Because it was held at home, this year's World Finals has a more important meaning for everyone in the LPL, whether it is players or spectators, and even in the eyes of many people, this significance is more than the competition itself.

After TL and Ichthyosaurus took away the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, respectively, the remaining No. 3 seed spot became even more precious.

It is certainly a joy for SKY to win this precious spot, but with the development of esports over the years, the overall environment has improved a lot, such as turning a blind eye to losers.

After the bubble match, the official held a grand departure ceremony for the three teams that will represent LPL on the bubble stage, and that night, 419, as the loser, also appeared on the hot search.

This is the first time in three years that Wang Hao has missed the World Finals.

What's more eye-catching is Kim Jae-so, who can be called a model of conscience among many Korean aids, coupled with his own outstanding strength, he has attracted countless fans after the intercontinental competition, and a sentence in the previous interview about him joining 419 was also widely circulated: "Wang Hao is very strong, although he has not won any championships, but in my mind, he has always been one of the strongest ADCs, and I want to help him win the championship." ”

The picture is the tears on his face when he shook hands with a smile and turned to leave the stage after losing to SKY, and the photos of Zhou He, who also cried uncontrollably after losing AVI yesterday, circulated on the Internet.

Lin Xuan has long known the cruelty of e-sports, and seeing these two photos, it can be described as "related", but this is a matter of no choice, and the only choice on this road is to keep winning.

Although there is no eternal winner on this road.

For SKY, this summer tournament is far from complete, but having obtained the ticket to the World Championship, whether it is the outside world or yourself, at least you can have the last point of explanation.

It's not that you're satisfied, but there's still a chance to get back what you lost.

On the night the results came out, Lin Xuan received messages from many relatives, friends, and teachers, some congratulating, some greetings, and some saying that they would definitely buy tickets to support on the spot.

Hou Xiaohu: "See you in the bird's nest, brother-in-law!" ”

Su Muran: "Come on, come on, the school's one million e-sports scholarship is waiting for you!" ”

Xu Qingru: "Many students in our class are ready to go to the scene to see. ”

Zhao Han: "We're waiting for you in Jiangcheng." ”

Guo Jia: "I'm ready to save up for tickets to the Bird's Nest." ”

Yan Feifei: "Come on, see you at the Bird's Nest." ”

Jiang Jinghuai: "Congratulations, brother-in-law, train hard and achieve great results, by the way, can you lend me some money, I've been a little tight lately." ”

Jiang Qianyu: "If Jiang Jinghuai asks you to borrow money, he will say that your money is all with me." ”

Lin Xuan: "It's already yours, okay?" ”

Lin Xuan didn't care about the deal between Xiao Nizi and Jiang Jinghuai, most of the other people's messages would also reply, but some would chat a few words, and some would just be polite, not because they wanted to take a shelf, but there would really be messages from some people who were not very familiar with him, and he had to respond enthusiastically and politely, saying that everyone's friendship was still there, and it would not disappear because of the distance and the lack of meeting.

Entering the World Championship, everyone was in a good mood, and on the flight back to Hangzhou with the Fish Dragon Team the next day, everyone was talking and laughing, but Lin Xuan noticed that Mu Wanli's mood seemed to be a little low, and after returning to the base, he asked casually, Mu Wanli just shook his head and said that there was nothing wrong.

Lin Xuan saw that he didn't say anything, so naturally he didn't ask.

Lin Yi and Jiang Ya just arrived in Hangzhou yesterday, and today they asked Xiao Nizi to take the two of them to see the house first, and they don't have to train today, after Lin Xuan landed, he sent a message to Xiao Nizi and went directly to them.

Among the houses that Xiao Nizi looked at during this time, there were three sets that were more satisfied, and the most expensive one was a three-story villa located on the side of the Grand Canal, about more than 30 million, which was her favorite set, but it was a pity that Jiang Ya directly vetoed it, and she didn't even look at it, Lin Xuan took a taxi to go over, she was muttering about it quietly, but she was not dissatisfied, she just felt a pity, she liked that yard very much.

Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't say that she would not end well if she raised flowers and grass, and said very arrogantly that after two years, we will definitely buy it when we have money, and if one set doesn't work, there will be two sets, after all, depending on the market, family planning will have to continue to be released at that time, and if you have a few more places, which line will be small.

The other two sets of parents were more satisfied, so they began to struggle with which one was better. One set is not far from West Lake, in the city center, and the other is near Xixi, with an area of more than 100, and the price is about 80,000 yuan.

Lin Yi's temperament naturally can't let Lin Xuan or Jiang Qianyu pay money, even if he knows that the two of them have a small treasury, Jiang Ya is very open to this, anyway, the two of them have money, and they don't care who pays the money, according to her meaning, the down payment is paid by the parents, and the rest of the money is paid back slowly by the two of them.

Lin Xuan actually didn't pay much attention to this, if it weren't for Xiao Nizi, he wouldn't even have the idea of buying a house, he went to the place to accompany him and take a look, Xiao Nizi has already investigated, the location pattern and environment are basically not much to be picky about, Xiao Nizi is more inclined to the one next to Xixi, but at this time he is naturally not in a hurry to make a decision, after looking around, he will go to lunch first, and then go home.

During the Spring Festival, the relationship between Lin Xuan and Jiang Qianyu was first exposed, which can be said to have made the family restless, although they later reconciled, the two left home quickly, and the time they were really at home as a couple was basically zero.

So although the relationship between the two has already been announced to the public, this time the family reunion, whether it is Lin Yi, Jiang Ya or Lin Xuan and Jiang Qianyu, is obviously still a little uncomfortable with such a change in relationship, especially Lin Yi and Jiang Ya, it is really not enough to fully accept and adapt to it in more than half a year.

When Lin Xuan didn't come over, the two of them accompanied their daughter to see the house and enjoyed themselves, as soon as Lin Xuan came over, after the initial enthusiasm and joy, the atmosphere cooled down slightly, and it seemed a little subtle and awkward.

Lin Xuan knew that he didn't dare to make a mistake at all, he was more honest than when he didn't make it public before, and he occasionally made eye contact with Xiao Nizi, and they all tacitly communicated, so he quickly looked away, lest he make his parents feel uncomfortable.

The two of them are cautious, Jiang Ya sees it in her eyes, she is much more rational and courageous than Lin Yi, the matter has come to this point, she has long understood that it is a foregone conclusion that children will become pairs, seeing the two of them like this, and thinking that the two are now in a foreign relationship, not to mention thousands of miles away from each other, but also burdened with pressure from public opinion and relatives and friends, but a little distressed.

She was soft-hearted, so she no longer deliberately maintained the original mode of getting along, and she no longer avoided taboos in the relationship between the two, and when she had lunch, she took the initiative to talk about the future plans of the two.

"Qianqian likes Xixi's set, then that set is good, the price can be discussed, let's try to talk about it again, don't worry about the decoration, but you must make the decoration a little better, even if you get married in the future, don't settle here, work here, there is always a place to stay."

Lin Xuan said very doggedly: "It makes sense, it's still my mother's long-term vision." ”

Xiao Nizi knew how to behave as always, and said sweetly: "We will be where you are." ”

Jiang Ya said: "I can't see each other twice a year, where are we and where are you?" ”

Jiang Qianyu pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "Oh, isn't that going to school, when we graduate, I'll be honest at home with you." ”

Jiang Ya said angrily: "Counting on you, your father and I might as well be able to raise a dog." ”

Xiao Nizi smiled sweetly flatteringly.

Jiang Ya asked Lin Xuan again, "How many days off do you have?" ”

Lin Xuan said with some embarrassment: "Just today, I have to go back to the base for training tomorrow." ”

Lin Yidao: "You go to train you, it doesn't matter, I'll just take care of the house with your mother, you don't have to worry about anything." ”

Jiang Ya glared at him angrily, and Lin Yi smiled dryly: "It's mainly up to your mother." ”

After Jiang Ya spoke, the originally awkward atmosphere was better, but Lin Xuan was still very well-behaved in front of the two of them, and returned to the residence after dinner, Xiao Nizi wanted to take a nap, and Lin Yi also said that he was sleepy, so he went back to his room to sleep.

Lin Xuan very much hoped that his stepmother would also be sleepy, so that he could sneak to Xiao Nizi's room, but unfortunately, her old man did not have this plan, so Lin Xuan had to sit in the living room.

Jiang Ya cleaned up the living room, in fact, since the two lived together, Xiao Nizi has always been diligent in taking care of housework, and the windows are bright and clean everywhere, but it is still easy to find some unclean places when she wants to be a mother, and she will dislike this mess for a while and say that it is dirty for a while, where can Lin Xuan still sit still, get up to help, and be pushed back, so she had to sit on the sofa and stare at her with big eyes.

Lin Xuan is actually a little weak-hearted, lest Xiao Nizi didn't clean up and missed some clues, although he recognized the relationship between the two, it was not a big deal if something happened, but this kind of thing was really difficult to be reasonable, after all, Xiao Nizi would not come of age until November this year...... Guidance really can't be considered positive energy.

He thought about these messy thoughts, Jiang Ya didn't look at the unpleasant place, Lin Xuan quickly got up to boil water to make tea, Jiang Ya usually doesn't drink much tea, but she doesn't hate it, sat on the sofa and rested for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you know where your mother lives?" ”

Lin Xuan's hand shook, and Jiang Ya said angrily: "I'm just here, I asked casually, I didn't plan to see her, and I didn't think about looking for trouble, it's just ......"

She looked at Lin Xuan and sighed, "You've grown so big." ”

At the same time, both parents have the experience of divorce, coupled with Shen Yuan's attitude towards her, Lin Xuan knew that she was somewhat emotional about this kind of thing, and said with a smile: "She is doing well, her husband has a good personality, she is good to her, her daughter is obedient and well-behaved, her grades are good, we are doing well, the previous things have passed, there is no need." ”

Jiang Ya nodded, and asked again: "Shen He contacted me a few years ago and asked me to help him check your computer, saying that the matter is very important, did he tell you anything later?" ”

Lin Xuan smiled: "It's nothing, probably not at ease, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of shallowness or something." ”

Jiang Ya stared at Lin Xuan for a while before slowly asking, "Is that it?" ”

Lin Xuan's heart moved, and he had a faint feeling that his stepmother seemed to know something, but when he asked Shen He, he clearly said that there was no way to say such a thing as "Su Hui", even if it was someone close to him, it was the same.

But looking at the stepmother like this, it's not like she doesn't know anything?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Ya sighed: "After you were discharged from the hospital in a car accident, your temperament changed a lot, and you became a lot more sensible...... Although your dad lost his temper, in his heart, he didn't really care much about the matter itself. ”

Lin Xuan probably understood what she meant, Lin Yi's temperament was a bit "so happy", he loved face, liked flattery, had soft ears, and had no opinion when he encountered problems, his original tantrum was not so much to prevent it, but to vent his emotions more.

But Jiang Ya said this, there is an off-string sound.

Lin Xuan let out an "um", poured tea in silence, and waited for her next step.

Jiang Ya stared at Lin Xuan and said calmly: "When I married your father, you were just ten years old, and it has been ten years now, I watched you and the two grow up little by little, and that day I suddenly knew that the two of you actually liked each other, surprised, annoyed...... There are all of these, but I can't figure it out, my own daughter, the son I watched grow up, although one is smarter than the other, but since childhood, he has always been very obedient, especially Xiao Xuan, and even obediently makes me feel a little too conformist. ”

She lowered her gaze and paused for a moment before she said, "The two of them, why did they suddenly have such a thing?" ”

Lin Xuan didn't want to be silent about this matter anymore, and said softly: "Mom, there's nothing wrong with the two of us in this matter, right?" ”

Jiang Ya looked up at him, a slight smile appeared on her dignified and beautiful face, and said, "Mom didn't say that you were wrong. After a pause, he continued: "But in this matter, shallow may have that courage, the Xiao Xuan in my impression, although he is older, but in the face of this kind of thing, most of them will retreat." ”

When she said this, she smiled and said: "You probably don't know, when I was not married to your father, my father was angry because of my divorce, and he went back to the New Year with me, and the little girl who was not yet ten years old lifted the table for Chinese New Year's Eve in front of a large family, and I don't know where she got the strength to ...... it."

She had talked about this once before, but she probably forgot it herself, Lin Xuan smiled and didn't answer.

"Do you know the last time I had such an experience?"

Jiang Ya's eyes suddenly became fluttering, she was looking at Lin Xuan, but her eyes were empty, and she didn't know what she thought, so it took a while to come back to her senses, and said faintly: "I fell in love with Shen He since I was a student, and in order to marry him and stay abroad, I almost turned against my family, but later, I don't know when it started, when I accidentally recalled this experience, I suddenly found that I don't know when I started, I don't know when I didn't recognize him." ”

Her words were obviously not as coherent and confusing as before, "He didn't accompany me all the way, and I loved the person I could trust my life with." ”

Lin Xuan was silent, but he remembered what Shen He had said again, he still seemed to have affection for his stepmother, so how did the two of them get to such a situation?

Last year in the grove in her hometown, Xiao Nizi once said that Shen He and Jiang Ya divorced because he cheated, but now it seems that it is not the truth.

And Shen He once said that even if it is for a close relative, he can't mention the matter of "Su Hui", will it have anything to do with it?

Jiang Ya's words just now echoed in her ears again: "He didn't accompany me all the way, I love the person I can trust for my life." ”

He's not him anymore.

Are two lives of the same person one person?

This kind of question that can probably rise to the philosophical level Lin Xuan didn't have the heart to study, he was more pragmatic and only cared about what Jiang Ya had to say.

After Jiang Ya finished speaking, she was silent for a long time, then breathed a sigh of relief, stared at Lin Xuan's eyes and asked word by word: "Xiao Xuan, you answer me a question seriously." ”

Lin Xuan struggled to control his emotions and eyes, slightly revealing some doubts, and asked, "You say." ”

"Do you have the same experience as Shen He?" When Jiang Ya spoke, her eyes kept staring at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

Jiang Ya asked, "You don't understand what I'm talking about?" ”

Lin Xuan smiled bitterly: "You don't mean the divorce experience, right?" ”

Jiang Ya's gaze stayed on his face for two or three seconds before he sighed and said, "It's okay, Mom is thinking too much, okay, it's rare for you and Qianqian to have time to meet, don't be so restrained because I and your father, I know that you two know how to be proportionate." ”

Lin Xuan laughed dryly, and said with some embarrassment: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll chat with you, besides, you don't know, her temperament, I woke her up, she can be angry with me for a day." ”

Jiang Ya smiled, and didn't urge Lin Xuan to find Jiang Qianyu, picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if she suddenly thought of something, and asked, "What's the name of that girl in your team?" ”

"You mean Jiang Yingxue?"

"It seems to be called this name, by the way, there was another one before, it was called Xu Qingru, right?"

"Uh, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing, it's not small talk."

"It's not...... Mom, Mom, that, it's easy to get dizzy after taking a long nap at noon, and it also affects sleep at night, you sit back first, I'll call shallow to get up, she often sleeps for a long time at noon and won't be sleepy at night......"

"Does she do that often?"

"yes, and she sends me a message as soon as she can't sleep, but fortunately we have a different jet lag, and I happen to be here during the day, so I can coax her."

"It's okay, she just fell asleep, it's okay to sleep for a while, and besides, aren't you afraid that she will be angry when she gets up?"

"Then you should shout and you have to shout, right, I'm okay when I'm a little angry, I'm used to it."

"I'll call her later, and you'll sit here and talk to me."

"Uh...... You say, in fact, I like to talk to you the most, really. ”

"I heard that when you went back to your hometown last summer, you met a girl on the train, and she was still in the same school, and when you saw you, I liked what you liked, is this really the case?"

"No, no, Mom, listen to me...... Of course it's fake.,Shallow nonsense.,Do you think I look like I can make girls chase backwards? The girl she said is called Yan Feifei, and she likes one of my classmates, Zhao Han's boyfriend, named Zou Yi, who shares a dormitory with me, and we went out to play together last summer, do you still have an impression? ”
