MTL - As a Captain, You Must Be Cold-Chapter 19

Before Yu Zhaohan could wait for the netizen's reply, he heard the sound of the bathroom door opening. He instinctively hid the phone behind his back, and soon realized how stupid he was, found a game video, and watched it as if nothing had happened.

Shi Du forgot to bring his jacket into the bathroom, and when he came out he was only wearing sports trousers. He wiped his hair carelessly with a towel, and his eyelashes were stained with water: "The bathroom is ready for use."

The boy's arms were slender and powerful, and a small lump bulged when he lifted them up. He must have not dried his body properly, and there are still water droplets on his abdominal muscles. They are not muscles trained in the gym. They are naturally good-looking, and they are the unique contours and lines of teenagers.

Yu Zhaohan moved his eyes away from the drawstring on the waist of Shi Du's sports pants, and glanced at the time again: 23:58.

What should I do? Do you want to talk? If Cheese and the others were here, it would definitely not be his turn to speak, but he was the only one who was with Shi Du at zero o'clock.

What you say is what you want to say, the key is how to say it.

Yu Zhaohan listed Shi Du's good one by one in his heart. If it weren't for Shi Du, R.H wouldn't be able to get rid of the bad boss so easily. Shi Du called him "Brother Zhaohan" and treated him to chocolate milk and homemade milk greens. Shi Du is still handsome.

He really didn't want to just drop a "Happy Birthday" coldly and get it done. Any other birthday is fine, this is my eighteenth birthday. After today, Shi Du is no longer a minor brother. He can drink, don't have to sit at the children's table at dinner parties, he can also go to Internet cafes, get a room with his ID card, test his driver's license and drive... He will be an adult soon.

Yu Zhaohan remembered that his eighteenth birthday was celebrated by Lao Tan and the others in the club. There are cakes, gifts, and blessings. The only regret is that he no longer has a captain.

Wanfeng is his captain. And now, he is Shi Du's captain.

It's just a little softer and gentler, it shouldn't collapse the character design... right?

23:59. Shi Du wiped his hair half dry, and sat by the bed to deal with the overwhelming information. His mother even said that if he refused to go home to the birthday party, his inheritance rights would be revoked. He was so annoyed that he had to agree to fly back to Beijing as soon as the game ended tomorrow.

Shi Du opened the software to book a flight ticket. In the dark, a shadow was projected on the screen. He raised his head and saw Yu Zhaohan standing in front of him, hesitant to speak.

Shi Du raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Does Team Yu have any instructions?"

The light in the room is warm yellow, which seems to warm the eyebrows and eyes of the tall and cold beauty. Yu Zhaohan was wearing a pink team uniform and a white jacket. His limbs were stiff and his eyelids were drooping. From Shi Du's angle, he could see his eyelashes trembling slightly due to nervousness.

Shi Du heard Yu Zhaohan call his name.

The boy suddenly lost his mood for teasing. He vaguely felt something was wrong, and looked down at the heart rate on the dial: 120 beats.

"…Hold."

Yu Zhaohan was taken aback for a moment, his expression quickly turned cold, and there was an imperceptible sense of grievance hidden in his tone: "Why are you swearing?"

He finally made up his mind to softly send Shi Du birthday wishes, why did Shi Du scold him.

The boy who was about to become an adult in a few seconds was inexplicably flustered, like a primary school student who made his deskmate cry because of a prank: "I'm not, I'm not, I—"

Shi Du's words were drowned in a burst of "beeps". Cheese rushed into the room with the room card borrowed from the front desk in his hand, and shouted with a smile on his face: "Happy birthday, brother!"

It was midnight, Shi Du had come of age, and the unusual atmosphere dissipated in the new day.

Lao Tan, Lu Youshan, and Qi Xian rushed into the room after Cheese. Everyone had gifts in their hands, and the room became lively in an instant. Shi Du was surrounded by them: "No way, no way, didn't we agree that the game will be over after the game."

"Let's get through it first, and have a good time tomorrow. You can't let the zero o'clock of your eighteen years pass by so unremarkably." Cheese handed the gift to Shi Du, "Brother, come and unwrap the gift quickly. Ken tell me what he has prepared for you..."

Yu Zhaohan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it's good, it should be so lively, it's much better than he can't hold a fart for a long time.

There are only a few things that an Internet-addicted teenager can give. Cheese gave a keyboard, Qi Xian gave him earphones, and Lu Youshan gave him "Timeless Career Mistakes Collection" compiled by his painstaking efforts.

Lu Youshan told Shi Du: "As long as you watch it carefully and repeatedly, learn from it and correct it, you will be the next fmvp."

Qi Xian shook his head, and said sympathetically, "It's so miserable, what's the difference between giving high school students "Five High School and Three Models"?"

Old Tan, who is half an Internet addict, gave Shidu a basketball: "I heard Brother Feng said that you used to play basketball with your teammates in the IPL. No one in R.H likes sports. Everyone can lie down or sit, sit or stand , sooner or later they will get occupational diseases, in the future you will take them to move more."

Shi Du tried the feel of basketball: "It's easy to say."

"I think boys who can play basketball are so handsome." Cheese said, "Isn't it, Captain?"

Yu Zhao said coldly, "I don't think so."

Basketball, a sharp weapon for boys to pretend to be aggressive. Ten of the ten male protagonists in the novel are very good at playing basketball, and he also learned it specially to pretend to be aggressive, and his playing is not bad. But he really doesn't think that playing basketball well is Su's point. This skill is too common, and the security guards at their base are also good at it.

Cheese was used to being splashed with cold water by the captain, so he didn't feel disappointed at this moment: "Brother, do you know that?"

"Which."

"That's the one," Cheese held out a finger, "that one!"

Shi Du understood, and with a slight twist of his hand, the basketball spun around his fingertips: "Did you say that?"

"Fucking awesome!" Cheese quickly took out his phone, "Hold on for a while, I'll take a short video to pretend to be cool in the group...Look, captain, isn't this handsome?"

Yu Zhaohan was noncommittal, he could do it with practice.

Shi Du put the basketball aside, looked at Yu Zhaohan, and asked with a smile, "Has Team Yu prepared a gift for me?"

Yu Zhaohan took out a box from his backpack, and threw it to Shi Du expressionlessly. He didn't even get a gift package, and he could tell what was inside at a glance - a newly released smart watch, which was an upgraded version of the one Shi Du often wore. Yu Zhaohan chose white for the strap, which matches their team uniforms better.

"666," Shi Du raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes sparkled, "this should also be able to display the heart rate, right?"

"Nonsense." Yu Zhaohan said, "Why are you obsessed with heart rate—the heart is not good?"

Shi Du lowered his eyes and unwrapped the package, and smiled to himself: "Maybe."

After such a fuss, the time came at one o'clock before you knew it. Lao Tan urged everyone to take a rest quickly so as not to affect tomorrow's game. After Cheese and the others left, Yu Zhaohan quickly took a shower and went to bed. Shi Du was on another bed not far from him, and asked, "Did I turn off the light?"

"Um."

With a "snap", the room fell into darkness, only Shi Du's area was illuminated by the phone. Yu Zhaohan was lying upright, eyes closed, hands crossed in front of his chest, sleeping noble and elegant.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Zhaohan heard a rustling sound. He quietly opened one eye, and saw that Shi Du had put down his phone, so he opened the other eye as well.

In the dark, he looked at the boy's blurred outline, opened his lips, and said silently, "Happy birthday, Brother Timeless."

The "Destination" Carnival is an annual event for game companies and a carnival for fans. This year's carnival was held in China for the first time, and the enthusiasm of domestic players was unprecedentedly high. Even though the real-name ticket system was launched, it was still overwhelmed by scalpers several times.

It started to rain early in the morning, and R.H and his gang blocked the crossroads in front of the exhibition hall, and the long queues could be seen from a distance. Cheese held his mobile phone and said: "This year's carnival is the best in recent years. Apart from the 'Five Tigers' friendly matches, there are also cosplay contests, symphony concerts, fan creations, and face-to-face activities...not to mention, the planner I must go face to face, if I can kill one person, don't stop me."

Old Tan said: "Thinking too much, the match schedule is so tight, it will be finished in one day, where is the time for you to kill someone?"

The pink bus stopped at the back door of the arena, and the screams of fans could be heard through the windows of the car door. As soon as the door was opened, the screams amplified in an instant. There were too many and too many voices, and it was hard to hear clearly. What they heard most was the series of ah ah ah: Shine ah ah, ah ah ti and cheese.

When they got out of the car, they saw two huge light signs, one of which said "Happy Birthday Timeless"; the other said "Shine, I am your dog".

Yu Zhaohan passed through the crowd expressionlessly as if he hadn't seen anything. Shi Du walked behind him, smiled and waved at the fans, which drew even louder screams. Amidst the noisy voices, he heard a childish voice: "Happy birthday, brother~"

Shi Du stopped, and saw a little boy sitting on his father's shoulder with a game logo painted on his face, he was less than five years old by visual estimation. He took off his baseball cap, put it on the little boy's head, and smiled: "You have to call me brother."

Entering the venue, the cheers of the fans gradually faded away. On the way to the backstage lounge, they had a narrow encounter with the IPL. Lao Tan warmly greeted his brother team, the IPL manager gave him a throat-clicking gesture back, and then cast a resentful look at Shi Du.

Shi Du put his arms around the former manager's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Brother Feng, don't be like this, the situation should be bigger."

Brother Feng rolled his eyes, but didn't break free, and let Shi Du hold his arms: "Come on, you are heartless. IPL is not good for you? Why don't you just leave, R.H gave you some ecstasy soup."

The game started immediately, and Bi An and Xu greeted them and left. Lu Youshan stared at the IPL players and murmured, "I hope they didn't prepare well, I hope that the other side didn't sleep well yesterday..."

Shi Du turned his head and asked Qi Xian, "Have you taken him to see it?"

Qi Xian understood Shi Du's meaning, and said with a smile, "I've seen it. The doctor said it's the terminal stage and it's hopeless. But don't worry, he'll only get sick during competitions."

At the end of the first round, Chongqing eua and Guangzhou zc were eliminated. The old strong team dsd didn't seem to take the friendly match seriously. Half of the substitutes were on the bench in the second round, and they were sent away by the IPL without a surprise. IPL and R.H both reached the final.

The final is arranged in the evening, as the grand finale of the whole carnival. Compared with the International Invitational, the atmosphere at the scene today is much more relaxed, and the commentator also said there, "Friendship comes first, competition comes second."

"Don't listen to their farts." Lu Youshan instructed the four players who were about to play, "The goal of a game is to win!"

"Think about your mother's bag." Lao Tan pushed behind Cheese, "Come on!"

After the four of them were seated, they put on headphones to block the sound of the explanation.

"I guess I can guess what the commentator is talking about." Cheese said while adjusting the sensitivity of the mouse, "Why is Timeless's 18th birthday today? Can Timeless beat up his old club..."

"Shut up." Yu Zhaohan said, "Go to the shooting range to warm up."

Qi Xian: "Timeless, how much do you know about the new IPL short gun? He seemed to be your substitute before."

Shi Du: "You mean jam? He and I have two different styles. They are more group-oriented and don't like to show off very much."

Cheese: "You mean you love to show off?"

Shi Du: "Of course, if you don't want to show off playing competitive games, it's better to go home and farm."

At the beginning of the game, IPL chose a map, and it chose an ancient Chinese map - Daming Palace. The four of R.H quickly saw Jam's "not very showy". He knew that the c-position cut would not be time-consuming, and he didn't look for opportunities to go behind.

Xu chose a speed-up assistant, drove his teammates into the target point with speed-up, set up a formation, and the four of them tightly huddled together to defend. The advantage of this formation is that it does not give the opponent the opportunity to cut the back row. The disadvantage is that once the formation is broken, the group is basically wiped out, and even pulling can't be done.

The IPL has obviously worked **** this lineup, and the defensive thinking is very clear. As soon as Shi Du got close to the back, he would hit four, and if he went up, he would give it away for nothing. And Yu Zhaohan's spears all hit the tank's shield, often before the shield was broken, they were first persuaded by the firepower of the opposite spear.

With the unexpected lineup, IPL took the lead in scoring a point.

Cheese was a little confused by the beating: "What is this beating? Why can't the shield on the other side be broken?"

Shi Du said: "It's not that it can't be broken, it's that our shield breaks faster and their firepower is stronger."

Cheese asked, "What should I do then?"

Yu Zhaohan said, "Look at the coach."

During the intermission, the coach can add voice to arrange tactics. As soon as Lu Youshan came in, he said: "Join if you can't beat it. Cheese will take the magpie in the next game, and all the resources will be given to shiimeless, just like jam."

Ling Que is a single-support hero, who can only support one person at a time, and has a low fault tolerance rate. It is generally used in situations where three guarantees are one. Lu Youshan wanted to devote all his resources to Yu Zhaohan.

Shi Du said leisurely: "I didn't expect that I would have a day as a tool maker."

Yu Zhao said coldly: "Not willing?"

"If you don't want to, you have to listen to the coach." Shi Du replaced his usual assassin, "Then I'll leave it to you to win, Team Yu."

In the second game, Qi Xian, Zhizhi and Shi Du only need to do one thing well - protect their captain.

IPL has something to say about what happens when a human aiming elite has the resources of the team. As soon as the shield on the other side was broken, the four people were completely exposed to Shine's gun line, and fell down one after another. Finally, all the staff assembled again, and they could try to counterattack, but another opportunity was found by a tool man.

Without the cover of any teammates and without the care of a nanny, Shi Du cut off the IPL's spear one by one and escaped successfully.

Cheese said excitedly: "This Boxiu, brother, come back and have a drink!"

"I don't think I didn't obey orders," the boy said with an unconcealable pride in his voice, "I didn't take advantage of Team Yu's resources."

Yu Zhaohan smiled very shallowly, but his teammates could only hear his calm voice: "The game is not over yet, don't relax."

Only three friendly matches are needed, and in the end R.H beat the IPL 2:1, winning one million tournament prize money in just one day.

Today's Cheese chose to embrace the birthday boy: "My mother has Hermes!"

Shi Du hastily hugged him back, then cleaned up the keyboard and mouse, and shook hands with the IPL players in turn. When shaking hands with Bi'an, he was hugged again, and Bi'an said happy birthday.

The popularity is so good that the fish envy and hate.

After the game, the official will conduct a post-match interview as usual. The official originally wanted to interview Shi Du, who celebrated his birthday, but who would have thought that Shi Du would disappear as soon as the game ended. Yu Zhaohan was forced to open his business.

The host is a young lady with a sweet smile. When she heard that she was going to interview Shine, her smile suddenly became less sweet. Good professionalism supported her to stand beside Yu Zhaohan, and asked with a smile: "Hi, Shine. We all know that R.H has undergone tremendous changes in the past two months. Compared with last season, what do you think is the team's biggest player?" What is the change?"

Yu Zhaohan put on a world-weary face: "The short gun has been changed."

Moderator: "We noticed that R.H changed his tactics at the beginning of the second game. What are your considerations for deciding to do so?"

Yu Zhaohan continued to put on a world-weary face: "The coach's arrangement."

"Last question, today is the birthday of R.H's new short gun Timeless, does Shine have anything to say to Timeless?"

Yu Zhaohan paused slightly, looked directly at the camera, still world-weary: "No."

What he wanted to say, he whispered to his brother last night.

"Thank you Shine for accepting our interview - thank you!"

Yu Zhaohan returned to the backstage lounge and found that the people from the IPL were also there. Brother Feng was on the sofa locking Lao Tan Qiang's man, and when he saw Yu Zhaohan coming, he immediately let go of his hand and said politely, "Team Yu is here."

Yu Zhaohan asked, "What's the situation?"

Qi Xian explained: "Old Tan made an appointment at the IPL to celebrate Timeless's birthday together—where's my brother?"

Just as Lao Tan wanted to call to find someone, Shi Du came back. "Where have you been? It's all waiting for you." Lao Tan rubbed his neck and said, "I've booked restaurants and ktv, let's go and celebrate your birthday."

Shi Du's expression was not very good: "My mother insists that I go home for my birthday, so I won't go, you guys go."

Cheese's eyes widened: "You are a birthday star, how can we play if you are not here?"

Yu Zhaohan signaled Cheese to shut up with his eyes: "He should go home."

Old Tan thought for a while: "That's right. Then you go, is it enough to give you two days off?"

"One day is enough. Brothers have fun, come back and ask me to reimburse you." Shi Du said, calling a car with his mobile phone while walking outside the venue.

Yu Zhaohan stopped him: "Timeless."

"Um?"

"It's not easy to call a car in rainy days," Yu Zhaohan said, "I'll take you to the airport."

All day long, Shi Du only thought about the game, and after the game he had to deal with his family, he almost forgot about the episode between him and Yu Zhaohan last night. But now, he suddenly remembered the expression on Yu Zhaohan's face when he asked him why he was swearing under the warm light.

He hasn't explained it yet, but... there doesn't seem to be much to explain.

The words of refusal were swallowed back. Shi Du bent his lips and smiled, "Okay."

They stayed in the stadium all day, only to find that it was raining heavily when they came out. The two went back to the hotel to pick up their luggage and car, and went straight to the airport. As the Spring Festival approached, there were several times more cars on the expressway at the airport than usual, and it was raining heavily at night. Even if time was tight, Yu Zhaohan didn't dare to drive too fast.

Shi Du looked at the phone and said, "Why don't you drive more slowly?"

Yu Zhaohan thought that Shi Du was being sarcastic, and said coldly, "You don't know that safety comes first?"

"It's so good that it hurts me again." Shi Du raised his phone, "I just received a message that the flight was canceled due to heavy rain."

"..." Yu Zhaohan said in his heart that I'm not fierce, how could I be fierce, I just "said in a cold voice", so you can call me fierce.

"Do you want to change your ticket?" Yu Zhaohan asked.

The boy who couldn't go home seemed to be in a good mood: "Let's find a place to eat first, I'm so hungry."

It was almost eight o'clock, and Yu Zhaohan was a little hungry. They got off the expressway at the nearest exit, Shi Du found a KFC, braved the heavy rain and bought a set meal to eat on the car. Professional e-sports players can be regarded as public figures, especially star players like him and Yu Zhaohan, who have as many fans as third- and fourth-tier stars, and it is not a small trouble to be recognized.

Shi Du handed Yu Zhaohan a hamburger. Yu Zhaohan didn't answer: "I look like someone who can eat this kind of thing?"

Shi Du just laughed: "It doesn't look like it, but that's all there is now. Team Yu, let's force it?"

With only junk food, you can't blame him. Yu Zhaohan said reservedly: "Then I want to eat chicken rolls."

Shi Du was really hungry, he finished off two hamburgers and a box of spicy chicken in two or three strokes, while Yu Zhaohan was still eating the chicken rolls slowly. After filling his stomach, Shi Du suddenly sighed, "I don't even have a cake for this birthday."

Yu Zhaohan paused, put down the chicken roll, and asked, "Do you want cake?"

Shi Du looked at the raindrops hitting the skylight, and said casually, "It doesn't matter if you eat or not, as long as you have cake and candles, you can make a wish."

Yu Zhaohan stopped talking, took out a French fries and stuck it on the mashed potatoes, then hesitantly held it up and showed it to Shi Du: "Is that so?"

Shi Du was stunned, his chest felt itchy as if he had been scratched by a cat's paw. He wanted to say that this is already very good, but he couldn't help but yawn: "No, if it's not chocolate flavor."

Yu Zhaohan suddenly felt that his good intentions had fed the dog, and said with a condensed face, "As you wish."

Young people have a lot of shit.

Shi Du couldn't hold back his laughter. He took the mashed potatoes from Yu Zhaohan's hand, and closed his eyes next to Yu Zhaohan in the rainwater-surrounded carriage.

An eighteen-year-old boy has no worries about food and clothing, and has not yet begun to fall in love. His wish is very simple.

He wanted his career to last a little longer... longer, longer than two years.
