[full-time master] short story

Xing was still squeezed into a big bed room, so it seemed logical to invite someone to live here this time.Han Wenqing frowned, and didn't know how to think of the other person's back when he saw it at the seaside just now: the kind of whiteness that was suppressed by not basking in the sun all year round--the waist is very beautiful.

"I finished washing, Old Han, you go." A familiar voice came from behind, and Han Wenqing turned around and saw the owner of the back that was still dangling in front of his eyes just now—this time it was the front, and Ye Qiu was very generously holding it on his waist. Wrapped in a small towel, she walked outside, her legs were long, her white flowers were almost dazzling, and her chest was still pink from the bath just now, "Ah, didn't we take the bath towel to swim just now, I threw you It's in the washing machine."

Han Wenqing nodded with his expression unchanged.

The other party came into his room whistling. Han Wenqing sat on the wicker chair for another 5 minutes before getting up and going into the bathroom, where he turned on the cold water faucet.

He remembered that there is an idiom called "one word becomes a prophecy", and he remembered that a long time ago, when he lived in Ye Qiu's dormitory, they collided with each other in the darkness, and the endless smell of tobacco suddenly surfaced so vividly. Come.He took three deep breaths before suppressing the rising evil fire in the cold water.

In fact, Han Wenqing himself didn't know what was going on.He and Ye Qiu are old friends, old enemies, opponents who can understand what the other is up to just by looking at them.Such an existence is hard to describe in words, but Han Wenqing is not in a hurry to think about how it extends to the physical level—and even what it means.

There must be a way for a car to reach the mountain, and he has always come here like this.

So when the two of them sat side by side in front of the TV and watched a movie on that thunderstorm night, Han Wenqing didn't exert his subjective initiative at all.The suggestion at the beginning even came from Ye Qiu, who said that this day is simply perfect for watching horror movies.The rain crackled on the window, and I don't know whether it strengthened or weakened the sense of horror in the film.Ye Qiu commented from time to time: "Look, this zombie looks a bit like the one in Boneyard."

It's not like watching a horror movie.

Han Wenqing thought that Ye Qiu didn't think about anything before making this suggestion, including the fact that he himself never watched movies.The plot was far from reaching its climax, and Han Wenqing already had an extra weight on his shoulders—not surprisingly, someone had already fallen asleep.

He turned away slowly.In the ever-changing light and darkness, the man's face became a little strange, but Han Wenqing would not mistake him, no matter in the game, in the arena of the battle, or in the crowd at the train station, he would never recognize this man anywhere— ——This kind of certainty made him feel a little scared, and made him feel stable on another level.

Finally, Han Wen cleared the TV and pushed someone who was snoring on his shoulder.Ye Qiu fell into a drowsy sleep, and after calling out "Old Han", he continued to sleep in another position.

Han Wenqing finally sighed and laid him flat on the sofa—fortunately, his sofa was big enough, so he went to the guest room to get a cold quilt and came back.For a moment, only the sound of rain could be heard in the huge room, as if there was only this square inch left in the world, and only the two of them.Han Wenqing looked at him silently for a while, then called him again.Obviously the man was fast asleep.So he sighed, finally leaned down like giving up, and kissed him.

——It was indeed the same as the one three years ago.

Then the moment he straightened up, he saw Ye Qiu's eyes widen in surprise.

"...Old Han?"

17.

When Han Wenqing first saw the loose person named Lord Grim in the video, what Han Wenqing actually thought of was the missing Ye Qiu.But he didn't say it out—even though Zhang Xinjie already had the words "It's Ye Qiu" written on his face, he mentioned that among the current professional players, Yu Wenzhou was probably the only one who would make the choice to support the whole team with a casual player.

In the end, it was Zhang Xinjie who said, "Actually... there is one more person."*

"You mean Ye Qiu?"*Han Wenqing nearly gritted his teeth when he pronounced the name, and even gave a rare sneer, "He's already gone. Why did you show up?"*

Zhang Xinjie didn't continue talking.Han Wenqing pushed away the messy thoughts that were always entangled, and continued to ask how to deal with the matter.

But after Zhang Xinjie left, he didn't continue to train. Instead, he went to the rooftop rarely. After searching his body for a long time, he couldn't find the cigarette case and lighter before realizing that he was really determined to quit smoking this time.

——He didn't expect Ye Qiu to run so fast.

They didn't say anything that rainy night.After Ye Qiu called "Old Han", the two fell silent, just like all their previous problems, they couldn't be summed up or solved simply with words.Finally, he put his hand on the other person's shoulder and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

In the shadows, he couldn't make out the other person's expression, he only knew that Ye Qiu nodded.He maintained his superficial calm and walked back to his bedroom, but tossed and turned for a while before falling asleep.

Han Wenqing once thought that this matter was not complicated or difficult, until he got up early the next day and found that the guy who was still living here had disappeared without a trace, including his luggage, and suddenly realized that their relationship was about to end. It can become unspeakably complex and subtle.

But as long as they were still rivals in Glory—then the most basic things would not change.

Han Wenqing believed in this and waited for their next fight.

He would never believe that what he was waiting for was the news of Ye Qiu's retirement.

18.

In the end, it was the arena that completely put Han Wenqing at ease.

Even though the old opponent used an individual account that he had never seen before, the two only played a few rounds, and Han Wenqing was sure that the guy behind the opposite account must be there—even if there was no lower limit, there was no change.

Lord Grim quickly conceded defeat, the outcome of this match and the bet seemed to be completely ignored by him; he didn't even have the arrogance of a professional player.In the end, instead, he said to Han Wenqing:

"Of course, I know you like to give it your all all the time. But it's time to slow down, and you can feel it yourself."*

"Sorry, I only know how to move forward, but I don't know how to slow down."*

Even with that answer, Han Wenqing knew that Ye Qiu's blunt criticism was pointing at his own weakness in hand speed.If you ask who knows your competitive state best - I'm afraid the first one is yourself, and the second one is Ye Qiu.

Does quitting mean admitting defeat? * Repeated the last sentence left by the man, Han Wenqing pushed the seat and stood up.The number one tactician in the league, who would believe this time in the arena if there is no backer behind him?What's more, that set of casual players' style of play is the key to Ye Qiu's return to the professional arena. How could it be so directly displayed in front of professional players like them?

Even if Ye Qiu didn't say a word, Han Wenqing had already confirmed the man's future plans.

"Maybe in another year, we'll see him on the court again."*

As he spoke, he remembered the advice about "slow down", and finally clenched his right fist tightly.

Another year.

That is to say, if they want to confront Ye Qiu again, they will have to persist for at least another year.

Since that day, the dark clouds that had inexplicably gathered over Tyranny seemed to have dissipated a lot. The most direct manifestation was that the number of times Captain Han's words plummeted - of course, Tyranny's recent victory all the way was also an important reason.Seeing that the end of the new year is approaching, it is the annual All-Star Weekend again.Professional players in this kind of event don't care much, and veterans like Han Wenqing just use it as a pastime; the real nervous people are those young people who participated in the Rookie Challenge, and the organizers who hope to get a lot of money.As usual, Han Wenqing and Zhang Xinjie took a group of Tyranny's newcomers and seniors on the plane to S City. After a short rest, the second day of the All-Star Weekend began.

However, even Zhang Xinjie, one of the four Glory tacticians, could not have expected that Sun Xiang would actually challenge Han Wenqing in the rookie competition.Han Wenqing frowned when he heard the young man on the stage read the name, and then stood up.

When he walked to the ring, his back was as straight as a javelin.Even though Wang Jiexi and Lin Jingyan lost to the rookies as veterans, Han Wenqing didn't feel any worry or worry.

What Sun Xiang didn't consider was that Han Wenqing's winning rate against battle mages other than Ye Qiu was almost overwhelming.Even if this person uses One Autumn Leaf, it won't make any difference.

"However, if it's Ye Qiu, at least that record of Crouching Dragon Soaring to the Sky will definitely not come to nothing."*

After leaving this sentence, he walked off the field, his back still straight.He guessed that Ye Qiu probably wouldn't be watching this one - that guy has always been indifferent to business events, exhibition games and even the All-Star Weekend, but even if he did it all over again, he would still mention the man's name.

Don't think that temporary retirement can escape for too long.He thought, and slowly clenched the account card in his hand.

19.

——As a result, as if to respond to Han Wenqing's comment, the "unnamed challenger" on the second day played a long-absence in the match against Samsara Du Ming. dragon looking up.

This is more important than that person standing on the field and saying "I'm back" openly.

After the event ended that day, the reporter's interview was naturally indispensable, and Ye Qiu was the first question to be asked—as if none of the other projects on that day had happened at all.In the end, the camera turned to Han Wenqing. Without thinking about anything, he just said:
