Mo Chen froze for a moment, and did not answer for a long time.
The answer to this question should be what all his fans want to know, whether they are real fans or black fans.
No, it should be the entire SGH professional circle, all SGH professional fans want to know.
Wen Xi didn't ask before. On the one hand, he felt that this question was a bit sensitive, and he didn't know Mo Chen well enough to ask it.
On the other hand, I feel that if it is just out of curiosity, then his motive for asking is too impure. Wouldn't it be worth the loss if it hurts the relationship between him and Mo Chen
But now, Wen Xi promised Mo Chen to join his team, and subconsciously regarded Mo Chen as his teammate.
Then he felt that it was necessary for him to ask the truth about that matter.
— This is not only responsible for the life he chooses, but also out of concern for Mo Chen.
Mo Chen obviously knew this too.
So, after a long silence, he said lightly: "I should tell you."
Wen Xi looked at him seriously, waiting patiently for his answer.
After being silent for a while, Mo Chen sighed: "That incident, it was an accident. Do you still remember when I was in the toilet..."
Wen Xi immediately recalled: "Claustrophobia?"
Mo Chen was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect Wen Xi to know this.
As a matter of fact, Wen Xi already had this guess after that date. After returning home, he checked a lot of relevant information, and became more and more sure of his guess.
Then he wondered if Mo Chen's late arrival at the global finals last year might have something to do with his illness
"Yes, I'm claustrophobic."
Mo Chen readily admitted, and then went on to say: "On the day of the game, I went to the scene with my teammates, and I just went sideways to avoid being surrounded by fans."
Wen Xi froze for a moment, never expecting this to happen.
He didn't know what happened afterwards, but the person had already arrived at the scene but didn't show up, so something terrible must have happened...
Thinking about it this way, Wen Xi suddenly became a little afraid to listen, but in the end he bit the bullet and listened.
"Because we entered through the side door and there was no one to meet us, so we couldn't find the preparation room for a while, and we couldn't contact the person leading the team, so we decided to look for it separately." Mo Chen said, "I went up alone. up to the fourth floor."
"Did we play games in South Korea at that time, and the house signs were all in Korean. I couldn't understand them, so I searched room by room. Then I suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, and it turned into looking for the toilet..."
Speaking of this, Mo Chen's tone became a little helpless.
He really didn't want to remember it at all. Not because it's scary, but because—it's too embarrassing.
"The toilet I found at the time was broken, and the environment was a bit dark. Well, it was similar to what we saw on the day of our date. After I went in, I was a little scared to be honest, but I searched for a long time before I found that toilet. Give up." He said, and sighed again, "Is it normal to close the door for such a shameful thing like going to the toilet? After going to the toilet, I found that the door could not be opened. I am also very desperate..."
Wen Xi: "..."
Mo Chen: "You should be able to guess what happened afterwards - I fell ill, it was very serious, and I passed out immediately. My teammates thought I was just lost, and frantically called me, but unfortunately my phone was adjusted to vibrate, but it failed to vibrate me. Awake."
"They didn't find me until the game started, so of course I had to be a substitute."
"Actually, they said I was there, but because I wasn't there when I registered, I could only be absent."
"Uh, and then?" Wen Xi didn't know what kind of expression to show at the moment.
Having said all this, Mo Chen of course continued in a broken jar: "After the game in the morning, my teammates searched all over the place, and only then did I find me in a coma. Before the game in the afternoon, I had already woken up. But the mental state is not very good, so I also dove the afternoon game."
Wen Xi: "..."
Mo Chen said the word "pigeon" very chicly, but Wen Xi knew that things were not that simple.
His mental state at that time should not be "not very good", but "very bad". Otherwise, based on Wen Xi's understanding of Mo Chen, it is absolutely impossible for Mo Chen to give up playing unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Why not make the truth public?" Wen Xi asked.
Mo Chen laughed self-deprecatingly: "Should I make public the fact that I have claustrophobia, or make public the fact that I shut myself in the toilet because of my poor hands?"
Wen Xi was dumbfounded.
"Besides, if it's made public, do you think no one will scold me?" Mo Chen asked back, "Going to a dark and closed place even though I know I have claustrophobia—if this kind of truth is made public, I will only be scolded worse ? Since you will be scolded if you don’t make it public, why do you have to make it public?”
Wen Xi was speechless.
After the two remained silent for a while, Mo Chen said again: "I really need to be responsible for the loss in the finals." He said, "I was wrong from the beginning - I shouldn't go sideways to avoid fans, I shouldn't be alone People go to the preparation room, they should not go to the toilet in a potentially dangerous place."
Wen Xi pursed his lower lip, turned his head and looked ahead.
Although he didn't agree with Mo Chen's words, he didn't know how to refute, so he could only remain silent.
At the end of the day, it's been so long since that incident, it's pointless to discuss it anyway.
The focus is on the future.
Thinking of this, Wen Xi tentatively opened his mouth and asked something else: "Do your teammates know that you have claustrophobia?"
"I know." Mo Chen replied.
Wen Xi: "Did you find out after that incident, or did you know it from the beginning?"
If he knew from the beginning, then Wen Xi felt that Mo Chen's teammates were very problematic, and he didn't know whether to say they were big-hearted or vicious.
However, Mo Chen's answer was: "Afterwards."
After a pause, as if he knew what Wen Xi was worried about, he added lightly: "My teammates didn't do anything wrong, I was hiding something from them. But I thought it was okay, after all, I have a lot of claustrophobia I haven't had an episode in years. Even before that day, I thought I was simply terrified and loathe of dark, closed places."
Wen Xi thought of Mo Chen's appearance when he had an attack last time, it was not like he hadn't had an attack for many years.
It is estimated that Mo Chen's claustrophobia was really not that serious, but it suddenly aggravated because of the accident that happened on the first day of the global finals...
"Have you seen a doctor?" Wen Xi asked.
Mo Chen said "hmm": "I have been receiving treatment since I returned to China, and it has stabilized a lot."
Wen Xi: "Haven't you seen it before?"
"It wasn't that serious before..." Mo Chen smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, my illness won't affect my professional career, and it won't hold you back."
Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Mo Chen with some surprise.
This word... put it the other way around.
It would be great if he didn't drag Mo Chen back.
However, upon hearing this sentence, Wen Xi suddenly realized that his question was a bit deep, and he wondered if Mo Chen had misunderstood him: "Don't get me wrong... I'm not worried that your illness will affect the game."
Well, he admitted that when he first asked Mo Chen why he was absent from the game, he was really worried about it, but none of the subsequent questions were asked because of this worry...
"It's not about the competition, it's about me?" Mo Chen raised his eyebrows, "You care about me?"
Wen Xi's face blushed uncontrollably, and he didn't know how to react.
He thought for a while, it seems that he really asked the next series of questions because he was worried about Mo Chen himself...
Mo Chen glanced at Wenxi's reaction from the corner of his eye, raised the corner of his lower lip, and decided not to tease him: "That's right, I'm about to become teammates, it's normal to care about it."
These words gave Wenxi a step down, and he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and gave a cooperative "hmm".
"What else do you want to ask?" Mo Chen said, "It doesn't matter if you ask a little deeper, I will satisfy you."
... What kind of tiger-wolf word is this
Wen Xi was also convinced, thinking that Mo Chen really doesn't know how to use words.
In fact, Wen Xi no longer intends to dig deeper when asked to this extent.
Knowing that the incident was an accident and that no one intentionally harmed Mo Chen, his heart was already relieved.
However, he didn't intend to dig deep, someone insisted on him digging.
Mo Chen: "Don't you ask me why I have claustrophobia?"
Wen Xi was really curious, so he asked almost subconsciously: "Why?"
Mo Chen really answered him: "When I was very young, I sneaked into my mother's underground wine cellar for fun. The housekeeper didn't know, so he locked me in."
Wen Xi:! ! !
wait? ! Is this amount of information a bit large
Mo Chen glanced at Wenxi's reaction from the corner of his eye, and continued, "Not only is it dark and closed, but it's also cold. I've been locked up for a long time, almost frozen to death. It's said that it didn't last more than a day, but I always feel like I'm locked up." It feels like seven or eight days. Anyway, after that day, I will never dare to go to dark and closed places again."
Wen Xi: "... so miserable."
Mo Chen: "No matter how hard I try, I can't escape... I really thought I was going to die there."
Wen Xi looked up at the sky.
In fact, he really wants to complain now. The experience of being locked up in an underground wine cellar when he was a child is not something everyone can have.
To be exact, not everyone can have something like an underground wine cellar.
Butler...
Thinking of Mo Chen's operation of throwing deep water for him at every turn, well, Wen Xi knew that Mo Chen was really rich.
So he told him this, was he trying to imply something
Wen Xi sneaked a glance at Mo Chen, and Mo Chen glanced back at him, and then the two looked away almost at the same time, pretending that neither of them had glanced at the other.
But I have my own little Jiujiu in my heart.
Mo Chen: My family is super rich, come and hug my thigh!
Wen Xi: If you have the ability to show off your wealth, if you have the ability to support me!
—Well, of course, it is impossible to say such words that even oneself feel inferior to let the other party hear.
"Arrived."
"Ok?"
Wen Xi was a little drowsy at first, but when he heard Mo Chen say "here we are", he immediately cheered up and looked out the window.
The CLM club was even cooler than he had imagined. The entire architectural style was incompatible with the surroundings and was unique, so Wenxi saw it at a glance.
After Mo Chen stopped the car, Wen Xi opened the door and got out of the car.
At the same time, Ling Shuyi and others who had been waiting in the lobby also rushed out of the club one after another, eager to see what this newcomer who could make their captain look at him differently.
"Wow, so cute." Ling Shuyi saw Wenxi's hoodie at a glance, and the two round ears on the hood made people want to pinch.
"Just saw the back and you said it was cute?" Chen Wei just said it a second ago, and a second later, Wen Xi turned around, and he gasped, "So cute!"
Lan Yan couldn't help laughing out loud, while Chen Xiao gave Chen Wei a very disgusted look.
After Wen Xi got off the car, he stood there without moving. If he wanted to move, he just turned around and glanced at the club.
His heart is beating a little faster now, and he's quite nervous.
Especially seeing four monkeys at the entrance of the club... No, it was when four people were looking at themselves.
Soon, Mo Chen got out of the car.
After he got out of the car, he walked up to Wen Xi and patted him on the back lightly: "Let's go."
Wen Xi gave a "hmm" and obediently followed his footsteps.
At this time, Mo Chen's teammates and coaches were looking at them with impunity.
Not only look at, but also comment.
"Looking at the pace of the newcomer, who looks like a young daughter-in-law, I would say that he is the captain's lover?" Chen Wei said.
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes: "If you have the ability, make your voice louder so that Ah Chen can hear it."
"No, no, no..." Chen Wei hesitated.
"By the way, this newcomer..." The more Chen Xiao looked at it, the more he felt, "Why does it look familiar?"
For some reason, he always felt that he had seen this face somewhere before, but he always felt that it was very different from the one he saw at the time.
Well, Wen Xi in women's clothing is of course very different from now.
"What are you all doing at the door? Be a door god?" Mo Chen was speechless to these four people, as if he had never met newcomers.
The four of them almost followed Mo Chen's footsteps, passively retreated into the hall, their eyes kept on Wen Xi, as if they wanted to say hello but didn't dare.
Wen Xi was already nervous, but being watched by them made him even more nervous, he instinctively shrank behind Mo Chen, and then tentatively raised his hand to say hello: "Hello..."
"Ah, hello, hello!" Ling Shuyi was the first to react, and rushed forward to hold Wenxi's hand, which surprised Wenxi!
Mo Chen glared at Ling Shuyi, raised a hand to cover Ling Shuyi's, and opened it naturally, while doing so he did not forget to introduce to Wen Xi: "This is a kitten, Ling Shuyi .”
"Hi, my name is Wen Xi." Wen Xi withdrew his hand, and gave the energetic young man a friendly smile, "I saw you in the live broadcast of the league."
"Yeah, haha..." Ling Shuyi raised his hand and scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
League... He doesn't know how many times he landed into a box...
Ling Shuyi's attire today is very different from the day of the league match. He is dressed more casually, with a kind of lazy cat-like leisurely in the sunshine.
He is only 19 years old, but his height is not short at all, almost on the same level as Wen Xi.
"This is Lan Yan." Mo Chen continued to introduce to Wen Xi, while speaking, he put his arms around Wen Xi's waist, making him look at Lan Yan.
Wen Xi was caught off guard by the embrace, so that he lost his mind for a moment, and then he reacted and said "Hello" to Lan Yan.
Lan Yan replied "Hello" with a smile, and having learned his lesson, he didn't try to hold Wen Xi's hand.
Lan Yan's first impression of Wen Xi was quite gentle and refined, more like a literary person than an e-sports player.
"This is Chen Wei, and this is our coach Chen Xiao." The last two, Mo Chen, introduced together.
After Wen Xi said hello to the two respectively, he found that they looked alike, so he couldn't help asking, "Are you brothers?"
"Yes!" Chen Wei answered readily, "I am two years younger than my brother, but we joined CLM at the same time! He was also a regular player at the beginning, and he retired after playing for a year. Then he became the coach of CLM."
"Oh..." Wen Xi was a little surprised. He originally thought that the coach would be much older than the players, no matter in terms of age or seniority...
Chen Xiao: "Don't be pressured to talk to me. Although I am a coach, my main job is to collect and analyze intelligence and other tasks. The command and post-match review are all done by Ah Chen."
"A Chen?" Wen Xi repeated, subconsciously turning his head to look at Mo Chen.
He just thought the title was good, so he yelled it out smoothly. After yelling, he met Mo Chen's meaningful gaze, and then realized that something was wrong, and "coughed": "...Is it okay if I call you that? Seems too intimate?"
"No, call it whatever you want." Mo Chen smiled.
At this time, Wen Xi was so focused on paying attention to Mo Chen's expression that he didn't notice - Mo Chen's teammates and coach all showed horrified expressions the moment he laughed, as if they had seen something incredible.
Chen Wei opened his mouth for a long time before he realized it, bumped Chen Xiao who was beside him with his elbow, and mouthed "I won".
Chen Xiao gave him a contemptuous look.
Ling Shuyi noticed the small movements of the two, and felt that it was time to verify everyone's bet, so he tentatively asked Wen Xi: "Have you played professionally before?"
Wen Xi knew that he was asking this question, so he recovered from Mo Chen's smile, turned his head and looked at Ling Shuyi: "No."
Ling Shuyi, died.
Chen Wei went up: "How did you meet our captain? How long have you known each other?"
Wen Xi just wanted to answer, but before he could speak, Mo Chen pulled him to sit on the sofa: "You sit down first, I'll get you a glass of water."
His teammates and coach said he suffered a second scare!
Wen Xi looked at the back of Mo Chen walking towards the water dispenser, blinked his eyes, and after a while, he remembered to answer Chen Wei's question, and turned his head subconsciously.
This time, he actually saw the surprise on Chen Wei's face.
Wen Xi: "What's wrong?"
"No..." Chen Wei sat down opposite Wen Xi, "It's the first time our captain pours water for someone, it's quite unusual..."
"Huh?" Wen Xi instinctively turned his gaze back to Mo Chen, he really only poured him a glass of water and held it in front of him.
"Thank you." Wen Xi took the glass of water from him, and accidentally touched Mo Chen's hand, feeling like an electric shock.
Even though Mo Chen heard his teammate's "complaint", he didn't have the slightest intention to pour water for his teammate. After Wen Xi took the water, he sat down beside him.
Then his gaze stayed on Wen Xi's hand for a while, and he asked tentatively, "Did you wear it today?"
"What?" After Wen Xi took a sip of water, he was a little confused when he heard this question. Seeing that Mo Chen's eyes fell on his hand, he finally realized-oh, what is the question about the ring
Which unmarried man would go out wearing a ring every day!
Wen Xi was also speechless: "...it's inconvenient to play games while wearing it."
"That's right." Mo Chen said, his tone was very flat, but Wen Xi could hear a trace of disappointment from his words.
Then decided not to tease him.
"Here it is." He said, holding the paper cup in one hand, reaching into the neckline with the other hand, picking out a red string with his fingertips.
After he completely pulled the red rope out of his clothes, there was a uniquely shaped ring hanging from it.
It was the one Mo Chen gave him.
Mo Chen froze for a moment, then smiled with satisfaction.
Seeing that he saw it, Wen Xi stuffed the ring back into his clothes, pretending nothing happened.
But the eyes of the masses are discerning!
"Fuck!" Chen Wei was convinced, "You even gave me the ring, you're really good..." He decided to cut to the chase and asked, "Just tell me, what is the relationship between you two?"
Wen Xi was a little confused by this question—has he misunderstood something
Before he could think about how to answer, Ling Shuyi blurted out: "When did you get together?"
Wen Xi:
Chen Wei: "Where is the progress?"
Wen Xi:? ?
"Shut up." Finally, Mo Chen couldn't bear to interrupt their "interrogation", "clear out all the weird thoughts in your minds, today isn't Sunday, right? The newcomers don't need to train? "
Everyone gave Mo Chen a meaningful look - anxious? Was stepped on the tail
Chen Xiao looked down at his watch: "It will be 12 o'clock in half an hour, let's go eat first."
Mo Chen was stunned for a moment, then remembered that it was already lunch time.
He glanced sideways at Wenxi, his rebuttal instinct was suppressed, and he compromised: "Okay, let's go eat first."
However, when they actually arrived at the restaurant, other people found a seat in the lobby and sat down, but Mo Chen brought Wen Xi into the private room, the reason being: "It's too noisy outside, let's go in and eat."
Teammates & Coaches: ? ?
Does this reason dare to be more perfunctory? Talk like you haven't eaten in the lobby!
When Mo Chen dragged Wen Xi in, Chen Wei couldn't bear it anymore, patted the table and said, "Okay, I won! You all lost! Don't forget the breakfast for the next month!"
"You're betting on a lover?" Ling Shuyi objected, "I admit that the captain is a bit obsessed with sex, but seeing Wenxi's blank face, it doesn't look like he's dating the captain."
"I'm obsessed with sex..." Lan Yan couldn't laugh or cry, and really wanted to know what Mo Chen's reaction would be when he heard this word.
"That's enough, that's enough. I'm willing to bet. There are exactly four weeks in a month. Is it a problem for one person to be responsible for breakfast for a week?" Chen Xiao said.
Chen Wei still wanted to argue with reason, but hesitated for a while, and finally chose to accept his fate: "Okay, isn't it just a week's breakfast? Who can't afford it."
In this way, Mo Chen's breakfast for the next month will get√
At the same time, Wen Xi, who was sitting face to face with Mo Chen in the private room, also noticed something from the reaction of Mo Chen's teammates, and asked Mo Chen: "Do you treat me differently than you treat others?"
Mo Chen asked back: "Did it bother you?"
"No… "
"That's good." Mo Chen said, before Wen Xi could ask further, he ordered food from the waiter.
After he finished ordering, Wen Xi had already forgotten what he wanted to ask.
He tried to recall, but his thoughts wandered, and he was stunned for a while.
When he came back to his senses, Mo Chen was looking at him quietly with his head propped on one hand.
Wen Xi was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Mo Chen smiled: "It's nothing. I'll show you around after dinner and go back to the club."
Wen Xi let out a "hmm".
Mo Chen: "There are vacant rooms on the second floor, if you like, you can live here."
Wen Xi: "...Okay."
Wen Xi guessed, shouldn't he sign the contract before moving in
The place to live is mentioned so soon, how much does Mo Chen want him to live here
Well, of course Wen Xi would not have thought that Mo Chen cleaned up his room himself.
On the other side, the conversation between Mo Chen's teammates and the coach finally got a lot more serious.
"It's useless to have a good relationship with Ah Chen. E-sports depends on strength in the end." Chen Xiao said, scanning the faces of the three people one by one, and said what he really wanted to say, "Who will try it later?" he?"
"Try him?" Ling Shuyi didn't understand.
"I guess what I mean is to test his e-sports skills." Chen Wei translated for Chen Xiao, and then said, "I'll forget it, I can only make up the numbers in the double row and four rows, not heads-up."
"One-on-one is definitely going to be the kitten." Lan Yan said, "Chen Wei and I don't play solo queue very much."
So Chen Xiao looked at Ling Shuyi: "Okay, then I will leave it to you."
Ling Shuyi: "Wait?! You just decided like that? I don't want to lose face?"
Let him fight Wen Xi one-on-one? !
If you lose, you will lose face, but if you win, you may not be hammered to death by the captain!
Chen Wei patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and encouraged him: "Go, have a good journey."
