At nine o'clock in the evening London time, the members of the three teams of the national service arrived at the hotel, and after the front desk registration was completed, they checked into their respective hotel rooms to settle down.

The group draw for the quarterfinals is scheduled for 9 a.m. the next day.

Lin Xiao and the others on the back team's side arrived at the hotel room, settled down and put their luggage, and came to the same room to gather in the same room after taking a shower respectively.

As the captain, Lin Xiao cleared his throat:

"Tonight...... Let's take a good rest and adjust first. ”

"There's a lot draw tomorrow morning, so don't make a fuss too late."

"The most important thing is to stay in spirit."

After saying that, the eyes of several members of the team swished at the potato.

The potato scratched his head and wondered:

"What are you all looking at me?"

The electric magnetic rod rolled his eyes: "Of course, this is for you, we have to rest early in a few nights, don't you wait and think about pulling me out to buy some supper-"

Jiang Ran nodded in agreement.

Potato looked regretful: "But you must have to eat supper together to be lively-"

Jiang Ran ruthlessly pointed out: "Are you afraid that you will get lost if you go out alone." ”

Qiao Xinwu couldn't help laughing: "Yes, when I was in Paris before, it seems that the potatoes almost got lost outside because of buying supper...... Brother Xiaowu is still in a hurry to find it. ”

Qi Wu recalled this incident next to him, and he still had some palpitations and wiped cold sweat:

"Damn...... Don't mention it, the potato almost scared me to death that time, and it was a game the next day, so it's not over if you lose a top order in the battle? ”

003 coughs.

The electric magnetic rod suddenly slapped his thigh: "It's okay, if you lose the potatoes, you will lose them, we still have 003 here!" ”

Qiao Xinwu pursed her lips: "Okay, you say this, it sounds like potatoes are the kind of teammates who can be abandoned casually, it's a bit too much." ”

There was still a funny smile in his tone.

The next day was the draw for the quarterfinals, but it seemed that no one on the Back team felt too much pressure because of it.

This is a relaxed and casual atmosphere unique to the Back team, and of course it has a lot to do with the existence of Lin Xiao, Qiao Xinwu and Tudou.

"Speaking of—"

The electric magnetic rod raised an eyebrow:

"It seems that the Nine Heavens Clan has gone downstairs to find the clan's training room just now, right?"

"I still have to train so late, Lao Mo's requirements are really strict."

Jiang Ran added: "It seems that Maple Maple's people also went, saying that they could just play two training matches with Jiutian." ”

The words fell, and the room was quiet for a moment, and several members of the Back team couldn't help but look at each other:

is also a team out of the national uniform, it seems that only they are the most relaxed?

The potato looked left and right and proposed again at an inopportune time:

"Who's going to buy supper with me?"

Syllable!

The unbearable electric magnetic rod gave the potato a blow to the head: "What a fart at night, if you have this energy, you might as well go to the training room downstairs with me to practice!" ”

Jiang Ran thought for a moment and answered: "I'll come too." ”

Tudou was still muttering about wanting to say something, "It's never too late to go after supper", but his body had been forcibly carried out by Jiang Ran and the electric magnetic rod.

Qi Wu couldn't laugh or cry for a while:

"I'll go over and have a look, maybe I'll have to talk to the hotel and arrange another training room."

……

After the four of them left, only Lin Xiao, Qiao Xinwu and 003 were left in the room.

Looking at the two partners in front of him, 003 shrugged:

"Then I'm not going to be a light bulb here."

"See you two tomorrow~"

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Xinwu's face flew red, and the girl glared at 003 with some shame:

"Three!"

The tone is full of anger, and there is a very rare charm of a girl who is enough to make countless fans of national server players crazy for nymphomaniac.

003 a shrinking head:

"Don't, if you let others see you like this, don't talk about this guy No. 1, just your fans in the national uniform can be envious and jealous and hate to cut me with a kitchen knife."

After saying that, 003 laughed, and without waiting for Qiao Xinwu to go crazy, he fled from the room and walked away.

Only Lin Xiao and Qiao Xinwu were left.

Because 003 made such a malicious joke before leaving, the atmosphere in the room was a little ambiguous.

Lin Xiao looked at Qiao Xinwu with a nonchalant expression:

"That guy on the third is getting more and more owed."

Qiao Xinwu lowered her head, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but her cheeks were still red, and she let out a soft "um" when she heard Lin Xiao's evaluation.

Lin Xiao turned his head and looked out the window.

The hotel rooms are on the 17th floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a splendid night view of most of London.

But Lin Xiao's gaze fell quietly in the night sky above the city.

Standing, silent for a long time.

I don't know when, a faint fragrance came from behind her, and the girl gently walked behind someone:

"What do you think?"

Lin Xiao smiled:

"No, I just think it...... It's a bit unreal like a dream. ”

Qiao Xinwu took another small step forward, and became standing side by side with Lin Xiao, enjoying the night sky outside the window quietly and peacefully, and a trace of memory and trance also flashed on her beautiful and moving cheeks:

"Yes."

"Even if it's from the time I got back into the esports world......"

"It's going to be a year before."

"It feels like time flies so fast."

Lin Xiao let out a "hmm" and looked out the window:

"I just didn't expect to come back so soon."

"The more you get to the present...... The more familiar it feels. ”

Saying that, someone subconsciously touched his chin and smiled self-deprecatingly: "But this is also very strange, at that time, we had never been to the finals in person." ”

The girl wrinkled her nose cutely:

"It's not like some guy was bent on pretending to be mysterious, saying what's the coolest thing or something."

Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed and coughed twice: "Is that so?" I forgot ......"

Qiao Xinwu turned her head to look at Lin Xiao and smiled:

"But, anyway, we're here now, aren't we?"

"The ...... on which we stand beneath"

"That's the next game."

Lin Xiao listened for a moment, and then nodded slowly:

"Hmm."

"yes."

"It's finally here."

The tone was ordinary and calm, but with an indescribable complex emotion.

back then.

It's true that some of them are young and vigorous.

Too often, he just thinks about satisfying some of his own thoughts and preferences, and doesn't think about the feelings of his peers or other people.

So he has also failed too many people and things.

But......

Fortunately, it's not too late to start making amends and saving now.

Whether it is for these partners and teammates around him, or for those colleagues who are working the field for the same dream, or for the entire national uniform standing behind him and the countless eyes of expectation and hope-

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, and the gaze in his eyes flashed with a dignified and sharp light, as if he could penetrate the night and reach the sky:

"This time, it has to be done."

It seems to be an understatement, but with an incomparably heavy determination and oath.

The girl on the side pursed her lips and smiled slightly, her expression was as quiet and stable as ever, and her left hand had gently taken the right hand of the person next to her:

"Hmm."

"I'll be with you."
