Ye Chenxi invited Master to eat western food at a nearby restaurant, and specially reserved a private room for two people to chat. Lan Weiran was a big slacker. After entering the house, he sat on the sofa by the window and basked in the sun, ordering food. The matter is completely handed over to the apprentice.
Ye Chenxi was happy to serve Master, ordered his favorite steak and fruit salad, and ordered two more cups of coffee.
After the meal, Lan Weiran cut the steak piece by piece with a knife and enjoyed it very much. Ye Chenxi kept smiling and looked at him. The afternoon sun was very bright, and it shone on Lan Weiran's face through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Sitting by the window and having a face-to-face lunch with him, Ye Chenxi's originally gloomy heart gradually changed. became warm.
Lan Weiran noticed that the apprentice had been looking at him, and raised his head in confusion: "Aren't you going to eat?"
Ye Chenxi smiled and said, "I don't like steak, this is for you, I'll order another."
Lan Weiran stretched out his hand to bring his plate in front of him, and said with a smile, "Then give it to me, I have a big appetite and can't get enough of a steak."
After saying that, he ate Ye Chenxi's steak unceremoniously, with a smile on his face, like a satisfied cat.
When he was in the team, he had such an informal character, and he was never polite to his apprentices. During the two years they were together in Luo Huaci, every time they had lunch, Lan Weiran didn't have enough dishes to eat, so he Grabbing food from his apprentice, Ye Chenxi was also used to master's heartlessness, and every time he had lunch with him, he would consciously order him an extra steak - he likes steak the most.
At this time, seeing him happily eating steak, Ye Chenxi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
They have been separated for several years, but the tacit understanding between their master and apprentice seems to have not changed at all.
This western restaurant was chosen by Ye Chenxi with great care. The steak was very authentic. Lan Weiran's lunch was quite satisfying. After eating two steaks, he filled his stomach and wiped his mouth. He smiled and said, "Thanks, I'll invite you next time. It's not good to ask my apprentice to treat you every time."
Ye Chenxi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as the master is willing to appreciate his face."
Lan Weiran took a sip of coffee and said, "By the way, I've been busy with the city competition recently, and I haven't paid much attention to the professional league this season. How is Luo Huaci's performance?"
"Luohuaci's points in the regular season are currently fourth, and it is not a problem to enter the playoffs." Ye Chenxi paused and said, "It's hard to say whether we can win the trophy. In recent years, several strong teams in the league have The strength is about the same, and a lot of times it is to watch on the spot."
Lan Weiran said: "You have already won the championship twice, and you are considered the youngest and promising captain in the entire professional league. Don't take your final results too seriously. The current structure of the league is not like it used to be. There are too many strong teams. , the championship rotates, which is also a normal phenomenon."
This tone is quite like the master is educating the apprentice...
Seeing his serious look, Ye Chenxi smiled and said, "I know, don't worry, Master."
Lan Weiran nodded: "You have indeed matured a lot, and you look like a captain. I won't be able to ask about Luo Huaci in the future. In short, you just need to work hard..." Lan Weiran looked down at his watch, and then Standing up, "I should go back and continue training in the afternoon."
Ye Chenxi got up immediately and said, "I'll take you off."
The restaurant where the two ate was quite close to the Internet cafe. Ye Chenxi drove to the downstairs of the Internet cafe within 10 minutes, and happened to meet Liu Chuan who came back from dinner.
Seeing Lan Weiran getting out of the car, Liu Chuan stepped forward to say hello, "Team Ye, it's been a long time."
Ye Chenxi also smiled gracefully and shook hands with Liu Chuan: "Long time no see."
Lan Weiran turned around and said, "Xiaoye, go back quickly, I'll go to training first, and leave Liu Chuan." After that, he asked Liu Chuan to turn around and enter the Internet cafe together.
Ye Chenxi got into the car and watched Liu Chuan and Lan Weiran walk into the Internet cafe side by side, and then drove away.
The surroundings of this Internet cafe were cleaned by Xu Ce. When their Longyin team acted collectively, they also walked through the back door of the Internet cafe, so they did not encounter paparazzi and did not attract fanatical fans. Xu Ce was worried that the reporters and fans would affect everyone's training, so he asked an acquaintance to help him check.
Liu Chuan was naturally very clear about this, and he called Xu Ce aside and said, "You have arranged the training very well. I know that you are quite reliable in important matters. I said that before, but you are not angry. Bar?"
Xu Ce said, "No."
Liu Chuan said with a smile: "So you left suddenly last night, it's not because of something at home, right?"
The dismantled Xu Ce's face was a little stiff, and he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Shaoqing's direction. Liu Chuan followed his gaze and saw Jiang Shaoqing was sitting in front of the computer studying the video carefully. Liu Chuan smiled clearly and said, "It seems to be related to Shaoqing?"
Xu Ce: "..."
Jiang Shaoqing seemed to be aware of something. He looked back and looked away immediately after meeting Xu Ce's gaze. Xu Ce also withdrew his gaze in embarrassment.
Liu Chuan said with a smile: "I won't ask more about the specific reasons. I'm actually very happy that you can come back today. It's not a good habit to leave the team if you don't like it. If you have any opinions on me, you can contact me directly. Said, you can ask for leave at any time if there is something at home or at the company, but you'd better put away the idea of 'leaving'." Liu Chuan smiled and leaned into his ear and said, "Don't forget, your contract is still mine. in hand."
Xu Ce: "..."
The contract Liu Chuan was talking about was the contract that Liu Chuan asked all the players to sign on the day Jiang Xue came to the team. Xu Ce also signed it with everyone at the time. Now it seems that Liu Chuan had planned for a long time. It's to pay everyone's wages, but it's actually to prevent someone from running away...
Facing the captain's gaze that seemed to "see through everything", Xu Ce touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "Cough, I didn't want to leave either, it's... There's really something going on at home."
Liu Chuan asked back: "Really?"
Xu Ce: "..."
Liu Chuan patted him on the shoulder: "Well, what you say is what you say."
Then Liu Chuan turned around with a smile, and walked away like a parent comforting a troubled child, leaving only Xu Ce tangled in the same place.
Of course, Liu Chuan didn't know anything about the relationship between Xu Ce and Jiang Shaoqing, he just "pretended to know". After being the captain for so many years, Liu Chuan naturally has his own unique way of dealing with disputes within the team. He is best at pretending to be deep. Sometimes he shows a smile when he doesn't know anything. The attitude of the deputy "Let's recruit from the truth, the captain has seen through everything" really fooled a lot of team members.
Obviously, Xu Ce thought he already knew something, so he stood there stiffly, frowning in a ball, looking particularly funny.
***
That night, after Xu Ce sent everyone back to the hotel, he drove home and stayed there. The reason was naturally "something at home". In fact, he didn't want to live in the same room with Jiang Shaoqing, lest he would be embarrassed for a while.
The strategy says that after the confession is rejected, you can't be too hasty, as that will make the relationship stiff. Chasing people should be done step by step, slowly infiltrating.
So, Xu Ce honestly served as a driver for the Longyin team for three days.
Lan Weiran asked Liu Chuan in confusion: "Isn't Xu Ce in a hurry at home? How do I think he has been busy these two days?"
Liu Chuan said with a smile: "I don't know about that. Anyway, he only has urgent matters at night, but not during the day."
"..." Si Lan said that he didn't understand, so he ignored it and let Xu Ce wander around the Internet cafe where the team was training for three days.
Time passed very quickly, the first round of the national finals was over soon, and the team A and C team really defeated the miracle team. Yin, Chenguang, and Miracle were all entered into the lower bracket.
Both Longyin and Chenguang were eliminated in the first round. They will play a resurrection match on the afternoon of this Saturday. The resurrected team will play a resurrection match against the Miracle Team, which was eliminated in the second round next week. It is natural to enter the semi-finals, and the loser can only say goodbye to the league.
The teams in the loser's bracket can't lose any more. Because of the existence of the great god of Heiner Baichuan in the Longyin team, both the Chenguang team and the Miracle team are preparing for the next game with a desperate mentality. All opponents have to work hard, and Liu Chuan and the others will definitely be under more pressure, especially in terms of the mentality of the players. Liu Chuan is very worried that several newcomers will perform abnormally in the game, and he has been encouraging and enlightening them these days.
Saturday arrived soon. All the members of the Longyin team came to the game together by car. The audience of this game was not as large as Longyin VS Canglan, but they also sat in most of the venue. There was a deafening cheer, and many people held fluorescent signs with the ID of "Hainan Baichuan" written on it. Obviously, most of the fans who came to watch the game were Chuanshen fans who came to cheer him on.
With a smile, Liu Chuan led the team into the soundproof room and changed the mouse and keyboard.
Xu Ce and Jiang Shaoqing didn't have to play today. They sat on the bench together. There was an empty seat between the two of them. It felt awkward, but no one paid attention to these details. Everyone's attention was on the computer screen in front of them. .
The game started soon, and the 12 characters of the players on both sides were loaded into the game channel established by the referee in turn.
The people of the Chenguang team were surprised when they saw the lineup on the opposite side - why did it change again? Who is this sycamore tree? !
When playing in the South China Division, Longyin was the Mingjiao assassin, Wudang support, Xiaoyao and Tangmen output. Today, it is actually the Beggar Gang playing the No. 1 position, Tangmen and Wudu outputting, and Xiaoyao went to play support... The people of the Chenguang team suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts, the previous targeted tactical research was really wasted!
However, seeing that there was actually a female player sitting in the No. 1 position opposite, the captain of the Chenguang team immediately ordered: "The No. 1 opposite is a girl, I haven't seen her play before, I guess her level is much lower than that of Chuan Shen and the others. I'll find an opportunity to catch her over later, and talk to her first!"
Female players are rare in the competitive field, and the average level of female players in e-sports is indeed not as good as that of male players. The opposite side obviously saw this unfamiliar ID and thought she was temporarily replaced by Longyin team to make up the number - but I don't know, Lin Tong But Qin Ye personally brought out the players!
Liu Chuan smiled and said, "Lin Tong, they're going to arrest you later, are you nervous?"
Lin Tong took a deep breath and said, "Don't be nervous!"
Liu Chuan explained: "Li wants to pay attention to protection, we still use the tactic of three-three-point push to win the first game first!"
After the equipment and attributes are adjusted, enter the map selection stage.
Today, Longyin team selected the map first, and Liu Chuan chose the map "Crystal Swamp" again.
After entering the map, according to the previous arrangement, Lan Weiran, Li Xiang, and Lin Tong went to the top road together, and Liu Chuan, Wu Zewen and Yu Xiangyang went to the bottom road together. No matter which team encountered the opposite, the primary goal was to hold the other party down and let them go. The other team takes down the flag first, and if the opposite happens to split, then start the fight!
The three of Lan Weiran walked to the dividing line in the center of the map together. Li Xiang and Lin Tong walked in front of the lights to set up the field of vision, and put a light on the left and right. As soon as they illuminated the dark area nearby, they found six people on the opposite side. It's so close!
Obviously, the captain of the Chenguang team is ready to "take a flag if you can", because the map of "Fright Swamp" is very beneficial to the Longyin team, they choose to hold a group and fight for a flag first. Also understandable. However, Lan Weiran is not easy to provoke. Losing the flag while choosing a map by himself is equivalent to actively giving points to the opponent. In the loser's group where life and death are at stake, he will never allow this to happen!
