During the entire night of winning the summer finals, Zhou Tian was in an indescribable trance.
It's not that I failed to recover from the intense game, but after the end of this summer game, looking back at my entire summer, I felt a great sense of unreality.
Of course she knew that she would embark on a career path, after all, YYG had approached her a long time ago, and even after talking with YYG, there was even a wealthy family like TSD interested in her. At the same time, she is also extremely confident in her talent, but even so, she never thought that she would be able to go so far in the first season of her debut.
This directly led to her muddling through a series of public events after the game, until the host announced that the FMVP of the summer finals would be awarded.
The award presenter was a high-level executive from Riot Games. He first spoke a long section of English that most people could not understand—he spoke too fast.
At the end of the talk, he finally announced the winner of the FMVP trophy. The moment the name came out of his mouth, the whole venue burst into applause.
"Further!"
The data of Xie Yi in this round of the game popped up on the big screen in a timely manner, with an average output of 34%, an average economy lead of 3500+, and the most shocking average of 9.5 kills per game. I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I see it.
Zhou Huang watched him accept the trophy presented by the guests, and applauded more enthusiastically than the audience.
After that, the five of them stood at the top of the turbulent crowd, and together they won the summer championship trophy.
The host team gave them enough time to celebrate happily, and the post-match interviews began after everyone held the trophy and left images on the big screen.
As with any previous interview, the hosts congratulated them on their victory before asking the first question.
"Today's Bo5 can be said to be very tortuous, but no matter what, now YYG has been confirmed as the No. 1 seed in this S match. I don't know how everyone is feeling now?"
The microphone was in the hands of Ying Yuanxia, and he replied directly: "Of course I am very happy, after all, this is our first time to win the championship."
The host asked again: "Will there be any celebrations in the team that night?"
"This..." He tilted his head to look at Xie Yi, "It should be the old rules, let's go out for a meal, Brother Xie treats you."
"Is it because Further won the FMVP?"
"No, brother Xie has always been in charge of entertaining guests, no matter whether he wins or loses the game." Ying Yuanxia paused, "He is a good captain."
The audience shouted again, maybe excited or jealous.
"The next question is about our jungler Yuzhou. Yuzhou's performance tonight is also very impressive, especially in the last move. The anti-jungle and team start are almost perfect." The host said, looking at Zhou Huang, "So is Yuzhou still satisfied with his first finals?"
Zhou Huang took the microphone from his teammates and said, "I am satisfied with the result, but I am not satisfied with being chased twice."
"Wow!"
"Mom!"
"Depend on!"
The enthusiasm of the final venue was once again completely ignited.
But Zhou Huang just said indifferently: "The main reason is that I am inexperienced, and the third and fourth rounds have been tricked, otherwise I should not have hit the fifth round."
The host was shocked: "It seems that Yuzhou has very high demands on himself."
Zhou Huang didn't nod or shake her head, but her expression at the moment said it all.
Her post-match interview was also quickly intercepted by major e-sports self-media and posted on Weibo and forums separately, accompanied by praise words full of emotion.
Among them, she was most satisfied with a self-media with not too much traffic, saying that she was the guiding compass of YYG's once disappointing "Galaxy Battleship".
[During the Spring Split, we could see that each of the components of this "Galaxy Battleship" possessed superb personal abilities. For the champion and runner-up, that is to lead the economy in the first 15 minutes.
…
At that time, YYG had a lot of skills, but they had nowhere to use them. They could create an advantage for themselves to win the game in the fastest time, but they couldn't end the game smoothly after creating an advantage. In the summer split, they were finally no longer confused. The addition of the new jungler Yuzhou made them look like a new life. Needless to say, everyone must be able to recall the key team battle that YYG won in the summer.
…
During the season, many people still had doubts about this female player, but now she has proved with her actions that for YYG, she is the most indispensable one!]
"The most indispensable thing is to pass." On the way back to the base in the car, she was very happy at the touting work that everyone asked her to read, but she was a little embarrassed at the end of the reading, "I just tried to keep up with everyone. .”
"You're still humble." Wang Ren laughed loudly, "Who is the person who said harsh words in the pre-match video?"
"... It's different!" Zhou Tian glared at him.
"Okay, okay, don't laugh at Xiao Zhou." The coach turned back to rescue her in time, "Didn't it mean to eat, have you figured out where to go, or go back to the base first? If you don't think about it, why not—"
"—I've made a reservation." Suddenly, Xie Yi, who was sitting in the front row, said, "Go straight."
"Damn, Brother Xie, you move so fast!" A group of people in the back row were shocked.
"What are you eating?" Some people pay more attention to what the big meal is for a while.
Xie Yi finally turned around and said that he would not treat you badly anyway.
"Hey, that's for sure, brother Xie has always been generous."
"Long live Brother Xie!"
"I love Brother Xie!"
Obviously, the excitement of winning the finals is still lingering throughout the team, otherwise the rest of the team would not dare to be so presumptuous.
Zhou Huang was not in the ranks of presumptuousness, but she couldn't help but echoed the crazy words of her teammates in her heart, and then blushed unconsciously.
…
As in the past, Xie Yi chose a place for dinner with one word—expensive.
And this time he invited at least ten more people than during the regular season. Such a big customer can naturally get the warmest hospitality from the merchant.
Halfway through the meal, I don't know who brought it up first. Anyway, there will be no competition for more than a month, so it's okay to drink a little wine.
Lin Lin also agreed, but still told him not to overdose.
"You must know better than me what the consequences of drinking too much alcohol are for professional players."
"Clear, clear, don't worry, Brother Lin."
"Yes, the S game hasn't been played yet, how could we make fun of our bodies."
"Guaranteed to be counted!"
Zhou Tian was also eager to try it, wanted to taste it, but just as he picked up the cup, Wang Ren stopped him by saying that you are not yet an adult.
"Minors should not drink alcohol." Wang Ren said solemnly, "Drink juice, be good."
Zhou Huang: "... Minors are not allowed to enter Internet cafes yet, and they still have to go in for training if they go to other places to play games."
Wang Ren: "Which one is this?"
"It's different!" Zhou Tian actually didn't want to be excluded by them, "I'll just drink a little..."
"That… "
"Let her have a sip." To her surprise, Xie Yi stood by her side and helped her speak, "Just one sip."
Wang Ren: "Okay, then take a sip and pour it into the apple juice for you, so as not to rush it."
Zhou Huang accepted it as soon as he saw it, and nodded obediently, without asking for more.
After that, everyone in the box toasted together, and she also picked up her glass of wine mixed with more than half of the apple juice and collided with the glasses in the hands of the people around her.
The taste she had never tasted entered her throat, and there was an indescribable pain, which made her subconsciously frown.
The teammates who had been paying attention to her reaction laughed and said, "Look, I tell you not to drink, children not to drink."
Zhou Huang: "I'm not young anymore, I even brought you to the championship!"
"Okay, then does our champion hero think the wine is delicious?" Lin Lin also smiled and looked at the little girl he signed back with his own hands.
"... not good." She answered her feelings honestly.
Everyone laughed again.
She curled her lips and took another sip.
Strange to say, the second bite into the throat, the bitterness that could not be suppressed by the apple juice before seems to be less heavy. She swallowed, and found that everyone was no longer staring at her, so she gritted her teeth boldly.
Eventually the meal ate into the wee hours again.
When everyone walked out of the restaurant one after another, she was a little dazed, and she always felt that this scene seemed to have been experienced before.
And when she tried to follow the end of the line onto the bus but was pulled from behind, she finally remembered.
It is indeed experienced.
"Don't go up." The person holding her stood under the moonlight, his team uniform jacket was blown up by the wind, but his posture was straight, "The smell of alcohol is so strong, you should get motion sickness again."
"Yes..." She nodded dizzily, compared to the picture in her memory, her eyes suddenly lit up, "But I also drank today!"
Xie Yi suddenly laughed, saying that wouldn't it be easier to feel uncomfortable
Zhou Tian: "Will you?"
Although she is often a little silly off the court, it is abnormal to react so slowly.
So Xie Yi also reacted, he rubbed his temples helplessly, and said that he shouldn't even give you a sip of wine.
Zhou Tian was not very happy when he heard this sentence: "Don't exclude me..."
This soft tone was something Xie Yi had never heard before, so that the moment he heard it, he froze there.
Finally, it was the bus driver who brought him back to his senses. The driver asked him if he was still on the bus.
"No." When the night wind blew, he denied it loudly, "She won't go up either, you guys go back first."
It's not surprising that the driver still has an impression of Zhou Tian's motion sickness last time, so he just said that you should be careful when you walk back.
Xie Yi: "Yeah." Of course I will be careful.
The next moment, the car carrying the rest of the people sped away.
Zhou Huang stood where he was, his mind still a little fuzzy: "Che..."
Xie Yi: "The car is gone."
"Oh." She seemed a little regretful, but also a little happy, "Then why don't you go?"
"I'll go with you."
When the voice fell to the ground, Zhou Tian moved half a step away and said, "No, I won't be with you..."
Xie Yi: "Why?"
In fact, he knew the answer more or less, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't restrain himself at all, and let them come out, he just wanted to hear her say it again.
But she didn't say it.
She just stood there, blowing her head silently, dejected all over her body.
Xie Yi didn't like to see her depressed the most, so he could only take half a step forward and said, "The finals are over."
Zhou Tian still didn't speak.
"Zhou Tian." This was probably the first time he called her by her full name instead of the ID in the game. "You don't need to keep avoiding me and stop communicating with me in private."
What a long sentence. At this time, Zhou Tian's brain was crashed, and she actually couldn't handle such a long sentence, but she could vaguely realize that the person in front of her was a little abnormal.
She finally raised her head and looked at him by the moonlight.
Xie Yi was also looking at her, and the moment their eyes met, he heard his own heartbeat.
"Let's go." After a while, he spoke again, "It's very late."
She blinked silently.
Xie Yi hesitated a little, maybe he hesitated for a long time, or maybe it was only a few seconds, but in the end he overcame the hesitation, grabbed her hand directly, and began to pull her away.
The two walked forward along the street lights, and the shadows fell behind them, for a long time and a short time.
After changing alternately for a whole street, Zhou Huang suddenly shivered.
The slight drowsiness caused by the alcohol finally dissipated, and she woke up.
She saw the person holding her, and also saw their overlapping hands.
Suddenly, she heard a bang in her head.
