At three forty in the morning, Xu Ruoguang got out of the car and nodded to KKoma behind him.
"Brother, I'm in, you go back."
"It's okay, I'll accompany you."
KKoma shook his head slightly, his expression equally solemn.
Xu Ruoguang didn't say anything more, walked quickly into the hospital, and walked towards the place where the doctor sent the news.
Xu Ruoguang hates hospitals.
Very annoying.
His parents died in an accident, and he spent a long time in the hospital before recovering.
The air was filled with disinfectant and an inexplicable smell, which was very pungent and seemed to symbolize the decay and decay of life.
Walking all the way to the door of the ward, looking at the closed door, Xu Ruoguang felt uneasy like never before.
Just when he finished the MSI, he received a call from WH City First People's Hospital.
At that time, the doctor asked him very seriously, are you Lin Qing'e's relative?
Xu Ruoguang nodded yes without hesitation.
Lin Qing'e is the name of the old lady in the orphanage.
Then he got the news that she was seriously ill.
In Xu Ruoguang's life, there were many people worth remembering.
Those who had helped him, those who had given him a chance, those who had awakened him from his confusion.
And the dean’s grandmother is undoubtedly the most important person.
Xu Ruoguang still remembers the first time he saw her.
It was an autumn day when the leaves were withered and yellow, and her hair was not all white yet. She patiently knelt down and held his hand.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Grandma will take care of you from now on."
At that time, he opened his eyes wide, filled with her gentle and kind smile.
"call……"
Looking at the door in front of him, Xu Ruoguang had never felt so uneasy.
There are some things that he deliberately avoids.
The so-called birth, aging, illness and death are the laws of the world.
There is nothing he can do.
But he knew that he would eventually have to face it.
He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened.
The person who opened the door was a well-dressed middle-aged doctor. When the doctor saw him, there was a look of understanding in his eyes.
"Are you the patient's family member?"
"Yes, I am her grandson."
Xu Ruoguang lowered his voice subconsciously and replied softly.
He looked at the doctor seriously,
"Hello doctor, I would like to know how my grandma is doing now."
The doctor sighed.
Xu Ruoguang felt half-hearted.
The doctor knew from his expression that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained,
"No, no, I sighed because I was tired. Your grandma is awake now. Fortunately, she was delivered in time and we rescued her."
Xu Ruoguang:……
"So is this situation okay now?"
he asked.
"how to say……"
The doctor hesitated.
Xu Ruoguang's heart felt a little cold again,
"You don't have to worry about it. If anything happens, just tell me. I can bear it."
"According to common sense, it should be considered that everything is fine."
The doctor nodded and reassured him first.
"I don't know why your grandma is so strong-willed. We successfully rescued her."
"but……"
"but what?"
Xu Ruoguang asked eagerly.
"But... I have reached my age after all."
The doctor shook his head,
"She is over eighty years old, right? The resistance of an old person at this age is very poor, the body structure of the whole body has aged, the functions of various organs have begun to gradually become impaired, and the synergistic function has almost disappeared."
"The most serious problem is the lung problem, which requires urgent surgery, but... I don't recommend it to elderly patients."
The doctor explained,
"The risks of surgery are too great. If you are not careful..."
He didn't finish his words, he just patted Xu Ruoguang's shoulder.
"Child, go in, speak a little lower, and don't give the patient too much stimulation."
Xu Ruoguang nodded numbly.
The doctor shook his head, sighed and left.
Just as Xu Ruoguang was about to go in, he was suddenly stopped by the doctor.
"I actually have a question."
Xu Ruoguang was stunned for a moment, "You said it."
"Neither you nor the patient seems to be particularly short of money, but why does the patient seem to be living in a tight situation?"
The doctor was a little confused.
Let's talk about being unfilial. How can an unfilial grandson come over immediately after a phone call?
I would say filial piety, but that old lady didn't seem to have a well-off life.
Xu Ruoguang lowered his head slightly,
"my question."
The doctor didn't ask any more questions and left.
Xu Ruoguang stood in front of the door, feeling self-blame and regret welling up in his heart.
If only he cared more.
If he takes some time to spend with her.
If only he had been more insistent when taking her to experience it.
Would the situation be different?
Xu Ruoguang doesn't know.
As he approached the door, he rubbed his face fiercely, forced an ugly smile, and walked in.
The room was very quiet, except for a busy nurse, she was the only one.
At this time, she was leaning on the bedside, wearing reading glasses, her face was a little pale, and she was watching the TV with a low volume in front of her.
Hearing the footsteps, she turned her head and saw Xu Ruoguang smiling reluctantly at the door.
"Why are you here?"
There was a bit of excitement in her voice, but also a bit of blame.
"Weren't you still working just now? Don't worry about me, old lady, come here and sit down. You must be very tired when you come back now."
"Not tired, not tired."
Xu Ruoguang shook his head quickly and said with a smile,
"Don't you know, technology is very advanced now, and you can come back very quickly."
"Oh, Yaozi, you think I don't know anything?"
She smiled weakly,
"You should go celebrate with your friends now. Why are you coming back? Don't worry so much. I'm not going to die yet."
Xu Ruoguang walked to her side and looked at her closely.
He hasn't seen her for a long time.
Although the monthly donations to the orphanage have never stopped, due to the tight training schedule, I have not been back for at least two months.
Two months ago, her face was rosy and she spoke with great energy.
But now, she is emaciated and weak, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Thinking of the past, Xu Ruoguang couldn't help but lower his head and almost shed tears.
Is the so-called championship really that important?
He was confused again.
But before he could feel sorry for himself for long, a withered and thin hand took hold of his wrist.
"Are you thinking wildly again?"
The dean's grandma gently wiped away his tears and asked in a warm voice.
"How can that be possible..."
Xu Ruoguang forced a smile,
"You..."
The dean's grandmother sighed and said with a serious face.
"Don't think so much. Sit down and let grandma take a good look at you. There won't be many opportunities in the future, so you have to take a good look."
"good."
Xu Ruoguang straightened his body.
The dean's grandmother raised her head slightly with some effort and looked at him carefully.
After a long while, he spoke unsatisfied.
"I lost weight again."
Xu Ruoguang tilted his head slightly, wiped his tears and said with a smile.
"No grandma, I've gained weight recently."
"do not Cry."
She didn't answer, she just said this.
Then he pulled Xu Ruoguang.
Xu Ruoguang leaned over obediently, and she carefully helped Xu Ruoguang wipe away his tears.
"What a man, I'm crying and crying. People who don't know think I'm dead, but I'm not dead yet."
"grandmother!"
Xu Ruoguang was a little blamed.
"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it."
The dean's grandmother obeyed him and patted the back of his hand.
She pointed at the screen in front of her and said mysteriously,
"What do you think that is?"
Xu Ruoguang turned his head and focused his eyes.
On the screen, it turned out to be this year's MSI finals.
Grandma Dean leaned on the bed and smiled proudly.
"Don't underestimate me, old lady. Although I don't understand it very well, I still know your name. Every time I hear the commentator praise you, oh, I am very happy."
She said with some regret,
"It's a pity that I couldn't see the live broadcast of your last game. If you don't come sooner, you won't come later. I have to come at this time."
Xu Ruoguang was speechless and just looked at the screen blankly.
He never thought that the dean's grandmother, who was already in her eighties, would come into contact with such new things because of him.
The guilt in his heart overflowed more and more, and he lowered his head involuntarily and spoke in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, grandma."
"What did you say? How could you possibly be sorry for me?"
She was a little surprised.
Xu Ruoguang just repeated.
She said no more, sighed, and patted the back of his hand gently.
The room became quiet for a moment.
After a long time, she asked,
"Did the doctor tell you something?"
"yes……"
Xu Ruoguang repeated the doctor's words.
She didn't show any expression when she heard that something might happen. She just nodded.
"do it."
Xu Ruoguang raised his head suddenly,
"grandmother!"
Of course he knew what she meant by just doing it.
The problem is... given her current physical condition...
"rest assured."
She comforted softly,
"I have lived for more than eighty years. If I want to live any longer, I have to fight for my life with the Lord of Hell. It's just a little bit of a risk. I can bear it."
"If I, an old and immortal person, don't want to die, I can't die."
"But……"
"No buts, be obedient."
She spoke seriously.
Xu Ruoguang stopped talking, but turned his head.
In front of her, he will always be just a child.
Because she is his family.
"Don't be blindly angry. This is my own decision."
She pulled Xu Ruoguang a little harder, like coaxing a child.
Just like your threat to skip meals only works on mom.
Xu Ruoguang pretended to be angry, but it only worked for her.
She gently patted Xu Ruoguang's wrist.
"Everyone has their own path and their own choices, Xiaoguang."
"Rather than slowly stay in the hospital bed until death, I would rather fight."
"Please respect me, okay?"
"The orphanage still needs me, you still need me, grandma won't die, don't worry, grandma promises you."
Xu Ruoguang was silent, but nodded.
She is still as stubborn as before.
"By the way, I heard that you have a girlfriend. Does she have time? Bring her over and show me to the old lady."
Grandma Dean said with a smile.
"I'll ask her to come over tomorrow."
Xu Ruoguang nodded.
"It's too troublesome, so forget it. Don't force others to do anything, you know?"
"……good."
She held on to her reading glasses and smiled with satisfaction.
"I'll cut some fruit for you."
Xu Ruoguang stood up.
But she shook her head.
"No, it's already very late. I want to go to bed, old lady."
Xu Ruoguang had no choice but to agree and took the nurse beside him to ask about the situation. He was not going to disturb her anymore today.
But just as he was about to go out, her voice rang again.
"Xiao Guang, will you leave tomorrow?"
The voice was still calm, but a little helpless.
Xu Ruoguang almost burst into tears again and replied choked with sobs.
"Not leaving."
"That's good...I'm sorry, but I can only trouble you..."
Xu Ruoguang walked out of the ward quietly and saw KKoma sitting alone on a chair in the corridor, smoking a cigarette alone.
Xu Ruoguang walked over and sat down next to him.
"call……"
KKoma took a puff of smoke, watched it dissipate in the bright light, and asked quietly.
"How is it going?"
"Not that good..."
Xu Ruoguang stared at the wall in front of him blankly, and then replied after a long time.
"Surgery is needed, but she is too old and the risks of surgery are very high."
"What did the old man say?"
"She said she was going to have surgery."
"What do you think?"
kkoma asked.
"I have no idea."
Xu Ruoguang shook his head in confusion.
He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Can I ask for leave?"
"Axi..."
kkoma cursed,
"Don't think so much. If you still fight in a game like this, whoever dares to let you play in a game will be scolded by your kkoma brother."
"Don't worry, the general situation has been reported to the UR executives, and they are having a meeting over there overnight."
he comforted.
Just as he was talking, KKoma's mobile phone uploaded a reply.
"It's news from Locodon. He said he would call you right away."
Locoden, the former head of the RW club, is now the top person in charge of UR because ROG invested in UR.
Xu Ruoguang's cell phone rang and he picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Is it Xu Ruoguang?"
On the other end of the phone, Locoden's voice came.
"……yes."
"How is the old man doing?"
Locodon asked.
Xu Ruoguang still told him, Le Keden said thoughtfully.
"So do I need to take a long time off in the summer split?"
kkoma: It’s hard, the fist is hard!
He grabbed the phone with a cold expression on his face.
"Hey, Supervisor Le, don't you have any conscience? Is Xu Ruoguang's current situation suitable for playing games? Asi, you dog managers are all Xiba with the same virtues, and the real Xiba is not a human being!"
KKoma, who is usually gentle and gentle, transformed into a grumpy old man and started to output like crazy.
The other end of the phone went silent for a while.
After waiting for KKoma to vent his anger, Locodon spoke a little aggrievedly.
"Coach KKoma...you are thinking too much."
"I'm just confirming the specific situation. In fact, this is just the last step. The meeting has decided to give him a holiday, but we must know the wishes of player Xu Ruoguang."
"Contestant Xu Ruoguang, do you want to ask for leave?"
Xu Ruoguang took back his phone and spoke seriously.
"Yes, I would like to take some time off."
"Okay, I've approved it. Remember to call in advance when you come back."
Lecoden is very refreshing.
When something like this happens, the players are the ones who suffer the most.
Although ROG is a capital, there is no need to consider the feelings of the players.
But Xu Ruoguang is not alone. As the most outstanding player in League of Legends today, he has thousands of fans behind him.
If the fans were informed that something had happened to Xu Ruoguang's family but the management refused to let him go, I'm afraid the excited fans would drive a big truck to the door of the UR club the next day.
This is really no joke.
If a club IP wants to operate and maintain, it cannot do without the support of fans.
With this interest relationship in front of us, even cold-blooded capital has to bow its head.
Because it is impossible for capital to be at odds with money.
Besides, ROG is not such an impersonal capital. Now the MSI championship and the S8 championship have made them a lot of money. They still respect the heroes of all this.
But before hanging up the phone, Le Corden still asked Xu Ruoguang a question.
"If you are a professional player, you will deteriorate if you don't train for a long time, right?"
Xu Ruoguang knew exactly what he meant.
"Don't worry, even if I don't train for a long time, I still have the ability and perseverance to catch up."
"good."
Locoden looked at the information placed in front of his subordinates.
"Xu Ruoguang, I have three pieces of information here. Because you are unable to continue to serve because of something, UR is now short of a top laner. Now I must ask for your opinion. Who do you want to be your substitute during this time?"
Xu Ruoguang asked hesitantly.
"Let me decide?"
"Yes, the information I have is all about the top laners in the high-level Korean server. As a player who has always been in the top ten of the Korean server, you should have some impressions of them, right?"
Locodon told the reason.
"That's it."
Xu Ruoguang suddenly realized.
"Then you say."
So Locoden began to read those materials.
The first two pieces of information did not cause any fluctuations in Xu Ruoguang.
After all, it is actually very difficult to rank him in the ordinary Korean server with a thousand points.
Only the last one made his expression change slightly.
"...name, Zhang Xiaquan."
"ID, Nuguri."
"I made my debut in IGS in 2017, a secondary league, and this time it was also recommended to us by DWG boss Lan Tian."
"Lan Tian said that his playing style is very fierce and he is a very oppressive player."
"I am 18 years old this year. He is a top laner with great potential and flexibility."
Xu Ruoguang tapped his fingers on the hospital chair.
"It's him."
"oh?"
Locodon was a little surprised.
He originally thought that Xu Ruoguang would consider it for a few more days before giving him any advice. After all, MSI had just finished and the summer split would still be some time away.
But Xu Ruoguang didn't think much about it at all and directly chose this player named Nuguri.
This made Le Keden feel that Xu Ruoguang was perfunctory with him?
After all, a player who can defeat IGS, a debut team in the secondary league, seems to be somewhat different from the previous two top laners that all major teams are competing for.
If it weren't for Xu Xiu Canyon and Beryl, who were previously produced by DWG, they played very well and won the championship, which can be regarded as quality assurance.
This time the DWG boss recommended Lecoden and I wouldn’t even read it.
"It's him."
Xu Ruoguang spoke with confidence.
"The reason I chose him is very simple. I have basically never encountered the two top laners in the Korean server. If they can't even get a 1,300-point game, does it count as a 1,000-point game?"
Xu Ruoguang spoke quietly.
"And...as long as I encounter them, I can easily penetrate them in fifteen minutes."
"Except this Nuguri."
"He is the strongest one in the lane, but he has a little problem and likes to be greedy."
"He has the greatest potential and is also the strongest."
Only then did Locodon understand why.
Actually, it's true when you think about it.
If the top laner who was beaten in fifteen minutes against Xu Ruoguang were to serve as the top unit of UR now, the tactical restrictions caused would be visible to the naked eye.
It will definitely affect many things.
And Nuguri, who has stronger laning, is indeed the potential stock with the highest potential and the easiest to bet on.
After all, although the coach can teach you team play and development, he really can't teach you how to line up.
The laning ability is the real hard power.
"good."
Locodon agreed immediately and hung up the phone.
"Contact DWG tomorrow. By the way, remember to prepare an announcement to explain the reason, but don't reveal the hospital where Xu Ruoguang is currently located."
"There won't be any problems with such a small thing, right?"
"No problem, Mr. Le."
The assistant nodded seriously.
After hanging up the phone with Le Keden, Xu Ruoguang's cell phone was still ringing crazily.
When he opened the chat software, no surprise, it was his teammates.
This is a small group called [Xiu Shen’s Harem].
Xu Ruoguang didn't even bother to guess, but he knew it must be Xu Xiu, the administrator, who did the bad thing.
At this time, there was already a lot of discussion in the group.
The first person to notice Xu Ruoguang's absence was Xu Xiu.
The best mid laner in the universe, the invincible Show God:??
The best mid laner in the universe, the invincible Xiu Shen: Where is Brother Guang?
An alpaca: I asked Brother KKoma and I heard that something happened at Brother Guang’s house.
Social Brother Tian:...
Brother Tian from society: I’m afraid it’s not a good thing if it’s so urgent.
Park Do-hyun: I hope it’s nothing serious. I’ll ask KKoma hyung again.
Canyon: I have finished asking. It seems that an elder who is very good to Brother Guang is hospitalized.
Social Brother Tian: Ah...
An alpaca: I still have some savings@Xu Ruoguang, tell me if you need it.
The most invincible mid laner in the universe, Xiu Shen: Add me!
Social Brother Tian: Add me!
Park Do-hyun: Add me!
Canyon:Add me a share!
Forgot love: and me.
The best mid laner in the universe, the invincible Xiu Shen:?Brother, are you?@forgotlove
Forget about love: I will practice for two more hours tomorrow, and I won’t even recognize you Mingkai brother. It’s so rude to the coach.
Pfft.
Xu Ruoguang couldn't help but laugh.
Feeling a little better.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't always think in extreme directions, Ruoguang."
"We may encounter many setbacks in life, but no matter what, this is life. What we have to do is to do our best where we can, and leave the rest to God."
kkoma comforted her warmly.
A little clumsy, but more popular.
“What a crappy chicken soup.”
Xu Ruoguang complained mercilessly.
"Haha, don't worry, let's come back tomorrow. Let's go to the hotel and spend the night first."
kkoma patted his shoulder.
The two left the hotel.
At this moment, it was already a night with few stars, but suddenly there was a gentle breeze.
Xu Ruoguang didn't know whether the operation would be successful.
But during this period of time, he will never leave.
People should learn to be grateful, and there is nothing he can do to repay the dean's kindness to him.
The next day, the entire League of Legends community exploded.
UR top laner Emporer is likely to miss the summer split for a long time due to unexpected changes.
Instead, there was an unknown top laner named Nuguri.
