10. Yangruo
Back in the banquet hall, the atmosphere of the crowd remained undiminished. There was really nothing to do, so Ann grabbed another toothpick and stuck it one by one on the leftovers, inserted a hellokitty, and changed it to a jingle cat after thinking about it. I was bored, and the air around me dispersed, and someone sat down beside me. turned around, it was Yang Ruo!
"Cub, what's silly? Something on my face? Yang Ruo picked up his phone and looked in the mirror, raised his hand and wiped it on his face.
"No, I'm not stupid? Emmmm, no—" Ann rubbed her face again, trying to stay normal.
"Two good games! Alas, it's good to be young! I envy you for your age. The response is fast, and the operation can keep up with the brain. ”
"Brother Yang, you're not old!" Ann said with her eyes wide open again, very sincerely.
"No, no, no, now I'm going to fight the passerby. The speed and reflexes are not as good as they used to be. ”
"No, no, no! I've watched Brother Yang's live broadcast, and the operation is still very sharp! "The Ann Re fan filter is extremely heavy.
"Don't talk about me. You're a little guy who's officially joined OD, how does it feel? Yang Ruo tilted his head to look at the stupid An Zai beside him.
Sure enough, as soon as this topic opened, the child who had just been pink looked depressed. "It's good in the team, but the bench is a little cold...."
"Hmm... I haven't sat on a cold bench before, but it is said that it is easy to have diarrhea after sitting for a long time. I've heard you're training hard. Yang Ruo looked appreciative, "But at your age, it's not a bad thing to sit on a cold bench, and you can grind the mentality that you played games before and sink your mind." ”
"I know, I'm not going to give up!" The idol personally went down to encourage, this BUFF is simply against the sky!
"Why play professionally? Why OD? Yang Ruo asked.
This question has been asked before, and it will have to be faced in the future, and An Zai himself has asked it countless times.
"Before, I liked OD.... I think you guys are cool on the field.... Later, the OD grades were not good, and many people despaired of the OD..... Very unhappy. I don't know when, I'm getting stronger and stronger in the game. I thought, maybe I can go professional, go to save OD... But now, I realize that I'm not as good as I thought I was... Even.. Very poor.. Everything that was conceived before turned out to be ridiculous.. I don't know..."In the face of idols, the words that have been buried in my heart are liquidated and released. All the pride is so childish and ridiculous in the face of reality. There is some shame and embarrassment in this feeling. Ann Zai has a sore nose and dry eyes.
"Yo, it's a dream stream." Yang Ruo smiled, "Isn't it because of bad academic performance?" ”
"Not really! I'm a top student! ”
Yang Ruo raised his eyebrows, "There are a lot of smart players, but there are really not many top players." ”
Ann puffed out his cheeks again, hum, if you knew how good I was at studying, I wouldn't scare you to death!
"Reality is not a hot-blooded comic. Dreams are not that simple. Yang Ruo sighed, "Cub, after recognizing this, do you still have the courage to continue walking, this is what you have to think clearly." It's not easy to have a career, it's a difficult path. Yang Ruo took a sip of beer. Ann looked up at him again, and felt his gaze pass through the noisy crowd in front of him, looking far away.
"We were playing professionally at that time, and in the final analysis, it was for money. There is an income only if there are results, so practice hard. At that time, the esports environment was not so good...... One time I was playing abroad, and I was surrounded by fans from other teams, and when we played, it was quiet and sad. Suddenly, someone shouted OD come on. How it felt at the time..... I want to cry. Yang Ruo quietly recalled the beginning of his career and recalled the days of youth.
"It was a pair of children, a man and a girl. Not sure why they have supported us since then. In a foreign country, I heard someone shouting Chinese to cheer for you, waving his hand and shouting the name of the team, not caring about the eyes of the people around him... At that time, I felt that I couldn't lose for that cheer. As Yang Ruo spoke, the box of memories opened, overflowing with excitement, and the beer can in his hand rattled.
An Zai lowered his head and listened quietly, but his heart felt like someone had grabbed him, soft and sour.
Back then, she and her brother went abroad to spend a holiday with their parents, who had temporary jobs and bought two tickets for e-sports competitions. The two children walked into the unfamiliar environment miserably, saw five Chinese faces walking out of the field, heard their few cheers, and the national mood was high, shouting for them and venting for themselves.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ruo still remembered. Unexpectedly, this cry became the driving force for their victory.
"Later, I rewatched the footage and heard the two kids cheering hoarsely when we were at a disadvantage... I guess I was impressed. At that time, my teammates and I felt that the burden on our shoulders was suddenly heavy. Maybe from then on, we will no longer fight for money, but for those who support us. Yang Ruo took a breath and raised his head to drink the beer in his hand.
"'OD is faith,' which became a slogan. We know how heavy faith is. However, faith is something that must be held on even if it is broken. Hi... It's kind of a secondary two, isn't it? Yang Ruo smiled and shook his head.
"Brother Yang, do you have any regrets when you chose to retire at that time?"
"Life is full of regrets. When I retired, I felt old, but after I retired, I realized that I was only in my early twenties, and I was still very young in society. But I've experienced a lot more than my peers, and I'm like a middle-aged person. A young school dropout who doesn't know anything but to play games. Everything I have now is given by OD, as long as OD needs, as long as I have it. ”
Yang Ruo was a little drunk, but An Zai felt that Yang Ruo, who had already passed a thousand sails at this time, was especially tall, and he really didn't love the wrong person!
"Cub, OD is in a bad situation right now, and the newcomers are not in good shape. There are many game kings, but there are very few good seedlings who are willing to give up a lot of things to stick to their careers. You have good abilities, and your passion for OD is especially rare. Maybe... After that you'll be faced with some choices, hopefully... At that time, you can still be on the side of OD. ”
An Zai didn't seem to understand, and after some things, she knew that Yang Ruo was just ringing the alarm bell that night.
"Hmm... That one... Brother Yang... Can you sign me on the jersey..."What a damn fan... In the end, Ann couldn't help but make this shameful request.
“......”
“......”
"I can't."
That's all.... Rejected? I must have been despised by idols! Definitely! Ann wants to again.
"In a few days, I'm afraid that I'll force you to sign your autograph."
Back at the base, I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. I drank too much beer, and my bladder was uncomfortable, but the Lingtai was extremely clear.
Before I knew it, I was on the rooftop. The weather is fine today, the moon is bright, and there are a few stars shining in the sky. As far as the eye can see, there are no boundaries. Cover it like the sky, tolerate it like the ground, and my heart is sparse.
Still thinking about Yang Ruo's words, I felt a burst of irritability in my heart, and stretched out my arms and legs to twitch. Suddenly thinking of something, An looked around the probe and circled around the rooftop.
"You can't be looking for me, are you?"
Sure enough, sure enough! Ji Canghai, this guy will always appear in the imperceptible corner of the rooftop!
He was obviously drunk, his eyes were foggy, his steps were vain, his face like a J of spades was full of silly smiles uncontrollably, his dark eyes were bent into two narrow crescents, and his thin lips were hooked upwards.
Alcohol is like a hypnotist with clever means, quietly dangling an invisible pendulum, making all the disguises fall asleep, revealing the most authentic appearance of the heart. Could it be that Ji Canghai's original form is a husky? It looks fierce, but it's actually stupid and pitiful?
An Zai held his chin and looked at Ji Canghai in front of him who was trying to pretend to be "I'm not drunk, how could I be drunk", feeling that he... It's a lot of fun! Thinking of the cowardice that he had just eaten in front of Yang Ruo, An Zai was angry with his guts, and the ghost raised his hand and touched his head.
