Q: Are female players naturally inferior to male players?Gu Yuehshuang: Thanks for the invitation, as a female professional player, I'll speak from experience. I haven't yet found a male pl...
For the professional players who didn't make it to the World Championship, it was like they were on a long vacation, while for the professional players who made it to the World Championship, they almost devoted their precious and short vacation to escape rooms.
But it also increased the useless tacit understanding among these players.
During the short vacation period, the players almost all regarded this secret room area as their base. They gathered here every day after waking up and ate at all the nearby restaurants.
Then, when GGB and FJ were about to return, they were shocked to discover that POG had actually had five more days off than them! Five days!!
That’s twice their vacation time!
Gu Yueshuang waved with the magnanimous aura of the number one seed: "Good luck in the bubble match~"
After all, they are the number one seed and don’t have to play in the bubble match.
Xu Qing asked, "So what should we do tomorrow? Still in the secret room? I'm tired."
Gu Yueshuang looked at him as if he was mentally retarded: "Do you even need to ask? Go get a free meal from Brother Hei."
Yang Chi gasped, "I forgot about that. I heard the food is really good. I've always wanted to go to your base and eat for free, but since you moved, I didn't have the nerve to mention it... You can still eat for free?"
Xu Qing smiled, his face full of protectiveness. "Sorry, our Grandpa Lin isn't home today. What a coincidence, he'll be back on the same day you're back to the team."
Yang Chi: “…”
Feeling targeted.
"If you're curious..." Lin Yanqiu paused, then continued calmly under everyone's expectant gaze, "We can do a live broadcast when we get back so you can watch us eat."
Everyone: “…”
Lu Cheng's face was filled with gloom. "Xiao Lin, have you learned bad things from Shuang Shuang?"
Gu Yueshuang said she would not take the blame: "What's the connection? You just saw his true face."
Lin Yanqiu didn't argue, explaining, "Grandpa doesn't like takeout. He wants us to finish our food right there. If we don't finish it, we'll have one less dish next time."
Xu Qing, a foodie, is quite knowledgeable: "If we take out, the food won't taste fresh anymore. Maybe they're afraid of ruining their reputation."
Gu Yueshuang was very calm and straightforward: "The main thing is that we don't want to take you back to the base, and we don't want to bring you takeout."
Lin Yanqiu immediately sent him away: "Anyway, see you at the World Championship."
Xia Yan: "There's still training!"
The POG players looked at each other, bewildered. "Is there even this?"
The FJ&GGB team members present: "..."
Gu Yueshuang said nonsense seriously: "I don't know anyway."
Xu Qing: "I don't know either."
Gu Yueshuang: "Didn't you say we'd meet at the airport at the end of the month?"
Everyone: “???”
Lin Yanqiu called a halt: "Alright, alright, stop scaring them. They're already timid, and if they get nightmares and don't perform well on the court, they'll be blaming us."
Lu Cheng looked at him suspiciously: "Xiao Lin, you haven't been so sarcastic before...?"
Gu Yueshuang was still sparing no effort to discredit her own captain: "He has always been like this, he just hid it better before, otherwise how could he be our captain."
"Shuangshuang?" Lu Cheng called out tentatively, but his eyes turned to Lin Yanqiu and he found that he was indeed frowning.
Gu Yueshuang was confused: "Huh?"
Lu Cheng smiled knowingly: "It's okay, see you at training camp, I'll treat you to milk tea then."
"Okay, bye." Gu Yueshuang waved to them.
Lin Yanqiu's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could have pinched a mosquito to death.
Lu Cheng was extremely satisfied after seeing this. He waved his hand and ran away with his team members, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.
Gu Yueshuang also noticed that Lin Yanqiu was unhappy and asked, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to leave them?"
"No." Lin Yanqiu answered almost immediately, but for a moment he didn't know how to explain his unhappiness. After thinking about it, he decided to give up and change the subject. "Forget it, have you decided where to go tomorrow?"
Several people from POG started chattering again, discussing where to go for fun tomorrow.
They had fun until the day before the training camp, and only returned to the base after having a great time, packed their luggage and headed straight for the training camp.
The members of GGB and FJ teams arrived a day in advance. After waiting for the POG members, this group of secret room gangs quickly colluded with each other and went to eat skewers together.
The coaches and analysts were all confused. When did these kids become so close?
If they asked, they would probably get a tearful answer from these children -
"This is all a revolutionary friendship established in a secret room!"
Xu Qing was extremely concerned about his milk tea. The first thing he asked when they met was: "Have you ordered milk tea?"
Lu Cheng handed him the phone: "No, there aren't many of us, so we thought we'd wait for you to come and choose your own flavors."
Chi Nan said with a grin, "We've already ordered, in two batches, hehe. We placed the order when you went to sort your luggage, so you can only watch us drink while we're here."
Gu Yueshuang grabbed Lin Yanqiu's hand and covered Xu Qing's ears with it in a flash: "Hurry, we didn't hear anything, so we can drink double."
Xu Qing agreed readily: "OK~ But why don't we order three servings? It's his treat anyway."
Gu Yueshuang said seriously: "Drinking too much milk tea will make it difficult to sleep and affect your training condition."
Lin Yanqiu pulled back his hand: "...but why did I use my hand to cover his ears?"
Gu Yueshuang said confidently: "There are differences between men and women, I can't do it myself..."
Lin Yanqiu was shamefully persuaded.
Chi Nan was puzzled: "But didn't you grab Xiaolin's hand?"
Gu Yueshuang suddenly lost her confidence as she spoke: "Is it okay to grab your wrist through your sleeve?"
She suddenly felt a little uncertain. She only knew that this era was much more unrestrained, but she had no idea to what extent.
"It's okay, ignore them."
Lin Yanqiu said this very smoothly, and no one knew how long he had been holding it in his heart.
Gu Yueshuang was pulled to the other side by Lin Yanqiu, not walking with them, and said, "We should order by ourselves and separate from them. They have more people and they cook slowly."
Gu Yueshuang: "...? But don't we have to queue up when ordering takeout? Their order number is ahead of ours, right?"
"Hush." Lin Yanqiu said mysteriously, "It's the home of an uncle I know. I saw there's a Chuan Chuan shop nearby, so I asked the uncle if he could give us special milk tea."
Only then did Gu Yueshuang notice that the screen on his phone was not an ordering interface, but a WeChat private chat window.
Judging from the name of this note and the style of this avatar, I guess he is also a student of Mr. Lin.
Lin Yanqiu showed the bag in his hand and explained to everyone, "We're going to give gifts to old friends on behalf of Grandpa. We'll meet up with you at the skewers shop later."
Zhou Yao was not surprised at all. He nodded and said, "Be careful on the road."
Xu Qing asked, "Would you like to order some milk tea?"
Lin Yanqiu said earnestly: "Drink less milk tea at night. Drinking too much will make you unable to sleep."
Gu Yueshuang interrupted: "But aren't we staying up late tonight? Oh, Team Xiaolin needs to go to bed early, so it looks like Yang Lin will be staying up late with us today."
Lin Yanqiu, who was suddenly kicked out of the training camp, asked: "?"
Gu Yueshuang shrugged and said teasingly, "Okay, that's understandable. Our team leader is not in good health."
Chi Nan: "But Brother Lin is delivering something to his elders' friends, why did Shuangshuang go with him?"
Xu Qing, who didn't know where he'd learned his broken dialect, dragged out his words, "Team Xiaolin isn't in good health! What if someone faints on the side of the road and no one's there to help?"
Gu Yueshuang was so disgusted by his deliberate tone that she got goosebumps. She quickly pushed Lin Yanqiu away and said, "Let's go. If you don't leave now, I'm going to vomit in the street and ruin the city."
Lin Yanqiu lowered his head and used his mobile phone to navigate. He hadn't found the way yet, so he pushed Gu Yueshuang wherever she pushed him. After a few steps, he realized the problem was not right, so he pulled Gu Yueshuang back and said, "We're going the wrong way."
When they passed the main group again, Gu Yueshuang shouted to them, "Don't give Xu Qing milk tea! He's too greasy! He can't eat candy."
Lin Yanqiu memorized the route, waved his phone, and said, "We'll be back soon. Be careful on the road."
Chi Nan was stunned: "Didn't you say they weren't together? How come they are holding hands?"
Lu Minghao: "That's the wrist, that's the wrist! It doesn't count as holding hands."
As the two of them walked past the large group, Lin Yanqiu let go of his hand very naturally, and Gu Yueshuang didn't notice anything wrong.
At this moment, she was carefully observing the environment to see if there was anything delicious to eat or drink in the area.
Lin Yanqiu took out a strawberry candy from his pocket and handed it to her: "Here, to compensate for your milk tea."
Gu Yueshuang: "Ah? Didn't you say uncle has milk tea?"
Lin Yanqiu showed her the chat history and said, "Uncle said it's not appropriate for patients and minors to drink tea late at night, so he only prepared milk for us."
Gu Yueshuang suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave.
"I'm an adult!"
After Gu Yueshuang refuted weakly, she could only accept the fact that this body was not considered an adult by the standards of that era.
Gu Yueshuang suddenly saw a stall that was extremely familiar but seemed out of place in this world - pouring sugar painting!
Gu Yueshuang rarely showed a childlike excited smile, pointed at the stall and said, "Can we buy a sugar painting when we come back later?"
Lin Yanqiu looked in the direction she pointed, nodded, and said, "Okay."
He hadn't seen this kind of stall for many years. The last time he saw it was more than ten years ago, on the street in his hometown.
The two people went to deliver gifts and received two glasses of milk and a bunch of heartfelt and old-fashioned conversations.
Uncle also prepared a box of beautifully packaged snacks for Gu Yueshuang.
Gu Yueshuang is extremely well-behaved in front of strangers. She agrees with whatever her elders say and never interrupts when she shouldn't.
After coming out, Lin Yanqiu teased her, "Why are you so reserved today?"
Gu Yueshuang curled her lips: "Isn't this to leave a good reputation for the old man? I can't let my uncle think that the old man specially found two people to irritate him, right?"
After Gu Yueshuang finished speaking, she set her sights on the sugar painting stall and ran towards it like a hungry ghost, shouting, "Captain, hurry up and follow!"
Gu Yueshuang looked at the old wooden turntable on the stall and suddenly had the illusion of returning home.
She misses home.
"I want one dragon and one rabbit, thank you." After stating her needs, Gu Yueshuang pointed at the old turntable and asked, "Can I play with it?"
The stall owner was very kind: "Please help yourself."
When Lin Yanqiu came, Gu Yueshuang was playing on the keyboard and crying.
Gu Yueshuang wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and lied with her eyes closed: "Woo woo, it was so fun that I cried woo woo woo..."
Lin Yanqiu: “……?”
After the stall owner finished drawing a rabbit, he found a windmill from under the stall and handed it to Gu Yueshuang: "My daughter is crying, take it and play with it."
Gu Yueshuang held the windmill and cried and laughed: "Thank you."
She didn't dare to touch the turntable again, and instead stared at the stall owner as he drew a dragon for her with candy.
