Boys can't shed tears easily
Chapter 37
Fortunately, the scene was dimly lit, and the visual effect of Mu Bai being as red as a peach was not obvious.
When he came back to his senses, Jize had already left, reaching out to shake hands with Xialu Youzhou.
You Zhou usually speaks wildly, seeing Fade himself trembling like a mouse, the admiration in his eyes overflowed his eyes.
Mu Bai looked at it for a few seconds, then looked away again.
As soon as he entered the waiting room, Cuckoo waved his hand to greet several people, his face didn't have any heaviness of losing the game.
"Not bad. We played very well today. Although we didn't win the game, we gained momentum. If we continue with this style of play, we may not lose in the next fight with JG." Cuckoo said, "Let's go rubbing together tonight , I treat you."
"Then I want to eat crayfish, the kind that weighs seven or eight catties and a few draft beers." Jiang Chuang said first.
Shrimp dumplings raised their hands: "I can't eat spicy food, so I vote for hot pot."
Cuckoo: "Why do you eat hot pot if you can't eat spicy food?"
"The bottom of the pot of medicinal materials." The shrimp dumpling answered as a matter of course: "20-year-olds are about to start keeping in good health, do you understand?"
"Can I not go?" Mu Bai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly had a voice, "I want to go back and review."
Cuckoo glanced at him and interrupted mercilessly: "No."
Being rejected suddenly, Mu Bai raised his head in surprise, his face full of puzzlement.
Don't coaches want their players to work harder and better?
Cuckoo scolded: "People have to combine work and rest, so what if you seize this time to replay? After the replay, if you can beat Fade, I will let you go. If you can't, just obediently eat."
Mu Bai: "..."
Although I don't fully understand it, it seems to be quite right.
Since Cuckoo made such a strong request, he couldn't say anything more.
Mu Bai put on his backpack and got into the car, huddled in the corner and looked at his phone for a while, then the car drove to the place to eat smoothly.
Thanks to the rest of the e-sports players, in fact, it is dinner, and this time can be counted as supper.
There is no one left in the shop.
Cuckoo booked a private room, a big table with a circle of chairs looked quite grand, Mu Bai randomly found a place to sit down, and played with his phone with his head down.
He has always been indifferent to what he eats, as long as he can import it.
Thanks to JG's high popularity, many people on the Internet are already discussing the just-concluded game.
Thousands of stories of high-rise buildings were piled up below the official event news on social software, and it was even on the hot search of the day.
This is the first time that UM, which has been silent for a long time, has received such a huge amount of discussion.
[Congratulations to JG for winning five consecutive victories!Rush towards the solid standings! 】
[Hee hee, in the next game, KH is the last one in the last season. If you win all the points, you will be second in points. Don't open the champagne so quickly]
[Let’s win it first and then talk about it, it’s only funny if you beat a weak team and overturned]
[Didn't your JG overturn tonight?It’s embarrassing to call a UM even 2:1]
[What's wrong with UM, UM has eaten your rice?But anyone who has watched tonight’s game can’t say that UM is a weak team]
[I advise UM fans not to be too ostentatious, losing is losing, winning a small round is also losing.Headwind output is not advisable]
[Sorry to interrupt, does UM's new mid laner know Ji Shen?I saw they were whispering before bowing, and they were still talking after shaking hands]
【…】
【………】
[Although the timing of your interruption is weird, brother, it seems to be...]
[I've been wanting to say for a long time, these two people are too familiar, right?After all, it’s not a team, are we exchanging tactics?]
[Come on, have you ever seen someone exchange tactics so close that you wish to kiss them? 】
Kiss the same?
Mu Bai was taken aback suddenly.
At first, I was just worried that my teammates would hear me, so I got closer. Could it be... is it really that close?
I don't know why, Mu Bai's whole heart twitched. He turned down several pages and found that this comment was quickly drowned in the sea of quarrels, so he was relieved.
It seems that not many people care, and their distance is not as close as netizens said.
There was the sound of the door being pushed behind him, and the footsteps stopped slowly behind him. Mu Bai thought it was the waiter who came to serve the food, but suddenly he saw Cuckoo stand up and put on a posture of welcoming guests.
"It's finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Cuckoo said, "Come on, let me introduce you. These are our Haicheng brother team JG. Everyone..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly heard a crisp sound.
Mu Bai's phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, the screen was still on.
The last comment is horizontal in the center, and the black text on the white background is bright and eye-catching.
The young man bent down, the coat was still wrapped in the cold air from the outside, his cold white fingers picked up the dropped mobile phone very naturally, and put it in Mu Bai's hand.
The fingertips touched the boy's warm palm, and they were pulled away in an instant.
Ji Ze lowered his eyes and looked at Mu Bai's drooping jet-black hair. The well-behaved hair looked soft and easy to touch, like a kitten that finally got its fur.
It's not as pitiful as it used to be.
He reached out his hand and rubbed it lightly.
"Be careful, don't fall again."
The young man's voice came to his ears quietly, Mu Bai's fingertips tightened, his face burned uncomfortably, and he nodded sullenly.
Cuckoo stared blankly, and only after a while did he spit out the remaining two words: "...get along with each other."
The team with the best relationship with UM is JG. In fact, the reason is very simple.
Because everyone is close.
The subway is on the same line, and the bosses on both sides used to be entrepreneurial brothers.
It's just that one is doing a little better now... that's all.
When we were still playing S games together, we could make dinner appointments, but now we can only make appointments once in the regular season.
"Are you going to play KH after a few rounds?" Ruan Yi asked.
Although he sat on the bench for three sets in today's game, Ruan Yi, as the only designated mascot of JG, still followed.
He is a salty fish, as long as he has money, it doesn't matter whether he plays or not, he is also happy.
"KH?" Mu Bai in the corner raised his head.
Looking at that beautiful face, Ruan Yi couldn't help but look at it for a few more seconds before returning to his senses: "It's Mike's new team, Mike, you should know, he used to be with Bear TV, so he's still your live broadcaster .”
Mu Bai shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."
Ruan Yi: "..."
"To put it simply, he is an Internet-addicted teenager who has entered the top ten in the game server. In the past, Fade has been live broadcasting the gimmick of the world's second mid laner. His attitude is very humble and polite, and he has attracted a lot of JG fans." Ruan Yi shrugged, " But now, the relationship is not so good."
Mu Bai asked puzzledly: "Why?"
"It's hard to say, you can search the Internet yourself." Ruan Yi hesitated.
"I see, thank you, Brother Ruan Yi." Mu Bai nodded clearly, and thanked him earnestly.
Stared at by those beautiful eyes, a brother called Ruan Yi uncomfortable, and added in a low voice: "Just call Ruan Yi."
Mu Bai looked down at his phone.
When he entered Mike, he remembered that he had heard this name mentioned in the live broadcast room before.
What did they say? "Mike and Fade are on the same level as mid laners."
Mu Bai clicked into the search bar and entered "MikeFade".
A group of names entered, and relevant information quickly popped up.
"The former predecessor, today's opponent? Mike's personal interview sparked controversy".
Mu Bai opened the webpage.
The content is very simple. It is roughly the life of Mike from the game server passerby king to the current professional player.
The first half was indeed as Ruan Yi said, based on Jize's reputation, he declared everywhere that he was a fan of Jize, and even bought a set of support equipment.
In that year, he successfully entered the top ten of the game server, was selected by KH to enter the trial training, and this year's spring game successfully entered the starting lineup.
His streaming style has changed since then.
Even Fade, who crashed into a race suit, stopped saying hello, and turned a blind eye when seeing fans with FadeIDs giving gifts. In personal interviews, he even bluntly said that he was not very familiar with other professional players.
The comments below are fried.
[Suppressed, why does this kind of player who keeps turning back and then loses other people's traffic still have fans]
【You never grew up?Is it normal to dislike things you used to like now? 】
[Then is it true that your Mike rubbed against Fade?When you really need a small fan, you can't mention it when you enter the LPL.In Mike's live broadcast room, he was banned for saying Fade (hehe)]
[Speaking of the strength of e-sports, the so-called hype is boring, just look at the post-holiday regular season.Whoever loses is the son, no one has an opinion]
[No opinion, it's a pity that they didn't fight before the holiday, otherwise some people will have a bad time this Spring Festival]
It's just a marketing account article with just over a thousand views, and there are already hundreds of comments below.
It was the first time Mu Bai smelled such a strong smell of gunpowder.
He glanced sideways at Jize's direction, the young man was sitting upright, eating beef slowly, occasionally looking down at his phone.
It's so quiet that it doesn't fit in with the whole hot pot restaurant.
Counting it, Mike can be regarded as Jize's junior.
Will Jize be so kind when facing other juniors?
Mu Bai's mind wandered beyond the sky.
After the food and wine passed by, everyone was in high spirits.
The new members of the two teams gradually became acquainted. Ruan Yi moved a stool and sat in the middle of the UM team, chatting with Xia Jiao about the latest gossip in the circle.
"If you ask me, TAG's mid laner definitely has a crush on the hostess... Don't believe me, I saw him sneaking around at the studio door with my own eyes, and there was at least half a leg between the two of them." Ruan Yida Talk about it.
"Isn't that the case in the e-sports circle? There are either fans or hosts, and hosts are better than fans, at least they know the basics." Xia Dumpling frowned, picked up a lotus root slice covered with chili, and brushed it vigorously in a teacup.
In the end, I went to the hot pot restaurant, but ordered a spicy pot.
Still refuse to order mandarin ducks!
"According to that, wouldn't it be the best teammate, with the same interests and hobbies." Ruan Yi sighed, "It would be great if I could have a female player as a teammate with me."
Xia Dumpling laughed at him: "Then you might as well expect the cats in your base to turn into humans directly."
"That's okay." Ruan Yi shook his head: "The cat is already Jize's private property, even if it becomes a human, it will still be a little white cat that sticks to Jize alone."
Suddenly thought of something, Ruan Yi took the initiative to raise his cup to Mu Bai who was sitting beside him: "Xiaobai, you are eighteen, come and have a drink too?"
Mu Bai, who was caught off guard by the name call, froze for a moment, and a layer of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
After crossing over, he never drank alcohol once, but in his previous life, he could hardly touch alcohol, and he was drunk at every sip.
It's just that Ruan Yi's expression was earnest, Mu Bai pursed his lips, and finally picked up the wine glass: "Okay, thank you."
The two glasses collided, and when Ruan Yi was about to drink it, Jize's voice came softly: "He can't drink."
Mu Bai's fingers tightened slightly, and he suddenly put down the cup.
"Well, I can't drink."
Ruan Yi eager to try: "?"
No, can people change so fast?
After eating and drinking enough, the two teams parted at the entrance of the hotel.
"See you next time after the festival, train hard, and see you in the playoffs." Liang Tian hammered Cuckoo's shoulder, his eyes paused on Type and Yu Cheng who had never communicated, and he sighed silently.
Mu Bai followed at the end of the crowd, looking at the straight back in front of him, he suddenly wanted to say something.
After all, he closed his mouth, turned his head obediently, and got into UM's car.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated and a message was sent.
Haven't seen this account for a long time.
[Jze]: See you in the playoffs.
The joy in Mu Bai's eyes increased for no reason, the boy raised his lips, poked the virtual keyboard and replied seriously.
[Wood Baibai]: See you in the playoffs.
The next day the coach arranged a replay, and then buried himself in the Summoner's Canyon to tear up the rank for a few days, and the time came naturally to the last day before the festival.
During the Spring Festival, the LPL schedule will be suspended for half a month, but in fact the club's vacation is only seven days normally.
Use the rest of the time to practice.
"Are you really not going back?" Cuckoo asked looking at the Spring Festival schedule that Mu Bai submitted.
The players of the team come from all over the country, and the club usually reimburses them for their round-trip air tickets from home, so they need to apply in advance.
But what Mu Bai handed over was only a blank.
Fearing that Mu Bai would not know the price of the ticket, Cuckoo specially added: "Are you from Jiangcheng? The Spring Festival ticket from Jiangcheng to Haicheng costs [-] yuan. If you don't report it, you will have to pay for it yourself."
Jiangcheng is written on the ID card. Mu Bai once checked the photos of this place, but his mind was blank.
No memory at all.
"Well, I won't go back." Mu Bai shook his head, "I'll just stay in the base."
"Okay. Then let me tell auntie, her house is nearby, and she can bring you meals. But it's not like you can order food like usual." Cuckoo said, and marked "Residence" on Mu Bai's itinerary registration. "Two words.
Mu Bai thanked Cuckoo and returned to the training room.
The holidays are approaching, and the rest of the team members are eager to return home, and yesterday's rank was extremely unmotivated.
The night before New Year's Eve, teammates all left with backpacks, but Auntie and the local shrimp dumplings from Haicheng stayed behind.
When he got up the next day, Mu Bai started the live broadcast.
Thanks to the blessing of the last game, his popularity in the live broadcast room skyrocketed, and the number of subscribers officially exceeded the 150 million mark, heading towards 200 million.
150 million.
Haicheng only has a total of [-] million people. If it is converted into the city, one-tenth of the people in Haicheng have paid attention to him?
Thinking about it feels very unscientific.
Not long after Mu Bai started the broadcast, the popularity of the live broadcast was on the homepage, and there was a label of "professional master" in the upper left corner.
Seeing him very embarrassed, it took him a long time to adjust it until he realized that it was the default label set by the system. The person in charge smiled and said that he could adjust it to [Charming Nova].
Mu Bai: "..."
That's it.
"Play whatever you want today, until you go to bed. Play other games? It's not impossible. Let's play a few games of League of Legends first. I want to try Yong En recently. Whether it will be broadcast during the Spring Festival..." Mu Bai hesitated for a second, "Let's live broadcast as usual, and stay with you."
The barrage was instantly filled with emotion, Mu Bai narrowed his eyes in embarrassment, and a blush appeared on his cheeks.
Where is it to accompany the audience, it is clear that there will be no one in the base at that time, and it will be dark everywhere.
He wants the audience to accompany him.
At noon, the last remaining shrimp dumplings left with their luggage.
The base quickly cooled down, Mu Bai managed to end a round, and when his points rose to No. 15 in the competition server, he realized that the base was almost empty.
The lights outside the training room are dimmed.
The aunt who was entrusted by Cuckoo with the important task of "rearing left-behind children" turned her head at the stairs and shouted in Mu Bai's direction: "Xiao Bai, I left a bunch of keys at the door. Remember to lock the door before you go to bed. Someone rings the bell to watch in advance." Cat eyes!"
Mu Baiying: "Okay, thank you."
Auntie nodded, her figure gradually disappeared at the end of the stairs, and the door was closed forcefully, making a soft "bang".
He was the only one left in the base.
Mu Bai stared at the empty staircase for a second, then turned his gaze back, planning to start the next game.
The mobile phone at hand vibrated suddenly, and a call came.
It was an unknown number, and Jiangcheng was written in the address notes.
The original home.
Mu Bai hesitated to pick it up, and the deep voice of the middle-aged man came to his ears through the receiver: "Mu Bai, I'm Dad."
dad?
Mu Bai was stunned for a second and didn't answer.
He didn't know if it was the liar or the original body's father.
His silence was also noticed on the other side, and his voice became more pleasing: "Dad wanted to give you a birthday present before, but you changed your mobile phone number, and no one can be found. I don't even know how to contact you. You How is it now? I heard that you are playing some e-sports competition, isn't your income quite high?"
Without waiting for Mu Bai's response, the middle-aged man continued: "It's not my father's intention to drive you out. You know, your aunt doesn't like children all the time, and father can't help it. Doesn't father give you money every month? Have you paid? More than 500, it’s all the private money my father saved with great difficulty.”
The man's voice was very soft, especially the word "Auntie" was vague, as if he was deliberately avoiding someone.
"Look, the Spring Festival is coming soon, do you want to come out for a meal or something?" the man said.
He was so nervous that a thin layer of sweat squeezed out of his forehead, and his fingers unconsciously pressed the back of the phone.
"Can you do it? I managed to find the mobile phone number through my relationship. Don't waste money on me." The woman asked in a low voice behind him, "I didn't hear him say a word. This is your obedient habit. My dear son? I heard that their professional players earn tens of millions of dollars a season, and he is reluctant to give you a single penny."
The man swallowed, and asked the phone again: "Hello? Xiaobai, is your signal not good?"
After a while, the boy's slightly hoarse voice came from inside.
"...Don't call me Xiaobai."
The man's face turned green.
He looked gloomy, took a deep breath, and squeezed a smile on his face: "Okay, don't bark, don't bark. Dad knows that you have opinions on me, but after all, we are a family. Let's sit down and have a good talk."
Another long silence.
Just when the man was about to have a seizure, the phone suddenly beeped.
His phone... was unilaterally cut off.
Mu Bai threw the phone aside and looked up.
Just when the man uttered the second paragraph, the memory that had been buried deep in the brain revived little by little, tearing the blood vessels, and his headache was about to split.
He finally remembered.
The man is indeed his father. After the original mother passed away at the age of 12, the man brought little Mu Bai to Haicheng.The man was good-looking and could talk, and soon found a job, but the man was never satisfied with it.
He kept talking about his girlfriends, each of whom was richer than the man, but he hadn't been able to remarry for a long time.
The latest girlfriend is a few years older than the man. She opened a small factory in the suburbs. She is the strongest financially among the girlfriends. She is also willing to marry a man, but she doesn't like the extra child.
The man drove Yuanshen out of the house that night and asked him to rent a house outside, with only a few hundred living expenses fixed every month.
Just throw the 17-year-old out and ignore it.
The first call he made as an adult was after he stabilized, the first thing he asked was money.
Besides, his birthday has passed long ago.
Before the original body fell into the water and he crossed over...
It's over.
In fact, Mu Bai has no relationship with the original body's father at all, and it was only a few minutes ago when he remembered him.
But the moment the man explained, Mu Bai's eyes suddenly burned up, and the aggrieved heart was overwhelmed, and there was an unignorable sourness from the tip of his nose. He tried his best to bear it, but the tears were almost uncontrollable. overflowed.
Almost reflexively, he instantly turned off the live broadcast room.
The lights are very dark at night.
The teenager curled up on the gaming chair by himself, sobbing softly, his fingertips were cold from crying, but he kept poking the screen with his fingers.
Mu Bai opened another bank card of the original body, and all the money transferred by the man remained on this card.
There are only three transfer records, and only 1500 has been transferred.
In the eyes of others, the original body is cowardly and has no opinion, but he is worthless.
Mu Bai selected the strange number, transferred all 1500 to the man's account, and added another 20.
This is all the salary left on him, plus the bonus for two regular season games.
The man didn't take much care of him since he was a child, and Yuanshen started doing part-time delivery to make money since he was a child. The 20 yuan was enough to make up for all the expenses the man spent on him.
Mu Bai was sobbing, tears were dripping from his lower eyelashes, he pursed his lips, and swiftly removed the number from the address book.
A few minutes later, another number also called, and the location was also Haicheng. Mu Bai didn't even look at it, and packed it up and threw it into the blacklist.
He couldn't remember the family that he had been curious about for so long, but it was just like this.
To put it bluntly, if it is an important person or thing, how could it be so easily forgotten.
As if wishing not to remember it for the rest of my life.
Mu Bai rubbed his red eyes with his palm, clicked on Jize's profile picture, and sent a message.
[Wood Baibai]: Where are you?
【Jze】: Eat out and return to the base in a while.
As if aware of something wrong, Jize added another sentence.
[Jze]: What's wrong?
Tears fell on his fingertips drop by drop, Mu Bai couldn't wipe it clean, so he simply ignored it, just sucked his nose and typed:
[Wood Baibai]: Do you have time?
【Wood Baibai】: Come solo.
The author has something to say: the strawberry leaves are yellow, and I have to go to the hospital tomorrow, maybe there is no update (just maybe [highlight]
感谢在2021-09-1823:02:10~2021-09-1921:46:51期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~

Thanks to the little angels of the irrigation nutrient solution: 10 bottles of Shui Reverse San, Soft Asia Fen Dae; 1 bottle of ccaa, Chi Zhi;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
When he came back to his senses, Jize had already left, reaching out to shake hands with Xialu Youzhou.
You Zhou usually speaks wildly, seeing Fade himself trembling like a mouse, the admiration in his eyes overflowed his eyes.
Mu Bai looked at it for a few seconds, then looked away again.
As soon as he entered the waiting room, Cuckoo waved his hand to greet several people, his face didn't have any heaviness of losing the game.
"Not bad. We played very well today. Although we didn't win the game, we gained momentum. If we continue with this style of play, we may not lose in the next fight with JG." Cuckoo said, "Let's go rubbing together tonight , I treat you."
"Then I want to eat crayfish, the kind that weighs seven or eight catties and a few draft beers." Jiang Chuang said first.
Shrimp dumplings raised their hands: "I can't eat spicy food, so I vote for hot pot."
Cuckoo: "Why do you eat hot pot if you can't eat spicy food?"
"The bottom of the pot of medicinal materials." The shrimp dumpling answered as a matter of course: "20-year-olds are about to start keeping in good health, do you understand?"
"Can I not go?" Mu Bai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly had a voice, "I want to go back and review."
Cuckoo glanced at him and interrupted mercilessly: "No."
Being rejected suddenly, Mu Bai raised his head in surprise, his face full of puzzlement.

Thousands of stories of high-rise buildings were piled up below the official event news on social software, and it was even on the hot search of the day.
This is the first time that UM, which has been silent for a long time, has received such a huge amount of discussion.
[Congratulations to JG for winning five consecutive victories!Rush towards the solid standings! 】

The first half was indeed as Ruan Yi said, based on Jize's reputation, he declared everywhere that he was a fan of Jize, and even bought a set of support equipment.
In that year, he successfully entered the top ten of the game server, was selected by KH to enter the trial training, and this year's spring game successfully entered the starting lineup.
His streaming style has changed since then.
Even Fade, who crashed into a race suit, stopped saying hello, and turned a blind eye when seeing fans with FadeIDs giving gifts. In personal interviews, he even bluntly said that he was not very familiar with other professional players.
The comments below are fried.
[Suppressed, why does this kind of player who keeps turning back and then loses other people's traffic still have fans]
【You never grew up?Is it normal to dislike things you used to like now? 】
[Then is it true that your Mike rubbed against Fade?When you really need a small fan, you can't mention it when you enter the LPL.In Mike's live broadcast room, he was banned for saying Fade (hehe)]
[Speaking of the strength of e-sports, the so-called hype is boring, just look at the post-holiday regular season.Whoever loses is the son, no one has an opinion]
[No opinion, it's a pity that they didn't fight before the holiday, otherwise some people will have a bad time this Spring Festival]
It's just a marketing account article with just over a thousand views, and there are already hundreds of comments below.
It was the first time Mu Bai smelled such a strong smell of gunpowder.
He glanced sideways at Jize's direction, the young man was sitting upright, eating beef slowly, occasionally looking down at his phone.
It's so quiet that it doesn't fit in with the whole hot pot restaurant.
Counting it, Mike can be regarded as Jize's junior.
Will Jize be so kind when facing other juniors?
Mu Bai's mind wandered beyond the sky.
After the food and wine passed by, everyone was in high spirits.
The new members of the two teams gradually became acquainted. Ruan Yi moved a stool and sat in the middle of the UM team, chatting with Xia Jiao about the latest gossip in the circle.
"If you ask me, TAG's mid laner definitely has a crush on the hostess... Don't believe me, I saw him sneaking around at the studio door with my own eyes, and there was at least half a leg between the two of them." Ruan Yida Talk about it.
"Isn't that the case in the e-sports circle? There are either fans or hosts, and hosts are better than fans, at least they know the basics." Xia Dumpling frowned, picked up a lotus root slice covered with chili, and brushed it vigorously in a teacup.
In the end, I went to the hot pot restaurant, but ordered a spicy pot.
Still refuse to order mandarin ducks!
"According to that, wouldn't it be the best teammate, with the same interests and hobbies." Ruan Yi sighed, "It would be great if I could have a female player as a teammate with me."
Xia Dumpling laughed at him: "Then you might as well expect the cats in your base to turn into humans directly."
"That's okay." Ruan Yi shook his head: "The cat is already Jize's private property, even if it becomes a human, it will still be a little white cat that sticks to Jize alone."
Suddenly thought of something, Ruan Yi took the initiative to raise his cup to Mu Bai who was sitting beside him: "Xiaobai, you are eighteen, come and have a drink too?"
Mu Bai, who was caught off guard by the name call, froze for a moment, and a layer of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
After crossing over, he never drank alcohol once, but in his previous life, he could hardly touch alcohol, and he was drunk at every sip.
It's just that Ruan Yi's expression was earnest, Mu Bai pursed his lips, and finally picked up the wine glass: "Okay, thank you."
The two glasses collided, and when Ruan Yi was about to drink it, Jize's voice came softly: "He can't drink."
Mu Bai's fingers tightened slightly, and he suddenly put down the cup.
"Well, I can't drink."
Ruan Yi eager to try: "?"
No, can people change so fast?
After eating and drinking enough, the two teams parted at the entrance of the hotel.
"See you next time after the festival, train hard, and see you in the playoffs." Liang Tian hammered Cuckoo's shoulder, his eyes paused on Type and Yu Cheng who had never communicated, and he sighed silently.
Mu Bai followed at the end of the crowd, looking at the straight back in front of him, he suddenly wanted to say something.
After all, he closed his mouth, turned his head obediently, and got into UM's car.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated and a message was sent.
Haven't seen this account for a long time.
[Jze]: See you in the playoffs.
The joy in Mu Bai's eyes increased for no reason, the boy raised his lips, poked the virtual keyboard and replied seriously.
[Wood Baibai]: See you in the playoffs.
The next day the coach arranged a replay, and then buried himself in the Summoner's Canyon to tear up the rank for a few days, and the time came naturally to the last day before the festival.
During the Spring Festival, the LPL schedule will be suspended for half a month, but in fact the club's vacation is only seven days normally.
Use the rest of the time to practice.
"Are you really not going back?" Cuckoo asked looking at the Spring Festival schedule that Mu Bai submitted.
The players of the team come from all over the country, and the club usually reimburses them for their round-trip air tickets from home, so they need to apply in advance.
But what Mu Bai handed over was only a blank.
Fearing that Mu Bai would not know the price of the ticket, Cuckoo specially added: "Are you from Jiangcheng? The Spring Festival ticket from Jiangcheng to Haicheng costs [-] yuan. If you don't report it, you will have to pay for it yourself."
Jiangcheng is written on the ID card. Mu Bai once checked the photos of this place, but his mind was blank.
No memory at all.
"Well, I won't go back." Mu Bai shook his head, "I'll just stay in the base."
"Okay. Then let me tell auntie, her house is nearby, and she can bring you meals. But it's not like you can order food like usual." Cuckoo said, and marked "Residence" on Mu Bai's itinerary registration. "Two words.
Mu Bai thanked Cuckoo and returned to the training room.
The holidays are approaching, and the rest of the team members are eager to return home, and yesterday's rank was extremely unmotivated.
The night before New Year's Eve, teammates all left with backpacks, but Auntie and the local shrimp dumplings from Haicheng stayed behind.
When he got up the next day, Mu Bai started the live broadcast.
Thanks to the blessing of the last game, his popularity in the live broadcast room skyrocketed, and the number of subscribers officially exceeded the 150 million mark, heading towards 200 million.
150 million.
Haicheng only has a total of [-] million people. If it is converted into the city, one-tenth of the people in Haicheng have paid attention to him?
Thinking about it feels very unscientific.
Not long after Mu Bai started the broadcast, the popularity of the live broadcast was on the homepage, and there was a label of "professional master" in the upper left corner.
Seeing him very embarrassed, it took him a long time to adjust it until he realized that it was the default label set by the system. The person in charge smiled and said that he could adjust it to [Charming Nova].
Mu Bai: "..."
That's it.
"Play whatever you want today, until you go to bed. Play other games? It's not impossible. Let's play a few games of League of Legends first. I want to try Yong En recently. Whether it will be broadcast during the Spring Festival..." Mu Bai hesitated for a second, "Let's live broadcast as usual, and stay with you."
The barrage was instantly filled with emotion, Mu Bai narrowed his eyes in embarrassment, and a blush appeared on his cheeks.
Where is it to accompany the audience, it is clear that there will be no one in the base at that time, and it will be dark everywhere.
He wants the audience to accompany him.
At noon, the last remaining shrimp dumplings left with their luggage.
The base quickly cooled down, Mu Bai managed to end a round, and when his points rose to No. 15 in the competition server, he realized that the base was almost empty.
The lights outside the training room are dimmed.
The aunt who was entrusted by Cuckoo with the important task of "rearing left-behind children" turned her head at the stairs and shouted in Mu Bai's direction: "Xiao Bai, I left a bunch of keys at the door. Remember to lock the door before you go to bed. Someone rings the bell to watch in advance." Cat eyes!"
Mu Baiying: "Okay, thank you."
Auntie nodded, her figure gradually disappeared at the end of the stairs, and the door was closed forcefully, making a soft "bang".
He was the only one left in the base.
Mu Bai stared at the empty staircase for a second, then turned his gaze back, planning to start the next game.
The mobile phone at hand vibrated suddenly, and a call came.
It was an unknown number, and Jiangcheng was written in the address notes.
The original home.
Mu Bai hesitated to pick it up, and the deep voice of the middle-aged man came to his ears through the receiver: "Mu Bai, I'm Dad."
dad?
Mu Bai was stunned for a second and didn't answer.
He didn't know if it was the liar or the original body's father.
His silence was also noticed on the other side, and his voice became more pleasing: "Dad wanted to give you a birthday present before, but you changed your mobile phone number, and no one can be found. I don't even know how to contact you. You How is it now? I heard that you are playing some e-sports competition, isn't your income quite high?"
Without waiting for Mu Bai's response, the middle-aged man continued: "It's not my father's intention to drive you out. You know, your aunt doesn't like children all the time, and father can't help it. Doesn't father give you money every month? Have you paid? More than 500, it’s all the private money my father saved with great difficulty.”
The man's voice was very soft, especially the word "Auntie" was vague, as if he was deliberately avoiding someone.
"Look, the Spring Festival is coming soon, do you want to come out for a meal or something?" the man said.
He was so nervous that a thin layer of sweat squeezed out of his forehead, and his fingers unconsciously pressed the back of the phone.
"Can you do it? I managed to find the mobile phone number through my relationship. Don't waste money on me." The woman asked in a low voice behind him, "I didn't hear him say a word. This is your obedient habit. My dear son? I heard that their professional players earn tens of millions of dollars a season, and he is reluctant to give you a single penny."
The man swallowed, and asked the phone again: "Hello? Xiaobai, is your signal not good?"
After a while, the boy's slightly hoarse voice came from inside.
"...Don't call me Xiaobai."
The man's face turned green.
He looked gloomy, took a deep breath, and squeezed a smile on his face: "Okay, don't bark, don't bark. Dad knows that you have opinions on me, but after all, we are a family. Let's sit down and have a good talk."
Another long silence.
Just when the man was about to have a seizure, the phone suddenly beeped.
His phone... was unilaterally cut off.
Mu Bai threw the phone aside and looked up.
Just when the man uttered the second paragraph, the memory that had been buried deep in the brain revived little by little, tearing the blood vessels, and his headache was about to split.
He finally remembered.
The man is indeed his father. After the original mother passed away at the age of 12, the man brought little Mu Bai to Haicheng.The man was good-looking and could talk, and soon found a job, but the man was never satisfied with it.
He kept talking about his girlfriends, each of whom was richer than the man, but he hadn't been able to remarry for a long time.
The latest girlfriend is a few years older than the man. She opened a small factory in the suburbs. She is the strongest financially among the girlfriends. She is also willing to marry a man, but she doesn't like the extra child.
The man drove Yuanshen out of the house that night and asked him to rent a house outside, with only a few hundred living expenses fixed every month.
Just throw the 17-year-old out and ignore it.
The first call he made as an adult was after he stabilized, the first thing he asked was money.
Besides, his birthday has passed long ago.
Before the original body fell into the water and he crossed over...
It's over.
In fact, Mu Bai has no relationship with the original body's father at all, and it was only a few minutes ago when he remembered him.
But the moment the man explained, Mu Bai's eyes suddenly burned up, and the aggrieved heart was overwhelmed, and there was an unignorable sourness from the tip of his nose. He tried his best to bear it, but the tears were almost uncontrollable. overflowed.
Almost reflexively, he instantly turned off the live broadcast room.
The lights are very dark at night.
The teenager curled up on the gaming chair by himself, sobbing softly, his fingertips were cold from crying, but he kept poking the screen with his fingers.
Mu Bai opened another bank card of the original body, and all the money transferred by the man remained on this card.
There are only three transfer records, and only 1500 has been transferred.
In the eyes of others, the original body is cowardly and has no opinion, but he is worthless.
Mu Bai selected the strange number, transferred all 1500 to the man's account, and added another 20.
This is all the salary left on him, plus the bonus for two regular season games.
The man didn't take much care of him since he was a child, and Yuanshen started doing part-time delivery to make money since he was a child. The 20 yuan was enough to make up for all the expenses the man spent on him.
Mu Bai was sobbing, tears were dripping from his lower eyelashes, he pursed his lips, and swiftly removed the number from the address book.
A few minutes later, another number also called, and the location was also Haicheng. Mu Bai didn't even look at it, and packed it up and threw it into the blacklist.
He couldn't remember the family that he had been curious about for so long, but it was just like this.
To put it bluntly, if it is an important person or thing, how could it be so easily forgotten.
As if wishing not to remember it for the rest of my life.
Mu Bai rubbed his red eyes with his palm, clicked on Jize's profile picture, and sent a message.
[Wood Baibai]: Where are you?
【Jze】: Eat out and return to the base in a while.
As if aware of something wrong, Jize added another sentence.
[Jze]: What's wrong?
Tears fell on his fingertips drop by drop, Mu Bai couldn't wipe it clean, so he simply ignored it, just sucked his nose and typed:
[Wood Baibai]: Do you have time?
【Wood Baibai】: Come solo.
The author has something to say: the strawberry leaves are yellow, and I have to go to the hospital tomorrow, maybe there is no update (just maybe [highlight]
