For Love of the Game

On the afternoon of the 14th, Song Xueyang arrived at the official competition organizing committee of "City of Despair". After hearing the news, fans from various houses blocked the entrance.

"Snow God!" "Snow God, I love you!" "Hubby, look this way!"

Song Xueyang raised a smiling face and waved to the fans, screams came and went.

"Song Xueyang!" A voice came from behind.

A chubby man squeezed in from outside the blockade. He wore a pair of sunglasses and a black casual clothes wrapped his slightly bloated figure. He was not tall but moved very quickly. Passed by, and ran to him in a short while.

This person is the captain of the top eight Thunder team, Si Qianjin.

"Si Qianjin!" "Miss, look at me!"

Si Qianjin waved his hands at them, and before he could speak, he heard someone from the fans shout, "Brother Gui, you're getting fat again!"

Si Qianjin took off his sunglasses and stared at the crowd, "You hate me so much, are you a fan of Song Xueyang? Team Song, don't pull me, I'm going to clean up the house for you today!"

He held on to Song Xueyang's arm, and even pretended that he was being held, which made the fans laugh out loud.

When the two entered the door, Si Qianjin put his arms around Song Xueyang's neck, "Old Song, you haven't been in touch with me recently, are you so star-chasing that you don't see anyone else in your eyes? It's true that when you see a newcomer laugh, what do you hear?" The old man is crying, beeping."

Song Xueyang rubbed his stomach, "Aren't I afraid of hurting the child in your belly? Your current body is not suitable for intercourse."

Si Jinjin pushed him away, "Gotball, you pretend to be a human being in front of others, but you are actually an old dog."

Song Xueyang glanced at him lightly, "Not your dog."

"You are more dog!"

"You are the cutest."

"You can't be a dog anymore!"

After a few words of quarreling, Si Jinjin changed the subject, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Song, why didn't I understand that you can get Shen Huai into the team with your skills?"

Although Maple Moon's purpose is to create a superstar fan-attracting team, that was in the past.

Ever since Song Xueyang joined the team as the team captain, while being a fan of the competition circle to coax the club executives into a good mood, while making drastic layoffs and rectifications, his brilliance is not limited to the arena, and everyone can see that he is rushing for the trophy.

But this kind of person recruited a vase who was famous in the entertainment industry, and he had never even heard of him being interested in playing games!

When Si Qianjin saw Fengyue's official announcement of the lineup, he felt like he had heard a story. After seeing Song Xueyang's defense of Shen Huai's fans who were angry with journalists, he found that it was not just a story, but also a ghost story!

Song Xueyang asked back, "Why should I prevent Shen Huai from joining the team? I have worked so hard to poach him."

"You dug it?" Si Jinjin's eyes widened, he looked Song Xueyang up and down for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and patted him on the forehead, "What kind of magic did Shen Huai cast on you, the signal is like this across provinces good?"

Song Xueyang's forehead was patted red. Seeing no one around, he hooked his fingers mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "Shen Huai is Cang Yu."

The flesh on Si Qianjin's body trembled, and his face suddenly became serious. He pursed his lips as if he was thinking about some major event related to the future.

After a while, he waved his hand to Song Xueyang, motioning for him to come over.

Just as Song Xueyang turned his head, his ears were caught off guard, and a piercing shout exploded like a muffled thunder——

"I don't believe a word of it!"

Song Xueyang hissed, rubbed his ears and jumped away, and gave him a "believe it or not" look.

Si Qianjin snorted unhappily, "Aren't you a brother? If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Maybe I can help you! Make up such nonsense and lie to me, you think I'm a three-year-old child? Lie to a child It’s not as perfunctory as you, the traffickers know to prepare some Coke and Sprite, I’m concerned that you don’t even have a bottle of mineral water for a long time!”

As he spoke, his eyes flickered, and he gave Song Xueyang a wink, but the tone of his mouth didn't change at all, "It's superfluous for me to be friends with you, I think back when we first met..."

Song Xueyang followed his gaze and looked at the man who passed by them. The man was wearing a black team uniform, tall and straight, and looked unfamiliar. He should be a new team that passed the audition this year, but his aura was a little bit None of them look like newcomers.

When the man disappeared at the door, Si Qianjin immediately changed the subject and said in a low voice, "Did you see that man, it is said that he is Cang Yu."

"Him?" Song Xueyang looked at him amusedly.

"Don't believe me," Si Jin counted with his fingers, "Cang Yu said before that he wanted to play professionally, right? But did he look for you? Did he look for me? Did he look for any of the top eight teams? nothing."

Just as Song Xueyang was about to say something, Si Qianjin gave him a blank look, "Don't interrupt! There's nothing there, right? The guy just now was the captain of the Star Sea Squad, and the team is full of rookies. The No. Assassin, there is a word "Yu" in his name, and there are rumors on the Internet that he is Cang Yu. I watched his game video, although his ID is not Cang Yu, his style of play is very similar."

Song Xueyang became interested, "Is there any more video?"

"Didn't you read the competition materials of the audition?"

"No." Song Xueyang said innocently.

"My God," Si Qianjin took a deep breath and said in disbelief, "Song Xueyang, are you so bloated now? Don't think that there is no dark horse in the audition. I think you led the team to rush up from the audition back then. ?"

Song Xueyang rubbed his nose, well, he admitted that after Shen Huai joined the team, his attention was all on the top eight teams, and he really didn't pay attention to the teams in the group stage.

Si Qianjin called up the video from his mobile phone, and fast forwarded to the start of a wave of team battles. The assassin rushed into the battlefield with a dexterous figure and a trace of bloody skin to complete the harvest. The speed was jaw-dropping.

Seeing Song Xueyang's thoughtful look, Si Jin shook his phone as if showing off, "How is it? Do you regret not pulling Cang Yu into the team?"

Song Xueyang smiled and raised his head, "Is this the similar style of play you said?"

Si Jin was taken aback, isn't it like that?

Super high hand speed, flexible style of play, astonishing reflexes, composure to fight back with a trace of blood, aren't these all Cang Yu's signatures?

Song Xueyang seemed to see what he was thinking, "Compared to Cang Yu, he is not qualified."

That smile was so confident that it blinded people's eyes, and Si Qianjin didn't think of a line for a moment.

It wasn't until Song Xueyang was far away that he chased after him and shouted, "Don't act like Cang Yu is on your team!"

Several video cameras are set up in the meeting room where the group draw is held, and 24 chairs are placed around the oval desk.Song Xueyang happened to meet Guan He at the door. He was wearing a pure black uniform of the Xiaowolf team, and there was a wolf with its head up and howling printed on his chest.

"Team Guan." Song Xueyang greeted with a smile.

Guan He nodded indifferently and entered the room. Si Qianjin gave Song Xueyang a happy hug, "You are really good. The team members who have poached others are still ashamed to say hello to them. If I close the team, I will strangle you on the spot."

Song Xueyang was quite speechless, "Old Si, you have misunderstood me a lot."

Si Qianjin looked melancholy, "Maybe, we have also reached the seven-year itch."

Song Xueyang took his seat, and the captains of each team arrived one after another. At 3:[-] p.m., the lottery officially began.

The chairman of the E-sports Association made an opening statement, the members of the competition committee announced the lottery rules, and after the third-party notarization, finally came to the most critical part.

Everyone randomly drew a card from the box and looked at each other, but no one showed their cards.

The host said, "Everyone can show their cards."

With these words, everyone's eyes fell on the previous champion Guan He.

The Xiaowolf team has been the favorite to win the championship over the years. Since the start of the "City of Despair" professional competition, it has been able to enter the global finals every year.

Guan He simply flipped over the cards and said in a deep voice, "Group A."

Some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others looked tense.

Then there was Zhang Jiayan from the WG team. He wasn't the type to beat around the bush. Before the runner-up God of War team showed their cards, he opened his own card first, "Group A."

There was a wave of laughter in the corner, and Si Jin got up and slammed the card on the table, playing a group lottery like a king, "Group C! Hahaha!"

Perfectly staggered the two strongest teams!

There is a show!This year is very exciting, there is no pressure in the top eight!

Hahaha!Going back tomorrow, the team members will definitely give him a wolf hug!

Song Xueyang turned over the cards with a smile, "Group C."

Si Qianjin's smile froze. He didn't expect to be in a group with Fengyue again. Last year, the two families fought to the death. From the group stage to the finals, they met three times. After these three games, Si Qianjin felt that his Hair volume is reduced by half.

Is there an inside story about this group draw or is it a script specially arranged by the competition committee for the effect of the program?Knowing that he didn't want to fight Song Xueyang, he assigned them to a group, right?

It may be that Song Xueyang's behavior and Si Qianjin's pride infected the people present, and the seventh and eighth places in the last eight quarterfinals also showed their cards one after another—Group C.

Si Qianjin's face darkened. He didn't expect the groups to be so concentrated this year. Last year, Group C accounted for four of the quarterfinals. Fortunately, except for Fengyue, they are not strong teams. There is still hope.

Just as he was distracted, a high-cold female voice sounded beside him, "Group C."

There was only one girl in the entire meeting room, and that was Hu Nana, the runner-up in last year's national finals and the captain of the God of War team.

Everyone was stunned, looking at the cards in her hand as if they had become English-blind one by one.

Si Qianjin was even more obvious. He squinted and fell directly on the chair, holding back two words, "Damn!"

The final grouping results were very dramatic. In Group A, Xiaolang and WG dominated, basically cutting off the survival of other teams. In Group B, there is only Supper, the top eight teams from last year, and the qualifying is considered stable. In Group C, there are five top eight teams including Ares, Maple Moon, Thunder, Rubik's Cube, and Chenxi. According to the final rules of the top two teams in each group, it can be said that The most competitive group.

Just now I thought I would receive Si Qianjin's wolf hug from my teammates, but now I have started to consider whether I should kneel on the washboard when I go back.

As for Rubik's Cube and Chen Xi, the two teams with different strengths are already ready to meet in the loser's resurrection match.

The competition committee officially announced the competition areas for the three groups, Group A Hangzhou, Group B Nanjing, and Group C Chengdu.

That night, the chairman of the competition committee took the initiative to invite them to dinner, which is a common practice every year, and everyone did not refuse, and went to the restaurant together.

The 24 team captains gathered together, which is a spectacle that can only be seen at this time.In the audition team, there are regulars in the group stage every year, and there are also new faces who have just passed the audition this year. Everyone gets to know each other quickly after eating and drinking.

Si Qianjin took the opportunity to get close to the captain of the Star Sea Troopers and asked, "Hey, are you Cang Yu?"

The man frowned suddenly, his face turned cold, "No."

Si Qianjin left awkwardly, thinking that if he didn't admit it, he wouldn't admit it, what was he doing with such a stinky face.

But after thinking about it carefully, he feels that this character is not quite like Cang Yu. Although he doesn't know Cang Yu very well, he knows that he has a good reputation and has been very low-key for so many years after becoming famous. He is also very polite to the professional players who come to his room to watch the live broadcast.

Even if such a person is found out, he should accept it calmly, right?

Si Qianjin couldn't turn his head around, and he was too embarrassed to expose Song Xueyang's scars, so he had to bury his doubts in his heart.

Who cares, if it's Cang Yu, you'll know after one fight.

Song Xueyang was halfway through the meal, and secretly said to Hu Nana, "Sister Nana, can you do me a favor?"

Hu Nana nodded, and the two left the hotel one after the other.

The people at the table should eat and drink, but just as the door of the restaurant closed, a group of people jumped up and squeezed to the window, sticking to the glass and staring eagerly.

Just kidding, they are all old dogs who see all directions and listen to all directions on the field. As soon as you raise your hand, I will know what skills you are going to use. If you want to sneak out without disturbing them, is this realistic?

Fan Hao asked curiously, "Who knows what happened to Song Huli and Sister Nana?"

"I think there is a situation. The fox is doing it. After digging out the person from the Guan team, he came to dig up the person from Xiaozhang again. I think he changed his name to Song Di and can dig it!"

Si Jin patted his thigh, angry from the bottom of his heart, "Damn it, our professional team has only one rose, and Song Xueyang picked it up without even saying hello?"

Zhang Jiayan was even more angry, "How can you play games seriously when you are in a relationship? How can you compete with WG? Song Xueyang is too shameless!"

Si Qianjin: "..."

Team Yan, can you take your attention away from the game, we are under a lot of pressure because you are so good!

He turned his head and saw that the captain of Team Chenxi was already crying, wiping his nose with red eyes, and Si Qianjin quickly asked, "What's wrong with you!"

Tao Lele sobbed and said, "Brother Si, I, I feel uncomfortable, wow wow!"

Si Qianjin sighed, sat down beside him and poured a glass of wine, "Don't talk about it, once you say it, I feel like I've lost my love too."

Tao Lele hugged him and cried loudly, "So you like Team Song too."

fuck!

Si Jin pushed him away.

Just as everyone was discussing what happened to Song Xueyang and Hu Nana intensely, their mobile phones suddenly rang at the same time.

Everyone opened it and saw that it was a Weibo post by Song Xueyang.

In the night, he stepped on the snow, and the street lamps made his shadow slender, but he wore the simple Maple Moon team uniform neatly and handsomely.He tilted his head slightly, pointing at the earphones on his neck, the gentle smile in his eyes seemed to melt the snow, and the dim yellow streetlights made the tear moles in the corners of his eyes look like dazzling stars.

There is only one word in the whole photo - handsome!

Co-author Song Xueyang called their goddess out to help take pictures?how?Is it because you can't trust the photography skills of these old men?Why are you so smug if you don't have a New Year or a festival?

V Fengyue-Suixue: It's too late to go back and tell you in person, the gift is in your drawer, happy birthday, Shen Huai.

The team captains fell silent.

So, when they were thinking about drawing lots and how to qualify for the group stage, all this fox was thinking about was how to celebrate Shen Huai's birthday?

At this moment, everyone invariably remembered the news that Song Xueyang became a blue face in anger a while ago.

The captain is obsessed with chasing stars, this year's top eight is stable!

The people who were in despair due to grouping breathed a sigh of relief, the spirit of gossip suddenly occupied the body, and ran to search Shen Huai's Weibo at the same time.

Sure enough, within 2 minutes, Shen Huai also posted a Weibo.

In the photo, the latest Sennheiser headphones of the same model as Song Xueyang are lying quietly on the flannelette, and there is a greeting card with happy birthday beside it.

V Shen Huai: Received, waiting for your return.

Everyone watched the interaction between the two and fell into a long silence.

It's so happy to chase stars like this!
