Chapter 3 Hot Pot

"What?" Fu Xiao shook hands and shook half of them, and was stunned for a moment.

"Canyon... If you fly? "It's a little ugly, Fu Xiao sneered.

"This is Zhang Suiqi" He Yuqi pushed his glasses, and there was a sly light flashing behind the lenses.

"Guan Shan Du Ruofei" Zhang Sui broke off the disposable chopsticks and picked up a steamed dumpling, "The poem says that he is like the flying general Li Guang to get through the pass"

"And we, like the flying generals of the KPL, are going to sweep the canyon!" He Yuqi pretended to be very enthusiastic and said teasingly.

Zhang Sui didn't care about the ridicule in He Yuqi's voice, chewed the steamed dumplings and said vaguely, "Feiliu, he is worth it." Can't I salute him if I can't catch up?"

"Fly... Flow? "Mei Changsu's escort in that TV series? Fu Xiao decided not to point out the basic mistakes in Zhang Sui's poems.

"Flying Bull!" Zhang Sui swallowed the dumplings, "Don't you watch the KPL?" ”

Fu Xiao shook her head, playing games occupied her monotonous and stressful extracurricular life, she had heard of some streamers and the KPL professional league, but she didn't have much in-depth understanding, and she didn't have time to watch games and live broadcasts.

"This is the first person in the Honor of Kings professional arena!" Zhang Sui turned on his phone and rummaged through the video: "You wait! ”

Then, Fu Xiao, who originally dreamed of Mixue Bingcheng, spent half an afternoon listening to Zhang Sui gushing about her various teams in the KPL, and recommended several anchors to her.

It was already past five o'clock when he walked out of Shaxian snack, and Fu Xiao's mobile phone had two more software to watch live broadcasts, and there were more than a dozen anchors and professional players in the attention list.

The three brothers agreed with Fu Xiao to meet in the square at six and a half. But Fu Xiao didn't want to go home.

The pain caused by the results of the college entrance examination seemed to be covered up by the rising sea, and when the sea receded, it turned out that it was engraved on the stone tablet, not painted on the surface of the sand.

She lingered for a while, and finally sat down on the stone pier in the square and made a phone call.

"How's it going?" She heard her shortness of breath but said in a relaxed tone, "Pig head, call and report as soon as you say yes." I've been waiting all afternoon. ”

It's not that urgent, a small voice in my heart said. She felt faintly afraid to know that others had done better than her.

Xu Yang is the boy in her back seat, and he fights with her every day, and he is commensurate with a pig's head. His hair was shredded, but clean, probably because of the bright eyes behind it.

He always claims to be Fu Xiao's "brother", and he will bring her an extra cup when he buys milk tea. Everyone knows that they have a good relationship in the class, and they are good buddies who don't talk about anything. But Fu Xiao knew that she hadn't told him too much.

For example, she actually knows the second multiple-choice question in the three-mode physics paper, and she knows to choose C, but she just pretends not to ask for advice, so that she can find an excuse to say a few more words to him; For example, she actually liked to keep her hair short, but she told him that if she cut it short because of her studies, she would keep it long in the future; For example, she fell in love with this brand of small cup of milk tea because of the tea fragrance he bought, but in fact, she originally drank the big vat of fruit tea from the sweet storm next door; For example, Pull Hook agreed with him to continue to play games together after going to the same university, but in fact, he didn't just want to play games together...... Fu Xiao couldn't say why, maybe because of the earthy palpitations brought by the brief finger touch.

It's really useless, she thought.

The voice on the other end of the "720" phone pulled him back to reality, "Hey, Mom and Dad, they are in a hurry to contact relatives to report the good news, I don't bother to call and tell you"

"Congratulations!" Fu Xiao felt as if his mouth was moving.

"I reported it in the class group, I thought you saw it"

"I haven't watched the group this afternoon," it replied mechanically.

"What about you?"

"I... If you don't do well in the exam, you may not be able to get into A University, which is 60 points lower than estimated."

"..."The other end of the phone was silent for a second, "It's okay, there are a lot of 211 and 985 are not bad, A big is also a name, you want to study finance, there are many top schools in the country that are better than it"

But there won't be you there, Fu Xiao thought, she would rather this kind of high emotional intelligence comfort words not come out of his mouth, did he forget the hook he pulled with her?

"Well, it's okay, you're busy, I'm going to eat" Fu Xiao's brain snatched back control from his mouth, and hung up the phone after saying goodbye. For the first time, she felt that her throat was so dry, as if someone had re-chiseled the marks on the stele with an awl.

She opened the class group and saw that her classmates were reporting their results to each other, some of them did well and some of them did poorly. Looking at those cartoon crying and laughing expressions, I felt as if my pain was not completely untouchable, and my heart was strangely more comfortable.

She forced herself to join the discussion, to pay attention to the emotions of others, and finally replied to a few good friends and felt much better.

In the blink of an eye, it was half past six, and there were more people in the square. The days are very long in summer, the sun does not set so early, but the neon lights are on early, the vendors who come out to set up stalls, children in roller skates, aunts dancing in the square, couples with candy men, and the audition stands that have been set up in the distance, it is not lively for a while.

It turns out that not everyone in the world is out of the college entrance examination today, maybe the college entrance examination score is not the first thing in the world? Fu Xiao took a deep breath and manipulated his legs, which were gradually regaining his strength, to walk towards the audition table.

——————————————————————————————————

"Boss, are you going to eat hot pot tonight?" A fat, sleepy-eyed, round-faced boy poked at the door of the apartment, blocking the boss's way in.

The young man with glasses completely lost the arrogance he had just had in his father's office, and looked at his team members with a smile.

"You kid, eat all day long, and just wake up and say eat."

"I'll just say, look at this pig, eat, sleep, sleep, eat" The boy behind him is completely the opposite-he looks thin and tall, as if a bamboo pole has become a fine.

"I just finished the list this morning! 140 Rank Jungler! The round-faced boy protested, "Have you ever seen Shangning at eight o'clock in the morning!" ”

"I really haven't seen that." The young man known as the boss rubbed his head and said, "We usually don't care about eight o'clock in the morning and early morning. ”

A few young men started to wash up, and the non-standard game life made their schedules chaotic. Li Xiwen took off his glasses and wiped them, looking at them with vague myopic eyes, and he also had a trace of hesitation.

Although he and his father are very confident that they will "stick to the dream of e-sports", he also understands that such a day of all-nighters, day and night, and days when he may not be able to manage his full meal, how can it be regarded as "e-sports"?

At best, a bunch of... It's just a game.

In the blink of an eye, everyone cleaned up, and several people sat in the largest private room of the hot pot restaurant downstairs.

"The boss is magnificent today" The thin monkey is called Wang Bintao, who plays a mid-laner in the team, and his mouth is really neat.

"We've eaten more luxurious before! I think back then, when we played in the KPL..."The round-faced boy was immediately interested.

The boy next to him immediately slapped him on the shoulder, shook his head and motioned him to stop talking.

"It's nothing" Li Xiwen snorted, "You let him say, you let him say"

"Let's see if Lin Yuhang's championship can blow for a lifetime?"

"Can't" Lin Yuhang stopped with amusement, and changed the topic on a whim, "Qin Han, why didn't your girlfriend come today, isn't it a weekend today?" ”

The handsome face of the boy who interrupted Lin Yuhang just now sank, and he suddenly regretted slapping this buddy.

"There was a quarrel." He said briefly.

Silence for three seconds.

"Which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned, this level depends on you," the thin monkey concluded awkwardly and funny.

"What's the matter," Li Xiwen asked, "let the boss enlighten you?" ”

Qin Han shook his head, he had always spoken very little.

Okay.

Li Xiwen sighed secretly in his heart.

You can guess without saying it. If you do this, you don't have time to spend with your family, you don't have time to spend with your girlfriend, it's a common thing, and it's okay for people to complain a little. Not to mention that it is still ... There is no money.

When the hot pot was served, he looked at the steaming red oil pot, and his heart did not warm up a little.

"Actually, it's right not to be enlightened by the boss," Lin Yuhang excitedly put the mutton into the pot, and said thoughtlessly, "If he opens his mind, will he still be a mother for 30 years?" ”

"Hahahahahaha Only Li Xiwen angrily thought about why the hot pot was not good, and he had to quickly plug this person's mouth.

Lin Yuhang's favorite meat was cooked, and he ordered Qin Han's tofu skin, the mushrooms that the thin monkey loves to eat, and the newcomers Lu Wuxiao and the assistant Lu He were all very shy, never saying what they wanted to eat, and they seemed to talk less than the handsome cold-faced guy Qin Han, but Li Xiwen was sure that they would be children who could let go when they got acquainted with everyone in the future. After a few rounds of eating, everyone gradually got full and began to eat the last dish, and Li Xiwen suddenly hoped that it was himself who could be gagged.

"If you have anything else you want to eat, you should order a little more, you're welcome." He felt something choke in his throat. "Maybe there won't be this pomp and circumstance in the future."

Although the tone was relaxed, everyone's movements slowed down significantly.

"What do you mean?" It was actually Qin Han who was the first to speak. There was no panic in the tone, very calm.

"Well, our finances may be a little tight."

"Since the beginning of this year, our savings have almost bottomed out. Someone doesn't want me to keep doing this. ”

Seeing everyone's astonishment, Li Xiwen hurriedly added, "But the daily expenses can still be adhered to, just to be a little tighter... Maybe the wages won't necessarily be on time..."

There was silence for a while.

"It's normal" Lu He said suddenly, he was just 18 years old when he first arrived, and he was a player poached by Li Xiwen from the national service Luban master list, and his combat power was thousands of miles higher than the second place fault. "Although... I've only been here for a few days... But I also know that we are making money by taking bonuses on our own, and now that we haven't taken the bonuses, of course there is no money. ”

Everyone looked at each other. This kid is too young, so many people want to win the championship, why are you? Is it true that those who have never won the championship will starve to death?

"I don't care," Lin Yuhang replied, "I just want to fight back to the KPL at every opportunity, boss, I'm the same as you." ”

"If you had the ability to fight back, would you play the national tournament here?" The skinny monkey narrowed his eyes. "It's just a player who doesn't even want it in the second league."

"You!" Qin Han and Lu He, one left and one right, hurriedly jumped up and hugged Lin Yuhang, his figure was very tall, and it was no joke to give the thin monkey a blow.

"If you have the ability to fight back, will you be here with me - " Skinny Monkey's face flushed "" with me - with my third-rate jungler team who also didn't play in the KPL and was squeezed into the middle by you? The more the thin monkey talked, the more he talked, but it was obvious that the target of the attack was no longer Lin Yuhang.

"And what are you doing here?" Lin Yuhang shouted, "Go back to your hometown!" Come to rub Lao Li's hot pot! ”

"Enough!" Li Xiwen expected some unhappiness, but he didn't expect things to develop in this direction. Lin Yuhang sat down panting, Qin Han let go of him, and Lu He on the side was still holding his arm in fear.

"I have a question," Wu Xiao spoke, "Boss Li...", and suddenly let him call it like this, Li Xiwen felt a lot of life.

"If the salary is not paid in full, is it not in accordance with the regulations..."

"That's the case, social security and everything will be paid...", who usually fights with the team members, feels that it is the first time that he feels so formally talking to the "employees" about the treatment issue.

......

The sky was getting dark, and I didn't know who turned on the high beams outside the window, which made Li Xiwen a little distracted.

I don't know if there is anyone in such a big city who has unrealistic dreams like him, whether a non-championship coach who was kicked out of the league can go to a championship coach, he doesn't know if there is an end to this road.
