The end of the PUBG Finals also heralds the beginning of the country's farewell to autumn and the beginning of the slow transition into winter.

Ningbo is a city in the south of China, and it is also a coastal city, and the development of the maritime transportation industry has also spawned a variety of factories in this city. The early winter didn't seem to have much impact on the city, except for a little cold, it was still as rainy as ever, and there seemed to be a slight fragrance of osmanthus in the air, which is rare in this season.

Chen Jie stood by the river and greedily breathed in the last cinnamon incense, which was his favorite taste.

"Brother Jie, come back quickly, it's about to start." A thin young man stood in the big factory and shouted at Chen Jie.

"Right now." Chen Jie waved his hand and took one last look at the scattered osmanthus flowers on the tree. The pale yellow osmanthus flowers also became a little dull because of the approaching season, and hung listlessly on the tree with a faint brown color. Chen Jie wrapped his collar and turned around and walked towards the factory.

This is Chen Jie's first month here. After Chen Jie learned the whole story of the plug-in incident, he didn't go back to the club to ask for an explanation, but found a random place to get off the bus, and settled down after finding a job that didn't require work experience. The old man didn't say anything when he found out, but just comforted him a few words and told him to take care of himself. Brother Xiong called several times, Chen Jie didn't tell him what he was doing, he just said that he was fine now, but he didn't understand some things and wanted to rest for a while, Brother Xiong didn't say anything, just comforted him, and occasionally asked him to fight PUBG with him, but he also refused. On He Xiang's side, Chen Jie told her: "Wait for me to go back." After that, she didn't call again, she didn't know what Chen Jie meant, she only knew that Chen Jie was very unhappy now, unhappy enough to close himself, and after asking Chen Jie many times to no avail, he gradually stopped calling, just sent messages every day to give a simple greeting.

Chen Jie entered the factory to greet the master and began his day's work. The master looked at Chen Jie's work progress, and after a few words of guidance, he turned around and guided the thin young man. For Chen Jie, the master is like it in his heart, can endure hardships, is willing to work, and is still smart, although he is only an apprentice, he can quickly understand and learn what he instructs, although he has only been here for a short month, but now he can process some products alone.

The emaciated young man was the son of this factory owner, named Li Ziren. Because he wanted to inherit the ancestral property, he came to the factory after high school to familiarize himself with the things in the factory, but fortunately, after his father retired, he was able to take over the factory from his father. As for why he didn't go to college, on the one hand, because his self-made father thought it was useless to go to college, and on the other hand, because the thin young man was addicted to games and had no intention of going to school. Since Chen Jie came, Li Ziren finally knew people of the same age as himself, and followed Chen Jie every day to ask questions, like a fart, as if Chen Jie was the boss's son, and he was here to work. In the eyes of others, Li Ziren looks like a sycophant.

After talking to the master, Li Ziren took advantage of the master's absence and ran to Chen Jie's side and called Brother Jie. Chen Jie looked back at him, thinking that he was looking for himself to be idle again, so he waited for him to say the following.

Li Ziren looked around and didn't find his father, then mysteriously took out a card from his pocket and said, "I went online yesterday and found this." ”

Chen Jie glanced at it, and it read, "The city's first PUBG Survival Competition will be held on November 28." Chen Jie turned his head to Li Ziren and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"I want to fight." Li Ziren bit his lip.

Chen Jie was a little surprised, although it was not for a long time, Chen Jie had also seen Li Ziren dragged from the Internet café to the factory by his father a few times, and subconsciously asked: "Aren't you afraid that your father will beat you?" ”

"Afraid! But I still want to go. There was some resoluteness in Li Ziren's tone: "If he doesn't let me go, I'll run away from home!" ”

Chen Jie smiled dumbly and patted him on the shoulder: "If you want to go, you can go, tell me that you want me to help you cover?" I can't do this, your dad will have to fire me if he finds out. Chen Jie shook his head.

"I'm not asking you to cover for me."

"That..."

"I want you to fight with me." Li Ziren interrupted without waiting for Chen Jie to finish speaking, staring at Chen Jie's eyes.

Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, then began to work, and said, "I don't know how to play games." I've heard people say that this game is very difficult, I can't play it well, and I can't help you. ”

"I know you'll play." Li Ziren dragged Chen Jie's clothes and did not give up. Seeing that Chen Jie didn't pay attention to him, he said again: "I know you can play, I know who you are." ”

Chen Jie turned around, looked Li Ziren up and down a few times and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"I was there." Li Ziren glared, and then added: "First row, I've seen you without makeup, so I know you." ”

Chen Jie was silent.

Every time the players have to put on makeup, if there is a post-game interview after the game, they will also touch up their makeup in advance, so not many people have seen them without makeup, usually Chen Jie doesn't turn on the camera when the team starts the live broadcast, I have seen Chen Jie without makeup, except for the fans who went to the base to support, there are really few people who have seen it, plus Chen Jie has long hair now, Chen Jie thinks that there are not many people who are recognized as the captain when he walks on the street. I looked at Li Ziren a few times just now, and I was also thinking about whether Li Ziren had ever been to the base and seen him without makeup. But now I understand when I hear Li Ziren say this.

"I can't help you." Chen Jie shook his head, "I don't play games now, otherwise I wouldn't come to the factory to do this, besides, I am a person who was expelled from the club, and being recognized by others will definitely affect you." Now there are still a lot of people on the Internet who say that I am hanging. ”

Li Ziren was a little anxious: "I know you didn't hang up, don't listen to people on the Internet, there are some trolls without brains on the Internet." People who really like you will believe in you. ”

Chen Jie shook his head: "I really don't play now, do you see that I have been to an Internet café to play games for so long?" Stop it. ”

Li Ziren still wanted to say something, but when he saw Chen Jie's firm eyes, he opened his mouth and gave up. Annoyed, he turned away, leaving behind the work he had just done. Seeing Li Ziren like this, Chen Jie also sighed secretly. It's not that he doesn't want to play this game, but after he knew the fact of cheating, Chen Jie suddenly lost interest in this game, including people or things related to it.

Chen Jie shook his head, threw away the distractions in his mind, and began to look for tools for work, and saw Li Ziren pick up the card on the table and wanted to throw it away. After a few more glances, he put it in his pocket.

Got off work. Chen Jie began to pack his things and prepare to go back, when he found that someone came over, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Li Ziren standing in front of him pitifully, looking at him pitifully.

Chen Jie sighed, didn't speak, and turned to leave after packing up his things. Li Ziren didn't speak, just followed behind Chen Jie. Chen Jie walked faster and he was faster, Chen Jie was slower and he was slower, and walked and stopped for more than ten minutes along the way to the place where Chen Jie lived. Chen Jie opened the door and went in, and Li Ziren stood at the door, not knowing whether to enter or not. Seeing that Li Ziren didn't come in, Chen Jie asked, "What are you doing standing, come in and sit." Li Ziren walked in.

The room is not big, but the kitchen and bathroom are all available, and since there is no sofa, Li Ziren sat on Chen Jie's bed and watched Chen Jie busy. After sitting for a while, Chen Jie asked, "What do you want to eat?" "I'm not hungry." Li Ziren replied. Chen Jie glared angrily and began to cook rice.

"Brother Jie, I know you're in a bad mood after the incident, and I don't want to ask you to help me win the championship. I just want to participate in this competition, it doesn't matter if I win or not. Li Ziren said: "My two brothers and I have the biggest dream in this life is to be able to play professionally, but our skills are not good, and my family does not agree so there is no way to realize this dream, finally I can meet an opportunity, although it is not a regular competition, but it is also a competition, we just want to try, and finally realize the dream." Brother Jie, do you have any dreams? ”

"There used to be, but now there isn't." Chen Jie smiled and began to wash the vegetables.

"My two brothers and I were there when you played, and we were all your fans, sitting in the first row, so we recognized you. When I saw you kill talent, Da Meng cried excitedly. Later, when you had an accident, the three of us went to the Internet to scold others, and several times they both wanted to rush to your base and ask why. I recognized you when I saw you for the first time, I couldn't sleep with excitement, and then I was afraid that I would admit the mistake and called them over to recognize it again, they were very excited to come to you after they were sure that you were stopped by me, I knew you must be in a bad mood, and told them not to disturb you before stopping you. ”

Chen Jie sighed. Li Ziren continued: "I know you haven't given up on this game yet, otherwise you wouldn't still have the keyboard. As he spoke, he lifted the quilt on the bed, revealing Chen Jie's keyboard and headphones for the competition.

When he left the club, Chen Jie only took these two things except for a few clothes. It is printed with a pattern designed by He Xiang himself for him. "Ajie and Axiang will always be together" This is He Xiang's strong request to add it, and there is also a handshake icon on it. The mouse was taken away by the staff during the game and had no chance to get it back, and now there are only these two things left.

Chen Jie sighed again. He is not a person who likes to sigh, on the contrary, he is very cheerful, but today he seems to sigh more than he sighs in a year. A year's career, coupled with the bits and pieces of the club, with Chen Jie's character, how can he forget it, and give up when he says he will give up.

"I'll think about it." Chen Jie finally relented. Li Ziren jumped up from the bed excitedly: "Really? Brother Jie, did you agree? ”

"I mean, I'll think about it first." Chen Jie was speechless. Li Ziren doesn't care so much, it seems that Chen Jie is relieved and Li Ziren believes that Chen Jie will definitely participate in the competition. So he stepped forward and hugged Chen Jie fiercely. Chen Jie had no choice but to break free: "I haven't agreed yet." ”

Li Ziren didn't care so much, let go of Chen Jie and ran out: "I'll go tell Da Meng them." ”

"Oops, hey, the meal is almost ready!" Before Chen Jie's voice fell, Li Ziren had already disappeared from Chen Jie's field of vision.

Chen Jie closed the door and sat on the bed, pressing his left hand on the keyboard, and pinching his right hand, as if he was still holding his exclusive mouse.

Long.

Chen Jie took out the phone and dialed a number: "Old man, tell me about your competition." ”

Although the old man was surprised, he didn't ask much, he was talking quietly over there, and Chen Jie was lying on the bed and listening quietly. It was as if the magnificent stories told by the old man were just a story. At the end, the old man said: "No matter how hard and tired we are, we can come through not only because I have your Aunt Zhuo and a few good brothers, but also those who believe in us, support us, and wait for us. ”

Chen Jie was silent. After hanging up the phone, he lay on the bed and pondered. After half a ring, I opened my phone and clicked on the Weibo that I hadn't clicked on for a month. As soon as I opened the private message, the prompt sound came out. Chen Jie clicked on them one by one. There are those who scolded him, condemned him, and asked him to apologize and explain, and more of them were the messages of those fans.

"Applejack, we believe in you!"

"Applejack, you must come back, I will always wait for you!"

"Applejack, if I could share your pain, wouldn't you be so sad now...

"Applejack..."

"Applejack..."

Chen Jie's eyes were a little moist, he always wanted to make the people around him happy, and rarely did anything for himself. In ordinary life, because I know that Chen Jie has a good temper and speaks well, except for He Xiang, everyone else rarely considers Chen Jie's ideas, and only in the game will everyone ask Chen Jie's opinion. These fans have never said this when they usually broadcast live with him, and now suddenly such feelings are revealed, which makes Chen Jie a little difficult for himself for a while, it turns out that he is so happy that he doesn't know, it turns out that so many people care about themselves, it turns out, it turns out... Chen Jie lay on the bed and sobbed quietly. The boy has tears and does not flick, after experiencing the ups and downs of being betrayed by his brother and encouraged by fans, Chen Jie finally couldn't control his emotions. He'd always wanted to ask what he wanted to do and why he was framing himself, but it didn't matter anymore. Is there anyone who supports themselves, believes in themselves, and waits for themselves more than anything else?
