The whole e-sports circle is waiting for me to drop the horse

Lu Chaokong was stunned.

"Actually, Brother Shen accompanied me to buy gifts today."

Ji Shiyan stroked Lu Chaokong's chest with his fingertips: "Lu Chaokong, stop being jealous now."

The boy's eyes are very focused, with a slight smile and a hint of joy that surprises others.

Lu Chaokong and those deer eyes looked at each other for a moment, then leaned over and kissed his lips.

His voice was hoarse: "Yanyan, thank you."

"Well...thank you for what..."

After Lu Chaokong's lips left, Ji Shiyan jumped out of his arms and ran out of the bathroom barefoot.

Then he ran in again, holding the other necklace of the same style in his hand, stood on tiptoe, wrapped it around Lu Chaokong's neck, and put it on carefully for him.

Ji Shiyan withdrew his hand, but still smiled at Lu Chaokong with his face up.

Lu Chaokong looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly said, "Yanyan, let me hug you again."

It's amazing.

At any moment before this second, Lu Chaokong would never have thought that the comfort that accompanied him to sleep in countless nights, and the ashes necklace of the person he loves but is forever separated from life, would be taken off, and that person would put it on another... one piece.

It's ridiculous and unbelievable to think about it, but...it is the greatest gift from God to him.

"Okay."

Ji Shiyan put his arms around Lu Chaokong's neck and jumped into his arms.

The schedule of MSI is very tight, there is no time for them to talk about love.

Lu Chao imagined.

When MSI was over, he confessed his love to Ji Shiyan and asked him if he would accept his pursuit.

If you don't want to, you can always stay by his side.

On the plane at eleven o'clock the next morning, everyone from KPG dragged their suitcases to the airport.

"Going abroad again."

Jian Beihan sighed: "The last time I went abroad to win the championship was the last time."

Ling Wang said coldly: "It was the last time you sent a mid laner to the LCK."

(LCK: Korea Division)

Jian Beihan: "?"

Jian Beihan: "What do you mean?"

Ling Wang: "One meaning."

Jian Beihan was about to get angry with him, but suddenly thought of something: "Ah, give the captain a daddy in the middle, indeed, I am your daddy."

Ling Wang: "?"

Liquor laughed beside him.

Ji Shiyan didn't understand, and tugged at Lu Chaokong's sleeve.

Liquor explained to him: "Lu Chaokong's abbreviation is LCK. Before, the Internet joked that the reason why LCK always loses to us KPG is because Lu Chaokong has his own buff."

Ji Shiyan also laughed, and he did not let go of Lu Chaokong's sleeve.

It seemed that KPG had already tacitly agreed that Lu Chaokong and Ji Shiyan were sleeping together. Tang Ping didn't realize that Ji Shiyan had only carried a small bag and walked all the way empty-handed until he checked in his luggage.

He asked, "Shi Yan, where is your luggage?"

Ji Shiyan pointed to the suitcase in Lu Chaokong's hand.

Tang Ping: "?"

Lu Chaokong: "Put it with mine."

Tang Ping: "Huh?"

Lu Chaokong glanced at him: "Didn't you book us a room together?"

Tang Ping: "I've ordered... I've ordered it."

Lu Chaokong: "Then what are you talking about?"

Tang Ping: "..."

Grass, he was speechless.

So until he got on the plane, Tang Ping kept a dark face and didn't want to talk to Lu Chaokong.

The first-class cabin of the long-distance plane was spread out into a small bed, and there was a barrier between the two seats, but Ji Shiyan still huddled in the seat, and slept all the way on Lu Chaokong's shoulder as if he didn't feel uncomfortable.

Twelve hours later, the plane landed in Los Angeles, facing a heat wave.

Jian Beihan started howling as soon as he got off the plane. He was still wearing a thin sweater and was sweating all over.

Turning around, they saw that Lu Chaokong and Ji Shiyan had already taken off their coats, and they were wearing short sleeves underneath.

Jian Beihan leaned over: "Captain, have you been to Los Angeles before?"

Lu Chaokong: "Come here."

"Eh."

Jian Beihan asked, "Are you here to play?"

Lu Chaokong: "No."

"Oh……"

Jian Beihan regretted: "That's a pity. We don't know if we will have time to play this time. The schedule is so tight. After going back to rest for a week, we will continue the summer game. I guess it's just enough to beat the jet lag."

Ji Shiyan, who was drowsy by pulling Lu Chaokong's sleeve, suddenly raised his head, his voice was nasal: "Can we take a week off when we go back?"

When he was in CJ before, he also led the team to play MSI, but after the end, he only rested for three days, and then the regular season of the summer split followed. Why did it take so long this time?

"Ah."

As if seeing what he was thinking, Lu Chaokong said: "The previous MSIs were in China and South Korea, basically there was no time difference. This time the time difference is long, and the competition team gave them more time to adjust."

Jian Beihan nodded: "That's it, no wonder we played five games in the first week and a half of the summer split, and we were exhausted."

Liquor said: "Don't worry, the MSI schedule is tighter and you will be more tired."

In the past few years, MSI has canceled the play-in competition system, and teams from the four major regions cannot directly advance to the main competition, which means that KPG needs to play more games.

Because the champion of MSI can win an extra place in the World Championship for their region, and KPG has won the championship for two consecutive years, so the expectations and pressure that fall on them are undoubtedly great.

E-sports is [-] times faster, and every minute and every second is crucial. The coaching staff only gave them two days to overcome the jet lag, and they will start high-intensity training the day after tomorrow.

The bus took them to the hotel next to the venue. Ji Shiyan yawned and walked into the room with Lu Chaokong.

It's twelve noon in Los Angeles time, Lu Chaokong put down his suitcase: "Yanyan, do you want to take a nap?"

Ji Shiyan: "Yes."

Then he closed his eyes and began to undress: "We only need to get up after an hour of sleep, otherwise I will definitely sleep through the night, and then the jet lag will not be reversed."

Lu Chaokong: "Okay, I'll set the alarm clock."

Naturally, Tang Ping didn't know that Ji Shiyan slept in Lu Chaokong's arms every night, and the rooms he booked for them were all double beds.

Ji Shiyan changed into her pajamas, stared blankly at the two side-by-side beds for a while, kicked off her slippers, and slowly climbed up to the one next to the wall.

Then he got under the covers and consciously pressed against the wall, revealing his little furry head.

Ji Shiyan was so sleepy that his eyes were hazy, but he still managed to open his eyes wide to look at Lu Chaokong, and patted the pillow next to him: "Lu Chaokong, come here quickly."

Lu Chaokong smiled, closed the curtains, lay down next to Ji Shiyan, and hugged the boy into his arms.

MSI is divided into group stage, confrontational stage and knockout stage.

The group stage is a double-loop single-elimination BO1 points match. Twelve teams are divided into four groups, and the top two in each group will advance to the match. The match system is the same as the group stage. Each team will play ten games, and the top four will be determined in the end. team advances to the knockout round.

In the knockout round, the top four teams will face off in pairs using the BO5 format, and the final final will produce the champion team.

The MSI group stage started four days later, and on the second day, Lu Chaokong and Ji Shiyan went to the training room to double row.

In the afternoon, others from KPG came.

Jian Beihan walked to Lu Chaokong's side: "Captain, you guys got up really early."

"Jet lag is reversed, and it's so healthy."

Ji Shiyan said: "I woke up at eight o'clock today."

"very nice."

Sitting next to him, Jian Beihan turned on the computer: "The configuration here is quite good, it should be an international server."

Coach Bai walked in: "Today is a training match with CJ and BU, and tomorrow we will meet with other divisions."

Jian Beihan: "Got it!"

The configuration and servers here are no different from those in China, but the amount of training has increased significantly.

On the third day, Jian Beihan suddenly started to have a stomachache. He thought it was caused by too much training and jet lag, so he didn't tell the team doctor.

As a result, on the fourth day, that is, two days before the game, his diarrhea became more serious, and the stomachache even affected the game.

Tang Ping became anxious and called the team doctor.

The efficiency of hospitals in the United States is extremely low, and they all need to be booked in advance. The competition team also invited a private doctor here to show him first.

After the examination, it was found that it was simple diarrhea, because the body was not used to the food in the United States because of the acclimatization.

So during the break at noon that day, Liquor invited Lu Chaokong, and the two champions borrowed the kitchen to cook for themselves.

As soon as he heard that Lu Chaokong was going to cook, Ji Shiyan's eyes lit up, and he followed them like a little tail, joining in the fun in the kitchen.

Liquor took a few coconuts out of the refrigerator, and said to Ji Shiyan, "Look forward to it, Lu Chaokong's cooking is delicious."

Ji Shiyan opened his eyes wide.

"I was lucky enough to eat twice, once for my birthday, and once on the night we won the S9 Spring Championship."

Liquor laughed: "No matter how much you talk about him in the future, he won't show off his skills."

But today, with Ji Shiyan here, Lu Chaokong must be in the kitchen.

So Liquor dragged him into the kitchen without hesitation.

Ji Shiyan let out another "wow".

He ran to Lu Chaokong's side: "Lu Chaokong, what are you going to do?"

"Calm down."

Lu Chaokong said, "Let everyone nourish their stomachs."

It is said to be simple, but the process is not simple. Liquor helped Lu Chaokong, and Ji Shiyan looked around like a curious baby.

In the United States, there are induction cookers, which are just right for soup.

Ten minutes later, the aroma of soup overflowed from the casserole and wafted into the air.

Ji Shiyan stared at the casserole for a long time, swallowed, and asked Liquor, "What is that?"

"Coconut Chicken."

Liquor said: "Los Angeles is near the sea, and the coconuts here are very fresh. The chicken soup that comes out will have a light fragrance of coconut, which is delicious."

Lu Chaokong put a drop of water on his fingertips on the tip of Ji Shiyan's nose: "It's almost ready."

"Try it."

When Lu Chaokong went to turn off the fire, Liquor filled Ji Shiyan with a bowl of chicken soup.

Ji Shiyan thanked him and took it.

Liquor then served soup and rice for the others, leaving only Lu Chaokong and Ji Shiyan in the kitchen.

Looking at Lu Chaokong's back, Ji Shiyan took a sip of the soup.

He was startled suddenly.

Very familiar taste.

It seems... I have eaten it somewhere before.

It is a unique taste that has been buried deep in the memory and has not been evoked for too long.

Awakened suddenly, unexpectedly unable to touch the innermost truth for a while.

Ji Shiyan took another sip, stared blankly at Lu Chaokong, desperately trying to remember where he had it before.

Sensing his gaze, Lu Chaokong washed his hands and walked over: "What's the matter?"

——He actually knew why Ji Shiyan was in a daze.

"Lu Chaokong, you..."

Ji Shiyan bit his lower lip, and after a long silence, he asked, "Have you ever made this soup for others before?"

"Ah."

Lu Chaokong said, "In the orphanage."

Before Ji Shiyan could respond, he continued, with a gentle smile in his tone: "Yanyan, after finishing MSI, do you want to visit the place where I grew up?"
