When Lotte heard the voice, he turned to look at Lou Haihang, with a brief surprise on his face. Then he frowned and reprimanded seriously in the tone he used when he was the captain: "It's only three o'clock in the afternoon. Why are you running out without training?"
Lou Haihang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this familiar tone. He took two slow steps in front of Lotte, turned around and sat next to him, and said lazily: "I am a reserve. The coach is busy training the officially participating players, so let's let him
I'm free to make arrangements."
"I asked you to be a reserve, do you really think of yourself as a reserve?" Lotte glanced at him with contempt, "Shame on you."
"What about you, you disappeared for more than a month, and now you still think of yourself as my captain?" Lou Haihang responded without any hesitation.
"You don't have to worry about my business!"
"You have nothing to do with my affairs!"
The two of them shut their mouths angrily and sat on the wooden chairs together, ignoring each other. The atmosphere became very awkward for a time.
They both came from the same team and shared the same pain of losing the team. However, after meeting, they both scorned the other's current state and did not want to mention their own subsequent experiences.
When Lou Haihang calmed down, he suddenly noticed something strange and couldn't help but ask: "Hey, are you waiting for someone here?"
Lotte struggled uncomfortably for a while and said, "I have something to do with your captain, but it happened to be two o'clock when I came here. I just wanted to wait until you finished training before going in."
"You've been sitting here since two o'clock?!" Lou Haihang was shocked. He stood up, picked up Lotte's backpack, swung it on his back, and said, "Come on, I'll take you in!"
"I'm waiting for Lu Yunqian here. I'll leave after saying a few words." Letian didn't move, still sitting on the wooden chair.
"Wait? It's already five o'clock when they finish training. Why are you sitting here doing it?" Lou Haihang shouted angrily.
Lotte was silent. Although he had already been to Team Zero One Club once and was not a stranger, it was still very difficult for him to take the initiative to walk through the door. He did not want to be seen by those young players who were at their peak, and he did not want them to think of what he had done before.
I don't want to be treated with pity by others.
——Just finish talking to Lu Yunqian about EDO and leave.
Lotte recited the purpose of coming here again in his mind.
Lou Haihang seemed to have seen through Lotte's thoughts, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull him up from the chair: "Come on, no matter what your plans are, now you are the guest and I am the host, so let me invite you in for a drink of water! Lou!
There is also my personal dormitory, how about we go play some games?"
Letian sighed, and at this moment, they both saw a familiar figure walking across from them.
"Ah, Xiao... Coach Xiao." Lou Haihang shouted hurriedly. After realizing that he had sneaked out, he immediately scratched his head in embarrassment and returned his gaze to his toes.
"It turns out you two are here, so I asked why there are people chatting outside at this time." Xiao Yuan put the cigarette case in his hand back into his pocket, then looked at Lotte gently, "Here you go, let's go, what's the matter?
Let’s go in and talk about it.”
Xiao Yuan's relaxed tone was like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time. There was no unnecessary politeness but full of intimacy, which made Lotte relax a lot. Lou Haihang quickly walked in front and opened the door of the club for the two of them.
, waited for them to enter, and then walked in with the big bag on his back.
As expected, there was no one in the club hall. Only slight noises could be heard from the second floor, proving that the team was indeed concentrating on training. Lotte suddenly felt nostalgic in her heart, nostalgic for the days of training in the club, and nostalgic for being with her teammates.
The days of endless quarrels about cooperation are gone forever.
"Xiaolou, take Lotte's things to your room first, and I will arrange a place for him later." Xiao Yuan ordered Lou Haihang, and suddenly remembered something, and added: "Hey, and let Qian
Akane came to me."
"Yes, coach!"
Lou Haihang quickly ran to the dormitory elevator, leaving Lotte next to Xiao Yuan.
Lotte looked at Lou Haihang's cheerful back, and felt in a daze that he was completely different from the Lou Haihang before.
"He trusts you very much." Letian said enviously.
"I also trust him very much." Xiao Yuan smiled, pointed to the right and said, "This way, go to my tea room and sit."
After entering Xiao Yuan's tea room, a faint scent of tea immediately penetrated Lotte's nose, which was completely different from Yuan Bin's office full of cigarette smell. The furnishings inside were also very simple, with bookshelves, sofas, desks, and a simple tea table.
.
Xiao Yuan invited Letian to take a seat, and then poured him a cup of clear and light yellow tea. Letian sat cautiously on the sofa, thinking about how to speak.
"Have you been living in City C this month?" Suddenly, Xiao Yuan asked first.
"Oh, um..." Letian nodded.
"I don't think you will leave City C immediately. Now that you can let go of the past and come to me, let's start over again!" Xiao Yuan took a sip of tea and said gently, "The team has games this week. Wait for me next week.
Just arrange the procedures for you to join the team, what are your salary requirements?"
"What?" Letian looked at Xiao Yuan blankly, seeming to have heard wrongly.
"Salary requirements." Xiao Yuan repeated it seriously.
Letian was stunned, then shook his head: "Coach Xiao, I'm not here to join the team."
"Huh?" This time it was Xiao Yuan's turn to be stunned and look at him doubtfully.
Letian opened his mouth and was about to tell the real reason why he came here when there was a knock on the door outside the office.
Lu Yunqian pushed the door open and entered with a look of joy on her face when she saw Letian sitting there. She waved her hand in greeting with a shy expression, and then sat next to him.
Xiao Yuandi gave Lu Yunqian a cup of tea, then got up and went to the computer to open the game and logged in to the Hengdao Yijian account.
"You're finally here! Lou Haihang can have a partner! Hey, you didn't know that when he came to see me just now, he was as happy as a 150-pound fat man, and he secretly told me that he wanted to arrange your flight at
Next to him, I will play combinations with you in the future!" Lu Yunqian said happily, and then blinked her eyes mischievously, "I agree to everything!"
"Ah?" Lotte twitched the corner of his mouth, "Why are you all like this, just arranging everything without asking me?"
"Ask, what are you asking for?" Lu Yunqian was stunned like an idiot, then looked at Xiao Yuan, "You haven't talked about it yet?"
"I'm not here to join the team, I'm just here to remind you to change your game tactics against EDO. If you continue to play like last time, you will definitely not make it to the finals!" Lotte finally revealed his purpose and took a deep breath.
"Change tactics?" Xiao Yuan sat back in his seat, narrowed his eyes, and asked with interest, "Why?"
"You have played at most two games with EDO. These two games do not represent EDO's true strength. You know too little about them. But I have played with them for three years. Their strengths and weaknesses have made me aware of them.
It’s very clear, so I know how to win EDO better than you do.” Lotte said solemnly.
