Why are you here?
During the small-game settlement phase, the MVP_moon selected in the last game appeared on the big screen on the stage. The boy's domineering makeup photo and the domineering "Five Consecutive Worlds" next to it complemented each other.
Everyone raised their devices to take pictures.
Lin Yueqin also subconsciously took out her mobile phone and took a live photo from a dark corner.
"Hey, how do you pronounce that word?" Qin Miaomu suddenly came closer.
"Um?"
"As for Moon's name, that character is so uncommon! It's so unfriendly to people like us." She pouted and complained.
Qin Miaomu pointed to the real name added after the contestant ID displayed on the big screen - Jiang Gao.
Lin Yueqin sneered, "'Draft', that word is pronounced Gao, Jiang Gao."
"Wow! You even know this word!" Qin Miaomu looked at her with admiration.
Post-match interview session:
"Now, let's invite FD Moon and Chang Yan to the stage for an interview!"
…
Host Shui Jin: "Okay, let's ask contestant Changyan first! This is your first time in many years making it to the finals. How are you feeling right now?"
"Well, of course I'm very excited. After all, there's only one step left!" Changyan answered with the composure of a veteran player.
…
"Okay, then let's ask Moon. Moon successfully made it to the finals in his first KPL season. What are his thoughts now?" Shui Jin smiled and looked at him.
"The idea is to keep working hard and win the next game." His tone was as calm as if he was giving an ordinary regular season interview.
"Wow!" Just a few words aroused the emotions of all the fans in the audience.
"Moon, you're incredibly confident. Let's ask you about today's game. We started off on a losing note. With the score down 2-0 and the third game starting against a disadvantage, do you think this had an impact on you? Did you feel a bit of psychological pressure, Moon?"
"No, if I focus on the game itself, I won't have time to think about so many things." Jiang Gao paused and added, "Now that I think about it, it's indeed quite stressful." He said in a calm tone,
There was laughter from the audience.
"In the third game, when the opponent pushed into the crystal from three fronts, we know that your Gongsun Li chose to go around from behind. What was your consideration at that time?"
"If I hadn't gone out to look for opportunities, I would have given up on the competition. Giving up and being afraid are very easy things to do. Everyone will do it in an instant. Only by not giving up can you have a chance, no matter how slim or worrying it is. Only by giving it a try can you avoid regrets."
The whole audience burst into applause, cheering and being moved.
"Okay, so today we also witnessed Moon get his first pentakill in his career. How do you feel?"
"Mood? Hmm...quite calm."
"Oh~"
"I feel like getting a pentakill is pretty easy." He said with a serious expression.
Damn it, he’s been tricked again.
Lin Yueqin couldn't help but smile when she heard that. It was indeed common to get a pentakill when playing in a duo with him.
"But a pentakill in a professional arena is still very valuable. It's considered a career achievement. So, Moon, do you have anything to say to Garo, who helped you get the pentakill?"
"Garro, wait for dawn."
The short text was unexpectedly funny and humorous, and the audience couldn't help laughing.
Lin Yueqin sat in the back row of the stage, looking in the darkness at the young man standing tall on the stage, wearing a white team uniform.
He is like a tree, a towering birch tree, standing unyieldingly.
He said wait till dawn.
Dawn breaks, the light emerges from darkness.
After a dark night, the morning light appears. Gao means bright.
That's his name.
The interview on the stage continued, and Lin Yueqin came back to her senses from her thoughts.
"Yes, champion." Jiang Gao, who had been expressionless just now, now looked much more determined and even a little sharp.
But it's all the confidence and arrogance of a teenager.
"Wow! We have to win the championship!"
"Changyan wins FMVP!"
The audience below kept echoing and encouraging them, and they left the stage amid cheers.
The boy's brief words fully demonstrated his ambition, confidence, and optimism.
Lin Yueqin looked at the back of the young man leaving the stage,
Nodding secretly, she admired the young man in front of her.
The goal is the championship, the goal is only the championship.
Stride forward, walk forward with high spirits,
Lin Yueqin made a decision in her heart.
Yes, it is too easy to be afraid and give up. We are still young and have the courage to be praised by the world to overcome all the uncertainties and defeat the simple thing of fear without leaving any regrets.
Zhang Yang and Ming Mei belong to the age of eighteen.
She didn't come to this game in vain.
After the interview, the audience quickly packed up and left, some even ran out in a flash.
Lin Yueqin was surprised. "Is there a set time for leaving here? Why are they in such a hurry to leave?"
"Hahaha, no, they rushed out to pick up the players from get off work!" Qin Miaomu was not in a hurry now. On the one hand, POP lost today, and they had returned to the base when FD was interviewed. On the other hand, she was too tired today, and she was exhausted.
So the two of them slowly packed up their things and prepared to leave.
At this moment, her cell phone suddenly lit up in the dim venue.
Jiang Gao: [We've made it to the finals]
Of course she knew he won today,
Lin Yueqin: [Wow! Congratulations!]
Now that they're both at the same venue, should we meet? But I'm worried they might have something to do after the game, so it wouldn't be a good idea to meet them hastily.
So, she asked tentatively:
[Do you guys go back to base after the game? ]
Jiang Gao: [We should go out for dinner. We need to celebrate reaching the finals. I think our manager said he'd treat us.]
They just won the game and it was time for them to have a meal with their teammates and coach to celebrate.
Then don't disturb their dinner. Anyway, he didn't know she was coming to the venue today.
She suppressed the impulse that had just arisen.
[Well, you've worked hard today, how about rewarding yourself, our pentakill player?]
【？ How do you know? 】
Lin Yueqin thought for a moment and typed, [Of course I saw it on Weibo, it’s quite popular], then put away her phone.
"Sister, are you hungry? I'm so hungry!" Qin Miaomu rubbed her stomach and asked with blinking eyes.
I just realized now that I haven't eaten since noon, and I'm really a little hungry.
"A little, but what can I eat now?" She looked at the time. It was already 11 o'clock in the evening after the game, and the nearby restaurants should be closed.
"Haha, Haidilao!" Qin Miaomu blinked.
In the end, the two chose to go to Haidilao, but there was a long queue of people closest to the venue, most of whom were probably fans who had just finished watching the game. They even took a taxi to a farther place.
The taxi-hailing app was extremely busy at night, and they waited for a long time before a driver finally accepted the order.
Finally, they entered a small private room and sat down. Lin Yueqin took out her phone and sent a message: [What did your manager treat you to?]
Jiang Gao took a photo and sent it over.
Such a familiar four-square grid, it can’t be such a coincidence!
Definitely not, this place is too far away, and they seem to have been eating for a long time. He silently denied his outrageous suspicion.
[You guys made it to the finals, so you celebrated at Haidilao?] She couldn't help but tease,
It's too late
Before he could send a message, Lin Yueqin also sent a picture, [What a coincidence, I'm eating at Haidilao too! ]
So late? With colleagues?
Yes, he didn’t know he was coming to watch the game.
I guess so.
After ordering the dishes, the two of them left the room and went to the condiments counter.
"Tonight's game is so exciting!" Before I even got close, I heard the discussion coming from the front.
"Oh my god! That's FD!" Qin Miaomu stared at the two men standing in front of the small condiments counter. One was wearing the familiar FD uniform, and the other was wearing simple black casual clothes with a badge around his neck. He must be an accompanying staff member.
Lin Yueqin's face froze instantly, her steps slowed down, and she pulled the brim of her hat even lower.
No way, what a coincidence?
Lin Yueqin approached as if nothing had happened, pretending to look intently at the condiment table in front of her.
"Wow, a naughty boy? The FD jungler naughty boy?" Qin Miaomu's reaction was completely opposite to hers. He rushed forward to greet him carelessly.
Before the other party could reply, "Ahahaha, what a coincidence! We just finished watching your game! And we actually ran into each other here!"
"You guys played really well tonight!"
"Thank you! Are you two the only ones here?" The naughty boy looked back at Lin Yueqin who was hiding behind him. She lowered her head and quickly prepared the seasoning, completely ignoring the conversation next to her.
"Ah, yes!"
"Then please be careful and we will go in first!"
"Oh, okay, good luck in the competition!"
"Thank you, we will." The two bowed slightly to them and then went into the private room next to them.
Lin Yueqin didn't look up the whole time and joined in the action, "I'm done, let's go in first!
Lin Yueqin sat back in the private room, completely bewildered. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
Ignoring the bubbling soup base, he picked up the phone and actually laughed.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Yueqin stopped eating, took out the air cushion from her bag, used the built-in mirror to tidy up her hair, and touched up her makeup. At this moment, she regretted not putting on a delicate full makeup with Qin Miaomu in the morning.
Put on the mask again,
Send a message [Have you finished eating? ]
Jiang Gao: [? I'm done eating. They're drinking, so it should be a while.] The other party replied almost instantly.
Lin Yueqin looked at the phone screen, her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and a bold idea came to her mind.
[Do you want to go to the bathroom now? ]
【?What's the meaning】
[You can go to the toilet now to get some fresh air.]
Jiang Gao stared at the message on his phone with puzzled eyes, his brows full of confusion.
After typing the words with his fingers, he decided to get up.
"You don't want to eat? Who are you chatting with?" Qin Miaomu stared at her sister who looked a little strange at the moment.
He kept looking down at his phone, with a particularly obvious message appearing in the corner of his eye.
"No one, um...I'm going to the bathroom!"
"Yeah, okay!"
Lin Yueqin pushed open the door.
The air froze in an instant, and their eyes met in the air, and time seemed to stop.
A flicker of surprise crossed Jiang Gao's usually calm face. He glanced down at his phone screen, then suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes filled with disbelief and confusion.
The two were two meters apart.
Lin Yueqin's face was flushed under the mask. She didn't say anything, but just raised her head and indicated the exit with her eyes.
Haidilao was on the third floor of the shopping mall. Jiang Gao followed her to a stairwell that few people used.
The two men came to the corner of the stairs and stood face to face, half a meter apart. One of them lowered his head, and the other glanced around.
"Why...are you here?" Jiang Gao couldn't help but ask, his hoarse voice emitting a hint of surprise from his throat.
"I came to watch the game with my friends." Her voice sounded a little muffled because of the thick mask.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Jiang Gao pursed his lips and asked in a puzzled tone.
"Because it was a last-minute decision, and don't you want to compete?" Lin Yueqin looked up at him.
The two finally looked into each other's eyes again.
