6. Chapter 6
All the commentators in Wanjie are graduates from the broadcasting department. Li Ji's voice was very loud and his pronunciation was very clear.
Chi Mo's body trembled at the shouting. Almost subconsciously, he raised his hand to cover the man's mouth, and then whispered in his ear with a guilty conscience, "Shh, Muzi, keep your voice down!"
He never expected that the other party could recognize him in just a split second of eye contact. The moment he heard his ID, Chi Mohun was scared to death.
He could only scramble to minimize the impact.
After covering the man's mouth, Chi Mo looked around in horror and let out a breath - fortunately there was no one around at this time, otherwise he would have been killed on the spot by being called by his name!
Chi Mo didn't want to be watched at all. In order to minimize the impact, he covered Li Ji's mouth and quickly took him to a small corner. After confirming that there were no staff around who were looking at him with scrutiny, he let go of his hand with relief.
Compared to Chi Mo's guilty conscience and his desire to cover up everything, Li Ji's stunning glance brought about a much greater reaction than Chi Mo's.
From recognition to hugging, from covering his mouth to release, Li Ji did not loosen his hand even for a moment. He kept holding Chi Mo's waist tightly, as if treating a lost treasure, his eyes never left him, and even the frequency of blinking decreased significantly.
For both of them, neither of them could empathize with the other's feelings at this moment. This matter was understandable from anyone's perspective. Their reactions were real, but they became uncontrollable because of this reality.
The brain controlled the body. With emotions taking over and reason still lingering, Li Ji was completely immersed in joy. His eyes were wide open, and he held the person tightly, unwilling to let go. "Chi Shen, why didn't you tell me you were back?"
He had already lowered his voice to the lowest level, but Chi Mo was still startled. He patted the man's shoulder and soothed him, "Don't get excited, don't get excited."
How can I not be excited!
The person who had disappeared for three years suddenly appeared in front of him. It was so shocking that it was enough to make his brain short-circuit.
Li Ji couldn't calm down at all, his heart was beating wildly. He had only dared to think about meeting Momo backstage in his dreams, but who knew that he would actually meet her in reality!
It's so dramatic.
After a pause, Li Ji finally regained some of his composure. He couldn't suppress a smile, and he stopped hugging the person and started pulling the person's wrist. He said with relish, "When did you come back? How come I didn't hear anything? At first I thought I was dazzled, but luckily I hesitated for a moment."
He was only one year older than Chi Mo, so there was no barrier when they chatted.
Upon hearing this, Chi Mo also started chatting with people like a friend. He replied, "I came back quietly, not many people know about it. I hope Teacher Muzi can keep it a secret for me."
"Haha, calling me teacher is too flattering." Li Ji waved his hands quickly, "Keep it a secret, right? Don't worry, Master Chi, I definitely won't tell anyone!"
After saying that, he quickly asked, "Chi Shen, you won't leave this time, right?"
As if he had an endless stream of words to say, he looked at Chi Mo with anticipation.
Chi Mo smiled and shook his head: "Probably not."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expression of the person in front of him became noticeably happier.
He couldn't wait to rush over and give her a big hug, murmuring, "I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back..."
"Are you back to watch the game this time, Mr. Chi?" After the brief hug, Li Ji politely retreated to a safe distance.
Chi Mo hummed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen it offline, I want to experience it."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Ji, who was clearly more mature and steady than he was three years ago, and sighed, "It's great. The first time I'm watching a match offline, you're commentating. It's like a dream come true."
"Really? Really?" It was the first time Li Ji heard Chi Mo's praise. He covered his chest with his hands, looking flattered. "It's my honor!"
Chi Mo nodded in affirmation: "Really? Our teacher Muzi is so amazing, don't be so modest."
Although this was his first time watching a match offline, he had watched live broadcasts or replays of previous matches using electronic devices.
Muzi appears in the commentary booth at almost all games, and it is hard not to notice the transformation of his professional ability from immature to mature.
I'm not bragging, I'm just telling the truth.
Just when Chi Mo was about to ask him if he was going to work, Li Ji suddenly said "Thank you, Master Chi" out of the blue, confusing him.
"Why are you thanking me suddenly?" Chi Mo raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
Li Ji smiled and shook his head: "Nothing."
He didn't want to give the specific reason. This was his unilateral gratitude and he didn't want to put pressure or burden on others.
After he finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I finally expressed my gratitude after three years of hiding it in my heart.
This is a secret he has always kept in his heart, and it has become more and more serious after he retired and quit the Internet.
Li Ji is different from other commentators. As a young man of only 26 years old, Li Ji's qualifications are actually not high among commentators. He is considered a new generation commentator who entered the circle relatively late.
But as luck would have it, he just caught up with the final of the S15 World Championship Cup after he became an official commentator, which was also Chi Mo's last game before his retirement.
At that time, there were too few bilingual commentators, so the authorities had to make an exception and pick freshmen to fill the positions, and Li Ji, who had just graduated, was lucky enough to be selected.
Although he was not the home commentator, as the designated bilingual commentator for the official broadcast, he followed the game almost throughout.
It was this commentary that made him completely popular in the commentary circle. He went from an unknown newcomer to the commentator with the highest number of views in a single episode, and no one has surpassed him to this day.
That night, it was not only Chi Mo who became a god in one battle, but also Li Ji, who was commentating the game, got the halo of "god".
The popularity of the final that year was unprecedented and will never be surpassed. The moment of winning the championship immediately became a hot search in countries around the world and continued to dominate the charts for a week to a month.
In just one minute, it became the most searched term in gaming events from ancient times to the present, paralyzing all servers at home and abroad. People all over the world, despite different time differences, started the carnival at the same time. It was later jokingly called by the media - the last unattainable glory in the gaming industry.
All the players who participated in that final, including commentators, team leaders, and coaches, all became celebrities in the world.
In one night, the whole world remembered their names.
Among them, the one who benefited the most was the new commentator Li Ji.
Because of Chi Mo's game-winning performance in the final that year, the number of views of the video of the game at that time remained high. As the bilingual commentator who broadcast the game to the Chinese people, Li Ji's voice was played over and over again along with Chi Mo's brilliant performance to fans and passers-by.
With over a billion views, as long as someone clicks on the finals of that year and starts playing the video, his commentary voice will be played again and again along with Chi Mo's operations.
People all over the world are watching, his voice is broadcast on major platforms, and everyone who has watched the video can remember his passionate commentary. His voice has been engraved into the hearts of every Wanjie competitive fan along with the broadcast.
For a newcomer who has just started out, this is something he couldn't even dream of.
Because of Chi Mo's operation, his commentary also benefited from it and became an unattainable existence. This achievement is unmatched by anyone.
It can be said that Chi Mo changed his life and allowed a newcomer who had just graduated and entered the industry to directly have his own stable job.
Since that final, Li Ji has never missed the commentary of any game, whether domestic or foreign. He has been flooded with job offers. Even during the downturn of domestic e-sports in recent years, he is still popular among foreign competitions. Whenever there is a need for bilingual commentary for broadcasts, he is specifically asked to come.
In three years, Li Ji has relied on this "favor" to reach the forefront of the commentary circle. Now he has firmly established himself as the number one commentator in the world.
In the past three years, he has lived a smooth life and made a lot of money.
Whenever I think of my current achievements, I can never leave out the game that amazed the whole world.
No one should forget their roots. He always knew how he got everything he has now.
He was very grateful to Chi Mo, and this gratitude had already made his feelings for Chi Mo unilaterally surpass the so-called "comrade".
Compared to titles like "colleague" and "senior", Chi Mo is more like his benefactor, a noble person that he can hardly meet.
Maybe Chi Mo doesn’t even know him, but he will always remember him, always be grateful, and always remember his kindness.
He had long thought about saying thank you to someone in person, but ever since Chi Mo retired and left, there has been no news from him.
He just kept waiting and waiting.
With the passage of time, this emotion began to grow stronger, and was even unknowingly deified by Li Ji.
In his eyes, Chi Mo is the "God" who saved him.
Li Ji was really happy. He thought that God must have heard his call and finally, after waiting for a long time, the person he had been thinking about came back.
He just kept staring at Chi Mo, as if he could never get enough of looking, and was already a little out of control.
He didn't come to his senses until he heard the staff's urging voice in the headset.
Chi Mo looked at his expression and immediately understood what he meant. He said, "It's time to go to work."
"Yeah." Li Ji nodded, and he said reluctantly, "Chi Shen, after the game is over, can I treat you to a meal?"
Chi Mo readily agreed: "Sure."
Li Ji opened his eyes wide and suddenly became motivated: "Great! Wait for me, Chi Shen!"
As he spoke, he sighed in a dilemma, and said apologetically, "Sorry, Master Chi, the staff is a bit anxious, I may not be able to take you to the lounge."
Chi Mo quickly waved his hand to thank him for his kindness: "It's okay, I know how to get there."
"Okay, then, Chi Shen, I'll be leaving first." Li Ji and others waved goodbye.
After the person turned around and left, Chi Mo also walked towards the backstage lounge.
