Ch72 - "Remember, your guys’ biggest enemy is me."

Edited by kat

A week before the start of the Summer Trials, Monday:

3 p.m., the QAQ team base.

Lu Ziye wore a pair of glasses and entered the training room with a thick pile of materials.

The Summer Trials were about to begin, and the atmosphere of the team was getting increasingly tense with each day.

Ye Lai and Xu Leng had gathered together to review the mistakes that should not have occurred in the training match just now. Lu Tun was holding a tub of ice cream and getting intoxicated off of that.

And QAQ’s captain, Shen Qi, was slowly sending a message to his boyfriend with his head down.

Your Qi Ge: Just won second place in the training match

Fu Gege: RubbingHead.jpg have a good competition

Fu Gege: I will watch the livestream

Shen Qi lowered his eyelids and couldn’t say what mood he was in.

During this period, Fu Mingyuan had to again fly abroad to participate in the publicity of a film made last year, and he had to stay abroad for two weeks.

The two of them had only met twice in the past six months.

And they had only eaten together.

Shen Qi trained hard.

Fu Mingyuan also wasn’t willing to tire him out. He just kissed him with restraint every time, and then told him to have a good rest.

Shen Qi scratched his hair and looked up at the ceiling.

Because he had stayed up late, his eyes were a bit bloodshot, but his mind was still active, and he didn’t feel sleepy at all.

After the two of them had taken their relationship another step, Shen Qi felt that he was becoming more and more sentimental, and always came up with ideas he shouldn’t have.

Selfishly, he hoped that Fu Mingyuan could come to the venue, but he knew it was impossible.

They all knew what the consequences of that would be.

His legs pressed against the table legs, and his toes ran over the ground.

He withdrew his thoughts.

Your Qi Ge: Okay da Gege~

“What are you doing? Not making a sound?” Lu Ziye kicked the door with his foot.

He threw the information in his arms onto the table and took off his glasses.

Ye Lai was startled by him and jerked up, interrupting his discussion with Xu Leng to ask, “Coach, what are these?”

Lu Ziye laughed. “A summary of pre-competition interviews for you guys. It was all gathered by older generations in previous years.”

“What is this thing…doing here?” Lu Tun bit off one last big bite of the ice cream and narrowed his eyes contentedly.

Lu Ziye glanced at Shen Qi and said, “To let you guys look at it and adjust your mood a bit.”

Recently, these four children were highly nervous.

Even Shen Qi, who should have been the most relaxed, had been in a bad mood for quite a few days.

Lu Ziye had worried about this for several days.

Back when they had first started playing in competitions, their captain had scolded them every day, but it had actually relieved their mood.

As soon as he said that, Lu Tun rushed over, picked up a book, and began to flip through it.

He said it was pre-competition trash talk, but looking at it now, it seemed like a joke.

All three children gathered around, with each person taking a book.

Shen Qi leaned back against his chair and half squinted, looking up at the coach and saying, “Thanks.”

Lu Ziye shook his head. “Relax a bit and have a little confidence in yourself.”

Shen Qi sneered. “No, Coach, in your eyes, do I have so little confidence in myself?”

Lu Ziye paused: “?”

“I’m anxious about love.” Shen Qi kicked the table and let the chair slide back a little. When he was a little closer to the coach, he continued, “Coach, how long have you been separated from your man?”

Lu Ziye: ….

Lu Ziye glanced at the three children, who were still pretty far away from the two of them and were beside themselves with laughter, and he was silent for a moment.

“A month ba.”

That was after he became a coach. Before, they had pretty much stuck to each other every single day.

Shen Qi licked the corner of his lips. “Then what about bed matters?”

“What…?” Lu Ziye had never met such a shameless person who would ask this directly.

Shen Qi was really not ashamed at all.

He just stared fixedly at him. “The two of us have the same nature.”

Lu Ziye: “…..”

“About—a month ba.”

It had also been since he had become a coach.

Shen Qi let out an “oh” and said, “For me, it’s been half a year.”

He said this while rubbing his temples and looked “very unhappy.”

Lu Ziye also felt incomparable regret right now. Why would he think that Shen Qi would also have “pre-competition jitters.”

“I’ll go back to my room first and sort out the information.” Lu Ziye made an excuse and slipped away.

Shen Qi looked up at his back, stroked his hair, and finally shook his head, showing a smile.

……

The venue of the Summer Trials was in A city.

Two days before the competition, all of the participating teams went to the competition venue for an on-site lottery activity and equipment check.

QAQ all put on the new team uniform together for the first time.

It was short sleeved.

The bright yellow team uniform was particularly eye-catching amid the group of black and red team uniforms.

“I feel like everyone is watching us.” Lu Tun followed Shen Qi and pulled on Ye Lai to whisper to him.

Ye Lai looked around. “You’re overthinking things. They’re all looking at Shifu.”

Lu Tun looked around.

Alright ba.

Shen Qi wasn’t wearing a mask, and he looked a little sleepy. He followed behind the referee in charge of their team, his hands in his pockets, a little careless.

“I haven’t seen God A for a long time, he’s getting more and more handsome.”

“Handsome like hell, you didn’t get chased around enough by him during the training matches? The official competition is about to start, yet you’re praising others?”

“Isn’t what I’m saying the truth?”

“……”

The Turkey team was next to the QAQ team, and who knew which team member was just standing there and praising Shen Qi’s appearance. Bo Li was angry and glared at Shen Qi several times.

However, Shen Qi didn’t seem to hear anything. He noticed Bo Li’s gaze, raised his eyes, and smiled at him.

With Shen Qi smiling like that, the remaining three children thought that their captain was greeting people, and then also threw friendly smiles at the Turkey team.

Bo Li: …..

Was this them teaming up to mock his team?

“QAQ! Who will QAQ send to draw lots?” The person in charge shouted twice and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this team name.

“Is the captain going?” Xu Leng asked.

Shen Qi waved his hand. “With my hands, we’ll definitely be in Group A.”

In the past when he had drawn for M1G, they had never been placed in Group B or Group C.

There were a total of 48 teams in the Summer Trials, and they were divided into three groups, A, B, and C, to have small group competitions first. Each group would play two rounds, and the top five teams in each group would enter the points competition, as well as the team with the most kill points.

If the team with the highest kill score happened to be in the top five of that group, the team in sixth place would then enter the points competition.

There were two rounds in the points competition, and the eight teams with the highest points would directly enter the finals.

For the teams that failed to enter the points competition, those ranked 9th to 32nd based on total points would directly enter the resurrection competition, while the remaining teams would then conduct a knockout competition, with the top eight of the knockout competition also entering the resurrection competition.

The 32 teams in the resurrection competition would be divided into two groups, with the four teams with the highest points in each group also reaching the finals.

The finals would last three days in total.

Although Shen Qi said this, the three children still pushed Shen Qi out directly.

Standing opposite Shen Qi was M1G’s RJJ, Rong Jing.

The two of them looked at each other.

Rong Jing turned away first, and his expression sank.

Shen Qi smiled indifferently and took a piece of paper from the referee, before turning around, raising his gaze, and opening his mouth to say, “Good luck in the competition.”

He spoke in a loud voice, so Rong Jing naturally heard it.

He stopped in the middle of trying to leave.

There was no superfluous expression on his face. He just turned around and nodded at Shen Qi.

“Then which group are you in ah?” Shen Qi asked again.

Rong Jing was silent for a while, frowning as he opened the paper ball in his hand.

“B.”

Shen Qi shook his head. “Unfortunately, we can’t meet you in the small group competition.”

Rong Jing opened his mouth, but didn’t make a sound.

Who knew how this person was able to speak with him so calmly and leisurely right now.

If he had been attacked and framed by the other party, he would probably hate that he couldn’t punch him every time he saw him.

He opened his mouth and didn’t know what to say. He heard Shen Qi speak in a sarcastic tone in front of the referee and his team, “Don’t get eliminated ah, otherwise I’ll be flustered that I can’t personally beat you.”

Shen Qi smiled again, his mouth quirking up, and he opened the paper ball and threw it directly to Lu Tun. After he turned around, he waved back at M1G behind him. “Remember, your guys’ biggest enemy is me.

“I want you guys to know that an M1G without Angry is really trash, so don’t fail to enter the finals.”

The referee and the person in charge were stunned and were a bit at a loss.

M1G was also stunned.

Rong Jing stopped there and stared at Shen Qi’s back for a while. The paper in the palm of his hand was once again crumpled up by him.

It was only when everyone in the QAQ team had disappeared that the person in charge commanded the other teams to draw lots in turn, and only after the referee in charge of M1G came to lead M1G to their competition seats did Rong Jing come back to his senses.

His face showed a smile that hadn’t been seen for a long time.

Yeah, that was Angry.

Angry, who quarreled with him back then because he refused to admit his mistake.

After all, he originally didn’t have the type of personality to silently bear things.

“Captain…um…” Bao Yao bit back some words.

Rong Jing looked away, turned, and looked at him vaguely. “Let’s go ba and adjust the equipment.”

Kim Da-ri followed Rong Jing and patted him on the shoulder.

Rong Jing didn’t say anything after that.

……

“The camera was recording. If that video is released, there will be another bloody storm online.”

Bo Li stood beside Shen Qi, clicking his tongue in wonder.

Shen Qi himself put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the wall. He casually raised his eyes to glance at Bo Li. “What? You think I really didn’t care about him slandering me before?”

Bo Li chuckled and shook his head.

“Back then, we all thought that you wouldn’t come back.

“We thought you were a coward.”

“Ah…” Shen Qi patted Bo Li on the shoulder. When he passed by, he whispered, “The smell of cigarettes on you is a little heavy, so be careful not to be caught.”

Professional players were not allowed to smoke.

Bo Li was stunned and sniffed his clothes.

There was no smell.

He suddenly remembered that he had taken a bath and changed clothes before he had gone out.

Even if he had smoked secretly, the smell wasn’t something that couldn’t be washed out.

He raised his little finger at Shen Qi and laughed again.

He had to say that Shen Qi’s words made him feel more comfortable than the accusations of those people online against M1G.

They went back to their competition seats.

The three children were checking their equipment.

Seeing that their captain had come back, all of them gave him a thumb’s up.

“Captain, we will let M1G know that QAQ is the strongest,” Xu Leng said with a serious expression.

Lu Tun and Ye Lai also looked at Shen Qi seriously.

Shen Qi chuckled and rubbed each of their heads. “Alright, focus on the competition.”

While sitting down to adjust the equipment, Shen Qi wiped his own keyboard for a few seconds, but then his movements stopped.

The venue was brightly lit.

There was no audience below.

The competition seats were full of staff members and teams walking around, and it was a little noisy.

However, he felt that his mood was very calm at this time.

It wasn’t that he didn’t care.

It was that the time had only come now.
