  Mo Huaifeng did not stand on ceremony with him at all, handing a glass to Ji Zhiyao, he sipped his juice while moving behind A.K…… “What are you playing?”


  “Heroes is planning to launch another edition of an eSports game and invited retired players like me to test it out. It’s not too bad, it’ll probably be out winter of next year.” A.K. pushed his spectacles higher on his nose and used his hand to block the screen. “I shouldn’t be showing you this, stay away.”


  “I don’t need to look and I can already guess what it will look like.” Mo Huaifeng moved back and sat down beside Ji Zhiyao, asking with a lazy countenance, “We begin training tomorrow?”


  A.K. slapped his own head. “Almost forgot the proper stuff, sending you the timetable, take a look.”


  Mo Huaifeng pulled out his phone, two seconds later, an image came from A.K……

  Cramped rows of words and more words filled his eyes.

  Mo Huaifeng gave it a few looks and handed it directly to Ji Zhiyao.

  Ji Zhiyao wore a confused look.

  This timetable was very full, and so strict to the point that the amount of time allocated for a meal, which hour of which minute was for a toilet break was written down clearly, many times more detailed compared to his training timetable back at Mix’s base.

  It was really very strict.

  A.K. said something, Mo Huaifeng said to Ji Zhiyao, “He is asking you where needs to be adjusted.”


  Since “coach” had already drafted up a timetable, he must have made very detailed plans already. Though Ji Zhiyao was slightly afraid, he still replied, “I think there’s no problem.”


  Mo Huaifeng checked again, “You sure?”


  “Totally okay.”


  Hence Mo Huaifeng translated his reply as it was to A.K., when Ji Zhiyao saw the fatherly smile the gradually grew on his face, he involuntarily heaved a sigh of relief deep down.

  A.K. pushed his spectacles higher as he said, “I brought back two sets of equipment yesterday, they are in the room beside the training room, you guys can go test them out. Also help me to tell him that we start training tomorrow.”


  “Okay.”


  Mo Huaifeng stood up and pulled Ji Zhiyao up as well. “Go take a look at the equipment that your master prepared.”


  Ji Zhiyao quickly stood up, bowed to A.K. then happily followed Mo Huaifeng to go look at his training area.

  The furnishing definitely wasn’t as perfect as A.K.’s personal training room, but it was very neat. Ji Zhiyao mainly tested the seat and the feeling of the mouse in his hand. He had to admit, A.K.’s taste was really not bad, everything was very suitable.

  Hence Ji Zhiyao leaned back in his seat and lifted his head to look at Mo Huaifeng. “It’s especially comfortable. Captain, are you not going to try yours out?”


  Mo Huaifeng casually found a spot and sat down. “No need. My adaptability is stronger than yours.”


  “Wow look at how awesome you are.”


  Mo Huaifeng made a “tsk” sound, then asked, “The training hours are so concentrated, is it really no problem?”


  “Should be fine.” Ji Zhiyao thought of the contents of the timetable again and expressed emotionally, “There’s a reason why Korea’s eSports is so strong, from that timetable you can tell how disciplined they usually are. Then take a look at our battleteam’s training, we banter more than we train, we ought to be ashamed.”


  “Especially you.”


  Mo Huaifeng checked the time, then stood up, saying, “We’ll just stay for a while more then go up and prepare for bed, got to wake up early tomorrow.”


  Ji Zhiyao nodded……

  Two months later.

  In front of the VIP gateway in the airport, Nuo pushed up the sunglasses resting on his nose, chewing bubble gum in his mouth. “When are Captain and NoHomo arriving? Any later, the plane will be taking off.”


  “They’re already at the gate, they will be here very soon after going through immigration. You’d be better off thinking whether you’d be beaten up or not.” Yuan Wei glanced at Nuo’s flowery and showy outfit with much disdain. “What kind of attire is this, are you trying to be a stylish, trending man?”


  Nuo grinned, “Isn’t this when in Rome, do as the Romans do? Since I’m taking flying as catching as breather and relaxing, I can only wear it now. Captain, NoHomo, here!”


  Mo Huaifeng and Ji Zhiyao who looking around searching for them turned back upon hearing his voice, Xiao exclaimed, “Oh dear, what happened to my son? Why has he lost so much weight?”


  The stats analyzer said, “Speed class isn’t easy to master, and his master happens to be the King of Speed A.K., training must be tough. But looking at his expression, I think the training has been going well.”


  They were chatting as the two from not too far out came closer and their sights both focused on Nuo at once.

  Ji Zhiyao snorted, “Nuo, what are you wearing, a color palette?”


  Nuo became angry from embarrassment. “Go, you’ve got no taste, don’t talk to me.”


  “He’s right. To avoid leaving behind the impression to our Japanese friends that all Chinese eSports players are like you, quickly find somewhere and change out of it.”


  Yuan Wei chimed in. “Let’s forget about changing, by the time he is done changing, the plane will have arrived in Japan. NoHomo, how about your luggage? Directly checking it in with ours?”


  Ji Zhiyao nodded, “Yes, Captain will help me to carry it. I’ll take another plane back home, when my sister finishes her examinations, I’ll then fly directly to Japan.”


  “Then we shall we waiting for you in Japan. It’s almost time, big boys, get your belongings and scram.”


  Those who had to grab their bags did so and those who had to find their boarding passes went ahead…… Mo Huaifeng’s gaze swept past them, then looked towards Ji Zhiyao and said in a low voice, “I’ll be waiting for you in Japan, stay safe.”


  Ji Zhiyao’s smile became even brighter. “I know. Captain, take care of yourself too.”


  Mo Huaifeng nodded, then followed behind Heng who turned back and looked about from time to time and entered the gateway.

  Till he could not see the figures anymore, Ji Zhiyao then pulled out his mask from his pocket, put it on, found a seat and started to rest with his eyes closed.

  His flight would be in another half hour, he could have a good rest for now.

  As someone who was about to return home alone, he was completely unaware of whether their coming out news from three months ago had subsided.

  If it hadn’t, it would certainly be chaos again.

  So, it was best to recuperate and store energy first.

  Half an hour later, Ji Zhiyao boarded the plane.

  As he hadn’t been getting much rest for the past two months, within the few minutes that he sat down, Ji Zhiyao had already dozed off and was out for several hours.

  When he woke up once again, it was time to alight.

  Ji Zhiyao asked for a glass of water from the air stewardess, downed it and sobered up slightly, then the plane landed, he carried his backpack off the plane.

  S City’s weather in June was very comfortable, Ji Zhiyao squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

  Because he was quite covered up and dressed very ordinarily, almost no one looked at him while he was on his way, he was very pleased with that.

  According to the tradition in Ji Qingge’s school, at this point, all the students would be back in their own homes for revision already. Hence Ji Zhiyao took a cab, heading right home.

  In less than an hour, he arrived.

  Ji Zhiyao alighted, walked hurriedly to his front door and pushed it open.

  Inside, it was quiet as he had expected, but a pair of shoes that Ji Qingge usually wore was on the shoe rack.

  Ji Zhiyao stealthily changed his shoes, put his backpack down and went upstairs.

  He had walked to the door, when he heard an angry wail from inside, evidently a howl belonging to Ji Qingge when she couldn’t solve her questions, Ji Zhiyao almost snorted out loud.

  He had enough, cleared his throat and pushed the door open. “Ji Qingge.”
