Chapter 232 It's Spring Festival again

After the twelve season, the major teams took a break for a few days and then set off for Nanjing to participate in this year's T.G.A Winter Grand Prix. Of course, this event has nothing to do with the Longyin team. After Liu Chuan led the team back to Changsha, he let the players enter a nightmare pre-match training mode. As the captain, he will naturally pay attention to the t.g.a event, mainly to see if there are any new players worth paying attention to in the major teams.

After the half-month T.g.a Grand Prix, all the major teams had a long holiday, and all the professional players went home to accompany their families. The league entered the winter offseason again, but the Dragon Roar Team was still in full swing.

The training intensity during this period was quite high. Liu Chuan conducted targeted intensive training according to the weaknesses of several team members, practiced repeatedly, and continued to practice conditioned reflexes. Ten hours of monotonous training every day made everyone feel very hard. However, the competition was approaching, and the three great masters were used as sparring training for them, and the newcomers were embarrassed to have any complaints.

It was soon the end of the New Year. On the 29th day of the 12th lunar month, Liu Chuan asked everyone to disband and go home. Several people packed their luggage and prepared to go back for the New Year. Jiang Xue booked the air tickets in advance. As the team leader, Jiang Xue took all the chores of the team and let the team members train without any distractions. Liu Chuan was full of gratitude to this responsible girl. Jiang Xue did share a lot of pressure for him, the captain.

The other team members were going home for the New Year, but Xu Ce did not ask Jiang Xue to book tickets for him, saying that he wanted to stay.

Lan Weiran patted Xu Ce's right shoulder and said, "Then you can celebrate the New Year with Jojo."

Liu Chuan patted Xu Ce's left shoulder again and said, "Your son is so well-behaved, please stay with the team to accompany it, and let us take care of the house."

Xu Ce: "..."

Damn! Do you treat me like a big dog and keep it for you to keep a look? Also, when did jojo become my son?!

Xu Ce and jojo looked at each other, and the latter shook his tail innocently. Xu Ce patted its head and said depressedly: "Anyway, I don't want to go back, so I'll stay in the team for the New Year. I'll gather soon after the New Year. I'll be in trouble. I'll be in trouble back and forth."

The reason why Xu Ce doesn't want to go back to his home in Shanghai is because there is no one at home in Shanghai. His parents are abroad and have been traveling abroad recently. Xu Ce doesn't want to go abroad. In addition, it's really troublesome to hold it back and forth with Jojo, so it's better to stay in the team and celebrate the New Year with Jojo.

It's just a few days of vacation, and Xu Ce is too lazy to go back and forth.

Liu Chuan and Wu Zewen returned to Beijing together that afternoon. In Room 303, Jiang Shaoqing was about to go out with his luggage when he saw Xu Ce holding his big dog watching TV in the empty room, and couldn't help but say, "Are you really planning to celebrate the New Year alone in the team?"

Xu Ce said "um" in a depressed mood, and even jojo lowered his head, as if he had been abandoned.

Jiang Shaoqing felt soft and couldn't help but say, "Why go to my house, my house is close to here and you will arrive in an hour."

After saying that, both of them were stunned.

Xu Ce looked at him with shock, and Jiang Shaoqing blushed even more awkwardly - Damn, how could he make such an invitation?!

The teammates all left. Seeing Xu Ce and Jojo's pitiful look, Jiang Shaoqing felt soft-hearted and thought that every household would have to have a New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve, and Xu Ce lived alone with Dagou in the team. This was so pitiful... Since his parents were not in China and he didn't want to go back to Shanghai, why not ask him to go home for a New Year's Eve dinner together?

Such an impulse burst out without careful consideration, and it was too late to take it back...

Xu Ce immediately stood up and said, "It's great, then I'll go to your house for a New Year's Eve dinner."

Then the man went back to the room to pack his luggage. In a blink of an eye, he packed up and changed his clothes. He stood in front of Jiang Shaoqing with jojo. The owner and the big dog both looked like "Take me away quickly."

Jiang Shaoqing, who was struggling to get off the tiger, had no choice but to bring Xu Ce and jojo home together.

The city where Shaoqing's family is located is only an hour's drive from Changsha. Xu Ce's impression of this place was very vague. His uncle's house was here before. He was thrown here by his parents in high school and studied for three years. He was not familiar with this place because he was rebellious and did his own thing. He rarely went out to play with his peers. He only acted at the two-point and one-line area of ​​the school where his second uncle's house was, and he had no idea about other places.

On the way along the street to the community with Jiang Shaoqing, Xu Ce couldn't help but say, "There are a lot of changes here."

Jiang Shaoqing said: "Yes."

Xu Ce walked to the entrance of the community, looked around, and felt very familiar, and said, "I saved that dog back then, it seems that it was here, right?"

Jiang Shaoqing nodded.

So, the first time I kissed you, it must be here...

Xu Ce did not say this, but he just missed the days of high school. Jiang Shaoqing's heartbeat suddenly became faster. He didn't think that he and Xu Ce would have a relationship that surpassed their classmates before, but when he was revisiting the old place, he was surprised to find that the past was deeply imprinted in his mind. Xu Ce's sense of existence was so strong that Jiang Shaoqing remembered everything about Xu Ce very clearly...

Do you also like Xu Ce a little? Otherwise, why would you remember so clearly?

The more Jiang Shaoqing thought about it, the more frightened he became. His head was in a mess and he walked forward silently. Xu Ce led jojo and followed Jiang Shaoqing obediently without making noise. Xu Ce, who came to visit the door, was very self-aware - he must not make his master angry, otherwise he would be miserable if Shaoqing drove him to sleep on the street.

The two of them arrived home soon. Jiang Shaoqing opened the door. A gentle woman came out of the kitchen with an apron. When she saw her son, who was tall and handsome and holding a big dog, she said in surprise: "Shaoqing, is this?"

Jiang Shaoqing hurriedly introduced: "Mom, he is Xu Ce, a teammate of our team. His parents are not in China. He wants to stay in Changsha for the New Year alone. I will take him home for the New Year's Eve dinner..."

Mother Jiang smiled and said, "So that's the case, come in quickly."

After entering the house, Xu Ce actively stepped forward, handed over the gift he had bought with both hands, and said with a smile: "Hello, auntie! I am Shaoqing's teammate and his high school deskmate, I wish you a happy new year!"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shaoqing would ask him to go home, so he bought New Year's greeting gifts only after arriving at the station.

Mother Jiang took it and said with a smile: "You are Xu Ce? I remember your name. Shaoqing used to mention you to me. To be honest, his grades improved so quickly in high school, thanks to your deskmate."

Xu Ce looked back at Jiang Shaoqing in surprise, and Jiang Shaoqing said awkwardly: "Mom, stop talking, let's have a meal first."

Jiang Shaoqing often mentioned Xu Ce in front of his parents. It was indeed because Xu Ce often explained various complex questions to him in high school. His grades improved so quickly, Xu Ce's contribution was naturally the greatest. He just mentioned his deskmate who was helpful to him very often, but when he met Xu Ce's surprised gaze, Jiang Shaoqing suddenly felt guilty.

Jiang Shaoqing's parents are both working-class people, and their tempers are particularly gentle. No wonder Jiang Shaoqing is so soft-hearted. It is obviously influenced by kind parents. Jiang Shaoqing is introverted and has not many friends at home. This time he took Xu Ce home for the New Year, and the two elders are naturally very enthusiastic about their son's high school deskmate. Moreover, the beautiful jojo is also very fond of him. He rubs his big furry head constantly with his mother's palm. Shaoqing's mother kept laughing and praised jojo for being majestic.

After a happy dinner, Jiang Shaoqing was called by his father to ask questions. His father was obviously a little worried and frowned and said, "I heard your mother say you have resigned and played what kind of game you are playing? You are not young anymore, don't be so impulsive anymore."

Jiang Shaoqing said: "Dad, I'm not impulsive. I want to be a professional player. We have already played the city competition and become a formal registered team. I have also signed a contract and I will have a fixed salary every month."

Xu Ce also spoke to Jiang Shaoqing: "Uncle, don't worry, Shaoqing now has 10% of the team club shares. Even if he can't play games in two years, he can continue to stay in the club as a management. You can just think that we are doing business together."

Dad Jiang said in confusion: "Can your club still make money?"

Xu Ce said: "Of course, the advertising sponsorship fee is now nearly 10 million, and it will get better and better in the future."

With Xu Ce's promise, Dad Jiang felt relieved and nodded with a smile: "That's good. I don't know anything about doing business at all, and I don't pay attention to e-sports competitions. You young people know what they know, do it well."

Jiang Shaoqing nodded seriously: "Don't worry, dad."

The next day was New Year's Eve. Shaoqing's parents started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner at noon. Xu Ce was very attentive to help Shaoqing's mother wash vegetables and cut vegetables. Shaoqing's mother was responsible for chopping meat fillings. Jiang Shaoqing made dumplings with his father. Jojo wagged his tail and ran around in the living room. The Spring Festival entertainment program was broadcasting on the TV. The warm and joyful atmosphere looked like a family.

Jiang Shaoqing looked at Xu Ce's busy figure back and forth, and couldn't help feeling a little sour in his heart. The eldest young master Xu Ce probably had never done much housework since he was a child. Jiang Shaoqing knew exactly what he was doing in front of his parents.

But... can they really be together? Jiang Shaoqing has no idea about this problem.

The supper was very sumptuous, and several people ate around the table while watching the party. Jiang Shaoqing's parents didn't want to watch it anymore and went back to bed early, but Xu Ce and Jiang Shaoqing continued to stay in the living room, preparing to stay up to the early morning.

The Q group of Longyin Team was constantly browsing news. The group of people used their mobile phones to turn on QQ and exploded their hand speeds, and they were all comments about the party. Xiao Yu and Li Xiang were the main players of complaints, Lin Tong and Wu Zewen were calm and watched the show, and Liu Chuan said something irrefutable from time to time. Qin Ye’s comments were extremely sharp, Si Lan was still so lazy, and she was too lazy to type and added a sentence “Agree!” “Line lined up” “Add one!” “Yes!”

During the Spring Festival Gala for a few hours, the chat records of the Longyin Team QQ group actually exceeded 10,000, which shows how strong these people are in blowing water when they are bored.

Xu Ce said: "It's okay, Alaska dogs are very cold-resistant animals. You usually wear clothes for the dog when you walk it, spoil it."

Jojo shook his tail and agreed, and Jiang Shaoqing had to lead it out together.

In the early morning, it is another special day like the Spring Festival. There is no pedestrian on the street, which is very empty and quiet. Two people walk shoulder to shoulder on the road, followed by a majestic big dog. The night sky above their heads is the colorful and dazzling fireworks that welcome the arrival of the New Year.

Xu Ce stopped outside the community and whispered: "Shaoqing, do you still remember that the day you invited me home for dinner after the monthly exam was over, you took me to the entrance of the community and saw the poor stray dog..."

Jiang Shaoqing searched for that memory in his mind and quickly recalled it. The street lights that night were so soft. Xu Ce squatted down to feed the puppy, and he also leaned forward to touch the puppy's head. Then, Xu Ce turned around and kissed him...

Xu Ce seemed to have fallen into memories, his eyes becoming very gentle: "...That was the first time I kissed you. I was too young and too nervous at that time, so I didn't dare to say it at all, and I was afraid of affecting your studies, so I secretly hid this feeling in my heart."

Jiang Shaoqing turned around in surprise and suddenly bumped into a pair of dark and deep eyes.

Xu Ce looked at him and said word by word: "Shaoqing, I tell you this, not to force you to respond, I just want you to know that there is a person who has been liked you for so many years."

A cluster of fireworks suddenly exploded in the night sky above my head with a "bang". The dazzling colors splashed in the air, as if at that moment, Xu Ce's voice exploded in his ears like thunder. The vibration surging in the deepest part of his heart completely shattered the originally hard line of defense...

——There is such a person who has been liked you for so many years...

What was that feeling? Jiang Shaoqing looked at the man in front of him with serious expressions, his spine trembled slightly, and he couldn't say a word.

Xu Ce possessed him and stopped at an inch from his lips. The two people's faces were close to each other and their noses were close to each other. On the cold winter night, the warm breath that exhaled was like a cloud of clouds and mist, blending with each other.

After a while, seeing that Jiang Shaoqing did not hide, Xu Ce leaned forward and gently kissed him.

Jiang Shaoqing stood there stiffly, his lips trembling slightly. Xu Ce pried open his teeth and gently poked his tongue in. The gentle kiss seemed to soothe his emotions. The flexible tongue slowly swept across the teeth, slid across the gums, leaving Xu Ce's breath everywhere in his mouth...

Jiang Shaoqing only felt a blank in his mind and could not make the simple action of "pushing him away"... Xu Ce's kiss was too gentle, gentle... as if he was kissing his most cherished treasure...

After the kiss, Xu Ce retreated and said softly: "Shaoqing, I like you."

"..." Jiang Shaoqing came back to his senses, met Xu Ce's eyes, and immediately looked away in panic. He turned around but found that jojo had been lying obediently beside him, waving his tail and looking at them curiously. Jiang Shaoqing's face turned red in an instant, and he hurriedly held jojo and said, "Go back."

Looking at Jiang Shaoqing's back as he fled in panic, Xu Ce couldn't help but touch his lips, and thought excitedly - Shaoqing didn't push him away at all, that is to say, Shaoqing didn't dislike him, and could even accept such intimate contact?! What is the answer, do you still need to ask?

Xu Ce was in such a great mood that when he received a text message from Liu Chuan, "Happy New Year, Good Luck!", he rarely complained. If the captain sent a text message to harass him just now, Xu Ce would definitely want to peel Liu Chuan's skin. Fortunately, Liu Chuan's text message was delayed for five minutes due to the delay in the peak communication, which happened to be the time when Xu Ce confessed to Jiang Shaoqing.

Xu Ce replied in a good mood: "Captain, you are lucky."

After taking back his phone, he took a deep breath of the cold air in winter, and Xu Ce's mouth finally couldn't help but raise his mouth happily.

——This is really a "good luck" Spring Festival!

Chapter 234, Preparation Meeting for the Thirteenth Season

According to Liu Chuan's plan, the Spring Festival holiday for the team members will last until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. However, the official updates the equipment every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Everyone obviously couldn't help it. After discussing in the group, they would gather in the third day of the junior high school.

Liu Chuan routinely sent a red envelope to each of them and then began to arrange training plans.

At this time, professional players from other teams were still visiting relatives and friends at home, and the Dragon Roar Team gathered in advance, because compared with those teams that often train together on weekdays, their new team lacked experience. Before the 13th season arrives, they have to seize the time to get familiar with the situation of other teams.

The third and fourth place in the city tournament finally lost to the two teams that were eliminated in the league when competing for registration. In other words, this season, the only new private teams were Long Yin and Cang Lan, and the total of all teams was 18.

There is still half a month left before the opening ceremony of the 13th season in March. Liu Chuan asked everyone to watch videos in the morning and train as usual in the afternoon. The regular season games are usually arranged in the afternoon. The players' biological clocks are adjusted and it is easier to adapt to it.

The new training room has been renovated long ago, with a spacious and bright room, and the front desk is hung with the sign "Longyin E-sports Club". The handsome cursive font was of course written by Liu Chuan. The door is also covered with the logo of the Longyin Team. There are 4 rows of seats in the training hall, which can accommodate at least 50 people. The extra space is naturally reserved for the future expansion of the team size.

There is a large screen occupying the entire wall at the front of the seat, which can be directly connected to the laptop for easy video explanation.

Liu Chuan's mobile hard drive collects all the game videos from the first season to the twelfth season. This is undoubtedly the most precious learning material. Every morning, Liu Chuan will play some typical games for everyone on the big screen. He personally explained it next to him. After the explanation, he also asked everyone to share their experiences and learning experiences. Several newcomers also learned a lot from the video.

In addition, the official updated new suit also attracted the attention of professional players. Su Shilun complained that the five poisons' clothes were not good-looking, and others were more concerned about the matching of data. Fortunately, this year's new equipment can be directly exchanged with points, unlike last year's New Year beasts. A group of professional players abused each other for a few days in the arena, saved up enough points to change suits to see attributes. Liu Chuan also led the team to play several qualifying matches, asked Zewen to analyze the data and determine the equipment matching plan for each person.

Of course, the adjustment of specific equipment depends on the situation of the competition.
To be continued...
