Chapter 10 Our Journey is the Sea of Stars 4
In the following semi-finals and finals, their team was unstoppable in sprinting towards the championship. In particular, the perfect tacit cooperation between Yuan Ye and Luan Ma amazed everyone. It had been a long time since they had seen such an exciting game.
What matters most in team games is not the so-called operating skills and experience, but the cooperation and understanding between team members. If there is no mutual trust, even the most powerful game master cannot win alone without teammates, right?
Even if that were true, the joy of victory would certainly be gone.
Early morning of the final day.
Several members were sitting in the main hall of the lounge, all in high spirits, burying their heads in reading the game materials that they had already memorized. The bitter aroma of coffee filled the air.
Ye Xiaoling and Yuan Ye sat side by side on the sofa not far away. They were also staring intently at the replay of the semi-final video on the computer screen in front of them, and from time to time they reached out and pointed at the screen.
"Don't be too impulsive next time you meet the same type of opponent. The timing of your exposure was wrong. I was really scared at that time. Fortunately, the opponent didn't react at that time, otherwise it would be really dangerous!" Ye Xiaoling said seriously.
Yuan Ye, who was sitting next to her, smiled slightly, and considerately pushed the coffee in front of her, and responded softly: "I know."
"This is your habit! You promised me the same thing not long ago!" Ye Xiaoling glared angrily, "Did you really remember it this time?"
Facing her merciless accusations, Yuan Ye's face did not show any trace of impatience. Instead, he continued to nod obediently: "How can I prove it to you if you don't believe me?"
The two people's voices were neither loud nor low, but they were enough to attract the attention of other members.
But they just looked in the direction of the two people with slightly blushing cheeks out of the corner of their eyes.
There is a hint of warm ambiguity flowing slowly in the air.
"Hey - I really can't stand it anymore!" Someone finally spoke up to break the atmosphere, but it was Lu Yan with a frown on his face, "Is this considered a blatant display of affection?"
Upon learning that the team had successfully made it to the finals, she and Ling Zheng could not contain their excitement and came to the stadium to cheer them on, but they did not expect to have to watch these two people being so close to each other all day long.
What about the excitement before the match? Why didn't she feel it at all? And why did the members look like they were used to it?
Is she abnormal?
Ling Zheng beside him couldn't help but laugh.
Ye Xiaoling, who was originally giving Yuan Ye "pre-match guidance", suddenly heard the three people "showing affection". She was stunned at first, and then her cheeks flushed. She subconsciously wanted to refute, but she heard Yuan Ye's voice sounding faintly, and she could vaguely hear a bit of ridicule: "This can be regarded as a way to relieve pre-match tension."
As he said this, as if he wanted to prove something to Lu Yan, he naturally spread out his palm and held Ye Xiaoling's left hand in his palm.
Ye Xiaoling lowered her eyes and did not struggle to break free . Instead, she smiled shyly in Lu Yan's direction.
It seems like there is really nothing to hide about this kind of thing, right?
Lu Yan stayed there at first, and then, as if someone had hit him on the head, he covered his mouth exaggeratedly, then stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Xiaoling and Yuan Ye tremblingly, and was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time!
Ye Xiaoling actually agreed? That stupid and thick-skinned Ye Xiaoling?
It seems that the changes that love has brought to her are really incomparable! At this moment, she actually felt a kind of girlish, soft and sweet breath from Ye Xiaoling, which was something that the violent female King Kong had never seen before!
While Lu Yan was trying to suppress his excitement, he wanted to catch Ye Xiaoling and interrogate her, but just after he took a few steps, he heard a creaking sound behind him and the door of the lounge was pushed open.
The first person to come in was Gunan.
His expression was somewhat ugly, with a very forced smile on the corner of his lips. Then he turned his head and said coldly to the person behind him: "Come in."
Ye Xiaoling raised her red cheeks and, like the other team members, looked towards the door with some confusion.
There are less than two hours left before the finals match starts. Who would come at this time?
suddenly!
Her eyes were fixed on the figure that slowly walked in from behind the door.
Yuan Ye's expression suddenly became cold and his brows were slightly wrinkled.
Because Anai, who had not been seen for a long time, was wringing his hands and walking slowly in from the door step by step.
Lu Yan's surprised expression also stayed on her face in a funny way. She stared at Anai in disbelief for a few seconds, and then shouted angrily: "How dare you show up in front of Xiao Ling?"
She had already heard from Ling Zheng that she had deliberately released the video of Yuan Ye playing for her! She had also secretly withheld Xiao Ling's video income!
An Nai was frightened by her intense reaction and subconsciously took a few steps back, but then he gritted his teeth as if he had thought of something and walked straight towards Yuan Ye!
Amid the disgusted or questioning gazes of the crowd, she stood in front of Yuan Ye with a pale face, but as if she was intentionally avoiding Ye Xiaoling's gaze, she lowered her head even more.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me." An Nai took a deep breath, with tears in his voice that could not be concealed, "I was wrong."
There was no emotion in Yuan Ye's eyes. He just looked at her silently, but it seemed as if he was looking at a corner behind her.
Ye Xiaoling's heart ached deeply.
At that moment, she really wanted to go up to her, pat her shoulder and comfort her softly, just like she did in the past, but what about this time?
She sighed in disappointment.
What An Nai did caused irreparable serious impact not only to her, but also to Yuan Ye and the entire "Nirvana", and it was done on purpose!
If Gu Nan hadn't brought those irrefutable materials, she would have stood in front of him and apologized humbly at this moment...
Not getting the answer she expected, An Nai's expression began to become flustered: "I... I came here to sincerely apologize to you! I was confused for a moment to do that, I just, just..." Two lines of tears finally fell, "Yuan Ye, please don't block my future after graduation! I have received the information, if it is passed to the school..."
She was crying so hard that she couldn't even speak.
After hearing this, Yuan Ye's calm face finally showed a trace of surprise: "Blocking your path to graduation?"
Anai covered her face and nodded desperately.
Yuan Ye frowned: "I have never done such a thing."
No matter what, An Nai was once one of Xiao Ling's best friends. Even if he really wanted to teach An Nai a lesson, he would never hide it from Xiao Ling.
"Of course you didn't do it, because someone has already done it for you." Gu Nan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, turning his eyes away from An Nai in disgust, "It was Uncle Yuan."
Yuan Ye's body trembled, and he retorted almost subconsciously: "Impossible!"
"What's impossible? Are you doubting my ability to investigate this incident? " Gu Nan snorted coldly, but couldn't help but curl his lips in pleasure. "In fact, I have suspected it for a long time, but it has been in the investigation stage. Uncle Yuan has actually been behind you to help you deal with those messy trivial matters, but he never told you."
Ye Xiaoling also looked up in surprise, and looking at Yuan Ye's face which was still full of "disbelief", she couldn't help but raise her hand and shake his arm.
This guy... has he lost the ability to think because he was too shocked?
The cold and rigid face of Yuan Ye's father appeared in front of her eyes, but a warm feeling began to spread in her heart.
Yuan Chengyi still cares very much about his "willful" son!
"We all have to cheer for the finals , especially you—" Seeing Yuan Ye's rare surprised expression, Gu Nan did not forget to leave another heavy blow, "Uncle Yuan asked me to tell you that he doesn't have time to come to the competition site, but he will still take time to pay attention to every move here."
Yuan Ye's cheeks flushed, and he turned around awkwardly, saying stiffly, "I know." Then he pretended to be calm and checked the time on his phone, "The game is about to start, everyone get ready and go!"
As he said this, he actually walked towards the door on his own, but staggered in front of everyone and almost fell to the ground.
Puff!
Gu Nan let out a chuckle unscrupulously!
Ye Xiaoling also suppressed the smile that was about to burst out, and wanted to step forward to catch up with Yuan Ye's steps, but she felt her arm sink and was held there tightly by An Nai, unable to move.
"Xiao Ling, will you forgive me?" An Nai asked sobbingly.
Ye Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, then she smiled calmly: "I forgive you, but we are no longer friends."
She could forgive An Nai for deceiving her, but she could not forgive her for the harm she had brought to Yuan Ye and the team members.
So... they are no longer friends.
An Nai's face turned pale as paper in an instant, her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something else, but when she saw Ye Xiaoling's firm and calm expression, she finally withdrew her hand softly and left the lounge without saying a word.
Watching her gradually receding figure, Ye Xiaoling couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat, but suddenly she felt someone pushing her hard from behind. She couldn't react in time and staggered, bumping into Yuan Ye's shoulder!
It hurts so much!
She rubbed her aching chin as if awakened from a dream, and looked behind her in confusion, only to see Lu Yan waving at her proudly and saying loudly: "The game is about to start, what useless things are you still thinking about? Yuan Ye is still waiting for you!"
Several team members walked by one after another.
Yuan Ye stood quietly beside her, his brown eyes filled with tenderness and expectation as warm as the spring breeze.
Ye Xiaoling's heart moved, as if the buds that had been buried deep in her soul had finally blossomed into colorful and magnificent flowers, decorating her blank world with colour.
Yes! He is still waiting for her and will always be by her side. Their dream will continue...
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoling held her breath, tightly held Yuan Ye's warm hand, followed the figures of several team members in front of her, and pulled him all the way to the hall of the finals.
The first rays of sunlight in the early morning shone through the window, just in time to flash across the "Nirvana" logo on their team jerseys.
The noisy voices in the hall were getting closer.
At this moment, nothing can stop their determined steps.
On the road to our dreams, we are always together.
Come on! Youth!
