your name

Zuo Zhengyi couldn't even remember how long it had been since he last met Jin Zhixiu.

They made an appointment to "see you in Paris" before, which refers to seeing you on the field. He didn't expect that Jin Zhixiu would have the idea of ​​reminiscing with him privately during the World Championships.

But the old teammate spoke up, and it's okay to meet up.Zuo Zhengyi confessed to Ji Jue and went out alone - Ji Jue is used to being jealous, at first he disagreed, but there was no valid reason for his disagreement, he put his arms around him and kissed him, then pretended to let him go to the appointment up.

The meeting place was at the landscape restaurant on the upper floor of the hotel. When Zuo Zhengyi came up by the elevator, Jin Zhixiu was already waiting for him.

At seven o'clock in the evening Paris time, Jin Zhixiu sat alone at the dining table, looking at the night view of the city outside the glass window.Hearing Zuo Zhengyi's footsteps, he turned his head and smiled at him.

Jin Zhixiu liked to laugh a lot, and Zuo Zhengyi felt that it was because his Chinese was not good. When he couldn't speak a certain sentence clearly, it would be right to laugh first to avoid expressing a wrong attitude.

"Long time no see." Jin Zhixiu prepared these four words in advance and said them fluently.

Zuo Zhengyi sat down opposite him, and smiled, "Well, long time no see. Why did you think of asking me to meet today?"

Zuo Zhengyi looked down at the menu, Jin Zhixiu looked at him and said, "I have a lot to say to you."

Zuo Zhengyi raised his head.

Jin Zhixiu said: "I don't know how to speak at the moment."

"Just say it straight." With Jin Zhixiu's Chinese expression ability, if they still talk in circles, they might have to talk until midnight.

Zuo Zhengyi is not a person who likes to gossiping, he is willing to come because he regards Jin Zhixiu as a friend.Since we are friends, there is nothing we can't say directly.

Even so, Jin Zhixiu was still too polite, and said a few words: "Congratulations, you have advanced. SP, very good."

Zuo Zhengyi was not polite at all: "It's very powerful, are you afraid of F6?"

"..."

Jin Zhixiu smiled and said, "A little bit."

He suddenly turned on his phone, dug out the photo album, found a photo taken with Zuo Zhengyi at WSND a long time ago, and handed it to Zuo Zhengyi.

"In the winter of S11, we met for the first time."

Jin Zhixiu said with a smile: "When I decided to join WSND, I hesitated because I had you."

What he meant was that Zuo Zhengyi was the absolute core in WSND at that time, and WSND was not a dual-core game. All tactics revolved around Zuo Zhengyi alone, and he could only be a green leaf at most.

"But at the time, I, had no choice."

"..."

When talking about the past, Jin Zhixiu still had a smile on his face.

Zuo Zhengyi didn't expect that what he wanted to say was this.

The second half of the S11 season is already a long time ago.

Back then, Jin Zhixiu's cross-border transfer from F6 to Lion caused quite a stir.

However, after only half a season, the Lion boss went bankrupt.

The future of Lion is uncertain, the new boss is unknown, the players are sold, Jin Zhixiu was dissatisfied with the EPL environment in that half season, and he did not play at the level that his high value should have. He was angrily criticized by EPL fans as "the biggest parallel importer". The position is embarrassing, and it is difficult to find a next home.

WSND took over for him at this point.

At that time, he was an icing on the cake for WSND.

Zuo Zhengyi has already carried to the sky. He is the prince held in the palm of the WSND management. The only thing Jin Zhixiu needs to do is to accompany the prince.

Zuo Zhengyi couldn't remember the scene when they first met, but he vaguely remembered that Jin Zhixiu was a gentle and docile person from the beginning, never made a bad face, had excellent skills, and rarely made mistakes.

Zuo Zhengyi never talked with him about e-sports dreams, career planning, etc., because Zuo Zhengyi was "no one in his eyes" at the time and didn't care about the inner world of his teammates at all.

Even he himself has never had such a thing as "planning" in his mind.

Of course, I never thought about whether he would be dissatisfied as a "team bully" teammate-who has the right to dissatisfy?

But Jin Zhixiu suddenly mentioned this matter, could it be that he was very dissatisfied back then?

Zuo Zhengyi's face showed curiosity, and Jin Zhixiu said: "It's not you who think like that. I just..."

Jin Zhixiu searched for suitable words in his poor Chinese thesaurus: "A little unwilling."

After saying these two words, his expression seemed to be telling a secret that had been buried deep in his heart for a long time. He was relieved and said calmly: "You are too good, End, I am happy to be your deputy. But I don't want to. When, someone else's deputy."

"..."

Zuo Zhengyi was slightly taken aback.

Jin Zhixiu said: "Recently, I always recall that if there was no accident at WSND at that time. We will, have we always been teammates?"

"I don't think so." He said out of Zuo Zhengyi's expectation, "It was very hard for me to switch back to F6 last year. I will ask, the boss of F6. I hope he will give me another chance."

"..."

It turned out that he returned to Korea in this way, and he fought for it himself.

Zuo Zhengyi did not make any comments on this, and waited patiently for Jin Zhixiu to finish speaking.

"I'm very contradictory. I want to be with you, to be a teammate, and I want to beat you."

Since Jin Zhixiu was not fluent in Chinese, the order of Jin Zhixiu's speech was also a bit chaotic, and he said whatever came to mind: "At WSND, I was very happy. At that time, I didn't have confidence. But you, standing in front of me, you are one, everything People who are not afraid...affect me a lot."

"The more I know you, the more I understand how powerful you are."

"..."

Zuo Zhengyi had never seen Jin Zhixiu excited before, but when he said this sentence, Jin Zhixiu's mood seemed to become unstable, his hands on the table were clenched into fists, trembling slightly, and his accent was even more substandard , but the speech rate has become faster.

He said: "I understand your skills better than Zhou Jiankang. You are the number one in the world in my mind. So I, I am even more unwilling. If I were a teammate, I would always have to live under your light. I I want to go out and walk across from you - I am also very strong, End, I want to defeat you with my own hands."

"You came to me just to say these things?" Zuo Zhengyi was silent for a moment and said, "Declaration before the war?"

"maybe."

Jin Zhixiu finally stopped laughing, his expression was rare and serious: "My Chinese is not good, I can't speak clearly. I—"

He paused for a long time, tried his best to organize the language, but couldn't find the precise words.

But the look in his eyes said it all.

He was not reconciled.

I don't want to stay by Zuo Zhengyi's side all the time, being an inconspicuous green leaf.When the dust of e-sports history settled, he was just a teammate who was brought along by End's side.

Even if he doesn't seek fame, he doesn't want to limit himself to the team's sub-core position, otherwise he will never know where the limit of his career is. He is no worse than anyone else, he just needs opportunities.

An opportunity to prove it to the world, Zuo Zhengyi, and himself.

There is only one champion in esports.

What is the value of a champion?

Different people may have different opinions. In Jin Zhixiu's view, being teammates with Zuo Zhengyi, the championship trophy he won with him is not as valuable as the one that defeated him.

But after all the words, I still don't want to look back.

While admiring Zuo Zhengyi's astounding talent, Jin Zhixiu thought, who is born without a genius?It's a pity that fate is ill-fated, and luck is different.

Now fate pushed them to Paris and gave him a chance to confront Zuo Zhengyi head-on.

"I will definitely win." Jin Zhixiu stared at Zuo Zhengyi closely.

Zuo Zhengyi received the emotions he failed to express, nodded and said: "I understand."

But Zuo Zhengyi didn't comfort him, didn't talk to him, and said in an almost calm tone: "You all want to prove yourself by defeating me, but I haven't put any of you seriously. I I have already completed the process of proving myself, and now I am coming to Paris just to get the honor that should belong to me long ago."

Zuo Zhengyi turned his head and glanced at the direction of the arena outside the glass window: "If every e-sports player has someone who is unwilling and dissatisfied, then I am willing to be your common enemy."

"It's my honor, too."

He stood up and bid farewell to Jin Zhixiu. His expression was not as arrogant as before, but he also had a kind of stubborn arrogance. He said condescendingly: "I wish you success in the knockout round and win until I am in front of you. See you in the final."
