“Really?” Xiao Yin pinched his chin, kissed his cheek, and spoke gently, “What’s making you so greedy? Show me.”

Rong Yi suddenly reacted.

It had been a long time since he last saw Xiao Yin, yet he casually uttered such provocative words without changing his expression.

But, since he said it, Rong Yi acknowledged it.

He wrapped his arms around Xiao Yin’s neck, sat on his thigh, and gently rubbed against him.

He leaned close to Xiao Yin’s ear and blushed as he said, “Take a look.”

The zipper was opened, and the sound was clear, echoing in the smoky atmosphere.

Xiao Yin’s voice lowered, “What should we do?”

“It’s only been three days.”

“What about during the Lunar New Year?” Xiao Yin ran his fingers through Rong Yi’s hair, the touch heavy and slow, filled with intense emotions and desire. Just being touched like that by him, Rong Yi felt like he was melting, completely soft in his embrace, unable to even lift his waist.

“More than ten days.”

Rong Yi still wanted to save face for himself. “More than ten days, I can actually endure it.”

Then he saw Xiao Yin smile.

Phoenix eyes, cold yet gentle, with a faint smile, like a sea breeze.

Rong Yi’s heart was about to burst.

He heard Xiao Yin say, “I can’t hold back.”

Xiao Yin pressed him down onto the bed, covering both of them with the blanket.

It was tight, heavy, with no barriers between them. They both wanted to stay forever within each other’s bodies.

In this unfamiliar little hotel room, Rong Yi and Xiao Yin completed some necessary activities after being apart for a while.

It was relatively restrained this time, only twice. Mainly because the Mid-Autumn Festival break was almost over, and they had to return to VIT early the next morning.

Rong Yi wrapped himself in the blanket and sat up, leaning against the headboard. Xiao Yin also got up and held him in his arms.

Today’s activities were not intense, not exhausting. They were gentle and warm.

Kisses and hugs were more frequent than anything else.

Rong Yi had a feeling that he was falling.

He was falling so much that he couldn’t get up anymore.

He leaned in Xiao Yin’s arms and looked down at his well-defined, fair, and slender fingers. In his heart, he vaguely thought that maybe spending a lifetime like this wouldn’t be bad.

After cuddling on the bed for a while, Rong Yi pulled Xiao Yin out of the room. He fulfilled his promise and treated him to a stir-fry meal, then took him to his elementary school for a visit.

In the dim evening, the two of them stood on the playground of the elementary school.

Rong Yi felt a bit nostalgic. “The time in elementary school was the most carefree.”

Xiao Yin, as if no one else was around, held his hand and said softly, “If I had met you during your elementary school days, it would have been great.”

“The time we met is also perfect.”

Rong Yi knew what he was thinking and pinched his fingertips. “I had a dark period in the first and second year of junior high, but I’ve been happy since then.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Yin looked at him, a faint smile on his lips. “You can be free and happy anywhere.”

After visiting the elementary school, they didn’t stay for long and flew back to VIT the next day.

For both of them, the affairs of the team were always the top priority.

The playoff standings were almost settled, and if there were no surprises, they would compete for the championship against the

RS and CH teams.

One thing worth noting was that after VIT joined this year, the overall point rankings in the domestic league had increased by 30% compared to last year. This meant that this year, there might be more than one team with comprehensive data to enter the World Championships, and there would be many more domestic spots available.

After six months of hard work, it was finally coming to a brief conclusion.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the entire VIT team no longer had long holidays or short breaks. The National Day period was the time for the matches, and everyone stayed at the club.

Everyone, including Shu Pian, was undergoing more intense and meticulous training. The training of Ci She and Hui Mao was also advancing towards higher difficulty.

Ci She had previously lamented about real-time calculations on the in-game panel, and now it was included in his training schedule.

Ci She was a typical instinct-based talented player. His judgment of danger on the battlefield mostly relied on his perception, but his perception was different from Rong Yi’s.

Rong Yi’s intuition was devoid of any subjective or objective factors, a kind of instinctive response close to wildness, while Ci She’s perception was more based on the changes in the situation on the field, relying on perceptive inertia to make inferences.

Neither side was superior to the other. Rong Yi was able to turn this characteristic into an advantage because he found a way to control this intuition: by calculating the in-game panel, collecting as much visual information as possible, and using it to assist his intuitive judgment. This was also the core of his high predictive ability on the battlefield.

As for Ci She, his keen perception could maximize his advantage in the ever-changing game situation and deal with dangerous situations.Best video game consoles

But this was also his weakness, as he couldn’t balance the current situation and overall strategy and was easily distracted. Additionally, his performance heavily depended on his condition on the day of the match.

Entering this training schedule was, in fact, the opposite of Ci She’s personal style.

Among the entire team, only Ci She needed to undergo this training. Hui Mao was a calm player, bold yet meticulous. Although he was inexperienced, he never lost control and served as an opposite type of support player compared to Rong Yi.

One was the initiator who seized the advantage in team fights, setting the rhythm, while the other infinitely increased the team’s margin of error.

Wu Dao Gu followed Xiao Yin for the longest time and didn’t have this kind of problem. He could adapt to various team styles.

On the forums, there were countless analyses about VIT.

Apart from the mid-lane, people gradually started paying attention to the temporarily inexperienced bot-lane duo.

Being inexperienced meant having vulnerabilities.

Currently, VIT’s bot lane gives a sense of instability, but their performance is indeed very stable. Thornsnake occasionally goes 0-8 or 8-0, and it is related to VIT’s decision-making.

It seems that the bot lane can also be a breakthrough point, but despite thorough analysis, no specific and clear conclusions have been reached.

At this moment, the training groups of the other two teams, CH and RS, are also having late-night meetings.

RS’s training group has more people than ever before. Besides the main team members Lang Bai, Neng Li, Yao Cao, Xiao Yun, and Qing Yan, there is also an entire substitute team, each member having a substitute, and they all have different styles.

“VIT is strong and hard to defeat. Our usual strategies won’t work. Easy is very experienced, and Yin won’t give us a chance to collapse them.”

“Yin is not a pushover. He is a three-time world champion and the world’s best jungler.”

“Our usual strategies won’t work. The top lane’s strategic position is not important this season. We can only focus on the bot lane.”

“How do we play then? It’s impossible to defeat them.”

After the coach finished speaking, Long Bai’s voice turned cold, and he tapped the table.

“They lack experience, so let’s substitute players in.”

“Easy knows us too well, but their rookies don’t know us. Even if Easy knows our rookies, it will still take time.”

“We’ll play rotations, combinations, and disrupt their coordination between mid and bot.”

“They might give up on the bot lane, but it doesn’t matter. We’ll keep pushing.”

“As long as we can catch Thornsnake making obvious mistakes, victory will be ours, and it’s the only opportunity we have.”

On the other side, CH’s training group was also having a busy meeting.

CH had been quietly accumulating wealth this season. They adjusted the team composition, seeking steady progress. They maintained fourth place in the regular season and suddenly performed well in the playoffs, securing third place, just one win away from second-place RS.

“Targeting VIT’s mid lane is no longer feasible.”

Lu Feng turned on the display screen and spoke in a steady voice, “Just like me, all of us have been closely following VIT’s performance throughout this season and know how formidable they are.”

“VIT is not far behind the world champion teams. Targeting the mid lane won’t work, so let’s change our mindset.”

“Our top, mid, and jungle are all world-class, so we can only find a breakthrough from the bot lane.”

“Yin Yi, Qi Qi, do you have any ideas?”

Lu Feng looked at his support and bot lane.

Yin Yi became a regular support player this season and was very stable, while Qi Qi was a reliable bot laner.

CH and VIT had a very good relationship, and it was precisely because of this that the two sides always had fair and intense competition.

From the first training match of the season, the players from both sides constantly challenged each other, constantly seeking understanding and learning from each other.

VIT was formidable with two world champions and one intercontinental champion, as well as two rookie prodigies.

They might not have prodigies, but they had their own pride.

“I think the captain’s mindset is the same as ours,” Qi Qi spoke. “They lack experience, but our club doesn’t have the time or ability to train a second team capable of rotating in a short period. We can only rely on tactics.”

“Easy can see through all our tactics, but Ci She is still a bit lacking.”

“We can make feints and delay his rhythm. He’s very accurate at judging fake vision, so we should try to avoid using fake vision, but we can confuse his judgment with purposeless harassment.”

“Easy and Yin can help, but they can’t help all the time. Based on our previous matches, if we attack the bot lane, VIT is likely to give up on it.”

“You’re right,” Yin Yi nodded. “Their team can only focus on the bot lane now, so we’ll keep attacking until Thornsnake makes a mistake.”

Meanwhile, within VIT, Ci She was struggling to adapt to the recent training regimen.

Everyone could see that the training regimen contradicted his personal style.
