Warm Water Spirits

As early as two weeks ago, the rosters of each team had been submitted online.On the last day of the training camp, the officials once again asked the captains of the 25 teams to sign offline to confirm the teams participating in the three finals.

The new competition system has just been established, and there will always be back and forth in the procedure.But this is not a bad thing, everything is for the smooth and smooth progress of the game.

When Jiang Yunqi and Wei Yijia, Su He and Xie Fei entered the meeting room together to sign the confirmation list, GONG captain Era had just signed, with an indifferent expression, and passed them by.

Su He turned his head and glanced at Era's back: "I heard that they are also the second team in the second game this time..."

Xie Fei recalled: "I looked at the online roster before, and the second team rarely started. The first team started with a set pattern, the second team competed in the midfield, and finally let the first team make a final decision. Of course, there are still some teams that have no No second team..."

Wei Yijia smiled after hearing this, feeling that Xie Fei was very polite.

Jiang Yunqi didn't speak, and went in to sign.

First was at the top of the list. Jiang Yunqi carefully read the playing order of the first team and the second team and the names of the players, then took a pen and signed his name on the last square.

Next came Sed Wei Yijia who ranked second.

Su He's Infinite is on the fifth row, below YE.

GOG did not perform well this time, and fell out of the top ten, just the third row below GONG.

Xie Fei counted down with his index finger, passed GONG and glanced intently, immediately frowned, raised his head and said to the three captains waiting for him: "GONG changed the command position of the second team just before the battle."

Jiang Yunqi stared at him for a few seconds, did not speak, and moved his gaze to the list.

Su He and Wei Yijia also looked at the list.

On the tenth row of GONG, at the roster of the second midfield team, the original name of the command position has been crossed out with a black signature pen and replaced with the handwritten Era.

Su He stared at the list, cursing in a low voice: "It's fucking okay? You can change it if you want? What's the reason? Home court advantage?!"

Wei Yijia and Jiang Yunqi looked at each other with serious expressions.

It's too weird, but it seems to be understandable.

The strange thing is that tomorrow will be the finals, but this will suddenly replace the captain of the second team.The degree of understanding is also limited to "in case there is indeed any unexpected situation that makes the second team's command position incompetent."

Xie Fei knew a little Korean, so he picked up the list and gestured to ask the on-site staff.

The staff seemed to know that they would have doubts, and opened their mouths to explain in broken Chinese that the commander of the second team of GONG was unwell and had withdrawn from the winter competition this morning.

Wei Yijia sneered: "You don't feel well, what's wrong with you?"

The staff suddenly couldn't understand Chinese again.

The four of them looked at each other, and they had thoughts in their hearts, knowing that things were not that simple.

But in the final analysis, this is not a violation of the competition system.After all, in the past finals, if a player of the first team had an emergency, the second team needed to be replaced immediately.Vice versa, if the second team has a situation, the first team can also substitute a substitute.

It's not against the competition, and it's understandable—it's just that when all this happened to GONG, it seemed that "if something goes wrong, there must be a monster".

Jiang Yunqi went back to tell the news to the rest of First, and Xue Minghuai didn't even bother to think about what was going on: "I wondered, if Era put his mind on doing these things on the field, he wouldn't be robbing people's backs every day."

"I miss KTT back then—the dead are the most important, I really miss—if Krys hadn't had an accident, seeing the dead look of the Korean team today, wouldn't you vomit blood?"

Everyone was very angry at first, but when Xue Minghuai finished speaking lukewarmly and seemingly sighing, the atmosphere became much more peaceful.

Tomorrow's final, the afternoon training session ended, Liu Zhi didn't let them train again: "Go back and have a good rest, and go all out tomorrow."

Xia Min talked a lot less in the past few days. Compared with the anxiety when he first learned that he was going to play, after this period of training, he is much more at ease.After Liu Zhi finished speaking, he proposed to lead the second team to replay the round.

Liu Zhi agreed, and on the way back to the hotel room, he told Jiang Yunqi, "It's impossible to be without pressure. He holds the first points for the entire game. Let him replay the game so he can rest assured."

Jiang Yunqi nodded and said nothing.He has a very strange feeling.Xia Min of the second team will play tomorrow, and the command position of GONG will be replaced by Era. Jiang Yunqi feels a little worried about these two apparently unrelated events.

I was going to talk to Pei Zhe about this at night, but Pei Zhe didn't reply until I went to bed after sending the voice message on WeChat.

Jiang Yunqi checked the flight time and calculated the time. If there is a direct flight from Los Angeles to Seoul, then Pei Zhe should be on the plane, so he didn't ask any more, and scrolled up and down the chat list. Yunshen, who was quite expressive, turned his head and asked. A Sui recent situation.

At the end of the phone call a week ago, Jiang Yunqi suggested that if he really couldn't stand Huo Xiangshu's "good wife and loving mother", he could go back to live with him for a while.Aunt Song always wanted him to live back.

Ah Sui suddenly faltered, and didn't say whether it was good or bad.

In fact, at that time, Jiang Yunqi didn't quite understand where Ah Sui's hesitation came from.

He clearly said he didn't like it, and he was the one who said he was straight, so what the hell is Huo Xiangshu?

After Ah Sui's proficient defensive posture and evasive posture all failed, Huo Xiangshu became his exception.

Further, when he was sure that Huo Xiangshu really wanted to treat him well, he began to hesitate again.

The two of them didn't talk about this profound and complicated issue in the next few chats, and Jiang Yunqi gradually got used to the words Huo Xiangshu that occasionally appeared in Ah Sui's mouth.

In the eyes of others, only one party's contribution is not enough to make mutual affection.But Ah Sui is different, he cherishes every little bit of kindness that appears around him, and at a certain moment he is willing to ignore it and die.

Therefore, Jiang Yunqi gradually understood why Ah Sui was reluctant to part with Huo Xiangshu, and after Huo Xiangshu became an exception, he gradually became Ah Sui's special.

As for what results this special will bring, no one knows.

The weather on the day of the finals could not be better.

The wind was strong all night, and the temperature dropped straight after getting up early, but the haze and mist that had been in the past few days were blown away.

When Jiang Yunqi led the team downstairs to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, he casually sent Pei Zhe a photo of the blue sky and asked him if he had arrived.

Pei Zhe didn't return.

So, Jiang Yunqi stared at his phone while eating for more than ten minutes, his eyes never completely leaving the screen, his blue eyes drooping and silent.

Even though the behavior was so unusual, because Jiang Yunqi's face was too calm, other people noticed it and didn't know where to ask.

Sitting next to him, Bo Yu was inexplicably familiar with people like Jiang Yunqi in the state of being absent. He took advantage of Xue Minghuai Road Xinglan across the street to serve porridge, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yunqi shook his head, didn't speak, reached out and tapped the screen the next second, the screen sensor turned on, but there was no news.

The time shows eight twenty in the morning.

The official start time of the game is ten o'clock.

Jiang Yunqi thought, it's too late.

The chat with Pei Zhe was interrupted at noon yesterday. At that time, Jiang Yunqi was going to the conference room to sign to confirm the order of playing and the roster. Pei Zhe said that the plane will go to Seoul in the afternoon, and then they will return home together.

Jiang Yunqi sent a little black cat wagging its head and tail, it was soft and docile.

Now, Jiang Yunqi opened the chat history, stared at the little black cat for a while, and turned off the screen with a blank expression.

——Pei Zhe promised him.

Jiang Yunqi closed his eyes and took a slow breath.

In Suihu, Pei Zhe promised him.

Even if the subconscious mind knows that this situation can be explained by the delay, it is still difficult for Jiang Yunqi to adapt to the blank about Pei Zhe beyond the expected time.

This has nothing to do with emotion management.

The blankness of Pei Zhe's disappearance directly made him emotionally blank.

Bo Yu patted Jiang Yunqi on the shoulder, not knowing what to say, staring at Jiang Yunqi who would be silent, his mood sank a bit.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the Jedi Sniper Asia Winter Finals kicked off in Seoul, South Korea.

The 25 teams entered through security checks one by one.

The fans who bought the tickets for the finals had already been seated in order, waving the flag and shouting, excited and screaming one after another, the sound waves penetrated the thick outer wall of the arena, and directly impacted in front of every contestant who was about to enter.

The security level of the finals has been raised to another level.Divided into two batches, GONG and First belong to the first batch and the first team enters the field.

Jiang Yunqi was expressionless throughout the whole process, and cooperated with the staff to hand over the equipment and coat.

Era looked at it with great interest, and greeted him: "God Yun is sure?"

Behind him, Boyu silently called Amitabha.

Jiang Yunqi didn't seem to hear Era's words, and he sorted out the peripherals after the security check step by step.

Era frowned, staring at Jiang Yunqi, who looked downcast with a very calm expression: "Didn't you hear me?"

Bo Yu actually wanted to laugh a little, but he also understood that Jiang Yunqi's anomaly was very wrong, and for a moment he looked at Era's desperate appearance of slamming into the gun, but he didn't know what expression to make.

Jiang Yunqi packed his things, turned around and walked forward.

Era: "..."

Jiang Yunqi not only treats him as air, he treats everyone as air.

In the first game, the First team played.

First place in the regular season, Jiang Yunqi led Xue Minghuai Boyu and Lu Xinglan to take the lead to install and adjust the peripherals.

As soon as the silver-gray dark blue belonging to First appeared, the auditorium that had been howling and shouting suddenly burst into deafening screams!

The spiral upward metal ladder illuminated the huge First logo on the ceiling the moment Jiang Yunqi took his seat, and the three volley display screens also displayed the First team in all directions in the most dazzling way.

The first wave of warm-up for the finals has begun.

Lu Xinglan was so frightened that he was a little nervous and almost jumped up.

Xue Minghuai tut tut: "Now the support group is so strong?"

Boyu sat down and changed the peripherals: "Xiyao said that the number of Weibo fans exceeded 500 million at the end of last month."

Jiang Yunqi was the first to be seated, and he had already sorted out the peripherals as quickly as possible. He still looked indifferent, looking down at his phone.

Half an hour to the game.

Pei Zhe still didn't reply to his message.

Sitting next to him, Boyu probably understood what was going on, tapped the keyboard twice, hesitated for a few seconds and leaned over to ask Jiang Yunqi: "Your brother didn't come?"

Jiang Yunqi didn't speak, and after another meeting, Jiang Yunqi nodded.

Boyu stood up: "Where is your brother sitting? I remember that the organizers gave the team tickets in the best seats."

Jiang Yunqi said softly: "A5."

Boyu counted them one by one: "A5...A5...A—do you think that is it? Ah—no—I misunderstood—"

When Boyu said "see if that's it", Jiang Yunqi stood up abruptly and looked towards the auditorium.

Without Pei Zhe.

The sharp microphone voice of the game commentator mixed with the roaring sound of the audience for a while, and it was transmitted to Jiang Yunqi's mind, but only a faint echo remained. In the depths of his mind, there seemed to be a very light and thin string, Jiang Yunqi felt the slight tremor of the string as the sound waves were threaded.

Sudden.

Boyu patted Jiang Yunqi who was still standing and didn't know where to look: "The phone is on!"

Jiang Yunqi bowed his head, and received a text message from an unfamiliar person.

screen unlock.

——"Yun Qi."

Yun Qi.

A moment of grievance and panic came over, and Jiang Yunqi even trembled a little. He bit his lip, typed three words very slowly, and sent it: "I'm afraid."

Pei Zhe replied quickly: "Not afraid."

Jiang Yunqi: "Brother Pei, what's wrong with you?"

Pei Zhe: "Something happened on the road. It doesn't matter. I'm entering the venue now. The phone belongs to someone else. I'll return it first. You can see me in a minute."

Jiang Yunqi's hand holding the phone is still a little unsteady: "I can count."

Pei Zhe said firmly: "Okay. One minute."

54 seconds later, Jiang Yunqi saw Pei Zhe stepping into the crowded arena under the instructions of the staff, walking calmly.

Pei Zhe seemed to have a calm demeanor, and row A, who had been bluffing around with all kinds of support cards, quickly restrained a lot.

Jiang Yunqi stared closely at Pei Zhe.

Pei Zhe quickly raised his eyes and looked into Jiang Yunqi's tight blue eyes. He smiled softly, as if he had been sitting there and watching Jiang Yunqi never leave.

Jiang Yunqi still stared at Pei Zhe desperately.

Suddenly, not far away, a middle-aged man dressed formally and who didn't look like a staff member came towards Pei Zhe. He seemed to have a lot to say to Pei Zhe, with a pleasant and surprised expression on his face.

Jiang Yunqi's line of sight was blocked.

But not for long.Up to ten seconds.

Pei Zhe said a few words to him, the man turned his head and looked in Jiang Yunqi's direction, then smiled and nodded to leave.

Jiang Yunqi stared at Pei Zhe again.

Seeing this, Lu Xinglan was a little dazed, her eyes flicked back and forth between Team Jiang and the man on seat A5.

Xue Minghuai took a few glances, didn't know what to say, and started playing minesweeper by himself.

Boyu was funny and playful, tugged Jiang Yunqi's sleeve, and said to Team Jiang with a rare coaxing tone: "God Yun, let's see after the competition."

Pei Zhe felt a little distressed by Jiang Yunqi's serious gaze, sighed helplessly, and said something to Jiang Yunqi for a moment.

Jiang Yunqi was engrossed and naturally understood.

Pei Zhe said, "Okay, baby."
