Chapter 154154 Lu Xuan: Coax the cat, kiss the cat. ...
Lu Xuan frowned and walked up with a towel.
Pei Qi slowly walked out of the practice cabin, head lowered, and left the scene as if fleeing.
"Pei Qi." Lu Xuan strode up to him and held out a towel to him.
“Pah.”
Pei Qi opened Lu Xuan's hand without hesitation. He lowered his head, his face shrouded in shadows. "I don't need it."
After he finished speaking, he walked straight to the backstage.
Lu Xuan stared at his back and followed him step by step. If he followed too close, Lu Xuan was afraid that he would be angry. If he followed too far, Lu Xuan was afraid that something would happen to him.
“Clatter.”
The sound of water was roaring in the bathroom. Pei Qi kept splashing cold water on his cheeks. Drops of burning tears burst out of his eyes. His face was covered with water droplets, making it difficult to tell which were tears and which were water droplets.
"Bang."
"Bang."
"Bang."
He punched the edge of the sink again and again, even though the repeated impacts made his palms numb. His eyes, as dark as the stars, were filled with unwillingness. He bit the corner of his lips hard until the skin was broken. The loss, the unwillingness, and the pain lingered in his heart, like a ferocious hungry tiger constantly biting him.
Lu Xuan looked at him in silence for a long time before slowly walking up to him, handing him a handkerchief and whispering, "Don't cry."
Pei Qi pushed him away violently, his red eyes like those of a ferocious beast, "Get out of here! I don't want you to bother me!"
Lu Xuan firmly grasped his wrist, his calm expression like a pool of still water. "If you regret losing 15 million now, you'll definitely regret losing 3 million in the future. If you lose, you lose. There's no need to act like this."
“Pah.”
Pei Qi raised his hand and slapped him in the face, his blazing eyes filled with rage. "It's not like you lost, don't brag in front of me. I don't want to hear it!"
Lu Xuan took a solid blow from his palm. He turned his head slightly, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with his index finger, and said in an unprecedented serious tone, "Pei Qi, have you had enough of this? If you lose, you lose. Unless you have the ability to reverse time and space, how can you rewrite history that has already happened? Even if you exhaust all means, you can't go back to the past. You will only hurt yourself if you are angry like this."
Pei Qi's red eyes were filled with resistance. He pushed Lu Xuan, trying to push him out, but Lu Xuan took the opportunity to embrace him, stroking his head with his big hand, and soothing him, "Okay, it's over, the game is over. No matter how upset you are, no matter how angry you are, things can't be changed. What you need to think about now is - how will you deal with this situation next time? Also, what exactly caused the current result? You should review the reasons for your loss."
“Tick-tock.”
“Tick-tock.”
“Tick-tock.”
Crystal clear tears flowed from his eyes. Pei Maomao sniffed and snorted sadly, accusing him, "Lu Xuan, do you have a heart? I'm so sad, and you still want to provoke me like this, force me like this, and bully me like this. You don't like me at all! You're doing this on purpose!"
Lu Xuan immediately laughed out of anger. He grabbed his hand and stroked the side of his face, then asked, "Who hit me? My face is still burning. Who is bullying whom?"
Pei Qi's hand seemed to be burned by flames. He subconsciously wanted to retract his palm, but Lu Xuan held the back of his hand firmly, and he could not move at all.
"Have you calmed down?"
Pei Maomao lowered his head nervously and whispered, "I'm sorry."
He looked aggrieved and hurt, like a frightened tiger. He instinctively used his claws to scratch at the guy who tried to get close to him. The resistance and self-blame were written in his eyes.
Lu Xuan lifted his chin and made him look into his eyes. His azure eyes were like the clearest seawater. "Between you and me, there's no need to say sorry. I'm your boyfriend, so I can naturally tolerate your bad temper. Even if you really take it out on me, I'll take it all in because I can tolerate you. I can accept your good and your bad."
"But I still want to emphasize that you're reacting too emotionally. You don't just have the individual competition, you also have the team competition. If you get caught up in your emotions, you're bound to underperform in the team competition. It's just a game. If you lose, you lose. Just win it back next time. Don't blame yourself. Who hasn't lost? Don't you know that failure is the mother of success?"
"puff."
Pei Maomao couldn't help laughing, tears in his eyes. He tapped Lu Xuan's lips with his index finger, "Xuan, you swore. You never swore before."
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with swearing? Who said I can't swear? Besides, what I said is the truth. Let's review this game carefully tonight, summarize the mistakes, and determine the direction of adjustment. What do you think?"
Pei Maomao shook her head, "Not good."
"Hmm? Why?"
“I’m going to review it now.”
Pei Maomao rubbed his eyes, buried his face in Lu Xuan's chest, and said in a muffled voice: "I should have listened to your advice and paid attention to the attribute restraint between mechas. However, I have won the game against the mechas with opposite attributes before. I took it for granted that I was lucky."
Lu Xuan patiently stroked the kitten's fur. He gently soothed it, "That wasn't luck. It's because you do have the ability. You don't have to completely deny yourself. However, the attribute suppression in the mecha is real. You can truly feel the difference between the two in battle."
Pei Maomao sniffed and whispered, "I should have learned to plan ahead like Bert did. I should have watched my opponent's battle videos in advance to understand his preferred mecha models and attack methods. This guy must have watched a lot of my videos. He was deliberately dragging my rhythm and not letting me have a free hand, putting me at a disadvantage. If I had understood my opponent's battle habits in advance, today's defeat wouldn't have happened. My fifteen million!"
That’s a full 15 million!
Just thinking about it made him feel so heartbroken that he could barely breathe!
Lu Xuan gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said soothingly, "Alright, alright, just cry it out, just let out your unhappiness. I can always accept your imperfections. You don't need to be the perfect Pei Qi in front of me. You just need to be the Pei Qi who cries and makes a fuss."
"Although you didn't get the 15 million prize, the first place prize is still 3 million. Don't you even want that 3 million?"
Hearing this, Pei Maomao raised his head, his black eyes flashing with bright little flames. He tightened his face and said, "No! I must get those three million! That's my money, no one can take it!"
He is determined to get these three million!
Seeing Pei Qi's fighting spirit burning, Lu Xuan smiled with satisfaction and kissed him lightly on the forehead. "Great! I knew our Pei Qi was the bravest. This is no big deal. We failed this time, but we can win it back next time."
Pei Maomao tugged at the corner of his clothes and said in a muffled voice, "Don't kiss there."
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Then where do you want me to kiss?"
Pei Maomao pouted the corners of his lips, and Lu Xuan smiled knowingly and kissed his lips. The intertwined breath was warm.
Pei Qi looked at him hesitantly and asked, "Can I go home? I don't want to stay at the venue anymore. I want to go home and be quiet."
Lu Xuan immediately agreed, "Okay. Anyway, the next step is just to announce the next round's opponents. Let Bert and the others draw lots and that's it."
After saying that, Lu Xuan took out his communicator and sent a text message to Bert.
He calmly took off his coat and put it over Pei Qi's head. "Okay, this way others can't see your face and can't see that you just cried. Let's go home."
"good."
Pei Maomao's eyes suddenly lit up, like bright obsidian, and the dimples on her cheeks suddenly appeared.
