As a Captain, You Must Be Cold - Chapter 86
The plane tickets for the two of them back to Shanghai were booked in the evening. During the day the next day, they stayed in the room without going anywhere, relying on takeaway for meals.
At noon, Shi Du took advantage of the time when he went downstairs to get takeout, and dialed a video for his mother, thinking of taking Yu Zhaohan to have dinner with her—his dad doesn’t care.
His relationship with his father was very tense, and he had no contact with him for several months. His mother is much more talkative than his father, and she is willing to discuss it with him. His father forced him to retire this year, and he went to a foreign school to report in September. It is now October, and he is still playing well in R.H. His father was so angry that he dropped three plates, two cups and a vase at home.
His mother is sandwiched between father and son, both sides are distressed and both sides are persuading. In the past few months, she rarely buys bags and rarely makes faces, which shows how tired she is.
When Shi’s mother received her son’s video, her face was radiant with joy, her skin turned pale: “Xiao Du finally took the initiative to call me, I thought you had forgotten about me as a mother.”
Shi Du smiled: “Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten.”
“Where do you think I am now?”
“Don’t guess.”
“I’ll help you deal with studying abroad while abroad.”
Shi Du was upset when he heard the word “study abroad”: “I have something to deal with, the enrollment period has passed.”
“I can’t tell for a while on the phone.” Shi Mu said, “I’ll go to Shanghai to find you when things are over here. I bought you a lot of clothes and shoes. My son will look good in them.”
Shi Du frowned: “Mom, don’t come, the base training is tense, I don’t have time to accompany you…”
Someone was calling her from Shimu’s side, she turned her head to answer, and said to Shi Du: “My girlfriend is calling me, I’ll hang up first. See you back home, Xiaodu.”
The camera flashed by, and Shi Du saw the aunt who often went shopping with her mother, and they seemed to be in a luxury store selling bags.
Looking at it this way, he didn’t bother too much, at least he was still in the mood to shop.
That’s fine.
When Shi Du returned to the room with the takeaway, Yu Zhaohan was sitting cross-legged in front of the computer, replying messages on WeChat.
“It’s dangerous, I’m going to starve to death in a second.” Shi Du put the takeaway on the table, “Who are you chatting with?”
Yu Zhaohan said, “There are a lot of people.”
When Shi Du approached and took a look, there were really a lot of people.
【Cheese: What color chrysanthemum do you like? Captain, Xian and I will bring you two pots】
[Shine: white, but Timeless likes pink]
[Boulder: Captain, my hometown is Chengdu. Do you have any specialty products from Chengdu that you want to eat? 】
【Shine: Timeless said he wanted to eat rabbit heads】
[Jiang: Captain, I have found witnesses and new evidence, which has been submitted to the Basketball Association, and the Basketball Association said it will re-investigate the incident that year]
[Shine: OK, congratulations]
【Jiang: Have you had breakfast today】
【Shine: Didn’t eat】
【Jiang:…】
After taking a shower yesterday, Shi Du wrapped him in a towel and carried him out.
Although it is very difficult for two boys to lie flat on the single bed, as long as you put it on and off, you don’t have to worry about it. So they couldn’t hold back and started another game, and it was already very late after the game. Yu Zhaohan went to bed too late, and was woken up by the biological clock the next day, and went back to bed with Shi Du. He didn’t eat breakfast and was only a little hungry.
In any case, skipping breakfast is not a good habit, he should not be led badly by Shi Du, but should be led well by Shi Du.
Shi Du asked, “Since when did I like eating rabbit heads?”
Yu Zhaohan said: “Don’t you like it? You like to eat everything.”
Shi Du couldn’t refute: “That’s true.”
The takeaway is fried noodles and milk tea. After eating, Yu Zhaohan took out the tablet and pen from his backpack, sat upright and said, “Now, let’s review what happened yesterday.”
Shi Du’s first reaction was that Yu Zhaohan wanted to review yesterday’s new map, and then he spotted the noodles on Yu Zhaohan’s shirt, and then thought: Impossible, my wife can never be so normal.
Shi Du took out a wet towel, and while wiping Yu Zhaohan’s clothes, he said, “Do you want to replay yesterday’s fishing incident?”
Yu Zhaohan nodded: “Yes.”
“Okay, let me talk first.” Shi Du threw the wet wipes into the trash can, raised his chin, and said arrogantly, “First, from now on, don’t say you’re tired halfway through, let alone say you want to fish first, take a break Come again.”
“why?”
Shi Du said bluntly: “Because I will wither.”
“But I’m really tired, and my hands will be sore.” Yu Zhaohan was in a dilemma, “I might as well satisfy you with my butt.”
Shi Du watched helplessly as the world-weary beauty said this without expression, and didn’t even know whether he should join in slightly to show respect: “What the fuck, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Why don’t you let me tell?”
Shi Du laughed jokingly: “You think you can relax in another place?”
“At least I can lie still.”
“You can lie still.” Shi Du pinched his waist, “But you don’t even want to sit and play games.”
Yu Zhaohan flinched, as if he was scared: “That’s no good, no matter what you do, you can’t delay the training.”
He bowed his head and wrote on the tablet, “You can’t touch fish halfway.”
“Okay, I promise you that I won’t do anything else halfway.” Yu Zhaohan said, “But you also have to promise me, pay attention to the strength and speed of your hands, try to move at an even speed, and listen to my instructions in the final sprint stage, and use it as appropriate accelerate.”
“Inappropriate.” Shi Du said solemnly, “I suggest that you don’t speak at any stage, let alone command.”
Yu Zhaohan asked again: “Why?”
Shi Du replied again: “Because I will wither.”
Yu Zhaohan said pitifully, “Shi Du, you wither so easily.”
Time Du: “.”
In fact, it is impossible to wilt. Looking at Yu Zhaohan’s face, he can’t wilt no matter what, but the beauty of the ice sculpture can destroy the atmosphere too much. I can’t go down.
Shi Du thought of a good way: “In this way, next time we do something, you will become Shine.”
Yu Zhaohan seemed to understand but half understood: “I understand.”
Shi Du watched Yu Zhaohan write down “you can’t change into a fish when you’re making out” one stroke at a time, and couldn’t help but spurn himself.
Yu Zhaohan usually has very little time to become a fish. If Yu Zhaohan still suppresses his nature when he is with him, then he will become a scumbag.
“Forget it, you’d better be a fish.” Shi Du said, “I’ll find a way to shut your mouth when the time comes.”
But Yu Zhaohan didn’t want her boyfriend to wither.
“Why don’t I change in turns.” Yu Zhaohan said, “One time is fish, the other time is Shine?”
What a great thing is this?
Shi Du smiled and said, “Okay.”
The holiday is over, and all R.H staff put their hearts away and concentrate on preparing for the playoffs. One week before the start of the playoffs, the official will broadcast live the lottery process that determines the match schedule.
At 7:50 in the evening, everyone gathered in the living room to watch the live broadcast. There are two pots of chrysanthemums, one white and one pink, next to the big screen. The coffee table is covered with rabbit heads, and there are all kinds of garlic, spicy, spicy and five flavors.
Everyone was drinking with cups in their hands, Yu Zhaohan had iced American style as always, Shi Du ordered milk tea with cute names and colors. He took two sips and thought it tasted good, and handed the milk tea to Yu Zhaohan’s mouth: “Try it?”
Seeing this, Lao Tan said: “Shine doesn’t like this kind of sweet and greasy stuff, don’t force him to drink it.”
Yu Zhao took a big sip from the straw that Shi Du used, and said lightly, “It’s okay, I can accept it.”
Old Tan: “…”
Shi Du smiled brightly and said green tea: “But what to do, the captain is willing to force it for me.”
Old Tan snorted: “The villain is successful.” Old Tan bumped the cheese beside him with his elbow, “You have nothing to say?”
Cheese Xindao, I have even seen them kiss, sharing a straw is nothing.
At eight o’clock, the league’s official live broadcast room opened on time, and one of the hosts was Alva who had asked Yu Zhaohan several times before.
During the chat before the lottery, Alva first announced the prize pool of this year’s International Invitational Tournament – a total of 22 million US dollars, which is 2 million more than last year. The team that wins the championship can get half of the prize pool, which is equivalent to more than 146 million RMB.
In addition to high bonuses, the champion team can also have four exclusive skins, and players can get a share of the proceeds from selling skins. This is the tradition of every International Invitational Tournament. If you are the champion of the World Cup, you can also add a World Championship map for your country in the game.
After talking about this, the host chatted about his expectations for the playoff teams. Alva expressed his love for R.H and Shine without hesitation, and joked that he would not give up, and would try to continue dating Shine after R.H finished the playoffs.
Alva has long been openly out of the closet, and Americans are particularly liberal in this regard. Shi Du didn’t react yet, but Shi Du, who was always shy and introverted, jumped up first: “Where did he get the confidence to ask the captain? Did he buy it online?”
Shi Du asked curiously, “Why are you so excited?”
Shi Shi blushed with anger: “He wants to poach your corner, are you still so calm?”
Cheese made a grimace at Qixian, and mouthed: CP fans are terrible.
Shi Du smiled: “Only by him?”
Alva’s move not only irritated Stone, but also offended R.H fans, Shine fans, and Timeless fans all over, and the dense barrage was full of curses.
【Gay back! retreat! retreat! 】
[I wish Shine wasn’t watching the live broadcast, I’m afraid it will disgust him]
[This Alva has a big face, and I can’t even fit it on my 60-inch display]
The lottery was about to start, Lu Youshan finally put an incense stick in front of Wan Feng’s photo, and said brokenly: “Bless you, don’t be a Lawman, bless you, don’t be a Lawman…”
Of course Lu Youshan knew that if they wanted to win the championship, they would have to meet Lawman sooner or later, but the Eastern and Western Divisions had gradually formed different styles during the long regular season, and R.H had only played against teams from the Western Division during training.
There are many differences between the official game and the training game. He hopes that R.H can compete with more Western teams before meeting Lawman, just like in rpg games, before fighting the big boss, you always have to brush a few small bosses to gain experience and upgrade.
The game producer of Des was in charge of the lottery. There were two automatic lottery machines. The producer first drew the eight teams in the loser’s bracket, and then started the winner’s bracket.
Producers roll out the first ball, hold it up and show it to the audience—L.A. Lawman.
[Fuck, I played so big from the beginning]
[Let me see which unlucky guy is going to beat the North American devil in the first round]
[Take a sip of R.H, let me feel the atmosphere of the finals in advance]
[DSD! DSD! DSD! 】
“Mute.” Lu Youshan pointed at the barrage and said, “Mute that grandma R.H.”
“It’s not our own live broadcast room, how can we ban it?” Shi Du said contemptuously, “Is the coach so afraid of Lawman? Shame upon him.”
Yu Zhaohan said: “It may not be a good thing to fight Lawman earlier.”
Cheese echoed: “I also think that it’s better to win the difficult ones first, and then just lie down and win.”
“I’m not afraid,” Lu Youshan said, “I just hope that we have enough preparation time before we fight Lawman, and give Qi more time to recover.”
Qi Xian calmed down the atmosphere with a smile: “If the coach says that, Shitou will be unhappy.”
“I won’t!” Shitou hurriedly said, “I don’t mind being a substitute for as long as I want, as long as the team can win…”
The producer rolled out a second ball, and it said the team would play Lawman in the first game of the playoffs. Everyone held their breath and watched the camera focus on the ball—Beijing IPL.
Lu Youshan let out a long sigh of relief. Shi Du sighed, “It’s a pity.”
[IPL miserable]
[Just came out of Xu’s live broadcast room, the poor cub was so surprised that his little face turned pale, he hugged the other bank and screamed loudly]
[There is no need to be so pessimistic, the IPL was the runner-up team last year. Although Timeless is gone, I still believe that IPL can… well, IPL is miserable]
The third ball is Hangzhou DSD, and they are going to play against New York PPZ, which is second in the West. R.H was shaken out in the penultimate round, and he was going to play the Tokyo Sakura team, a familiar eastern team. Last time, R.H was beaten 3:0.
Cheese smiled and said, “Team Sakura, that’s not a casual fight.”
Lu Youshan shook his head, not agreeing: “You have committed the crime of arrogance again, young man.”
At the end of the lottery, the major teams were happy and sad. The Wechat of professional players is almost overworked, and opening any group will get 99+ messages.
In the friendship group between IPL and R.H, Bi An added a bald emoticon after every sentence he said.
[IPL. The other shore: We just finished the training match with Lawman in the morning, 4:1, they are 4, we are 1[head bald.jpg]]
[Timeless: awesome]
[IPL. The other shore: It doesn’t matter, just fight, anyway, sooner or later [head bald.jpg]]
[IPL. The other shore: I don’t care, I’m just worried that Xu will be nervous before the game [head bald.jpg]]
[Timeless: Prepare a few more decompression videos for him to watch, it is said to be effective]
Everyone was busy with the water, when the doorbell rang. Old Tan thought it was a courier, opened the door and stretched out his hand to receive the courier, only to find a lady in her thirties standing in front of her, followed by a man in a suit, who was carrying a bunch of branded goods. Shopping Bag.
Old Tan was taken aback, and asked, “Are you…?”
The lady smiled and said, “I’m Shi Du’s mother, and this is the driver at home.”
Old Tan asked, “Is that my real mother?”
Shi Mu blinked: “Huh?”
Lao Tan gave full play to his advantages as an R.H courtesan: “I thought you were his sister.”
Lao Tan has seen two mothers in R.H for so long, Shine’s mother and Timeless’s mother. If Shine’s mother is a gentle and elegant intellectual mother, then Timeless’s mother is a bright and luxurious lady’s mother. It stands to reason that Timeless’s mother is also in her forties, but she can’t tell it at all.
No wonder many people say that handsome men are like mothers.
When Shi’s mother heard the words, she immediately smiled. Old Tan enthusiastically invited her in, turned his head and shouted towards the living room: “Timeless, your mother is here!”
Yu Zhaohan and Shi Du stood up together. Shi Du thought of seeing Yu’s mother’s idiot, judging others by himself, thinking that Yu Zhaohan was flustered, but he didn’t expect him to be calm and calm, and even looked forward to it: “It’s just right, I’ll go say hello to Auntie. “
Seeing Yu Zhaohan’s calmness, Qi Xian was surprised: “Have you already passed the clear road in front of your parents?”
Shi Du scratched his head: “I don’t know how to describe it.”
When Shi’s mother walked into the living room, she saw that several of her son’s teammates looked good one by one, and the ways of looking good were different. The hunk Zhengtai long-haired boy and the big beauty greeted her one after another, and she suddenly became happy.
Shi Du looked at his mother who was only on his shoulder, and said helplessly, “Mom, what are you doing here? I told you not to come.”
Shi’s mother blamed: “If I don’t come again, your father will really cancel your inheritance.” She was speaking to her son, but she looked at Yu Zhaohan, thinking that this child is too eye-catching, ” Xiaodu, is this your teammate too?”
Shi Du said, “It’s the captain.”
Shi Mu smiled and said: “It turned out to be the captain. It’s hard work for the captain to take care of our family.”
“It’s not hard, Auntie.” Yu Zhaohan smiled lightly, “Shi Du and I take care of each other.”
Yu Zhaohan’s smile stunned everyone. No one can refuse the flower of Gaoling who will smile at you, and Shimu is no exception.
Her affection for Yu Zhaohan was immediately full, and she said softly, “Auntie doesn’t know what you like to eat, so she bought a lot of fruits, and I asked the driver to move them in for you.”
Jiang Di said, “I’ll help.”
Shi’s mother didn’t forget the business, and said to her son: “Xiaodu, talk to mom alone?”
“Captain, let’s go together.” Shi Du said, “Captain knows everything about me.”
Shi Mu was a little surprised: “Okay.”
The three of them came to the meeting room, and Yu Zhaohan poured a glass of water for Shi’s mother: “Auntie, please use it.”
Yu Zhaohan’s generosity and decency made Shi Du realize once again how naive he was when he met his mother-in-law. Shi Mu took the water with a smile: “Thank you Captain.”
Yu Zhaohan couldn’t help twitching his ears when he heard an elder whose facial features were five points similar to Shi Du’s calling him “Small Captain”.
Shimu took a sip of her saliva and said, “Xiaodu, I have already applied for a deferral of admission for you. After you finish this season, it will not be too late to report to the school.”
Yu Zhaohan was slightly taken aback.
Shi Du’s expression also changed: “What do you mean?”
“I know you’re angry at your father for backtracking. He promised to give you two years to work professionally, but he forced you to study abroad before the time came. I apologize to you on behalf of your father.” Shi Mu smiled, “But it’s fine now, your mother, I have already convinced your father, he agrees that you will enter school after finishing this season.”
Yu Zhaohan lowered his eyes.
Shi Du said coolly: “It’s none of my business if he agreed, I didn’t agree.”
“But we had an agreement before, just fight for two years…”
“It was my father who repented first.”
“He knows he’s wrong now, and he agrees to follow the original agreement. Xiaodu, you have to think about it for me. If you keep arguing with your father like this, the worst is your mother and me. Look, I’m in vain The hair has grown out.” Shi’s mother said pitifully, “Mom, please.”
Time Du: “…”
Seeing that her son was unmoved, Shi’s mother turned to Yu Zhaohan for help: “Little Captain, help me persuade him.”
When Yu Zhaohan opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was a little hoarse: “Auntie, he wants to win the championship.”
Shi Mu hurriedly said: “Auntie knows, but aren’t you guys very strong this season, you will definitely win the championship, right?”
Yu Zhaohan glanced at Shi Du, and said in a business-like tone: “The team and I will respect Timeless’ personal wishes.”
“It’s a big deal, I promise you, if you don’t win the championship this season, I’ll talk to your dad again and ask him to give you an extra year, is that okay?” Shi’s mother took a big step back, “Don’t quarrel with your son at home. , don’t you really want mom and dad?”
Time Du: “…”
Shi’s mother still didn’t get an affirmative answer from her son in the end, but she could feel that Shi Du’s attitude was not as tough as before. Who knows whose son is, Shi Du has always been soft-hearted but not tough, no matter how many times she takes pity on her, his son will always soften his heart.
Shi Du sent his mother to the airport, and went there and back for three or four hours. After returning to the base, everyone else fell asleep, except Yu Zhaohan who was still in the training room alone.
Shi Du quietly watched him play games from the side. Yu Zhaohan played black swan, which he was best at. Even knowing that his boyfriend may retire early, his sniper rifle is still very stable, with an average of two shots and one headshot, which is pleasing to the eye.
Shi Du knew that even if Shine was crying, he wouldn’t let his marksmanship be affected by tears.
At the end of the round, Yu Zhaohan won the best match without any surprise. He quit the game, raised his head and stared at Shi Du silently for a while, then opened his arms: “Hug.”
Shi Du immediately leaned over and picked him up, Yuyu’s favorite koala hug.
“If R.H wins the championship, Shi Du will retire.” Yu Zhaohan leaned on his shoulder and spoke slowly, “Then after you retire…”
Shi Du blurted out: “I don’t want to retire.”
After finishing speaking, Yu Zhaohan didn’t respond yet, but Shi Du himself “fucked” irritably.
What he said was “I don’t want to retire” instead of “I won’t retire”. Does this mean that he subconsciously feels that he may not be able to give 100% commitment.
“Okay.” Yu Zhaohan thought for a while, then changed his words: “If one day we have to separate, will you have a good long-distance relationship with me?”
Among the novels Yu Zhaohan has read, many have plots of going abroad. Going abroad often means that a couple will break up and break up. He doesn’t understand, and he doesn’t want to break up with Shi Du.
If they can’t stick together, it’s good to have a long-distance relationship. It’s not like he can’t afford a plane ticket to go abroad. When Shi Du finished his studies and came back, they could still stick together.
Shi Du hugged Yu Zhaohan even tighter, and said in a hoarse voice, “…Yes.”
Yu Zhaohan was healed with a brief one-word promise. He raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said optimistically, “That’s good, I’m not sad.”
But Shi Du became sad, his chest was pounding, as if he was hit by a shield.
He knew that Yu Zhaohan had been used to separation in R.H for so long. Yu Zhaohan experienced the death of the captain he relied on the most; after the former boss of R.H was in trouble, he arranged the transfer and retirement for the teammates who wanted to leave one by one; he knew that Qi Xian had a hand injury and only had one season left in his career. It is also crying, and after crying, face the reality calmly.
Not only Shine got used to it, but Yuyu also accepted the setting of [Anyone may leave her].
Yu Zhaohan was aware of his family’s affairs, and perhaps he was ready when he confirmed the relationship with him—not to break up with him, but to have a good long-distance relationship with him.
But he didn’t want to. What he likes is the clingy coquette. If he can’t get clingy anymore, who should the coquettish woman act to.
“Speaking of how to talk about long-distance relationships, Shi Du, do you know? How many WeChat messages a day, and how often is it better to video? Also, if it’s a long-distance relationship, I can’t keep it up.” Yu Zhaohan seemed to be talking about it. Asking him, it seemed like he was talking to himself, talking endlessly, “When I have time, I will learn how to make out with you through video.
Time Du: “…”
