Chapter 13
On the day of the award ceremony.
It was seven in the morning. Qu Xing was still battling in his dreams when a commotion erupted outside. He faintly heard what seemed to be a knock on his door, not too loud, but slow, as if it were meant to lull him to sleep. He slid back into bed, letting the faint commotion play out in his dreams.
The knocking didn't last long. There was silence for a while, and then he heard the doorknob being turned. Footsteps approached slowly, as if trying not to startle anyone with too much noise. Listening to them, Qu Xing fell into a more peaceful sleep.
"Qu Xing." A gentle and magnetic voice came from above his head.
"Yeah." Qu Xing lowered his head, "Sing a song."
“…”
"What are you singing?"
"Whatever..." Qu Xing was still in a dream, and said drowsily, "...sing a lullaby."
The owner of the voice paused for an unknown reason. His active brain had already made him discard the previous memory and dream a new one. Then, a voice that seemed to contain a smile drifted into the dream: "I'm here to wake you up. Will singing a lullaby help you sleep better?"
Qu Xing closed his eyes for a long time, then suddenly opened them and turned to look towards the source of the sound.
Ling Yin just stood quietly beside the bed, looking down at him. He was so handsome that it was infuriating.
Qu Xing's eyes suddenly widened, and the resentment of being woken up immediately dissipated. He looked at Ling Yin without blinking.
He must be wearing that legendary custom-made suit that cost anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. At first glance, it wasn't anything special, but it was incredibly handsome, perfectly showcasing Ling Yin's strengths. A closer look revealed two lines of pattern along the collar, connected by tiny diamonds that shimmered discreetly. It made his face look even more elegant and beautiful.
Damn, so handsome!
Ling Yin smiled at Qu Xing for two seconds, then stood up and said, "If you're sleepy, go back to sleep. Zhou Si said you can come over tomorrow."
Qu Xing was still immersed in her beauty and nodded blankly: "Oh."
He watched Ling Yin leave reluctantly.
Qu Xing didn't get up until the stunning beauty in his mind faded a little.
Are you kidding! If I don't go, I won't be able to see such a beautiful captain all the time!
Yesterday, Zhou Si told him that the organizers had invited him as a courtesy, but it was up to him whether to go or not. When Qu Xing heard Ling Yin was going to wear a stunning custom-made tuxedo, he immediately decided to go. Besides, the entire base, including the coaching staff, was going to Fuzhou to receive their awards, leaving him alone at the base with the cook. How lonely it would be.
In Le Anyi's eyes, Ling Yin's stunning looks had been completely shattered by his personality two years ago. He no longer felt, or rather, didn't want to feel, that he was a handsome man, except from what others said. But Qu Xing was different.
Qu Xing is cheerful and enthusiastic, strong, not prone to bad habits, and very lovable. Adding all these factors together, Le Anyi thinks he's the most handsome boy in the world.
Especially when I saw Qu Xing coming down wearing a black sweater with a side-slit collar.
"Oh my god, why don't you just go out and turn left to venture into the entertainment industry." Le Anyi shouted.
The neckline of Qu Xing's dress was a bit too big, revealing a large area of fair skin and collarbone. She wore two black earrings on her ears. With her gray-blue-purple hair and red lips and white teeth, she looked both beautiful and cool.
Ling Yin sat down and looked up at him.
Le Anyi: "You make us look like country bumpkins."
Qu Xing stepped back and looked at him carefully. The swaying of his black sweater and the slight breeze created by it made him so handsome that Le Anyi almost fainted.
Qu Xing opened his bright eyes and said sincerely, "No."
Le Anyi: "...So you mean rustic."
Qu Xing: “No!”
Le Anyi was being unreasonable and took the opportunity to pull the person over to punish him: "You are right! You only said it's not a turtle, you didn't say it's not a country!"
"Ah——" Qu Xing struggled: "I don't have any! Help! My hair style is my hair style."
Le Anyi let him go.
This star didn't feel anything after being bullied. After struggling out of Le Anyi's clutches, he began to comb his hair in a hurry.
Le Anyi saw the design on his ear and asked curiously, "What's the design of your earrings? I don't understand."
Two small black dots and a slanted black arc.
"You drilled three holes in one place?" Le Anyi asked curiously.
"No, just one." Qu Xing raised his hand and touched it, glancing at Ling Yin: "This design, when I bought it, was said to be a smiley face."
He turned the other side.
"This is a crying face."
"Oh..." Le Anyi gave a thumbs up: "Cool!"
Qu Xing smiled, looked at Ling Yin, and couldn't help but move closer.
"Wind God." Qu Xing called.
"Um?"
Qu Xing stopped talking after calling out to the person. Ling Yin raised an eyebrow at his fiery gaze and stepped back slightly.
"What are you doing!" Qu Xing keenly caught this movement: "Can I still eat you?!"
Ling Yin curled his lips, turned back to his right body, and the distance between them was shortened again: "Okay, then you see."
Qu Xing quickly took out his cell phone and took a few photos of him.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." He held the phone and zoomed in. "How can there be such a perfect person in the world?"
Ling Yin: “…”
"I'll sit next to you," Ling Yin moved closer imperceptibly. "Why do you want to look at the photos?"
Qu Xing explained: "Wouldn't it look like a pervert if I kept staring at you?"
Ling Yin looked at him: "You look like a pervert sitting next to me and constantly enlarging my photos."
Qu Xing: “…”
"You're right." Qu Xing put down his phone and squinted his eyes as if observing a newly unearthed artifact. "Since they are all perverts, it's better to see the real person."
The two of them stared at each other silently for two seconds. Qu Xing clutched his heart, "Wow—what should I do? I've already broken down this pervert's defenses with just the first step. Is this the legendary look that makes even dogs look affectionate?"
Le Anyi couldn't bear to look at it.
Ling Yin suppressed his laughter.
Qu Xing curled his lips: "Wow - this perfect nose..."
"Wow——————such sexy lips, I need to enlarge it a little more." Qu Xing said as he got closer, and his furry hair brushed across Ling Yin's nose.
"You look better when you smile... Hey, why did you turn around?"
He looked down again: "This beautiful neck, this sexy Adam's apple... Hey, it even moved a little."
Qu Xing raised his eyes with a smile and saw Ling Yin tilting his head and laughing uncontrollably. He smiled and was about to step away when he heard a calm call: "Flirting couple over there! Go away!!!"
Qu Xing turned his head to look at Zhou Si: "Damn?"
Ling Yin laughed even harder.
Qu Xing pulled him up and said, "Let's go."
As she pulled him, she even lifted his hand and looked at it, praising him at the end: "Wow - even his hands are so sexy."
“…”
There was silence for two seconds.
Ling Yin quickly pulled his hand back.
Qu Xing was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"No." Ling Yin glanced away, picked up her bag and walked out.
Qu Xing noticed that the tip of his ear was slightly red.
"..." This person's thinking is a bit dangerous. He can even think of something wrong when complimenting someone about the sexiness of their hands.
Qu Xing followed him with a smile and said deliberately, "Hey? Fengshen, why are your ears a little red? Did they get stained with paint?" As he was about to touch them, he said, "Let me wipe them off for you."
Ling Yin raised his hand to stop him, grabbed his wrist and pulled him forward: "If you move your hand again..."
He didn't use much strength, but Qu Xing was stunned for a moment. For some reason, Ling Yin suddenly turned Qu Xing into a delicate princess.
He loosened his grip, feeling relieved when he saw there were no more red marks. He turned and walked back to the car.
Qu Xing followed closely and sat down, stroking his chest: "Damn, brother, you are so strong."
Ling Yin turned his head and looked over: "Did it hurt you?"
Qu Xing: "No, I was just sighing." Qu Xing thought to himself that he was just a little bit handsome, and he wanted to extend his wrist to him to pinch it again, what should he do?
"No, what are you two saying?" Le Anyi couldn't stand it anymore.
"What lewd words!" Qu Xing accused. "How can your thoughts be so unhealthy?"
No one paid any attention to him.
After a moment, the 23-year-old eldest brother Jiang Lin said sleepily, "Did something happen while I was sleeping? When did they start to have this barrier?"
"I'm wondering too." Le Anyi's face was filled with worry that the cute little AD would be taken away by the hateful captain. "Are these two sure they've only known each other for five days? It's progressing too fast."
Jiang Lin: "Flash marriage."
Le Anyi looked at the two people in the front row with melancholy: "So when exactly is it?"
He Weichen hit the nail on the head: "Five days ago."
Le Anyi didn't want to believe it: "...bullshit."
Jiang Lin: "You're right."
Le Anyi: "Who is right?"
Jiang Lin: "Brother Chen."
“…”
This group of people were talking in whispers without hiding from others, and the two people in front heard everything.
Qu Xing was shocked: "What on earth are they talking about?"
Jiang Lin: "Talk about your love."
“…”
Qu Xing suspected that after a while, he would not only get used to the vicious words that popped up from time to time on Weibo, but he would also gradually get used to the shocking remarks from his teammates.
After all, they woke up too early. Not long after getting on the bus, Qu Xing fell asleep leaning against the backrest. He continued to sleep on the plane. He rested briefly at the hotel at noon, and when he was taken to get his makeup done, he was struck by Ling Yin's handsomeness again.
Sitting in his seat under the stage at the award ceremony in the afternoon, Qu Xing's head was still a little confused when he heard the host's passionate voice.
Awards ceremonies were so boring. There were countless awards, each with a long list of praises to be read out, and then the recipients had to say a few words of thanks. Qu Xing felt like he was sitting in a lecture in school. He fell asleep again after listening for a while.
The two-day event was live-streamed. Normally, the boring awards ceremony on the first day would be largely unwatched. But today, the live-stream room was unusually crowded.
After the Best Manager, Best Coaching Staff, Best Club, and so on, it was finally time for the players' individual awards. When the Best Bot Lane award came up, the director somehow gave a shot to Qu Xing in the audience, incidentally also including Jiang Lin. Those watching in the livestream saw the DL bottom lane duo sleeping with their eyes closed.
…
[Haha ...]
[Oh my god, the Wind God is so handsome! ! ! ! ! !]
The director is very understanding. The best bot laner is Dazzling.
[Can you please stop bragging? You're so mad when I give you a shot.]
[The previous words are a bit disgusting]
[What's there to brag about when someone retires after just one year of debut? ]
[Has he retired? ]
[I haven't played for half a year. Who knows what my current level is? 】
【Won’t you know tomorrow?】
…
[Can you please stop arguing? It’s so annoying.]
Of course, the Best Bot Lane award had nothing to do with Qu Xing, and ultimately went to Burst, the top AD carry that UNG had worked so hard to snatch.
"Alas, UNG has also completed the last piece of the puzzle." Le Anyi sighed.
He Weichen looked up and said indifferently: "Well - none of my business."
"Why is it okay?" Le Anyi glared. "UNG is a formidable opponent of ours. Now that they've added such a strong AD carry, shouldn't we be feeling a bit pressured?"
He Weichen: "Sorry, I really don't feel any pressure. I think we are ten thousand times better than them."
"Don't be too complacent. Have you forgotten who we lost to in the summer season?"
He Weichen's tone was flat: "Don't be too cowardly. You can't think you're incompetent just because you lose two games."
Le Anyi: “…”
Burst held the trophy and gave a long speech of thanks, then looked in the direction of Qu Xing.
"I'm looking forward to a good fight with Dazzling in the next spring season."
The whole audience laughed, and the director's camera moved to Qu Xing's face again.
Qu Xing heard someone calling him. He had just opened his eyes and hadn't reacted yet. He glanced at the camera without any emotion, looking quite indifferent.
[So handsome! ...
So indifferent?
【Isn’t this a bit rude? 】
[No, he probably hasn't woken up yet]
[Do you like finding fault with others so much? ]
[Do you like your husband Daisy who protects you so much? ]
It's normal for these two to have a bad relationship. They debuted in the same year and both have radical styles. Neither of them wants to be outdone.
Burst has also stolen Dazzling's spotlight this year, so it's normal to have some opinions, right?
He doesn't play in the competition, but he blames others for stealing his glory?
…
Qu Xing had no idea what was going on in the livestream, and he had no idea. It took him a moment to react. Burst was about to pass in front of him on his way back to his seat, and Qu Xing raised his foot to stop him: "Why are you giving me an award and cueing me?"
Quan Ji lowered his head and smiled, then hurried over: "Hey, brother! Let me go first."
Qu Xing nudged him with his knee, letting him go: "Don't call me brother, that makes me sound old."
After a while, Quan Ji's message came.
Quan Ji - Is there a chance to team up?
Qu Xing—How should we team up if we are both AD?
Quan Ji - You play support
Qu Xing——?
Quan Ji - You have been assisting Brother Nan for some time.
Quan Ji - I also want to have this kind of treatment
Quanji - Is it okay?
Quan Ji——【Starry Eyes】
Burst seemed to be talking about something that happened two days ago. Qu Xing had a game where he filled in as a support, and the AD was LPL player South. South's conservative style of play was seriously incompatible with Qu Xing's. Qu Xing remembered that he didn't support him very well at the time.
Qu Xing - Be good, you have such a good relationship with Brother Nan, go and ask him to help you
Quan Ji——【Crying】
The stage began playing a trailer for the Best Support nominees. Qu Xing looked up for a moment. The last person in the clip was Jiang Lin. His first line was, "Sleeping off the court, letting others sleep on the court. The support with the most kills in the LPL..."
The whole place burst into laughter. Qu Xing smiled and leaned over, "Linlin! Wake up!"
"Yeah." Jiang Lin finally lifted his heavy eyelids and closed them again: "Awake."
After a while, the host announced the best support of the year - xixi.
Jiang Lin had been competing in the LPL for six years and was used to this kind of scene. All he wanted now was sleep, his eyelids heavy. His eyes, facing the camera, were dead, even colder than Qu Xing's just now, with even a hint of murderous intent.
He went up and read the manuscript disjointedly before coming down.
The show was a perfect success.
Finally, it was the turn of the most popular contestant of the year.
As soon as the name Wind was pronounced, the whole place was in an uproar, and the miscellaneous troublemakers in the live broadcast room were drowned out by the loyal fans of the unified LPL.
The screen is full of messages with the ID Wind.
This year marks Wind's third year since his debut. In his first year, he burst onto the scene with an overwhelmingly dominant performance, winning the World Championship. Within a year and a half of his debut, he'd already won every championship imaginable, claiming three Spring Split titles and two Summer Split titles in three years. After Vki's retirement, DL's strength declined, and his teammates' performances fluctuated. Only Lingyin remained calm and maintained his impressive performance.
lpl superstar.
When the camera panned over, the audience in the live broadcast room saw that Qu Xing's eyes, which had been dazed just a moment ago, brightened up a few degrees and he stared at Ling Yin intently. Holding Ling Yin's newly won Best Mid Lane trophy in his arms, he watched him walk onto the stage with sparkling eyes.
If this isn't love, what is? I knew we were right!
【Hahahahahahahahahahaha so cute】
[Oh my god, Daisy's look makes me hard]
[Nantong, right?]
Qu Xing stared at Ling Yin intently. The stage lighting was bright, making the two diamonds on Ling Yin's collar sparkle. Her waistline was slightly narrowed, and her long legs, standing there in an elegant and leisurely posture, exuded nobility and dazzling, making people unable to look away.
Qu Xing thought that getting up early today was worth it.
Ling Yin didn't thank him for anything. He just smiled faintly, said a few words, and then came down.
Qu Xing took the trophy naturally and looked at it.
"Will you get a few next year too?" Jiang Lin said.
"I don't want this one," Qu Xing smiled, "I want the big one."
