One sunny afternoon, Su Ye plucked up the courage to invite Lin Ya on a solo date, and he proposed to go to the beach to learn to swim together, on the one hand, because the last overboard incident made him realize the importance of mastering this skill, and on the other hand, he hoped to spend more time with Lin Ya and get to know each other better.

"Lin Ya, I really want to learn to swim, I don't know if you want to teach me?" Su Ye looked at her with anticipation flashing in his eyes.

After hearing this, Lin Ya showed a bright smile: "Of course you can, Su Ye." However, I won't let you go easily, since you want to learn, you have to take it seriously. ”

The two came to the beach, and the sun shone on the sea, sparkling. Lin Ya patiently instructed Su Ye on how to adjust her breathing, paddling her arms and kicking her legs, and they frolicked and practiced in the seawater, and the sound of laughter echoed in the sea breeze.

When night falls, they light a bonfire on the beach and continue to share each other's ideals and pursuits around the jumping flames. Lin Ya talked about her desire to speak for the e-sports industry through the self-media platform although she failed to become a professional player; And Su Ye also revealed to Lin Ya the goals of the VG team in international competitions, as well as his plans and expectations for the team's future.

"Lin Ya, I am deeply encouraged by your persistence and enthusiasm, and I think the VG team should be like you, no matter what difficulties they face, they must maintain their original intention and move forward bravely." Su Ye stared at the bonfire and his tone was firm.

Lin Ya nodded lightly and responded, "That's right, Su Ye." As long as you maintain that love and determination, I believe that VG team will be able to create more brilliance on the international stage. ”

As night fell, the lights were on, and Su Ye and Lin Ya strolled through the lively streets and alleys after enjoying the delicious Japanese food, looking for local snacks. They shuttled through the bustling crowd and enjoyed this rare relaxing time.

When passing by a popular barbecue stand, the two decided to stop and taste. Just as they were savoring the food with relish, a drunken thug staggered over, his eyes swept over Su Ye and Lin Ya with contempt, obviously not used to their harmonious atmosphere.

"Yo, isn't that VG kid?" The thug sneered inarticulately, "And you still bring a girl out to show off? What kind of life do you guys know about game-playing? ”

In the face of provocation, Su Ye remained calm, he knew that he could not get angry easily at this moment, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. "We just came for dinner and didn't want to disturb anyone." He spoke calmly and tried to defuse the conflict.

However, the little gangster did not stop there, but intensified, grabbed Lin Ya's arm, and said rudely: "Sister, what is the future with this kind of guy who only knows how to play games all day long?" It's better to mix with me, and make sure you eat and drink spicy. ”

Lin Ya's face changed slightly, she quickly recovered from her shock, shook off the gangster's hand without fear, and responded coldly: "Please respect yourself, we e-sports people also have our dignity and lifestyle." You don't have the right to dictate our lives. ”

Seeing this, Su Ye knew that words could no longer make this little gangster restrain himself, he stood up, stood in front of Lin Ya, and stared at the other party with firm eyes: "I advise you to leave now, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." ”

The little gangster was shocked by the resolute momentum exuded from Su Ye's body, but he still threatened unwillingly: "Don't pretend to be a hero here, believe it or not, I asked my brothers to come over and teach you a lesson?" ”

Before the words fell, the surrounding diners cast dissatisfied glances at the thugs, and some even stood up to accuse him of rudeness. The owner of the barbecue stall also intervened at the right time to warn the thugs not to make trouble here.

Seeing that the public opinion around him was unfavorable to him, the gangsters could only leave in a huff, and did not forget to put down the cruel words in their mouths: "You remember for me, don't let me see you again!" ”

After the crisis was resolved, Su Ye looked gratefully at the passers-by who were speaking up, and then turned to Lin Ya and asked her if she was frightened with concern. Lin Ya shook her head lightly, smiling to indicate that she was fine, and was proud of Su Ye's standing up just now.

This unexpected episode did not ruin the dinner mood of the two, on the contrary, they strengthened their trust and friendship with each other. At the barbecue stall under the stars, they continued to talk about their ideals and share stories until late at night.

In the early morning of the next day, after learning of the incident, the members of the VG team expressed their appreciation and support for Su Ye, and also reminded everyone to pay attention to safety outside. And this experience also made Su Ye realize that while pursuing the dream of e-sports, it is also necessary to know how to protect the people around him, because everyone is an indispensable part of the team.

The island town at night is exceptionally quiet, Su Ye and Lin Ya stroll side by side on the lighted path, the shadows of the two are long and harmonious under the street lamp. Their topic gradually shifted from e-sports and ideals to their respective family backgrounds and upbringing.

"My parents actually didn't support me playing professional esports at first," Su Ye looked at the starry sky with a hint of emotion in his tone, "They hoped that I could choose a more stable life path, but when I won my first national championship, they saw my persistence and dedication, and slowly understood and supported my choice." ”

Lin Ya smiled slightly after hearing this, she gently stroked the hair in her ear, and told her story: "I'm quite lucky, although I didn't become a professional player, my parents have always been very open-minded. They knew my love for esports and encouraged me to get involved in the industry in other ways. Now doing self-media can be regarded as fulfilling my e-sports dream. ”

The two of them continued to walk, and the sea breeze brushed their cheeks, bringing a slight coolness. Lin Ya suddenly asked Su Ye curiously, "How old are you this year?" Is it considered a 'veteran' in the VG team? ”

Su Ye responded with a smile: "I'm only 22 years old, and there are older teammates in the team than me, but in the e-sports circle, this age really can't be regarded as a newcomer." Sometimes I feel pressured because there are so many young players, but that's what keeps me going. ”

Lin Ya nodded and expressed her understanding: "Age is indeed a delicate topic in the esports industry, but I believe that what really determines whether a person can go long is the persistence of dreams and the strength to constantly improve. ”

As the night deepened, they sat on benches by the sea, looking at the fishing fires in the distance. Lin Ya turned her head to look at Su Ye, her eyes flashing with anticipation: "What is your ideal?" Do you have any longer-term goals other than winning international competitions? ”

Su Ye thought for a moment and replied seriously: "I hope to leave my own mark on the road of e-sports, not only to achieve honors and achievements, but also to let more people see the charm of e-sports through the efforts of the VG team, so that the society has a deeper understanding and acceptance of e-sports." Of course, I also hope that one day, after retiring, I can make more contributions to the development of esports. ”

Lin Ya was deeply touched after hearing this, she held Su Ye's hand and said firmly: "I believe that you will be able to achieve these ideals, and I will always be by your side to support you and witness the VG team to a higher stage together." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, making a common wish on the moonlit shore, which also injected more motivation and confidence into the journey and challenges ahead. This ordinary and special night has become an eternal memory in their hearts, and it is also a warm and precious episode on the road of their pursuit of e-sports dreams.

In the evening, Lin Ya proposed to go to a nearby hotel to rest together, and her eyes revealed a hint of expectation. Su Ye felt Lin Ya's enthusiasm and sincerity, and after some inner struggle, he decided to respect and respond to this emotion, so he nodded and agreed to Lin Ya's invitation.

They came to a cosy and comfortable hotel by the sea, but they encountered unexpected problems when checking in. The front desk staff apologized to tell them that due to a system failure in the hotel, all rooms could not be booked and used normally tonight. This sudden turn of events caught both of them off guard.

Lin Ya looked disappointed, biting her lower lip lightly, her eyes flashing with a complicated light. "This ...... How so? She muttered to herself, clearly regretting the unexpected situation.

Seeing this, Su Ye patted her on the shoulder, showing her usual calmness and calmness: "It's okay, since it won't work today, let's take it as a little episode for us." We can go for a walk on the beach or find a 24-hour café to chat and turn the evening into another good memory. ”

After hearing this, Lin Ya reluctantly squeezed out a smile, although she still had regrets in her heart, she understood that Su Ye had a point. The two chose to sit down on a bench by the sea, looking up at the starry sky, enjoying the gentle sea breeze and listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.

"You're right, Su Ye." Lin Ya said softly, "Maybe this is the imperfection in life, but as long as we are together, any difficulties and setbacks can be turned into unique experiences." Tomorrow, everything will be fine. ”

Su Ye smiled and shook Lin Ya's hand and responded, "That's right, no matter how many challenges lie ahead, as long as we work together, there will be no hurdles that cannot be overcome." We didn't do it tonight, but at least we had the stars and the sea as our company, and we had each other's company, and it was good enough. ”

At Su Ye's suggestion, they decided to go to a nearby 24-hour café to spend this extraordinary night. Entering the café, warm yellow lights fill the space and soothing music flows through the air, creating a peaceful and comfortable environment for the two.

They sat down by the window, ordered a few hot drinks and snacks, and began to talk. From e-sports to life, from dreams to the future, the dialogue between the two is as melodious and moving as the melody that reverberates in a café.

However, just as their conversation was getting better, a burly, well-dressed young man suddenly appeared at their table. This person's name is Li Haoran, and he is one of Lin Ya's suitors, and he has a prominent family background on weekdays, and he launched a fierce offensive against Lin Ya. At this moment, when he saw Lin Ya and Su Ye getting along so closely, he couldn't help but have a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.

"Yo, isn't this Su Ye, a big star in our e-sports circle? What, you're trying to rob me of a woman? Li Haoran looked at Su Ye with a provocative face, and his words were full of hostility.

In the face of the sudden spoiler, Su Ye was not provoked, he responded calmly: "Li Haoran, Lin Ya and I are just normal exchanges between friends. Please respect our private space. ”

Lin Ya also stood up to defend Su Ye, and she said to Li Haoran coldly: "Haoran, I have clearly rejected you many times, I hope you can respect my choice and don't make trouble here." ”

However, Li Haoran was not willing to stop there, he deliberately made a mistake: "Lin Ya, you have to think clearly, follow me, you can live a life without worrying about food and clothing." And this kid who only knows how to play games, what future can he give you? ”

Faced with such doubts, Su Ye did not immediately refute, but turned his head to look at Lin Ya, and said gently but firmly: "Lin Ya, our future is created by ourselves, not defined by others. I believe that as long as we have a common dream and persistence, we will be able to go through any wind and rain hand in hand. ”

After Lin Ya heard this, she was moved in her heart, she held Su Ye's hand tightly, and looked at Li Haoran firmly: "My future does not need others to plan, let alone change my mind because of material conditions." Please find your own happiness and not dwell on me. ”

Seeing this, Li Haoran's face turned pale, but he knew that continuing to entangle at this moment would only embarrass him even more, and in the end he could only leave in a huff.

The other customers in the café witnessed this scene and gave Su Ye and Lin Ya admiring glances. After this unexpected episode, the relationship between the two seems to have become closer as a result, and the trust and understanding between them have been further deepened.

On this seemingly peaceful night, when the VG team members were enjoying a rare leisure time in the café, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the door. When Lin Ya saw someone coming, her face instantly became complicated, it was her ex-boyfriend - Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai walked into the café with a group of people, and his eyes were locked on Su Ye and Lin Ya. He walked to the table between the two, his eyes flashing with unwillingness and anger: "Lin Ya, I didn't expect you to get married so soon?" Isn't what I gave you good enough? His voice was low, but it was particularly harsh in the quiet of the café.

Su Ye felt the sudden change in the atmosphere of the scene, he quietly protected Lin Ya behind him, and looked at Zhang Kai with a calm face: "We are just a normal interaction between friends, and we have nothing to do with you." Please respect Lin Ya's choice. ”

However, Zhang Kai obviously did not intend to stop there, he sneered and glanced at the person behind him. The group of people understood, and immediately surrounded them, assuming a gesture of wanting to make a move.

Faced with this sudden situation, the other customers in the café were terrified and retreated to the side. The VG team members also sensed that something was wrong and quickly prepared to deal with it.
