Chapter 55 Jinjiang Novel Reading Exclusive I will practice alone...
Sitting down again, Shi Jing realized that he had overreacted.
Fortunately, the others didn't pay much attention, and the coach was still talking about the jump points for each map in the four-player competition next season.
A-lzy: I'm sorry.
Another message appeared on the phone screen.
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing put the phone upside down on the table.
Why the damn phone case won't fit the screen properly? The little gap that sticks out keeps letting light in. It lights up every time Lu Zhiye posts a message, making it even more eye-catching than if it were upright.
Half a minute later, he turned the damn phone over.
I received seven or eight messages, all from Lu Zhiye.
【A-lzy: Are you angry again? 】
After listening to Coach Wan's tactics for a while, Shi Jing calmed down and typed a few words in reply.
【s: I'm not angry. Why should I be angry? 】
【A-lzy: I bumped into you by accident. 】
【s：……】
never mind.
Shi Jing turned off the phone screen.
Or maybe his mother stopped talking to him. After just a few words, the fire that had been extinguished was starting to burn again in his heart.
But Shi Jing didn't mean anything sarcastic on purpose, he really wasn't angry.
It was just a weird dream, the time and place were absolutely impossible for it to happen. How could he be angry about such an illusory thing?
He's not crazy.
But why did he have this dream?
The moment Lu Zhiye touched his fingers...
I believe that the group of loving sisters and brothers popped up a few new messages at this time——
Matt: Are you guys done with the meeting?
Matt: @s, Sweetie, amazing news, hahahaha.
Matt: Vally broke up!
Matt: This dog, I finally don’t have to listen to him saying “Baby I miss you so much, baby kiss kiss kiss” every day, ugh——
[Tao Xiaoman:? ]
Tao Xiaoman: Who? Vally? The one from your second team?
【Matt: Sister! 】
Matt: Yeah, that's him. Damn, sis, you have no idea how outrageous he is. During the last few days of the duo tournament, I've been fucking hearing him video-calling his girlfriend every day, kissing her, watching movies and sleeping on the mic. Holy shit!
[Tao Xiaoman: You were so close? Why did you break up so suddenly?]
Matt: I don't know. He got dumped! The reason doesn't matter, man. Being single is a great time to improve your shooting skills, not just lie in bed and kiss each other, okay?
Shi Jing narrowed his eyes.
Oh shit.
The culprit came to our door.
It must be because he heard Vally making an abstract phone call with his girlfriend that day, saying "baby" all the time, and Lu Zhiye kept talking about "sweetness", that he had this dream.
Who in their right mind would encounter these two people consecutively? Anyone who hears such a powerful conversation all at once would have nightmares.
After the meeting, Shi Jing went to the bathroom immediately, turned on the cold water and poured it on his face. He kept doing it until the heat on his cheeks was no longer so noticeable, and then he reluctantly stopped.
I looked in the mirror and my face was normal.
The ears are not red either.
Shi Jing wiped the water droplets still dripping down and walked out.
At the door of the training room, Lu Zhiye blocked him.
The latter held a large bag of Little Boss seaweed in his hand. Shi Jing knew what he meant at a glance: "No fight."
Lu Zhiye hadn't even gotten around to asking the question "double row".
He paused and blinked.
"Don't ask why." Shi Jing interrupted the spell again, "I don't want to..."
"Did I hurt you just now?" Lu Zhiye was unable to predict what he was doing.
Shi Jing: “…”
Lu Zhiye drooped his eyelids and looked at the fingers of his right hand.
Shi Jing tensed up and controlled himself so as not to back off.
"It hurts so much with just one poke. Do you think my hands are made of tofu?" He said in a hard voice, turning his face away and not looking at the person next to him.
The reaction was so strong that it nearly overturned the chairs in the conference room.
Lu Zhiye raised his eyebrows, which was rare.
Then ask the previous question: "Can we play duo at night?"
Shi Jing: “…”
After taking precautions for a long time, it still didn't work.
Shi Jing said nothing.
After a few seconds of silence, he said sullenly, "Let's talk about it tonight."
Jiang Yuan, who was standing behind them, looked at Song Jiahang with a somewhat puzzled expression.
He had been listening to the two of them chirping quietly for a long time. Although he was wearing in-ear headphones, they were not worn properly and the video on his phone was turned off. He could still hear their conversation at such a close distance, especially when he was concentrating and curious that day.
But I didn't understand a word.
What do you mean by "does it hurt?" Sweet suddenly jumped up during the meeting just now. Was it because of Lu Ge's poke?
Why did Brother Lu poke him? Did they have a conflict?
Why do we need to divide the time between duo queues?
It was just a duo match, but he seemed to have missed a lot and could no longer understand the communication between his two teammates.
Jiang Yuan was confused and couldn't help but glance to the side. Before he could say anything, the fat manager came over again.
"You two want to play in a duo?" He was stunned when he saw Lu Zhiye and Shi Jing pull out the training room chairs in sync.
Shi Jing also paused.
"No duo queue." He replied.
"That's perfect, Xiao Lu," the chubby manager said. "I have an event offered by a live streaming platform. I asked Lao Wan, and he said you don't have any training matches scheduled today. Can you spare some time?"
Lu Zhiye: "What activity?"
"What other activities can we have? We'll let you and the anchor assigned by the platform bring in some traffic." The fat manager said, "I've reviewed the person assigned. Her name is Tiantu, and she's also an anchor from Apex. She should be someone our partner platform wants to promote right now. She has pretty good business skills and is a technical talent."
You can tell it’s a female anchor as soon as you hear her name.
But it's normal. Most professional players are men, and they can only produce good shows when they work with female anchors. This kind of occasional collaboration has been seen frequently in the past.
Lu Zhiye is the captain of SFD and one of the best players in the domestic division. It is not surprising that he received an invitation to such a live broadcast event.
Lu Zhiye: "Now?"
"Not now, this afternoon or evening, what time is it..." The fat manager unlocked his tablet, "Let me see what they sent. They called me out of the blue today, and I didn't plan it in advance... Anyway, it definitely won't affect your training. It happens to be peak time for watching live broadcasts right after training."
Shi Jing sat down in the gaming chair, glancing at the game screen that was starting up on the computer screen from an unsteady position. From the corner of his eye, he could just see Lu Zhiye and the fat manager standing next to him.
Lu Zhiye still sat there properly, waiting for the fat manager to look through the information on the tablet.
Training completed.
Doesn’t that mean Lu Zhiye is going to play duo with the female anchor tonight?
Shi Jing turned his head abruptly.
Oh shit.
It was none of his business who Lu Zhiye was duo-queuing with. He had no plans to continue playing against him tonight anyway.
It would be better to duo queue with the female anchor, so that she wouldn't come to him again tonight and ask if they could duo queue. If she said a few more words about being intimate, he would continue to have an outrageous dream tonight, and tomorrow in the SFD base, only one of Lu Zhiye and him would survive.
"Can't we change it to now?" My thoughts were racing when I heard the person in the camera next to me ask.
Fat Manager: “Now?”
"Change the live broadcast to now." Lu Zhiye said.
Jiang Yuan on the other side also said: "Huh? Brother, you don't want to train anymore, and now you go play games with a beautiful sister? Damn, where does this sweet rabbit come from? I want to see how beautiful she is."
Shi Jing's hand holding the mouse paused.
"...Aren't you guys supposed to be training right now?" the fat manager said. "This kind of thing definitely can't affect training. Besides, at this time, in the middle of the day, the livestream isn't going to be very effective. I need to ask the platform again."
"No need to ask." Lu Zhiye said, "If you can't change it, just reject it."
"Push... You haven't read the contract yet. The platform offers a very high price." The fat manager felt that it would be a pity not to take the job since he could make money from the free traffic.
Lu Zhiye: "No, I don't have time."
"?" The fat manager lowered his head and glanced at the training schedule he had arranged. "Don't you have anything free tonight?"
Lu Zhiye: "Something happened."
Fat Manager: “Going home again?”
"No." Lu Zhiye said, turning his head to the right, "I want to duo queue with Sweet."
Fat manager: “?”
Shi Jing: “?”
Jiang Yuan also followed: "?"
Before Shi Jing could finish his thought, the fat manager asked again, "You guys are still duo-queuing after the duo match? Practicing? You wouldn't practice that late... What are you doing?"
Shi Jing: “…”
The training room was eerily quiet for a few seconds.
Just when Shi Jing couldn't help but want to speak, Lu Zhiye said, "I've already told him about it before."
Shi Jing: “?”
When did we agree on this? How come he doesn’t know?
Lu Zhiye: "Go and tell the platform to cancel it. Just say I have extra training tonight and I don't have time."
He wasn't given any chance to ask further questions.
Fat manager: “…”
The fat manager thought to himself, thank you, this reputation of exploiting players has come uninvited.
But since Lu Zhiye had clearly stated that he didn't want to take the job, he naturally couldn't force him to take it. Cooperation with the platform was mutually beneficial, and SFD had no shortage of that.
"Great! Dazhuang and I won't disturb you in the duo queue tonight, so let's practice four-person team now?" Jiang Yuan was so happy that he immediately took off his headphones. "Come on, come on, join the group. Whatever support you want today, Brother Yuan will satisfy you."
Shi Jing sat on the chair for a few seconds and wiped his face: "Wait a minute, I'll go get some coffee."
If he continued to stay in the same room with Lu Zhiye, he was afraid that the other party would say something shocking in the next second and he would not be able to silence him in time.
"Okay, I can make fresh coffee at the coffee machine. Come back quickly after you're done." Jiang Yuan didn't notice anything wrong between the two teammates next to him, and couldn't wait to rub his hands.
The tea room was right next to the training room. Shi Jing turned on the coffee machine, watched the machine running, and let out a breath.
There was a sound of a door opening behind me.
Lu Zhiye also followed.
Shi Jing ignored him and didn't look back, just pretending that this person didn't exist.
SFD equipped all the players with water cups, which were distributed on the first day they arrived at the club. They were the same style and quite exquisite. Everyone had their own ID on them.
He was using the coffee machine. Lu Zhiye waited for a while, but Shi Jing showed no intention of talking to him.
Out of the corner of his eye, Shi Jing saw him standing there and finishing the rest of the cup without leaving. He turned on another coffee machine, put the coffee in it, and continued to stand beside him.
Shi Jing: “…”
The hum of two coffee machines filled the room.
"When did I tell you that we should play in a duo?" Finally, Shi Jing couldn't help but ask.
The look on Lu Zhiye's face when he said those words just now was so calm and familiar that if he didn't know the inside story, he would have been fooled into thinking that he was telling the truth.
It turns out this person can lie without batting an eyelid?
"I don't want to play duo with her." Lu Zhiye glanced at him and lowered his eyelashes. "Then can you play duo with me tonight?"
The voice sounded a little aggrieved.
Shi Jing: “…”
Fortunately, no one recognized him or went in at this moment. The tea room and the training room were separated by an aisle, and there was no one else in the aisle or near the door, so no one would notice the abnormality in this conversation.
"Brother, come quickly. I just received news that four people from LA are also trying to rush to the rankings today. The four of us will go and ram them into a car and break his hunting dream with one shot." Jiang Yuan raised his head and waved at them at the door of the training room, asking them to hurry over.
"It depends on your performance." Shi Jing said vaguely, and he was eager to get away from this place as soon as possible, the farther away from Lu Zhiye the better.
He picked up the cup and took a sip to calm himself down as he walked.
"What kind of performance..." Lu Zhiye followed closely behind him, and when he was halfway through his words, the person in front of him suddenly stopped.
But before Shi Jing could speak, he noticed Lu Zhiye's confused expression.
"?" He squinted his eyes, holding the coffee he hadn't swallowed yet.
Just about to speak——
Lu Zhiye looked down at the coffee cup in his hand.
The complete ID cannot be seen, but there is a large S on the side facing him.
Shi Jing: “?”
Shi Jing also lowered his head.
His eyes met the cup he had just taken a sip from.
A neat Wild.
"Cough——" The sudden and choking cough almost overturned the entire training room, "Cough cough cough——"
"Holy crap!" Jiang Yuan was terrified. "Tiantian, Tiantian, what's wrong with you?! Oh my god, hold on! I'll call the team doctor right away!"
"Ahem..." Shi Jing pressed his phone while dying, "Don't..."
Jiang Yuan: “?”
"Ahem, don't call the team doctor, I'm fine." Shi Jing coughed and said a broken sentence. He turned his back to everyone, put the cup of coffee on the table, and sat back in his seat.
"Oh, really? If you still feel uncomfortable, feel free to tell me." Jiang Yuan also returned to his camera seat.
The economic climate is very low.
It's not right to put the coffee cup back, and it's not right not to put it back.
There are mostly boys in e-sports clubs, so it’s okay to use the wrong things.
It wasn't a big deal. Shi Jing wasn't that obsessed with mysophobia.
But ever since Mr. Lu Zhiye said those words to him, he began to pay attention to this aspect.
And this is Lu Zhiye’s cup.
It was the cup he had just finished drinking from in front of him.
If he was lucky enough, he might even be drinking in the same place as Lu Zhiye.
The place where Lu Zhiye's lips had touched just a second ago.
“…” Shi Jing pinched the armrest of the chair.
The person in the next camera seat hasn't said a word since the beginning, and is consciously trying to reduce his presence.
After a while, Shi Jing felt that he had almost recovered. As long as he didn't think about it, he would just pretend it didn't happen.
“Boom.”
His own cup was placed before him by a hand.
Lu Zhiye let go quickly and took his hand back quickly as well.
"Don't play duo with me tonight, got it." When he got his cup of coffee back, he added the answer to the question in a low voice.
Shi Jing: “…”
You still have the nerve to say that?
Lu Zhiye: "I will practice on my own, it's okay."
Shi Jing: “…”
