Ten minutes later, Li Shiyi and Xiao Er were already sitting in the carriages of Metro Line 2.
Saying "sit" is an inappropriate term.
Because this is also the peak period of the evening, although today is the weekend, the subway at this moment is still full of passengers and the inside of the carriage is extremely crowded. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to find a corner of the carriage, holding the railing handle above their heads to maintain their balance.
"It's... five twenty."
He lowered his head and took out his mobile phone to check the time, Xiao Er quickly calculated in his mind, and then relieved:
"Three or four minutes, one stop, six or seven stops in total, it should be in time!"
Li Shiyi on the side also showed a bit of happiness on his face, although it was not a good feeling to squeeze the subway like this, and the treatment of the other team members of the first team and second team of his own team and club was different from the treatment of the club's special car to the destination. It's far away, but as the team's backup, there is nothing to complain and ask for.
Anyway, as long as you can arrive at Shanyue Internet Cafe on time to participate in the event, and you can receive a red envelope at that time, it is enough to celebrate with joy.
As if thinking of something, Li Shiyi looked at his companion roommate in front of him:
"Little Er, I remember that you are also a native of Shanghai?"
"In terms of family background...isn't it good?"
When asked this kind of personal sex question, Li Shiyi was also a little cautious.
Xiao Er nodded and admitted without hesitation: "Yes, my mother is an associate professor at the university, and my father is a businessman. It's not very rich, but it's enough to live on anyway."
To be frank and generous without any concealment.
Li Shiyi nodded when he heard it, hesitated for a while, and then still couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart:
"Then it stands to reason that you shouldn't be short of money. Why are you so concerned about the business cooperation activities of our club and the red envelopes?"
"If it's just a few hundred dollars, it's not a big deal for you, right?"
Such doubts have long been in Li Shiyi's heart, and since the roommate in front of him is a native of Modu, he can usually go home and live there, so he doesn't need to squeeze with him and the substitutes of other clubs. Living in a shabby dormitory
The little two laughed when he heard:
"Hey, this is Brother Li, you don't know something."
"Actually, it's because my family is strictly controlled. Originally, my parents wanted me to finish high school and go to university step by step, find a promising major and continue my studies. After that, I would get a decent job."
"But I'm not happy with this kind of arranged life."
"I just want to play e-sports and be a professional player!"
"Then I told my parents and mother about this idea. Ouch, I was angry with them at the time. When I came up, I scolded me like a dog, and then I tried to persuade me with all kinds of hard words, but I couldn't resist my decision. , they can't do anything about it, just let me say that I want to play a career, but from then on, my source of income will be cut off. Everything can only rely on myself. If I can make it, then let me continue. Go back honestly and listen to their arrangements to live your life."
"so-"
Xiao Er threw his hands at Li Shiyi:
"I'm completely on my own now."
"This one-time red envelope is a few hundred dollars. Of course, it wasn't enough for my pocket money for a week before, but now it's a big amount for me - oh, I've already figured out how to use this money. I haven't had a good meal for half a month, and it's really uncomfortable to eat these rough meals in the club... After I get the red envelopes, I'll find a Haidilao home to have a good meal tonight and treat myself!"
Seeing Xiao Er's glittering eyes and a longing look on his face, Li Shiyi's eyes became a little complicated, and he asked in a low voice:
"Is it… worth it?"
"Ah?" Little Er was stunned for a moment, then answered without thinking, "Of course it's worth it!"
After speaking, he came to the spirit again:
"I want to make a breakthrough in the professional e-sports circle, and now I pay a small price for my dream. If I can't even accept this kind of thing, it's too bad, right?"
"That is to say, I have to suffer a little bit now. When I become the top professional god in the national uniform, I will be majestic! When I look back on my parents, they will have to be convinced!"
Seeing his roommate and companion in front of him with a bright expression on his face, Li Shiyi lowered his head, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Such zeal...
Looking forward to dreams and future...
then.
He has too.
Even in the more difficult environment of the year, he and his closest partners and teammates were able to grit their teeth and persist in working hard, and they were willing to give everything for the goal and dream in their hearts without complaint.
But now-
Everything is different.
Now he has no qualifications or ability to talk about any dreams. He stays in the circle as a substitute player in this Alpine team's club, and he is as numb as a corpse every day. , for the cruel and realistic life and survival.
"Speaking of which, aren't you the same way, Brother Li?"
Xiao Er suddenly looked at Li Shiyi, and such a sentence came out of his mouth.
Li Shiyi was stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile:
"I'm not like you."
"I'm satisfied now that I can make a living - I work hard to earn some money for my sister to study, what else can I expect."
But Xiao Er kept shaking his head when he heard it:
"No, no, no!"
After a pause, his eyes fell on Li Shiyi, and Xiao Eryi changed his previous hippie smile and became a little more serious:
"Brother Li, if you really have no dreams and no pursuit of e-sports, then why do you need to stay in a place like the Magic Capital? Consumption is high and there is a lot of pressure to survive, so you can't save much money at all, but now you don't Or continue to stick to the club?"
"If you really want to eat and wait to die, then why do you secretly take time to go to the training room every day to play ranked?"
"It's a complete waste of time, isn't it?"
Word by word.
Every word seems to point directly to the heart.
Li Shiyi was speechless.
Yes.
If he is really disheartened, then just take his sister back to his hometown. There is no need to endure hardships in a metropolis like the Devil's Capital, and there is no need to be so cold-hearted in the club. .
Maybe it's for my sister to have a better learning environment
But ask yourself, is this really the only reason why he still remains in the magic capital and in the e-sports circle
Li Shiyi's heart trembled slightly at this moment.
Or…
In fact, deep down in his heart, in fact, he still has that kind of unwillingness to exist.
Not reconciled.
Not willing to be so mediocre.
Unwilling to struggle in the e-sports circle for so many years, but finally can only choose to leave as a loser.
I am not reconciled to the glorious history created by myself and several partners and teammates, which can only be slowly dissipated with the passage of time and no one will remember it.
(yes-)
Li Shiyi took a deep breath and raised his head:
(There will still be such and such unwillingness and reluctance, or is it because in the bottom of his heart he always retains the most meager hope, that he will always stay here year after year, looking forward to a miracle. Appear.)
but…
is that useful
The bitterness on his face became stronger, Li Shiyi shook his head and said with a low laugh:
"Even if you still have dreams and pursuits, what can you do?"
"Now I'm worthy of talking about these things. The so-called e-sports dream... has long been an unattainable luxury."
Xiao Er hesitated and wanted to persuade again, but at this time, Li Shiyi had no intention of continuing the topic. The subway slowly slowed down and stopped at the platform. Li Shiyi raised his head and looked out the door, then turned to face the Xiao Er smiled and said:
"Okay, don't talk about that."
"We're here, let's go."
