Hand in Hand for Life (6)
That night, Ling Xuefeng and Li Cangyu talked a lot about the team's future plans. No one can take a team with them all the time, and it's their job as a captain to prepare for the future of the team before leaving.
Due to Yan Ruiwen's tip-off, Ling Xuefeng called the airport to change the flight back to China, and the two stayed in the Maldives for one more day before flying back to Shanghai.
As a result, as soon as he came out of the Shanghai airport, he was surrounded by a group of paparazzi reporters. It seems that the perseverance of these reporters is also extraordinary, yesterday they pounced, and today they are unwilling to come to the airport to wait for the rabbit.
Ling Xuefeng keenly saw the reporter, and immediately pulled Li Cangyu to turn around and walk in the direction of the parking lot.
The reporters scrambled behind to ask questions: "Team Ling, I heard that you went to the Maldives for a vacation with the cat god, is this true?" "Do you have any attention to the photos that have been spread crazy on Weibo?" "What is the relationship between the two?" "Didn't you guys get together a long time ago?"
Ling Xuefeng ignored the reporter with a calm face, and quickly pulled Li Cangyu to the parking lot.
Yan Ruiwen and Qin Mo said that they would come to the airport to pick up the captain, and they were also startled when they saw this situation, but fortunately, Yan Ruiwen reacted quickly enough, and immediately started the car and stopped in front of Ling Xuefeng, Qin Mo opened the car window and said, "Master, cat god, get in the car!" ā
Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng didn't say a word, they jumped into the car in tacit understanding, closed the door, and the car quickly drove out of the parking lot like an arrow from the string.
Yan Ruiwen's driving skills were not bad, and he soon sped away along the airport at high speed, leaving the reporters far behind.
After a while, Ling Xuefeng glanced in the rearview mirror and found that there was no tracking vehicle behind him, so he put his mind at ease and looked up and asked Yan Ruiwen: "What is the direction of public opinion?" Did the fans of the wind react greatly? ā
Yan Ruiwen glanced at Li Cangyu, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he seemed to be hesitating how to speak.
Ling Xuefeng said lightly: "The cat god is not an outsider, he has something to say. ā
"Hmm." Yan Ruiwen coughed and said, "Many fans still don't believe that the two of you will be together, most of them are in a wait-and-see state, and there are also some more radical fans who leave messages on the official website of the Fengse team......
Speaking of this, Yan Ruiwen stopped and looked at the face of the cat god from the rearview mirror - the man's face did not show the slightest embarrassed expression, but was very frank and calm, worthy of being the captain of the national team, accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, this bit of gossip is not as good as drizzle for him.
During the vacation, the two were more bold because they were abroad, and they did not shy away from the eyes of other tourists, especially in the afternoon when they were basking on the beach in the sun, kissing and hugging a lot, and the discerning people knew at a glance that their relationship was not ordinary, and the word "friend" must not be confused, and most people must have guessed their relationship.
Li Cangyu didn't worry about himself, he didn't kill people and set fires, and he didn't do anything wrong, he just fell in love with the person he liked and took a vacation. Besides, they are not stars in the entertainment industry, they don't rely on popularity to eat, and the impact of the exposure of their relationship on them is not great, the key is still on the team's side.
Ling Xuefeng's thoughts were the same, the two exchanged a look, Ling Xuefeng gently held Li Cangyu's hand and said, "It's okay, I'll face it with you." If the reporter is pressing, let's just admit it. ā
Li Cangyu nodded: "Yes." ā
Qin Mo, who was listening in the front row, had a very complicated mood, just after this holiday, the master and the cat god were together? Or are they secretly together for a long time?
If you think about it, the latter is more likely. Since the cat god came back, the master's whole person has changed, and he sent himself to Xiao Han as a sparring partner, not to mention, usually serious and tough men will listen to the cat god when they encounter anything - it turns out that the cat god is standing at the top of the food chain for this reason!
Qin Mo suddenly had a feeling of sudden realization.
Looking at the two people sitting side by side in the back row clasping their hands, only each other in their eyes, and not taking him and Deputy Yan's two big light bulbs as the same thing at all, Qin Mo felt a little awkward in his heart, but he felt ...... The two of them are really a good match.
***
Yan Ruiwen drove Ling Xuefeng back to his home in Shanghai, this was the first time Qin Mo had come to Master's house, but the cat god was familiar with this place, and he had obviously been here more than once.
Ling Xuefeng called the two of them in, Yan Ruiwen looked calm and seemed to have expected this, but Qin Mo was a little flattered, followed the master to the living room, and as soon as he sat down, he heard Ling Xuefeng say calmly: "I called you here, in fact, I want to tell you something-I plan to officially retire next season." ā
Qin Mo raised his head in surprise: "Master, are you going to retire?" ā
Yan Ruiwen asked calmly, "Have you already thought about it?" ā
"Hmm." Ling Xuefeng said, "I thought about it for a long time, and it wasn't impulsive. I'll be 26 years old after this Chinese New Year, and it's time to leave the league. The overall configuration of the Wind Tone team is very mature, even if I retire, the combination of the two summoners will also have Qin Mo and Xu Feifei to take over, you and Guo Xuan are still very young, the team's lineup does not need to change too much, I am very relieved to have you take care of the Wind Clan. ā
Yan Ruiwen nodded: "I will support the captain's decision." ā
After all, Qin Mo was still young, and he couldn't accept this fact for a while, and his eyes were a little red.
Ling Xuefeng looked at his apprentice and said in a low voice, "Qin Mo, you have been growing up under my protection all these years, but those who rely on the master will not have much success. When Xu Luo and Song Yang retired, there were now Tan Shitian and Su Guangmo. Master hopes that one day, you will be able to take charge of yourself and become a true first-class player. ā
"IāI know." Qin Mo's voice was a little choked, in fact, he had a hunch, he always felt that Master might leave after the end of this World Series, but he hadn't thought about it carefully, let alone that this day would come so quickly, making him at a loss for a while.
Li Cangyu saw that the little guy's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but come over and touch his head with a smile, and said softly: "Don't be sad, you are only eighteen years old, and there is still a long way to go, Master can't always cover you, one day you have to rely on yourself." ā
Qin Mo nodded, his eyes red and he stopped talking.
"I'll tell the manager when I go back that when I retire, Deputy Yan will take over as the captain." Ling Xuefeng looked at Yan Ruiwen and said, "You are also familiar with the captains of the major teams in the alliance, and I am relieved to hand over the style to you." As for the vice-team...... Qin Mo is still young, so let's start with the deputy captain and learn slowly. ā
"Me?" Qin Mo was a little surprised, he couldn't believe that his master would actually hand over the vice captain to him, a young player, Guo Xuan, Xu Feifei and others of the Fengse clan were all older than him......
"Well, that's you." Ling Xuefeng saw the doubts of the little apprentice, and said very firmly, "Your talent has not been fully stimulated, there is a lot of room for improvement, learn more from your predecessors, and being a deputy team is also a kind of experience for you." ā
"I see." Qin Mo clenched his fists lightly, raised his head to meet his master's gaze, and said seriously, "I will study hard." ā
- Master is so important to him, he naturally can't let Master down.
As the cat god said, he is only eighteen years old this year, and he still has a long way to go, so he can't always hide under the protection of the master. One day he will really grow up, and he will need to solve all the difficulties on his own.
Facing the young man's determined gaze, Ling Xuefeng smiled slightly, patted Qin Mo's shoulder and said, "Come on." ā
***
Compared with the calm of the Wind Clan, the Canglan Clan is like exploding a pot.
As soon as Li Cangyu returned to the team, he was dragged by Gu Siming, and the young man's eyes widened, with a curious expression: "Cat God, did you really go on vacation to the Maldives with Team Ling?" ā
"Hmm." Li Cangyu admitted very calmly, Gu Siming still wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Li Cangyu: "Call everyone to the conference room." ā
After gathering all the team members, he announced that he was retiring.
To add insult to injury, Bai Xuan also said that he didn't want to continue playing, the expression on Gu Siming's face was about to cry, Li Xiaojiang also lowered his head with red eyes and didn't speak, but Zhuo Hang and Xiao Han behaved relatively calmly.
Zhuo Hang was calm because he had already guessed this - the return of the cat god to the Miracle League would only play for one season. There are not many veteran players in the e-sports circle, and it is not easy for the cat god to persist until now, and he can be regarded as a success in leading the national team to win the world championship.
And the reason why Xiao Han was so calm was because Qin Mo had already told him privately about the two masters leaving, and he was fully mentally prepared.
Li Cangyu said: "What is Lao Zhang's plan? ā
Zhang Cianming laughed and said: "I'm older than the two of you, so it's more reliable for me to go back and engage in my studio." ā
It was a slap in the face, and the team of eight people went three at once......
Xie Shurong, who could have been coquettish with the white deputy team, instantly became the eldest person in the whole team, at this time it was not appropriate to be coquettish, several teenagers did not speak, Xie Shurong had to open his mouth to break the embarrassing atmosphere: "It is normal for the team to alternate between the old and the new, since the three of them are ready, then we are not good to stay, don't be too frustrated, the cat god should be prepared." He looked back at Li Cangyu and asked, "Cat God, what should Canglan do next, I think you also have a plan, right?" ā
"Well, the captain will be handed over to Ah Shu, you are the oldest among the rest of the people, and you have a lot of experience in playing abroad, I believe you can bring the vicissitudes up. As for the other team members, I have already said hello to Liu Chuan, and I will go to the training camp to select and find a few talented newcomers to make up for it. ā
"No problem." Xie Shurong assured responsibly, "I will try my best to lead the team." ā
Li Cangyu nodded, patted Gu Siming and Li Xiaojiang's heads with his hands, and said, "Don't look like you're going to cry, I just retired, I didn't say I left the club, I will continue to stay and watch you train." ā
This sentence is like a reassuring pill, which makes several people's hearts feel a lot better.
Gu Siming raised his head and said, "Does the cat god mean to stay as a coach?" ā
Li Xiaojiang also looked at Li Cangyu with red eyes: "Really, really, will you really continue to stay?" ā
"Of course." Li Cangyu said with a smile.
"I'll come over to be a sparring partner for everyone when I'm free, haha." Zhang Cianming smiled heartily, "My studio is currently running smoothly, call me at any time if you need it." ā
"I'll stay too." Bai Xuan smiled very gently, "I plan to settle in Changsha in the future, I can come back to see you at any time, and I have time to cook for you or something." In fact, there is another reason why he stayed, that is, he was reluctant to Xie Shurong.
Xie Shurong glanced at him and winked at him with a smile, which made Bai Xuan look away a little embarrassed.
Li Cangyu looked at Zhuo Hang and said, "Zhuo Hang will be the vice captain." ā
Zhuo Hang was stunned, quickly came back to his senses, and said seriously: "Don't worry, Cat God, I will study hard with Brother Shu, and I will ask you if there is anything I don't understand." ā
Li Cangyu smiled and said, "Well, it's good." ā
The young man's appearance is still a little immature, but he already has a responsibility.
The reason why Zhuo Hang took over is also because Zhuo Hang will be more calm in the face of reporters, and the progress of this season is indeed obvious to all. Xiao Han is very talented in games, but Xiao Han's Chinese level is really worrying, let him adapt for a while, and when Ah Shu also retires in the future, he may be able to let Xiao Han directly serve as the captain.
However, Li Cangyu can't predict what will happen in a few years, and he can only make the best arrangements for now.
***
The atmosphere of this meeting was relatively heavy, but in the afternoon, Li Cangyu quickly brought good news - on the side of the training camp, Liu Chuan carefully selected three newcomers with good talents, whose professions happened to be summoners, priests and assistants.
Obviously, Liu Chuan had the foresight to expect that Li Cangyu, Bai Xuan and Zhang Cianming would retire at the end of the season - the three of them had only signed a one-year contract - Liu Chuan prepared a replacement in advance, so as not to be in a hurry.
These three teenagers are all about eighteen years old, the same age as Gu Siming, Xiao Han, Zhuo Hang and Li Xiaojiang, Ah Shu will undoubtedly be very tired to take so many young players to play, but it is also conceivable that when these players grow up, the Canglan team will steadily maintain the status of a giant team for a long time in the future.
The team, which is made up entirely of young people, is inexperienced but vibrant.
Liu Chuan's goal of entering the Miracle Alliance is a perfect start, and Li Cangyu's dream of winning the championship has also been successfully realized.
Looking at the energetic young people in the training room, the corners of Li Cangyu's mouth finally raised a gratifying smile. 166 Reading Network
