The King's Return

In the emergency department at night, the medical staff were busy dealing with patients, and there were many family members walking back and forth anxiously in the corridor. It was not convenient to talk in the hospital. Qin Mo simply took Qiu Zongping outside the hospital and found someone who was not there Where people stop.

Under the illumination of the street lamp, Qin Mo's face looked a little cold, and Qiu Zongping said in a low voice, "Moshen, please speak directly."

Qin Mo looked back at the young man in front of him, and asked, "Do you know why I gave the vice-captain to you instead of Yuan Xi when I retired?"

Qiu Zongping thought for a while, and said, "It's because Yuan Xi refused to inherit your summoner style of play, insisted on taking the violent offensive route, and didn't like to use pets to control opponents..."

Qin Mo said, "What else?"

Qiu Zongping was silent for a moment, and then said: "Also...he was reckless and impulsive back then, so he was not suitable to lead the Fengse team."

Qin Mo nodded and said: "You are right. Yuan Xi was young when he was in the training camp, and his ideas were very immature. Relying on his own talent, he always wanted to prove that he was the most powerful caller among the younger generation. Teacher. In order to prove himself, he always likes to oppose my suggestions. I taught him the style of play, but he didn’t follow it honestly.

Qin Mo paused, and then said: "On the contrary, you listened to me very much at the time. I taught you the way of playing and tactical awareness, and you quickly learned them all. In addition, you have a calm personality and a steady approach. After careful consideration, Team Yan decided to hand over the third captain of Team Fengse to you."

Qiu Zongping said: "I know..."

At the beginning, when Qin Mo left the team and let Qiu Zongping take over, Yuan Xi, who always thought she was better, was awkward for a while. Later, when the next season started, due to the sharp decline in Feng Se's overall performance, Yuan Xi was not in the mood to talk to Qiu Zongping again. Zong Ping was in a cold war. As a new generation of dual-summoner combination, after experiencing countless failures, they gradually worked out a set of cooperation patterns that suited them, and their relationship improved.

Qin Mo said: "Yuan Xi's thoughts are very simple. He wants to prove himself, so he is not willing to learn my style of play, but to study a new set of ideas by himself. On the surface, he is indeed a bit reckless and impulsive. But when you look back and think about it carefully, do you think there was anything wrong with what he did?"

Qiu Zongping replied in a low voice: "There is nothing wrong with him. He has a very fast hand speed. It may be more suitable for him to take the route of violent output."

Qin Mo changed the subject: "Then why don't you believe him?"

Qiu Zongping's back stiffened slightly, and he couldn't answer for a while.

—Don’t believe him?

Sure enough, Moshen could see that in today's game, he did not believe Yuan Xi's judgment at the critical moment, because his subconscious had already questioned Yuan Xi's state, thinking that Yuan Xi might act impulsively, so At the critical moment, I did not choose to cooperate with Yuan Xi, but adopted a more conservative defensive strategy.

This is also the key reason why the Yunxiao trio's coordination was messy and they lost two games in a row.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Qin Mo couldn't help but become stern: "Xiaoqiu, when we made you the team leader, we took a fancy to your ability to keep calm in any situation, but don't you think that now you are completely Have you lost your cool?"

Qiu Zongping: "..."

Qin Mo said coldly: "Just because Yuan Xi likes you, you think Yuan Xi will act emotionally, play games with emotions, and make mistakes in judgment—what do you think of Yuan Xi? An idiot who only thinks about dating? He is a professional player with three years of game experience, do you think he can't even grasp this point?"

Qiu Zongping: "..."

Qin Mo went on to say: "At the beginning, when you and Mo Jue made an appointment for the water friends competition, why did I agree so simply? It was because, I wanted to see if you could adjust your status as soon as possible after the carnival. The water friends competition Yuan Xi made a serious mistake, and even Shen He didn't escape the control, I knew at that time that you must have said something to Yuan Xi, which made him lose his mind during the game, as if he was sleepwalking."

Qiu Zongping lowered his head and said, "I told him that I only regard him as a friend."

Qin Mo's face became even more ugly: "Then you might as well not say anything."

Qiu Zongping: "..."

Qin Mo frowned and said, "You really don't know much about Yuan Xi. His mind goes straight and he thinks things will not turn around. If you reject him so tactfully, he will definitely feel that you despise him and hate him. As long as you get into such a situation In a dead end, the more he thinks about it, the more uncomfortable he will be. Besides, what you did next has been proving this point - in that water friend match, after Yuan Xi made a mistake against Shen He, you immediately replaced him. ?"

Qiu Zongping: "..."

Qin Mo said coldly: "You don't even understand the character of your teammates, and you think you're doing this for his own good? You're so wrong!"

Qiu Zongping: "..."

Thinking about it carefully, it really is true. At that time, Yunxiao and Mo Jue were playing water friends. Mo Jue's Gemini hadn't been on the team all the time. It was Shen He and Mu Ran who were newcomers practicing. On Yunxiao's side, Qiu Zongping let Yuan Xi win the first round. After Yuan Xi made a mistake, Qiu Zongping immediately replaced him and never let him play again.

Qiu Zongping's idea is that Yuan Xi's condition is not good, and he might be beaten by the opponent if he reluctantly plays, which will affect his confidence. He thinks that he let Yuan Xi rest is "considerate of the opponent", but from Yuan Xi's standpoint , I made a mistake in the first round, and I didn't let him go later. Is the captain angry at him for playing abnormally, or is the captain disgusting him for embarrassing Yun Xiao?

Or keep Yuan Xi away from the first game, and give the newcomers a chance to practice.Or, after Yuan Xi made a mistake, he continued to play, and he also played in person to win a game, so that Yuan Xi regained his confidence.

He made a mistake and let him sit on the bench, and it was just when he was rejected...

No wonder Yuan Xi remained depressed for the next few days, it was because of her way of dealing with it that there was something wrong.

Thinking of this, Qiu Zongping couldn't help sweating in his hands.

Moshen was right in scolding, he was so self-righteous, he never considered issues from Yuan Xi's standpoint, he always felt that he was doing Yuan Xi's best.

But what he did next, is there any one thing that is really good for Yuan Xi?

Worried that he couldn't adjust his mentality well, so he deliberately disassembled Yunxiao's strongest dual-summoner combination, and asked him and Xuewei to bring newcomers to fight?

Isn't this clearly telling him "I don't believe you"?

In order to calm Yuan Xi, he intentionally disassembled the double summoning combination. The two have not cooperated in the arena for more than a month, and even in the usual training. He would cooperate with unfamiliar people, but at the critical moment, he did not believe Yuan Xi's judgment, so he resolutely rejected Yuan Xi's proposal...

How sad should Yuan Xi feel?

If it was a player with a more violent temper, he might have dropped the keyboard on the spot.

I thought I was thinking of him, but in fact, every move I made was deeply hurting him...

If it wasn't for the depressed mood during this time, Yuan Xi, who usually doesn't like to drink much, would be so drunk today?

Just now he tore off Lin Yao's collar and got angry at Lin Yao, but when he got to the bottom of it, the culprit of Yuan Xi's accident today...wasn't he himself?

The more Qiu Zongping thought about it, the more he regretted it, wishing he could go back to the past and slap himself hard.

He is not a good captain, he is just a bastard who thinks he is calm, but is actually the least calm; he thinks he is helping his teammates, but actually pushes them into the quagmire time and time again.

Thinking of this, Qiu Zongping couldn't help lowering his head in shame, and said, "It's my fault... I shouldn't have mistrusted him... He is better than I thought. In fact, he made a mistake in the Shuiyou competition because he was just beaten I refused to feel sad, but afterward, he has quickly adjusted back, and there is no problem when training with Xuewei and the others..."

Qiu Zongping's voice trembled slightly: "If I believed in him, I should continue to cooperate with him and come up with a lineup of dual summoners earlier, so that he can let go of his knots and enter the state faster...but I deliberately kept a distance from him, On the contrary, it made his knot more and more serious...I really did something wrong..."

In Qin Mo's memory, Qiu Zongping could maintain a calm expression no matter what happened. This was the first time he saw Qiu Zongping look so depressed and regretful.

Sighing softly in his heart, Qin Mo went on to say: "Your starting point is good, for the sake of the team, for him... However, your quick way of cutting the mess is less humane, if you think more from his point of view Think about it, it won’t be as bad as it is now.”

Qin Mo paused, and said in a soft voice: "I know it has been difficult for you these years, but Xiao Qiu, when we handed over the captain to you, we didn't ask you to lead the team to win the championship. Every team will There are peaks and valleys. When Master was the captain, Feng Se’s lineup is not at the same level as it is now. You don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself. When traveling, you always think about the end, and you will ignore many scenery along the way. You are like this now In such a state, I only think about grades, victory and defeat in my mind, so I ignore the feelings of people around me."

Moshen really knows him, knows his pressure, and understands his thoughts...

He really puts too much emphasis on the results of the team, and his behavior is always less humane. Over the years, he has been studying tactics and games all day long, and his mind has gradually become rigid. He no longer knows what it feels like to like someone, and what to do if he is liked. manage?

Thinking about it carefully, I seem to have become a competition machine, but I didn't pay much attention to the very important word "love".

But the most important thing for a team to be invincible is not only the strength of the players, but also the family-like friendship among teammates and the trust they are willing to give back.

Qiu Zongping took a deep breath, looked up at Qin Mo and said, "Moshen, I'm not a good captain...I've let you down."

Qin Mo stretched out his hand and patted Qiu Zongping's shoulder: "I'm not disappointed, I just think that you don't need to make yourself live so hard."

Qiu Zongping nodded lightly: "Well, I know."

Qin Mo turned around and said, "Go and see Yuan Xi, and have a good talk with him."

***

Zhou Xuewei and Lin Yao pushed Yuan Xi into the ward, and Sang Jun and Chu Jianxin also came to help, and carried him to the hospital bed and settled him down.

Yuan Xi was a little drunk, with a cast on his left leg. He looked at his suspended leg curiously, and said, "This pair of pants is so strange, why is there only half of it?"

Everyone: "..."

Zhou Xuewei sat by the bed and fed him half a glass of water, and then said: "First team, Yuan Xi always likes to talk nonsense when he is drunk. He used to grab me and say 'I like you' to Lin Yao when he was drunk. This kind of words, what he said to Team Qiu just now, he probably didn't realize it himself, so don't mind."

She gave Lin Yao a wink, and Lin Yao immediately echoed: "Ah, that's right! Yuan Xi confessed her love everywhere after getting drunk. This bad habit has been going on for many years!"

Chu Jianxin, who had been embarrassed since entering the room, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "So that's the case, hahaha, I was shocked, I thought he really... likes Qiu Zongping!"

Sang Jun’s expression didn’t change much. Xuewei has a high EQ. Using this method to help Yuan Xi smooth things over, he could only fool Chu Jianxin, a heartless guy. Sang Jun couldn’t believe such a reason, but he also Not wanting to break the news, he changed the subject and said, "Lin Yao, why don't you stay and take care of Yuan Xi tonight, after all, you caused the matter."

Lin Yao hurriedly said: "No problem! I will stay and guard him."

Sang Jun reminded: "We are flying back to Beijing at noon tomorrow. Remember to set the alarm clock and go directly to the airport when the time comes."

Just as he was talking, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind him: "No need, Lin Yao will go back with your captain, and I will take care of Yuan Xi."

——It was Qiu Zongping and Qin Mo.

Moshen called Team Qiu out, and everyone could guess that it was to give a lecture.Although Qiu Zongping is now the team leader and sits on an equal footing with Qin Moping, after all, Qin Mo and Qiu Zongping have a mentoring relationship. If Qin Mo wants to scold Qiu Zongping, Qiu Zongping can only accept it obediently.

But judging from their faces, both of them looked calm, as if nothing had happened.

Chu Jianxin continued to come over to smooth things over: "Let Lin Yao keep watch at night, Team Qiu, you've been busy all day, why don't you go back and rest."

Qiu Zongping said decisively: "No, Yuan Xi and I happen to have something to talk about, so you all go back."

When he said this, it was hard for everyone to argue with him, Chu Jianxin also shut up, stood behind Sang Jun and said, "Hey, Sang Sang, let's go back first?"

Sang Jun nodded: "Well, let's go back... Where are Moshen and Hanshen? Do you want to go together?"

Xiao Han had been standing by the side watching the show, and when he heard Sang Jun mentioning himself, he said, "I listen to Xiaomo."

Qin Mo thought for a while and said, "Then let's go back too, order two cars, the three of you, Deputy Sang, will get one, and Xiao Han and I will take Xuewei along."

Everyone had no objections, and after bidding farewell to Qiu Zongping, they took a taxi back to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, Chu Jianxin said, "Why do I think it's wrong? Is Yuan Xi really confessing his love everywhere when he was drunk like Zhou Xuewei said? But what he said to Qiu Zongping today was not a simple confession—I I didn't mean to like you, Team Qiu, don't hate me... This line seems to be the reaction after the confession was rejected?"

Sang Jun smiled slightly and said, "Your IQ has finally logged in again."

Chu Jianxin said dissatisfiedly: "I just have a longer reflex arc."

Sang Jun thought to himself, your reflex arc is not a little longer, and it takes an hour to recover, it is really admirably slow.

Chu Jianxin looked complicated: "So, Yuan Xi really likes Qiu Zongping? How could he like men with such strong tastes!"

Sang Jun: "..."

My taste is stronger, I like a man like you.

Sang Jun smiled helplessly, changed the subject and said, "This car accident made me want to understand something."

Chu Jianxin came over: "Quickly, what is it?"

Sang Jun said: "When Moshen retired, it should have something to do with the car accident."

Chu Jianxin looked shocked: "Huh??"

Sang Jun explained: "Car accident, hand injury, retirement. Returning to the league after three years of rehabilitation, this should be Moshen's experience."

Chu Jianxin was puzzled: "How did you guess that?"

Sang Jun said: "It's not a guess, it's a reasonable guess. When the car accident was mentioned in the hospital today, Qin Mo's face suddenly changed, and Xiao Han immediately held his hand to comfort him. Moreover, Qin Mo asked the doctor Yuan Xi's question. Whether the leg can recover or not, he seems to know the fracture very well. Based on the situation when he retired and the way he changed to playing swordsman and abandoning summoner after he came back, I can only come to this most likely conclusion.”

Chu Jianxin had a look of worship: "Sangsang, if you don't want to be an e-sports player, you can write mystery novels!"

Sang Jun said in a low voice: "Even if we know, we still have to keep it a secret, because Moshen obviously doesn't want to reveal it. He suffered a lot of grievances back then, and he can come back again. I really admire him."

Chu Jianxin said with emotion: "Having said this, I suddenly feel that the two of us are actually the luckiest people in the Dubu League. We didn't suffer any hardships before, and we were hired by a wealthy club from the very beginning. So I led the team to the new area and became the deputy team, because the players are very strong, and the pressure on us is not so great."

Sang Jun smiled slightly and said: "The current experience is really lucky, what will happen in the future... maybe."

——One day in the future, if you realize that I like you, maybe you won't feel that it is a kind of luck to go to the new game with me.

Sang Jun didn't say any more, turned around and went to the bathroom, and stood under the shower head to let the running water wash away his messy thoughts.

***

In the hospital ward, after everyone left, only Qiu Zongping and Yuan Xi remained.

Yuan Xi didn't speak, just looked at Qiu Zongping blankly.

Qiu Zongping went to the bed and sat down, gently touched his head, and said, "I'm sorry."

In a daze, when he heard Qiu Zongping apologizing to himself, Yuan Xi's eyes suddenly became hot, and he looked at him with some grievances: "You really, don't like me at all?"

Qiu Zongping was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know."

Yuan Xi grabbed his hand and said seriously: "Qiu Zongping, I am not as good-looking as you, I am not as good at playing games as you are, and my personality is not as calm as yours, but... I am sincere to you, I really like you You...I'm so uncomfortable. I'm nervous and happy to see you, and I have to pretend to be indifferent...Lin Yao said that my acting skills are not good...Will you laugh at me? You must be laughing at me, think I Is it annoying? That's why you have to keep a distance from me..."

He was so drunk that he spoke incoherently, just kept repeating that I like you, I like you very much...

Listening to Yuan Xi's confused confession, Qiu Zongping only felt that his heart was pierced with dense needles, and the slight tingling sensation made him feel sad too.

Qiu Zongping lightly stroked his somewhat prickly hair, and asked softly, "I'm not good at all, why do you like me?"

Yuan Xi replied blankly: "I don't know either."

Such an answer made Qiu Zongping startled - don't you know?

That's right, how can you speak clearly about feelings?Yuan Xi doesn't know why he likes him, and he doesn't know how he feels about Yuan Xi, is it simply to be a friend, or is it more important than a friend?

The moment he received a text message from Lin Yao saying that Yuan Xi was sent to the hospital in an accident, he even had the illusion that his heart stopped beating, and immediately asked Zhou Xuewei to take a taxi to the hospital without tidying up his clothes, and his mind was empty all the way... …Would he be so excited if another team member had an accident?

Qiu Zongping didn't know.

As Moshen said, he only cares about the team's results, and has neglected so many things over the years that he doesn't even understand his own feelings.

Yuan Xi seemed to be tired while talking, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep, calling Qiu Zongping's name in her dream.Qiu Zongping sat beside him in a complicated mood and watched him. Because the lights were turned off, the room seemed quieter. Through the light from the street lamp outside the window, one could see Yuan Xi's face, with bushy eyebrows, long eyelashes, and single eyelids. The nose is not so high and the mouth is a bit small, which is not handsome for a man. Usually, when he is arguing with people with wide eyes, he looks like the face of a villain in a TV series. Kind of weirdly cute.

Qiu Zongping sighed softly, took out his mobile phone to post on Weibo, he typed a paragraph, felt that the expression was not accurate enough, then deleted it and typed it again, after repeating this several times, he finally confirmed and pressed send: " Please don’t blame Yuan Xi, it’s because I misjudged and misdirected. Because I’m the captain, it’s not easy to lead the team these years, everyone is more tolerant and trust me, but a mistake is a mistake, I have to review myself, I can’t let Yuan Xi help me take the responsibility. Yuan Xi is a very good player, I hope everyone will encourage him more, and less prejudice and reprimand. Next, we will practice hard and work together to come up with the strongest dual-summoner lineup in Yunxiao , don’t let everyone down.”

After this Weibo was sent out, Sang Jun, Chu Jianxin, Han Mo and others forwarded it immediately. As soon as they retweeted it, other masters who didn't know the situation of the other teams also retweeted it. The news swept the screen. Since Team Qiu took the initiative to stand up and take responsibility, fans will naturally stop scolding Yuan Xi, and most rational netizens also left messages saying that they look forward to the double summoning again.

Qiu Zongping knew that nothing could be redeemed by doing this, but it was his fault that he couldn't let Yuan Xi be hurt by public opinion.

***

The next morning, when Yuan Xi woke up, she found herself in the hospital with a cast fixed on her leg, and Qiu Zongping was lying beside her.

Yuan Xi struggled to get up, but Qiu Zongping was startled awake, and immediately came over to support him: "Are you awake?"

"Uh... what's going on here?" His memory of what happened after he was drunk was very vague, but he still looked away awkwardly from Shang Qiu Zongping's gaze.

"You were in a car accident last night when you were drunk and your left leg was broken. Lin Yao sent you to the hospital." Qiu Zongping explained in a low voice, "Don't worry, the injury is not serious. Rest for a while and your leg will be fine." recovery."

"..." Yuan Xi's face was stiff, "Then... what about Lin Yao?"

"I told him to go back. I am the one who is watching over you." Qiu Zongping was silent for a moment before he said, "I'm sorry, Yuan Xi."

"Ah...w-why do you have to apologize to me?" Yuan Xi said in a panic, "yes, it's my own drinking, and it's none of your business."

"I apologize because I shouldn't have mistrusted you. In fact, you are very good. You can tell the difference between the game and your personal emotions. I am the one who can't tell the difference. I am too self-righteous... You are the main output of the Yunxiao team, I should I believe in you and cooperate with you." Qiu Zongping said, "I'm really sorry."

"..." Yuan Xi's eyes were a little hot, facing such an apology, he didn't know what to say.

"Also, I don't hate you." Qiu Zongping whispered, "Don't think too much, even if I can't respond to you emotionally, I won't dislike you or hate you because of it. You have always been my favorite Appreciative professional players, can you understand?"

"I understand." Yuan Xi lowered her head, and after a while, she said softly, "I'm not the kind of person who can't take it or let it go. Since you don't like me, then I don't need to get entangled. Where is the world? Fangcao, maybe I can meet someone better." He looked out the window, resisting the soreness in his eyes and said, "Don't worry, we are just good partners in the future, and I won't pester you again. "

Looking at the back of his head, listening to his brave words, I remembered the scene of him saying "I like you" repeatedly after being drunk last night...

Qiu Zongping's heart seemed to be grabbed by a pair of hands.

He knew that Yuan Xi deliberately found steps for each other, and wanted to temporarily expose this embarrassing situation, so Qiu Zongping could only follow his steps down.

Yuan Xi pretended to be calm and said: "It's just that my left leg is injured and I can't play for the time being. I'm causing you trouble."

Qiu Zongping said in a low voice: "Just take a good rest, and I will arrange the game."

Yuan Xi let out a "hmm" and didn't speak any more.

It's hard to like someone and not get back.And letting go of a relationship was more difficult than he thought.

Dilemma, for the sake of the team, he can only pretend to let it go... But if he can let it go so easily, it's not true love.

It doesn't matter, from now on, he will secretly bury this liking in his heart, he will improve his acting skills, fool everyone, and finally fool himself.
