Chapter 67 Jinjiang Novel Reading Exclusive Two Updates in One. ...
Without anyone else in the four-person team that night, the intensity of the game was raised several levels.
Fortunately, we didn't encounter any other teams from the European and American servers that came over for show this time. Although the battle was fierce, we were still able to advance to the next level. In just over an hour, we raised all four of our accounts by a large margin.
Coach Wan emphasized many important things in the meeting and asked Shi Jing, Jiang Yuan and Song Jiahang to practice cooperation more. Jiang Yuan was okay. His core support idea was to revolve around his teammates, which complemented Shi Jing's offensive style.
Song Jiahang's ideas would occasionally differ from theirs, mainly because before Shi Jing joined SFD, the entire team was centered around Lu Zhiye, and Lu Zhiye was a sniper, so it was impossible for him to take on the responsibility of rushing to the front to create an output environment. This role more or less fell on Song Jiahang, who played a heavy hero.
Song Jiahang's game thinking is mainly stable, and his style is completely opposite to Shi Jing's.
But there is no need for other people to get along. Jiang Yuan alone is enough to have a "friendly" exchange with Song Jiahang for a whole night.
"You didn't have to be so conservative in that position just now. I have E, my passive, and a gold shield. Even if you were to fall, Sweet could definitely withstand the firepower of those two." After the round, Jiang Yuan immediately opened the replay and began to investigate the insider. "You retreated. There's a cliff behind us, no place to stand. They also have a thunderbolt. Even if their Q doesn't kill anyone, it will put us in a very passive position."
"Look. Sweet is squeezing in from the right and rushing over. You push him to the front, and Brother Lu can snipe from behind."
It was a rare moment for Song Jiahang to not object this time. "Oh my god, I'll try to bet with him next time."
"That's right! Dazhuang is awesome." Jiang Yuan insisted on jumping into other people's minefields a few more times, "Don't worry, go ahead, I'll definitely support you from behind, muah."
Listening to the sounds of his two teammates next to him gradually turning from normal communication into bickering as usual, and Zhou Lian typing on the keyboard on the other side, Shi Jing looked at the search queue on the computer screen. He changed his sitting position several times, but still felt uncomfortable.
A high-score ranked match lasts long enough to watch half a movie. Shi Jing sat for a while longer, and finally couldn't help but glance to the left while adjusting his headphones.
Lu Zhiye sat there without any change, staring straight at the screen, starting a round at the shooting range and practicing shooting.
Today's temperature is the coolest in the past few days. Lu Zhiye didn't wear a coat, only a thin home clothes.
She didn't dress up in any way, even her hair was casually half-lifted up, and she seemed to have a refreshing temperament that could not be found in anyone else.
Very clean.
Shi Jing discovered that he had the habit of pulling his right sleeve up to his elbow.
Maybe it’s because of his habit of playing sniper, the pressure amplitude jumps more than others, and his entire forearm is placed diagonally on the table.
His posture was a bit tense, and you could see the muscular lines of his forearms.
But it's not an exaggeration at all.
It's still a bit exaggerated. Anyway, when he grabbed his arm a few times before, Shi Jing could clearly feel that Lu Zhiye's sense of strength was inconsistent with his appearance.
It is also possible that it is actually quite consistent with his appearance, and his subconscious mind is always at work, imposing those previously non-existent stereotypes such as weak young master on Lu Zhiye, when in fact he has nothing to do with these words at all.
At least when I pinched his palm last time, I could still feel the calluses from Lu Zhiye's palm——
The man who was holding the gun suddenly stopped.
She raised her eyelashes and turned her eyes slightly towards Shi Jing, but for some reason, she stopped just before Shi Jing was about to look away.
Then, the moment Shi Jing relaxed his vigilance and stopped sitting upright, Lu Zhiye looked over.
Shi Jing: “…”
damn it?
Lu Zhiye blinked slowly, looked at him first, then looked at his computer screen, and didn't see anything wrong.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"." Shi Jing stiffly avoided eye contact, even changing his crooked sitting posture to a serious one, "Nothing."
Fortunately, a match notification popped up within two seconds, ending the conversation before it even started.
I didn't match up with other players in this round, and today's ranking went surprisingly smoothly.
Lu Zhiye is a sniper, so follow him all the way and give him priority if there are any good gun accessories.
These little actions happened very secretly. Lu Zhiye didn't say anything, and Shi Jing certainly didn't shout out loud. Even Jiang Yuan, the gossip detector, didn't notice it.
He had fought like this before.
This was not the first or second time that he openly gave things to Shi Jing.
But today, the more I fight, the more anxious I become.
Another game ended, and Shi Jing even took the time to open his phone and check the temperature.
15 degrees.
It got a little chilly at night, and the temperature was so cool that it couldn't be any cooler.
damn it.
Is this temperature display really accurate?
Before searching for a new game, Shi Jing stood up, said "I'm going to the bathroom", pushed his chair away and left the training room.
I went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face several times, and finally I felt a little cooler.
After standing for a few more minutes to make sure it looked like he had gone to the restroom, Shi Jing returned to his seat.
It was clear the new season was truly approaching. The match against SKIL had ignited everyone's competitive spirit within SFD. By nine o'clock, everyone was still fighting. Even Jiang Yuan, who loved to slack off, had taken advantage of the matchmaking time to open the shooting range and practice his electric girl combos.
"The last one." Seeing him coming, Jiang Yuan said, "It should be just in time after the game, and it will be a perfect end to today's ranking."
The fat manager set a training time for them that they could not get off the plane later than 10:30 pm. Nothing is more important than the health of the players.
Of course, special circumstances during the competition period are not included.
Shi Jing had no objection to these. He said "hmm" and sat back in his seat a little absent-mindedly.
He felt sleepy playing ranked matches without much intensity, so he simply didn't want to play Power Boy anymore and switched to the Undead, which didn't require as much skill.
Lu Zhiye's touch and luck were both off the charts. Not only did the first airdrop land in their faces, but it also contained a Kreber.
When the battle was over, Lu Zhiye got the most kills, while Shi Jing, who was charging ahead all the way, dealt the most damage.
"Great! Perfect ending! If only every day could be like this—" Jiang Yuan kicked the gaming chair towards Shi Jing and Lu Zhiye. Before he could finish his words, a friend request popped up on Shi Jing's face. "Seafood TV - Favorite Hot Pot wants to add you as a friend? Sweet, a host has added you."
Shi Jing: “?”
He didn't even notice what it was, he just saw a box pop up, and subconsciously thought it was information within the game and pressed enter. When Jiang Yuan read it out, Shi Jing realized it was a friend request.
【Seafood TV-My favorite hot pot has become your friend. 】
【Seafood TV-My Favorite Hot Pot is now online.】
A series of system prompts.
Zhou Li'an, who had just finished a game when he heard them talking, turned around and asked, "Who loves hot pot the most? The most famous female anchor on Seafood TV?"
"You mean Sister Bing?" Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up. "Ah? Is this her?"
Zhou Li'an thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, I remember her Apex account was called this."
Seafood TV isn't the largest live streaming platform, but it has the largest female user base. Everyone here has heard of Sister Bing, a super-rich woman who has dabbled in every FPS game on the market, Apex being just one of them.
What she is most famous for is not her skills, her voice or her appearance - almost all the people who hang out in her live broadcast room are there to see the rich sister all in on game skins.
From lucky draws to event skins, no matter what game, as long as she plays, the mall will be cleared out within a day. In addition, her personal aesthetic is very good, and her fan base is of high quality.
But it is rare to see Sister Bing actively follow any contestant.
To be precise, almost none.
Before Shi Jing could react, several more private chats popped up.
[[Private Chat] Seafood TV-My Favorite Hot Pot: Is it Brother Sweet?!]
[[Private Chat] Seafood TV - I love hotpot: I actually got accepted as a friend, yay!]
[[Private Chat] Seafood TV - I love hotpot: I saw you last time I went to watch the duo match. I called out to you when we were entering, but you ignored me. TT]
"Huh? What happened? Sister Bing came to meet you the other day?" Jiang Yuan used his superb eyesight to see the latest news in the private chat. He said with a tone of congratulations, "You're so impressive! So impressive?"
Shi Jing: “?”
Shi Jing frowned: "When did I——"
"It's okay, she must be a fan." Zhou Lian looked at his expression and mistakenly thought that Shi Jing was embarrassed.
Jiang Yuan: "Sweet, don't be shy. It's normal to be liked by others. When Dazhuang participated in the World Championship for the first time, a female fan came to the waiting room to give him a gift. His face was even redder than yours."
Shi Jing: “?”
Why is he blushing?
There was nothing wrong with what he said. Apex had a lot of female players, and naturally there were a lot of female fans who would go to the games. It was normal to be liked, even by a famous female streamer. Shi Jing himself had witnessed the deafening and crazy scenes of countless World Championships.
But inexplicably, his eyes drifted towards Lu Zhiye.
The latter, as if he hadn't heard them, took off his headphones and was packing up his peripherals. From his angle, he couldn't see any change in his emotions.
"Ah, she texted you again and gave you a gift?" Jiang Yuan's eyes widened. "What the hell?"
Shi Jing turned around and saw that within just a few words, Hotpot Lover had sent three or four private messages and a gift box popped up.
A Power Boy activity skin.
Jiang Yuan: "Fuck, has Sister Bing ever given gifts to other people?"
Zhou Li'an scratched his head: "No."
"Sweet, you're awesome! This is a really rich woman, and she's pretty too." Jiang Yuan said, "I thought more people who came to watch the doubles match would like Brother Lu—Hey, what are you doing?"
Shi Jing pulled out his chair, his mouse already on the screen options: "How do I return a gift?"
"Return?" Jiang Yuan was stunned. "There should be an option where you received the gift. Look for it..."
It is indeed not a good idea to accept gifts from girls right away. Their club previously refused to accept any gifts from fans. Later, when other clubs started to operate in this area, SFD began to accept gifts from fans again.
But I only accept a small amount of things that are not worth much but are very thoughtful. On the one hand, it is to interact with the players' fans and keep up with the trend.
Shi Jing now received a gift from a well-known female anchor. Although he was happy, when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed easy for him to be led astray by others.
But Jiang Yuan looked at Shi Jing, who was bent over and looked a little flustered...
shy?
Not like that.
It seems like he did something wrong and was caught on the spot.
When Shi Jing's mouse slipped for the third time and he failed to successfully click on the Apex customer service form, Jiang Yuan swallowed his throat and said, "Xiao Tiantian, don't be nervous. It's nothing. If it doesn't work, call customer service..."
Shi Jing: “?”
Shi Jing: "I'm nervous?"
Why is he nervous?
Why should he be nervous? Isn't it normal for female fans to add him as a friend? In the past, his female fans would surround the venue for several times, and the gifts they gave him would pile up like a mountain. They included all kinds of female celebrities, female anchors, and female hosts.
Besides, it wasn't him who added it on his own initiative. Doesn't he look like the kind of person who would get nervous about something like this? Lu Zhiye tidied up the mouse pad, stood up, and the keyboard dust cover fell on the table with a "click".
Shi Jing: “.”
"No. You're not nervous, I'm too nervous." Although Jiang Yuan didn't understand why, his intuition told him that the person in front of him was not easy to deal with at the moment, and comforting him was more important. "It's rare to see teammates being added as friends and given gifts by beautiful anchors. I don't have much experience, I was just too excited."
"..." Shi Jing didn't say another word and directly clicked to return the gift.
My favorite hotpot lover sent me two question marks.
Shi Jing: "I'm returning the gift."
I don’t know who he was talking to here, but his tone was rather harsh.
After he finished speaking, he himself felt that this behavior was a bit strange. He paused for half a second and said: "Just delete the friend directly? Or do you want to say something?"
"Uh, it seems impolite to delete her directly. Let me see if she's live streaming now." After all, the other party didn't do anything, just adding her as a friend and sending her gifts normally. Jiang Yuan scratched his head, "Or maybe you could say something?"
Shi Jing already had his hands on the keyboard, editing some text.
Just not very good at it.
EVG doesn't have the same excellent management as SFD. He never accepted any gifts there. Even if he did, he wouldn't give it to Shi Jing. Not to mention how to return someone else's gift.
"He said, 'Sorry, private accounts don't add friends. I clicked the wrong button just now.'" Lu Zhiye's voice came over.
The entire training room was silent for a few seconds.
Shi Jing remained typing on the keyboard, standing in front of the computer screen.
In half a second, he typed out these words and sent them. The other party quickly replied that he understood.
Shi Jing deleted the friend smoothly.
Jiang Yuan: "Okay, that should be fine now. I don't often add anyone other than the contestants on my main account, so I'm sure everyone will understand. Sweet, you don't have to feel burdened."
Shi Jing: “…”
He has no psychological burden.
Bullshit.
The others walked out of the training room arm in arm, leaving only him and Lu Zhiye inside.
Even though the other person didn't show any change in expression, Shi Jing could still sense Lu Zhiye's emotional fluctuations from the subtle changes in his eyes and the millimeter-level differences in the corners of his mouth.
Shi Jing glanced at the medicine delivery in the same city on his phone, which showed that it was almost arriving at their base.
How can I send medicine to a pharmacy halfway across the city?
He opened and closed the app repeatedly. When he looked up, Lu Zhiye had put his peripherals in place and was putting on his coat.
Wear it with your back to him.
Shi Jing: “…”
With my back to him, I pushed the gaming chair into the camera bay and placed it in place.
Shi Jing followed him.
Lu Zhiye opened the door and went out.
Shi Jing stood with him in front of the two elevators.
Finally, seeing Lu Zhiye pressing the upstairs button in the opposite direction of his, Shi Jing couldn't help but say, "I listened to you and deleted my friend. Why are you still unhappy?"
There was no one else in the base right now, so I could ask openly.
Lu Zhiye: “No.”
"?" Shi Jing put his hand in his right coat pocket and didn't get in the elevator. "If you pull your face down any further, it will fall directly to the ground. Do you mean you are not happy?"
Lu Zhiye finally turned around.
The elevator behind him also arrived at the floor at the same time and opened its doors.
The light from behind made Lu Zhiye's deep eyebrows appear even colder than usual.
He looked at Shi Jing for a while and lowered his eyelashes: "I'm not unhappy."
Shi Jing: “…”
OK.
Whatever you want to say is what it is.
It's unnecessary to care——
Lu Zhiye suddenly looked up at Shi Jing and asked, "Isn't this type of female anchor your type?"
Shi Jing: “?”
Shi Jing: "What do you mean?"
"She liked you very much, added you as a friend, and sent you gifts." Lu Zhiye said, "You refused."
Shi Jing: “?”
Lu Zhiye: "She's not your type."
Shi Jing: “?”
Lu Zhiye's tone was so calm that Shi Jing couldn't tell whether he was unhappy or just analyzing. "The female anchor last time was a very cute girl, but you didn't like her either."
Shi Jing: “?”
Lu Zhiye: "I still don't like girls who are the opposite this time."
Shi Jing began to have that long-lost bad premonition.
But Lu Zhiye didn't follow his premonition: "I don't like gentleness, I don't like cuteness and coquettishness. What do you like?"
Shi Jing knew where the inexplicable heat tonight came from.
For example, now.
Lu Zhiye looked at him and said these words to him in a back-and-forth manner. The fire that had just been cooled down physically by cold water in the bathroom not long ago started burning again.
"Why should I tell you what kind of thing I like?" Shi Jing paused, finding the rare rationality in the straightforward questioning.
Lu Zhiye stopped talking.
After waiting for a long time without anyone entering, the elevator door slowly closed again. The sound of two elevators running towards the first floor at the same time created one of the few noises in the quiet corridor.
"I wasn't unhappy just now." Finally, just before Shi Jing could no longer bear the silence, Lu Zhiye spoke, "You're not talking because you're thinking."
Shi Jing subconsciously asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Lu Zhiye: "I think... I'm not your type either."
Shi Jing: “…”
Lu Zhiye's black pupils looked at him.
Quite peaceful.
Although he said these words, they made him sad, but they gave Shi Jing the feeling that he had waited for such a long time and had to accept such a result.
"..." Shi Jing's right hand was clenching the little piece of fabric in his pocket, almost making a hole in it. "I didn't say you're not my type... No, are you the cute type or the queen type?"
Lu Zhiye blinked.
"Speak." Shi Jing regained a game and became more and more powerful.
Lu Zhiye: "I'm a man."
Shi Jing: “.”
Shi Jing: "Yujie, it's an adjective, not a description... Never mind, I can't explain it to you clearly. Anyway, you're not that type."
It is expected that people like Lu Zhiye would definitely not study these things.
Lu Zhiye: "Then what type am I?"
"You..." Shi Jing thought for a moment. It seemed that there was really no accurate word to describe Lu Zhiye.
Perhaps because he is a very lively person, the time they spent together allowed Shi Jing to see the many facets of his personality and life, which cannot be summed up in just two characters.
After a five-second pause, he said, "I don't know. Anyway, I don't like those who are clingy and act like spoiled brats, nor do I like those who are older than me."
Lu Zhiye: "I am neither."
Shi Jing: “…”
"So it's possible that I'm the one you like?" Lu Zhiye asked.
Shi Jing looked down at his hand that was holding up his coat from the back like a palm, then he shrank back to his original position like a child, "Maybe."
After saying these three words, he was stunned for a moment.
What is he saying.
Lu Zhiye's eyes brightened noticeably.
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing was about to continue speaking when his cell phone rang, and the caller informed him that the pharmacy was delivering to the whole city.
Shi Jing: “.”
He answered the call, speaking as fast as a ghost chasing him: "Hello? Oh, you're here, right? Downstairs? Okay, I'll be right down. Leave it at the door."
Lu Zhiye raised his eyebrows: "Takeout?"
It’s already this late, how could it be takeout?
Shi Jing's face was stern: "No."
It was obvious that he would follow her all the way. The two of them went downstairs together and went to the automatic express cabinet to pick up the package of ointment that had caused a temporary headache a few hours ago.
It’s not a big tube, and the packaging is almost twenty times bigger than the medicine itself.
Shi Jing took it apart for a long time and finally took it out: "I bought it for you."
Lu Zhiye took it and took a look.
"The wound on your hand." Shi Jing didn't meet his eyes, nor did he want to meet his overly warm gaze. "You were blocking it for me. Professional players can't leave scars on their hands. I saw this written on it that seems to work. Try using it first to see if it can remove it."
There was no response after saying that.
"Did you hear that?" Shi Jing looked up.
Lu Zhiye answered the question irrelevantly: "Can we not play in duo queue later?"
Shi Jing: “?”
Lu Zhiye: "I want to come find you."
A second ago, he thought that his kindness would be rewarded with a broken promise for the first time. After hearing this, Shi Jing's mood eased a little: "Why did you come to see me?"
Lu Zhiye: "See if I'm your type."
"..." Shi Jing asked the most inappropriate question, "How do you see it?"
Can you fucking see this?
"I don't know." Lu Zhiye said, "Let's try holding hands first."
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing: “?”
"If you don't hate it, it means——"
Shi Jing answered immediately: "Not hating it doesn't mean I like it..."
"I know." Lu Zhiye said, "If you don't dislike it, you can try other ones."
Shi Jing: “…”
Shi Jing suddenly remembered that they were in the lobby on the first floor. Not everyone had gone back to the dormitory to rest at this time. There were also managers and other people who might show up at any time: "This is a fucking base--"
"Yeah." Lu Zhiye nodded. "Double queue requires us to go to the base, which is not convenient."
So he said he didn't want to play duo anymore and wanted to go find him in the small villa opposite.
Shi Jing: “…”
