Warm Water Spirits

Although there have always been voices rapping about the aging team, this time it seems to be a little different from usual.

After Yi Xuan retired, in addition to barely earning the top three in the World Championships, he also maintained the last glory of P11, but in the following spring games, the situation of P11 gradually regressed.Falling out of the top five in the regular season this time, counting the P11 record, has never happened.

When the online discussion became more and more intense, everyone suddenly discovered that Song Shao, who had just joined P11 for less than three months, was quietly removed from the P11 official website on the third day of the regular season.

Compared with the tirade when he left Xinzhan and joined P11, Song Shao's microblog was completely emptied that night, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Fans burst into tears, scolding P11 for being dishonest and First for being too deceitful.

As the second week of the regular season began as scheduled, the P11 points were still hovering at fifth and sixth, being overwhelmed by the ferocious First.

The "can't get out of the line" that was regarded as a joke by netizens at the beginning seems to have a tendency to be fulfilled.

The grievances between Xinzhan, the predecessor of First, and P11 were once again brought up by netizens to ponder, which also made everyone look forward to the official promise of the investigation results.

On the first day of May, the spring regular season came to an end.

P11 ranked sixth, only [-] points away from the fifth place First, and completely stopped the spring competition.

In the next few days, all e-sports news was dominated by P11.

After careful consideration, the club to which P11 belongs announced that P11 will undergo internal rectification, and the deadline is unknown.P80.00 sponsorship, which accounts for about 11%, began to withdraw conservatively...

Gossip is flying everywhere.It is rumored that Yan Yu's position is not guaranteed, and P11 is about to usher in a big change.It is also rumored that a large number of young trainees have left Yunfu Ladder, and it is not miserable. The old team has finally reached its end.

In short, all kinds of news are emerging one after another, and it has been more than half a month since P11 refuted the rumors.

But everyone more or less knows in their hearts that the sword of Damocles hanging over P11's head will eventually fall.

The regular season is over, and the time for the finals is officially determined on the second weekend of May.

The eliminated teams have left the Accor International Hotel one after another in the first week, and the remaining 25 teams will participate in official training in the second week.

The final competition system is slightly adjusted every year. The purpose of the official training is to let these teams, especially those emerging teams, understand the competition system in depth, so as not to make the mistake of being eliminated during the competition.

But for teams like Sed, Infinite, and even GOG that have been established for more than two years, the essence of old fritters is fully exposed.It's okay to be absent from class, but I also want to kidnap a good student, First, to miss class together.

Xu Yang didn't quite understand: "Look at you, apart from the new team name, which one is new?"

Jiang Yunqi looked back and said rigorously: "The coach is new."

Liu Zhi: "..."

Xu Yang and Su He looked at each other, and they were about to laugh like crazy: "He is so old! Is he still new?! Not to mention the season competition system, I think the emperor can recite the procedures of the World Championship!"

Liu Zhi was expressionless: "Xiao Huai, bite him."

Xue Minghuai immediately chased after him with a smile.

At that time, they had just finished dinner in the restaurant, and there were three days before the weekend finals. Xu Yang said that he should go out for a drink together, otherwise he would have no chance to count down to training in the next few days.

It can be seen that Boyu Xiamin and Lu Xinglan really want to go, Xue Minghuai doesn't care, Liu Zhi said he is old, so don't call him for such things.

So everyone looked at Jiang Yunqi.

Xu Yang: "God Yun, please save face."

Jiang Yunqi smiled: "Then go. Start training seriously tomorrow."

We picked a bar not too far from the hotel, and it was just dark when we arrived.

All boys in their twenties, bragging and studying the wine menu.

Jiang Yunqi leaned on the back of his chair and bowed his head to send a message to Pei Zhe.

Pei Zhe had a meeting abroad some time ago, and Jiang Yunqi called Pei Zhe after the game in the evening, and Pei Zhe was usually having breakfast.

Jiang Yunqi was afraid of delaying Pei Zhe's work, so he spoke a little too fast when he spoke.It's just that every few minutes after hanging up the phone is clingy, calling "Brother Pei" and not going on, the milk is endless.

Pei Zhe said that he would go back to China to see him as soon as this side was over.Jiang Yunqi felt that he was too tired to transfer to S City halfway, so he passed verbally, without saying whether he wanted to see him or not.

On the day of the end of the regular season, the 25 qualifying teams will attend an official dinner together.The banquet hall was brightly lit, the meals were sumptuous, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and the conversation was a lot easier. The newly emerging teams were busy making friends with the old teams, and the old teams who wanted to expand their teams were also planning to find strong players in these new teams.

And a team like First, which is new outside and old inside, has a lot of Buddhism, eat and drink, and occasionally chat with Sed, Infinite, and GOG.But mainly Boyu took the lead, Xia Min, Lu Xinglan watched, Xue Minghuai reluctantly said a few words, Liu Zhi only looked up at them when the word "Zhihuang" appeared, and most of the time he played mobile phone to watch the news.

Jiang Yunqi listened silently for a while, then sat in the corner of the balcony to reply congratulatory text messages one by one, absent-minded.

When Pei Zhe called, Jiang Yunqi was actually a little disappointed, because he had been sending messages to Pei Zhe for the past few hours, but Pei Zhe didn't reply.

So when the interface suddenly showed that the caller was Pei Zhe, Jiang Yunqi immediately laughed.

Pei Zhe said that he had just got off the plane and was temporarily transiting in City S, but the timing was unlucky, and he could only stay for four hours. Afterwards, he had to go back to Jiangzhou for a meeting, and asked Jiang Yunqi if he was still in the hotel. He came to see him.

Jiang Yunqi ran out after hearing this, passing Boyu, Xue Minghuai, Liu Zhi and others like a gust of wind, speaking at an unprecedented speed, as if every minute and every second from this moment was indescribably wonderful, worth it He tried his best to focus.

Jiang Yunqi said that the drive from the airport to the city center would definitely be blocked, but the drive outside would be smooth, and asked Pei Zhe to wait for him for 10 minutes: "I've already booked a taxi!"

Clear and comprehensive, Pei Zhe stood next to the suitcase with a low smile: "Okay."

The meeting lasted for more than three hours, which made Jiang Yunqi feel feverish just thinking about it in the next week.

In fact, counting, many meetings in the past were similar to this one.Thousands of miles away, the world is full of dust, and the time is short. From the moment the eyes meet, the heartbeat has been controlled by another person.

The quiet but restless "ding dong" sound in the elevator, the soft but restless steps when stepping on the carpet, no one turned on the light when entering the door, Jiang Yunqi sat on the suitcase and kissed Pei Zhe with his neck up, familiar Jiang Yunqi will shed tears because he misses her so much: "Why are you like this..."

Pei Zhe's reassurance always worked.

Two hours later, Jiang Yunqi was able to flick his tail in the bathroom like a milk cat.

Lying on the bed to see Pei Zhe put on the meticulous and decent suit again, Jiang Yunqi couldn't take his eyes away at all, and he couldn't take his eyes off him: "Brother Pei, look good."

Pei Zhe chuckled and looked at Jiang Yunqi in the mirror.The little butt is especially red, and the fingerprints on the delicate ankles are clear.Jiang Yunqi and him looked at each other, yawned, lowered their heads and buried themselves in the bed to continue to relax.

Pei Zhe was worried that he would stay in the hotel alone, and would take him out to get dressed when it was almost time.

Dressed in Jiang Yunqi's spirit, it was obvious what he wanted in his moist blue eyes, Pei Zhe looked down and smiled: "Aren't you full?"

Jiang Yunqi put his arms around Pei Zhe, put his chin on Pei Zhe's shoulder, and whispered, "There is no next meal."

"Let's recollect it now—a normal reaction, Brother Pei just ignore it."

In the first few nights after Pei Zhe left, Jiang Yunqi reflected on himself pitifully, and when he couldn't take it anymore, he called Pei Zhe, and Pei Zhe would teach him how to do it, with a soothing, gentle and doting tone.Jiang Yunqi was sweating profusely while hiding under the quilt, panting softer than a cat, screaming "Brother Pei" and "Brother Pei", all hoarse at the mouth, vague and sweet, and could make people feel angry all over.

The wine ordered came to the table one after another, and most of the beer was there. After all, there was training tomorrow, so everyone knew something.

When GONG's No. 11 and No. [-] people pushed the door and came in, Xu Yang kept babbling, still talking about P[-]'s failure to advance to the finals: "I heard that the sponsorship has almost been withdrawn, and those big bosses in the club are considering buying people to come in for the summer. "Sai", he turned to look at his own player on the opposite side: "Yijia was handed the mail."

Xue Minghuai followed to see Wei Yijia who has been playing mobile games with several other Sed players: "Did P11 contact you in the last winter competition?"

Wei Yijia was Sed's dark horse Knight in the winter competition last year.

Wei Yijia raised his head, frowned and said, "I refused. And that email is too embarrassing."

Xue Minghuai smiled: "I wrote that email."

Xu Yang spit out a mouthful of water: "There's something wrong with you! I said why is there a pretentious temperament in the open and in the dark... No, Yan Yu will let you write recruitment emails?"

Xue Minghuai gave him a white look: "At that time there was nothing about Yan Yu. What memory do you have? At that time, Yi Xuan was about to retire, and the team wanted to recruit new blood, but the boss was too busy, so let me send an email to dig the wall, and I will send Slightly."

Liu Zhi lowered his eyes and smiled when he heard this, but didn't say anything.

Xu Yang: "... If I have a team member who is as worried as you, I—"

Xu Yang fixed his eyes on the door, and his tone changed: "The hyena is here."

People turn back.

GONG obviously saw them too, the leader was their captain Era, who suddenly smiled and walked towards Xu Yang.

Boyu was immediately alert, and turned around to warn one by one: "Don't fight! Don't fight. If we can't do it, we'll withdraw! It's not worth losing the final spot for this kind of nonsense, you hear me?"

Xia Min, Lu Xinglan obediently responded.

Xue Minghuai snorted coldly.

Bo Yu lowered his voice: "About you! Xue Gou! You are the most dangerous!"

Xue Minghuai rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

Era walked all the way with a smile, quite polite, and nodded with several captains. Jiang Yunqi sat in the innermost place, and Era specially called out: "Yunshen."

Xia Min opened his eyes wide: "Isn't he Korean?! Can he speak Chinese?"

Lu Xinglan: "I guess there are special requirements... I heard that the former KTT captain, the one who died in a car accident, was also fluent in Chinese."

Jiang Yunqi looked up at him: "Hello."

Era turned her head and said something to her team members, and the rest left to go to another table. Era glanced at Xu Yang, Su He and Xie Fei, and asked, "Can I sit for a while?"

Xu Yang went to see Jiang Yunqi.

Jiang Yunqi: "Yes."

Era sat down happily, then raised her hand and asked the waiter for a bottle of white wine, and added six extra glasses of beer.

Xue Minghuai frowned, his eyes met Xu Yang's, and they both went to look at Jiang Yunqi.

Jiang Yunqi's expression was very calm from the beginning to the end. At this moment, he looked down at the phone, and when he raised his head, his eyes were also very calm.

The white wine was on the table, and Era filled the six small wine glasses, raising her head and squinting again.

Everyone silently watched him make the popular "cannonball wine" in Korea, wondering who would drink the six glasses of mixed wine.

Bo Yu whispered: "There are only five captains here, who is the rest?"

Xue Minghuai stared at Era: "I won't give it to you anyway."

Boyu: "..."

After Era finished the preparations, he flicked his fingers lightly, and the white wine glasses fell into the beer glasses with a "plop" and "puff", and then he put all three of them in front of Jiang Yunqi.

"Cloud God, please."

Boyu instantly became angry: "Fuck!"

Xu Yang and the others were already stunned.

Xue Minghuai stood up directly, looking like he was going to pull someone's collar, Jiang Yunqi grabbed him, looked at Era who had been smiling all the time, and smiled: "Can I ask the reason? Drinking always has a reputation , I can’t bear you to come up and give me such a big gift.”

Era kept smiling, and said slowly: "God Yun snatched Song Shao from me, wouldn't you show it?"

Boyu was completely angry, he stood up abruptly, approached Era fiercely, and said viciously, "Fuck me—are you so shameless? How many heads have you snatched by yourself? Don't you have any idea?! Why don't you see you one by one?" Going to give people a drink? Shit!"

Xue Minghuai looked up at him for a few moments, and reminded with a soft sigh: "Don't fight..."

Era looked up and smiled at Boyu: "I haven't finished yet."

Boyu choked, staring at him completely unsure of what to say.

Era continued to face Jiang Yunqi: "I admire Yunshen's technique very much, and I have great admiration. I want to make friends with Yunshen. I will do it here as a respect-does this word exist in Chinese? To show my sincerity, these three cups, I'll drink first."

After finishing speaking, Era picked up the wine glass without hesitation and drank it down, one glass followed by the second glass, and two glasses followed by the third glass, without dropping a single drop.

The audience was confused again for a moment. This drinking method of Era does seem "sincere", but it doesn't look like "admiration" at all...

It took dozens of seconds for Era to finish drinking, and when she put down the last glass of wine, her eyes gradually revealed with the alcohol, arrogant and arrogant.

In GONG's view, these "mainstream" teams are too high-sounding, believe in strength, and despise skills.What friendship comes first and competition comes second——in front of the champion, it's all false.

Jiang Yunqi looked at him indifferently, as if he knew what Era was thinking, his eyes moved down slightly, and landed on the three empty beer glasses.

"so what?"

Era was taken aback.

Jiang Yunqi explained patiently: "You said you admired me, and then came to drink me again. This is not admiration, it's an insult. If it is true admiration, you should say——"

Jiang Yunqi smiled slightly, and said slowly: "You should say, because of admiration, you must learn our excellent qualities. In the finals, don't grab a head."

"Be disciplined."
