Sword Song team didn’t even make the playoffs this season, but Lin Shuangcheng, as captain, was smiling and didn’t seem to mind the result of the game.
He wasn’t as stressed as other captains in the league, and he didn’t think about winning the championship. When the Sword Song team was established, it was just to realise his wuxia dream when he was young. Since he was a child, he liked watching wuxia novels and loved all kinds of swordsmen written by Jin Guliang, so he wanted to set up such a team with swordsmen as the core. As for the final achievements, it was not so important.
Lin Shuangcheng’s family was very rich, it could be seen from his casual use of millions of liquidated damages to dig a newcomer like Song Changdong.
However, when he was in the team, he didn’t have the airs of a rich second-generation brother. On the contrary, he was kind and easygoing, and he loved to joke with his teammates, and everyone liked him very much.
After the end of the season, Lin Shuangcheng called the team members to have a good meal, and gave everyone a red envelope. He smiled and said, “Everyone can go back to have a good rest, adjust your state, and then gather for training after the Spring Festival. I hope that next season, we can at least reach the playoffs.”
Although he didn’t mind whether he could win the prize or not, now that a team had been set up, it was better to get a better result than the tail of the crane, and he should also be responsible for the team members.
The teammates all nodded their heads and agreed, saying that they would adjust as soon as possible and play in the best state for next season.
Song Changdong’s expression was particularly serious. Holding a red envelope in his hand, he looked up at Lin Shuangcheng and said, “Captain Lin, I will train hard during the holiday.”
Lin Shuangcheng thought he was just talking like that because of the situation. Unexpectedly, this guy really did it.
After the holiday, Song Changdong returned to his hometown. When he was at home, in addition to helping his parents with housework, he had been logging into the game to practice earnestly at other times. Lin Shuangcheng saw him online every time he logged in. Once or twice, it could be said to be a coincidence. After seeing him five times in a row, Lin Shuangcheng was also a little confused and couldn’t help chatting privately: “Why are you here every day?”
Song Changdong replied: “Captain Lin, I’m practicing operations.”
Lin Shuangcheng opened his record and almost dropped his chin—— from the day of the holiday, he spent more than eight hours online every day, just like when he was training in the team, he played single challenge arena in the morning and played team battle in the afternoon. He practiced every day, rain or shine.
He was terribly serious.
Lin Shuangcheng could not help smiling and said: “So serious in holiday, Xiao Song, are you going to take the rhythm of MVP next season?”
Song Changdong blushed at his jokes and replied: “There are so many great gods in the league, and I can’t win MVP with my strength. However, captain Lin asked me to be the vice captain, so I will do my duty as the vice captain. I think, next season, at least I can’t hold you back, I have to keep up with your rhythm, so that our multi-swordsman flow can play well. My reaction is not as fast as yours, and I am not as talented as yours, so I can only make up for it by diligence.”
Looking at the words he sent, Lin Shuangcheng could even imagine the serious expression of the guy in front of the computer.
Compared with Xiao Song’s seriousness, Lin Shuangcheng, who drank and socialized with his friends these days, really didn’t look like a captain.
Lin Shuangcheng sighed lightly: “You should also give yourself a few days off, there is no need to fight like this.”
Song Changdong: “But I have nothing to do at home, so I might as well practice more.”
He was quite stubborn, Lin Shuangcheng couldn’t move him, so he had to type: “Then whatever you want, don’t work too hard, go to bed early.”
Song Changdong sent a silly smile: “En, had a good rest too, captain Lin.”
***
Lin Shuangcheng had a group of best friends in Beijing, most of whom were the rich second generation. They grew up together and had deep friendships.

As a result, he didn’t step on the brake, so he got blackout drunk directly. He was so drunk that he couldn’t speak clearly.
Xie Yu, a good brother who grew up with him, found a driver to drive him home. He threw him in bed and was about to leave, but he suddenly whispered, “Xiao Song, I want to eat meatballs…”
Lin Shuangcheng was so drunk that he was eating meatballs in his dream, so he blurted it out.
Xie Yu was stunned. While opening the recording software of his mobile phone, he smiled and asked, “What did you say?”
Lin Shuangcheng continued to whisper, “The meatballs made by our family Xiao Song are the best… Xiao Song, when will you make them for me…”
Xie Yu saved this speech, then turned and left the Lin house.
The next day, Lin Shuangcheng woke up and had a splitting headache. As a result, there was a constant ‘dingdong’ sound in the WeChat group. He opened the group with a frown and saw a group of people creating disturbance foolishly inside: “Hey, who is Xiao Song? @LinShuangcheng said so affectionately, have you fallen in love?”
“Quickly tell who Xiao Song is, what’s the meaning of meatballs? You like his meatballs, how delicious are they?”
“@LinShuangcheng, stop sleeping and get up, be honest with your brothers!”
“Xiao Song, should not be your new lover right?”
“How do you feel? How far is your progress, already gone to bed?”
Lin Shuangcheng flipped through the chat records, only to find that Xie Yu, this b*stard, recorded a few words after he got drunk last night and sent them to the group as jokes.
This group of people had played together since childhood, often do this kind of thing, post someone’s black history in the group, everyone laughed together, the so-called ‘your unhappiness, can make us very happy’ bad friends, Lin Shuangcheng had played jokes on several of them before, and people didn’t take jokes seriously.
But today, watching these people guess Xiao Song’s identity, and even guess how far they went as lovers…
Lin Shuangcheng was suddenly very unhappy and frowned: “That’s enough, Xiao Song is my teammate, it’s not as filthy as you think.”
Xie Yu came out and said: “Yo-yo, starting to protect him? To be honest, do you have something for him? I searched the Internet and found that there was only one Song in your team, and the vice captain, Song Changdong, looked naive. Haven’t you always liked men? I remember you used to like the beautiful teenager type. When did your taste change and you started liking this kind of dull and honest man?”
Lin Shuangcheng got angry directly: “Shut up, if you say another word, I’ll block you.”
Xie Yu: “????”
Lin Shuangcheng quit the group chat.
A group of people were stunned.
Actually, everyone didn’t mean any harm. Usually, even if his mouth was cheap and he was joking. Lin Shuangcheng was never angry, he didn’t expect this time he was serious and quitted from the group.
Xie Yu immediately felt that he had offended the wrong person, and hurriedly sent a private chat over: “Brother Cheng, I was wrong. I deleted that voice right away. I’m not kidding.”
Lin Shuangcheng took a deep breath and said: “Xiao Song is different from you. He is a very serious and hardworking man. Unlike all of you, whose family has money to live a comfortable life casually. He is very simple and kind. He is my teammate. Please don’t insult him, I will only say this once.”
Xie Yu: “…”
He immediately sent the screenshot of this private chat to the group.
So, a group of people who were joking just now lined up one by one to apologise to Lin Shuangcheng.
“Just consider us farting early in the morning. Haha, don’t be angry, brother Cheng. It’s not necessary to quit the group. Come back quickly!”
“We just talk nonsense. I didn’t expect that Xiao Song was so important to you. Haha, send a red envelope to calm down!”
“Absolutely shut up in the future and don’t say anything bad about vice captain Song!”
They said so, but a group of people were puzzled in their hearts.
When did Lin Shuangcheng care about someone so much?
It seemed that Song Changdong’s position in his heart wasn’t lost to this group of best friends, or even surpassed this group of best friends? Today, it was just a few words of offense, Lin Shuangcheng immediately quitted the group. If there was any contradiction, it could be imagined that Lin Shuangcheng might fight with them for that Xiao Song.
This kind of… a strange feeling of fighting with brothers over his wife?
When Xie Yu realised this, he immediately gave a hollow laugh and said in the group: “I think he must have a feeling with that Xiao Song!” Several other people echoed: “No wonder he is so angry.”
“I see.”
“It seems that our mouth is cheap, which has provoked his favourite?”
A group of people imagined enthusiastically, but Lin Shuangcheng himself hadn’t yet reflected that his performance would lead to misunderstanding.
He just subconsciously wanted to protect Song Changdong.
Because Xiao Song was really different in his heart.
Such a pure person, like a piece of white paper, how could he tolerate others using such foul language to talk about Xiao Song?
Thinking of this, Lin Shuangcheng suddenly realised that he really seemed to miss Xiao Song a little bit.
So Lin Shuangcheng called Xiao Song.
Song Changdong picked up the phone with doubts in his voice, “Captain Lin, what can I do for you?”
Lin Shuangcheng smiled and said, “I can’t find you if there’s nothing?”
Song Changdong immediately blushed and stammered, “No-no, that’s not what I meant.”
Listening to Song Changdong’s serious voice, Lin Shuangcheng’s irritable mood immediately calmed down, and his anger quickly subsided, and even the feeling of splitting headache after a hangover was relieved a lot. As he got up and put on his clothes, he pressed the speaker button of his mobile phone, and whispered, “What are you doing?”
“I’m preparing lunch for my parents.” Song Changdong replied.
The sound of the kitchen exhaust hood came from the phone, Song Changdong clamped his mobile phone in his ear and called while cutting vegetables.
“What are your plans to make for lunch?” Lin Shuangcheng asked curiously.
Song Changdong replied, “I plan to make eggplant with garlic sauce, kung pao chicken, shelled shrimp with sauteed snow peas, steamed pork ribs with garlic powder, and then make vegetable meatball soup.”
Lin Shuangcheng: “…”
The more he listened, the more hungry he got, and he really wanted to fly over to eat his dishes.
Lin Shuangcheng swallowed saliva and smiled, “I haven’t had lunch yet, and my stomach is empty. It really makes me sad that you said so much delicious food.”
“Then go eat quickly.” Song Changdong replied quickly.
“I’m at home alone. No one makes it for me.” Lin Shuangcheng replied aggrievedly.
“Then go out to eat, if you are too lazy to go out, you can also order a takeout?” Song Changdong suggested.
Lin Shuangcheng gave a gentle ‘hum’ and disdained, “the food cooked outside is not as delicious as that cooked by our family Xiao Song.”
Song Changdong blushed again. “Captain Lin, don’t make fun of me, go eat, being hungry for a long time is bad for your stomach.”
Lin Shuangcheng then stopped teasing him and smiled, “Alright, I won’t bother you, just concentrate on cooking, in case it burns…”
As soon as he said this, Xiao Song’s surprised cry came from the other end of the phone, “Ah, while calling you, my eggplant is burnt!”
“…” Lin Shuangcheng couldn’t help laughing, “Sorry, it’s my fault.”
“It’s okay, I’ll do it again…” Song Changdong replied gloomily.
Lin Shuangcheng hung up the phone, his stomach was very hungry, but strangely enough, his heart was also a little empty.
Suddenly, he missed the person on the phone.
He missed the man cooking in his apron.
If only Xiao Song was around, cooking in the kitchen in an apron, he would lean against the door and make jokes occasionally. Xiao Song was thin-skinned and honest, would he blush?
He looked really cute when he blushed.
Lin Shuangcheng didn’t realise that Song Changdong had been in his mind since he woke up until now.
