Chapter 396: The Dusty Past of the Year
Zhen Jiabao hurriedly said in the face of Chen Xi's expression that seemed to be about to cry to himself about the difficulties in the ups and downs: "But I'm not sure if I can do it." ”
So don't put on a show of gratitude in advance now...... It's really a bit overwhelming.
Zhen Jiabao and Chen Xi volunteered to take over for the team, but after saying that Zhu Xu's parents' work was late, they excused themselves to go home late, and they didn't want to face Chen Xi's sparkling eyes like a savior.
I don't know where they got this agent, although it is indeed dutiful, but it is too easy to overflow with emotions.
Zhen Jiabao's eyes subconsciously looked over to Chu Xiao's room, today finally suppressed Chen Xi's desire to dismiss Chu Xiao, but if Chu Xiao really continued to be unrestrained in the future, Zhen Jiabao felt that no one could save him.
I hope Chu Xiao can really settle down after this incident, Zhen Jiabao shook his head, looked at the time, and turned around and went downstairs.
Zhen Jiabao turned on his mobile phone on the car back to Xishan Villa and called up the videos of the previous games, which were all images left by the live broadcast of the game at that time, recording the process of the Fire team overcoming obstacles all the way and finally breaking into the Asian qualifying tournament.
It was also in these videos that Zhen Jiabao found that although the team was not formed for too long, the tacit understanding between everyone in the team was already very good, especially the cooperation between He Yuan and Zhu Xu was almost flawless.
The more Zhen Jiabao looked at the operation of He Yuan's game character on the screen, the more he felt that it was similar to Chu Xiao back then, especially in some small tricks that were not easy to be noticed, although the similarity was very faint, but still grandpa could see a trace.
Zhen Jiabao couldn't help but remember that when he watched the idols in the game, he learned the operation method one by one when he watched the game screen recording at the beginning, and later he also practiced the same operation habits as the idol, but he didn't know if the similar game style of He Yuan and Chu Xiao was accidental.
Combined with He Yuan's maintenance of Chu Xiao that he had seen in the past two days, Zhen Jiabao felt that this matter was definitely not so simple.
It's just that the bond between He Yuan and Chu Xiao is still secondary, Zhen Jiabao looked at Zhu Xu's delicate face that flashed on the screen from time to time, and kept thinking about how to make his parents change their minds and understand that e-sports is not a flood beast.
Fortunately, the information of the team members he got when Helian Quan wanted to let him go to the team as an accompanying reporter was still in the car, Zhen Jiabao picked up the document from the side of the seat and turned it to Zhu Xu's page after watching the videos, and found Zhu Xu's home address.
It seems that if you want Zhu Xu's parents to accept e-sports, you still have to start by changing your concept, Zhen Jiabao entered the address into the mobile phone, and he had already thought about the general direction in his heart.
When Zhen Jiabao returned to Xishan Villa, Helian Quan was already sitting in the living room talking to Nick, and there were still a few photos on the sofa, and his face was not very good.
"Madame, you're back."
When the maid saw Zhen Jiabao coming back early, she called out with a smile, which made the two people talking on the sofa retract their thoughts.
Zhen Jiabao took off the coat he was wrapped in and put it in the hands of the maid, and no longer thought about Zhu Xu's parents, and joked with a smile: "Why did you come back so early today, or because of the cold weather, President Helian brought all his official duties back home to do it." ”
He Lianquan sat down next to him, and after saying hello to Nick by the way, Zhen Jiabao casually picked up a photo on the coffee table and took a closer look at it in his hand.
It looks like this photo was taken secretly, the photo shows a middle-aged man walking down the street, and it is not certain how old he is just from the photo - it is really too thick with the vicissitudes of life, and the sorrow on his face makes the man who can faintly see that he must have been quite handsome when he was young cannot tell the age.
Helian Quan was not angry because Zhen Jiabao moved those photos without authorization, but just lightly skimmed the photos he was holding on the coffee table, his expression uncertain.
"Who is this man? I think these photos seem to have been taken secretly, who can labor you to do this kind of stealing thing. ”
Zhen Jiabao picked up the photo that Helian Quan threw down, and found that the photo was also taken secretly, but the man in the photo was painting a childish oil painting on a wall with his back to the camera.
Looking at the style of the painting, it seems to be graffiti on the interior wall of the kindergarten, which is full of non-technical patterns such as red flowers, green leaves, and big suns.
Nick glanced at Helian Quan, and he reached out and pinched his brow to soothe his mind a little, and then sighed.
"Shen Chuixing."
After Zhen Jiabao heard this name from Helian Quan's mouth, he thought for a while, and then he remembered, doesn't the name Shen Chuixing belong to Helian Quan's mother's lover when she was young?
It's just that why did Helian Quan send someone to secretly take pictures of him? Could it be that there was any story after the two of them were separated by Mr. Zheng?
Zhen Jiabao's heart was itching, and her intuition told her that this matter was definitely not so simple.
Seeing this, Nick got up and said goodbye with a very good look, Helian Quan leaned on the sofa with an indifferent expression, and briefly told Zhen Jiabao about the things in Zheng Hekou's mouth.
"So you're saying that your mother committed suicide because she lost the news of Shen Chuixing from your grandfather and thought he was dead, so she ...... it."
Zhen Jiabao held the photo in his hand and didn't know what to say.
Shen Chuixing was pinching the mother who was used to threaten and control Helian Quan in the hands of the old man of the Zheng family at that time, maybe he also knew about this relationship, so he desperately ran out of the Zheng family.
Zhen Jiabao looked at the photos in his hand, although they were still photos, but the posture of his walking was tilted.
Presumably, he was a weak painter, and it took a lot of effort and suffering a lot to escape from the Zheng family back then.
"The investigator said that he has been incognito in the surrounding small county town for all these years to make a living by painting, but there are not many people in the small county town who can appreciate it, and he does not dare to show his true level, so his life is not too good."
There is no need for Helian Quan to say this, just by the dust and tiredness of Shen Chuixing in the photo, you can see his bitterness, Zhen Jiabao sighed.
"Maybe he still thinks that his mother will live well in Helian's house."
Helian Quan didn't say much, just looked at the photo with a mocking expression.
Zhen Jiabao didn't know how to comfort Helian Quan, let alone how to evaluate what Old Man Zheng did back then, so he could only comfort Helian Quan with his actions, and hugged his waist sideways.
Helian Quan's arm instantly tightened on Zhen Jiabao's shoulder, and the degree of force almost made her feel a little painful, almost the first time she really touched his weakness, and the distressed emotions spread for a while.
Xu Xie glanced at Chu Xiao, and then secretly bit his ear with Wang Jiji: "Hasn't he always had that expression, besides, what can he do when he goes to the hospital, rest assured." ”
Xu Xie and Wang Jiji's secret conversation and the look at Chu Xiao did not avoid his eyes, looking at the way these two people exchanged ears, and the eyes that glanced here from time to time, Chu Xiao knew that there must be nothing good to say about him, but he didn't care very much.
What really made Chu Xiao care was Zhu Xu's state today - yesterday he had contacted Zhu Xu's parents to expose his injury, but despite this, he didn't let Zhu Xu consciously leave the team, Chu Xiao couldn't help but be a little anxious.
Although Chu Xiao's current strength is not much behind compared to his peak, but after all, the e-sports career is a youthful meal, and if it will take two years to wait until the next World Series, Chu Xiao is not sure whether he will be able to maintain his current state by then.
Not only Wang Jiji and Xu Xie are now full of vigilance against Chu Xiao, but even Chen Xi, who has been busy preparing things and cars on the side, will look at Chu Xiao twice when he goes out and enters the door, afraid that Chu Xiao will make some trouble when he doesn't know about it.
Chu Xiao has now almost become the public enemy of the whole team, and almost everyone except Zhen Jiabao and He Yuan has opinions about Zhen Jiabao, and only hopes that one day the team can recruit two more people to come in so that he will completely die.
Zhu Xu's parents stopped abnormally today, sitting close to each other on the sofa on the side, their eyes silently but firmly locked on Zhu Xu's body, as if they had words of suffering.
Seeing this, Zhen Jiabao sat directly next to Zhu Xu's parents, and regardless of whether the two welcomed him or not, he forcibly accosted him with a smiling face.
"Hello uncle and aunt, we meet again."
Zhu Xu's parents are obsessed with work and making money all the year round, and they are indifferent to all gossip news, so although Zhen Jiabao's face has been familiar in various news media and newspapers, it is still unfamiliar to Zhu Xu's parents.
So Zhu Xu's parents only knew that it was someone from the team's side when they looked at Zhen Jiabao, but they still didn't know why Zhen Jiabao came to find him.
"Do you have something to do? If you are afraid that we will make trouble to take Zhu Xu away, don't worry, I have promised your manager to wait until you see a doctor to discuss this matter, and I will not be untrustworthy. ”
Zhu Xu's father glanced at Zhen Jiabao, put his hands on his knees and said solemnly, and Zhu Xu's mother also nodded silently on the side.
"Uncle and aunt, you misunderstood, in fact, I am a reporter for Apple Daily, and I cooperated with the team before the game, so I am just here as an accompanying reporter during this time."
Zhen Jiabao found that Zhu Xu's parents were still wary of him, and he thought that these two should not know him, so he explained his identity.
Hearing that Zhen Jiabao is a reporter Zhu Xu's parents' attitude is a little better, but as a middle-aged couple who follow the rules, Zhu Xu's parents still don't understand that it's just a game, how can they work The reporter has been paying attention to it here, and what kind of game is there......
Although Zhu Xu's parents have also checked some information about this game in the past two days, they know how big the scale and audience of this international game is, and even the Asian qualifying match in a few days will be arranged in the most famous Qingsong Stadium in S City.
You must know that Qingsong Ten Thousand People Stadium usually undertakes concerts of kings and queens in the entertainment industry, and the maximum number of spectators that can be accommodated at the same time is about 50,000 people, and when Zhu Xu's parents opened the ticketing software, they found that the tickets on the day of the game had been sold, and there were only some mountaintop tickets left.
Zhu Xu's parents also had some hesitation in their hearts at the time, and they also wondered if they were outdated and couldn't keep up with the pace of the times, how could the game, which was called a plaything when they were young, have such a great appeal today.
But finding that this game has a wide audience can't change the mind of Zhu Xu's parents, after all, they still think that the game will destroy people's minds, and most of the juvenile criminals who didn't watch the legal programs on TV are caused by addiction to the Internet, and Zhu Xu can't continue to fall so depraved anyway.
