarded as a small advantage that is better than nothing.
Compared with the spring champion TSD, YYG's desire to win the semi-finals is actually more urgent, because they still may not be able to play the bubbling match, and TSD has actually stabilized its points after finishing six to four.
But no matter how fierce the confrontation on the field is, it will not affect the relationship between Xie Yi and Ye Bai, otherwise Xie Yi would not have poured out such private emotions to him.
Ye Bai made a joke, and casually said that no matter which of them entered the finals, they would treat each other to dinner.
Xie Yi thought about it and agreed.
"Okay," he said.
Two days later is the day to decide who should treat the guests. The lineup for the playoffs is a bit larger than the regular season, and there are more preparations to be done, so the whole YYG team set off to the venue in advance.
Compared to TSD, who have already played two Bo5s, they only have training matches to play recently, and they are relatively less hot.
"But don't be nervous, our training results are so good, there is no reason why we can't play in the playoffs, and we still have several secret tricks that we haven't used yet." On the way to the stadium, the coach started with chicken soup as usual.
The secret trick he mentioned is not an exaggeration. YYG has indeed practiced some tricks that have never been used outside during the preparation period. If it can be used in the playoffs, it should have an unexpected effect.
"The semi-finals that I lost in the spring, I must win back in the summer."
"If you can win, you will definitely win this time."
"I also think, I dreamed last night that we won the championship."
Everyone was talking, and the venue arrived.
Compared with the regular season, during the playoffs, the fans were obviously more enthusiastic. There were still several hours before the start of the game, and many fans had spontaneously put up banners outside the stadium.
When Zhou Huang got out of the car, he observed from a distance, and found that this group of fans was divided into factions in an organized way.
YYG fans are at the south end of the square, and TSD fans are at the north end. From a distance, there is quite a tense momentum of confrontation across the large fountain in the middle.
"It's exaggerated." She sighed with emotion in a low voice, "If you type it out after entering the arena, wouldn't it cover more than half of the auditorium?"
"How come, there are many of them that won't be played after entering the arena. They are made to support the scene outside the arena before the start of the game." Of course, there is the most important point that cannot be ignored, for the official staff to take pictures for business.
Zhou Huang: "...it's not easy to be a fan."
"Yeah, not every fan can fight against an idol like you, and even beat him twice." Wang Ren interjected, with a bright smile on his face, "Today is also up to you to carry!"
Zhou Huang had been with them for a whole season, and he could not change his expression in the face of this kind of mutual teasing.
Forget it, Carry is so tired, she said, let's leave it to us as a mid laner in the regular season.
"I'm just a second team jungler."
"Then you can't just leave it all to me, isn't AD also for a while?" In fact, Wang Ren had somewhat noticed the slightly subtle atmosphere between the two teammates a few days ago, so he deliberately tested it now and wanted to see Look at their reaction.
Xie Yi knew his thoughts like the back of his hand, snorted, and said with a smile: "The version is wrong, there is nothing I can do."
Of course, Ying Yuanxia spoke for his partner: "Yes, the living environment of AD in the playoff version is even worse, and the mid laner must stand up for a while."
When Zhou Huang heard Xie Yi smile, he couldn't help turning his head to look at him.
As a result, the eyes of the two happened to meet, which made her startled.
"Let's go." Finally Xie Yi spoke first, "It's time to go in."
"Let's go, I have to put on makeup." Wang Ren was the first to respond, "Oh, I really don't like makeup."
As he spoke, he hooked Han Ziliang and Ying Yuanxia's shoulders, deliberately walked a few steps faster, and left Zhou Tian and Xie Yi behind.
Zhou Huang raised his hand and scratched his hair. He didn't follow up specifically, but he didn't speak either.
The two walked side by side into the passage leading to the backstage of the stadium. The passage was very long, much longer than the one she had finally gotten used to. The person walking beside her breathed steadily and kept silent. What.
Just when she thought the journey would end in silence, he suddenly said, "Are you nervous?"
Zhou Huang thought for a while, and told the truth: "A little bit."
He didn't seem surprised, but he hesitated for a moment before continuing: "It's normal, I have a little bit too."
Zhou Huang knew that he was trying to comfort her, but in fact, she only told half the truth.
She was indeed a little nervous, but she wasn't nervous about the upcoming match between the two junglers in the semifinals and TSD, she was nervous about him.
In spring, she was not yet seventeen years old. When she didn't enter the professional circle, he fell at the feet of TSD, and then took the responsibility on himself.
They met TSD again in the semi-finals in the summer. As the team that played against TSD the most times in the playoffs and also lost the most times, the psychological pressure must be the greatest.
"...Don't think too much." She couldn't hold back the draft she had typed for a few days, "We are a team, and we will advance and retreat together whether we win or lose, and I have a hunch that this time we will definitely Can win."
Xie Yi didn't expect that before he could say the words of encouragement that he really wanted to say, she would comfort him in turn, and her expression was more serious than that morning when she gritted her teeth and said she liked him.
"Although it's a bit crazy for me to say this myself." She pursed her lips and continued, "But after one season, even the most picky fans of the team will admit that I am better than Song Chu, and you can trust me a little more .”
Trust me a little more, take it easy and win this game with me.
