Accompanied Chen Cheng to stay late in the Internet café before persuading Chen Cheng to go home to sleep.

After seeing Chen Cheng get into a taxi and go home.

Sun Yifan walked home alone, but it was difficult to calm down.

Unconsciously thinking about Chen Cheng, thinking about a few big boys in the team.

In the eyes of others, the five big boys are like a group of delinquent teenagers who do not do their jobs.

Addicted to online games, evading the failure of exams, and paralyzing yourself with games.

It's like the view in the eyes of Xiao Yiyi's father.

In most people's minds, esports is nothing more than an impractical thing.

You will feel that the competition of e-sports is an excuse to play bad teenagers.

The boys worked hard but couldn't get any recognition.

This only deepens a fear of society among the boys.

In turn, it will make them feel insecure.

They maintain that haughty attitude in the game.

Use games to numb yourself and hide the fear and insecurity in your heart.

Working alone and silently, hoping to be able to do the best and show the best side to others.

But even then, it often doesn't win acceptance.

It's hard to even get that cheer from the mainstream public.

But in reality, the boys may not necessarily want to get that much applause.

It's like Chen Cheng, he just wants to get the attention of his parents.

It can make parents look at him for a moment when they are busy.

Chen Cheng never said these words, and what came out of his words was that he didn't care anymore.

But Sun Yifan could see that Chen Cheng actually cared a lot.

Maybe Chen Cheng now would rather go home every day and see his parents arguing at home.

I don't want to go back and face the deserted house alone.

After chatting with Chen Cheng, Sun Yifan felt that the burden on his shoulders was a little heavier.

Now in addition to his cousin's problems, there are some more problems with Chen Cheng.

Sun Yifan didn't want the boys to win the game, but as a result, he became more lonely and indifferent.

Sun Yifan hopes that he can take the boys and achieve good results at the same time.

It can also help the boys fulfill the aspirations and wishes in each of their hearts.

When I got home, it was late.

Sun Yifan carefully opened the door with the key.

Then he pinched his feet and touched the darkness and entered the house.

Close and lock the door as softly as possible.

Sun Yifan walked slowly towards his room with light hands and feet.

As soon as he took two steps, he suddenly heard his father's voice: "Why did you come back so late?" ”

Sun Yifan was startled at first, and then saw his father walking out of the bedroom with a flashlight.

Unexpectedly, it still alarmed his father, Sun Yifan whispered: "Dad, I'm sorry, it's a little late." ”

The father shone a flashlight on Sun Yifan's bedroom door and motioned for Sun Yifan to enter the house with him.

Sun Yifan understood and went into his bedroom with his father.

Turning on the light and closing the bedroom door, Sun Yifan looked at his father and asked, "Dad, what's the matter with you?" ”

My father sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "You've been preparing for that game with Yangyang and them all the time, aren't you?" ”

Sun Yifan nodded and said, "Yes, the competition in the city will start in a few days." ”

The father fell silent when he heard this, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment of silence, his father spoke: "Yifan, do you really think that it is the right choice for Yangyang to engage in any team and what competition they are going to participate in?" ”

Sun Yifan didn't expect his father to ask him like this.

After being stunned for a moment, Sun Yifan said, "Dad, I think they should be given a chance." ”

The father's expression was a little serious: "What kind of opportunity?" Going to the game? ”

Sun Yifan nodded: "Yes, there's nothing wrong with letting them try it." ”

The father said, "But you should know that it is not the right way in the eyes of the world." ”

Hearing his father say this, Sun Yifan's expression was also a little gloomy.

In fact, he knew that his father was telling the truth.

In the eyes of the public, Sun Yifan with five big boys is actually taking a "crooked path".

The father said, "Have you ever thought that they will be recognized by the public in the future?" ”

"Even if you win the game, you make it to the province, you make it to the whole country, what happens after that?"

Sun Yifan didn't know how to answer his father.

The father continued: "I know what kind of esports professionalism is going now. ”

After a pause, my father asked, "But can you really fight for the rest of your life?" ”

After a moment of silence, Sun Yifan finally spoke: "Dad, I know all this. ”

"I also understand that even if they become professionals, it is still difficult for them to gain public recognition."

"But I think they should be given a chance to experience a different life."

"Youth is not just about going to school and taking exams, youth should not only go to college."

"Youth should be more exciting, and there should be no regrets, so that they will regret it in the future."

When my father heard this, he said, "I know that you have been to this kind of competition before. ”

"At the beginning, he and Zhang Wuyi and Yue Qingsong were the two of them."

"The three of you, secretly ran to participate in the competition with adults on your back, and ended up in the world competition."

Sun Yifan didn't expect that his father would suddenly mention this matter.

Sun Yifan, Zhang Wuyi and Yue Qingsong said that almost no one told their families about this incident back then.

They just quietly formed a team, and then used the little money they usually saved to run to the tryouts.

It's just that the three teenagers didn't expect that they would successfully enter the world championship.

My father said calmly, "When you entered the World Championships, you needed to go home and apply for your passport. ”

"You know what? I've been waiting for you to tell me. ”

"I told your mother that as long as you open your mouth, I will let you go, and I will come forward to persuade Zhang Wuyi and Yue Qingsong's family to let the three of you go to the world competition."

Speaking of this, my father looked a little disappointed.

Shaking his head and sighing, he said, "But I didn't expect that you would choose to give up in the end." ”

Once, in the old king's game room.

Sun Yifan, Zhang Wuyi and Yue Qingsong thought hard and struggled for a long time.

In the end, Zhang Wuyi said: "In this way, let's throw a coin, if it's a word, let's go home and say it together, if it's a flower, then no one is allowed to say it, just as if it never happened, just as if it was a dream, and we forget it when we get out of the game room." ”

It was the decision that the three older boys, after struggling for a long time, finally made.

As a result, fate was so cruel, they threw it three times, and all three times it was a flower.

The three big boys hugged their heads and cried in the arcade room of the old king.

The moment they walk out of the arcade room, the three older boys give up on their youthful dreams that are close at hand.

When I think back to that scene, it's like it happened yesterday.

Sun Yifan had already begun to have tears rolling in his eyes.

He didn't even hear his father's words clearly.

When he came to his senses, Sun Yifan heard his father say, "I hope this time, you will not give up." ”

Sun Yifan raised his head and looked at his father in surprise.

My father said with great certainty: "What about the disapproval of the world? Youth is to dare to fight, dare to break the routine, dare to challenge the world, don't be afraid, run forward bravely. ”
