【Gao Qiao Gao all】Youth

During the normal training period, the atmosphere in Tiny Herb's training room was different from usual.

The upper limit of the Glory online game has just been raised to level 75, and the Glory League has been suspended accordingly. The club also hopes that professional players can participate in dungeon land reclamation, first kills, and record-breaking during this period, so as to seize the opportunity.

Compared to the rigorous daily training, these activities are like a vacation.Apart from playing online games, Tiny Herb players open QQ, watch TV shows, visit forums, and read novels.

Wang Jiexi stood up suddenly, and tapped lightly on the computer desk with his fingers.The training room was so quiet that even the sound of the keyboard and mouse disappeared. Everyone looked up and waited for him to issue instructions.

"Now, go get a 20-member raid." He said briefly, "With Team Xingxin."

With a bang, everyone in Tiny Herb looked along the sound.

Gao Yingjie blushed, and hurriedly lowered his head to pick up the mouse. He didn't expect to meet again in the online game so soon.

Everyone in Tiny Herb didn't say much, they exchanged glances quickly - they knew who was in Team Xingxin.Wang Jiexi also just gave Gao Yingjie a vague look.

They and the ten people from Xingxin met at the entrance of the instance in Leping Mountains.

Everyone is using a professional account, which can make headlines in normal times, but since the glory update, this has become a bit of a surprise, and ordinary players just crowd around to watch.

Gao Yingjie saw One Inch Ash in Happy's formation at first glance, his normally steady fingers suddenly trembled a little, he couldn't help raising his hand and adjusted the position of the headset again.

After entering the dungeon, his Mu En rode a broomstick, bypassed the others with great precision, and flew straight to Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash.

"Yifan?" Gao Yingjie greeted him a little uncertainly.Even though he had been watching the reports in the e-sports weekly newspaper, and he tried his best to find videos of each of Xingxin's challenges, but after all, he hadn't heard any confirmation from his friends.

"Hmm..." Qiao Yifan had also noticed Mu En a long time ago.He hadn't found the right time to explain his whereabouts to the other party, so he hesitated and responded with a guilty conscience.

Gao Yingjie's heart skipped a beat when he heard a familiar voice that he hadn't heard for a long time, so Mu En jumped off the broom a bit too much.

"It's really you..."

The undisguised joy in the other party's tone made Qiao Yifan even more at a loss as to what to say.He could only look at Mu En through the perspective of One Inch Gray, as if he could see his friend's smile through the expressionless system face.

From Gao Yingjie's perspective, One Inch Ash was also looking at him, just like Qiao Yifan was looking at him.He opened his mouth, and there were so many things he wanted to say in his heart, but he couldn't even say a word because he was so full.

"Oh, this little brother is very polite, you took the initiative to say hello?" At this time, a rogue character of Xingxin walked past One Inch Ash calmly, and said casually.

The sudden question made Gao Yingjie, who was full of messy thoughts, completely at a loss: "Huh?"

Qiao Yifan tried to introduce: "Brother Baozi, this is..."

Steamed Bun, who has known his younger brother everywhere, has already earnestly encouraged him: "Not bad, not bad, I am optimistic about you. Go boldly! I will cover you."

"Oh..." Being urged like this, Gao Yingjie became even more dizzy, he responded, and immediately manipulated Mu En to jump on the broom and rush up to clear the monsters.

The mobs in the dungeon naturally have no pressure on a genius like Gao Yingjie, and his Mu En has also improved in equipment to a certain extent because of Tiny Herb's double magic way of play this season.This unsparing performance made Baozi's eyes straighten when he volunteered to protect his younger brother.

"It seems to be better than me?" Baozi said to Qiao Yifan who was sitting next to him.

"Hehe..." Qiao Yifan really didn't know how to respond to this sentence, but he was quite proud of his friend's excellence.

The progress of the dungeon was slowly advancing, and while Wang Jiexi was outputting, he was also observing Xingxin's players.

While most people thought that Excellent Era could easily revive all opponents, the magician had other ideas.There are unknown newcomers, and even more unknown Ye Qiu, Wang Jiexi thinks it's more interesting to bet on the side of Happy with Ye Qiu.

Wang Buliuxing approached Lord Grim, and began to ask questions and comment.After asking a few people, he said: "Qiao Yifan has adapted quite well to the profession of playing against ghosts."

The technology of Zhengui is still a little immature, but compared to the assassins at that time, it is obviously more like an important piece of the puzzle in the team.

"This may be the most suitable occupation for him." Ye Xiu replied.Talent is not the best, but this kid's diligent attitude and good sense will allow him to grow a lot.

Of course it is impossible for Wang Jiexi to understand this point, so he simply replied: "Maybe it is!"

Wang Jiexi never wastes time thinking too much about the things in the past and the choices he has made.

In Tiny Herb's formation, Gao Yingjie was also keeping an eye on One Inch Ash.Due to the limited position of each character, it is not easy for him to blatantly go to Yiinchhui's side, but it is not impossible to turn the perspective occasionally.

He felt that Yifan's ghost formation was maturing day by day.Seeing it with my own eyes in an online game is more personal than seeing it in a video.

He couldn't help but began to look forward to some vague possibilities.

That night, Gao Yingjie hesitated and hesitated, and finally sent a simple text message to his friend: "Yifan, come on."

It didn't take long before I received an equally short reply from Yifan: "Thank you, I will."

Gao Yingjie stared at the phone for a while, and then locked this text message from his friend to prevent accidental deletion.

The lights were turned off, and the room was pitch black.

Qiao Yifan listened quietly to the pattering spring rain outside the window, not feeling sleepy for a while.

Tomorrow is the day when Xingxin sets out to participate in the offline competition.Everyone was asked to go to bed early tonight because they had to catch a plane early in the morning.With An Wenyi and his self-discipline, he naturally took a break early.

The place where the offline competition is held is City B, where the League Headquarters is located and where the Tiny Herb Club is located.

Nine and a half months have passed since he bid farewell to Tiny Herb and left City B.

Not one second of nine and a half months of worthless nine-and-a-half months would make him feel regretful.

Even though Qiao Yifan can't be alone, he is no longer the one who struggled in Tiny Herb, the one who naively challenged Senior Li Xuan when he was a beginner, and the one who was so depressed that he wanted to give up his dream of being a professional player.

Like Ye Xiu's predecessor, he created folders in his daily computer to store various game videos.In the spare time of training, he carefully watched every video, wrote down his experience of watching the game, and then went to ask his seniors for advice or discuss with his teammates.

There are not many subfolders in it, mainly Xingxin, Xingxin's opponents in the Challenger League, Void, and... Gao Yingjie.

Gao Yingjie's performance in the competition this season was extremely impressive, and Qiao Yifan was also clearly aware of the gap between them.But he is not eager to reach the sky in one step, the goal is just to let his friends see his continuous improvement when they reunite.

Although the meeting he imagined was in the professional arena, not... in the online game boss fight, which is more chaotic, complicated and difficult to control than the professional league team battle.

"I can't think of us fighting side by side in this situation."

Qiao Yifan still remembered the dejected voice of his friend who rushed to protect him during a scuffle.At that time, he really wanted to answer something, even if it was just a simple answer, but the magician was immediately thrown away by the collar of Senior Ye Xiu's Lord Grim.

"Shoulder to shoulder, they are all opponents, be serious!"

"..." Qiao Yifan had no choice but to calm down silently, and continued to organize the scene seriously.

Later, they met occasionally in online games, but they were all too busy fighting, so they never had a chance to speak close to each other.

Qiao Yifan gently picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, and opened an old text message specially saved under the quilt.

Very simple four words - "Yifan, come on."

He was in a daze for a moment.

"Little Qiao?" At this moment, An Wenyi noticed the light on the phone and called him.

"Ah... let me confirm the alarm clock." Qiao Yifan was a little embarrassed.

"Be careful with your eyes." An Wenyi reminded.

"I see." Qiao Yifan quickly pressed the standby button and put the phone back where it was.

After the morning exercise, when returning to the dormitory from the gym, Wang Jiexi suddenly noticed that the lights in the training room were on.

This time is too early even in normal times, let alone a rest day.

He pushed open the door and saw Gao Yingjie's motionless back.The boy wearing earphones was watching a glory match intently. The two sides were two ghost swordsmen.

Wang Jiexi hesitated for a moment, then walked over and opened the seat next to him.

Gao Yingjie didn't hear footsteps at first, but he still noticed when Wang Jiexi came over.He turned his face and called out to the captain anxiously, quickly took off the earphones and stood up, but Wang Jiexi patted him on the back without saying a word to indicate to continue, and then sat down by himself.

So Gao Yingjie bent down and unplugged the headphone cable.The commentary is talking about One Inch Ash's sneak attack in the corner.

Although he was disturbed by being discovered, the captain didn't seem to mind very much, and since the game was at a critical moment, Gao Yingjie continued to concentrate on watching Qiao Yifan's performance.

Starting from leading the opponent to the ideal trap location, the progress of the game is completely under the control of One Inch Ash.Dark array, ice array, green array, flame array... Precisely calculating the cooldown of each skill, One Inch Hui has almost achieved the ultimate control of the field.Considering that the opponent is also a ghost swordsman, it is undoubtedly not easy to restrain the same profession to death.

"Suddenly gathered so many ghost formations, he wants to..."

The commentary paused, and Gao Yingjie also held his breath.All the ghosts and gods on the field burst into dazzling light in an instant, and the feast of ghosts and gods exploded gorgeously, reducing the opponent's life to zero.

"Xingxin's player won beautifully, let us remember this player's name together. Qiao Yifan!"

Gao Yingjie couldn't help clenching his fists as the commentator's ecstasy shouted and the audience's thunderous applause echoed in his ears with the sound of his blood surging.Probably for the first time, he seriously imagined the scene when he became an opponent with such a Yifan.

A little excited, a little nervous, a little eager to try...not just the sadness of not being able to fight side by side with my friends anymore.

Before Gao Yingjie had time to carefully appreciate his own thoughts, he was immediately embarrassed by what he said next.

"Speaking of which, this player named Qiao Yifan originally played for Tiny Herb..."

"..." Gao Yingjie was silent, and took a peek at the captain beside him.

Wang Jiexi's expression didn't change, he just raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly to watch the game.In the professional circle for so many years, he has seen ups and downs, and has been questioned in various ways. He doesn't take it to heart when he explains that this is a pure afterthought.

Gao Yingjie was very disturbed, but he couldn't say anything more.

The two of them watched Qiao Yifan's wonderful [-]v[-] in the group arena in silence.

"Good ghost formation." Wang Jiexi said, standing up.

"Captain?" Gao Yingjie quickly followed suit, trying to explain, "I..."

Yesterday's live broadcast was not seen because of training, so he got up early today on purpose.In fact, it is okay to watch it in the dormitory, but he wants to practice after watching it.So... so.

He couldn't get his explanation out because Wang Jiexi directly interrupted him: "Go to the final of the Challenger League and watch it live."

Gao Yingjie was at a loss: "Ah...?"

Without waiting for him to say anything else, Wang Jiexi turned and left the training room.

Standing stiffly in front of the mirror, Gao Yingjie suddenly felt that he didn't even want to go out.

Because Liu Xiaobie and Liu Fei kept trying on him the various hats they brought from his teammates.

His own hats were all Tiny Herb's peripheral products and he couldn't wear them out, so he asked if Senior Liu Xiaobie had anything extra.And then... things became like this.

"This style is better." Liu Xiaobie turned the khaki fisherman hat in his hand.

Uncompromising in terms of dressing aesthetics, Liu Fei said bluntly: "That's not true. Xiao Gao's face shape is most suitable for a baseball cap."

"Really?" Liu Xiaobie was the first to put the fisherman's hat on Gao Yingjie's head.Gao Yingjie's eyes immediately darkened - too big.

"Look, let me just say no." Liu Fei proudly put on a baseball cap.Leaving aside the effect, because the tightness can be adjusted, Gao Yingjie did not fall into a state of temporary blindness again.

Liu Xiaobie raised an objection: "The brim of the hat is not long enough to cover your face. Change to this one."

"Try it." Liu Fei glanced at it.

The size and style are suitable, and the effect of pressing the brim of the hat to block the face is also outstanding.

Gao Yingjie finally saw the hope of relief: "Is this... alright?"

"I always feel that the colors don't match very well. Or is this better?" Liu Fei carefully compared the two hats in his hand with those on his head—according to her, they were navy blue and ink blue.

Li Ji turned around and said, "It doesn't matter about the color."

Liu Fei earnestly popularized aesthetic knowledge to his teammates: "It doesn't matter? Is it okay for the sharpshooter to wear a yellow or green windbreaker?"

Li Ji made up his mind about how his character's handsome windbreaker suddenly turned into a plastic raincoat, and turned back silently.

"I'll take another look." Liu Fei continued to compare the two indistinguishable blues.

"Wow, what is this doing? Is Xiao Gao going on a blind date?" Yuan Baiqing who was passing by asked loudly.

There was a burst of laughter, and Gao Yingjie lowered his head with a blushing face.

Xu Bin, who was browsing the news on his mobile phone, came out to make a rescue: "Hey, it's almost time to go."

Only then did Liu Fei reluctantly let Gao Yingjie go.

Although he still couldn't understand how the hat matched the clothes so well, Gao Yingjie was quite satisfied with its blocking effect.He was not noticed when he followed Xu Bin and Liu Xiaobie, two seniors, into the auditorium of the Liulisong stadium.

The game is about to start, and players from both sides are already in the reserve seats.

Although they had been separated for nearly a year, he still recognized the familiar figure at Xingxin's preparation table at a glance.

"Who do you like, Happy or Excellent Era?" Liu Xiaobie asked.

Xu Bin thought for a while before answering cautiously: "Excellent Era's lineup is stronger, but Xingxin is not easy to deal with. Personally, I think there may be an upset."

"Xiao Gao, of course you support Xingxin, right?" Liu Xiaobie turned to Gao Yingjie again.The entire Tiny Herb team knew that the relationship between these two teenagers was extraordinary, Gao Yingjie would come to watch this match, most likely because of Qiao Yifan.

"Ah..." Gao Yingjie nodded absently.

The preparation seat was not close to where he was, and he could only roughly see Qiao Yifan sitting down, turning his face, nodding, getting up, waving at someone, walking away, talking to another teammate, and returning to his seat.Every move is as natural as when I get along with myself, and I don't have the feeling of being cautious and afraid of making mistakes before.

He thought that Yifan had probably successfully integrated into Xingxin.That's... just fine.

In the past year, Gao Yingjie had fantasized countless times about Yifan returning to Tiny Herb in the future.At the beginning, this kind of imagination was just a placebo for him, but he felt that Yifan should be able to make Tiny Herb open the door for him again.

Even the captain, who almost never said polite words, also said, it's a good array of ghosts.

But... what does Yifan think?

The one who had given him infinite hope and allowed him to slowly sink into bottomless despair, and the one who ignited hope for him again in that endless despair.

In fact, Gao Yingjie already had the answer, but as long as he thought about it a little more, he would feel uncomfortable.

So he deluded himself not to think about it.

All kinds of memories of the past and unspeakable emotions were intertwined, Gao Yingjie silently clutched the phone in his pocket.

Come on, Yifan.

I'm here...waiting for you.

After a long and difficult match than any he had experienced in his professional career, Gao Yingjie finally hoped for the most ideal ending - the grassroots team Xingxin defeated the traditional giants Jiashi to win the challenge championship.

The Tiny Herb players who came to watch the match gave applause to their future opponents without hesitation.This content-rich confrontation is completely worth sacrificing a daily training and rushing all the way from the club to the Liulisong Stadium to watch the scene.

At this time, the characters and contestants of the Champion Six on stage were being introduced one by one by the host: Ye Xiu and Lord Grim, Tang Rou and Han Mist Rou, Bao Rongxing and Baozi Invasion, Wu Chen and Xiao Qiang...

Next season, these people will face Samsara, Tyranny, Blue Rain, and... Tiny Herb in the professional league.No one knew if they could create even greater miracles if they were able to overthrow the behemoth Excellent Era.

Accompanied by the sharp-eyed ghost swordsman One Inch Ash singing the ghost array, a close-up of the operator Qiao Yifan appeared on the big screen.

Unaccustomed to such close attention, the young man blushed shyly on his cheeks, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly reservedly, but his eyes were shining like stars, revealing his inner excitement after victory.

His line of sight was slightly staggered from the front camera, and met the direction of Tiny Herb and the others.

Knowing that Qiao Yifan's eyes didn't have a specific target, Gao Yingjie's heartbeat still fluttered.

He thought of that summer again, in front of Tiny Herb's door.

Rest assured, I will be back.

The words left by the young man turned out not to be casual relief, but a serious declaration.

Yifan.He said silently in his heart.Welcome back.

Anyway, welcome back.
