[Gao Qiao] yesterday once more

"What do you think of the finals?" Ye Xiu asked him casually.

Qiao Yifan's operation was not slow at all, but he hesitated when he spoke, as if he was carefully thinking about his words: "Blue Rain... It's a pity. The main reason is that the first match of the final was 7.5:2, and we lost too many points. Originally, there was still a chance to recover in the second match, but because of the point difference, Lan Yu could only be conservative, but it was Samsara, with a very positive and determined attitude."

"Reincarnation is nothing to be afraid of," Ye Xiudao said, throwing a waltzing stick casually, "With the score advantage in hand, they have nothing to fear."

"Yes," Qiao Yifan sighed, "Samsara probably has a lot of advantages in terms of skill points. If Lan Yu knew it in advance, he wouldn't be so caught off guard."

After all, it's all because of skill points.In the eight seasons of Blue Rain, what defeated them was not reincarnation, but an accident—the outcome of this match was destined from the very beginning not to be determined solely by strength.

Ye Xiu smiled with a cigarette in his mouth: "How many skill points do you think Samsara can have now?"

"I guess... Maybe some characters in Samsara are full?" Qiao Yifan is of course aware of selling Samsara skill point guides, but he can only pretend to be a melon eater and speak cautiously and conservatively.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiu was very interested: "Full point, I dare to guess, Yifan?"

"..." Qiao Yifan sighed helplessly, "Senior."

They were casually playing arena PK, while chatting and discussing the just-concluded finals.Blue Rain lost in the last game of the playoffs, and the new champion was Samsara.Not to mention that the two of them played a one-on-one battle for 5 minutes in a daze to chat, and the three-time champion Ye Xiu and a newcomer from Tiny Herb were seriously talking about Blue Rain's tactics in the finals. Make it feel weird.

But the truth is happening right in front of your eyes.Ye Xiu didn't know what kind of Shiquan Da tonic Qiao Yifan had taken to suddenly improve by leaps and bounds, but this did not prevent him from discovering that this young man had experience almost like a veteran and profound tactical accomplishment.

Few people can keep up with their thoughts like this, Qiao Yifan is one of the rare ones - and he is the youngest one.When it comes to age and qualifications, Qiao Yifan is really too young, even if he is not worth mentioning among his juniors; but when it comes to technology and awareness, Ye Xiu doesn't regard the current Qiao Yifan as a junior at all.

Evenly matched, such tactical discussions are particularly interesting.

Ye Xiu is very happy to see the results: it is only natural for future teammates to be around, to practice and discuss tactics together.What's more, this young man is so smart and humble, which is very attractive.

Halfway through their chat, Qiao Yifan suddenly heard the internal phone in his room ring.He apologized to Ye Xiu, picked up the phone, and heard Gao Yingjie's voice rushing out through the phone line, "Yifan, bring your account card and hurry to the training room!"

"...Huh?" Qiao Yifan was confused, it was already so late, why did he suddenly go to the training room, "What's wrong Yingjie?"

Gao Yingjie's voice was very urgent, but also with rare excitement: "I, I—I can't tell for a while, anyway, come here quickly, okay? Bring your ghost sword card!"

...Ghost Sword Card?

Qiao Yifan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly smelled the coming rain.

half an hour ago.

Gao Yingjie summoned up his courage and found Wang Jiexi in the training room.Evening training had long since ended, only Liu Xiaobie stayed in the empty training room, asking the captain for advice and discussing issues, seeing Gao Yingjie walk in, they both turned their heads to look at him.The captain has a great say in the club, and if he wants to impress the club, he must conquer Wang Jiexi.Gao Yingjie took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the cowardice and anxiety in his heart, and walked towards his captain.

Wang Jiexi's answer did not exceed Gao Yingjie's expectations, it was very calm and realistic: "Xiaojie, Tiny Herb doesn't need him, and he is not suitable for Tiny Herb."

"But, but Yifan has never played before, never had a chance to perform!" Gao Yingjie spoke eagerly, arguing vigorously.Wang Jiexi was a little surprised: this was the first time he heard Gao Yingjie speak to himself in such a tone, his attitude was almost tough, and there was no trace of softness in his expression.

However, he still calmly replied: "Xiaojie, it's not like he didn't have a chance."

Rookie Challenge.Gao Yingjie knew that the captain was referring to this of course: the Rookie Challenge where he challenged Li Xuan with ghosts and ended up losing Tiny Herb's face.

Gao Yingjie's palms were clenched with sweat, and he forced himself to calm down: "This time, that time, Yifan - he has made great progress in the formation of ghosts, and now he is really good at fighting."

Wang Jiexi couldn't deny it, but just patted him on the shoulder.Liu Xiaobie, who was on the sidelines, frowned slightly, and looked at Gao Yingjie worriedly.

It's a clear attitude of disbelief.

"Captain——" Gao Yingjie became anxious, forgetting all about shyness and timidity, his eyes filled with pleading, "I'm serious! I saw Yifan fight a ghost two days ago—" He gritted his teeth , "It will definitely not be worse than our team's regular selection."

These are his sincere words, but it's a pity that the two people in front of him can't take them seriously.Wang Jiexi and Liu Xiaobie watched the two children come up from the training camp all the way, and knew that Gao Yingjie had a deep dependence on and love for Qiao Yifan.

Liu Xiaobie occasionally felt that maybe Xiao Gao could do anything for Qiao Yifan—just like now.

There is not much rational judgment, it is all courage born of partial emotion.However, for Gao Yingjie, who was shy and introverted by nature, it was extremely rare to be so impulsive.

He just lacks this bloodiness.

This was the unanimous judgment of everyone in Tiny Herb on this young genius in private.

Probably because of this rare courage, Wang Jiexi didn't hit him too hard, but just talked about the matter: "What is the actual strength? You have to use the competition to talk about it. It's not enough for you to say that, Xiaojie."

"Then—" Gao Yingjie clenched the hem of his clothes, his heart was beating like a drum, and he finally mustered up the courage to say what he had planned for a long time, "If Yifan and I team up to win a 2v2 team match , can you let Yifan stay?"

When he said this, he was still a little nervous and stumbling, but his gaze was fixed on Wang Jiexi without any hesitation, and he was so determined that he was almost unlike the usual Gao Yingjie.

Wang Jiexi was really surprised.Not only because of the rare courage and vigor he showed, but also because of the consideration shown by his young disciple in this proposal.

If you want to prove your strength, 1v1 heads-up is enough, but Gao Yingjie proposed 2v2, of course, to help Qiao Yifan increase his chances of winning.Gao Yingjie's reputation as a genius is not in vain, but what is rare is his sharp ambition - he just wants to rely on his own strength to fight for Qiao Yifan's way.

A bit willful, and too eccentric, but—— Wang Jiexi thought, this is a good thing.

Tiny Herb doesn't need Qiao Yifan, but Tiny Herb needs Gao Yingjie's spirit.If this way can make Gao Yingjie grow up, then it doesn't hurt to have a chance.

"Yes." Wang Jiexi nodded, and as expected, he saw Gao Yingjie's expression brighten for a moment, but the next second, the second half of his sentence made Gao Yingjie freeze in place, "Just follow me and Xiaobie Let's fight, it's so late, don't bother others."

Do you want to fight the captain Xiaobie...?Gao Yingjie panicked for a moment.But immediately before his eyes flashed the moment when he killed Wang Buliuxing in the Rookie Challenge, and then Qiao Yifan's lowered eyebrows, like a wisp of smoke, as if the wind would blow away from his world.

Can you win?He asked himself this a moment ago, but the moment he thought of Qiao Yifan, Gao Yingjie had completely forgotten about the rest.The captain is indeed very strong, and so is Little Bie--but he wants to win!

It doesn't matter who the opponent is, in order to catch that wisp of smoke, in order to walk down with Yifan.

No matter what it took, no matter how bleak the odds seemed, he was going to win - and they were going to win!

By the time Qiao Yifan arrived at the training room, the duel was already imminent and had to be fought.Gao Yingjie took his hand and told the truth, while Qiao Yifan's expression was blank, he was too shocked and didn't know how to react for a while.

What didn't happen in the previous life, Gao Yingjie in this life caught him off guard - the development of reality seemed to gradually deviate from the track he remembered, and the feeling of losing control made him instinctively panic.

Especially when it was about Tiny Herb and Xingxin.

At that moment, Qiao Yifan had countless thoughts in his mind: it was too late, there was no way to escape.Can they win? If they win, what will Xingxin do?Still should lose.What will Yingjie do if he loses?Do you want to release water on purpose?No, wait, I probably couldn't win against the captain and senior Xiaobie.But shouldn't it be safe? ——However, the moment he saw Gao Yingjie's gaze, all thoughts suddenly disappeared.

Gao Yingjie just looked straight at him, his dark eyes were shining with pure and bright light, like the only light of hope ignited in the darkness of boundless despair.It's like pleading, like ecstasy, like a little beast begging for praise, or like the last straw that a helpless man grabs when he falls into the water.

So sincere, so sincere.

"Yifan, let's go together." He said this, just like many years ago, with pure and bright expectations for the future jumping in his eyes, spotless.

In the night of the training camp, there is a cool summer wind and a few stars.At that time, they were still too young, with youthful hearts, and even themselves were still naive.

"What wish did you just make?"

"Eh? It won't work if you say it..."

"If you don't tell me, I'll just guess..." Qiao Yifan tilted his head and smiled, "Hmm...champion?"

Gao Yingjie blushed all of a sudden, and whispered, "Yifan, you made a foul...why do you always guess right?"

"It's Yingjie, you're so easy to understand." Qiao Yifan burst out laughing, clear and gentle.

"You, don't laugh at Yifan—" Gao Yingjie was completely shy, almost annoyed, but his eyes were serious, "I, I just want to be with you...to win a championship together."

"Champion", such a beautiful word.

Qiao Yifan raised his head and saw the scattered stars in the night sky of City B.The starlight is gentle and meager, shining on the two young teenagers.Qiao Yifan felt that he would probably always remember the touch of the evening wind on that summer night, refreshing and clean, and he heard his voice full of longing and dreams: "Then make an appointment, Yingjie, let's go together."

Together we will.

These four words easily defeated Qiao Yifan, spanning their green and innocent youth, and spanning seven years of ups and downs.Gao Yingjie's expectant gaze instantly overwhelmed all his thoughts and decisions, guilt and guilt submerged him like sea water, making him utterly hopeless and helpless.

Yingjie.

Yingjie.

At that moment, Qiao Yifan suddenly gave up resisting.

He used to think that his decision was firm enough, even if it would hurt Gao Yingjie, he had no choice but to leave Tiny Herb.However, at this moment, he realized that just one look from Gao Yingjie was enough to make his heart ache.The sense of guilt was like a sharp knife, cutting his heart into pieces in the suffocating pain, and laying it out naked in front of him.

Such a selfish heart.

So hypocritical.

Even he himself was disgusted.

Happy and Gao Yingjie, after so many years, still choose one of the two.Qiao Yifan closed his burning eyes in despair.

His choice has already been decided, but the outcome of this duel can only be arranged by fate.

This time - this time only, he decided to do his best to fulfill Gao Yingjie's wish, no longer think about other things, no longer hesitate.Let this game be the final commemoration before farewell, to commemorate their last and only side by side.

Gao Yingjie & Qiao Yifan VS Wang Jiexi & Liu Xiaobie, let's start!
