Seeing her relieved expression, the team manager was overjoyed and immediately began to paint a rosy picture for her, saying that with Chen Que joining, their team would be even stronger, and the national championship this year would definitely be theirs, blah blah blah...
Ye Jiu didn't understand the e-sports circle, but she wasn't stupid either. Who could become a formal player without going through the process of integrating with a team? She interrupted the team manager.
"Stop, don't give me empty promises. I just want to ask one thing: will going in mean Shen Que will starve to death?" Ye Jiu's expression was serious; she was genuinely worried that Shen Que would starve to death if he couldn't find a job!
The team manager, Yu Cong, was stunned for a moment, then shook his head vigorously, "Absolutely not!! Someone as talented as him will definitely make a lot of money in the future! Not to mention making money, it's possible for him to have millions in savings."
Ye Jiu immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "Fine, I agree!"
Shen Que, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly brightened up and walked over to her side slowly, whispering, "Sister, I didn't mean to disobey you. It's just that your birthday is coming up soon, and I... I'm going to work as a substitute player to earn money so I can buy you a birthday present."
Hearing this, Ye Jiu felt even more that her child had grown up. Good heavens, her child's mind had actually come up with the idea of making money by boosting account numbers!
So, that year, he entered the Stars esports team's youth training camp, and she went to S University to study journalism and communication.
Four years have passed in the blink of an eye. He became a formal player for the Stars team and won one championship, two runner-up titles, and one third-place finish with the team.
What, you're asking why he didn't lead the team to victory? Because he's not very smart (euphemistically)... but he's obedient, quick-witted, and has ridiculously fast hand speed.
He plays the marksman position in the team, participated in two spring seasons and two summer seasons, and played very steadily. He is not outstanding, but he never loses points or gets caught out.
And because of his face, the team attracted countless fans who admired his looks.
In the same year, Ye Jiu graduated from university and found a job as an intern editor at a small newspaper.
——
Shen Que was rarely released from the base. Before she could spend much time with Ye Jiu, she was notified to go to school to take graduation photos. During the 20 minutes he waited for Ye Jiu, he stood outside the playground, eagerly waiting.
Shen Que is, after all, a public figure. Although he's not that famous, people kept pointing their phones at them along the way. Helpless, Ye Jiu took out a white mask from her pocket and put it on his face.
"You never remember to wear it when you go out. Do you even know you're a public figure?"
Chen Que's voice sounded a little muffled through the mask, "But it's uncomfortable to wear this."
"But it's even more uncomfortable to have someone pointing a camera at me..." Ye Jiu said helplessly. "Just bear with it for my sake, and pick them when we get home." Ye Jiu pressed down on his restless hand.
“Okay.” Shen Que took Ye Jiu’s hand. “Then I’ll hold your hand.”
“Okay.” Ye Jiu nodded. She didn’t know why Shen Que’s body was “warm in winter and cool in summer”. His body temperature was high in winter and low in summer. Ye Jiu especially liked to stick close to him in winter and summer. She couldn’t say that she was losing out.
"By the way, when are you leaving this time?" Ye Jiu suddenly remembered and asked casually, and Shen Que, who had just been in a good mood, immediately became dejected.
“Three days from now, and there’s another live stream in between.” Shen Que squeezed her hand, pouting, “Sister, I don’t want to do this anymore. I can only see you once in a long time.”
Ye Jiu covered his mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. You're in your prime. If you mention retiring, your team manager, Yu Cong, will cry so much that he'll flood our house."
Shen Que frowned upon hearing this and said seriously, "No, he can't cry that much, and I won't let him flood our house."
I can either plug his tear ducts or throw him far away.
Sigh, this child still doesn't understand exaggerated sentences, just like before.
Ye Jiu was too lazy to explain, "Anyway, just wait a little longer, I'll graduate soon, and then I can visit you more often."
Shen Que's eyes lit up. "Really?!" He then said shyly, "Then, sister, can you just stay at the base? I'll give you my room, and I don't need to sleep."
“You’re much more precious than me now.” Ye Jiu shook her head. “Your sleep is very valuable, isn’t it? You’re already tired enough from training for so long every day. If you give me your room, you won’t be able to sleep well.”
And putting everything else aside, their teammates would definitely mind too! What are they thinking? Such wishful thinking!
Shen Que was puzzled. He didn't need to sleep anyway; he just changed locations every night to continue playing games. The room was irrelevant to him.
He pursed his lips, feeling unwilling but not saying anything more. He thought, playing the game is meaningless, nothing is as interesting as being with my sister.
Since Shen Que became a professional gamer, his hands were very precious, so the task of cooking naturally fell to Ye Jiu. Despite being extremely lazy, she was forced to learn to cook for the sake of the two of them, and it was a long and tearful experience.
On the way home, they stopped at the supermarket to buy some groceries. Shen Que held her hand tightly, not wanting to let go. Ye Jiu was having trouble pushing the shopping cart with one hand, and Shen Que realized that the shopping cart was preventing him and Ye Jiu from getting close, so he took the shopping cart from Ye Jiu.
Strangely, the shopping cart that had been running wild in Ye Jiu's hands became perfectly well-behaved and stable in Shen Que's hands.
Since the shopping cart was no longer in her hands, Ye Jiu took Shen Que's hand and walked towards the fruit and vegetable section.
Do you want some lettuce?
"eat."
"Do you want some tomatoes?"
"eat."
"Do you want this?"
"eat."
Ye Jiu: ...
Ye Jiu put down the frying pan she was holding and tapped him on the head. "Can you even look up and see what I'm holding?"
From the moment they entered the supermarket, Shen Que kept staring at the two clasped hands, and sometimes even touched Ye Jiu's hand with both of his own.
