"Of course, Mom, the sweet and sour pork ribs you make are the best in the world." Xu Mo responded with a smile, his eyes full of longing and determination for the future.

At the same time, the EDG team is also in full swing preparing for the next crucial match. The team members are well aware of Xu Mo's importance to the team, and they will also care about Xu Mo's mother's condition through video calls after training, and convey the team's cohesion and fighting spirit to him.

That night, Xu Mo had an online communication with his teammates in the ward. "Brothers, I know that you are all doing your best, and I also feel the support and encouragement of everyone." Xu Mo looked at the camera, his eyes were firm, "The doctor said that my mother will be able to go home soon to recuperate, and I am about to return to the arena." ”

Ah Shui was the first to respond: "Captain, we are all waiting for you to come back!" We have helped you defend your position, but I still hope that you can return to the team as soon as possible, after all, without you, I always feel that there is a lack of security on the field. ”

The factory director nodded and said, "Xiaomo, how are things handled at home?" As long as you're ready and ready to come back, our doors at EDG are always open for you. ”

Baolan took over the conversation: "Captain, when you are BP on the sidelines, we feel that you are by your side, but we prefer that you will play in person and kick our glory with a blind monk." ”

Sister Tazi smiled and said, "Auntie's body is gradually recovering, and we are happy for you." Remember to take care of yourself and celebrate the victory together when you come back. ”

Listening to the heated discussion of his teammates, Xu Mo's heart swelled with a warm current: "Thank you, I will deal with the affairs at home as soon as possible, and then return in the best condition." Please keep up the hard work, we'll see you on the field. ”

Hanging up the phone, Xu Mo sat on the edge of the hospital bed, held his mother's hand, and said softly: "Mom, my teammates are very good, they support me like family." When you're fully recovered, I'm going to take this strength back to the ring and make our dreams come true. ”

His mother looked at him kindly and nodded with satisfaction: "Xiaomo, you are the pride of your mother, no matter where you are, you must remember that home is your eternal harbor and your strongest backing." ”

As night fell, Xu Mo stared at the starry sky outside the window, and his heart had already drawn pictures of future battles. He knows that there are accolades on the field waiting for him to fight for, and there are also family responsibilities that he needs to bear. And in all these challenges, he will move forward with a more tenacious attitude, so that those who care about him can see that the familiar blind monk hero will finally set foot on the battlefield again and set his foot in the world.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Mo accompanied his mother to complete the discharge procedures and embarked on the way home. At this time, in the EDG base, the team members are ready to meet new challenges. They firmly believe that in the near future, their captain Xu Mo will return with a stronger attitude and write their own e-sports legend together.

Her mother was successfully discharged from the hospital, and Xu Mo took her back to her hometown to recuperate. The environment of the hometown is quiet and comfortable, which helps the mother to recover better. However, the peaceful life did not last long, and some relatives came to visit Xu Mo after learning of the success of his e-sports career and his good income.

In the afternoon of that day, a distant relative who had not seen him for a long time suddenly visited, and after greeting a few words with a smile on his face, he went straight to the topic: "Xiaomo, I heard that you are now a big star in the e-sports circle, and you earn a lot of money." You see, your cousin and I have recently encountered some difficulties, and we need working capital in our business, can you lend me some money for emergencies? ”

Xu Mo frowned slightly, he knew that this cousin did not really care about his mother's physical condition, but took a fancy to his "money bag". He didn't respond immediately, but turned to his mother and asked, "Mom, do you remember this cousin?" ”

The mother nodded slightly, although her body had not fully recovered, her eyes were still clear: "I remember, he is your third uncle's child, but our family hasn't moved much over the years." ”

After receiving his mother's answer, Xu Mo turned his head to look at his cousin, with a polite and firm smile on his face: "Uncle cousin, I can understand your feelings when you encounter difficulties. But I have a principle, that is, borrowing must have a clear repayment plan and purpose, after all, this is my hard-earned money, and every penny must be used wisely. ”

When my cousin heard this, his face changed slightly, but he still tried to play the emotional card: "Oh, we are all our own family, and you still care about these things with me?" Don't worry, when my business improves, I will definitely return it to you with interest. ”

Xu Mo's tone was resolute: "Uncle Cousin, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I also have my own difficulties." My mother is currently in need of long-term rehabilitation, and the esports industry is highly competitive, so I have a lot of money to use in the future. If you are in a hurry, it is recommended that you make a detailed repayment plan and seek help from the bank or other formal means. ”

When the words fell, my cousin's face became even more embarrassed, and he could only leave in the end. This incident made Xu Mo realize that success will also lead to all kinds of unexpected problems, but he has always remained sober and rational to protect his family and hard-won achievements.

In the evening, Xu Mo told his teammates about the matter through a video call, and everyone expressed their understanding and support, and Ah Shui even joked: "Captain, you are really clever in convincing people with reason, next time whoever borrows money, let them come to me directly, I will tell them your story, and keep them in trouble." ”

The factory director also smiled and echoed: "Xiaomo, you did the right thing." Everyone has their own responsibilities and burdens, and we can't easily compromise because of the difficulties of others. Remember, our brothers at EDG are on your side whenever and wherever you are. ”

Listening to the support of his teammates, Xu Mo felt warm in his heart and said gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding and support, I will deal with the affairs at home as soon as possible, and then devote myself to the game." See you at the field! ”

In the dead of night, Xu Mo sat in the courtyard of his hometown, looking up at the starry sky, and his heart was full of emotion. He knows that there are challenges on the field and the trivialities of life, but he is ready to face it all with a more mature mindset.

"Mom, no matter what, I will protect this family, and at the same time, I will fight for our honor." Xu Mo promised softly in the direction of his mother's room.

A new day is coming, Xu Mo's story continues, and on the road of family, responsibility and dreams, he will write his own legendary chapter with a more tenacious attitude. And in the hearts of those who care about him, the figure of the blind monk and hero has always been active on the battlefield, and he has never been far away......

A week later, his mother's physical condition was improving, and Xu Mo began to prepare for his return to the team. However, at this moment, his parents made a request that he did not expect.

"Xiaomo, you see that your mother is much better now, and we take care of her at home, so don't rush back." My father said as he flipped through the newspaper with a meaningful smile on his face.

The mother nodded on the side and agreed: "Yes, Xiaomo, you are not too young, and you are usually busy with the game, so you don't have time to think about personal problems." I discussed it with your dad and arranged a blind date for you. ”

When Xu Mo heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect his parents to mention this matter at this time. "Mom and Dad, I really don't have the heart to do this now, the team is still waiting for me to go back."

"Oh, it doesn't take much time for you, just meet and make more friends." The mother patted his hands, her eyes full of concern for her son's life.

Looking at the expectant eyes of his parents, Xu Mo knew that he couldn't refuse directly, so he could only nod helplessly: "Okay, since you all said so, I'll go and meet." ”

On the day of the blind date, Xu Mo came to the café as agreed, and saw that the other party was a gentle and elegant girl with outstanding temperament, named Lin Yue. Although the conversation between the two was short, the atmosphere was harmonious, and Lin Yue expressed great interest and understanding in Xu Mo's profession, which made him secretly surprised in his heart.

When he returned home in the evening, Xu Mo told his teammates about it, and everyone couldn't help but ridicule after hearing it.

"Captain, it's okay now, there will be someone outside the game who can cheer you on in the future." Ah Shui quipped.

The factory director said earnestly: "Xiaomo, emotional things can't be forced, but they can't be easily missed." If you think it's appropriate, try to get along. ”

Baolan also interjected on the side: "Yes, after all, the pace of life of our e-sports players is different from that of ordinary people, and it is important to have someone who understands and supports us." ”

Sister Tazi smiled and nodded: "However, no matter what, we will support your decision, take care of the affairs at home, and then go all out to chase your dreams." ”

Listening to the advice of his teammates, Xu Mo fell into deep thought. He knows that his life does need to find more balance, and Lin Yue's appearance may be a new beginning.

"Thank you, I'll think about it." Xu Mo responded, "However, the most important thing now is to return to the arena first, and when I achieve more results in the arena, it is not too late to talk about other things." ”

When night fell, Xu Mo stood in the courtyard of his hometown, looking up at the starry sky, and the determination in his heart was even stronger. He knows that whether it is family, love or career, he needs to manage it with his heart in order to live up to himself and others.

"Mom, Dad, I promise you that you will take this blind date seriously, but please give me some time, let me play the game in front of me first." Xu Mo whispered into the night sky, as if he was assuring his parents and making a promise to himself.

After the blind date, Xu Mo thought it was just an ordinary social activity, but it didn't take long for him to learn Lin Yue's true face from the conversation with his teammates. It turned out that Lin Yue was exposed on the Internet as a woman who was keen on chasing fame and fortune and money worship, which was diametrically opposed to the gentle image she showed when she first met.

"Captain, you have to be careful of that Lin Yue, it is rumored on the Internet that she is here for your money and fame." Ah Shui said with an indignant face.

The factory director frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Xiaomo, although others don't say much about emotional matters, you really have to keep your eyes open." If that's the case, it's not a good thing to see it sooner. ”

Sapphire nodded approvingly: "Yes, captain, we support you in finding true love, but we must not be used." ”

Although Sister Tazi didn't say anything, it could be seen from her expression that she was also dissatisfied with Lin Yue's behavior, and she had a complicated look on her face, as if she was trying her best to hide something.

Facing the concern and reminders of his teammates, Xu Mo smiled faintly and responded: "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention." However, Lin Yue and I have just met, and everything can't be prematurely decided. And, I believe time will tell. ”

At night, Xu Mo sat alone on the gaming chair, thinking about the things of the day. He understands that as a public figure, his every move will be magnified and interpreted. But he is unwilling to make a conclusion about a person based on just a few words on the Internet, especially for Lin Yue, he feels that it is necessary to understand and judge it himself.

A few days later, Xu Mo decided to take the initiative to contact Lin Yue and ask her to meet her in a quiet bookstore. When Lin Yue arrived as promised, she was obviously a little surprised when she saw Xu Mo looking down to read a book about the e-sports industry.

"Xu Mo, I didn't expect that in this corner of the busy city, you would wait for me quietly here." Lin Yue's voice was soft with a hint of surprise, she slowly walked to the seat opposite Xu Mo and sat down, the sound of small footsteps was particularly clear in the quiet space.

Xu Mo's gaze lifted from the coffee cup in his hand, and his deep eyes stared at Lin Yue, his eyes were clear and sincere: "Lin Yue, I think we really need to sit down and have a good talk." How do you feel about the recent comments circulating online? ”

When Lin Yue heard this, she was slightly stunned at first, as if she had touched a sensitive nerve, but she quickly adjusted and showed a relieved smile, like the warm spring sun melting winter snow: "Xu Mo, I understand what you mean." Everyone's life is a complicated script, and I am no exception. I used to pursue the beauty and splendor of material life, but after experiencing some things, I realized the true value of life. That conversation with you was like a key that opened the door for me to re-examine my own outlook on life. ”

Xu Mo listened intently, a deep thought flashing between his eyebrows. He appreciated Lin Yue's courage to face the past and self-analysis, and knew that the process of growth was a constant trial and error and awakening. He responded gently, "I respect your choice now and the changes you have made. In this case, we can start with friends, use time to understand each other's true faces, and let each other's lives slowly intertwine. ”

After Lin Yue heard this, her eyes flashed with determination and expectation, and she nodded in agreement: "Thank you, Xu Mo, this understanding and acceptance are extremely precious to me. I will prove that I have transformed with practical actions. ”

After this in-depth conversation, Xu Mo did not immediately inform his teammates about the incident, but chose to silently observe and contact Lin Yue in his own way, and at the same time, he also devoted himself more fully to the intense and intense training to prepare for the upcoming key game.
