There are no couples on the road

That night, Shi Xun was in a daze all the time outside of training.

He never thought that he would face such a situation.

On the one hand, he was too shocked and too sad that Jiang Weichi was troubled by depression and fell into depression; on the other hand, he was also surprised by his own reaction.

So when he faced Jiang Weichi, was he so emotional and at a loss?

Shi Xun thought of the recent conversation with Jiang Weichi.Because Jiang Weichi has gradually become more frank and candid, the dialogue between them has become much more ambiguous than before, without such clear boundaries, and there will not be too much consideration for each other.

It is a very pure dialogue, and a deeper communication.

Putting aside gender and erasing identity, it's just two people who are already very familiar with each other, moving towards more possibilities.

Shi Xun knew that he did not refuse this time, unlike the previous confession, he was very firm and knew what was possible and what was impossible.

Both times, it was his own choice.

When he made his choice carefully and carefully, the little assistant on the other end of the conversation was going through such a difficult moment.

How can we not make him feel uneasy?

Shi Xun, who has always been very caring, called his mother directly after the training.

My mother was not annoyed by being woken up, her voice was still sleepy, but it was gentle and soft, "Xiao Xun? Is there something wrong? Is there something uncomfortable?"

Shi Xun suddenly didn't know how to speak.

He has never put his mind on finding a girlfriend or falling in love, and it doesn't matter if he is ridiculed by his teammates.

Now I actually called my mother at four o'clock in the morning, wanting to ask some emotional questions, just thinking about what I was doing, I was so embarrassed and a little shy that I didn't know if I should hang up the phone directly.

When his mother asked for the second time, Shi Xun said awkwardly, "Mom...if I like boys, no, I...would I like boys..."

There was no inexplicable in Shi Xun's imagination, Shi Xun's mother just sighed, Shi Xun heard the sound over there, and knew that her mother should have sat up.

"I'm still thinking about when you plan to tell me." My mother said calmly.

"Huh?" Shi Xun froze for a moment.

"No, mother, mother, really, wait a minute? What do you mean when I plan to tell you?"

My mother was stunned by this one, "It's you who came out to me, didn't you mean that?"

"I... your son is straight? No, I'm not sure now... Hey, what should I say, just... I learned something about Xiao Chi today, and I... can't let it go .”

Shi Xun stammered, his voice became softer as he spoke, feeling that he couldn't express what he meant.

"Little Chi, what's wrong with him? You fell in love with him too?" The mother probably understood what her son meant.

"He...I didn't know it before. After I retired, I didn't reply to his messages. It's just that sometimes he seems to be in a bad state. Today...yesterday, I found that he was depressed after I retired."

When Shi Xun's mother heard the news, she was also silent for a while.

Shi Xun suddenly recalled, "Wait a little longer, what is it that I fell in love with him too, what's going on with 'also'?"

"Xiao Chi sees you as a food protector, and I feel like a mirror in my heart. Why do you think you've been able to hide it from me?"

Complete failure.Shi Xun only had these two characters in his heart.

"You took him home for the New Year. I thought you two were in a relationship. You brought Xiaochi back to make me familiar. Give me a vaccination and come out later." My mother thought it was a little funny when she said, "It turns out My son doesn't seem to be in love yet, let alone dating boys, he probably doesn't have much interest in girls, except for League of Legends."

When Shi Xun was teased by his mother, he seemed to relax a little, "Then you just said when I plan to tell you, don't you know that I am wrong?"

"Don't play tricks with me here. I haven't seen anything. Is there anything strange about you juniors around you? What's new about being gay. In terms of relationships, I don't have any advice for you. No one can tell you. You just like whoever you like."

"Little Xun, liking is not something that can be clearly stated. Feelings are very complicated. Vocabulary can distinguish between family and friendship and love, but real life is not about discrimination. Mom hopes that you can do what you like and love the person you like. I want to try Just try, act when you care, there are not so many twists and turns."

Shi Xun lay on the bed and didn't fall asleep for a long time after hanging up the phone.

He seemed to think a lot, but he didn't seem to think about anything.

There have been so many years, so many days, so many games, so many stories that can be told or can only be remembered.

Now, he is thinking about whether to continue the same future as Jiang Weichi.

If he can be closer, if he can not be separated, if there are more diverse relationships and more possibilities, how will he choose.

In fact, he already knew the answer he wanted to choose.

He had already made his choice when he thought of "failure to ruin" in the parking lot.

Maybe he hasn't fully figured out where he wants to go with Jiang Weichi, but he is willing to go.

This is also an option.

In the first round of the playoffs, CRE will face No.4 KEY in the West. Because CRE is the third in the East, it will take one point first.

Of course, CRE also passed the first round of the playoffs relatively smoothly. Taking advantage of the momentum, they continued to advance and met NEA in the semifinals.

Except for one defeat by LN, NEA has almost no losses in the regular season.

Jiang Weichi could feel the excited and tense atmosphere in the team, and he himself was infected.

Every team that enters the playoffs is marching toward the championship and the S8 spot. NEA is indeed strong, but the charm of competition lies in constant challenges. There will be a dynasty defending the title, a new king will be born, there will be dark horses, and there will be oolongs. There is no completely accurate prediction, and there will be no absolutely sustainable victory.

After knowing that Shi Xun will pay attention to the game, Jiang Weichi seems to have more motivation and more energy to devote to training.

He wanted Shi Xun to see his light.

It's a pity that it still fell in the semi-finals.

It's not really true to say I'm very disappointed.In the end, it won the third place in the spring competition, which is an acceptable result for CRE.

Because there is a more appropriate measurement of the current level and strategic adjustments, everyone knows which areas should be supplemented next, and there are still many areas that can be improved in the future.

CRE's Spring Split is over here.

When Shi Xun made up his mind, he asked Zhou Zhi about the situation.

Persevere didn't know the specific situation of Shi Xun's recovery, but when he heard Shi Xun said that he would play for another two years after his comeback, he felt that he was really crazy.

"I'm afraid that others will go crazy." Shi Xun groaned.

Xuan interjected from the side, "It's crazy, did you play after the world championship? You beat people crazy with your head???"

Shi Xun could only smile.

After that, it seemed to be a repeat of last year's summer finals, LN once again faced NEA.

The difference is that LN won the championship trophy for the first time.Jiang Weichi looked at Xuan and Persevere kissing the trophy, and thought of the time when He Shixun took CRE to the MSI in 17.

It's only been a year, and it seems that life has undergone a complete reshuffle, and nothing is the same.

"Congratulations, come on." Jiang Weichi was sincerely happy for Xuan.

"You too, see you in the summer split."

Turning off the phone screen, Jiang Weichi leaned back in the chair.If there are no official and club activities, then it will be a holiday. He can make up for the live broadcast, find a place to play if he doesn't want to go home, and then return to the base for training in advance.

Jiang Weichi felt that his arrangement was not bad, and it was no different from before.

When all CRE members were in the training room waiting for the arrangement after the coach's meeting notice, suddenly the assistant coach rushed in and said that a new player was coming today.

There was almost a wail. Coming to a newcomer means shortening the vacation to arrange trial training. If the rotation of a certain position starts, the vacation will be further reduced for running-in training.

"Forgive me, Brother Dai, isn't this fatal?"

Soda received this news just after he and his girlfriend had decided where to go to play, and it couldn't be better.

The assistant coach announced the news and ran away in a hurry. The players looked at each other in blank dismay, and simply continued to pack their peripherals and training positions in the training room, preparing for the holiday.

The coach tapped on the whiteboard, "Introduce our new players." Jiang Weichi was adjusting his keyboard without looking up, and he didn't feel that the whole training room was quiet at all.

until he heard—

"Hi everyone, I'm TimeStone, I joined CRE today, and I'm AD."

Mint was the first to react, standing up with a "teng".

Jiang Weichi's keyboard fell on the table, but he still didn't look up, he just paused for two or three seconds, then picked up the keyboard and continued to insert it.

No one thought Shi Xun would come back.

The situation at that time was so serious, it can be imagined that even after treatment, he would no longer be able to withstand the high-intensity work of professional players.

Jiang Weichi felt an inexplicable anger, he plugged in the USB port several times but didn't get it in.

Why is Shi Xun always like this, talking to himself, leaving as soon as he said, and now coming back when he said it again.

In the past, I was too concerned about his feelings, and I couldn't even say goodbye in advance.Now he doesn't care about his own hands so much, why did he come back and even ignore his own body?

He is already slowly finding a new way, and can no longer cling to those impossible ideas.

Jiang Weichi can even accept that Shi Xun lives well in a place where he will never meet him again, and he doesn't want him to use his own hands again to make this trip into troubled waters.

Jiang Weichi hadn't recovered from his composure yet, Shi Xun had already finished speaking.After all, they are all old teammates, so there is nothing unfamiliar.The only one I am not familiar with is Mint, but Mint has already given up Shi Xun's original position.

Shi Xun stood next to the whiteboard in front of the training room without moving, and Jiang Weichi remained silent. He knew he had to let the little assistant vent, otherwise this matter would be difficult.

Just when everyone felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Jiang Weichi stood up.

He walked over very calmly. When others thought he was going to hug Shi Xun, he pulled Shi Xun by his collar and pushed him against the wall.

Everyone in the training room was stunned.

Jiang Weichi was about to hit someone with his hand raised, but everyone went up to stop him with a dazed expression.

Then I remembered that there was clearly a bad debt between these two people at that time, and they even had a fight when Shi Xun retired.

The team leader was the first to react, and stepped forward to fight.

Shi Xun waved his hand, indicating no need, and turned his head sideways, "Call back."

Jiang Weichi put his hands down instead, his mouth was still very strong, "Do you think I dare not?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Mint is easy to use. If you're not here, it's easy for me to hit the bottom lane."

Shi Xun had an innocent look on his face, "I have signed all the contract extensions."

Jiang Weichi gritted his teeth, "Is it related to me?"

"No," Shi Xun blinked his eyes pitifully, "but the liquidated damages are too expensive."

Jiang Weichi felt that he was going to die of anger, "You can talk now?"

There was a bit of crying in the voice unconsciously, Jiang Weichi didn't realize it, "Don't say it when you leave, don't say it before you come back, it's too late now..."

The "easy-to-use" Mint hugged his peripherals and didn't know where to put them. He felt that this scene was too much for Shura.

I don't know anything, I'm just a worthwhile little mint. Mint is pitiful.

Shi Xun felt that Jiang Weichi's whole body was tense, and the sockets of his eyes were still red.

He didn't expect this to happen in the training room, so he compromised first.

Shi Xun raised his hand to press down on the back of the little assistant's neck, and Jiang Weichi's head rested on his shoulder.

"I'm back, I'm sorry." He whispered to Jiang Weichi.

Feeling the familiar movements, Jiang Weichi paused for a moment.

Then he felt something different... It was a raised scar on the inside of Shi Xun's palm.

In an instant, everything seemed to flood Jiang Weichi's mind...he couldn't say anything.

It turned out that Shi Xun was serious enough to have surgery that would leave such a long scar, no wonder he didn't say anything.

He also doesn't know his future fate, perhaps retirement is the lightest consequence that Shi Xun will face.If he decides to retire, normal injuries can be recovered, but Shi Xun still needs such an operation.

After the operation, how much pain will it take to recover to the point where you can return to play now?

Jiang Weichi was buried on Shi Xun's shoulder, not moving at all.Shi Xun felt a burst of wetness from his shoulders, which made the little assistant cry again.

He wanted to drag the little assistant upstairs first, but he was hugged tightly, not relaxing at all.

The coach had signaled everyone else to leave the training room, only the two of them were left, and Jiang Weichi was still unwilling to let go.

After a long time, Shi Xun felt that Jiang Weichi was sobbing, and Jiang Weichi only spoke in a vague, nasal voice.

"Why, why didn't you say anything..."

"I want to share with you, I can, I can share with you..."

"Why do you want to come back..."

Shi Xun gently smoothed Jiang Weichi's hair, and when he heard this sentence, he patted Jiang Weichi's back of the neck with the same strength as before.

"Because I want to play a match with you." Shi Xun said.

So calm, so determined, as if the high-spirited and aggressive genius AD didn't shy away from the camera, "Only the first is considered an e-sports."

"Because you need me, don't you, Jiang Weichi?"

Jiang Weichi's eyes widened in an instant, he stood up and looked at Shi Xun, his eye sockets were red like scratches.It's been a long time since he saw Shi Xun being so aggressive and casual.

He blinked, not even noticing the tears falling.

"I need you. I miss you so much."

Because of you, silly little late.
