The water in the bathroom was pouring down like a waterfall. The steam gradually blurred the two people's vision, but to Ji Siyue, the image of the person in front of her seemed to become more and more real and vivid bit by bit.
"When did it recur?"
"The time when you had a car accident."
Ji Siyue closed her eyes and with great effort, said word by word, "So, during all this long time, your illness has actually been recurring?"
By the end, Ji Siyue's voice even trembled a little.
Qin Chengyao thought Ji Siyue would surely be angry with him. He just nodded sullenly.
But what he didn't expect was that after learning all this, the first thing Ji Siyue did was to reach out and hug Qin Chengyao's body tightly.
Both of them were completely soaked. With their bodies pressed so tightly together, besides feeling each other's body temperature, they could even feel each other's heartbeat.
"Aren't you angry that I've been hiding my illness from you?"
"I'm so angry that I could explode right now, but when I think about your situation, I just feel heartache... You're really a fool, you know?"
"Actually, the situation isn't that serious. I just occasionally feel my heart racing or have a headache. When I really can't bear it, I'll smoke a cigarette. I promise that since you caught me last time, this is the only time I've smoked. There's no other time."
Hearing these words, Ji Siyue felt heartache on one hand and couldn't help but want to laugh on the other.
So it turned out that he felt dizzy during the last competition because he had a recurrence of his illness!
Moreover, this guy had only smoked twice, and both times he was caught by her. It was really pitiful and laughable.
"Qin Chengyao, from today on, I'll keep an eye on your illness at all times. I'll also contact your doctor. You must get a good treatment for this illness. I won't let this illness affect your health."
What's more, this illness was caused by her.
Qin Chengyao just lay on Ji Siyue's body and nodded, just like a big dog wagging its tail.
"I'll listen to whatever you say. If you want me to recover soon, why don't you watch over me personally?"
"So you've been waiting for this!"
Qin Chengyao loosened his hold on Ji Siyue a little and stared deeply into her eyes.
"To be honest, I feel like I'm dreaming when I can hold you like this."
Dreams are easily broken. It's enough to show how obsessed and unable to let go Qin Chengyao was about Ji Siyue's leaving back then.
Ji Siyue reached out and touched Qin Chengyao's face. After a while, she stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin.
When that gentle touch landed on his body, Qin Chengyao knew that all this was not a dream at all.
He looked down at Ji Siyue and directly picked her up...
...
Next was the in - team competition. There were still half a month left. In this half - month period, the things that GH needed to do were: 1. Improve the in - team tacit understanding; 2. Rehearse a new lineup; 3. Collect information about the opponent.
In the previous competitions, they had always been competing with the players from Group A, so most of the information they collected was about the opponents from that group. This time, the opponent they drew was IK.
This team had always been ranked second in Group B. The scores were very close, usually only two or three points apart. There were even several times when they were overtaken during the competition but managed to even the score by the end.
Ji Siyue found out that the opponent seemed to have newly signed a player, but the information about this player seemed to be confidential, so it was still unknown.
"Although they've only signed a new player, with one more person in the team, there will be more possibilities to explore."
"I don't think we need to be too nervous about that person." Qin Chengyao said, "This is a team - cooperation game. Even if one person is very powerful, it doesn't really matter that much. As far as I know, IK has always relied on their strong teamwork ability to win. Sometimes they don't even need to rehearse their own lineup. They just choose their lineup according to the opponent. Sometimes all five positions are counter - balanced to the opponent's. This is also their winning point. We need to work harder on this aspect."
After hearing this, everyone didn't know whether they should feel relieved or stressed.
They could feel relieved because in a short period of time, the tacit understanding of their team might not be very high, so the new player might not be very useful.
But they should be stressed because IK was like a multi - purpose team, as sticky as duct tape. They couldn't afford to be careless.
"I think we need to counter this kind of lineup."
"How can we counter a multi - purpose team? No matter what lineup we come up with, we'll be targeted."
"Then we'll also form a multi - purpose team. We might as well fight them to the death. They target us, and we target them. We'll start counter - balancing each other during the BP stage. At least in terms of the lineup, our chances of winning are the same."
In other words, what they needed to do was to quickly improve the in - team tacit understanding.
The opponent had a new player, and they also had a new player.
The winning rate for both sides was 50%. It was destined not to be an easy game.
This training was mainly focused on improving the tacit understanding. So Ji Siyue simply imported some of the previous game data into the practice server and let them play against themselves, aiming to train their tacit understanding.
The strongest opponent is always yourself. Everyone understood this truth.
While they were training, Ji Siyue went to find a doctor for Qin Chengyao.
This psychiatrist was very famous in the industry. After hearing about Qin Chengyao's case, he thought it was a great challenge and was willing to give it a try.
Ji Siyue told Qin Chengyao about this. After several rounds of communication between the two sides, they finally decided that the consultation time would be from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. every Saturday.
On the way back after the first consultation, Ji Siyue was driving, and Qin Chengyao said cautiously beside her, "Do I really have to spend two hours? I don't have much time for training now. How about one hour? Or one and a half hours?"
Ji Siyue was so angry that she laughed, "Originally, the weekly consultation time was three hours. The doctor adjusted it to two hours to accommodate your situation, and you still want to reduce it. I think you're asking for a beating!"
Since the two of them had resolved their misunderstandings, Ji Siyue's way of speaking had changed greatly from before. The most obvious change was that she was more fierce.
But this little change made Qin Chengyao feel extremely comfortable.
He wished he could stretch one minute into two. Now the treatment was just to make Ji Siyue feel at ease.
She was the medicine. As long as she was around, everything would be okay.
