Chapter 65 Turn off the camera, and you belong entirely to…
You Xin's original intention was to make the other person happy, since the best way to interrupt an emotion is to cover it up with another emotion.
However, once he actually bent down, everything became uncontrollable.
The moment their lips touched, they both froze. The soft, warm touch was like a key, instantly unlocking the door to the corridor of memories.
He remembered too much, so what followed was no longer a test, but instinct, a scramble. He tasted the lingering flavor of tears between his lips, like years of unspoken emotions being crushed in a kiss, both hot and painful.
After a while, You Xin felt that the other person was having some difficulty breathing, so they separated slightly.
The person he likes has soft lips, slightly upturned at the corners, and a light color that makes people want to kiss them and possess them.
At this moment, his lips were bitten so much that they turned slightly red, and his eyes also reddened slightly.
Nan Zhiyi stood there, as if belatedly realizing something, glaring at him with a slightly annoyed expression.
Despite her anger, she didn't actually push him away. She just stood there, a little dazed, with her eyes closed, letting him do as he pleased.
You Xin thought this person was just adorable, and he reached out to wipe the corner of the other person's mouth: "You seem to have something to say."
“…………” Nan Zhiyi held back for a while, but still couldn’t help but complain, “How can you pursue someone like that?”
He said he would pursue her slowly, but the next second he was already kissing her.
You Xin blinked. "Sorry, I just couldn't resist," he said insincerely, "because I've wanted to do this for a long time."
"I picked you up by the roadside that day, and you looked up at me. From that moment on, I really wanted to kiss you, and I've been holding back until today."
Nan Zhiyi: "…………"
No way...
Heaven can bear witness that at that time he absolutely, one hundred percent, never thought that much about it.
He was so preoccupied with whether the other person still disliked him, and with that damned retirement rumor...
Seeing that he didn't speak, You Xin pressed on, "Are you angry?"
He stared at me intently: "How do you think I should apologize?"
Nan Zhiyi was afraid that his way of apologizing would be "do it again," and took a step back in fear. It wasn't that he was psychologically resistant to the other person, it was just that it was too... fast, too sudden.
Before he could speak again, You Xin's phone, which was lying to the side, suddenly rang.
You Xin had to stop his questioning. He walked over, picked up his phone, glanced at the caller ID, hesitated for a moment, and then answered, "Hello? Yes, I'm home. Him? He's here too."
"…………"
Nan Zhiyi was still a little dizzy, and he couldn't hear a single word of You Xin's conversation.
He clearly remembered that just ten minutes ago, he suddenly didn't want the other person to leave like this, so he rushed over and hugged them, somewhat losing control of his emotions, and then... how did it all suddenly turn out like this...?
Nan Zhiyi was still standing there in a daze when You Xin hung up the phone.
He looked up and asked instinctively, "Is that your car?"
You Xin looked at him with a hint of amusement: "Didn't I tell you I was lying? No car is coming to pick me up."
Nan Zhiyi: "…………" He forgot about that again!
He glanced at the pile of "packed luggage" placed to the side, which now looked incredibly pretentious, and asked incredulously, "If I hadn't stopped you, were you planning to just leave with these empty suitcases?!"
"Hmm." You Xin readily admitted, "If you don't want me to stay, it's better if I leave. Anyway, I don't have anything to take with me."
His gaze fell on Nan Zhiyi: "I used to push you too much, I couldn't control myself, I wanted everything to go smoothly... Later I realized that it's impossible for everything in this world to go smoothly."
He seemed very obedient when he said this, a stark contrast to his earlier cunning and reckless kiss. Nan Zhiyi's heart softened again.
He felt the little bit of anger in his heart vanish: "Okay...you don't need to apologize to me. I'm not angry with you anymore."
She wasn't angry, but she was genuinely shaken. Being stared at like that made Nan Zhiyi's heart pound, so she made an excuse to get some water and slipped into the kitchen.
When he calmed down and came out again, You Xin's messy luggage was gone, and You Xin himself was sitting back on the sofa, seemingly typing with someone.
Seeing him come out, You Xin looked up and said, "Old Xu said he wants to talk to you."
"Old Xu?" Nan Zhiyi didn't understand what the current manager of HYG could want from her now.
“Hmm,” You Xin said. “HYG recently wants to expand its training team, and they want to ask you… if you would be willing to join them midway and coach the HYG team together with Mike.”
-
Nan Zhiyi and Lao Xu's meeting was arranged outside. This time, You Xin unusually did not follow along, but instead left him alone in the car after dropping him off at his destination.
Old Xu greeted him warmly, and at the same time, he expressed his purpose and attitude as a professional manager.
So many things happened today that Nan Zhiyi was still completely out of it after listening to Lao Xu's story.
He asked somewhat bewilderedly, "Brother Xu, are you sure... me? To coach?"
"But I've never even played in a formal competition, and I don't have any past achievements..."
Old Xu waved his hand dismissively: "Whether you have good results or not and whether you can be a good coach are two different things. Xiao Yi, I came to you because I really believe you have the ability. You don't need to play as a coach. You just need to convey your understanding of the game and make sure the players follow your ideas."
"You don't need to worry about not being familiar with the business. Lao Mai can teach you when you get there. He speaks fluent Chinese now, with just a slight accent. Oh right, a friend of mine is going to start a coach training camp in a couple of days. It will last for about half a month and will be in time for the start of the Summer Split. It's in City B. If you want to go, we can take you there to register."
Old Xu spoke at length, then added at the end, "But ultimately, Xiao Yi, it really depends on your own wishes. You also have your own job, and if you choose to join us, it might take up your original time, so in the end it depends on..."
“It’s okay, Brother Xu, I can manage.” Nan Zhiyi interrupted Lao Xu.
He repeated firmly, "I do."
Old Xu was a little stunned at first, probably not expecting to convince the other party so easily, then he burst into laughter: "Good, good! I'm relieved that you're willing!!"
For the rest of the time, Lao Xu kept nagging Nan Zhiyi, saying that the entire competition training team in the region was not doing well, their understanding was outdated, their lineups were rigid, and they were always a step behind their opponents in training matches against other regions, which exacerbated the vicious cycle within the region...
But that wasn't what Nan Zhiyi was worried about.
"What if the other team members don't listen to me?" he asked. "I'm a little unsure if I can control them..."
Often, if the players don't listen, the coach probably doesn't know what to do.
Especially the star players on the team, sometimes they have more say than the head coach, and when they get angry they can be completely lawless.
Old Xu thought for a moment: "Well, don't worry. First of all, Xiao You will definitely listen to you. As for the others in the team..."
He lowered his voice mysteriously: "Xiao You said before that if they don't listen to him, he'll beat them up."
Nan Zhiyi's eyes widened immediately.
"Just kidding, just kidding, hahaha, hitting someone is definitely wrong!" Old Xu laughed again. "Actually, it's like this: I've already asked the other people in the team, and they said that if Yux can come, they will cooperate with all his ideas to strengthen the other positions in the team."
"So you can rest assured, they won't have any objections if you join."
"…………"
A strange, indescribable emotion welled up in Nan Zhiyi's heart.
He recalled a long time ago, on a sweltering summer day, when Lao Xu drove them to CG's youth training base for the first time.
He was busy looking around, while You Xin was only concerned about whether they could play together again.
At the time, Lao Xu said that was a privilege reserved for star players; if you wanted to, the world would revolve around you, and you could do whatever you wanted. You Xin understood and said that as long as he made a name for himself, that would be enough.
And now... he really did it.
Back in the car, Nan Zhiyi sat in the passenger seat.
You Xin was taking a nap in the car when he saw him return and immediately looked up.
Before the other party could ask a question, Nan Zhiyi spoke first: "I agree."
The weariness in You Xin's eyes vanished instantly. A smile spread across his face as he asked, "So, from now on, will I be able to see you every day?"
Nan Zhiyi nodded, her tone still somewhat hesitant: "I agree, but I don't know if I can do it well... but I will try my best."
“You will,” You Xin said. “I know.”
The car drove out into the night, and Nan Zhiyi absentmindedly scrolled through her phone with her head down.
I was just about to casually open Weibo to take a look, but then I suddenly remembered something.
"...Um," he began, sounding a bit troubled, "about what happened with that accidental live stream I did before, what do you think is the best way to handle it?"
Even now, thinking back on it still gives Nan Zhiyi the creeps.
At least tens of thousands of people, no, now the whole world, heard him say in the live stream, "Let's stop selling bromance"...
You Xin stared intently ahead: "Let's do it the way you want."
"...What I want?"
"'No more selling bromance'?"
"…………"
After much back and forth, the other party finally agreed to his request.
Although it seems to have evolved into a completely different form now...
You Xin drove the car back to the residential area and parked it in the parking space.
Nan Zhiyi was still worried: "How am I going to explain this to the fans?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than his seatbelt was unbuckled.
You Xin leaned over from the driver's seat, cupped his face in her hands, and kissed him on the cheek.
"Actually, I don't like playing the 'bromance' card with you at all," he said seriously.
Nan Zhiyi: "…………?"
Before he could fully grasp the meaning of those words, You Xin had already turned and left, getting out of the car.
The gentle evening breeze of early summer flowed in, caressing my face and bringing a slow, warm feeling.
Those pointless performances on screen were nothing more than my tests of you.
Now that the camera is off, you belong entirely to me.
