The King's ReturnCh230 - Visit

translator: Oyen  editor: Ciel

Qiu Zongping stayed with Yuan Xi in the hospital all night. Having not slept well, he looked a little tired. Yuan Xi didn’t look very good either due to his hangover, and the silence resulted in an awkward atmosphere in the ward. What made Yuan Xi even more depressed was the fact that he needed to go to the toilet rather urgently, but his left leg was covered in plaster. He was too embarrassed to ask Qiu Zongping for help, so he could only hold it back, his face flushing red. dPEX6u

Seeing him flush, Qiu Zongping was concerned. “Are you uncomfortable?”

Yuan Xi coughed. “No… I’m just hungry.”

“Then, I’ll buy you some food.” Qiu Zongping stood up.

“Okay,” Yuan Xi immediately nodded. “Buy me some steamed buns.” QC4az8

After sending Qiu Zongping away, Yuan Xi struggled to get out of the bed. Unfortunately, his left leg was covered in plaster, making it difficult to move. Holding onto the edge of the bed for support, Yuan Xi stood up on his right leg, and attempted to hop into the bathroom… 

Pushing the door in, Qin Mo was greeted by this funny scene——Yuan Xi hopping forward on one leg, dragging his other leg behind him. 

At the moment of eye contact, Yuan Xi froze in place, looking awkwardly at Qin Mo. It took him a long while to recover his wits and offer a quiet explanation. “I … I want to go to the bathroom.”

“En,” Qin Mo nodded. “Do you need help?”

“No, no need.” Yuan Xi blushed.

Qin Mo put the fruit he bought on the bedside table, conveniently helping him open the bathroom door. Yuan Xi could only continue hopping into the bathroom in front of Qin Mo. Not long after, Qin Mo heard a loud ‘bang’ from inside the bathroom; obviously, Yuan Xi had knocked something over.

—— they hadn’t met for a few years, but Yuan Xi hadn’t changed, and was as foolish as ever.

Amused, Qin Mo sat by the bed, waiting for him to come out. ZfQer5

Yuan Xi stayed in the bathroom for a long time, having looked in the mirror and finding his appearance a little scary. His eyes were puffed up and swollen as if he’d just spent the entire night crying, his hair was as messy as a bird’s nest, his clothes were bloodstained, and to top it all off, he was limping. Would god Mo laugh at him? He would definitely laugh at him!

Dejected, Yuan Xi washed his face with cold water, before rinsing his mouth and combing his hair. Only then did he finally leave the bathroom.

Seeing Qin Mo calmly sitting by the bed, Yuan Xi hopped over. “God Mo, you, why are you here?”

“We’ve booked the noon tickets back to the Changsha,” Qin Mo replied. “Since there aren’t any competitions in the morning, I came to visit you.” 7XO1ey

Qin Mo helped Yuan Xi return to the bed, and poured him a cup of hot water. Touched, Yuan Xi asked, “God Mo, how do you know I was hospitalized?”

“So- so many people were present?” Yuan Xi was stunned.

Qin Mo immediately added another knife. “En. Not only does everyone know that something happened to you, everyone also heard you confess to Qiu Zongping.”

Yuan Xi: “………”

Yuan Xi was frightened by Qin Mo’s serious expression. Seeing that Qin Mo did not seem to be joking, he stammered out, “I really… Did I really talk nonsense in front of you?” oKMAR9

“Yes,” Qin Mo nodded. “You said: captain Qiu, don’t hate me. I didn’t mean to like you. I really don’t want to like…”

Flushing, Yuan Xi immediately interrupted Qin Mo. “I … I don’t remember.”

Seeing his regretful expression, Qin Mo couldn’t help smiling. “You feel embarrassed, don’t you?”

Looking down, Yuan Xi clenched his fingers tightly. S4bDH

He was really embarrassed. Not only was he taken to the hospital after drowning his sorrows in alcohol, but also confessed to Qiu Zongping while drunk, and it was even heard live by so many people. Could things be any worse?

Seeing Yuan Xi’s head droop, Qin Mo couldn’t help but reach out, gently rubbing the top of his head. “Actually, you don’t need to mind too much, and you don’t have to feel ashamed either. No matter whether it is me or Xiao Han, Chu Jianxin, Sang Jun, captain Qiu, or Xuewei, no one will laugh at you for this.”

“So, everyone knows…” Yuan Xi replied bitterly.

“So what if we know? There is nothing wrong with liking someone. No one will look down on you for it… unless you look down on yourself.” Qin Mo replied. qp2XEa

Yuan Xi lowered his head. After several long minutes of silence, he finally whispered, “God Mo, am I ridiculous?”

“You are a little silly.” Qin Mo paused for a few moments. “But I have never thought you ridiculous.”

Stunned, Yuan Xi looked up, only to meet an unexpectedly rare, gentle gaze from Qin Mo.

“You bear no malice to others, and have never hurt anyone. Everything you do is from your heart.” Qin Mo met Yuan Xi’s gaze squarely. “Yuan Xi, don’t despise yourself just because you like someone, or think yourself sad and ridiculous. In terms of your feelings, you like him, but have not forced him to do anything; in terms of the game, you have done everything a professional player ought to do… so, you don’t have to blame yourself at all.” PkTIUH

When he was young, Yuan Xi often went against Qin Mo and was scolded many times for it. At that time, he was not very sensible and wanted to prove that he was good. In fact, he liked and worshipped Qin Mo very much, so he wanted to prove himself in front of Qin Mo, but he was too awkward to say it. It was not until Qin Mo left that he hid and cried alone.

Now, three years have passed. The god Mo who had come back did not scold him like before, but instead comforted him gently by his hospital bed… 

Yuan Xi could no longer hide his upset after Qin Mo gently touched his head. Still, he didn’t know what sort of expression he should use when faced with this enlightened teacher.

At this moment, Qin Mo opened Weibo on his mobile phone, and showed Yuan Xi the post that had a forwarding volume exceeding six digits as of last night. dzl Qs

Qiu Zongping’s message had been forwarded and spread by many great gods. Qiu Zongping had taken the initiative to admit his mistake and help Yuan Xi explain, asking the fans to stop blaming Yuan Xi… 

Yuan Xi looked at this Weibo message in a complicated mood.

“Qiu Zongping is at least a righteous person. He has a sense of responsibility, but his personality is too cold to deal with feelings,” Qin Mo explained. “I scolded him last night, and he figured out what to do. If you want to stay in the Sky team, play well with him in the future. If you feel too stressed to face him, you can also choose to go back to Miracle and play with xiao Chen. There are many ways to handle this. You don’t have to push yourself into a dead end and worry every day.”

Holding back the bitterness in his heart, Yuan Xi took a deep breath and tried to  maintain a calm tone. “Don’t worry, god Mo. My feelings for Qiu Zongping are only infatuation… just give it some time. I have already decided to let go. After a while, this emotion will fade.” Q3G5OK

Qin Mo nodded, choosing not to expose his clumsy lie. “If you afford it, then just let it go. It’s very good that you can think of it in this way.”

In fact, Qin Mo came to see Yuan Xi before he left because he would not see Yuan Xi for a while. Yuan Xi’s leg fracture was not serious, but it would take at least a month of rehabilitation if he wanted to remove the plaster cast. In one month’s time, the three-players competition would have ended, and the final league competition would be here.

Yuan Xi had to adjust his state the best he could within this month. Sky was currently ranked in sixth place. If Yuan Xi and Qiu Zongping didn’t cooperate well, in the future, Sky’s rank would continue to fall, or perhaps even fall to the bottom, facing the fate of being eliminated.

With Qin Mo’s current position, he couldn’t offer them any help, but he could at least give Yuan Xi some encouragement, and allow him to let go and walk out from the dark corner he had been trapped in. TRFxNy

Even though Yuan Xi was stubborn, he had always respected Qin Mo in his heart, and regarded Qin Mo as his master. Qin Mo’s encouragement was a source of strength for Yuan Xi.

Facts had also proved that Qin Mo knew Yuan Xi well, and did the right thing by telling him about his embarrassing drunk confession to Qiu Zongping last night, preventing him from continuing to act. While it was tantamount to uncovering his wound and exposing it to the sun, this direct manner of handling things allowed Yuan Xi to relax more easily.

—— No matter how miserable things were, it couldn’t have been worse than last night, right?

Anyway, everything was over. The person who should have been thrown was thrown, and his ugly affairs had also been personally witnessed by so many great gods. What else did he have to worry about? pbfmGO

Next, he would get back to his original state and play well for his teammates.

By the time Qiu Zongping came back, Qin Mo had already left. Seeing Yuan Xi’s favourite oranges on the bedside table, Qiu Zongping was stunned. “Did someone drop by just now?”

“En,” Yuan Xi replied. “God Mo’s plane leaves at noon, so he came to visit me before going to the airport.” qcfANM

After discovering that Yuan Xi’s mood had stabilized, Qiu Zongping was relieved and handed him his favorite steamed buns and hot soybean milk.

“The result of the Sky team is now sixth place, right?” Yuan Xi spoke while eating. “It is ranked last among all the club teams.”

“En,” Qiu Zongping nodded.

“I won’t be able to play,” Yuan Xi whispered. “If you are banned, the three-player lineup in Sky can only be handed over to Xuewei, and our results are likely to decline.” k9PNda

Qiu Zongping was silent for a few moments. “Don’t think about it, I will arrange matters.”

Suddenly, Yuan Xi raised his head, staring Qiu Zongping in the eye. “Give me a month…”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Qiu Zongping: “En?”

“I cannot move my legs, but my hands are fine,” Yuan Xi replied seriously. “I can train in the training room in a wheelchair. If you are free, come practice with me. Give me a month’s time, in the final professional league, we must come up with the strongest double summoners lineup.” V8uBXh

His eyes sparkled and were full of self-confidence. At that moment, Qiu Zongping seemed to see the teenager who had confidently said: ‘I will definitely be the strongest summoner after god Ling and god Mo in the future.’

—— The strongest double summoners lineup?

—— Yes, although their partnership was not as strong as Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng, they had also participated in the World Competition many times!

—— Now, after switching to a new project, what had the former ace partners become? Had they really become a second-rate team that could be casually abused by other teams? M5c 6x

Taking a deep breath, Qiu Zongping stretched out his hand. “Okay, for our strongest partnership, let’s work hard together.”

Nodding, Yuan Xi gently shook Qiu Zongping’s hand.

This time, he just held the other person’s hand as a partner and teammate, replying him seriously. “Let’s work hard together.”

Looking at each other, Yuan Xi finally saw a familiar trust in Qiu Zongping’s gaze. 73fsMk

Returning to their original standpoints, and be the best partners. This time, Yuan Xi would go all out!
