Sky team didn’t win any trophies in the first season of the league, which was unexpected by Yuan Xi.
After a whole year’s competition, all the players worked hard and didn’t get any trophies in the end. It must be hard for everyone.
And Yuan Xi, who dragged down the team, felt particularly uncomfortable.
After the award ceremony, the team members returned to Shanghai together. Yuan Xi went to the washroom at the airport, and happened to see Qin Mo standing in front of the sink. Yuan Xi was about to sneak away. As a result, Qin Mo looked back and looked directly at him.
Yuan Xi, who failed to escape, had to go over and greet. “God Mo… Cough, you are also the morning plane?”
He was really embarrassed to see Qin Mo. After all, Qin Mo knew that he liked Qiu Zongping, and he had seen him drunk and caught him confessing to Qiu Zongping in the hospital. It was really humiliating to think about it.
Qin Mo nodded. Seeing his awkward face, Qin Mo replied faintly. “This season has ended, don’t think too much, try harder next season.”
Yuan Xi lowered his head. “En, I know.”
Qin Mo patted his shoulder and replied. “Cheer up, I hope I can see the lively Yuan Xi next season.”
Leaving these words behind, he turned to go out. Yuan Xi stayed in place for a while until someone came in behind him, he quickly found an empty bathroom and closed the door.
The lively Yuan Xi?
At that time, Yuan Xi was really bold and even dared to confront god Mo face to face.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi’s eyes couldn’t help but feel a little hot. God Mo didn’t laugh at him, but encouraged him, but could he really return to his original liveliness?
Going back from the washroom, he saw Qiu Zongping was chatting with Xiao Han and Qin Mo. Qiu Zongping was calm and familiar with Twin Stars. The three of them had a good talk. Yuan Xi was embarrassed to go over and step in, so he ran to the corner silently and sat down with sister Zhou Xuewei.
Zhou Xuewei was browsing Weibo, and when she saw him coming, she put down her mobile phone and asked. “What are your plans for the vacation?”
Thinking about it, Yuan Xi replied. “I already booked a plane ticket. I want to go abroad and relax.”
“With whom, or you go alone?” Zhou Xuewei asked.
Yuan Xi scratched his head and replied. “Single dogs, of course, go alone.”
Zhou Xuewei smiled. “With your primary school level english, and only speak How are you, Thank you. Can you cope with going abroad alone?”
Yuan Xi blushed slightly and replied. “I have translation software with me, and the hotels are all booked online. They will send a car to pick me up at the airport.”
Zhou Xuewei was still not at ease. “Which country are you going to?”
“I will go to Bali.” Yuan Xi replied.
Thinking for a while, Zhou Xuewei replied. “That’s okay. There are many Chinese tourists in Bali, and there are many tour guides who can speak Chinese. Don’t get lost by yourself.”
“I won’t,” Yuan Xi smiled. “I’ll just stay in the hotel and have a look at the sea in my spare time.”
Just as the boarding announcement broadcasted, they stopped talking and walked into the gate together.
On the plane, Yuan Xi’s seat was just in a row with Qiu Zongping. The man sat beside him, which made his heart very uncomfortable. He had to pretend to sleep with his eyes closed as soon as he got on the plane, but how could he sleep? Although he said that he wanted to give up this relationship, and became a simple teammate in the future. But, he really liked this person, how could he let go by just saying it?
Yuan Xi closed his eyes, and his mind kept moving through the bits and pieces since he met Qiu Zongping…
At first, they were really good friends who talked about everything. When they were young, they trained seriously under god Mo’s guidance and were happy with each other’s progress. They studied tactics together and looked forward to the future together. That time was simple and happy, and Yuan Xi would habitually tell Qiu Zongping at the first time if he had any worries.
Later, Qin Mo retired and handed the vice captain to Qiu Zongping. Yuan Xi felt estranged and felt that Qiu Zongping had robbed his position, so he had a cold war with Qiu Zongping for a period of time.

Then, captain Yan retired, Qiu Zongping naturally became the third generation captain of Wind Colour, and Yuan Xi became the vice captain, but he always felt that Qiu Zongping was superior to him—— regardless of the level of the game, the popularity among fans, or the position in his teammates’ hearts, Qiu Zongping was better than him everywhere.

With the idea of winning the championship in the first season, he confidently took a few teammates to explore in the new game. But in the end, he wasn’t expected to be the captain at all. The new team was in a mess, and Qiu Zongping had to come and stabilise the scene at the critical moment. Had it not been for Qiu Zongping to bring a few potential newcomers to join, Sky team would not have been established so smoothly.
It was probably that time when he ran away angrily. After Qiu Zongping caught up with him in the heavy rain and urged him to go back, he transferred the captain to Qiu Zongping and gave the vice captain to Zhou Xuewei. He calmed down to train well, and he gradually understood his mind.
All these years, he had been so concerned about Qiu Zongping as captain, in fact, it was not that he wanted to be the captain, but… He cared too much about Qiu Zongping’s views.
He had already unconsciously put this person in his heart. Therefore, when he was inferior to the other party, he would feel very anxious and wanted to prove urgently that he was not worse than Qiu Zongping, and he had enough ability to stand beside Qiu Zongping…
All of this because he liked Qiu Zongping.
Liking someone meant he would care about that person’s opinion and his position in that person’s heart.
Yuan Xi suddenly found that from the beginning to the present, he had added a lot of scenes inexplicably like a fool. Whether it was against Qiu Zongping intentionally at that time, or later he was injured in a car accident, failed in a confession, or absent from the game… He tossed out so many troubles, but Qiu Zongping was actually innocent.
Qiu Zongping just didn’t like him back.
There was nothing wrong with liking someone, but there was nothing wrong with not liking someone.
He just went through a failed first love, and nothing more.
Thinking wildly along the way, like sitting on pins and needles, finally the plane landed and returned to the team, Yuan Xi immediately went to the dormitory to pack his luggage.
Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Qiu Zongping came to his bedroom door and asked. “Are you in a hurry to go back?”
Yuan Xi pretended to be calm and replied. “En, I booked a plane ticket to go out to play.”
“Can you postpone it tomorrow?” Qiu Zongping asked. “Tonight, the club arranged a party, and National Grace’s girls will participate, and god Ling will come over.”
It was not a secret that Ling Xuefeng became the owner of the National Grace club. Now Wind Colour and National Grace club were considered a family. Ling Xuefeng’s purpose of organizing this party was probably to let the players communicate with each other, just to put an end to the first league tournament.
On such an occasion, it would be unreasonable for Yuan Xi to be absent.
To Qiu Zongping’s inquiring gaze, Yuan Xi had to put down his luggage and replied, “I’ll wait until the party is over and leave tomorrow.”
The evening party was arranged in a hotel, and the manager directly booked a banquet hall, using a buffet style. All the players from the Wind Colour club were present, and the girls from National Grace club were also there, and the whole hall was very lively.
Soon, there was a burst of cheers at the door. Yuan Xi turned around and saw that Ling Xuefeng and Li Cangyu had arrived.
With the presence of the boss behind the scenes and the fact that both of them were seniors in the esports circle, the players naturally respected them and walked to the middle of the hall to meet them.
The scene quieted down tacitly. Ling Xuefeng picked up the microphone and said simply. “This party, on the one hand, is to make everyone familiar with each other; on the other hand, the first professional league of the Peerless Jianghu league is over, and the results of the first season have become a thing of the past. Everyone takes advantage of the holiday to relax, after the rest, and then take out the best form to prepare for next season.”
“Don’t be nervous,” Li Cangyu smiled and added. “After playing for a year, you are very tired. Let’s eat and play tonight!”
Cheers immediately came from the scene.
The results of both teams were not good this season, and no trophy was recorded. The players thought that the boss of the party would criticize everyone, but unexpectedly, both of them just let everyone relax to eat and drink, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. immediately took the plate and began to look for food.
The food prepared on the spot was very abundant, including various cakes, vegetarian dishes, seafood and fruits, which could meet all tastes.
Yuan Xi liked to eat sweet food very much, then carried the plate to look for the sweet. With a glance, and just discovered that the plate had the sweet and sour fish, so he ran to grab it. As a result, he just picked up a piece of fish, which was caught by another person at the same time. He looked up and saw that it was cat God. Yuan Xi immediately trembled and drew back his hand, said respectfully. “Cat God, you take it first!”
He didn’t have the guts to grab food from the foodie cat!
Unexpectedly, Li Cangyu didn’t take the piece of fish, but picked it up and put it on Yuan Xi’s plate. He smiled and replied. “I’ll give it to you.”
Yuan Xi waved his hands. “No need, no need, I’ll look for something else.”
Li Cangyu didn’t mind and replied frankly. “It’s alright, I saw you here. I came to talk to you.”
Yuan Xi didn’t know why Cat god noticed him among so many players, and he was a little flattered. “Talk– what do you want to talk about?”
“Are your legs alright?” Li Cangyu asked.
Yuan Xi nodded. “En, I already can move freely.”
Li Cangyu patted his shoulder lightly. “Then stand up straight and walk. As a real man, no need to sneak around like a thief, right?”
Yuan Xi was stunned, knowing that he had just been hiding and was found by the cat god, and his face immediately blushed.
Li Cangyu glanced at him, and whispered in his ear. “It’s not shameful to like him, and no one will laugh at you. Why do you care about other people’s opinions if you act upright and sit upright? Like is just like. What? Is Qiu Zongping so special that no one else is allowed to like him?”
Yuan Xi’s face turned redder, just as Qiu Zongping came to this side, he immediately replied. “Cat God, I don’t like him anymore…”
Li Cangyu smiled. “You know it in your heart, don’t wrong yourself anymore.”
After he said that, he turned and left. Yuan Xi stood in the same place and was at a loss. Qiu Zongping came over and took the chicken wings from the plate next to him and asked, “What did the cat god tell you?”
Yuan Xi forced a smile. “Nothing, he just says one-two words to encourage me.”
“Oh,” Qiu Zongping replied and was silent for a moment before replying. “Don’t think too much, take advantage of the vacation to have a good rest and relax, and we will practice cooperation next season.”
His remark was so light that Yuan Xi could only reply with ‘en’ gloomily.
At the end of the party, both great gods, Ling-Cat left ahead of time, saying that they left time for young people. If they were present, everyone would be under too much pressure.
As soon as the two left, everyone was full, so someone beckoned to the nearby KTV.
Professional players had a prohibition on alcohol during the competition. In order not to affect the state of the game, everyone did not drink alcohol. But now that the game was over, everyone was free during the vacation, and with all the expenses tonight reimbursed by the club, it was a good time to relax.
Qiu Zongping didn’t like this kind of noisy occasion and went back to the team directly. Yuan Xi didn’t want to go back to the dormitory to be alone with him, so he went to KTV.
Everyone in KTV the more they played the more they got high, ordered a lot of wine, and they had the posture of not going back until they got drunk.
Yuan Xi was already uncomfortable in his heart, and just took advantage of this opportunity to drink freely. After one glass after another, his brain became confused, but he felt better, and he drank even harder.
“Stop drinking, you already experienced your drinking mistake.” Zhou Xuewei reminded him.
Yuan Xi chuckled. “At that time, we were still in competition, and now it’s over, we are on holiday. What can happen from drinking? So many people are here, the big deal is that if I drink too much, you will carry me back.”
Zhou Xuewei knew that his heart was uncomfortable, so she stopped dissuading him.
In the end, Yuan Xi was really drunk, but not to the point where he needed to be carried back by his teammates, and he could still walk unsteadily.
Zhou Xuewei and Zhao Xingchen escorted him back to the bedroom together. While complaining, Zhao Xingchen helped him take off his shoes and coat, covered him with a quilt, and said. “You can sleep with sincerity for me, don’t vomit!”
“Go to sleep, it’s already three o’clock in the morning.” Zhou Xuewei added.
Yuan Xi waved his hand in a daze. “I know, you guys are so annoying…”
They saw him lying on the bed and sleeping, so they turned away with ease.
However, Yuan Xi did not sleep peacefully, and his throat was as dry as a fire. After a while, he got up to look for water to drink.
Everything in front of him was swaying. He struggled to go to the living room to drink a glass of water. When he turned back to his bedroom, he went in the wrong direction and pushed open Qiu Zongping’s door.
Both bedrooms’ layout was the same, so Yuan Xi didn’t realise he was wrong. He staggered to the bed and climbed up. As a result, as soon as he climbed onto the bed, he found a man. He reached out and touched it. It was a man. The muscles on his arm felt particularly good. Further up, there were sexy collarbones and adam’s apple, as well as a tall nose…
Why did he look like Qiu Zongping?
Yuan Xi stopped in a daze.
However, the next moment, Qiu Zongping, who was already asleep, was awakened by him.
Seeing that the other party’s hand was on his lips, Qiu Zongping frowned. He looked at Yuan Xi’s face through the moonlight, and couldn’t help but wonder. “What are you doing?”
“Why are you in my bed?” Yuan Xi also asked.
Qiu Zongping replied. “…This is my bed.”
After the strange conversation, Yuan Xi’s head was in a mess, and his IQ could no longer keep up with the rhythm. He looked at Qiu Zongping’s handsome face through the hazy moonlight, and his lips, which were slightly opened because of speaking. Moving faster than his brain, before he could think, he pressed on Qiu Zongping and kissed him directly.
“Wu…” After being caught off guard by the kiss, Qiu Zongping’s back stiffened instantly and wanted to push away, only to find that this guy was hugging himself very hard, as if he was hugging a life-saving straw.
Yuan Xi had no experience in kissing, and realising that the other party was resisting, he hugged him with all his strength.
Qiu Zongping looked calm and cold, but didn’t expect his lips to be so soft. Yuan Xi became more and more excited, but he didn’t know what to do next. He could only lick and kiss Qiu Zongping’s lips like a beast. Qiu Zongping was woken up in his sleep in the middle of the night, and his body was already sensitive, so he was furious and pushed him away.
“Yuan Xi!” Qiu Zongping’s voice was unusually harsh, “What are you doing? Are you drunk?”
“Ah?” Yuan Xi was pushed hard and fell to the ground defenselessly. He looked at the serious Qiu Zongping blankly and replied innocently, “I like you. I want to kiss you so much that I dream of it. Just let me give you a kiss, okay?”
Qiu Zongping: “…”
What the f*ck was this? He had always regarded Yuan Xi as a brother. Some time ago, Yuan Xi also said that he would give up this relationship and only be a teammate with him, right? Why did he get drunk and start to muddle again?
“Didn’t you say that you have let it go?” Qiu Zongping frowned.
Yuan Xi whispered. “I lied to you, I have always liked you, how could I let it go…”
Probably because he got bolder after getting drunk, and because cat god said today that there was nothing wrong with liking someone openly, Yuan Xi climbed into bed again in a daze, grabbed Qiu Zongping’s hand gently, looked him in the eye and added. “I just like you, okay? I like you for a long time, really for a long time… I haven’t figured it out until recently…”
He was a little incoherent, repeatedly saying the words ‘I like you’, his eyes gradually moistened, and it seemed that there were tears.
Qiu Zongping could not see his expression clearly, but under the moonlight, the complex emotions in his wet eyes made Qiu Zongping stunned for a while.
Then, there was a soft touch on the lips…
Yuan Xi kissed him gently like a devout believer.
The kiss could be said to be unskillful, but gently covered their lips and then licked it with his tongue.
But to Qiu Zongping’s surprise, in the strong smell of alcohol, he also tasted a hint of salty taste…
Was it the taste of tears?
Looking up, sure enough, Yuan Xi’s face was full of tears.
Yuan Xi… was he crying?
Qiu Zongping was frozen on the bed like a statue, but he didn’t have the heart to push the other party away.
Because he felt that there was a strong and repressed emotion in Yuan Xi’s heart, it completely broke out at this moment. While he kissed himself carefully and clumsily, he burst into tears like a fool…
Although he was drunk, it was alcohol that made him lose his mind and express his innermost true thoughts.
With such strong feelings, Qiu Zongping was at a loss.
——Qiu Zongping never thought that someone would in love with him so deeply.
::holds back the tears:: oh Yuan Xi… to think I used to dislike you…….. sniffles….. I feel so sad for him…
