After all, having been the captain of Zhou Shi for several years, Chu Lu still knows the character of this world's destined child, who is actually a well-hidden social phobia.
——The kind of person who starts feeling anxious and short of breath half a month in advance of a party.
However, because of his naturally distant appearance, rare facial expressions, and the aura of genius, most people who are not familiar with him define him as "aloof."
In fact,
Just now outside the Tianque Lounge, if Chu Lu hadn't suddenly come back, Zhou Shi would have probably been so stiff that he couldn't speak.
After all, he is a semi-public figure. Chu Lu originally thought that over the years, this problem of the Child of Destiny would have improved to some extent. But now it seems that this personality that is close to the character setting is probably difficult to change.
If I have to say...
It's not that there is no progress at all, at least it's completely invisible when it comes to media interviews.
…
Although he had no idea why the other party came to see him at this moment, Chu Lu still got Zhou Shi out of the "social phobia hell" of facing a room full of strangers as quickly as possible.
When I walked out, I realized that the other party had actually sent me a message a few minutes ago to tell me that he was coming over.
But at that time he was probably walking back with a bunch of food and didn't notice the movement of the light brain.
Chu Lu stared at the message interface for a moment.
The last message Zhou Shi sent him when he told him he was coming over was the message from many years ago.
[I will win, Captain.]
It’s been so long…
Chu Lu was a little distracted, but he still skillfully led the person to a secluded place suitable for conversation.
Although Tianque is playing away this time, the layout of the Wangfeng Stadium has not changed much over the years, and Chu Lu still has a vague memory of it.
Along the way, Zhou Shi followed obediently behind him, waiting until Chu Lu stopped and turned around, then he stopped at a distance of one body length from Chu Lu.
Chu Lu: "..."
It feels like I'm carrying some large pet.
He calmed himself down, put this illusion behind him, and asked directly: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Without saying anything, Zhou Shi raised his hand and handed over a small bag.
Chu Lu was quite used to his style of "not talking much and taking action most of the time", but he was still confused by the other party's behavior of handing things over to him.
——Could it be a greeting gift from the host?
Thinking about it, I felt a little regretful: I should have bought an extra portion when I bought food for Tianque's group of kids, as a return gift.
Despite this, Chu Lu still happily took the bag, but after seeing what was inside, he was slightly stunned.
——It’s championship rings and medals.
It is the season when “Lin Changlu” encounters unexpected events.
The medal is fine, but this "championship ring"...
Chu Lu took the one-sided transparent jewelry box out of the bag and said, "Give this to me. Is that okay?"
The championship trophies of the professional league in another world - gilded cup, championship ring, and gold medal.
The gilded cup will be kept by the winning team for one season, and then handed over to the champion of the next season; the championship ring and gold medal can be kept forever, and every member of the gold medal team has one, but there is only one championship ring, which is usually given to the team captain for safekeeping.
And now, regarding Chu Lu's question...
The young man who had been regarded as a god in this circle for many years looked at him seriously and said, "It's yours."
He paused, then addressed him again seriously: "Captain."
Even the tone of voice hasn't changed much from before.
Chu Lu smiled helplessly, "I am not your 'captain' now, but——"
He shook the jewelry box that contained the ring and said, "I'll take this."
The corners of Zhou Shi's lips twitched slightly. Although there was no change in his facial expression, Chu Lu still judged based on his experience that the other party was smiling.
It really hasn't changed at all.
Being led by the opponent, Chu Lu felt a slight sense of time and space confusion, and subconsciously said, "Today's game was played well."
As if surprised by this unexpected compliment, a look of astonishment flashed across the young man's eyes.
But his eyes only remained wide open for a moment before they were pulled by his muscles and bent a little bit.
This was a smile that was even more obvious than before, "…Thank you, Captain."
Chu Lu: "..."
“…………”
Suppressing the subtle emotions and realizing that Lou Shao should be waiting for them outside the stadium, Chu Lu finally nodded to Zhou Shi and said goodbye.
But after taking a few steps, he was stopped by a voice behind him.
Chu Lu turned back upon hearing the voice——
Because it was an evening match, it was already completely dark. The lights in the distance were reflected in the young man's eyes, which looked bright and clear, as if there was no change from the past.
He spoke each word with emphasis, "Wang Feng will not lose."
Chu Lu suddenly recalled the message he had just seen many years ago.
——[I will win, Captain.]
But now the meaning is completely different.
Chu Lu smiled, "We won't either."
…
See you at the track. / See you at the track.
Chu Lu actually didn't walk very far. Relying on his familiarity with the venue, he took a slight detour and walked back to where he started.
Then, I saw...
A group of sneaky little dogs, wearing white clothes and wandering around in other people's venues late at night.
——Just around the corner where he had just talked with Zhou Shi.
Liang Qixian, who was obviously the leader of the evil deeds, was gesticulating with his back to him. It seemed that he was so absorbed in the gesture that even Chu Lu's deliberately heavy footsteps did not alarm him. In the end, he turned around in confusion because of the direction problem and the teammate who was facing Chu Lu.
Liang Qixian:!!!
Chu Lu: "..."
Looking at the boy who was stiff and motionless, Chu Lu was helpless: If you will be scared, don’t do such a weird thing!
Chu Lu, who could barely hold back the sigh of an old father, finally took the group of brats back to the hovercraft outside.
——It was also thanks to his familiarity with Wangfeng’s venue that he was able to lead his men out from the inside, otherwise he would have been embarrassed in front of other people.
It was only after Chu Lu returned that he discovered that the bag contained not only championship rings and medals, but also a photo - which was obviously synthesized in post-production.
It’s not that Chu Lu has done much research on this technology, but when this photo was taken, he should still be in the hospital, and it was obviously impossible for him to be surrounded by people at the award ceremony like in the photo.
Chu Lu made a quick comparison and easily determined that the "Lin Changlu" above was cut out from a photo of the award ceremony of the previous season.
However, the photo was processed very carefully, and there are almost no traces of splicing. Moreover, looking at the particularly harmonious standing positions after processing, it can be seen that the position of "Lin Chang Road" was obviously reserved when the photo was taken.
Chu Lu stared at it for a while and couldn't help laughing.
He used his laptop to take a picture of himself grabbing the photo and sent it over, with the note, "Thank you very much, for your trouble. Please thank them for me as well."
The other side quickly replied with a [. ].
Unlike some social phobias who behave completely differently online and offline, Zhou Shi is actually an ultimate social phobia patient with the same style online and offline. However, based on his understanding over the years, Chu Lu was able to easily judge what the other party wanted to express from this period - translated roughly it means "You're welcome", "It's not a bother", "Okay, I'll convey them".
He smiled.
On the other side, Tianque’s group of brats divided up the snacks and drinks along the way, and immediately revived to full health on the spot. They finally remembered to come over and thank the investor for his guidance.
Liang Qixian, who volunteered to be the representative, happened to see his mentor looking at the gift bag and smiling as if he was particularly happy.
——The Wangfeng team logo on the bag hit my eyes directly.
Liang Qixian:!!!
That bastard really had evil intentions!
——How shameless, even trying to bribe them for guidance! !
Even God cannot forgive me!!!
Just wait for me!
Chu Lu felt that the atmosphere in the team was a bit strange recently.
If I have to say something, it’s that everyone on the team is too self-conscious.
It’s not that they didn’t have this awareness in the past.
Every day's training is completed on time, and few people are lazy.
However, this time it is different. Not only will it be delivered on time, but the quantity will also be increased proactively.
Chu Lu:? ?
While this is a small comfort, overtraining is not a good thing, especially during competition.
Chu Lu strictly prohibited it several times, but he still caught the team members secretly training at night several times.
This happens for no reason, it's really weird.
Chu Lu originally thought that this was because they had lost to Wangfeng in the first game of the regular season, which triggered this unwillingness to admit defeat. However, this process had lasted too long. It was not like they had lost to other teams before, and it was not like this now, right?
According to the generosity of these kids, there is nothing that can't be solved with a snack. If one meal isn't enough, then two meals will do.
Chu Lu decided to solve the problem from the root.
He set his sights on Lou Shao, who seemed to know something about the inside story.
Lou Shao: "..." #stiff.jpg#
"They just lost before and they are not convinced."
Chu Lu smiled.
Lou Shao: “…”
Under the smiling gaze of the great devil Lin, he became even stiffer.
After a long silence, he whispered, "If you don't win this time, do you plan to go to Wangfeng next?"
Chu Lu:? ? ?
Lou Shao looked at the expression on Chu Lu's face and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay, I'm just asking."
He said that it was just a bunch of blind guesses by those kids.
What does "If we don't win, the coach will have to go back to Wangfeng as captain" mean?
He spoke with such confidence that even he began to worry about his future.
Chu Lu: "..."
If he remembered correctly, this club was funded by Brother Lin and was registered under his name.
I’ve heard of “players” transferring, and I’ve also heard of “coaches” transferring…
But, have you ever heard of the "boss" transferring? !
——He went to look for the beacon?
Should he bring the entire Tianque Club to join the merger? !
