In the early morning of the 21st, Li Hao was woken up by a bunch of hair being scratched in his sleep.
After adapting to the light of the desk lamp, he opened his eyes.
A pair of energetic big eyes were looking at him with great interest.
"what time is it?"
"Five and one minute."
"When did you wake up?"
"Five minutes ago."
Seeing Li Hao's somewhat surprised look, Zhao Xiao'an explained while combing his hair: "The TV station often has morning interviews, so you have to go there very early to prepare. As you go back and forth, you develop a biological clock. Whenever something happens, you always wake up before dawn.
"
Li Hao shook her cold little hand and said half-jokingly:
"It's so hard. Why don't you quit your job and I'll support you."
"It's a beautiful thought."
The young lady rolled her eyes at him coquettishly:
"I'm not a vase in your house, and I don't want to be placed next to your trophy."
"Brother Hao..."
"Um?"
Li Hao hummed, then pinched his face with two hands, and rubbed him twice more before his sleepiness completely dissipated.
"There's something wrong with your thinking."
What?
Something wrong with your thinking?
Listening to the inexplicably familiar words being taught, Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to reach out to fight back when the people around him had already run away with a burst of laughter like silver bells.
After getting up and washing up, the two of them took a taxi to Hongqiao with a small amount of luggage. There was still some time before the high-speed train departed, so they bought breakfast at the station.
Zhao Xiaoan had been very active along the way. There were not many people in the car and he didn't pay much attention to what he said.
Li Hao took out his mobile phone and played "Jumping King".
The background of the game is very simple: "There is a hot girl on the roof. The protagonist needs to overcome many challenges and look for the legendary hot girl."
With small memory, the game operation is simpler, and the buttons are left and right and the charged jump button.
However, if the operator wants to rely on accumulating energy to stop at the corresponding position, he needs a lot of practice, because before taking off each time, he must keep an eye on the distance and calculate the time to press the jump button to accumulate energy. Once he lets go and reaches the air, he will not be able to turn back.
It seems simple, but in fact it is torture. People including Li Guapi, Lao Sha and others use this kind of mini-game to train their neural responses.
Li Hao is very easy to play.
Zhao Xiaoan happily said: "I'll give it a try."
A few minutes later, the tortured young lady returned the phone to him with a sad face and looked at him again like an alien.
"Stop playing. If you continue to play, your blood pressure will rise."
You must be exhausted.
Li Hao said "heh".
Therefore, it is very simple for Shi Yizhong to regain his face.
It was more than two hours' drive, and it was not yet nine o'clock when we arrived from Hongqiao to Jinling South Station.
"This is close to my home. Let's go to my house together?"
Li Hao raised his hand and touched Zhao Xiaoan.
"It's too hasty, no good."
She was very active in the car and was squirming now.
Zhao Xiaoan took a taxi without letting Li Hao see him off, and even winked at him before leaving. Li Hao almost stopped the car.
Li Hao also called for a car. After he got in the car, he gradually discovered something was wrong.
The driver kept peeking at him through the rearview mirror.
There is scrutiny in his eyes.
"Brother, is something wrong?" Li Hao asked proactively.
The driver was probably in his thirties. He didn't dare to turn his head back because he was driving, but his voice was a little excited:
"Are you a professional player? Why do you look familiar?"
"How did you know?"
"I just saw the LPL logo printed on your bag. I used to watch games and play games with a few friends, but now I don't have time to play with sports cars."
While talking, he meowed several times at the rearview mirror in the car.
"Look at the road." Li Hao reminded quickly, thinking that it would be better to get into Xiao An's car for peace of mind.
"Yes, I am an LPL player."
"Which team?"
"Snake."
"Hey, boom, boom~" the young driver suddenly spoke in his native accent.
"I've seen the championship team, the Bird's Nest game, no wonder it looks so familiar to you."
The driver was obviously very knowledgeable. He braked and stopped in front of the red light. He said with some pride:
"The most powerful person in the field of e-sports is from Jinling. Among you Snake, brother, the ID TheKing should be well-known. I am his fan."
When he looked back, Li Hao took off his hat, revealing a row of white teeth:
"I'm quite familiar with The King you're talking about."
"Awesome, can you tell me about him?"
"Can."
Li Hao asked: "Have you not watched the game recently?"
The driver smiled coquettishly: "I quite like it, but I just don't have time and life is quite stressful."
"I used to have a buddy who had a good family background, but he didn't let go of entertainment when he had free time. I couldn't do it."
Li Hao nodded with understanding.
Most people should be like him.
"Tell me about it, I can brag to my friends later."
"He's also a fan of The King."
"I'm also very curious about your professional players."
"No problem." Li Hao agreed happily.
On the road from south Jinling to central Jiangning, there were constant exchanges of questions and answers in the car.
The young driver enjoyed it very much. He gained a lot of knowledge and gained a better understanding of professional competitions and the number one e-sports player.
Hearing the news of four consecutive championships, he honked the horn excitedly, seeming to recall the green and passionate memories of the past.
Li Hao also enjoyed it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned to my hometown this time, I met a lovely fan.
However, I am a little disappointed.
We’ve all taken off our hats, why don’t you recognize me?
You fake fan.
Near ten o'clock, Li Hao saw the increasingly familiar buildings and roads, and he stopped the car on the side of the road.
"Brother, you are such a nice person."
"Sign your name for me and I'll watch you play next time I have time."
"OK."
Li Hao took the shabby notebook he handed over. It was covered with dust and the pen was sticky. Fortunately, there was no problem with ink printing.
Of all his signatures, this was probably the most impromptu.
He wrote the four-word blessing "Have a safe journey".
Then he wrote down his ID with a strange mood, wondering what this person's expression would be like when he saw it.
This brother wanted to charge two yuan less, but Li Hao paid the full amount and did not take advantage of him.
When I got off the car, I handed him the notebook.
Li Hao walked out for a few steps. The driver grabbed the next order and casually opened the book he just signed.
Suddenly, his car suddenly swerved, causing the car coming from the side to beep and warn him continuously.
"This is..."
"yes!"
The driver, who stared at the ID with wide eyes, slapped his thigh and said in surprise: "No wonder he looks so familiar."
"So he is The King~!"
"Good boy, Shao Shao, I was so surprised that I didn't recognize him."
The first thing he thought of was not to look back for Li Hao. He muttered a greeting and drove away quickly.
How embarrassing...
He was probably going to die laughing.
The driver looked at the notebook in the car and couldn't help but laugh.
He kept the signature.
Today, and for a long time after, he can use this matter as a topic of conversation, and he can even show off in front of his original friends.
On this ordinary morning, his originally peaceful work on the sports car caused interesting ripples, enough to make him recall it for a long time.
On the other side, Li Hao looked towards Xinjiekou and then entered the attic on the roadside.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a middle-aged man smoking a cigarette, and standing next to him was a middle-aged woman dressed exquisitely.
At first glance, women seem to be several years younger than men with unruly beards. This is because they are well-maintained.
It did not exceed Li Hao's expectations.
As soon as the two people upstairs saw him, they heard a "strange" sound.
"Old Li, who is this?"
"Your son."
A slap in the face.
"How can I have a son? Aren't there only two people in our family these days?"
Speaking of this, the woman slapped the man again.
"It's all your seed, it's wild!"
The butcher was extremely depressed: "Then you beat him, it's not me who's wild. I'll be at home with you every day."
"Pooh!"
"The flesh that fell off my body, no matter how willing I was to beat it, it's all your fault."
"I told you earlier that I would ask him to go back to his hometown to kill pigs. How can there be so many things?"
"..."
Li Hao smiled and trotted up.
"mom."
"dad."
"Don't get too close."
Hao's mother looked disgusted, but Shi Yizhong put down all his dignity and tried his best to please around him, and soon Hao's mother couldn't hold back his face.
She looked behind Li Hao again and again to make sure there was no second person, and immediately grabbed his ear:
"You haven't been home for a year, why are you the only one who came back?"
"Where did you take that girl?"
"..."
Li Hao entered the house and told them about the matter with Zhao Xiaoan, and then Hao's mother was satisfied.
In her opinion, a daughter-in-law is more important than a champion.
When Li Hao returned to the house, she and the butcher went into the kitchen to get food.
Soon, the three of them gathered at the dining table.
In the past year or so, although Li Haoren has not come back, he has had many video chats.
In addition, there is a lot of news about Li Hao, and many elderly couples pay close attention to him and are very aware of his activities.
In the eyes of the outside world, Li Hao is infinitely brilliant and already stands at the top of the pyramid in a field.
But as a parent, you see your children suffering from running around outside.
As long as you have some understanding of those pressures, you can feel them as an outsider, let alone a year ago when you traveled to a foreign country thousands of miles away.
They were proud of Li Hao's achievements, but at the same time felt sorry for him.
The meal lasted for a long time, and we talked from abroad to China, to TV interviews, and finally to visiting my parents-in-law.
Fortunately, the parents on both sides have known each other for a long time, so there was nothing embarrassing.
If the children on both sides are satisfied, then it will be a matter of course.
This made Hao Ma's face full of happiness, and she couldn't wait to get things done together tomorrow.
…
On January 23, the Zhao family was very lively.
Before eight o'clock in the morning, customers started arriving one after another.
A total of six people came to my second uncle's house and my sister-in-law's house.
If Zhao Xiaoan's uncle comes again, his closest relatives will be gathered together.
Originally, Zhao Xiaoan's cousin and cousin had no interest in getting up early and coming over to take a look at their brother-in-law.
However, after knowing who the brother-in-law was, the two were more active than the parents.
"Sister An~!"
A boy about fifteen years old looked at Zhao Xiaoan with a flattering expression.
"Can you ask your brother-in-law to take me to the next level? I won't be able to get gold."
gold?
Isn't this a cannon to kill mosquitoes?
"I'll take you, sister is a diamond."
"No, let my brother-in-law take me."
"By the way, help me see if I have the talent to play professionally."
The young man rubbed his hands: "What if I am also the one person in a million?"
"hehe..."
"Just you~"
The short-haired girl wearing a black down jacket mocked: "You are so good, you have spent all your money raising pigs, and you are still working professionally."
The young man was not so polite to his little cousin:
"What do you, an outsider, know?"
"Today, Sister An, my brother-in-law, and I can hold a canyon seminar to discuss game experiences. You don't even know the name of the hero, why are you here to join in the fun?"
The short-haired girl ignored him at all, turned to Zhao Xiaoan and said:
"Sister, you know, there are many girls in our class who like my brother-in-law, he is so handsome."
"For an e-sports player to be so good-looking, it's a foul act."
My cousin’s eyes were shining:
"Good sister, you must introduce me to your brother-in-law today."
Zhao Xiaoan glanced at her several times.
I wondered where I had seen the look in my cousin’s eyes.
By the way, this is what a good bestie is like.
The three of them chatted together, and the adults hugged each other again.
Zhao Xiaoan's mother was sitting at the main seat, displaying various information and news reports on her mobile phone like a treasure.
"How is it? My son-in-law is pretty good, right?"
"Tsk, tsk, this kid is so handsome!" the second aunt exclaimed.
"The key is that they are great."
Like my uncle, my sister-in-law is also from the journalism department.
"The e-sports industry is an emerging industry with strong momentum."
"Li Hao is from Jinling. He is now the most successful player in the e-sports industry. The local TV station also said that he would be interviewed for the program before, but he was beaten by the Magic City and Kyoto. There were a few tofu chunks in the evening paper.
, they say that Jinling is a place where people gather together, and talented people can be found in all walks of life."
Hearing my sister-in-law's professional praise, the second uncle over there looked surprised. He didn't know much about this aspect.
"Is it so powerful?"
"Playing e-sports is more profitable than me and the boss cooking seafood?"
"Hahaha."
The young man came over to get some water. When he heard his old man's words, he laughed like a duck.
"Dad, how can you compare with your brother-in-law? Dimensionality reduction is a blow."
He knew everything he knew: "My brother-in-law played a game in Los Angeles last year, and his pure annual salary was five small goals. Everyone in our class knows about it."
"Why don't you let your brother-in-law take a look and see if you have e-sports talent? Can he help you with it?"
"Your skin is itchy, right?"
The second uncle glared at him and pretended to beat the seven wolves.
The young man ran away, but what he said really opened the eyes of Uncle Zhao Xiao'an.
Five small goals?
Annual salary...
This is crazy!
My sister-in-law shook her head at the side.
The second aunt asked: "Huaiqing is talking nonsense?"
"It's not nonsense."
"It means there are fewer. I estimate there are seven or eight small targets."
"Hey...how much is that?"
The second aunt was speechless.
Seeing her surprised look, Zhao Ma's eyebrows were raised and she always had a smile on her lips.
Our son-in-law is awesome~!
The second aunt glanced at Zhao Xiaoan and asked in a low voice towards Mother Zhao and Father Zhao:
"With Xiao An's personality, can you understand this person?"
She also means well.
After all, such a huge wealth has reached a shocking level.
Father Zhao leaned forward. Although he was worried about losing his little cotton-padded jacket, he and Mother Zhao worked together to find out about this aspect, and also asked the child's uncle in the city. The results obtained were satisfactory.
.
Their family lacks everything, and they have never been in pursuit of money from the beginning, so they will not push their children into a pit of fire.
"Don't worry about that."
Father Zhao said: "We know the child's parents, and the child has been pure since he was a child."
The second uncle said "rare" twice.
They continued to discuss this son-in-law for a long time.
Near ten o'clock, the doorbell rang.
The Li Hao family, carrying large and small packages of gifts, were welcomed by the Zhao family and entered.
What surprised Li Hao was that Mother Zhao was very enthusiastic. She took his hand to greet him as soon as he got there, and then led him to meet several elders and peers one by one. The whole process was very smooth and without any embarrassment.
This went much smoother than expected.
This was Li Hao's first experience of the mother-in-law's care for her son-in-law.
really not bad.
When we sat down to chat, Zhao's mother went to cook, and Zhao's father was not so easy to deal with.
Whether it was his second uncle asking questions or his sister-in-law asking questions, Father Zhao was always observing.
However, Shi Yizhong, who is quite comfortable dealing with major media, is naturally generous and decent when faced with small parents who have shortcomings.
Of course it was my sister-in-law who opened her mouth to praise me.
I can't help it, my looks are too good.
At noon, a table was full.
Li Hao wanted to pour the wine himself, but Mother Zhao snatched the bottle away.
The mother-in-law poured the wine herself, which shows how satisfied she is.
This allowed Li Hao to experience a Vincentian perspective. People come here with smoke, but I am...
Here comes the wine!
Li Hao did not refuse and clinked glasses with Zhao's father, second uncle, sister-in-law and cousin one after another.
Although he is sober on the inside, he still looks like he is drunk on the outside.
It was hard for Hao's mother to say that her mother-in-law felt distressed and took away the cup in front of Li Hao.
Li Hao was a little touched and almost recognized his mother on the spot.
During the dinner, Zhao Xiaoan also toasted to his parents-in-law.
There is a strong atmosphere around the table, with glasses being exchanged.
Li Hao and Zhao Xiaoan both drank a few drinks. When the people around them were not paying attention, their eyes met across the glasses. One was a slightly drunk young man, and the other was a slightly tipsy girl. Their eyes met together, and there was an inexplicable collision.
There are sparks and a sweet joy.
