[Han Zhang] One thought

20.

In the eyes of everyone, Tyranny's journey to the playoffs could be described as a "breakthrough". In the first round, he defeated the Royal Wind team with almost no effort. In the ensuing semi-finals, Tyranny faced his old opponent Hundred Blossoms, but the media The expected "revenge" did not take place, and "Blood Flowers and Blood Scene" still ended dismal, which caused many comments like "Hundred Blossoms is the most overrated team".

In the end, standing on Tyranny's way to win the championship was still their "thorn in the side" Excellent Era team.

There are still three days before the match day, and the media is already building up momentum for this "peak duel"—Excellent Era, which has established three consecutive dynasties, and Tyranny, who has been defeated for three years, the pair of Ye Qiu and Han Wenqing. Old enemies, Su Mucheng and Zhang Xinjie, the two dazzling rookies, are all full of topics.

Some people even placed bets on the forum, and Excellent Era's odds were soaring all the way, but soon, this kind of behavior "not in line with the spirit of competition" was stopped by the league.However, gambling in private is not completely prohibited. After training one day, Coach Yang pulled Han Wenqing into the stairwell with a mysterious expression on his face, and said in a low voice, "Old Han, you have to work hard, I have already given away all the year-end bonuses." Detained!"

"What?" Han Wenqing stared dumbfoundedly at Lao Yang, "Don't mess around, this is against the rules."

"Hey, I have confidence in you, and I will support you with practical actions!"

"If you're confident, why are you here to rubbish with me? Do your own work, don't interfere with my training!"

After dismissing the coach, Han Wenqing went to the cafeteria alone, and as soon as he entered, he saw the whole room chattering about the upcoming match against Excellent Era.Amid all the turmoil, he ordered a meal for himself, looked around the cafeteria, and sat across from Zhang Xinjie with the plate.

The person in front of him seemed taken aback. He raised his head and stared blankly at Han Wenqing, but was met with a sharp slash: "What are you looking at, I'll eat you."

Now Zhang Xinjie also sensed that Team Han was in a bad mood, so he simply lowered his head and ate without saying a word.Normally, apart from Ji Leng and Li Yibo who occasionally ask him to sit with him, almost no one will sit at the table with him - he almost never makes a sound at the dinner table, and he doesn't take the initiative to talk to others. If you want to chat with him, you have to Wait until he finishes eating all the food in front of him.

But Han Wenqing didn't look like he wanted to chat with him, the two of them buried their heads in their own meals, and it seemed that they had a very "tacit understanding".

They finished their lunch almost at the same time, Zhang Xinjie got up to pack the plate, and instinctively stretched out to clean up for Han Wenqing, but the other party grabbed his wrist violently.

"I'll just clean it up myself."

Han Wenqing said so, but he didn't let go of his hand. Zhang Xinjie was pulled by his wrist like this. He only felt uncomfortable, but he didn't have the intention to break free.

"Captain?" He tried to call out, but the other party raised his head and looked at him, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Are you alright?"

"No." Han Wenqing let go of his hand, got up, picked up his plate, and walked towards the bar where the kitchen waste was cleaned up.Zhang Xinjie followed behind him, looking at his background, he felt a tightness in his chest.

Is he nervous?Is he stressed?Does he need my help?

These thoughts lingered in his mind, and it wasn't until the training in the afternoon that he put aside all these distracting thoughts and focused on the world of glory.

In fact, everyone was under a lot of pressure, including Zhang Xinjie himself.An obvious evidence is that along the way in the playoffs, he needs to undertake more and more things.

At this moment, no one would think that he is just a rookie. In fact, since the start of the playoffs, he has gradually become one of Tyranny's backbones, and even assumed the mission that originally belonged to Ji Han - to connect the whole team together tactical system.

The attention of the media came one after another, but Zhang Xinjie himself had no time to worry about it. The game was just around the corner, and Han Wenqing decided to implement his defensive strategy. The next task was to turn the tactical ideas into reality during the game.

In this match that can be said to be recorded in the annals of history, what people remember more is Ji Leng's extremely astonishing life-saving blow, which directly took away One Autumn Leaf in a self-destructing manner, and instantly reversed the situation on the field.

This blow was beyond everyone's expectations—it seemed to be an out-of-the-ordinary behavior, which seemed very out of place in the finals.

As the saying goes, the decisive game is an unnamed game. In a game that is about life and death, any small move may change the situation of the game. In addition, Tyranny played more cautiously than usual in the previous two rounds of playoffs. Everyone once thought that Tyranny would finish all the matches so calmly, and then lose to Excellent Era as usual.

However, the sudden change of situation made everyone dumbfounded. Once One Autumn Leaf died, the situation on the field took a turn for the worse. Excellent Era's tactical system fell apart. Like a harvester, Yan quickly harvested the lives of everyone in Excellent Era on the field, and there were also people on Tyranny's side who fell one after another, but under the treatment of Shi Buzhuan who followed him like a shadow, the last person standing was still Guyan of the Desert.

Won.

Looking back on the past can make those thrilling scenes look calm, but every time everyone in Tyranny thinks about it, their hearts are still as excited as yesterday—including Ji Leng and Li Yibo who directly announced their retirement at the post-match press conference.

It was a new thing for a championship hero to directly announce his retirement after winning the Finals MVP. The reporters present started whispering, but Ji Leng just calmly stood up, walked towards Han Wenqing, and hugged his teammates one by one.

Li Yibo also walked up to Han Wenqing, stared at his captain, and seemed to want to say something, but Han Wenqing obviously didn't have that in mind, so he pulled him in front of him and hugged him forcefully.

Zhang Xinjie also silently embraced the two seniors who were about to leave. This scene was photographed by reporters, and it was published in various sports magazines and forums under the title "Tyranny's Alternation between the Old and the New".

The media and commentators who have no more vision can also see that, apart from the desperate Ji Leng, Zhang Xinjie, who is planning to turn the tide as a rookie, decides the direction of the game.All of a sudden, all kinds of comments flooded in. In fact, in the competitive circle, "Debut is the pinnacle" is not a friendly comment, it contains a bit of sharp irony.But Tyranny accepted everything without exception, and Zhang Xinjie himself remained calm—in fact, after the joy of victory, he had to face the bitterness of parting immediately.

Ji Leng and Li Yibo are leaving.

The celebration banquet turned into a break-up meal. Not to mention Zhang Xinjie, even Han Wenqing was a little depressed. He kept his head buried in his drink without saying a word. It didn't take long for the beer bottle in front of him to be more than half empty.

"I said, Old Han, take it easy...don't drink yourself down first."

Li Yibo spoke a word of persuasion, which immediately drew a sharp stare from the other party. He shut his mouth, stared down at the wine glass in his hand in a daze.

At this time, Han Wenqing suddenly raised his head and asked, "After you retire... what are your plans?"

"I'm going home to do business." Ji Leng replied politely.

"I might still do work related to Glory..." Li Yibo hesitantly sighed, "I still can't let go..."

This sentence undoubtedly drew Han Wenqing's eyes again, but Li Yibo also read other meanings from his angry eyes - it was reluctance, no regrets, and helplessness.

He then grinned grinningly, with a look of indifference: "I heard from Lao Yang that the team has already found me a successor from the youth training camp. I went to inspect it in person two days ago. That kid is not bad. The method is very atmospheric..."

"Who?" Han Wenqing asked casually.

"It's called Zheng Chengfeng... There's also an elemental mage named Bai Yanfei, who's pretty good too."

Han Wenqing nodded and didn't speak any more. Seeing the scene gradually cooling down, Ji Leng stood up holding his wine glass and walked straight to Han Wenqing: "Captain, I'll toast you, Tyranny will depend on you from now on. "

The consequence of Ji Leng's words was that Han Wenqing was drunk by a group of people on the night of the celebration banquet. After throwing up in the bathroom for a round, Ji Leng and others still did not intend to let him go. In the end, the battle situation expanded to the point where no one was spared , even Zhang Xinjie was poured a few drinks, he watched Li Yibo grabbing Han Wenqing's arm in a daze, crying and laughing, not knowing whether he was drunk or awake.

Although Han Wenqing was physically strong, Li Yibo's feet slipped a few times. Zhang Xinjie stretched out his hand in bewilderment, and supported him.

"I'll send the captain back to rest..."

"Are you okay? I think you are quite drunk yourself."

Zhang Xinjie opened his eyes wide in a daze, nodded, and then shook his head again.

"Forget it, send the captain back, go rest yourself, don't force yourself."

Zhang Xinjie helped Han Wenqing staggered all the way out of the box. Behind him, a scuffle at the wine table was still going on. Ji Leng and Li Yibo were determined to give it up completely.When he walked to the entrance of the hotel, he could still hear the sound of drinking wine in the box, but he had no time to pay attention to it—he was surprised to find that he could not catch a taxi at all, and he sprained his foot in haste, so he had to continue limping Holding Han Wenqing on the crutches, he walked back slowly under the cover of night.

I don't know if it's because of drinking too much, or because of Han Wenqing himself. Zhang Xinjie vaguely felt that the arm pressing on his shoulder and neck was extremely hot. He suspected that Han Wenqing had a fever, so he quickly reached out to touch Han Wenqing's forehead. Before the hand touched the opponent's skin, he spat it out unexpectedly.

Zhang Xinjie was completely stunned at this moment, neither stretching out nor withdrawing his hand, standing in place like a wax figure, but Han Wenqing was still uncomfortable, struggled and wanted to continue to vomit.Zhang Xinjie had no choice but to help him to the side of the roadside flower bed, while holding his shoulders to let him vomit, he took out a tissue from his trouser pocket to wipe his hands.

After Han Wenqing vomited, he tilted his body and almost fell into the flower bed. Zhang Xinjie hurriedly dragged him back, and sat side by side with him on the edge of the flower bed, patting his back to sober him up.

Even though it was midsummer, the sea breeze in Q City at night made Zhang Xinjie wake up a lot.Han Wenqing's head fell on his shoulder, and his breath was full of alcohol. At this time, Zhang Xinjie was no longer a young man in the youth training camp who knew nothing about the world. Naturally, he would not feel nervous and embarrassed to face Han Wenqing, but at this moment He also felt that his heart was beating like a drum, and his throat was dry.

He stretched out his hand out of nowhere, and brought it close to Han Wenqing's eyes, but he dared not touch it with his fingertips.

He had never seen Han Wenqing like this before, but all he could do was to sit with Han Wenqing on the edge of the flower bed, with the cold wind blowing, and wait for Ji Leng and others who finished drinking to find them sitting on the side of the road. Pick them up.

"I knew I shouldn't have let you go first..." Although Li Yibo was already very drunk, Ji Leng was quite sober. He greeted the two of them into a taxi, patted Zhang Xinjie on the shoulder, and poked his head away again. He took a look at Han Wenqing.

"Deputy Ji...is the captain okay?" Zhang Xinjie asked in a daze.

"It's okay." Ji Leng turned his head, pointed at Han Wenqing and smiled at Zhang Xinjie, "From now on, you will be the deputy team—take good care of him."

Ji Leng's words were obviously just a joke to ease the atmosphere, but Zhang Xinjie nodded seriously, his eyes mixed with bewilderment and sincerity.

"it is good."
