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

65 - Do you like me?

At lunch, no one brought up anything about the competition, so Jiang Xinyi also wasn’t in a hurry to mention it.

When he returned to the hotel, he was finally unable to resist the urge, and used a light tone to ask, “I will direct the squad match in the afternoon?”

“You can.” The one who answered him was Mo Chen, but the words that came out of his mouth were beyond everyone’s expectations.

Jiang Xinyi looked at him in disbelief, but before he could react, he heard Mo Chen add a light sentence, “However, this is a formal competition. If you commanding doesn’t let us win the championship, and instead leads to the destruction of the team, are you psychologically prepared to bear the consequences?” 

With these words, Jiang Xinyi was struck speechless. To be honest, he wasn’t psychologically prepared, and he truly couldn’t guarantee that he could command better than Mo Chen. The coach had taught him the playing styles and habits of everyone in the CLM team, and he knew where the strengths and weaknesses of each player lay. But at the same time, he knew that these people were his teammates, not cards in his hands.

The numbers on cards were certain, but the performances of actual teammates were volatile. He couldn’t guarantee that his teammates would definitely fulfill his orders, and he couldn’t guarantee that his command would definitely help the team to win the championship. In the end, it was because he had joined the team in a hurry and hadn’t teamed up with everyone, so he was unsure. It was the same feeling as not studying before an exam.

Mo Chen obviously knew this, which was the main reason why he said something like that to him. Seeing him shrink back, Mo Chen directly announced his decision, “For the spring competition, I will still be the commander. The only thing you have to do while playing is to obey my orders. When the spring competition is finished, and training starts, I can give you the command position. If you command well, I won’t mind giving you command for the summer competition.”

Everything must have a gradual process. Of course, Jiang Xinyi understood this truth, so he let out an “en” and didn’t say anything more. But he was still a little upset.

——He really wanted to take over the command position as soon as possible, in order to experience the audience’s applause and cheers as soon as possible.

Seeing that Jiang Xinyi didn’t make a fuss, everyone there was secretly relieved. 

Only God knew that when Chen Xiao heard Mo Chen say, “You can,” his heart had dangled from a precipice—Letting a newcomer who has only played SGH for half a month take command?! Was he crazy?

Fortunately, Mo Chen immediately “dissuaded” the newbie. Jiang Xinyi had a single room that was separate from the others, so after he failed to claim the command post, he quickly left the lobby and went back to his room. 

As soon as he left, Chen Xiao couldn’t help saying, “You scared me. I thought you were serious.”

He said this to Mo Chen, but he never thought Mo Chen would reply, “I was serious.”
