[DotA2] Holy Sword

No.20 Battle Buckler

Although the progress is getting slower and slower, even the parents feel that this is definitely a series of miracles, except for Yan Che - he stubbornly believes that An Rongyu can perform better, but the other party uses his studies. I'm afraid I didn't even get half of it.

And when he said this, An Rongyu put on an expression of "the reason is obvious", thinking in his heart: After all, more than half of his thoughts are spent on thinking about you.

By the end of this semester, Yan Che's experiment can be said to be a great success. Not only did he help his tutor complete a big project, but he also solved the most important graduation project.

The tutor, Professor Lu, was also very happy. After all, he had finished the biggest project he was currently working on. Although it was not a first for Yan Che to go to an internship, he had clearly stated that he was allowed to use the summer vacation to study questions and write exams, and then pass the project Handover to the first-year graduate student—the premise is that a small paper must be written for this project and submitted to a journal or conference.

Although the task is not too small, at least there is no need to worry about doing research.Sorting out materials is not a tiring job for him at all, and his solid basic skills also save him from spending too much time on the questions.

The rest of the problem is the small essay.Unlike writing a graduation thesis, different journals and conferences have different preferences, biases, and layouts.It is best to think clearly about which places you want to submit to before writing, and then study the style of the articles it has accepted in recent years, so as to prescribe the right medicine and get twice the result with half the effort.

When Yan Che told An Rongyu about the two meetings he was in love with now, his heart had already flown to nowhere—he never dreamed that he was finally cheated in the name of progress in the final exam The date turned out to be to sit with Yan Che in a new internet celebrity cake shop to discuss the top conference and magazine in the field of big data.

Fortunately, Yan Che quickly noticed the unnatural expression on the other person's face. He lowered his head shyly, grabbed his fluffy hair and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I've been studying this every day recently, and I'm a little dazed."

An Rongyu shook his head quickly, and said "nothing" against his conscience.Afterwards, led by Yan Che, the two chatted about some recent DotA2 battles. After all, TI is just around the corner, and most professional teams have already started retreat training.Recently, a major update has been carried out, and it happens that we can study the changed content together.

Although neither of them is a dessert lover, the desserts in this cake shop are really good, especially the matcha and chocolate series. For those who don’t like sweet and greasy taste, the slightly bitter taste will completely liberate them from the fear of sweets out.

And after An Rongyu was dragged by his mother to talk nonsense while watching Korean dramas intentionally or unintentionally, the couple in his mind should eat cake-the corners of the heroine's mouth were inexplicably smeared with cream, and then the hero would either kiss directly Get it on, lick it clean, or wipe it off with your hands, and then lick your own hands.

So, on the way to his destination, he kept thinking about how to get cream on the corners of Yan Che's mouth.However, when the other party ordered a matcha mille-feuille and an ice cream tiramisu, he felt that his smile gradually disappeared—what about lumps of cream?

Xiao Jimou was stillborn again, looking at Yan Che's pretty face, he just lost his mind.After refocusing his eyes, he realized that the white face on the opposite side had somehow been covered with dark chocolate powder.

God still favors me——An Ronghe thought so, and once again moved out of his stomach the trick that was almost killed.

"Brother, you have chocolate powder on your face." His expression at this time can already be said to be "Let me wipe it off for you" all over his face.

"Really? Where is it?" Yan Che was also a little surprised. After all, at the previous dinner table, he paid great attention to dining etiquette. Not only did he eat slowly, but he almost never got oil stains on places other than his lips.

An Rongyu pretended to be calm and stretched out his hand, and brushed Yan Che's left cheek gently and carefully, but the other party didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this, and let him fiddle with his face.

After stroking it back and forth three or four times, I finally brushed off all the thin layer of chocolate powder.Still obsessed with the touch of that face, An Rongyu stared blankly at the place where his fingers touched as if possessed, the movements of his hands became slower and slower, and finally stopped at the corner of his mouth.

"What's wrong? Can't it be wiped off?" Seeing that An Rongyu was a little strange, Yan Che couldn't help asking with concern.

"It's...it's nothing, it's all wiped off." Suddenly came back to his senses, realizing how outrageously calm and peaceful his behavior was, and for some reason, he squeezed Yan Che's face.

Although the two have been together day and night for a year and a half, and have lived outside together, physical contact is really rare, and sensitive areas like the face are even more unthinkable.

And when he was stroking lightly just now, An Rongyu could clearly feel the smoothness and tenderness of that face, and he was so addicted to it that he couldn't extricate himself.And when he was pulled back by Yan Che, the daze didn't seem to disappear, and he just squeezed it by accident.Although Yan Che's figure was thin, his face was so fleshy that it was very tactile when pinched, just like a delicious pudding.

"Brother, your face is so soft, haha." An Rongyu realized his impulsiveness, so he could only find an excuse to laugh, but in fact he was very uneasy, afraid that the other party would get angry.

"Your boy... come here, face here." Yan Che showed a smile as if he had been pranked, and then wanted to take advantage of it.

An Rongyu honestly handed over his face with clear bones - he wished Yan Che could touch him.

The other party didn't show mercy this time, stretched out his hands and pulled the sides of the wheat-colored face, and pulled it hard twice.It's a pity that An Rongyu's face really doesn't have much flesh, both sides of his cheeks are sunken with shadows, and it's difficult to lift them up.

"Cut... your face is too thin, do you usually eat well?" Yan Che seemed to feel that he had suffered a great loss, and instead blamed the other party for not realizing that he was in the development stage and needed a lot of nourishment.

"Brother, it's not that you don't know how much I eat, it's almost twice as much as you." An Rong and Wronged, they couldn't even speak clearly.

After eating the cake, the two went to watch a movie again.In fact, this kind of date has been no less than ten times, but An Ronghe knows in his heart that the relationship between himself and Yan Che is still just "friend", "brother", or "teacher-student", even after a year and a half of getting along day and night, he The two are still walking in place.

Ever since Yan Che got drunk last time, he never told him about himself.Even if he knew that Yan Che thought he was good-looking in his heart, it still didn't mean that the other party really had special feelings for him.

Although I also thought about confessing directly, but in the end I was defeated by courage. Instead of passing through the senior year in embarrassment after being rejected, and then the two of them broke off completely, it is better to just hang out with each other ambiguously.

Being able to stay with the person you like forever is perhaps the privilege of friends.

Fortunately, Yan Che never expressed any special interest in anyone else, let alone seeing him fall in love.As long as you are single, don't you still have a chance?

After falling in love at first sight a year and a half ago, An Rong and the restless young heart were finally in a trance, yearning, enduring, and looking forward to it, in countless tossing and turning nights, because the swagger was in his dreams The man who stayed here, tasted the thousands of tastes in the world.

The summer vacation of the second year of high school is no different from a year ago.It is still playing ball - homework - eating - live broadcast - tutoring - sleeping.Although the school has organized a non-compulsory make-up course project-teachers of each subject took turns to explain the classic question types of extracurricular teaching supplements, as well as previous years' college entrance examination questions from all over the country. With An Rong and his recent results, he was naturally warmly invited by the head teacher, but Without even thinking about it, he resolutely refused on the spot.

Naturally, the teachers didn't know that he had a capable helper, but they just thought it was because he was not determined enough to take the exam seriously, so they stopped persuading him and let him do it on his own.

According to the plan drawn up by Yan Che, all the homework was still completed one month after the summer vacation started.The dedicated tutor naturally assigned him a more arduous task - to die on the three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulation.

An Rongyu is more interested in chemistry and biology, and it is much easier to learn. Judging from his current grades, these two subjects will not be a hindrance, so the focus must be on subjects that are easier to get points-mathematics with physics.

The English learning plan has not changed much: memorize vocabulary for half an hour every day, write an article on reading, an article on cloze, and two compositions a week.After all, it is a cumulative subject, and it is by no means that great progress can be made overnight.

In the past, An Rongyu would have patted his ass and left long ago, but for some reason, when he thought of the smile that Yan Che always showed when he saw the homework questions he answered well, he could calmly and devotedly Finish writing one set of test papers hand-picked by the other party.

And in terms of games, An Rongyu is really talented. Even though he practiced much less than others, he still managed to score 7000 points.In the few days when the hand felt the best, the highest score was 7300 points, and then fell to the altar in 10 consecutive knees.

During this period, more and more teams contacted him, but every time he refused the invitation to participate in training now on the grounds that he would finish high school.The people in charge of the team are also very puzzled, after all, high school is not included in the scope of compulsory education.But now that he has promised Yan Che, he will definitely do it, even if it runs counter to his dream—perhaps on the day he met Yan Che, his dream, future, and life had already quietly changed.

However, there are still some teams that cherish their talents, leaving contact information for him to contact them when he reconsiders playing professionally after the college entrance examination. After all, 18 years old is not too late, and there are many top teams in DotA2. older players.

In order to lay the foundation for his future career, he decided to participate in the Warriors League starting at 8 pm every Saturday.Since there is no fixed team, we can only match passers-by to compete together.However, after the live broadcast, the number of IDs in the friend list has gradually increased. Occasionally, someone will pull him together, but they rarely play together, and the sudden blackout is actually similar to passers-by—no tacit understanding, no cooperation.

On the stage of the 8th-level Warriors League, you can often meet professional teams who also come to practice. Although your passers-by teammates are also high-scoring masters, after all, the game and the ladder are two completely different games. Great, but even one misalignment in the late game can completely change the game.

On a Saturday after finishing his homework, An Ronghe started preparing for the Warriors League as usual.Since I usually only play solo queue with a large size, I don’t have much communication with the netizens in the friend list, and most of them are just a one-time encounter in the match.

When he was planning to find some passers-by on the channel of the 8th-level Warriors League, someone invited him to join the team.The other party seemed to be afraid that he would not accept it, and sent a message: "Come on, there is a lack of No. 1".

Thinking carefully about this not-unfamiliar ID, it should be the 5th position of one's own team in a ladder match a few days ago.After joining the team, I looked at this person's record again, and then I remembered that the Juggernaut I played that day, the Ryan used by him was very comfortable online.

This person not only passed the basic skills, but also has a thorough understanding of the situation. He always keeps an eye on the position of the Juggernaut and the opposing hero. When he thinks there is a chance to kill, he will be very decisive and directly serve him. Then calculate the duration of the skill. Immediately afterwards, he was transformed into a sheep, and with the sword master's blade storm, he killed the opposite disadvantaged lane in the early stage and couldn't even gain experience.

Because they were playing in the league, when they first joined the team, everyone had already opened a black shop called Ziyou Mai. Although they were not familiar with the other four, An Rongyu still clicked on Liberty Talk silently, and discussed the position allocation with them.

During the half-hour of waiting for the start of registration, from the chats of his teammates, he roughly knew that the person who pulled him into the team was nicknamed "Old Dog" and specialized in the 5th position.

And although I only played against Laogou, after thinking about that game, I also think that he is indeed an excellent support player-no matter how poor he is, he cannot have a poor vision, no matter how hard he is, he cannot be a big brother.Online can almost be said to protect the 1st and 2nd positions with their lives, and when necessary, they will block the enemy heroes' positions to prevent them from catching up with the big brother who is running away with residual blood.

The other three were recruited by old dogs. Judging from his chatting style, it is not surprising that he has so many friends.An Ronghe was the last one among these few people to know Lao Gou. The others had participated in the Warriors League together for several weeks, and they were fairly familiar with each other, so Lao Gou played the role of a middleman for An Rong and Introduced one by one.

The first one to be introduced is Lao Ji, who is said to have partnered with Lao Gou for more than two years, and they specialize in positions 4 and 5; next is Kobayashi, who specializes in positions 1 and 3, but this time he has a higher score An Rongyu is here, so he generously surrenders to the virtuous; the remaining No. 2 Hanzi is actually one year younger than An Rongyu. He is currently in the first year of high school and is an art student.

After finishing speaking in a few words, the old dog said meaningfully: "I met these brothers on the local channel when I was looking for someone to play in the Warriors League. Except for Han Zai, the other three of us are already offline. We've met several times."

An Ronghe heard the words and asked casually, "Where are you from?"

The old dog was waiting for this sentence, and immediately replied with a smile: "We are not from the same place, but we are all in Shang'an now."

Hearing the word "Shang'an", before the old dog could continue, An Rongyu interjected first: "I am from Shang'an, and I am also in Shang'an now."

The rest of the people said a few "fucking shit" in a hurry, and the old dog continued: "What a coincidence! I am also a native of Shang'an, and Lao Ji and Xiao Lin are both from Hunan. Lao Ji opened a milk tea shop near Shang University. Xiao Lin happened to be studying in Shang University. They met first, and then by chance, we played in the Warriors League with me. We both met. We also went there when we met Lao Ji's milk tea shop..."

The old dog's tone was extremely excited, as if he had won the jackpot, his mouth was like a cannonball, and he said a lot.Hearing An Rongyu here, he couldn't help laughing, and interrupted helplessly: "Brother, I live near Shangda University now. The milk tea shop you mentioned, shouldn't it be called 'Xi Cha Shi'?" Light' it..."

After a brief silence, a burst of tough laughter burst out from the receiver, and Old Ji said first: "Hahahaha, what a coincidence. Tell me, how many times have you been to my store to spend?"

An Ronghe racked his brains for a while, and replied calmly: "Once." It was exactly a year ago, the first time he went to Yan Che's laboratory. Sent the first cup of milk tea.

Old Ji didn't feel embarrassed, and continued to say cheerfully: "Tell me next time you come again, please drink to your heart's content!"

After a passionate discussion, the few people, with the encouragement of Lao Gou and Lao Ji, made an appointment for the next day's large-scale face-to-face and hacking activities.When asked about Han Zai, he regretted that he lived in a small city near Shang'an, so he couldn't come this time.

The originally planned five-player Hei still lacked one person, which felt like playing mahjong with three missing one.An Rongyu immediately wanted to bring Yan Che with him, and while everyone was looking into Hanzai's family, he quickly sent a message to Yan Che.He didn't expect to receive a message from Yan Che before he finished typing "Brother, are you going to have a black meeting together tomorrow?"

[Offline sitting with free milk tea sounds really tempting. 】

The soft screen light hit An Ronghe's face, and he was smiling like a mentally handicapped man at the moment. Thinking of Yan Che watching his live broadcast almost every single time, it's fine if he watched it so seriously, and he still has such a good understanding with him, He wished he could roll on the ground right away.

After deleting the words he just typed, he resent a sentence: "Brother! I'll just wait for your words! Then here comes the problem..."

Soon, the other party replied tacitly: "The ID card has been borrowed."

After agreeing with Yan Che, he told the other three people the great news.Everyone also said that it had been a long time since they had played offline Wuhei, and their hearts were about to fly away from the computer along the network cable.

And An Rongyu, who had experienced five consecutive sittings, was naturally very excited - nothing can be more enjoyable than fighting together and making noise with comrades in arms.

The few people even made an appointment to meet, and then remembered that An Rongyu hadn't been introduced yet, the old dog coughed dryly, and then asked tentatively in the upbeat and peaceful atmosphere: "Well, I can also call you Ronger ?"

An Rongyu, who was playing the live broadcast, was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Yes, you can call me whatever you want." At this time, the barrage was also like chicken blood, and the screen was full of "hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha", which made people People can't help but laugh when they see it.

The old dog who got the permission barked Rong'er sweetly one by one, and even bragged him to the sky: "This is the anchor I met in solo queue two days ago. I'm not bragging, Rong'er is handsome and ruthless." Conscientious, able to fight, brush and resist pressure," said this, suddenly thought of something, and asked solemnly: "Rong'er, are you streaming live now?"

An Rongyu had already blushed a little after being praised by him. Hearing him ask this question, he seemed to be watching a good show, and replied meaningfully: "It's been open all night."

After hearing this answer, several other people were a little restless, and the old dog felt like being molested, and said, "Oh, you didn't say anything to me, thank goodness you didn't say anything bad about you."

Old Ji also said with some embarrassment: "Hey, I didn't expect me to be on TV once I am old. I'll go and see, which room is it?"

The old dog showed him the way.After a while, Lao Ji's slightly surprised voice came again: "Fuck, old dog, when you said he was handsome, I didn't expect him to be so handsome... Why do you say that you are the most handsome in the universe every day?" , and made me lose my ability to judge.”

Kobayashi also took up the conversation, expressing his excitement.An Rongyu allowed them to tease, while he listened and giggled.And the one who couldn't get along with him was the boy named "Han Zai". Although An Rongyu also played the 2nd position, he thought he was more handy when he played C, so he also got the old dog. The highly rated talented mid-lane boy has developed a strong interest.

After a while, An Rongyu saw a gift prompt popping up on the screen. The person whose ID was "Qianli Jiang" gave two Kung Pao Chicken—a gift worth 100 RMB on the live broadcast platform.When he found that this ID was the same as the game name of the old season in the game, he was very embarrassed and thanked him. He didn't expect to give this virtual gift that was not cheap when he first met him. His intuition told him that the milk tea business of the old season should be doing well. .

After the chat, led by the old dog, the five of them began to talk about the recent popular heroes and styles of play. At this time, Han Zai was no longer shy, and put forward a lot of his own ideas with insight. I can't help but feel that at his age, his understanding of the game can really be called very thorough.

After making friends with each other, the old dog provoked the leader to become the captain, and even gave this newly established black shop a team name that he thought was crazy, cool and amazing: DUGUQIUBAI (勤孤求收), and the team image is a Funny emoticons.

After completing a series of team profile settings, the time for registration is up. After clicking Match, you will find your opponent in a few seconds.Several people looked at the opponent's ID and found that it was a well-known second-tier team——TeamBravery.YB, which is the youth training team of TeamBravery, one of the top teams in China.
