"Master......"

"What? Don't grind and chirp like an old lady, cheer up and hurry up. ”

On the way to the physical training center, hearing Hou Ziang's listless lazy shout behind him, Hu Xiaopeng urged him unceremoniously.

"Why do you have to walk there when you have a car?"

"Anyway, it's going to morning exercise, and you should warm up in advance when you walk, do you think you're still the kind of boy who drives to the gym to run and bubble girls?"

"That'...... Then you don't have to go so early, it's only half past five, and it's not even dawn. ”

"And didn't you already say yesterday that Coach Lin wouldn't go to training in the future? Why are you going to go again today? ”

"Hey, what you said is not right, I have to correct it, because if I remember correctly, my original words yesterday should have been, without affecting my work, I will participate in training from time to time, not at all."

"As for this irregularity, it depends on my mood."

"Damn, shameless......"

Hearing Hu Xiaopeng's unreasonable explanation, Hou Ziang, as an apprentice, seemed to have no other way to express his helplessness at this time except to scold in a low voice.

But as the two entered the training hall and began to jog in circles, looking at Hu Xiaopeng, who was not lazy at all, and was more serious about morning exercise than anyone who came after him, Hou Ziang seemed to suddenly understand why he was like this.

His master was also a little nervous because of tomorrow's professional debut, even if he was still stubborn just now, but his actions are the best proof.

It's just that Hou Ziang didn't have the slightest intention of laughing, because he really didn't know if he would be as "calm" as Hu Xiaopeng after he had the opportunity to fight.

Soon, the one-hour morning exercise was over, and just as everyone was leaving the training hall and preparing to go to the cafeteria for breakfast, Lin Mengyao, who was the first to walk out of the training hall, stopped Xiong Tianci who had just walked out at the door, and then pulled him aside, and asked him in a low voice after the others walked away.

"I ask you, why is he here?"

Although Lin Mengyao did not name her name at this time, the "he" in her mouth could not be more obvious, because except for Hu Xiaopeng, it was really strange that the rest of the people did not come.

"What? You don't want him to come? Didn't you force him to train yesterday? ”

"No, no, I mean...... Oops, it's ......"

"Okay, don't think about it so much, let's go to dinner quickly, I hope that he can also come over to participate in the formal training of the meeting, don't just come and run and leave."

Seeing that Lin Mengyao didn't say a reason for a long time, Xiong Tianci didn't want to explain too much, but he smiled while naturally holding Lin Mengyao's hand, and walked towards the canteen with ten fingers.

In an instant, Lin Mengyao, who originally wanted to continue to ask, was immediately silent, her red face seemed to be like a girl who had just fallen in love, where was there still a little bit of vigorous and resolute chivalrous demeanor?

"You're not afraid of their ......"

"Meng Yao, look at it, this is our WIN......"

"What?"

"Hehe, didn't you ask me why I chose to stay in WIN?"

"Huh?"

"It's okay, let's go......"

Maybe he didn't know how to speak, or maybe it was because Xiong Tianci felt that there were some words that Lin Mengyao didn't need to know, but Xiong Tianci just said such a sentence that seemed inexplicable, but in fact it didn't affect Lin Mengyao's understanding.

Because it doesn't matter whether to say it or not, Lin Mengyao, who was snuggled up to Xiong Tianci at this time, vaguely seemed to feel that the Xiong Tianci she was familiar with seemed to be back again.

The Xiong Tianci, who is obsessed with IA, eager for victory, or a little blindly confident, is back, as if these people who are walking in front of him and frolicking and making trouble are all he looks forward to day and night.

Perhaps, this is the real Xiong Tianci, the big boy who doesn't say much, but is full of passion for IA in his heart.

I still remember the first time I saw him like this, it was when he was 12 years old, he rushed to the class he was in, regardless of the coaxing of his classmates and the teacher on the podium, hugged himself excitedly, and said that he was successfully selected for the training camp of an IA club;

The second time was when he was 14 years old, through his persistence and hard work, he finally got a training camp player contract, and in the first month of his first salary, he vowed to himself to become a professional player;

……

Then, at the age of 20, after going through several clubs, he finally joined WIN and met Mukon, who was called the "genius" that year.

On that day, when he finally got his professional qualification, he confessed to himself after his first appearance as a player and his final victory that he hoped he could be his girlfriend.

As for the last time, it seems that it was four or five years ago when he finally became the main force of WIN and successfully assisted Mu Kang to lead WIN to the playoffs.

……

Once upon a time, he was not afraid of everything, no matter how difficult it was, as if he always had the hope of success, even in the face of the voluntary termination of the contract by many clubs, even if he was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs that year, even if they were hovering outside the playoff spots for the next four or five years, but he did not choose to give up the IA dream that he had always insisted on, and he did not change his enthusiasm and gratitude for WIN.

But all this came to an abrupt end with Mu Kang's sudden departure, and it also disappeared as he replaced Mu Kang as the trusted captain of WIN.

The decline in performance, the loss of players, the change of ownership of the club, the withdrawal of sponsors, and even the most important chief mechanic of the club were poached by the opponent with a high salary, all of which made Xiong Tianci unable to really relax.

Even if he is in front of people on weekdays, he is still the same Xiong Tianci as he used to be, and he can continue to play for WIN and do his best for WIN's victory.

But in Lin Mengyao's opinion, in the past year or so, Xiong Tianci has actually been unhappy, or he seems to be immersed in invisible haze and high-intensity pressure all day long.

The already serious he became deeper and deeper, and the already calm he became more and more reticent.

Even when Lin Mengyao was alone, Xiong Tianci was no longer as full of pride and ambition as before, let alone talking to her about the WIN game as before, as well as the team tactics and IA skills that she didn't understand at all and didn't care about.

Perhaps this change seems to others to be a sign of maturity, a man's steadiness after he has the courage to take responsibility.

But when you are mature, you must be depressed? Steadiness must come at the cost of laughter?

Of course not, at least in Lin Mengyao's heart, she would like to see the Xiong Tianci who was not afraid of hardships and had infinite sunshine.

And today, to be precise, just a moment, Xiong Tianci is back.

What kind of team is this, and it makes Xiong Tianci so trusted?

Lin Mengyao didn't know, because even if she didn't know too much about IA competition, then she knew that the current team couldn't be compared with WIN a few years ago, at least at this time, it was true.

"By the way, when I just came over, I went to Xiao Baozi's dormitory to take a look, and found that he hadn't come back yet, so I ......"

"Don't worry, it's his game day, you don't need to remind me of this, it's you, aren't you going to play tonight? What do you think? Have faith? ”

"What do you say? Could it be that I can still lose to Xiao Baozi? ”

"That'...... If you win today, come to my house in the evening and we'll celebrate. ”

"Tonight? But ......"

"Okay, when the game is over, if it's okay here for the time being, I'll go over and look for you."

Originally, Xiong Tianci wanted to refuse, because even if he won today, then there would be a more important team match tomorrow, and the outcome of the team match may be the only key point that can determine the victory of this round.

But when he saw Lin Mengyao's already red cheeks beside him, and her shy answer, Xiong Tianci had no choice but to accept it.

And at the same time that Xiong Tianci agreed, Lin Mengyao's cheeks instantly became more rosy, as if she had a high fever, not only clinging to Xiong Tianci's side, but even wishing to get into his arms in the next second, without any scruples about Xiong Tianci's somewhat embarrassed look and stiff movements because of nervousness.

"Tsk, how can you eat all these things? Just kidding......"

A few minutes later, when Hu Xiaopeng came to the cafeteria, looking at a few pieces of boiled chicken breast and a large portion of vegetable salad on the plate in Wu Long's hand, Hu Xiaopeng couldn't help but shake his head again and again and sighed in a low voice.

Is this an exclusive meal for the pros? This is basically a weight loss boot camp, even if in addition to chicken breast and salad, there are boiled eggs and whole wheat bread with butter, as well as some tuna meat and marinated bacon meat and other meat dishes, but these things are not the slightest attraction to Hu Xiaopeng.

So Hu Xiaopeng, who had just stepped into the player's dining area with his front foot, hurriedly turned around and prepared to leave with his back foot, without the slightest sense of nostalgia, I believe that if he hadn't instructed him, maybe he would have returned to the dormitory to find Liu Yiyi at this moment.

"Xiaopeng, aren't you eating?"

But who knew that just a few meters away from the dining area, he met Xiong Tianci who had just walked into the cafeteria, and in the face of his inquiry, Hu Xiaopeng could only pretend to be stupid and said with a smile.

"Eat, eat, I'm not going to eat."

As he spoke, Hu Xiaopeng ran straight to the pick-up table of ordinary employees, and then saw that after he picked up the plate, he filled a plate full of meat dishes.

Regardless of whether it is braised pork or braised pork ribs with green onions, even the staple food, Hu Xiaopeng also took four or five beef buns, in short, it is definitely big fish and meat, and there is no vegetarian dish at all.

"God's Gift, He ......"

"Hehe, let him go."

"But ......"

"It's useless, even if he doesn't let him go, maybe he will say that he is the deputy director of the design and development department, and he should have eaten ordinary staff meals."

was interrupted by Xiong Tianci twice in a row, Lin Mengyao seemed a little unhappy, and looked at Hu Xiaopeng with an angry expression, it seemed that if Xiong Tianci was still clasped with her ten fingers, maybe she would have wanted to rush over and escort Hu Xiaopeng over in the next second.

Seeing this, Xiong Tianci had no choice but to say again.

"Seriously, the things in here, don't talk about him, it's me, in fact, I'm tired of eating it for a long time, and I really want to change the taste."

"By the way, go to your place at night, can you open a small stove for me? It's been a long time since I've eaten the pineapple meat and casserole porridge you made, so it's best to serve it with a small plate of shredded mustard greens with ice residues. ”

"Well, it's a little drooling just thinking about it, hehe."

"Then after the morning training, let's ......"

"Well, what else do you want to eat? I'll buy them all together in the afternoon. ”

Seeing Lin Mengyao swallow back the words that came to her mouth, Xiong Tianci didn't know what to say for a while, because although she didn't finish speaking, how could Xiong Tianci not guess what she was about to say just now?

It's just that even if Lin Mengyao really said it, then Xiong Tianci might not be able to agree, because what she wanted to say was just hoping that she could accompany her to go shopping and buy things.

Letting your boyfriend go shopping with you seems to be a normal thing for ordinary people.

But for Xiong Tianci, this is not easy, because even in normal times, if he wants to leave the WIN headquarters, he can only hide it, and even if he accompanies Lin Mengyao to watch a movie, he can only choose the midnight scene in the middle of the night.

What's more, today is still the match day of the WIN home game, maybe the commercial street around the WIN Arena has already gathered a lot of fans waiting for the evening game, in this case, how could Xiong Tianci rashly choose to leave?

And for this, in fact, Lin Mengyao also thought of it, so just now, she was only halfway through what she said and hurriedly changed her words, and the purpose was just to not want to make Xiong Tianci feel embarrassed, let alone hear the words of rejection from Xiong Tianci's mouth.
