"He was the one who played chess with me last time. Going a step further, he was the conductor of the land reclamation several times. He was also the one who played against Su Qihong on the trumpet. Going further, he was the one who played 1V1 in the finals.
That's wrong." Xiao Yuan said slowly with a faint smile.
Lu Yunqian swallowed hard, her big eyes full of disbelief: "You discovered it so early?"
"I didn't know this man was your brother at first, but I can be sure that neither the command nor the fighting came from you. It wasn't until he became more and more active in front of me that I confirmed this guess." Xiao Yuan said, "You are naive
Lively, and with his strong personality, this double act is very easy to reveal flaws. However... the fact that the person behind the scenes is your brother is so incredible that it is hard for people to think of it."
"Brother, have you ever talked to him?" Lu Yunqian asked softly.
"We talked." Xiao Yuan replied.
"In his own capacity?"
"After I told him that I had discovered his identity, he stopped hiding it and told me directly if he had anything to say."
"It's great. My brother now has friends he can talk to."
Lu Yunqian breathed a long sigh of relief and looked very pleased, but after a while the expression in her eyes changed, and the quiet sea became deep and turbulent, like the beginning of a storm.
"I have always been worried that he will feel lonely, because no one will take the initiative to talk to him in the game, and what he sees and touches is different from the real world. Even if the people he used to know are right in front of him, no matter whether he hits or shouts, they will not be able to talk to him.
I didn’t even know it was him. Even Sister Qingchuan was right next to him. He couldn’t talk to her. He just stood there as if he was an emotionless game character. Every time I see people discussing my brother, I can’t bear it many times.
I wanted to shout, 'The Lu Daoheng you like is right here! He played this game, not me!' However, even if I say it, a few people will believe it, because my brother... is really dead...
"
Lu Yunqian bit her lips tightly, holding back the urge to cry, and her lips turned white from the bite.
"Who else besides me knows that he exists in this form?" Xiao Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"And the landlady..." Lu Yunqian rubbed her eyes and suddenly laughed again, "But the landlady is very afraid of my brother. He will not talk to my brother unless he has to. He has asked me to convey it to him several times.
"
"It's hard for you." Xiao Yuan lowered his head and sighed: "If I had known that you were under such great psychological pressure, I would have told you about it earlier."
"It doesn't matter, as long as my brother is happy, it's never too late for me to know." Lu Yunqian said with a smile with a trace of tears in her eyes, "From now on, I, my silly brother, will ask you to spend more time with me. He likes to be with you."
You play chess, this is the only game he can play besides fierce battles."
"Don't worry, you will be fine, and we will all be fine." Xiao Yuan came close to Lu Yunqian and helped her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and gently pinched her pink face like a big brother.
They all laughed.
After buying the gifts for the team members, Xiao Yuan went to the front desk to check out. As soon as he received the delivery receipt from the store, an unknown caller suddenly popped up on the screen. The area was City B.
"Sir, do you still handle express delivery?" the clerk asked.
Xiao Yuan pressed the answer button and then said to the clerk: "Yes, let's do it."
"What to do? Xiao Shen, who do you want to deal with? I'll help you." The other end of the phone mistakenly thought that he was being told, and immediately asked.
"Oh, can you still treat me?" Xiao Yuan had already heard the other party's voice and asked with a smile.
"Sir, we don't have any customer service here..." the clerk replied innocently.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help laughing, and waved to Lu Yunqian, who was still looking around: "Qianqian, write down your address and I'll answer the phone."
"Here we come!" Lu Yunqian quickly put down the Mingyue Pavilion lunch box in her hand, walked to the front desk and left the address of Yuanjiang Pavilion.
When he arrived outside the store, Xiao Yuan took out a cigarette, lit it while standing in the area with a smoking sign, and asked the other end of the phone: "Any brother on the road, please sign up."
"Qianhungan, Zhao Xuan." Zhao Xuan replied simply and neatly on the phone.
"Captain Zhao, is something wrong?" Xiao Yuan slowly blew out a puff of smoke from his mouth and asked.
"I heard that you have come to City B. As the host, you should receive the representatives of the new team. I have booked the place. Will Xiao Shen take a taxi or should I pick you up?" Zhao Xuan said.
"Sorry, we have to leave City B early tomorrow morning, and now we are going back to the hotel to rest. Besides, Qianhunan will play the first game of the playoffs soon, so Captain Zhao doesn't need to be distracted by us." Xiao Yuan declined politely.
accepted Zhao Xuan's request.
"No, I still have some time. Xiao Shen, just come for dinner, don't refuse so simply! Hey, sister Qianqian also has the right to speak. If you don't want to, can you ask her?" Zhao
Xuan was anxious, remembering that Xiao Yuan refused without mercy at the All-Stars, and regretted that he should have asked for Lu Yunqian's phone number instead of Xiao Shen's phone number.
Xiao Yuan snorted, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said lightly: "Okay, I'll go find her after I finish smoking this cigarette. Smoking is prohibited in the store."
"Store? Which store are you in?" Zhao Xuan asked immediately.
"This is the store that sells your socks at Adidas prices." Xiao Yuan flicked the ash from his cigarette, with half of the cigarette left in his hand.
"I understand, just wait for me and come over right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yunqian just walked over with the bill. Seeing Xiao Yuan's eyes with a hidden smile, she guessed that the call might be a little unusual, so she asked: "Brother Xiao Yuan, are you okay?"
"Well, Zhao Xuan said he wants us to have dinner with him and he will be here soon."
"Zhao Xuan of Thousand Souls?" Lu Yunqian exclaimed, realizing that someone around her was looking over and quickly lowered her voice, "No, he, he, he wants to see us?"
"Well, do you want to go?" Xiao Yuan asked, looking at the gradually burning cigarette butts.
"Think and think! By the way! Should I buy Su Qihong as a gift to him? That puppet is so cute! Well, let's buy him a Su Qihong!"
After Lu Yunqian excitedly asked and answered herself, regardless of whether Xiao Yuan decided to go or not, she turned around and slipped into the peripheral store just now. Xiao Yuan reluctantly took the last puff of the cigarette, pressed the cigarette butt into the trash can, and raised his hand to look at
Look at the time on the watch.
——The person who came here is not kind.
Ten minutes later, a car stopped just in front of the Jiezhan peripheral store. A man wearing a black jacket and a black mask got out of the car. The man pulled up his mask uncomfortably, and then stood at the door of the store and looked around.
He seemed lost. Soon, another man in a dark blue shirt walked towards him, and the two started chatting.
