It's time for me to play

Until the car was about to drive into and out of the city center, Chu Xinghuai could still feel a little suffocation.

"I really didn't mean to wear this one, so I just picked one up." He touched the seat belt, and finally couldn't help but explain a little.

After he figured it out that day, he really wanted to stay away from Xie Yingshen.But the two always have to communicate and cooperate in training at the base, and the effect is obviously not great.

Xie Yingshen didn't know whether it was because he didn't mind, or because he didn't think much about it at all, so he just hummed in a low voice: "It's up to you."

This nonsense attitude...

Chu Xing turned to look at him suspiciously.

The man sitting in the driver's side had sharp edges and corners, his jaw was tense and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he was extremely focused.

This made him a little dazed, remembering the first time he woke up and saw this person on the screen.At that time, the camera flashed, and he also entered the scene from this angle.

What was he thinking at that time?It seems to be recalling the plot of the original book.

But now, neither Xie Yingshen nor Lu Beibei, Que and Delete were names that flashed by in the book, but became his real teammates.Not only did he not leave the cannon fodder, but he also made new achievements.

Even...he thought, he doesn't want to quit anymore, he wants to keep playing.

He still wants to...

After driving for a long time, there are fewer and fewer people on the side of the road.

This nursing home seems to be in the suburbs. From the navigation point of view, it is almost a diagonal line with the base of IOL in P City.

Chu Xinghuai didn't know much about this world yet. If he knew a little more, he would know that this nursing home is only for special people, and ordinary families can't get in at all.

The style of the gate is some old iron railings, with rust spots on it, and the staff of the gatekeeper need to come out and open the gate manually.After entering, the yard is lined with trees, and even the white wall on the second floor in the distance is covered with creepers.

It looks like a very old place.

There are many elderly people exercising and some children running and playing in the compound, which looks like a small community.

They parked the car and walked up the stairs.Chu Xinghuai noticed that the stairs here are open, so they are extremely mottled and full of traces of time—in addition to various stains, there are also graffiti drawn crookedly by children with pencils.

And when you walk into the corridor, you will feel a little cold, and there is a feeling that the temperature has dropped by two degrees in an instant.

They walked to the door of a room, and Xie Yingshen knocked on the door.

He waited for the reply of "Come in, the door is unlocked" from inside, and then he turned the door open.

Chu Xing walked in behind him with flowers in his arms.

It looks shabby from the outside, but the interior area is not small.It seems to have been redecorated, the house is very bright, and there are no problems such as poor lighting and humidity in old houses.

The room is very warmly furnished, most of the decorations are based on the pastoral style of broken flowers.In the house, only one elder wearing an apron and thick oven gloves came out of the kitchen in a hurry. This was probably the "Gentle Auntie".

"Ah, Xiao Xing also brought flowers. It's still my favorite baby's breath. It's blooming really well. You guys are interested." The other party was obviously very happy to see the flowers, and greeted them again and again, "Put it down, and then go sit for a while." Yes, I'll bake you some snacks."

Sure enough, Chu Xinghuai was the same as the note, her tone was very gentle, and she was also very kind.

He walked over, put the flowers on the table, and said "Hello, Auntie" shyly.

"It's still called Auntie," the other party was a little surprised, "but for a while... Forget it, you can call her whatever you want."

Chu Xinghuai was at a loss in his heart for a moment, what's your name if you don't call her auntie?You can't call me aunt, can you?

As soon as this idea came up, I heard Xie Yingshen say: "Mom, don't make those small snacks, they don't taste good."

"How do you speak, child?"

"It's rare for you to come here. I know that those dim sum stars outside have eaten everything. After thinking about it, let's make something yourself, at least it's healthy." The gentle aunt in front of me came over with a smile and twisted his arm: "Go and bring Xiao Xing is sitting."

Chu Xinghuai instantly forgot the question just now, his soul was lost by the "Mom" - this is Xie Yingshen's mother? !

Why is Xie Yingshen's mother's number in his phone? !

Recalling that Xie Yingshen always said sarcastically that he would sue, he suddenly understood that this sue should be aimed at this person...

He couldn't help but take a closer look at the person in front of him.

About 40 years old, his face is slightly pale, and there are already many fine lines on his face.Especially the corners of her eyes, which made her look like a lot of vicissitudes.It seems that what Xie Yingshen said about being sick before was not groundless.

Because he didn't look quite like Xie Yingshen, Chu Xinghuai didn't think about it at all at first.But after knowing it and taking a closer look, you will find that the two still have many similarities.For example, the shape of the mouth - they are all thin lips, and the corners of the mouth will be straightened when they are not speaking.

Looking at it this way, it seems that he is not an easy person to get along with.

Chu Xinghuai felt that there was something wrong with it.

"Come on, go and sit over there."

Xie Yingshen nodded to Chu Xinghuai: "Anyway, she can't refuse what she decides."

Chu Xinghuai nodded, he felt that he really needed to find a place to clear his mind.

As a place where only one person lives, this home is indeed well-equipped-the living room is also well-decorated, with carpets on the floor.

The two of them had already changed their shoes in the shoe cabinet outside, so they walked in wearing slippers.

Now that I think about it, these slippers are just the right size, and they are brand new.Could it be for him?Does he have such a sense of presence in Xie Yingshen's house?

Is this still a normal haircut?

The living room is mainly yellow and white, with various western-style landscape oil paintings hanging on the wall, which looks very warm.

Chu Xinghuai walked around, and finally found what he was looking for - a photo frame beside the TV cabinet.

The photo frame on the cabinet was put away, and a series of numbers he was familiar with were written on the back: 202X.10.17;

It's the memo and power-on password in his phone.

Chu Xing shrank his fingers, wanted to open it but became a little nervous for some reason.

He glanced back, Xie Yingshen was bending over to water the flowers on the open-air balcony outside the living room, as if he was about to take care of it, and there was no possibility of coming over for the time being...

So he nervously opened the photo, but was disappointed to find that it was just an ordinary group photo.

——It is a photo of a group photo with the trophy after winning the professional e-sports league.The protagonist in the photo is indeed Xie Yingshen, but the people standing around him are not a few teammates, but a circle of relatives and friends.

It is about a group photo of several people in private:

——than Xie Yingshen, who looked a lot childish now, and his hair was a lot shorter than now.Standing beside him were his mother, coach Yan Yanyan, and the team manager Chi Jia whom he had only briefly met on TV before, and a tall, thin man wearing sunglasses and wearing a neat suit.

He didn't know this person, and he didn't look much like Xie Yingshen, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

It seems that this time should be the time when Xie Yingshen won the championship for the first time.

Chu Xinghuai put down the photo, feeling a little lost: He thought there was some special clue that would allow him to guess the strange relationship between Yuanchen and Xie Yingshen.

However, the original owner is worthy of being the first crush, and it seems reasonable to set the date of the opponent's championship as a password.

They waited for a while, and Mother Xie really asked them to have some snacks.

The dessert is a small biscuit sandwiched with coconut flakes. It tastes good, but it is a bit sweet.

Chu Xinghuai couldn't eat anymore after eating two.

But someone baked a big plate hard, and put it in a beautiful small plate in front of him. It seemed impolite for him to eat only two, and he was a little worried.

"Didn't you eat a lot of candy when you ate sweets?" Probably seeing his embarrassment, Xie Yingshen turned his head and asked in a low voice while the person opposite was not paying attention.

Chu Xinghuai squinted his eyes, and suddenly heard something - this couldn't be a mockery of someone coming late after he put sugar in someone's pocket that night, right?

This is the Xie Yingshen he is familiar with.

Xie Yingshen was satisfied to see him staring and not speaking.He took the remaining small biscuits from his plate, put a few on his plate, and then threw the rest back into the big baking pan.

"..."

No, wouldn't it be bad?

"I can't eat so many sweets either." Probably guessing his look, Xie Yingshen explained, "It's so boring."

"I told you earlier that we don't eat sweets... Anyway, she won't listen."

They talked for a while after dessert, and Xie Yingshen took him away before lunch.

"If you don't want sweets, we'd better go now," he whispered.

Chu Xinghuai nodded.Before leaving, Mother Xie enthusiastically packed all the leftover biscuits into cute little bags, and asked them to take them back to distribute to teammates and eat back.Chu Xinghuai had no choice but to accept it silently.

After the two sat in the car, Xie Yingshen suddenly said as he watched Chu Xinghuai lower his head and sort out the pile of biscuits in his arms:

"Since she was young, she has had serious underlying diseases, and she especially wants to eat sugar but can't eat it. So every time a guest comes, she likes to make sweet things for others. Maybe she subconsciously thinks that sugar is a good thing. "

Chu Xinghuai was stunned.

He turned his head and saw Xie Yingshen lighting a cigarette.

Maybe he was afraid of getting him smoked, so he hesitated after lighting it up and got out of the car.When he came back, he found a bag of sugar thrown on the driver's seat.

Chu Xinghuai said coolly: "It seems that the captain doesn't eat enough candy, and he still wants to smoke."

"..."

Seeing Xie Yingshen's speechless expression, Chu Xinghuai felt at ease—hmph, it's a win.

It was already noon when the two returned to the base.When Chu Xinghuai went back to his room to change his clothes, he realized that a bag of the same style and different color as those small biscuit bags had been stuffed into his pocket at some point.

He opened the bag, and there was a big red envelope inside.

There is also a note inside, with a line of handsome characters on it, which is obviously Xie's mother's:

【Xing Xing, seeing that you and Yingshen get along so well, Auntie is relieved.If you don't like it, please let me know. 】

"..."

This strange feeling became more and more intense—was the relationship between him and Xie Yingshen good enough that the other party's mother would give him a red envelope when they met each other? !

And this is to connive him to sue!

Holding the red envelope, he felt an urge to go downstairs and grab Xie Yingshen by the collar and ask him what kind of weird relationship they had.

But he can't.Not only can't it, but I have to continue to act in a confused manner and pretend to understand.

Chu Xing scratched his hair with a greeting in his arms, and put the red envelope away.After thinking about it, I stuffed the note into my wallet again so as not to lose it.

It was already past the meal time, so he ordered a takeaway and prepared to go downstairs to wait.Unexpectedly, when he reached the stairs, Coach Qin hurriedly appeared and stopped him:

"Starry, come to the meeting first."

He turned his head and looked to the other side: "TEN is coming too."
