For He Di's birthday, his sister and brother-in-law came with Zhong Yin.

The relationship between these relatives and the team members is still good, and they can all get together now.

While He Di hugged Zhong Yin to his side, he looked down at the bag that Zhou You put behind him when he sat on the other side of him.

This bag was not there when it left the base, so Zhou You went to buy it now?

Gift?

He Di was a little at a loss.

Zhou You didn't intend to give out gifts immediately, he had a lively meal with his teammates, and he also wanted to catch the second game, his sister and brother-in-law had to go to work the next day, and Zhong Yin also had to go to work the next day. To go to school, you have to send it back in advance.

He Di sent them to the door of the hotel, and the cold wind blew, his brain, which was slightly drunk with wine, seemed to wake up a lot.

"Happy birthday," the brother-in-law took out a small gift box from his pocket, "this is a present."

"And mine, and mine," Zhong Yin couldn't wait, and took out a folder-like pocket from his small schoolbag, "This is for you, little uncle, happy birthday."

"Thank you." He Di knelt down and patted his head.

"There is also a painting inside, it's for Dagou...it's for Brother Zhou You," Zhong Yin said while holding his finger, "I'll hand it over to him."

"Okay." He Di smiled.

After sending his sister, brother-in-law and family of three to the car, He Di stood outside the door for a while, blowing the slightly cool night breeze, and gradually calmed down.

At this moment, the teammates were still eating and drinking in the private room. He Di was a little overwhelmed. When he went back, he deliberately slowed down his pace and swayed back slowly. Before he could reach the door of the private room, he suddenly walked out from the next private room. I found someone... quite familiar.

Fu Chenghao came out, and was also stunned when he saw He Di here.

Neither of them expected to meet each other here.

This city is so big, and the probability of professional players going out is so small, how could they just happen to be in the same hotel today, or even in adjacent boxes?

It was an incredible coincidence.

After Fu Chenghao's expression went blank for a short while, the moment He Di was about to turn around and leave, he asked, "Are you eating here too?"

"Yeah," He Di turned his head and looked at him, without the embarrassment of being stopped when he was about to leave, he smiled very naturally, "You can't shit here, can you?"

Fu Chenghao paused, his smile became a little stiff.

"It's nothing, just," Fu Chenghao quickly recovered his smile, "I remember today is your birthday, right?"

"Yeah." He Di smiled and put his hands in his pockets.

This is an expressive gesture full of...I don't want to talk to you so much that I don't even know where to put my hands. He Di doesn't know what other people mean by this gesture, but he often does it anyway.

"Someone in our team is having a birthday today," Fu Chenghao said, "Happy birthday to you."

"Thank you." He Di said.

This time, he didn't even bother to put on a smile on his face. Fu Chenghao looked at him, hesitated for a while, and said, "I have something to say to you, is it convenient?"

Before He Di could reply, he paused again, and continued: "I wanted to tell you before, I wanted to tell you in person, but... you know, we really don't have much time to be alone, either during competitions Meeting at the stadium, or there is no time to meet at all, this time just...is a good opportunity, I want to talk to you..."

"What happened before?" He Di touched his pocket, subconsciously touching the cigarette case with his fingers.

"Is this the only thing between us?" Fu Chenghao returned the question calmly.

He Di smiled, but didn't answer.

At this time, whoever speaks up is an idiot.

"Look for a quiet place to chat for a while?" Fu Chenghao also put his hands in his pockets. He knew He Di very well. Usually He Di smiled like this at such a time, either to express approval or helplessness, and what's more, to express What is more is a kind of ironic meaning of "are you an idiot".

It was evident at this moment that he was expressing the last emotion.

If he didn't speak again, He Di might just open the door of the next box room and leave directly.

"Okay." He Di nodded.

When they chatted about things, the time had to be pulled back to the end of the summer split of the previous year. TNG, who was in a slightly sluggish state, still retained a glimmer of hope to enter the World Championship.

This is a very cruel selection.

In the S-Series World Finals, there are three places in the competition area that can enter the World Championship. They are the No. [-] seed, who is the champion of the Summer Split; the No. [-] seed, the team with the highest points in the Spring Split and Summer Split, and then The third seed to be played from the World Qualifying Tournament—all teams with enough points will be pulled over to play another qualifier, and the winning team will get the last place to go to the World Finals.

There are more than a dozen teams in the entire competition area, and only three teams are selected each year, and the career life of professional players is pitifully short, so every chance may be the only chance in this life.

At that time, He Di attached great importance to the qualifiers.

They failed to win the summer championship, and they didn't have enough points to become the second seeded team. They could only break through the qualifiers step by step.

Not only He Di valued it, everyone valued that game very much. During those few days of training day and night, they forcibly pulled the flag of TNG and moved forward. The good thing is that the five members of their team are in good condition. After going through five stages and beheading six generals, he finally came to the final battle.

The last game, BO5, including the rest time and BP time, played for a whole afternoon until eleven o'clock in the evening. After leaving the venue, He Di still couldn't raise his head and face his own failure.

Yes, they failed.

Whenever He Di recalled this game, he would think about what he didn't do well enough, what step he made a mistake--He Di didn't have the habit of blaming his teammates, but he rewatched that game and was able to watch it. Clear up the problem that many people are not doing well enough.

It would be good if this eye position is lowered earlier.

If this skill is saved at this time, will the ending be different?

I don't know, I don't know, such an assumption doesn't make any sense.

So why bother watching this game?

He Di followed Fu Chenghao to the outside of the hotel, and the cold wind blew again and again, and he became more and more awake.

Oh.

He Di suddenly remembered that he watched that game over and over again, because after the game, Chen Ge told him that someone in the team played a match-fixing game.

At that time, we lost the game, and everyone was very depressed, especially because there was a substitute in the team, who was an auxiliary position like Zheng Rui. He was about to retire after the game this year. Originally, he wanted to put all his treasures here. One game, rushing into the world championship, and seeing how far he can go.

But the dream was destroyed after all.

Because someone in the team played fake games.

And the person who played the counterfeit match...

He Di squeezed his throat, feeling a little uncomfortable suddenly.

"You should smoke less," Fu Chenghao said with a smile, "I remember that when I first saw you, your voice was quite clear, but after all these years, it has become hoarse and deep, like a middle-aged man."

"I was 16 when you saw me, how clear can I be?" He Di also smiled, but not so gently, "The clear one is an eunuch."

Fu Chenghao twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.

This day's chat may not be able to go on, He Di touched the cigarette case in his pocket again, and when he was about to find an excuse to escape, Fu Chenghao suddenly said: "Did Chen Ge tell you back then that I took the money?" , played a fake match?"

"No." He Di said.

It really doesn't.

Chen Ge didn't say that he received money to play a fake match, but... bought a lottery, bought it and lost.

This approach is even more excessive than collecting money.

But without any evidence, He Di was skeptical of Chen Ge's words, but he also inevitably became less trusting of Cheng Hao.

"I really don't have one." Fu Chenghao touched his pocket, most likely wanting to touch cigarettes, but he didn't find them, and He Di didn't have the idea of ​​asking him for low cigarettes, "I really... really didn't play fake matches, He Di, you have to trust me."

"Oh." He Di smiled.

"The outside world, the media, fans, so many people said that I played fake matches, and even the leaders came to check my various bank cards and transfer records." Fu Chenghao took a deep breath, "But they didn't find anything. There is no evidence that I played match-fixing."

"Yes." He Di still smiled.

"Do you believe me?" Fu Chenghao clenched his wrist, and looked at He Di anxiously, "I wasn't the one who played fake matches at that time."

"Is it Chen Ge?" He Di smiled and stepped on his feet, "Generally speaking, according to this kind of plot, the next step is that the two of you fight in front of me, and you two die together in the end. Do you think I should Who do you trust?"

Fu Chenghao opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, He Di interrupted him: "I won't believe anything without evidence. Whether it's you or Chen Ge, I don't believe it, don't waste time Come and talk to me about this."

"And...it happened two years ago," He Di said, his voice suddenly lowered, "Tong Li didn't get entangled anymore, and I don't want to get entangled anymore. In fact, there is no evidence for these things, and nothing can be found. It's very boring... people always want to move forward."

"Are you really moving forward?" Fu Chenghao asked loudly, "You really don't want to investigate everything?"

"Speak louder," He Di smiled, "How about I use a loudspeaker to shout for you?"

"I..." Fu Chenghao didn't finish his sentence, when he suddenly saw a person wandering over from behind, sneakily, as if he was eavesdropping, but he didn't seem to, just happened to follow someone to come here.

The man got closer and closer, and He Di also followed Fu Chenghao's gaze to look over there. To be honest, he was not surprised at all when he saw someone approaching, and he had even predicted his name in his heart.

"Zhou You," He Di saw him looking around, apparently not seeing himself, and couldn't help shouting, "here."

Although he himself didn't understand why he shouted, but after shouting, the figure with the back of the light came over, and he found that it was really after Zhou You, and he was inexplicably relieved.
