"When you say 'interest', you mean I like men, right?"
Duan Wenzheng's words made Xue Lan gasp.
Of course he knew... Duan Wenzheng's orientation.
But he never expected that Duan Wenzhen would speak out his sexual orientation at this time without caring about others, as if he was saying "I like peaches" or "I don't like pears" as casually as if he was saying "I like peaches" or "I don't like pears".
Wen Yan was even more shocked. His face, which was usually cold and emotionless, was now gradually turning blue and black.
Xue Lan then realized that although the plot has changed, according to the changes in the plot, the two biggest contradictions when Duan Wenzheng and Wen Yan first met were: "Wen Yan's love for e-sports and Duan Wenzheng's carelessness" and "Duan Wenzheng does not shy away from the fact that he likes men, while Wen Yan does not want the team members to focus on love."
It is the stalemate of these two contradictions that creates the main CP feeling between two people with opposite personalities.
It is the so-called "you don't want it" and "I want it" that makes many readers unable to stop.
Thinking of this, Xue Lan's eyes suddenly became bright.
"In that case, then you shouldn't tease people who have nothing to do with your interests."
"Oh?" Duan Wenzheng chuckled, "I really hope you stay this straight."
Xue Lan's eyes lit up again. He knew that Wen Yan was just a special teacher who didn't want Duan Wenzheng, who didn't like women, to tease a little girl who might become his teammate...
Moreover, Duan Wenzhen's intriguing words probably indicate that he has already locked on to his target and started to develop an interest in and desire to conquer Wen Yan.
Thinking of Duan Wenzheng's subsequent temptations and teasing, and finally succeeding in turning Wen Yan gay... I ended up being the victim of love. It's really boundless love, so touching!
Xue Lan instantly felt that he was really attracted to this couple!
Thinking of this, the gaze he cast over the two of them became intriguing.
But just when he was enjoying his melon, Duan Wenzheng's gaze suddenly turned to him for some reason. Before Xue Lan could regain the brightness in his eyes, he met his raised eyebrow gaze.
Xue Lan quickly looked away guiltily.
Wen Yan, however, seemed not to want to say another word to him. His disgust towards the two of them reached a new level, and he turned and walked towards the training room.
Xue Lan also stood up upon seeing this: "It's time to start training, let's go."
The training of the "Dawn of Doom" youth training camp is that each student is divided into groups by themselves, and then the groups draw lots to compete.
Xue Lan looked at the team formation information on the wall and fell into deep thought. During the original owner's bumpy journey in the youth training camp, he had offended all the students when he first entered the youth training camp and could not find anyone to form a team with. In the end, he could only reluctantly team up with a few people who were slightly lower in level and could not find a team to form a team with.
And Duan Wenzheng—
Duan Wenzhen, who should have been among the top in the first points race, was now following him bored. He didn't look like the popular guy in the original novel who was surrounded by everyone and asked to form a team.
But it's okay this way.
Xue Lan saw that everyone was chattering about who to team up with, so he quickly took the initiative to look at the people around him.
"Let's form a team!" Xue Lan was full of confidence: "We can definitely win all the points competitions smoothly!"
"Yeah." Duan Wen Zheng leaned against the wall and responded lazily.
Xue Lan was secretly delighted after receiving a positive answer. Although Duan Wenzheng was now at the bottom of the ranking due to the points race, his strength was the most outstanding.
Although everyone has seen Duan Wenzheng's strength in the previous game, personal points affect team points, so few people are willing to take this risk, which is also a good thing for him... At least he doesn't have to fight his way through the crowd to become a teammate with Duan Wenzheng.
But Xue Lan still thought too simply.
He stood beside Duan Wenzheng with great interest, waiting for a teammate with a discerning eye to choose him and Duan Wenzheng as his team. However, until the students formed teams in groups of three or five, no one was interested in him and Duan Wenzheng.
Xue Lan saw a student passing by and hurriedly grabbed the person.
"Want to, do you want to team up together?" He had never taken the initiative to talk to anyone like this before, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
That student happened to be one of the people who had just given snacks to Xue Lan. He glanced at the kindness and expectation on Xue Lan's face, and lowered his head awkwardly: "No, sorry, I want to team up with my friends."
Xue Lan smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay, you guys should also work hard."
"Yes, yes, you too!" Looking at the people coming and going in the training room, it seemed as if everyone ignored the positions of Xue Lan and Duan Wenzhen. He lowered his head guiltily and left quickly.
Xue Lan stared blankly at his back as he ran away, unable to figure out what was going on for a moment.
"Individual points affect team points." Duan Wenzheng casually pointed to the points board next to him and said, "The last and third to last people in points are teaming up. Who else dares to join the team? The second to last person?"
Xue Lan looked up in shock, and sure enough, he saw his own name and Duan Wenzheng's name at the end of the screen.
"… "
"It seems that this team cannot be formed." Duan Wen Zheng looked at the name of the next person on the screen and laughed.
Seeing that there were not many people around him who had not found a team, Xue Lan finally came to his senses from the shock, and hurriedly pulled over three students who had already formed a team and asked again: "Do you want to form a team? One of us is an assault and one is a sniper..."
Several people glanced aside and after much hesitation, someone said, "You two are both very strong, but everyone came to the youth training camp for the dream of joining a professional team. This..."
Xue Lan hurriedly said: "Last time was just an accident, we can win together in the next game..."
"I'm not trying to discourage you, but look at the number one player, he has 137 points." The man said reluctantly, "Let's not talk about whether the top few can team up together, even if they bring a few people with unsatisfactory results, they will at least have more than 400 points, right? But you and your teammates... add up to only 34 points... That's nearly 200 points less than the other teams."
"… "
"I have already posted a blog to clarify that I had a misunderstanding about Reset before. His sniping is indeed very good and he is not cheating." The man continued in embarrassment: "But you also know that the team's performance is very important. In this game, teammates are as important as personal strength..."
"I understand." Xue Lan didn't want to embarrass the other party, so he smiled and said, "I understand."
The three of them left apologetically. Xue Lan seemed a little depressed. He lowered his head secretly and was about to cheer himself up when someone timidly asked, "Can I... join your team?"
Xue Lan's eyes lit up, and he looked up at the boy in front of him. The boy standing in front of him was the one who gave him the first candy.
"sure!!"
While registering the boy's name on the team formation form, he excitedly pulled Duan Wenzheng over and said, "Look, there is still hope!"
Duan Wenzheng glanced at the name he had just written, and turned his gaze back to the high-hanging scoreboard, with a smile on his lips: "OK, the bottom three are all here."
"… "
Upon hearing this, Xue Lan hurriedly looked up at the scoreboard beside him... As expected, the name sandwiched between the two people was the one he had just written down - Su Yiyu.
"This..." Xue Lan smiled awkwardly: "It's okay. Everyone who comes to the youth training camp is an elite player. The gap between the top few and the bottom few is not that big."
"kindness."
Duan Wenzheng clearly agreed with his words, but his smiling look made Xue Lan blush and she quickly looked away.
"Can I join your team?"
The two were interrupted by a voice again while they were talking. Xue Lan thought the voice sounded familiar and raised his head in surprise: "It's you!"
The person who came was actually the medic who had spoken to him when he first entered the club's one-on-one match.
The man smiled with his eyes curved: "Qi Siyu, medic, current score is 129."
Xue Lan was stunned.
He didn't know whether he was surprised that a medic was willing to join a team composed of three people at the bottom of the points list when medics were so scarce, or that this medic was the one with the highest score of 129 points, or whether he was surprised... He remembered Qi Siyu's name.
Qi Siyu, the core medical soldier of the Thunder Team, changed the core tactics of the Thunder Team after Deng Ruiqiu was sold and began to practice the four-protecting-one medical soldier tactics.
Qi Siyu's medical soldiers are very radical and are also rare medical talents.
But perhaps because of his dislike for the Thunder Team, Xue Lan found it difficult to have much good feelings towards the person in front of him.
Qi Siyu seemed to notice the unnaturalness in his expression and gently reminded him. Only then did Xue Lan come back to his senses: "Do you really want to join us? The total score of the three of us is only 40 points."
Qi Siyu nodded: "I trust your operation."
Xue Lan looked at Qi Siyu, who was smiling kindly in front of him, and nodded in gratitude. He felt that he should not be averse to a person who was not emphasized in the original text just because he did not like a team.
He hurriedly wrote Qi Siyu's name on the team information.
Qi Siyu's joining also brought in another high-scoring attacker, Meng Weiran, and the total score of the five people was barely pulled up to 288 points, which was 305 points away from the 593 points of the first-scoring team.
Xue Lan looked at the people staring at the team scoreboard with heavy faces. He was not good at comforting people, but the predicament of the people at the moment was also caused by him. He forced himself to be calm and said:
"Although we are 305 points behind the first team, we are only less than 200 points behind the second team, and the gap with the teams behind us is not much different. It won't be a problem for us to catch up!"
"... Yeah." Qi Siyu forced a smile. He thought for a moment and then said, "You know the rules of the team points competition, right? We can choose to draw a blind team, or we can choose to challenge a team that is 50 points higher than ours. Fortunately, we are the last in the team points, so we can choose the team to challenge first."
"It's really lucky." Duan Wenzheng on the side said.
"Because of the huge gap of 50 points, if we win, according to the rules of the game, we will exchange points with the enemy team."
"What? Swap?!" Su Yiyu exclaimed.
Xue Lan was startled when he heard this, and Duan Wenzheng beside him also put away his distracted look.
In the original story, the youth training camp section is just a few quick descriptions of Duan Wenzhen breaking through the siege and the subtle changes in his relationship with Wen Yan, so he is not clear about the specific rules of this competition.
But if that's the case... then it's a great thing for them.
Qi Siyu continued, "I looked at the information of these teams. There is a team that is 80 points higher than us, but slightly weaker. We can challenge them. If we win, our score will directly become 368..."
Before he could finish his words, Duan Wenzheng suddenly interrupted him: "If we are the first to choose our opponents, then why don't we just challenge the first-place team?"
