Chapter Ten, The Blossoms of Seventeen

When "Yes or No" first achieved the number one spot on the popular song charts, the members were in tears, holding Miya. That moment, captured like a savior, was filmed during a small roadside performance with only a few dozen audience members. The host curiously asked Miya how she could maintain such an engaging and brilliant performance.

Ji Xiangkong seemed to hear her inner voice: "Aren't you curious? Why am I so calm?"

Qiu Ying nervously retracted her neck and tentatively said, "How about we talk about your romantic history..."

Ji Xiangkong was taken aback. After a while, he finally spoke: "Which part would you like to hear?"

When Firework first debuted, their performance was mediocre due to a lack of highlights. The members underwent several changes and adjustments, with only the Chinese member Miya Fu Miya choosing to stay. The group frequently released songs, yet they remained unnoticed, with their songs ranking outside the top 50. After the initial glow of being newcomers faded, their dismal performance led them to be gradually sidelined. There were no new albums released, no commercial advertisements or endorsements, and not a single cent of income. During their most difficult times, they could only stay in their dormitory, surviving on instant noodles.

They found the corner where they had previously had a heart-to-heart. Ji Xiangkong sat down on the steps, his legs spread apart, leaning forward with his upper body. His elbows casually rested on his knees. Seeing Qiu Ying standing in front of him like a wooden post, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you find the ground dirty? What, do you want to sit on my lap?"

The speech concluded. She amused herself, holding her belly and laughing incessantly.

In the evening, they strolled through the night market for a while. Qiu Ying felt full and satisfied, with a continuous surge of courage coursing through her body. Perhaps it was a good opportunity to dispel her doubts. Ever since she caught a glimpse of the clues regarding Miya's single, she had been overthinking every night. Her hair was falling out in clumps. If she didn't figure it out soon, she might end up bald.

The female protagonist, a pastry chef, has designed a new cake. Inside the cake is a whole raspberry. The theme is: Unspoken Intentions

His attitude was neither servile nor arrogant. Qi Yue's inner fire had no outlet for release. He could only give up.

In his eyes danced a faint light, filled with her shadow. Qiu Ying shook her head, surrendering in the face of such tenderness

But you once loved me so much. Why put on a show? The appearance of indifference is my final performance

Qi Yue bit down hard on the knuckle of his bent index finger, pacing back and forth in Qiao Xin's home

During their farewell in the evening, Ji mentioned to Qiu Ying that in recent days, apart from playing basketball and going to the gym, he mostly spends his afternoons at Sun Zeyi's internet café

You can find an agent. Many well-known streamers do this. From customer service to shipping, it is a comprehensive service

People tend to desire what they cannot obtain. I frequently visited her home, as if this could fill the void in my heart. Ji Xiangkong paused for a moment, his gaze incredibly soft. "She was like a goddess during my student days."

In retrospect, no matter how harshly Qi Yue spoke, Ji Xiangkong never got angry. He always spoke with a smile, as if his fists were hitting a sandbag, making the other party seem at fault. The more Qi Yue thought about it, the angrier he became, his brows tightly furrowed: "What is that hand injury always going on about? You all need to have the ability to learn. Think during the competition. Don't play based on inertia. Who does he think he is, parachuting in? We are people who have won world championships. In the finals, we won't engage in all sorts of nonsense. We can still win!"

On the other end of the phone, Lu Yiyi shouted loudly: "Quickly raise your own market value. The competition among live streaming platforms is fierce. Everyone is desperately investing money into it. Do you know how much the signing fee is for the game streamer 'Miss' that 'Hupu' just signed? One hundred million! One hundred million!"

Perhaps in their eyes, her image has never changed

Lin Yixuan cast a glance at Qiu Ying. His whole body felt as if struck by lightning. With trembling fingers, he pointed directly at Ji Xiangkong's nose: "Well! You are driving me away! You heartless one! I have followed you for so many years for nothing!"

During the intermission, Qiu Ying was engrossed in watching the highlights of "Battlefield Deceiver Void's Performance Compilation." In the video, he either threw down a pair of shoes on the ground, waiting for the invisible enemy to reveal themselves to pick them up, or hid a jar of ointment in the woods, pretending to be low on health while fleeing into the trees, only to drink the potion and counterattack. Alternatively, he would suddenly cancel the action of casting a skill at the moment the hero raised their hand, misleading the opponent's judgment with a feint. What impressed her the most was his classic tactic of "hit and run," which left the opponent so frustrated they wanted to report him, fearing an ambush and not daring to pursue. Yet, if they did not chase, they would be hit again.

Indeed. I remember that someone asked Ji Shen whether he thought Qiu Ying danced better than the original version by Miya while watching a compilation of her dance. Ji Shen was quite upset at that time

Qiu Ying could hardly imagine what kind of feelings Ji Xiangkong must have. Listening to Fu Miya declare in front of the entire world, "I have never had a first love" and "I have never liked anyone," she wiped their past clean.

Qiu Ying smiled and nodded. Then she shook her head. Their words were like sharp needles, piercing her spine repeatedly. No matter how much she tried to turn over a new leaf, videos of her singing and dancing during her early live streams could be found online at any time. She spoke softly and sweetly, wagging her tail in a plea, hoping that the audience in front of the screen would follow her. ... They could give her gifts ... . ... Those were, after all, historical moments that truly existed. She hoped that the audience in front of the screen would follow her. ... They could give her gifts ... . ... Those were, after all, historical moments that truly existed.

Qiu Ying pretended to be lively and winked: "Isn't it too long? Do you want to talk for three days and three nights? It's fine. You can just say a segment today. I love following serialized stories the most."

The traces of the past can never be erased

It does not matter that it has never been revealed. It does not matter to remain silent. Under the setting sun, you hold my hand. The sweat seeping from my palm due to nervousness. The eyes that curve into a smile. The blush that spreads all the way to my ears. Even the dust floating in the air. The salty sea breeze. All of these are telling a story with remarkable clarity

He let out a bitter laugh, his shoulders trembling slightly. Qiu Ying noticed the light in his eyes dimming little by little. His head hung very low: "After parting with her, it was as if a sunflower had lost the sun... I once thought I would never fall in love with anyone again"

Monsoon towards the ocean. Beyond the sky

More than half a year ago. It was in this very place. He helped her shake off a group of pursuers. At her lowest point, he asked: "Since you are making money through Conquer, don't you want to earn a living as a legitimate commentator based on your own abilities?"

The entire world suddenly fell silent. In that moment, Qiu Ying longed to throw herself into his embrace, holding him tightly.

Later, journalists often asked Miya about her views on this past event during interviews. She simply smiled faintly and said, "The experiences on the road to pursuing dreams are invaluable treasures. Only those who have desperately climbed up from the depths truly understand the importance of cherishing them"

Qiu Ying blushed and said: "Have you ever seen a professional player use a disadvantageous build? They would equip a healing aura. Are they stupid?"

Even if it cannot be seen from the outside, it is carefully cherished in the depths of the heart

Lin Yixuan once said that Ji Xiangkong is someone whom most people consider to be lacking in skill and not suited for a professional career. Therefore, he needs to exert several times more effort than others. She does not want to distract him. Previously, she had recklessly spoken out, almost jeopardizing their friendship. Being able to stay by his side now, to share laughter with him, and to cheer him on, she feels very content.

Qiu Ying slowly began to speak in a broadcasting tone: "The great Chinese Conquer legendary captain Cris once said, 'No matter what hero Void Season operates in the air, there are always four fixed skills: pretend not to see, pretend not to hit, pretend not to escape, pretend there is someone behind.' In summary, it is a textbook level of shamelessness"

In Qi Yue's traditionally defiant demeanor, a hint of tenderness emerged.

Do you like me

It has ended

Ji calmly said to the air: "As for me."

You heard correctly! I am with Ji Xiangkong. Our signing fee is the same!

It is snowing in winter, how cold it is. She is dancing in thin clothing. The ground is very slippery. If she falls, she gets back up and continues to dance. Her face is filled with a hopeful smile

The new song still goes unnoticed. On the night when the company issued the final ultimatum, she cried bitterly in his arms. Her tears soaked his clothes, and she could not stop. At that time, he had nothing. He was struggling in the harsh arena, with no certainty even for the next meal. He could only comfort the girl he admired with words, feeling despair due to his helplessness.

I don't want to go home yet. Let's stroll around here a bit longer. Qiu Ying bit her lip and said softly, I want to stay with you a little longer

She said: "The red of raspberries symbolizes the most intense emotions of humanity. For instance, the dreams one wishes to achieve, the cherished possessions one wishes to protect, and the feelings of affection for someone. These emotions may not be openly expressed by everyone. However, they truly and genuinely exist."

As soon as she said this, the comments section erupted. Phrases like "If you don't send, it means you look down on me. Hundreds of thousands of people are watching" filled the screen. This gentleman had no choice but to continue sending gifts. Who knows if there are elementary school students behind this with a monthly allowance of 100,000? This person is truly... " Lu Yiyi paused for a moment, gritting her teeth and said, "So full of attitude!"

Just add a healing aura from the inferior single after taking a sip of milk

As Qiu Ying stepped out, she happened to run into Ji Xiangkong. He opened his shopping bag to show her the various colored bottles of naked juice inside. With her peach blossom eyes curving into crescent moons, she said, "I didn't know what flavor you liked, so I bought them all."

As the car passed by the central park near their home, Qiu Ying suddenly signaled to Ji to stop the car.

This is his past. Everyone has untold stories.

He stretched lazily and casually patted Qiu Ying's head, saying, "Let's go back."

Qiu Ying moved her lips slightly. Her throat was dry. The answer she wanted to know was clear as day. Yet, she could not utter a single word.

When arriving at the internet café, Ji Xiangkong and Sun Zeyi were both absent. Qiu Ying had just approached the inner hall when she heard voices coming from inside.

In Sun Zeyi's internet café, there is an inner hall specifically prepared for acquaintances. A large round table is surrounded by a circle of computers. Next to it is an open kitchen equipped with a refrigerator and a sink. New and old friends gather together during their leisure time to play games. The sound of keyboards clattering echoes throughout the room, accompanied by a continuous stream of shouts. There are no constraints of club rules here. This is a paradise.

"Alright." Ji Xiangkong stopped the car by the roadside. He turned his head to look at her, his voice low and gentle. "Where do you want to go? I will accompany you wherever you wish."

It was raining when she held her first meeting. Including him, there were only seven audience members.

I said you are too honest. Nowadays, everyone is forming groups. Without a team, it's hard to gain popularity. Lu Yiyi paused for a moment. Didn't the male commentator Luo Tian invite you to play together? His popularity is top-notch.

"Clinging to someone for support, or just for companionship. She has many tricks up her sleeve. That Ji Xiangkong is completely under her control. He has been serving her diligently. Qiu Ying's current status is largely thanks to him." A hint of displeasure flickered in Qiao Xin's eyes, but it was fleeting. "During the autumn competition, I personally witnessed him coming out of Qiu Ying's room at night."

Famous streamers have a net worth comparable to that of top-tier celebrities This is not surprising at all

Qiu Ying looked around. The round table was mostly filled. Several other boys were gossiping and looking at her. She was still hesitating. Ji Xiangkong suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a seat, casually saying: "The training lasts for two hours. Don't just stand there. I'm quite valuable."

I do my best to perform the role that you have assigned to me, like a guest in an emotional program, subject to selection. If it is still possible to discern my love for you, please cut out those scenes that make me appear undignified

He lowered his gaze and looked at her for a moment. He said softly: "If you want to see me, you can come find me"

Ji Xiangkong smiled as he opened his hand: "Hurry up and get lost"

At the age of seventeen, she wrote a song for him. The monsoon flows towards the ocean. Beyond the sky. Carrying all her youthful love.

Ji Xiangkong initially disliked her. She was aware of that; he was not someone who toyed with emotions. She knew this. Yet, her heart was filled with mixed feelings. She did not know how to continue sitting with this group of people.

Ji Xiang Kong smiled and glanced at her sideways: "How greedy you are."

Qiu Ying's lips tightened. Her palm slowly formed into a fist

"Wait a moment. I will go get the car keys." As they brushed past each other, he raised his hand and placed it on Qiu Ying's head. "Don't move. I will take you."

Qiu Ying then remembered the agreement she had made with him earlier

Ji Xiangkong imitated her tone. She said in a soft voice: "I tell you, it really can't be done"

The condition is that Ji Xiang is her coach, guiding her in solo queue ranking.

The third round of the exclusion tournament has concluded. The two individuals watched the North American match footage side by side

His terrifying singing echoed in her ears. Qiu Ying almost broke into laughter. She shook her head and murmured, "I have things to attend to at school. I will take my leave now"

Qiu Ying often covered Miya's songs and danced to Miya's choreography. It was not solely because of the popularity of "Firework." More importantly, she truly admired Miya and always aspired to be like her

It is because I love you that I chose to perform. This is a form of fulfillment

What is the person you like like

She does not speak

Do you still like her

He cherishes the gift she gave him. Qiu Ying felt a secret joy in her heart. She turned on the speaker and played the song "Firework".

In a daze, something broke through the dam of her soul. A tremendous pain made Qiu Ying almost unable to breathe

As the season turned, silence enveloped the air. Qiu Ying cautiously asked, "Has the story come to an end?"

The playlist includes Miya's Chinese single "Beyond the Sky" in Firework. It is said that this song was written by Miya at the age of seventeen for a boy she liked. Qiu Ying particularly enjoys it

People have discovered a treasure buried in the soil. Miya's performance has gone viral on the internet, with views surpassing those of Korea's top boy band. This has once again attracted attention from all sectors. Television stations have rushed to feature their new song. "Yes or No" has swept across major charts. Previous singles have consecutively become popular hits, sweeping through streets and alleys. Firework has since risen to become a top-tier girl group. Previous singles have consecutively become popular hits, sweeping through streets and alleys. Firework has since risen to become a top-tier girl group

"Are you trying to tease me?" Ji Xiang raised her eyebrows. She casually picked up a pen and poked it into her waist. She was ticklish. While trying to block it, she moved aside. "Stop... stop. Quickly stop... I was wrong, I was wrong. Oh, please stop!"

Qiu Ying was amused by her "petulance". The imagery in her mind was vivid.

Her heart skipped a beat. She walked over to them holding a cola. Before she could set it down, she saw Ji Xiangkong pat Lin Yixuan on the back: "Ah Xuan, you should sit across from us."

The Titan lineup is not well chosen. Qiu Ying sipped her milk tea and pointed at the screen. I tell you, this guy is very good at playing the Demon Priest

Later, we entered a high school. Because I had a good relationship with her, she often invited me to her home for dinner. My father passed away a long time ago, and my mother treats me very well. Therefore, I did not feel that I was different from others. However, at that moment, looking at the warmth and happiness of their family, I realized what I had truly lost, and that it would never come back in this lifetime.

Well. I have some time to think about it

Ji Xiang raised her eyebrows slightly: "What happened?"

His strength was too great. Lin Yixuan almost rolled off the chair. After stabilizing himself, he playfully bumped his shoulder: "Oh dear. You can't bear to let go."

Really awesome

Qiu Ying could hardly imagine what kind of feelings he had over the years when he casually said, "I am her fan"

On Wednesday afternoon, Qiu Ying had no classes. After sending a WeChat message to Ji Xiangkong saying "I'll be there shortly," she pressed her lips together and added, "I want to drink juice"

Miya choked with emotion and said, "I treat every performance as if it were my last."

You also like me. This matter

After Miya became popular, her past videos frequently surfaced online. She had trained for a year as a trainee at a well-known entertainment company, only to be directly dismissed. Before leaving, she sincerely and humbly said: "I can change anything that is not good about me. Please give me another chance." However, at that time, this South Korean entertainment giant gave her a decisive reply—"You do not have the talent to become an idol. You will not succeed."

Qiu Ying's hand trembled slightly. A bit of the drink spilled onto the floor. She heard Ji Xiangkong leisurely reply, "Yes."

Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that Ji Xiangkong has become her die-hard fan

The freeze period lasted nearly two years. The company finally decided to produce a new single titled "Yes or No". They also issued an ultimatum to Firework: if the new album does not succeed, the group will disband. However, fate did not favor them. The new song remained at the bottom of the charts. Just as Firework was reaching the end of the road and the girls were packing their bags to go home, a miracle occurred that had never happened in K-POP history

A layer of mist suddenly appeared in Qiu Ying's eyes. Her head hung low, resembling a frostbitten eggplant

I heard that you sent five cruise ships to Yan Yan next door yesterday. Why are you being so stingy with me?

She did not dare to ask. Every time she looked into his ink-black eyes, she could never fathom what he was thinking

I am not in a much better position. On the commentary platform, I am being suppressed by Qiu Ying. The male commentator seems entranced by her, not giving me a chance to speak. Previously, You Xing terminated her contract because he found her gaming skills lacking. She has now made a comeback with the help of Li Mao. Her abilities are truly impressive

She watched the music video while gently humming along

She wore an off-shoulder long dress, her curves fully revealed. Qi Yue felt a tightness in his throat, his gaze almost wishing to penetrate the low-cut neckline of her dress

After discovering the secret behind that Chinese single, she delved deeply into Miya's gossip online for a long time. Korean entertainment companies are very strict in managing their artists. There were rumors that she had abandoned her boyfriend from her early days for the sake of her career. After the breakup, she quickly became involved in rumors with the most senior male team leader in the industry. There are various versions of the news, and only the parties involved know the truth.

Previously, Pei Xi was used as a decoy. Qiao Xin's popularity not only did not decline but instead increased. Her secret relationship with Qi Yue had been developing smoothly for some time. Although Qi Yue had a very bad temper, he was simple-minded. The more she played hard to get and acted hot and cold, the more he found it impossible to let go, completely devoted to her. During the holiday, whenever Qi Yue had free time, he would rush to Qiao Xin's house. Just a few minutes ago, they happened to be discussing the situation of the team. A few words from Qiao Xin stirred up Qi Yue's anger.

For some unknown reason, absurd conjectures suddenly emerged in Qiu Ying's mind. A long-neglected detail in her memory became exceptionally clear in an instant

This experience... you might not believe it if I told you. He lowered his eyelids and suppressed a smile. "It was probably around middle school. I started to notice a girl. She wasn't the most beautiful in school, but she had a warm aura. Like the sun. It made one unable to resist wanting to get closer.

A fan of Miya uploaded a video on the platform YouTube featuring a fan recording of Miya's performance. Her outstanding voice, dynamic dance, and heartfelt performance left everyone in awe. Such a group, whose strength is no less than that of other top-tier groups, has surprisingly been overlooked by the world for so long. They are on the brink of disbandment

After the live broadcast ended in the evening, Qiu Ying nestled on the sofa with a pillow, watching a Japanese drama. The title resonated deeply with her state of mind: "Where the Heart Belongs"

Qiu Ying suddenly remembered the Firework limited edition signed album that she had risked her life to win in the water adventure. Ji Xiangkong was very fond of it. He kept it in the backpack he carried with him. Once, he was caught by Lin Yixuan. Lin Yixuan lamented with great sorrow that he was deeply obsessed with it

All

She said: "Even if I might fail, be ridiculed, and feel very distressed. As long as there is just one person supporting me, I feel as if I have the courage to move forward"

Many times, it is not that the wine is not fragrant enough, but rather that the alley is too deep

It was mentioned in the interview that Ji Xiangkong is a child from a single-parent family, raised by his mother and grandmother. Qiu Ying sometimes wonders if Ji Xiangkong's close relationship with Sun Zeyi is due to the paternal qualities that Sun possesses.

Those who give gifts on live streaming platforms do so for various reasons. Some do it to express their affection for the streamer, while others do it to satisfy their own vanity. Once they send out expensive gifts such as sailboats or cruise ships, it becomes a public announcement across the entire platform, making quite a splash.

On the back of that album, there is a line in Chinese

The live streaming platform is like a great wave washing away the sand. In the end, only those with true strength will remain. Good live streaming is well-prepared content. It is a program that can certainly withstand the test of time. " Qiu Ying said with a piercing gaze. "I want to focus on doing it well."

During Ji Xiangkong's vacation, Qiu Ying adjusted her live streaming schedule. She finished work at 9 o'clock and waited for him at her doorstep. Ji Xiangkong kept his promise; whenever he had free time, he would drive her around to enjoy delicious food.

Qiu Ying shook her head with a smile: "Alright. She has offended me. Why does it seem like you are her lifelong enemy?"

Last time, a benefactor gifted Qiao Xin nine luxury yachts. She didn't even say thank you. In front of the camera, she playfully pouted, "You must have recharged to make it an even ten. Why did you only give me nine? Hurry up and hand over the last one."

His eyes were filled with rage. His whole body trembled slightly: "The audience all says that the core of VPG's team-building is the duo of me and Poker! But CEO Shu Wen just can't see it. I've worked tirelessly for her for so many years. She previously brought in Pei Xi to be the core of the team. A tumor that has no synergy with the teammates! In every match, we can only adapt to his rhythm. If we win, it's his victory. If we lose, it's ours." Qi Yue took a deep breath. "Pei Xi is indeed strong. He is also the cousin of former captain Summer. I accept that! But what does Ji Xiang Kong have now?!" In every match, we can only adapt to his rhythm. If we win, it's his victory. If we lose, it's ours." Qi Yue took a deep breath. "Pei Xi is indeed strong. He is also the cousin of former captain Summer. I accept that! But what does Ji Xiang Kong have now?!"

I will not. No matter where she may be in the future, or with whom she is together, as long as it is where her heart desires and her body goes, I will always bless her

I am afraid of being led by the rhythm

Qi Yue's mind was in turmoil as he gently stroked Qiao Xin's back: "How did she obtain the commentary position?"

Lu Yiyi is frustrated with the lack of progress: "This is just like the entertainment industry. Stars have to stir up rumors from time to time."

The relationship between Ji Xiangkong and your CEO. You are not unaware of it. Shu Wen, that old woman who is thirty and still unmarried, is quite desperate. " Qiao Xin sat sideways on Qi Yue's lap, lowering her head and slightly aggrieved as she curled her long hair. "Sigh. People like us, who are honest and hardworking, are not as good as those who rely on connections. Ji Xiangkong is picking on you, clearly intending to humiliate you in public and undermine your position within the team.

The female protagonist in his story is indeed an idol for countless young people today. Firework member of Chinese nationality. Fu Miya

A Xuan. I don't understand. Wasn't Ji Shen very annoyed by that female streamer Qiu Ying before? He was particularly bothered by her always dancing to Firework during her live streams, especially during his goddess Miya's part. Why is their relationship so good now?

On the other end of the phone, Lu Yiyi was vividly imitating the tone of Qiao Xin during her live broadcast. Each section of the live streaming platform had its share of generous patrons. When in the mood, they would shower their favorite streamers with gifts in succession. Most streamers would simply express their gratitude with a word or two. However, someone like Qiao Xin would sweetly make requests.

Ji Xiangkong turned his head to the side and raised his chin at her, saying: "You gave me an album before, and I haven't returned the favor yet. What do you want?"

Such a girl. Radiant like the sun. In times of despair, she provides a shelter for her companions. The figure standing on the stage brings hope to countless people. In countless silent nights, Qiu Ying listens to her warm singing and gazes at her brilliant smile. An endless stream of courage surges within, as if it could heal all wounds

Across a table. The sound and the scene are quite ambiguous. Lin Yixuan was dazzled. Representing the single individuals present, someone spoke up: "Hey! Are you live-streaming a romantic relationship?!"

Lin Yixuan snorted. Reluctantly, he rolled away. Ji Xiangkong faced Qiu Ying and tapped his fingers on the spot beside him: "Sit."

Ji Xiang raised his long leg and kicked his chair: "Do it yourself. Don't send others to do it."

She spoke these words with little confidence. Seeing that he did not respond, she was just about to give up when he slowly began to speak

The four members of VPG had previously been overshadowed by the formidable presence of the Dark Lord Pei Xi. They were holding their breath. Later, Shu Wen spoke again, instructing everyone to follow the command of Ji Xiangkong. They had no choice but to comply. Now, having won the championship, they are faced with the overwhelming adulation of their fans. Naturally, their vanity has rapidly inflated.

Qiu Ying's expression froze. Her lips pressed into a straight line. Her eyes stared at him without blinking.

Qiu Ying said: You don't seem to be sad at all

I am someone who has won a world championship. What is he? A stray dog kicked out by Legend! The spring competition is about to begin. Perhaps Shuwen will make him our new captain

Ji Xiangkong extended his arm to block her. He placed a bag filled with drinks into her hand. The bag was full, heavy.

The two fell into the sofa, locked in a kiss. Qiao Xin suddenly broke free from Qi Yue's embrace. As he eagerly leaned in again, she pressed her finger against his lips and whispered, "Instead of waiting for Ji Xiangkong to climb over you, why not think of a way to find an opportunity to kick him out and become the captain yourself"

Not only that, Ji Xiangkong always loved to make them practice with heroes they were not skilled at during training. One time during practice, Qi Yue lost five consecutive games, so furious that he repeatedly slammed his keyboard: "The strongest systems in this version are the Illusion and Push strategies. Legend and Newland are all practicing hard. Are you asking us to learn these heroes with extremely low win rates and seek our own demise?" The veins on his forehead bulged as he glared fiercely at Ji Xiangkong. "I only play aggressive carries. I won't play these insidious and sneaky ones!"

Qiu Ying smiled wryly: "How could I possibly have the energy for that"

I brought it up because I believe that with your talent, you can definitely achieve it. It's not difficult; it's just a matter of habit. Ji Xiangkong slightly pursed his lips and soon returned to his usual crooked smile. "If I had your speed, I would do it this way."

Qiu Ying watched his departing figure. The suppressed questions in her heart surged forth unexpectedly, clamoring wildly in her empty mind

Qiu Ying forcefully pushed aside the disheveled strands of hair that the wind had blown across her face. She heard the person beside her casually hum along.

"Are you unhappy again?" Ji Xiangkong lowered his head to look at her. His tone was akin to soothing a sulking child. "It seems I need to bring out my trump card. Shall I sing for you?"

It is truly impossible

In the video, Miya seems to be trying to look further through the lens. Her gaze is hazy yet profound. This is something Qiu Ying had never been able to imitate, especially when facing the eyes of her beloved.

Qiu Ying suddenly recalled the day at home when she spoke to Ji about the story behind this piece of music. His lonely smile.

His peach blossom eyes are electrifying. Even when he is not smiling, there is a sense of deep affection in his gaze. Qiu Ying's heart skipped a beat. She could not withstand his gaze. Her thoughts became a tangled mess.

"Beyond the Sky" is a Chinese single with a very limited release. There was no promotion at all. It went out of print just a few days after its release. She occasionally received a CD from a Firework fan.

Oh dear. After all, she is good-looking. Ji Shen didn't say she was his girlfriend. Perhaps she just pursued him a bit too aggressively. Let's just go with the flow and have some fun

The cause was that one time Qiu Ying happened to see Sun Zeyi sitting by the window sewing. As she approached, she realized it was Ji Xiangkong's shirt. The ancient deity shook his head with a helpless smile: "This child Xiangkong really doesn't know what he's doing all day. His clothes keep getting torn."

Later, she went to South Korea to become a trainee. He also went to South Korea to study abroad and joined a professional esports team. His professional career in South Korea was quite difficult due to his lack of talent, and he often struggled to persevere. It was the presence of the goddess that gave him hope. After training for a year at a large company, she was eliminated due to lack of prospects and subsequently joined a smaller company. The performance of her released singles was dismal, and she had no schedules, which meant she could not go to television stations to promote her songs. She could only perform in small venues, on the streets, and in shopping malls.

She could only perform in small venues, on the streets, and in shopping malls.

The dim yellow light of the streetlamp enveloped him, stretching his shadow long. His handsome features were obscured, appearing sorrowful to the point of evoking pity

They walked side by side towards the parking area. The night breeze was quite cool. The leaves swayed, producing a rustling sound. A few drunken young men passed by not far away. It was unclear whether they were heartbroken, as they sang loudly to Xue Zhiqian's "Actor".

The five seconds of invincibility of the demon priest is ineffective in the face of Guy's execution

The Firework, which is now popular throughout Asia, once went through a long nightmarish experience. It was like a small boat trembling as it sailed on the vast ocean. With just a moment of inattention, it could be swallowed by the waves, sinking to the bottom of the sea, never to see the light of day again

"Hello, hello. Don't talk nonsense. Xiang Kong has never done such a thing." Lin Yixuan's gaze swept to Qiu Ying, who was standing at the door. Instantly, he froze. He hurriedly stepped forward. "Everyone is just bored and gossiping. Don't take it to heart."

Qi Yue's chest heaved violently. Scenes from after the match flashed through his mind, where Ji Xiangkong pointed out his operational mistakes in front of the entire team. The moments when Ji paused the video to show him were replayed in his mind. Qi Yue, whose temper was already volatile, slammed his palm forcefully on the table in front of Ji Xiangkong and said sternly: "Hey. With your trash operations, what face do you have to give me advice?!"

Firework became an overnight sensation. Miya became synonymous with miracles. However, after that, the distance between the two only grew further apart. Ji Xiangkong felt that his mediocre self had no right to stand beside the goddess. Thus, he returned to his home country to develop his career. Until now.

Qiu Ying finally came to her senses. She pouted and sat down beside him

Ji Xiangkong turned his head to look at her, smiling with his eyes curved: "Really not possible"

"Only gamers discuss preferences. We are professional players." Ji Xiangkong smiled, his attitude exceedingly patient. "The more heroes one can play, the greater the advantage in team composition. If one always imitates others, one will forever lag behind."

Qiao Xin pressed him down onto the sofa: "Don't be angry. Everyone understands. In the autumn competition, you are the absolute star of VPG. Your form has revived. You carry the entire game every time."

That night, Qiu Ying took the initiative to approach Ji Xiangkong: "Brother Sun is very busy. Your clothes are torn. I can help you sew them up too." She paused for a moment. "I charge a fee for that."

In the dead of night, this remark echoed ambiguously in the carriage. Her eyes were like pools of water, and her eyelashes fluttered. After speaking, she realized it was inappropriate, and her entire face flushed with embarrassment

If Miya truly admits that her first love is no longer there, wouldn't a devoted fan like you be heartbroken

You should know the story that follows..." Ji Xiangkong lowered his head to look at the ground, his expression devoid of any emotion. "That video of the meal was uploaded by me."

Her life began to change from that moment. Like a screw that had long been buried in the mud, rusting and molding in the rain. Finally, it poked its head out from the sludge beneath her feet and felt the overwhelming brilliance of the sunlight.

Qiu Ying furrowed her delicate brows upon hearing this. Her expression was extremely serious: "It really is a curse!"

She spoke in a dismissive tone. Lu Yiyi, undeterred, advised: "We are now in the era of self-media and fan economy. The fame of a streamer can only last a few years at best. What Qiao Xin is doing is quite wise. It is better to convert fame into cash as early as possible"

Qiu Ying got up and found a blue disc in the bookshelf. A chill immediately began to creep up her spine and spread throughout her body

She hung up the phone. Qiu Ying nestled in her e-sports chair, scrolling through Weibo. Ever since she took to the commentary stage for the CPL Autumn Tournament, she has gained immense popularity. There are those who mindlessly follow the trend of criticizing her as a green tea bitch, while others support her, amazed by her commentary performance. Fans recorded her live streams and created various videos, including her memorable commentary quotes, daily humorous segments, and a compilation of "One Hundred Ways to Die" while playing Conquer. However, to her surprise, the video that made it to the Weibo trending topics was her early imitation of Miya's dance.

This is certain. Counterfeit and original. There is simply no comparison

She took a deep breath and smiled at him, saying, "I am fine"

In an instant, she seemed to hear the sound of gears slowly turning in the darkness

That day, after learning from Lin Yixuan that Ji Xiangkong had once deeply liked someone, Qiu Ying returned to the internet café feeling very unsettled. She tried her best to appear nonchalant, but the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. It was not until Ji Xiangkong brushed aside her hair that had been blown by the wind, leaned on his knees, and looked directly into her eyes, asking, "Are you feeling unwell? Should I take you home?"

How is it? Do you feel a flutter in your heart?" Ji Xiangkong suddenly turned his head. He relaxed his brows and eyes, revealing a cynical smile. "It is said that when a man shares his sorrowful past with a woman, it is easy to win her favor.

Qiu Ying did not speak. She did not want Ji Xiangkong to misunderstand

During the breaks from her training, Ji Xiangkong would go to watch her performances. They encouraged each other and naturally fell in love. In the darkest and most helpless moments of their careers, they were each other's only light

Oh, by the way. Qiao Xin has opened a Taobao store. Snacks, men's clothing, peripherals. Everything is available. You could learn a thing or two from this

Lin Yixuan was in the midst of a fierce battle. He turned to Qiu Ying, who was washing apples by the sink, and shouted: "Sister Ying, please help me pour a glass of cola"

The sun is setting. The light filtering through the curtains casts a warm and gentle glow over Sun Zeyi. He looks up and softly says to Qiu Ying: "Little Qiu, please go to the backyard and ask them to prepare dinner. Don't get too carried away with the basketball."

Qiu Ying inhaled sharply. The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. She heard low laughter coming from around her. It was then that she noticed Ji Xiangkong's arm casually resting on the back of her chair. During the argument, their heads had almost been close together. Thus, she blushed and shifted slightly to the side, feeling both shy and delighted.

No wonder this scoundrel disappears for so long at night. Turns out he went to chase girls! Qi Yue scoffed disdainfully. If they don't win the championship in the end, he will be the first to be blamed!

Qiao Xin wrapped her arms around Qi Yue's neck. Her lips were pressed closely to his ear: "Ah, I am not like Qiu Ying. I truly like you."
