The five male protagonists must be my good brothers

Xu Sheng received the news while shopping, and found a nearby milk tea shop to deal with it. Remembering that Shixu didn't broadcast live today, he called people out to play.

When Shi Xu got out of the car, the sun was just right, and he lay drowsy by the window, almost falling asleep, and didn't see the inquiry sent from his mobile phone.

It was Shi Xu's first visit to the central shopping mall. This place had stood in City A for decades, and everyone in the area knew it, but it was unfamiliar to Shi Xu who had just arrived.

He turned around but couldn't find the milk tea shop that Xu Sheng had mentioned, and it didn't appear on the navigation, so he had no choice but to find a shop on the street and go in to inquire.

"Hello, is the taro ball milk tea shop near here? Excuse me." Facing the old man who was bowing his head and doing handicrafts, Shi Xu asked softly.

In addition to the big shopping mall, there are many small stores below the central shopping mall. Looking around, Shi Xu entered a wood carving shop with extremely exquisite decoration.

The storefront is quaint and looks like it has been around for a while. I don't know how many years I have been here.

The boss is an elderly gentleman, sitting by the door basking in the sun, his eyes are a little dazed, when he heard the sound, he squinted his eyes and looked over.

When he saw Shi Xu, who was drowsy at first, he cheered up and laughed: "Hmm... are you here? I've been so busy recently, I haven't seen you."

As he spoke, the wrinkles at the end of his eyes softened over the years, his tone was familiar, he straightened up, smiled and stuffed the gadgets in Shi Xu's hand: "Newly made, take it."

He was getting old, and after he finished what he wanted to say, he hesitated to reflect what Shi Xu said to him at the beginning, and he was confused: "Taro balls? Isn't that next to the school, why come here to look for it."

His voice was low and hoarse, with the unique kindness of an old man, Shi Xu was taken aback when he heard it.

For a moment, he wasn't sure if it was the old man who had admitted the wrong person, or if he knew Shi Xu from the past, his lips were slightly pursed, and he didn't speak for a while.

The young man hastily opened the door curtain and came out, holding the old man's arm: "Grandpa, you mistook the person again, he is a guest, not a classmate."

As he said, he scratched his head in embarrassment, looked towards Shixu and smiled with two sharp little canine teeth: "Oh, I'm sorry, please forgive me, my grandfather has not had a good memory these few years, and he always admits the wrong person..."

Shi Xu shook his head to show that he didn't care, bent his eyes, and handed over the stuffed handicraft: "It's okay, this is your thing."

The old man was in a daze, obviously knowing that he always made mistakes. At this time, he looked at Shixu and his grandson aggrievedly, and pushed Shixu's finger back, a little unwilling: "I didn't..."

Looking for approval, he looked over at Shi Shu: "You didn't admit your mistake, did you?" His serious appearance made it hard to refuse.

Shi Xu then gently shook his slightly aged fingers: "No."

The shopkeeper watched from the side, shook his head, looked a little sad, and smiled helplessly at Shi Xu: "Ham, it's okay, thank you for accompanying my grandpa, you can take the things, and give them as gifts."

As he said, he took the small pendant in Shi Xu's hand to pay the bill, and gave him a discount, laughing out two small canine teeth.

He gently rubbed his grandfather's gray hair for the last time, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but I just heard you ask about the taro ball milk tea shop?"

When Shi Xu turned his head and saw the old man who was smiling at him, his eyes softened, and he subconsciously said, "Yes, yes."

The owner laughed: "Then you are asking the right person. This milk tea shop used to be in front of No. [-] Middle School. It is so delicious that it has become a specialty. It was finally moved to the central shopping mall. I was one of the first people to know about it."

As he said, he raised his hand and pointed to an alley lined with shops: "That's it, it may not be easy to find for the first time, but the food is really delicious!"

Shi Xu wrote it down, thanked him softly, the shopkeeper walked away with a smile, and the light voices of him and the old man laughing could be heard behind him.

Shi Xu walked along the path he pointed for, and after walking for a while, he finally saw the milk tea shop that Xu Sheng had mentioned.

It's a very common brand, nothing special compared to other milk tea shops on the street, only the logo is round and looks very cute.

The light in the morning is still bright, but winter is not over, it is always a bit cold.

There was a halo of light hanging down from the sky, inexplicably, Shi Xu's gaze flickered.

For letting Shi Xu figure it out on his own, the manager wanted to kowtow and apologize after waking up.

There seemed to be tears in his always fierce tiger eyes: "I thought you used to study at University A, so you must know about this place. I forgot that you are not from City A. I'm sorry Shi Xu, forgive brother."

Shi Xu couldn't laugh or cry, but shook his head helplessly at him, silently remembering that he might not be from City A.

Xu Sheng ordered a cake for him guiltily, and after not feeling down for a while, he looked over excitedly.

"We now have the good news that we have been selected next to the peak." He pushed his glasses, his voice calmed down, trying to be reserved, but he couldn't hide the joy in it.

"What's the matter?" Shi Xu looked down at him cooperatively, his brown eyes were warm, like spring water flowing in a mountain stream.

When Xu Sheng met this gaze, his previous excitement came to fruition. He coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Do you know about the All-Star Game?"

The All-Star Game, the warm-up stage of the World League, the ranking is still secondary, but the traffic is definitely enough.

Those who can play are all the top traffic in the top e-sports clubs.

And the most recent All-Star Game was Miracle's home game.

Xu Sheng couldn't hide his excitement in his voice: "The designated live broadcast platform for the All-Star Game is star. As a reward for the Rising Star Program, the top five most popular anchors can also participate."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom is we here." I haven't had the chance to see a big scene for many years. Before this kind of game, the agent bought the ticket to watch it by himself. Now that he has the opportunity to watch it up close, his eyes are quite straightened.

In e-sports, strength speaks for itself. This is an opportunity that many famous stars do not get.

Shi Xu looked at him reassuringly, thought for a while, and asked, "Have you decided on the candidate?"

Xu Sheng showed him the roster for the Hundred Players Competition, and nodded, "Well, you and Miao Yu, and there are three other anchors who are ranked behind you in terms of popularity."

Shi Xu nodded thoughtfully, and was a little puzzled: "The fixed seats for the All-Star Game are divided into three groups. Judging by the number of people, they probably don't want to add us..."

As he counted seriously, Xu Sheng had already laughed and rubbed his head.

"Leave the three groups aside. How many years have passed? Speaking of which, you have stopped playing games since high school. The college entrance examination is hard, it's not easy."

"Now the competition system has been changed. In the past, there were a few players who played the game, and now there are a few more. Except for the most popular masters, they will also perform in the group stage. The rest of the voted players are full of scuffles."

"You are here to participate in this hundred-man melee. Don't underestimate it. Every year in this battle, all the ancient gods end, accidents happen frequently, and there are constant laughs. It is the best show."

"It's also this game. If you perform well, you can be assigned to the camera, which is the easiest way to get out of the circle. Look at the several popular players in the club now, all of them are out in this game."

Shi Xu nodded while listening, and wrote down the content carefully, his lips curled up involuntarily.As an e-sports player who has experienced difficulties, he is very willing to see this kind of situation where a hundred flowers bloom.

When Xu Sheng saw his attitude, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. He had love and respect in his heart, and he performed not only for money and fame, but it was actually quite good.

This is not to say that it is bad for money and fame, but the love of performance, after all, there is no real love to resonate.

After drinking the milk tea, Xu Sheng patted his butt and left, saying that he wanted to choose a birthday gift for his girlfriend, and let Shi Xu hang out on the street by himself.

Shi Xu looked helplessly at the freshly made strawberry cake on the table. He was not too hungry, so he rested his chin and thought about it, and asked the shopkeeper to pack it for him.

Then, carrying the small cake, he really went out to stroll around the mall in earnest.

Shi Xu has experienced many worlds, and his personality has been honed to be very peaceful. However, due to the self-saving system of the tool man, his mentality is always good, and he does not lack love for the new world.

The Central Mall is huge, so he went in for a stroll, had a meal, and read a book on the library floor on the top floor, and it was already around afternoon when he came out.

Unexpectedly, the originally sunny day turned gloomy, revealing a light blue rain curtain.

It was also the signal that it was going to rain, which reminded Shi Xu that when he was packing his things, there seemed to be no umbrellas in the dormitory.

Shi Xu turned back silently.

I bought an umbrella, and the supermarket had a promotion, and I gave away another one, but the design is cute and eccentric, and there are small flowers, which seem to be for children.

When Shi Xu went out, he waited for the bus. It was about to rain, and there were many people waiting for the bus. He missed several of them, so he just wandered around in the shops under the mall.

Unconsciously seeing the woodcarving shop when he was asking for directions in the morning, Shi Xu pursed his lips and smiled in his pupils, remembering the familiar appearance of the old man telling him that you are here, he thought for a moment, and walked in.

The owner of the store was not outside, and the old man was not sitting at the door. There was only a slender and tall figure with his back facing the shelf in the store, with a thin waist and a strong sense of strength.

He raised his hand to pick up a wooden handicraft on the shelf, with slender fingers that looked like white jade.

Shi Xu didn't know why, looking at this scene, he was inexplicably lost for a while.

When he came back to his senses, the owner of the finger had already turned his head and looked at him indifferently. The glassy gray eyes seemed to be separated by a layer of mist and rain, making it difficult for Shi Xu to see clearly.

The identity of the visitor also surprised Shi Xu, his eyes widened in surprise, and hesitantly said: "Mr. Xie?"

After finishing speaking, Shi Xu blinked, wondering for a while whether it was right to expose the identity of the big boss, and whether it would make people feel offensive and disgusting.

There was an apology on his face.

Xie Ran didn't see it, he was restraining himself so that his sight would not scare the other party.

It's time.

With just a look, a tone or a word, he can recognize Shi Xu's identity, as long as the other party is willing to appear.

Xie Ran is actually not a weak person. On the contrary, he is cold, indifferent, and unkind. It's just that the timing is different. Just one look can make all his defenses fall apart.

He even spoke slowly for a moment, so that no one could hear the abnormal hoarseness in his voice.

The voice was still low: "Well, you know me?"

He could hear the strangeness in Shi Xu's voice, but it was not the time to delve into it.

He didn't know what Shi Xu had experienced, and what the departed soul had done to him, but it was enough for Xie Ran to treat him with extreme care just because he could appear.

Shi Xu judged the friendly meaning Xie Ran wanted to express in his tone, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As a person with a special status, it is not easy for him to meet Xie Ran by chance. I have to say that Shi Xu doesn't want the other party to have a bad impression of him.

When the misunderstanding was resolved, Shi Xu's eyes subconsciously brightened, he bent his eyes, and said with a smile: "Yes, I know you, I am an artist under Xie's banner."

Xie Ran nodded to show he knew.

When meeting for the first time, it's not easy to get acquainted. Shi Xu didn't rush to get close, but just took a symbolic look at the products on the shelf, and prepared to go out with a small umbrella.

Before leaving, he looked at Xie Ran as unobtrusively as possible, and said in a gentle voice, "Mr. Xie, look first, I'm leaving first."

Xie Ran didn't expect him to walk so fast, he was stunned, his indifferent expression could hardly be maintained, he looked at Shi Xu's leaving direction without blinking.

No...don't say anything more?
