On the rooftop of the new residential building in Fulong, a large group of people were sitting there. The ground was filled with snacks and beer was placed in the middle. After eating barbecue, having dinner and singing karaoke since the Spring Festival, it seemed as if everyone was blowing the cold wind on the rooftop and welcoming for the first time the real gathering like when they were children, hiding from their parents, secretly stealing delicious food from home, carefully spreading it out, and everyone gathered together to talk about supernatural events, aliens, and all kinds of strange and interesting things.
But now everyone is obviously more interested because there is someone to be brainwashed right here on the spot.
Yu Xiao was dejected, accepting all kinds of bullying from everyone.
What you are really affectionate, you dare to go to the bar alone. Or what you got a girlfriend by playing games, yeah, you have unlimited potential, Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He raised the bottle of wine in the air and said to Xie Feibai, "How did you know I would go there that day? Do you know anyone there?"
Liu Ying smiled and said, "The last time I went to your school to play, Sun Li from your dormitory added me online and we often chatted, so I knew that you had a girlfriend and what happened afterwards... But who knew you were really going to the party, so I quickly notified Cheng Ran."
Xie Feibai looked over and said, "You are really brave. Even if that Zhao guy wants to have someone stab you, he can still get himself out of it."
Yu Xiao said, "Compared to you? Trash?"
Xie Feibai thought about it and said seriously, "He can't be considered a scumbag... If his father could invite me, it would be a face-saving thing. But he has always been uncomfortable with this and is a person who doesn't like to bow his head. Seeing that I only maintain superficial politeness, of course he doesn't dare to confront me head-on."
Yu Xiao smiled, "That's because of your dad..."
Xie Feibai said, "I don't deny it. I used to think that my father caused me to have difficulty in normal social interaction, but Cheng Ran said it well. If this is your resource, then it's no big deal to use it properly. Don't be ashamed of the resources you have. If your goal is good and you want to do something, then the resources that can help you achieve your goal the fastest are effective. There's nothing wrong with using them properly."
Yang Xia sneered from the side, "He knows the most." After the return to school incident on the day of the No. 10 Middle School incident, she was just like usual when she came out of the studio, but she still didn't talk much to Cheng Ran. But sometimes when they talked about something funny, she couldn't help laughing, and if she met Cheng Ran's eyes when she was laughing, she would immediately hold back and deliberately look away, or just glare at him. But the anger in this clear and beautiful look, the taste can only be experienced by oneself.
Liu Ying and Yao Beibei nodded, "I think it's a good point, it makes sense..."
It's getting harder to lead a team now. The girls' group is no longer as one-sided as before.
"It's so cool just thinking about it... A Mercedes-Benz, a group of people will pick you up..." Yao Beibei said, "If that woman knew about it earlier, she would probably regret it..."
"I understand her. She doesn't have many choices. She's not that kind of person." Yu Xiao said, "Anyway... let's just let it go."
Cheng Ran smiled and patted Yu Xiao on the shoulder. "I heard that you are pretty good at the game. It turns out that you have a natural talent."
Yu Xiao said, "After this incident, I suddenly made a decision. I want to participate in professional e-sports competitions."
Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he understood Yu Xiao. From childhood to adulthood, he was actually a mediocre existence in the eyes of others. His grades were not very good before, and he was a bit crooked. But he had never been praised as "other people's children". He rarely participated in a competition class before, and showed his talent. Unfortunately, there are more talented people than others. After all, he saw the limitations of his ability and could not study as well as others. He had to admit that he had not found the trick in this regard. He liked some people, but whether he wrote clumsy love letters or expressed his love and affection hesitantly, he was always labeled as a friend and a good person. But the game made him feel different. He was cheered by everyone in the Internet cafe, his name was high on the battle network, and he had never achieved the achievement of being at the top of the list. He won the game in the school competition and was cheered by people. He also got a girlfriend who was as beautiful as the department, although the result was not very good.
But the game made him feel the glory and peak of life that he had never experienced before. He felt the sweetness, so he seemed to have received a call and found his direction.
Cheng Ran said, "The threshold for entering professional competitions is still very high. I think there is an Asian League Battle Network in StarCraft? Have you ever played it?"
Yu Xiao nodded, "Of course, I go online often. My current record on Battle.net is 2,000 wins and 600 losses. Of course, my 1v1 win rate is over 90%."
"Then... have you fought against all the masters here? There's a guy named Ma who's pretty good at fighting. Have you ever fought against him?"
Cheng Ran remembered that in his previous life, there was a report about a Chinese StarCraft player, and the first Chinese to win the WCG championship, and he was from Chengdu.
"Are you talking about Ma Yuan? You know him... I want to participate in the StarCraft Eight Schools League held in Chengdu this year. He is probably one of the strongest opponents. He knows me and I know him. We have played against each other on Battle.net. The record is about 6 to 4, he 6 to 4. But he is playing professionally in the capital and has targeted training. I think if I work hard... I can beat him."
Cheng Ran looked at Yu Xiao in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Yu Xiao frowned.
"Sure, you have a future," Cheng Ran patted his shoulder, then raised the bottle and clinked it with his, "Did I say that? When you talk about games and StarCraft, you're like the uncrowned king."
"screw you… "
Under the starry sky, everyone clinked glasses.
"To be honest, I'm sure you can go to the game, and... if you need any help from me in the future, in terms of material resources... I will fully support you." Cheng Ran smiled.
It was only much later that Yu Xiao understood the significance of Cheng Ran’s words that day.
…
When the Spring Festival was almost coming to an end, Cheng Ran had also obtained his visa to the UK. So, in the name of traveling to relax after the holiday, Cheng Ran boarded a plane from Chengdu to London, accompanied by Zhao Qing. After getting off the plane, they each did their own things.
Cheng Ran would ask about it, but Zhao Qing would not bother him.
For Jiang Hongshao, she will be enrolled in the spring semester at University College London, so she will not be able to go home for the Spring Festival this year.
And because it was my first time to celebrate the Spring Festival abroad, it felt a bit new, so the homesickness wasn’t actually that strong.
There will be celebration performances, parades, lion dances, and Peking opera in London. Foreigners will wear the God of Wealth's clothes to look like Santa Claus.
Moreover, on New Year's Eve, the Chinese students in the school organized themselves and bought hot pot base, meat slices, and meatballs. There were also foreign students who were very interested in the Chinese Spring Festival. Everyone made dumplings, ate hot pot, and watched the Spring Festival Gala. It was very lively.
During the break, I talked to family and friends on the phone, and also received a call from Cheng Ran.
Across the ocean, we heard Cheng Ran's greetings and said "Happy New Year!" to each other.
Warmth and peace, yet I also feel a little sad.
Jiang Hongshao had an exam after New Year's Eve, so she really couldn't go back. Besides, it wasn't easy for the big family to spend the Spring Festival back home. She had to take care of her grandfather's daily life, and she couldn't stay there for long. There weren't many happy scenes together. Most of the time, although they were close relatives, they were relatively unfamiliar with each other, and it came from the majesty and caution of her grandfather from top to bottom. So it wasn't difficult to accept spending the Spring Festival away from home.
A person is not lonely.
A person is lonely only when he realizes that he is alone.
Jiang Hongshao finished her morning exams that day. At noon, she took some dry bread and a box of milk as lunch and hurried back to the dormitory. Her hair was flying as she hurried and her nose was red from the cold. Just as she reached the bottom of the dormitory building, her nose stopped.
Cheng Ran, a human courier, was carrying a large bag of food and standing at the entrance of the corridor with the address described by Zhao Qing. He sat there for an unknown period of time. This fool didn't even know how to go into the heated building. He was probably afraid of missing every figure passing by, so he sat on the metal guardrail column in the cold wind for an unknown period of time.
Until Jiang Hongshao, who had been taking exams the whole morning, returned.
The two looked at each other.
Cheng Ran smiled and stood up.
In the wind over there, there is a girl with shoulder-length hair, a red scarf, and a beautiful and slender figure.
There are not so many gods descending to earth in this world.
When I think of someone, I can travel through the barriers of time and space, like a Dongfeng missile flying across the ocean to you.
It is God coming to the world.
A short absence is better than a new marriage.
