Rise

Tian Tian has always had this kind of character. Even if the two people sitting together to eat and chat at the moment are his two closest teammates in the past, he will still feel embarrassed and embarrassed about the compliments that fall on him.

I just didn't expect that as soon as my humble and polite words came out of my mouth, they were directly refuted by Mu Qiu on the side.

Even the tone was so serious.

No joke at all.

So both Li Shiyi and Tian Tian were slightly startled when they heard it. They subconsciously looked up at the former auxiliary companion in front of them. They looked at the almost natural look of determination on the other person's face, savoring the unconcealed pride in his tone. The two of them finally woke up——

Yes.

This is not actually about personal humility.

But it is an extremely certain fact——

Because at that time, the decisive team represented by the five of them - Battle, indeed stood at the top of the pyramid of the world's professional e-sports circle.

Sweeping across Europe and America.

Reach the pinnacle of the finals stage.

At that time, the brilliance of the five of them could not be obscured by even the top European and American teams. Looking up, there was only one South Korean SSK team that could compete.

so.

There is really no need for modesty.

Because they were indeed worthy of pride back then.

The "Battle" they represented back then also symbolized the top glory of the entire national server and cannot be erased.

In the past, they were only one step away from reaching the top, but even if they were one step away, they were still considered legends. The five positions in the team and each member in each position also represented the world's top e-sports players at that time. The highest level within the circle——

Any one of them alone is worthy of today's All-Star level.

They have shared weal and woe.

Playing side by side.

No matter who you are, you cannot tolerate being slighted.

Because any slight against any one of them is a provocation against the entire "Battle" team.

Back then, no one dared to challenge the victory-Battle.

"Now--"

"It should be the same."

Mu Qiu looked at the two teammates in front of him and said this.

Tian Tian couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling a little ashamed and embarrassed: "That's true... but I probably can't change this habit - I always feel like I'm still not that interesting..."

Li Shiyi looked at Mu Qiu and smiled:

"However, Ah Qiu, you are still the same as before."

Yes.

Everyone's personality and temperament seem to have remained unchanged from that time until now.

Tian Tian was like this back then, always looking a little nervous, cautious and unconfident, while Li Shiyi and Zhou Mo had a more calm and rational style, while someone else was carefree and unbridled——

Among the few people, Mu Qiu and Tian Tian have the most opposite personalities.

More than just full of flamboyant confidence.

Even to outsiders, he has a somewhat fierce and aggressive offensive aura.

Hearing this comment from her old friend, Mu Qiu just shrugged:

"You're used to it, you can't change it."

Li Shi nodded, looking at Mu Qiu with relief and nostalgia in his eyes:

"Do not change."

"That's it, that's good."

…

It’s really been a long time since we last saw each other. There is enough for the three of us to talk about and recount the past.

In fact, for the three of them, it is extremely gratifying to see that each other still maintains the same mental state as before, and has not been affected by the twists and turns in life and forced to make changes. .

Each other has not changed.

Friendship has not changed either.

Even if they sit together for the first time after many years apart, they can still talk, laugh, and joke with each other familiarly and naturally.

This will make people feel relaxed and happy, temporarily forgetting some other heavy things.

The topic returned to Xiacheng. When talking about the barbecue stall in front of Lecheng Internet Cafe, Mu Qiu smiled at Li Shiyi and Tian Tian and said that it would be a pity not to go there once and miss too much delicious food.

Li Shiyi smiled and said that he would definitely go and experience it if he had the chance.

Probably because the relaxed atmosphere eased Tian Tian's slightly nervous mood at first, he didn't think too much when he spoke at this time, and subconsciously blurted out:

"We also heard from Fengzi."

"It seems that the barbecue stall is really delicious, and the boss is also very nice——"

Just this sentence.

The moment he spoke, Li Shi's eyelids suddenly twitched as he sat next to Tian Tian.

The smile on Mu Qiu's face paused slightly at this moment, and then faded.

The atmosphere is quiet at this moment.

Tian Tian finally woke up and realized what he had just said. He couldn't help but feel a little at a loss:

"That...I..."

Yes.

Such a dinner where old friends reunited should have passed in a relaxed atmosphere if some deliberately avoided topics were not brought up, but once it was brought up... about other things that were more than warm and pleasant, it was inevitable The ground was brought to the dining table at this moment.

Mu Qiu lowered her eyes slightly.

Li Shiyi cast a reproachful look at Tian Tian beside him. There were some things he shouldn't have said at least at this time.

Tian Tian himself felt so guilty and annoyed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Fortunately, just a moment later, Mu Qiu raised her head again, with a smile on her face again:

"Anyway——"

"If you have a chance, you two should come to Xiacheng and experience it for yourself."

"I guarantee that your trip will be worthwhile."

The topic was changed again as if lightly and as if nothing had happened. It seemed a little deliberate, but the other two people at the table felt as if they had been granted amnesty and immediately came down the steps:

"Okay! Definitely!"

"Wait for a while, make an appointment, and go there!"

It seemed that the three of them were deliberately avoiding certain topics that they did not want to mention for the time being.

As a result, the atmosphere at the table returned to a relaxed and happy mood.

…

It took nearly an hour to eat lunch.

Finally, the dishes on the table were basically swept away, and before Li Shiyi and Tian Tian even had time to exchange glances to determine their next plan, Mu Qiu had already said coldly:

"If you have anything else to say, just say it."

"There is no need to be secretive about our relationship."

Li Shiyi and Tian Tian were stunned when they heard this and looked at Mu Qiu.

The latter looked calm and indifferent.

Yes.

The reason why I deliberately avoided the past hour was not because I didn't want to face it, but I just hoped that at this rare dinner where we would meet again after a long absence, we could just have a good time to reminisce about the past without thinking about other things.

But what needs to be said must be said, and what must be faced must be faced.

Now.

That's it.

Li Shiyi and Tian Tian looked at each other again, and finally made up their minds. Li Shiyi looked at Mu Qiu, and took the lead to speak slowly:

"Does it have to be like this now?"

For the first time since arriving at the restaurant, Mu Qiu's face showed a faint sarcastic smile:

"otherwise?"

"Is there any other way?"

I'm sending you an update. My computer crashed during a meeting today. . . It seems that I need to buy a new device, and I am going to buy an IPAD codeword.
