She is always sultry

Chapter 31 New Year’s Eve
Month after month, the Winter Championship schedule was officially confirmed.

The selection competition officially started from January 1th to January 7th. The participating teams include eight teams from KPL, three teams from KPL, two teams from cooperative wild cards, and two teams from the national competition.

Although the status of the Winter Championship is not as good as that of the Spring and Autumn Splits, it is still highly competitive. It is a single round-robin points competition system with 10 games per day, and the top four points advance.

1月13日至1月14日是四分之一决赛，1月16日至1月17日是半决赛，最后1月23日是总决赛。

Qi You could feel that as time went by, the frequency of chats between her and Zhu Xing suddenly decreased.

Especially in late December, Zhu Xing took longer and longer to reply to her.

Qi You didn't know what happened, but she could clearly feel that there was something wrong inside OUR, and the problem appeared on Zhu Xing.

Because OUR's attitude towards this winter crown is too serious.

For most teams in the KPL, the Winter Championship is more focused on large-scale training matches between teams. Many teams will choose to let substitutes play in the Winter Championship to hone their newcomers.

The training frequency of OUR clearly seems to be preparing for the mid-season competition.

Combined with the emotions hidden in Zhu Xing's recent words, Qiyou could vaguely feel the anxiety in his emotions.

So, what is the current situation of OUR?
Qiyou took a deep breath and controlled herself not to think too much. She told herself over and over again that she was the game commentator and she couldn't ask too much about the club.

Speaking of which, the two have only met once in three months since they officially started dating.

Although they obviously live in the same city, they seem to be in a long-distance relationship. They can only chat online and cannot get along face to face.

[Yuzu] New Year’s Eve is the weekend, can you guys have a day off?
Qi You specially picked a meal and sent a message to Zhu Xing, but as expected, it took a long time for Zhu Xing to reply to her.

[Prayer] Sorry, Yuzu, we can't take a holiday.

【Prayer】Kitten crying jpg.
[Yuzi] Then I can bring Xiao Ling to my place to celebrate the New Year with us, right? It would be nice for her and Xiao Bai to have company.

When she told Zhizhi that the two children were in the same class, Zhizhi was also surprised. Thinking that the two children had similar experiences, I thought about celebrating the New Year together.

【Prayer】Okay, if she doesn't want to trouble you, forget it.

Zhu Xing is really full of guilt for his sister Zhu Ling. He always feels that he owes his sister too much and does not give her enough companionship, so he always indulges Zhu Ling in other things.

[Yuzu] Yeah.

[Prayer] Then I will continue training.

Qiyou sighed and silently exited the dialog box.

Well, the conversations between the two always end like this. If it were anyone else, Qi You would really have random thoughts!
【Youzi】Xiao Xu, which flight did you book? I'll go with you.

[Xiao Xu] At 1 noon on January 4th, JZxxxx, let me book the tickets for you. I will pick up the tickets and arrange seats for you two. You can just transfer the money to me later.

[Yuzu] Thank you for your hard work!
Qi You's eyes lit up, there was such a good thing!

Fortunately, the two of them were not secretly in love. Under Zhu Xing's intentional guidance, OUR was very happy with them.

Zhizhi was still writing the shopping list at this moment. She picked up the note, dried the wet ink on the paper, and handed it to Qiyou: "Youzi, do you want to see what else you want to buy?"

Qi You browse quickly, hot pot bases, drinks, fruits, snacks.
"I'll order another small cake." Qi You suddenly thought, "I think we should celebrate."

"Okay, then let's buy some ribbons and decorate them simply?" Zhizhi rarely has a sense of ritual about these things. "It's been so many years. This is the first time that Xiaobai and I spend New Year's Eve together."

Qi You agreed with both hands. One of them is a fire element and the other is an air element. They are a typical combination to stir up trouble. Whatever strange ideas they come up with, as long as they support each other, they will do it.

So when Qi You entered the campus with her former student ID card and picked Zhu Ling and Wen Bai into the Zhizhi car at the classroom door, both of them were still confused. "Your brother doesn't have the weekend off. Does Xiaoling want to celebrate the New Year with us?" Qiyou and Zhu Ling sat in the back seat and asked gently, "It doesn't matter if you don't come. We will take you home."

Although this was Zhu Ling's second meeting with Qi You, she had an inexplicable affection for this sister-in-law, and she could feel Qi You's kindness towards her.

Coupled with the information she got from Wen Bai on weekdays, she knew the past between Qiyou and Zhizhi, and now she was in awe of her.

"Will I disturb you?" Zhu Ling tightened his clothes, looking forward to it.

Qi You knew something was going on by looking at Zhu Ling's expression. She touched the girl's head: "No trouble, sleep with us tonight!"

Things were settled quickly. Zhizhi snapped his fingers, closed the car window, stepped on the accelerator, and headed home with the car full of joy.

Qiyou's home is not as big as Zhu Xing's home, but it is much warmer than that cold shell. Cute decorations can be seen everywhere in the living room. "Happy new year" balloons are hung on the wall, and even the flowers and plants are hung with small pendants.

Zhizhi took out slippers for the two children and gently pushed them into the living room: "You guys have a rest first. We are having hot pot today. We will be fine soon. Xiaobai takes good care of them."

Hot pot is really a must-have for lazy people. Just tidy up the table a little, put the base ingredients in the induction cooker and start cooking.

As the mist of the hot pot rose, everyone felt warm in their hearts, and the bowls of the two children were filled to the brim.

It's just that both of them were a little silent, perhaps feeling like they were in a trance after all the hardships, or maybe it was the satisfaction of being wrapped in warmth.

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Zhizhi raised the apple juice in his hand: "Come on, come on, cheers!"

"I wish the two children good progress in their studies in the new year!"

"cheers!"

The four glasses collided gently, making a crisp sound, like running water, flowing into everyone's heart.

After the meal, the two children consciously took charge of the aftermath and kept the dining table and kitchen spotless.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were still a few hours before 12 o'clock and the four of them had nothing special to do, Zhu Ling and Wen Bai took out their homework, and Zhizhi also started the live broadcast.

Qiyou has black hair all over her head, so she is the only idler in this family?
No one paid attention to her. Qiyou was speechless and choked. She shrank into the sofa and turned on the TV silently.

The hands on the wall were still turning. When the hour hand and the minute hand were about to overlap at "12", Qi You's cell phone vibrated.

[Qi You invites you to a video call. 】

Qiyou's hand shook and she quickly called Zhu Ling: "Xiao Ling, come on, your brother will make a video call with us!"

"Coming."

Qiyou connected to the video and saw a man with a haggard face.

Zhu Xing is no longer as calm as before, his eyes are full of exhaustion, and there is stubble on his cheeks.

Qi You's thumb holding the phone unconsciously rubbed the screen, as if stroking his cheek from afar.

She wanted to hug him.

Zhu Xing understood the distress in Qi You's eyes, pretended to smile relaxedly, and said comfortingly: "Why are you looking so sad? Just smile, Happy New Year."

　If you like it, I hope to collect it more, recommend it more, and comment more. Everyone is also welcome to catch insects!
