By now

The next day, because of the battle in the guild the day before, there was a low atmosphere in the office. These retired players really have to admit that they are no longer young, and staying up late hurts their health.

Zhang Xinjie, who had a regular schedule, naturally didn't have the trouble of staying up all night. Looking at the gloomy atmosphere in the office, he dropped a message that woke everyone up.

Zhou Zekai has retired.

Glory Gunner ended his e-sports player career, which is undoubtedly the biggest and most shocking news today.

In fact, it makes sense when you think about it. They are no longer young. It is not easy for Zhou Zekai to persevere until now. Almost all the professional players who came out of the fifth season around him have retired. If there is an annals of celebrities, he must be written on the page of legends.

The reason for retiring is only a few words: he found a new purpose.

Like the father of Ryoma Chuechizen, the prince of tennis, Zhou Zekai has accomplished all the glory of his e-sports player career. When he looks back, he is a childish child full of curiosity.

To put it simply, Zhou Zekai retired because his and Su Mucheng's baby was born. From then on, he changed from an e-sports master to a father role.

"Will the team come to work in the league that week?" A colleague couldn't help but ask, he is a newcomer, and because he loves glory, he is looking for a job here.

Ye Xiu came out of the director's office and puffed out a smoke ring, "I don't know if he will come or not, but if his wife comes, he must come too."

The implication is that Su Mucheng is coming back to work in the alliance after finishing her days of fighting for glory with Zhou Zekai.

In an instant, the office became lively, and Su Mucheng was considered one of the beauties of the alliance. Even though she was married and had children, she still had many admirers.

Huang Shaotian seemed rather excited. He and Su Mucheng both debuted in the fourth season, and they also had a good relationship with each other in private. He hurriedly asked, "When are they coming? Are they also coming to the mobile game department? Long time no see, Sister Su, Will you bring Xiao Chengzi with you?"

Ye Xiu glanced at him and jokingly said, "Why are you so excited, I like to give birth to a child by myself."

The insider was amused, Huang Shaotian glanced at Yu Wenzhou with some complaints.

Yu Wenzhou smiled, "Maybe when Xinjie and Yunxiu get married, you will be able to see them."

Everyone looked at Zhang Xinjie in unison. His marriage to Chu Yunxiu had been rumored all the time, but it hadn't been settled yet. What did Yu Wenzhou mean by that?

Zhang Xinjie nodded, "The wedding invitation is still being produced, and the date is set for the first day of the new year. Welcome everyone to attend our wedding."

The office was noisy, and everyone chatted with great interest. Ye Xiu's excitement was reflected in interrupting the excitement of others. He knocked on the glass door in front of him to signal to everyone that it is working time, so do the work at hand first.

Xiao Shiqin was at his work station, while being happy for the good news of his former comrade-in-arms, while being uncontrollably envious.

It must be a very happy thing to marry and have children with the person he loves deeply. He is happy for them. At the same time, he thinks of himself. There is also Beibei, although he is not his own flesh and blood, but it is enough to comfort his lonely heart.

It sounds unbelievable to only love one person in his life, but for him, it is a long-established vision.Before meeting Han Wenqing, in his planned life, there was no place for love, and he didn't even have time to make a place for love.Xiao Shiqin at that time was young and energetic, rebellious and unruly, and would go through fire and water for his ideals.Ignorance and fearlessness are exactly the portrayal of everyone's youth.

Stubbornly fighting for Glory, stubbornly joining teams, and risky cross-province team changes, the focus of all these actions is the golden trophy, which is the pride of young people.

During these high-spirited days, he met love by chance, that person was tall and cool, unsmiling, impulsive and surprisingly innocent.He once dug a place for Han Wenqing in his life plan, the softest place near the apex of his heart.This person loves glory as much as he does, is consistent with his ideals, and is his vision and goal.He spent many nights writing tactical strategies for him, learning cooking that he was not familiar with, carefully making every short date plan, caring about his every expression and movement, and trying every means to make Han Wenqing leave his trace in his life .In Xiao Shiqin's love, Han Wenqing was the only person he loved in his life.

Then he personally cut off the love sapling that he carefully cared for, and drew a boundary with the person he loved deeply with determination and sadness.

Looking back on many things after a long time, you will find that there were actually more and better solutions at that time, and any misunderstandings can be communicated.This is life, making mistakes while trying to correct them.

Xiao Shiqin should be very satisfied with his current life. Love told him not to force him, so he let it go generously. Now that he has a job and a child, his parents understand him, and his colleagues are friendly, it's just why, the softest part of his heart always pops up from time to time. It's a dull pain.

As soon as his thoughts drifted like this, he drifted further and further away, and accidentally delayed work.

Xiao Shiqin seldom worked overtime because he had to take care of his children, but this was not a reason to reduce his workload, what had to be done was still to be done.

Due to work errands, he inevitably worked overtime. In the afternoon, he asked Huang Shaotian to pick up Beibei from school. By the time he got off work, the door was already brightly lit.

The cafeteria was closed, and Xiao Shiqin, who hadn't had dinner, was hungry.It seems that I can only go back and cook some convenience food for myself.

Unexpectedly, there were acquaintances working overtime so late. When Xiao Shiqin passed by Han Wenqing's office, he was suddenly taken aback by his sudden greeting.

"Han, Team Han, are you still off work?" After calming down, Xiao Shiqin greeted.

Han Wenqing raised the lunch box on the table and signaled, "It's too late, let's order takeaway and eat together."

Xiao Shiqin instinctively wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Han Wenqing's sincere eyes.I had to hum and agree.

Han Wenqing relaxed, and took Xiao Shiqin to the lounge for dinner.

The takeaway is a simple fast food box lunch, which is Xiao Shiqin's favorite dish. Han Wenqing looks rough, but his heart is very delicate.

When two people eat, it's embarrassing if they don't have anything to talk about. Xiao Shiqin is so hungry that he doesn't have time to talk, while Han Wenqing wants to say something but doesn't know what to say. he is very angry.

Seeing that the box lunch was about to be finished, Han Wenqing couldn't hold back and started an awkward chat: "Bei Bei, is it time for a holiday?"

Xiao Shiqin nodded, "Well, there's still a week left, and we'll have a long vacation."

"Chinese New Year, go back to W City?"

This seems to be nonsense. It is normal to go home during the Chinese New Year.But Xiao Shiqin's answer surprised him a bit.

"I won't be back this year, Beibei is not used to traveling long distances, and besides, it's Yunxiu and Xinjie's wedding on the first day of junior high school, and our partners in the fourth season should not be absent."

Han Wenqing was overjoyed. He didn't plan to go home this year. Although Zhang Xinjie's wedding was the reason, it was more because he didn't want to go home and face interrogation by his relatives.

Need to talk about something more, need to talk about something more.Han Wenqing racked his brains for the awkward chat, subconsciously he hoped that the two of them could spend more time together.

Xiao Shiqin still felt a little hungry after eating the boxed lunch in his hand. He looked at Han Wenqing's boxed lunch which had hardly touched his chopsticks, and hesitantly asked, "Team Han, aren't you hungry?"

Han Wenqing immediately delivered the boxed lunch in his hand, "Well, I ordered it for you, so eat more."

Xiao Shiqin accepted it a little embarrassedly, his hunger prevented him from thinking too much.

After dinner, the two packed up their things and left the unit together.It was freezing cold at night, and the dormitory apartment was opposite, very close, so it didn't take long to walk, but the two of them walked slowly because they were too full and needed to take a walk or for other reasons.

Xiao Shiqin walked in front, and Han Wenqing followed, step by step, when suddenly the person walking in front turned around.

"Han Wenqing."

Han Wenqing, who was stopped, stopped without any mental preparation, and leaned forward, Xiao Shiqin hurriedly supported him.It was cold and the road was slippery, so I was really afraid that he would fall.

"What's wrong?" Han Wenqing asked as he stood up.

"There's a question I've wanted to ask you a long time ago."

question?Han Wenqing recalled the TV series played in the cafeteria during the lunch break the day before yesterday. The heroine asked the hero, have you ever loved me? Could it be that Xiao Shiqin wanted to ask this kind of silly question?

"I loved it." The words blurted out involuntarily.

"Ah?" Xiao Shiqin was dumbfounded.

"Love... patriotism... hey... what am I talking about." Not being good at words suffered a big loss at this time, and Han Wenqing was a little embarrassed.

Xiao Shiqin's heart was poked by something, "I want to ask, why did you accept my confession in the first place?"

Han Wenqing was silent for a while, he didn't really want to answer this question, because the real answer might make Xiao Shiqin care.

Seeing that he remained silent, Xiao Shiqin turned around and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, I can guess if you don't tell me, why I asked this, it's all over."

Of course he knows why he asked such an idiotic question, and there are many idiotic questions he wants to ask, for example, why do you still keep your pajamas after breaking up for several years, why do you wait for him to order his favorite food after get off work? , and so on.The person who says to let go every day is actually the one who can't let go, but he doesn't want to admit it.

Han Wenqing took his hand, pulled him back, and held him in his arms. He always moves faster than he realizes. If he is allowed to leave in such a self-pity, he can foresee that the road ahead will be even more difficult. .

"You, what are you holding me for?" Xiao Shiqin's heart was beating fast.

There was a whisper in my ear, "I don't know, I just want to hug you."

For a moment, Xiao Shiqin felt a little uncomfortable, feeling his nose was a little sore, the person in front of him was always like this, always doing things in a rush, and always liked to kick his tied heart, reminding himself that he had been here before .

"If you don't go back so late, Beibei should be in a hurry." Xiao Shiqin broke free from his embrace, lowered his head, not daring to look into his eyes.

"Okay, I'll take you downstairs."

"No need, it's a different route." Xiao Shiqin hastily rejected him, "It's late, let's go to bed early."

"You too."

Han Wenqing watched him leave quickly, from striding to trotting all the way, and disappeared in an instant.

You are clearly shaken, why do you push me away?Anyway, I won't give up this time.
