Zhao Jie finally couldn't hold it in anymore and fell down on the dining table laughing.
"Hahahaha! I can't take it anymore... My stomach hurts..." Zhao Jie glanced at Pei Yan, then at Qiao Ran, and then at the direction where Ye Xiaofan disappeared. "What is this? The food chain of the fan circle?"
Sun Kai kicked him under the table and pushed the food in front of him: "Shut up and eat your food quickly. You want to be scolded again."
Ye Xiaofan cleaned up incredibly quickly. In a short while, he looked like a different person and returned to the dining table.
"Well... it was an accident today. I'm not like this usually..." Ye Xiaofan explained in a low voice while sitting down, as if he was afraid of ruining his image in the goddess's mind.
Qiao Ran just smiled politely, she really couldn't think of how to answer. She was really not good at getting along with people, especially in this situation where they were not familiar with each other and the environment was unfamiliar.
Sun Kai seemed to have noticed this and tried to mediate: "Hurry up and eat, or the food will get cold soon."
As he spoke, he distributed the takeaway rice to everyone one by one.
"Qiao Ran, right? Then I'll call you Xiao Ran from now on." Zhao Jie opened the takeaway box, and the aroma of food immediately spread out. "The food in this restaurant tastes good, and it's basically a no-brainer. We eat there often, you should try it."
Zhao Jie was always noisy and enthusiastic, and didn't care at all whether Qiao Ran was a girl or not. He habitually treated Qiao Ran as a buddy and wanted to add more food for her.
As a result, as soon as the chopsticks picked up the food, they felt a chill.
He turned around subconsciously and saw Pei Yan staring at him with a cold face.
Zhao Jie realized later that his behavior was a bit inappropriate and withdrew his hand awkwardly: "You can taste it yourself. You're welcome. I... I just used these chopsticks. They are unhygienic. Hahaha..."
Qiao Ran nodded and said thank you, then picked up some dishes and put them in his bowl, eating them in small bites.
Yes! That’s right!
Take small sips!
Qiao Ran felt that after yesterday, her image must have plummeted. She had just joined the team, so she couldn't immediately be demoted to a negative score.
She is usually alone at home, so it doesn't matter how fast she eats, but she should be careful when she is outside.
Zhao Jie ordered two servings of seasonal vegetables, one serving of salt and pepper pork ribs, one serving of crispy fried chicken and a large pot of boiled fish.
Pei Yan was currently holding chopsticks, slowly picking out the few fish bones, as if he was polishing a piece of handicraft.
Qiao Ran held the chopsticks in his mouth and his eyes unconsciously fell on Pei Yan's hand.
How can someone have such beautiful hands?
Qiao Ran looked at his slightly rough hands again, feeling embarrassed and even a little disgusted.
"Are you eating or counting meters?"
Pei Yan noticed just now that Qiao Ran had hardly eaten anything.
"Goddess, is the food not to your liking?" Ye Xiaofan didn't know how to address Qiao Ran for a moment. He was used to calling her "goddess", so he blurted it out this time.
"No... no." Qiao Ran quickly took two bites, "I was just thinking about something..."
"Thinking about something~" Zhao Jie just found out that Qiao Ran was looking at Pei Yan and finding fault with him, and then he remembered that Ye Xiaofan said that Qiao Ran was a fan of Pei Yan, so he immediately turned into a passionate tour guide of a tourist attraction.
"Pei Yan! The most handsome guy in our circle, the wild king in the hearts of countless people! But he's actually quite secretive! Let me tell you, look at him... he loves fish, but he hates fish bones! He can't even stand the kind that's fried until crispy and you can just chew it and swallow it. Every time we order fish, he has to inspect it obsessively. It's simply outrageous!"
Pei Yan didn't show much reaction to Zhao Jie's words. He just raised his eyelids and said calmly, "That's why you were hospitalized with a fishbone stuck in your throat, but I was fine."
"Damn it, if I'm afraid of getting bones stuck in fish, why would I eat fish?"
Pei Yan put the fish meat into his mouth and said, "If you don't want to lose, then why don't you just not compete?"
Zhao Jie choked. He didn't expect that eating a fish could lead to their Captain Pei participating in the competition.
"No more, no more. If you continue, I'll start another round of ideological education. Captain, you're really good!"
Sun Kai and Ye Xiaofan were trying to hold back their laughter while tugging at the food in their bowls.
It can be said that Zhao Jie has been defeated time and time again by Pei Yan, but he keeps fighting. I don’t know why he never learns his lesson.
After the meal, Qiao Ran took note of some of their habits and preferences through observation and listening.
For example, Sun Kai doesn't like to talk while eating; Ye Xiaofan can't eat spicy food, but he likes to eat it; Zhao Jie likes to talk; and Pei Yan likes to eat fish, but can't tolerate fish bones.
After dinner, we took a short rest and then started the formal training.
The coach is busy today and is not at the base, so all training matters are under the charge of the team leader Pei Yan.
Qiao Ran was placed next to Sun Kai. "This is your seat. The equipment has been purchased according to the competition regulations. Please check if there are any problems. If there are any, tell Jiang Wenzhou and he will replace them for you. If there are no problems, set up the interface according to your own operating habits, and we will begin."
"Goddess, goddess, remember to pay more attention to my mid laner later." Ye Xiaofan has been following Qiao Ran's live broadcast for a long time, and he never thought that one day the other party would become his teammate.
If Qiao Ran himself had not been sitting here, he would have thought he was dreaming.
The support and ADC cooperate more often. Sun Kai is different from Ye Xiaofan. He doesn't have such a deep understanding of Qiao Ran, nor is he very clear about the depth of Qiao Ran's hero pool.
So, before the training started, he asked one more question: "Xiao Ran, what do you usually play more? Which one is your favorite?"
"I play them all, it depends on what you need." Qiao Ran answered honestly.
She really plays all kinds of heroes, and she doesn't specifically focus on any one hero to gain points. Which one she wants to play depends entirely on her teammates and her own mood.
In her eyes, no matter whether it is an assassin, a mage, a top laner or a shooter, as long as she wants, she can use them as a support.
Moreover, such unexpected choices often catch the other party off guard.
"In the first game, use the normal lineup and don't make random choices." Pei Yan and Qiao Ran had been queuing for a while and knew Qiao Ran's style, so he set restrictions in advance.
He wanted to see what problems would arise in the cooperation between Qiao Ran and Sun Kai under certain restrictions.
Qiao Ran didn't care and nodded to indicate yes.
The team for today's training match is SJ team, which is considered a veteran team in the circle. Many well-known figures have come out of them both on and off the stage. It is also a popular team to win the championship every year.
Before becoming the manager of NSD, Jiang Wenzhou was the operator of SJ team.
"Come to think of it, it's a shame that SJ didn't even make it to the finals this year."
Everyone was not gathered yet and the microphones were all turned off, but Zhao Jie, who was always talkative, started gossiping again.
"JS is having a tough time, too. Of the two veteran players, one transferred this spring, and the other retired due to a hand injury. The new players, while capable, have had a very short break-in period. Those veterans have been playing together for so long they've become polished to the bone. They know what's coming the moment the other team raises their butt. There's no way the newcomers can keep up."
Sun Kai's words are rough but his point is true. Personal strength is important, but this is a 5V5 team game after all.
After saying this, Sun Kai realized that his words were inappropriate and immediately looked at Qiao Ran: "Well, Xiao Ran... I didn't mean anything else. I wasn't talking about you. We just happened to be talking at the same time. Don't take it to heart."
Qiao Ran set up his phone according to his usual operating habits: "I know, there's nothing to mind. Even if it's said to me, it's the truth. The cooperation between newcomers and veterans is also a problem we have to face at present. I will try my best."
"Also, whether it's training or daily life, if I do anything wrong, you can point it out directly. Don't worry about me being a girl."
Qiao Ran's attitude was serious and upright, and Pei Yan saw it all.
Perhaps Qiao Ran’s joining can really bring new strength to the team.
