The timeline goes back five or six years ago.
Compared with the family members who were secretive or rejected by someone at the time, the girl's parents held an open-minded and tolerant attitude towards their daughter and her daughter's childhood sweetheart participating in e-sports activities.
Of course, at that time, there was no clear definition of professional e-sports in China, or in the public perception, e-sports still only stayed in the category of ordinary computer and online games.
But at that time, the girl's parents didn't think there was anything, but regarded it as a hobby for the children. As long as the children liked it and were not overly addicted, they could support it.
Therefore, in the S1 season of the national service at that time, when someone hula-la brought a vote of partner teammates and encouraged the girl to join the "pirate ship" to participate in various online and offline competitions, the girl's parents also appeared in it. a lot of power.
For example, many times a person's team goes to an Internet cafe for training in order to save money. Usually, they are so poor that they can't eat a full meal. They can only survive on instant noodles. People and several other partners and teammates went out to eat together, and even invited the girl's mother to cook for everyone at home.
Sometimes, if the game is in another city out of town, and the girl's father happens to be going on a business trip, he will help several members of the team buy a bus ticket or air ticket together, and then help to book a hotel.
And then later-
At the opening of the S1 World Finals, in order to show their support for their daughter and the rest of the team, the girl's parents made time for their own passports and visas, and accompanied them to Taiwan and even Europe, while serving as a free agent The logistics side also acted as the support "fans" of the team and came to the scene to help and cheer.
So at that time, the two husbands and wife not only had a close relationship with a group of young guys on the team that they regarded as their children and nephews, but also met with a group of people from the China E-sports Association at that time, and they were familiar with each other. .
At that time, Chu Fangnan, who was a staff member of the European branch of the China Electricity Association, was also one of them.
Therefore, although Zhou Wei did not join the Electric Association until the S2 and S3 seasons, took over from Chu Fangnan and became the head of the office in London, England, and did not know someone or the girl's parents, but at this time Speaking of the name "Chu Fangnan", the girl's mother with a good memory quickly remembered it.
And the middle-aged man who was reminded by his wife also quickly woke up:
"Oh-"
"You're talking about Xiao Chu back then?"
"That's right... At that time in the UK, he also took care of him a lot."
There is no doubt that with Chu Fangnan's way of life and character, basically no one who has dealt with him does not have an excellent impression of him, and the girl's parents are no exception.
It is precisely because of this that the two couples who had seen Zhou Wei still had some doubts and slight guards quickly relaxed after confirming this, but they were still a little confused:
"However, Xiao Chu hasn't seen each other for many years, right?"
"How can it be so sudden... invite someone to visit our Xinxin?"
indeed.
Even if they met face to face and had some simple friendships, but after all, they hadn't seen each other for a few years. It's a bit strange to say that people appear suddenly now...
Mother An suddenly thought of something and looked at her husband: "Could it be Xiao Feng?"
The mention of this name also caused Father An to be stunned for a moment, and subconsciously frowned: "That's not right... That kid shouldn't know about Xinxin's illness - didn't Xinxin tell us to keep him a secret?"
The conversation between the husband and wife made the two listeners next to them a little confused. Although Zhou Wei keenly captured the name information of "Xiaofeng", he still couldn't understand the situation without knowing the truth. He couldn't explain the doubts of the two couples in front of him, he just said:
"Sorry, I was only entrusted by Vice President Chu, and I don't know the situation."
After speaking, he paused, remembered the business, and couldn't help looking at the closed door of the operating room, then turned his head to look at the girl's parents in front of him again, and asked carefully with his words:
"so-"
"Also, how are your two daughters... how are you now?"
Back to the topic.
Dr. Phil couldn't help but look at the "in operation" sign with a red light above the door of the operating room, with worry flashing on his face:
"Looks like... it's not over yet?"
An father and an mother next to him finally got rid of the puzzled emotions temporarily. Listening to the two in front of them asking about their daughter's situation, the faces of the two couples couldn't help but show haggard and powerless expressions again:
"Well, it's been five or six hours since I went in..."
"The last time a nurse came out was two hours ago, and we asked, but the nurse just said that the operation was still in progress, and there was no other way to guarantee—"
With that said, Mother An couldn't help lowering her head and weeping slightly again, and even her calm personality was like Father An, her eyes were red as she watched the closed door of the operating room.
No matter how strong and optimistic parents are...
When her daughter is in emergency surgery and the situation is uncertain, she also shows a weak side.
Because they are powerless.
I can only wait outside the operating room and my daughter on the operating table, waiting anxiously and anxiously for a final result.
Dr. Phil tried his best to comfort him: "Don't worry too much, Dr. Simon, who is in charge of the surgery, is our best expert in St Edinland. Please believe that we will do our best to cure Cassie..."
Then he looked at the two couples who looked tired and haggard, and couldn't help but worry and persuade:
"Furthermore, the two of you have stayed here for the night, so I suggest you go to rest for a while, maybe have lunch, or it will be bad if you are tired."
Yes, from the early morning until now, the girl's parents have hardly closed their eyes even for a moment.
Whether it's mental exhaustion or physical exhaustion... It's obvious that the two have persevered to the limit.
Listening to Dr. Phil's persuasion, Father An also looked at his wife:
"yes."
"Otherwise, you can go back and rest first, and I'll just watch over here."
But Mother An shook her head stubbornly, staring at the door of the operating room, stubbornly and persistently:
"Do not."
"I do not go."
"Don't wait for Xinxin to come out... I'll stay here forever!"
Speaking, thinking of her precious daughter still suffering in the operating room, this elegant middle-aged lady couldn't help but burst into tears. Father An sighed and took his wife into his arms. middle.
Zhou Wei, who was on the side, took this scene into his eyes, and he couldn't help feeling sympathy and sighing in his heart. Then he shook his head and put these aside for a while, and turned to the two couples and Dr. Phil. , then he walked quickly to the corner.
The situation here...
It was thoroughly investigated by him.
So.
Naturally, it was time to report the news to Vice President Chu in the country on the other side of the ocean.
He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, clicked on the message panel, and his eyes stayed on the blank text editing bar for a long time. After a long while, Zhou Wei took a deep breath and started typing on the touch keyboard to edit the text—
"Vice President Chu, I have arrived at St Edinland's Hospital and met the girl's parents here."
"It's heavy and I have to tell you some unfortunate news..."
