The players of the Luo Huaci team had not seen Team Ye come back until the dinner time at 6 o'clock that night. Unlike the usual smile, Ye Chenxi's face was very gloomy. After returning, he went directly to his room, in the lobby. The team members who saw Luo Huaci just nodded as a greeting.
The people who were eating suddenly looked at each other in dismay. The captain suddenly rushed out from the siege of reporters and disappeared for the whole afternoon. Everyone was very curious about what he was doing. However, looking at his ugly face, everyone did not dare to ask. Able to look at each other silently, and continue to bow down to solve the dinner.
Lin Yufan is most familiar with Ye Chenxi. He is so abnormal today, and Lin Yufan has an intuition that it must be related to the mysterious Silan master. After eating, Lin Yufan asked the waiter to pack a dinner and take it back to the room for Ye Chenxi. During the team's competition in other places, the league's unified accommodation standard is a double room in a five-star hotel. In order to discuss various tactics, most of the team's captains and vice-captains live in the same room.
When Lin Yufan returned to the room, Ye Chenxi was taking a shower, and there was a sound of rushing water in the bathroom.
Lin Yufan knocked on the door: "Captain, have you had dinner? I brought you something to eat."
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped for a while, and then Ye Chenxi's low voice came: "Thank you, put it on the table first."
Lin Yufan put the packed dinner on the table, went back to his bed, took a tablet and came out to play games. After a while, Ye Chenxi came out of the shower, sat at the table and opened Lin Yufan's The boxed lunch, the head ate without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward, so Lin Yufan could only focus on playing games.
After Ye Chenxi finished eating, he turned on the computer and downloaded the video of today's game. Lin Yufan thought he was going to relive the game, but he pulled the mouse to the front and stared at the warm-up stage before the game started. In the warm-up stage, there will be a lottery draw by the audience. The host is drawing lucky numbers, and the big screen will show lively scenes in the audience from time to time. Ye Chenxi stared at the video for a long time, as if looking for someone in the audience, and finally it seemed I couldn't find it, and I lowered my head in frustration.
Lin Yufan suddenly felt that this man was pitiful - is he looking for his master
In fact, Lin Yufan could feel that Ye Chenxi had unusual feelings for his master, no matter how well Ye Chenxi concealed it, after all they were roommates and lived together for so many years, sometimes Lin Yufan got up in the middle of the night to go to bed In the toilet, the man on the next bed called out "Master" in a low voice when he had a nightmare, which really made Lin Yufan feel sad for him.
Having a crush on someone of the opposite sex is torturous, not to mention that the crush he has a crush on is a man, his master...
It is appalling to say this kind of forbidden love, so Ye Chenxi kept suppressing herself. As the vice captain and his roommate, Lin Yufan knew this well, but he could only pretend that he didn't know anything. I was afraid that once I asked, I would touch the man's inverse scales.
After watching the video for a long time, there was no gain. Ye Chenxi turned off the computer, went back to the bed and sat down, and asked, "Have you ever liked anyone?"
Lin Yufan's hand shook suddenly, and the game on the tablet immediately popped up "Game Over".
Seeing Ye Chenxi's gaze, Lin Yufan hurriedly said embarrassedly, "Cough, no, I've never been in a relationship before, and I've never met someone I like..."
Ye Chenxi changed his words and said, "I like Lan Weiran, in fact, you know that, right?"
Lin Yufan: "..."
Ye Chenxi said, "I often have nightmares and love to talk in my sleep. You must have heard something, right?"
Lin Yufan's back froze, does this mean that he wants to kill people
Lin Yufan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I didn't tell anyone! I promise! I will definitely keep my mouth shut!"
Ye Chenxi smiled and said: "Don't be so excited, I know you won't go around talking nonsense like that Chen Dazui in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, only you know about this at the moment, not even he himself. He has such a mind..."
Ye Chenxi's smile was a little reluctant, and her voice was low: "If he knew that I liked him, he would definitely scare away immediately and never meet me again... In his eyes, I'm just an apprentice, and he came today When I watched the game, I probably wanted to see what Luo Huaci had become in my hands. After watching the game, Luo Huaci won, and he left with confidence... From his standpoint, he did not What did I do wrong... it's just... he didn't come to see me, it made me a little uncomfortable..."
The sadness in the man's eyes made Lin Yufan speechless for a while, stunned there, not knowing what to do.
He had probably suppressed it for too long, so he wanted to share with Lin Yufan what he had buried deep in his heart. After all, Lin Yufan, his roommate, was the only one who knew his secret. The secret has been hidden for a long time, and it is not very pleasant to keep it in his heart. He is willing to say it. Lin Yufan, a person with zero love experience, can only be a listener and can't give him any opinions.
Ye Chenxi was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Forget it, what do I tell you about. Let's think about how to play the next game."
"..." He quickly put aside his personal emotional issues and became a good leader of Luo Huaci. The speed of this change of face simply stunned Lin Yufan.
Ye Chenxi continued: "The opponent in the next game is Huaxia. After Liu Chuan left, Huaxia has been sluggish in the ninth season, and it is time to adjust. I think the captain Liang Haibin can bear the humiliation and bear the burden, plus Xie Guangyi. This match is not very easy to fight. Yu Fan, do you have any good suggestions?"
"..." Lin Yufan has not recovered from the shock of Ye Chenxi just saying that he likes his master.
Ye Chenxi looked over suspiciously: "Yu Fan?"
"Oh!" Lin Yufan hurriedly scratched his head and said, "Uh, Liang Haibin has worked harder than before. We will choose a map for the next game. When we go back, we will choose a map carefully. I think it is better to choose a more stable land map. More suitable for us to play…”
The two began to exchange views on the next game, and Ye Chenxi quickly transformed into the role of a good captain.
- Lan Weiran is right, Xiaoye is more suitable to be the captain of Luo Huaci than him.
***
The next morning, the Luo Huaci team flew back to Shanghai to prepare for a showdown with Huaxia three days later.
At the same time, Lan Weiran also came to the waiting hall of the airport. He saw Luo Huaci's group of people queuing up to board the plane from a distance. After thinking about it, he still decided not to go up and say hello. No one outside Xiao Ye knew him, the old captain. If he appeared, a group of people would definitely watch him as a gorilla. It was not a good feeling to be watched at the airport.
So, Lan Weiran turned around and walked to the back of the line, avoiding the large army of Luo Huaci, and queuing up with suitcases to board the plane.
Looking at the past from a distance, Luo Huaci's group acted in an orderly manner, and they boarded the plane in turn under the leadership of Ye Chenxi. How is the overall quality of a team, in fact, it can be seen from these small details that the current Luo Huaci Being well managed by Xiaoye, Lan Weiran felt very relieved.
At 11:00 noon, the plane arrived in Shanghai smoothly, and Lan Weiran took a taxi home directly from the airport.
His mother Wang Keru is also a painter. Although she is now forty-seven years old, she looks like a young woman in her early thirties, with an elegant and gentle temperament. When my father was there, the couple often traveled together, looking for inspiration all over the world. They were a very loving couple. After his father left, Lan Weiran's mother mounted and treasured all his paintings, and even took them to exhibitions abroad.
Lan Weiran returned to Shanghai this time because his mother Wang Keru was going to hold a solo exhibition during the National Day.
The familiar scent wafting from the kitchen made Lan Weiran feel a little sour for a while. What if Dad was still there? The family of three could eat together around the table. He remembered that his father loved the steamed fish made by his mother. When he was young, his father often carefully picked out the fish bones and fed him...
The paintings hanging on the walls of the home are all works of my father. This Shanghai home has the breath of that person everywhere.
Lan Weiran seemed to be able to see the man sitting on the swivel chair in the study, playing games, pressing his fingers on the keyboard, and occasionally saying angrily, "Son, help me teach this guy a lesson, he actually scolds you for being old. Dad is a rookie…”
Lan Weiran reluctantly used his father's account to abuse people. The person who was abused to death got up and said, "I have become a master in a second? Is it a change?"
Dad Lan said proudly, "It's my son!"
"..." The other party sent a row of ellipses, which scared him away.
The childish father always likes to find people everywhere in the game to learn from each other. At that time, there was also a "negative score list" in the ring area of the Wulin Arena. Blue Dad was very honorable and ranked first in the negative score list with a record of "1,000 consecutive defeats and negative 5,000 points".
Lan Weiran asked him: "Is the first place in the negative score list good-looking?"
Father Lan said, "It's the first place anyway, but you're going to bring me back the first place?"
When the father and son were bickering, his mother looked at them with a smile, like two naive children.
Time will never return, and the warm days of getting along with the family will never be repeated. His father is now buried in the ground, and he has indeed never won the first place. This is his biggest regret over the years.
Lan Weiran put the suitcase in his room, turned around and walked to the kitchen. His mother was cooking, wearing an apron to look like a home woman. It was because he told him in advance that he was coming to Shanghai, so she calculated a good time for her son. Make a lunch.
"You're back?" Wang Keru smiled and greeted her son, "Come and help, the dishes are ready, you can take them out."
Lan Weiran saw several white hairs growing on the top of her head, her nose was sore, and she didn't respond for a long time.
Wang Keru turned around and said, "what's the matter?"
Lan Weiran smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'll help you with the art exhibition in the past few days, Mom."
Wang Keru said, "Okay, I'm worried about the lack of manpower."
The mother and son came out with the dishes and chatted while eating.
Wang Keru asked, "Are you still used to it at school? I heard from your grandfather that your teacher is quite popular?"
"It's okay." Lan Weiran was silent for a moment, then said, "Mom, there is something I want to ask for your opinion."
Wang Keru raised her head: "What's the matter?"
Lan Weiran said: "You know, I have played in the e-sports league for two years, but I haven't won any awards... Even in the season before my father's death, I still lost at the last minute, in fact, I didn't Willingly, so…”
Wang Keru said in surprise: "So, do you want to go back to play again?"
"Yes." Lan Weiran nodded, "I want to get a prize back, even if a third runner-up trophy is good, it's an explanation for myself."
Wang Keru said: "But you are 24 years old. Although my mother doesn't know much about game competitions, I heard that in the domestic e-sports circle, professional players are about to retire at the age of 23. If you go back now, you can still be the same as back then. ?"
"My condition is indeed much worse than it was back then, so I should go back even more." Lan Weiran paused, looked up at his mother, and said with a smile, "Because this is my last chance."
Wang Keru: "..."
Looking at his firm gaze, as a mother, she couldn't help feeling distressed for this son. He didn't win an award for four consecutive seasons, tried his best but got nothing, and later retired because of his father's death. It's normal for him to be unwilling.
- He is 24 years old, so he has to go back because this is his last chance.
If he misses even this opportunity, then he will have the regret of "not winning any awards" in his life. Maybe when he is old, he will regret it. Why didn't he work hard again? Maybe I can get a trophy back, as a souvenir...
Wang Keru nodded understandingly and said, "Okay, do what you want to do, while you're still young, don't leave any regrets."
Lan Weiran was a little moved, "Mom, don't you object?"
Wang Keru said with a smile, "Why should I object? If your father was still there, he would definitely support you. When you were playing games, he used to go to see them, and he was also very interested in the game you were playing. Go back if you want, as long as you feel happy."
After a pause, he added, "But son, don't take the outcome too seriously. This time, when you go back, try your best to win the trophy. It's okay if you don't get it, just relax."
"understood."
The mother and son looked at each other and smiled. After a moment of silence, Lan Weiran said, "By the way, mother, do you still remember Liu Chuan?"
Wang Keru thought about it and said, "It's the captain of Huaxia, right? I remember you lost to him four times."
Lan Weiran said, "That's right, but I'm going back this time because I plan to form a team with him to make a comeback."
Wang Keru was surprised: "You want to form a team with him? Do you mind?"
Lan Weiran shook his head: "Everyone thinks that he and I are enemies. In fact, I have never hated him, and I am not so careful. He beat me back then because different teams have different positions. He will also beat him... It is precisely because he has been an opponent for a long time, so I know his level very well, he wants to come back and ask me to form a team together, I thought about it and think this method is very feasible. "
Wang Keru thought about it carefully, and then said with a smile, "Alright... let go of the past and start over."
Lan Weiran smiled and nodded: "I think so too."
- Let go of the past to start over.
In the past, Lan Weiran placed too much emphasis on winning and losing. The result of poor mental adjustment was that he lost to Huaxia four times in a row.
The current Lan Weiran is no longer the captain of the Luo Huaci team, and the current Liu Chuan is no longer the Sichuan God of China. They have all left and want to come back unwillingly. When he returned to the league, he just wanted to take a trophy to prove himself. Liu Chuan would be his strongest support. This time, their goals finally reached the same goal—
Win the championship together!
