MTL - As a Captain, You Must Be Cold-Chapter 12
At noon the next day, the internet-addicted teenagers got up one after another. R.H's players had just finished replaying yesterday's training match. When they saw Shi Du come down, they asked him to have lunch with him.
For lunch, I ordered takeaway, because there were customers, and Lao Tan still ordered a double-serving pizza. The dining table was not big, and the boys huddled together to eat, only Yu Zhaohan had a seat vacant.
Shi Du took a piece of pizza and sat down beside Yu Zhaohan: "Shine, something happened yesterday."
Yu Zhaohan was very calm: "I know."
"you know?"
Old Tan said: "The other side told us. It's okay, it's a trivial matter, we are used to it."
Shi Du was a little confused: "Are you all used to it?"
Qi Xian squinted his eyebrows and admired the beauty of his captain in the afternoon sun: "Who gave us a beautiful captain? Fans will go crazy if there is a little trouble. Last year, when Cheese got off the car, his feet slipped. The captain I gave him a hand, but from a certain angle, the pose was a bit ambiguous, the photo was taken and posted online, and the fans howled for several days."
When Cheese thought of this, he became angry: "They said that my appearance is not worthy of the captain."
Shi Du thought back to yesterday's comment, and told him honestly, "It seems like no one said that about me."
Cheese choked up, eyes complaining: "No one asked you, thank you."
Shi Du smiled: "I'm not the first one."
Old Tan said firmly, "It's definitely not the last one."
The topic became more and more off topic, Yu Zhaohan showed the majesty of a parent: "When eating, don't talk too much."
It is also very simple to clarify, everyone knows that R.H and IPL have a good relationship, and it is normal for players to hang out with each other. Besides, it wasn't Shi Du who came to the R.H base this time, Xu was also there. Lao Tan took a group photo while everyone was having lunch and posted it on Weibo, with the text: [Welcome IPLTimeless, IPLXu come to R.H for a guest exchange! Timeless, don’t forget to return our captain’s charger [doge][doge]]
Shi Du experienced life at the R.H base for a day. On the second day, all R.H members and Xu went to worship Wanfeng, and he followed suit.
It was raining lightly in Shanghai, and there were seven of them, driving Yu Zhaohan's car just in time. Yu Zhaohan's car is a seven-seater SUV, classic and pure black, calm and elegant, just like himself.
Shi Du sat in the co-pilot because his legs were too long. He put on his seat belt and said, "Shine, how old are you?"
Sitting behind, Cheese hurriedly replied: "The captain is the same age as me, nineteen years old this year."
"Then why did you buy such a business car, like my dad's?"
One sentence revealed Yu Zhaohan's old wounds of adulthood. When he bought a car, he didn't like this car at all. When he paid the full price, he felt as if he was getting a license from someone he didn't like. He very much agrees with Shi Du's statement that driving this car can make him look twenty years older, but he never admits it.
Yu Zhaohan started the car expressionlessly: "Too much, Timeless."
Cheese said: "Huh? I think this car matches the captain's temperament very well."
Shi Du looked at Yu Zhaohan.
Yu Zhaohan stared ahead, and the hand that is usually used to type the keyboard and hold the mouse is holding the steering wheel, which is another pleasing aesthetic feeling. The rain was pattering down, sliding down the car windows from top to bottom. In the not-so-bright environment, his profile looked even colder and gloomy.
Shi Du withdrew his gaze and said absent-mindedly, "That's sort of it."
The cemetery is deserted on weekdays. After getting out of the car, they held umbrellas in groups of two and shuttled through layers of black and white. Yu Zhaohan and Lu Youshan walked in front, Yu Zhaohan was holding a black umbrella with a wooden handle, and Lu Youshan was holding a bouquet of pure white lilies in his hand.
Shi Du and Xu were at the end of the line. Shi Du asked, "Wanfeng, what kind of person is he?"
Xu scratched his head and said, "When I joined R.H, Wan Feng was already ill. I didn't have much contact with him, but every time we met, he always looked very happy. I think he should be a He was born in e-sports. He spent all his time building the R.H team and put all his own money into it. I heard from Lao Tan that Wanfeng was originally unwilling to be treated and wanted to leave the money to the club, but he and Lu The coach scolded severely..."
After walking for twenty minutes, Lu Youshan stopped: "Here we are."
Shi Du looked over and saw a picture of a young man on a tombstone. This photo should have been taken when Wan Feng was in good health. With a chubby face, ordinary facial features, and a row of white teeth when he smiled, it gave people a sense of deja vu.
On both sides of the photo are the year of Wanfeng's birth and death, and an epitaph: [Is the nanny resurrected? Nevermind】
Wan Feng was only twenty-five years old when he died of illness.
The usual giggling and boisterous boys were silent at the moment. They wore uniform R.H team uniforms and stood in a row in front of the tombstone. Lu Youshan presented lilies; Lao Tan cleaned up the fallen leaves around him and chattered: "This year R.H left a lot of people, and also changed bases. Only Lao Lu is left on the coaching team, and we only won the top eight. Wings also left. But he's going to be a dad soon, which is a good thing..."
The people in the photos are smiling all the time, as if they are telling them: No matter how big a problem is, it will pass.
Yu Zhaohan recalled the tone of the former captain, inexplicably wanting to laugh.
It's nothing to be sad about. They were so uncomfortable two years ago, now Wanfeng should want to see them laughing with him even more.
"Captain," Cheese called softly, "Look."
I don’t know when there was an extra umbrella not far away, and under the umbrella stood a boy wearing fireworks and wearing American style—it was their former teammate, and he was currently playing the long gun in the lawman Tidal.
Everyone saw Chao Chao, but no one said anything, only Qi Xian greeted Chao Chao with a smile: "Oh, Chao Chao, you are back."
Chao Chao held a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and smiled a little ruffian: "Qi Xian, you are still the same."
Qi Xian looked Chao Chao up and down: "You seem to be thinner than in the finals, aren't you used to eating in Los Angeles?"
"You still have the face to come here," Lu Youshan gritted his teeth, "R.H doesn't welcome you."
"Why can't I come?" Chao Chao said slowly, "Wan Feng was also my captain."
"you-"
Lao Tan stopped Lu Youshan: "Forget about Lao Lu, your family didn't open the cemetery, why can't the tide come here?"
Lu Youshan pointed to the tide, his eyes were red: "Do you think Wanfeng would like to see him?"
The scene was deadlocked, and everyone looked at Yu Zhaohan in unison, waiting for him to speak. Yu Zhaohan said: "Yes."
Chao Chao twitched the corner of his mouth, put down the flowers in front of the tombstone, got up and looked directly at Yu Zhaohan, with blurred eyes: "Today's captain is also very beautiful."
Yu Zhaohan said, "I'm not your captain now."
"OK, Shine." Tidal changed his words, "Is there time later? I want to play solo with you again. Same as before, sniper 1v1."
Yu Zhaohan stared at Chao Chao's hairstyle, only thinking that it was ugly enough, and Chao Chao might still think he was quite handsome. "Yes," Yu Zhaohan said, "find an Internet cafe."
At this time, an outsider suddenly said: "Can I not go to the Internet cafe? Isn't my base not popular?"
Yu Zhaohan frowned: "Is there any business for you here?"
Shi Du looked innocent: "Then what should I do, Shine, minors are not allowed to enter Internet cafes."
Yu Zhaohan: "..."
It's so annoying, why make him laugh at such a serious time! He almost didn't hold back! If he dies because of the collapse of the society, he must be the first to seek Shidu and ask for his life if he becomes a ghost.
In the end, they went to a familiar Internet cafe and opened a private room for multiple people. The underage brother was ruthlessly "abandoned" in the water bar, and could only watch the live broadcast on Xu's mobile phone.
Sniper solo is the most popular gameplay for gun players. There are only two snipers on the map, and only headshots can cause damage. In a game of three minutes, whoever has the most heads wins.
Solo begins. The tide came out of the resurrection point and turned in a grappling hook skill first. The sharp iron hook was inserted into the wall, and the sniper took off with the help of it, and his field of vision instantly became wider. He saw Yu Zhaohan's figure, and Yu Zhaohan was at the door of the resurrection point. He is condescending and has an absolute advantage.
Tidal pulled the trigger in mid-air without any hesitation.
Ding-
【R.HShine defeated lawmantide】
Tide suddenly opened his eyes wide, watching his hero fall from a high altitude, and the screen turned gray.
Lu Youshan sneered unceremoniously.
Yu Zhaohan changed a bullet, and said calmly, "Your habit of taking off with the hook as soon as you go out is still the same."
solo continues. Yu Zhaohan impatiently walked around the map with Tide, and took the initiative to expose himself. He jumped off the high platform, Tidal heard the sound of his landing footsteps, turned around abruptly, and opened his mirror for a moment. This time, he took action before Yu Zhaohan.
boom-
The tide hit Yu Zhaohan's body, not in the headshot judgment area, and the damage was invalid. Yu Zhaohan then pulled the trigger—
【R.HShine defeated lawmantide】
Sweat broke out on Tide's forehead. Obviously he has already defeated R.H in the eight-to-four knockout round, and obviously he has won this year's championship, but when he faced Yu Zhaohan alone, he was still as oppressed as when he first played professionally , as if there were countless pairs of eyes hiding in the dark, staring at him, looking for an opportunity to kill him with one blow.
Tidal wiped off his sweat, and struggled to utter two words: "Come again."
Lu Youshan shook his head, it was no longer necessary.
Snipers often test their mentality more than other positions, and if their mentality is unstable, they will feel bad. The tide has lost.
For three full minutes, Tide succeeded only once, and the score finally ended with a big score of 7:1. Cheese whispered: "I'm a nanny, and if I'm lucky with the captain, I can get a point."
Chao Chao's face was pale, and his chest heaved violently due to unwillingness. He stared at the id on the screen, and double images appeared in his vision.
Yu Zhaohan's voice was indifferent: "You are not paying attention."
What is this, the consolation of charity?
Tide stood up abruptly and strode out.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the private room was not good, Qi Xian smiled and said, "Xu, shall we also play solo?"
"You guys play," Yu Zhaohan gave up the seat to Qi Xian, "I'll go buy water."
When Yu Zhaohan came to the water bar, he saw that Tide was pouring water, as if he was dying of thirst. He pretended not to see and walked past the tide.
"Captain." Chao Chao suddenly shouted, and the empty mineral water bottle was deformed by him, "I'm sorry for the transfer to Lawman."
Yu Zhaohan said: "I never blamed you, you don't need to apologize to me."
"You don't blame me?" Chao Chao sneered, "Then why did you...do this to me."
Yu Zhaohan was a little strange: "I treat everyone the same, don't I?"
Tide was at a loss for words for a moment. That's right, Yu Zhaohan has always been like this, beautiful and accurate, arrogant and indifferent, even Lao Tan, who has the best relationship with him, can't say a few words a day.
But he could clearly feel that Yu Zhaohan's attitude towards him had changed from the moment he took the initiative to contact Lawman and the transfer was successful.
He went to North America alone and became the only Chinese in Lawman. He couldn't speak Chinese, and he was ridiculed by Korean teammates in a strange way. He won the game and was greeted by some domestic players. He doesn't have any friends, training and games are all he has.
He has no regrets, he wants to win, he wants to win the championship, and he wants to stand on the top of the world. These are things that R.H cannot give him.
But sometimes he still feels lonely. He can't help but think, if Shine also transferred to Lawman, if he wasn't alone, if Shine was on his side...
"Come to the lawman, Shine." Chao Chao's eyes locked on Yu Zhaohan's face, "R.H is no longer good enough for you. The lawman has always wanted you. This time when I return to China, the manager also asked me to talk about you. .I know you care about Wanfeng. But Wanfeng brought you into the industry, trained you, and hoped that you would win the championship. As for whether you won the championship in R.H, does it matter?"
Yu Zhaohan said: "It's not important to you, but it is important to me."
"I don't understand." Chao Chao couldn't hide his excitement, "Winning in e-sports is the most important thing, don't you want to win?"
Yu Zhaohan said calmly: "I want to. But I want to win with my friends more. Is it hard to understand?"
Tide froze suddenly.
"I respect your choice, and you didn't feel sorry for R.H. Play the game well and don't think too much." Yu Zhaohan said coldly, "The golden period of a professional player is only a few years, and we must cherish it."
Chao Chao's eyes flickered slightly, he hesitated to speak, but in the end he still didn't say anything.
After the tide left, Yu Zhaohan came to the vending machine, and just as he raised his hand, he heard a voice: "Finished?"
Yu Zhaohan paused, pressed the Americano coffee button, turned around and saw Shi Du holding a cup of milk tea that had almost bottomed out, and asked involuntarily, "Do you like milk tea?"
"Yes," Shi Du admitted generously, "I like sweet drinks."
Damn, he likes it too. "Did you hear it just now?"
Shi Du raised his hand and scratched the lying silkworm under his eyes: "It seems to be."
Yu Zhaohan smiled and said: "I heard it, I heard it, 'like' something."
Shi Du was noncommittal. The two were leaning against the wall, one was drinking milk tea and the other was drinking coffee. Because of their outstanding appearance, even if they were wearing baseball caps in an Internet cafe with poor lighting, they still aroused frequent glances from passers-by.
"Shine," Shi Du's tone seemed to be casually chatting, "Do you have a good relationship with Wan Feng?"
Yu Zhaohan tightened his hand holding the can: "Wanfeng...just like my teacher."
In fact, there is nothing special about it. The Internet-addicted teenager was favored by professional clubs because of his long-term **** of the national server, and became a youth trainee of R.H. Like many people, his university professor parents were not optimistic about his career path, and repeatedly wanted to take him home. His captain, Wanfeng, only asked him one sentence: "Xiaoyu, are you sure you want to play professionally?"
Yu Zhaohan clearly remembered his answer: "I want to fight! I like to hear the ding-ding sound of headshots. I find it very refreshing. I feel like I can listen to it for the rest of my life! Captain, captain, help me..."
Wanfeng laughed when he heard the words. He didn't know how Wanfeng persuaded his parents, anyway, he stayed in R.H. After a long period of time, he followed Wanfeng and learned how to become a real professional player. Later, Wan Feng fell ill, so he could only learn by himself, learning to be a good captain.
"Before Wan Feng left, he entrusted R.H to me." Yu Zhaohan had a trace of confusion in his eyes, "He said that I would become a better captain than him."
But will he really?
He is so young, even now he is the youngest in the club, even Cheese is two months older than him. When he gnaws pig’s trotters, the oil will get on his clothes, and when he wears headphones, his earphones will hit his nose; he likes to be called Yuyu and brother, likes to eat sweets, and likes to cuddle with people; I can't help but call my mother, and cry when I watch sadomasochism romance dramas.
With him like this, can he really convince all R.H members to become a better R.H captain than Wanfeng?
He doesn't even trust himself.
Shi Du thought for a while and said, "Since you don't want to leave R.H, why don't you let R.H's current boss go?"
Yu Zhaohan let out a sneer, and the stinky brother who had never been beaten by the society said it lightly. He is very popular, has many fans, and has the highest headshot rate in the league, but in front of capital, he is nothing.
"I think I might be able to help you—I want to help you." Shi Du turned his face sideways and gave him a bright smile under the brim of his hat, "Give me a chance?"
Yu Zhaohan was taken aback for a moment, looked at Shi Du for two seconds, then lowered his eyes, and took a sip of coffee calmly.
It's over, I can't find the slot this time-it seems to be pretended by the stinky brother.
"What do you want to do?" Yu Zhaohan asked.
Shi Du answered irrelevantly: "So, you agreed. Let's have a toast first, to celebrate the cooperation?"
As Shi Du spoke, he raised the milk tea in his hand.
Yu Zhaohan mocked "childish", but still raised the coffee in his hand. While toasting, the fingertips of the two accidentally touched, and Shi Du suddenly put on a guilty and self-blaming expression: "Fucking Team Yu, I seem to have touched your hand just now."
Yu Zhaohan: "So?"
The corners of Shi Du's raised mouth clearly carried a hint of mischief: "Isn't Captain Yu a serious clean freak? I touched your hands, so you're going to wash your hands three times right away?"
"Five times." Yu Zhaohan said coldly, "I have to wash five times after being touched by you."
