your name

In recent years, the influence of family of origin on people has become a hot topic.

But when this topic was placed on Zuo Zhengyi and Ji Jue, there was actually nothing to talk about.

If Zuo Zhengyi were to speak for himself, now he feels that it is a good thing not to have parents. Although it is hard work, it is also free.Anyway, these 20 years have already survived, so we have to look at the good.

But Zuo Zhengyi also thought it was a good thing that Ji Jue could reconcile with his parents.

Although he couldn't figure it out, how could Ji Jue suddenly change his mind with such a stubborn personality who only hates his biological parents but never loves them?

Because blood is thicker than water?

Family affection is really mysterious.

Zuo Zhengyi couldn't help thinking of grandma again.

Once, the old man held him with wrinkled hands, warm and dry palms, like the hot summer sun, caressing the back of his hands and the top of his head.She said, "Wait until I figure out a way to take you back."

Zuo Zhengyi admitted that that was the time when he longed for "family" the most. He was shaken and wanted to leave Tanzhou Island and go with her.

It's a pity that she didn't come later.

The phone number she left didn't work either.

Zuo Zhengyi never saw her again.

Zuo Zhengyi felt a little depressed because of the melancholy caused by his family. When he returned to the base at night, he didn't play around with Zhang Zili and others as usual, and went back to his room to rest after he finished his work.

During the period, Yan Qingyun came to him once, beating around the bush to ask him whether he was satisfied with his performance in tonight's game.

Zuo Zhengyi boasted a few words, sent him away, and slept with Ji Jue at night.

Ji Jue used to coax him, pouring sweet words into his ears as if he didn't want money.While chatting, Zuo Zhengyi started to feel sleepy, nestled in Ji Jue's arms, curled himself up into a shrimp, and let Ji Jue hug him.

"I like it so much when you hug me..."

Zuo Zhengyi was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he spoke in a soft voice, and then he burrowed deeply into Ji Jue's arms.

Ji Jue didn't respond, his lips fell on the top of his head, kissing his hair.

Zuo Zhengyi said nonsense: "You are like my grandma."

"..."

As soon as the movement of the head stopped, Ji Jue asked, "Do you miss grandma again?"

Zuo Zhengyi didn't answer, he fell asleep.

This was an extremely lively night in the e-sports circle. Countless people were excited by Zuo Zhengyi, but he himself fell asleep without knowing what the world was like. When he woke up the next morning, his head was still a little groggy.

But sleep has a healing effect, and his mood improved, and he began to chat with Zhang Zili and the others about today's dinner.

It is said that the dinner party is a treat for Fang Kai, the boss of Scorpion, and the restaurant has been booked, and they will take the car from the base later.

The team manager, Du Yucheng, was in charge of leading the team, and was telling them the precautions, his tone was like that of a head teacher taking elementary school students on a spring outing.But it's nothing to be careful about.Du Yucheng mainly told them not to talk nonsense at the dinner table, but to eat obediently.

Zhang Zili asked: "What about ordering food? Can I order casually?"

Song Xianfeng asked: "I want to raise my salary, can this be raised?"

Yan Qingyun asked: "Don't drink a bar? I'm allergic to alcohol."

"Casual, you can't raise your salary, you don't drink, and there will be a training match in the afternoon." Du Yucheng replied seriously, turning his gaze to Ji Jue and Zuo Zhengyi.

He stared at Ji Jue for two seconds before hesitating to speak.

When looking at Zuo Zhengyi, he said: "Zhengyi, Mr. Fang wants to talk to you."

"Ah, good." Zuo Zhengyi didn't care too much. He could guess what Fang Kai was going to say. It was nothing more than what Zhou Jiankang had said to him, "You are the future of WSND" "You have to carry WSND to the future." go forward"...

Zuo Zhengyi still doesn't know how sincere Zhou Jiankang was and how much he took advantage of him when he said these words.

But at that time, he believed everything, without the slightest doubt, wishing to throw his head and blood for WSND to prove his loyalty.

Now he has a little understanding of the ways of the world, and he will no longer be so naive.But it's not a bad thing for the boss to be willing to coax him, which shows that he has enough value.This kind of value is the confidence that he can control the right to speak in Scorpion.

Sure enough, just as Zuo Zhengyi expected, they went to the hotel box first. Boss Fang came late, and when they met, he said that he had watched his match last night and praised him for his strength.Then, in just three sentences, they talked about his importance to Scorpion.

Also present at the same time as Boss Fang were Ji Jue's parents, Ji Guoyuan and Xie Lan.

These two were more like bosses than Fang Kai. As soon as they were seated, the atmosphere quietened down. The dozen or so players and managers present breathed out through their nostrils without raising their heads.

Zuo Zhengyi and Ji Jue sat side by side, received countless looks, and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

Ji Jue was silent.

When no one talks to him, he doesn't take the initiative to speak, and he is not eager to his parents.But he didn't speak, but the topic always revolved around him.

At first, Xie Lan asked Du Yucheng: "Manager Du, how is Xiaojue doing in the base?"

Du Yucheng felt quite pressured, and politely said "very good". Kua Jijue is talented and willing to work hard. He played well with Zuo Zhengyi in the middle and wild, and was able to carry the game.

Ms. Xie Lan naturally doesn't understand what "Naka-wild linkage" is and what "carry" is, and she doesn't care.As long as she knew that her son was excellent, she would be happy, and asked with a smile, "Can we win the championship? Where are we now?"

Fang Kai said: "The EPL is No.4 for the time being, and we can rush for points. The Champions League group stage has not yet finished, but we have a good momentum and can fight for it."

Xie Lan didn't understand the rules of the competition, so after listening to it, he asked, "Are the EPL and the Champions Cup two different competitions?"

"Yes, without interfering with each other."

"Then when will you be able to go abroad to compete in the world championship?" She looked at Ji Jue and smiled, "Xiao Jue, you have to be the world champion."

A word like a joke, many people laughed.But Ji Jue didn't laugh.

Usually in the base, almost no one would mention his parents in front of Ji Jue, because he didn't like it, and whenever someone mentioned it, he would get blackface.

But favors cannot be avoided at the wine table, and Fang Kai also sells his parents' face, so he must be brought into the center of the topic to praise him.It doesn't matter whether these compliments are true or not, as long as the superficial skills are sufficient.

Zuo Zhengyi listened with his ears up at first, but later he got tired of listening, so he also followed Zhang Zili's example, pretending to be deaf and dumb while eating with his head down, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible.

But he is different from Zhang Zili, he can't hide even if he wants to.

Xie Lan's eyes fell on him from time to time, with a look that was different from the last time we met.Zuo Zhengyi felt uncomfortable being stared at, and he became more and more suspicious that Ms. Xie had already guessed his relationship with Ji Jue.

If she guessed, what would she think?

Doesn't seem to object?

She also said yesterday that she would bring him a meeting gift, although Ji Jue later refused.

"..."

Zuo Zhengyi felt a little embarrassed—he wasn't ready to come out yet.

After eating for a while, the box was very stuffy.Zuo Zhengyi wanted to go out to get some air, so he poked Ji Jue quietly: "I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be back soon."

Ji Jue whispered: "I accompany you?"

"No, I'm not a child." Zuo Zhengyi got up and left the table, pushed the door and went out.

As soon as the door was closed, all eyes were blocked, Zuo Zhengyi heaved a sigh of relief, feeling himself alive again.

Boring socializing is annoying.

Being stared at by Ji Jue's parents was also very disturbing, he was even infected by them, and suddenly thought of the future.

——I will come out sooner or later.

Can't avoid it?

Zuo Zhengyi thought wildly, went to the toilet, washed his hands, and didn't return to the box immediately, and stayed alone in the corridor for a while.

He was thinking about his life after coming out of the closet, when someone behind him suddenly called him, "Zhengyi."

When Zuo Zhengyi turned around, it was Xie Lan.

"Why don't you go back?" Xie Lan said softly, "Why are you in a daze here?"

Her hair was pulled up, and she was wearing an expensive cheongsam, which was very elegant.But the delicate dress can hardly hide the fine lines around the eyes, and the figure is not as tight as when he was young, so wearing a cheongsam is a bit inappropriate.

Despite this, she is still very good-looking, and Ji Jue probably inherited her looks.

Xie Lan walked up to Zuo Zhengyi, and said cordially, "Are you worried? You don't seem to be looking very well."

"..."

Zuo Zhengyi had a natural liking for this kind of gentle female elder, but she was Ji Jue's mother, so his liking was mixed with some anxiety.He stood up straight unconsciously, put his hands behind his back, called his aunt politely, and replied, "It's okay, I'll take a breath, and I'll be back right away."

Xie Lan nodded and said, "No rush, I feel bored too, why don't you stay with me for a while."

"Okay." Zuo Zhengyi acted cutely and touched his nose.

Sheilan liked him, had liked him since they first met last year.There are two reasons. One is that he and Ji Jue grew up together, so she will inevitably love her house.The second is that even if there is no Ji Jue, he himself is the type to please the elders, he is good-looking and sensible.

But if he was Ji Jue's boyfriend, things would be different.

Sheilan seemed to be aware of it, but wasn't sure if that was the relationship between them.She took a few glances at him, and said tentatively, "Zhengyi, do you know that Xiaojue doesn't like girls?"

"...Huh?" Zuo Zhengyi clenched his hands behind his back and looked away.

Xie Lan understood his expression immediately: "You know."

Xie Lan stared at him, and asked again: "You two are in a relationship? Don't be nervous, Auntie is not such an unenlightened person."

"..."

Zuo Zhengyi was speechless.

Xie Lan sighed suddenly: "Xiaojue's mouth is harder than a rock, and he can't pry anything out. But I can feel some things even if he doesn't say them." She glanced at Zuo Zhengyi, "The last time he went home , I talked to his dad about his future... Well, it's about starting a family and starting a business. Boy, Xin Ye, is only 20 years old and doesn't know how to think about the future. I couldn't help but say a few words to him, and he was unhappy gone."

Zuo Zhengyi smiled dryly, not knowing how to answer.

Xie Lan said: "Playing e-sports is good, but it's not a lifelong business. Besides, there are so many things at home, and his dad and I are so busy every day, we hope that he can share some of the burden for us when he grows up. Otherwise What about these household businesses? Don’t you think so?”

"Yes." Zuo Zhengyi agreed without emotion.

"We're getting old," Xie Lan sighed again, "this person gets lonely easily when he gets old. The bigger the house, the emptier it is. I really regret it now. My father and I have been running around all our lives. What did we earn in the end? ?People say that happiness in old age is about having children and grandchildren around their knees to take care of them, and I'm afraid I won't have such a blessing.”

She spoke tactfully, as if there was something in her words.

Zuo Zhengyi was at a loss when he heard it, not sure if he understood it correctly, so he could only pick up the sweet one and say, "Auntie doesn't have many wrinkles on her face, she's still young."

"That's thanks to the medical aesthetics." Xie Lan said, "Zhengyi is a good boy, and he must understand Auntie's difficulties."

"..."

Zuo Zhengyi was even more at a loss. What did she mean?

He didn't like such conversations with secretiveness, so he couldn't help but ask, "Do you want me to break up with Ji Jue?"

Xie Lan didn't expect him to be so direct, so she choked up slightly, her expression a little unnatural: "Not really. He likes you, I know. I don't want to do the thing of beating mandarin ducks. It's not good to make him sad. Besides, Auntie also I like you, if you are a girl, I would like to ask Ji Jue to marry you in. Of course, boys are not bad, and it is more important for you to be happy together, but..."

What a "but", Zuo Zhengyi felt delicate, and only heard her say: "There are always some shortcomings when two boys are together. If you can't raise a crystallization of your own, the family tradition will be broken."

Zuo Zhengyi: "..."

Dare to worry that no one will inherit the throne.

Zuo Zhengyi's apprehension just now turned into boredom, and the gentle and beautiful elder in front of him also became pedantic and unreasonable, dispelling his desire to continue listening to her ramblings.

Seeing the change in his face, Xie Lan quickly explained: "Auntie is not unreasonable, I don't want you to break up. I am thinking about the future. You and Xiaojue are still young now, and you will grow old in the future. Who will take care of you when you get old? ? Right? You need a baby."

In a persuasive tone, she said in a gentle voice: "So I want to ask, can you accept it? Suppose Xiaojue is allowed to have a child."

Zuo Zhengyi was puzzled: "How did he give birth?"

"There is always a way to want to live."

"..."

any solution?With another woman?

Zuo Zhengyi's face turned cold, his patience was exhausted, his good upbringing allowed him to maintain his courtesy in front of Xie Lan, and he didn't get angry at her.

"I'm sorry, Auntie. I think Ji Jue should come and talk to me about this matter." He turned around and walked towards the box. When he looked up, he saw Ji Jue push the door open, as if he was about to come to him.

Seeing him standing with his mother, Ji Jue's expression changed: "Brother?"

Zuo Zhengyi ignored him, walked around the door of the box and walked in another direction.

He started walking very fast, Ji Jue quickly followed and grabbed his hand at a corner where no one was around.

"What's wrong?" Ji Jue cornered Zuo Zhengyi, frowning, "What did my mother tell you?"

"..."

Zuo Zhengyi thought of the phrase "There is always a way to live", and felt sick in his heart.He knew that Ji Jue should not be angered, but what was wrong with him?To be affected by Xie Lan's face, and by her oblique dislike of "can't give birth".

"Your mother wants to hold a grandson." Zuo Zhengyi said coldly, "Ji Jue, you can either solve your parents or me. I'm tired from playing games, and I'm not in the mood to argue about these meaningless things—"

He pushed Ji Jue away and turned to leave. He didn't know whether it was out of anger or what, and left a sentence: "If you can't solve it, break up, it's so annoying."
