Shimmer

Christmas Eve, Tiny Herb Club.

After finishing the evening's training, Wang Jiexi called all the team members together to arrange the club's Christmas activities for tomorrow night, and then briefly talked about the Glory All-Star Weekend in the near future.

"The league will finalize the roster for the Rookie Challenge before tomorrow night," Wang Jiexi said, turning his gaze to Gao Yingjie, "Yingjie, I signed up for you."

Gao Yingjie was taken aback, "Team, captain?"

"Prepare well, I'll talk to you in detail tonight," Wang Jiexi patted Gao Yingjie's shoulder encouragingly, and continued, "Anyone else want to sign up?"

After a moment of silence, a person in the corner raised his hand weakly, "Captain, I want to sign up..."

Not only Wang Jiexi, but everyone in Tiny Herb looked at the person who spoke in surprise—Team Tiny Herb's Little Transparent, bench player, Qiao Yifan.

Wang Jiexi stared at the child's flushed face, thoughtful.It is rare for a timid child to take the initiative to make a request. Seeing that he seems to be out of shape these days, could it be that he has done some special training or has a new idea?If this kid's potential and confidence can be stimulated through a rookie challenge, it will be good news for Tiny Herb.

What's more, as the team leader, it's not wrong for me to put Tiny Herb first; but as a senior, I really don't care enough for Qiao Yifan.

Wang Jiexi immediately made a decision, "Okay, you have to prepare well."

Qiao Yifan's joyful expression caught Wang Jiexi's eyes, and he suddenly remembered what a retired great god said, children are the treasure house of miracles.Let's give this kid a chance, and hope he can make good use of it.

But the result was not what Wang Jiexi expected.

The challenger turned out to be Li Xuan; the character used by Qiao Yifan turned out to be a ghost.

What the hell is this Qiao Yifan doing?

The players of the other teams kept looking over, suspicion mixed with contempt.The more Wang Jiexi looked at it, the angrier he became.No one would value Tiny Herb more than Wang Jiexi, and no one would be more angry than Wang Jiexi when Tiny Herb was discredited.

So when Qiao Yifan got off the field, seeing his captain's expression made him feel even more chilled.So instead of going back to his seat, he walked straight through and out.

The light in the corridor was dim, but Qiao Yifan's thoughts gradually became clear.The feeling of unreality at the end of the game gradually subsided, and Qiao Yifan finally accepted the fact that he was defeated miserably at the most important turning point in his career.After the numbness subsided, the pain gradually came up.Qiao Yifan's footsteps became faster and faster, as if if he stopped, he would be so painful that he would never be able to walk again.

why why why……

Obviously I have changed a career that suits me, I have already won the opportunity, I can take this opportunity to gain a chance for my career, obviously... I have worked so hard, why, why is the result like this?

Obviously, I have worked so hard...why...why...

After all, I still don't have the qualifications to be a professional player...

After a few laps, Qiao Yifan found himself lost.Looking at the gloomy scenery around him, and thinking about the brightly lit stage just now, Qiao Yifan couldn't bear it any longer, his nose sore, and he cried out.

----------

Ye Xiu watched the children on the stage shake hands with Li Xuan and walked back to the contestants with a confused look on their faces. The look in their eyes changed quickly, and he hurriedly said hello to Chen Guo and left the auditorium. People who can't even lift their feet when walking on weekdays can be described as wind blowing under their feet at this moment.

So much alike, so much alike.

That sense of confusion of not knowing what happened, that unreal feeling as if the whole world is illusory, that tingling feeling that the blood is gradually cooling down.The feeling expressed by that child's expression was exactly the same as when he saw Su Muqiu lying in a pool of blood back then.

So Ye Xiu unconsciously became worried.After all, the other party is still a 15-year-old child, the age who likes to dream and imagine the future the most. Few people will survive such a big blow.

If Gao Yingjie, who had been raised in the greenhouse all this time, suffered such a blow, everyone in Tiny Herb would work together to help him rebuild his confidence.What about Qiao Yifan?His confidence was worn down by Tiny Herb, and now it's a joke, it's even more impossible for Tiny Herb to help him rebuild his confidence.

After spending a long time in the stadium, I finally saw Qiao Yifan who was wiping tears while walking, his eyes and the corners of his eyes were all red.Ye Xiu breathed out, lit a cigarette unhurriedly, took a puff to ease his emotions, and said, "You are too reckless!"

Qiao Yifan stopped and stared blankly at the people who came over.

His face was a bit puffy, he had a cigarette in his mouth, and his coat was hanging loosely on his body. He looked lazy, but he looked into his eyes with seriousness.

"I understand your thoughts. You want to use this stage to show everyone your ability to use ghosts, but your opponent's selection is too exaggerated? You actually chose Li Xuan? What do you think? Since you want to show you If you use the talent of ghost formation, the last person you should choose is Li Xuan."

Qiao Yifan froze for a moment, subconsciously wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Ye Xiu looked at Qiao Yifan's bowed head, the gloomy light in the corridor floated on his soft hair, and the expression on Xiaohua's face showed embarrassment, unwillingness, grievance, and despair, even though he was so sad that he still thought stubbornly. Dry your tears.

What a child who is so strong and stubborn that it makes people feel distressed...

Ye Xiu turned his head and blew a smoke ring as far as possible where Qiao Yifan couldn't smell it, and continued: "There is no one in the entire Glory who is more familiar with the formation of ghosts than Li Xuan, and you actually want to show it to him? Of course, your ghost formation skills will be restrained to death. How can you reveal one-tenth of your level? I am speechless..."

Qiao Yifan's movement of wiping his tears froze, he stared blankly at him, and after a while he said, "Master Ye Qiu?"

Ye Xiu nodded, "Well, it's me."

"...Ah!" Qiao Yifan, who knew who it was, suddenly felt embarrassed. It was really embarrassing for him to cry so hopelessly in front of Senior Ye Qiu.

Ye Xiu watched Qiao Yifan hurriedly raised his hands to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he couldn't hold back, stretched out his hand to hold Qiao Yifan's head and rubbed it for a while.

Tsk, this child, with such force, his eyelids are almost scratched...

Qiao Yifan was now on Zhou Zekai's upper body, just letting Ye Xiu mess up his hair in a daze.Although he wasn't smart, he wasn't clumsy either. He could feel that Ye Xiu's random rubbing of his head was definitely not a tease.So he put down the hand that was wiping his tears, and let Ye Xiu rub it.

Now Zi Yexiu felt embarrassed. Seeing Qiao Yifan no longer licking his eyes, he withdrew his hand and cleared his throat. It took him half a second to be amazed that his old face was still unstoppable, and then said: "Glory? You think so simply, you want to defeat Li Xuan in just one month? You are still far behind Zhengui, but you are still young, and you have plenty of time to continue to hone and wait for opportunities. However, if you want to seize opportunities, you must have some substance. I thought that the current you could make people shine and be included in the team. But..."

Ye Xiu turned his head, stared at Qiao Yifan and said seriously, "Don't question your talent."

Qiao Yifan raised his head upon hearing this.

Don't question your own abilities...

The person in front of him was smoking a cigarette, leaning against the wall, half standing, half leaning, but the casual and lazy expression disappeared in an instant when he said the sentence just now.

Qiao Yifan was stunned for a while, then raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

Just as Ye Xiu was going to stop him, he saw that the child in front of him wiped away the last tear, and the light in his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Thank you, senior!" Qiao Yifan said loudly, "Now, I have truly seen myself and straightened out my identity. Senior is right, it's too early to think about opportunities, stages, etc.! Opportunities come with preparations." Damn! I'm not ready yet!"

Yes, now he thinks these are superfluous, only with the level and technology can he grasp the opportunity when it comes.

"Even if this season is temporarily abandoned, it doesn't matter! As the seniors said, I am still young, and I can continue to practice and wait!" Qiao Yifan raised his head, his eyes were firm, "It's a big deal, just be a rookie again, just Think of it as starting all over again!"

Ye Xiu's hand flicking the cigarette ash stopped in the air. Many years ago, there was also a person who, after all the plans fell through, said lightly, "It's just a start all over again!"

This kid is not only facing career problems, but after returning to the club, everyone in Tiny Herb will naturally treat him a little bit worse. A 15-year-old kid who is ridiculed by others has the courage to face it.

Sure enough, he was far braver than he imagined.

Seeing Qiao Yifan's shining eyes, Ye Xiu's heart twitched, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he tightened his restraint rarely, showing a gentle smile, and stretched out his hand to rub Qiao Yifan's soft hair. "Come on!"

--------

Qiao Yifan watched Ye Qiu go away, thinking about the conversation with senior just now.

Senior, he really didn't give up his glory!How wonderful it would be to be able to stand on the field with the seniors in the future!

He thought about reaching out to the top of his head, and slowly combing the messed up hair, once and for all, the place where his fingertips touched seemed to still have the smell of tobacco from Ye Qiu's fingertips, as well as the warmth of Ye Qiu's palm.

Qiao Yifan put his hands on top of his head and smiled foolishly.Then, looking at the direction Ye Qiu was going away, he repeated in a low voice what he had said many times before, "Thank you, senior..."

Thank you, senior, for always showing up when I was at a loss, rekindling my confidence and making me feel that I am not useless.

Qiao Yifan moved his fingers slightly as he touched the top of his hair.

When Ye Qiu rubbed his hair and looked over gently, the temperature of Ye Qiu's fingers and eyes was really warm, so warm...it made him want more...

Knocking himself on the head hard, Qiao Yifan shook his head, although his lips were pursed tightly, the expression on his face was extremely firm.Then he strode towards the brightly lit stage.
