At the beginning, Ye Chenxi also had struggles and conflicts when he found out that he liked Master Once the mind speaks out, it is absolutely shocking.
But he couldn't control himself at all...
The 16-year-old boy is in adolescence. Ye Chenxi often has those strange dreams. In the dream, he stayed with the master and hugged and kissed the master. After waking up every morning, his heart was always full of guilt. I feel sorry for Master, feel guilty, and even feel self-loathing, but I know the essence of this feeling. When I see Lan Weiran in the restaurant in the morning, I can't help but blush when I think of the scene in my dream.
At that time, Ye Chenxi's thoughts were very simple. He regarded his master as a god in his heart, and he could only look up to him without any disrespect.
It's just that he didn't have the courage to say this kind of admiration. After all, in Si Lan's eyes, Ye Chenxi was still a 16-year-old underage who needed to be taken care of, and what he said had no weight at all, even if he confessed. , Lan Weiran will not take it seriously.
Ye Chenxi desperately hopes that he will grow up quickly and become stronger, so that he is qualified to stand by the master's side and say to the master: I like you.
Originally very talented, coupled with the strong motivation in his heart and the patient guidance of Lan Weiran, Ye Chenxi trained very seriously and hard during that time, and made rapid progress in a short period of time.
Once on the rest day after the game, all Luo Huaci were playing in the ring in the training room. Hu Liang said on a whim that he wanted to duel with Ye Chenxi, but Ye Chenxi lost five games in a row, and Hu Liang scratched embarrassingly. He nodded and said, "Xiaoye has made great progress recently. I think I could win two of three games against you, but now I can't beat you."
"It's no wonder you can beat him as a support." Lan Weiran said while drinking coffee.
Hu Liang smiled and said, "Don't just talk about me, Silan, you know the level of your own apprentice best, or how many rounds do you two fight?"
Lan Weiran put down the coffee in his hand, walked over to the computer, sat down, and looked at his apprentice: "Come and play a few games with me, and I just happened to check your training results for the past few days."
Ye Chenxi met his eyes, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, she sat next to Lan Weiran nervously and excitedly, opened the game client, logged in to her account, and said, "Master, let's open the arena."
"Okay." Lan Weiran quickly opened the arena and told him the password. As a result, a Xiaoyao with a green jade flute entered the room, and the ID was "Sinking".
Lan Weiran looked back at him with some doubts: "Is this your new trumpet?"
"Yeah." Ye Chenxi nodded and added, "I just practiced these few days. I wanted to try another skill matching plan, so I practiced a trumpet." Speaking of which, I couldn't help but be nervous. He glanced at Lan Weiran, for fear that the master would find something - sinking, the word is actually a true portrayal of the young man's heart back then. Feelings are forced into my heart.
Lan Weiran really didn't respond to the trumpet's ID "Sinking", smiled and said, "Prepare, show your strongest strength."
The captain was going to PK with the apprentice, and many people from Luo Huaci came to watch curiously.
When Lan Weiran took Ye Chenxi with him, he was never soft-hearted. He fought with his apprentice. He actually showed the level of playing against professional players on the field. When Ye Chenxi first started, he was so abused that he couldn't get up at all. Liang Du couldn't help but say, "Why are you so cruel as a master? Xiaoye is just starting out, so there's no need to use such a strong training pressure, right?" Lan Weiran smiled and waved his hand and said, "Don't underestimate him. The guy is very talented, and only with such intense training will he improve the fastest."
The fact was as Lan Weiran expected, after being abused for a few months, Ye Chenxi has been able to keep up with the speed of the master.
The battle on this day was very exciting, Lan Weiran showed no mercy, and Ye Chenxi tried her best as if to prove herself. The top players in Xiaoyao played five consecutive rounds, and Ye Chenxi lost four and won one. .
In the last round, Ye Chenxi skillfully caught the loophole in Lan Weiran's move, with one move "Pinghu Qiuyue" backhand to control him, and then another set of Yuxiao-type Xiaoyao burst combos, which drained Lan Weiran's HP in one breath All clear.
This combo was extremely smooth, even Lan Weiran didn't have time to dodge.
Looking at the big word "failure" on Lan Weiran's computer screen, the atmosphere in the training room was a little awkward for a while. After all, if the apprentice defeated the master, the master would be very embarrassed, and Ye Chenxi defeated the captain of Luo Huaci. Ye Chenxi was in a panic, for fear that the master would be unhappy.
However, there was no displeasure on Lan Weiran's face, instead, he reached out and touched Ye Chenxi's head lightly, smiled and said, "Good fight."
Those encouraging eyes seemed to say: As expected of the apprentice taught by my Lan Weiran.
Master is really broad-minded and doesn't mind this matter. When Ye Chenxi met his eyes, she was very excited, she only felt that the blood in her whole body was about to ignite.
- That was his first victory over Lan Weiran.
For the young Ye Chenxi, this victory seems to prove that his level is getting closer and closer to that of his master. Although the 20% win rate sounds a bit pitiful, he can beat Lan Wei once after all, and he is no longer the one who A rookie who is powerless to fight back in front of the master. Maybe in the near future he can tie Lan Weiran or even surpass Lan Weiran. At that time, Lan Weiran can no longer treat him as an apprentice who needs to be taken care of.
With this idea in mind, Ye Chenxi trained even harder. As Lan Weiran's newly promoted training camp captain, Ye Chenxi took the new members of the training camp to practice PK skills very responsibly, and set an example, practicing enough every day is a good idea. Hour. Under his leadership, all the newcomers in Luohuaci training camp seemed to have been beaten.
Looking back now, the state of being in a bloody state at that time was just a naive teenager who wanted to prove himself in front of his beloved... urgently.
However, before he could prove himself, something happened in Lan Weiran's family - Lan Weiran's father was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer.
This bad news was like a bolt from the blue, causing Lan Weiran's mental state to collapse instantly.
Ye Chenxi couldn't bear to think about those days later. It was in the middle of the fourth season. When he heard the bad news, Ye Chenxi was taking the teenagers from the training camp to qualifying. Hu Liang returned to the team and told everyone this. The news, Ye Chenxi's face changed, and he rushed to the hospital without hesitation.
He saw Lan Weiran in the long corridor of the hospital, the master who always wore a lazy smile, his expression that day was unprecedentedly heavy, frowning tightly, and pacing back and forth in the corridor with a frown on his face. , sat back in the chair after a moment, lowered his head, buried his face between his hands.
Ye Chenxi looked at the thin silhouette of his master, and wanted to go up and hug him tightly, but in the end he did nothing, just sat silently beside Lan Weiran and gently placed his hand on Lan Weiran's shoulder.
He didn't know if Lan Weiran was crying, but he could feel Lan Weiran's body shaking slightly in his hand.
How important father is to Lan Weiran, everyone in Luohuaci can feel the same.
The relationship between Lan Weiran and his father is not only a father and son, but more like a friend. Lan Weiran has always talked to his father since he was a child, and his father has always fully supported his son's dream. Many of the funds at the beginning of Luohuaci's team were found by his father. Investment from people, his father often comes to the team to bring a lot of fruit to the team members to eat. In the summer, he personally pays for everyone to replace the central air conditioner. When Luo Huaci plays in Shanghai, he always buys VIP tickets to watch the scene, and he is childlike. I bought a lot of Luohuaci's peripheral products and collected them at home.
That cheerful middle-aged man is Lan Weiran's father and the number one die-hard fan of Luo Huaci.
Such a good person has this disease in his 40s, and this result is unacceptable to everyone.
After sitting silently in the seat for a long time, Lan Weiran said in a low voice: "Little Ye, you go back first, and tell Vice Captain Hu by the way that the team's affairs are temporarily represented by him in the past few days, and I will return to the team in two days to talk to everyone. Discuss the arrangement of the game."
Ye Chenxi looked at him pretending to be strong, and was so distressed that he was going crazy, and even wanted to say: Master, don't be brave, don't worry about the team's affairs!
- But this sentence, he can't say it.
The league stipulates that players can take temporary leave in case of emergencies, but Lan Weiran is Luo Huaci's captain, commander and tactical core. If he asks for leave, it means that Luo Huaci directly gave up the game.
As the captain, he can't ask for leave at all, no matter how hard it is, he must endure.
Ye Chenxi hated her inability to share any pressure for him. At that time, Ye Chenxi was just a rookie in the training camp. She had never played a game and didn't know how to command, let alone defend Lan Weiran's whereabouts. Burden... He could only watch helplessly as Lan Weiran was so haggard.
Luo Huaci's next match was a duel with Chang'an three days later. Lan Weiran accompanied his father in the hospital for two days and two nights, and led the team to Xi'an with big dark circles under his eyes.
Due to Zhang Shuping's decline in the fourth season of Huaxia, Liu Chuan changed to a new partner Xie Guangyi, and the Shuangtangmen combination of the brothers and sisters is in the running-in period; after Qixingcao sniped Huaxia to win the championship in the third season, the fourth season is in full swing; The combination of Lin Liming and Qin Ye of the Changan team showed their sharp edge in the fourth season; Luohuaci's transmission and combined attack method is in the most mature period after several seasons of running-in, and it is the team with the highest claim to winning the championship among the four teams. team.
In the regular season, Luo Huaci also had the highest win rate. Although it was not as terrible as the Luo Huaci home spell led by Ye Chenxi later, the Shanghai home game that Lan Weiran chose was indeed given to Liu Chuan and Xiao. The captains like Si Jing and Lin Liming caused great trouble.
The match between Xi'an's away game Luo Huaci VS Chang'an was later regarded as a classic.
Lan Weiran went into battle with dark circles under his eyes. The entire Luohuaci team was probably also affected by Silan's father's illness. Everyone worked as hard as a lunatic. The bald head of the Changan team team battle, won the game 6:3.
Qin Ye asked in confusion after the game, "Si Lan, have you all taken hormones on your team?"
Lan Weiran smiled and didn't answer. He wasn't used to telling others about his pain, and he didn't need anyone to sympathize.
***
Lan Weiran's father's condition has progressed very fast, and it can be said that "the disease is like a mountain."
Due to the metastasis of cancer cells, even liver transplantation is useless, and we can only rely on drugs for conservative treatment. Everyone knows very well that Lan Weiran's father has not many days, and everyone wants to take a championship trophy as a gift. The uncle on the hospital bed, everyone was holding back, and the Luo Huaci team also successfully won the first place in the standings in the regular season.
Season 4, the closest they've come to a championship...
However, like a curse, the playoff grouping encountered China again in the first round.
In the playoffs that year, the competition system was still a very cruel knockout, and it was not like the current situation. In that year, if the playoffs were lost, they would be eliminated directly. Moreover, the host city of the fourth season happened to be in Beijing.
Luo Huaci played in the playoffs in Beijing. It can be said that he was under great pressure, and he did not have a single advantage in the timing, location, and people.
Before the game, Ye Chenxi had a bad premonition. He always felt that during the game, he should relax his mind and not pay too much attention to the victory or defeat, so that he could play his best level. Luo Huaci was all nervous. , the entire Luohuaci team is like a taut string that can easily break. Huaxia has just changed to a new combination this season. Although Liu Chuan and Xie Guangyi are still in the run-in period, their state is not the best, but a team with Liu Chuan must not be underestimated.
Ye Chenxi could only bury these words in his heart, he did not dare to tell Lan Weiran, because Lan Weiran had reached the limit at that time...
Facts have proved that Ye Chenxi's hunch was not wrong. In the season when Luo Huaci had the highest hope of winning the championship and Huaxia's worst state, Luo Huaci actually lost to Huaxia in the first round of the playoffs again - Liu Chuan was caught The opportunity can definitely knock the opponent down in one wave. Lan Weiran's mental state was just too bad, and a control skill failed to keep up. Liu Chuan immediately seized the opportunity to explode a seven-kill formation with a backhand, and directly gave Lan Weiran a second.
Lan Weiran stared blankly at the gray computer screen in front of him, and his heart was cold.
He knows that he has missed the championship again... Maybe, he will miss the championship forever.
***
In the fourth season, Changan won the championship, Qixingcao runner-up, Huaxia Army, Luohuaci still did not win any trophies.
Shortly after returning to the team, Lan Weiran's father died, Lan Weiran announced his retirement very calmly, and no one dared to keep him. As the captain, he has done his best for Luo Hua's remarks, and he should have a good rest. Everyone thinks that his decision to retire is right.
Hu Liang also said he wanted to leave. Compared with Lan Weiran's frustration, Hu Liang's bigger reason was that his condition declined as he got older, like Zhang Shuping. He was two or three years older than Lan Weiran, and he was an e-sports player. The state of a person varies from person to person. Some people's state declines quickly, while others can maintain their peak state for a long time. Hu Liang obviously belongs to the former.
As soon as the captain and vice-captain left, the whole Luo Hua Ci was on the verge of being dissolved, and Ye Chenxi stood up at this critical moment and took over this heavy burden from the master.
Many people are not optimistic about him, and even the manager is not very concerned about this young man. All the main players have left, leaving a bunch of newcomers in the training camp. He has to take over the burden of Luo Huaci, which is equivalent to rebuilding a new Luo Huaci. However, Ye Chenxi was very insistent and promised that she would bring Luo Huaci well. The manager agreed and asked him to go through the registration procedures for professional players with several newcomers from the training camp, so that Luo Huaci's name was retained.
Marven Ye knew that Silan would definitely leave this time, but he thought, what if? If one day Master wants to come back, then he guards the Luohuaci team, just like guarding a home for Master that he can come back to at any time. He will keep the master's dormitory and the seat where he likes to sit the most, and he will keep waiting until the day when the master returns.
The reason why Ye Chenxi took over as captain back then was actually very simple. Compared with the descriptions of those reporters as "ambitious", "courageous" and "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", the most important thing was that he wanted to protect Lan Weiran with his own hands. The Luohuaci team created is nothing more than that.
He didn't want to see Luo Huaci die like this. Lan Weiran's hard work was left everywhere. He wanted to pass on the idea that Lan Weiran had not had time to realize. He wanted people to know that there was once a player in the professional league who was worthy of everyone's respect. , that person has created the most unique Luohuaci team with the transmission and combined attack method as the core. That person is the first captain of the Luohuaci team, whose name is Lan Weiran.
***
Lan Weiran left very decisively. He deleted everyone's friends and disappeared completely.
Gradually, there was no more news about Silan in the professional league.
In the fifth season, many players focused their attention on the strongest new generation team in the league, "Team Bronze Sparrow". The combination of Shao Zehang and Lu Xiang, who was born out of nowhere, was invincible. As soon as they debuted, they entered the playoffs and even won the third place. . At the same time, the national color and Fenghuo teams have risen one after another, and the prosperous Tang team created by Tang Yufeng has also begun to emerge in the league.
It was the season with the fastest expansion of the league. The appearance of these teams, Tongjak, Guose, Fenghuo, and Shengtang, completely broke the pattern of the four major teams facing off against each other in the playoffs, and they belonged to the old-fashioned semi-finalists. , Under the leadership of the new captain Ye Chenxi, in the fifth season, he became a poor man who was abused 9:0 by each major team in turn.
It's no wonder that the old Luo Huaci players have disappeared, and the Luo Huaci brought up by Ye Chenxi are all newcomers to the training camp who are less than 18 years old.
It is also thanks to Ye Chenxi who was originally arranged by Lan Weiran as the captain of the training camp. He has been training with these youngsters before. Although these people are not very high-level, it is fortunate that everyone listened to Ye Chenxi's words, and the entire Luohuaci team Very united, a group of young rookies play games happily with the mentality that only by being abused can improve, and they have made rapid progress.
At that time, many people put their eyes on Shao Zehang, the captain of the Bronze Sparrow. The half-blood captain was handsome, but he was a genius at a young age. His appearance was as indifferent as ice, and his tactics were simple and violent. The route belonging to the melee chopper style has laid a solid foundation for the Tongjak team.
However, Ye Chenxi, who is less than 18 years old, has a very weak sense of existence.
In everyone's impression, Ye Chenxi, the young captain, is very low-key, polite to everyone, gentle and humble, and always has a smile on his face. Many seniors sympathize with him. After all, Silan went too decisively. , The words left behind are all newcomers. Team Ye has been abused for a whole season, and everyone can't bear to see him.
However, Xiao Sijing saw Ye Chenxi's ambition very early, when chatting privately, he once said to Liu Chuan: "Captain Xiao Ye is not easy, I have a bad feeling that this person may be in the future. It will become a more terrifying existence than Shao Zehang."
Shao Zehang's strong force can be seen at a glance, he and Lu Xiang's violent combination of Dao and Bachelor's Shadow will see whoever is second, and the style of play is very straightforward. However, Ye Chenxi's sharpness was well concealed. After Si Lan left, Ye Chenxi seemed to have developed more cooperation methods, making the Luo Huaci team even more mysterious.
"More importantly, Luo Huaci's players are now all seventeen or eighteen years old. In another year, they will all reach the peak of professional players. I have never underestimated such a team. "Liu Chuan said with a smile, "Ye Chenxi, maybe it's for me."
The seemingly gentle young captain, no one could see through the stormy waves in his heart. Liu Chuan had a hunch at that time that Ye Chenxi would definitely fight the battle of revenge for Silan.
Sure enough, a year later, in the playoffs of the seventh season, Luo Huaci was once again assigned to Huaxia, and Ye Chenxi brought the brand new Luo Huaci team to defeat Huaxia by a large score and eliminated Huaxia.
Xiao Sijing's prediction was right, and Ye Chenxi has since become the youngest and most terrifying captain of the professional league.
Later, Liu Chuan told Ye Chenxi in private: "When I played in the playoffs with Silan in Beijing, I didn't know about his father's illness. However, even if I did, I wouldn't be able to show mercy to him. It would be an insult to him if I let him go because of that."
Ye Chenxi smiled and said, "I know that my master never needs anyone's sympathy and humility. Even if he loses to you four times, he doesn't need you to let him go."
Looking at the young man's tall and straight back when he left, Liu Chuan couldn't help but say, "Si Lan... You really taught a good apprentice."
Xie Guangyi next to him said solemnly: "I always feel that Ye Chenxi has a lot of things hidden in his heart, and the future Luo Huaci led by him will be more unpredictable than when Silan was the captain."
***
In the seventh season, Luo Huaci finally won the championship, and Ye Chenxi came to Lan Weiran's father's grave holding the trophy.
When Lan Weiran's father was seriously ill and was hospitalized, Ye Chenxi had been taking care of him at the hospital bed while Lan Weiran was playing games in other places. Ye Chenxi took care of Uncle Lan just like taking care of his biological father, doing everything by himself. Lan Weiran's father gradually became close to him, and told him a lot of Silan's past.
"My son seems to be lazy all day, but I know that he has been very stubborn since he was a child. He never knows to admit defeat. It has always been a knot in his heart that he has not won the championship. In the past two years, he has put too much pressure on himself. When you are old...you will persuade him in the future, you are his apprentice, and he can still hear what you say..."
Ye Chenxi promised his uncle that he would persuade Silan well in the future, but Lan Weiran didn't give him this chance.
By the time he won the championship, Lan Weiran had already left his hometown without any news.
He put down the championship trophy in front of Lan Weiran's father's grave, which is a wish for Lan Weiran.
If Lan Wei can come back one day, he will definitely tell him that even if you don't win the championship, you are still the proudest son of your uncle. Before his death, the most worrying thing about him is not whether you won the trophy, but your life. good or bad.
If possible, Ye Chenxi hopes that one day, he and Lan Weiran can let go of all burdens and live a carefree, relaxed and happy life for a few days.
In his dreams, a blue sea always appeared. He and Lan Weiran stood side by side by the sea, looking at the magnificent beauty of the sea and the sky.
They rented a small villa by the sea and lived there until they woke up naturally every day, listening to the ebb and flow of the tide outside, and looking at the sea and the beach without worry. In the evening, Lan Weiran would lazily squinting in the sun on the balcony, and he would cook Lan Weiran's favorite steak in the kitchen, fry it to medium rare, and cut it up and serve it in front of Lan Weiran. , the whole room is filled with the rich aroma of steak...
It was the happiest day of his dreams.
It's a pity that a few years have passed in a hurry, and everything in the past is like a big dream. When I woke up, the place dedicated to Lan Weiran for the Luo Huaci team was still empty.
He wanted to tell Lan Weiran, Master, I have been waiting for you to come back, I love you very much, please give me a chance to protect you.
