"The king of UD, get married, the flower shop, alas, I feel that these things can't be connected together."

In the peaceful and quiet flower shop, Xiao Xin looked at Free sitting opposite and couldn't help but sigh.

"The world is unpredictable, isn't it?"

Free sat comfortably back in his high-backed chair and said in a relaxed manner. In the past two years, the former world No. 1 has not changed much, he is still so chic and light, but there is a touch of melancholy in his eyes.

"Tea, please."

The woman came in with a teacup, gently placed it in front of Xiao Xin, and then put another cup for Free, when she got up, she seemed to be a little hesitant, her eyes were just staring at Free, but she didn't leave immediately, Free patted her hand and smiled slightly. She stared at Free, finally smiled as well, and turned out of the room. Looking at this scene, Xiao Xin smiled as if he had realized something, and said to Free:

"Isn't it time for you to start telling stories?"

Free shrugged:

"Actually, it's very simple, one day two years ago, I suddenly met her, and then I thought it was time to get married, so it became what it is now."

"Then why retire?"

"It's just that I'm a little tired of it, maybe people will become lazy once they get married."

Free said lightly that this thing that once caused a sensation in the world of e-sports is as ordinary as buying groceries and cooking rice in his mouth. Xiao Xin didn't speak, just looked at Free with burning eyes, and in less than a moment, Free raised his hand and surrendered:

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you all."

A certain philosopher once said: Facts are often more surprising than appearances.

The undead emperor of South Korea and the world's best Warcraft player, Free, is actually Chinese, to be precise, born in China and raised in South Korea. Xi'an is Free's hometown, where he was born, raised, married, and has too many past events here

His mother died when Free was born.

"Seeing you is like seeing your mother, because your mother has exchanged her life for you."

This is a phrase that Free's father used to say to him when he was a child. His father single-handedly brought him up, and when Free was nine years old, his father married a rich Korean woman. It's just that long-distance love may be destined to have difficult results, and a year later, the two divorced. And the stepmother, who doted on Free, used her power to win the custody of Free, and in this way, Free was taken to South Korea, and even her nationality was changed in the end. What makes people laugh and cry is that Chinese e-sports has unknowingly lost a great player. However, with the situation of E-Sport in China at that time, I am afraid that the Free will only be buried if it stays

Although he is in South Korea, the family relationship between his father and Free cannot be separated. Therefore, when Free became a Warcraft star, he still did not forget his father and his true motherland, and he often took the opportunity of the competition to come to China to meet his father. In a campus Warcraft competition co-organized by China and South Korea, Free, as a guest, came to his hometown of Xi'an and met his current wife, Ling. After three years of underground romance, the two finally decided to get married, and by that time Free had become the world's No. 1 player, and as a three-time champion, his achievements had reached unprecedented levels

Speaking of this, Free sighed and said to Xiao Xin:

"At this time, it makes sense to choose to retreat bravely."

Xiao Xin shook his head slowly:

"You won't be satisfied with the triple crown in the world's top five events. Otherwise, you're not Free! ”

Free stared at Xiao Xin, for a long time, he suddenly patted his legs and smiled:

"Sure enough, a good rival is much more interesting than a good friend!"

He stood up and looked out the window, the sky was a little overcast. Sighing slightly:

"It's been a long time since it's rained in Xi'an."

Free and Ling agreed that they would retire when he became a five-time champion, and then they would get married, have children, and live happily together. However, the wheel of fate will always inadvertently crush people's happiness within reach. Two years ago, when Free and Xiao Xin were competing, Ling suddenly fainted at home and was admitted to the hospital, and soon, the doctor diagnosed that Ling was suffering from a type of chronic anemia with up to three years to live.

Free, who was about to play the third game with Xiao Xin, received a call from his father, so he immediately left everything behind and flew to Xi'an to accompany Ling. Three days later, the two got married, and Free also announced his retirement on the Internet.

In the face of an unchangeable future, the only way for people to do their best is to cherish the happiness in front of them

"After we got married, we settled in Xi'an and opened this flower shop, and Ling likes flowers very much."

Free looked out the window and said softly, his eyes gentle and painful.

Looking at Free's back, Xiao Xin sighed. Today's happiness may become a thing of the past tomorrow. The former king of UD is now just a sad man.

"I won't be a pro again, but I have one regret."

Free turned around, looked at Xiao Xin and said:

"As an esports athlete, I have never won any honour for my home country, and those world championship trophies are recorded in the name of "Free Korea". I understand how hungry China is for a world champion. Unfortunately, I can't do it anymore. But you can do it! ”

There was a twinkle in Free's eyes:

"So, when you retired and disappeared, so many people were sad and regretful, but fortunately you went to my father's company, and it was thanks to him that he had a way to promote your comeback."

Xiao Xin was shocked and stammered:

"Is your father a man?"

"Yes, it's your old hair."

Free said crisply. Xiao Xin froze, this should be the most shocking E-Sport news of the year - if there is a reporter here at this time.

"No wonder, Lao Mao said at the time that I had two good friends, one was Ah Ming, and the other turned out to be you."

After half a salary, Xiao Xin finally regained his normal ability to speak, and he suddenly realized. His expression was a little gloomy.

"World champion? It's a pity that I can't even win the Chinese championship. ”

In front of Free, he finally showed a rare frustration. For a long time, people thought that he deserved to win all competitions, whether it was China or the world, and all the championships that people wanted should be won by him. Carrying all hope and bearing all the pressure is the so-called destiny of genius. However, who knows his feelings, joys and sorrows?

"I understand."

Free patted Xiao Xin on the shoulder and continued:

"Fut.fose, have you seen this person?"

Xiao Xin looked up in surprise and said:

"He came to you?"

"Yes."

"Inviting you to join Fut?"

"No, this guy is funny, he just said something weird."

"What?"

Free put away the smiling face and said:

"He said, "If you make a bet with him, he will definitely win!"

"Why?"

Xiao Xin's pupils contracted suddenly, and Free said lightly:

"Because, he knows your weaknesses."

"Weakness?"

"Psychology is your weakness!"

Free's tone was flat, but Xiao Xin found that his palms were already sweating. Free glanced at him and continued:

"You are always immersed in the past, that's why you lost to Liu Fei. It's just that when you imprison yourself in a personal vendetta, you forget one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

Free sat down and smiled slightly:

"You forget, the world is big!"

Beijing, Dragon Pavilion.

The individual ranking tournament is coming to an end.

The lights went out suddenly, and the hall of the Dragon Pavilion, which was full of people, became quiet in an instant. The huge LCD screen was slowly lowered from the top of the Dragon Pavilion, and the cheers like a tsunami sounded, and the crowd boiled again!

On the big screen, a line of words is displayed:
