Beautiful women usually send messages when something happens. Once they make a phone call, it means the matter is very serious.
"Hello..." Pei Yan answered the phone, his voice a bit lazy, deciding to strike first before his mother could say anything. "Mom, what time is it? I, an esports player, need to go to bed, so why aren't you still here? My dad doesn't care... Do you still want this face you've spent so much money on every day to maintain?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Pei Yan's mother was wearing a facial mask and using her cell phone on speakerphone.
Pei Yan's father was sitting next to them, listening attentively.
"Let me ask you, what does your circle of friends mean?" Pei Yan's mother pressed the mask on her face and didn't dare to speak too loudly.
"What do you mean? You called to ask, don't you already have the answer?" Pei Yan was speechless.
"I mean, who is this person? Do your dad and I know each other?" Pei Yan's mother warned her son. "Let me tell you, although I'm open-minded, I have something to say upfront. It's fine if you like anyone, but if you want to talk, have a good conversation. Don't be like your dad's brothers' sons, who take advantage of their good conditions to support some little internet celebrities. If you dare to do that, I'll break your legs!"
"Mom...is this occupational discrimination?" Pei Yan touched his nose. If you really want to be picky, Qiao Ran was more or less an internet celebrity before...
When Mother Pei heard this, her heart skipped a beat. What did Pei Yan mean by this?
Could it be that his son really found an internet celebrity?
It’s not that she looks down on internet celebrities, there is no distinction between high and low professions.
It's just that she is in the entertainment industry and has seen too many internet celebrities who say one thing in public and another in private for fame and fortune.
With his son's personality, if he were to encounter such...
Mother Pei got a headache just thinking about it.
"Tell me the truth so I can be mentally prepared." Mother Pei said bluntly.
Pei Yan rarely heard his mother speak in this tone, so he deliberately teased her, "She's not a big internet celebrity, she just did live streaming before."
Upon hearing this, Mother Pei couldn't continue wearing the mask anymore. She simply took it off and threw it aside. "Look at you! What can I say about you? You have such a wonderful girl on your team, beautiful and well-behaved, with the same profession as you and something to talk about, and yet you turn a blind eye to her... Ugh! You're really pissing me off!"
When Pei's mother thought that Pei Yan was looking for someone else instead of Qiao Ran, she felt like she had a heart attack.
It is said that good things should be kept within the family, but I don’t know where such a good girl like Qiao Ran will end up in the future.
"Mom, I've always been curious. You and Qiao Ran didn't know each other before, and you've only met once. Why do you like her so much?"
Mother Pei said confidently: "Nonsense! Haven't you heard that appearance reflects the heart? Qiao Ran is such a good-looking child, how bad can he be!"
"..." Pei Yan didn't expect his mother's reason to be so simple and crude, "Then there's a word called femme fatale..."
"Get out of here!" Mother Pei felt like she was going to be mad at her son.
Pei's father couldn't stand it any longer: "Okay, stop teasing your mother."
"Alright." Pei Yan decided to talk things over nicely. "Qiao Ran was a live streamer before he became a professional. Didn't you check that out before?"
Pei Yan felt that what he had said should have been very clear.
"You mean..." Mother Pei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she slapped Father Pei on the thigh, "Ouch! You are worthy of being my good son! You should have told me earlier... I almost misunderstood just now..."
Father Pei covered his leg which was hurt by the slap and gasped.
"Hey! When are you going to bring her back? Your dad and I have to schedule our schedules in advance and prepare gifts. What does she like?" Pei's mother wanted to move the Civil Affairs Bureau to her home right now.
"Why are you in such a hurry... It's not the right time yet." Pei Yan thought about Qiao Ran's condition and felt that it would not be appropriate to take her home in such a hurry.
"Then you better hurry up. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Qiao Ran is so beautiful, there are so many people who want to pursue her!"
"I understand." Pei Yan agreed, "Can you have some confidence in your son's charm..."
"Okay, okay, okay, Mom won't ask too many questions. Just be nice to me. Mom is going to sleep!" Pei's mother hung up the phone happily after receiving an unexpected surprise.
Tonight is destined to be a good dream.
——
After the break, the team resumed their daily training.
After the Autumn Season, the Challenger Cup and some small events will follow.
NSD performed well in these competitions.
Qiao Ran has basically never made any mistakes, and has gained more fans and attention by making unexpected choices of heroes every time.
These can be seen from Qiao Ran's skyrocketing number of Weibo followers, as well as the topic square and live broadcast barrage.
Gradually, everyone got used to Qiao Ran's presence and stopped making an issue of gender.
Some teams even began to follow NSD's example and recruited a lot of female players when recruiting young trainees, hoping to pick one or two of them and train them to become the second Qiao Ran.
Just one week before the Chinese New Year, NSD also welcomed new members.
The substitute that Zhang Qian had been longing for for a long time has finally been found.
Early in the morning, Zhang Qian asked Jiang Wenzhou to knock on each door and pull them out of their warm beds.
Zhao Jie was very dissatisfied with this: "Coach, it's only what time is it... Which team wakes up so early? It's so embarrassing to tell others about this. People will definitely think we haven't trained hard enough."
"Didn't you guys just skip training yesterday?" Zhang Qian ignored the lazy Zhao Jie. "Everyone, sit down. I have something to announce."
"So grand? What's the matter?" Ye Xiaofan rubbed his eyes, still feeling sleepy.
Qiao Ran wasn't in much better shape either. Last night, he and Pei Yan played duo queue on their trumpets until late at night. Now his mind was blank. He held up his head, trying hard not to fall on the table.
"Come in." Pei Yan pushed open the door and brought in a little boy.
The little boy was not tall, but his facial features were delicate and his eyes were full of excitement and curiosity.
"These are the replacement players selected from the youth academy this time. They're quite good in every aspect," Zhang Qian introduced, sounding a warning to the others present. "So, all of you veterans, hold yourselves together. If anyone gets washed up on the beach by the younger generation, just deal with it yourself. Don't come crying to me."
"Please introduce yourself to everyone." Zhang Qian turned and said to the new substitute.
After bringing the person in, Pei Yan, having completed his task, sat back in his seat.
Pei Yan mentioned to Qiao Ran two days ago that a substitute had been chosen.
Therefore, when Qiao Ran saw people, he was not as surprised as others.
"Captain, is this the one you were talking about?" Qiao Ran lowered his voice and moved closer to Pei Yan.
She remembered that Pei Yan had told her that she should have some impression of this person.
But when Qiao Ran looked at it now, he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
Although this little boy couldn't compare to Pei Yan's looks, he wasn't ugly either. If Qiao Ran had seen him before, he felt that he would have a good impression of him.
"Hello everyone, my name is Su Yang, you can call me Gu Li." The boy smiled cheerfully, showing his two small canine teeth. "I'm not here to slap you seniors on the beach, I'm here to show you the water dispenser. I hope you can give me more advice in the future!"
As he said that, Su Yang bowed to everyone.
"This voice...why does it sound familiar?" Qiao Ran was sure that he must have heard it at some point.
"Can't remember?" Pei Yan gave some hints, "You played games with him some time ago."
"Shall we go?" Qiao Ran seriously suspected that his memory had declined because he didn't get enough sleep. He searched his mind for a long time but couldn't find the answer.
"Remember the guy who cried and said he forgot his girlfriend's anniversary and wanted to break up?"
When Pei Yan said this, Qiao Ran suddenly remembered!
"he?"
Pei Yan nodded. "He happened to be in youth training at the time. He trained every day at the youth training base in the villa next to ours, day and night. My girlfriend called him but he didn't answer, and he didn't reply to her messages because he was busy. In the end, he even forgot an important anniversary... So I broke up with him..."
Zhang Qian found out about this later when he went to talk to the person after he had decided on him.
Qiao Ran was a bit surprised. After all, he and Pei Yan were playing in a duo queue during that livestream, and the person they were matched with was a young player from their own team. The probability of such a thing happening was probably even smaller than winning the lottery jackpot...
"So, has he reconciled with his girlfriend now? Didn't he say he was going to get back together when he hurriedly logged off that day?"
"You can say we've reconciled, or you can say we haven't."
"What's the meaning?"
"Her girlfriend seems to be a fan of yours. She heard that he came to NSD to participate in youth training. She asked him to ask you for an autograph. If he can get it, his girlfriend will let bygones be bygones."
Qiao Ran never expected that she, a single person who had just found her partner, could have such an effect.
After she finished chatting with Pei Yan and Zhang Qian had almost finished explaining everything, Jiang Wenzhou arranged a seat for Su Yang and began to talk about the next steps.
Jiang Wenzhou stood at the front, clapped his hands, and signaled everyone to pay attention.
"Everyone, please be quiet." Jiang Wenzhou cleared his throat. "The club has announced the New Year holiday."
When they heard that they were going to have a holiday, Zhao Jie, Ye Xiaofan and others who were originally possessed by the god of sleepiness instantly became alert and sat up straight.
"The Chinese New Year is early this year, and since there haven't been many games recently, the club decided to let you go home the day before yesterday."
"Wow! This year is so good!" Zhao Jie was instantly excited.
"Wow! I should call my mom in advance to tell her. She will definitely be happier than me!" Ye Xiaofan couldn't hide his excitement.
"Kaizi, are you still not going back this year?" Pei Yan asked.
In previous years, Sun Kai always stayed at the base alone. They also invited him to go back with them, but Sun Kai politely declined.
"I won't be a left-behind child this year. Hang Ying and I have already planned to go somewhere warmer and spend our vacation this year."
"That's great! Remember to bring me some local specialties when you come back." Zhao Jie would never forget to eat.
…
"Alright, alright, calm down and listen to me first." Jiang Wenzhou's voice rose a few decibels. "It's early to leave, so you can come back early too. This year, you have to come back after the fifth day of the New Year. You can't wait until almost the tenth like before."
When they heard that they had to come back early, the few people who were excited just now suddenly became as wilted as eggplants hit by frost.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Spring Split will begin in March. Your performance in the Autumn Split was outstanding this time. The club hopes that you can continue to maintain your dominance in the Spring Split. Naturally, we will allow you to return to training early."
Ever since Jiang Wenzhou started talking about the holiday, Qiao Ran has remained silent.
She would rather stay in the base alone than go home.
But she didn't plan to tell anyone about this.
Just think of it as her self-esteem getting in the way.
She would then pack up some things and pretend to go with everyone else, stroll around for a few hours, and then come back on her own. No one would know.
Given how much Pei Yan cares about Qiao Ran now, he naturally thought that Qiao Ran might have nowhere to go alone.
In addition, his mother called him every now and then to harass him, asking him if he could hurry up and bring Qiao Ran home.
Pei Yan felt that this was a good opportunity.
Y: Do you want to go home with me for the New Year?
Pei Yan didn't beat around the bush and directly sent a message to ask Qiao Ran what he thought.
