Full-time master: following you everywhere.

"How about this, let's write down all the candidates we have planned?"

After seeing that Xiao Shiqin didn't reply for a long time, he took the initiative to speak.

"Well, yes."

Xiao Shiqin nodded, and then pointed to a table next to him.

"Sit down first, then Xiao Dai..."

Xiao Shiqin looked aside as he spoke.

"Paper and pen, right? I've already got them."

Dai Yanqi, who was standing behind Xiao Shiqin, directly handed the notebook and pen in her hand to Ye Xiu and Xiao Shiqin.

"Well done!"

Ye Xiu said to Dai Yanqi with appreciation.

"Hehe, of course!"

Dai Yanqi raised her chin and said this with great pride.

"Then let's get started."

Ye Xiu glanced at Xiao Shiqin, then tore off a piece of paper from the notebook and handed it to Xiao Shiqin.

"Ah."

Xiao Shiqin nodded and took the paper handed to him.

So, under the gaze of Luo Yang and Su Mucheng who came with Ye Xiu and several other players from Thunder, the two began to write on the paper.

Although Xiao Shiqin hesitated for a long time when Ye Xiu asked just now.

But when they were asked to write their names on the paper, they both moved very quickly.

It was as if he had already chosen the candidate and he wrote the name without any pause.

In fact, Luo Yang can also understand this point.

Even if there is no such thing as the World Invitational, anyone who has served as a captain in the league will always fantasize at some point that his or her team has top players from other teams in the league.

It is not surprising that he has imagined a lineup that he has always wanted but cannot get.

Even Ye Xiu would have such thoughts.

Although this idea has now become a reality.

The current Xingxin team is not far from the perfect lineup that Ye Xiu envisioned.

A few minutes later, both sides stopped writing almost at the same time.

"Captain, your handwriting is really good... unlike some people."

Dai Yanqi picked up the list written by Xiao Shiqin, then took a look at the words on the list in front of Ye Xiu and said with a sigh.

Actually, Ye Xiu’s handwriting couldn’t be said to be ugly, but it could only be described as average.

After all, they are all professional players, and they were all internet addicts before. It is really difficult to ask such people to write well.

But I have to say that Xiao Shiqin seems to have really practiced calligraphy, and his handwriting is quite stylish.

"No one else has your attention span."

Ye Xiu said with a bit of a smile.

When Dai Yanqi first saw the list, she was not attracted by the names on it, but by the handwriting. This is really...

"Don't talk about this, just open it and take a look."

Chen Guo spoke impatiently.

"okay."

Dai Yanqi then placed the two pieces of paper in front of everyone.

The list of thirteen people on Xiao Shiqin's piece of paper is:
Yu Wenzhou, Huang Shaotian, Han Wenqing, Zhang Xinjie, Zhang Jiale, Wang Jiexi, Zhou Zekai, Sun Xiang, Ye Xiu, Luo Yang, Su Mu, Cheng Lixuan, Chu Yunxiu.

The list of thirteen people on Ye Xiu's paper is:

Su Mucheng, Luo Yang, Han Wenqing, Zhang Xinjie, Zhang Jiale, Yu Wenzhou, Huang Shaotian, Wang Jiexi, Zhou Zekai, Sun Xiang, Chu Yunxiu, Xiao Shiqin, Li Xuan.

"Oh, that's interesting."

Looking at the two pieces of paper in front of him, Ye Xiu also glanced at Xiao Shiqin meaningfully.

Because in the list above, the only difference is that Xiao Shiqin wrote Ye Xiu on his side of the paper, but not himself, while Ye Xiu wrote Xiao Shiqin on his side of the paper, but not Ye Xiu.

"Don't you think you will be selected?"

The two of them said this at the same time.

"Haha, interesting."

After seeing the other party saying the same thing as himself, Ye Xiu also said.

"Tell me first, what do you think?"

Ye Xiu asked first.

After all, Xiao Shiqin also excluded himself.

"Master of tactics, aren't three enough? Moreover, your team already has Luo Yang as the support player. You don't need me."

Xiao Shiqin seemed to be speaking very seriously.

"But the captain?"

Dai Yanqi looked at Xiao Shiqin with some concern.

In her opinion, being able to participate in the world competition is a very important thing.

Dai Yanqi was really confused as to why her captain suddenly gave up such a good opportunity.

"It doesn't matter."

Xiao Shiqin waved his hand.

Xiao Shiqin had already let go of all this long before he decided not to go to Excellent Era.

Now Xiao Shiqin just wants to make the Thunder team better.

"By the way, it's time to talk about you. Why do you think you won't play?"

Xiao Shiqin looked at Ye Xiu and said.

"I?"

Ye Xiu pointed at himself.

"I have to go home after this season, and my family is almost running to H City to kidnap me back."

Ye Xiu said.

"Then you are also in charge of the selection for the World Invitational Tournament?"

Xiao Shiqin was also stunned for a moment after hearing Ye Xiu's answer, so he asked.

"If I can't be a player, I can be a team leader, right?"

Ye Xiu took out a registration form from his pocket.

"Look, there are three positions for the team leader and coach. Anyone on the roster can play in the game."

Ye Xiu said this and pointed to the position of the team coach above.

"I don't know if Lao Han will retire this season. If he does, we can just put him on the coaching side."

Ye Xiu said.

The list of players for each country in the World Invitational Tournament has not yet been decided, but the rules and regulations have already been established.

The reason why even the coach and team leader can play is just for emergencies.

It’s just that the coaches in other countries are all in their thirties or forties.

"I see, but there must be limits, right?"

Xiao Shiqin said.

"That's right. If the coach or team leader goes on the field, he or she will need to replace a player, and that player will not be able to play afterwards."

Luo Yang explained beside him.

"It can be said that if it is not an emergency, this will not be done."

Ye Xiu said.

"So you're still not going to play?"

Xiao Shiqin said.

"Who knows? The World Invitational Tournament is still a long way off. Who knows what changes will happen by then."

Ye Xiu waved his hand and said.

……

After the game with the Thunder, the schedule became busier.

Because there are Christmas events this week, all the major teams will invest manpower here.

The foundation of the Xingxin team is still weak, so even the players of the Xingxin team are involved in the activity schedule.

As for the players of Team Xingxin, the team they carried didn’t know what to say.

They are obviously older than each other, but they are more active in online games than each other...

……

"There are really more and more people in Internet cafes."

Chen Guo also moved out the Christmas tree, but did not put it in the Internet cafe. Instead, she planned to put it in the base of the Xingxin team.

After all, Chen Guo wanted to let her father take a look at her team.

The ones placed in the Internet cafe were bought by Luo Yang and Ye Xiu a few days ago.

This time, Chen Guo placed the Christmas tree in the center of the hall with the help of Luo Ting and Su Muqiu.

“Isn’t it a good thing to have more people?”

Luo Ting said to Chen Guo.

"It's a good thing, but I was thinking of letting the players of Happy spend Christmas in the Internet cafe... now it seems that it won't be possible."

Chen Guo felt helpless, but also happy.

After all, as an Internet cafe owner, he is naturally happy to see many customers in the Internet cafe.

It is only seven o'clock in the morning. Except for some guests who are still dozing off because of their overnight stay, the Internet cafe is already full of guests.

"Okay, that's it for here. Let's go to Happy Base and fix the Christmas tree over there."

Chen Guo said to Luo Ting and Su Muqiu.

"I guess Ye Xiu and the others haven't woken up yet." Chen Guo also said.

"Then I'll buy them breakfast later."

Su Muqiu took the initiative to speak.

……

When Xingxin and the others got up, they saw the Christmas tree in the hall.

“Did you move it here this year?”

Zhang Jiale spoke first.

"Ah."

Chen Guo nodded.

"Yo, Christmas tree!"

Behind Zhang Jiale, Baozi also ran out and came directly to the Christmas tree.

"Yeah, the Christmas tree."

Chen Guo was very satisfied with Baozi's attitude.

"The things hanging on the tree are presents. Everyone can pick one when the time comes."

Chen Guo said to Baozi.

Every year Chen Guo would prepare gifts for the Internet cafe staff. After entering the professional circle, she changed this habit to directly present gifts to professional players.

"Okay, thank you boss."

Baozi moved quickly and took the gift directly from the Christmas tree.

Just when Chen Guo felt something was wrong, Baozi was already being unpacked.

"No, Baozi! Who told you to take it down now?"

Chen Guo said angrily.

How come this bun was opened directly?
"Eh? When should we take it down?"

Baozi was stunned, then turned around and said in confusion.

"Of course we have to wait until Christmas to open it!"

Chen Guo said helplessly.

"Christmas? Isn't it today?"

Baozi said doubtfully.

"Today is the 24th, and tomorrow is Christmas..."

Behind Baozi, Luo Yang said helplessly.

This Baozi is too impatient.

"Then this..."

Baozi looked at the gift in his hand and didn't know what to do.

"You've already opened it, what else can I do? Don't hang it up, open it all together tomorrow."

Luo Yang said this, interrupting Baozi who was about to put the gift on.

Just kidding, the hand that was holding the bun just touched the bun, and there was still oil stains on the hand.

There was an obvious handprint on the wrapping paper. Not to mention that the wrapping had been torn open, just the handprint on it made it difficult to give this gift to others.

"Oh."

Baozi nodded and placed the gift on the table, ready to take it away when he returned later.

"Forget it, you guys should choose your gifts too. It doesn't matter whether you open them earlier or later."

Chen Guo waved her hands. After what Baozi did to her, there was no need to hide anymore.

So the members of the Xingxin team also went to get their gifts.

Chen Guo put some thought into these gifts.

For example, Ye Xiu and Wei Chen got lighters of a certain brand.

The hat Zhang Jiale got must have matched his hair color.

What Sun Zheping got was a pair of massagers that can be recharged for massage and have a wrist guard on the outside.

And Luoyang...

"Boss, what do you mean by preparing this for me..."

Luo Yang looked at the cat ear headband in his hand, feeling a little confused.

Putting aside the suspicious appearance, just talking about the headband, Luo Yang himself doesn’t use it very often.

After all, Luo Yang's hair hasn't grown long enough to require this.

"Um... this is for Xiaoting. Why did you choose it?"

Chen Guo was stunned for a moment.

“Oh, this is a watch.”

Luo Ting has also chosen a gift.

"That one is yours."

Chen Guo pointed at Luo Ting.

"Then what..."

Luoyang said to Luo Ting.

"Don't change!"

Luo Ting simply turned her head and put the watch on her hand.

"Forehead……"

Luo Yang was stunned.

There is indeed a trend now that girls wear watches that were originally designed for boys.

Especially since Chen Guo prepared a sports watch for Luo Yang, it didn’t have any particular requirements on gender.

After everyone distributed the gifts, Chen Guo was stunned.

Because there are two more gifts on the Christmas tree.

One was prepared by Chen Guo for herself, and the other...

"Open it."

Ye Xiu said to Chen Guo.

"Yes, boss, open it."

Luo Ting also said this from the side.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Guo complained, but the expression on her face betrayed her.

Chen Guo was quite happy about this little surprise.

The package was opened, and what appeared in Chen Guo's eyes was a packaging box.

Open the box and there is another box inside.

"I'm telling you guys...you're not here to make fun of me, are you?"

Chen Guo glanced at the people from Happy.

"No, no, this is just to create some atmosphere."

Su Mucheng said beside him.

After opening three boxes in succession, Chen Guo finally saw the real gift.

It's a box of cards.

"Is this the only one?"

Chen Guo felt inexplicably disappointed. She originally thought it was something else.

But Chen Guo still turned over the first card on top.

It's obviously Ye Xiu's handwriting.

"What you've always wanted, as you wish."

The two cards below are two signatures.

Leaves fall.

Su Mucheng.

Chen Guo was stunned for a moment.

Once upon a time, Chen Guo dreamed of getting autographs from professional players, especially Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng.

But after getting to know Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, Chen Guo forgot about this matter.

And today, after seeing this card, Chen Guo felt a lump in his throat for no reason.

"Boss, don't just stand there. There's more to come."

Su Mucheng said to Chen Guo.

"besides?"

Chen Guo was stunned for a moment, then flipped through the pages.

Han Wenqing.

Zhou Zekai.

Yu Wenzhou.

……

It is the signature of all professional players in the league.

“This…this.”

At this time, Chen Guo remembered that Luo Ting had gone to "collect stamps" when she went to various teams.

"I was originally planning to give it to you after the regular season, but I asked my brothers to help me make some contacts, so I collected them in advance. Merry Christmas, boss!"

Luo Ting, who was beside Luo Yang, said. (End of this chapter)
