[Full-time] [Shoba] involuntarily

A few words. "

"...Speaking of which, you are actually quite concerned about the situation of Excellent Era recently, right?" Su Mucheng could clearly see that every time after watching Excellent Era's games, Ye Xiu would smoke a lot.

"Yeah, this is Xingxin's formidable rival, I'm so worried." Ye Xiu returned to Sun Xiang in no hurry, minimized the dialog box, and manipulated Lord Grim to sway in the online game.

More than that.Su Mucheng hesitated to speak.

"I'm going to play with Guoguo for a while." Su Mucheng stood up, then turned around as if thinking of something, "Actually... Sun Xiang may be different from what everyone thinks."

"How to say?"

"It happened a long time ago..." Su Mucheng told Ye Xiu what happened in the cafeteria last year in a few words.

Su Mucheng's simple words didn't mean Ye Xiu couldn't feel her humiliation at that time.Ye Xiu rarely gets angry, but it's not that he doesn't never get angry. Mucheng, who is more emotional than his own sister, is obviously one of his reverse scales.Ye Xiu's knuckle-boned hands tightly gripped the mouse, as if it took all his strength to suppress the urge to rush directly to the opposite side and drag those people out to beat them up.He knew that Mucheng would definitely have a hard time in Excellent Era, but he never thought that Liu Hao and the others would fail to such an extent. He began to regret that he didn't let Mucheng forcefully terminate the contract.

"Don't be angry, I don't care, I have nothing to say to them anyway." It was rare for Su Mucheng to see Ye Xiu angry, so she quickly comforted, "Okay, okay, it's you, I really can't let Jia go. If you are alive, just talk to Sun Xiang, he might be able to make sense - I'll go first."

Ye Xiu looked down at the screen, calmed down for a long time, and then returned the message:

"Are you well?"

Sun Xiang on the other side did not expect that after waiting for a long time, the first sentence Ye Xiu replied was to care about his body. The originally mixed emotions disappeared inexplicably, leaving only a sour feeling in his heart.

"I'm not sick." Sun Xiang said truthfully.

"Sure enough..." Ye Xiu replied.Sure enough, it was the high-level decision, and now Excellent Era is really hopeless.

In fact, this was not true. Even if Sun Xiang played, it wouldn't change anything. Ye Xiu didn't expect that there was still a little bit of luck left in him. It wasn't like him.He thought that he had already calmly accepted the foregone conclusion of Excellent Era's elimination, hadn't their Xingxin's response already been conceived?

Sun Xiang saw this sentence sure enough, felt a little unwilling and aggrieved, and typed to explain: "Tao Xuan refused."

Ye Xiu said seriously: "I know, but it shouldn't be like this. Your tactical awareness has improved a lot in the past few games, and you can feel it yourself. It's the time when you need a lot of high-level practice."

But that being said, Ye Xiu also knew that the higher-ups had made such a decision on this matter, so it was a foregone conclusion.The ace player of a team looks at the scenery, but in fact he will never be able to overwhelm the boss in terms of status - isn't he himself a bloody example.

Ye Xiu wanted to smoke again, but the girls were still not far away. If he dared to light a spark, he would be scolded.

The two of them faced the screen in silence for a while, Sun Xiang sighed, feeling that he was only deeply tired, and slowly typed out a sentence with both hands: "I can't help it."

Yes, there is no way.

Ye Xiu thought for a while, put on the earphones, and clicked on "Voice Call".

It took a long time to pick it up: "Ye Xiu???" His tone was like a ghost.

"Do you have an account in the tenth district? Enter the correction field and play 2v2 with you for a while."

Sun Xiang really did have it. It was the account he created in the Xingxin Internet Cafe when he exchanged for the first time. He also practiced leveling in his spare time out of some mentality.

"'Melancholy kitty cat', add it."

"..." Sun Xiang felt a little internally hurt.

It was already late when Su Mucheng came back from Happy, but she saw that the lights in the training room were still on from afar.She was a little surprised, but she was too lazy to meddle in her own business. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the light snap off, and a tall figure came out of the training room.

The moonlight shone through the window, and the teenagers in the corridor seemed to be covered with a layer of soft light, which seemed a little different from usual.

It's Sun Xiang, he's serious about training.Su Mucheng looked up at his face in the dark, thinking that it's no wonder Tao Xuan would like him, he's both strong and good-looking, she has to admit that Sun Xiang has the potential to become famous in the circle of glory.

Sun Xiang lingered by the window for a while before leaving. He didn't see Su Mucheng flashing by in the courtyard, but was fascinated by what Ye Xiu said just now:

"It can be seen that you have worked hard to change, but there is something wrong with your fundamental concepts." It was that person's usual lazy tone, but Sun Xiang knew he was serious.

"You cooperate on the surface, but the mentality is still like 'I want to win so I have to cooperate with my teammates', so it is difficult for you to grasp the meaning of the initiative and sacrifice of cooperation. They are your teammates, not pedals. Think about it yourself Right. Next time you watch the replay, try to take a look at it from the perspective of each player, it should help you."

"Yo, I accidentally said too much. Besides, I'm surrendering to the enemy. After this round, I'm off. The boss of Excellent Dynasty is still waiting for me to grab it."

Even the man's usual trash talk was memorized by Sun Xiang word by word. Sun Xiang felt like he was in a daze. Even when he went back to the dormitory and lay on the bed, Ye Xiu's voice was the only thing in his head.

From the remnant snow on the broken bridge to the spring dawn on Su Causeway, and from hearing the oriole in the willow waves to the wind and lotus in Quyuan, the four seasons have turned half in the blink of an eye.The champion of the eighth season was won by the newly promoted giant Samsara. Zhou Zekai's convincing and strong performance gave him a vague "Glory No.1" posture.

But all of this had nothing to do with Excellent Era, which was out early. It was like a declining old clan, ruthlessly abandoned by the torrent of the new era.

But amidst the sadness, the news of Xiao Shiqin's transfer stirred up a thousand waves, and gave the long-disappointed Excellent Era fans a hard injection.

Sun Xiang finally understood what Tao Xuan was trying to sell before, and his mood also jumped for joy: Liu Hao changed Xiao Shiqin, can you be unhappy!

What made the higher-ups even more satisfied was that the new vice-captain was very good, and it didn't take long for him to handle both the captain and the team members very well. Sun Xiang didn't feel repulsive like the high-ups had secretly worried about, and the entire team was in a good state. progress.

From Sun Xiang's point of view, Xiao Shiqin was gentle and gentle, and when he arranged tactics, he was incomparably subtle in killing and making decisive decisions.

When Tao Xuan called him and Xiao Shiqin out tonight, Sun Xiang was still thinking about how to ask Xiao Shiqin about a certain tactical issue that he had never understood, but at the same time, he wanted to appear to be very knowledgeable and awesome.

It wasn't until he walked into the gate of Xingxin Internet Cafe that he realized something was wrong: "Huh? What is this for?"

Tao Xuan didn't answer, Xiao Shiqin looked bewildered, obviously being kept in the dark.

A network manager they didn't know sent a message to them and replied: "The lady boss asked you to go up by yourself."

Sun Xiang went up behind him. Of course he still remembered what Xingxin Internet Cafe was, so he wasn't too surprised to see Ye Xiu and others when he opened the door, but the structure inside was quite different from what he remembered. It also exceeded his expectations.

Ye Xiu obviously didn't expect these three people to come in, so he was stunned.

On the contrary, Tang Rou spoke bluntly: "Ah, I remember, you are that friend of Ye Xiu's?" She was handsome and skilled, and she played several Glory games with her.This was Tang Rou's first impression of Sun Xiang.Later, she saw this person manipulating One Autumn Leaf in the video, and after hearing Ye Xiu's explanation, she matched up with the real person.

Tao Xuan's prepared sentence, "Is this your training room? It's done well." The taunting beginning was abruptly stalked back: "Ye Xiu's friend? Who is Ye Xiu?"

"No one." Ye Xiu paused and returned to Tao Xuan.

Tao Xuan looked at "Ye Qiu" and then at Sun Xiang for no apparent reason.

Wei Chen rolled his eyes furiously, and said in a teasing tone: "Yes, Ye is not ashamed, when did you go deep into the enemy's position?!"

Sun Xiang didn't know who this uncle was, and he didn't know how to answer these words, so he could only be as quiet as a chicken.

What does it mean to go deep into enemy positions? ?Tao Xuan continued to be in a daze.

In the end it was Xiao Shiqin who broke the awkward silence. He frowned and pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and greeted him in a very uncertain tone, "...Senior Ye Qiu?"

"Well, Xiao Xiao can sit wherever you want. Sun Erxiang also sits." Ye Xiu greeted, thinking that Tao Xuan was a piece of air.

The atmosphere in the training room gradually came alive, and Sun Xiang sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking quite at ease.

There was a mysterious and harmonious atmosphere in front of him, and Tao Xuan continued to be confused: What's wrong, is it my way to open the door?

10. Chapter 10

Before leaving tonight, Tao Xuan and his group were called out by Qiao Yifan, and the Internet cafe suddenly fell into chaos.Immediately afterwards, a bunch of messy things happened, and by the time Sun Xiang completely escaped from the clutches of fans and survived Tao Xuan's torture, he lay down on the bed exhausted physically and mentally, the hour hand had already pointed to eleven o'clock.

That fellow Ye Xiu!Sun Xiang put all the blame on someone, and excitedly opened QQ to explode:

"Is it you, a shameless old man, who ordered Qiao Yifan?! Xiao Shiqin and I were almost eaten by fans!"

"You really ate it, do you know!! When I came back, my T-shirt was fucking torn off!!"

"Also, Tao Xuan keeps asking what is the relationship between us, what should I say?! Shit!"

……

Ye Xiu clicked on the frantically beating QQ, and as expected, it was full of Sun Xiang's news.In fact, the two haven't sent messages to each other for a long time, but now that Sun Xiang bombarded a bunch of them, Ye Xiu didn't feel it was abrupt, as if the blank time in between didn't bring any lag to the relationship between the two. stuffed.

"Are you all gone, Mr. Sun Xiang?"

"No!! Just one corner was torn off!" Sun Xiang in front of the screen had a suspicious blush on his face.

"Then it seems that the quality of your clothes is not good."

"You thought it was you who bought a bunch of the same street stalls?" Sun Xiang thought of Ye Xiu's horrible wardrobe.

"Yes, yes, Sun Xiang's trendy boy is full of famous brands." Anyway, as an old man, he is definitely not used to that style.

"Hey! What on earth should I say to Tao Xuan?"

"It's not that simple. Let's just say that he chased me to PK every day in the online game. As a result, he inevitably developed an endless stream of admiration towards his senior." After posting, Ye Xiu laughed to himself.

"I rely on you, Ye Xiu, you are shameless!!!" After typing the words, Sun Xiang felt familiar, and he had the demeanor of a certain Huang swordsman.

"It's not admiration, could it be admiration?"

……you are vicious.Sun Xiang felt that there was a big gap between him and Ye Xiu in this respect, so he decided not to return.

Seeing that Sun Xiang didn't reply for a long time, Ye Xiu thought he must have been bullied, so he sent it again:

"I didn't expect you to be sensitive when you are like this. Don't worry, it's not a big deal. You just say that you have become acquainted with PK a few times, and you can't be considered a friend, and then follow your usual style with Tao Xuan. You must beat him." The determination of the 'Great Demon King Ye Qiu' has been fulfilled."

"Oh." Sun Xiang's reply this time was extremely concise, and he just felt that the phrase "not a friend" was not pleasing to the eye.

"Mucheng is leaving. Xiao Shiqin has just arrived, and you are the only cash cow in Excellent Era. Tao Xuan still has to support you. You, just remember to be careful." Although it is difficult for you It's a bit high, Ye Xiu thought so, so he decided to tell him in other words, "It's good for you to listen to Xiao Shiqin."

"Of course I know that. Isn't he one of the four great tactical masters?"

"Yo, so you also have times to convince others." It seems that this junior who always looked like the only one in heaven and earth has really changed.

Sun Xiang was speechless: "What kind of image do I have in your heart?"

Ye Xiu remembered a joke he saw on the forum by chance, and quickly replied, "I want to drink the image of six walnuts."

"Ye Xiu!!!"

"Speaking of which, that brother is not only one of the four masters of tactics, he is also known as the textbook of glory. Why haven't you convinced me?"

"you???"

(typing...)

Ye Xiu waited patiently, and when he saw someone jumping out from the other side, he said, "You are a hooligan, a bandit, a shameless scum!!!"

"Hahahahahaha!!" Ye Xiu laughed so wickedly that everyone in Xingxin gathered to look at his screen.

Several people were delighted to see it, and Wei Chen even said: "The kid just told the truth, he has a future, he has a future!"

"Okay, all of you, go to bed if you want to sleep, and follow me to grab the boss in the online game after midnight - Tao Xuan is not here to play, it is a demonstration."

"Ah? Demonstration? Where is the demonstration?" Bao Rongxing was sincerely puzzled. He really didn't see it, thinking that the three of them were here to play around.

Everyone laughed together again, and Tang Rou took out a package while making jokes: "By the way, when I picked up the courier during the day, I saw that one was yours, so I just took it. I forgot before." He threw it over where Xiu was sitting.

"Don't, don't!!" Ye Xiu hurriedly stopped her, "This is a valuable item."

"Just you? And valuables?" Wei Chen sneered mercilessly.

Ye Xiu opened the package in front of everyone, and it turned out to be the latest iPhone.

The latest model has just been launched, and most of them are American versions. The one in Ye Xiu's hands is still a high-end version. Chen Guo remembers that it is almost tens of thousands: "You made a fortune?"

"My brother gave it to me, it's useless for you to be envious." Ye Xiu shook his phone.

"Who is envious." Chen Guo rolled her eyes, "I feel sorry for your brother, and I have such a brother."

Then everyone was concerned about how Ye Xiu, an old man, finally decided to embrace the modern society.

"There's no reason. Since President Ye at home mentioned it, I'll let him buy it." Ye Xiu continued to show off his younger brother in a fancy way.

Eating soft rice (?) is so taken for granted that everyone in Xingxin is too lazy to complain.

After arguing for a while, everyone still remembered the serious business. Several late sleepers sat back in their seats to contribute to Team Xingxin's construction. Ye Xiu sent another message to Sun Xiang before completely throwing himself into the arms of the Goddess of Glory:

"I bought a mobile phone, so send me your phone number."

With the summer break of cicadas and watermelons passing, the ninth season of the league kicks off, and the challenge competition is also in full swing.With Excellent Era as a behemoth and Team Xingxin, which has been hyped up online, this year's challenge is bound to attract a lot of attention.Discussions about whether Ye Qiu, the retired master of Excellent Era, will make a comeback, and whether he will be on Team Xingxin have intensified.

Tao Xuan asked Sun Xiang several times on the sidelines if he knew the inside story, but Sun Xiang didn't want to deal with Xingxin's false news and couldn't figure it out, so he always answered that he didn't know.

9 month.

Excellent Era officially entered the training rhythm of the past, and happily chopped vegetables in the challenge.

10 month.

Xingxin has a good momentum. After training, Sun Xiang often watches their game videos with Xiao Shiqin.

"Xiao Sun seems to... pay special attention to Senior Ye?" In fact, the whole Excellent Era paid too much attention, but Xiao Shiqin could tell that Sun Xiang's emotions were different from others.

"Yeah." Sun Xiang didn't want to talk about it.

11 month.

"Small things, let me ask you, if you have always hated someone, and one day you suddenly find that you don't hate someone, what is that?"

"Don't hate it anymore? That's reconciliation, right? Are you friends?"

Just, are you friends...

12 month.

"Small things, I didn't think there was any difference in the AB switch you mentioned in today's game?"

"The opponent is indeed relatively weak, and I can't fully express my thinking. In this way, I will re-simulate it for you, and cut these two lanes first after the start..."

1 month.

"That's roughly the case. Everyone performed very well this time. Let's continue training. The club has a New Year's party tonight. ——Team Sun, let's practice a few more times alone." After the replay ended, Xiao Shiqin pushed his glasses on Everyone in Jiashi said.

2 month.

As soon as Sun Xiang entered the convenience store, he bumped into Ye Xiu who came to buy cigarettes.In fact, such coincidences have happened many times. Excellent Era and Xingxin are just across the road, so the chances of the players encountering each other by chance are quite high.

"Why are you still wearing this coat?" Sun Xiang took a can of chewing gum and complained to Ye Xiu.

"I have many clothes of the same style, and it's not like you don't know."

"Cut, forget it if you're lazy."

The two walked out of the convenience store one after the other. Before crossing the road, Sun Xiang suddenly turned around and said, "Hey, Ye Xiu, I will definitely defeat you!"

"Oh, I'll wait."

……

Whether it's Sun Xiang or Ye Xiu, they are all busy in their own Glory World without distractions, and any other emotions seem insignificant against the background of the coming rain.

But some things are like planting a seed. Even if it has never been discovered because it grows secretly in the soil, it does not mean that it does not exist.One day, it will break out of the ground, prosper and grow, and even eventually become a towering tree, which will surprise the unintentional sower.

11. Chapter 11

In a blink of an eye, it is April, Qingming, one of the 24 solar terms.As if deliberately confirming the phrase "there is a lot of rain during the Qingming Festival", the originally cool weather started to drizzle in the morning.

Xingxin Internet Cafe.

"Huh? Both Ye Xiu and the proprietress have gone out?" An Wenyi felt strange that the Internet cafe hadn't seen these two people yet.

"Well, the two of them and Mu Mu go to the Nanshan Cemetery every year on Tomb-sweeping Day," Tang Rou replied.

"Oh." An Wenyi nodded and went to training. He never asked about other people's private affairs.

Nanshan Cemetery is located in the suburbs. It is an ordinary cemetery. The only advantage it can boast is its cleanliness. It is completely different from the famous Nanshan Cemetery near the Jade Emperor Mountain in the West Lake. It can be regarded as a scenic spot. It is said that only local model workers and martyrs are eligible. Apply for admission.

It's quite interesting. In this day and age, even cemeteries are picky and overcrowded.

Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, and Chen Guo got out of the car, shuttled among the plain tombstones, and then parted ways at the corner as usual.

This drizzle only fell after the three of them went out, and only Su Mucheng carefully brought an umbrella in advance.Three people under the big transparent umbrella are pushing back.

"You two take the umbrella. My father happens to have a tree there, and it's quite big." Chen Guo pushed the umbrella back into Ye Xiu's hand without any explanation.

The burnt yellow paper and fragments of ghost coins fluttered in the wind, and the thick smoke that hadn't dissipated slightly choked the eyes.

Throwing the last bundle of ghost coins into the fire, Ye Xiu said with a smile: "Mu Qiu, your living expenses are becoming more and more extravagant every year, you can buy several apartments down there, is there any pretty girl you want to follow?" you?"

Su Mucheng, who was standing aside, chuckled lightly: "Don't just talk about him, Ye Xiu, how did you plan on this?"

After putting out the fire, Ye Xiu turned his head and looked at Su Mucheng suspiciously: "What?"

Su Mucheng blinked: "It's just... my brother has been gone for so many years, you don't plan to...?"

Or how could it be said that girls are sensitive by nature? Ye Xiu and Su Muqiu didn't understand the matter back then, but Su Mucheng knew it all the time.

"Ah... this." Ye Xiu helped the crooked red candle, but didn't say anything more.

Ye Xiu's sexual orientation is a bit special.

Apart from Mucheng, everyone in his family knew about this.Don't get me wrong, he really didn't mean to announce his sexual orientation to the world, and he was to blame for being poor-mouthed—at that time, his younger brother Ye Qiu had just resumed contact with him, and the phone calls went to Excellent Era's front desk, and he tried to persuade him to go home. He played Tai Chi: "I know, I know, when I retire, as long as my parents don't fork me out, I won't leave."

Ye Qiu hurried back to his parents and missed him, why would he drive him away.Then Ye Xiu said: "That's hard to say. You have a girlfriend, and they must focus on blind dates for me every day. Then I can't hide the fact that I like men for a long time."

Ye Qiu fell into a long, long silence, probably thinking about the ultimate question of who I am, where I am, where I came from and where I am going.

Ye Qiu is a good brother. After thinking about it, he felt that sooner or later his parents should know about it. Instead of waiting for that unreliable bastard brother to return home and make the world upside down, he might as well be the first to poke it out, so as to give parents more buffer.

Sure enough, after that phone call, the family stopped urging Ye Xiu to go home, and it was not until he announced his retirement that they slowly regained contact.

After being silent for a while, seeing Su Mucheng's complexion getting worse and worse, Ye Xiu quickly said, "No, Mucheng, don't think about it, Mu Qiu and I really didn't want to guard you for ten years. At that time Ah, both me and Mu Qiu are too small, such a small world is enough to be filled with glory."

Yes, because they are young, there are still thousands of possibilities for the inexplicable love, they are not in a hurry when they are ignorant, they just think that the days are still long.When I signed with Excellent Era, I felt that I was completely overwhelmed. A great future is ahead, important people are by my side, and I just enjoy it slowly.

Who knew that God likes to play tricks on people so much, saying that the word regret is too light.

"But..." Su Mucheng hesitated to speak.

Ye Xiu thought but turned a corner: "Mucheng, why did you suddenly ask about this? Could it be... you have something wrong recently?"

Su Mucheng choked.

"No way? Is there really something wrong?? Have you met someone recently..." Ye Xiu carefully thought about where the "pig" came from to push his big cabbage.

"There is nothing to say before the horoscope is written, let's talk about you today!"

"Damn, it won't be Mo—"

"Don't change the subject!!"

Girls don't have face, since Su Mucheng covered her tightly, Ye Xiu didn't insist on asking.

After the interruption, Su Mucheng showed that worried expression again: "...My brother and I both hope you can be happy."

Ye Xiu smiled: "Look at what you said, others thought something was wrong with me after hearing it. I am honored and happy, and nothing else matters."

Even so, Su Mucheng was still very worried about him.The Glory League has come to this year, and even their golden generation is about to become a veteran. Han Wenqing is a spectacle, let alone Ye Xiu?

Sexual orientation can't be changed, and she knows Ye Xiu's temperament well, if he doesn't love him, he will never delay innocent girls, if he doesn't find someone like this, it will be too lonely when he gets older.

The rain beat stubbornly on the big transparent umbrella, and the sound was a bit muffled.

Ye Xiu couldn't help smoking a cigarette, looked up at the umbrella, and said, "After all these years, I've gotten used to it."

After a while, the two saw that Chen Guo had recovered and was waiting for them at the intersection.Ye Xiu patted Su Muqiu's tomb in the same manner as he patted Su Muqiu's shoulder when he was young and energetic:

"Let's go! I'll come to see you after I win the challenge."

People who have never been to Hangzhou may be deceived by the praise of "heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below", thinking that Hangzhou is a gentle place that is like spring all the year round.In fact, the scenery in Hangzhou is really beautiful, but the weather is a real suffocating operation.June and July are hot together, and in the most exaggerated weeks, it can reach [-] degrees every day without panting, and it has long been promoted to "one of the four major furnaces in the country".

No, it's not yet June, and the tail of spring is already out of reach. The rising temperature adds to the fire in the already lively Xiaoshan Gymnasium. The life-and-death confrontation between Excellent Era and Xingxin is indeed grand.

"Nervous?" Xiao Shiqin patted Sun Xiang's shoulder.

"How is it possible?" Sun Xiang said no, but his body was trembling slightly honestly.

Wearing Excellent Era team uniforms, like warriors about to go to the battlefield, they encouraged each other and walked to the end of the passage.

Sun Xiang raised his head and was the first to walk from the darkness into the noisy and restless light with a fearless gesture.

The dust settled in the group arena.

Su Mucheng won Sun Zheping beautifully. Ye Xiu couldn't tell if he was happy or sad, but he was relieved.

Tao Xuan's move made him feel guilty.

Unexpectedly, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the girl kept saying "The fate with Excellent Era is over." She broke up with Excellent Era on the spot, and even sat in Xingxin's player bench in a grandiose manner. .

"You." Ye Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and expressed welcome with everyone, giving her a seat.

Sun Xiang was still preoccupied with the previous 0.03%, but now he was abruptly dragged out by the uproar, and he was stunned for a long time before he realized what amazing move Su Mucheng had made.

Sun Xiang suddenly recalled what Su Mucheng said in Excellent Era's meeting room:

"He is a professional player, very professional. All his persistence is dedicated to glory and to the field. Do you think that he will come back for revenge because you treat him like this? You are wrong, he He came back only because this place is glory, and he confronted you, but because you were so unbelievable that you were able to be reduced to the Challenger League."

Su Mucheng said it while looking at everyone present, but Sun Xiang just felt that the scrutiny was firmly fixed on his head, which made him feel ashamed and indignant.Joined the wealthy team, got the god-level account he dreamed of, but everything went completely out of the script he thought he had.

"He faces you, it has nothing to do with you being Excellent Era, and it has nothing to do with you forcing him to retire, it's just because the competition system is like this. So Manager Cui, don't worry, he won't use his comeback gimmick to say anything about Excellent Era Story, because in his eyes, you are just an opponent, and there is no essential difference from any player team he has defeated along the way. It is nothing more than your strength, so he will be more serious and active. Just face it."

Sun Xiang felt that people like Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, even if they had nothing to do with the competition, had a kind of shining point that he couldn't explain but was convincing.And this quality is what he doesn't have now.

But he wants to have it.

12. Chapter 12

Lost.

If his team awareness is stronger, and if he pays enough attention, the anti-tank cannon and □□ he can help to format the battle, and the holy recovery technique with the cold hands can be interrupted...

If, if... It's a pity that there is never an if in the world.

In this team match, he not only got a good glimpse of Ye Xiu's true strength, but also saw the strength of Xingxin's rookies whom he had never paid attention to.

Ridiculous, he felt ridiculous for his former self.And blind arrogance always has a price to pay.

"I told you earlier that Glory is not a game for one person. Now, Sun Xiang...what do you think?" Lord Grim landed in the Holy Recovery Technique, and a message was sent on the public channel.

Sun Xiang didn't want to give up yet, he was thinking of going to bite his little hand and deal with it first.But when he saw Ye Xiu's words, all his fighting spirit disappeared in an instant, and he knew that he would never have another chance.

"Yes...Glory, it's not a game for one person..." After typing back this sentence on the channel, Sun Xiang silently withdrew from the battle without typing gg.

Try your best to make a carefree appearance to cover up your embarrassment.

Seeing that Sun Xiang hadn't come out by himself, Xiao Shiqin was a little worried, and ran to knock on his door: "Sun Xiang, let's go."

"..."

Excellent Era's players' seats were dead silent, facing the returning teammates, no one stepped forward to comfort them.It was their boss, Tao Xuan, who rushed in front of Sun Xiang like a mighty dragon breaking through an army: "The game is not over yet, why are you quitting?!"

Sun Xiang was not at all surprised by Tao Xuan's questioning, he just felt that everything was so far away from him, the roar seemed to come from another world, the buzzing sound was not real at all.

"Can't win." He shook his head.

"How do you know if you haven't fought yet? Even if you can't win, as long as you kill one person, you can at least draw and drag into overtime!" Tao Xuan roared.

"It can't be done, because glory is not a game for one person." He murmured repeatedly into the air, and he didn't know who he wanted to tell.

Since Sun Xiang's debut in Yueyun, how many people have said bluntly or implicitly that they hoped that he would mature, but he always felt that he was obviously improving and maturing all the time.But people really have to meet a certain moment in their life that is hard enough to understand, and then they can understand what maturity is, and the price of maturity... How much is it.

Returning to Excellent Era with his exhausted body, Tao Xuan could feel the atmosphere of panic rushing towards his face, so strong that it could almost materialize, making him unable to breathe.But this time he did not respond in a timely and appropriate manner to various interest crises as he is familiar with.

In the meeting room, he said weakly to all the staff members: "Tomorrow morning Excellent Era will announce that it will enter the news silence, at most half a month, I hope everyone can stand on the last shift. Those who have a way out find their way out, and the clubs with no way out like this Bian can also help to set up a line. As for specific matters such as salary and contract termination, I will give you an answer when Manager Cui is in better health."

Tao Xuan was a little bit speechless, he looked deeply at the Excellent Era team emblem on the other wall of the conference room - on the fiery red maple leaf, there was the invincible spear and three stars symbolizing the three consecutive championships.

It turned out that the dazzling original intention had always been here, where he could see it every day, but... was forgotten by him.

"...I hereby promise that the termination of the contract will not treat everyone badly. Now I have to deal with the professional players... the meeting is over."

For a moment, it seemed that everyone in Excellent Era was packing their luggage and rushing to leave. The once wealthy Jia Era was now like a huge ship about to sink, and the people on board rushed to abandon the ship and escape.But who can be blamed, its captain is the first person who chooses to give up.

Sun Xiang watched the people hurrying in and out in the corridor, feeling that he was out of place and at a loss.Su Mucheng must have gone to celebrate with Xingxin's people, and Xiao Shiqin, his only friend in Excellent Era, has disappeared at this moment.

He wandered aimlessly in the building, obviously there were familiar scenes everywhere, but he already felt strange.

However, he soon discovered another person who was out of place. While others were busy looking for their own futures, he was still sitting silently in the training room, with the same posture as before.

Qiu Fei, an apprentice taught by Ye Xiu.

Sun Xiang deeply felt the emotions of "shame" and "guilt": in the early days of the alliance, Ye Xiu led Excellent Era to create a mythical dynasty that won three consecutive championships; The alliance, even the Challenger League has failed now, and depending on Tao Xuan's intentions, it will most likely end up disbanded in the end.

"Team Sun." Seeing Sun Xiang coming, Qiu Fei greeted him as usual with neither humility nor condescension, and he couldn't see any emotion towards Sun Xiang.

"You... are you doing a replay?"

Qiu Fei nodded: "I think neither the technical department nor the deputy team will come to replay this time, so let's see for ourselves."

Sun Xiang fell silent, sat down beside Qiu Fei with an indescribable emotion, and followed the video very masochistically.But looking at it, Sun Xiang's eyes could not be controlled to lock on Lord Grim's every move, staring at Zeng Zeng for a second.

Qiu Fei dragged the progress bar back and forth several times, and finally finished it two hours later, while Sun Xiang woke up like a dream.

"...Qiu Fei, you performed very well in the team competition." The loss was largely my fault.The second half of the sentence, after all, Sun Xiang didn't say it in front of the juniors in this training camp.

But what he really wants to say is: "Don't worry, with your strength, you will definitely have a good future in the league."

"Thank you, Team Sun."

It was already late when Su Mucheng helped deal with Happy's gang of drunks, but she thought about taking off her make-up, taking a shower, changing into pajamas, and leaving all her things in the dormitory, so she finally decided to go back to Excellent Era to sleep.What she never expected was that there was someone squatting at the door of her dormitory.

"Sun Xiang?!" Although the light was dim, Su Mucheng felt that she had not admitted her mistake.

"Su...Senior." Sun Xiang stood up.

"You mustn't, it's really goosebumps hearing you call senior." Su Mucheng sighed a little. She didn't expect Excellent Era to have been together for more than a year, but before she left, she heard this guy call senior.

"..." Sun Xiang observed carefully for a while, and after confirming that Su Mucheng didn't feel disgusted, he continued, "I know it's late, but there are some things I still want to ask you. I'm afraid it will be too late... just There's no chance."

"Okay. But why do I always feel that this sounds like a confession." Su Mucheng blinked at Sun Xiang.

Sun Xiang's face turned red all of a sudden, and he couldn't even speak: "No!! No, I didn't, I wasn't—"

"Okay, I'm just kidding, if you have any questions, please ask." Su Mucheng thought that what Ye Xiu said was true, Sun Xiang was very funny.

"Ah."

Sun Xiang lowered his head, sorted out his chaotic thoughts, and finally mustered up the courage to speak...

13. Chapter 13

"here it is……"

Ye Xiu looked around the room sleepily, and found that it was the familiar Excellent Era dormitory.As for what happened last night... No matter how hard Ye Xiu tried to recall, his last memory was only on the first person who came to toast.

Sure enough...you can't take any chances about your "drinking in a glass" attribute, and you shouldn't take any chances about the guess "wine = swap".

But no matter how many times he is asked to choose, even if he can only drink this high, he will still choose to drink it in one go.

This victory was not easy to come by. He and everyone in Happy prepared hard for a whole year, and even bet his entire remaining career.It would be too embarrassing if the celebration didn't even make people crazy once.

But now, he has to actively face the side effects.This exchange is considered to be a crime he knowingly committed, and he should apologize to the children.

Speaking of that little friend... I finally found a chance to take the lead from the seemingly indistinct worries in my heart since yesterday.

When Sun Xiang left the stage, he was in a very bad mood, and he didn't even notice that he was looking at him. You must know that Sun Xiang has always been very sensitive to his existence.

In fact, Ye Xiu knew that the career of this junior who was more proud than anyone else was not without bumps - the starting point was very high, but he fell badly.The evil fate is that the knowing blow is all caused by oneself.But whether it was the public embarrassment at the All-Stars, or Excellent Era's subsequent relegation all the way, at least he never saw emotions like "disheartened" or "frustrated" in those eyes.

The phrase "I lost today, and I have nothing to say about the loss, but maybe not tomorrow." He still remembers it to this day.

There should be a never-say-die flame in those eyes...

knock knock --

A sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Who is it?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Xiao Shiqin. Sun Xiang, are you up yet?"

Ye Xiu looked down at his pajamas and felt that he could see someone, so he tiptoed over and opened the door.

"Just started?" Xiao Shiqin asked gently.

"Yeah." Ye Xiu nodded.

"I...decided to go back to Leiting." Xiao Shiqin pushed his glasses, recalled the word Leiting between his lips and teeth, and then continued, "There will be someone over there to negotiate with Tao Xuan at night, and I have decided to leave tomorrow. What about you?"

"Me?...not sure yet." Ye Xiu prevaricated.

Excellent Era continued to sink in the Challenger League. I'm afraid not only the ace players like Xiao Shiqin and Sun Xiang, but also the rotation players might not be able to keep them.Ye Xiu felt a little melancholy, wondering what would be left of Excellent Era in the end?Did his former friend expect today when he was blindly pursuing commercialization?

Xiao Shiqin saw that Sun Xiang's face was not very good, and comforted him: "Don't think too much, with your strength, there will definitely be many teams
