After the end of Without Fire and Mojue’s match, the ranking on the scoreboard changed again. Without Fire dropped to third place and Mojue rose to second place.
Because Dynasty got 2:1 in today’s match and only got 2 points, while Mojue got 4 points, the gap between them narrowed to 5 points. In this way, if Mojue wanted to return to first place position, they must win Dynasty 2:0 in tomorrow’s match—— he would get 4 points and Dynasty’s points would be deducted 4 points to close the gap.
Qin Mo knew very well that it was too difficult to win 2:0 against Dynasty team.
Dynasty’s captain Chu Jianxin was currently the strongest front row in the league; Sang Jun, as an assassin, was not much worse than Xiao Han in strength, but his tactical consciousness was also the top level of the league; In addition, Lin Yao’s potential had been thoroughly stimulated, and Qin Mo’s most promising newcomer had now become the main output of Dynasty. Wen Hua, an old player, had been in a stable condition, and the healer level of Dynasty was also good. Several other newcomers had made rapid progress. On the whole, there were no obvious flaws in Dynasty team.
To deal with such a team with changeable tactics and a comprehensive lineup, the tactical game between the captains of both sides was the primary factor to win. In addition, every player must concentrate on the game and reduce mistakes. Otherwise, once a minor mistake was caught by the opponent, it might lead to a breakthrough and a total collapse in the team.
On the way to take the team members to dinner, Qin Mo kept his head down and thought deeply.
Looking at his serious side profile, Xiao Han couldn’t help leaning against his ears and whispered with concern. “Are you thinking about the game with Dynasty tomorrow?”
Qin Mo nodded. “En.”
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. It doesn’t matter if we don’t get back to the first place.” Xiao Han replied. “In the team competition stage, the scoreboard will be reshuffled. Anyway, the gap is not big now, and it will be the same to get it back at a later stage.”
Looking back at Xiao Han, Qin Mo replied. “I don’t think about winning the first place, I’m just thinking about what kind of lineup Sang Jun will have tomorrow.”
“Don’t you know him well enough now?” Xiao Han asked.
“I can’t see through him, but he knows me very well…” Qin Mo was helpless. “Don’t you think Sang Jun is hiding too deep?”
Silence for a moment, Xiao Han nodded in agreement. “Indeed, so deep that I cannot see the bottom.”
During the last competition in Shanghai, Yuan Xi was depressed and went out for a drink with Lin Yao. As a result, he was sent to the hospital in a car accident. Qiu Zongping, who was used for being calm, angrily scolded Lin Yao. Chu Jianxin was beside him laughing, but Sang Jun was calm, and his mood didn’t fluctuate at all.
In theory, Lin Yao was a member of Dynasty, and he caused an accident. As the vice captain, Sang Jun should have been worried. He was young, but he could stay calm in that case.

Later, the drunken Yuan Xi was confused and confessed to Qiu Zongping. Chu Jianxin opened his mouth and looked shocked. Lin Yao and Zhou Xuewei who were present at that time also looked awkward, but Sang Jun seemed to hear nothing. He stood quietly as usual, and his expression did not change at all.

However, after Chu Jianxin and Sang Jun created Dynasty team together and led the team to the Peerless Jianghu league, Xiao Han found that he had indeed looked down on this man before.
The strength of this person’s heart had reached the point where nothing could shake him.
It was precisely because of his firm belief that he could be so indifferent on the surface. When others made fun of him, he laughed and accepted it willingly, but no one could guess his thoughts. He was like a calm lake, without a ripple. It seemed that there was no danger, but it was bottomless. The ability hidden in the depths of the lake was enough to completely devour those who looked down on him.
Qin Mo: “At present, among the commanders of the major teams in the league, Sang Jun is the one that I can’t see through the most. I always feel that he has experienced a lot of things and suppressed a lot of emotions. He seems to be joking with Chu Jianxin all day long, making the atmosphere of the whole team in Dynasty very relaxed… But I have noticed that there is no smile in his eyes.”
“What do you mean?” Xiao Han frowned slightly.
Qin Mo explained. “He doesn’t like joking, but he often cooperates with his team members’ jokes. Obviously, he attaches great importance to this team and will do his best for Dynasty team, even if it is a disguise and not his true self… Can you understand what I said?”
Xiao Han nodded. “In other words, his acting skills are very good, and he keeps a lot of emotions in his heart, right?”
“En, that’s why I can’t see him through.” Qin Mo paused and added. “I specially observed Dynasty team’s competition for a period of time. Sang Jun used a lot of combinations in the three-players competition, and there was no rule at all. He would adjust the lineup according to different opponents. Therefore, I simply don’t speculate on his arrangement, just follow my own ideas and let him solve my lineup.”
“It’s straightforward enough,” Xiao Han praised. “ Just like playing Go, it will be easier for you to drop the ball first and let him solve the game.”
“You still know about Go?” Qin Mo looked at Xiao Han with some surprise.
Xiao Han replied. “Understand a little.”
“How far do you understand it?” Qin Mo asked.
“I know there are black and white pieces in Go. You can take the opponent’s pieces. In the end, whoever has more pieces wins.” Xiao Han replied.
Qin Mo: “…”
This level was called ‘Understand a little’? It was really too ‘little’, only knowing that he could take the pieces, if he didn’t know the most basic rule, he was just a complete layman.
Paused, Qin Mo replied. “I know how to play Go. I’ll teach you when I’m free.”
As he was talking, there was a sudden scream outside. Since Qin Mo was too close to Xiao Han when the car braked suddenly, he leaned forward and kissed Xiao Han’s face.
“A lot of people are here, Xiao Mo, don’t be so enthusiastic.” Xiao Han chuckled.
Qin Mo’s face suddenly turned red. Fortunately, they were sitting in the last row. The players didn’t notice this scene. Qin Mo immediately sat upright and looked out of the window. He changed the topic casually and asked. “What’s going on outside?”
Xiao Han also opened the curtains to look out, only to see a group of girls surrounding a car. Someone rolled down the car window and smiled at everyone. “It’s getting late. Go back quickly. Give me the book and I’ll sign it for you!”
“God Lu!”
“Hello little god Lu!”
“Xiao Lu, I give you chocolates!”
“There’s also matcha cake that you love to eat!”
“This is my homemade cookie for you!”
Then, Xiao Han saw several girls stuffing a lot of snacks through the window.
Xiao Han held his forehead and felt helpless. “God Chuan’s apprentice probably came to the scene to watch the game today and was known by his fans. The fans block him and give him snacks.”
Qin Mo also took a look at it and replied. “The fans really know how to fancy him, Lu Xiang should be very happy to receive so much food.”
“If fans want to give you something, what do you want to receive most?” Xiao Han asked curiously.
Silence for a moment, Qin Mo replied. “They all have their own lives. I don’t want them to pay anything for me. I won’t accept them even if they give me something.”
When he was young, he was proud of his fans for giving gifts on his birthday. He even showed off his fans in front of Xiao Han. But after so many years, Qin Mo had long been indifferent to his popularity. Even if no one liked him, he would continue to do what he wanted to do.
With Xiao Han by his side, he was already very satisfied.
Lu Xiang was a retired player, but because Lu Xiang was a foodie, he had been active on Weibo to post a variety of delicacies, and he had a close relationship with fans. Fans knew that he came to watch the game today and took a lot of food to feed him, this scene looked very warm.
However, Qin Mo would not appear in public like Lu Xiang after his retirement. He wanted to buy a house and live in seclusion with Xiao Han in some second-third tier cities with good air, living a peaceful and stable life. He just didn’t know if Xiao Han would be willing or not.
It was rare to see Qin Mo looking at himself in a daze, Xiao Han couldn’t help but smile. He reached out and gently scratched Qin Mo’s nose. “Why are you always thinking about something on your mind these two days? Can you tell me what you’re thinking?”
Looking away, Qin Mo replied. “I wonder what it will be like after we retire.”
Xiao Han smiled. “It’s too early to think about this now, right?! We can fight for at least another two or three years.”
“I just saw a lot of retired great gods appear recently, and I feel a little emotional. In the future, we will have this day.” Qin Mo replied.
“Indeed,” Xiao Han touched his chin. “I saw Emperor Xiao and god Lun last week, and I saw captain Shao and Xiao Lu this week. These people have really disappeared for a long time… What do you think will be like after we retire in the future?”
Thinking for a while, Qin Mo replied seriously. “I want to buy a house in a beautiful place and raise a few kittens and puppies…”
“It sounds very leisurely, but isn’t it too lonely to be alone?” Xiao Han asked.
Qin Mo turned around and replied. “There’s still you.”
Xiao Han was stunned, then smiled and gently held Qin Mo’s hand. “Yes, there is me.”
Although Xiao Mo would not say those corny love words, such sincere and simple expressions could always touch Xiao Han’s heart instantly.
——I have you in my future.
Nothing is a happier promise than this.
E-sports players retire so early, they’ll still have a long life ahead of them after competitions. They are co-owners of mojue. Even if Dragon song can take over operations they still need to be present. But it would be nice to settle down and start their own little family when they don’t have to spend year round training/competing.
Yes, esport players can’t play for a long time, but I think they will be like Ling Xuefeng and Li Cangyu after they retire, living a leisure life~
Sang Jun is really good at hiding his emotions! I wonder how he will be when he lose control over it… 👀 Hehe can‘t wait for his couple with Chu Jianxin~
Awww, Qin Mo already plans their future.
Thank you for the chapter 💜💜💜
Maybe he will, in front of Chu Jianxin later (?) 😆
Yes, he already plans it~
You’re welcome~ ❤
what words are better than ‘i love you’? it’s ‘i have you in my future’! that was so sweet!!
