After Liu Chuan returned to his room, he immediately sent a group text message to his friends, wishing you and your family a happy and prosperous Spring Festival! :)
Young people hardly slept at 12:30. Text messages were quickly replied, most of them were short sentences such as Happy New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai, and some people were special—
For example, Su Shilun sent a smiley face: "Happy Chinese New Year to you too, Chuan God ^_^".
Xiao Sijing simply sent four words: "Received, let's have fun." There is a kind of domineering "I know, you should step down".
A lot of Xiaoluhui's content is all about eating: "Master, what did you eat for New Year's Eve? My family's New Year's Eve meal is very rich, including beer duck, braised elbows, roast chicken legs..."
Shao Zehang replied with four words "Happy Spring Festival", without emotion or punctuation, which is the simplicity and indifference of the Shao team.
Liang Haibin sent a smile: "Happy Spring Festival for the Sichuan team!"
Xie Guangyi simply said, "Happy holiday, brother."
Tang Yufeng returned his double eyelids: "= = Happy New Year."
Xiaoyu replied: "Captain, happy Spring Festival, all wishes come true, family is happy, everything goes well..." It's hard to find so many idioms for Xiaoyu.
Lan Weiran was too lazy to type, and directly copied and pasted Liu Chuan's text message back: "I wish you and your family a happy Spring Festival and good luck."
…
People with different personalities have different texting styles. Liu Chuan smiled and didn't reply to them one by one.
His fingers paused on the name "Wu Zewen", and Liu Chuan couldn't help thinking: What is Zewen doing now? Did he have New Year's Eve dinner with his mother? Compared with the lively gathering of many people in the Liu family, Wu Zewen's family has only their mother and son, will they feel deserted...
Liu Chuan thought for a while, pressed his finger on the call button, and simply called Wu Zewen.
Wu Zewen was cleaning tableware with his mother in the kitchen at the time, when he heard the phone ringing, he wiped his hands and ran to pick up the phone: "Hello, Liu Chuan?"
Liu Chuan smiled and said, "Calling you for New Year's greetings, happy holidays."
Wu Zewen said: "Well, you too, happy Spring Festival."
The two fell silent at the same time, listening to the sound of each other's shallow breathing coming from their ears, and the frequency of their heartbeats seemed to gradually increase in rhythm...
Clusters of dazzling fireworks were lit in the sky outside the window, and fireworks of various colors illuminated the night sky. It will be a new year from now on. I didn't have time to tidy up, so I hurriedly crossed the New Year... Maybe, in the future, they will look at the fireworks outside the window together and experience many New Years together.
Liu Chuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "By the way, is it convenient for me to visit your house tomorrow for New Year's greetings?"
Wu Zewen said: "Convenient, my uncle and the others came here only on the second day of the new year. There should be no guests at home on the first day of the new year tomorrow."
Liu Chuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come over at noon tomorrow and give you a call before I come."
Wu Zewen said: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Zewen returned to the kitchen. Feng Dan had already packed up all the dishes and looked at his son with a smile: "Is your friend's phone call for New Year's greetings?"
Wu Zewen said, "Well, our captain said that he will come to our house tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings..."
Feng Dan asked, "Captain? Is that Liu Chuan?"
Wu Zewen nodded.
Feng Dan smiled and said, "Okay, let him come. There should be enough food in the refrigerator. I will cook it myself and treat him well."
Wu Zewen looked at his mother's smiling eyes, looked away with some guilt, and said, "Okay..."
Feng Dan smiled and stroked his son's hair: "It's getting late, go to bed."
Wu Zewen fell asleep quickly, but Liu Chuan didn't feel sleepy at all. Zewen's mother was a teacher, and she didn't know what she liked. She came to visit tomorrow. Liu Chuan still hasn't decided what gift to bring Wu Zewen's mother. So, in the middle of the night, Liu Chuan called his younger sister Liu Xiaomeng over as a staff officer: "Xiaomeng, what do you think is more appropriate to give something to the elders? The other party is a woman, and the teacher should be around forty-five years old."
Liu Xiaomeng actively advises her brother: "Middle-aged women like maintenance, especially those between the ages of forty and fifty, as their skin is aging, they will use anti-wrinkle skin care products, but it depends on what she usually uses. It's good to buy a brand she likes..." After that, he looked up at him curiously, "Brother, who are you giving it to? Your teacher?"
Liu Chuan said, "Well, our teacher."
Liu Xiaomeng looked at him suspiciously, and Liu Chuan drove her sister out with a smile, then turned back on the computer to check the information on skin care products.
My sister was right, she still had to choose the brand she usually used to send skin care products, so Liu Chuan sent a text message to ask Wu Zewen: "Does your mother usually use skin care products? What brand?"
Wu Zewen lay in bed, took the phone and texted him back: "Why are you asking this?"
Liu Chuan said: "Just ask :)"
Wu Zewen asked, "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
Liu Chuan replied, "How about you?"
Wu Zewen replied, "I'm in the quilt."
Liu Chuan smiled and said, "Then go to sleep, good night."
***
Early the next morning, Liu Chuan drove to the store to buy gifts. With the careful introduction of the beauty at the counter, he bought a skin care set suitable for women around 45 years old. Because it was a brand-name product, he spent a lot of money. . Then I went to the mall to buy some nutritional supplements, and then I went back home and dug out a bottle of red wine from my father's bookcase.
Seeing that his son was busy, Liu Boyuan couldn't help but say, "What are you busy with?"
Liu Chuan smiled and said, "Dad, I'll take this wine to send to my elders first. The time is too urgent to buy good wine. I'll make it up for you later."
Liu Boyuan waved his hand and said, "Take it, I don't usually like to drink."
Liu Chuan said, "Thank you Dad!"
Liu Chuan drove his car to Wu Zewen's house on time at 11:00 noon. Wu Zewen personally went downstairs to pick him up. Seeing that he was carrying a lot of things, he couldn't help but say, "Why are you buying so many things?"
Liu Chuan said with a smile, "It's the first time to visit your house for New Year's greetings. You can't come empty-handed."
Wu Zewen opened the unit door and took Liu Chuan upstairs together.
This community was built many years ago, with a total of seven floors and no elevator. Fortunately, the property management is very good, and the corridors are also very clean. Wu Zewen stopped at the door of room 502 and took out the key to open the door.
As soon as the two entered the door, they smelled a strong aroma. Liu Chuan sniffed and asked, "It's so fragrant, what is your mother doing delicious?"
Wu Zewen said: "She is cooking pork ribs soup."
When Feng Dan heard the sound, he walked out of the kitchen and asked, "Zewen, is your captain here?"
Liu Chuan hurriedly stepped forward and said politely, "Hello Auntie, I'm giving you my New Year's greetings!" Then he handed her all the gifts in his hand, "Here are the skin care products and red wine for you. I don't know what you like, so I just bought some."
Feng Dan smiled and accepted it: "Thank you, you are really caring... Sit down first, Zewen, pour him a glass of water, and I'll go to the kitchen to get something to eat."
Liu Chuan sat down in the living room and looked around for a week. He found that the house of Ze Wuwen's house had three bedrooms and two living rooms. There is a photo on the cabinet next to the TV. It should be a group photo of their family of three. The child with glasses in the middle is Wu Zewen when he was a child, and the man on the left should be his deceased father...
Wu Zewen turned around and poured the water. Liu Chuan glanced at the living room and caught these key information. Looking at the photo of a happy family of three, Liu Chuan couldn't help but feel a little distressed - Zewen and his mother, should be Do you miss the person who passed away
Wu Zewen quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Liu Chuan: "Drink tea."
Liu Chuan smiled and took two sips. At this moment, Feng Dan also brought the dishes to the restaurant, and Wu Zewen hurriedly turned around to help his mother.
Feng Dan is a very gentle woman just like Liu Chuan imagined. Liu Chuan was scolded by his mother since childhood. Seeing Wu Zewen's mother is so good-natured, he couldn't help but persuade her to let Wu Zewen join the team. Grasp.
On the dinner table, the dishes cooked by Feng Dan himself are rich and delicious, especially the pork ribs soup in the casserole, the strong aroma is refreshing. She enthusiastically served Liu Chuan a bowl of soup and said, "Try it, I made it casually, I don't know if it suits your taste."
Liu Chuan hurriedly took it with both hands, "Thank you, Auntie." After tasting it, he praised: "It's delicious, Auntie, you are the craftsmanship of a famous chef!"
Feng Dan smiled and said, "You really know how to talk."
Wu Zewen was in a good mood. He was afraid that his mother would embarrass Liu Chuan. Unexpectedly, his mother seemed to like Liu Chuan very much, and she always served Liu Chuan's soup...
After all, Liu Chuan was the first friend Wu Zewen brought home.
The three of them sat at the dining table and had a good lunch. After the meal, Wu Zewen diligently cleaned up the dishes, Feng Dan brought another plate of fruit for Liu Chuan to eat, Liu Chuan ate a few grapes, and then he got down to business: "Auntie, did Zewen tell you? ? We want to play games together after graduation."
Feng Dan said: "Well, I said it."
Liu Chuan said, "I'm here today to explain this matter to you in detail. Please take a look first. This is the schedule I made."
Liu Chuan took out a printed form from his pocket and handed it to Feng Dan, explaining: "After school starts, we need to finish the graduation thesis first. The official start of the city competition is between June and July. Just graduated, you can concentrate on playing the game. If it goes well, you will be able to successfully advance to the professional league until the end of December and become an official registered team.”
Feng Dan lowered his head and glanced. Liu Chuan wrote a very detailed schedule. From February 5 (the third day of the first lunar month) to the start of training, to the official competition in June, what needs to be done at each stage, you can see at a glance at this table. , next to the budget for various activities, the adjustment time set aside...
Doing something with a plan and purpose is naturally more reliable than random talk.
The schedule compiled by Liu Chuan also made Feng Dan appreciate the young man's ability to do things.
This boy is obviously an experienced captain, instead of just messing around with passion. He has thought through every step very clearly, and he is also very clear about the goals that need to be achieved at each stage. With such a captain, the players will be relieved to follow him.
Young people are most likely to be enthusiastic and act impulsive. Feng Dan originally thought they were impulsively wanting to play games, but when she met Liu Chuan today, she realized that this boy is far more capable than she imagined. With such careful preparation and foresight, at first glance, it is a person who can do great things.
Feng Dan smiled slightly and said, "What about after entering the professional league?"
Liu Chuan took out another form and said: "This is my preliminary plan in three years. After entering the professional league, the team club will have the support of the league. Of course, we have to find a way to get some sponsors ourselves. Our club has become one of the best e-sports clubs in China. Even if Zewen and I both retire in the future, this club will still belong to our industry. In the future, batches of excellent e-sports players will come here. Treat it as a business and run it well.”
Feng Dan glanced at Wu Zewen and asked, "Zewen, what do you think?"
Wu Zewen said without hesitation: "Mom, I want to play games with Liu Chuan and start a business together."
Feng Dan said: "Then you have studied physics for so many years, isn't it a waste of time?"
Wu Zewen said: "Many college students have jobs that don't match their majors after graduation. I think it's more interesting to do what you like. Going to work from 9 to 5 every day and doing a job that you don't like will make you very tired. isn't it?"
Feng Dan did not speak.
Wu Zewen adjusted his glasses and said seriously, "Mom, I really want to go to the game, please let me go."
Liu Chuan also echoed: "That's right, Auntie, Zewen is a rare and talented player. If he goes to the game, he will definitely achieve good results. Now the domestic e-sports field is developing very well, let's go to the game. It's not to play, but to go for the trophy. If Zewen has played for two years and feels bored and doesn't want to play, he can leave at any time. Of course, if Zewen can stay by my side and continue to help, I promise , will definitely not treat him badly!"
- Absolutely will not treat him badly.
Liu Chuan's tone was decisive, and this sworn assurance sounded quite convincing. Feng Dan looked back at his son, met Wu Zewen's pleading gaze, and suddenly softened his heart, and said helplessly: "Actually, you have already decided, even if your mother objects, you will not change your mind, right?"
Wu Zewen lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "Yes..."
Feng Dan smiled slightly and said, "Okay then, I'll trust your decision once." After that, he touched his son's head lightly, looked back at Liu Chuan and said, "You used to be called Haina Baichuan, and you still Won a Grand Slam? Right?"
Liu Chuan said in surprise: "Auntie, how did you know?"
Feng Dan said: "Zewen told me about your past. I searched the Internet. You used to be very good, but in the future, you have to continue to work hard as a captain. It is good for young people to want to start a business, but Don't be hot for three minutes, and you'll quit after a few days."
Liu Chuan hurriedly said: "That's natural. With me here, our club will definitely stand firm."
Feng Dan smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'm relieved to see that you are so confident. Let's talk. I'll go back to my room to watch TV first."
She took her laptop and went back to her room to watch a spy movie. Only Liu Chuan and Wu Zewen were left in the living room.
Wu Zewen picked up the schedule on the table and turned around and said, "You actually made such a detailed schedule... Did you stay up late last night to do it?"
After being exposed by Detective Wu, Liu Chuan stopped covering it up, touched his nose with a smile, and said, "Cough, your mother will be more at ease, and the schedule will be useful in the future."
Wu Zewen knew that Liu Chuan must be reliable at critical moments. He performed very well today, and he has always been polite when speaking. The schedule and three-year plan are all laid out, so that Feng Dan can't fault it.
It was the first time Liu Chuan came to see his teammates' parents, and he always thought it was a bit strange. However, Wu Zewen's mother's attitude was so good, which surprised him. He couldn't help but say, "Your mother is so kind to you, I didn't expect her to talk so well."
Wu Zewen said: "I have always made my own decisions since I was a child, and my mother would not generally object to it."
Liu Chuan praised: "Yes, she is really enlightened. She teaches middle school physics, right?"
Wu Zewen said, "Well."
Having said this, they fell silent at the same time. The two of them met their eyes and looked at each other for a moment. Liu Chuan looked away uncomfortably.
"Watch TV..." Wu Zewen got up and went to turn on the TV, and handed him another orange. Liu Chuan hurriedly said, "No need, I'm about to eat."
The two were sitting on the sofa watching TV. The show was quite boring. Liu Chuan was really not interested in TV shows, so he said, "Zewen, do you have an album to show me? I'm curious about what you looked like when you were young. of."
Wu Zewen went back to his room and brought a photo album. As soon as Liu Chuan opened it, he saw a little boy lying on the bed, looking at the camera with wide eyes, a pair of white and tender hands holding a teddy bear, Liu Chuan almost laughed Out loud: "This child is so cute... is that you?"
Wu Zewen's ears turned slightly red and said, "This was taken when I was three years old."
Liu Chuan turned around. This is obviously Wu Zewen's personal photo album. It's all Wu Zewen's own photos. Wu Zewen in kindergarten looked a bit dull and didn't wear glasses. When Wu Zewen was in elementary school, he wore a pair of glasses and looked serious, and he already had the demeanor of a scholar... The junior version in junior high school looked very young and immature, holding the trophy of the physics competition in his hand, with a serious face Elementary school bully...
Liu Chuan looked through the album carefully, as if he saw Wu Zewen's growth trajectory from childhood to adulthood. This feeling made his mood very subtle, as if he and Wu Zewen were one step closer.
The afternoon passed without knowing it. Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Chuan got up and said, "Cough, I should go, my grandparents are still at my house, I have to go home for dinner..." Loudly said to Feng Dan's bedroom, "Auntie, I'm leaving first!"
Feng Dan came out of the bedroom and said with a smile, "Will you sit for a while?"
Liu Chuan said: "No, there are still some things at home."
Feng Dan nodded: "Then go back, Zewen, and send Liu Chuan off."
Wu Zewen gave a "um" and sent Liu Chuan downstairs in his coat.
It was getting dark, and the warm yellow street lights in the community were all on. Wu Zewen kept delivering Liu Chuan to the gate of the community. Liu Chuan stopped, turned around, smiled and said, "Zewen, I'm really glad your mother agreed..."
Wu Zewen said seriously: "Me too."
Seeing his frozen red ears, Liu Chuan hurriedly said distressedly: "Okay, don't give it away, go back quickly, don't catch a cold if you wear so little."
Wu Zewen nodded. "Then be careful on the road."
Liu Chuan got into the car, lowered the window and waved at him: "Go back, see you the day after tomorrow."
Then Wu Zewen turned around and walked back.
In the distance, in the kitchen on the fifth floor, Feng Dan raised his lips slightly as he watched the scene of the two young people downstairs saying goodbye.
