Lin Cheng himself is quite a homebody. Except for running to the gym for half a day to sweat it out, he spends the rest of the time in his apartment playing games.
Han Shuyan came back on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Lin Cheng finally said goodbye to the days of ordering takeout every day and started working with Han Shuyan with peace of mind.
Xiao Tong did not wait for the end of the New Year and returned to Seoul two days later.
After returning, Miss Xiao naturally had to exchange some domestic experiences with Lin Cheng.
“Ugh~~~ I didn’t get anything done when I went home this year, so I just stayed at home and watched TV.”
Lin Cheng curled his lips, "Come on, you're back to have a family after all. I didn't even see the door."
“Hehe, that’s right too.”
Hearing what Lin Cheng said, Xiao Tong immediately regained his balance.
People's misfortunes are all relative, and one's own happiness is often based on the pain of others.
Xiao Tong: "Hey! Because of this epidemic, the school has decided to give the green light to our international students' application for suspension of study. What does your school say?"
Lin Cheng shook his head, "It's hard to say what the current situation will be like. This thing is so contagious. If it gets serious, it might be a question of whether we can even open schools."
"No way?"
Xiao Tong is more optimistic, "There seem to be only two cases of patients in South Korea now, and they are still in Daegu. It shouldn't reach that stage, right?"
“The fact that there are fewer people now does not mean that there will be fewer people in the future. Our country has not been able to curb the spread of infection in time. Do you think this group of losers in South Korea can handle it?”
Lin Cheng’s worries are not unreasonable. Although there have been confirmed cases in South Korea, the handsome boys in Seoul still have no sense of crisis and can enjoy themselves as much as they want.
After entering February, due to the severe domestic epidemic situation, LPL officials have announced that the event will be postponed, and South Korea’s Riot Games also decided to continue the LCK without spectators.
However, no one expected that after mid-February, when the domestic epidemic momentum had been effectively controlled, the epidemic in South Korea suddenly broke out.
Lucky for Seoul, the number of confirmed cases in Daegu is simply outstanding. Thanks to the efforts of a private church, the average daily growth rate in Daegu once exceeded 100%.
The South Korean government directly raised the epidemic alert level to the highest level, calling on citizens to minimize going out, not to attend gatherings, etc. At the same time, the Education Bureau also announced that all schools would be postponed.
On February 22, when Lin Cheng received the notice of postponement of the school term, he unexpectedly received another LCK trial invitation email.
This email still comes from KT’s new coach Kang Dongxun, who still insists on inviting Lin Cheng to participate in trial training during this special period.
To be honest, Kang Dongxun had already given up after being rejected by Lin Cheng last time, so he thought he would give it a try with the current lineup.
However, the LCK has already started for more than half a month, and the newly formed KT has lost five games in a row, which makes Mr. Hirai’s scalp numb.
KT has never been this bad even when it was bad!
You must know that the LCK only plays 18 games in a season, which is almost one-third of the games played. As a result, the traditional powerhouse KT was completely defeated and placed at the bottom.
The momentum of this dive to avoid relegation is even more terrifying than last season.
In fact, KT's duo in the bottom lane performed very well, and although Kuro in the middle lane can't be said to have much C, he is still stable.
The performance on the top lane is worrying. Both players SoHwan and Ray have appeared, but their status is worse than the other.
You can't say how bad they are, and they haven't been killed many times on the field, but they are often suppressed and cannot defend the jungle, and they also make many low-level mistakes in team fights.
Finally, Kang Dongxun decided to seek change after losing to newly promoted team APK in the fifth game.
He knew that he couldn't go on like this.
The team’s two top laners are both acting like this, so they have to find new ones.
So, he first thought of Lin Cheng, who had rejected him.
Although the transfer period has long been closed, Lin Cheng is a free agent and can sign with the team at any time midway. He is a real immediate player.
When Lin Cheng saw this email, he was finally shaken.
This is not only because of the other party’s sincere attitude, but also because of the current situation.
The current situation is obvious. It is still unclear when the school can resume normally due to the impact of the epidemic. However, since the LCK is a game without spectators, it seems that the impact of the epidemic is not that obvious?
So, this thought arose in Lin Cheng’s mind:
How about taking a break from school this year to play professionally?
Lin Cheng feels uncomfortable just sitting at home doing nothing every day. The key is that Lin Cheng has no signs of ending the epidemic in Seoul.
In fact, the Korean government has performed very well to be honest. Boss Wen calls on people to wear masks every day, avoid going out, etc., and has even set up testing points to provide free testing to anyone with any cold symptoms.
Compared with the Buddhist-style governments in Japan and the United States, if you really feel something is wrong, you can come to me for a test yourself. It is best not to come to the hospital if nothing happens. The proactive attitude of the Korean government is already good.
However, there are people making trouble at the rear. Some mentally unstable people shouting Hallelujah clamor for freedom and human rights every day.
There are other passionate young people who are busy forming teams to have fun, but these guys don't listen to the government's call at all.
In addition to the different people’s awareness of crisis, the main reason is that South Korea’s political system is different from ours.
In serious cases, the government can take coercive measures to block traffic and prevent population movement in the country. However, the South Korean government does not have the right to require public transportation to be suspended. Even if the epidemic breaks out, South Korean people can still move around as they please.
These circumstances have led to Lin Cheng not being optimistic that South Korea can quickly control the epidemic. Brain disabilities can be found everywhere and can still be controlled domestically. Brain disabilities are easily contagious in these capitalist countries.
But he couldn't bear to let Lin Cheng stay at home like this all the time. Kang Dongxun's second invitation finally made Lin Cheng make a decision.
LPL matches just started online today. In Lin Cheng’s view, even if the epidemic develops further, LCK can completely follow the LPL’s online matches and it should not be greatly affected.
Having made a decision, Lin Cheng’s first reaction was to run next door to discuss it with the two of them.
“Suspension of study?”
Xiao Tong was surprised by Lin Cheng's decision, "Aren't you? Even if you don't know when school will start, you don't have to work professionally, right? And now that the epidemic is so serious, it's not safe to work professionally, right?"
Lin Cheng was funny, "You also know that the epidemic is serious? Why didn't you wear a mask when you went out yesterday?"
Xiao Tong laughed dryly, "Didn't I forget it? I'll remember it in the future."
“It won’t happen next time.”
Lin Cheng snorted, and then said a little proudly: "Fortunately, I had the foresight to buy two large boxes of masks a year ago, which is enough for us to use for a long time."
Xiao Tong curled her lips, "If it weren't for your mother's reminder, would you have thought of buying a mask?"
“What the hell are you reminding me of? Why do you curse?”
ˆXiao Tong: "·····"
After arguing with Xiao Tong, Lin Cheng looked at Han Shuyan.
Han Shuyan waved her fist, "Since Cheng has made the decision, Xiaotong and I will cheer for you."
Lin Cheng grinned, "Then I'll go write an application for suspension of study."
