While Yu Ming was walking out, Tong Yao was also busy preparing to find the toilet.

The finals of the Spring Split are based on a best-of-five-set system. After each set, there will be fifteen minutes or so for players and spectators to rest.

So after the first fight, Tong Yao saw that the team members all went to the backstage to rest, without thinking too much, stood up and walked out - the girl who sent the support banner just now sat next to her, and she shrank obediently when she saw that she was going out. He got up and let her go, and asked casually, "Are you going to the toilet?"

"Yes," Nursery Rhymes replied quite casually, "The kidneys are not good."

As soon as the words were out of the corner of the eye, I saw the girls in front of them turned back and watched her snicker... Laughing until the nursery rhyme's face turned red, it made the whole world seem to be the only one who is as unrestrained as she was, so she hurriedly ran away with her tail tucked in... After leaving the stadium and outside the stadium, she desperately wanted a breath of fresh air, and looked around to find the sign of the toilet—

However, the toilet was not found, but the ex-boyfriend found one.

The ex-boyfriend comrade seemed to have been standing at the door for a while. When the nursery rhyme came out, there were a few female fans around him, and they were grabbing him for a photo with a surprised look and wanting to sign an autograph. I didn't realize that I could catch the Yang God even when I went to the toilet...

Look at the appearance of the three floors outside the three floors surrounded by fans...

Gee.

It's almost like a flower blooming.

Tong Yao felt very emotional, took out her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to her friend Jin Yang: [My friend, I saw that the Yangshen has grown so big that he is being surrounded by fans and trapped in a sea of happiness.]

Jinyang's side quickly responded: [So you decided?]

Nursery Rhyme: [Walk over with no expression and no squinting. So the question is, how can I look more proud and domineering? How about a kick?]

"—Nursery Rhymes!"

Her fingers stopped on the send button, and the girl who was lowering her head to press the phone stiffened. Then she slowly raised her head and saw at a glance that not far from her, there were about a dozen pairs of eyes looking at her. —

The poor dog eyes that belonged to Jian Yang were right in the middle of the dozen pairs of eyes.

However, this pity didn't inspire the love of the nursery rhymes at all, she silently cursed in her heart, "Fuck me", she put down the phone, and smiled stiffly: "What a coincidence, why are you here?"

His tone was calm as if he had met a passerby on the street.

Jian Yang frowned slightly, but quickly let go. He pushed himself slightly from the fans around him, and muttered, "I'm sorry to let you go", "my friend", "I won't sign it yet" and "take a photo." "Wait a while"... Then, under the gaze of the fans, he came to stand in front of the nursery rhyme, showed a tangled expression, paused and then asked, "Why did you come to Shanghai? Isn't your school open at this time?"

"A year off from school."

"Suspension? What's the matter with you? Why did you suddenly decide to suspend-" Jian Yang's frowning brows did not loosen this time, he paused and opened his mouth, "Are you ill?"

This kid is still as stupid as he was then.

"You're sick." Tong Yao rolled her eyes, "What are you doing here?"

"Play, play a game."

"… "

The nursery rhyme showed an expression of caring for the mentally handicapped.

Jian Yang blinked and seemed to realize what she was asking, and then quickly said, "I saw you just now, on the big screen, wondering if I can wait until you come to the toilet..."

"Are you standing here waiting? What if my kidneys are good? I don't know how to make a phone call? Are you living in primitive times?"

"… "

Jian Yang showed an embarrassed expression, and the nursery rhyme slapped her forehead before she remembered: She had already blocked all his phone, WeChat and other contact methods, and even forgot to put his email address on the blacklist, so he just put it in the trash Filter it out, and automatically destroy that kind after seven days...

Even if you block someone and ask them confidently why they don't call her, that's her fault... The nursery rhyme smirked, and her tone was a little better: "What are you asking me to do?"

"Well, just ask how you are doing recently."

Jian Yang seemed to be a little nervous. He rubbed his hands, and his team uniform was wrinkled a little by him. The e-sports star who was standing on the stage at the opening ceremony was gone, and now he seems to be an ordinary person. , A little nervous big boy... Seeing that nursery rhyme looked at his "you're teasing me" ridicule and didn't speak, he added anxiously: "Really, I won't care about you after that! I want to know you The situation, but Chen Jinyang didn't let me ask, I went to ask Ai Jia and she even scolded Ai Jia, sigh, I don't know how your life will be after-"

"How's it going? I'm happy, how boring it is to fall in love, and how happy it is to play games when you have time."

Tong Yao rolled her eyes and crossed Jian Yang's shoulders. She could see the fans standing behind him craned their necks as if trying to eavesdrop on what they were saying... Thinking that she has other big rhythms to bring, this For a while, I thought that I really don't have time to make some scandals with an ex-boyfriend, she stretched out her hand and patted Jian Yang's shoulder, and made a simple and rude closing remark: "It's all over, don't worry about it... After that, everyone It's fun, you just need to know that's enough."

"… "

Jian Yang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, as if he did not expect the nursery rhyme to say this—

However, at this moment, there was a commotion from the gym!

The people around, including Tong Yao and Jian Yang, turned their heads to look inside the arena at the same time. From their direction, Yu Ming, the mid laner of the ZGDX team, could be seen walking out of the back lounge alone, and the moment he walked out, the arena appeared. The light that was still on inside dimmed, Yu Ming was the only one standing on the competition stage, and the light hit him...

"… "

Tong Yao's stomach twitched, and she felt like she had guessed what was going to happen next—

Sure enough, Yu Ming stood on the stage holding the microphone and said a long paragraph.

The content includes how he first came into contact with this game, was blocked by his parents, and finally decided to come out to play professionally... At first, he did not get the consent of his family, and even had a cold war with his parents for a long time. Struggle with unrealistic dreams at all...

At that time, China's e-sports was still in the state of enlightenment, and the game League of Legends was just popular. The so-called professional players' treatment was very different from now. He was relying on a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan. The so-called dream that I only knew, gritted my teeth and persevered in this big city—

Until he won his first professional league championship in the ZGDX team.

Until he watched old teammates retire, transfer, and welcome new teammates.

Until his family finally understood and supported him, now as long as there is a ZGDX team game, even if his parents don't know how to play games, they still wear glasses and get in front of the computer to pay attention.

Yu Ming is like a concrete microcosm of China's e-sports industry from scratch. He has witnessed many, many—

"I always dreamed that one day, I and my teammates would win the World Finals, and then stand on the final battlefield, holding the trophy, and telling everyone who supported me all the way and who followed the League of Legends China division. Everyone: We did it."

Facing the people below the stage who looked at him quietly, Yu Ming bent down deeply—

"I'm sorry, I didn't fulfill my promise, and I didn't complete this dream in the end... And now, I realize that it may be time to let go of this attachment that can only move me and make way for new blood."

Yu Ming straightened his waist, his eyes were red, and his voice was as low as he could resist choking.

"Once our Chinese division was so close to winning that dream trophy, but now, this step is far away, and we have never been able to cross it... I hope that one day, when LPL (*League of Legends Pro League China Division) takes home that trophy When I was still there, you were still…”

"But it's time to say goodbye for now."

"I, Yu Ming, a ZGDX mid laner, officially registered for retirement after this spring finals."

After Yu Ming finished speaking, he clenched the microphone and bowed deeply to the silent audience again.

-It is rare in one's life to see such a scene: thousands of people gather in an open field, but no one speaks, as if even the sound of breathing cannot be heard...

The people under the stage, no matter which team they are fans, seem to be unresponsive at this moment. I don't like him, I don't have a special fondness for him, and I even mocked and abused him on the Internet wearing a vest, but at this moment, they are here, like they can't understand Chinese for a moment, they don't know this person at all What the hell are you talking about...

Why did Yu Ming leave

How could this man retire

How could the IDs of ZGDX and ming no longer appear on the stage of the competition one day

Until in the dark crowd, someone in the front row suddenly raised a cheering card with the name "Yu Ming" spelled out with fluorescent lights—

It's a silent action.

But then, a female voice that sounded like she was clenching her back molars sounded: "Myojin! Come on!"

This sound of shouting that shattered the silence seemed to finally wake up the dumbfounded people in the audience!

"—Myojin! Myojin! Myojin!"

one person.

"—Myojin! Come on!"

Two people.

"—Myojin! We will always support you!"

three people…

"We can definitely win S6 (*sixth World Finals) One day that trophy belongs to LPL!"

"Come on, ZGDX team!"

"Come on Myojin! Come on ZGDX team! Come on LPL!"

When one after another shouting finally filled the entire stadium, the voice became louder and louder, as if to overturn the roof of the stadium building... Inside the stadium, people waved support cards and banners, and those who didn't bring anything clapped desperately —

… This is probably the best retirement ceremony for a professional player, right

No flowers, no exaggerated process, just a person standing on the stage he once owned with a microphone, calmly saying goodbye to others.

"… "

The phone vibrated, and the nursery rhyme retracted her gaze and looked down at the phone. It was a text message from the team manager, Rui Ge, with five words on it: [Post on Weibo to announce.]

Tong Yao put away her phone and raised her head, not unexpectedly to see that there were already some ZGDX fans standing outside the stadium with red eyes. Boys lowered their heads and refused to speak, but girls could cry generously...

"Mingshen has also retired," Jian Yang scratched his head, with an unconcealed surprise on his face, "There are basically few players from the older generation left... I heard similar news about Mingshen's retirement before, but they didn't. Say which domestic mid laner will go to ZGDX? Did you buy Korean aid?"

"The ZGDX team has always been in the All-China class." Tong Yao glanced at him and reminded him.

"Oh, yes. But the domestic first-tier mid laners are desperately short. Where can they find a top-"

"me."

"..." Jian Yang scratched his head for a while, then he took his eyes away from Yu Ming and asked the nursery rhyme with a slight frown, "What did you say?"

"Didn't you ask me before, why did you drop out of school?" Tong Yao bent down slightly and tucked her hands into the pockets of her big pants, "Because I want to come to Shanghai to play a career."

Jian Yang smiled nervously, looking rather frightened: "What? Don't make fun of nursery rhymes, how could a woman—"

"It's impossible, try it and you'll know."

“… … … … … … … …”

Jian Yang stayed where he was.

The crowd of passers-by who accidentally heard some breaking news behind him were also dumbfounded by the same template.

And the nursery rhyme just looked at the time on the phone, looked up and said to Jian Yang: "The game is ready to start, you can go back, adjust your mentality and don't behave as badly as before, the three-way send-off just now. The operation is really irritating to the eyes…”

She took a step forward, walked two steps into the stadium, and then turned around as if thinking about something, smiled at the stiff-faced guy behind her, waved her hand lightly, and said, "Oh, yes, in the summer game. See."
