What kind of experience is it to have a group pet bamboo horse [E-sports]

Xiaojiu froze for a moment, then frowned unconsciously looking at Qiao Hui.

Qiao Hui asked him, "What's wrong? Inconvenient?"

Xiaojiu immediately flattened his brows again, "It's not - what you want to say...is it urgent? How about you wait for me in the room, and I'll go over right away."

Qiao Hui glanced at his screen again, nodded: "OK."

Back in the room, Qiao Hui brushed the glass and refilled the glass of water, then sat on the sofa, thinking while waiting for someone.

It's so late, Xiaojiu doesn't turn on the lights, what are you doing in the training room?And he was hiding it, as if he was afraid of being seen doing something, what could make him nervous like that?

Qiao Hui panicked, feeling that something was going to happen.

After about a quarter of an hour, Xiaojiu knocked on the door and came in.

The two sat on the same sofa, relatively speechless.

After a stalemate for a few minutes, Xiao Jiu was the first to speak: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Qiao Hui didn't want to go around with him, so he went straight to the point: "Tell me about your relationship with the coach."

Xiaojiu looked at him for a while, lowered his eyes, "I'm sorry..."

Qiao Hui said: "You don't have to tell me you're sorry, you didn't say sorry to me either, who should you tell this to, I'm asking about another matter now."

Xiaojiu unconsciously clenched the hand on his lap.

Qiao Hui: "If there is any problem, just tell us. We will help you overcome difficulties and solve problems together. Don't keep everything in your heart."

He paused, and said: "Little Jiu, captain, if you get rid of your captain's status, we are also brothers and friends, or do you mean that you don't regard us as brothers or friends at all?"

Xiao Jiu gritted his teeth, "Of course I regard you as friends."

Qiao Hui said: "Well, since we are friends, you shouldn't hide it. What's the matter between you and the coach? Apart from being your original coach, what other things do you have between the two of you? Is there something in his hands, or is it just that kind of relationship between you two? ——Captain, tell it all, don’t hide it, it’s not good for anyone if you continue to hide it.”

Xiaojiu took a deep breath, his expression was tangled and painful.

Qiao Hui felt distressed seeing him like this, but at this juncture, if he didn't force him, he would definitely continue to hold on, let alone the team pills, he would not be able to hold on himself.

Xiaojiu let out a breath slowly, and the entanglement and pain just now gradually calmed down with this breath.

In the end, there was almost no expression on his face.

Xiaojiu was finally willing to speak, "Craz and I have known each other since before I became a professional. At that time, I was just a beggar, that kind of guy, who would hang out in a fast food restaurant and wait for the customers to finish eating and leave, picking up their leftovers. , to satisfy hunger, a person who barely survives." When he said this, his eyes were fixed on the front, his eyes were slack, as if he had returned to the time.

"This kind of life didn't last long. Once I went to buy someone else's food. I didn't expect that the other person hadn't finished eating. He just left halfway and came back to see me. He couldn't respond and dragged me down. Hitting and kicking. I hadn’t eaten for many days at that time, and I was exhausted. Facing his punches and feet, I didn’t have the ability to resist at all. At that time, I felt that I might be beaten to death, and I prayed, If you want to die, let me die quickly, and die quickly. But unfortunately, I didn't die."

At this time, Xiao Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "A passer-by saw me being beaten and saved me. He not only pulled me up from the man's fist, but also gave me a good meal." Eat enough. I’ve also been hungry for a long time, and suddenly I can eat to my heart’s content, but suddenly I’m not used to it.”

Xiaojiu laughed at himself, and continued, "After eating that meal, I surrendered to that person, thinking that he is the savior of the world, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, so I followed him, hoping that when he would show mercy again He continued to give me food, but later, he didn’t give me another bite of food. He said that money doesn’t come from strong winds. If you want to fill your stomach and ensure food and clothing, you have to exchange it with labor. But I was not very old at that time , I haven’t read any books, so it’s quite difficult to exchange for rewards with my own hands.”

"I was in that area and kept begging for people, hoping they would take me in and give me a job. No matter how hard or tiring I was, as long as I gave money, or food, or a place to live. But I was clumsy and couldn't do anything well. , The jobs that I finally found were basically dismissed quickly. After several twists and turns, I actually met the person who gave me food at the beginning. He knew that I listened to him and worked hard to live. Although I didn’t succeed, I was still quite Glad."

"Later, he helped me find a job in an Internet cafe and learned to be a network administrator. Every day I saw all kinds of people going to the Internet cafe to play various games. Some games were also very attractive to me, but I dared not play. Until Once, when there were not many people in the Internet cafe on a working day, I secretly turned on a machine and tried to play it once. It turned out to be very interesting and addictive. After that, whenever the Internet cafe was free, I would secretly play a few games for a long time. , The number of times is too many, the vigilance will be relaxed, and I was discovered by the owner of the Internet cafe."

"At that time, I thought that my hard-won job would be gone again, but I didn't expect that person to appear again. The owner of the Internet cafe seemed to be friends with him. The two of them got together and chatted for a while. When they came out again, I I heard that person ask me if I would like to follow him and try to make money by playing games to support myself. It was the first time I knew at that time that playing games can actually make money. I didn’t understand anything, so I nodded as soon as my head got hot I agreed. A few days later, that person came to me and took me to another place."

That's where Xiaojiu and e-sports first met.

At the same time, Qiao Hui also understood that the person who saved Xiaojiu and treated him well was Craz.

"I was asked to play a new game on my mobile phone. At that time, no one told me how to play the game. I just followed the novice tutorial, digested the general rules, and then started to play the game according to the other party's requirements. Actual combat. It’s the first time I played a game on a mobile phone. The screen is small, the operation is not suitable, and the rules are not very clear. Leave the phone to me, and give me three days to research and explore by myself, and test me again after three days, if I fail again this time, it means that I can’t get along in this industry, let me go wherever I like.”

"In order to be able to stay, I became cruel. In three days, I slept for four hours in total, and spent the rest of the time studying the game. After three days, I barely passed, but in his hands, I am not considered talented. Players. I told you about the early days of the e-sports industry. There was a lot of pressure and hardship, and the standard of living was not high. Every day, I woke up for training, and I fell asleep after training. Leaving, only a few people gritted their teeth reluctantly to support them."

"Afterwards, we started to participate in competitions frequently. We participated in all kinds of competitions. As long as we can apply for the name, we will basically not miss any opportunity. At first, because of our limited funds, we first participated in the competition in this city, and then the competition With more wins and bonuses, we started to go outside again, to other cities, to meet more and more powerful opponents.”

"Craz was very strict and harsh on us. At that time, when we had poor performance in the competition, he would punish us physically. He kicked us at first, and then he got angry once, and with a cigarette in his hand, he forgot and burned me. In short... Life is not very good. We don't give us the prize money we won in the game. Firstly, he is afraid that we will spend it indiscriminately. Secondly, the team did not sponsor at the time. The prize money is almost all of our income. Those of us who gritted our teeth and persevered in those miserable days are slowly improving, and the team's performance is getting better and better."

"At that time, the league was just formed, and large-scale events began to be planned in an organized and disciplined manner. We used the experience accumulated along the way to enter the league. It was also at that time that we played casual games and wild games. Less time, more time to prepare for the official big game. Craz also treats us better, no longer punches and kicks, but we face a new problem-after the team has a reputation, there will be more People want to join, and there are some talented players with good abilities.”

Xiaojiu took a deep breath, "As I said, I was not considered talented in the team at that time. All my achievements were obtained through hard work. There were not many people in the team at that time, and people like me There is no threat, but it is very popular because of the hard work, but if there are talented players in the team, they can spend less time and reach the same level as me or even a higher level than me. As a coach I will definitely be more interested in that, and my end will be replaced, abandoned, and forgotten."

He glanced at Qiao Hui, then lowered his gaze, "You are also a professional player, you should know the feeling of not being willing to be replaced. Especially for me, playing professionally and living in a team is not just about the most basic livelihood and dreams. In addition, there is another layer of meaning."

Xiaojiu's voice trembled, "I have no home, no family, Craz is the only one who makes me treat him as 'family', where there is him, naturally it is my home... I don't know what he thinks Yes, maybe helping me at the beginning was just a whim, or a little effort, or maybe it was a hothead, but to me, it was really a life-saving kindness, even if he beat and scolded us and physically punished us in the subsequent training, I would still be calm. Accept it, and don’t feel like hating him at all.”

"So, when I knew that there was going to be a newcomer joining and my status would not be guaranteed..." Xiaojiu suddenly stopped, as if he didn't know what to say.

Qiao Hui squinted his eyes when he heard this, "Did you do something to hurt yourself?"

Xiaojiu gave a wry smile and nodded, "I practice hard in private and force myself. Once I feel that I have not practiced well, I light a cigarette and burn myself to remind myself. After I saw the video, someone would I also learned how to use cigarettes to burn fireworks for myself. I couldn’t reach them on my back, so I just twisted them with my hands.”

Qiao Hui felt pain when he heard it, but at the same time, he couldn't imagine that Xiaojiu, who is so gentle, could be so cruel.

He asked, "What happened next?"

"Later," Xiaojiu twitched the corner of his mouth, "I was scalding myself once, and Craz found out. He was so angry that he almost strangled me. Then he saw the wound on my back, and immediately wanted to put it on me. I drove out, and said that I am not suitable for this path, and told me to get out before my brain is completely broken."

"I had nowhere to go, so I sat outside the base with my little luggage. I was afraid of affecting the team, so I didn't dare to sit in a conspicuous place. I just found a small corner and continued to practice playing games with my mobile phone. When the phone was out of battery, I tried to find a place to charge it, but he found it again within two days."

"He took me back, stared at me, took a shower and had dinner, then sat down and had a talk with me. I confessed to him that I had nowhere to go, and... I couldn't do without him, and said what was in my heart Fear, and I kept on promising that I would train hard and train myself privately, even if I put in more effort and endured more hardships, I am not afraid.”

"Craz didn't say anything after listening, he just asked me to promise not to hurt myself again, and said that if I really made a mistake and didn't practice well, then he should punish me—in short, after that conversation, I I went back to the team again, and no one asked me where I had been for the past two days or what happened. I guess he didn’t allow others to ask. But these were nothing. What really surprised me was that after that time, all those who wanted to enter He rejected all the team's prospective rookies, leaving only one as a permanent substitute."

"After I knew about it, I went to him immediately. I asked him if he rejected those people because of me. Craz only said that the team couldn't afford too many idlers, and asked me to train steadily and not be affected by messy things. .It's just that I've been affected."

Xiaojiu stopped and took a breath, because he talked too much, his voice was a little hoarse, Qiao Hui immediately pushed his water glass over, wanting him to drink some to moisten his throat.But Xiaojiu just smiled at him, didn't take it and didn't drink it.

"I found that I had some unusual feelings for Craz. I regarded him as a family member, but also as more than a family member. I would rely on him, and I would unconsciously think about him when I was alone, even when I saw him. When I was in the body... I didn't know what to do, I was helpless, and I didn't dare to tell others. Craz's eyes were poisonous. I was afraid that I would be exposed, so I started to hide from him and didn't go to see him, but he would come looking for me Me, come to provoke me, but after provoking me, give me hints and push me away from him."

"Later, something happened to the team. We were already financially stressed, but we still lost the game. I saw Craz was carrying everything and was under pressure. I was worried for him and wanted to help him, but I didn't Qian, the two have no connections, and I still count on him and rely on him. At that time, I was really anxious and stupid. I went to the doctor when I was sick. I met someone who told me to let me play a fake match for him, as long as that match If we lose, he can give me a sum of money, and he gave me half of it as a deposit at that time, and I will..."

Qiao Hui understood that for money, Xiaojiu agreed to play a match-fixing match, but he was discovered unexpectedly.

He asked, "Later, Craz took it on himself to protect you?"

Xiao Jiu's face was full of fatigue, and he nodded lightly, "No one else knows about this, just the two of us. He took care of everything for me, and was sentenced to a permanent suspension and expulsion from the league."

Xiaojiu was in extreme pain, he bit his lips tightly, almost bleeding from his mouth, "I don't want to do this, I can bear my own mistakes, why should he suffer for me!"

Qiao Hui said slowly: "Maybe I don't want you to ruin the future because of this incident."

Qiao Hui leaned against the back of the sofa, resting his head on his hands.

He felt that Craz should also have feelings for Xiaojiu, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry when he saw him hurting himself, and quickly find him back after he calmed down.

He provoked Xiaojiu when he was avoiding him, but he didn't reveal everything, so he must be very conflicted.

In addition, he will bear the mistakes for Xiaojiu... There are only two kinds of people in the world who can do this kind of thing, one is a family member, and the other is a lover.

But Qiao Hui couldn't figure it out, since they both have each other in their hearts, why has their taste changed now?

Xiaojiu was silent for a long time, and finally continued: "After Craz left, the team got a new coach. The new coach quickly bought more capable rookies, and replaced me without hesitation. I I wandered around in the team at that time for a while, and then came to Vac. At first, I was in the third team, and then I slowly honed it until I was favored by my then captain. .Teach to be the captain."

Qiao Hui asked, "What about you and Craz? You two should have met after that, right?"

Xiaojiu said "hmm": "Yeah, I contacted him at first, but he ignored me, treated me like a stranger, and blocked me. After a long time, I didn't hear from him. It has been a year and a half since I contacted him. After he contacted me, there was no pleasantries, no opening remarks, just... let me borrow money. "

Qiao Hui thought "Sure enough".

Xiaojiu went on to say: "He didn't tell me why, he just said that there was something urgent and I needed it urgently. I also saved a lot of money during this period, and since he wanted it, I gave it to him. But after that, he took care of me one after another. I asked for it many times, but I didn’t say the reason every time, until I asked him what he wanted the money for, and he didn’t tell me the truth. He would talk about making money to raise a little boy, and he would gamble. Said that I had to spend money to protect myself when I committed a crime... In short, one is more ridiculous than the other, I naturally don't believe it, so I said that if he doesn't tell the truth, the money will not be given to him, but he suddenly brought up the matter of my match-fixing, saying that if I If I don’t give it to him, he will expose the truth of this matter, making me unable to get along in the club and the league. He also said that he will add fuel to the situation to make the matter more serious, so that even if I retire in the future, I will no longer be able to be in this circle. continue."

Qiao Hui couldn't help but said, "Fuck, he's sick!"

Xiaojiu shook his head, "What he said is not true, I always think he has some difficulties."

Qiao Hui said: "There's a fart! His brain was squeezed by the door!"

He let out a breath and asked, "So, he just used the match-fixing thing to keep threatening you and controlling you?"

Xiaojiu hesitated for a while, but still nodded.

Qiao Hui closed his eyes.

This matter... is really difficult.

Craz is hateful, but if you really want to confront him head-on, if you push him to speak out about Xiaojiu, then he will definitely be suspended.

And the current alliance is stricter than it was back then. After careful investigation, he will definitely not let Xiaojiu go easily, so his career is probably over here.

Although there is something wrong with Xiaojiu, the crime does not lead to death.Besides, Vac is the Vac of all of them, and no one is complete without anyone.If there is no wine in...

Qiao Hui's heart throbbed, and he didn't dare to think about the following things.

"Captain," Qiao Hui pulled himself together, "Don't tell anyone about this, let me think about it."

Xiaojiu looked at him quietly, without making any statement.

Qiao Hui thought about it and said, "Don't worry too much about the next few weeks of competition, even though we are being coached by that idiot..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of the complicated relationship between Xiaojiu and him, as well as his entangled feelings for Craz, coughed hurriedly, and covered it up, "...it's torn apart, but it's okay, the three of us are still in the same heart. Bite Gritting our teeth, we can still hold on!"

Xiaojiu smiled very slowly, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "You look more like a captain than me now."

Qiao Hui was flustered by what he said: "Don't, don't, I'm not the captain's material, captain, don't give up, we are still pointing at you."

Xiaojiu nodded: "I see, let's work hard together."

After sending Xiaojiu away, Qiao Hui lay on the bed and didn't fall asleep for a long time.

After hearing so much from Xiaojiu just now, he knew that Xiaojiu was not lying, but he felt that there was something wrong in the middle.

what is it then?

Qiao Hui pinched the bridge of his nose, unable to figure it out.

It wasn't until he got a headache from thinking about it and thought he couldn't use his brain for a second, that he finally gave up and decided to go to sleep.

It's just that he didn't sleep for a long time when Qiao Hui was woken up by the vibration of his mobile phone.

Dazedly, he touched it and took a look, and it showed "Lian Que incoming call" on it.

Qiao Hui was so sleepy that he wanted to smash his cell phone. What was the call? He just wanted to sleep now and didn't want to call him.

But before the other party hung up, he still couldn't resist answering the phone.

"Hello—" Qiao Hui made a long voice, his tone full of laziness and discomfort of being woken up.

Lian Que didn't care about his displeasure, and said eagerly: "What is your captain wanting to do? Break the pot and smash it, burn everything?"

Qiao Hui was still in a daze and didn't understand what he meant.

Lian Que explained: "Last night, someone anonymously reported to the league. The content of the report was that your captain was blamed for playing a match-fixing game back then. Immediately after that, there was another post on the forum about the messy things between him and your current coach. It's all written clearly. I found someone to check the post, and it was sent from your base."
