Our team is not allowed to fall in love

Of course Cheng Xi failed to meet Lu Miaozhou.

As soon as the match-fixing incident happened, the whole LION would inevitably be covered with fish, and others were afraid to avoid it, so why would Cheng Xi be allowed to rush to get involved in the muddy water.

The manager and team members of MAX half-dragged and half-carried him back to the base, locked the door, and did not allow him to step out of the team base.

In the next few days, Cheng Xi all asked for leave and stayed behind closed doors in his room.He sent a message to Lu Miaozhou when he opened his eyes, and he was still paying attention to the public opinion on the Internet when he closed his eyes for a second.

Three days later, the investigation results of the WPL China Division Headquarters came out. The No. 2 Assault Soldier and Sniper Player of the Lion team received a total of 1000 million yuan from the underground gambling house to counterfeit the match. The evidence was a recording and follow-up provided by Lu Miaozhou. Checked payment records.

The two players face sky-high liquidated damages and a lifetime ban.

It seems that everything has come to an end here.

Cheng Xi slept less than ten hours in three days, and when he looked at the screen of his mobile phone, his eyes were all colorful and blurred.

He quit Weibo, opened WeChat, and the dialog box with Lu Miaozhou was full of urgent questions from him alone. There were dozens of questions, but no one responded.

Lu Miaozhou's silence was like an invisible net, which completely enveloped his heart. As time went by, it became tighter and tighter, unable to break free, and became more and more disturbed.

He drowsily slept for several hours in this heart-wrenching feeling, and then was awakened by a violent knock on the door.

Lin Shen broke through the door and saw him curled up on the bed with disheveled hair, dirty clothes, and a pale and lifeless face, so he said something.

"flame... Zhou Shen announced his retirement, just now, 2 minutes ago."

The memory card stopped abruptly at this second.

Cheng Xi's empty eyes gradually returned to focus, and his cheeks were a little cold from the wind. He just reached out to wipe it off, but saw Lu Miaozhou walking in front of him at some point.

The young man raised his hand to lightly touch his cheek, and wiped his cheek with his thumb a few times. The coolness of the wiped water mixed with the rough touch of his fingertips made him want to back away.

The clear memory only stays there.

Because later, the Internet was full of malicious speculation about Lu Miaozhou's retirement.

Some said that Lu Miaozhou also participated in the anti-counterfeiting competition, because the spoils were not evenly distributed, so he betrayed his teammates to save himself.

Some said that Lu Miaozhou's retirement was due to his conscience, and the officials helped him refute the rumors to protect the star players.

Otherwise, it's fine, why should you retire?

Cheng Xi's account was confiscated by the team, so he opened a small account to tear up with the trolls who scolded Lu Miaozhou, saying vicious curses learned from the punks in high school.

I can't remember the madness at that time clearly, and no one knows, no one will believe it. A child with an outstanding family background and a well-behaved personality used to defend the people he cared about on the Internet like a mad dog.

The tears were wiped away in a short while.

It's just that the boy's light brown eyes were full of water vapor, facing the still slightly drunk sunshine, his eye sockets were flushed, as if he had suffered a great grievance.

The person who was close in front of him didn't take back his hand, and moved his palm back from his cheek to the back of his head, stroking it gently, with a low voice and a warm tone, which seemed to contain guilt: "I'm not avoiding you, Xiaoxi. "

The words stuck in his throat, followed by Lu Miaozhou's indulgent explanation, suddenly seemed like a flood that opened the gate, and it was not under Cheng Xi's control at all.

"Then why, when you retired, you lied to me that you had an injury on your hand? Until now, you have refused to tell me the real reason."

"Why did you block my WeChat, why did I ask others for your news, and there was nothing. I came to find you, but you didn't see me?"

Cheng Xi lowered his head and closed his eyes, as if this would prevent Lu Miaozhou from seeing that he was crying and shut back the tears gushing out.

But such a childish bravado, in Lu Miaozhou's eyes, there was nothing to hide. The young man was pulled by the wrist, and the distance between him and the young man was repeatedly drawn. In the end, he was useless, and his forehead rested on Lu Miaozhou's shoulder.

A pleasant smell of tobacco permeates the youth's team uniform jacket, which is cold and familiar.

"If what happened back then is changed to the present, I won't hide it from you."

"But Xiaoxi... how could I tell you at that time? Your manager told me that you locked yourself in the room, didn't eat or drink, and couldn't sleep all night. How can you tell me to rest assured?"

How can I be willing?

"In addition, Lion is gone, you still have to go to the World Championships, and you have to shoulder the responsibility of the captain of the first team. The entire e-sports circle is watching you. You came to see me, in addition to affecting your own game state, It's of no use."

What Lu Miaozhou didn't say was that he didn't want Cheng Xi to see his distraught appearance in the past two years.

Whether it is selfishness or vanity.He doesn't want the people he likes to see that he has to do his best to even maintain a basic life.

Lu Miaozhou lowered his head slightly, lowered his eyes, and looked at the weeping boy leaning on his arms.

Cheng Xi was indeed very thin, with a thin body, and he was wearing an oversized team uniform jacket, which was blown empty by the wind.

There was a dull pain in his heart, urging him to reach out and wrap his arms around the boy's shoulders, gently hugging him.

"I never thought of not wanting you, abandoning you, these two years... I always thought that I could come back to find you someday."

Cheng Xi subconsciously grabbed the clothes around Lu Miaozhou's waist, and was gently patted on the back by the young man to coax him, and went through what Lu Miaozhou just said in his mind. It's about to melt.

After all, they are now on the same team.

After all, Lu Miaozhou still loves him, spoils him, and hates him.

That's better than anything.

It's just that Xi Zai, who still had a tricky thought in his heart, deliberately rubbed his tears on Lu Miaozhou's shoulder indiscriminately. After almost slowing down, he raised his eyes slyly, and caught Lu Miaozhou's phoenix eyes without hiding it. The helpless pampering, almost unable to hold back the corners of her lips.

"Then now...why are you retiring, why can't you tell me?"

"Yeah." Lu Miaozhou looked at the tears Cheng Xi wiped on his coat, but tightened his hands holding the young man, his voice was a little hoarse, "I'll talk to you again later, okay? Xiaoxi?"

Cheng Xi nodded, followed Lu Miaozhou to the bathroom to wash his face, and the redness at the end of his eyes subsided a little.

Finally recalled their purpose of coming out this time.

"Brother Lu, why are we here?"

If coming here just made him sad for nothing...

"Come get the thermos."

Upon hearing the response, Cheng Xi turned around and saw Lu Miaozhou coming down from the attic with two beautifully wrapped bags in his hands.

"Xiaoxi, do you still remember, when you were in school, you told me that you like cats?"
