Mu Wanwan's head crashed for a moment.

Immediately, her heart beat faster, her face was flushed, her throat and eyes were pounding—

What, what?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Pei Lu took a small step forward.

"...Look, Xiao said he likes you, but he's only met you a few times, and he doesn't even have your contact information."

Mu Wanwan's head twitched and she replied, "Actually, I played games with him a long time ago."

Pei Lu's eyes sank immediately.

He had never liked anyone, so he didn't know the correct way to express it, but he did...don't like other men getting too close to Mu Wanwan.

"Can't you think about me first," he paused, "or you've already thought about it and thought you couldn't?"

Mu Wanwan felt that her face was about to catch fire.

It took her a long time to speak: "Lu Shen, feelings like this are unreasonable."

Is this a rejection?

Pei Lu choked and hurriedly said, "Actually, I was joking..."

Mu Wanwan: "I haven't considered anyone else..."

…………

The two were stunned, looked at each other, and winked at each other.

Then Qi Qi digested each other's words.

Mu Wanwan's ears receded from the heat with the speed of thunder!

She opened her eyes wide, and it took a long time to spit out a sentence: "You..."

Pei Lu also reacted quickly: "You didn't think about what other people mean... No, no, the joke I just said was not a joke, it wasn't a joke, can you say it again, I didn't understand..."

When the two were glued to each other, a group of people came over, and the person at the front asked with a loud voice.

"What are you two doing here? I haven't seen you come back after waiting for a long time," Xiaoroubao asked. "Are you talking about tongue twisters? I'm dizzy listening to any jokes or jokes."

Mu Wanwan hurriedly turned around and left: "Nothing!"

Pei Lu just wanted to follow, but was stopped by Brother Yang: "Xiaolu, your brother asked you to call him."

"Got it." Pei Lu didn't look back.

"He asked you to call now, saying it was urgent," Brother Yang stopped him. "Hurry up and call first. He called you and you didn't answer. We'll be waiting for you in the car."

Pei Lu could only stop in his tracks.

The ponytails of the people in front were twitching, looking really angry.

Pei Hai just picked up his brother's phone, but the other party's voice was weak.

"Brother, is something wrong?"

"Well, what's wrong with your voice," Pei Hai asked, "Didn't you just win the game?"

"It's nothing," Pei Lu covered his face with his hands, "I just think I'm too stupid."

Pei Hai: "Well, do you know why, because you haven't been to class for too long."

"...I have a leave of absence."

"I asked someone for help to order it, and the teacher grabbed the bag," Pei Haidao, "Why, do you want to join the company with a high school degree in the future?"

Pei Lu's head hurt slightly: "Brother, I didn't say it, the company only needs you."

"No matter what, I can't even skip class, right?" Pei Hai also had a headache, but it wasn't that he wanted to discipline his younger brother, but that the school's phone number went to Pei's mother, so he couldn't care less.

Pei Lu said, "I see, I will pay attention."

"The condition for promising to let you go to a career at that time is that you must graduate smoothly," Pei Haidao. "Don't break your promise, otherwise it will be difficult for your parents to do it."

Pei Lu responded: "I understand."

"Go home for dinner when you are free. Mom has been talking about you recently."

"Okay."

"That's alright, it's time, you go to dinner, I still have work here."

"Ah, you too."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Lu tucked the phone into his pocket and strode to the parking lot.

A staff lounge in the backstage of the game.

Miaomiao was refilling her lipstick when the door behind her was opened.

She saw the person in the mirror and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why are you here?"

Chen He closed the door and sat on a chair casually.

"Why didn't you answer my call?"

"We broke up." Miaomiao closed the lipstick lid and put it in her bag.

"Why?" Chen Hehe said, "What's the reason for breaking up, because I quit TS, or because I have no money?"

"No," Miaomiao walked over to him, carrying her bag, "I just don't like you anymore, Xiaohe."

"...Then what about the money I spent for you before?"

"Do you want me to give it back to you?" Miaomiao looked surprised, "You're not that kind of person."

Chen He gritted his teeth, feeling that he had lost all face.

He really didn't give Miaomiao much, but he was really tight lately.

He has never been a money saver. When he was young, he would prefer to gamble. Later, he was caught by Brother Yang. Before joining TS, he gave birth to abstinence. Now that he quit TS, it was like being released...

Then even the little money that QAM prepaid in advance was lost and the debt was repaid.

If he doesn't pay it back this month, then he doesn't have to think about the summer split, and even QAM will make him lose money. If the other party exposes him, then he will even cut off his career as a professional player.

That's why he went to Pei Lu to borrow money, but the other party didn't let go and was not willing to lend him at all.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Miaomiao was satisfied - she had a lot of boyfriends, most of them were respectable people, and they generally didn't like to make trouble after breaking up.

She smiled, said goodbye, and closed the door before going out.

The small meat buns are a little awkward.

Their seats in the car have always been the default layout. The co-pilot, Brother Yang, in the middle, he, Brother Hu and Mu Tou are huddled together, and behind them are their bot duo.

Looking at the person sitting next to him, he finally couldn't help but say, "Xiao Wan, why are you sitting here? Don't you usually sit in the back?"

Mu Wanwan sat by the window in the middle position: "I want to change my position."

Pei Lu came back and saw Brother Hu in the back seat. He was silent for a while, and then poked Xiaoroubao: "Baozi, you go and sit in the back."

The little meat bun muttered, and slipped to the back.

Because there was still wood sitting outside, after Pei Lu sat down, their shoulders touched each other.

In the ten minutes that Pei Lu was away, Mu Wanwan's mood had changed countless times.

She thought about it carefully, Pei Lu was not a person who would joke about this kind of thing.

So she ran to ask Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu replied, "I'm afraid that if you refuse, my friends won't be able to do it."

At first glance, she thought it made sense, but just now... she turned her face and lost her face, and she didn't stop after Pei Lu called out countless times behind her.

In fact, at this moment, not only was she not angry, but she was a little fortunate - calm down and think about it, in her current state, she really can't guarantee what will happen after she agrees.

Isn't today's game a blowout?

"Are you angry?" Pei Lu turned his head and asked her.

Brother Yang turned his head: "What, what are you angry about? By the way, I just went to talk to the person in charge of the competition quotations, and the other party said that they would help to cut out the part of the lineup that you discussed. So can you save me in the future? Dim sum? I'm really embarrassed to find someone else every time!"

Mu Wanwan shook her head: "I'm not angry..."

Brother Yang continued to ask: "I'm not angry you just walked so fast? By the way, for the physical examination tomorrow morning, remember not to go to the toilet when you wake up early. The car will pick you up at the gate of the base at 8 o'clock, and you are not allowed to be late."

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Pei Lu didn't say any more.

Back at the base, everyone was in no mood to enjoy the joy of four consecutive victories. As soon as they entered the gate, Brother Yang caught them and played two training games with the second team. Because the second team is going to participate in a small game, it happens that both sides can practice their hands together.

It's already two in the morning after the training match, and we have to get up early tomorrow for a medical examination, and everyone went back to their rooms early.

Mu Wanwan had just finished taking a shower when she heard a ding-dong sound from her mobile phone.

Pei Lu: "...Are you asleep?"

Mu Wanwan's heart skipped a beat.

Night: "I didn't sleep!"

After sending it out, Mu Wanwan trotted to the bed, sat on the head of the bed with his knees in his arms, holding his phone and waiting for a reply.

She saw that "In progress" was displayed on the top of the screen for most of the session, but she didn't receive the message for a long time.

Why haven't you returned.

Shouldn't she use an exclamation point?

Should she send another emoji...

After half a day, the other party finally sent a message.

Pei Lu: "I have a medical examination tomorrow, so don't stay up late."

? ? ?

Night: "...Oh."

This mood, ups and downs, is really unbearable.

After she replied to this sentence, she switched to Lin Jiu's chat page.

Late: "Pei Lu seems to have confessed to me today. The key is that he pretended to be dead after his confession and is still talking to me about what should I do in my daily life."

Lin Jiu: "...Did you eat the punctuation key in your phone? Then what are you going to do, accept it?"

Wan: "I don't know. I made a mistake in the game today. I accept that I'm afraid I won't be able to play well, but..."

Late: "Woo woo woo, is it true that e-sports can't have love? [Self-Holding and Weeping.jpg]"

Lin Jiu: "OK, wait a moment, I'll hang up when I go back to the city, and talk to you again."

Wan: "...Forget it, you'd better play the game, don't cheat others."

Lin Jiu: "Oh, that's 88."

Wan: "??? So heartless?"

Lin Jiu: "Actually, it's not like that. There are so many e-sports players who have girlfriends now. I'll play a group first, baby. I'll talk about it later."

As soon as Mu Wanwan closed the dialog box, she saw the message sent by Pei Luxin.

Pei Lu: "I can't have breakfast for the check-up tomorrow. What do you want to eat? I'll stop by after the check-up."

Night: "It's all right."

Just after sending it out, a voice call prompt suddenly came from WeChat, which startled her.

After seeing the caller, she was even more frightened.

What is Shark doing by calling her on WeChat at two in the middle of the night? ?

She hesitated for a while, but didn't answer.

Soon, the WeChat phone call came again, and it seemed that she would not give up if it woke her up.

Helpless, she could only pick up: "...Hello."

"Well," Shark said lightly, "sleep?"

"Not yet," Mu Wanwan paused and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Come up and play two games." On the other side of the phone, the sound of the other party's typing on the keyboard could still be heard, and it seemed that he was still playing games.

That's it?

"You can ask your teammates, I am now..."

"Why is it so difficult for you to play a game," Shark said, and suddenly chuckled, "Also, we almost became teammates a few years ago, so why didn't we delete friends before?"

Mu Wanwan said without blushing and heartbeat: "It's really just a mistake."

"Oh, now come up and line up two?"

"No, I'm going to sleep."

"Your team goes to bed so early."

"There's something going on tomorrow," Mu said late, not wanting to talk to the other side in detail, "I'm going to bed now, I'll hang up first."

After speaking, she simply hung up the phone neatly.

Although the sound insulation effect in the base is not bad, the phone ringing on WeChat is too loud, and the bed is placed so close to it that Pei Lu can still hear it vaguely, so she saw it as soon as she hung up the phone. Pei Lu's information.

Pei Lu: "It's so late, someone else is calling you on WeChat?"

Late: "Well, Shark."

This time there was really no movement there, not even the words that were being typed.

After a long while, there was a sound of a door opening next door, followed by a knock on her door.

Mu Wanwan opened the door, and Pei Lu stood outside the door with a box of candy in his hand.

He handed it over: "This is... yesterday's candy, it's past twelve o'clock, I forgot, I'm sorry."

Mu Wanwan took it over: "Thank you."

Pei Lu stood there and didn't move.

After a long time, he asked, "Can we continue this afternoon's topic?"

Mu Wanwan was startled.

"I like you, I'm not kidding."

Pei Lu said in one breath, "I'm telling you that I don't want you to accept me immediately, at least... I have to let you know, and then give me a chance to compete with others."

"...Wait," Mu Wanwan interrupted him, enduring the throbbing in his heart, "Compete for what? Compete with whom? Shark and Xiao? But they don't like me... You misunderstood."

Pei Lu may be a little clumsy in front of the girl he likes, but elsewhere, his heart is clear.

Shark will not be interested in people or things outside the game. Now that he is on their team, Xu Hao can't poach him, but he still wants to join him. It is impossible for him to have other ideas.

Not to mention Xiao, seeing Mu Wanwan, his eyes were bright, and he was looking for his contact information every three days.

"Is it a misunderstanding," Pei Lu said, "I like you, it has nothing to do with them."

Mu Wanwan's heart was beating wildly, the words of promise poured into her throat, back and forth, but she didn't say it.

She was almost suffocated in her heart - sure enough, in e-sports, food is the original sin.

It's because I'm too lazy, so I expect him to say that I like it, but when I really hear it, my worries are heavier than joy.

After a long while, when Pei Lu's heart almost fell to the bottom, she slowly opened her mouth.

She chose her words carefully, and said word by word: "Xiaolu Shen, I came to TS because I wanted to play the game well, but in four games, I made two mistakes, once with a fever, once with the wrong hero... You can After I picked the wrong hero, I immediately came up with countermeasures, and the game was almost zero mistakes, but I couldn't, I couldn't control my emotions at all."

"...Let's not say anything else, just say that after being targeted in the first round, I actually can't stand it. In this case, I may... can't take care of other things."

Silence for a moment.

"It's my fault this time," Pei Lu said. "I've been in the team for two years, and you've only been two months. It's different. It's my lack of thought that made you scolded. I'm sorry."

Mu Wanwan shook her head: "No, it's my problem, so now I..."

Not daring to agree, and not wanting to refuse, Mu Wanwan felt that she was really bad.

Pei Lu: "It doesn't matter."

Mu Wanwan was stunned.

"During this time, I will help you adjust your mentality. After you get used to everything, please be sure... to consider me, and," Pei Lu doesn't care whether he is taking advantage of the danger at this time, just put what he wants to say Say it, "Better not get too close to Shark and the others... I'm afraid they will dig you."

Mu Wanwan's heart warmed.

"Okay." She responded without thinking, "...I still have a contract with TS, they can't poach me."

She thought of something, and reiterated, "And I don't like Lu Zheng, let alone any network management. I just want to play a good game with you. Shark and Xiao... are not in my consideration."

Pei Lu's eyes lit up.

His name was not in the words.

The first time liked a girl, he was not skilled enough and seemed to put her in a predicament.

But fortunately, she looked like she should... didn't hate him.

Pei Lu didn't dare to be too happy, but he couldn't control it in his heart. After saying these words, it was like the ventilation pipe that had been blocked for a long time in his mind was suddenly unclogged, and it was very smooth at this time.

"That's good..." He coughed lightly, fearing that he was too happy, "Well, then you can go to sleep, and you will have a medical examination tomorrow."

Mu Wanwan suppressed her emotions and said hello. When the door closed, she paused again.

She had a small head: "Xiaolu Shen, I learn things very quickly."

Pei Lu smiled: "Well, I know, we will start practicing tomorrow."

Mu Wanwan hurriedly asked, "How to practice?"

"I have a solution, but I don't know if you can..."

"Yes!" Mu Wanwan hurriedly replied, "Any kind of practice is fine, the best is the quick-fix method - but that kind of practice doesn't seem to last long?"

In the dim corridor, Pei Lu's little tiger tooth was particularly bright.

"Don't worry..."

A click, a crisp door opening, simply broke all the atmosphere.

Xiaoroubao rubbed his eyes and walked out, looking at them suspiciously: "What are you two doing? In the middle of the night, I thought there were mice in the base."

The two of them turned their gazes together, and the atmosphere was awkward for a moment. Mu Wanwan immediately said in front of Pei Lu, "We're discussing the hero combination to be practiced tomorrow!"

Xiaoroubao: "Oh, is the discussion over?"

"...It's over," Pei Lu looked back and said to the person in front of him, "Go to sleep, good night."

Mu Wanwan: "Well... good night."

The little meat bun not far away scratched his belly. Although it was inexplicable, he couldn't help but say: "Then I also... good night?"
