who's next

Chapter 60

Ji Huai's plan was well planned, and he pretended to join the team to dispel Cheng Jie's vigilance, and then took the opportunity to talk.He doesn't expect to get industry secrets from smart social people, but at least it can point out the direction for him to investigate six incidents.

Unfortunately, reality is often unsatisfactory.

Cheng Jie's requirements are very strict, and it is not easy to win the first place in the single row match.Regardless of whether the great masters from all walks of life will participate in the competition, it is almost a fantasy for him to say that Ji Huai has never touched the top three.

After much deliberation, Ji Huaisi decided to release Ruan Yuchen from the blacklist.

He jumped up from the bed, turned over and unplugged the mobile phone that was charging by the desk, and resolutely found that there were more than ten missed calls from the same strange number on the interface.

While he was wondering, the number called again.

"Hey?"

"Ji Huai, I know you hate me, but now is not the time to be arrogant, you can't join the GW team. I beg you, don't go, okay?"

Ji Huai was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "When are you free, let's meet and discuss in detail."

Ruan Yuchen: "?"

He was completely stunned, and his brain was shut down for tens of seconds before he slowly came back to his senses, and he couldn't speak fluently: "Okay... I, I'll go find you?"

"Since I asked you out, let me go find you. See you on Saturday."

A few minutes after hanging up the phone, Ruan Yuchen still felt as if he had passed away, his head was groggy, and he was as emptiness as if he was stepping on cotton.

His fingertips lightly rubbed the familiar number on the call interface, with lingering nostalgia, as if he wanted to engrave it into his bone marrow.

……

Ji Huai's sleep quality is not very good recently. On the one hand, he has to review, and on the other hand, he has to save Ruan Yuchen from dire straits.

He entered the station as if he was sleepwalking and got on the high-speed rail, then got off the train in a daze after hearing the voice announcement, and followed the crowd out of the station.

Ruan Yuchen had been waiting at the exit for a long time, and suddenly saw Ji Huai floating past his eyes like a ghost.

"Here, where are you going?" Ruan Yuchen grabbed Ji Huai's arm, and then he opened his eyes as if waking up from a dream, his eyes gradually focused, and he looked at Ruan Yuchen carefully.

His bangs grew a lot, covering the emotions in his eyes, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

What Ji Huai cares about is Ruan Yuchen's temperament. If he was a handsome and noble son before, now he is only sluggish.Beauty is beauty, but a little agility is missing.Like a burnt cigarette, it is willing to degenerate into ashes.

Seeing Ji Huai, Ruan Yuchen was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to take a step forward, and asked flatteringly, "Are you hungry? Let's find a place to eat first?"

Ji Huai nodded silently with a complicated expression.

In order not to be disturbed, they walked into an elegant dessert shop and booked a small box.

"Esports is not for you."

"Why do you hate GW?"

The two spoke at the same time, stared at each other for a moment and then smiled.

Ji Huai took a sip of lemon soda and said calmly, "I actually want to inquire about Liuchu."

Ruan Yuchen's eyes flashed a strange, fleeting moment: "Why do you want to inquire about him?"

"I think this person is mysterious and weird, and I'm a little curious."

Ruan Yuchen's eyes slowly shifted from Ji Huai to the slightly rippling soda water in the glass, and he didn't take it seriously: "There is nothing to be curious about, just a poor bastard who violated the rules and was banned by the upper echelons."

Then he changed the subject: "Why are you suddenly interested in Liuchu?"

Ji Huai said: "Didn't Ning Xuzhi instigate this? He said that you might want to become a coach in GW, worried that the pure white lotus flower of your idol would be polluted like Liuchu."

Ruan Yuchen: "..."

"People have retired for so many years, and the grass on the grave is several feet deep, so let him go." Ruan Yuchen raised the corners of his lips, and his tone was as soft as a feather, "So, you are doing it for me?"

"You can say that." Ji Huai subconsciously responded, and then changed his words, "But don't get me wrong, I..."

"I know, you're just protecting your weaknesses." Ruan Yuchen's face was calm as usual, and he quickly answered the words to hide the bitter taste in his mouth.

Ji Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to discuss his plan with Ruan Yuchen: "I didn't even think about playing professionally, I just wanted to know what the GW that Liu Chu had betrayed was like. Don't meddle in it, and make money with peace of mind. .”

Ruan Yuchen's tense nerves were relaxed because of Ji Huai's serious nonsense. He smiled lightly and stared at Ji Huai with his chin in his hand: "According to what you said, wouldn't it be more reasonable for me to investigate? You are just a student, I can count Half an insider."

Ji Huai was stunned for three seconds, then frowned and said, "I almost forgot, so why are you going to GW? Is there a player you like in the team?"

Ruan Yuchen shook his head inscrutablely.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Ji Huai bowed his head and pondered on his own, a sudden flash of light came to his mind.He got up and put his hands on the table, looked at Ruan Yuchen with the posture of a superior, and said with great certainty: "Since you know that I intend to join GW... Cheng Jie told you, right? He invited you?"

Ruan Yuchen looked at Ji Huai's face that was close at hand, and gave up thinking for a moment. The warm breath brushed against his cheeks, and his heart was also itchy.

Ji Huai was used to getting along with straight men, so he didn't worry too much. Seeing that Ruan Yuchen's reaction was not right, he realized that he had crossed the line, so he had to sit back in embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, there was a puddle of water leaking from the air conditioner at his feet, and Ji Huai didn't notice for a moment that the chair was about to come into close contact with the ground.Ruan Yuchen hastily grabbed his wrist and brought him into his arms, preventing Ji Huai from landing on his head.But Ruan Yuchen fell to the ground instead of him, acting as a human cushion.

Ji Huai cursed secretly in his heart, the more he was worried about something, the more he became more and more worried. He lay on Ruan Yuchen's chest and heard his sonorous heartbeat, so embarrassed that he wanted to punch himself.

"Are you okay?" Ruan Yuchen's muffled voice came through his chest, and it sounded strangely soothing.

"I'm fine, did you bump somewhere?" Ji Huai stood up swiftly, his eyes wandering, pretending to be calm.

"I'm fine. If it weren't for the dangerous posture of your fall, I wouldn't have acted out of line." Ruan Yuchen paused, trying to explain in a cover-up manner.

It took Ji Huai a while to realize that Ruan Yuchen was afraid that he might misunderstand, so he was speechless for a while.

Silence flowed in the box, and neither of them spoke, until the waiter knocked on the door and brought in the desserts, which finally broke the deadlock.

Ji Huai tried to end the topic simply and rudely: "In short, since you don't want me to go to GW, you must be afraid that I will become like Liu Chu, so why don't we both go, how about it?"

Ruan Yuchen didn't express his opinion, but knocked on the exquisite porcelain plate: "The syrup sponge cake pudding in this store is delicious."

Ji Huai picked up a small spoon and gently scooped a small piece of pudding into his mouth. The taste was soft and mellow, with moderate sweetness, and it was indeed delicious.

"I found that you seem to have a lot of prejudice against Liuchu." Ruan Yuchen said something.

"Nonsense, people who give up their dreams and sell their teammates are not worthy of e-sports."

"Then what if... I'm Liuchu?" Ruan Yuchen's eyes were burning like a torch, and there seemed to be a flame flickering in his pupils as deep as an ancient well, "Do you think I'm a scum?"

Ji Huai: "?"
