That night, Chu Yan had a very long dream. He dreamed that in the summer many years ago, the game "Miracle" started a professional league. He set up the Qingmu team in spite of his friend Zhu Ran's objection—Zhu Ranhe Chu Yan is a buddy who grew up together since childhood, and they were admitted to the university together to major in electronic engineering. They planned to start a company together after graduation, but Chu Yan went to become an e-sports player, which made Zhu Ran very puzzled. Later, the scale of the Miracle League became larger and larger, and the treatment of professional players gradually increased. After watching a few games, Zhu Ran felt that the game had a good development prospect, and gradually understood Chu Yan's thoughts.
During that vacation, Zhu Ran invited Chu Yan to his home as a guest. When Chu Yan came to Zhu’s house in Wuhan, he saw a little guy playing "Miracle" on the computer in the study room. The little guy was very short, wearing sportswear like a A primary school student, with clear and bright eyes, looks tender and very cute. He is teaming up with someone to play a dungeon, and the expression on his little face is very serious. Chu Yan smiled slightly, and without disturbing him, he withdrew from the study and asked, "Who is this child?"
Zhu Ran introduced: "It's my nephew, his name is Zhu Qingyue. He likes the game "Miracle" very much and has been playing it recently." Zhu Ran paused, and gently closed the door of the study, calling Chu Yan sat down in the living room and said, "I invited you here this time for this purpose. This kid Qingyue has no other specialties, but he is very good at playing games. Or let him follow you from now on? You see How about it?"
Chu Yan smiled and said, "How old is your nephew? Why do I look like a primary school student?"
Zhu Ran said: "He looks really small, but he is already fifteen years old."
Chu Yan rubbed his chin: "Fifteen years old is also a minor, let him follow me, are you at ease? Playing games is not as simple as playing online games."
Zhu Ran patted Chu Yan on the shoulder, and said: "We have grown up together since we were young, so of course I am relieved to entrust him to you."
Chu Yan glanced at the study room with the door closed, and asked suspiciously: "Why does your nephew live in your house? Does your uncle have to worry about his future?"
Zhu Ran said in a low voice, "Qingyue is a very poor child. His parents died when he was ten years old, and he only has us relatives in Wuhan. My father took him in and let him live in our house temporarily. His father is my cousin, and I count him as his cousin in terms of seniority, but he is only four years older than him. His parents left him a fortune, which is still kept by the lawyer for the time being. Qingyue is so young, I don’t know how to do business either, so I discussed it with my dad and wanted to find him something to do first, and then return to the Zhu family to inherit the property left by his parents when he grows up and matures.”
Of course, Chu Yan can trust his friend's character, and he also knows that with Zhu Ran's family background, there is no need to calculate that little property with his little nephew, they are sincerely for the better. It's just... After a moment, Chu Yan said, "Is he sure he wants to be an e-sports player? Playing games is different from playing games."
Zhu Ran said: "Qingyue is very obedient, and he is very sensible and obedient. I asked him. He really wants to be an e-sports player. However, he is timid and introverted. If he goes to another team, I am afraid that he will be rejected by others." Bullying, that's why I want to entrust him to you, at least you can take more care of him."
Chu Yan thought carefully for a moment, and then agreed: "Okay, since you can trust him to me, then I will accept him as an apprentice."
Zhu Ran smiled and said, "Then please?"
Chu Yan patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will take him well."
After the two discussed it, Zhu Ran knocked on the door of the study and said, "Qingyue, come here and introduce you to a great god."
Zhu Qingyue immediately walked over obediently, and stood beside Zhu Ran, looking curiously at the handsome strange guy in front of him with a pair of dark eyes.
Zhu Ran said: "This is Chu Yan, the captain of the Qingmu team. He grew up with me and has a strong relationship. Since you want to play games, follow him in the future. He is willing to accept you as an apprentice."
When Zhu Qingyue heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Chu Yan expectantly and asked, "Really? You want to accept me as an apprentice?"
The voice of the boy who had not changed his voice was soft, and his black and clear eyes were like cute little animals. Chu Yan smiled slightly, stood up, and found that the child was only as tall as his chest, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed it. Rubbing Zhu Qingyue's head, said: "Really. Still not called Master?"
Zhu Qingyue hurriedly called out: "Master!"
Zhu Ran said, "Go get Master a cup of tea."
Zhu Qingyue gave a "hmm" and obediently ran to pour tea. Chu Yan sat back on the sofa and saw the little guy busily brewing a cup of Pu'er tea. He held it in front of him respectfully with both hands: "Master, please drink Tea."
Chu Yan smiled and said, "There's no need to be so formal, right?"
Zhu Ran said: "Since I recognize you as a master, I still have to respect this cup of apprenticeship tea. Ayan, let me make it clear to you that Qingyue is the only seedling of my cousin. I entrust him to you. Don't bully him." .”
Chu Yan immediately promised: "Of course, I will take care of such an obedient apprentice."
As he spoke, he took a few sips of apprentice tea from Zhu Qingyue's hand, then put down the teacup and rubbed the little apprentice's head: "Okay, you can follow me from now on. Pack your luggage and meet me in three days." Let's go to Hangzhou together."
…
Three days later, Zhu Qingyue left his hometown and followed his master to the Qingmu team base in Hangzhou.
Due to limited funds, Team Qingmu's conditions are not very good. There is no small apartment-style dormitory like other clubs, but a small suite with two beds, equipped with a toilet and bathroom, similar to traveling. The kind of small hotel I live in. But fortunately, the room was cleaned very well, and it was comfortable to live in.
Chu Yan took the little apprentice to his room and said, "The conditions in the team are not very good at the moment. You can sleep with me in the future, so I can take care of you."
Zhu Qingyue obediently followed behind him, and said seriously: "It's okay, Master, this place is very good."
He is not a pampered child. Although Zhu's family is quite rich, his cousins have never treated him badly, but after all, he is not as comfortable as his own family. Zhu Qingyue has always been very obedient, and he does not choose what to eat or wear for him. , the material requirements are not high. The conditions of the dormitory were indeed a bit rough, but he felt very good, and Zhu Qingyue was quite happy to be able to live with Master.
After packing his luggage, Zhu Qingyue followed his master to the training room.
There were several young people in the training room. Chu Yan roughly introduced the situation of the team members to him, and another young man pulled over to focus on the introduction: "Luo Yuan is also my apprentice, and I will call him senior brother from now on."
Luo Yuan's personality was very cheerful, and he stretched out his hand and said, "You are the junior brother that Master said, you are so young, you are underage?"
Zhu Qingyue's face blushed slightly, and he reached out to shake his hand: "Hi brother, I'm fifteen years old."
Luo Yuan smiled bluntly: "That's still underage!"
Zhu Qingyue lowered his head and dared not speak.
Chu Yan confessed: "Qingyue is indeed young, and everyone usually takes care of him more. I plan to let him stay in the training camp for a while, and make his debut after he is sixteen."
When the captain said this, everyone nodded in understanding. Chu Yan began to arrange training for the team members. He acted resolutely and quickly arranged today's training tasks in less than five minutes. Looking back, he saw the young apprentice looking at him seriously with bright black eyes. Smiling slightly, he brought Zhu Qingyue to sit in front of the computer, and asked softly, "Qingyue, what profession do you want to choose? Do you have any favorite?"
Zhu Qingyue scratched his head and said, "I'm not very good at playing as an attacker, so I can play as a support like Master, can I?"
Chu Yan said: "Of course. You can create an account first, slowly upgrade from the first level, and familiarize yourself with the auxiliary formation skills from the beginning, and then I will teach you skill points and equipment matching."
Zhu Qingyue said seriously: "Well, I got it!"
Throughout the afternoon, Chu Yan accompanied the little apprentice to level up, explaining to him the usage of each skill and the mode of adding points in detail. Chu Yan was indeed a good master, and he taught him very patiently. Zhu Qingyue was very moved, and looked at Chu Yan full of respect and admiration.
When going back to the dormitory to sleep at night, Zhu Qingyue probably couldn't fall asleep under the blanket because he was not used to the new environment.
Chu Yan noticed that the little guy in the next bed was tossing and turning, so he asked, "Qingyue, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Qingyue's soft voice came through the bed: "I can't sleep, it's a little... a little cold..."
It happened to be winter at that time, and it rained for several days in a row in Hangzhou, so the dormitory was indeed a bit damp and cold. Chu Yan was young and energetic, with a lot of anger on his body, and he didn't feel cold. Perhaps Zhu Qingyue was more afraid of the cold? Thinking of this, Chu Yan lifted the blanket and said, "Come and sleep, Master is warm here."
Zhu Qingyue immediately ran over and got under Chu Yan's quilt. He was thin and small, huddled into a ball and looking pitiful.
Chu Yan hugged the little apprentice into his arms and said with a smile, "Are you afraid of the cold?"
Zhu Qingyue whispered in embarrassment: "Hmm..."
Chu Yan said: "Is Master's bed warm?"
Zhu Qingyue blushed even more, nodded: "Yeah."
Chu Yan said: "It's really cold these days, so you can sleep with Master. But... don't wet the bed, do you hear me?"
Zhu Qingyue was taken aback for a moment, realizing that he was laughing at himself for being too naive, his face flushed even more, and he said seriously: "I am fifteen years old, and I have never wet the bed."
Chu Yan rubbed his head: "It looks about the age of an eight-year-old child."
Zhu Qing was more unconvinced: "I will grow taller!"
Chu Yan smiled: "No matter how tall you are, you are not as tall as Master."
"..." Zhu Qingyue had no choice but to stop talking, and lowered his head sullenly. Chu Yan patted the little apprentice on the back with a smile and said, "Master is joking with you, go to sleep."
After a while, the little guy in his arms fell asleep breathing evenly, as if he was looking for a heat source, he hugged Chu Yan's waist actively, buried his head in Chu Yan's chest, and slept very soundly. Chu Yan was really helpless in his heart - this apprentice is timid, afraid of the cold, and looks like a child, how can such a player get along in the e-sports circle
Promising Zhu Ran to take this little guy, I am really a master and a father at the same time!
…
Fortunately, although Zhu Qingyue is timid, he is indeed very talented in playing games, and he is a quick learner. It only took a few months to learn all the auxiliary methods.
During that Spring Festival, Team Qingmu gave the team members a week off. Chu Yan took Zhu Qingyue back to Wuhan to celebrate the New Year at Zhu's house.
Seeing that Zhu Qingyue was following Chu Yan full of dependence, Zhu Ran couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that the relationship between your master and apprentice is not bad?"
Zhu Qingyue said: "Well, Master is very kind to me."
Chu Yan said: "Little Zhu is indeed very talented and can learn things very quickly, but he is too young to go directly to the field at the moment. Let's watch after a while."
Zhu Ran said bluntly: "This is not urgent, as long as he follows you to study hard, I will be relieved."
After everyone had a good year together, Chu Yan returned to the team with his apprentice.
After the Spring Festival, the third season is about to start. The support player who partnered with Chu Yan went home to get married. Chu Yan originally planned to let his big apprentice Luo Yuan take the place. There was an accident, and the mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and had to be hospitalized. When Luo Yuan told him that he decided to go home to take care of his mother, Chu Yan really had a headache, but he couldn't force Luo Yuan to stay, so he had to let the big apprentice go back to fulfill his filial piety.
For several days, Chu Yan's complexion was not very good. Zhu Qingyue noticed this, and asked cautiously: "Master... Brother is gone, is it because there is no one in the team to replace him?"
Chu Yan looked at the ignorant little apprentice, and suddenly had a plan: "Qingyue, otherwise, you make your debut early, and go to the competition with Master this season."
Zhu Qingyue looked shocked: "Me? I haven't learned all that Master taught me."
Chu Yan patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, there is a master covering you. You won't learn much by staying in the training camp. Why don't you go to the competition and gain more practical experience."
As a result, the little apprentice Zhu Qingyue, who was less than sixteen years old, was kicked out by Chu Yan and became the main player of the Qingmu team.
Qing Mu's tactics are very biased, and Zhu Qingyue really has no competition experience, and he has been abused by the masters on the field so that he has no idea what he should do.
Once, Qing Mu met the cat god Li Cangyu's team in the regular season. Li Cangyu was not polite to the newcomers, and rushed to the back row to kill Zhu Qingyue in seconds. Zhu Qingyue resurrected in a daze and rushed to the team In the battle circle, he was instantly killed by Li Cangyu's combo...
After being killed three times in a row in one game, and instantly killed without any resistance, Zhu Qingyue's confidence collapsed, and he hid in the background and secretly shed tears.
A reporter passing by took this picture and spread it on the Internet. They ridiculed the crying children of the Qingmu team who lost the game and nicknamed them "Little Crying Bag". Seeing those negative comments, Zhu Qingyue felt even worse I was sad, and always felt that I was holding back Master.
His face really looked like a child who hadn't grown up, and his crying made everyone even more amused—how could there be such a crying kid in the e-sports circle
When the gods saw him, they always joked: "Did Xiao Zhu bring a tissue?" "Xiao Zhu, don't cry, I won't kill you later!"
Zhu Qingyue hid behind his master in panic, like an innocent little white rabbit who accidentally broke into a forest surrounded by wild beasts.
Chu Yan felt that going on like this was not an option, so he called Zhu Qingyue to talk after returning home: "Qingyue, you are still young and your psychological endurance is relatively fragile, I can understand that. But you can't go on like this forever, crying won't solve the problem Remember, even if we lose, we have to stand upright, hold our chests up and lose, don't be looked down upon by others! If you hide and cry, it will only make people laugh!"
Sensing that Master was very angry, Zhu Qingyue blushed and whispered: "I'm sorry, Master, I didn't expect to be photographed by reporters, I..."
Seeing his red-eyed expression on the verge of crying again, Chu Yan sighed softly, stood up and rubbed the little apprentice's head, and said softly, "I don't blame you. I promised your uncle to take good care of you, but I can't protect you all the time and let you cry behind me, it will only hurt you. Qingyue, you will be sixteen soon, and it's time to grow up. From next season, I will put Qing Mu's captain will be handed over to you, you stand up to me and stand in front of the reporter boldly."
Zhu Qingyue was terrified, and his small face suddenly turned pale: "Team, captain?"
Chu Yan's attitude was very firm: "Yes, you will be Qing Mu's captain. Of course, I will still be in charge of tactics and command, but in name, you are the captain, and you will face the reporters in person for post-match interviews. "
Zhu Qingyue: "..."
Be the captain? He was completely clueless, and he didn't dare to take over the burden of captain.
But the master's words could not be refused. In the end, under pressure, Zhu Qingyue bit the bullet and took over Qing Mu's captain.
In the third season, Zhu Qingyue struggled through all kinds of negative comments. At the beginning of the fourth season, he was pushed to the captain's position by Chu Yan. He had to follow Chu Yan to participate in various league meetings. A highly popular player of the major teams; after each game, he would stand in front of the reporters to accept the bombardment of the reporters, and he no longer dared to shed tears. In the past, he was just a rookie, shedding tears secretly. Others could say that his psychological endurance is too fragile, but now, he is the captain of Qingmu. Once he does not perform well, the entire Qingmu team will become the laughing stock of the entire league!
Zhu Qingyue gritted his teeth to make himself stronger.
Gradually, he learned to keep a smile in front of the reporters, and also learned to face every failure calmly.
Zhu Qingyue grew up and matured at an astonishing speed, and everyone in the alliance admired Chu Yan's special way of leading apprentices—there is no way for apprentices to become captains directly! Chu Yan is also bold enough!
Zhu Ran once came to watch a game and saw that the timid child in his memory suddenly turned into a smiling, slender and gentle boy. Zhu Ran almost didn't dare to recognize him until Zhu Qingyue smiled and called him: "Little boy!" uncle."
"..." Zhu Ran was stunned for a long time, and found that this young man was indeed his little nephew Zhu Qingyue. He couldn't help looking at Chu Yan in shock, and said, "It's really Qingyue? It's like being completely reborn!"
Chu Yan said: "You used to protect him too much. You see, now Qingyue is not timid at all, and he hasn't cried for a long time, right?"
Thinking of the black history, Zhu Qingyue blushed slightly, and said, "Master taught me well."
"It was really right to entrust Qingyue to you." Zhu Ran patted Chu Yan's shoulder gratefully, "Thank you brother."
Chu Yan smiled slightly and said, "Why are you being polite, I am his master, shouldn't I raise him?"
***
Originally, if the two continued to maintain the master-student relationship, it would be a beautiful thing.
But as Zhu Qingyue grew up, the voice of the young man who had passed the voice-changing period became clearer and more pleasant. After his facial features were developed and his body was raised, he had a well-proportioned figure with long legs and narrow waist, a soft and beautiful facial contour, and He likes to wear white trousers and a blue shirt very much. He dresses cleanly and refreshingly. He exudes a special gentle and elegant temperament, which is unforgettable.
Chu Yan found himself getting more and more wrong. In the past, the master and apprentice slept in the same room, even if Zhu Qingyue crawled into his bed to keep warm, he could hold Xiao Qingyue and sleep until dawn without distracting thoughts. But now, he couldn't stand just looking at Zhu Qingyue's appearance after taking a bath! The young man had a faint smile on his face, his slender legs were dangling in front of his eyes, and his hair was still dripping with water. Chu Yan couldn't control his distraction at all, and wished he could take off all his pajamas and put them on the bed. He pressed down on the bed and loved him fiercely.
In the dream at night, he used various postures to overwhelm Zhu Qingyue, and viciously invaded Zhu Qingyue's fair and green body, making Zhu Qingyue cry and beg for mercy.
This kind of thought grows crazily like weeds in his heart, but Zhu Qingyue is completely unaware of it, and still looks at Master with that kind of admiration. For the next tactical arrangement, Chu Yan felt an extremely strong sense of guilt.
—He respects and trusts you as a master, but what is going on in your mind? !
—Besides, he is your best friend's nephew!
——Zhu Ran entrusted him to you to take care of him, but he didn't make you think that he was inferior to a beast!
Chu Yan hated himself for being like this, but once such evil thoughts grew in his heart, it was difficult to suppress them. Sometimes even just seeing Zhu Qingyue would make him feel restless, seeing Zhu Qingyue talking to a beautiful girl, Chu Yan was so jealous that he almost went crazy.
He clearly knew that Zhu Qingyue only respected him for his master and didn't have any distracting thoughts.
Zhu Qingyue likes girls, and the Zhu family is still waiting for Qingyue to return to inherit the family business after he retires. As a master, what face does he have to bring his apprentice into the quagmire
It happened that it was time for Chu Yan to retire, so he decided to let go completely.
The results of the Qingmu team were not very good. For the sake of Zhu Qingyue's future, Chu Yan suggested that he transfer to another team, but Zhu Qingyue was very stubborn. He believed that the Qingmu team was the hard work of his master. Even if the master retired, he would Keep it up - what a captain? Responsibility, commitment, and gratitude.
Today's Zhu Qingyue is no longer the little crybag who needed his care, and he can leave this apprentice with peace of mind to deal with his demons.
Qingmu's team members were very reluctant to let Chu Yan retire, and Zhu Qingyue was especially reluctant to part with his master. He toasted his master with a lot of wine, and instead of getting his master drunk, he got himself drunk.
Chu Yan drank a lot, even after drinking a lot, he still remained sober. He picked up Zhu Qingyue, who was drunk and unconscious, and sent him back to the dormitory. Looking at the young man lying on the bed with flushed cheeks, Chu Yan finally couldn't help himself and kissed his forehead gently.
"...I'm sorry, Qingyue." Chu Yan's voice trembled slightly, "Master is leaving, I'm afraid that if I see you again, I won't be able to control my desire to kiss you and hug you... Let time dilute everything."
He gently stroked Zhu Qingyue's soft hair, and the fragments of getting along with each other in the past few years repeatedly appeared in his mind.
The process of Little Crying Bag growing up little by little has already been clearly engraved in his mind. Will time dilute all this? Chu Yan didn't know, but all he could do was let go.
He grew up with Qingyue and trained Zhu Qingyue to be an excellent captain... But he can no longer interfere with Zhu Qingyue's future.
Zhu Qingyue should have a better future.
Letting go is a difficult thing. At that moment, Chu Yan realized what it means to be heartbroken. He packed his luggage and left the dormitory step by step, feeling as if his heart was bleeding.
There is a very important person who will be taken away from his life, just like the flesh and blood are being peeled off abruptly...
Chu Yan stopped at the door, took one last look at Zhu Qingyue who was sleeping soundly on the bed, took a deep breath, turned and exited the room.
