Chapter 46: Jinjiang Novel Reading Exclusive: Not Looking for a Girlfriend. ...

There is no problem with getting rewards after playing the game.

The person who gave this reward was Lu Zhiye, which was a bit problematic.

But the one who was rewarded was Shi Jing. Considering Shi Jing's performance during this period, the above problem can be ignored.

The reward itself was nothing special, a pair of custom keycaps, very serious. Jiang Yuan also gave Song Jiahang a pair on his birthday, although they were not as expensive.

The keycaps have an ID engraved on them, and there's a little heart between the two IDs, one on the front and one on the back?

After a few seconds of trying to find any rational logic to convince himself, Matt felt his cerebellum shrink.

Before the others could find their voices again, the keycaps in their hands were all gone.

They were all snatched back by Shi Jing.

Matt thought, this is bad. Knowing Shi Jing well, he'd never like anything remotely cute. Not only would he dislike it, he'd think you were deliberately picking on him. There might be something wrong with what Lu Shen had given him this time.

Matt's brain raced, trying to think of something to say to save the situation. "Master Lu, did the studio you hired print the wrong pattern? Why is there a heart?"

Everyone looked at Lu Zhiye quietly.

Lu Zhiye: "That's right. It's love."

Everyone is even more: "?"

Lu Zhiye noticed their expressions and blinked slowly: "Isn't the heart beautiful?"

Shi Jing's face was expressionless as he stuffed the keycaps back into the box. Even his tone was inaudible. "What do you think?"

Lu Zhiye lowered his eyelashes, then raised them again after two seconds: "I drew it last time, I thought you liked it."

"Oh!" Matt remembered, "Sweetheart, last time you lost to LA, God Lu also drew a heart on your face."

Oh shit.

Do I need to tell you this?

Matt thought about it and it seemed that Shi Jing did not refute it that time.

He had a brilliant idea: "So you like hearts? I thought you didn't like pink and tender things like that."

With a "click", the edge of the outer packaging box of the Shijing keycaps was flattened.

Lu Zhiye looked at him: "If you really don't like it, I'll go change it."

ah?

The conversation seemed a bit strange, so Zhou Lian, who had been silent all this time, looked back and forth between the two people.

Shi Jing couldn't stand it any longer: "Go pick it up from the trash can and change it yourself later."

After saying this, he put the keycaps back into the box, packed them, picked them up, and pushed the chair away.

"You want to throw it away?" Jiang Yuan finally came to his senses and understood what Shi Jing meant. "No, I haven't touched such high-end keycaps before. How about letting me use them? I really like the heart ones."

Lu Zhiye's gaze, which had been fixed on Shi Jing, moved half an inch towards Jiang Yuan's face.

Caught off guard, Jiang Yuan made eye contact with the captain, and inexplicably felt that Brother Lu, who was usually very friendly, had a chill in his eyes today.

Just when he thought Shi Jing would generously throw the keycaps over to him, the next second, Shi Jing refused: "No."

Jiang Yuan was stunned: "Why?"

Standing up, with his back to everyone, Shi Jing said coldly, "I don't like people touching my ID every day."

Jiang Yuan: “…”

You guys have so many quirks.

-

Shi Jing packed up the posters, baji, Q-version figurines and everything related to Lu Zhiye that he had stuffed into the drawer of the camera, along with the box of hot keycaps, and took them back to the villa opposite.

I plan to wait until the garbage truck comes to collect the garbage from the villa area before throwing it away, so that I can completely ignore it.

That afternoon, Shi Jing's training matches were scheduled for the last two games.

In the first three games, he only needed to watch other teammates perform in the spectator room.

Everything about tactics had been discussed in the meeting, and the new season hadn't started yet, so there hadn't been any changes to the hero he played. Shi Jing, wearing headphones, sat in a nearby seat, watching a recent tactical video from another club that Coach Wan had sent him.

In order to hear the key information from the coach and the big screen during the game, Shijing headphones were only worn on one ear.

After a while, the chair next to me moved.

Without even looking up, Shi Jing knew who was coming when his peripheral vision caught the edge of the clothes.

In such a big conference room, is there no other place to sit?

He didn't move his eyes, still staring at the game screen on his phone.

Or maybe I've been too relaxed recently.

Thinking about the time.

You can't let Lu Zhiye stick to you like this.

Let's not play duo tonight. They don't have any other relationship anyway, so why should we play duo until late at night after training every day?

Shi Jing's mind was racing when Zhou Lian came over from the second row.

"Captain," he said.

Lu Zhiye turned his head to look at him.

"We have five training matches scheduled today. After they're over, do you want to play duo together?" Zhou Lian asked.

Ever since Shi Jing arrived, he hadn't played duo with Lu Zhiye for a long time. Except for the four-person training time, when he could still cooperate with Lu Zhiye, Zhou Li'an basically played with the second team the rest of the time.

Being bad at e-sports is his original sin, and he had no objection to Shi Jing's strength.

However, with the new season approaching, he wanted to practice more. The training intensity of the second team was slightly lower. Duoing with Lu Zhiye was the best way to experience top-tier ranked matches and the intense cooperation of two damage-dealing positions.

Lu Zhiye didn't say anything, and Zhou Lian hurried on, "Last time I practiced Undead and Hound. The coach told me to use more heroes with dashing attacks, so I've been practicing Ash and Robot lately. I'm very familiar with their skills. Even if there's a lack of coordination, I can still use my ultimate skills for you and won't hold you back..."

As Zhou Lian spoke, his voice gradually became softer.

Lu Zhiye raised his eyes.

Their eyes met Shi Jing's, who had turned around and looked at them at some point.

The latter glanced at Zhou Lian.

It’s not that Shi Jing’s eyes are scary, but when he looks at me without any emotion or expression, it’s a bit frightening.

Zhou Li'an paused for a moment. "I'm not trying to poach the captain. If you guys have a duo queue tonight, I won't join. Or we can play in a foursome... if you're willing, Sweet."

"Who made an appointment with him?" Shi Jing said with a stern face.

Zhou Lian: "Ah?"

Isn’t it?

Before he could think clearly, Shi Jing had already turned back.

She changed her posture, from facing away from him to facing away from both of them, her arms resting on the back of the chair, her back looking cold and heartless.

"He can fight whoever he wants."

Zhou Lian: “…”

Really.

Then why did he have the illusion of feeling chilly?

A few seconds later, Lu Zhiye's voice came over: "We've been practicing four-person squads for a long time today. We won't play tonight."

Shi Jing accidentally pressed the pause button.

When he realized what he had done, his face turned even more grim.

Fight if you want.

If Lu Zhiye doesn't fight, he will fight himself.

Anyway, he hadn't planned to play duo with Lu Zhiye today.

Then Lu Zhiye said, "Let Song Jiahang practice with you. I'll still play duo with Sweet tonight."

Shi Jing paused.

Lu Zhiye: "Next week is the last week of the doubles competition, let's practice more."

Zhou Li'an: "Oh, okay, okay."

"..." Shi Jing maintained his awkward sitting position until all the other teammates went to the training room to start.

That strange feeling of dissatisfaction that was soothed at that moment came quickly, and then dissipated when Lu Zhiye said it was to practice for the double row match. There was even a faint feeling...

Anything?

I can’t describe the situation.

Oh shit.

Isn't this a perfectly normal conversation? I'm about to play duos, so who else can I practice with if not him? What's wrong with that?

I must have not slept well these past few days, I am nervous.

When he got angry, he even scolded himself. Shi Jing grabbed a handful of hair and put those inexplicable thoughts behind him.

-

The next afternoon.

There is only one week left before the opening ceremony of the new season league. In the penultimate double row match, SFD's performance is still outstanding.

Because of the last emergency situation where reporters rushed in front of him, before this game, the fat manager specifically instructed the public relations team to arrange a set of key words for Shi Jing to speak, so that he could slightly modify his tone when speaking.

But it was obviously of no use. This time, Lu Zhiye achieved a terrifying kill by wiping out three teams with a single sniper shot, and was surrounded as soon as he stepped down from the stage.

Jiang Yuan was discussing with Song Jiahang unilaterally whether to have beef hotpot or coconut chicken. Shi Jing put down his peripherals and went to the bathroom to wash his face while no one came back yet.

The more duo matches they played, the closer their synergy became. Lately, besides matches, he'd been invited to play in a group late at night after practice. At first, he'd been able to stick to the fat manager's schedule, but over the past two days, he'd been playing until one or two in the morning several times.

Putting aside all personal factors, it is a very enjoyable thing to be a teammate with Lu Zhiye's output position.

Shi Jing rubbed his face, looked at himself in the mirror, and waited for the excitement brought by the game to slowly subside.

As usual, Shi Jing was walking towards the SFD lounge with slippers. He was absent-mindedly reviewing his performance in the previous game, and suddenly his feet stopped.

A person stood in front of him, blocking his way.

He had a flat head, a thin body, clenched fists, and eyes like a fox. He was staring at Shi Jing without blinking.

Having seen many people like this in his previous life, Shi Jing immediately understood that the other party had ill intentions.

"What are you going to do?" He put his phone back into his pocket and raised his eyes coldly. "Deliver your speech of defeat?"

"You stinky dog!" The other party suddenly became excited and his face turned red in a second.

"?" Shi Jing frowned.

The thin man's face was distorted, and he looked mentally unstable. "You are a piece of trash who has never played any competition. How could you win so many games with the highest ranking of Diamond? Your club will protect you, and the league will protect you too..."

Shi Jing: "It was you who reported me last time?"

The skinny guy with the flat head was breathing very fast: "So what if it was me? Even if I don't report you, someone else will! You're cheating and you're afraid of being reported?"

He yelled wildly, revealing his identity completely.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he started calling him a cheat. There was no one else to blame except for the fact that he was inexplicably reported to the league for investigation last time.

But this person is unfamiliar.

He wasn't wearing any club's jersey.

To be more precise, he was dressed strangely, in black from head to toe, as if he had done it deliberately to blend in here.

He is so thin and his clothes look like they haven't been washed for eight hundred years. He is not a contestant.

There are only a few things that have vested interests in the e-sports community.

Shi Jing immediately judged the other party's identity.

There are small bookmakers like this every day who don't have half the IQ and ambition. I wonder how much this guy has lost. After a quick glance, he wasn't interested in wasting time any more. "I'm not afraid of being reported. If you think the league is protecting me, then report the league. If not, then report SFD, report Apex, report the tournament organizers."

The skinny guy with a flat head was a little stunned, as if he didn't realize he would say that.

"What? You don't understand?" Shi Jing asked, "Or maybe you could just report yourself and go to jail. That should be better than having to face an unpayable debt every day."

The flat-headed man was silent for two seconds.

Suddenly, she rushed towards him and said, "You've hurt me like this, and you won't have an easy life!"

A huge force hit him, Shi Jing dodged to the side at an extremely fast speed, and a cold light flashed before his eyes.

This person wasn't here to vent his emotions.

He knew he was finished and wanted to take someone down with him.

The knife was revealed, and the situation changed. Shi Jing raised his hand to block it.

With a "bang".

A heavy, dull thud was heard hitting the wall.

There was no force on the hands.

Shi Jing was stunned for a moment and raised his eyes.

Lu Zhiye came over at some point and knocked the flat-headed gambler's knife away.

The man did not give up. He bumped into the wall, picked up the knife, and got up. With a ferocious face, he tried to chop Shi Jing.

Lu Zhiye raised his foot and kicked him away.

It really flew.

It slid a long way down the aisle and stopped at the end of the corner.

Not moving.

Grass.

Shi Jing stood there with his arm half-raised, ready to swing.

"What's going on?" Hearing the noise, the fat manager and the security guard behind him rushed over. "Didn't Xiao Tiantian go to the bathroom? Why..."

After seeing the scene clearly, the fat manager was stunned.

"Fuck." Jiang Yuan followed, followed by Matt and Song Jiahang. Almost the entire SFD team came out. "What's going on?"

"It's okay." Lu Zhiye said, turning his head to look at Shi Jing.

Shi Jing was unharmed.

I'm just a little confused.

He couldn't figure out how the duel between him and that person turned into Lu Zhiye kicking the person several meters away.

The fat manager was the first to recover. His experience immediately understood what had happened. "What do you guys do as organizers? How did this guy get into our rest area with a knife?"

The incident happened suddenly, so the event team and they all stayed behind and called the police. By the time they were taken away by the police and their statements were taken, and the operation was completed, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.

"Sweetheart!"

When he entered the club, everyone else was still awake, gathered in the training room. Seeing him come back, Matt was the first to rush out.

"Sweetheart, are you okay? Are you not hurt anywhere? Damn, I just realized that someone stabbed you with a knife, and it seems to be a stupid dealer..." Matt looked him up and down.

"No." Shi Jing looked at those pairs of concerned eyes and turned away helplessly, "No one touched me. He was the one who had the problem."

"Awesome." Matt gave a thumbs up. "I heard you kicked that guy into the wall."

Jiang Yuan: "Is that person still alive?"

Shi Jing: “…”

Shi Jing: “It’s not me…”

Halfway through his speech, he realized something.

"Where is Lu Zhiye?" Shi Jing turned around.

Why didn’t Lu Zhiye come back?

The statement was taken in a separate room, and the incident was caused by him. When Shi Jing finished, he instinctively thought that Lu Zhiye had already returned to the base.

But there is no trace of Lu Zhiye in the base now.

"We still need to deal with Xiao Lu and the league," the fat manager said, "after all, he did take action..."

"Ah?" Jiang Yuan asked worriedly, "Are they going to give Brother Lu a suspension?"

Shi Jing's face suddenly turned cold: "If he doesn't do it, will that person kill me with a knife?"

The fat manager saw his gloomy face and rushed out: "What are you going to do?"

"Go find the people from the alliance." Shi Jing pulled his coat and left.

"What's the point of you going? Hey, Xiao Lu is fine. He will be back soon." The fat manager went to stop them. "The deputy manager and the lawyer are all here. There's no need for you to go..."

Shi Jing: "They came to see me. They have no right to suspend Lu Zhiye."

"No suspension!"

"How do you know?" The Alliance were a bunch of sycophants. Lu Zhiye wasn't very good at talking, so he couldn't say a word for a long time. It was okay when nothing happened, at least they wouldn't dare to do anything to him openly.

If something goes wrong, don't you have to do something to control it?

"I..." The fat manager's forehead was sweating.

Can't stop it.

It's impossible to stop it.

The fat manager, weighing more than 200 pounds, was actually being pulled away by a skinny young man and couldn't be pulled back.

"I really didn't lie to you! Xiao Lu will be back soon——"

The elevator door opened.

Lu Zhiye walked out from inside.

Shi Jing stopped dead in his tracks.

The fat manager was like seeing a savior: "Xiao Lu! Xiao Lu! Come quickly!! Sweet is rushing to the alliance headquarters to save you, and I can't catch him!"

Shi Jing: “…”

A few minutes later.

Everyone sat in the fat manager's office again.

This was the first time that the small office accommodated so many people. The chairs were full, so Jiang Yuan and the others didn't hesitate and sat directly at other desks.

There was also an LA manager who came along for some reason to watch the fun.

"Why the hell are you here too?" The fat manager cursed for the first time.

The LA manager tossed his hair and said, "If anything happens to you, I'll have to come over to see the fun. If your gold medalist is really banned, I'll go back to the club and set off fireworks to celebrate."

"I'm really sorry to disappoint you." Jiang Yuan gave him the middle finger.

After listening to all the causes and consequences of what happened at the police station and between the alliance, I confirmed that everything was fine.

Shi Jing pursed his lips and looked at Lu Zhiye beside him.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Are you stupid? Why don't you just say I kicked you?"

Lu Zhiye sat upright with his hands on his thighs.

He looked at Shi Jing for a while and asked, "Why do you say it was you who kicked it?"

Shi Jing: “…”

Shi Jing gritted his teeth: "He came for me, he came to stab me, why are you trying to show off? What if I ban you..."

Lu Zhiye: "Being banned is better than getting injured."

Shi Jing: “…”

Lu Zhiye's voice was soft, and his breath was a little hot, touching his ear.

Oh shit.

Shi Jing wiped his ears.

Why are you sitting so close?

What are all these people doing here?

The LA manager waved his hand, interrupting Shi Jing's indiscriminate attack. "Hey, that's nothing. It's okay, don't be afraid. Compared to the mess those guys in our family got into, even if seven or eight of their ex-girlfriends didn't come to our base and hang banners, your situation is nothing. Just issue an official announcement and it'll be over."

SFD players: “?”

Jiang Yuan caught the key point of the gossip: "What banner?"

LA Manager: "There's a bit of everything. Most of them are calling him a scumbag. If you want to know, just go to Weibo and search for LEO. He has the most comments."

"..." the fat manager said, "Don't compare your group of show-off players like you to mine. We're all good kids, and nothing happens once every eight hundred years. How can we be the same?"

"You know this now?" the LA manager asked. "Just your new player, Sweet, had his own super chat room created the same day after the game, and all the hosts are beautiful women."

Matt: "? What? How come I don't know?"

The fat manager was anxious: "Don't listen to his nonsense! You came here just to corrupt the kids in our club, right? We don't have a precedent for messing around here!"

The LA manager scoffed at his good-boy talk. How could someone who is good-looking and talented not be liked by others?

Before he could even open his mouth, Jiang Yuan said, "Of course not. The captain has been single for twenty years just to win the championship. How can the rest of us even have the nerve to find a girlfriend?"

"Exactly. Does it matter if your girlfriend has a championship?"

"The captain is single, and so am I. Being single brings strength. You guys in LA who make it to the quarterfinals every year won't understand."

LA Manager: “…”

What kind of perverse logic is this? Why are you still attacking me?

The LA manager glanced at Lu Zhiye and said, "Your captain hasn't even mentioned it himself, so how do you know he's not looking for a girlfriend? Maybe he already has one but isn't telling you."

"Impossible!" Jiang Yuan was the first to object. "Brother Lu spends every day in the training room. The only people he spends the most time with besides the mouse and keyboard are his teammates. How could he have time to find a girlfriend? Right, Brother Lu?"

Lu Zhiye glanced at Shi Jing who was sitting next to him.

Shi Jing: “…”

Why don’t you take another look and try?

After two seconds, Lu Zhiye really retracted his gaze and said, "Yeah. Not looking for a girlfriend."

Shi Jing: “…”
