MTL - As a Captain, You Must Be Cold-Chapter 6
Yu Zhaohan came out after washing his hands and met Shi Du who was waiting for the elevator at the elevator entrance. He had just released his pretense skills and was still cooling down, so he didn't want to confront Shi Du head-on for the time being. Shi Du seemed to have the same idea, the two of them tacitly followed the waiter to the box without looking at the other.
Yu Zhaohan walked in, and the two tables in the private room looked together, one table was the starting coaches, the other table was the IPL substitutes, a few young boys, and there was one vacant seat at each table.
Shi Du didn't move, he was probably thinking about where to go. Yu Zhaohan taught him how to do things: "You sit at the child's table."
Shi Du smiled: "Why?"
"Adults want to drink." Yu Zhaohan said casually, "Can you drink?"
Time Du: "..."
Although Shi Du still has one or two months to come of age, he is the pillar of the IPL after all, and his father is also one of the sponsors of the league. The manager of the IPL would not dare to let the young master sit at the children's table.
The IPL manager smiled and said, "You sit here and chat about the game, and I sit at the next table."
Cheese has always been friendly and enthusiastic to the brother team. He sat on the chair and moved to the side: "No, no, we can squeeze together, and we can seat two people."
Yu Zhaohan and Shi Du sat down at the same time, halfway between them. The two happened to be facing each other, and they could see each other as soon as they looked up.
Everyone is here, and the IPL manager, who is responsible for public relations, started his performance, raised his glass and stood up and said: "Come on, let's have a toast first, thank you R.H for helping us find evidence of TCO's malicious suspension. Good brother, there will be more in the future." Just mention where you can help."
Everyone said "thank you" and "you're welcome" sparsely. Adults drank beer, minors drank tea, and drank this cup together.
The tea was a bit bitter, Shi Du only took a sip. He never wronged himself, called the waiter and said, "Please change the tea for a drink."
The waiter asked, "What drink do you want?"
"What do you have here?"
"We have common drinks. Coke, Sprite, coconut juice, Wangzai milk..."
Yu Zhaohan moved his toes slightly, and the little sock slid down halfway.
"Coke, thank you." Shi Du asked everyone, "Do you want any?"
Cheese, who loves sweets, raised her hand: "I, I, I, I want Wangzai's milk! The nanny needs to drink more milk!"
Yu Zhaohan glanced at Cheese approvingly, his nanny still had taste and connotation. Unlike Shi Du, who can only drink Coke, he doesn't even know he's been killed.
The dishes are served one after another. The IPL manager asked Yu Zhaohan: "Is Team Yu still satisfied with the dishes?"
A gleam flashed in Yu Zhaohan's eyes. He knew that the time had come.
Pretentious mode, start—
"Huaiyang cuisine is carefully crafted, and it emphasizes a charm." Yu Zhaohan moved out the lines he had memorized in advance, and said, "Every dish here can see the heritage of traditional Chinese culture—not bad."
The IPL manager was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly cheered: "Well said! What a traditional culture!"
Cheese looked at his captain with admiration: "The captain also knows Huaiyang cuisine? It's amazing!"
Yu Zhaohan wrote lightly: "This is common sense."
Shi Du was speechless. He turned a piece of Wensi tofu in front of Yu Zhaohan, put on an expression of a three-good student eager to learn, and asked, "Captain Yu, I can't even see what cultural heritage this dish embodies."
Yu Zhaohan sneered in his heart: That's it? Small tricks.
Yu Zhaohan took a sip of his wine and said, "This dish looks graceful overall, but it also has a majestic aspect. The taste is very delicate, but it feels rough when tasted carefully—what do you think?"
The IPL manager who is always cheering: "Yes, yes, I think so too!"
Xu, who admires Shine: "I don't think Team Yu said it, but now that I taste it, there is indeed something majestic!"
Cheese, what the captain said was right: "Captain, you are really good at it!"
Shi Du: ...Are you serious?
After filling the stomach, it is time for free activities. Lu Youshan grabbed the IPL coach and chatted about tactics: "It's okay for you to let them go by two or two points in this wave, and I will arrange it the same way for me."
The IPL coaches had already come out, but now Lu Youshan took him to relive the nightmare, the more he talked, the more sad he became, with snot and tears, he said aggrievedly: "You understand, the fans don't understand, what have you been scolding me these days Yes. My brother, I feel bitter..."
Lu Youshan handed over the tissue and sighed: "It's not easy."
Yu Zhaohan felt his little sock slipped down again, which made him feel uncomfortable all over. He stood up and said, "Go to the bathroom."
After Yu Zhaohan left, Lao Tan nudged the IPL manager with his elbow: "The transfer period is coming soon, what are the plans for IPL?"
The IPL manager snorted, "We've just finished the game, so we haven't had time to think about it yet." He looked around and lowered his voice, "But I heard that Lawman is going to make a move soon. They want to buy it in the Eastern Division." Two people."
Old Tan gossiped, "Who is it?"
The IPL manager winked: "What do you think?"
Lawimeless? "
"This year's Eastern Division is in a downturn, and they are the only two who can catch Lawman's eyes." The IPL manager said, "But even if you are shiimeless, you may not be able to start if you go to Lawman, and you have to compete with the current double c position, pk. But just go to the bench to look at the drinking fountains. Tell me, will the two of them accept Lawman's invitation?"
Lao Tan: "I don't know about Timeless, but Shine will definitely stay in R.H."
The IPL manager was surprised: "Are you so sure? Lawman is not short of buying money."
Old Tan said firmly, "No matter how much they give, Shine won't go for Wanfeng."
The IPL manager said "Oh" knowingly: "Timeless probably won't go either. The young master is not short of money, and he won't be a substitute."
When Yu Zhaohan came to the bathroom, he found that someone was already there.
Shi Du leaned over and stood in front of the mirror, with his hands on the sink. He should have just washed his face, the hair on his forehead was still wet, and the water flowed down the side of his face. He was different from the image of the male high school student who liked to make trouble at the dinner table just now, showing a gloomy and **** beyond his age.
When did Shi Du leave?
Yu Zhaohan recalled it, it seemed that it was when Lu Youshan and the IPL coach were discussing the last round of the finals.
Hearing footsteps, Shi Du raised his eyes, and the two met in the mirror. Shi Du's eyelashes were also wet, and his eyes were deeply dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Yu Zhaohan pretended not to see it, and walked towards the cubicle.
Shi Du suddenly said, "Shine."
It's not the fun tone when calling "Team Yu", but the id, which is the same as during the game.
Yu Zhaohan paused when he pushed the door: "What?"
Shi Du lowered his head, making it hard to see his expression: "I... really want to win."
Yu Zhaohan was stunned for half a second, quickly regained his composure, and said calmly, "Who doesn't want to, so do I."
Shi Du chuckled softly: "I'm really not reconciled, **** it."
Yu Zhaohan said, "I know."
In the eight-to-four knockout round, they also lost to Lawman. Unlike IPL's three-to-three chase, R.H and Lawman played back and forth in the first half, from one to one to two to two. The fans at that time were not as pessimistic as they were before the finals. They really thought that R.H could win.
But in the end, R.H still lost.
His unwillingness was no less than that of Shi Du, and even his pretending career almost ended at the moment he was eliminated. Fortunately, he is strong, so he left the field with a sullen face, and then told the players: "Don't blame yourself, blame others."
The team members were completely enlightened.
Under Yu Zhaohan's comfort, all R.H staff cheered up again, and blamed the boss.
Regardless, it's the boss' fault. If it weren't for the boss's scrambling and searching, and not even hiring a data analyst for them, their chances of winning would be at least 20% higher, okay?
Shi Du stopped talking, probably he hasn't come out yet.
Yu Zhaohan hesitated. A high-cold person who occasionally comforts a lonely elementary school student should not be regarded as a broken person.
So, Yu Zhaohan comforted: "Don't cry, your eyes will be swollen if you cry. You still have the hope of winning the championship in the next year."
"Crying?" Shi Du turned to look at him, a little uncertain, "I'm not reconciled, but I can't cry, right?"
Yu Zhaohan: "..."
Damn it, the elementary school student didn't even cry.
"However, why not next year."
Yu Zhaohan collected himself, took two steps forward, and stopped in front of the window, letting the sunlight shine on his shoulders through the glass window. He has been pretending for many years, and he knows the importance of using light and shadow to enhance the atmosphere: "Because, next year's champion must be me."
"That's it." Shi Du seemed to feel a little more relaxed, "Can we discuss it? I really want to win the championship next year."
Yu Zhao said coldly: "I can't."
"But I don't have the year after next, only next year."
Yu Zhaohan was stunned: "Are you also terminally ill?"
Time Du: "..."
Although Yu Zhaohan didn't have much friendship with Shi Du, sometimes he was not pleasing to the eye. But he had to admit that Shi Du was the top short-gun player in the country, and the loss of him by the national team was barely considered a major loss.
"I'm sorry." Yu Zhaohan's voice softened a little, "But next year's champion will still be me."
Shi Du smiled angrily: "I'm healthy, thank you. Wait, why did you use 'also'?"
Yu Zhaohan ignored Shi Du's question: "That's why."
Shi Du hesitated for two seconds, and said, "I promised my parents that I will only take two years off from school to play e-sports."
Yu Zhaohan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sneered, and said bluntly: "If you really have such thoughts, I advise you to retire immediately."
Shi Du raised his eyebrows: "How?"
"Since you are willing to add a time limit to your dream and forget it if you can't catch it, it proves that you don't really want it."
Shi Du was silent for a long time, and asked, "What about you? How long will you fight?"
"Me?" Yu Zhaohan chuckled, turned around in the light beam, facing the sun, with a shimmer on his body, "I will keep hitting until I can't."
A gust of wind blew by, and the windows fanned the sunlight, jumping away from Yu Zhaohan's body.
Shi Du watched Yu Zhaohan's back for a long time. On his wrist, the heart rate on the dial slowly rose to 100.
Perhaps he misunderstood——Xu may be right, Yu Zhaohan has such a character in the first place, and he is not pretending.
Just when Shi Du was considering whether to make a small apology for his words and deeds at the dinner table, Yu Zhaohan thought he moved slightly to the right, allowing himself to stand in the center of the light beam again, and forcibly became the victim. The chosen ones.
Time Du: "..."
Well, he was not mistaken.
He was almost pretended by Yu Zhaohan again, so it's impossible to guard against.
