Top Of Glory[Esports] Chapter 21

past events

“There are some differences between this year’s competition system and last year’s. The first regular round of the domestic division’s summer season consists of thirty teams and a BO3 points system. You should all be aware of this.”

In the first game of the regular season, it is Band’s turn at home in Linshi City Z.When it comes to cross-city competitions, FP participants set off to the Z city competition venue one morning in advance.

In the carriage, everyone who was woken up by Qiao Zhi from door to door early in the morning was without exception, trying to catch up on their sleep.

At this time, Lao Tao was still chattering about the schedule, “We will go to the hotel where we are staying to put our luggage first, and then go to the venue to report. If there is nothing else to do in the afternoon, we will find a place to train. There will be pre-match preparations and one or two interviews tomorrow morning. I will try not to disturb you.”

“Old Tao…” Fade, who was closest to him, was half asleep. He took a pillow and put it on his head, “I beg you not to disturb my sleep now…”

Qiao Zhi also felt strange, “Why are you nagging today? It’s not your first time to participate in the summer competition. Are you still nervous?”

“But this is the first time for us to have this lineup, so it’s inevitable that I’m a little excited… I didn’t even sleep well yesterday.”

“Although I’m not particularly good at games, Band is not a first-line team. There is a gap in strength, and we won’t be able to do it.” Qiao Zhi said with relief.

“What are you talking about? Are you crazy? Poisoning yourself before the game?” Fade was so noisy that his hair exploded. “You are so sure now, what if there is an accidental diving during the game?”

“What if one of us gets sick, allergic, or hungry?” As soon as he opened his crow’s mouth, almost everyone’s eyes opened.

Lay’s face was full of solemnity, and his face was filled with the solemn look of death for those who tried to stop me.

Coco responded slowly, “We still have a substitute, let He Chen come on.”

“What if Hechen also has an accident? His hand is broken and he is hospitalized?” Fade continued to dig holes without fear of death.

“Thank you on his behalf. I’m overthinking it.” Lin An’s voice interrupted.

Fade was forced to join their discussion. He couldn’t sleep at all now, “…I’ll sit with you next time I go out. I’m a dog.”

Unwilling to give up, he asked about the ride and wanted to continue squinting for a while, so he hugged the pillow and squinted around the car, trying to change seats, but was pricked in the eye by the back seat.

“Ah, why?”

He Chen and Lin An were sitting in the back row, and no one paid much attention to them.

When he first got in the car, He Chen was still sitting upright, but the back row was empty. When he turned a corner, Lin An’s shoulders sank, and He Chen’s head was already resting on his shoulder.

The warm breath sprayed on his skin, making it hot.

The person involved still felt a little uncomfortable, and his eyebrows were slightly twisted.

Lin An gently raised his head and placed it on his lap through the blanket, letting him lie half on the seat.

He Chen’s frown relaxed.

However, after sleeping for a while, the people in front of him started arguing again after disagreeing with each other. He Chen’s eyelids fluttered slightly and he turned sideways.

Lin An lowered his hands and covered his ears.

What Fade saw was this scene, and he said half-heartedly: “This person is treated so well. Not only can he lie down, but his ears are also covered and he is not allowed to talk.”

Lao Tao said to Fade, “You’re almost done. The game is coming, and the whole team has given you a run for its money.”

“Besides, are you competing with others?” Lao Tao was still a little embarrassed when he thought about it yesterday, “You have all finished training. He Chen finished training and was ranking in the training room alone. I saw that his account went offline at 3:30 this morning.”

Lay’s eyes suddenly opened again, and he glanced towards the back row unwilling to admit defeat.

Qiao Zhi patted him and warned him vigilantly: “You can’t compete with me. Do you really hear this? What will happen to me if I die suddenly while you two are competing?”

Lao Tao said: “Yes, I agree with the spirit, but it depends on the specific situation. I asked about it in the morning, and Xiaohe said that he won’t be playing this time, and it doesn’t matter if he practices a little longer.”

“So what’s wrong with people taking a little more rest? Shouldn’t they?”

“I should,” Fade said sincerely. “Manager Qiao is the slanderous one. I just imagined that my teammates were missing arms and legs, and you were directly trying to kill me. You were the loser.”

He Chen didn’t even know what was going on along the way.

He didn’t know what to rest his head on, and he fell into a deep sleep.

After a long while, he felt someone rubbing his head.

He Chen opened his eyes and was stunned for a few seconds when he met Lin An’s eyes.

“We’re almost there, wake up first.”

When Hechen climbed up from his lap, he didn’t know what he was doing for a moment.

Why did I sleep on Lin An’s lap?

Hechen’s heart was full of storms, lightning, and thunder.

After he got up, Lin An adjusted his posture, clasped his hands and rubbed his knuckles.

Lin An’s hands were beautiful, with wide palms, long fingers, and well-defined muscles.

Just looking at his hands, He Chen could think of how beautiful they looked flying across the keyboard.

But does Lin An’s hand hurt?Hechen suddenly thought of the common injuries among professional players, such as tenosynovitis and muscle strain, and he couldn’t help but frown.

“Does your hand hurt? Do you want to apply it?” He Chen asked him.

“What?” Lin An was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. He looked at He Chen’s hair that was pressed against his face and his dark eyes that looked a little confused after he woke up from his sleep. He laughed out loud.

“It’s just a little numb, no need for hot compress.” Lin An looked at him teasingly, taking advantage of He Chen’s confusion when he woke up, and deliberately moved closer to tease him.

“With this little strength, my hand won’t be injured. If you don’t believe me, you can try again in the future?”

He Chen blinked twice and finally realized why Lin An’s hands were numb. The warmth and touch of Lin An’s palms seemed to still be on his ears.

Hechen’s ears instantly turned red.

When he got off the car, Qiao Zhi looked at He Chen and suddenly said “Hey”, “Isn’t the air conditioning in the car not enough? Or is it hot from sleeping? Why are your ears so red?”

He Chen put on his hat, ignored anyone, took out his luggage and entered the hotel lobby in advance.

Two red ears are half hidden in the hair.

Lin An walked behind him, the corners of his lips raised.

Qiao Zhi was confused and pulled Lin An, “Isn’t he good with you? What’s wrong? Why don’t you bully others just because you think they are honest?”

No matter what Qiao Zhi said, Lin An didn’t explain. Qiao Zhi had no choice but to warn him again, then collected everyone’s ID cards and went to check in with the staff.

“Qiao Zhi is such a worried person and does everything by himself. It’s no wonder that he sees the sky in a strange mood.” Lao Tao sighed with emotion.

“Yeah, I think other team managers don’t seem to care about these trivial things. Assistants can do many things. Why does Qiao Qiao have to do it by himself?” Fade took the opportunity to ask Lao Tao.

“It happened a long time ago. You hadn’t joined the team yet.” Old Tao was still a little scared when he thought about what happened back then. “Lin An and the others were young at that time, and they didn’t think so carefully about many things.”

“When we stayed at the hotel, we made reservations and checked in in advance. However, one time our hotel information was resold, and Lin An’s room was sneaked into Lin An’s room by a fanatic bastard fan. The guy also had a razor blade, and blood was seen at that time.”

He Chen’s eyes swept over silently.

Lin An smiled helplessly and said something to lighten the mood, “It’s not that exaggerated. It sounded like I had a punctured intestine and lungs. In fact, it was just a scratch. The security guard came up quickly.”

“That’s because you reacted quickly.” When Lao Tao mentioned this, he subconsciously felt for a cigarette in his pocket. “If you hadn’t dodged quickly and blocked it with your arm, the knife would have cut your eye.”

“Is this too much?!” Fade looked in disbelief. “I thought they were following people in cars and secretly photographing other people’s private parts. This is already very annoying behavior. Isn’t it illegal to squat on someone with a blade?”

Venus leaned on the box and sighed, “That’s the truth, but we are also public figures after all, and if we want to protect our rights, we have to consider public opinion. After calling the police, the man was detained for a few days, but in the end the matter was settled.”

Lao Tao said: “After this incident, Qiao Zhi strictly investigated the internal personnel, and later found out that a life assistant had received money to leak our whereabouts, and the bastard went to the hotel in advance to check in. In short, from then on, Qiao Zhi was extremely cautious when it came to outing activities. All staff members, no matter what part they were responsible for, had a supplementary confidentiality clause added to the contract, just to be afraid that something would happen to the players again.”

“What’s wrong with you guys today?” Lin An laughed. “The regular season officially starts tomorrow. Do you have to break some news today to upset everyone’s minds?”

“It’s not a bad thing to let everyone know in advance,” Lao Tao said: “Always have a sense of precaution and don’t take it seriously. Especially you, He Chen. You have just entered the industry and your mentality may not have changed yet. You must be careful. There are so many pairs of eyes staring at you now. If you are not careful, your behavior will be amplified…”

He Chen nodded obediently, but kept looking in Lin An’s direction.

Lin An was caught in his gaze and could feel his gaze falling on her arm.

Lin An was wearing a shirt today, and his arms were hidden in the sleeves, so no skin could be seen.

But He Chen had the impression that there was a light white mark on the outside of Lin An’s arm.

That’s how it came about.

Lin An saw what was on his mind and walked over to tease him. Qiao Zhi just happened to have returned from completing the formalities and walked between the two of them.

“What’s the matter?” Lin An asked.

Qiao Zhidou was stunned, “What’s the matter? You ask me?”

Qiao Zhi’s good intentions were treated like a donkey, and he handed over a room card and said coldly: “We all know what you are. The old rules are that you have a room to yourself, and the other two people have a business suite.”

Lin An apologized and said, “…Thank you.” He helped Qiao Zhi get the room cards of other contestants.

When he reached Hechen, he found that his big eyes were staring at him with confusion.

Lin An was very familiar with this look.

It was exactly the same as when he asked himself about Chi Rui last time.

Sure enough, before Lin An spoke, He Chen asked first:

“Captain, what are you…?”

Lin An: “…”
