Chapter 6
As the DTW event becomes more and more popular year by year, all major competition areas have made a lot of money, and DPL is no exception. The main stadium built on the bank of the Huangpu River in Shanghai is extremely luxurious both in appearance and interior.
As soon as Gu Yuan walked into the hall, a staff member came to greet him.
Almost everyone in the League of Legends e-sports circle knows him. The intern said excitedly, "Hello, Ruins. Are you coming to the All-Stars? This way, please."
Gu Yuan nodded politely: "Thank you, I'll wait for the team members."
The young man immediately responded: "No problem, no problem, I'll take you to walk the red carpet when SEA arrives."
"Hey, Chief Gu!"
Huang Heran trotted over from behind and said to Gu Yuan, "Was that Night just now?"
Gu Yuan said “hmm”.
"Oh my goodness, so you wanted to get off first to meet Night, but why didn't he go with XY..."
Seeing that there were outsiders around, Huang Heran stopped the second half of the sentence and said, "Sui Ran and Jiang Yiwen went to the bathroom. Let's wait for a while."
Gu Yuan: "Okay."
While they were waiting, a few familiar faces suddenly walked in from outside the door.
It’s XY’s person.
XY manager Liang Wenxi looked around and asked, "Ah Huang, have you seen Night?"
Without waiting for Huang Heran to speak, Gu Yuan said calmly, "He just went in."
Liang Wenxi was stunned for a moment before he said, "Oh, OK, I'll go find him right away. Thank you, God Gu."
Gu Yuan didn't say anything else.
After all the people from XY entered, Huang Heran touched Gu Yuan's arm and said, "Captain Gu, I didn't realize that you paid so much attention to Night before."
Gu Yuan: "Didn't you ask me to look after him?"
Huang Heran: “Ah?”
Then he remembered that he had indeed said that Night would attend the All-Star Weekend with XY's teammates, and he had already told XY that Night was going to transfer, and asked Gu Yuan to keep an eye on him.
"Too."
Huang Heran said, "If there is a problem with XY's management... Damn, I'm afraid they will take action on Night's contract. No, I have to find the best legal team and get him here no matter what."
Gu Yuan said "hmm".
Huang Heran turned around and said, "As soon as the All-Stars are over, I will talk to XY and ask Night to move to the base as soon as possible. Oh, by the way, are you going home for the holiday this year?"
Gu Yuan's grandparents and parents are all university professors. Every year, the holiday after the DPL finals coincides with the university winter vacation, so Gu Yuan's parents often take the elderly out for vacation.
During the holiday before joining SEA last year, Gu Yuan did not travel with them, but stayed at the base.
So Huang Heran asked him about his plans for this year.
Gu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I haven't decided yet. Let's see in two days."
"OK."
Huang Heran said, "But I guess Night will stay at the base during this period. I heard that he never went home when he was in XY. Liang Wenxi talked about it before. He said that his family situation is very complicated. Night is quite miserable. He used all his first year's salary to pay off his parents' debts."
Gu Yuan was stunned.
Huang Heran shrugged. "I feel bad for leaving him alone at the base for so long when he just arrived at SEA. I'll see what happens when the time comes. If it doesn't work, I'll come back a few more times."
Jiang Yiwen and Sui Ran walked over from a distance, and Huang Heran ended the topic.
"Let's go."
His expression returned to joy: "Come on, big star Chief Gu, let's walk on the red carpet."
-
The first part of the All-Star show is walking the red carpet. A long red carpet has been laid out in the middle of the venue. All contestants must walk through it before entering, take photos and sign autographs in front of the white curtain at the end, and then go to the audience seats.
Usually, e-sports players have to wear team uniforms no matter they are playing games or participating in activities. Naturally, they cannot match the temperament set off by suits. What's more, DPL has several star players who are already very good-looking.
The moment XY's team members entered the frame, the shutter lights of the cameras on both sides began to flash continuously, and the heat of the live broadcast room instantly rose.
[Wife! Wife, wife, wife!!!]
[Fuck Night's figure and face, long-haired beauty hissing hissing. ]
[I haven’t seen Night live since the World Finals. Finally! My wife is still wearing formal clothes!!]
[My good mood for the day starts with seeing my wife. Help me, my wife has become more beautiful after not seeing her for a long time. ]
Su Zheye was walking alone at the end of the team, quite far away from everyone else. Liang Wenxi was afraid that the marketing account would spread rumors again, and he happened to have something to say to Su Zheye, so he came to him.
"Night."
Liang Wenxi lowered his voice: "The SEA manager said you are going to join their team, is that true?"
Su Zheye: “Yeah.”
Although it was already a done deal, Liang Wenxi still felt disappointed after hearing Su Zheye say it himself: "Why? Not really... I support your choice, but you didn't tell us before you went for the tryout. You didn't give us any room for maneuver. XY can give you a raise, and we can try to change you if you don't like the position. Why didn't you discuss it with us?"
If it was just a problem with the supporting position, he could ask the management to change people, but the entire management team has been infiltrated...
Su Zheye smiled and said nothing.
Liang Wenxi continued to ask: "Is there something wrong at home and you are short of money, or did you have a conflict with Straw? I was not there that day, but I heard that you wanted to beat him up. Tell me what's going on and I'll help you solve it."
"nothing."
Su Zheye said calmly: "I just simply want to go to SEA."
Liang Wenxi added: "But SEA is the jungle core, and Gu Yuan's play style is not suitable for you. They have always played as a tool in the middle lane. Even if they don't replenish the soldiers, they have to accompany Gu Yuan to roam and support..."
"——This way, please. Everyone, take a group photo, then sign on the white cloth and you can enter."
When the staff's voice sounded, Liang Wenxi immediately shut up and then took a photo with other people from XY.
Su Zheye didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he scribbled his signature and walked in first.
After entering the venue, he realized that the giant cursive signature he had just signed was a habit he would have two years later, and was completely different from the signature style he should have at this point in time.
At that time, as his popularity grew, he had too many signatures to sign. Although the five letters of "Night" were not complicated, he was too lazy to write them properly, so he asked someone to design a one-stroke signature.
It doesn't matter.
Anyway, there is no Pulsefire here except him, and no one knows that his signature will appear in two years.
As soon as XY’s people entered the venue, SEA arrived, and the already popular live broadcast room soared again.
[Fuck, why is SEA following right after XY? Just after watching the wife, she's now watching the husband. ]
[Double crit, I wanted to watch the recording of Night's super topic again, but Gu Shen came (licking the screen)]
[Commander Gu’s looks are so stunning, he also has a good figure and temperament. Why don’t you make a career in the entertainment industry? Then I can see you wearing formal clothes every day QAQ]
[Hahahahaha, the heights of SEA players are really uneven. Ueno and Fu are so tall that XiaoY looks too small.]
"Grass."
Lu Yang seemed to notice this, half-raising his face, and muttered, "Why are you all so tall?"
Jiang Yiwen glanced at him and said, "I sent you the link to the height-increasing pads a few days ago, but you didn't buy it. You deserve it."
Lu Yang: "Who the hell puts height-increasing pads in their leather shoes?"
Jiang Yiwen: "Then you can be your dwarf."
Lu Yang: "Go away."
"alright."
Gu Yuan said, "The camera will pick up your conversation if it gets closer."
A camera with a flashing red light gradually approached from the right front, and Lu Yang and Jiang Yiwen closed their mouths at the same time.
Following the same process, everyone from SEA walked to the white curtain, stood in position at the signal of the staff, and then took a group photo.
"well."
Lu Yang sighed: "It would be great if Brother Chen was here."
Jiang Yiwen rarely confronted him, but lowered his voice and said, "It would be better if Brother Xie was still here."
Lu Yang let out another long sigh.
[SEA is really not used to the absence of S God, is he really going to retire...]
[It's already a done deal. A few days ago, a fan ran into S-god in the hospital. It depends on who SEA will find to take over the mid lane.]
[Who can take over and match the mid-jungle synergy of Ruins and Serein? What other top mid laners are there in DPL? 】
[Night, it depends on whether XY will let me go.]
[How could XY let him go? Besides, after losing to SEA in the summer finals last year, Night threatened to fight back next year. It is impossible for him to leave.]
[That’s right, we can only say that it was a close loss last year, and XY is not weaker than SEA. ]
[Alas, both of them are top-notch handsome guys, it would be great if they were on the same team. ]
[I want to, but it’s definitely impossible in reality. ]
[Chief Gu's hands are also very beautiful. Hey, why did he suddenly become dazed? ]
"Huh?"
Lu Yang also noticed that Gu Yuan stopped signing halfway and stood on tiptoe: "What's wrong, Captain?"
Without waiting for Gu Yuan to reply, he followed Gu Yuan's gaze, was stunned, and then said: "Captain, are you looking at Night's signature? What's wrong?"
"His handwriting is really wild and beautiful, but it's pretty nice."
Jiang Yiwen said casually: "It just feels a little different, who knows."
"Why do you care about Night's signature?"
Lu Yang turned his head quickly, with a look of alertness on his face: "Do you want to go and help them?"
"No way."
Jiang Yiwen pouted: "My sister is a huge fan of him. There are a lot of his posters hanging in the house. Every time I go to her room, I see Night's signature everywhere. It's hard to forget."
While the two chatted, Gu Yuan had already completed the remaining signatures and said, "Let's go."
Lu Yang responded: "Okay, Captain."
Gu Yuan put the marker back into the frame next to it, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Night's signature again, and then walked into the main stadium with other SEA members.
The staff took them to the bottom of the stage and sat them down in the seats arranged in advance for each team.
XY was in the front row of SEA. Gu Yuan looked over and saw that everyone was there except Su Zheye.
And the empty seat was right in front of him.
They arrived not too late, so they sat and chatted while waiting for other teams to take their seats.
The seat in front of him remained empty until the countdown to the opening ceremony of the All-Star Weekend started on the big screen, and then Su Zheye came back.
Lu Yang beside him sat up straight and stared at Su Zheye.
But Su Zheye ignored him, or rather, no one paid any attention to him. He walked back to his seat with an expressionless face.
The floral scent mixed with the smell of cigarettes lingered faintly at the tip of his nose, and Gu Yuan's eyes fell on the long light brown hair that fell softly on the back of the chair.
He remembered that the perfume Su Zheye wore today was not strong, so how come he could still smell it from such a distance?
The awards ceremony of the All-Star Weekend is on the second day. The order of the first day is the Freshman Challenge, Solo Elimination Round and Finals, and finally the All-Star Game.
There was nothing to do in the first few hours, and Gu Yuan didn't chat with anyone much, so he sat upright and watched the game on the big screen.
As time went on, people became a little bored during the breaks in the games. Lu Yang suddenly muttered something in his ear, but the word "Su Zheye" came out, and Gu Yuan's gaze couldn't help but fall on Su Zheye's back.
He also only has the main competition on the entry list.
She looked even more bored than herself, with her arms resting on the armrests and her long, white knuckles twirling her hair in boredom.
The lights in the venue were dim, and Gu Yuan noticed that Su Zheye's hair color was a little brown, but it didn't look like it was dyed, it must be natural.
Just like his eye color, light and faint, he always gives a pure and clean feeling when he looks directly at you. With the smooth long hair falling on the side of his face, people will feel that he is gentle and easy to get along with.
It's just that my personality is completely opposite to that.
-
Although everyone has to wear formal attire during the All-Stars, they still need to wear team uniforms during the game.
The solo finals are about to end, and several contestants participating in the All-Star Game are going backstage to change clothes.
Lu Yang didn't know where he had thrown his phone, and looked everywhere for it. Gu Yuan was waiting for him.
In the front row, Su Zheye suddenly stood up.
Gu Yuan instinctively raised his head and saw that the boy in front of him had no expression on his face. His clear and graceful profile was now covered with a layer of coldness, and even his light-colored eyes were enough to rival the temperature of the ice and snow outside the window.
He didn't speak to anyone in XY and walked out of here alone.
Lu Yang's movement to look for his cell phone under the front seat suddenly stopped, as if he was shocked by Su Zheye's cold temperament.
After a moment, he muttered quietly: "Why are you so fierce?"
However, as soon as he raised his head, he suddenly met Gu Yuan's gaze.
Although Gu Yuan's eyes remained calm, Lu Yang inexplicably felt that he was not satisfied with his muttering, so he quickly made a zipper-pulling gesture.
After Lu Yang found his phone, Gu Yuan went backstage with him.
Su Zheye has already changed into the official team uniform, which is red and white, exactly the opposite of his own team's blue and white.
At this moment, he was standing alone in the corner, leaning his head back against the wall and closing his eyes to rest.
Her long hair falls behind her ears, smooth as silk, with a few strands falling on her shoulders.
The boy's profile is very good-looking, with a kind of feminine softness. When he closes his eyes, he looks gentle.
Gu Yuan suddenly thought of the situation at Su Zheye's home that Huang Heran had inadvertently mentioned when he entered the scene.
So after changing his clothes, Gu Yuan walked over to Su Zheye, seeing that he was still standing alone in the shadows.
Sensing the movement around him, Su Zheye opened his eyes.
He seemed to be a little sleepy. His voice was a little lazy, and the ending tone rose slightly: "Commander Gu?"
Gu Yuan: “Yeah.”
After a moment, he continued, "I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. I've already told my teammates that something like this won't happen again."
Su Zheye raised his eyebrows slightly.
I just picked a fight on purpose out of bad taste, but Gu Yuan still remembers it?
Or did he really feel guilty about his feigned anger?
What a saintly heart.
This person... is really interesting.
Su Zheye curled his lips and smiled: "It doesn't matter, I forgot it a long time ago."
Gu Yuan said “hmm”.
The air fell silent, and many contestants were secretly glancing over here.
Come to think of it, no matter whether people are in the circle or outside the circle, they all feel that he and Gu Yuan have a bad relationship, and fans of both sides will engage in verbal battles from time to time.
Su Zheye suddenly felt a little excited. When SEA officially announced his joining at the end of the transfer period, what a sensation it would cause in the e-sports circle.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered something.
Su Zheye turned his head and said, "Commander Gu, I want to ask you something."
Gu Yuan: “Yeah.”
Su Zheye lowered his voice and said, "I heard that FEL sent you a tryout invitation letter."
Gu Yuan’s expression paused.
Su Zheye said bluntly: "That idiot just told me that."
Gu Yuan was stunned for a second by such blunt swear words.
Then his mind emerged the scene at the entrance of the stadium where the Korean reporter said "I'm leaving now" and the hint of coldness and anger on Su Zheye's face.
No wonder Su Zheye wanted to retaliate.
Gu Yuan did not deny it: "Yes, FEL contacted me privately."
Su Zheye: "What does Gu Shen intend?"
Gu Yuan was silent for a few seconds, then said calmly, "I agree with Night's idea."
"Huh?"
Su Zheye was curious: "Did they also tell you that DCK contacted me?"
"No."
Gu Yuan said calmly, "I guessed. The DCK reporter certainly didn't know that you came to SEA for a tryout, so in his eyes we are competitors. Then he told you that FEL invited me for a tryout, so he must have some ulterior motive with this news. I think he was trying to persuade you to go to DCK as well."
Gu Yuan continued: "Is it RCG? They are in need of a mid laner, and last year they lost badly to you in the mid lane."
Exactly the same.
"yes."
Su Zheye sneered: "In addition to mocking the all-Chinese team, they also want to restrict us from coming back to participate in the Olympics for the Chinese team. Without you and me, DCK will definitely win the Olympic championship. Sima Zhao's intentions are really disgusting."
DCK has been looking down on DPL and mocking the all-Chinese team for a long time. Su Zheye started playing professionally earlier than himself, and Gu Yuan can understand his feelings very well.
"rest assured."
He said calmly: "I will not leave DPL."
A staff member came to call the contestants to the stage. Gu Yuan was about to say something, but the boy who had a sarcastic look on his face suddenly curved his eyes and smiled innocently: "I came to SEA just for Gu Shen. It's great that Gu Shen doesn't leave."
