The hair dryer was making a loud noise, and Yu Xinche only noticed He Ci when he walked to the side.
He Ci’s hair was also wet, and he must have combed it back with his hands. Only one or two strands of hair hung in front of his forehead, making his eyebrows and eyes look deeper and clearer.
He was wearing a navy blue shirt-style pajama top, a very fitted style with wide and relaxed shoulders.
The buttons at the collar were unbuttoned, revealing a small area of skin below the neck.
Yu Xinche paused for a moment and said to him, “I’m almost done.”
“Well, no hurry.” He Ci nodded, and as he moved, water dripped down his hair onto his face, and then slid down to his collarbone. He raised his hand and rubbed it there, wiping away the water.
It was a very casual movement, but perhaps because the neckline was open, it exuded a little bit of unintentional sexiness.
Yu Xinche didn’t realize he was staring at someone. It was only when He Ci turned his back to pack his things that he came to his senses and continued to blow-dry his hair.
The two of them busied about till twelve o’clock when Yu Xinche called He Ci to play duos.
When they went to other cities for competitions, they would usually look for hotels close to Internet cafes. However, this time the schedule was too tight and they did not have a whole block of time to go to an Internet cafe, so everyone just brought a laptop.
HIT’s adaptation was good, and you could play it on a thin and light laptop in low-quality mode.
The hotel table was long and placed in front of the window, facing a tree.
This city was a little north of Jiangcheng. The sweet-scented osmanthus flowers bloom later there, and the night breeze brings a hint of light sweet fragrance.
When sitting side by side with He Ci at the table, Yu Xinche felt as if he had returned to the time when he was doing exercises in high school.
There was also a tree at the door of his dormitory at that time. When he felt sleepy or tired after staying up late to do homework, he would look at the tree and rest for a while.
“What are you daydreaming about?” He Ci tapped twice on the edge of his desk with his fingers.
Yu Xinche told him what he had just thought.
“Don’t you turn off the lights when you live on campus?” The two of them entered the game room and started to match. He Ci asked curiously, “I heard there are teachers who check the dormitories.”
“Yes, the lights will be turned off. But we are a key class, so the teacher doesn’t care much. We just use those rechargeable desk lamps to write secretly.”
He Ci was probably hearing about this for the first time, and he showed great interest: “Was everyone all like this?”
“Yeah.” This was also the first time that Yu Xinche told He Ci about his school days.
“Not every day, because the light gets dim easily, which is bad for the eyes. So I will first evaluate whether I can postpone the paper until tomorrow. Only when I feel that I can’t postpone it any longer, will I stay up late to write.”
He Ci was silent for two seconds, then asked, “Do you feel tired?”
“Hmm…” Yu Xinche recalled for a moment, “It’s not bad.”
He Ci glanced at him and said, “Why? It sounds tiring.”
“Because I believed the teacher’s brainwashing: I would be free if I passed the exam. I fantasized about the happy life after the exam every day and painted a rosy picture for myself.”
He Ci laughed twice: “Did you get to eat the cake after the exam?”
Yu Xinche thought for a moment and said, “Part of it. Hey, if we play Mirage this time, will it be easy for us to win?”
“It’s okay.” Yu Xinche changed the subject, and He Ci became serious for a second and began to teach, “You don’t have to learn any skills when you start, just wait and see the opponent’s style. If you want to, just learn the damage skills, and we’ll go grab the minion line.”
“OK.”
[Mirage] is set as a magician who wanders around performing. The original skin was in a fairy-tale style, wearing a castle-like performance costume and an exaggerated tower-shaped hat.
His small skill could randomly create phantoms of the remaining 9 people in the game to assist him in combat; he could also turn himself into a phantom, and after a moment “come back to life” and teleport himself to a certain place on the map.
The ultimate move was to create a mirage around yourself, projecting everyone in the range into the mirage to fight. Teammates would receive bonuses, while enemies would be weakened.
Yu Xinche usually liked to roam around, and from time to time he would go to other lanes to check on his teammates.
This hero was very suitable for his style. The two of them played three games together in the evening. He Ci also tried to use the Lunar Eclipse to match it, and the effect was pretty good.
At a little after one o’clock, He Ci closed the game client on time, and the supervised Yu Xinche also turned off his computer and went to sleep.
He Ci, as a young master who grew up in luxury, had a bad habit: when he arrived in a new environment, he would be picky with his bed and it would take him some time to fall asleep.
Xu Le sleeps very well, he doesn’t snore or grind his teeth, so he always stays in the same room with He Ci.
He Ci hadn’t thought of this when he suggested changing rooms, but before turning off the lights, he saw Yu Xinche lying down with his hands neatly placed on his stomach and not moving again, so he knew that he would also sleep well.
As a result, He Ci made a mistake, and this man suffered from insomnia just like him.
He Ci had been lying there for an unknown amount of time. When he was slowly feeling sleepy, he heard the person on the bed next to him turn over quietly, and after a while, he turned over again.
“Can’t sleep?” he asked in a low voice, as if he was afraid to scare someone.
After he finished speaking, he was silent for a while. Yu Xinche spoke up, also in a very low voice: “You haven’t slept either?”
“I’m not used to sleeping in a different bed.”
“Oh oh.” Yu Xinche could be seen moving vaguely in the darkness, probably turning over and turning towards He Ci, “Is tomorrow’s bottom lane going to be very strong? Stronger than the opponents we’ve encountered before, right?”
He Ci understood, it turned out that he started to get nervous in advance.
“The bottom lane is a little bit stronger, but it’s okay. We should be able to win the laning phase.”
“Really?”
“Really.” He Ci thought about it and thought that if he talked about it in too much detail, he might lose sleep, so he changed his approach and said, “If we were to give a score, their support would probably be 75 points, and AD 70.”
“What’s the full score?”
“100.”
“Oh. What about the opponent in the last game? 60 points?”
“About 65.”
“That feeling doesn’t seem to be much stronger.”
“Yes, so don’t worry too much, we can win.”
“Okay.” Yu Xinche’s voice was a little muffled, perhaps because he was buried in the pillow. “Good night then.”
“Good night.” He Ci said.
The next day was Mid-Autumn Festival. When Yu Xinche went to the venue, he saw the staff distributing Mid-Autumn Festival-themed support items. The background on TZ’s side was a Q-version rabbit of five people. All five of them were painted with rabbit ears and rabbit paws, playing in the Moon Palace.
Yu Xinche was far away and couldn’t see clearly.
But the picture was full of rich colors, and you could tell it was cute without looking closely.
He wanted to get a fan or something as a souvenir, but there were too many fans in line, and it would be bad if he caused a commotion, so he just took a photo of the huge Q-version poster from a distance and went back to appreciate it.
Yu Xinche had learned about this time’s opponent WG in advance, and their bottom lane group also had players with diverse playing styles.
In the first game, both sides played quite well. The opponent gave Yu Xinche’s Tide a respectful ban. In the end, he and He Ci chose the regular Aurora and Mist.
“It doesn’t feel easy to play.” CONTROL said after all the heroes were selected.
In this game, the opponent’s lineup leans more towards a support-oriented playstyle, and three of their ultimate skills could be released across the map.
Yu Xinche and He Ci were often playing well in the bottom lane, but suddenly were surrounded and beaten by four or five opponents.
Both of them performed well and killed the opponent several times before they died.
But in the end, the opponent won the first game because of a difference of one move.
In the second game, He Ci played Valley, and Yu Xinche chose Magician, also known as Mirage. Both heroes could support teammates, and TZ copied the tactics of the opponent in the first game.
In fact, Magician was also a hero that tested the player’s personal strength, but the timing of his support could be determined by Control and He Ci, so his teammates don’t have too many concerns about this choice.
Yu Xinche had been communicating with his teammates. When he felt he could help, he would take the initiative to ask, and He Ci would usually agree to let him go.
“BREEZE was very smart in this game. It felt like he was everywhere.” The commentator praised after arriving in time again to help his teammates out of trouble.
“Yes. This is BREEZE’s first time playing Mirage this season. It can be seen that he is quite skilled at it. Every time he summons a phantom, the switch and displacement are very smooth.”
【Hey, smart roaming】
【He Ci became an orphan again hahahaha】
【Baby’s handsome roaming is inseparable from the AD who can bear the pressure】
【Tanky AD, the pride of supports】
【6】
【Ahhhh, what a cool ultimate move!】
【The bottom lane is full of energy】
【FIX hit all five?!】
【No, how could a Mirage accurately placed FIX outside? That’s amazing】
【Awesome!】
In the final decisive battle, a mirage gradually emerged around Mirage. At the last second of the formation, Mirage and Valley flashed at the same time, pulling away from each other.
Mirage just happened to buff all nine players except Valley.
In the scene, the nine players were fighting. Although He Ci’s Valley, who was outside, could not get any bonus, it was a blessing in disguise as he had a safer output environment – the five opponents were all in the shadows and could not hit him at all.
TZ wiped out the opponent and the situation became 1:1.
The two teams left the stage and went backstage to rest. As soon as they entered the lounge, the coach and Xu Le came up to them. Xu Le was surprised:
“Was that last wave of yours planned or accidental? That’s amazing. Who came up with the idea of leaving He Ci outside? That’s brilliant! Xiao Yu played well.”
“We discussed it.” Yu Xinche smiled mischievously, his eyes curved, “I think I played very handsomely too.”
It was easy to say, but in the game it only took a split second, or even half a second, which required the players to have extremely high on-the-spot response skills.
When Yu Xinche spoke to He Ci, He Ci didn’t have time to react and subconsciously flashed along with his ultimate move.
The others also thought this trick was very clever. BURN pointed at Yu Xinche and then tapped the water dispenser: “Xiao Ou, pour some water.”
“Why me?” Xiao Ou said with a stern voice but acted righteously as he poured a glass of water for Yu Xinche.
After a short break, they entered the third round.
TZ had not lost this season, and this was also the first time they had reached the third game in a BO3.
All five of them were on high alert and made no mistakes.
The opponent was the same. He was extra cautious in this game, worried that he could not beat TZ, so he simply did not leave the tower.
Yu Xinche played with Wind here, and his small skill could use the swirling airflow to hook the enemy.
His hook was very accurate, but the opponent had purification, and the support was Cloud who could remove control.
After failing to hit the target with the hook several times, he thought about it and invaded the opponent’s jungle with Xiao Ou.
He said, “If the other side comes to fight, we will take it. Whoever I hook will be killed first, okay?”
Xiao Ou: “OK.”
The two came to the opponent’s blue zone, and after running into the jungler, they decisively used skills to start fighting.
Seeing the situation, the opponent had to return to support. Yu Xinche kept his hook unused. When he saw the opponent coming from the bottom lane, he gently swung it. With a “swoosh”, the wind swept over the opponent’s AD.
AD was like a sheep walking into a tiger’s mouth. Without the protection of his teammates, he was quickly killed. Xiao Ou got a kill and a buff.
Later, He Ci and Control also came to support and easily won this encounter.
The tense situation was torn open by a small gust of wind, and the balance of victory gradually tipped. After that, Yu Xinche’s hook performed steadily, and almost every hook hit the target.
“Let’s congratulate TZ for winning the game 2:1!”
The crystal exploded and the game screen shrank. In the camera, several people were chatting and laughing around Yu Xinche. Yu Xinche was amused by Xiao Ou and also curved his eyes, revealing a very bright smile.
The narrator summarized:
“BREEZE’s performance in these three games was very impressive. His roaming in the second game protected his teammates very well, and his ultimate that pulled 9 people even decided the outcome of the teamfight.”
“Yes. In the early stages of the third game, both sides were very conservative. It was he who broke the calm appearance with his hooks, laying the foundation for the final victory.”
“I’ll vote for BREEZE as the MVP of this game.”
“I will too. Although the others are also very good, but… BREEZE’s performance today is really, too perfect.”
【Perfect】
【The Wind God is on the list】
【BREEZE means breeze in Chinese. I am dying of laughter. How can it not be considered the god of wind?】
【No, no matter what hero he plays, his skills are ridiculously accurate. Why?】
【There is a cheat!】
【Give HPL a little Breezy shock】
【Family members, remember to ban the wind when playing in the evening ranking, not everyone is as accurate as your baby】
【Hahahahahahahaha】
Unsurprisingly, the MVP of this game went to Yu Xinche.
In the final photo on the screen, he raised his hand and made a “yeah” gesture, showing his teeth and smiling very cutely, which matched today’s holiday special effects very well.
【Wow, he feels so young】
【Cute and cute!】
【Hehe, I told you he’s just a baby】
【Happy holidays!】
HPL had a tradition that all contestants from the winning team participate in the imitation show during the holiday festival.
So after the post-match interview, all five TZ members came to the stage.
Today’s reference was no longer the hero’s expression. The Q-version picture that Yu Xinche saw before the opening appeared on the big screen. The host smiled and said:
“The first prize of our fan creation activity is on the big screen. It’s very cute. I hope you five can imitate it~”
Yu Xinche won the MVP and was going to imitate him. Now he has four teammates to accompany him, which is a good deal for him.
He accepted it well and turned back to look for his rabbit, ready to strike a pose.
When he saw it, he was stunned.
Why did he see himself holding hands with He Ci’s rabbit?
