When Gu Yueshuang and Lin Yanqiu reunited with everyone at the skewers restaurant, her eyes were red. Even if everyone was a fool, there would always be one who could tell that she had cried.
So they attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered the door.
Gu Yueshuang sat down as if nothing had happened and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to make sugar paintings too?"
Lu Cheng put down his chopsticks and asked seriously, "What's going on? Did Xiao Lin bully you? Should we help you beat him up?"
Gu Yueshuang: “?”
Zhou Yao lowered his voice for once, pointed at his eyes and asked, "Didn't you cry?"
"Ah." Gu Yueshuang was reminded. Holding the windmill in one hand and the sugar-sprinkled rabbit painting in the other, she began to ramble. "I saw this on the street. I haven't seen it in a long time. I was stunned by the stall owner's exquisite craftsmanship. It was so beautiful that it made me cry."
Naturally, no one believed this obvious nonsense.
Gu Yueshuang stuck the windmill on the table, and took the candy from Lin Yanqiu's hand and found a place to stick them both.
Gu Yueshuang said, "I just missed home after seeing this sugar painting. I'll borrow a knife from the store and cut it up so we can share it, okay?"
Lin Yanqiu: "? I thought you wanted to eat it slowly by yourself."
Gu Yueshuang: "Ah? I don't remember if it was delicious or not. If it didn't leave a lasting impression, it was probably just average. I just bought it because it looked good."
Xu Qing: "Why does it sound like you're eating it all by yourself because it's delicious?"
Gu Yueshuang asked confidently, "What else?"
Yang Chi, relying on his age, teased her, "You're still a child. You're already homesick before you even leave the country. What will you do when you leave?"
Gu Yueshuang sighed, "It can't be helped. After all, we have to stay abroad the longest. It's normal to miss home."
Lu Cheng coughed lightly and defended GGB: "We've been there the longest, and we still have to play in the play-in round."
Gu Yueshuang: "Oh, right. Not only did you play in the play-in round, you also had to play an extra bubble round than us. Please don't embarrass yourself in the play-in round."
The bubble match is the world championship qualifier after the LPL schedule is completed. The three teams with the highest points, excluding the first and second seeds, are eligible to participate in this competition. The team that wins in the end can represent the LPL as the third seed.
The third seeds from the major regions will have to compete in the qualifying rounds with the champions of various wildcard regions in the World Championship to compete for four places in the group stage. Of course, these four places are basically taken up by the third seeds, and very few wildcard teams can enter the group stage.
Xu Qing was terrified. "Frost—FLAG can't be used randomly. If they really fail in the play-in round, they will definitely blame us. We can't give them that opportunity."
Yang Chi slammed the table and stood up: "Pah! Pah! Pah! Who failed in the play-in round? You guys failed in the play-in round!"
Not to mention failing in the qualifying round, even if they just lost one game, they might be scolded and become a hot topic.
The POG members almost said in unison: "We are not playing in the play-in round."
It's infuriating enough when one person says it, but when several people say it together, and in unison, it's simply a chain reaction.
Yang Chi was so angry that he lost his temper. He turned to his captain and asked, "Is this POG's treat? Add more dishes! Order something expensive!"
Chi Nan pretended to be heartbroken but actually gloated over the misfortune and patted the child: "Wake up, the three clubs will share the profit."
Gu Yueshuang said seriously: "It's okay to order more, but remember to finish it and don't waste food."
Yang Chi: “…”
Even more angry.
Gu Yueshuang stretched out her hand: "Where's my milk tea?"
Xu Qing was a little confused: "Didn't you say you wouldn't order from the two of you?"
Gu Yueshuang slowly turned her head and looked at Lin Yanqiu with a reproachful look.
Lin Yanqiu was already preparing to place an order with his phone, so he confirmed with her, "Original flavor, no ice, 30% sugar?"
Gu Yueshuang nodded: "Two cups, please."
Lu Cheng wondered: "Aren't you guys going to sleep?"
Gu Yueshuang: "Why sleep? I'll rehabilitate until dawn and try to find my touch. I've wasted so much time. If I lose in the round of 16 because of my poor form, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
Everyone looked at each other, and couldn't help but sigh that young people nowadays are so terrible and so cruel to themselves.
Lu Minghao quickly raised his hand: "I'll have another drink too!"
Yang Lin: "And me!"
Lin Yanqiu: "Is the original flavor okay? Who else?"
Immediately, many people followed the trend and started drinking milk tea.
Seeing this, Gu Yueshuang quickly put down her chopsticks and reminded them, "You guys should do it according to your ability. I'm used to this kind of work and rest schedule, but you may not be able to handle it..."
Gu Yueshuang once again brought up Lin Yanqiu as a teaching material: "For example, our team Xiao Lin is not very good at staying up late, although their sleep and rest habits are not very healthy... You can also learn from him and drink less milk tea and more milk."
Lin Yanqiu paused. "How can I order milk tea for myself if you say that?"
"Huh?" Gu Yueshuang obviously didn't expect him to drink too. She didn't respond and said, "I'm not drinking my second cup now. You can wait until we get back to the training base and order milk tea together."
Then he quietly pulled Lin Yanqiu's clothes and urged him, "Quick, cancel all their orders and only order ours."
Everyone: “???”
Chi Nan wondered: "Then why are you ordering two cups now?"
Gu Yueshuang said confidently: "One cup is not even the minimum price. And who can order milk tea for me in the middle of the night?"
After she finished speaking, she easily took Lin Yanqiu's phone and deleted their milk tea from the shopping cart while muttering, "You haven't even finished the milk tea in your hands and you're already thinking about new ones. Isn't that like having your cake and eating it too soon? And you have to carry it back, which is so troublesome. Order it yourself when you get home, don't bother our Xiaolin team. And the delivery will be slow because the quantity is too large..."
Lin Yanqiu was not surprised at all when his phone was snatched away. He was obviously used to it. He even snatched a lot of freshly cooked skewers for Gu Yueshuang when no one was paying attention.
The other POG players seemed to have guessed this outcome long ago, and when everyone came to their senses, the pot was empty.
Everyone couldn't help but complain in their hearts again: "You POGs are all bandits, right? Right??"
During the training period, in addition to game training, there is also psychological counseling. Everyone treats this as a rest time and does not take it too seriously.
Gu Yueshuang not only listened carefully every time but also took notes.
Chi Nan wondered: "Haven't you always been praised for your big heart? I thought you would skip classes with your personality."
"Brother Tao said there will be a fine for skipping classes." Gu Yueshuang gave the reason very straightforwardly, "Besides, it's a good thing to learn more knowledge. If my teammates become autistic, I can help them."
God knows they have been in a state of isolation throughout the spring season.
And the more you lose, the worse you get at playing, and it’s easy to fall into a self-inflicted cycle.
But only Qin Ye and Lin Yanqiu who were sitting next to her knew that she had taken photos of her notes and given them to the SC team members.
Although I don’t have a very good relationship with the SC team, I know they are also in a period of isolation recently, so I would like to lend a hand if I can.
Qin Ye doesn't like to talk about things that are not related to games, and Lin Yanqiu will not say anything more.
When Gu Yueshuang put the notebook away, she saw Lin Yanqiu looking at her and said with a smile, "Didn't you expect me to send it to someone else?"
Lin Yanqiu nodded.
Gu Yueshuang said: "When I take notes myself, it's not like this. I only write down the key points, and basically only I can understand them."
Moreover, she usually writes in cursive to save trouble, but this time, in order to make the people at SC understand, she wrote every stroke carefully.
——Exactly the same as when she was learning to write as a child.
Gu Yueshuang opened the notepad on the computer and asked, "Review?"
Lin Yanqiu moved his stool and said, "Come."
Xu Qing pricked up his ears: "Which game are you going to review? I want to join in too."
Gu Yueshuang originally wanted to reject him tactfully, but after thinking about it, she realized that being an assistant also requires a sense of the overall situation.
So she changed the subject and said, "Come on, open your notepad. I want to see a review record of no less than 300 words."
"?" Xu Qing retreated indifferently, "No need to review it."
Qin Ye said, "Let's review it together on a larger screen."
"Arrange it." Fang Butao went to debug the projector immediately after receiving it.
Gu Yueshuang: "Want to watch it together? Then I'll find a suitable one."
Lin Yanqiu silently moved his stool back and said, "Everyone has to submit a summary report."
Suddenly there was a chorus of complaints.
Gu Yueshuang said without even turning her head: "It's not difficult. Everyone participates in the discussion and writes a summary after the discussion. So please concentrate during the discussion."
Gu Yueshuang glanced at the open door and said, "Who will close the door? We have to lock it to prevent eavesdropping."
Lu Minghao immediately became alert and asked, "Are you discussing something confidential?"
Gu Yueshuang: "That's not the case. I'm just worried that someone might slip away during the trip."
Everyone: “…”
Lin Yanqiu knew she was trying to fool people again, so she explained seriously, "It's still very confidential. Drafting and commanding are inherently a process of psychological warfare."
As he spoke, he stood up to prepare snacks for everyone, and also put up a sign at the door that said "In a meeting, do not disturb."
Lu Minghao was puzzled: "Then why can't other teams hear it? Aren't we all representing the LPL?"
Gu Yueshuang explained seriously, "Maybe it's for the sense of ceremony? If someone interrupts you while you're opening the door, it will affect your efficiency."
Xu Qing: "Your expression when you were talking nonsense is exactly the same as it is now."
Lin Yanqiu frowned and said, "She's right. But we are indeed rivals, and sooner or later, two friendly teams will appear among our research targets."
Gu Yueshuang was very realistic: "The World Championship is a competition for each club, not a regional honor competition. You have to understand this."
Lin Yanqiu was more realistic: "Besides, after the World Championship, it will be the transfer period. My current teammates might become my opponents."
Lu Minghao was the first to express his loyalty: "I won't leave."
Yang Lin: "I'm not leaving either."
One after another, everyone expressed their unwillingness to leave.
Gu Yueshuang was ecstatic: "Brother Tao! Hurry up and prepare the contract. Renew it at a low price while these people are being stupid! Don't let them become so expensive that we can't afford to renew it."
“???”
Everyone looked confused.
Listen, is this what you say?
Fang Butao had just finished adjusting the projector when he said, ashamedly, "Don't listen to her nonsense. We'll get money if we achieve good results."
Gu Yueshuang patted their shoulders one by one and said, "Play well. Everyone's value will definitely increase during this transfer period, but don't get too cocky. Focus on the game, and you will get what you want."
