Top Of Glory[Esports] Chapter 22

Gossip

He Chen unexpectedly became interested in gossip.

After checking into the hotel, this was the third time I asked Lin An that question.

Lin An was annoyed, “I’m a human, can I still be a dog?”

“That’s not necessarily true.” He Chen followed him and said seriously, “I’m not surprised by what you are, ah——”

Lin An opened the door with the room key, pulled He Chen and pushed him into the room.

The room was dark with the curtains drawn.

He Chen was pulled by his arm and pushed against the door.

The door closed with a bang.

Lin An did not forget to put her arms behind his head to block the impact.

“Really want to know?”

Lin An’s hand pushed He Chen’s chin, and his knuckles lightly hooked the side of his face.

He Chen’s body trembled involuntarily, and he raised his hands, subconsciously trying to push him away.

Lin An came closer and pressed one leg against He Chen’s legs, his hands were surprisingly strong.

Hechen swallowed.

Lin An now felt a sense of oppression that was rare in the past. He Chen’s hand pushed on his shoulder, but he couldn’t push it away at all.

“Huh? Don’t you want to know?” Lin An pushed Hechen’s chin with his thumb, semi-forcing him to raise his head, until the distance between the two was only a palm’s length, each other’s warmth was intertwined, and their breathing could be heard.

Lin An got closer and closer, and the light woody fragrance became stronger and stronger, making He Chen dizzy. All he could see was Lin An’s pressed lips, his heart was beating like a drum, and he closed his eyes in self-defeat.

But the imaginary touch didn’t come.

The shackles on his body were released in an instant, and after a soft sound, the room lit up.

He Chen wanted to open his eyes but didn’t.

Lin An’s hands covered his eyes, blocking him from the sudden light.

“Do you still want to know? I don’t mind letting you experience it for yourself next time.” Lin An looked at the boy who was about to mature into a crayfish under his hands, and sighed to himself, he is still a child, neither light nor heavy.

Just when he wanted to let go, He Chen grabbed his arm.

Lin An wanted to let go this time, but he didn’t expect that his hand would be grasped tightly by He Chen’s hands.

He was stunned for a moment, then realized what He Chen was going to do, and his eyes suddenly softened.

He Chen carefully grabbed his arm and unbuttoned Lin An’s shirt cuffs with one hand.

The sleeves were rolled up inch by inch, and the white mark was exposed inch by inch.

Hechen’s fingertips lightly traced the long and slender mark, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes unconsciously.

“Does it hurt?”

Lin An knew that he was not asking now, but at that time.

He thought for a moment and smiled nonchalantly: “It hurts.”

“I was barely two years older than you are now, and I was also impulsive at that age, which gave Old Tao a lot of headaches.”

“The previous team manager couldn’t control me, so the headquarters sent Qiao Zhi here. As a result, this happened just a few months after he took over.”

Lin An felt a little sad when he thought about the bastard things he did back then, “I feel sorry for Manager Qiao. At that time, he was busy appeasing the fans and calling the police to deal with the illegitimate child. He didn’t catch it at a glance and was asked about it in the interview before the game…”

He Chen instantly sympathized with Qiao Zhi: “…What did you say?”

Lin An: “I said…”

19-year-old Lin An sneered at the long gun and short gun: “Why should I apologize? The people who should apologize are those who hurt others regardless of their own safety and the safety of others. It’s not that I am a fan, but that this kind of person unfortunately is my fan. The only thing I feel sorry for is the other fans in the circle who were affected by this incident and were labeled, not the passers-by who watched the fun.”

“It was so crazy at that time,” Lin An looked at He Chen and pursed his lips and smiled, and he also chuckled, “Now that I think about it, there are a lot of things that are unnecessary to say. It is true that I am worried about the safety of my fans. It is inevitable for public figures to be at the forefront… At that time, I only cared about my own pleasure, and Qiao Zhi had a lot of headaches trying to help me with public relations.”

“So there’s no need for you to feel sorry for me,” Lin An scratched the back of his hand, “I don’t tolerate anger. But you…”

There was a knock on the door suddenly, and Qiao Zhi’s voice came in.

“Lin An? Are you okay? The reporters over there are already waiting.”

Hearing Qiao Zhi’s voice, He Chen immediately took a step back.

“Wait a minute, I’ll put on a team uniform.”

“I have to ask for invitations for interviews before the game…” Qiao Zhi muttered outside the door, but the door suddenly opened, scaring him into silence.

The person who came out was not Lin An, but He Chen wearing a hat.

Qiao Zhi: “…You scare people to death.”

“Sorry.” He Chen ran back to his room without raising his head.

Qiao Zhi entered the room, pushed the door open with his backhand, looked at Lin An who was putting on his team uniform and wondered: “If he doesn’t go back to his room to rest, why is he in your room?”

Lin An didn’t even bother to say it. If it weren’t for Lao Tao and Qiao Zhi’s sudden manipulation, would he have needed to bring the person back to coax him?

“Something’s wrong, something’s wrong with your state…” Qiao Zhi looked at him suspiciously, “Are you a little too nice to He Chen?”

“Sending notes, picking up and dropping off training, letting him sleep on your legs…” The more Qiao Zhi said, the more he felt something was wrong, “Are you…”

“Yes.” Lin An pulled the zipper down to his neck with a swipe, “Now that the gossip is over, can we get down to business?”

Qiao Zhi: “…”

This bitch admitted it so quickly that he didn’t even know how to answer it.

The next day, Qiao Zhi yawned and took the staff to the hotel conference room that was temporarily rented as a lounge to wait for the players to get ready and go downstairs. As soon as he entered, he found that someone was already waiting inside.

“Hechen?” Qiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, “If you don’t play today, why don’t you take a rest?”

He Chen was watching previous practice match videos on his mobile phone, stopping from time to time to drag the progress bar and write some text on his notes.

Hearing Qiao Zhi’s voice, He Chen nodded towards him, “Morning.”

“I can’t always control this character’s skills well, so I want to take a look again.”

Qiao Zhi glanced at it. He still had an impression of this exercise. He remembered what Lao Tao said, “It doesn’t matter if you can’t catch up with Lin An. Lin An is too fast. Most assistants can’t keep up with his progress… The black-robed priest’s skill control requirements are also high. The starlight of the scepter must stay on the character for more than 1 second before it can be successfully cast…”

He Chen lowered his eyelashes and suddenly asked Qiao Zhi: “Can Chi Rui do it?”

“Uh…” Qiao Zhi thought about it for a moment and had to admit, “He can indeed do it…”

“But Chi Rui and Lin An both debuted in FP. They have been working together for more than two years. It is inevitable to have a tacit understanding. What you can do now is already beyond the reach of many players,” Qiao Zhi said sincerely: “Don’t put too much pressure on. You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry.”

“Yes.” He Chen nodded, but the hand holding the notebook was stronger.

Qiao Zhi saw the peripheral bag in his hand, “You also use this brand of bag. It’s quite generous. Lin An seems to have the same model…”

After Qiao Zhi finished speaking, he realized that it was the same style as Lin An, and these 80% were gifts from Lin An.

“Is this expensive?” He Chen grabbed it doubtfully. Didn’t Lin An say he bought the keyboard as a gift?

“Haha…” Qiao Zhi didn’t dare to spill the beans and could only laugh, “We also have cooperation with this brand, maybe there are gifts.”

He Chen didn’t ask any more questions.

As expected, there were no surprises in the match against Band.

The first game of the regular season ended successfully with 2:0, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lay’s condition is unexpectedly calm, and he doesn’t look like a rookie playing in the summer split for the first time.

“You’re just looking at a water dispenser, so you can’t be so serious about it, why don’t you relax a little?” Fade was so hot from playing that he lowered the temperature of the air conditioner as soon as he entered the lounge, only to see that He Chen had already helped Lao Tao sort out all the details of the game.

“Ah?” He Chen renamed the file according to the date, and then put it into a folder called regular season. “It’s easy things. I’m quite relaxed.”

Fade angrily said, “I finally understand why teachers like top students.”

“I would also like it if it were me.”

“Okay, hurry up and pack yourself up, say a few words and go back.” Qiao Zhi clapped his hands and urged everyone, “I have booked a hotel next to the base. Let’s go back and simply celebrate the good start.”

After a day of hard work, the players were all sleepy, and Lao Tao was not in a hurry to take them to review the game, so he let them sleep in the car.

He Chen was still energetic, checking his mobile phone to follow the developments of the competition group.

This FP showdown was not a fierce one and did not attract much attention. Instead, the first showdown in Group B was hotly discussed in the circle.

INVE versus TALE.

“Leo played really well. He is much more mature than he was in the practice matches.” Lao Tao lamented, “A typical competitive player, he gets stronger when he encounters a strong opponent. If Chi Rui hadn’t been so good, the result would have been hard to say.”

“It can only be said that the coordination between the jungler and Chi Rui is still not in place. If it were Lin An… this game would not end in this time.”

It’s Chi Rui again.

He Chen actually didn’t hate him. He was able to play a practice match with the FP players by mistake at first, and he was imitating Chi Rui.

But this name appears too frequently in the team.

Especially when it comes to Lin An.

He Chen didn’t know what the inexplicable emotions in his heart were for, but he was just a little concerned – are tacit understanding and experiences really engraved in the years and cannot be erased?

He Chen silently opened the social media platform, and by chance, he once again came across the super message that Lin An had blocked, and accidentally clicked in again.

Lin An took a nap for a while, and when he woke up, the first thing he saw was He Chen, who was sitting next to him with his head hanging down, scrolling through his phone.

The bright light of the mobile phone screen reflected his clear outline, and Lin An’s heart softened when he saw it.

Hechen noticed his gaze and turned his head, with a bit of stubbornness in his dark eyes.

“Captain…”

“Huh?” Lin An moved closer to him until their arms were touching.

“Do you like someone who can be annoying?”

Lin An’s first reaction was that he heard wrongly.

“What do I like?”

He Chen showed his phone to Lin An. On it was a fan comic of Lin An and Chi Rui.

Lin An took a deep breath, feeling that the child would become useless if he didn’t care about it anymore.

But the next second, he heard He Chen say: “…I actually have quite a personality.”
