For Love of the Game

Zhang Jiayan led the team members to stay on the stage for 10 minutes. The atmosphere of the scene was even more enthusiastic than during the competition. The audience was reluctant to leave for a long time, and finally left under the evacuation of the staff.

Amidst all the laughter, the Rider team members left the field lonely, and they walked back in silence, no one spoke.

Diamond laughed at himself, "It's great. The two teams in the finals are both Chinese teams. Everyone in the Chinese e-sports circle must be celebrating Maple Moon's victory over us and won China's first championship trophy." , I am a little envious. Hey, if you lose, you lose, and it reminds me of what it feels like to lose."

"Shut up." Club couldn't take it anymore.

"Why should I shut up?" Diamond's mentality has long since collapsed, "Isn't it okay for me to mock the game I lost?"

Li Shengyuan sneered when he heard the words, "Did you lose? Before Mr. Ace has even spoken, you are rushing to take the blame?"

Jin Chengjun was expressionless, his eyelids drooped slightly, as if he hadn't heard his words.

Club frowned, "Li Shengyuan, before you speak of others, think about how many times you have lost!"

On the contrary, Li Shengyuan got excited, "Me? What did I lose? Did I lose the 6V6 hostage rescue? Was the offensive and defensive battle lost because of me? Who lost to Eleven in 1V1 and made me enter the competition early? The second challenger lost to the enemy Do you also blame Shou Lei for failing to win the game?"

Club got stuck in his throat, wishing he could just yell.

"Shut up." Zheng Zhiyi said coldly, "Instead of complaining about your teammates here, why not think about how to face the reporter for a while."

Several people fell silent for a while, and lowered their heads thinking of the reporter's interview for a while.

"Xiaojun." Zheng Zhiyi called again, winking at him.

Jin Chengjun followed his gaze and saw Cui Baozhen waiting in front.

"There will be an interview later, don't delay too long."

"No, let's go to the interview room."

Zheng Zhiyi didn't say anything, and turned into the interview room first. Jin Chengjun lowered his head and walked in behind the team.

He didn't know what face he had to face Cui Baozhen after he just lost the game. What he lost was not only a game, but also the world champion of South Korea.

Cui Baozhen was taken aback for a moment, she knew that Jin Chengjun must be feeling uncomfortable, but she didn't expect him to be willing to see him, so she hid in the back door of the interview room and peeked worriedly.

As a three-time winning team, Rider can be said to carry the hopes of all Korean netizens. They have passed all the way, did not lose to the runner-up team Xiaolang, but lost to a team that participated in the World Championship for the first time. It is conceivable. As you know, this reporter interview was the most difficult torture for him.

Especially Jin Chengjun, who lost to Shen Huai in the 1V1 and 2V2 arenas, completely became the focus of tonight's interview. Some reporters even asked him directly whether Rider's loss in this match was his responsibility.

Cui Baozhen was anxious. Kim Seung-joon has always been the darling of the reporters. He is the pride of the Korean e-sports circle. The blame is on Jin Chengjun's head.

Kim Seung Joon was silent and said after a long time, "It's my problem that I lost to Wing twice, but it's not that I'm in bad shape."

As soon as these words came out, all the reporters in the audience were whispering.

He added, "I have always been in the best state on the field. My level has not declined, and I have shown my full strength. Wing is indeed very strong. I lost, it's that simple."

This time, the reporters in the audience were completely blown away, asking eagerly one by one.

"Spade, you mean to admit that Wing is stronger than you?"

"Spade, you have always been known as the strongest e-sports player in Korea. Do you know what your recognition of Wing means?"

"Do you think you are still qualified to be the ace of Team Rider?"

Questions implying accusations were thrown one after another, and Jin Chengjun looked at them indifferently, without answering.

He lost the game, he lost to Wing, that was a fact that couldn't be argued by anyone. He didn't intend to argue, nor did he want to veto it. He would make a decision at next year's World Championship.

He was used to not explaining, but Cui Baozhen couldn't stand it anymore. She pushed aside the crowd, strode onto the stage under Jin Chengjun's astonished gaze, grabbed the microphone from his hand and spoke loudly.

"Is it so difficult for you to lose a game? Yes, I know, this is the semi-finals. The Korean team can't win the championship this year, or even the runner-up. Is it Spade's fault? He played for Rider , How many games have you won for South Korea? How many myths have you created? Have you ever asked those players who were defeated by him whether their level has declined, and whether they are still qualified to be the ace of the team?"

She rushed up suddenly, and her impassioned words stunned the reporters in the audience.

"Wing is very strong. All players who have played against him know it. Those of you who have watched the game with your own eyes should also know that he is a master enough to keep pace with Spade. Spade lost to him twice and defeated him twice, but In Korea today, or even in the whole world, who else can beat Wing in a 1V1 situation? I don’t think there is any shame in losing to a strong player. Players can bravely admit that Wing is strong, why don’t you have the courage to admit it? Spade Always be Rider's trump card, and always be the pride of Korean e-sports!"

After she finished speaking, she handed the microphone to Zheng Zhiyi, pulled Kim Seung-jun up and left, leaving behind a room full of reporters frantically taking pictures of their backs, as well as the Rider team members who were looking at each other.

Cui Baozhen pulled Jin Chengjun all the way outside before stopping, rubbing his eyebrows and regretting.

"I'm really crazy. I rushed to help you speak up before my matter was resolved. You will always be Rider's trump card. I am the defeated general. I really have enough brazen words."

Jin Chengjun smiled, this is the first smile from his heart since he lost the game, "Baozhen!" He gave a thumbs up, "You look so handsome when you stood up for me just now!"

Cui Baozhen gave him a disgusted look, "Shut up, do you think I can't tell that you're imitating me?"

"I'm serious!" Jin Chengjun took her hand, "I really didn't expect you to stand up and speak for me."

When Cui Baozhen mentioned this, she became angry, "Are you still saying, are you a piece of wood? They say you, but you won't say it back? Do you think that if you don't say a word, everyone will think you are innocent? They will only write more unscrupulously! "

"Forget it, forget it," she waved her hand irritably, "I haven't figured out how to announce that I'm leaving the team to develop in China, but I still came out to help you talk, I'm such an idiot. "

"Bao Zhen," Jin Chengjun pulled her back and said earnestly, "I really appreciate you. When I lost to Wing, I was really reflecting on whether my own condition had declined, whether I hadn't worked hard recently, but I was very sad. I quickly realized that this is not the case. I am already stronger than my previous self, but Wing is still stronger than me. But I can’t say that because I am the strongest in Korea. If I admit that Wing is stronger than me, it proves that Chinese TV Jing is better than South Korea, but you spoke my mind, and you chose to stand by my side."

Cui Baozhen was moved by his earnest appearance. Jin Chengjun is a very simple and sincere man. After seeing too many men in the circle who like to boast, and then watching Jin Chengjun, he realized how rare such a humble quality is.

He said word by word, "I'm not afraid of losing, because I will work hard to win back the games I lost, as long as Baozhen doesn't think Kim Seung-joon is a useless man, that's enough."

Cui Baozhen blushed and quickly avoided it.

She has always felt that Jin Chengjun's speech is very crooked, but he seems a little unscrupulous.

She raised her hand to pat Jin Chengjun's head, like patting a puppy, "Okay, you're not a useless man, you played well tonight, and it wasn't your fault that you lost to Wing."

"So, can you let me be your boyfriend?"

Cui Baozhen's hand stopped, and she was caught off guard by the sudden confession.

"Kim Seung-joon."

Jin Chengjun interrupted her, "Baozhen, you know that I have always liked you very, very much. Originally, I wanted to win the championship and confessed to you in public on the podium..."

"You dare?!" Cui Baozhen stared immediately, "Don't expect me to be moved by you! If you dare to do such a thing in public, I will commit suicide on the spot!"

Jin Chengjun quickly coaxed, "I was wrong, our Baozhen doesn't like to show off, but you stood up in front of so many reporters for me. When I saw my favorite Baozhen speak for me, I thought I must To be your boyfriend, I can't give such a lovely treasure to others, I want to take care of you myself, can I?"

Cui Baozhen pursed her lips and remained silent.

Jin Chengjun thought for a while and said, "You just dragged me away from the interview room. When the reporters go back, they will definitely say that we are in love. It is because of you that I fell down and lost to Wing..."

"You still have the nerve to say it!" Cui Baozhen didn't think of this before, and now he said it the more he thought about it, "If you didn't blow me a kiss on the field, how could everyone misunderstand that? Let me help you talk Is there anything wrong?"

"My fault, my fault," Jin Chengjun grabbed her hand, "but thinking that everyone will criticize you because of my fault, I feel very sad, so you can give me a legitimate right to stand up and protect you ?"

Cui Baozhen: "..."

She felt that Jin Chengjun looked like a big golden retriever who was easy to bully when he was not talking, but he really followed suit when he spoke.

How could she refuse this? !

"Before I retire, I won't disclose it to you! Don't even think about it!"

Jin Chengjun's eyes lit up, and he immediately took a step forward and hugged her tightly, "I promise you! Thank you, Baozhen, you gave me a gift more precious than the champion!"

Cui Baozhen: "..." She may have to get used to talking about love for a while.

but……

She reached out and hugged Jin Chengjun back.

That's not bad.

The author has something to say:

For the sake of the integrity of the story, this chapter is considered to be a satisfactory explanation for these two people. Career and love cannot have both, Xiaojun.

In addition, the memory killing in the last chapter is also something that has never been explained before. It seems that everyone has made up the scene of my first conversation between Snow God and Yu God in my mind before hahaha.
