You Use a Gun, I Use a Bow (BL)

51 - I like him.

After Wen Xi took a bath, he listened to what Mo Chen had said and blow dried his hair. After that, he went back to his room and lay down on the bed instead of going downstairs. At this time, it was past 10 o’clock in the evening, and Ai Zhe, Ruby, and Blue Wolf were still livestreaming as a team of three. They had combined their names together to make “Wolf Pig Deer.” After watching their livestream for a while, Wen Xi casually smashed some gifts and messaged them to prove that he still existed. He then resolutely withdrew from the livestream app, covered himself with his quilt, and turned off the light. He was really tired today. It had been his first time playing against a strong team, and his nerves had been in a tense state for a long time, resulting in him seriously overtaxing his mental resources. He felt that he could sleep for a whole day and night.

On the other side, Mo Chen was still replaying the footage with Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei. He spoke very fast at first, but after Wen Xi left he acted as if he was no longer worried, and spoke increasingly slowly and in more detail. On the other hand, Ling Shuyi and Chen Wei became more and more desperate as they continued to listen. However, they knew that Mo Chen was also very tired and was resolutely holding on to try and help them go over the replay. Therefore, in order to live up to the expectations of their team captain, they listened very carefully even though they were tired and sleepy. They didn’t raise any objections or make any further interruptions.

(In fact, it was mainly out of fear.)

Finally, when it was past 11 pm, Mo Chen finished everything he could say. Everyone that should take a bath took a bath, and everyone who should sleep, slept. After Mo Chen emerged after taking a bath, he remembered that he had left his cellphone in the meeting room, so he went downstairs to get it. As a result, he found that Coach Chen Xiao was sitting alone in the lobby and smoking.

“Not sleeping?” Mo Chen casually asked and walked into the meeting room.

He didn’t turn to look when he grabbed his cellphone, but he heard Chen Xiao say, “It’s always easy to think too much at night…. Wen Xi is here, so we can win the championship next year ba?”

Mo Chen let out an “en”, and his tone didn’t have the slightest hesitation.

Chen Xiao continued, “So I’m just filled with regrets… We used to be so close to the championship that it was pretty much at hand.”

Mo Chen froze, and immediately guessed what he was melancholy about.

Sure enough, Chen Xiao’s next sentence was, “Sometimes I feel bad for you. If I were stronger back then…”

“Stop talking about meaningless stuff,” Mo Chen blurted out, “It’s the same to win the championship next year.”

Then, without waiting for Chen Xiao to respond, Mo Chen continued to say, “The past is already in the past. No matter how you look at it, or how I think about it, it is meaningless to discuss what has become a foregone conclusion. It is better to think about how to win the championship next year.”

Chen Xiao had no choice but to chuckle and agree, “That’s true…”

“And,” Mo Chen paused before continuing, “If I won the championship last year, I would not have met Wen Xi.”
