Twisted melon bursts sweet [e-sports]

"Put your arms out."

Sitting in the seat of the barbecue stall that I visited last night, Xi Nian held a bottle of iodophor cotton swabs in his hand and said to the person in front of him in a bad tone.

This barbecue business is very good. Even though it is not yet the peak time for supper, the surrounding seats are almost full of people, and their movement here naturally attracts some attention.

Jin Chao touched the letters on the back of his neck with some guilt, and lowered his voice: "It's just scratched the skin, don't use this or that..."

The plastic bottle of iodophor cotton swab was slapped on the table, and the thin plastic and wooden tabletop made an insignificant sound.Xi Nian folded his arms and raised his eyelids slightly, reflecting a frightening cold light, which made Jin Chao, who was sitting directly opposite him, shiver subconsciously.

Before Xi Nian could speak, Jin Chao immediately held up the white flag with a correct attitude: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I stretch out my hand, I stretch out my hand!"

His left arm, which was extra strong due to daily exercise and was even twice as thick as his, was placed in front of Xi Nian. There was a bloodstain on the inner side of the forearm that reached to the elbow. It was not deep, but because of scratches on the skin Broken or oozing blood.

Unscrewing the povidone iodine cotton swab just bought from a nearby pharmacy, Xi Nian frowned and carefully disinfected the wound with a cotton swab.

His expression was so serious, his movements were so cautious, as if he was afraid of hurting himself... Jin Chao, who originally thought it would be unlucky to get a wound when making a wish, suddenly became happy.

"Hey, you don't have to be so careful, I really don't hurt."

Xi Nian raised his eyes and gave him a cool sideways look: "Really? That's a pity. I should have bought alcohol swabs earlier."

Jin Chao: "..."

After disinfecting the entire wound, Xi Nian threw the used cotton swabs into the trash can next to each table: "It's done."

"Hey, thank you." Jin Chaomei looked at Xi Nian's "masterpiece" happily, and seemed to be in a better mood than when he won the game in the afternoon.

"... I think it's not your arm that was wiped by the tree, but your brain?" Xi Nian murmured.

His voice was not loud, and the surroundings were very noisy, Jin Chao couldn't hear clearly, Hanhan raised his head: "Ah?"

"……nothing."

Xi Nian pinched his brows and couldn't help asking: "It's good to hang the wishing card on the branch next to it, why do you have to hang it on the top?"

Just after the two of them finished writing the wishing card, Jin Chao had another moth - he had to climb a tree and hang the wishing card on the branch in the middle.

As a result, he climbed up smoothly, but when he came down, he stepped on the ground. Fortunately, Jin Chao reacted quickly and reached out to grab the branch in time, but in the end he only scratched his arm.

Thinking of that extremely dangerous scene, the veins on Xi Nian's forehead began to jump up happily again: "There was almost an accident."

"Cough, it is said that the higher the wishing card is hung, the easier it is for the wish to come true..." Jin Chao scratched his hair in embarrassment, seeing Xi Nian's face getting gloomy, he quickly explained in a low voice, "Actually, I am very good at climbing trees." ..."

Before he finished speaking, Xi Nian mercilessly interrupted him: "Oh, did you almost fall down so badly?"

"... Tsk," Jin Chao, who was being caught, clicked his tongue helplessly, so he had to tell the truth, "There is a premise for this greatness-before I was ten years old, I was the king of children in our big compound at that time. , Climbing trees down the river, inviting cats to play with dogs, everything is easy... But after I was ten years old, my family moved, and there were no big trees nearby for me to climb, cough, so my skills are a bit rusty."

This is the first time Xi Nian heard Jin Chao talk about his childhood, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed, his thoughts seemed to follow his words to draw a vivid picture of him walking through the market with a group of children when he was young...

"Xi Nian, Xi Nian, every year!"

It was only after a louder call that he finally brought him back to his senses, Xi Nian subconsciously sat up straight: "Huh? What's wrong?"

While coating the well-grilled meat skewers and vegetable skewers served by the waiter with sauce, Jin Chao asked strangely, "What are you thinking? Suddenly you're in a daze."

"...It's nothing, I just think your childhood life was quite rich." Xi Nian took the chili powder from Jin Chao's hand, "You have a wound on your arm, so you can't eat spicy food."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Jin Chao, who was robbed of chili powder, was not angry, and even a little flattered, and his words were unreliable, "Isn't the childhood life of boys like this, isn't it you? You won't stay in the room all day like a lady."

Jin Chao didn't realize that there was something wrong with what he said, and he didn't realize that something was wrong until the person opposite him didn't speak for a full 3 minutes.

Stopping what he was doing, Jin Chao raised his head and looked across——

Xi Nian lowered his head slightly, his bangs were really long, and his soft chocolate-colored hair was draped obediently in front of his eyes, making it difficult for others to see his expression clearly, only the tip of his raised nose and his tightly squeezed thin lips could be seen. The lips and the jaw with no clear edges and corners also stretched into a disharmonious line at this time, coupled with the stiff back and unnaturally curved fingers...

Are you unhappy?

Jin Chao subconsciously recalled what he said just now, could it be that "every lady" annoyed him?

It shouldn't be, Xi Nian is not the kind of person who would get angry over these small details.

He was a little dazed and at a loss, but he apologized first: "Xi Nian, did I say something wrong again? I'm sorry."

The person opposite still didn't look up, but just shook his head: "No, it has nothing to do with you, I just... thought of something from the past."

The muffled voice seemed incompatible with the laughter and aroma around him, and it also made Jin Chao feel a little nervous for no reason.

Although he knew that Xi Nian might not want to talk about it, he still couldn't help but asked with concern: "What's the matter? Can you tell me?"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly added a sentence as if afraid of Xi Nian's misunderstanding: "I'm not gossiping, it's just... If you can, you can tell me, I, I don't want to see you unhappy."

Hearing his words, Xi Nian suddenly raised his head——

The shrunken reflection of himself was completely reflected in the brown eyes.

As long as everyone likes another person, he will endow that person with a kind of magic power-one sentence can make him fall to the bottom, and one sentence can also make him rise to the top of the cloud.

But now Jin Chao obviously used the second half of this "magic power".

The depressed mood seemed to be instantly soothed, and the pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes that were always cold and distant curved into a crescent arc.

"There's nothing I can't say." Xi Nian took the meat skewers from Jin Chao, covered with his favorite sauce and wrapped in paper towels at the bottom of the stick, and took a bite, "It's my childhood." ...To be precise, it is what I told you when I was a child, staying in the room all day like a lady."

"Why? You don't like going out to play?" Jin Chao asked.

But when you think about it, Xi Nian was very homey when he was still in the youth training camp. Occasionally, everyone was busy going out to play during the holidays. Only Xi Nian would rather stay in the youth training camp.

The barbecue here is really delicious, Xi Nian wiped out a skewer while talking, and took another skewer of beef from Jin Chao: "I don't know."

"Ah? What do you mean you don't know?" Jin Chao, who had already found a good reason for him in his heart, was a little confused when he heard his answer.

Xi Nian shrugged, with an innocent expression on his face: "Because I didn't have a childhood, and I haven't gone out to play since I can remember, so I don't know whether I like it or not."

His words were obviously beyond Jin Chao's expectation, and he didn't hold back a word for a long time.

Xi Nian wanted to laugh when he saw his aggrieved expression that almost turned red: "What kind of expression is this? I'm not being locked up in a room. Don't get me wrong."

Jin Chao, who had imagined an ethical and domestic violence drama, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he breathed a sigh of relief too early——

"Although I also went to school at a normal age, my family hired a bunch of tutors for me since I was four years old, and I made up high school all the way." Speaking of these, the beef in Xi Nian's mouth was no longer delicious , "I have no friends, let alone playmates. I grew up with me, only more and more advanced tutoring materials and thicker and thicker exercise books."

"...Although it is human nature to hope that your child will become a dragon, your parents have gone too far."

Xi Nian snorted coldly: "They didn't expect me to be Jackie Chan, they just didn't want me to embarrass them... It's a pity that I finally embarrassed them."

Although he said it was a pity, his tone was full of sarcasm.

Jin Chao suddenly realized that Xi Nian might have some conflicts with his family...

After thinking of this, the details of the past also surfaced one by one, vying to confirm his thoughts for him——

For example, he never heard Xi Nian mention his family.

For another example, whether he was in the youth training camp or now in the FL team, he has never seen Xi Nian come home...

A pair of wide palms crossed the table and covered his hands which were still a little cold even though they were in June, and the cold fingertips were absorbed into the center of the warm palm, so comfortable that one couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Don't be ashamed," Jin Chao stared at Xi Nian's pupils, his tone was rare and solemn, "Although I don't know what conflicts exist between you and your parents, but—"

"Xi Nian, you will be their pride, and you will also be the pride of LPL and even China in the future, especially..."

"My eternal pride."
