"My grandfather's wish is to see me win the championship on TV. I also vowed that I must let my grandfather see this day, so I train and exercise hard every day."
"But... just when I was finally about to become a professional player, grandpa... he could no longer see..."
"When grandpa left, he was still thinking about me and kept shouting, 'My little light, have you found a place to live?' But I... I didn't even see him for the last time..."
Having said this, Ye Xiu lowered his head sadly. Even though his heart was as strong as his, his eyes were still moist at this moment.
Not letting his grandfather see the day when he won the championship, not letting his grandfather see his last face before his death, is what Ye Xiu has always felt.
Chen Guo patted Ye Xiu's shoulder and comforted him: "Didn't you lead Excellent Era to win three consecutive championships later? If grandpa is alive in heaven, he will definitely be very happy."
Ye Xiu raised his head and gave Chen Guo a forced smile. In Chen Guo's opinion, it was a smile that was uglier than crying.
"My grandpa has Alzheimer's disease and often forgets things. But there is one thing he never forgets, and that is asking me if I have found a place to live."
"Every time I called back, he would ask one last time: Xiaoguang, have you found a place to live?"
Thinking of all the memories he had with his grandfather, the smile on Ye Xiu's face became a little better.
"I still remember the first time I called my grandpa after I ran away from home..."
While Ye Xiu was telling Chen Guo, the stories between him and his grandfather, and the memory fragments that he had hidden deep in his heart, also emerged in his mind.
…Great God, Great God, Comrade Xiaoguang calls.
...The Great God has received it, The Great Demon King is out of the nest, and the call is now safe.
...Grandpa, I won first place in the competition! I also met a lot of amazing people.
...In addition, I also met a friend who has great ideas. We are going to do something big!
...When you go out, you must take care of your body. Also, Xiaoguang, have you found a place to live?
…
…
...Grandpa, do you know, my friends and I are preparing to participate in the first Glory League.
...Grandpa, do you know what the professional league means? The professional league represents us and can really turn e-sports into a profession!
...My little light is awesome! Grandpa is still waiting to see you on the TV! By the way, little light, have you found a place to live?
…
…
...Grandpa, I will take a very important assessment in a few days. If I pass the assessment, I can become a real e-sports player!
...Xiaoguang, grandpa is so happy for you! By the way, have you found a place to live?
…
…
Scenes of familiar but confusing scenes kept flashing through his mind, and a tear fell from Ye Xiu's eyes.
Although tears fell, Ye Xiu smiled. It was a happy smile from the heart.
Hearing the story told by Ye Xiu, Chen Guo was stunned: "So from then on, you wear a mask wherever you go, just because grandpa can't see it, and you don't want others to see it?"
"That's right. Grandpa's death was a big blow to me at the time, and I also had some conflicts with my family, so I just ran away a little bit and didn't want to be exposed by the media."
"Moreover, since grandpa can no longer see it, it no longer matters whether I show my face or not. The only thing I need to do, the only thing I want to do is to play the game, win the game, and keep myself at the pinnacle of glory. This way
Only then can I live up to my grandfather’s and my own expectations.”
Looking at Ye Xiu who was so close, Chen Guo said from the bottom of her heart: "With your glory, I will always be at the top."
Ye Xiu couldn't help but laugh: "You are a bit of a crazy fan. Now the throne of the number one person in Glory is no longer with me."
"In my heart, you will always be the pinnacle of glory, and no one can replace you!" Chen Guo gave Ye Xiu two thumbs up, just like when Ye Xiu first came to Xingxin Internet Cafe that day, he gave Chen Guo two thumbs up.
This shows that I am very capable of staying up late.
"Thanks."
Chen Guo's true feelings still touched Ye Xiu, but at this moment, Ye Xiu's cell phone rang.
When I opened it, I saw a call from Su Mucheng.
Ye Xiu answered the phone and started scolding: "Hey, my eldest lady, you have caused me misery."
Su Mucheng on the other end of the phone was stunned: "Ah? Then tell me, how did I hurt you?"
"What did you say to our boss? Think about it carefully and see if you still have any impressions?"
Su Mucheng laughed: "Ha! Did Guo Guo talk to you about this?"
Ye Xiu didn't want to mention this matter anymore, so he asked, "Tell me, what's the matter with calling me?"
"Isn't it time that the challenge is about to begin? I'm going to give you a gift." Su Mucheng said.
"What gift? Why don't you bring it to the Internet cafe?"
"If you don't want to go to the Internet cafe, just go to the milk tea shop we went to last time. I'll wait for you there."
"Fine."
Ye Xiu hung up the phone, and Chen Guo quickly asked, "Is it Mu Mu's call?"
Ye Xiu stood up and said, "Yes, boss, I'll excuse you now."
Chen Guo nodded: "Go ahead."
…
…
Ye Xiu went to the training room and announced that he had something to do. Everyone trained freely, and then left the Internet cafe.
Arriving at the milk tea shop Su Mucheng mentioned, Ye Xiu saw Su Mucheng sitting in front of the milk tea shop from a distance.
"If you want to give me a gift, why don't you just go to Xingxin Internet Cafe? Why are you here?" Ye Xiu opened his seat and sat across from Su Mucheng.
Su Mucheng laughed: "This is not an ordinary place, this is the old place where you took me to see Penrose Stairs and found the easter eggs."
"Really, then you also have Easter eggs to give away today?" Ye Xiu also smiled, as long as he stayed with Su Mucheng, all unhappiness and troubles could be cured.
Su Mucheng took out the gift box she bought: "Here, here you go."
Ye Xiu took the gift box, opened it, and saw a row of masks.
"That's it. This gift isn't anything new. You buy it for me every year." Ye Xiu curled his lips, "At least, this gift doesn't meet the standard of an Easter egg."
"I've already calculated it. From the first game of the Challenger League to the end of the Challenger League finals, there will be a total of ten games." Su Mucheng was like a lively angel, counting the masks happily, "New guy, new look.
, I have prepared them all for you, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven...ten in total, are you considerate?"
Before Ye Xiu could answer, Su Mucheng's tone suddenly changed.
"Of course, you can also choose not to wear it. After all, there are some things that after so many years, we should learn to face the past."
Su Mucheng looked at Ye Xiu with bright eyes.
Ye Xiu's eyes were blank: "Isn't it right? I just faced the boss once, and you want to come again?"
"Really? Forget it, I'll take you to a place where there are Easter eggs I've prepared for you."
"That's pretty much it. Where to go?"
"Don't ask. Today you belong to me. Just follow the party."
"Even if you sell me, I can't resist?"
"Yes, I am aware."
Ye Xiu: "..."

ps: I’ve been thinking about the plot for several days, but I still feel like it’s not finished yet… @_@. Am I too hot-headed? ⊙ε⊙.
