Warm Water Spirits

Song Xueying's marriage is scheduled for mid-October.

In early October, relatives of the Song family returned to Suihu one after another.The closer the wedding is, the more people come every day. Aunt Song is too busy, ranging from venue arrangements, wedding procedures, seating arrangements, to invitations, wedding candies, red envelopes...everything has to be taken care of, some of which cannot be determined for the time being , almost an idea a day.

Jiang Yunqi would sometimes go over to help, helping me to remember some trivial matters, and following along to make arrangements.Most of the time, I stayed on the third floor of the old house, focusing on replaying the entire First Summer competition by myself.From the warm-up match to the finals, at the end of each stage of the replay, we have to hold a video conference with the main players, which lasts for several days.

The schedule is long and the replay is difficult. If it is not for the improvement of the state, it will be difficult for Jiang Yunqi to allocate energy to do these things.

Pei Zhe would stay by his side when he had nothing to do, and sat in a corner that Jiang Yunqi could see when he raised his eyes.

At the end of the meeting, if Pei Zhe happened to be dealing with official business, Jiang Yunqi would approach him quietly and stand by the side like a cat. When he was too tired, he would doze off on the edge of the table. Pei Zhe would hug him when he saw it. , Jiang Yunqi was sitting on Pei Zhe's lap, leaning on Pei Zhe's chest and staring in a daze, while listening to Pei Zhe's calm and clear speech. Qi will kiss her.

Like a milk cat waiting for an opportunity, well-behaved and docile, but only to Pei Zhe.

Pei Zhe never dragged his feet when dealing with matters, and his words were so quiet that no one would dare to laugh and laugh in front of him.Compared with Jiang Yunqi, who met for half a day or a whole day at the beginning, and occasionally listened to the team members making gags, the efficiency of the meeting was not so high.

Several times, when Pei Zhe saw Jiang Yunqi staring blankly at the other end of the screen and messing around with the team members, he couldn't help lowering his eyes and laughing, then lowered his head and continued to check the data files he brought back.

Every time at this time, Jiang Yunqi would feel it accurately, and then turn his head to look at the curved corners of Pei Zhe's mouth in a daze, his expression gradually enriched, as if he could not help Pei Zhe.

During this period of time, the medicine was gradually reduced, and everyone around him could see that Jiang Yunqi's condition was improving.

In fact, before Jiang Yunqi's situation gradually improved, Pei Zhe rarely brought work matters back to Suihu to deal with—Jiang Yunqi couldn't tell whether Pei Zhe had something to do or was ignoring him, the latter would make Jiang Yunqi Emotional out of control, even collapse.

Just like the scarf rejected by Pei Zhe, Jiang Yunqi didn't realize that Pei Zhe was thinking for him. In his understanding, Pei Zhe just didn't want him.

At that time, Jiang Yunqi turned a blind eye to everyone except Pei Zhe all day long. He was immersed in his own world, occasionally sticking out his tentacles to sense Pei Zhe's existence, and if he couldn't feel it, he retreated and stayed alone, shielding himself When he felt it, he took the initiative to lean towards Pei Zhe, extremely dependent.

Even happiness and anger belonged to Pei Zhe.

In the event of a long-term business trip, Pei Zhe would reconfirm the date and time of his return with Jiang Yunqi, and if there was any delay, he would call Jiang Yunqi several times in advance to talk about it.

Jiang Yunqi repeated Pei Zhe's words over and over, as if in a daze.

During that short period of time, Aunt Song’s heart troubles for Pei Zhe every time he went on a business trip, because Jiang Yunqi’s condition would become extremely poor, with irregular meals, sudden drop in sleep, and he would suddenly go out for no reason and couldn’t find him. to people.

Aunt Song cried anxiously every time.

Even though Song Xueying was absolutely sure that Jiang Yunqi would come back by herself, Aunt Song would still be worried for several hours.

Jiang Yunqi will indeed come back.

Go out alone, come back alone.No one knows where he went during those hours, and no one knows what he was thinking.Jiang Yunqi, who was not with Pei Zhe, was silent and gloomy, not allowing anyone to approach him.

Later, Aunt Song was really worried, so she let Song Qigui follow secretly to see where Jiang Yunqi was going.

In the end, within half an hour, Song Qigui directly followed the man, and came back and said, "Jiang Zhenghe's teachings are all in his bones! As soon as he found out that I was following, he abducted me in the blink of an eye."

Aunt Song chased the person and scolded: "Then what did you learn! What did the army learn in the past few years! Yun Qi can teach it as soon as it is taught, why do you lose it after learning it!?"

Song Qigui couldn't understand his mother's strange thinking, and muttered: "How can you be so partial?!"

Song Xueying couldn't stop laughing, and finally sighed: "Yun Qi will definitely come back. Mr. Pei is here, where can he go?"

Where did Jiang Yunqi go that time? Qian Yun accidentally said it when he came to see Pei Zhe in the old house.

There are many people handling the construction documents of the old barracks, and the years have passed so long, so it took a lot of time to check, but following the clues, there are still many vague authorizations. Qian Yun has been traveling in Jiangzhou for nearly a year. After many months, I still had no clue, so I had no choice but to turn back and ask Pei Zhe for help.

It's just that Pei Zhe is now in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with several layers of identity, and his name is not right.Qian Yun had no choice but to go to Mr. Qian, and Mr. Qian contacted Mr. Sun, and it took half a month to go back and forth with documents, but at least the identity of Pei Zhe's intervention was finalized.Pei Zhe was not in Jiangzhou when the official authorization was issued. During that time, Pei Zhe could count the days in Jiangzhou on one hand. Qian Yun went to the Song family's old house in Suihu in person to hand over the authorization document to Pei Zhe.

Jiang Yunqi's illness was naturally known.

At that time, Song Qigui entertained Chief Qian for tea on the second floor. When Qian Yun talked about why Pei Zhe was not in Jiangzhou, Song Qigui talked about what happened after the transportation explosion that day.

Qian Yun witnessed Pei Zhe chasing Jiang Yunqi, but he never expected that Jiang Yunqi would suffer from schizophrenia in the end. He was surprised by Song Qigui and said, "That's not right... I went back to the old barracks for inspection last week and still met in Xiaoqu River. Going to Yunqi, it seems that there is nothing wrong—"

"A small canal?"

Pei Zhe's slightly cold voice came from behind: "What is he doing there?"

Qian Yun turned his head, met Pei Zhe's dark gaze, and couldn't help but speak cautiously: "I didn't do anything. In fact, the distance is also far away, so I saw it from a distance."

"Later, I heard from the patrolling soldiers that he came here often for a few days, and his behavior was not sneaky at all. He just sat in one place and stared at one place. The time was not long or short, and the whole person was quite quiet."

"Why are you so nervous..."

Seeing Song Qigui staring at Pei Zhe frequently, Qian Yun thought for a while and tried to comfort him: "I don't think Yun Qi is as serious as you think, he may just want to relax, the past has affected him so much... It's good to be alone. "

Pei Zhe didn't continue to ask.

The three of them talked about their meeting, Pei Zhe took the documents and went up to the third floor.

They didn't go downstairs until dinner that day.

Aunt Song knocked on the door before dinner, but Pei Zhe said that they should not be bothered, so Aunt Song ignored them.After all, Pei Zhe would not really do anything to Jiang Yunqi.

After noon the next day, around two o'clock, everyone saw Jiang Yunqi in the dining room on the second floor, sitting opposite Pei Zhe, drinking soup lukewarmly, looking as usual. Pei Zhe brought him some food, and he ate all of it.After eating, he saw Aunt Song looking at him, and called "Aunt Song", directly crying out Aunt Song's tears.

Since then, Jiang Yunqi's condition has gradually improved.

No one knows what happened that night.

Jiang Yunqi seemed to have received some kind of reassuring promise. He no longer blindly clinged to Pei Zhe as usual. When Pei Zhe was away, he would find his own business to do, and gradually began to contact Boyu and the others.

When the public opinion on the Internet was raging, all members of First seemed to be reclusive, keeping their ears to the outside world, and only focused on resuming the summer game.

Before formally contacting First, Jiang Yunqi spent a whole week quickly reviewing the entire summer game, and then said bluntly to the whole team: "The summer game really didn't play well."

Everyone was silent. In fact, each other knew this point, but now the captain picked it up in person, and it was a lie to say that they were not ashamed.

Then, without concealment, Jiang Yunqi said loudly: "The responsibility lies with me."

"I am not in a good state, and I failed to face it with everyone. It is my serious dereliction of duty as the captain. I would like to apologize to everyone."

"sorry."

Jiang Yunqi got up, faced the screen, and bowed deeply to all First members.

Boyu was shocked: "No—no, Yunshen—Captain—fuck! Xue Minghuai! Why are you dragging me!?"

Xue Minghuai stared at Jiang Yunqi on the screen, with a smile on his mouth, and said nothing.

Liu Zhi hangs his eyes and said softly, "I am also responsible."

Jiang Yunqi straightened up and said to Liu Zhi: "The coach has done a good job. I watched the regular season and it was really difficult. Boyu was restrained by YE's main force for too long in the second half, which caused Xue Minghuai to be affected. But later Xia Min played well in the middle of the process, and so did Xing Lan."

Hearing this, Xia Min burst into tears: "No...Captain, if it wasn't for Brother Minghuai, I would have died in the second round."

Jiang Yunqi smiled: "So you cooperated well with Lu Xinglan later on, it seems that you were motivated."

Xue Minghuai squinted his eyes and smiled: "This is called being brave after knowing shame."

Xia Min sniffled: "Yeah... I'm too bad, too shameful."

Lu Xinglan sighed, and patted Xia Min on the shoulder twice.

Boyu: "..."

Xia Min was full of emotions, which made the scene develop in a sensational direction. Lin Xiyao stopped immediately, and said to Jiang Yunqi with a smile: "We will play hard in the winter competition! Know your shame and be brave!"

Xue Minghuai raised his index finger and shook it left and right, saying profoundly: "Winter competition is not about knowing shame and then being brave, it is about the return of the king."

Boyu was pouring water, and when he heard the last four words, he sprayed them out, cursing: "Can you get two more points?! I thought you had so much connotation..."

Liu Zhi laughed for a while, and asked Jiang Yunqi, "Are you coming back for the winter games?"

Jiang Yunqi nodded: "Hit."

The other side of the screen was suddenly excited, looking at each other, they both felt a surge of excitement strongly and undoubtedly.

Boyu simply stood up: "Let the YE gang see! What is strength! The Internet is always bad-mouthing us as First, and there will be no First after the spring competition! I am! Wait and see, the winter competition is a Jedi, and the king returns!"

Xue Minghuai rolled his eyes and counterattacked: "Didn't hit the second grade? This time it's boiling?"

Boyu didn't bother to talk to him.

Jiang Yunqi said sincerely: "Actually, I haven't touched the keyboard for a long time. I don't know if the hand speed will affect it. I will strengthen my practice during this time."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

So, that afternoon, Jiang Yunqi followed the youth trainees online and played a round of the rematch training match arranged by Liu Zhi.

In the end, Liu Zhi forced Jiang Yunqi to withdraw from the competition: "Your veteran hand speed is still the first level in the world competition, so don't discourage the good seedlings I have worked so hard to recruit."

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

At the end, Liu Zhi hesitated to speak, and finally said bluntly: "God Yun, be more confident. The king Xue Minghuai said is really not putting a high hat on you—we are not that thick-skinned."

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

"You also took the team name First, but we didn't want to be so high-profile."

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

"You have time to go to the First fan club to see, as well as your highlight clips, the latest barrage is looking forward to the return of the king."

"—Be confident."

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

Jiang Yunqi was inexplicably embarrassed by Liu Zhi's words, and Xue Minghuai and Boyu almost went crazy laughing behind Liu Zhi.

In addition to replaying the summer competition, finding out weak points, and strengthening training to prepare for the winter competition, one of First's daily routines is to follow up the official third-level helmet review.

This incident triggered the most stringent censorship mode in the history of Jedi Sniper, which is comparable to "third-party intention appeal". At the beginning of its launch, it set off a wave of public opinion on the Internet.

With the deepening of the investigation, the tricks of the winter competition of the previous year gradually surfaced.

Judging from the evidence disclosed so far, it is true that someone took advantage of the loopholes of the third-level helmet and the instant kill display, but the official has not announced who the instigator is for a long time.After further investigation into the Paris World Championships, when the evidence first appeared, Song Shao was directly taken out to sacrifice the flag, and the Internet suddenly turned upside down. Those who scolded Song Shao could line up all the way from Europe to China, almost like rats crossing the street.

But after that, until recently, there was no official news. Seeing that the winter competition is only half a month away, an official statement can't be held back.

Xue Minghuai saw the subtle difference before and after, and scolded coldly: "Would you fucking want to keep P11?"

Boyu remained silent, and said after a while: "Li Kun contacted me a few days ago, he is going to be a volunteer for the World Championships, he told me that the Jedi sniper executives are not willing to give up P11 so casually, maybe in the end Yan Yu is banned from the game, but as the captain, he probably won't interfere... After all, this involves the follow-up development of P11." Boyu said to Jiang Yunqi, who was thinking on the other side of the screen: "I still remember the day we were arrested Yan Yu stopped, what did Yan Yu say?"

Xue Minghuai was puzzled: "What did he say?"

"He said: 'As long as the entire Asian server has existed, his P11 has been standing for as long.'"

Xue Minghuai was taken aback, while Liu Zhi bowed his head and remained silent.

This is a fact, an indisputable fact.

After a while, Liu Zhi said: "It can be said that for a long time, the Asian server was equal to P11, and P11 was equal to the Asian server. You can see it when you look at Yi Xuan back then. Although it is different now, in the eyes of the European headquarters, The impact of P11 cannot be underestimated."

Xue Minghuai was furious: "So you just let Yan Yu go like this?! Let him go back and be his captain with peace of mind?! Suspended! No use!"

Liu Zhi said in a deep voice: "There is no concrete result yet, let's wait. The Asian server is important, but they also know that this trend cannot last, and relevant measures will definitely be introduced in the future. It depends on whether the strength is what we want... ..."

After a long time, Jiang Yunqi said: "In the final analysis, the small and medium-sized teams in the Asian server cannot develop. Although the North American team is dominated by M19, they are an alliance competition mechanism. In other words, each team has an independent opportunity to participate in the battle. Not to mention the European arena, there is almost no such a dominant team as P11, and there will always be a new team in the next year's World Championship, there is never a shortage of fresh blood, and it can maintain a certain degree of vitality."

Liu Zhi: "Yunshen is right. P11 brings opportunities to the Asian server, but also brings long-term limitations."

Lu Xinglan said sharply: "Unless the authorities severely punish P11, this situation will continue..."

Xue Minghuai: "That's not true. In the spring competition, we were eliminated in P11, and it will only get weaker and weaker. This time it depends on the official attitude."

"If they want to keep Yan Yu's P11 captain position, we will completely kick them out in the winter competition."
