who's next

Ji Huai had a great time, and ate to his heart's content, wandering outside until after dinner before returning to the hotel.

Ruan Yuchen sent him to the door of the hotel, and sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that we can't play games together today."

Ji Huai put his hands in his pockets, disapproving: "I'm different from you, you rely on games for a living, I'm at most a hobby."

The October night was already chilly in early autumn, and Ji Huai was only wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, and it was a bit cold standing in the wind.

Ruan Yuchen was careful, noticed his small movements, reached out to touch Ji Huai's thorn with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Go up, you are tired from playing today."

Ji Huai slapped his restless paws mercilessly, and suddenly remembered what happened at the meeting, and quickly called out to Ruan Yuchen: "Wait, the coach of GW asked me for your contact information this morning, it seems to be called Cheng Jie."

The corner of Ruan Yuchen's mouth still had a gentle curvature, and the moment he heard this sentence, his eyes suddenly became indifferent.

"Then?"

Ji Huai didn't expect him to react like this, he hesitated for a moment, a little guilty: "He asked me if I would join the team..."

"You are not allowed to go." Ruan Yuchen blurted out, his voice revealing a trace of imperceptible anxiety and tension.

Ji Huai stared at him for a long time, his lips moved: "I refused, but I gave you your WeChat ID, I'm sorry."

He didn't understand what entanglement Ruan Yuchen had with GW, but judging from the current situation, it seemed that his arbitrary decision caused trouble to Ruan Yuchen.

"It's okay." The loss of control just now seemed to exhaust Ruan Yuchen's entire strength, and his voice was so soft that it fell to the ground and disappeared with the wind.

"I see that your complexion is not very good, why don't you... come up and sit down?" Ruan Yuchen's state is not right, and Ji Huai is also curious why he has such a big reaction.

Maybe he can take the opportunity to dig out some unknown inside stories in the e-sports circle.

"I'm fine, just a little tired." Ruan Yuchen smiled reluctantly at Ji Huai, "I'll go back first, and I'll take you to play tomorrow. Sleep well and don't stay up late."

The dim street lamps gradually elongated the shadow, and Ruan Yuchen's lonely back was quickly hidden in the dense night.

Ji Huai stood there for 2 minutes, then looked away and walked into the hotel lobby silently.He felt a little uncomfortable, and this discomfort came from Ning Xuzhi's words.

"Didn't you find that he knows all your friends? In other words, he is integrating into your circle."

That's right, Ruan Yuchen is blending into his circle.But when Ji Huai tried to touch the edge of his circle, Ruan Yuchen wrapped himself up tightly.Like a small silkworm cocoon, no one can pry into it unless the outer shell is torn apart.

After shopping around the streets all day, no matter how energetic Ji Huai is, he will inevitably feel tired.However, he was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, and when he closed his eyes, various noisy voices appeared in his ears, which made him feel like he was in a trance.

Half asleep and half awake until the next morning, Ji Huai's biological clock forced him to wake up, and walked to the bathroom in a daze to stare at himself in the mirror.The eye sockets are black and blue, and the half-closed dead fish eyes are lifeless, like a terminally ill patient who is depressed.

Ruan Yuchen sent him a message at three o'clock in the morning, the content was roughly sorry for yesterday's gaffe, and promised to make amends today.

Ji Huai didn't reply. Judging from the time of sending the message, it can be seen that Ruan Yuchen is also suffering from insomnia, and the cause of the insomnia is not within his consideration.

Ruan Yuchen expressed the idea of ​​getting close, but he seemed to only want to export unilaterally, which made Ji Huai uncomfortable and unbalanced.

He sank into the bedding, buried his face in the pillow, smelled the smell of cotton wool, and slowly let go of his thoughts.

In all fairness, Ji Huai understood Ruan Yuchen's psychology.Although they have known each other for nearly half a year, this is the first time they have met, so it is reasonable to be on guard against people.

But understanding does not mean tolerance, and he will take a defensive stance before Ruan Yuchen's explanation. Who doesn't have a story?

Ji Huai bought a [-]:[-] p.m. ticket, and if he wanted, he still had time to have lunch with Ruan Yuchen.

Too bad he doesn't want to.

The ringing of the incoming call gave Ji Huai a headache. He depressedly pressed the volume button to switch to silent mode, and then threw the phone aside.

After a moment of silence, the ringtone of the WeChat voice call entered Ji Huai's ears like a death call.

"Hey."

"What time is your car?" Ruan Yuchen didn't mention Ji Huai's behavior of not answering the phone, as if it never happened.

"Leave right away."

"Ah... I thought I could have lunch, do you want me to take you to the station?"

Ji Huai's tone was calm and unwavering: "I won't bother you."

He hung up the phone and turned over, pulled the quilt to his chest, intending to go back to sleep, and slept until noon.

Ji Huai likes to make a careful travel plan when he is away, and usually arrives at the station or airport an hour in advance.In addition, there was a lot of traffic in M ​​city, and just after one o'clock, he was ready to go to the front desk to check out.

Unexpectedly, he was blocked by a car when he went out, and the car window was slowly lowered. Ruan Yuchen sat quietly in the car and looked at him, his clear eyes flickered with complex lights, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.

"I want to see you for the last time, and I can't even make it for lunch, so you keep me waiting." Ruan Yuchen raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, but he didn't get angry.

Ji Huai had the embarrassment of having a lie broken, but more of the anxiety of having his plan disrupted. He looked down at the time, opened the car door and sat inside.

"I know it's not enough to say sorry now, it's important to explain, but I'm really in a hurry."

Ruan Yuchen glanced at him indifferently from the rearview mirror, stepped on the gas pedal and shifted to gear silently.As if venting, the car quickly submerged into the traffic flow, and went straight to the train station like a wild horse.

There was still half an hour before the ticket check at the destination. Ji Huai didn't care about Ruan Yuchen's attitude, so he walked to the station in two steps.

Ruan Yuchen wanted to watch him go in, but the vehicles were not allowed to stop for too long. Under the repeated urging of the staff, he had no choice but to leave the train station patiently and sadly.

Before Ji Huai returned to school, before he stepped into the dormitory door, You Zhengzheng rushed up and hugged his arms, crying bitterly: "My dear Huaihuai, you are back! Show mom whether you are missing any arms or legs !"

"Why, I'm going to face base, not to fight in Syria."

You Zhengzheng was like five thunderbolts, he said in horror: "No way, you really sent it thousands of miles away?!"

Ji Huai: "?"

"Ning Xuzhi told me." You Zhengzheng felt that his cabbage was being bullied by a pig, and couldn't help but feel sad, "Ruan Yuchen said live that he wanted to transfer the GW meeting spot, and many people suggested that you go, and by the way, you can also meet the base .”

"Ning Xuzhi, the turtle bastard, didn't tell me a long time ago. You only told me when you came back and cooked the rice. People are not old!"

Ji Huai felt that the timeline was not right: "Which live broadcast did he say that?"

You Zhengzheng counted on his fingers and scratched his head: "It seems like yesterday."

But Ruan Yuchen asked him to do me a favor that very night when he received the email, and the screenshot of the email is still in Ji Huai's phone.

To sum up, Ji Huai can confirm that Ruan Yuchen once again used him to make a big fuss to stimulate traffic.
