The Strongest God

It was in Shanghai that he lost to China for the fourth time, and it was also here that he bid farewell to his beloved father. As the saying goes, Lan Weiran always looks relaxed and lazy, but he will also be sad, depressed, and even collapse. At that time, perhaps only Ye Chenxi saw Lan Weiran's emotional breakdown in the hospital corridor.

Thinking of that scene back then, Ye Chenxi couldn't help but shook his hand distressedly and said: Don't think too much.

Lan Weiran was slightly startled by the warmth coming from the back of his hand. He pulled his hand back uncomfortably and said, I don't have time to think too much. Every time I return to Shanghai, I think of my father and feel uncomfortable.

Ye Chenxi turned around and said: Is it because the knot in your heart has not been completely untied?

... Lan Weiran remained silent.

Ye Chenxi said softly: Don't dwell on the past anymore. Although you lost to China in a crucial game, aren't you back now? Liu Chuan also said in today's interview that Team Longyin is a new beginning for you. Now that you have decided to start over, let's simply let go of the baggage of the past.

Lan Weiran smiled slightly and said: When did you become so good at talking? I remember that you used to be very introverted, always hiding in the corner and looking at me timidly, for fear that I would bully you. Why are you opening your mouth to comfort me now?

Ye Chenxi smiled and said: I have been practicing as a captain in the past few years. In fact, I am not very good at comforting others, which made Master laugh.

Facing his apprentice's gentle gaze, Lan Weiran's heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked away.

In fact, he didn't need verbal comfort, but Ye Chenxi knew everything about his past, so he didn't have to pretend to be himself in front of Ye Chenxi. He would feel much more relaxed when he spoke out what was in his heart.

Lan Weiran took a deep breath and looked at the rapidly receding trees outside the window.

Ye Chenxi paused and then said: This year's competition system reform, all playoff games will be held in the host city. If the Longyin team enters the playoffs, you will have to play many games in Shanghai.

The host city of the 13th season happened to be Shanghai. For the convenience of live broadcast of the game, as well as considerations of ticket revenue and ratings, the league modified the rules of the playoffs. In previous years, the playoffs were directly played in the knockout rounds, with both teams flying home and away. Last year, this year's playoffs were divided into two groups and a double-elimination tournament, and all teams gathered in the same arena - the largest e-sports venue in Shanghai where the opening ceremony was held.

In this way, the top eight teams in the playoffs will compete in the Shanghai arena, which also saves the players from the fatigue of flying back and forth.

Lan Weiran looked back: Of course I know this, but it's not certain whether Longyin Team can make it to the playoffs.

Ye Chenxi said firmly: It will definitely work, I have great confidence in you.

Lan Weiran couldn't help but smile.

In fact, he is also very confident in Longyin Team. Currently, Longyin Team is still fifth in the standings. If this momentum continues, Longyin Team will not have much problem entering the playoffs.

However, things are unpredictable and now is not the time to relax.

It was already half past seven when the two of them arrived at the airport. Ye Chenxi walked Master to the door and said with a smile: Don't worry, I will tell you in time if anything happens here in Shanghai.

Lan Weiran said: Well, bye.

Just as he turned to leave, Ye Chenxi suddenly stretched out his hands, hugged him gently and said: Goodbye.

Lan Weiran:...

Isn’t this the wrong way to hug someone goodbye?

But facing the sincere and innocent look of the young man in front of him, Lan Weiran didn't say much. He lightly patted his apprentice on the shoulder, then turned around and went into the airport to check in with the suitcase in hand.

Ye Chenxi has been watching his back gradually go away.

——Master, maybe you haven’t noticed that in your heart, the apprentice Ye Chenxi is also special.

——He walked with you through the most difficult moments of the year. He saw you collapse in the hospital. He remembered all your preferences and habits, so in front of him, you could not help but relax and talk a lot. Don't tell others what's on your mind.

——He is the person who loves you the most and understands you best in the world.

——So, if one day he confesses to you, can you give him a chance to stay with you?

Ye Chenxi looked at Lan Weiran's back, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corners of his lips.

Lan Weiran was obviously a little surprised by the hug just now, but he did not push him away or show any disgust. Although the way of hugging each other goodbye was a bit abrupt, the distance between the two people was unknowingly narrowed by this intimate gesture.

Maybe, there is really hope for him to get into his heart?

Keep up the good work, Ye Chenxi!

***

After Lan Weiran entered the security check, he discovered that a group of people from the Longyin Team were sitting in a row at the boarding gate, which looked quite spectacular.

Of course, this would inevitably attract crowds of spectators. No one was wearing team uniforms, but in casual clothes - Lin Tong and Jiang Xue.

The girls are still good friends, wearing clothes of the same brand and the same color, with their heads together and browsing Weibo on their mobile phones; Liu Chuan and Qin Ye were discussing something seriously, obviously related to the next game; Wu Zewen Holding an iPad and studying videos seriously; Li Xiang and Xiao Yu were playing games on their mobile phones; Xu Ce wore sunglasses and sat there coolly with his eyes closed to relax; Jiang Shaoqing lowered his head and concentrated on reading a magazine.

This scene made Lan Weiran couldn't help but smile knowingly - everyone in the Longyin team felt particularly friendly in their eyes. Probably because he had been with everyone for a long time, he also had a strong feeling for this team. sense of belonging.

Seeing Lan Weiran coming over, Xiao Yu immediately took away the bag from the seat next to him and said, Come on, deputy team leader, I'll save a seat for you!

Lan Weiran walked over and sat down, smiled and touched his head and said: He's so good.

Yu Xiangyang's eyes widened and he said, Can you please stop touching my head all the time? I'm not JOJO, I'm afraid I won't grow taller.

Lan Weiran said: It doesn't matter, you are at least 1 centimeter taller than Lu Xiang, and Lu Xiang has stopped growing, so you still have room to grow.

Yu Xiangyang:...

The Deer God is only 168 centimeters. Is there anything to be happy about being 1 centimeter taller than the shortest Deer God in the league?

Yu Xiangyang was a little depressed, feeling that he would definitely not grow taller in the future. In the Longyin Team, he was at the bottom in terms of age, IQ, and height. Even two girls, Lin Tong and Jiang Xue, could look down on him even if they were wearing high heels. I can't happily add blood to them anymore!

Lu Xiang, who was lying down and shot, was at Qingdao Airport at this time. He sneezed loudly for no reason, rubbed his nose, then picked up his mobile phone and sent a text message to Liu Chuan: Master, who will you play against Qixingcao next? command?

Liu Chuan replied: Guess:)

Looking at the smiling face that deserved a beating, Lu Xiang said depressedly: Forget it if you don’t say it!

After a pause, he quickly typed a line and sent it: Today we played Qixingcao to a score of 2:7. Lao Xiao is really fierce. By the way, Lun Shen's apprentice Xue Ke and Lao Xiao's apprentice Chen Xiaobei, these two little guys are also making rapid progress. You should be careful in the next game.

Lu Xiang himself is less than twenty years old, and it is really funny to say that Xue Ke and Chen Xiaobei are little guys, and to act like they are seniors.

Liu Chuan couldn't help being mean and replied with a text message to stimulate his apprentice: Xue Ke and Chen Xiaobei seem to be taller than you:)

Lu Xiang:...

Liu Chuan's knowing blow caused fatal damage to Lu Xiang!

As the only tragic man among all the male players in the league who is less than 1.7 meters tall, Xiao Luxiang raised his head and glanced at his teammates who were all taller than him, especially Team Shao who was 20cm taller than him. Finally, he felt like crying without tears. He took back the phone.

Seeing the depressed look on his face, Shao Zehang knew that he had hit a snag with his master again. He couldn't help but rub his hair and said: Don't go looking for Liu Chuan when you have nothing to do. You know he likes to bully you the most. .

Lu Xiang said depressedly: I will never send him text messages again, cursing him to hit Qixingcao and score 0:9!

Just after he was angry with his apprentice, Liu Chuan's mobile phone received another text message. He originally thought it was a curse from Xiaolu, but when he opened it, he found that the sender's name was actually Xiao Huang, and the content of the text message was also simple and crisp. One word: Who directs?

Liu Chuan smiled and said: Your Majesty, whoever you say is who.

Xiao Huang said: That’s you.

Liu Chuan said: I obey the decree.

Xiao Huang said: Very good, wait until I nüè you.

When Liu Chuan saved the numbers in his mobile phone, he gave everyone nicknames for easy identification. For example, Xiao Sijing was called Xiao Huang, Su Shilun was called Queen of Wheels, Tang Yufeng was called Ice Cream Emperor, and Yang Jian was called Little Jianjian. Liang Haibin was called Wu Guiliang, Ye Chenxi was called Ye Jingxin, Zhang Shuping was called Long-winded Explanation, Xiaolu Xiang was called stupid foodie, Si Lan was called lazy as hell...

If these people saw the naming method of Liu Chuan's mobile phone address book, they would probably join forces and beat him to death.

——Liu Chuan’s ability to attract hatred is simply innate.

Wu Zewen, who was sitting next to him, happened to see this text message and couldn't help but ask: Who is Xiao Huang? Xiao Sijing?

Liu Chuan nodded: Well, he sent me a text message asking me who will direct the next game.

Wu Zewen came over to take a look out of curiosity and discovered Liu Chuan's strange address book. After being speechless for a long time, he took Liu Chuan's mobile phone and said: Show it to me.

When I opened the address book, I saw that the first group was: my dad, my mom, my sister, and my top student.

Seeing that his number was placed in his favorite address book, lined up with his family, Wu Zewen's ears turned slightly red, and he even felt that his phone was a little hot, and he almost dropped it.
