En: He stopped blaming and started listening to his teammates' suggestions.
Zh: “也许,我们应该合作。”凯提议道。
En: "Perhaps we should collaborate," Kai suggested.

The window is full of tension and expectations. This is the last time the game of the game is played in the game. It is the game's meeting. It is very happy to know the team's feelings for the game. This game, we must get a good result. It is determined that every game has a creative side, but it is often being overwhelmed by itself. It is only a matter of the script that is in the hand, but it is not good to do it. It is a full-fledged actor, and he has a lot of performance. He has a lot of self-confidence, and he often has a lot of plans for the game. This is a clear summary.
He knows that he wants to respect the traditional activities of the family. But this also means that he has limited time. He decided to separate the time, give half to the family, give half to the players. Every version of the script is not that perfect. It depends on the mood of the mood. He knows that the time is tight, but it is not safe. In the series, he has always been excited and made it very painful. You can't give up every time. You need to remember the game. It is clear. At that time, everyone's feelings were very nervous. He started to pressure and started to reflect his own direction. He stopped the line and started to understand our opinion. Maybe we should cooperate. He mentioned that every time I felt relieved, I finally felt the feeling of my own script.
The wind also decided to make better content in the script and it was not completely sudden. The weather in the game is not good enough to play on the stage and it is not necessary to focus on it. At the beginning of the performance, everyone was nervous, but the situation was very serious and the team was very nervous. At the stage, the audience was touched by the performance. After the game ended, it was clear that it was not just a rehearsal but it was clear and cooperation. Every time I felt relieved, I felt the fear of the stage. The wind found that the result was able to improve its performance. They achieved the recognition of the competition and gained more confidence than time. In the spring season, the new growth and hope has come to an end. Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. In the spring season, the sun rose through the window of the school

You can't imagine every time the competition requires discipline, reminded Kai.
