It's a new journey again this year, and the spring season is in full swing.
During the regular season, Lin Yueqin and Jiang Gao would occasionally talk on the phone late at night.
Their calls weren't long, but there were rarely any dull moments. They mostly talked about everyday trivialities, but more often than not, they just wanted to hear each other's voices.
Of course, sometimes, thoughts and love words will flow out naturally without you noticing:
It's another night.
"What should I do? I want to hug you."
After the two chatted casually for a few minutes, Lin Yueqin expressed her inner thoughts. This was her longing for him, and also her consolation for FD's loss today.
In fact, they have lost too many games. Naturally, they will be unhappy, but all they can do is adjust and believe in the next time.
"I want to too." Jiang Gao responded in a low voice.
"Teacher Jiang, can you see the moon from where you are?"
Jiang Gao stood in front of the French window of the training room on the first floor. Outside the window was a deep darkness.
He thought Lin Yueqin wanted to talk to him about "sharing the beauty of the moon even though we are thousands of miles apart" or about admiring the same bright moon together, so he said, "Wait a moment."
He walked out of the club base, sat down on a public bench, and looked up.
"Yeah." He spoke again.
"Does the moonlight shine on you?"
In fact, I can't tell whether the faint light on my body is the street light or the moonlight.
But he still responded: "Yeah."
"That's the moon hugging you!"
When Jiang Gao realized what was happening, his ears felt warm, and he smiled and said, "Is it the moon speaking sweet nothings to you?"
Lin Yueqin opened her lips slightly and asked in a low voice, "Which moon?"
"It's...Reporter Lin."
Her breathing stagnated, and then she shook her head: "Well, I don't think so!"
"Um?"
"It's Moon!"
The corners of Jiang Gao's mouth lifted unconsciously.
"Moon." She called him again,
"Um."
"moon~ moon~...muma~"
After blurting out these words, Lin Yueqin's cheeks instantly felt hot, which gave her goose bumps.
However, only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard from the receiver, and he did not speak.
She was a little embarrassed. She coughed twice and then pretended to be calm and added: "The moon is talking, can you hear it?"
Jiang Gao chuckled, "What is it saying?"
"Tell me I missed you."
He smiled again, looked up at the moon, and thought of the person named Yueqin.
"Yeah, I missed you too."
Such a straightforward statement had already caused ripples in her heart.
Lin Yueqin pursed her lips and smiled. Suddenly, she remembered that Jiang Gao had unconsciously said during the off-season that his sleep quality had become a little poor after the team's performance was not good.
At this time, it was late at night and his teammates had fallen asleep.
In fact, he had trouble falling asleep again today.
Of course, she is too.
She said softly into the receiver, "So next time you can't sleep, go check if there's a moon. If there is, it means I'm thinking of you and want to cheer you up."
"What if... not?"
"Well...that's why I want to kiss you, because...without moon, it's a Trojan horse!"
Jiang Gao's lips curled up.
Lin Yueqin also grinned.
Suddenly, a small thank you came from the receiver.
Thank her for bringing sweetness in the middle of the night and soothing the torment and anxiety in my heart.
Lin Yueqin was not good at comforting or expressing herself actively, but she became Jiang Gao's emotional soothing agent, letting him know that life was still good and making him feel better, which was involuntarily what she did.
Moon, I sincerely wish you can sleep well every night.
Before hanging up the phone, Lin Yueqin told him to cheer up as usual. She said, "Just believe in yourself, you will always be the best."
The candies you eat on the road of life are enough to keep you alive for a long, long time.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Gao stood up from the bench, patted the slightly wrinkled hem of his clothes, and the moonlight shone on his back.
He walked towards the base, and the slightly blocked discomfort in his heart had been cleared.
Okay, just keep moving forward.
…
However, they still did not go very far this season and were eliminated in the semi-finals again.
As spring turns to summer, reaching the semi-finals is actually a pretty good result.
So this time, they decided to try again with the original configuration, and they kept the same team from last season during the transfer period.
…
New season,
They really seem to be full of life,
After a season of training, they have indeed become more in sync.
Although they cannot achieve a perfect record, they are indeed a strong contender for the championship this season.
…
In the playoffs, they made it out of the loser group.
After a long-awaited final, FD finally touched again.
When the league released the posters of the teams competing in the finals on Weibo,
Weibo comments:
"This version has a new god, and every version has a new god."
Yes, reaching the finals was undoubtedly a team effort, but in the semifinals, trailing 0-2, it was Moon's late-game performance that sealed the victory. That completely boosted the team's morale, and they ultimately won the match 4-2. Moon was in fantastic form that day, winning four games and earning four MVP awards.
They said that if FD could win the finals, Moon would definitely get his second FMVP.
Moon, touch the cup again!
…
The grand finals were held in Jinling City.
It’s still so lively and exciting.
This is Moon's third year in KPL and his third finals.
Lin Yueqin came to the competition alone, and she was still sitting in the audience fully armed.
In the past year, she also went to watch his games offline, but none of them were as exciting as the finals.
Before the game, she prayed, "Player Moon, I hope your wish will come true. This time, walk farther and stand higher."
…
She stared at the big screen intently, and the sound from the speakers penetrated her chest.
This is the atmosphere of the finals.
The game was very tense.
The score came to one to two.
…
Moon won the MVP, and the score was 2-2.
…
FD fell behind by one round again,
Three to two,
She clenched her hands tightly, her palms slightly sweaty. Can she do it?
One more round and it will be the peak showdown.
The audience in the audience was very nervous, eager to start the next game, but also afraid.
Their break was very short and the match point game started soon.
…
However, the reality is not as we wish.
In just over ten minutes, that heart was broken.
Four to two, the most unpleasant scoreline. Not being completely crushed gave everyone hope, but only a tiny bit of it. The exciting peak battle never came.
FD, defeated.
In an instant, the fireworks exploded.
There will still be passionate young people on the stage.
Amidst inspiring congratulatory speeches and team music, the losing team hugged their opponents and said congratulations.
Then they walked off the stage in silence with their heads bowed.
Roses bring romance to everyone, but trophies bring regret to everyone.
They quietly left the stage in the golden rain, and the cheers from the audience belonged to today's winner.
Doesn't belong to them.
The sighs of the fans below the stage and the downcast eyes of the young man on the stage condensed into silence amidst a sea of brilliant ribbons.
Not all wishes can come true, and not all regrets can be filled.
Tears are shed for happiness and for regret.
The finals, which were finally won, filled with countless hopes, ended in a hasty manner two years later.
How can I not be sad?
Not only the contestants, but also the fans in the audience.
However, they still encourage on Weibo:
"Moon, don't bow your head. We hold our heads high. We are not losers. We are the runner-up. We are second place. We are upright!"
Runner-up is not a failure.
"Moon will fight for another ten years!"
"It doesn't matter. Next time, you'll be the champion."
They have no idea how lonely they are or how they adjust, all they know is that they will see each other next season.
Lin Yueqin still texted Jiang Gao after the match: [In my heart, Moon is the champion. He played so steadily and confidently today! No trophy is needed to prove it; Teacher Jiang is the best!]
35 words, 35 kills.
The moon is really brilliant tonight.
In the finals, there are winners, but no losers.
Jiang Gao: Thank you.
Lin Yueqin: [It’s okay, Teacher Jiang, you’ll definitely be able to do it next time!]
Jiang Gao: [Hmm]
It can be seen from the text that he is in a bad mood at the moment, but Lin Yueqin doesn't know how to comfort him, and she is afraid of disturbing him by calling him. In this situation, he needs to adjust himself.
She didn't message him anymore.
But I can't sleep tonight.
At three o'clock in the morning, she tossed and turned but still couldn't fall asleep. After thinking about it, she opened the game. She didn't want to play it, but just wanted to confirm something.
Yes, the system shows that he is still playing solo.
After returning to the base, whether out of competition, unwillingness, or to kill time, he locked himself in the game.
Lin Yueqin sent him a message in the game interface: [Aren’t you sleeping yet? ]
Jiang Gao: [Not too sleepy, I'll play some games. Why aren't you sleeping yet?]
Later, Jiang Gao did not receive any reply from Lin Yueqin and thought she had fallen asleep.
Twenty minutes later, the cell phone next to me suddenly rang.
"Hello." His hoarse voice was filled with fatigue and hidden boredom.
"Go downstairs."
The moment he spoke, the game in his hands ended.
These two simple words made him stunned.
"What?"
"I'm downstairs in the hotel, come down."
Before coming to watch the game, Lin Yueqin asked him about the hotel he was staying in, because the hotels arranged by their alliance were generally very close to the competition venue, so she could use it as a reference. Of course, she would definitely not choose to book the same hotel as him, for fear of disturbing him, but she chose a very close one. She also thought that if he won the game, the two of them could meet soon afterwards.
Jiang Gao, who was originally drowsy, suddenly woke up at this moment. He hurried downstairs wearing hotel slippers.
Lin Yueqin stood beside a tree and stared at the hotel entrance.
The moment he came out, she hurried forward, and Jiang Gao also quickened his pace.
Before he could react, Lin Yueqin had already stepped forward and hugged him tightly.
The hug was urgent, carrying the coolness of the night breeze and the warmth of her body.
Although he was surprised, he hugged her back.
After hugging her for two minutes, he slowly said, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yueqin shook her head in his arms. "Nothing, I just thought you needed a hug right now."
Because I wanted to give him a hug, I came to find him.
At this moment, Jiang Gao's heart had turned into cotton candy, fluffy and sweet.
He had rested his chin on her head and patted her back soothingly as he hugged her.
After hearing this, he finally bent down and buried his head in her neck.
He revealed his vulnerability in her arms.
Quietly, just a hug to heal.
Later, it was almost four in the morning, the night was silent and the streets were empty.
The two held hands and walked in Nanjing city under the thin moonlight.
She just felt that he needed company at the moment.
There was still a hint of sadness in his eyes. At the age of twenty-something, he would still be sad because of the failure of the competition. It was because of his love for the game that he was still brooding over it.
However, he was much more relaxed at the moment, and he certainly would not be trapped in the same place.
But Lin Yueqin didn't know yet.
Before leaving, she suddenly said, "Teacher Jiang."
"Um."
"You know what? Buddha said there are four truths, and the first is the truth of suffering."
She tried to comfort him with words.
Jiang Gao stopped and looked at her.
"Well, but... people with faith can't say they suffer." There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a familiar determination appeared in his eyes.
Lin Yueqin also smiled when she heard this. She knew that Teacher Jiang was firmly in love and was also growing.
She continued, "Then do you know what the Buddha said your final destination is?"
He shook his head and said, "I didn't hear it."
"It's Nirvana. The Buddha didn't tell you, but I will tell you. You will be reborn in Nirvana, Moon."
He looked into her eyes full of sincerity and answered her solemnly: "Yes, I firmly believe it."
On the road to pursuing dreams, firm belief is forever.
When will Nirvana come? Shakyamuni did not give an answer.
But he and she both believed it.
It’s hard to tell the time, but time will give you the answer.
