Warm Water Spirits

The latest batch of youth trainees just arrived this morning.

Lin Xiyao first showed them around the base.

Last week, First has all moved into the original Xinzhan base, a four-story lakeside villa.

The first floor is divided into AB two super competition training rooms, and the floor height is directly connected to the second floor. Standing on the platform on the second floor, you can have a clear view of the training situation below.

The dormitories for youth trainees are placed on the second floor, and the public restaurant is also on the second floor.The third floor is the dormitory and conference room for the main players.Considering the work and rest environment of the main players, the special training room originally located on the third floor has been slightly adjusted. Before First moved in, it was moved to the fourth floor, and the original leisure and entertainment area on the fourth floor was slightly reduced.

This time, a total of [-] youth trainees were recruited, all of them were youths of seventeen or eighteen years old, full of vigor, excited to follow behind Lin Xiyao, opening and closing their mouths "Cloud God".

Lin Xiyao didn't let them go up to the third floor, and took the built-in elevator directly to the fourth floor: "I'll show you Yunshen's exclusive training space."

The cheers instantly shook the floor to hum.

Lin Xiyao frowned: "Keep down. Cloud God is still sleeping."

It was three o'clock in the afternoon.

However, the schedule of these young trainees is even more irregular than that of professional players. They were not surprised when they heard this. A few of them asked a little more: "Do Yunshen train at night?"

Lin Xiyao smiled, but didn't say anything.

On the fourth floor, Boyu and Liu Zhizhan chatted in low voices at the door of the training room. Lin Xiyao greeted with a smile: "Boyu, coach."

The young trainees shouted in unison behind them: "Brother Boyu! Hello coach!"

Boyu was so frightened that he turned around and put a finger on his lips. His usually easy-going tone was a little harsh at this moment: "Shh! Cloud God is sleeping!"

Liu Zhi smiled, and comforted the young trainee who was instantly worried: "It's okay. The soundproof walls of the dormitory are made of imported materials. Yunshen will not be affected."

Boyu sighed, frowned and said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down. It's not like you don't know his current state..."

Lin Xiyao asked if anyone was in the training room.

Bo Yu: "Xue Minghuai and Xia Min are training. Lu Xinglan is filling out the registration form for the summer competition. It's nothing serious, let's take them in and have a look."

The uneasiness came and went quickly, and the youth trainees lined up happily into the exclusive training room for the main players.

A training session has ended, and Xue Minghuai and Xia Min are resuming the game.Lu Xinglan stood behind and listened together.

Lin Xiyao took them to meet each other and greeted them one by one, and the empty and somewhat deserted training room suddenly became more lively.

Many team members took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and some couldn't wait to ask where Yunshen was sitting.

Xue Minghuai smiled, and pointed to the opposite side of himself: "Just look at it. Don't move. Yunshen will come to train at night."

As soon as the voice fell, the phone was raised in a swish, and it was all directed towards Xue Minghuai.

"I have the same keyboard as Yunshen!" one of the tallest youth trainees said excitedly.

"I still have the same water glass as Yunshen!" Someone immediately echoed.

Seeing this, Lin Xiyao couldn't help laughing, and said to Xue Minghuai: "When I see someone at night, I must be completely crazy."

Xue Minghuai smiled, took off the earphones and asked Xia Min and Lu Xinglan to resume the game by himself, got up and went to the side to fetch water, took a few sips and remembered something, then turned to ask Lin Xiyao: "I'm training at noon, has he come down for dinner?"

Lin Xiyao's expression suddenly became worried, and she walked over and said, "No. Later, Boyu knocked on the door, and he answered after a while, saying that he was not hungry. Boyu was worried, so he took the key to go in and found that the medicine prescribed by Doctor Qi was actually taken. , I just don’t know how it works.”

Xue Minghuai frowned, put the water glass on the shelf, turned around and was about to leave: "I'll go down and have a look."

Lin Xiyao stopped him: "Boyu said he fell asleep with difficulty. It's past one o'clock. If you go now, you can only sleep for more than an hour."

Because of the joining of young trainees, the entire training room became noisy.

Xue Minghuai looked at the group of young trainees not far away who wanted to take a look and pat everything, and sighed: "It's been like this for almost half a month."

Lin Xiyao only came to the base last week, so she didn't know what happened before, so she asked, "What's the reason? Boyu told me that when he went back after lunch that day, he met Yan Yu on the way to find fault with him, and later witnessed a fall from a building. Great satisfaction, are you scared?"

Xue Minghuai chuckled: "Yunshen? Scared? It's true that you ask Yan Yu if she was scared."

Lin Xiyao knew what had happened from Boyu long ago, and she was still very angry: "Yan Yu is crazy! This kind of person is actually the captain of P11!"

Xue Minghuai was neither hot nor cold: "There are a lot of things like this in the e-sports circle. Even if you get out of the circle, it's not a rare thing."

Lin Xiyao didn't speak, and asked in silence for a while, "Doctor Qi didn't say anything to you?"

Xue Minghuai shook his head: "This involves privacy, right? Doctor Qi only said that it was caused by excessive mental pressure. He didn't say a word. But..." After a pause, Xue Minghuai moved his eyes to the door and said, "I think Boyu knows something What."

On the other end, Xia Min, Lu Xinglan had already finished the resumption of the game, and the youth trainees gathered around to listen to what they said about the team. The huge training room was even more noisy than before.

Xue Minghuai walked to the open-air balcony connected to the training room. The sunlight outside was thin and the heat was average.In early June, the rainy season flooded, and the rising temperature was washed away by the rain within a few hours.

Lin Xiyao came over: "I think so too. Boyu called Doctor Qi that day, right? Why did he think of going to see Doctor Qi?"

Xue Minghuai smiled: "He needs a physical examination. When I met him by chance, I told him about the captain's recent situation. Who knew that Dr. Qi went back to the base with him without even thinking about it—this also puzzled me, as if Dr. Qi had been paying attention to the captain early in the morning. Mental condition."

"Do you want to contact Jiang Yunqi's family?" Lin Xiyao paused for a moment and asked.

Xue Minghuai looked at Lin Xiyao like he was looking at the head teacher: "Yunshen said not to contact, he will make adjustments - he even held a special meeting with us to talk about it."

Lin Xiyao was surprised: "Specially meeting with you to talk about this?"

Xue Minghuai: "Of course I also said something else. The summer warm-up competition will start soon, and I talked about arranging to play. I guess he doesn't plan to play this time. Lu Xinglan will fill out the registration form later and show it to him in the evening ..."

After a few words, the sky was gloomy again, the lead clouds were billowing, the rain was accumulating, and soon there was light rain again.

Jiang Yunqi slept until after six o'clock.

When I got up, it was completely dark outside, the windows were blurred, and I could hear the patter of rain.

The lights in the room were not turned on, Jiang Yunqi opened his eyes and looked at the dark ceiling.After a night of sleep, my eyes were bloodshot, my body was exhausted, and it was more difficult to sleep than not to sleep.

The drug caused confusion in thinking for a short time. It took Jiang Yunqi some time to figure out where he was, and some time to figure out what was wrong with him.

It's been a long time.

The door was knocked twice suddenly, Jiang Yunqi sat up holding the quilt, and waited.

Seeing that no one opened the door, Bo Yu took the key and opened the door, but he didn't turn on the light when he came in. He stood at the door and asked Jiang Yunqi softly if he was hungry.

The light outside the door shone straight in, and it took a while for the sore eyes to get used to it.

Jiang Yunqi looked at him: "Yes."

Boyu walked a few steps closer, and couldn't help looking at a certain place in the corner of the room. Although he knew how strange the following sentence might sound to others, he still couldn't help asking Jiang Yunqi: "Is he... still there?"

Before Boyu finished speaking, Jiang Yunqi's body trembled subconsciously, and one hand that was put on the team uniform was slightly stiff-in fact, it was much better than at the beginning, which can be regarded as a certain degree of adaptation.

At first, Bo-woo is completely scared and stupid.If it hadn't been for Dr. Qi to explain Jiang Yunqi's cause of illness to him, Bo Yu would be one step away from hanging peach charms in Jiang Yunqi's house.

Jiang Yunqi lowered his head, breathing a little harder: "Yes."

Bo Yu hurried over and patted Jiang Yunqi on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Let's go out to eat."

Jiang Yunqi looked back at the corner of the room before closing the door as if he had never heard of it.

In just a few weeks, Jiang Yunqi was so thin that he couldn't stand the team uniform that was just right. It seemed that the clothes contained not a person, but a strand of soul, as thin as a piece of paper, pale and cold.

There are fewer expressions than usual.Under the sudden thinness, the figure is even more slender, and the facial features reveal a sense of fragility, which is almost morbidly good-looking.The blue eyes are moist and calm, showing a little luster under the black eyelashes, and there are faint red bloodshots under the eye sockets, plus drinking water and taking medicine in the room for a long time, the lips are not dry at all, pink and crystal clear, giving the whole body Dyed with a touch of beauty under extreme fragility.

With the bright lights outside, Jiang Yunqi walked slowly.

Boyu quietly observed Jiang Yunqi's condition, and felt that Jiang Yunqi was like a frozen lake in nine cold days. The ice solidified little by little, the lake was still, and the winter was long and endless.

It is now the beginning of June.

When they went downstairs, the youth trainees had already tested the machines for training in the training room on the first floor. Liu Zhi looked over them one by one and made some small adjustments for them.

Seeing them coming down, the restaurant aunt asked what they wanted to eat.Jiang Yunqi didn't speak, and sat alone at the innermost dining table, and then stared at a place in a daze.

Bo Yu said that a bowl of noodles in clear soup would be good, so he came and sat opposite Jiang Yunqi.

Following Jiang Yunqi's gaze and turning his head for a while, Bo Yu knew that "that person" followed.

Bo Yu tilted his body, blocking Jiang Yunqi's sight, and smiled: "Would you like to meet the youth trainees? They're all a little big, and it's fun to make trouble."

Jiang Yunqi blinked and remembered something: "Have you filled out the registration form?"

This will make Bo Yu stunned.

Although the drug will cause drowsiness, it is only temporary. Jiang Yunqi has a clear mind: "I can't play in the warm-up match, you ask Lu Xinglan to replace me as a substitute."

Boyu sighed: "Okay."

"The second team will let the coach be in charge. It is estimated that they will not be trained too soon. We will listen to the coach for the next competition."

"Ah."

A steaming bowl of vermicelli in clear soup was served, and Jiang Yunqi held the chopsticks without moving. When he looked up, he saw Bo Yu's eyes suddenly turned red.

Jiang Yunqi couldn't help laughing: "I'm fine. I just scared you, are you okay?"

Boyu shook his head, not knowing what to say.

At the beginning, Jiang Yunqi really scared him a lot.

On the night when he came back from Lianghai Road, Jiang Yunqi had hallucinations.

At two o'clock in the morning, if Boyu hadn't been so hungry and went to the refrigerator to find something to eat, no one would have noticed Jiang Yunqi's abnormality immediately.

Jiang Yunqi sat on the sofa with his knees hugged, and told Boyu that there was someone in his room. Now, that person came out with him, right behind Boyu.

Still holding a gun.

Bo Yu almost peed.

Later, Boyu found out that Jiang Yunqi who spoke was very strange.It's not like sleepwalking, and it's almost meaningless to say it's awake, it's between being awake and a nightmare, and the whole person is in a trance.

After finally coaxing Jiang Yunqi to go back to sleep, Jiang Yunqi had a fever the next day.

The whole person was in a daze, vomited whatever he ate, and kept calling "Brother Pei".

Everyone took turns to take care of them. Boyu thought about it, but he didn't tell everyone about Jiang Yunqi's "sleepwalking" last night.

It was a coincidence that Boyu was staying with me in the middle of the night. Jiang Yunqi opened his eyes and asked Boyu if he could see the people in the room.

With his first experience, Boyu calmed down a lot, turned his head and looked at the snow-white wall carefully for a while, then turned his head and gave Jiang Yunqi a negative answer.

Jiang Yunqi cried immediately, crying like a child, saying yes, you have seen him, you know him, how could you not see it.

Boyu was frightened again, not knowing who the person he and Jiang Yunqi had met was.It's just that Jiang Yunqi's crying made him feel uncomfortable, and he felt sour one after another.

Bo Yu didn't care who it was, he hurriedly coaxed him, saying that he saw it, that I didn't pay attention to it just now, and that he would see it later, he really knew him, he had seen it before.

Jiang Yunqi gradually calmed down, but his face was white and sweating profusely.

This short-term recovery is like a lingering breath under overload, and it will collapse completely at some point.

In the next few days, Jiang Yunqi became extraordinarily normal, training, eating, holding meetings, and moving the base, it was normal as if nothing had happened.

Until Bo Yu told Qi Jian about it.

Qi Jian's expression after listening to Bo Yu's expression made him feel scared when he thought about it, as if he was hiding some shocking secret.

Qi Jian was extremely serious and said that he would take him to see Jiang Yunqi now.

The restaurant is brightly lit, and the noodle soup is golden and translucent, with small circles of lukewarm fat.

Jiang Yunqi lowered his head and ate the noodles slowly.

Boyu looked at Jiang Yunqi from top to bottom, still worried: "God Yun, you can't do this, if you lose weight, you will have problems. Should you tell your brother? Go home and recuperate?"

The chopsticks stopped, Jiang Yunqi lowered his eyes, rested his thin fingers on the edge of the bowl, quietly, but his eyelashes trembled violently, like weak wings under a storm, and the noodle that had just been eaten remained in his mouth for a long time.

After a while, Jiang Yunqi said: "When I feel better, I will tell him myself."

Maybe it was the face in his mouth, maybe Jiang Yunqi's mood was already unstable, these words sounded like he was about to cry to Boyu.

But Jiang Yunqi didn't cry.

It took Jiang Yunqi twice as long to finish a bowl of noodles.

The noodles were lumpy in the end, so Boyu asked his aunt to add some hot noodle soup.

After eating, Jiang Yunqi went to see the youth trainees. He was in good condition. Although his smile was weak, he showed it a lot. Boyu watched from the side, quietly reassuring.

Liu Zhi came over and patted Bo Yu on the shoulder without saying anything.

When returning to the training room on the fourth floor, Xue Minghuai noticed the same problem as Boyu: "Yunshen, you are too thin, are you really okay? Why don't you go home and recuperate for a while? Xia Sai, don't worry."

Jiang Yunqi put on the earphones: "It's okay. I hope the doctor will come for an examination tomorrow, and I think it will be enough to change the medicine for another stage..."

Xue Minghuai was worried, but he didn't want to force Jiang Yunqi, so he got up and pulled Boyu and went to the balcony.

Jiang Yunqi looked up for a while, bowed his head and continued training.

The two came back after a while, Xue Minghuai's expression was not very good, he didn't know what Bo Yu said.Jiang Yunqi focused on training, thinking, these are all fine, just take the medicine and it will be fine.

It will definitely be better if you take the medicine.

At least no hallucinations.

But Jiang Yunqi can dream, dreaming all night and all night.

In the dream, there was a stereotyped explosion, the canopy of the tree was burnt black, the black smoke billowed in the field of vision, the sound of gunshots was terrifying, a large amount of blood splashed on the trunk, and it was cold and sticky to the touch.

He hid in the bushes and didn't dare to go out. Jiang Zhenghe pointed a gun at him, saying that he owed him this, why didn't he pay it back?Why not pay it back?

Jiang Yunqi went out, with a gun in his hand, looking for that person.

Later, a man covered in blood walked out of the raging red flames, his face was stern, his eyebrows were stained with blood, and his eyes were filled with strong hatred and killing intent.

The heart will always throb at this time, and the pain doesn't seem to be my own.

Jiang Yunqi handed over the gun.

The man pointed the gun at himself——

At this time, all the extreme emotions suddenly burst like a flood, and the stormy waves hit him overwhelmingly, and Jiang Yunqi was suffocated in his dream.

When I opened my eyes, my face was covered with water, sweat, and tears.

The effect of the medicine faded, and the hallucinations revived.

Jiang Yunqi buried his head and dared not look across.

Gradually, the grievance overcame the fear, and Jiang Yunqi raised his eyes and was out of breath. He said to the man in the dark:

"Brother Pei, can you come over and give me a hug?"

The bloody man stared at him coldly, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.
