"How do you want me to help? It's impossible that I take him by the hand and teach him. What's more, this requires a certain gift. Even if I do teach him, he might not be able to master it. Fi, you do know how many eSports players I guided in the year after I retired. What was the outcome, the only one that can be put out there is Boxer, and even he has yet to grasp everything and only managed to learn some superficial stuff."
"He is different. Very talented and hardworking. He's only played professionally for 18 months and has already managed to make it to no. 39 on the international rankings based on a few competitions. Of course, if he had participated in more competitions before the rankings were renewed, I believe his ranking would definitely be higher than this. Besides, you've always held speed class style in esteem. A. K, we can no longer see the shadow of speed class style on the international competing stage. Don't you regret that?"
A. K was stunned.
Then a moment of silence fell over them.
Ji Zhiyao secretly took several peeks at the two, then decided to lower his head and continue to eat his own food.
Anyways he could not understand anything and there was a language barrier, even if he were dissuade their argument, A. K would not understand him.
A. K sighed deeply, then said, "You're right, I do feel very regretful. But I do not know if your boyfriend is the one who can remedy my regret."
Mo Huaifeng lifted the corner of his lips into a smile."A. K, how will you know if you don't try?"
A. K glared at him and promptly gritted out, "I knew it, when this person who would never take the initiative to contact me suddenly wanted to treat me to a meal yesterday, he was totally up to no good."
"You can't say that, I'm here to deliver a disciple to you." Mo Huaifeng said, "Since you're idle, why not do something meaningful?"
"I cannot continue with this conversation, you're driving me to my grave."
A. K harshly took a bite of the spicy rice cake in his bowl, as if he was venting his anger, then said, "We'll go to my place after this, I must verify whether what you said is true. If I'm not satisfied, no matter what you say, I will not take him in."
Mo Huaifeng wore a lazy look."Alright."
The topic of the conversation finally drew to a close and they began to eat quietly. Ji Zhiyao sent a look to Mo Huaifeng and mouthed, "What did you guys talk about? Were both of you arguing?"
Mo Huaifeng shook his head."You will know very soon."
Hence Ji Zhiyao confusedly continued to dig in.
With one look at Ji Zhiyao's blank expression, A. K guessed that Mo Huaifeng had not told him anything at all and instantly felt more enraged at heart.
This person was absolutely not the Fi that he used to know!
How could the two words gentle and thoughtful, ever have anything to do with Fi?
How many people in the eSports scene did not know that Fi was known to be bad-tempered and not to be trifled with, it didn't seem like he was any bit more thoughtful to his teammates and had always existed as a team dictator.
Seems like love can really change a person.
A. K bit his spoon and thought silently.
The trio ate for more than half an hour, when they were more or less done, Mo Huaifeng went out to settle the bill.
Leaving only Ji Zhiyao and A. K in the room.
A. K looked at him, then suddenly blurted out English with slightly weird intonations."Why do you like him?"
Ji Zhiyao was startled by A. K and simply blinked and stared at him. A. K reached out his fingers to make the gesture of a little bit, indicating that he could only speak a little bit of English.
Ji Zhiyao understood it, then thought for a moment before replying, "He's great in all aspects."
This person is probably blind.
The filter of love is truly scary.
When Mo Huaifeng returned from settling the bill, he saw these two people seated unmoving, staring into space, the atmosphere was slightly awkward. Hence he asked Ji Zhiyao, "What's up?"
"Captain, my idol asked me just now about what I like about you. Do you think he is trying to steal your boyfriend?"
Stealing his boyfriend was quite unlikely, it was probably more of wanting to find out the reason to tease him.
Ji Zhiyao pretended to be in deep thought."If he is planning to, should I say yes or no?"
Mo Huaifeng gritted his teeth.
"But that doesn't sound too right. Since someone is intending to woo me, why am I not finding a pretty lady to be my girlfriend right away?"
"Ji Zhiyao!"
Ji Zhiyao chuckled playfully."Oh dear, don't mind me, I was just casually saying things."
Mo Huaifeng was about to explode.
With a turn of his head, he saw the completely unconcealed mocking smile on A. K's face. Mo Huaifeng expressionlessly took two steps towards him, then patted his shoulder forcefully."I'll hand everything to you later."
A. K twisted his already numb shoulder about with pained cries, he felt like weeping but had no tears.
This guy was still as annoying as before.
After putting on their caps and mask, the three of them left the tavern. A. K reached out and flagged down a taxi, then gave an address.
Ji Zhiyao sat in the backseat and asked Mo Huaifeng confusedly, "Captain, didn't you take me out to meet my idol? What else are we going to do?"
"Going to take you out and sell you, are you scared?"
What the hell?
Mo Huaifeng glanced at him, deciding to stop messing with him, he explained, "Weren't you always unsure of how to train for your speed class style? I got A. K to be your master to guide you. But he's not an easy person, and insisted on taking a concrete look at your handling before he makes a decision."
A. K as his master?!
Putting aside the fact that he was Chinese, even in Korea, there were probably only a handful of professional players who are able to have A. K guide them closely.
It went to show how much his Captain was quietly doing in the background for him...
Ji Zhiyao was utterly touched."Captain, you are really good to me, I will definitely repay your great kindness. '
Mo Huaifeng did not understand something that could be achieved with a meal and a few words could make Ji Zhiyao so touched, yet he decided to keep all that to himself, and look totally calm on the surface."It's good that you know."
Ji Zhiyao nodded fervently.
Then he recalled Mo Huaifeng's other words and became a little nervous."Take a concrete look at my handling? What handling? Am I to play a match on the spot for A. K to spectate?"
Mo Huaifeng frowned."I'm not too sure either. We'll just see what he asks for."
Ji Zhiyao nodded.
The taxi arrived at the destination that A. K requested very quickly.
It was an apartment estate for single people. The three of them alighted, A. K walked at the front. After entering the password to the smart lock, he opened the door.
They entered the apartment, A. K changed his shoes, then brought out two pairs of disposable slippers and placed them on the floor for Ji Zhiyao and Mo Huaifeng. After changing their shoes, they followed A. K into the house.
A. K gestured."Come with me."
He walked in front and led the two of them upstairs.
The apartment was evidently for one person's living and was very clean, everything was arranged in good order. Ji Zhiyao took a few glances around the apartment, then followed A. K into the room furthest in the east.
This was a training room for one person.
The computer was still turned on. From the equipment to the seat, it was evident that everything was used often. They could tell that, though A. K had already retired, he was still insisting on training by himself.
