When an Alpha is Marked by One of His Own Kind

After she finished smoking a cigarette in Shen Qiao's hand, she pressed the end of the cigarette on the top of the trash can and twisted it to extinguish the sparks, then bent slightly and threw the end of the cigarette into the bin.

He walked to the sink next to him, raised his hand and turned on the faucet, squeezed the hand sanitizer into his palm, washed it inside and out, then tore off the paper towel to wipe it clean, threw it into the wastebasket, turned and walked back.

As soon as I turned around, I met Momo who had already walked nearby.

Shen Qiao nodded at Momo as a greeting, and was about to pass by, seeing that Momo picked up the lighter and "clicked" twice but failed to light it, so he got used to taking out his own from his pocket, lighting it and handing it over.

Momo lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and smiled at him: "I'm in good shape recently. After the practice match last time, we are all waiting for today."

Shen Qiao curled her lips lazily, "There's no need to work so hard, anyway, the result won't change much."

Momo raised his eyebrows, exhaled smoke, and smiled in his eyes: "Don't talk too much, be careful of flashing your teeth-don't cry if you lose the game."

Shen Qiao was noncommittal, and noticed that Lu Zhe was still waiting for her in the distance. After going through the process of throwing harsh words at each other before the match with the old captain, she walked towards Lu Zhe.

……

10 minutes before the game, the stadium in Huacheng was already crowded with people. DG is a rising rookie in recent years, and won the first global trophy for the LPL division. There are definitely a lot of fans.

And BLX is a veteran team. The bottom lane combination of Momo and Lele has been famous in the competition since the S5 season. In the seasons when the ADC was the strongest, BLX was considered the most promising team to win the championship. Unfortunately, they only won in the end. World Championship runner-up.

——But this does not hinder Momo's popularity in LPL at all.

Many old fans in the e-sports circle are fans of Momo, who entrusted to him the feelings of those years when the LPL competition area was struggling. No doubt, as long as Momo is still playing in BLX, those fans will support him to the end.

Momo represents an era.

"Welcome to the LPL Summer Tournament Huacheng site! Let us invite the two teams to face off today! BLX! DG!" The passionate voice of the host continued to echo through the venue's speakers.

"The current results of both teams are consecutive victories! Whose record will be ended today, let us wait and see! First of all, welcome to the members of BLX, the new top laner Xu Xiao, we all know that Xu Xiao is actually a young player in the LPL division. He stayed in the training team for a while, and then went to the LCK (Korean Division) team, but he was recruited back by BLX this year, which shows that he will return to our LPL after all!"

Following the host's introduction, Xu Xiao walked in front of his own seat, smiled politely at the camera and the audience, but unconsciously looked in the direction of the DG players.

He silently read the opponent's name in his mind - Shen Qiao.

Since he lost the practice match with DG last time, he trained himself for three hours every day, and he didn't go to bed until four or five o'clock in the morning every day, in order to defeat Shen Qiao on the field in a fair and honest manner.

Everyone thought that he had just come to BLX, and Shen Qiao's strong style of play created a contrast, so they felt pressured. Except for Lele, who had a good personal relationship with Shen Qiao, everyone else tactfully advised him to take it easy during training. Don't get tired and get down before the game starts.

Only he knows that's not the case.

……

Back then, he and Shen Qiao had been in the same youth training team.

Xu Xiao once heard from a coach at the base that there was a kid who was aggressive in playing games, and his style of play was so desperate that he had to drag an opponent to his back before he died. one.

Xu Xiao quickly remembered this person.

The main reason is that Shen Qiao is so special in the youth training team. He is the first to appear in the training room and the last to leave every day. He seems to be tireless and never gets tired of playing this game. No matter how boring tasks the coach assigns, He can do it as if it's the first time, and it's done to a super high standard.

But outside of the game, he walks alone and hardly interacts with anyone, as if he is a master of the game of LOL, and nothing can get into his eyes. When saying hello, Shen Qiao would stare blankly at him, and it was obvious at a glance that he didn't even remember whether he knew this person or not.

Xu Xiao never put a hot face on his cold butt, he knew why Shen Qiao worked so hard——

At the same time, there were rumors that Shen Qiao was the poor type of family and had no money to study, so before entering the youth training team, she made money by showing people the game in Internet cafes every day, and from time to time, she also took orders for game leveling, and she didn't finish her meal. pause.

Others said that he was an orphan, so no one could take care of him, and he grew up picking up trash, etc.

The rumors may be outrageous, but Xu Xiao believes that his family's situation is not good. After all, he doesn't see Shen Qiao any different during the holidays. Shen Qiao was the only one who came and went.

Xu Xiao's deep impression on Shen Qiao was not just this one thing.

But at that time, he recommended himself to the BLX team, which was in the limelight, and wanted to play a solo position there, but in the end...

In the end BLX signed Shen Qiao away.

When Xu Xiao knew about it, he was actually unconvinced. Although Shen Qiao was indeed very strong, he didn't feel that he was inferior in any way. The only thing that was not as good as Shen Qiao was that he was not as miserable as Shen Qiao.

He was not low-minded. Since the best BLX in China at that time did not want him, then he would not continue to waste time in the LPL competition area. He simply went to the strongest Korean competition area to train himself.

……

Now Xu Xiao is back.

Although he didn't beat DG in the previous practice match, after all, both sides had reservations in their playing style during practice. Today is the day for him to prove himself to BLX.

He wanted to let the BLX executives understand that no matter before or now, he was the most correct choice for BLX, not Shen Qiao.

Xu Xiao was drawn back by the voice from the loudspeaker, and as his teammates entered the competition booth together, the host had already introduced the members of the two teams: "Let's see what wonderful things the two sides will present to us today. -"

Two teams log into the game.

Coach Fang said to the team members through the headset: "Old rules, ban Xia first, don't let them get the Luoxia combination."

The old snail laughed: "Isn't it the old rule to ask the captain to say a few words first?"

Shen Qiao raised her eyelids and glanced to the side, but the old snail was not sitting next to him, he could only see Lu Zhe's side face, and could not kill the troublemaker with his eyes.

Sensing the movement, Lu Zhe turned his head to meet his gaze, the corners of his eyes were dizzy, he smiled for a while before saying anything, and then spoke slowly:

"Jojo—"

Shen Qiao looked at him, and asked in a cold tone: "The old rules before the game have been changed to teasing me?"

Lu Zhe spoiled with a smile, and asked the next sentence: "What do you want to eat after playing?"

Shen Qiao thought that she was going to hear the ravings again, and she was already mentally prepared, but after waiting for a long time, she just waited for such a sentence, and she couldn't recover immediately.

Old Wo: "Hey, I've taken off my trousers, is this all you need?"

Erhua: "Stop playing hooligans."

Qian Bao straightened out some curled earphone cables: "What occasion do you take off your pants? I'll report it."

The voice fell——

The screen entered the B&P link, BLX chose the side first, they chose the red side, and let the DG blue side choose first.

Shen Qiao banned Xia according to what the coach said, and Akali was banned on the opposite side. This version of the assassin hero is too strong, and can be used in both upper and middle positions. BLX's upper middle does not plan to use this hero, and simply does not give it to DG. Keep.

Immediately afterwards, the coaches of the two sides quickly decided on the next two ban heroes, banning Rambo, Lucian, EZ and Spider one after another.

It is still DG who chooses the hero first.

"Lu Zhe take it first, use the blind monk or the prince?" Coach Fang suggested. After all, these two heroes have a lot of displacement, which is suitable for Lu Zhe to support the teammates of the three lanes at any time.

Lu Zhe pondered for two seconds: "I want to take Qiyana. We don't have a lot of pressure on the top and middle lanes, mainly on the bottom lane - BLX relies on Momo's core, and the jungler must first help Momo decide advantage, the bottom lane is close to the Xiaolongkeng, and the probability of team battles is high."

Although the blind monk has a strong ability to control dragons, the probability of hitting multiple teammates at the same time is not high when starting a team in a professional game, so it is not as good as Qiyana's advantage in starting a team in the wild.

Coach Fang nodded, "OK."

During their discussion, the audience in the arena saw the first position of DG on the screen, the hero flashing and flashing, cutting from the blind monk to the prince, and finally to the queen of elements, and it was finally locked.

"After DG took Qiyana, we saw that BLX took MF to play AD in the bottom lane, and the prince played wild."

"As we all know, the combination of MF and Prince's skills and ultimate moves is quite perfect. If you add Galio, you will have a huge advantage in starting a team-it's a pity that Galio is not strong in this version. If the combination of BLX is too pursuit of routines, it will make the Chinese If they only take Galio, then they will face the dilemma of insufficient output.” After all, it is the two stronger teams in the LPL competition, and this time the commentary explained the lineup very well.

Commentary No. [-] is also very cooperative: "Since BLX has MF, the opponent may have to take out Bron, after all, Bron's shield beats MF's big move, sure enough! DG locked Verus Gablon without hesitation. Combination to lay down the road."

at the same time.

DG restrained the selection of the AD hero in the bottom lane, BLX was not to be outdone, and once again won a version of the strong hero, Tetsuo.

This hero's ultimate move is very suitable for targeting the strongest hero in the hostile team battle lineup. As long as you lock yourself and the opponent into the small black room at the same time, the remaining teammates and the dough will have a higher victory rate.

"Ban the Titan again..." Coach Fang communicated with the team members in the headset, discussed with Erhua to get the spring, saw that the other side had confirmed the auxiliary Thresh, and asked casually: "Wolf cub, why don't you get a spring?" Sword Demon?" Their lineup still lacked meat.

Shen Qiao nodded: "OK."

As a result, DG locked the next moment.

The last position of BLX was determined:

sword girl.

"Tsk." Coach Fang made a displeased voice.

There is basically no advantage for Sword Demon and Sword Fairy to fight one-on-one. If Shen Qiao does not perform well this time and is single-killed several times by the opponent to confirm the advantage, then the match will be more difficult.

……

"Our two lineups have been determined - DG has the top laner Sword Demon, the jungler Qiyana, the middle lane clockwork, the bottom lane Verus Gablon, and the BLX has the sword girl, the prince, Tetsuo, MF and Thresh, next, the game begins."

After the anchor announced the lineup, the game screen was loaded on the big screen at the scene.

"Be careful of their first-level regiments." Lu Zhe put on his clothes, and when he went to the wild area, he reminded him in his earphones, and the mouse kept warning in the shadow of the lower half of the wild area on the map.

After hearing this, Lao Wo and Er Hua simply squatted in the grass brushed out by the red buff.

Qian Bao was close to the gathering place on the opposite side, and retreated to his own wild area, Shen Qiao went to the river near the line, Lu Zhe was close to him, first went to the blue buff on the opposite side to make a vision, and then went to Eat red buff.

The anchor's voice sounded in the audience area: "We saw BLX level one and had plans, but it's a pity that DG can't be fooled by them, and they won't go in their direction at all—"

"Yes, but they were also very decisive. They didn't catch anyone and simply returned to the lane. Because of Lu Zhe's vision before, he hit red slower than the prince on the opposite side, and the prince went up the road as soon as he was promoted to level two. Wolf cubs be careful."

"Colonel KI's curve is now out. From the perspective of the lineup, BLX's winning rate in the early stage of the lineup is 52%, and it is 57% in the late stage. It seems that Colonel KI is more optimistic about BLX's lineup, um... If DG loses in the early stage With too many advantages, it will definitely be more difficult to make a comeback in the future, and DG's sword demon on the road... hey, it's really too difficult to line up with Sword Fairy."

In the DG channel.

Lu Zhe judged the opponent's intentions through the location of the prince on the map, and promptly reminded: "Qiao Qiao, pay attention to the line of troops, the prince is gone, I can't catch up."

Shen Qiao let out a "hmm", and after the prince came out from the nearby grass, she stopped paying attention to Jian Ji's intentional operation of selling blood, and simply retreated.

Before the prince handed over his skills, Shen Qiao suddenly pressed Flash with lightning speed——

The sword demon retreated to the first tower position of his side, and the next moment, the prince's forward attack skill hit his original position, completely missing.

Lu Zhe guessed when the prince on the opposite side appeared on the road that the blue in his own wild area should have been eaten. He simply gave up the idea of ​​going to the top road and went directly to control the valley crab in the lower half of the jungle.

In the opening 4 minutes, neither of the two sides had accumulated an obvious advantage, but Shen Qiao was obviously lagging behind in terms of pawns.

Because the sword demon can't get any advantage in the hands of Jian Ji.

Shen Qiao was pushed under the tower by Jian Ji.

He glanced at the map subconsciously, and guessed that the prince was waiting nearby: "They are going to cross the tower."

Lu Zhe frowned, "Hold on, I'll be right there."

He just finished controlling the river valley crab and went back to the city to change his equipment. It will take a while to get to the line, but Shen Qiao is in the first tower on the map, and the tower is full of the opponent's soldiers. If Jian Ji and the prince want to kill, He wasn't sure if Shen Qiao could wait for his support.

as predicted--

As soon as he left the city, Shen Qiao had already started a fight with Ueno on the opposite side. Standing under the tower, he was surrounded from front to back. The prince tried his best to get his head when he was beaten by the tower. Crazy output.

Under the double output of Jian Ji and the prince, Shen Qiao was arrested and sent out the first head.

The prince was beaten into blood by the tower, escaped from the range of the tower, used the green bottle to return blood to blue, and was about to leave, but Lu Zhe had already arrived, so he had to flash away quickly, so that Lu Zhe's skills only captured Jian Ji.

Sword Fairy was far away, even though she was hit, the trace of blood could be recovered immediately, and she happily ran out of the range without even handing in the flash.

Let Lu Zhe not stay alone.

The commentator clapped his hands and exclaimed: "This wave of tower jumping BLX is beautiful!"

The advantages of BLX did not stop there——

Five and a half minutes later, the prince turned against Lu Zhe's wild area and stole the first fire dragon.

Shen Qiao continued to line up with Jian Ji who was still flashing on the road, and the number of knives behind was getting more and more.

……

7 minutes.

BLX planned to train Shen Qiao again, but Lu Zhe, who had already been on guard, noticed that when the opponent's upper middle and wild three went to capture Shen Qiao, they directly took the prince's head from behind.

Shen Qiao carried the skills of three people alone, but was forced to be replaced.

Qian Bao also rushed to the road to support: "I'm here, I'm here!"

The two sides exchanged one for one, and the next two were two for two. BLX's blood volume was not healthy, so it should not be a lot of pressure, but after Qian Bao's big move was handed over, he did not take the head of Tie Nan. Impressed, Lu Zhe's skills were all handed over to the former prince, and the output of the two was generally not enough.

Lu Zhe had no choice but to say, "Go, go back to the tower."

"I...I'm working hard." Qian Bao spoke with difficulty, and fled to the tower to escape, desperately trying to avoid the skills of Jian Ji and Tie Nan, but was pulled back by the opponent at a critical moment, so although Lu Zhe was a little behind, he was The one who managed to escape.

And Qian Bao died in front of the first tower.

This wave of DG and BLX exchanged for one, blood loss.

The situation has developed to this point, Shen Qiao's early disadvantages have expanded a step further, Lu Zhe and Qian Bao's slight lead has also been lost, DG's pressure is concentrated on the bottom lane, but the opposite side is the best bottom lane in the LPL division. The combination of pressure, Lao Wo and Erhua can't take advantage of it.

Even after watching the commentary of the rebroadcast, I couldn't help feeling: "The situation of DG is not good..."

As soon as the words fell, the battle in the canyon broke out again!

Shen Qiao became the target of BLX today, and was surrounded by the river valley on the opposite side. Lu Zhe went up to help again, and even teleported the old snail and Erhua who were going down the road, four to three——

"With Thresh's hook, the wolf cub can't escape, and Lu Zhe's skill hit Thresh, ah Thresh's golden body!"

"DG was shown off by Lele's Thresh! No one can run away!"

"DG was completely wiped out! Oh my god, four fight three, and they can't take BLX's head. BLX is in really good shape today!"

……

From the start of that wave, DG's advantage was pulled away by BLX. Even though there were a few fierce counterattacks in the middle, the crystal was still pushed away by the BLX group after No. 30 minutes.

When the blue crystal exploded, the DG channel was silent.

Coach Fang followed the players to the rest area, and said with a calm face, "This one is because of me. I asked him to take Shen Qiao's Sword Demon, but in the end, Sword Fairy showed off one."

Shen Qiao took off the earphones, and said casually: "It's mine, the sword demon is fine, the main thing is that I still didn't perform well when I was caught."

Lu Zhe didn't smile for the first time, got up and raised his hand to rub his hair, and said in a low voice: "No, it's mine. It's better to take the blind man than Qiyana. Qiyana has short hands. I can hurry up with the blind man's early support." , so that you won’t be beaten by them all the time.”

The old snail picked up his thermos cup and followed up with a low voice: "Actually, it's mine. I didn't expect to see Lele's golden body during the wave of exchange by them. I was deceived by him for a while." Big, otherwise it wouldn’t be that output.”

Qian Bao was silent for a while: "If I also go that wave, maybe it won't be...?"

Erhua held back, and finally said: "It is indeed yours. It was too difficult for me to survive as a support in that wave until the end to face the three of them!" He really tried his best!

As soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Erhua, the team was silent for a while, and Qian Bao laughed first: "Forget it, what am I doing wrong, anyway, I didn't go, so the zero-for-four wave is none of my business. "

The old snail looked towards Coach Fang: "Since it's a problem with the coach's lineup, the coach will take the blame for it. I'll think about how to play against them next time."

The teammates relaxed one by one, Lu Zhe also hooked his lips, but the smile was not as deep as his eyes, and his eyes were chasing Shen Qiao's figure——

Even if Shen Qiao played this one, there was nothing wrong with it.

But Lu Zhe knew that he was very uncomfortable.

……

Outside the rest room, at the corner of the corridor, at the fire escape.

Shen Qiao lit the fire with "click, click" and didn't light a cigarette. She just lowered her head and stared at the flickering light of the lighter, standing there motionless.

Lu Zhe took two steps towards him, but Shen Qiao didn't even raise her head, as if she knew who it was, she said lightly, "I'm fine."

Lu Zhe responded, but said, "Have you finished smoking?"

Shen Qiao paused, and looked up at him. His eye sockets were a little deep, and in a darker place, it seemed to be a shadow of laziness, with an indescribable decadence and sexiness.

"No," he replied, "I don't want to smoke."

Lu Zhe tried to take another two steps in his direction: "Then...do you want to hug me?"

He didn't know why such a question came up, but he subconsciously felt that he didn't want Shen Qiao to stand alone in such a dark place, which made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Shen Qiao heard his words, stood still, but frowned——

Seeing him frowning, Lu Zhe changed his words without thinking: "Okay, don't hug, don't be angry, I'm just joking."

Hearing the compromise in his tone and a little cautious treatment, Shen Qiao not only did not loosen his brows, but tightened them even more. He put away the lighter, took the initiative to take a step towards Lu Zhe, held the lighter and put it in his pocket. Haven't pulled it out yet.

After walking beside Lu Zhe, Shen Qiao suddenly raised her hand and hooked him in her direction.

In the dark, the tip of his nose touched the artery on the side of Lu Zhe's neck, and touched the strong pulse under the skin. The tip of his nose moved up and down, as if he was sniffing the pheromones on his body, or casually teasing him.

Lu Zhe's neck was itchy, but he endured it and didn't move, but his eyesight couldn't work in the dark, and his other senses were more sensitive. Even if he endured it, his throat moved subconsciously.

Shen Qiao seemed to have noticed the change in him, and let out a low hum from her throat. The low voice was hoarse, which was inexplicably attractive.

He opened his mouth again and asked casually, "Let me take a bite, how about it?"

While speaking, his nostrils had moved to the back of Lu Zhe's neck, as if he was instinctively looking for a place to mark this person. The hairs on the back of Lu Zhe's neck stood up, his intuition reminded him that there was a fatal danger. Li clamored to fight back.

But he didn't move, and even raised his hand to sink into Shen Qiao's hair, rubbed the other's head with his palm, and responded to him in a relaxed and indulgent tone:

"it is good."

next moment--

Lu Zhe's shoulder muscles suddenly tightened due to the sudden pain!

But he was stunned.

Shen Qiao didn't bite his gland, but just bit his shoulder, and the force was not too heavy, leaving a mark at most, which would disappear in a few minutes.

He paused, tentatively lowered his hand, and hugged the waist of the person in front of him.

"I won't lose." Lu Zhe said softly, as if comforting.

Shen Qiao let go of biting him, leaned her chin on his shoulder, and replied casually: "Who talked to you about this?"

Lu Zhe: "...?"

Shen Qiao gave a "tsk", dropped her hand hooking his neck, and circled his waist impatiently, rushing in a rather nasty tone, as if trying to cover up her insignificant embarrassment.

"Don't you want to hug?"

He urged: "You can only hug for ten seconds, the second round is about to start, don't affect my state."

The voice fell——

He was tightly rubbed into Lu Zhe's arms.

Lu Zhe greedily inhaled his pheromone smell, with a smile that could not be hidden in his tone, and replied extremely gently:

"Well, just ten seconds."
