The end of November is a good season for hot springs, and many hot spring hotels are already full. In the end, Jiang Yunhua helped to book a hot spring hotel in Oita County, Kyushu. The air ticket was relatively simple, and the group arrived in Oita County two days later.
Because the team's documentary this year will be broadcast in December, they also brought a photographer when they went out to play this time, just to provide winter material for the documentary.
Jiang Yunhua booked an open-air hot spring hotel for them, a room for two people. In addition to the hot spring water provided for bathing in the house, there is also a public open-air hot spring in the backyard. A few people happen to be in the same courtyard, which is equivalent to a private room, so there is no need to worry about being with outsiders. Bathing together is embarrassing.
Everyone dine together in the room in the afternoon. The Japanese food in this hotel is quite authentic. The dishes are small and exquisite, and the taste is fresh and refreshing.
Halfway through the meal, Song Xueyang said, "This meal can be considered a practice for Xiao Ming. When we return to China, your withdrawal procedures will be approved, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was a little dull, and everyone looked at Fan Jingming in unison. Although everyone knew that he would be leaving soon, no one mentioned it. It seemed that as long as he didn't say it, this day would never come.
Fan Jingming put down his chopsticks, "Haha, yes. In fact, when I got off the plane yesterday, the manager called me to tell me that it had been approved, and you can leave anytime before the end of the transfer period."
After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Shi Yi next to him, and Shi Yi poked at the pork chop rice in the bowl, his expression was indifferent.
Zhou Ning also put down his chopsticks and asked with concern, "Are you going home? Where do you plan to develop?"
"Not yet," Fan Jingming smiled, "but I saw that Shanghai Xingyuan Entertainment Company was recruiting trainees, and I submitted my resume to try it out. Two small studios also contacted me, but I don't feel very reliable. "
Zhou Jing asked, "Brother Xiao Ming still planning to be a model?"
"I'm afraid not, 26 years old, being a model is too old," he sighed, pretending to be pitiful, "Hey, when you are old, you will be despised wherever you go."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I didn't think about it. I wanted to develop into film and television, broadcasting and hosting, but it was difficult for me to find a partner because of my height, and I couldn't sing and dance. When I was about to retire, I realized that there was no one other than games. A skill."
Hai Xing asked innocently, "Do you want to learn a beauty salon? My mother said that she would be an apprentice in three months."
Everyone couldn't help laughing twice, Song Xueyang teased, "I'll see, I can also start a live broadcast by the way, I'm sure it will be popular."
Fan Jingming also burst out laughing, "Okay, Xingxing, if these families fail, I'll go to beauty salon with my auntie!"
Song Xueyang clashed with him, "Don't worry too much, we have been friends for so many years, if you have any difficulties, we will definitely help you find a solution. I have a friend Bei Piao, although he is also a trickster now, but he can get along well, at least he has stability. Pianyuan, I mentioned to him before, if you are not afraid of hard work, I can give you his contact information and let him take you."
Fan Jingming smiled and looked at Shi Yi next to him, "Thank you, but forget it, I plan to develop in Shanghai."
Starfish asked in confusion, "Why? Are you not a northerner?"
Fan Jingming casually hugged Shi Yi's shoulder, and said jokingly, "I'll stay with you in Shanghai!"
Shi Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that Fan Jingming's hand on his shoulder was like a soldering iron, and it was extremely hot through the thin shirt.
Everyone didn't think much about it. Fan Jingming and Zhou Ning were the first team members of Fengyue. They had lived in Shanghai for six years, and they must have had an extraordinary affection for this city.
Shen Huai said, "It's better to stay in Shanghai, and you can come back often."
"That's right, Yushen is still distressed! If one day I can't hang out, can Fengyue's dormitory be borrowed for two days?"
Song Xueyang said, "It's fine to borrow you to live for two years."
"Good brother! There is nothing in vain, cheers!"
The wine glasses collided, and the dull atmosphere relaxed a lot.
Fan Jingming put down his glass and asked, "What about you, captain? I'm leaving. What professional team do you plan to recruit?"
This is also what everyone is curious about. The occupation of the new players is related to the lineup and team fighting style of next year.
Song Xueyang said calmly, "What about you guys? What kind of teammates do you want? I'll consider everyone's opinions."
Zhou Ning said, "I think let's have some meat. Once Xiao Ming is gone, I can't handle it alone."
Mention this, Zhou Ning is full of bitterness.
As the only front row of Maple Moon, he will always be at the forefront. He is the first to die in every team battle. He can survive for two seconds when the enemy's firepower is not strong. In encounters like WG and Thunder The violent fire lineup is really a gray screen every minute, and the KDA (kill-to-death ratio) throughout the year is not unexpectedly counted backwards.
Song Xueyang nodded and asked again, "Where's Shiyi?"
"I?"
"What kind of partner do you want?"
"Let's see Captain," he whispered, "I think another Berserker would do."
Shen Huai said concisely, "Control."
Everyone nodded and looked back on their games this year. Whenever the game was difficult, it was either because the enemy had too much control or too many nurses. Fengyue's control was entirely dependent on Zhou Ning and Fan Jingming. Now that Fan Jingming is gone, Zhou Ning alone is in the front row and in control, the pressure is not ordinary.
Zhou Jing said, "Treat."
Hai Xing was not satisfied, "We already have you in the team, what kind of treatment do you need? I'm enough to have you, I don't need a nurse."
Zhou Jing's heart was scalded, and it was rare that she didn't talk back to Hai Xing.
Song Xueyang smiled and said, "We already have Zhou Jing in the team, and having one more support is really a drag, especially in rescuing the hostages. The double support lineup is not easy to play."
Fan Jingming said, "If you can find a powerful Poison-type Holy Light, it's not bad. It has both flesh and output. Although there is no control, 1V1 and 2V2 are not false. It's just too hard to find."
Poison-type Holy Light has relatively high requirements on operation and awareness. Power is god, and vegetables are scum. Without training in advance, it is difficult to find a suitable one.
Song Xueyang said, "Last year we only recruited one person in the training camp. The club was very dissatisfied and asked me to recruit people in the training camp this year. However, we won the world championship this year. It is said that there are a few good newcomers. I plan to let them go first. They practice for a while, and then watch again in mid-December."
Fan Jingming nodded again and again, "Yes, how can I be the main selection when I first joined the team? Anyway, I have to practice it in the training camp."
Hai Xing twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that Song Xueyang didn't come to pick people until the last week of the transfer period when he joined the team, which made people panic in a month of training camp.
After dinner, everyone went back to the room and made an appointment to come out to take a bath in the hot spring. Zhou Jing was inconvenient. She planned to rest in the room for a while, so that everyone could leave her alone and have a good time.
As soon as Fan Jingming brought Shi back to the room, the little guy was very silent all the way. As soon as Fan Jingming entered the room, he wrapped his arms around his neck and put his arms around him, teasing, "Little thing, you don't say anything if you want to leave. In other words, my brother really hurts you in vain."
He turned Shi Yi's head to himself forcibly, but when he lowered his head, he was panicking.
Shi Yi's eyes were red and moist, and tears were about to roll out of his eyes.
Fan Jingming quickly let go of him and coaxed, "I'm joking, I know you don't want me to go, I'm just teasing you."
Shi Yi glared at him with big red eyes, turned around, picked up the bathrobe and walked to the bathroom, and after a while, there was the sound of rushing water.
Fan Jingming didn't dare to follow, just stood at the door and knocked gently on the glass door.
"I don't want you to be too sad. I promised to accompany you in Shanghai, but I won't leave. You see today, the captain introduced me to Beipio, but I didn't even go. As for you, there will be new teammates, just like Xiaosheng's early days. I didn't know my new classmates well at first, but later they became good friends. As for me, I'll stay in Shanghai until you retire, until you leave the city..."
The more Fan Jingming talked, the more he felt like a bitter old mother. By the time he realized it, the sound of water had stopped.
He heard footsteps coming near and far, then the sound of the doorknob being held.
Fan Jingming's heart was raised, Shi Yi wore a bathrobe, wiped his hair, and walked out refreshingly, "Brother Xiao Ming, go take a shower, and you'll have to take a hot spring outside in a while."
Fan Jingming stared at him for a while, he looked much better, and the red eyes disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
Fan Jingming understood, pulled out his bathrobe and walked to the bathroom, "OK! Wait a moment, brother, let me show you what a model looks like!"
The door closed softly, and there was a rustling of water inside.
Shi Yi smiled lightly, and secretly stuffed the gift he prepared in advance into Fan Jingming's suitcase.
An hour later, everyone gathered in the hot spring in the backyard, and Ge You was lying on the starfish, only showing his small head, "It's so comfortable~~~"
Zhou Ning put the towel on his head and took a selfie and sent it to Guan He, and he received a reply from there after a while.
Guan He: Protect yourself.
Zhou Ning laughed and murmured, "Nervous disease."
Shen Huai came early, his face was reddened by the steam of the hot spring water, he leaned to one side and closed his eyes, while Song Xueyang half leaned on the stone edge to help him peel the oranges.
It's already a bit cold outside this season, but the hot spring is very hot again. The feeling of alternating hot and cold is like eating a popsicle in the hot summer, which is very refreshing.
Knowing that Fan Jingming was leaving, everyone came over to chat with him one by one, and Shen Huai was no exception. Fan Jingming thought he was here to say goodbye to him, but he didn't expect Shen Huai to speak.
"Are you interested in signing a contract with Shen's Group Shanghai Branch? I asked Uncle Jin, the branch can let Brother Liu take you. He was my former agent. I was the one who held him back before. He has a good eye for acting and seeing people. And he said, if you want, he just has a resource on hand that he wants to recruit, but there is no suitable candidate."
Fan Jingming could hear that it was really sincere and sincere for a person like Shen Huai to recommend so much to him, without any politeness.
Although the Shen Group is not comparable to several well-known entertainment companies in the circle, it has the brand of Shen Nuo.
In addition to Shen Nuo's reputation, he doesn't care about the salary anymore. Many times he will reduce his salary to make friends with some capable directors and screenwriters. These people also like to invest in him when they have good film sources. Resource channels that entertainment companies do not have.
Fan Jingming was also moved, but firstly, such a well-known company rarely recruited people publicly, and would not sign an older leftover man like him, and secondly, the Shen Group was developing in Beijing, and he wanted to stay in Shanghai.
He immediately asked, "Shen Group also established a company in Shanghai?"
Shen Huai nodded, "Well, the branch that was just established, you can become a veteran after you sign it at this time."
Fan Jingming, who is a veteran and not a veteran, doesn't care. The key is that a regular film and television company is willing to sign him, and he has a film source when he joins the job. Fan Jingming has worked as a model and knows that resources are hard to come by. He has gone through a huge back door!
Fan Jingming wanted to hug Shen Huai for a kiss, but he held back under Song Xueyang's coveted eyes.
"Shen Huai, will you inherit the Shen Group in the future?"
Shen Huai hummed, "Should."
"should?"
"If my dad didn't have an illegitimate child behind my back."
"Then I don't think Teacher Shen will."
"I don't think so."
The two looked at each other and smiled, Fan Jingming continued, "Shen Huai, I really admire you, others are afraid that money and career issues will affect their relationship, so they try to avoid getting involved with their friends in this regard. I go to your company, not afraid that I will cause you trouble in the future?"
Shen Huai smiled, "With your words, what should I worry about?"
Fan Jingming patted his chest, "Don't worry, Shen Huai, I will keep this kindness in my heart, no matter what happens in the future, I will never complain to you."
After he promised, he asked curiously, "What is the source of the film?"
Shen Huai said without thinking, "Movie."
"Isn't it?" Fan Jingming was shocked. He thought it would be a TV series or a web series. After all, the starting point of the movie was too high. How many stars struggled for half their lives and could not get on the big screen, but he actually made a movie as soon as he debuted
"It's not good for me, at my level, right?"
Shen Huai said, "I know you plan to let Uncle Jin help you pay attention when you retire this year. I wanted to say it when I was eating, but after thinking about it, it's better to tell you after I've decided. Don't worry, we won the world championship this year. It has also set off a wave of e-sports. The partner intends to take the opportunity to make an inspirational movie related to e-sports to catch up with the trend. You are popular in the e-sports circle and you are a retired professional player. The partner is very willing to accept you. It’s also just right to act in its true colors.”
"Damn it!" Fan Jingming exclaimed, his eyes glowing, "Shen Huai, you are just like Nuwa's golden thighs!"
Shen Huai smiled, raised his hand and gave him a high five, "Waiting to see your new movie, Fan Yingdi."
Fan Jingming said rather dog-legged, "Okay, Mr. Shen!"
Everyone had a great time in Japan this time. For Fan Jingming, the employment problem was solved, and every day was very nourishing.
After returning to the team, everyone got together for the last time for a live broadcast. During the live broadcast, Fan Jingming personally announced to the fans that he had completed the retirement procedures. This was the last time to play games with everyone.
Fans couldn't help crying, especially when they learned that Fan Jingming would not stay in the e-sports circle after retiring.
Fan Jingming smiled and asked everyone to continue to support Fengyue, and Shi Yi, who supported the demolition team, didn't say a word about his contract with the Shen Group.
The next day, Fan Jingming left the team. He wanted to go home and stop by the head office in Beijing to sign a contract.
Everyone took him to the airport together, and there were fans who came to hear the news. The scene was as tragic as parting from life and death.
Fan Jingming said goodbye to everyone one by one, and opened his hands to hug Shiyi.
"Goodbye, partner, don't worry, I will remind you to cut your hair as scheduled."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the suitcase and waved goodbye to everyone. Shiyi felt the generous palm stroke over his head, looked at the back of the suitcase and said to himself in the bottom of his heart, come on, you will start today. To even his share of efforts!
After returning to the team, we also ushered in a period of vacation. Shiyi has been busy with training and competitions all year, and finally he has time to go home to visit his parents.
Hai Xing and Zhou Jing hired private tutors to teach them English, and the two devoted themselves to foreign language learning, just like preparing for the third year of high school.
Zhou Ning brought his parents back to Nanjing. He got a lot of championship bonuses and year-end dividends this year, and he paid off the money he owed Guan He in one go.
Guan He was about to set off for London. His parents were there too. He went to adapt to the environment ahead of time, just in time for New Year's Eve with his family.
The two said goodbye at the airport, and Guan He held onto his hand, "Wait for me, I'll call you when I'm settled."
Zhou Ning waved his hand with a smile, "I know, I know, help me find the way in advance."
Guan He's hand tightened, "You will come to me!"
Zhou Ning thought it was a little funny, someone like Guan He who wants to be windy and rainy, and who is so good that makes people jealous will have such uneasy times.
"Of course you have to take advantage of it, Senior Guan."
Guan He suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged him tightly, "I will send you the contact information when I get there, you are not allowed to ignore me or hide from me, you can discuss anything with me at any time. I've noticed the right fit, and I'll let you know as soon as there is news, you... take care."
Zhou Ning felt sour at what he said, but he still waved his hand with a smile, "I know, you can go! Don't worry!"
Guan He nodded and walked into the security check with his suitcase. He turned around frequently on the road. Zhou Ning stood there with a smile on his face, until Guan He's figure completely disappeared from sight.
He has been waiting in the waiting hall, chatting with Guan He on WeChat, waiting for Guan He's plane to take off from the airport. The rumbling sound came from overhead, and he got up and left, feeling lost in his heart, something seemed to follow Guan He. flew away.
This kind of feeling is not unfamiliar, just like when he left Guanhe and came to Fengyue six years ago, but at that time he was alone on the way to the airport. He felt that there was a hole in his heart that could not be filled. This time it was not filled with anything.
After leaving the airport, he put away his mobile phone and smiled at the clear blue sky.
For the first time, he felt that the future path was so clear. After playing the professional game, he went to Guan He and spent the rest of his life with him.
His grey, foggy road of life that was forever shrouded in mist and could not be seen clearly has now been cleared away, and when he stepped on the intersection, he seemed to be able to smell the fragrance at the end.
Everything has been very different.
