Chapter 93
With his fingertips, he opened Xi Cheng's personal interface. There are always personal photos of big stars in their Weibo updates. Yi Xiaolan gently traced the man's bright smile through the screen, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
He was distracted after reading it, and finally turned back to the other party's latest update. He hesitated for a long time and did not leave a single word for the other party.
"Xiao Lan, aren't you going to eat yet?" You En's voice came from outside the door.
Yi Xiaolan suddenly came back to his senses and found that a thin layer of sweat had appeared on the palms of his hands.
He hastily clicked "like" on the latest update, then immediately locked the screen as if he was guilty of a crime. When he stood up, the headphone cord accidentally caught on the corner of the table, making a "snap" sound.
"Right away," he responded, stuffing his phone into his pocket, but couldn't help taking it out to take another look.
The number of likes has reached over 100,000, and his little finger has long been lost in the vast crowd.
That's fine, he thought.
Among tens of thousands of likes, the other party probably doesn’t know that he or she will be mixed in, right?
Yi Xiaolan had no idea that his small action would actually cause quite a stir on the social platform.
【ambition·偏执】 liked 【Xi Cheng】's latest update.
The lighting in the cafeteria was much softer than that in the lounge. Yi Xiaolan ate his meal quietly. The sounds of his teammates discussing tactics gradually became background noise. Except for Qiao Ruiyi and Yuan Xingyou, everyone else was eating here.
Xu Helian suddenly yelled: "WC! Xiaolan, you are on the hot search!"
Yi Xiaolan's chopsticks stopped in mid-air and a drop of soup fell onto the table.
"What?" He frowned and took the phone from Xu Helian. The screen showed the 17th most searched item:
#ambitionPanthelasmaLikeXiCheng#
Clicking on the topic, the first thing that came out was a screenshot of an entertainment celebrity exposing the news: "Shocking! E-sports players obsessively liked the latest updates of top star Xi Cheng! Is this going to break the dimensional wall?"
The comments section has exploded:
【**Blood Blade Without Trace】Professional players also chase after stars? No, idols also chase after e-sports players?
【Starry Dream】Ah, something is wrong!
[「Don’t hit me with the network card」I just saw the news three hours ago that Xi Cheng and his sister went to watch the game together. I thought Xi Cheng would not post updates!
【98K】Ahhhhhhhh, a two-way rush from idols and fans!
[Move to avoid the basic attack] I got hit!
【4324-778】Wait, isn’t paranoid famous for being aloof?
[Don’t ask me if there’s nothing to ask] Xi Cheng is much more famous than a teenager addicted to playing games on the internet. That guy got a great advantage!
【I Eat Passion Fruit】What do you mean by putting a photo of it alone? (Leaning back
【gznidwji】Please tell me what the relationship is between these two people!
[How nice] I’m a fan of the same professional player as my idol, hehe.
The tips of Yi Xiaolan's ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He mechanically returned the phone to Xu Helian, lowered his head to continue eating, but almost spilled the rice on the table.
He forgot that his current account had official certification, so whatever he did was equivalent to naked betting.
Damn it!
"Tsk tsk tsk," Xu Helian approached with a wicked smile, "Yi Xiaolan, when did you become a fan?"
"My hand slipped." Yi Xiaolan threw out two words stiffly.
Suan Suan also joined in the fun, and he deliberately dragged out his tone, "Then do you want to explain why you only follow Xi Cheng on Weibo?"
Yi Xiaolan's chopsticks fell onto the table with a "bang".
"Oh?" Youen, sensing a surprise, also became interested.
Cao Lin held the bowl and sat next to Yi Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, please tell us, we also want to hear some gossip. I promise not to tell anyone else."
Yi Xiaolan put down his chopsticks, said "I'm full" and left in a hurry.
"There is an affair," Xu Helian, who was quick-witted, turned his eyes and seemed to realize something.
The camera turned to a TV station's backstage dressing room where Xi Cheng, who had finished putting on makeup and was ready to start work, was resting with his eyes closed.
The assistant suddenly rushed in holding a cell phone: "Brother Cheng! Look at this!"
Xi Cheng opened his eyes lazily, but sat up straight the moment he saw the screen.
He enlarged the screenshot and repeatedly confirmed the familiar ID - ambition.
"Give me the phone." His voice trembled a little.
As his fingers slid across the screen, Xi Cheng's mouth corners unconsciously raised.
He opened his fan list, searched for ambition·偏执, and clicked the follow button.
"Brother Cheng, do you want to respond?" the assistant asked cautiously.
Xi Cheng locked his phone and leaned back in his chair, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes: "No need."
Some things...have to be said face to face.
The light in the dressing room fell on the corners of his slightly raised mouth, reflecting a gentle arc.
…
After taking the second place in the standings, Ambition had a long rest period, but the players who had made such a big promise did not dare to rest at all and trained day and night and studied the game lineup.
During this period, Qiao Ruiyi's good brother He Lijie came to the ambition base specially.
When he learned that Qiao Ruiyi was playing in the game, he was determined to go and see his good brother, and took a taxi to the base for a visit.
The glass door of the ambition base reflected the midday sun. He Lijie stood at the door, adjusting his collar somewhat awkwardly.
He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Qiao Ruiyi: I'm at the gate of your base.
Not long after, Qiao Ruiyi hurried out.
He was wearing the uniform of the Ambition team, and his eyes lit up when he saw He Lijie: "Lijie, you're here."
"Come and see our handsome Dark Moon guy," He Lijie smiled and punched Qiao Ruiyi's shoulder, but his eyes couldn't help but glance inside the base, "You guys are really impressive here."
To be honest, when he first heard that Qiao Ruiyi had decided to become a professional player, he was also incredulous.
This is really a risky decision!
An older player, a latecomer, or joining a championship team, any of these are reasons to attack him.
If Qiao Rui deliberately performed poorly, he might be attacked by overwhelming hostility.
Fortunately, he and his teammates got along well, the team's performance was also very good, and no unfortunate incident occurred.
Qiao Ruiyi didn't know what He Lijie was thinking, so he led him inside: "It just so happens that there is no training match today, I'll show you around."
The interior of the base was more spacious and brighter than expected. He Lijie looked curiously at the team photos hanging on the wall and the trophies in the display cabinets.
"This is our main training room." Qiao Ruiyi pushed open a frosted glass door, "Usually..."
His words were suddenly interrupted by a rapid ringing of the phone.
Qiao Ruiyi took out his cell phone and frowned slightly: "It's the coach's call, I have to go answer it, you can look around here first, I'll be back soon."
He Lijie nodded and watched Qiao Ruiyi leave in a hurry. He was the only one left in the training room.
He approached cautiously and found a mobile phone screen still on the game interface.
Just as he leaned over to get a better look, a lazy voice suddenly came from behind him: "Hey, where did this little cutie come from?"
He Lijie turned around suddenly and almost bumped into the table beside him.
The boy standing at the door had striking silver hair and his earrings sparkled in the sun. He was leaning against the door frame and smiling at him.
"I, I'm Qiao Ruiyi's friend..." He Lijie stuttered. He suddenly felt that this person looked familiar.
Silver hair? Earrings?
Isn’t this the support player of the Ambition team—a hardworking guy?
The silver-haired boy tilted his head, "What's your name?"
"He, He Lijie."
Xu Helian's eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone became playful, "I'm guessing you only play the shooter position?"
"Um……"
He Lijie's brain buzzed. Could this guy tell the other person's position in the game by looking at his appearance?
"Let me introduce myself, my name is..." Xu Helian stretched out his hand towards the other party.
"I know you are a hard-working person in the supporting position." He Lijie answered quickly.
"Heh," Xu Helian chuckled. That's not what he wanted to say. "My real name is Xu Helian."
Xu...Helian?
He Lijie stared at the other person in a daze. This voice... this name...
"You are 'Xu Helian'?!" he blurted out, and then his face turned red.
Who can tell him why the person who used a voice changer to deceive himself in the game would become a member of the ambition team?
Xu Helian smiled even more brightly and walked closer to He Lijie: "I didn't expect that the real person is even cuter than in the game."
He reached out to touch He Lijie's face, which looked like it could be pinched easily.
"Qiao Ruiyi is calling me!" He Lijie suddenly shouted, squeezed past Xu Helian, and rushed out of the training room without looking back.
Xu Helian stood there in a daze, then couldn't help laughing out loud.
He took out his cell phone and quickly sent a message to Qiao Ruiyi: "Your friend is really interesting, can you give me his contact information?"
In the corridor, He Lijie jogged all the way, his heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his chest.
He didn't expect to meet the person who had deceived him in the game under such circumstances, and he didn't expect that the other person in real life was even more... dazzling than in the game.
At the corner, he almost bumped into Qiao Ruiyi who was coming back.
"What's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?" Qiao Ruiyi asked in confusion without looking at his phone.
"No, nothing!" He Lijie waved his hands in panic, and his panic was visibly evident. "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, so I'm leaving now!"
Before Qiao Ruiyi could try to persuade He Lijie to stay, He Lijie had already run away like a frightened rabbit.
He scratched his head in confusion, just in time to see Xu Helian slowly walking out of the training room with a meaningful smile on his face.
"What did you do to my friend?" Qiao Ruiyi narrowed his eyes. Why was this guy still hanging around the base? Wasn't he supposed to rest today?
Xu Helian spread his hands innocently: "It was just a simple greeting."
It's really a coincidence.
Xu Helian paused, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, "I kind of want to get his contact information... You must not forget, if I hadn't spoken for the captain at that time, the captain might not have been able to get your contact information, and you two wouldn't be able to... be together."
Qiao Ruiyi was reluctant to refuse the other party, so he was forced to take out his cell phone: "You are really a fox."
I'm sorry, brother.
"Thank you for the compliment." Xu Helian's eyes smiled like a fox.
At the same time, He Lijie, who had already got into a taxi, touched his hot face and thought in annoyance: I will never come to this terrible base again!
His phone suddenly vibrated and a friend request popped up.
The remarks column read: Next time we play duo, I promise not to use the voice changer, and I will help you win 100 games as an apology. Can you give the professional player a friend slot?
