For Love of the Game

Shen Huai walked to Song Xueyang's side and said softly, "Thank you."

Song Xueyang stood on his left side, blocking his injured hand, "How are you?"

Shen Huai said indifferently, "Fortunately, I can persist until the end of the game."

"You..."

"Ok?"

Shen Huai turned his head, Song Xueyang looked normal, but he vaguely felt that he heard a low sigh just now.

The person who played the second round was Fan Jingming. He obviously had the determination to win, and he played very aggressively at the beginning.

Fan Jingming has a good appearance and has many female fans. Although he hasn't had any remarkable achievements since his debut, he has never been a hindrance. After many years, he has become a little famous. Seeing him playing in the ring, the fans are so excited that they almost climb up from the audience.

"Xiao Ming usually plays more 6V6 and rarely participates in the ring, but this may also be related to his previous profession. In the past few seasons, he played ice magic, holy light, and spells, all of which are not suitable for 1V1. The season's berserkers can fight in the ring."

Yao Jun nodded, "Xiao Ming is actually a player with great potential. He and Zhou Ning are both the oldest members of the Maple Moon team and have rich experience in the competition. In contrast, Yinhe is a young rookie player. There is no sweetness in hand."

Yao Jun deserves to be the captain of the Chinese team when he had the best performance, and he has a very accurate eye for people.With Fan Jingming in full swing, there was almost no suspense in this round, but he won the game in just 5 minutes.

When Zhou Ning came on stage, 20% of the health of the players in the third round of the Galaxy had been consumed. He was a steady type, and he would not lose in the dominant round. He won the victory in the ring with his crushing strength.

The three consecutive victories in the 1V1 wheel battle boosted the morale of the whole team. Seeing the seniors playing so hard, the little ones were also excited and eager to play.

Song Xueyang briefly talked about the core of this 6V6 match, then called the players to play, and said two words to Shen Huai softly before leaving, "Wait for me".

This 6V6 mode is still an offensive and defensive battle. Fengyue's single-handed guerrilla fights are elusive, and Galaxy's command is still not in the air. Under Song Xueyang's clear thinking and unpredictable tactics, he was defeated.

Song Xueyang was playing fast break in this round, the pace was so fast that the audience couldn't react, the battle ended before the two sides reached 100 hits, even Zhou Ning, his old partner, felt a bit difficult, and several new players even He let out a long sigh of relief.

Although Hai Xing was very tired, he obviously liked this passionate fighting style very much. He was in extremely good condition, and was directly arranged by Song Xueyang to fight the next 2V2.

Zhou Jing inherited Zhou Ning's strengths, and she was very calm on the stage. The combination of her and Hai Xing's cold and hot combination made the enemy complain.

Fengyue VS Galaxy won three consecutive victories with a one-sided advantage.

The game score is 3:0!

There was cheering on the field, and the teammates also swept away the haze of yesterday, sharing the joy of victory with each other.

Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, Shen Huai couldn't help but also put on a smile. He had been worried that his teammate's game status would be affected by his own reasons. At this time, the tense strings were put down, and he was sincerely happy.

"Zhou Ning, take Zhou Jing and Hai Xing to the interview after the game, and Shen Huai and I will go shopping." Song Xueyang ordered.

Zhou Ning was a little strange, "Okay, what are you going to buy?"

Hai Xing came over with his ears pricked up, "We agreed to invite everyone to have hot pot tonight, are you going to run away?"

Song Xueyang tugged at his ear, "Fuck you, we'll come back after we finish shopping, and when you get back to the hotel to pack up, start off first, and send me the location when you get there."

Hai Xing rescued her ear from Song Xueyang's clutches, "For the sake of your dinner tonight, Master Xing won't bother with you."

After speaking, I happily went to play with my new younger brother Shi Yi.

After the team manager found out about the situation, he drove the two of them to a nearby hospital without saying a word. He looked at Shen Huai's little finger that was swollen like an eggplant, and his heart ached.

"You're really good. If you persist in the game like this, what if there are any sequelae? Xueyang, what's the matter with him?"

Song Xueyang just hung up the phone, got in the car and started contacting the club owner, asking him to find a way to suppress Shen Huai's injury in the game.

"I haven't had time to ask," he said, turning his head, "Yesterday, when you ran after him, what happened?"

This is the only time Song Xueyang thought about, and if it wasn't related to his teammates, Shen Huai wouldn't want to hide his injury so much.

"yesterday……"

Just as Shen Huai said two words, Song Xueyang's cell phone rang again. He looked at the caller ID and signaled Shen Huai to wait for him for a while.

"What's the matter, Sister Nana? Well... I have something to do here." After that, there was a long silence.

Seeing Song Xueyang looking down at him, Shen Huai guessed that Hu Nana had already told him what happened.

"Yeah...I don't blame you...we're going to...well, I see, thanks."

He hung up the phone and said to the manager, "Brother Kun, let's go to XX Hospital. Sister Nana helped us contact the doctor there. God of War is a local team in Chengdu, and Sister Nana knows more about this place."

The manager was surprised, "Captain Hu? How did she know we were going to the hospital?"

After speaking, he glanced at Shen Huai in the rearview mirror and immediately understood what was going on.

"Could it be that Xiao Zhang?"

His voice became serious, and when he saw that Shen Huai was silent, he immediately cursed, "Damn, he really didn't pay attention to us Fengyue, what kind of bird is their God of War, they bully people like this even if they win the runner-up, if they really win the championship Do you have to be a bully for him? He dared to hit people during the competition, and I will report him tomorrow!"

Shen Huai disagreed, "Other people in God of War are innocent. If you report Xiao Zhang, we will be implicated. God of War's competition this year is also completely over. Xiao Zhang's own fault, there is no need for others to follow suit."

The manager glanced at him, and immediately fell silent, as if he had done something wrong.

Song Xueyang nodded, "That's right, we and Xiao Zhang's account will be settled on the field."

Seeing Song Xueyang supporting him without even thinking about it, Shen Huai's heart warmed up, "How did Captain Hu know about this?"

Xiao Zhang's character is stubborn and strong, no matter how he thinks about such things as losing to himself and doing it right, he will not say it by himself.

Song Xueyang said with a smile, "His leg was limped, and he couldn't hide it for an hour."

Shen Huai: "..."

He remembered Fan Jingming's kick towards Xiao Zhang. Now that he thinks about Fan Jingming's height, a single slap might break the bridge of his nose, let alone a kick. This time everyone is even. up.

When they arrived at the hospital, they quickly found the doctor recommended by Hu Nana. This doctor was the director of the Orthopedics Department and had rich experience. He glanced at it and said, "The knuckles are misaligned, go upstairs and take a picture."

Shen Huai went upstairs to take an X-ray again, but he didn't see any problem, but the doctor told him that he must set the bone immediately.

But the good news is that the injury is not serious, and it will heal in about two to three months after bone setting, and there will be no sequelae if the recovery is proper.

Only then did the two feel relieved. Song Xueyang asked the team manager to go back first, and kept it a secret from everyone for the time being. He sent a message to Zhou Ning, saying that there was a traffic jam on the road and let them eat first.

When Shen Huai came out, Hu Nana also came, she saw Shen Huai wearing a fixed finger and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."

Seeing Xiao Zhang's limping walking posture after returning to the team that day, she was keenly aware that something was wrong. It may be that women are always very accurate about bad things. She guessed half of things right with just a few words. Xiao Zhang saw her Guess is almost inseparable, so I just confessed.

She asked Shen Huai repeatedly if she was injured, and Xiao Zhang was so angry that he simply closed the door and ignored her, but judging from his attitude, he should not be injured.

Hu Nana thought so, so she didn't contact Song Xueyang too much.But when she saw the referee pulling the red light today and Shen Huai missed consecutive moves, the alarm bells rang in her heart, and her intuition told her that this matter must not be as simple as tactics.

Cang Yu's style of play has always been to win by surprise, this kind of psychological warfare mode of intentionally making mistakes to deceive the enemy's skills is more like Song Xueyang's style.

Thinking of this level, she guessed that there was something wrong with Shen Huai's hand.

After listening to her explanation, Shen Huai was speechless. He only felt that the girl's carefulness was far beyond his imagination, and her intuition was also frighteningly sharp. Sure enough, to be the captain, one has to have some housekeeping skills.

Hu Nana learned that Shen Huai's hand would recover after two months, and she finally felt relieved, "Shen Huai, although your strength is comparable to the first-class masters in the circle, you are not familiar with this circle after all. Xiao Zhang is an example, but Not the only one, you have to be more careful."

Shen Huai was lectured again, and Hu Nana left.

Song Xueyang put his shoulder on his shoulder, "Going to eat something?"

"Aren't you going back to have a round with everyone?"

"I'm sure I won't be able to catch up."

Shen Huai was speechless, "Then you still tell them you'll be there later."

Song Xueyang asked back, "I'm not lying, are they willing to eat hot pot obediently?"

"..."

Well, there is some truth to that too.

The two found a restaurant with a small family and asked for a private room. Song Xueyang finally found Shen Huai's bandaged hands pleasing to the eye.

Shen Huai took the initiative to pour wine for him, "Thanks to you for today's game."

He said this sincerely. His hands were in worse condition than he imagined. He thought he could barely last a game, but in the end he only hit two quadruple hits before something went wrong. If it wasn't for Song Xueyang's pre-match guidance, he would I'm really not sure I can win.

Hearing this, Song Xueyang put down the glass again when he reached his mouth, and pulled a chair to sit beside him.

Seeing him getting so close, Shen Huai's heart tightened, and suddenly he remembered the kiss last night in his mind, and he was so nervous that he didn't dare to move.

Song Xueyang pulled Shen Huai's uninjured hand and snapped out a finger, "PK with other team members privately."

"Run out without watching my game."

"Hiding the hurt."

"Play with injuries."

"Do not obey the captain's arrangement."

Counting one, he broke off one of Shen Huai's fingers, touched each of the five fingers into his palm, and then raised his head, "How many mistakes did you say you made?"

Shen Huai was so ashamed by his coaxing the child, he quickly withdrew his hand, "I see."

Song Xueyang's low laughter made his ears turn red.

"Would you blame me if I let you go today regardless of your wishes?"

Shen Huai was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "You are doing it for my own good."

"What for you?"

Shen Huai thought for a while, "In order not to aggravate my condition."

Song Xueyang laughed again, but this time he didn't say anything.

Shen Huai wouldn't understand his idea of ​​wanting him to stand at the top of e-sports players, and he wouldn't care how much rumors would be caused if he lost a game. He was simply worried that his situation would affect the state of his teammates.

"So I am very grateful to you." Shen Huai said earnestly, "Choose to support me and help me in such a hasty and urgent situation. Joining Fengyue is the most correct decision I have made. If it were someone else, I would definitely not be able to make it at this point."

Song Xueyang felt that his heartbeat had stopped, and even his breathing was so light that there was no sound. He looked at Shen Huai who couldn't move his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He said slowly, "As long as it is what you want to do, I will support it. As long as it is the path you choose, I will accompany you on it."

Shen Huai clenched his fingers unconsciously, and Song Xueyang's eyes were so gentle that he couldn't get out after falling into them.

He coughed lightly and asked, "How do you know the Galaxy players so well?"

"I watched a few games of their team's audition. I can remember the usual style of play of ordinary players as long as I watch it."

If these words came from other people's mouths, Shen Huai would still not believe it, but Song Xueyang was the type who was good at detecting people's hearts.

"In this case, why don't you talk about your opponent's style of play before every game?"

Shen Huai didn't understand that if he could rely on Song Xueyang's command to win the game when he was injured, someone else would definitely be able to perform better. Wouldn't Fengyue be invincible then?

Seeing his thoughts, Song Xueyang was a little helpless, "No matter how good my tactics are, not every team member can realize them perfectly. You have a good overall view and basic skills, so you can successfully complete these operations. Others may not be able to do it. Furthermore, top players are well aware of their weaknesses and habits, and their behavior cannot be judged 100% by data. For example, you have different play styles in each game, even if you know the sequence of moves, it is difficult restraint."

Shen Huai was a little embarrassed by his praise, "But there are still few top players."

Song Xueyang did not deny that there are only a few top players in the current circle, and any team that can have one is enough to enter the top eight.The masters headed by Guan He, Xiao Zhang, and Zhang Jiayan are all top experts in the world. This trick may not work against them, but it is a sharp weapon against others.

But Song Xueyang would not do that.

"They always have to leave me to go on their own. The soul of the players is to create miracles, not to imitate them. The diversity of players is the most solid backing for the team. I don't want to use my ability to change others. They should all have their own. feature."

After Song Xueyang said this, he found that Shen Huai was looking at him softly, as if he had been looking at him for a long time, and his eyes could not stop admiring him.

Song Xueyang resisted the desire to hold his hand, "What's wrong?"

Shen Huai said bluntly, "I found that you are really reliable."

Song Xueyang felt very happy in his heart, and straightened his waist, "In the future, you will find me more reliable."

Shen Huai's ears turned red, and he looked away.

Fortunately, Song Xueyang's cell phone rang again, it was Zhou Ning's call, Shen Huai heard Haixing yelling over there, everyone finished eating and Song Xueyang didn't come, and even if he didn't come, he was also abducted. Can't help feeling funny.

Song Xueyang lied, saying that the car was rear-ended on the way, and they were waiting for the traffic police on the main road. It was so cold that they didn't even have supper, and they were shivering from the cold.

Shen Huai looked at the steaming alcohol pot on the table, silently took out his phone and started recording.

Song Xueyang knew that Shen Huai was filming himself, but he still had to concentrate on acting and not make any noise. After finally comforting the little ones, he hung up the phone and went to grab Shen Huai's cell phone.

Shen Huai put his hands behind his back and refused to give him, "This is evidence, if you make me unhappy in the future, I will show it to everyone."

"You little heartless, who am I lying for?"

Xiao Wuxin hid the phone, "If you want me to delete the video, you can..."

He thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what to ask Song Xueyang to do. He only remembered what the high school teacher often said when confiscating his classmates' mobile phones, "It depends on your performance."

Song Xueyang chuckled, poured tea and vegetables for Shen Huai hastily, scooped the hottest pork rib soup on the table into a bowl, and brought it to Shen Huai's mouth.

Shen Huai took a spoonful and tasted it, warming it from stomach to heart.

Seeing that Song Xueyang picked up his phone to reply to the WeChat message again, he thought it was from Haixing and the others, so he leaned over to look, only to see another familiar profile picture.

He had just seen this profile picture on Zhou Ning's cell phone yesterday, but the notes were completely different.The note Zhou Ning gave him was a row of ellipses, but Song Xueyang's note was Guan Team.

Shen Huai: "..."

Seeing him approaching, Song Xueyang stepped aside a bit, "Team Guan saw that your game was not in the right place today, and asked me if something happened, and said that Shi Yi sent him a message yesterday due to a mistake in the game, but after all, we are not on the same team. It’s also inconvenient for him to say anything else, which makes me bother. Guan He is really a good captain.”

After finishing speaking, he found that Shen Huai didn't seem to listen at all, and he lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

"what happened?"

Shen Huai carefully chose his words, "How is the relationship between Guan He and Zhou Ning?"

Song Xueyang's eyes lit up suddenly, "Are you also curious about their relationship?"

Looking at the blazing fire of gossip in Song Xueyang's eyes, Shen Huai thought, well, he is still different from Song Xueyang.
