Time is like water, and the white horse passes through the gap.

Xu Cheng's appearance was like a flash in the pan, dazzling and stunning the world.

At the end of the curtain, it was like a quiet lake, without waves, only a small circle of ripples-

Everyone's eyes have been on the top teams in this year's new state with the warm-up of the spring competition.

After the epic darkest moment of S6, LPL has regained its strength this year and sharpened its knives.

The 2017 LPL Spring Tournament has finally officially begun.

This year's spring race is the era of WE.

After five long years, WE2.0, a group of young men in red, finally led the ancient giant WE to glory again.

In addition to WE, the all-Chinese class RNG, which spent a lot of money to reintroduce puppies in the new season, also has an extremely strong performance momentum, and the Spring Tiger Emperor lives up to its name.

On the contrary, since its establishment, EDG, which has dominated the domestic professional arena and dominated the LPL for two years, has shown a great Waterloo in the most important year of 17 years-

They don't seem to have come out of the shadow of the departure of the team's two big dads, Deft and Pwan, plus the team's soul director has been absent for a whole spring.

The results of the regular season are passable, but in the playoffs, they only barely won a third place.

This is the worst and most hip-pulling result since the history of EDG!

Therefore, after this result was settled, countless fans of EDG and LPL audiences had their expectations and senses of EDG to the lowest point.

In the words of a fan: "I used to ridicule you civil war insiders and foreign war laymen, but now it's okay, the civil war phantom god has been hammered even in the civil war, the real civil war is not good, and the foreign war is even worse!" ”

Coupled with S6's kick, the aura of the former LPL's No. 1 giant is not there, and the popularity, strength, and reputation of EDG's former dynasty have begun to collapse.

On the contrary, the fall of a wealthy family will inevitably have new replacements and rise.

once wanted to impress Xu Cheng with his feelings, but was ridiculed for the WE of the poor B team to win the spring championship.

The five young men in red are in high spirits and have reached the pinnacle of their careers.

Soon after, they will represent the LPL region in the biggest international event in the first half of this year, the MSI Mid-Season Championship Invitational.

But everyone didn't have much hope for this MSI -

In many strong foreign regions, especially in the eyes of the big demon king of the LCK, LPL is now like a weak child, so vulnerable that he doesn't even need to take a second look.

LPL's top order is still a joke that circulates all over the world.

And in this Korea-phobic background, the outer division is strong, the upper unit is weak, and the glory of EDG is not there, in this wonderful era, the old and the new are changing.

In a small city in the south, in front of a steamed bun shop.

A teenager also packed his luggage, packed his bags, and said goodbye to his reluctant parents.

……

Outside the steamed bun shop.

"You don't have to send it anymore, go back quickly."

Xu Cheng dragged his suitcase, stopped when he walked to the intersection, and looked back at his parents who had been following him.

"Didn't they all go to other people's clubs to 'investigate', and I won't come back in the future, parents, go back."

"Oh, it's not a few steps, you go yours, we'll watch here, and we'll go back when you get in the car."

Mother Xu smiled and spoke, but the expression on her face was full of worry and reluctance.

"You go yours, leave us alone."

Father Xu said very little, in the past six months, Xu Cheng has been busy with the matter of trying to escort him, and the father and son have hardly said a few words.

“…… All right. ”

Xu Cheng was a little helpless, and there was some warmth in his heart.

"The club said the car had arrived, so I... Gone? ”

"Let's go, let's go."

"Remember, you have to take a break when you're outside, and... Recently, the weather has been different day by day, my mother put autumn pants in your bag, wear them when it's cold, don't be the same as before, feel ashamed, embarrassed..."

"By the way, you should also pay attention to the aspect of eating, I heard your aunt Wang next door say that now those fritters and stir-fried vegetables outside are all gutter oil... You can't eat indiscriminately. ”

Father Xu frowned tightly, and said bluntly: "When you go outside, you must learn to be smarter, have a good relationship with other people's management, don't offend people, and don't be petty at every turn, no one is used to you when you are outside." ”

"If something happens, call us, don't mess around by yourself..."

"Okay, okay, I've said these words eight hundred times in this time, and I can memorize them."

Xu Cheng waved his hand with a smile: "I'm really leaving, don't worry, I know it." ”

"Go ahead."

Father Xu waved his hand directly.

completely ignored the mother Xu who pinched him next to him.

Xu Cheng didn't look at his parents either, carrying a backpack and a suitcase, and walked towards the corner of the intersection.

"Orange Orange, if you are uncomfortable and wronged, come back, let's continue to go to school, don't wronged yourself..."

As Xu Mu spoke, her eyes turned a little red uncontrollably.

"It's almost done, your son is going to play, not to commit a crime, why are you crying."

Xu's father was upset.

"This kid has never been so far away in his life... How can you reassure me... How old is he......"

Mother Xu didn't listen, rubbing the corners of her eyes, chattering.

"Alas......"

Father Xu sighed, and his serious face, after Xu Cheng's back, also showed a little reluctance and concern.

Obscure and subtle.

With his back to his parents, Xu Cheng waved his hand pretending to be indifferent, signaling that he heard it, no problem.

But my heart is like pressing a heavy stone—

This is the home where he has lived for more than ten years, and now he is gone.

I don't know when I will be able to come back again.

Didi!

A car horn sounded.

Xu Cheng, who had already reached the corner of the intersection, raised his head and saw a six-seater business vehicle with the huge letters "EDG" printed on the door, quietly parked on the side of the road.

A breeze blew.

The black EDG flag in the rearview mirror waved in the wind.

When the car door was opened, Ming Kai, who had not been seen in the back seat for a long time, was waving at him with a bright smile, and then stepped out of the car.

"Are you all packed? Pack up and get in the car! ”

The factory director took Xu Cheng's suitcase and asked with a smile.

"Packed up."

Xu Cheng didn't have the heart to joke with him, so he said it in a low mood.

"Hey, let's go."

The factory director pulled Xu Cheng and got into the car together.

The car door closed, and the familiar scene on the side of the road gradually disappeared, and at this moment, Xu Cheng suddenly felt a little panicked and helpless in his heart-

He was about to face strange things that he had never experienced before and had never been exposed to.

Strange environments, strange people, and strange people... The future is uncertain, and the future stage is not in sight.

Where is his future?

This choice... Is it really correct?

"Don't think about that."

The factory director has been silently looking at Xu Cheng beside him, and when he saw the other party like this, he had already experienced this, and immediately understood.

patted Xu Cheng's shoulder with a smile, and did not expose his ugly face for the first time:

"Don't worry, I can assure you that your future will be brilliant!"

"You will become famous and famous all over the world, and when you come back, you will no longer be an ordinary person......!"

“……！”

Xu Cheng was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Actually, I have always had a question I want to ask you." ”

"Oh?"

The factory director was stunned: "What's the problem?" ”

"Why me?"

Xu Cheng's eyes were clear and he looked at the factory director.

At this moment, there is no disguise and disguise, only confusion and doubt.

This is what he wanted to ask when he signed the contract half a year ago.

The factory director was stunned for a moment, then thought about it seriously, and suddenly clapped his hands-

"Probably... EDG wants to give you a stage. ”

"After all, you want to... A player like you, if you appear on the professional stage... I think everyone's expressions should be wonderful..."

"It's funny, isn't it?"

The factory director looked at Xu Cheng with a bright smile: "Xu Cheng, welcome to the outside world." ”

"This time, I'm really out of the world."
