Chapter 9 My company will not leave you alone 3
After finally dealing with the last few reporters and angry onlookers who insisted on staying outside the company, Gu Nan returned to the company exhausted. When he was still hesitating about how to comfort Yuan Ye, he found that he was sitting in the practice room on the third floor with full energy, sitting next to a team member and discussing something.
And Ye Xiaoling...
"Gu Nan, how are things going outside?" Ye Xiaoling, who was practicing the second round of battles with Mu Mu, immediately spotted Gu Nan and threw the mouse over and ran over. "Will they continue to release news that is unfavorable to Yuan Ye?"
Gu Nan barely took a breath, glanced at Yuan Ye with some doubt, and answered: "There will still be negative news, and there is no most direct solution at present." As he spoke , he quietly lowered his voice and asked carefully, "How is Yuan Ye?"
"Ah...you mean him? He's in pretty good shape!" Ye Xiaoling's smile suddenly revealed a bit of foxy cunningness.
Although this guy always says that he just wants to find some fun things around Yuan Ye, when it comes to the most critical moment, he is the one who is most worried about Yuan Ye, okay?
Gu Nan felt uncomfortable being looked at by her, so he simply coughed twice and changed the subject very unnaturally: "What should we do next? Do we need to ask Uncle Yuan to come forward to solve the problem?"
After all, if one wants to control the current situation, Yuan Ye’s strength alone is definitely not enough.
As soon as the voice fell, Ye Xiaoling's smile deepened. She blinked and was about to say something, but she heard Yuan Ye beside her suddenly said lightly: "I have come up with a few simple coping plans for the time being, and I am waiting for you to come back to discuss it."
As he spoke, he quickly opened several already organized files from the computer, pointed his slender finger at the top, and signaled Gu Nan to come over with his eyes.
Gu Nan's steps became a little hesitant: the atmosphere between these two people seemed to be a little bit wrong!
But the crisis at hand had not been resolved yet, so he could only choose to come to Yuan Ye obediently. He first glanced at the content on the screen, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked loudly: "NEST competition? Have you decided to participate?"
As the most watched e-sports competition in the country, its influence in the entire e-sports circle is naturally immeasurable. The total amount of its champion rewards has reached nearly one million. Every time it is held, it will attract enthusiastic attention and pursuit from people from all walks of life. Yuan Ye chose to join the competition at this time. Could it be...
"Yuan Ye said that choosing silence at this time is not the best solution. Instead, it will lead to more doubts." Ye Xiaoling slowly walked to the computer. "So he thinks that the most important thing now is to prove one's own strength."
After all, only by achieving outstanding results can you gain everyone's recognition, right?
Gu Nan thought about it seriously and asked anxiously, "But there is not much time left before the competition starts."
"So..." Ye Xiaoling deliberately stretched out her voice and puffed out her chest, "I'm going to start the devil training on him!"
Originally, one of her tasks when she joined the team was to provide correct operational guidance to the team members. Now that the levels of other members have been stable and normal, she can naturally focus all her attention on Yuan Ye!
not to mention……
She couldn't help but give Yuan Ye a confident smile.
She believes that Yuan Ye will be a smart and outstanding "student", and she will be a dedicated and responsible "mentor". After all, she is also a qualified coach in the eyes of the children of Huayuanguan!
"Devilish training?" Gu Nan almost bit his tongue. "Please, Ye Xiaoling! Let's not talk about whether we have enough time. Do you know that Yuan Ye's game operation is simply..." As he spoke, he couldn't help but carefully glanced at Yuan Ye's expression and swallowed his saliva. "It's still a bit difficult."
The corners of the mouths of several players in the practice room twitched a few times, as if they were trying hard to hold back their laughter, but no one dared to actually laugh out loud.
Yuan Ye raised his eyebrows, and a chilling smile appeared on his calm face. Gu Nan shuddered at the sight, and just as he was about to run away, he heard his calm voice in his ears: "I have confidence."
Ye Xiaoling also quickly raised her hand: "I have confidence too!"
After saying that, the two smiled at each other again, as if they didn't care at all about the various looks around them, and had completely integrated into the world as if no one was around.
Gu Nan was startled at first, then he exclaimed, his eyes moving between them meaningfully, and he couldn't help but ask, "What happened during the time I was away?"
Why did he always have a feeling that the tacit understanding between these two people was growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even had a strange feeling that he was excluded?
This feeling made him very uncomfortable !
Thinking of what just happened, Ye Xiaoling's face flashed a suspicious red, and she quickly lowered her eyes and muttered softly: "Nothing! Tell me quickly, is this plan feasible?"
As she spoke, she reached out and rubbed her slightly hot cheeks.
Strange! He was so calm in saying "I'm with you" in front of Yuan Ye just a moment ago, but why did he find it difficult to say it when facing Gu Nan?
Yuan Ye's eyes were filled with smiles, and he changed the subject unconsciously: "Whether it is feasible or not, this is the only way now. Gu Nan, the matter of the NEST competition team list is left to you. As for the substitute, you can only remain silent for the time being."
Although he was very unwilling, Gu Nan could only hum a few times and agreed: "Okay! I will also release some vague statements on the Internet in the next few days, hoping to temporarily suppress the heat of this incident. So, when do you plan to start training?"
Finally getting to the point, Ye Xiaoling immediately came to a decisive conclusion: "From now on!"
After all, the opening event of the NEST competition is just around the corner, and they must make good use of every minute and every second to engage in a fierce race against time!
Yuan Ye also nodded in agreement, and then turned to Gu Nan and said, "I'll trouble you with the rest."
After saying that, he didn't give Gu Nan the chance to continue asking questions. He nodded to Ye Xiaoling, and the two of them walked to the two computers in the corner and opened the game icon of "Blood War" on the screen...
Gu Nan stood there in amazement for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and pinched himself hard on the face!
He was not mistaken. Yuan Ye was not depressed, but became more motivated? And why did Ye Xiaoling also look so motivated?
The other team members seemed to have noticed and continued to sit in front of their computers and operate their own computers. For a while, the only sounds in the practice room were the sounds of the mouse and keyboard. On the contrary, he seemed very abrupt when he was left here alone...
Gu Nan scratched his head, trying hard to resist the urge to ask more questions. Remembering that there were still countless things outside that had not been dealt with, he could only look at the backs of Yuan Ye and Ye Xiaoling reluctantly. Finally, he sighed and quietly walked out of the company building.
Why did he suddenly have the tragic illusion that he would die alone?
In the next few days, Ye Xiaoling showed up at Yuan Ye's practice room on time almost every day, and completely started what she called the "devil training mode". She stayed in front of the two computers in the corner without sleep and food, carefully watching Yuan Ye's every operation and action, and ruthlessly pointed out any mistakes that had occurred or had not yet occurred. The severity of her severity made the members who couldn't help but secretly watch on the side sweat: This new beautiful coach seems to be much more terrifying than imagined...
However, Yuan Ye did not show any impatience during such intensive training. Instead, he would occasionally smile when looking at Ye Xiaoling...
Just train well and don’t show off your love so casually!
It was another morning. Mu Mu, who was the first to arrive at the practice room, was holding a few cups of hot coffee as usual. The moment he pushed open the door, he saw Ye Xiaoling and Yuan Ye already sitting in front of the computer. The two were pointing at the enlarged game map on the screen and arguing about something.
"The plan you mentioned still has some flaws." Yuan Ye frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the lower right corner of the map. "There are too many hidden places here, and it is easy to be besieged by the enemy. Wouldn't all the previous efforts be wasted?"
"But this is also the easiest place to capture!" Ye Xiaoling retorted unyieldingly, "As long as the operating skills are in place and the coordination is perfect, the chances of victory are still very high!"
Yuan Ye pursed his lips thoughtfully, then slowly shook his head: "These are all unpredictable situations after the game begins, remember them first..."
Remember it first?
Ye Xiaoling couldn't help but snort, but the corners of her mouth rose uncontrollably.
This guy must just feel embarrassed because his ideas were questioned but he had no reason to continue arguing, right?
Although he could think of the best solutions to various difficult emergencies that occurred in his daily life, Yuan Ye really acted like a child throwing a tantrum at this time.
As if he didn't notice Ye Xiaoling's meaningful look, Yuan Ye carefully wrote down what they had just discussed on the game plan. Then he yawned tiredly, but continued to keep his eyes open and clicked on the game icon: "Let's practice the plans we mentioned before again?"
Ye Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, turned her head and looked at Yuan Ye for a long while, her gaze fixed on the dark circles under his eyes, and her heart suddenly felt a little sour.
The training volume these days is really heavy. Sometimes she doesn't even have time to return to the gym and can only rest in the practice room. When she wakes up late at night, she can still see Yuan Ye sitting in front of the computer, stubbornly blending into the dim light, so fragile, yet so strong.
He must really want to prove his hard work to everyone, right?
Although Ye Xiaoling's body was almost exhausted by the high-intensity training these days, she suddenly felt strength re-infused into her body when she saw the expectation in Yuan Ye's eyes. She nodded brightly, "Okay! This time, choose a different role and give it a try!"
Yuan Ye pursed his lips and smiled, adjusted his sitting position, and set up a new game again.
So both of them turned their attention back to the game on the screen, and no one paid attention to Mumu holding a cup of coffee behind them, as if he had completely turned into a transparent air man.
Mumu stood there blankly for a long time, and suddenly a strange idea popped into his mind: If he continued to stay here, would he seem a little redundant?
After thinking it over, he stood on tiptoe and put the coffee on the table. He was about to leave quietly, but suddenly he heard a powerful and piercing scream coming from the corridor behind him: "Ye Xiaoling! Where are you? Come out now!"
This shout not only scared Mu Mu who was planning to retreat temporarily, but also successfully attracted the attention of Yuan Ye and Ye Xiaoling. They turned their heads in unison and looked in the direction of the corridor, only to see Lu Yan, carrying large bags of food in his hands, rushing towards the practice room, followed by his senior brother Ling Zheng who looked worried.
Ye Xiaoling's thoughts jumped out of the game. She looked at it with some suspicion for a few seconds, then jumped up from her chair: "Lü Yan? Why are you here?"
It seemed like she hadn't seen Lu Yan for a long time.
Lu Yan rushed into the practice room angrily: "You still remember my name? I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago. After all, it's been so long and you haven't even sent me a WeChat message."
Ye Xiaoling smiled guiltily, and her eyes stayed on Yuan Ye for a moment with some embarrassment: "I have a lot of things to do these days, I'm sorry."
"Is there something?" Lu Yan deliberately dragged out her voice and looked at Yuan Ye's face with gossip. Then, as if she understood something, she said "Oh", "It seems to be a very important matter..."
As soon as she heard Lu Yan's weird tone, she knew she was going to say something weird again. Ye Xiaoling's cheeks flushed, and she hurried forward to cover her mouth, but she saw that she had been prepared and dodged a few steps, shaking the bag in her hand: "Actually, I don't want to see you! It's Ling Zheng, you've been going out early and coming back late these days, and your rest time is irregular. I made so many delicious things for you and asked me to send them over. You're really lucky!"
Ye Xiaoling was startled, and when she looked up, she saw Ling Zheng behind her looking at her with a smile.
These days she has been spending most of her time in Yuan Ye's company giving him rigorous training. Not only does the senior brother have to worry about the affairs of the gym, but he is also worried about herself?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoling smiled gratefully at Ling Zheng: "Big Brother, don't worry about me! I will return to Huayuan Pavilion when this is over!"
Ling Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "As long as I am here to take care of the gym, I am just worried that you will be exhausted from working so hard all day, not to mention..." He suddenly lowered his voice, "I feel relieved to have Yuan Ye taking care of you."
Although his voice was very low, the practice room was so quiet that Yuan Ye in the corner could hear it clearly.
Ye Xiaoling's face turned even redder. She looked at Yuan Ye in panic and was about to explain something, but she found that although Yuan Ye had his back to them, his ears were also stained with a bright red.
What the hell? Is this guy shy too?
She pursed her lips for a few times, but she couldn't control the smile on her lips, which formed an extremely sweet arc. Lu Yan, who was standing by, saw everything and immediately called out to her softly. Without saying a word, she dragged Ye Xiaoling all the way to the other end of the corridor, shaking her shoulders and repeatedly asking, "Am I seeing things? I must be seeing things! Do you like Yuan Ye?"
Ye Xiaoling, the thousand-year-old wooden man, finally fell in love? She actually blushed when talking about a man? It's really rare!
Moreover, this person who devotes all his attention to the gym all day long would actually choose to accompany Yuan Ye to play the game every day, and he looks so excited at that?
Ye Xiaoling's heart stagnated, and a warm and hot feeling slowly flowed through her body, causing the temperature on her cheeks to continue to rise rapidly.
This feeling...is it love?
"He...will help me solve problems easily when I encounter difficulties, will stand up for me when I am in danger, and will comfort me when I am sad, and I..." She slowly sorted out her thoughts, and felt that an answer she had never thought of was gradually becoming clear, "I feel very happy when I am with him, and I can participate in the process of him realizing his dreams. No matter how hard it is, I feel very lucky..."
Lu Yan nodded excitedly: "And then?"
Ye Xiaoling paused, and a gleam of light in her eyes brightened up: "In short, as long as he is by my side, I will not want to give up or retreat no matter how big the difficulties are. I can rely on him, and it will make me feel very happy. I, I think..." Her voice became clearer as her thoughts gradually became clearer, "I like him!"
Her father once told her that every minute and every second with her mother was a happy one. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, as long as they could accompany each other, everything would become easy.
Because they are two people who like each other!
This should be the feeling she has when she is with Yuan Ye, right?
Oh my god——
Lu Yan was stunned when he heard this, and when he came to his senses, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
Did these words actually come from Ye Xiaoling’s mouth?
Can love really change a person?
"So, what are you going to do next? Confess? Go for it bravely! I will always be behind you to support you!" Lu Yan said as he whispered in her ear slyly, "I have a lot of love secrets here..."
The atmosphere suddenly changed. Ye Xiaoling pushed her away with a frown on her face. "What secret? The most important thing now should be to help Yuan Ye enter the NEST competition, right?"
Puff——
The two flames of love in Lu Yan's eyes were instantly extinguished without even a spark left.
It seems that she still can't figure out what's in Ye Xiaoling's head...
So she sighed in resentment, but still unrepentantly wanted to teach Ye Xiaoling, a love novice, some relevant necessary knowledge as much as possible. But just as she opened her mouth, a burst of anxious footsteps sounded behind her. Gu Nan was holding a thick stack of information, walking towards Ye Xiaoling with an angry look on his face, and asked directly: "Xiaoling, is Yuan Ye here?"
Ye Xiaoling was startled by Gu Nan's behavior, and had a bad feeling in her heart: "He is in the practice room? What happened?"
Could it be that the criticism against Yuan Ye on the Internet has become increasingly serious and has reached a point where it cannot be reversed?
Gu Nan gritted his teeth, clenched the information in his hand, and cursed softly: "Damn it! I should have thought it was her!" Then, with a sullen face, he whispered to Ye Xiaoling, "The matter of Yuan Ye's proxy training video has been investigated. It was indeed done intentionally by someone, and we are all familiar with this person."
Ye Xiaoling's heart was pounding, almost hanging in her throat: "Who is it?"
Lu Yan, who was also paying close attention to this matter, stared intently with his eyes wide open.
Gu Nan's expression became more and more ugly. The corners of his lips trembled a few times but he still said nothing. Finally, he raised the information in his hand, turned to the first page, and stuffed it directly into Ye Xiaoling's hand.
Ye Xiaoling couldn't wait to look at the information, her brows knitted together seriously, for fear of missing out on a crucial piece of information.
suddenly.
All the color instantly drained from her cheeks.
As if she had suffered a huge blow, she staggered back a few steps and almost dropped the information in her hand to the ground.
Lu Yan also looked at it suspiciously, and when he saw the content clearly, he just stood there, covering his mouth tightly, not daring to make any sound.
At the beginning of the information, there were several very familiar names written:
A Nai.
