Before getting out of the car, Fu Mingyuan still woke Shen Qi, who was sleeping on him.

Shen Qi hadn’t actually slept very deeply, but he was still a bit reluctant to part with the scent of Fu Mingyuan’s body.

After a high-intensity game, you were full of fatigue and wanted to relax.

But they couldn’t rest at that moment. They had to do the game recap at night, and it might take all night.

Shen Qi rubbed his cheek against Fu Mingyuan’s shoulder, half squinted, and kissed the tip of Fu Mingyuan’s nose. “There are children in the base.

“I can’t hurt the children yet.” He opened his eyes a crack, getting off of Fu Mingyuan and stretching out. He then straightened his somewhat messy hair, lightly chuckled, and added, “It’s a special time: protect the weak.”

Chauffeur Du Jing: …God protects the weak, and he was also weak. Why not protect him?

Fu Mingyuan, who followed Shen Qi, helped shield his head from the top of the car with his hand. His eyes were always on Shen Qi, and when he heard his words, the corners of his mouth hooked up, showing a fleeting smile.

“En, you go in first.”

Shen Qi reached back, grabbed Fu Mingyuan’s hand, and scratched his palm.

…..

When the several children from QAQ and the coach came back, fruit had been neatly placed on the table in the conference room.

The auntie had already gone back, but there were still busy figures in the kitchen.

Lu Tun, who originally had a hand on Ye Lai’s shoulder, yawned and walked to the conference room. “Did you see Rong Jing’s face just now? It must be difficult for him to fake a smile every time he sees us. It’s not like the media doesn’t know that our two families are at odds with each other.”

Ye Lai pulled his hand away. “You’re so annoying ah. Go and prepare for the recap.”

“Little Lailai~ Little Lailai~” Lu Tun pressed Ye Lai’s shoulder and pushed him in.

Ye Lai reluctantly followed him.

Seeing Rong Jing’s expression, Ye Lai wasn’t actually very happy, but he was also not that sad.

Today’s Rong Jing, to him, to Shifu, and to QAQ, was a vanquished opponent.

The moment they entered the conference room, the expressions on Lu Tun and Ye Lai’s faces turned into ones of surprise.

“Auntie prepared fruit for us today? Where did she buy it, and why does it look much more expensive than usual?”

Shen Qi, who was originally scrolling through his phone with his head down, raised his head and chuckled twice. The laughter was a little cold, and his eyes showed his bad mood. “Male God and I prepared it. It’s love fruit, full of color. They’re fruits and snacks full of the taste of love.”

When he finished talking, he continued to play with his cell phone.

It was just that he used a bit more force when tapping on his keyboard.

Lu Tun dragged Ye Lai to the side. “What’s the matter? Idol seems to have swallowed down a whole container of gunpowder.”

Ye Lai shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know what was going on, and pulled Lu Tun to their respective seats.

The coach, who had gone to park the car, entered with Xu Leng, followed by Du Jing and Fu Mingyuan.

Du Jing served the midnight snacks to them. Every person got some noodles and one poached egg.

Xu Leng and the coach also brought their own share.

Seeing Du Jing and Fu Mingyuan, Ye Lai and Lu Tun understood who had prepared the stuff on the table. They glanced at the captain, who still was playing with his cellphone with a lowered head. Lu Tun and Ye Lai rubbed their noses at the same time. They didn’t know, and they didn’t see anything.

“Eat the snacks first and then we’ll do the game recap. There will be a training match tomorrow, do you guys want to participate in it?”

At the present, training matches were actually to maintain the feel in their hands, and was basically half an entertainment match.

However, the competition itself was very tiring. After the second round of the points promotion the day after tomorrow, there would be a real high-intensity training competition.

The coach selfishly didn’t want them to participate, but other teams had already asked, so he couldn’t refuse without asking the team members’ opinions.

Hearing his words, Shen Qi raised his eyes and turned his head. His eyes fell on Fu Mingyuan’s side profile, who was bending over to place the snacks and cut fruit so it was easier for him to eat.

Shen Qi said, “No need. Let’s have an early rest after the game recap. If you can get up tomorrow, touch the keyboard a bit.”

Although he was both answering and facing the coach, his breath spilled onto Fu Mingyuan.

Fu Mingyuan paused.

“Long live Idol!” Lu Tun cheered.

“Long live the coach also.”

Xu Leng helped to add.

The coach smiled helplessly. When he looked at Shen Qi, he coughed in somewhat of an unnatural fashion.

They’d have to consider Bo Li’s rule of “no blatant dating.”

Fu Mingyuan rubbed the back of Shen Qi’s head and helped him put the spoon away. “Are you still mad?”

Shen Qi didn’t pull away and just smiled. “Why would I be mad?”

Shen Qi was silent for two seconds, and then added, “I’m not mad.”

Fu Mingyuan looked down at him and didn’t speak. He just used a toothpick to stab into a strawberry and lift it towards the other party’s mouth.

Shen Qi also obediently ate.

Most of the discontent in the bottom of his eyes had already dissipated, but he was still a little unhappy.

Originally, when Fu Mingyuan had come in with so many things and just had to go to busy himself in the kitchen, Shen Qi’s mood had already been a bit off.

He hadn’t dated anyone else, and he hadn’t watched other people date before, so he didn’t know if everyone else was also like this, with one party always giving things. It seemed that he hadn’t cooked a meal for Fu Mingyuan before.

Although he had washed two fruits, he was kicked out after that.

If it happened one or two times, he could take pleasure from accepting his actions, and even be very happy about it.

However, this kind of midnight snack event had happened many times now. He was clearly very busy with his own work, but he still had to spare the time to cook for Shen Qi and run over to his base to prepare midnight snacks for everyone.

This wasn’t very good. Shen Qi lowered his eyes and felt that he should sign up for a cooking class. Whenever Fu Mingyuan came home late from work, he could make a midnight snack, and after eating that, he could eat him.

En, that was a pretty good thought.

Shen Qi’s moods came quickly and also left quickly.

Fu Mingyuan rubbed the back of his head again and lowered his voice to coax him, “Be good?”

Before Shen Qi could answer, Fu Mingyuan took Shen Qi’s cellphone and unlocked it with his face. Compared to how he didn’t really know how to use a cellphone before, he was now already very skilled at it.

He took another cherry and held it by Shen Qi’s lips. Shen Qi realized what he was going to do, and he was a little surprised. He raised his eyelids and looked at Fu Mingyuan, but Fu Mingyuan looked as proper as always.

Everyone else eating midnight snacks: …..

They couldn’t watch anymore, what exactly was around them, it was all lemons ah!

A few minutes later, Fu Mingyuan and Du Jing went to clean up the kitchen. At the same time, several new messages appeared in the professional player groupchat.

There were two pictures of them eating midnight snacks from different angles. One was just him, and the other was of the whole team.

Bo Li replied in a few seconds.

[HUOJ-Boli: [Photo] [Photo] [Photo]]

Bo Li sent over their midnight snacks: barbecue, a thick and hearty soup, and fruit.

In contrast, Shen Qi’s seemed much shabbier.

[EVE-Buxiu: [Photo]]

[BIG-Weapon: [Photo]]

It was everyone’s midnight snack time, and with Shen Qi taking the lead, they all posted pictures of their midnight stacks, comparing to see whose midnight snacks were the most luxurious.

Compared with the non-stop debating fans online, the private relationship between the players was still relaxed, and they were also looking for a little fun in the tense competition environment.

[QAQ-Angry: I haven’t finished it yet, what’s the hurry? [Photo]]

One good turn deserved another, and Bo Li clicked on the latest photo that Shen Qi had sent. Don’t ask. If you asked, he just regretted it very much right now.

[EVE-Buxiu: ??]

[QAQ-Angry: There are no bright spots in this photo, just half of my face and one of my boyfriend’s hands. The midnight snack was made by my boyfriend.]

[QAQ-Angry: Love Midnight Snacks, they taste great]

The other teams who had originally thought he just wanted to show off his midnight snacks: …..

People are dangerous.

[HUOJ-Boli: Excuse me, is it a violation of rules to attack other teams psychologically during the competition, and can the team’s score be reduced @Referee 008]

The referee who snuck into the groupchat: ……

[Referee 008: Sorry, it doesn’t count]

[QAQ-Angry: Aren’t midnight snacks delicious? Aren’t they especially delicious]

The other pro-players: …..

Close the group chat and keep the peace.

The smile on Shen Qi’s face spread out. When he finished eating his noodles, he ate the second poached egg.

He laughed more happily.

The three people sitting opposite him: …..

“Idol is terrible.”

“Shifu is stirring stuff up again.”

“Captain is really cruel, but I’m also very happy to watch.”

……

After eating, it was time to review the game.

Although QAQ ranked first in total points, it still needed to continue to analyze the game. All games were unknown, and no one knew whether there would be any accidents in the second round of the competition.

The recap lasted until past 3 a.m.

Like them, M1G, opposite them, kept their lights on all night.

“Retiring? Do you know what you’re talking about?” Chen Ling threw the document on the sofa with a heavy expression, obviously very angry.

On the contrary, Rong Jing’s expression had calmed down a lot, and he picked up the contract and handed it to Chen Ling. “My contract will end after the competition finishes, and I have no intention of renewing it. If we can enter the finals, then I will directly announce my retirement after the end of the finals. If we can’t enter them, then the resurrection competition will be my last competition.”

“Shouldn’t you discuss things like this with me in advance?”

Rong Jing laughed sarcastically. “Discuss? If I told you in advance, wouldn’t you announce it all over the world in advance and use it as a selling point, publicizing it and selling it like crazy? Do you remember how when Angry suddenly retired, you said that if you were told in advance, you could make a ton of money from it?

“I admit that as a professional e-sports player, I didn’t act how a professional player should have.

“However, a large part of that reason is because of you.

“Chen Ling, since Angry came back, I’ve been wondering why M1G has gotten to this point. Aren’t you the main driving force for that?”

“I’m the driving force? Rong Jing, did you forget that the one who wanted to push Shen Qi out back then was you, and the one who wanted to splash dirty water on him was also you…” Chen Ling had been sitting, but now, he was so angry from this mutual blame shifting with Rong Jing that he stood up, hating that he couldn’t point at his nose and curse him out.

Rong Jing gritted his teeth and finally let out an “en.”

A heart-piercing pain suddenly came from the wrist of his right hand, and his expression changed for a moment.

Chen Ling didn’t notice his change. “Okay, if you want to retire, then let’s help you out.”

He glanced back, the dark circles under his eyes unable to be concealed, and saw several people hiding outside the conference room and peeping in. He cursed at them again, “What are you guys looking at? What, your captain is retiring, so you have to retire with him? Are you guys that awesome? Your captain has some money at home, but what about you guys? What else can you do besides playing games?”

As he walked out, he hissed at Bao Dun and Qiu Ji who were standing by the door, “A group of trash high school graduates.”

Bao Dun and Qiu Ji looked up at Chen Ling’s far-away back at the same time.

Standing behind them, Jiang Zhuangzhuang and Kim Da-ri respectively pressed their shoulders. Jiang Zhuangzhuang said, “I will help you guys find a good way out.”

Bao Dun clenched his fists.

Qiu Ji calmly grabbed his wrist.

Rong Jing hung his head and came out. The corners of his lips quirked up as he looked at the four people, revealing a self mocking smile. “Still not going to sleep?

“It’s four in the morning, and there’s still a game tomorrow.”

After saying that, he turned the corner and went upstairs.

When the others couldn’t see him anymore, the corners of his lips that had been quirked up flattened, the corners of his eyes grew red, and his right hand trembled slightly.

He could only blame himself for everything.

The QAQ team base——

All the lights downstairs had been turned off. Shen Qi lightened his steps and went back to his room.

There was also a bedside lamp in his bedroom.

Shen Qi put his cellphone by the head of the bed. The later he stayed up, the less sleepy he was.

Before he could get up and go to the bathroom, he was stopped by a hand on his waist.
