Although I really want to see Lee Sang-hyuk's jokes, considering that this person is the best man he booked after all, it is better to comfort him.

The SKT base is not far from the UR base, Xu Ruoguang put on a mask and went out directly.

Now he is a very famous player.

It may be a bit of a humbling thing to say that.

In fact, it is already at the point where you will definitely know him as long as you know about e-sports.

However, Xu Ruoguang didn't feel anything about this, and he didn't feel troubled or excited.

He wasn't a particularly showy guy in the first place.

It snows lightly in Seoul in winter.

In the past, the cold and fast-paced city seemed to be a little warmer with steaming roadside stalls in the cold winter of Layue.

Today, Xu Ruoguang was wearing a khaki tweed coat and a dark red scarf around his neck, looking calm and indifferent.

Although he couldn't see his face because he was wearing a mask, his upright figure still attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Xu Ruoguang, who realized this, pulled the mask a little higher and walked quickly to the small door behind the SKT base.

He knocked expertly on the door, poking his head out of the window next to him.

"Who?"

"Uncle Yonghyuk, it's me."

Xu Ruoguang smiled and pulled down the mask and waved his hand.

"Oh, it's you kid."

The SKT doorman looked at it with wide eyes and smiled.

He remembered Xu Ruoguang.

About four or five years ago, there was a very strange player in SKT who went out at four or five o'clock in the morning every day to buy some fried noodles or meatball rice cakes.

Because the time difference with other players is too big, this doorman uncle who has worked in SKT for many years really remembers him.

Of course, the main thing is that the appearance of the teenager at that time was too outstanding.

People with more characteristics like this do belong to a very memorable type.

The doorman rubbed his hands and opened the iron door behind him with a sigh of relief.

Xu Ruoguang smiled and thanked him and walked into the back door of the SKT base.

Just as he was about to leave, the doorman stopped him.

Hand him a roasted sweet potato from the room.

"It's cold, you must pay attention to keeping warm now, I haven't seen you for a long time, I have time to come to SKT to have more fun."

"Okay."

Xu Ruoguang did not refute, and nodded obediently.

This uncle is indeed very good, Xu Ruoguang often went out at four or five o'clock when he was still in SKT, and the ordinary doorman was probably too lazy to get up to help open the door.

After putting away the sweet potatoes, Xu Ruoguang was about to walk to the contestant's area when he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

"Gee, isn't that our Emporer?"

The little brother in a suit and leather shoes walked over with a look of surprise on his face.

"Are you ......?"

"Asi, it's normal if you don't remember, I'm the translator who received you with Coach KKOMA at that time."

The little brother smiled, "Now I am also mixed with the small management, and I am helping to lead the youth training." ”

Xu Ruoguang suddenly smiled and exchanged a few words with him.

"What is the matter with the Emporer players coming to SKT?"

The little brother was a little curious.

It is impossible for SKT to stop Xu Ruoguang from coming, and even wish Xu Ruoguang would come.

But after such a long time, Xu Ruoguang has not been to SKT a few times.

Why did you suddenly come here today?

"I saw some news on the Internet, and I was a little worried about Lee Sang-hyuk's condition."

Xu Ruoguang sighed,

"I feel that he is a little too stressed, I am idle and bored anyway, it is better to come to him to play, and I can also help him relieve the pressure."

"Faker player? You guys have a good relationship. ”

The little brother suddenly nodded, called the management, and explained the situation.

SKT management is worried about how to deal with it, and a group of people are happy to hear this news.

"Coaches, they want you to take Faker for a break if you have time, and SKT will reimburse all the expenses."

"And this kind of good thing?"

Xu Ruoguang is happy, is it a white prostitute?

There is also a gap between clubs, RNG can get player contracts, while SKT can only obediently pop rice.

Win!

It hasn't been here for a few years, and the plum blossoms of SKT are blooming again.

The interior layout of the club is completely different from the previous one, and it is clear that it has undergone several expansions.

The little brother took Xu Ruoguang to SKT's dormitory, pointed to an ordinary room and whispered.

"Faker should be in there now, he hasn't come out since yesterday's break, and the coach thinks they may have been influenced by the public opinion on the Internet, please, Emporer."

As he spoke, he sighed as well.

"Actually, the Faker players have worked very hard, but there are so many things that need to be done in SKT's mid-laner right now."

"It's said on the Internet that SKT's problem can be solved by changing the mid laner, and that Faker's retirement is the only way not to drag down his teammates, but I don't think so."

The more people who know SKT, the more aware of how important Faker really is to SKT.

It's not so much that Faker dragged down SKT, but it was Faker who didn't expose many of SKT's problems.

As a star player on the field, he is always observed with a magnifying glass.

No matter how perfect a player is, it's easy to be harsh.

At least as SKT's current youth coach, the little brother knows very well how difficult it is to play SKT's midlaner.

Xu Ruoguang didn't say anything, and nodded silently.

He never felt that Faker was that drag, even if it was S5, which was the most difficult to deal with Faker, he worked with Faker to win the first championship in the World Championship.

Retracting his gaze at the back of the little brother's departure, Xu Ruoguang gently pushed the door open.

With the help of the afterglow of the corridor, Xu Ruoguang looked at the room.

Lee Sang-hyuk's bedroom is not big, and it can even be said to be very simple.

In addition to the personal honor that was properly placed next to the bed, there was only one bed, a coffee machine, and a few chairs in the whole room.

The whole bedroom is no different from ordinary people, and it can even be said that it is monotonous.

The room was dark, and there was no movement.

Xu Ruoguang fumbled to turn on the light, only to see a quilt on the bed, wrapped in something.

"Lee Sang-hyuk?"

Xu Ruoguang shouted softly.

There was no movement.

Xu Ruoguang's brows furrowed, something was not right.

Lee Sang-hyuk is a very light sleeper, which is why he is now alone in a room.

After the disbandment of S7's IP, Lee Sang-hyuk had this problem.

I always can't sleep well, and I once complained to Xu Ruoguang that I was under a lot of pressure.

Although Xu Ruoguang's voice just now was soft, it shouldn't be a problem to wake him up.

Now there is no movement.

He walked quickly to the side of the bed, probed slightly, and saw Lee Sang-hyuk wrapped in the quilt like a caterpillar.

At this time, his face was a little red and abnormal, his eyes were closed, and there was no movement.

Xu Ruoguang frowned and stretched out his hand to put it on his forehead.

It's hot.

The moment Xu Ruoguang put it down, the obviously abnormal temperature made him immediately know why there was no movement.

"I've got a cold."

Xu Ruoguang's face was a little serious.

A cold is not a serious illness, but a fever is very uncomfortable, and if it is left untreated for a long time, the brain will burn out.

Open the address book, find the phone number of kkoma, explain the current situation to him, and ask him to help inform the management of SKT.

Xu Ruoguang has no contact with SKT executives.

So it can only be done this way.

After making the call, while waiting for someone to come, Xu Ruoguang also tried to wake up Lee Sang-hyuk.

He nudged it gently, but it didn't work.

At this time, Lee Sang-hyuk was having a very strange dream.

In the dream, he quickly got along with the newcomer named Emporer, and the two won the S5 World Championship together.

And then it's all about winning all the time.

SKT Gemini has gradually become a mythical combination of the entire League of Legends.

Eun Jing is still with Xu Ruoguang, and Lee Sang-hyuk is only happy in his heart.

When he was seventy or eighty, Xu Ruoguang, who also lost all his teeth, sat in a wheelchair with him and watched the grandsons of the two compete for a new championship in a new game.

"My grandson will definitely win!"

"Fart, it must be my grandson who is more violent!"

They argued.

Outside, the corners of Lee Sang-hyuk's mouth curled.

Xu Ruoguang: It's broken, it's really burning!

His heart lifted and he patted Lee Sang-hyuk's face vigorously.

"Hello? Lee Sang-hyuk? Feed? ”

"Wake up, don't sleep! Wake up! ”

Lee Sang-hyuk opened his eyes vaguely, and at a glance he saw a familiar room.

It's a dream......

He thought wistfully.

When he woke up, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he thought of the dream he had just had.

It would be nice if he could really fight with Xu Ruoguang until he retired.

To this day, Lee Sang-hyuk still regrets that he had a conflict with Xu Ruoguang because of prejudice.

Even though I can't say it, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart.

It was a painful thing for him to miss a comrade-in-arms who worked perfectly with him.

Bang, let's go.

Wolf, too, gone.

Marin is gone, and Brother kkoma is gone.

The current SKT is no longer the SKT he is familiar with.

Only in Rank, when he met Lee Sang-hyuk of Xu Ruoguang, would he experience some happy feelings for a short time.

Lee Sang-hyuk looked at the figure in front of him in a daze, and what caught his eye was a face that he longed to see countless times.

Xu ...... Xu Ruoguang? ”

He muttered, rolled over, and prepared to go back to sleep.

"Sure enough, I didn't wake up yet."

"How could Xu Ruoguang be in my bedroom."

Xu Ruoguang was angry and funny, leaned to the other side, and patted his face again.

"Wake up! Wake up! ”

Why is this dream endless?

I know I'm fantasizing, but why are you still beating people in this dream?

My face hurts so much, Nishihachi!

Lee Sang-hyuk got up irritably.

It was at this time that reason finally returned.

He looked at Xu Ruoguang in front of him,

"Xu Ruoguang?"

"Ah, it's me, I heard that you were scolded, did you come to see you Yuyu, it's a little regretful, it's just a cold."

Xu Ruoguang nodded, a serious way.

What are you talking about, you can't expect me to order something good?

Lee Sang-hyuk was a little speechless, turning his face sideways and not wanting to look at him.

My body seems to be in a bad condition, and I feel like I can't exert myself, which is a bad feeling.

Lee Sang-hyuk frowned.

Got a cold.

He held his forehead and looked a little pained.

Head, so dizzy.

SKT staff came quickly and stood at the door without coming in.

"Faker, if you have a cold, come with us to the infirmary, and we'll accompany you."

"Okay, I'm in trouble."

Lee Sang-hyuk thanked him in a whisper, got up, and put on his pants.

He wore an autumn coat, but he was not afraid to go naked.

The main thing is that there is only one man in this room, Xu Ruoguang, and everyone is a man, and Lee Sang-hyuk is not afraid of his own losses.

was watched and watched, and next time I directly said to Xu Ruoguang, "Look at yours".

It's kind of exciting to think about.

Putting on a down jacket that he hadn't changed in 18 years, Lee Sang-hyuk took a step and was just about to speak, but suddenly felt a whirlwind of the sky.

Just when he thought he was going to squat hard on the ground, a pair of strong arms supported him.

Lee Sang-hyuk turned his head without the slightest surprise.

It's Xu Ruoguang.

At this time, Xu Ruoguang no longer had the smile he had just now, his expression was serious, and the worry in his eyes warmed Lee Sang-hyuk's heart.

"It looks a bit serious, don't be too strong."

Xu Ruoguang opened his mouth solemnly and helped Lee Sang-hyuk out of the dormitory.

Ten minutes later, the infirmary inside the SKT base.

Lee Sang-hyuk lay on the bed obediently and looked at the doctor with blank eyes.

"How's it going?"

Xu Ruoguang waited for the doctor to put the thin tube of the infusion before asking.

"The Faker player is really dangerous, the fever is a bit serious this time, fortunately it was found in time, otherwise it is estimated that I would have to go to Seoul No. 1 Hospital now."

The doctor looked serious.

"And ...... now?"

"The situation is much better now, rest more after the infusion, pay attention to controlling your diet, pay attention to keeping warm, and it should be no problem to rest for a few days."

"Okay, excuse me."

Xu Ruoguang let out a breath.

OK.

Don't underestimate a cold and fever, this kind of minor illness can sometimes be eaten.

Xu Ruoguang sat on the side of Li Xianghyuk's bed, looked at his still red and somewhat abnormal face, and asked.

"Are you feeling better?"

Lee Sang-hyuk, who was sick, was no longer as calm as usual, and immediately complained when he heard this.

"I only lost for two minutes, what medicine can have this effect?"

"It's not that you can have a better attitude."

Xu Ruoguang was not happy.

"Dude came all the way to help you to the infirmary, don't you thank me for this?"

"Thank you, okay?"

"Forget it."

Xu Ruoguang didn't bother to be angry with a burning person, and asked directly.

"How are you feeling now? Is it uncomfortable to be scolded? ”

"Mood?"

"yes, the trucks are still parked in front of your SKT gate."

“……”

Lee Sang-hyuk was a little silent, but shook his head slowly.

"It's okay, I don't think it's anything."

He said softly, "It's not good, it's normal to be scolded, and I want to scold myself." ”

Xu Ruoguang shrugged, "Your teammates may not play well, many problems have been covered up by you." ”

"Don't think too badly about yourself, you really can't beat it."

"It's the first time I've heard you comfort."

Lee Sang-hyuk was a little surprised and showed a somewhat weak smile.

"It's not the first time, is it? When S5 was finished before, I remember you crying and telling me that Enjing didn't like you, and I comforted you. ”

Xu Ruoguang touched his chin and said.

"And then you're with her."

Lee Sang-hyuk said coldly.

Xu Ruoguang: Ah, this.

"Don't be embarrassed, we didn't know each other very well at the time."

He shook his head.

Lee Sang-hyuk said this......

I don't know, I still think that Xu Ruoguang is a yellow-haired minotaur, he loves the god of war with iron and purity.

Old pure love.

And strictly speaking, Lee Sang-hyuk is basically unrequited love, Xu Ruoguang is not even a bull-headed person, and the woman doesn't feel it.

Lee Sang-hyuk didn't say much more on this topic, but asked about Xu Ruoguang's plans.

"Have you thought about where to go the year after tomorrow?"

"Not yet, let's talk about it then, I haven't played professionally for more than a year, and they probably don't want to invite me because of my ability."

Xu Ruoguang shook his head.

"I don't want to go to such a team."

He didn't want to be on such a team.

If it's all about traffic, such a team will make him feel that he doesn't really get enough trust.

In a word, people value his fame, not strength.

For Xu Ruoguang, he will feel that he is underestimated.

I was a little unhappy in my heart.

As a professional player at his current point, being unhappy is unhappy, and there is nothing to hide.

The honor has been stretched and cannot be fuller, and there is nothing missing.

It must be the most important thing to have fun playing by yourself.

"Don't be too inflated, maybe no one will want the food by then. It's the same with me. ”

Lee Sang-hyuk snorted.

"If no one really wants it, come to SKT, anyway, my buddy Lee Sang-hyuk is a team bully in SKT, and everyone outside says so."

Xu Ruoguang smiled and joked,

"It should be quite easy to arrange an order, right?"

"Hey, Sang-hyuk, are you happy when I come to SKT?"

Lee Sang-hyuk didn't look into his eyes and smiled disdainfully.

"Who is rare? Do you love to come! ”

"It's like I can't win the championship without you, and I'll win the championship first when you rest this year, wait for you."

Xu Ruoguang smiled but did not speak,

"Sang-hyuk, will I tell you a joke?"

"Huh?"

"Thanos felt that he was invincible in the world, until he came to South Korea, and with a snap of his fingers, the whole of Korea was destroyed, but at this time there was still a mouth left, shouting in his mouth, Thanos was here?"

"Guess whose mouth is this?"

Lee Sang-hyuk sneered, "You are really my good brother, I am so sick, you still have to tell jokes about me!" ”

"What if it weren't?"

Xu Ruoguang bears spread his hands,

"Could it be that I will cry for you?"

"Forget it, you don't have to."

Lee Sang-hyuk glanced at the water dispenser next to the door, a little thirsty.

"Xu Ruoguang."

“？”

"Bring me a glass of water."

"You are?"

"I'm your father, hurry up, I'm going to die of thirst, if I die, you're sand kernel rice!"

"Hehe, I'll bring it to you when I call my father."

That being said, Xu Ruoguang still got up neatly and helped him bring him a glass of water.

After all, it's a sick number, so take pity on him.

Xu Ruoguang thought so.

Lee Sang-hyuk picked up the water cup and took a sip.

The temperature is just right.

Xu Ruoguang took more than half of the hot one, and then took a small half of the cold one, and shook it slightly, just controlling the temperature to a warm degree.

Lee Sang-hyuk sighed in his heart.

He's always been so attentive.

The room was quiet for a while, except for the sound of him drinking water.

After a while, Lee Sang-hyuk spoke calmly.

"To be honest, we don't think we have much of a chance next year."

"The current SKT, the current me, is too weak."

Weak.

This is Lee Sang-hyuk's evaluation of himself now.

Although he was still talking about this year's championship just now, Lee Sang-hyuk knows very well that with the current strength of SKT, it is ......

Reaching the semi-finals is considered a success.

Even going to Worlds wasn't that consistent.

He squeezed the hand of the water cup a little harder, and calmly made a cruel evaluation of himself.

"I may not have a long career left, maybe after next year, the year after that, the year after that. It should have to be retired. ”

"I'm very dissatisfied with my current self, and this kind of me really makes me a little desperate."

"I've already figured out how to operate, I've already known how to respond, I've seen the opening of the group on the other side, but ......"

He paused, letting out a breath.

"However, I still can't play the operation I want to play."

"Perhaps, S5's invincible Lee Sang-hyuk is really dead."

"All that's left is a mediocre mid-laner named Faker."

"I'm too old to do it anymore."

For an arrogant professional like Lee Sang-hyuk, sometimes it's cruel not to scold him.

Because when Lee Sang-hyuk put down the food but no one scolded him, it means that it is normal for him to have problems, and everyone is too lazy to scold, and it has been abolished.

Only when the old players still have a little bit of the past will people be disappointed or abuse the players, because they have seen the good performances of the players.

It's like when I was in school.

You originally had average grades and hoped for the next two books, but the teacher in charge at this time had the strictest requirements for you.

If your grades are so bad that you don't care about you at all, you can go to any vocational high school.

It's as simple as that.

When did Lee Sang-hyuk send a few handfuls and no one scolded him. It shows that he has numbed the audience.

The current Lee Sang-hyuk is playing very crotch-pulling, but is it really the penultimate mid-laner in the LCK?

No.

It's just that compared with Lee Sang-hyuk, who was invincible in the world and fought all over the world in the past, the current Lee Sang-hyuk has declined too much.

Compared with his peak, the current Lee Sang-hyuk is completely unqualified.

Compared with other LCK mid-laners, it is actually still in the middle and upper reaches.

Xu Ruoguang was a little silent.

His true felt the unwillingness and stinging in Lee Sang-hyuk's heart.

When a once arrogant genius player says that he is old, it means that he has been beaten by reality and has lost the confidence he once had.

At this time, Lee Sang-hyuk is probably the most vulnerable time in these years.

Xu Ruoguang's senses for Lee Sang-hyuk are more complicated.

But in general, he also regards Lee Sang-hyuk as a good friend.

Seeing him like this, I felt a little uncomfortable.

But time is so fair.

Lee Sang-hyuk has been fighting for too long, and it's normal for him to become a dish.

The most terrifying thing is that after this kind of change, it is likely that it will never return to the peak.

As time goes by, it will only get more and more dish, and it will be difficult to maintain the level.

"Wait for me for a year."

Lee Sang-hyuk's ears suddenly sounded like this.

He suddenly raised his head and saw Xu Ruoguang's bright smile.

"On S5, I took a ride called Peak Lee Sang-hyuk and won the championship."

"Next year, even if you cook again, you will be the strongest mid-list in my heart."

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the championship."

The words are very short.

Lee Sang-hyuk wanted to cry a little.
