Warm Water Spirits

Jiang Yunqi and Lin Xiyao entered the classroom by stepping on the bell.

Teacher Liu, the teacher in charge, stood in front of the podium and sent out the three English readings and compositions that he had done in class yesterday. Seeing Lin Xiyao and Jiang Yunqi coming in behind, he said strangely, "Lin Xiyao, didn't you come early? I was still at the school gate at [-]:[-]." see you."

The students in the class raised their heads when they heard the sound, and saluted the two of them in unison.

Teacher Liu asked coldly, and Lin Xiyao, who was about to go back to her seat, stood by the podium and was stunned.

Jiang Yunqi didn't show any expression or pause, and sat down on the seat with his schoolbag on his back.

"I—" Lin Xiyao shifted her gaze to Jiang Yunqi who had already taken out the books and stationery.

Everyone followed to see Jiang Yunqi who was sitting quietly, and booing sounded in twos and threes every second.

Jiang Yunqi took out the weekly exam paper signed by Pei Zhe, felt the second attention, raised his eyes and glanced around, his ice blue eyes showed a sense of distance, his expression was as indifferent as ever.

"What's the trouble?" Teacher Liu frowned, turned to Lin Xiyao and said, "Sit back."

All the reading and composition quizzes have been sent out, and before the explanation, there is a routine spot check of words and fixed collocations.Teacher Liu asked several students to write silently on the blackboard one after another, and Jiang Yunqi was the fourth.

Jiang Yunqi performed well, spelled every word correctly, and got two sets of five fixed collocations wrong.

Teacher Liu was barely satisfied, and before Jiang Yunqi put down the chalk, he couldn't help saying: "It's not bad, try to get everything right tomorrow. Don't make mistakes in the basics."

Jiang Yunqi turned his head, blinked twice, and whispered: "Yes."

"Go down."

Jiang Yunqi felt that he should be praised, but his phone was confiscated, otherwise he could secretly send a message to Pei Zhe.

For a few seconds thinking about Pei Zhe, Jiang Yunqi was criticized by Teacher Liu for being distracted.

After finally finishing the last class in the morning, when the bell rang, most of the students in the class rushed out of the classroom.It was late, and the cafeteria had to queue again.The whole senior three group was on the highest floor of the attached high school again, so if they didn't run fast, by the time they got down to the first floor, the senior one students would have already occupied the cafeteria.There are a small number of students left in the class, some bring their own meals, and some don’t want to eat at all, so they simply save time to study questions or take a lunch break.

Jiang Yunqi belongs to the small part of the majority.He rolled up the English book and went to the cafeteria while reciting phrases.

When going downstairs, Mr. Liu went to eat with Mr. Tao, who teaches Chinese. When he met Jiang Yunqi who bowed his head and flipped through the book, Mr. Liu couldn't help laughing, and told him: "Go to the cafeteria quickly, and don't read books when you go downstairs."

Teacher Tao was not happy.

During this period of time, the first thing Jiang Yunqi does every time after class is to take out his English book or vocabulary book.

"Jiang Yunqi, Mogu Wen in the afternoon, are you ready? And your big composition——"

Teacher Liu quickly stopped, Jiang Yunqi had indeed worked hard in English recently, "Let him go to eat first", seeing that Teacher Tao's face was obviously dissatisfied, Teacher Liu added: "After eating, come back and recite Chinese, and be silent in the afternoon. .”

Lin Xiyao looked for Jiang Yunqi in the cafeteria for a long time, and seeing Jiang Yunqi eating alone in the third row, she pointed to Jiang Yunqi, and said hello to Xu Ruijing at the same table: "I'll go find it." he."

Xu Ruijing was puzzled, she bit her chopsticks and winked: "What's the situation with you two..." Thinking of Jiang Yunqi's transfer in the first year of high school, Lin Xiyao coveted Jiang Yunqi's "beauty", so she poked secretly: "It's been three years. , I finally have a clue? But looking at his ice face this morning, it doesn't look like..."

Lin Xiyao rolled her eyes, "From first year to third year, have you ever seen him take the initiative to say a word to me?"

Xu Ruijing sighed and said distressedly: "No."

"That's it." Lin Xiyao looked at it very openly.

"Then you're still looking for him?"

Lin Xiyao had a deep meaning: "He is a great god."

"Great master?" Xu Ruijing couldn't understand what kind of master Jiang Yunqi, who failed two weekly exams...is he a master of dancing?

"You don't understand. You don't play games."

Lin Xiyao picked up the plate and asked mysteriously, "Have you heard of Jedi Sniper? Do you know P11, the strongest team in the Asian server? And the recent dark horse team FightofFaith, referred to as 'FF', 'Xin Zhan', do you know?"

Xu Ruijing opened her mouth, as if Lin Xiyao came from another dimension.

"Jedi sniper?"

"It's a game that can be played on both a mobile phone and a computer. Shooting games, single-player teams can be played. Take the head, and the one who is left is king. Those who play well can become professional e-sports players, join teams or clubs, and the annual salary is divided into minutes Millions. The most powerful ones can represent their country in competitions and compete with e-sports players from other countries.”

Lin Xiyao glanced at Jiang Yunqi, saw that he was eating slowly, and couldn't leave for a while, so she sat down and said a few words with great interest: "I was scrambling for tickets a few weeks ago, it was organized by the Jedi sniper line." Friendship match, at University of M. I went there on the weekend and met Li Kun, the captain of 'Xin Zhan'—hey, he's a really awesome guy. It's rumored that he holds a gun very steadily, although he can't even match his sniping speed. ", said with his eyes pointing at Jiang Yunqi, approaching Xu Ruijing, and putting on an inscrutable tone: "He is in our territory, and he has another title, 'Yunshen'—forget it, no matter how godly you are, you can't get it ...to put it too far—”

"Li Kun's hands are not as fast as Jiang Yunqi's, but he is very stable. Any team he leads will not be too bad. Last month I heard that he wanted to form a team by himself. There are many self-recommendations. Anyone who is on the Asian server Those who are famous and ranked are very interested.”

Xu Ruijing stopped eating, "What does this have to do with Jiang Yunqi?"

Lin Xiyao turned to look at Jiang Yunqi again, and quickly said, "He's almost finished eating. Let me tell you, Jiang Yunqi once tortured a player of P11, the strongest team in the Asian server, by himself. God? Then there was a gossip that Li Kun sent a private letter to Jiang Yunqi, wanting to recruit him, but then Jiang Yunqi didn’t go online, so the matter went away—this is gossip. Then guess, who did I see at the gate of our school this morning?”

The confused Xu Ruijing couldn't keep up, "Jiang Yunqi?"

Lin Xiyao picked up the dinner plate again, hating that iron cannot be made into steel, "Li Kun! He came to our school to ask Jiang Yunqi! He said that Jiang Yunqi had an appointment with him! You should eat your meal! I'm leaving!"

After a while, Xu Ruijing came to her senses, and said in the direction of Lin Xiyao in disbelief: "Xiyao, you still play games? Your grades are so good, yet you still play games?!"

Lin Xiyao took the plate and sat opposite Jiang Yunqi.

Jiang Yunqi looked up at her and said nothing.

Lin Xiyao organized the conversation: "Jiang Yunqi, are you going this weekend?"

Meeting Li Kun at the school gate in the morning who was looking for someone, Lin Xiyao was so excited that she volunteered to help her idol, and Jiang Yunqi would definitely be brought on weekends.

Right now, the package ticket seems to be at risk of being in vain.

Jiang Yunqi spoke slowly: "My family doesn't let me play games."

Lin Xiyao was a little flustered, "This isn't just playing a game...it's, that's a combination of work and rest! And the appointment is on the weekend, so it won't take much time."

Jiang Yunqi's expression remained unchanged, he stared at Lin Xiyao who was suddenly nervous, and said sincerely: "My grades are not good, so I can no longer play games. I have to recite vocabulary and ancient Chinese on weekends."

Lin Xiyao was speechless.

What Jiang Yunqi said was so true that it couldn't be truer.

"OK then."

Jiang Yunqi got up and picked up the plate, paused for a while, then went to look at Lin Xiyao who was sitting motionless with a dejected expression, and said, "Thank you for bringing me the note this morning."

Lin Xiyao propped her chin up, smiled, and said apologetically, "You're welcome...I've been encouraging you before, and you don't think I'm bothering you."

"I didn't expect you to be the God of Clouds, so I was so excited...I also thought you would definitely go. After all, it was Li Kun. Do you know his 'Xin Zhan'?"

"I know. He is really strong. We talked online before, and he said he would come to me, but I also told him that I would not play games again before the college entrance examination."

"The gossip" was confirmed, and the real person was right in front of me. The previous frustration was dissipated a lot, but Lin Xiyao still couldn't restrain her excitement: "Jiang Yunqi, you are really—really amazing. You don't know, Jedi The official sniper forum also has your exclusive character topic, which is full of highlight moments of your game!"

Jiang Yunqi really didn't know.After all, the official forum of Jedi Sniper can be played by players from all countries, in any language, except for Chinese, Jiang Yunqi can't understand any of them.

Jiang Yunqi thought for a while and said to Lin Xiyao: "You are also very good. You have good grades. Your family must be very happy."

Lin Xiyao twitched her mouth, "I don't know if they are happy. The last time I saw my parents was during the Mid-Autumn Festival video call, and I didn't mention my grades much."

Jiang Yunqi felt that he should say something at this time, but he really didn't know what to say.

Jiang Yunqi didn't make a sound, and looked at Lin Xiyao seriously for a few seconds.

Lin Xiyao was stunned for a moment before realizing, "Ah, I'm fine", and then said with a smile: "Jiang Yunqi, you will definitely become a professional e-sports player in the future."

Jiang Yunqi turned his head, "Occupation?"

Pei Zhe had asked him before, what career he planned to pursue in the future.

This is the second time he has heard the word "profession".

"Yes, it's a profession. If there are more sponsors, you can get a lot of money every year. The best group of players will still have the opportunity to play for the country..."

Lin Xiyao also picked up her own plate, "I'll go with you. How are you preparing for the Chinese dictation in the afternoon? The five lines written by Ouyang Xiu are fine, but you can get the full text of Chibi Fu—"

"What does it take to become a professional player?" Jiang Yunqi asked suddenly.

A lot of people dispersed, and the aunt in the canteen was already preparing to mop the floor. The smell of disinfectant mixed with the smell of food was not very good.

Lin Xiyao thought about it, and said carefully: "I'm not very clear... I play Jedi sniper just to relieve pressure, no one cares about me, let's understand some bits and pieces. I know that if I want to join a team, I need a professional training team and logistics Team—just in time, you can ask Li Kun on the weekend! He is a professional player! He also participated in last year's World Championship!"

Jiang Yunqi didn't speak, and he didn't open the English book in his hand.

"If you don't have time, I can ask for you!"

But Jiang Yunqi kept silent.

Lin Xiyao was also silent for a while, and walked out of the cafeteria with Jiang Yunqi, remembering Jiang Yunqi's saying that she didn't play games before the third year of high school, and said for a while: "But you are right, study is the most important..."

After that, the two were silent all the way.

Before entering the classroom, Jiang Yunqi turned to Lin Xiyao and said, "I'm going to see Li Kun on weekends."
