Ten minutes later, Li Shiyi and Xiao Er were already sitting in the carriage of Modu Metro Line 2. Eight?? One Chinese ≈ = ≤.≤8≥1≥Z≤≤.≤COM

To say "sitting" is not a very appropriate word.

Because this is also the peak period of the evening, although today is the weekend, but at this moment the subway is still full of passengers, the carriage is extremely crowded, the two rows of seats have already been crowded, Li Shiyi and Xiao Er have barely found a corner of the carriage, holding the railing handle above their heads to maintain a balance and stand.

"Now it's ...... Five twenty. ”

Lowering his head and taking out his mobile phone to look at the time, Xiao Er quickly calculated in his heart, and then felt relieved:

"One stop in three or four minutes, a total of six or seven stops, it should be in time!"

Li Shiyi on the side also showed a little happy look on his face, although it was not a good feeling to squeeze the subway like this, and it was far from the treatment of the other members of the first and second teams of his own team club who took the club's special car to the destination comfortably, but as a substitute for the team, there was nothing to complain about and ask for.

Anyway, as long as you can get to the mountain Internet café on time to participate in the event, you can receive a red envelope at that time, which is enough to celebrate with joy.

As if thinking of something, Li Shiyi looked at his companion roommate in front of him:

"Xiao Er, I remember that you are also a native of Shanghai?"

"Family...... Not bad, right? ”

When asked this kind of personal question, Li Shiyi was also a little cautious.

Xiao Er nodded happily and admitted without hesitation: "Yes, my mother is an associate professor at the university, and my father is in business, so he is not very rich, but he is enough to live anyway." ”

Frankly and generously, there is no concealment.

Li Shiyi nodded when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart:

"Then it stands to reason that you shouldn't be short of money, right, how can you still be so concerned about the business cooperation activities of our club and taking red envelopes?"

"It's just a few hundred dollars, it's not a big deal for you, is it?"

Such doubts have long been in Li Shiyi's heart, and since the companion roommate in front of him is a native of the magic capital, he can usually go home to live, where is the use of living in a dilapidated and simple collective dormitory with him and those substitutes from other clubs?

Xiao Er smiled when he heard it:

"Hey, this is Brother Li, you don't know anything."

"Actually, it's because my family is strict, and my parents originally wanted me to finish high school and go to college step by step, find a promising major to continue my studies, and then come out with a decent job."

"But I'm not happy to live this kind of scheduled life."

"I just want to play esports and be a professional player!"

"Then I told my parents about this idea, ouch was angry with them at the time, and came up and scolded me for being a bloody dog, and then all kinds of bitter persuasions, but I couldn't resist my mind has been decided, they can't help it, so they just let me say that I want to play professionally, but since then I have cut off my financial resources, everything can only rely on myself, if I can really get along, then let me continue to do it, and if I can't go on, I will honestly go back and listen to their arrangements to live."

"So—"

Xiao Er spread his hand at Li Shiyi:

"I'm on my own right now."

"This red envelope is a few hundred yuan less, of course, it was not enough for me to spend a week of pocket money before, but now it is a big amount for me - ouch, I have figured out how to use this money, and I haven't eaten a good meal for half a month, and these coarse tea and light meals in the club are really uncomfortable...... I got the red envelope tonight, I will find a Haidilao family to have a good meal and treat myself! ”

Looking at Xiao Er's eyes sparkling and a look of hope and longing, Li Shiyi's gaze became a little complicated, and he asked in a low voice:

"That's ...... Is it worth it? ”

"Huh?" Xiao Er was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then replied without thinking about it: "Of course it's worth it!" ”

Saying that, he came to the spirit again:

"I want to make a name for myself in the professional e-sports circle, and I want to pay a small price for my dream now, if I can't even accept this kind of thing, then it's too inferior, right?"

"That is, I have to suffer a little bit now, and when I become the top professional god of the national uniform in the future, it will be majestic! Looking back, my parents and parents have to be convinced! ”

Looking at the roommate in front of him, Li Shiyi lowered his head, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

Such a spirit......

Such a vision of dreams and the future......

back then.

He's had it too.

Even in that more difficult environment back then, he and his closest teammates were able to grit their teeth and persist in working hard, willing to give everything they had for the goal and dream in their minds without complaint.

But now—

Nothing is the same anymore.

Now he has no qualifications or ability to talk about any dreams, staying in the circle as a substitute in the club of this Alpine team, numb like a walking corpse every day, what he is doing is only that meager salary, just for the cruel and realistic life and survival.

"Speaking of which, Brother Li, aren't you the same?"

Xiao Er suddenly looked at Li Shiyi, and such a sentence came out of his mouth.

Li Shiyi was stunned, and shook his head with a wry smile:

"I'm not like you."

"I'm satisfied with what I can eat now—I'm trying to earn some more money for my sister's education, and what else is there to ask for."

But Xiao Er shook his head again and again when he heard it:

"No, no, no!"

After a pause, his eyes fell on Li Shiyi, and Xiao Eryi changed his previous hippie smiling face to become a little serious and solemn:

"If Brother Li, you really have no dreams and no pursuit of e-sports, then why is there any need to stay in a place like the magic capital? Consumption is high and survival pressure is high, and you can't save any money at all, but don't you still insist on staying in the club until now? ”

"If you really want to eat and wait for death, then why do you secretly take time out of the training room every day to play ranking?"

"It's a complete waste of time, isn't it?"

One word at a time.

Every sentence seems to be directed at people's hearts.

Li Shiyi was speechless.

Be.

If he is really disheartened, then it would be good to take his sister back to his hometown directly, there is no need to endure hardship in a metropolis like the magic capital, and there is no need to stay so cold in the club.

Maybe it's for my sister to have a better learning environment?

But ask yourself, is this really the only reason why he is still in the magic capital and in the e-sports circle?

Li Shiyi's heart trembled slightly at this moment.

Or is it ......

In fact, deep down, in fact, he still has such an unwilling existence.

Unwilling.

I am not willing to do nothing like this.

Unwilling to struggle in the e-sports circle for so many years, he finally had to choose to leave as a loser.

Unwilling to accept the glorious history created by himself and several partners and teammates back then, it can only slowly dissipate with the passage of time, and no one will remember it again.

(yes-)

Li Shiyi took a deep breath and raised his head:

(There will still be such and such unwillingness, reluctance, or because he always retains the most meager hope in the depths of his heart, he will always stay here year after year, looking forward to a miracle.) ）

But......

Did it work?

The bitterness on his face became stronger, Li Shiyi shook his head and laughed in a low voice:

"Even if you still have a dream to pursue, what can you do?"

"Now I deserve to talk about this, the so-called esports dream...... It's already an unattainable luxury. ”

Xiao Er wanted to persuade again and again, but at this time, Li Shiyi had no intention of continuing the topic, the subway slowly stopped at the platform, Li Shiyi looked up at the door, and then smiled at Xiao Er:

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

"It's time to get there, let's go."
