The most popular anchor training manual [E-sports]

The next day

Yu Zhen woke up early on purpose, ordered a [-]-inch cake from a certain online celebrity cake shop, and by the way, wrapped a large bouquet of lilies mainly in the flower shop next to the cake shop.

Although she didn't know who this Xiaoxue was, Yu Zhen thought that her preparations were quite appropriate.

However, when he knocked on the door of Zhong Chuhang's house, his well-prepared self-confidence was instantly shattered.

Yu Zhen suddenly wanted to turn around and go home, change her look and go out again.

Zhong Chuhang was on the phone when he opened the door, and raised his chin to Yu Zhen, motioning for him to come in.

Yu Zhen put the cake on the porch table, closed the door, looked around, and felt that it was not appropriate to put the bouquet on the ground, so she held it with both hands and sat on the side stool.

Zhong Chuhang bent down to get slippers for Yu Zhen.

Yu Zhen quickly grabbed his wrist, waved his hand, and asked him to continue calling.

"Well," Zhong Chuhang replied absently, while gently pinching Yu Zhen's face.

Yu Zhen immediately blushed. Fortunately, Zhong Chuhang turned his back in time and didn't see it.

Zhong Chuhang turned around, and Yu Zhen stared at his back immediately.

Zhong Chuhang seemed to be attending the award ceremony today. He combed all his hair to the back of his forehead and carefully applied hairspray. He was wearing a pure black suit. The style of the suit was a bit retro. Gray shirt, buttoned up to the top.There is no tie or bow tie, only a light gray chest scarf on the chest.

Although Zhong Chuhang in Yu Zhen's memory is a big star, he usually wears simple and casual attire, and doesn't even wear trendy brands.It was the first time I saw him dressed so formally, but there was a sense of abstinence.

"Brother Hang, are you sure it's really okay for me to dress so casually?" Yu Zhen, who was sitting in the co-pilot, always felt that something was wrong.

"it does not matter."

Yu Zhen obediently stopped talking.

The skyscrapers outside the car window gradually faded, and the roads on both sides became more and more desolate, as if they were driving in the direction of the mountain.About half an hour later, the car stopped at the foot of a secluded mountain.

"Are you there?" Yu Zhen unbuckled her seat belt and looked out the window. This place... doesn't look like a place with a house.

Zhong Chuhang got out of the car first, and took the cake and flowers bought by Yu Zhen from the trunk, "It's here, let's go."

Looking at the barren hill with dense vegetation, Yu Zhen wondered if there was a hole in the hill, and followed Zhong Chuhang up a stone road built by hand.

The mountain is very quiet. Walking on the mountain road, Yu Zhen discovered that this mountain should be carefully cared for. The bluestone slabs are paved tightly, and the roadsides are full of camphor trees as tall as two people. In summer, except for a few There are birds chirping and no mosquitoes.

Climbing halfway up the mountain, Yu Zhen, who lacked exercise, was already out of breath. He stopped his lead-filled legs, put his hands on his knees, and shouted, "How much more is there?"

Zhong Chuhang in front was still carrying something in his hands, and he was still walking steadily. He freed his hand and unbuttoned a button of his shirt: "It's okay, let's walk slowly..." Looking at Yu Zhen who was drooping his head, he moved slowly. With footsteps, Zhong Chuhang said slowly: "Do you know what the first sentence I heard you say when I entered your live broadcast room for the first time?"

Yu Zhen shook her head.

"You say, 'I've loved Clock for ten years, and I'm a huge fan.'"

Yu Zhen wasn't sure that such nasty words would come from him, but he did mention Clock a lot when the live broadcast first started.After all, he was his childhood idol and a pioneer in China's e-sports industry. Yu Zhen used to study his game videos and learn his pressure/gun skills.

"That was the first time I watched a live broadcast. You broadcast it for eight hours that day, and I watched it for eight hours..." Yu Zhen finally caught up with Zhong Chuhang.The stone road was a bit narrow, and the two walked one after the other, "Then I registered the ID of Fortune Tree Blossom."

"Haha, just because I said I'm a CLOCK fan?"

"No, it was indeed at the beginning... But after watching it, I couldn't get out."

Yu Zhen: "..." I wondered in my heart what kind of magic power I have, which actually made Zhong Chuhang addicted to watching.

"Later, I also watched many other anchors one after another, none of which attracted me as much as you... You have the shadow of CLOCK in you."

For Zhong Chuhang's high evaluation, Yu Zhen didn't know how to answer for a moment, and said in a muffled voice, "I can't match Brother Han."

After a short silence, Zhong Chuhang suddenly said: "Actually, I am also a fan of CLOCK."

Yu Zhen began to feel a little strange that Zhong Chuhang talked about Zhong Han a lot today, and his tone was unusual.

"Do you still remember the CPL-CS championship in 2000?"

"Remember! Brother Han, VIP..." Of course Yu Zhen remembered this famous battle, and he memorized the replay video back and forth. This is like a textbook in the history of FPS in China.It also made the ID of Clock famous internationally.

"What about the scene in 2002?"

Yu Zhen didn't know Zhong Chuhang's intentions, so she thought about it carefully: "I don't have much impression of 2002, it seems that Brother Han retired to be a commentator not long after that."

"WOR in 2002 was his last game."

"Really?" At that time, Yu Zhen was still in elementary school, so I didn't have a deep impression. I only vaguely remembered that there was an accident at that time, and Brother Han retired shortly after that. Ask about Brother Han's injury... Could it be that time?"

Zhong Chuhang's voice was low: "That's right, halfway through the competition schedule, one night, the computer room where the team arranged for them to practice unexpectedly caught fire."

"I remembered, this incident had to be published in the newspaper at the time, does it seem that another staff member was killed?"

Zhong Chuhang in front paused, and Yu Zhen who followed closely almost bumped into his back.

"What's the matter, did I remember wrongly?" Yu Zhen beat a drum in his heart, seeing Zhong Chuhang's reaction, he seemed to have said something wrong.

"No..." Zhong Chuhang took a step forward, wondering if Yu Zhen had misread it, the tall and straight figure in front trembled slightly.

After a while, Yu Zhen heard a snort from ahead: "Heh... staff, what a staff."

"..." Yu Zhen: "...not a staff member?"

"That's right, he's a staff member... the team's ace player, and King of Terrorists is just an ordinary staff member." Zhong Chuhang's voice was indifferent and calm, but the sarcasm in it couldn't be more clear.

But Yu Zhen was puzzled, King of Terrorists, isn't this referring to Zhong Han?

What's the matter with Brother Han?

Just wondering, Zhong Han's voice came from afar—"Are you here?"

Yu Zhen walked up the last step after Zhong Chuhang, and his vision suddenly became brighter.

During the conversation, we have already reached the top of the mountain, and there is a sea of ​​flowers on the top of the mountain, covered with two-color hydrangeas all over the mountain, white and light blue dotted against each other.

In addition to the flowers everywhere, there is only one big tree with thick roots and lush branches.

Zhong Han stood under that tree.

There are no big villas or small cottages as expected.

The mountain breeze carries a light floral fragrance, and there is also a very cool and special fragrance.

Yu Zhen twitched her nose, as if she smelled grapefruit in the air.

The only tree planted on the top of the mountain is actually a grapefruit tree.

Yu Zhen followed Zhong Chuhang to the tree where Zhong Han stood, and saw several large grapefruits hanging from the branches of the tree from a distance.

"Brother Han."

"Uncle Han."

Zhong Han let out a "huh" and looked at the two of them meaningfully, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to call me that again?"

Yu Zhen: "?"

Seeing Yu Zhen's ignorant look, Zhong Chuhang smiled and said, "Uncle Han means that you should call after me."

After Yu Zhen reacted slowly, he glanced at Zhong Chuhang with some embarrassment. Under the latter's smile, he became more and more embarrassed.

At this moment, Yu Zhen's heart is full of crap...

How could Zhong Han know about the two of us?Did Zhong Chuhang tell him?But we seem to have nothing now.

At most there is a little bit of ambiguity?

Why is the atmosphere now like meeting parents...

Zhong Han didn't know Yu Zhen's soul question from the bottom of his heart, and seemed to be quite emotional: "Ah Hang brought you to see him, so you are special to him."

Following his gaze, Yu Zhen looked over...

Right behind Zhong Han, under the grapefruit tree, in the blind spot that Yu Zhen didn't see just now,

An inconspicuous marble tombstone stood there quietly.

There are no gold-leaf incense candles in front of the stele, but there is a large bouquet of hydrangeas and an opened bottle of 2010 Bordeaux, which is clean.

If it weren't for the inscription on the monument, Yu Zhen might not have noticed that it was a tombstone at all.

There are not many words on the monument——

"Zhong Xue"

"1986-2002"

"Second Brother Zhong Hanli"

Yu Zhen was stunned in front of the stele,

It wasn't because they were surprised that the "Xiaoxue" they were talking about was a dead person, nor was it because they didn't expect that Zhong Han had a younger brother, and Zhong Chuhang had an uncle——

He noticed that at the top of the tombstone, there were five unpainted English letters.

CLOCK.

Zhong Chuhang walked to Yu Zhen's side, put down the bouquet he bought, put one hand on the tombstone, and gently stroked the inscription on the tombstone with his palm: "Xiaoxue, let's get to know each other formally. This is the person I like, Yu Zhen."

When his name was called, Yu Zhen came back to his senses, looked at Zhong Chuhang,

"Yu Zhen, this is my uncle, Zhong Xue."

Seeing Yu Zhen's dazed look, Zhong Han smiled and said, "Did you think it was a girl when you heard this name? In fact, this name was originally prepared for my younger sister. My mother was already in her forties when she was pregnant with him. I gave birth to a daughter, but it turned out to be a boy, so I got angry and used this pre-thought-out girl's name. Xiaoxue wanted to change her name since she was a child, but in the end..."

At the end of Zhong Han's speech, he sighed, "In the end, it has not been changed."

Yu Zhen didn't seem to hear Zhong Han's words, and muttered.

Zhong Han didn't hear clearly, "What?"

"...He, he is Clock." Yu Zhen couldn't believe it, her voice trembled a little.

Zhong Han was silent.

Yu Zhen turned to look at Zhong Chuhang, who nodded.

"Even if no one else knows that he is lying in this place, I think at least you should know him and know his life."

"Well, what's going on here? Brother Han, no..." Yu Zhen immediately changed his words, "What about Uncle Han?"

"Xiaoxue is an e-sports genius, and I'm just a manager."

Zhong Han took off his mask,

The skin under the mask was extremely white, and the flaky gray-white scars were particularly conspicuous, spreading from both sides of the cheeks to the chin.

He twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled helplessly, his smile stiffened by the glaring scar.

"Just like this pair of masks, I have been carrying the false name for a long time, and I am not used to taking it off." Zhong Han said in a tone, "I wonder if Xiaoxue will blame me for stealing his honor when we go down to meet each other in the future."

"He won't," Zhong Chuhang said in a low voice, "The fire back then was so fierce. If you tried your best to save him, no matter what the result is, with his temperament, he won't blame you."

Yu Zhen couldn't understand what the two were saying at all, and looked confused. "Then why does Uncle Han use his identity?"

Zhong Chuhang shook his head: "It's not that Uncle Han used Xiaoxue's identity, it was Xiaoxue who used Uncle Han's."

Yu Zhen couldn't understand more and more.

"At that time, TB was the top team in the country. Xiaoxue was eager to join the team, so she used Uncle Han's ID card, and that's how CLOCK came into being. So legally, CLOCK's identity does belong to Uncle Han."

"Then...then why not make it public?"

Zhong Han sighed: "At that time, minors were not allowed to join professional e-sports teams, let alone participate in international competitions. It was illegal. Such a big negative news TB must be suppressed. But at that time, they were all young boys. Afterwards, TB threatened me with huge liquidated damages, and finally this matter was hidden..."

Yu Zhen couldn't accept such a big reversal for a while, and was stunned at the moment.
