Tian Tian has always had such a character, even if he is sitting together eating and chatting with the two closest friends and teammates in the past, he will still feel ashamed and embarrassed for the compliments that fall on him.
I just didn't expect that the modest and polite words were just said, and they were directly refuted by Mu Qiu on the side.
Even the tone is so serious and serious.
No joke at all.
So Li Shiyi and Tian Tian were both slightly stunned, and subconsciously raised their heads to look at the former auxiliary companion in front of them, looking at the almost sure look on the other's face, savoring the undisguised pride in that tone, The two finally woke up...
Yes.
This is actually not about personal humility or not.
It's a fact that can't be more certain -
Because at that time, the decisive team represented by the five of them, Battle, did indeed stand at the top of the pyramid of the world's professional e-sports circle.
Sweeping Europe and the United States.
Climb to the top of the finals stage.
At that time, the brilliance of the five of them could not be concealed even by the top European and American teams. Looking up, only one South Korean SSK team could stand a chance.
so.
There is really no need for humility.
Because they were really proud back then.
And the "decisive victory-Battle" they represented back then also symbolized the top brilliance of the entire national service and cannot be erased.
In the past, they were only one step short of reaching the top, but even if they were one step short, they were still legends. The five positions in the team and every member in each position also represented the world e-sports at that time. The highest level in the circle range—
Anyone who comes out alone is enough to be at the level of today's All-Star.
They have shared weal and woe.
side by side.
No matter who it is, it is not tolerated to be despised, because despising any one of them is provoking the entire "Battle".
In those days, no one dared to provoke the decisive victory-Battle.
"Now-"
"It should be the same."
Mu Qiu looked at the two teammates in front of him and said this.
Tian Tian couldn't help scratching his head, feeling a little ashamed and embarrassed: "That's right... But I probably can't change this habit - I always feel like I'm almost mean..."
Li Shiyi looked at Mu Qiu and laughed:
"However, Aqiu, you are still the same as you were back then."
Yes.
Everyone's temperament seems to have not changed since then.
Tian Tian was like this back then. He looked a little nervous and unconfident at all times, while Li Shiyi and Zhou Mo were more calm and rational styles.
Among them, Mu Qiu and Tian Tian had the most diametrically opposed personalities.
More than full of self-confidence.
Even for outsiders, there is a bit of a fierce to aggressive offensive aura.
Hearing his old friend's comment, Mu Qiu just shrugged:
"I'm used to it, I can't change it."
Li Shi nodded and looked at Mu Qiu with relief and nostalgia:
"Do not change."
"That's it, it's fine."
…
It's really been a long time since we've seen each other. There are too many words between the three of them to talk about, and too many old things to talk about.
In fact, for the three of them, it is very gratifying to see each other that the other party still maintains the same mental state as in the past, and has not been affected by the twists and turns in life and forced to make changes. .
Each other has not changed.
Friendship has not changed.
Even if it was the first time after many years that they were sitting together again, they could still talk, laugh, and joke in a familiar and natural way.
This will make people's mood unstoppably light and happy, and temporarily forget some other heavy things.
The topic returned to Xiamen City again. Speaking of the barbecue stall in front of Lecheng Internet Cafe, Mu Qiu smiled at Li Shiyi and Tian Tian and said that it would be a pity not to go there once, because they missed too much food.
Li Shiyi smiled and said that if there is a chance, he must go there to see and see.
And probably because the relaxed atmosphere eased Tian Tian's nervousness at first, so he didn't think too much when he spoke at this time, and subconsciously blurted out a sentence:
"We also heard Fuko talk about it."
"It seems that the barbecue stall really tastes good, and the owner is also very good-"
Just this sentence.
The moment he exited, the eyelids of Li Shiyi, who was sitting beside Tian Tian, suddenly jumped.
And the smile on Mu Qiu's face also paused slightly at this moment, and then subsided.
The atmosphere is quiet at this moment.
Tian Tian also finally came to his senses, realized the gaffe he had just made, and couldn't help but feel at a loss:
"That... I... "
Yes.
Such a dinner party where old friends reunite, if you don't mention some topics that you deliberately avoid, you should have passed by in a relaxed atmosphere, but once you mention... About other things that used to be more than warm and pleasant, it will inevitably be was brought to the table at the moment.
Mu Qiu's eyes drooped slightly.
Li Shiyi cast a reproachful look at Tian Tian next to him, some words should not have been said at this time.
Tian Tian himself felt guilty and annoyed so much that he could not wait to find a hole to burrow into.
Fortunately, just a moment later, Mu Qiu raised his head again, with a smile on his face again:
"Anyway—"
"There is a chance for the two of you to come to Xiamen City and experience it for yourself."
"Guarantee that you are not in vain."
The topic was turned off again as if it was light and nonchalant, a little deliberate, but the other two people at the table were amnesty and immediately went down the steps:
"Good! Definitely!"
"Wait for a while, make an appointment, and go!"
It seems that the three of them are deliberately avoiding certain topics that they are temporarily unwilling to mention.
So the atmosphere at the table returned to a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
…
A lunch, almost an hour to eat.
In the end, the dishes on the table were basically cleaned up, and when Li Shiyi and Tian Tian had not even had time to exchange glances to determine their next move, Mu Qiu had already said abruptly:
"If you have anything else to say, just say it."
"Our relationship doesn't need to be secretive."
Li Shiyi and Tian Tian were stunned and looked at Mu Qiu.
The latter looked calm and indifferent.
Yes.
In the past hour, the reason why I deliberately avoided it was not that I was unwilling to face it, but I just hoped that at this rare dinner meeting after a long-awaited reunion, I could simply reminisce about the past without considering anything else.
But what should be said must be said, and what must be faced must be faced.
Now.
Just at this time.
Li Shiyi and Tian Tian looked at each other again, and finally made up their minds. Li Shiyi looked at Mu Qiu and took the lead in speaking slowly:
"It must only be like this now."
From the time he came to the restaurant to now, Mu Qiu's face showed a faint mocking smile for the first time:
"otherwise?"
"What other way can there be?"
