"If Free doesn't abstain, are you sure you can win him?"

Xiao Xin and Liu Fei walked side by side on the tree-lined path. After the hustle and bustle of the day, the Shenghua campus at night is like a young woman who has washed away the lead, showing the serenity and purity it deserves. Liu Fei's soft voice was particularly beautiful in this quiet night.

"Nope. But he wasn't absolutely sure he would win me. ”

Although there was no winner or loser in the battle with Free, according to the rules, the Chinese team still won, so China defeated South Korea for the first time in a direct confrontation with e-sports. Xiao Xin, who won the tiebreaker, naturally became the biggest hero of the Chinese team, and the shocking battle between him and Free on LostTemple was regarded as a classic. "Esports Times" used four words to evaluate this game: unprecedented. So, overnight, Xiao Xin became the "hope of China's Warcraft", "the new leader of the undead", and "the hot candidate for the WCG champion". It wasn't until I returned to Shenghua University that I finally got this moment of tranquility.

"Fei, I haven't been with you well in the past few days"

"I understand."

Liu Fei and Xiao Xin held hands, and her gentle appearance was like a standard good wife and mother.

Looking at Liu Fei's beautiful face, Xiao Xin suddenly paused and said very seriously:

"After graduation, we'll get married, shall we?"

Faced with this sudden proposal, Liu Fei's body trembled, and she didn't answer, just lowered her head. After a long time, she raised her head, looked at Xiao Xin with a complicated expression, and said faintly:

"Why didn't you tell me about the four-line operation?"

Xiao Xin, who was waiting for an answer, obviously didn't expect Liu Fei to ask such a question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"When I saw you playing on stage, I suddenly felt like you were far away from me. I'm not reconciled, I'm afraid you'll throw me farther and farther away. I don't want to be a drag on you in the future! ”

These words seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, and Liu Fei became more and more excited when she said it in the end, and her fair face flushed.

"Didn't we say okay, let's get married and become professional players together. And,No matter what level I get,I won't change with you.,Warcraft and feelings are two different things.。 ”

After listening to Liu Fei's words, Xiao Xin breathed a sigh of relief: it turned out that she was just afraid that she would look down on her after she became famous. Xiao Xin thought so.

"I will never let you go in my life!"

Xiao Xin held Liu Fei's hand tightly. Feeling the warmth coming from her hands, Liu Fei was also a little moved.

"When you win the first place in China, I will marry you!"

Xiao Xin smiled, he was absolutely confident that he could do such a condition.

"Good! Don't rely on it then! ”

Liu Fei also smiled.

On the tranquil tree-lined path, under the dim blue light, a pair of lovers sweetly embraced each other.

Wang Xue has a habit of going to the official website of the Korean E-sports Association every night, and many major E-SPORT news will be released there as soon as possible. Especially as an intern reporter of "E-sports Times", Wang Xue never forgets to learn about the latest news.

Tonight, when Wang Xue entered the website as usual, she found that the webpage was very strange, with only a simple picture and a line of words on the whole page. The picture is the scene of Free and Xiao Xin shaking hands cordially after the battle of the century, and when Wang Xue saw that line of Korean characters, she suddenly froze as if she were petrified.

The next day, the cover news of China's most authoritative E-SPORT magazine "E-sports Times" - Free announced its retirement!

Xiao Xin sat in the classroom with a copy of the latest issue of "E-sports Era" in front of him. There was a lot of noise around, but he didn't realize that the news of Free's retirement had suddenly made his mind a little hollow. When a person walking alone at the peak suddenly encounters an opponent of equal strength, the feeling of joy and the excitement of meeting a confidant, Xiao Xin fully experienced it in the game with Free. Therefore, he also made truly defeating Free the ultimate goal of his Warcraft career. However, Free suddenly retired, and this goal was suddenly failed before it was achieved! From now on, where will the world find opponents? Where to find a soulmate?

At this time, Xiao Xin received a text message.

"Hello TopOne, the amazing Chinese genius. As you may already know, I won't be a pro again. I want to tell you that playing against you has made me feel the endless joy of esports, and you are the most talented player I have ever met. If everything continues, I'm almost certain that we'll be best rivals and friends, however, I'll have to leave. You don't have to feel sorry for me, I'm content now because I've found the greatest happiness. Finally, bless you, GL, HF!

- Your Rival and Friend: Free"

Xiao Xin dialed the caller ID on the text message as fast as he could, he wanted to keep this great opponent and keep his goal! However, the voice on his phone disappointed him, and Free had turned it off.

Armin rushed in like a gust of wind.

"Old and new! Old and new! Look, Free is retired! ”

Xiao Xin glanced at him weakly and pointed to "E-sports Era" on the table.

"Damn! You already know that. ”

Xiao Xin took the phone to Ah Ming. After reading Free's text message, Amin also sighed.

"This guy is a respectable opponent and an interesting person. It's a pity"

Xiao Xin stood up and pushed open the window. Outside the window, the autumn wind swept up two or three fallen leaves and flew into the air, and then slowly scattered and fell. A generation of ghost emperors floated away like falling leaves, and they didn't even leave a single back for people

The WCG is about to kick off, and the eyes of the world will be drawn to this annual esports event. First up will be the qualifiers for each country and region. This year, the Chengdu competition area is particularly eye-catching, because of Xiao Xin's participation. After Free's retirement, Xiao Xin has become a recognized immortal new king. His first WCG journey naturally sparked interest.

This time, not only Xiao Xin, Ah Ming, Liu Fei, and Zhu Jun all signed up for the qualifiers. However, Xiao Xin can't train with Liu Fei and them, because the national team will have a month-long training camp. In order to maintain the state of the national players, Li Yan specially organized this training camp.

At Chengdu Airport, Ah Ming and Xiao Xin sat in the waiting room.

"Why didn't Liu Fei come yet, didn't she say that she was going to see you off?"

Amin muttered displeasure. In front of Xiao Xin, only Ah Ming dared to find fault with Liu Fei.

"Don't worry, does my wife dare not come to see her husband?"

Amin was vomiting. Xiao Xin's phone rang.

"New, I have something at home that asks me to go back, and I can't come to see you off."

Liu Fei's voice was a little anxious.

"Okay, that's okay. I'll call you when I get there. ”

Although he was a little disappointed, Xiao Xin still didn't say anything. Lovers should understand each other.

It's time to get on the plane.

"I'm not here, don't be lazy, boy, I'm waiting to fix you in the finals!"

"Damn! Lao Xin, if you dare to win me, I will tell you about your sleep and grinding your teeth! ”

“”

Once again, I came to Beijing. Hero was afraid that Xiao Xin didn't know the road, so he drove to the airport to pick him up. Xiao Xin found that the captain of the national team turned out to be a very careful person.

"Brother, it's a pity that you already have a girlfriend, otherwise I can introduce my sister to you, she is a big beauty!"

Xiao Xin discovered that the respected Hero was actually a bit like a mature version of Ah Ming.

"Captain, you don't seem to take good care of your sister."

"Haha, you don't know, my sister is your loyal fan, and she said that she wanted to target you."

"Then I really want to see her, by the way, can I kidnap her?"

“”

The teammates of the national team met again, although Xiao Xin was a newcomer, he did not have any strangeness. A group of young esports elites come together and don't need anything other than excitement and passion.

Li Yan's intensive training is very strict, and there is hardly any rest time in a day except for eating and sleeping. Xiao Xin will call Liu Fei every day after training, Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and there is always endless words between lovers. It's just that Xiao Xin, who was looking forward to marrying Liu Fei home after winning the Chinese championship, didn't notice that Liu Fei on the other end of the phone often looked a little haggard and absent-minded.

A month passed quickly, and the WCG qualifiers kicked off.

Xiao Xin returned to Chengdu and began his first WCG journey.

There was hardly any suspense, Xiao Xin easily advanced all the way, and some people directly abstained as soon as they saw that their opponent was TopOne. This is a disappointment for journalists who want to dig up news.

Liu Fei, Ah Ming and Zhu Jun also survived the first two rounds safely, but fortunately, Xiao Xin did not meet his school teammates in advance. However, this good fortune ended in the quarterfinals, and Xiao Xin's opponent was Zhu Jun.

The nights at Shenghua University are always so quiet and pleasant, Xiao Xin and Liu Fei walk on the familiar tree-lined paths.

"Tomorrow's game, will you win against Zhu Jun?"

Liu Fei asked softly.

"Of course, even teammates can't let me. You know my goal, to be the champion of China, and then marry you! ”

Xiao Xin smiled confidently.

Liu Fei suddenly stopped, and his warm hand left Xiao Xin's grasp.

"Let's break up."
