Qiao Ran's illness was not serious, and he was discharged from the hospital the next day after the doctor confirmed that there was no problem.
Walking out of the hospital gate, Qiao Ran felt that even the air was free.
"I can finally return to the team!" She felt suffocated during this time in the hospital.
Pei Yan walked over and wrapped Qiao Ran's scarf tighter: "Your fever has just subsided, don't catch a cold again."
"Captain, has anyone ever told you that you sometimes act like a parent?"
"If I were a parent, what would you be?" Pei Yan patted Qiao Ran's hat.
......
Back at the base, everyone gathered around.
"Xiao Qiao, are you feeling unwell anymore? You scared us to death that day." Zhao Jie was still frightened when he thought of the scene when Qiao Ran fainted.
"Everyone wanted to go and see you, but the game was stuck," Sun Kai also explained.
"I'm fine, I'm sorry to have made you all worried." Qiao Ran responded with a smile.
"Sister Qiao Qiao, the manager issued an order yesterday, limiting the number of times we can order takeout each week. He said we can ask Auntie to cook whatever we want to eat, and we have to ensure a balanced nutrition." Ye Xiaofan also came over.
Su Yang remained silent until everyone had finished talking. Then he walked up to Qiao Ran and said, "Sister Qiao Qiao, I'm sorry. I didn't play well in the second round and lost... I will keep working hard!"
Qiao Ran didn't expect that Su Yang would come to apologize to her specifically for this matter.
"It's okay. I can't guarantee that I'll win every game." Qiao Ran couldn't think of anything to comfort him. "I watched yesterday's game. You performed quite well."
When Su Yang heard this, all his psychological burden disappeared, and he immediately jumped on the bandwagon: "Really? Then... then Sister Qiao Qiao, can you give me an autograph? My girlfriend likes you very much!"
Qiao Ran then recalled that Pei Yan seemed to have mentioned to her that Su Yang's girlfriend was her fan.
"Of course." Qiao Ran touched his ear, feeling a little embarrassed to be asked for an autograph suddenly.
——
After Qiao Ran recovered, he naturally didn't want to delay any longer and returned to the competition as soon as possible.
NSD performed well in the preseason. In the following regular season, they were in top form, showing superb performance and firmly ranking first in Group S.
This means that they can play fewer games in today's Spring Split playoffs and conserve their energy for the finals.
"If we can advance to the finals, I wonder which team we will meet?" Zhao Jie started chatting during the break.
Thanks to Captain Pei, they are never idle on days when they don't have competitions. They are either training or watching live broadcasts of other teams' games and then reviewing them.
Every day is packed with activities, which is even more tiring than their daily training.
"It's most likely the Sirius team." Zhang Qian looked at the data recorded in the notebook. "In this Spring Split, Sirius is the strongest team in the loser's bracket and has the best chance of advancing."
"Oh shit! Isn't that the team that the support we didn't want went to?" Zhao Jie said, a lollipop in his mouth. "If we run into that team and we've never played against them before, wouldn't it be really embarrassing?"
"If you don't know how to speak, just say less. Candy can't stop you from talking." Sun Kai winked at Zhao Jie.
Zhao Jie immediately stopped talking after realizing what was happening: "Sorry... I didn't mean to put pressure on you... Xiao Qiao, just treat it as me farting. Don't take it to heart."
Qiao Ran really didn't take Zhao Jie's words to heart. After all, she had fought with the assistant when she beat the computer in the square last time.
Although the opponent is also strong, Qiao Ran is confident that he is better.
Pei Yan reassured the others: "Don't worry, we just need to perform normally. Qiao Ran has an advantage over him."
Pei Yan's affirmation of Qiao Ran's strength is without any filter, and he will not confuse personal feelings with the competition.
To others, the scariest thing about Qiao Ran is not her unfathomable hero pool, but the fact that she is a naturally gifted player who works harder than the average person.
Qiao Ran's strength is improving almost every day. They train together every day, and everyone can feel the changes in Qiao Ran.
"Instead of worrying about meeting Sirius in the finals, I think you should worry more about how to make it to the finals."
Pei Yan was right. If they wanted to make it to the finals, they would first have to play against WD, and after winning, they would have to win another round against LJJ or SJ.
They are all old rivals, and they know each other well. They are also studying strategies to counter Qiao Ran's style of play.
I have lost a few times before, so I always have to learn from my mistakes. The more I encounter in the future, the harder it will be to beat them.
"I'd better practice more while I have time. The mid laners of these teams are difficult to deal with, and I can't hold everyone back." Ye Xiaofan rubbed his swollen eyes.
"Let's stop here for today. You can't become fat in one bite." Zhang Qian looked at the time and stopped today's training.
"But it's better to sharpen your sword before the battle, even if it's not quick, it will be bright." After the last competition, Su Yang was particularly enthusiastic about training when he came back.
"Stop rolling around, go back to sleep, and it will be the same if you get up early to practice tomorrow." Pei Yan's eyes turned red as he looked at several people.
"The main thing is... We've had a smooth journey this time. It would be a shame if we didn't win the championship in the end." As one of the output players, Sun Kai was under a lot of pressure, but he didn't show it as much as the others.
Zhao Jie nodded in agreement.
Qiao Ran's mentality was very calm. For her, she practiced more and tried hard to adjust and overcome the mistakes found in the review. As long as they tried their best in the game, they still had a great chance of winning.
…
After two days of intense training, NSD faced their first round of the winner's group in the Spring Playoffs against their brother team WD.
"We finally squeezed into Group S, but why do we meet NSD right at the start? They are quite powerful this time..." Haozi was rarely nervous about the game in the lounge.
Ah Yan spread his hands and said, "It can't be helped. But there's no need to boost others' morale and destroy our own prestige. We're not that bad either."
Koko spit out the gum he was chewing. "Stop overthinking. Save your brain cells. It's BO7. I'll need to use my brain later."
At the same time, in the lounge at NSD, everyone was having the final discussion.
"I don't know whether they plan to play in the early or late stages today. I hope it won't drag on too long." Zhao Jie has a physical aversion to BO7. Every time it drags on for so long, he becomes hungry.
"I think everyone wants to play in the early stage, BO7, no one wants to drag it on too long." Su Yang said.
"Not necessarily. It depends on their tactical arrangements." Sun Kai responded.
"What are you planning to do today?" Pei Yan turned his head to look at Qiao Ran.
Qiao Ran was playing a small game on his phone to relieve stress. "I don't have any ideas for now."
According to Zhang Qian, Qiao Ran no longer needs to consider their lineup when choosing a hero to assist, as he can cooperate with any of them.
"Sister Qiao Qiao, what are you playing? It's so fun." Ye Xiaofan saw Qiao Ran staring at her phone, tapping away. Now she didn't even take her eyes off him while talking to Pei Yan.
"Gold miner."
"Puff!" When Zhao Jie heard this, he thought of the clip he had seen online of Qiao Ran using Zhong Kui to seduce people.
Among them, there was a comment saying that Qiao Ran and Zhong Kui’s hook was so accurate that the gold miner must be at the maximum level.
Qiao Ran then looked up: "What's wrong?"
