I use Alpha as a stand-in?lied to him!

Xia Xingchen didn't tell anyone when he was hospitalized, his phone was set to do-not-disturb mode for several days, but he couldn't turn it on because on the day he was discharged from the hospital, the nurse who had been in charge of his ward asked if he could add a WeChat.

That still has to be added, the sister nurse gave him a rose every day for a week, Xia Xingchen couldn't refuse her.

After all, flowers are really beautiful.

The newly bought house is in the urban area, surrounded by large shopping malls and schools, Xia Xingchen had to go to the house on the same day with the agent to see the house, and almost lost his way back home after leaving the hospital.

Fortunately, the navigation is very good, he reported a place name and the driver sent it to the location. Before getting off the car, he saw a dark brown glass vase in Xia Xingchen's hand and asked curiously, "Where is this flower just now?" Did you buy it? It’s so fresh.”

Not only fresh, but also very fragrant.

Different from the perfume that the florist usually sprays, the flower that the hospital nurse sent him smells very clean and pure, as if it was picked from the garden early in the morning and brought to him with the first drop of dew in the morning Same in hand.

Xia Xingchen took advantage of the good weather to go downstairs and search around, trying to find out where there is a rose garden.

But it's winter now, and the hospital doesn't plant roses. He is the only one who has such beautiful flowers in the entire inpatient building.

Secrets that are secretly hidden.

Flowers are exchanged every day. Xia Xingchen originally thought that the previous ones would be thrown away, but when he was discharged from the hospital today, the nurse actually gave him a small gift box.

In the gift box are several dried flowers that have been plastic-packed to look like bookmarks.

Even in winter, the weather is not so dry that the delicate roses of the previous day will dry up the next day. The nurses in the hospital have to take care of so many patients every day, and they probably don’t have time to find a dryer and spend several hours drying them. Dry a flower, seal the upper layer and send it to him.

When there is a gift, there is an intention.

It is impossible for the nurse to get anything from him, that is, to help others and to be a blue bird.

Xia Xingchen felt a little funny.

It's self-evident who sent flowers in such a similar way, he just thought that if that person really cared, he should be more creative.

Or, does he want to redo all the methods he used to chase him back then?

From the age of 17 to 18, he chased each other for a whole year. Does Mr. Jiang really have this patience?

Xia Xingchen was skeptical.

He smiled and replied to the driver: "Unfortunately, it's out of season."

Freshness is freshness, he has no doubt that Jiang Shuo asked the gardener to go to the villa in the south of the city to pick out this flower early in the morning, and then borrowed it from someone else so far away to give it to him.

Mr. Jiang does have a greenhouse that is like spring all the year round, but unfortunately all the plants are not growing in their proper season.

Just like watermelon is best eaten in the hottest summer, ice cream goes best with the sun.

The roses in winter are beautiful, but they are always a little fake.

Besides, Jiang Shuo didn't need to waste any effort at all.

He may have been asleep when the flowers were picked, and he may have been working when they were delivered.

The way he expresses his love for people is always perfunctory and serious. At first glance, he is surprised, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that there is not much sincerity at all.

But Xia Xingchen did accept his flowers.

Because it looks good.

……

No one lived in the new house. Xia Xingchen was in a hurry to move, so he bought a second-hand house. The previous head of the house was a photographer, and he had a darkroom specially used for film development.

Xia Xingchen directly converted the whole room into a training room. The lamps were changed, the walls were repainted, and the light came in from the bright windows, dazzlingly bright.

There is still more than half a month to celebrate the new year, Xia Xingchen plans to go out to play before the new year, simply because his hands are precious now, the doctor advised him not to even lift heavy objects.

Xia Xingchen definitely couldn't go to an exciting exercise like bungee jumping that Zhang Yan mentioned, but there was no hindrance to normal travel.

The only trouble is that after the mobile phone is turned on, he gets a steady stream of calls, and he is so worried that he wants to change the calling card.

As soon as the Qingtuan phone was connected, it yelled at the other end: "Pick it up, pick it up, the person is not dead!"

Xia Xingchen: "... Are you cursing me like this?"

Just by hearing the voice, you could tell that Qingtuan was holding back, but instead of explaining, he said in a strange voice: "Could this be called a curse? This is my most sincere greeting to you."

"..." Xia Xingchen scolded with a smile, "Go to hell with you."

"What are you missing?" The Youth League said to him seriously, "After posting a message on Weibo, the person disappeared. Those who didn't know thought you were abducted by the club. Someone is about to organize a group to come to the base to ask for someone."

A white marble coffee table was placed under the window sill. Xia Xingchen put the vase on it. This flower was brought in by the nurse early in the morning. Knowing that he was going to be discharged from the hospital, Xia Xingchen hesitated for a while whether to give it to him.

Xia Xingchen took the initiative to take it over, and it would look good in his new home at this time.

He glanced at it twice, and said without any ups and downs: "I had an operation, and the doctor said that I need to rest, so I didn't turn on my phone."

The chattering voice from the Youth League stopped immediately.

Xia Xingchen waited for a while before hearing a faint passing movement, and Cheng Shen said, "Did the operation go well?"

"It's going well." Xia Xingchen hooked his lips and smiled, "Be careful to be my opponent in the World Championship next year."

Cheng Shen also smiled: "Then I am really honored."

After talking casually for a while, Cheng Shen seemed to have gone to a quieter place, and asked in a low voice, "Are you really not coming back?"

Xia Xingchen was startled.

It was not the first time for him to think about this question. When lying on the hospital bed was really boring, he also asked himself if he really didn't want to go back.

Wouldn't it be a pity to leave the team you've been fighting for for five years like this?

He couldn't think of an answer, but he thought it would be nice to have no answer.

Not every question has to have a clear right and wrong, especially when it comes to people's hearts.

How could it be possible if he had no regrets.But if he really wronged himself because of these regrets, Xia Xingchen felt that he couldn't do it.

He has been tempered by the field for a long time, and he has been instilled with high expectations by the world. He is not an ignorant little boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, he is the god in the eyes of countless e-sports fans.

If even he succumbed easily, how could he live up to the high expectations placed on him by so many people.

Xia Xingchen smiled, and reached out to touch the rose petals: "Probably, the club doesn't change people, so I'll get out sooner or later when I go back."

Because they are teammates like family members, Xia Xingchen often doesn't have so many scruples when talking to Cheng Shen and the others.

What he said was the truth. The reason for the termination of the contract this time was indeed that SQG had been pressing the contract not to renew, and the intention was too obvious. Xia Xingchen didn't need to think carefully to know that it was not suitable to stay for a long time.

Who knew that when he said this, Cheng Shen paused for a moment, and then spoke with some hesitation in his tone, as if he was not sure whether he should tell him or not.

"Old Guo has been replaced."

Xia Xingchen was slightly taken aback: "Huh?"

"The new manager is a close friend of the vice president of the company. He said at a dinner two days ago that the company is in great turmoil," Cheng Shen said.

Xia Xingchen was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

Cheng Shen said: "The Youth League doesn't know yet. It probably means that there has been a big change in the headquarters, and it seems to have something to do with the shareholders."

Xia Xingchen didn't study finance and didn't start a company, so he didn't know what was wrong with it.In his opinion, SQG e-sports club is still a small enterprise.

But Cheng Shen's family has been in business for generations, he can see clearly.

After all, the club is just a game and entertainment platform, and it is the capital and sponsors who fight behind it.

SQG is not the only one that invested capital from Yaoshi, but Jiang Shuo's investment in the club must be considerable, otherwise his right to speak would not be so heavy.

Xia Xingchen's departure from the team this time was obviously not what Jiang Shuo expected.

There are not no companies that can compete with Yaoshi, but normal people will not openly oppose Jiang Shuo.

He is a young upstart and a reasonable and legal heir of the Jiang family. Even regardless of Yaoshi's current influence and assets, as far as the Jiang family is concerned, he is not something ordinary people would dare to touch.

Cheng Shen had a vague guess in his heart, but he wouldn't tell Xia Xingchen directly without evidence.

After all, the fights and fights within the big family are all wars without gunpowder and smoke, and they can't get involved.

Someone wanted to trip Jiang Shuo, since Xia Xingchen had broken up with him, he shouldn't bother him anymore, it's a good thing not to know.

He told Xia Xingchen this matter just to tell him: "I think if the replacement is thorough later, you can still come back."

Cheng Shen still had doubts, capital fighting was the purpose, and Xia Xingchen was probably just a pawn.

And if someone moved this pawn, it was sure that Jiang Shuo would be angry because of Xia Xingchen.

After he was dumped by the stars?

Could Jiang Shuo be such an infatuated person?

Hearing this, Xia Xingchen paused for a moment, suppressed the confusion in his heart, and calmly said, "Let's talk about it."

Unnecessary assumptions are very boring to make, which wastes time and energy.

Regardless of the reason for the club's rectification, whether it has something to do with him or has nothing to do with it, he doesn't want to take the responsibility on himself.

It's so tiring.

There's no reason to be so tired.

As for what Jiang Shuo told him in Lanyue Bay, the door of the hospital was opened in the middle of the night, and the flowers changed every morning were not requested by Xia Xingchen himself.

Jiang Shuo was willing to do it, so he let him do it.

After all, it doesn't matter who is to whom, and he has no position or reason to stop other people's actions, but if Jiang Shuo asks him for credit for these things, Xia Xingchen will not talk to him.

Mr. Jiang never thought about why he wanted to leave.

He will just give you what he thinks is good, without asking whether you like it or not.

Xia Xingchen felt a little annoyed, so he simply advanced the booked flight ticket, and went out early the next morning with his bag on his back.

But there was a ceramic vase by the door, and there were roses in full bloom in the vase.
