For Love of the Game

"you lose."

These words exploded in Xiao Zhang's ears like thunder, making his ears ring.

He couldn't believe that he would lose, and he couldn't believe that he would lose to Shen Huai twice!

How could a new e-sports rookie who has only finished two official games be able to defeat his battle-tested God of War ace?

Xiao Zhang's eyes were red, his face was black as if he wanted to eat people, his cheeks were tense, and his clenched teeth could almost be seen.

He stood up abruptly, and walked out without saying a word, Shen Huai grabbed his arm with quick eyes and hands.

"You lost, apologize to my teammates."

"Apologize?" He sneered, and couldn't help trembling when he saw the vicious look, "I promised to apologize?"

Shen Huai didn't expect Xiao Zhang to be such a scoundrel with his status in the e-sports circle, but he had already experienced this person's ability to beat back, so he reserved his hands beforehand.

"I have a video of the game just now. If you don't want me to send it out, you can apologize to my teammates. You said it yourself, right? The strong are respected!"

Shi Yi wanted to say it was fine, but Fan Jingming held down his shoulder.

What Shen Huai said is correct, the strong are respected, this is Xiao Zhang's own survival rule, and he must abide by it.

Xiao Zhang's fists were clenched loudly, his face was livid, as if he was about to rush up and throw Shen Huai to the ground in the next second, Fan Jingming secretly grabbed the chair beside him, as long as Xiao Zhang dared to do something, he would never let him get out of this place Room.

The room was silent for two or three seconds before Xiao Zhang walked up to Shi Yi with a sullen face.

All eyes were fixed on him, he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry."

Fan Jingming's hand loosened, and Shen Huai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Xiao Zhang suddenly got into trouble, raised his leg and kicked Shi Yi's chest, Shi Yi was kicked two meters away without any precaution and groaned, and directly hit the cabinet in the corner.

Fan Jingming picked up the chair at hand and slammed it on Xiao Zhang's back, then patched his leg, and Xiao Zhang fell to the ground with a thud.

Fan Jingming's eyes were red with anger, he picked up the chair and wanted to smash it again, Shen Huai rushed up and grabbed the chair leg.

Shen Huai frowned as if he was enduring something, but soon relaxed, "Brother Ming, it's alright."

Fighting during the game was found to be suspended. Now that both of them have fought, they will definitely not take the initiative to speak out, but if something happens, it will not be so easy to get over.

Fan Jingming was so angry that his chest heaved, but since Shen Huai spoke, he put down his chair and walked to the corner to hug Shi.

Shi Yi was kicked hard enough by this kick, as if a heavy stone was pressed on his chest, he couldn't breathe, there was something buzzing in his head, he couldn't exert any strength, he leaned against Fan Jingming's arms Close your eyes, the uncomfortable look makes people feel distressed.

"You go."

Shen Huai said to Xiao Zhang on the ground that even though it was completely different from his original intention, he apologized and was beaten up, so it would be meaningless to stay any longer.

"We will settle the rest in the official competition."

Xiao Zhang grinned, got up from the ground unsteadily, and limped open the door.

"Shen Huai, please remember, this matter is never over, there will always be a day when you fall into my hands, let's wait and see."

The door was slammed shut, and Shen Huai quickly walked over and knelt down beside him and asked, "How is it? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Shi Yi barely opened his eyes, and slowly shook his head.

He has already caused a lot of trouble. If he goes to the hospital again, he will be easily spotted by the paparazzi. By that time, their fights during the season will be unstoppable. It is very likely that his teammates will be disqualified from the competition. This cannot happen anyway. thing.

Shen Huai used a disposable paper cup to fetch some water for him. After a while, he felt much better, and stood up with Fan Jingming's support.

"The game is almost over, right? Let's hurry up and go back."

Shen Huai estimated the time, "Let's go back now, don't tell Song Xueyang what happened here."

Both nodded in agreement.

When the three of them returned to the waiting room, Song Xueyang was about to open the door to find them, so he narrowed his eyes and looked at them.

Shi Yi didn't dare to raise his head with a guilty conscience, but he ran away because he lost the game, so no one suspected him.As for Fan Jingming and Shen Huai, one was thick-skinned and the other was calm and self-possessed, so there was nothing unusual about it.

"After a while, we won't even be able to catch up with the handshake." Song Xueyang's voice was rarely unhappy, "Why didn't I answer the phone?"

The two bosses are fighting each other, how dare they answer the phone?

"The two of us were mute and didn't hear." Fan Jingming lied.

Song Xueyang asked Shen Huai again, with a slightly slower tone, "I can't get through to your phone when I call you, is it because the signal is bad?"

Fan Jingming and Shi Yi were silent.

The captain just doesn't want to answer your call, so stop making excuses for yourself and accept the reality!

Shen Huai didn't change his face, "I can't get through to you when I call you, are you calling me?"

"possible."

"tacit agreement."

Song Xueyang immediately beamed, and the two bystanders who knew it well were overwhelmed with admiration. The explanation of talking to each other must be much more advanced than theirs!Could it be that after staying with the captain for a long time, he also played psychological tactics?

After Shen Huai fooled Song Xueyang, he felt a little guilty, "What was the result?"

When he asked such a question, Shi Yi and Fan Jingming's hearts also rose. Judging from the battle situation when they left, Fengyue was already far behind, and the sniper itself was not suitable for the ring. optimism.

Song Xueyang shook his head regretfully, and the hearts of the few people were even more up and down.

"draw."

Everyone's eyes widened suddenly.

draw!

Not to mention that it is already very rare to recover from the gap that fell behind when Shi Shi left the stage, and a draw in the ring is very rare in professional leagues.

If it is said that the arena is tied, plus one win and one loss in the first two games, the total score is also a tie.

Hai Xing immediately started talking, "It's not a tie. Obviously the captain killed Lei Yun first, but he died only after being hit by the half-moon slash thrown by Lei Yun before he died. The group points match does not depend on the order of death. The only rule is that we win!"

Shi Yi suddenly became happy, and the boredom in his heart suddenly disappeared. Anyway, they didn't lose this time, and he still has a chance in the future games.

Seeing the smile on that little face, Fan Jingming and Shen Huai felt relieved.

Shen Huai moved closer to Song Xueyang, and asked in a voice that the two of them could hear, "You don't know how to release water, do you?"

"Am I such a benevolent captain? It's really hard not to see all Thunder members shave their heads."

Shen Huai really couldn't tell the truth from the pained look on his face, but he would know whether it was intentional or not after watching the replay of the game.

"Captain," Fan Jingming walked over, his face was so serious that one couldn't help but become serious, "I have something to tell you."

When the two left the waiting room, Shi Yi worried that Fan Jingming would tell the story of their encounter with Xiao Zhang, so he looked anxiously at Shen Huai.

Shen Huai gave him a reassuring look. Even if Fan Jingming really wanted to say it, there was no need to call Song Xueyang out in front of his face. He must have something else to do.

At the end of the game, the players from both sides shook hands. Because it was a draw, everyone in Thunderbolt didn't have to shave their heads. Everyone was very happy. When they saw Fengyue and everyone, they were as excited as seeing their own brothers.

Si Qianjin held Shen Huai's hand tightly, "Yu Shen is really powerful, you can't accept it, next time you meet me, you will definitely impress me."

Shen Huai nodded, but frowned tightly, his patience made Si Qianjin wonder if he had beaten too well and disappointed the male god, and the joy of the rest of his life suddenly disappeared.

After the game, Song Xueyang made a simple post-match summary and took Zhou Jing to participate in the interview. Although Maple Moon lost in the two-player arena, Zhou Jing's performance was remarkable, and she could adapt in advance when taking newcomers to the interview.

Shi Yi's condition improved a lot, Hai Xing ignored Fan Jingming's warning eyes and tried his best to comfort him. Although the words he said were a bit mentally retarded, the two still reached a deep brotherhood.

Hai Xing patted his chest and promised, "From now on, the two of us will be the strongest buddies. If anyone bullies you, I will never let him go!"

Shi Yi reminded in a low voice, "I, I am older than you."

"But you are shorter than me! You look just like my younger brother, oh, no matter, brother and brother are code names, the key is our indestructible brotherhood!"

Zhou Ning couldn't help but want to laugh, he shook his head and got up and sat beside Shen Huai.

Shen Huai was watching the replay of the game just now. Zhou Ning saw him replay the last ten seconds two or three times, "Is there something wrong?"

Shen Huai shook his head, "The captain is very powerful."

He could see clearly that Song Xueyang used an instant-explosive bomb to kill Leiyun in the end, but in fact, his "gunner's intuition" CD was ready, and he could completely avoid Leiyun's half-moon slash with one move and hit him at the same time. Killing, Shen Huai repeatedly played back and counted his CDs.

If it is placed on someone else, it may be explained by a mistake, but if Song Xueyang is weak, it is absolutely impossible to be a mistake.

It's just that there are very few people who can see this and believe in Song Xueyang's strength. After all, he still didn't let Thunder take the road of shaving the heads of all members. I don't know if it was because of his own words before the game.

Thinking of Song Xueyang's regretful look, Shen Huai wanted to laugh.

Zhou Ning is obviously used to it, "Although the fox is a little unreliable at ordinary times, he is always very reliable in critical moments. If Fengyue did not have him these years, he would have collapsed long ago, and I would not stay here for so long."

Shen Huai put away his mobile phone, "Why did you choose to play e-sports in the first place?"

The Maple Moon Club broke the news that Zhou Ning was a top student, and his college entrance examination scores were enough to be admitted to a national key university, but he gave up.At that time, Zhou Ning's explanation was that he wanted to realize his dream, but after Shen Huai joined the team, he heard Brother Kun accidentally vomit. Zhou Ning didn't even know how to use a computer when he first joined the team.

Zhou Ning laughed silently. If someone else asked this question, he would definitely not answer it, but for Shen Huai, he felt that there was no need to cover it up.

He rested his chin on one hand, and his eyes fell on the clock on the wall, "Because I want to prove that I can do it myself."

He didn't say anything later, and Shen Huai didn't ask again. He could hear that this question involved Zhou Ning's privacy, and he wasn't a person who liked to spy on other people's past.

Zhou Ning's cell phone vibrated and a WeChat message popped up. Shen Huai was also attracted by the sound. He glanced subconsciously and then looked away. Zhou Ning also put away his cell phone, "I'm a little worried about Xiao Jing, let's go and see ?”

"it is good."

Shen Huai followed him out the door, pretending he didn't see anything.

I just couldn't help being curious.

The sender of that WeChat message is a row of ellipses, and the content is only one sentence "Come on [emoji]". The historical information on it shows that this person also sent similar words yesterday, but they didn't get a response from Zhou Ning.

Zhou Ning treats people leniently and politely, so he should not do such a thing of not replying to the message.

And that person's profile picture looks familiar.

Shen Huai suppressed the doubts in his heart, and walked to the door of the interview room with Zhou Ning.

There was a burst of laughter from inside, and the two looked along the crack of the door, and Lei Ting's Si Qianjin and Lei Huo were also inside.

The idea was brought up by Si Jin. When he walked into the interview room, he saw Song Xueyang and suggested that everyone interview together. The two teams are famous for their personal friendship. Since the captains are not shy about it, the reporters certainly wanted it.

The reporter seemed to be asking Si Qianjin how he commented on Song Xueyang. Si Qianjin was very proud of his old friend, what player he admired the most, his ability to lead a team is very strong, and he is also his strongest opponent.

In order to prove that the two have a good relationship, he asked back at the end, "Hey Lao Song, am I the player you admire the most?"

Song Xueyang nodded to save face, and immediately a reporter teased, "What about Yushen?"

Song Xueyang made a hush gesture, "It's my favourite."

"yooo!"

The audience booed, because Song Xueyang's words and deeds were generous, and many contestants in the circle were full of flirtatious words, and they didn't shy away from joking, but no one thought in the wrong direction.

Boss Si Qianjin was upset, "Song Fox, you really have a new love and forget the old love. What would you say to me when you swore to each other? Now that you turn your face, you are not a human being. Could it be that someday you and Cang Yu will get a certificate? You still have to ask me to be a witness?"

Song Xueyang gave him an affirmative look from across the air, "That's it, don't forget to pay with the share, double share."

There was another burst of laughter in the room.

Shen Huai: "..."

He shouldn't have come here!

Zhou Ning said awkwardly, "Why don't we go back first."

The two turned around and were about to leave, but a reporter spotted them sharply.

"Feather God!"

"God Feather, don't go!"

Immediately someone pushed the door open, Shen Huai put his hand in his pocket, as if he didn't hear it, he quickened his pace, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The two who had played around in the interview room instantly regained their seriousness, looking as stable as Mount Tai, but in fact they were panicked.

Zhou Jing silently glanced at the two, heh, man.
