For Love of the Game

Chapter 25: Second invitation

Views:

Shen Huai was speechless, and after a long circle, he still couldn't escape the fox's eyes.

But he soon felt that this was not bad. If he was asked to explain it, he would never know how to speak.

He looked at Song Xueyang and said sincerely, "It's been hard work all the way."

An indescribable excitement surged in Song Xueyang's heart, his fingertips trembled slightly, but his face was still calm. He put down his things and stepped forward to give Shen Huai a big hug.

He thought, from now on, Cang Yu is his.

Shen Huai's most intimate movements with people only stopped at hugging his shoulders, the object was still his father, and the rest of his friends would at most shake hands. Now he is suddenly hugged tightly by a man who has only met twice, so overwhelmed that he can't even breathe, but the excitement and nervousness of Song Xueyang he can feel through this hug makes him unable to bear to refuse. .

Fortunately, Song Xueyang's hug only lasted for a few seconds, he changed his shoes and simply walked around the room.

Shen Huai's home decoration style is very simple, even a bit empty. The light-colored tables, chairs and sofas look very clean but less popular, and there are faint echoes when he speaks.

"You live by yourself?" Song Xueyang asked.

"Well," Shen Huai put Song Xueyang's luggage into the guest room, "My dad's property is not here, but he is very busy and doesn't have time to go back."

"You too, right."

He could see that the living room and kitchen of the house were empty, and the furniture was so neatly arranged that it didn't look like it would be used often.

Shen Huai said indifferently, "I bought the house for two years and lived at home for about three months."

Song Xueyang understood, Shen Huai was in a sense a well-known big star, he was running around all year round, and it was a luxury for him to go home.

Next to the guest room is Shen Huai's bedroom. The door is half-open, and the computer screen shows the game that has not been turned off. The mechanical keyboard of the Corsair K95 platinum version during the live broadcast yesterday was lying on the keyboard tray.

Compared with other rooms, this bedroom is full of vitality, with professional computer desks and gaming chairs, top-level peripheral accessories, a comfortable big bed next to the computer desk, and some game figures neatly placed on the bookshelf, and there are also placed below. A small refrigerator.

This is really the dream room of the majority of gamers. A swivel chair can make everything in the room within easy reach. I am afraid that apart from going to the door to pick up takeaway, you don't need to leave the room in daily life.

Song Xueyang didn't expect Shen Huai to have such a nerdy side. He sat down on the gaming chair, and the chair seemed to still have Shen Huai's body temperature.

He couldn't help thinking that Shen Huai usually sat on this chair and talked to him, using this computer to perform operations that shocked everyone in the e-sports circle.

He habitually raised his head and rubbed his neck. This is a common problem of every e-sports player. Sitting in front of a computer desk for a long time will make his cervical spine uncomfortable, but when he looked up, he suddenly found a greeting card on the ceiling. The position of the card is directly above the chair, and it is almost impossible to detect if he hadn't done this action.

Song Xueyang's eyesight was very good, and he quickly recognized the familiar handwriting on the card - "No one can predict how far you can go, including yourself."

It was a greeting card that he wrote to comfort Shen Huai who had retired from the circle. It was thrown into the pocket of snacks that he gave him. At that time, he did not know that Shen Huai was Cang Yu, nor did he know that he quit the circle to play e-sports. , just because Shen Huai felt a slight similarity with Cang Yu, he wrote this greeting card.

He sees people very accurately, and after just a few days of getting along, he can see that Shen Huai is by no means the useless vase mentioned on the Internet.

It's just that he didn't expect that his easy work would be so meaningful to Shen Huai. If it was placed directly above the chair, wouldn't it mean that every time he was tired from practice, he could see this sentence when he raised his head

Thinking a little deeper, did your own words encourage him and remind him that he can go further

The somewhat cynical smile in Song Xueyang's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by an extremely serious look, the fingers on the table curled up one by one, and the sound of his own heartbeat that was gradually accelerating beside his ears.

He thought that he could make Shen Huai a person standing at the top of the e-sports circle.

His dreams, he can achieve.

Shen Huai turned out of the guest room and saw Song Xueyang sitting on his chair, looking up at the greeting card he had pasted on the ceiling.

He was stunned and stood at the door in embarrassment.

He did not lack chicken soup for the soul, nor did he lack people to encourage him, but this sentence was said by Song Xueyang, which was unusual for him.

Song Xueyang is a very powerful e-sports player. He has a unique vision and excellent ability to lead the team. Shen Huai believes in him even more than he believes in himself. Every time he saw this sentence, his heart became more determined, as if it inspired him to go further.

But that was normal, and now that the client found out, Shen Huai's heart was only embarrassed.

After a while, Song Xueyang also noticed him. He saw Shen Huai standing awkwardly at the door, her earlobes faintly tinged with pink under her broken hair, and her heart was softened.

He stood up and didn't mention the greeting card, "You were hungry before ordering takeout, right? I'll make you something to eat."

Shen Huai asked subconsciously, "How did you know that I ordered takeout?"

Song Xueyang couldn't help rubbing his head, "You let me in without the guard talking to you, obviously you know someone is coming, so it's either takeout or courier, you've just left the circle, this kind of sensitivity You shouldn’t leave your home address on the courier, so the only thing that has to be delivered to your door is takeaway.”

Shen Huai was stunned by his reasoning, but when he saw Song Xueyang rolling up his sleeves, he regained his senses, "Let's go out to eat, don't cook again after you get off the plane."

Song Xueyang looked sideways, "There are reporters outside, so you should stay at home obediently."

After saying that, he took off his jacket and walked into the kitchen with ease. Shen Huai was a little embarrassed, but thinking of the craftsmanship he had tasted in the Maple Moon team before, he couldn't help but want to eat again.

The kitchen is designed with a bar counter, and the sofa in the living room is opposite. When Song Xueyang turned around, he saw Shen Huai sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a look of anticipation, as if he was about to watch a cooking show.

Song Xueyang's cooking skills are quite good. He just used the poor ingredients in the refrigerator to make three dishes. The color is bright and fragrant. Shen Huai can't help swallowing just smelling it.

During this period, he received another call from the guard asking if he ordered takeout. Shen Huai walked to a place Song Xueyang couldn't see and whispered, "It's for you."

So, the model worker guards had a sumptuous lunch inexplicably.

Song Xueyang brought the dishes to the table and found two cans of Coke from the refrigerator. The two sat down at the table to toast.

Shen Huai asked the doubts in his heart, "How did you guess that it was Cang Yu? It's just a watch?"

Song Xueyang smiled and said, "And your birthday."

At first, when he saw Cang Yu's hands in the live broadcast, Song Xueyang just happened to think that Shen Huai also had such a pair of beautiful hands, but soon he remembered the clearance numbers of Shen Huai's secret training mini-game, and then thought of Shen Huai at that time. He became suspicious of his suspicious attitude of trust and exposed little feet, and Baidu searched Shen Huai's personal information, and he found out that the two had the same birthday.

Everything that followed was a matter of course.

"Then how did you find my address?"

Song Xueyang said with a half-smile, "You told me."

Shen Huai was at a loss for a moment, and soon realized that he had no defense against Song Xueyang at the time. He called the front desk of the hotel in front of him and asked them to help with the luggage. At that time, he left his detailed address.

"Do you remember my address?" Shen Huai looked like what you wanted to do to me at that time.

Song Xueyang said calmly, "I didn't remember it at the time. I thought about it carefully after confirming that you are Cang Yu."

Shen Huai: "..." Is your head a video recorder? Can it be played back afterwards

"Aren't you afraid of running for nothing? I never promised you to join Fengyue." Shen Huai was still surprised that Song Xueyang would suddenly come to the door.

"The decision is yours. Even if you don't want to join Fengyue in the end, I won't do anything."

Shen Huai was feeling that he was treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and when he saw Song Xueyang drinking a cola, he said lightly, "It's just a matter of staying at your house and preventing you from contacting other teams until the transfer period ends."

Shen Huai: "..." Thank you for saying it!

Song Xueyang held Shen Huai's hand on the table across the table, "Shen Huai, give me a chance, I will prove to you that Fengyue is the most suitable team for you, trust me this time, eh?"

Shen Huai couldn't help looking at him, but the moment he raised his head, he fell into those deep and serious eyes. He pursed his lower lip and did not let go.

Song Xueyang's eyes turned on his face for a moment, "You can talk to the team if you don't want to accept an endorsement. The contract is dead and the person is alive. With me here, no one in the club dares to force you to do what you don't want."

Shen Huai's hand paused. He didn't expect Song Xueyang to guess his last concerns correctly. Since he knew everything, why did he just say it now

As if seeing his doubts, Song Xueyang said helplessly, "I also want to understand this after knowing that you are Cang Yu."

Maple Moon has a huge fan base in the professional team, not only thanks to their unique selection method, but also the package carefully designed by the club for each player. The talents in the operation department of Maple Moon are all professionals dug from the entertainment industry. They know how to create a character to attract fans. Compared with the goal of the entire club, they want to form a star team. Naturally, all kinds of publicity The event is also one of the most of any professional team.

Shen Huai hated these, otherwise he wouldn't want to leave the entertainment industry so much.

After knowing that Shen Huai was Cang Yu, Song Xueyang also guessed his hesitation.

"You haven't signed a contract yet, you can talk about these things. Zhou Ning and Xiaoming are usually the endorsers, and there are me and Xingxing in the live broadcast. It doesn't matter if you don't want to earn that money and refuse. The most important thing for a team is him. Instead of these additional conditions, Maple Moon can be a team with you at its core, and other teams can’t do that.”

Shen Huai was moved, and Song Xueyang's words pierced his deepest desire. Most of the top eight teams have no vacancies. After he joins, he must adjust himself according to the team's original style of play. Although he can make this concession before becoming a professional e-sports player, the core of becoming a team is The dream of every player.

He clenched his hand tightly again, Song Xueyang's voice seemed to tempt him a little bit, "It is my biggest wish in my career to be able to play with you, and Fengyue's lineup next year is from what you said that you plan to play professional TV. From the moment I competed, I was thinking, would you give me a chance to make it happen?"

Shen Huai's heart softened, and he couldn't say a word anymore. He looked down at Song Xueyang holding his hand, and nodded lightly for a long time.

Only then did Song Xueyang withdraw his hand and raise the Coke can with a smile, "Welcome to Fengyue, Shen Huai."

Shen Huai picked up the Coke can, "Captain."

Hearing the captain's voice, Song Xueyang's heart trembled, feeling that even if he were to die now, he would have no regrets.

After the meal was over in a happy atmosphere, Song Xueyang reminded him in a good mood, "Would you like to buy some daily necessities online in advance and send them there?"

Shen Huai thought that it was impossible for him to take everything with him at such a distance, and it would be unrealistic to go to the supermarket there in his capacity, so he picked up his mobile phone and clicked on the shopping website.

Song Xueyang thought that a star like Shen Huai must have a lot of daily necessities very particular, and it would take a while to choose them, but he found that Shen Huai chose very fast, and things were relatively simple. Instead, he had to choose computer peripherals for a long time.

As he confirms the order, he asks, "Mailing address?"

Song Xueyang directly helped him enter it, then asked for the payment to generate a QR code, and took out his mobile phone to pay.

Shen Huai was rushed to pay for the order without noticing, and felt even more embarrassed, but Song Xueyang didn't care, "A gift for you to join the team."

"I've already made shrimp just now."

Song Xueyang smiled and returned the phone to him, "That's a welcome gift, it's a team gift, it's different."

Shen Huai had to accept it, but when he saw the 6-digit payment amount on the order interface, he immediately regretted it, "No, I'll transfer it to you."

"Then I will propose to the manager that you be the team's ambassador."

Shen Huai: "..."

Song Xueyang couldn't help rubbing his head, "Be good, be obedient."

Shen Huai found that Song Xueyang could always use both hard and soft skills at any time, pinpointing his weakness, and his life in Fengyue would probably be dire in the future.

Excuse me, is it too late to regret it now
