"Don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing as abnormal training!" Qiao Ran grabbed Moran's arm, signaling her to stop joking.
Even though she and Pei Yan were indeed undergoing normal extra training, and were even criticized sometimes, Qiao Ran inexplicably felt guilty when they teased her about it.
As for what she felt guilty about, she wasn't very clear.
I could only raise my hand and touch my burning face with the back of my hand.
Fortunately, everyone knew the limit when joking, and the topic was quickly changed.
In this way, we chatted and laughed all the way, and the car soon arrived at the destination.
Zhao Jie looked over and said, "No way, Jiang Sir, we fought so hard, and you took us to KTV to celebrate..."
"Isn't this more in line with the celebratory atmosphere?"
"Is there anything to eat? I can't sing on an empty stomach..." Zhao Jie only cared about whether his stomach could be filled.
"Don't worry, your coach Zhang said there will be enough food today," Jiang Wenzhou said.
"Then I'm relieved. Let's go to KTV." Zhao Jie got out of the car and turned back to remind everyone, "Don't say I didn't warn you, I'm going to sing in a while, so please be gentle and don't throw empty bottles or cans at me. I'm tough, but it would be terrible if I accidentally broke something in someone's store."
At first, Qiao Ran didn't understand why Zhao Jie said that, until Zhao Jie grabbed the microphone and started singing.
That shout almost brought back Qiao Ran's soul from his previous life.
Moran couldn't stand it any longer, so he covered one ear with his fingers and went to talk to Qiao Ran: "Is he like this all the time?"
"This is the first time I hear them sing too." Qiao Ran took a few sips of the juice in front of him.
In the end, no one knew who was the first to be unable to bear Zhao Jie's magical sound attack and cut off his song to coax him off.
"Let the captain sing a song to clean our ears." Sun Kai wanted to hand the microphone to Pei Yan, but when he turned around, he saw that Pei Yan was not in the box. He didn't know when he went out.
Missing along with Pei Yan was their coach Zhang Qian.
——
Outside the box, there is a smoking area.
Zhang Qian was leaning to one side with a cigarette in his hand, smoke curling up.
"Tsk...what do you think of my proposal? Why don't you say something?"
Pei Yan's face showed no expression as he refused bluntly, "I don't agree."
"Why?" Zhang Qian's tone was a little anxious. "I know you have high hopes for Qiao Ran. I also know that Qiao Ran works hard enough and is tolerant of your temper, so I didn't say to replace her. But she is a girl after all, and there are always inconveniences. Last time she rested on a training day, but what if the next time is right before the competition? Finding a substitute is for the good of the team, and for her own good as well."
Pei Yan raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Qian: "She just won a game today, and you're so anxious to find her a substitute. I know you're not malicious. What do you want her to think?"
"That's why I said I'd take this opportunity to ask Chou Chou today. They're friends, so they shouldn't..."
Pei Yan's face was sullen. "Don't you know what kind of personality this girl has? Even if she doesn't say anything and obeys your instructions, do you know what she's thinking? Especially now, after just one match, are you trying to mess with her mentality?"
"So, what if she's not feeling well one day and can't play, and there's no substitute? Should she just withdraw from the game? If that happens, think about how people will criticize her online. That's what you want to see." If Qiao Ran were a boy, he wouldn't have to be so anxious.
Besides, it is normal for a team to have a substitute. It is not normal for them to not find another one after the two substitutes left.
"Don't go and negotiate with Chou Chou for now. Give me some time and I'll think about how to deal with this matter." Pei Yan knew that Zhang Qian's proposal was necessary, but now was not a good time to implement it.
Qiao Ran was worried. Even if he wanted to arrange a substitute, he had to have a solid excuse.
——
Back in the box, Sun Kai and Hang Ying had just finished singing a love song together.
Sun Kai shoved the microphone into Pei Yan's hands and said, "You're in for a treat today. Our Pei Shen's level is on par with those idols."
The crowd cheered and applauded.
Encouraged Pei Yan to sing a song.
Pei Yan was thinking about the substitute and was in no mood to sing. He handed the microphone back to Sun Kai and said, "My throat isn't feeling well today, so I won't sing. Maybe another chance."
Qiao Ran's gaze passed over Mo Lan, Chou Chou and others who were in the middle and fell on Pei Yan.
She seemed to know what was wrong with Pei Yan at a glance.
But we just won the game today, what could possibly bother Pei Yan?
The coach and Pei Yan just went out together for so long, what were they talking about?
Qiao Ran's sixth sense told her that this matter was most likely related to her, but she really couldn't think of any specific connection.
Her performance today can’t be called exceptional, but it’s pretty good, right?
"What are you looking at?" Moran noticed that Qiao Ran was in a trance and followed her gaze.
Qiao Ran quickly retracted his gaze and pointed at the phone that was plugged in and charging not far away: "Nothing, help me get it."
"Didn't you just charge it a while ago?" Moran took Qiao Ran's phone.
"I'm just sitting here bored. I always feel uncomfortable without my phone in my hand."
As she spoke, Qiao Ran opened Weibo. She wanted to see if there were any negative comments about her online, which would cause trouble for her coach and Pei Yan again.
"It would be boring if you don't sing in KTV. Why don't we go sing a song?" Moran shook Qiao Ran's arm.
Qiao Ran shook his head and refused: "No, there are so many people, I can't speak."
If it was just Moran and Chou Chou, she might be able to hum a few words, but now that everyone in the team is here, she absolutely cannot open her mouth.
What if she accidentally broke her voice...
She had already embarrassed herself enough in front of Pei Yan, and couldn't afford to add to her embarrassment.
Qiao Ran turned his attention back to Weibo.
On Weibo, the official highlights of her game have been released.
There are more positive comments than negative ones in the comments, and netizens' opinions of her are slowly changing.
Lazy Cat is Not Sleepy: I used to think that even if a female player played support, she would definitely choose Yao or Yu, but I didn’t expect that she is quite good at playing.
This is fate: the triple kill in the tower dive was really amazing! Full of details!
Chaomu: It’s rare to see a support and Pei Shen playing together without losing points. This new support has only been officially announced for a short time. How did they develop such tacit understanding?
There is no more her in the world: I didn’t understand why NSD was so stupid as to choose a woman to join the team, but now I have to say that NSD is very brave!
Dusty fan: LC was completely pinned to the ground this time, with no chance of fighting back. Does that mean there might be something wrong with the World Championship qualifiers?
…
As Qiao Ran was scrolling through the posts, she discovered that in addition to these normal discussions, she also gained a lot of fans who were attracted by her looks.
Qiao Qiao is the cutest in the world: I am so impressed by the beauty of this little sister! What a treasure girl, she is beautiful and plays games so well!
Cheering for Joe: After watching a live game, my screen got wet!
Triple Kill Girl: I declare! From today on, I am a fan of this girl!
Falling for the pomegranate skirt: You guys are fans of the face! I want to be a fan of the husband! Wifey stick~
National server douchebag: Get out of here! My wife is mine!
…
Qiao Ran has always known that there are girlfriend fans and wife fans in the circle. Not to mention those far away, Pei Yan has a lot of them.
However, she never expected that one day she would have such fans.
Being called "wife" by these netizens all the time makes me feel embarrassed. I just turned off my phone and stopped watching!
"I'm going to the bathroom."
After sitting in the private room for a long time, Qiao Ran felt a little stuffy. Besides, everyone was singing and laughing, and it would be boring for her to sit there. So she decided to go out and stand for a while to get some fresh air.
Moran just grabbed a song before he took the microphone.
"Let me go with you." Compared to singing, Moran felt that going to the bathroom with good friends was more important.
Don’t ask, it’s just a special sense of ritual between girls.
"No need, just sing your song. You've been waiting for this song for a long time. I'll be back soon." Qiao Ran pushed Moran back to his seat.
After leaving the private room, Qiao Ran took two deep breaths and felt much more relaxed.
She found a sofa in the hall and sat down. Occasionally, she could hear the howling sounds of ghosts, foxes, and wolves coming from other private rooms that were not closed tightly. It was a bit funny.
"Didn't you say you were going to the bathroom? Why did you sneak here alone?"
When Qiao Ran heard the voice, she turned around and saw Pei Yan standing behind her with his hands in his pockets. His team uniform was casually open, and there were simple letters printed on the white T-shirt underneath. He stood tall and straight.
The changing light and shadow in the KTV made Pei Yan's slightly cold face look a little charming.
