(4) Confession
When he learned that Lan Weiran had returned to the league and set up a new team with Liu Chuan, although Ye Chenxi was very disappointed because his master did not return to Luo Huaci, he felt very fortunate from another angle. In fact, he should thank Liu Chuan, If Liu Chuan hadn't had the cheek to persuade Lan Weiran to come back, maybe he would never have the chance to meet his master again.
As long as Lan Weiran is still here, he still has hope.
In the thirteenth season, Ye Chenxi lost to Master in the semi-finals, and he was convinced. Long Yin deserved the championship in the thirteenth season, and Lan Weiran, who won the championship for the first time, finally fulfilled his dream after many years.
However, before he could rush to invite Master to dinner to celebrate, the Dragon Yin team hurriedly returned to Changsha under the leadership of Liu Chuan for a fan meeting the day after the award ceremony, and then had to prepare for the TGA Summer Grand Prix. Ye Chenxi didn't know the exact time of the holiday.
This year's TGA Luohuaci and Qixingcao did not participate. Ye Chenxi did not sign up mainly because he wanted to use this time to run in the six happy pure output lineups and prepare for the next season. As the captain, once he is busy with a lot of things, he can't take care of it, but he still pays attention to the TGA Grand Prix every day, especially the events where the Dragon Yin team plays. He will also watch the live broadcast.
The Longyin team took turns to fight with three outstanding newcomers Xu Ce, Wu Zewen and Lin Tong, and this year's TGA actually won a gold medal again. At the award ceremony, Silan smiled happily while holding the trophy. Ye Chenxi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he saw his smile. He was happy for Master from the bottom of his heart. After so many years of hard work and hard work, today's The harvest is also what Blue deserves.
After the game, Ye Chenxi called Lan Weiran and said, "Congratulations, Master, another gold medal."
Lan Weiran said with a smile: "Thank you. The two strong teams did not participate in this session. This gold medal seems to be picked up."
This sentence is not polite. Hu Bin of Luohuaci has reached the level of Ye Chenxi at a young age, and the level of Chen Xiaobei and Xue Ke on the Qixingcao side is not inferior to Xu Ce and others. If these two A team participating in Longyin really does not necessarily win the championship. However, there are reasons for Lao Xiao and Team Ye not to participate. This kind of comprehensive competition is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It only plays in the ring, not teamfights, and the prize money is not much. Many captains are not willing to travel all the way. If they encounter a tactical reorganization period, they do not participate. Also excusable.
Liu Chuan decided to participate purely because he wanted to give Wu Zewen and the others more opportunities to practice their skills. TGA stipulated that only new players within 2 years of their debut can participate. For such a lazy person, the feeling of lying down and winning a championship is really great.
Ye Chenxi changed the subject and said, "When is your team on vacation?"
Lan Weiran said: "Tomorrow is officially a holiday."
"Any plans for the vacation?"
"No plans, just stay at home." Lan Weiran said confidently.
Ye Chenxi couldn't help laughing, staying at home is indeed more in line with Silan's personality. He's so lazy, he definitely doesn't want to travel all the way by plane, how tiring it is to walk around, it's easier and more relaxing to lie in bed to catch up on sleep, play games, watch movies, etc.
"Are you going to stay at home for a month?" Ye Chenxi asked.
"Well, now the weather is so hot, it's best to blow the air conditioner at home." Lan Weiran's reason for being lazy is always good.
Ye Chenxi smiled: "That's right."
He originally wanted to ask Lan Weiran to go see the sea together, but now it seems that Lan Weiran doesn't want to go out at all, Ye Chenxi didn't mention this, and directly refunded the ticket online.
***
The next day, the members of the Longyin team disbanded directly in Shanghai and went back to their homes, and the other teams also all had a holiday. Ye Chenxi intuitioned that Lan Wei would go to the cemetery to see his father, so he also drove to the cemetery.
When he arrived at the cemetery, it was raining lightly, and Ye Chenxi saw a man in a light blue shirt standing in front of the tomb, holding a golden trophy in his hand, and his lips moved as if he was talking what. He didn't bring an umbrella, and he didn't even notice that he was wet all over. Ye Chenxi wanted to go up to help him hold an umbrella, but seeing that his expression was focused, Ye Chenxi stopped and didn't bother him.
He must have a lot to say to his father, and Ye Chenxi didn't want to destroy this rare tranquility.
After a while, Lan Weiran seemed to have finished speaking, and turned to leave, when he turned around, he saw Ye Chenxi holding an umbrella and looking at him not far away.
The two looked at each other, Ye Chenxi immediately walked to him quickly, put the umbrella on top of his head, and said softly, "You forgot to bring your umbrella again?"
Lan Weiran smiled and said, "It was sunny when I came out in the morning, I didn't expect it to rain."
He used to not bring an umbrella, and he used to do the same when he was in Luo Huaci. Every time he went out, he only brought his wallet and mobile phone. He was relaxed and walked very casually.
The young man before the meeting looked at him tenderly, Lan Weiran looked away in embarrassment and asked, "Why did you come here?"
Ye Chenxi possessed herself and put down a bunch of flowers in front of the tombstone, and said, "Luohuaci is also on holiday today. I thought about coming to see my uncle, and I happened to meet you."
"Oh..." Lan Weiran paused, "I heard from my mother that you often visited him before?"
"Yeah." Ye Chenxi admitted this bluntly. After all, before Lan Weiran's father died, he often went to the hospital to see him. Although he did not have any blood relationship, Ye Chenxi respected that elder as much as his own. Father.
After putting the flower down, Ye Chenxi straightened up, looked back at Lan Weiran, and asked, "Does my heart feel a lot easier after winning the championship?"
Lan Weiran smiled and said, "Yeah, I also brought the trophy to show my dad today."
Ye Chenxi didn't tell him, in fact, after Luo Huaci won the trophy, he had already brought the trophy to see his uncle. If his uncle was alive in the sky, he would definitely be happy for them, the champion of Luo Huaci, and the champion of Silan , they finally have no regrets.
Seeing Lan Weiran's relaxed smile, Ye Chenxi couldn't help reaching out to help him lightly trim his messy hair from the rain, and said softly, "Go back, the rain is getting heavier and heavier."
Lan Weiran nodded and left the cemetery with Ye Chenxi.
Ye Chenxi came by car, and Lan Weiran took a taxi to the cemetery that was too lazy to drive by himself. Ye Chenxi just happened to take him home logically.
After getting in the car, worried that he might catch a cold, Ye Chenxi brought a new towel from the back seat and asked him to wipe his hair first.
As a result, Lan Weiran was "indiscriminate". After wiping his hair, he took off his shirt three or two times. It was very uncomfortable for the clothes to stick to his body. He took off his obstructing shirt, dried his body with a towel, and then turned around and asked Ye Chenxi, "Is there a blanket?"
Ye Chenxi: "..."
Although both of them are men, the apprentice next to him has had a crush on him for many years. It is really big for him to take off his clothes like this... But this also proves that Lan Weiran trusts Ye Chenxi very much in his heart, probably he feels that he is with the apprentice. It doesn't matter if you take a bath together in a hot spring.
Ye Chenxi glanced at him with a smile, and found a blanket from the back seat and handed it to him: "Cover it, be careful of catching a cold."
Lan Weiran covered the blanket with peace of mind, leaned on the seat and said, "I woke up too early this morning and didn't get enough sleep. I'll make up for a nap first, and call me when you arrive."
"Understood, go to sleep."
Ye Chenxi started the car, and it didn't take long for Lan Weiran to fall asleep. Ye Chenxi stopped the car at the intersection, helped him adjust the seat, covered the blanket, and looked at his quiet profile, Ye Chen said. A hint of tenderness gradually appeared in Xi's eyes.
In the fourth season of that year, Lan Weiran often suffered from insomnia and woke up with thick dark circles under his eyes every morning. In Ye Chenxi's impression, he had not slept so peacefully for a long time. In fact, Lan Weiran's father is right. Lan Weiran seems to be lazy, but he is extremely stubborn in his bones. He is very strict with himself. Now that he has finally won the championship, he is probably relieved.
Seeing him fall asleep defenselessly, Ye Chenxi's throat became dry for a while, and she even had the urge to kiss him.
Lan Weiran has no idea how tempting it is to take off his shirt and wrap himself in a blanket and fall asleep, especially for Ye Chenxi who has been depressed for many years...
However, as a driver, Ye Chenxi still forcibly suppressed this desire and drove the car safely to Lan Weiran's house, which shook him awake.
***
Ye Chenxi had been to Lan Weiran's house before, but when she revisited this time, the furnishings in the house didn't change much.
Mom wasn't at home, so Lan Weiran said, "You can take a seat. I'll take a bath first and cook later."
As a result, when Lan Weiran came out of the shower, Ye Chenxi was already standing in the kitchen wearing an apron.
Lan Weiran leaned against the door to look at him curiously: "You are conscious, and you took the initiative to cook?"
Ye Chenxi smiled: "Well, if I don't cook, you will definitely cook me clear soup noodles again."
Lan Weiran said: "Actually, the noodles in clear soup are also quite good. If you are vegetarian, you can also clean up your stomach."
He can always find an upright reason for being lazy. As for the clear soup noodles he cooks... During the vacation period when he didn't go home to stay in Shanghai, he took 16-year-old Ye Chenxi for a vacation, and once called Ye Chenxi to come At home, Ye Chenxi was fortunate to try the clear soup noodles made by his master, and he remembered it in his heart after eating it once.
The next package of dried noodles, put some salt, and cut a few green vegetables to make the clear soup noodles made by Lan Weiran, and the salt was so little that it was almost tasteless. Even Lan Weiran can eat it with relish, Ye Chenxi also admire.
The standard of living of lazy people is very low, and the attributes of Silan are just like lazy cats. In fact, they are very easy to support. As long as you give him something to eat, let him eat and sleep enough, he will be very happy.
Thinking of this, Ye Chenxi couldn't help laughing. She looked back at Lan Weiran and said, "Let me fry the steak for you. Is the steak still medium rare?"
"Any steak?" Lan Weiran walked into the kitchen and said in surprise, "So many dishes... Did you just go downstairs to buy it?"
"Well, there is nothing to eat in the refrigerator." Lan Weiran's mother is rarely at home, not to mention Lan Weiran's cooking skills, and it is normal that there is no food in the refrigerator. Marven Ye went downstairs to buy some vegetables while Lan Weiran was taking a bath.
Marven Ye's cooking skills are very good. He used to be independent since he was a child. He often cooks and eats by himself, and has also studied many recipes.
When the fragrant steak was on the table, Lan Weiran, who was starving, immediately started, squinting his eyes with enjoyment and eating it all. Although the lazy worm is very good to feed, a bowl of clear soup noodles can also be full, but it is delicious. No one can think of too much food. Ye Chenxi's fried steak is even more delicious than what Lan Weiran eats in an authentic western restaurant abroad. Lan Weiran felt that one serving was not enough, so he couldn't help eating two more servings.
"I just found out that your cooking skills are so good. After you retire, you can consider opening a restaurant." After Lan Weiran was full, he wiped his mouth and looked up at him.
"If you like it, I'll make it for you another day." Ye Chenxi said with a smile.
He didn't tell him that this was what he learned specifically for him. Lan Weiran's favorite food is steak. He used to eat two plates at a time in the restaurant. After Lan Weiran left, Ye Chenxi found a lot on the Internet. The method of making steak has been tested several times before the taste that Lan Weiran likes the most.
—If you want, in fact, I can be your chef for the rest of my life.
Looking at Lan Weiran's relaxed look, Ye Chenxi still didn't say those words.
He didn't want to spoil this rare and warm moment, and he didn't want to put any pressure on Lan Weiran. It's also good to get along with the relationship between master and apprentice naturally. Ye Chenxi is not in a hurry. He has been waiting for a long time, and he doesn't care about waiting a few more days.
***
That offseason, Lan Weiran really stayed at home for a whole month.
Ye Chen hoped that the Luohuaci team in Shanghai had to deal with some things, mainly the renewal of contracts for many members of the team and contract endorsements. Now he is very mature as the captain, and he can handle these matters with ease.
When he was free, Ye Chenxi would come to Lan Weiran's house and cook for Lan Weiran himself. Like ribs, beef, etc. Lan Weiran likes to eat, Ye Chenxi will be very considerate to make more and store them in the refrigerator, so that when Lan Weiran is lazy, he can directly put it in the microwave and eat it hot.
Lan Weiran stayed at home to play games and watch movies. He watched all the movies released this year, focusing on detectives and science fiction. Qin Ye was probably going to be depressed—because the scope of Lan Weiran’s spoilers was too wide. doubled.
The strange thing is that when Ye Chenxi didn't come, Lan Weiran actually missed it.
Probably because his appetite was raised, Xiaoye didn't come to cook for him, and he couldn't eat the noodles he ordered himself - as expected, it was easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it was difficult to change from luxury to frugality.
So Lan Weiran thought of a way to order take-out. Ye Chenxi came and found a bunch of take-out phones on his table. He thought that the take-out was not nutritious and unsanitary, so he increased the frequency of cooking for Master. Lan Weiran said that Long Delighted.
As a result, when the fourteenth season started, Lan Weiran actually gained 5 pounds.
When he returned to Changsha, Qin Ye said sharply, "Silan, do you eat meat every day? You've been fattened in one holiday?"
Liu Chuan also looked at him carefully: "It's really fat."
The fat Silan was molested by the onlookers, Xiaoyu even dared to touch his chin, but Silan slapped him back.
In fact, Lan Weiran used to be too thin, but now it's just right - of course this is Ye Chenxi's point of view.
Lan Weiran doesn't care, he has no concept of fat and thin, as long as he is comfortable, unlike many girls who regard thinness as beauty, men are stronger if they have a little flesh.
After arriving in Changsha, he began to eat the meals made by his aunt with the team members, and occasionally missed the taste of Ye Chenxi's cooking. Although the aunt's cooking skills were very good, and the Longyin team's daily meals were also very rich, he still felt Marven Ye's dishes suit his appetite the most.
- At that time, he didn't know that Ye Chenxi was cooking, but it was tailor-made for him.
***
Lin Yufan was moved by Ye Chenxi's patience. When the master didn't come back, he waited silently. When the master came back, he could endure not to confess. The impatient Lin Yufan was anxious for the captain, especially when he saw Lan Weiran In front of Team Ye, Lin Yufan even had the urge to rush up to tell the truth.
Of course, Lin Yufan didn't have the courage to do so, he was just beside him in a hurry - the emperor was not in a hurry to die and the eunuch said he was.
Later, Lin Yufan couldn't bear it anymore, and one time when Captain Ye was in a good mood, he said sideways, "Cough, actually, I think you can say it, Captain Ye, and try it out, such as confessing while you're drunk. , if he doesn't agree, after dawn you pretend to be drunk and lose your words after drinking."
Ye Chenxi smiled slightly and said, "Do you think he is so easy to deceive?"
Lin Yufan: "..."
"He's very smart, this kind of trick is useless to him." Ye Chenxi said, "I don't want to endure it, but I don't want to be too rash to screw up the relationship. When he left, he deleted my friend directly. If I do it again , he will still do it."
Lan Weiran was able to leave so decisively back then. If his rash confession makes him unacceptable, it is very likely that he will disappear again.
Ye Chenxi didn't want to do such an uncertain thing - Silan was the person he cherished the most, and he just wanted Silan to accept him willingly and without pressure.
Lin Yufan couldn't help but ask, "Then how long do you want to wait? It's not the way to wait like this..."
Ye Chenxi said, "At least wait until he retires."
***
As many people expected, after the fourteenth season, the three gods of Longyin announced their retirement together. In fact, Lan Weiran, Liu Chuan and Qin Ye had insisted on it for so long, and it was almost time to leave. Before leaving, they had done everything well. When handing over the work, Liu Chuan handed over the captain to Wu Zewen, who directed the game, and the vice-captain to the enthusiastic and cheerful Li Xiang, which was convenient for handling the team's diplomacy and dealing with media reporters.
After 14 seasons of training, Wu Zewen has absorbed the essence of the three great commanders. The IQ-crushing command style of Xueba will definitely become a bright spot in the future competition. In addition, Longyin has discovered many newcomers from online games. The three great gods were also very relieved when they left.
Liu Chuan completely went behind the scenes. While he was the boss of the Longyin team, he also served as the executive director of the e-sports league. He also became the first example of a successful transformation from an e-sports professional player to the club's backstage manager. Lan Weiran We know that with Liu Chuan's ability, the scale of the Longyin Club will definitely expand.
Qin Ye was reluctant to leave Long Yin, and after the joint efforts of Li Xiang and Liu Chuan, he decided to stay in the team as a coach. With him around, Lan Weiran felt even more at ease.
So, Lan Weiran, who likes to be lazy, ran back to Harbin to teach at the original school.
He picked up his drawing board again, wrote and painted every day, and lived a very leisurely life - Liu Chuan also said that this is the most suitable life for the four blue slackers, so when Lan Weiran made the decision to go back to be a university teacher Liu Chuan didn't persuade him either, to walk for a while, win a championship and then run away, this is Lan Weiran's style.
The course arrangement in the university is relatively easy, only a few classes are required per week, and the rest of the time is free to control. Lan Weiran's life is very relaxed, but occasionally he receives anonymous emails from some students: "The teacher teaches Let me play Xiaoyao, I'm your brainless fan!" "Teacher, how should the combination of Changfengxuexue and Luoying's colorful combo skills be used? I always put it crooked." "Teacher, you look familiar, it's Long Yin. Is the team's former vice-captain Si Lan?"
Every time I see such an email, Lan Weiran can't help but smile.
Although he left the league, the experience of working hard with his teammates is Lan Weiran's most precious memory.
On March 1, Lan Weiran was in class when suddenly a man walked in from the back door. The man was wearing a long black trench coat and his hair was meticulously combed. He went to the last row and sat down to listen to the class. A group of students looked back at him curiously. The man was very young. , handsome, with a gentle smile on his face, a smile directly kills a group of people.
The students who followed the martial arts league were even more excited and broke their pencils in the drawer—Oh my God! This is the leaf team of Luohuaci!
- Found Team Ye x 1 on the Harbin campus, Team Ye came to the school to see Master!
A student secretly posted such a Weibo, which was instantly reposted by over 10,000 people, and many people were begging to see Master's photo.
Lan Weiran saw Ye Chenxi in the corner, but he ignored him and continued to concentrate on class. It wasn't until after class that Lan Weiran said, "The student in the back row, come with me."
In the roar of a group of students, Ye Chenxi smiled and went out with Teacher Lan to accept criticism.
Lan Weiran brought his apprentice to the office, poured him a cup of coffee, and then turned around and said, "Why do you run to school to see me? Do you think you're not popular enough? There are many of your idiots in our class."
Ye Chenxi said: "It's just a vacation today, so I just want to come to the school to see you... Didn't I cause you any trouble?"
Lan Weiran smiled and said, "It's okay."
Ye Chenxi said, "You used to call me every time you were drunk to talk about the use of color, but today I finally listened to the full version."
"..." Lan Weiran was a little embarrassed, "I'll call you next time, just don't pick it up."
Ye Chenxi smiled and said, "I'll answer your call anytime."
Facing his gentle gaze, Lan Weiran's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
In fact, after not seeing him for a while, Lan Weiran also thought about this caring apprentice. Although he had phone and QQ contacts with many people after leaving the alliance, Ye Chenxi was the first person to come to the school to see him in person. .
This kind of strange intimacy made Lan Weiran unable to help reach out and stroked Ye Chenxi's hair naturally. When he raised his arm, he suddenly realized that the man in front of him was no longer the little Ye he used to be.
"It's been a while, you seem to have grown taller again?" Lan Weiran retracted his hand, looked up at him and said, "A few centimeters taller than me."
Ye Chenxi smiled and said, "Actually, I haven't grown tall for a long time. You think so, probably because in your impression, I have always been the little apprentice who was shorter than you back then."
Lan Weiran touched his chin and smiled: "Yes."
In the past, he could naturally put his hand on the top of the boy's head and gently touch the boy's head to express the master's encouragement to the apprentice, but now, it is a bit awkward for him to do this, Ye Chenxi is taller than him No wonder they've been separated for so long.
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and then Ye Chenxi took out a large, delicately packaged box from his pocket and said, "Master, happy birthday."
Lan Weiran was stunned for a moment, then remembered that today was his birthday, and couldn't help saying: "I thought you were leading the team to watch me in the game... You didn't come to Harbin because of this, did you?"
"Well," Ye Chenxi said with a smile, "I've never had a birthday with you. I just took a vacation today, so I came here on an early morning plane."
Lan Weiran: "..."
In fact, he doesn't like birthdays. It's too troublesome to buy cakes and eat cakes. He hates trouble the most, so he hasn't had a birthday for a long time these years, but Ye Chenxi came here specially, and Lan Weiran decided to invite him to a meal.
The two had a Western meal together, and Ye Chenxi hurried back to the airport.
Lan Weiran said: "You came here by plane just to celebrate my birthday. This is too extravagant... The team is very busy, right? As far as I know, the new season has started again."
Ye Chenxi said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, with Vice Team Lin here, Hu Bin will also help manage the team's affairs. If I leave for a day, there will be no problem with Luo Huaci."
Lan Weiran looked at him helplessly and said, "I'll take you to the airport."
From Lan Weiran's point of view, Ye Chenxi is really rich and self-willed, and he flew all the way here just to give him a birthday, which is actually not necessary at all.
However, when he sent his apprentice to the security check at the airport, Lan Weiran was inexplicably reluctant. He even thought he could stay for a few more days. He could take him around the city by the way, and usually lead the team to play games. , In fact, the captains of many teams are not familiar with the away city at all.
Lan Weiran has been watching Ye Chenxi's back go away.
As if having a consonance, Ye Chenxi suddenly turned around and hugged Lan Weiran gently.
Lan Weiran was stunned and said, "Enter the security check."
Ye Chenxi was silent for a moment before whispering, "Master, have we known each other for six years?"
Lan Weiran said: "Well, it seems to have been six years."
Ye Chenxi smiled slightly, tightened her arms gently, and said, "Remember to unwrap the gift when you go back, I'll go first."
"Um… "
After watching him leave, Lan Weiran became curious and opened the gift on the spot.
There is actually a small box and a handwritten greeting card in the big box with exquisite packaging.
"I have never dared to tell you something. We have known each other for six years, and I have also had a crush on you for six years. In my heart, you are not only my most respected master, but also the person I want to cherish the most.
I like you, Lan Weiran.
I didn't confess to you in front of you because I was afraid that you would be embarrassed and disgusted. I didn't want to see you showing disgust.
There is a pair of rings in this box, which is what I most want to give you. If you want, please give me a chance and let me stay by your side.
- Ye Chenxi. "
This good apprentice is so considerate and gentle even when he confesses.
He didn't say these words in person to embarrass Lan Weiran, but gave Lan Weiran a very free choice. Whether to open the box or not to wear the ring depends entirely on Lan Weiran.
Looking at the small box in front of him, Lan Weiran felt that the thing in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold.
It's not just a pair of rings, but a person who has liked him for six years since he was young, and his determination to accompany him for the rest of his life.
