In winter, the warmth of the sun floats on the surface of the atmosphere. The wind in City Z is so cold that the occasional breeze gives the illusion of an ice blade cutting through your face.
But Jiang Zhi didn't seem to feel any of this.
She walked side by side with Shen Weiqi in a daze, feeling heavy-hearted, as if a stone was piled up in her heart with every step she took.
The joy that I had accumulated with great difficulty in the Internet cafe completely disappeared the moment I stepped out of the door.
Jiang Zhi was easily swallowed by fear. She felt as if her feet were filled with lead, and every step she took was painful.
By the time they reached the gate of Jiang Zhi's community, Jiang Zhi was almost breathless due to the pressure of the uncertain future.
Before she left home, her godmother Shang Xiao helped her persuade Meng Qian, but she didn't know how the persuasion went.
What if even Shang Xiao couldn't persuade Meng Qian? Would she never be able to play games again?
Shen Weiqi was also very cooperative and was surprisingly quiet along the way. When he reached the supermarket at the entrance of Jiangzhi Community, he stopped and said, "Let's go back."
Jiang Zhi paused, looked up at Shen Weiqi, and, as if mustering up great courage, solemnly called Shen Weiqi's name: "Shen Weiqi."
Shen Weiqi chuckled softly, his tone surprisingly gentle: "I'm here."
She pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and stared into Shen Weiqi's eyes: "Shen Weiqi, from now on, no matter whether I can become a professional player or not, I will always play games."
The little girl's eyes were firm, and her tone was serious and a little scary. Rather than saying that she was speaking these words to Shen Weiqi, it would be better to say that she was speaking them to give herself courage.
Shen Weiqi laughed even more wantonly, and his right hand unconsciously rubbed Jiang Zhi's head: "I believe you."
The three words "I believe you" are very ordinary, but at that moment they unexpectedly struck Jiang Zhi's heart.
It was as if she had just decided to put on 800 layers of cotton clothes to duel with the sudden frost, when suddenly, a beam of light shone in, most of the frost retreated, and the sunlight shone on her, warm and soft, and her whole body was redeemed by the sunlight.
A sour feeling rushed to the tear glands, and Jiang Zhi could clearly feel a circle of tears around her eyes.
Before she could speak to break the ambiguous atmosphere, the noise of some children suddenly sounded nearby, and the source of the sound gradually approached her.
Jiang Zhi looked down at the surroundings and saw that not far away, Wanzi, the neighbor's son, was walking out of the community gate surrounded by several children who were about the same height as him.
As they walked, Chibi Maruko kept talking to several children.
His voice was very loud and Jiang Zhi could hear it very clearly.
Maruko: "I didn't lie to you, I really got the autograph of a professional player."
One of the children laughed and said, "You're lying, Wanzi. We've never heard of that name before."
"Mills cheat people with long noses, long noses."
"Maruko is a liar."
Seeing that many of his friends didn't believe him, Wanzi seemed a little angry. He retorted in a soft and aggrieved voice: "We didn't lie to you. My signature is real. My neighbor's sister gave it to me."
"Your neighbor's sister isn't a professional player, so her autograph isn't worth much."
When someone said Jiang Zhi wasn't a professional player, Wan Zi immediately retorted, "Sister Zhizhi is amazing! One day she'll definitely become a professional player. By then, her autograph will be worth a fortune."
"So what if she's powerful? She's definitely not as powerful as me, the Chicken God."
"No, no, I am the strongest."
"I, I, I... I like Brother Mu Chongyang the most. He's the number one ADC in the LPL."
"None of your favorite pro players are as good as me, Chongshen. He looked so cool when he fought three people at once the other day."
"None of the professional players you like are as good as me, Squid. He's my favorite mid-lane player."
Several children were arguing over their favorites. Wanzi was furious and yelled, "Those professional players are not as good as Sister Zhizhi!"
Among the children, a little girl asked back: "How do you know?"
"I...I..." The more Wan Zi argued, the less confident she became. "I...I saw Sister Zhizhi fighting. She held the Chicken God's head down and beat him to the ground. She beat him so hard that one of his front teeth fell out."
In the world of children, they believe whatever you say, so Maru made up a story and several children actually believed it.
A few pairs of bright eyes are almost written with the word "worship".
"Wow, that's amazing."
"Maruko's sister Zhizhi is so strong. I really want to meet her."
"Pressing the Chicken God's head feels so good."
“That’s so cool…”
"Maruko, is your sister Zhizhi a superhero?"
Maruko held his little head high, with his nose pointed to the sky, and said proudly, "Of course, my sister Zhizhi is amazing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wanzi noticed Jiang Zhi's gaze not far away. He immediately jumped twice excitedly and pointed at the two people not far away: "Look, that girl is my sister Zhizhi."
The flames spread to herself, and Jiang Zhi was stunned for a moment. Before she could figure out how eating the melon had affected her.
Several children have gathered around Jiang Zhi.
Wan Zi looked up at her in the crowd and said, "Sister Zhizhi, please tell them that I didn't lie. You signed that autograph for me."
Jiang Zhi was puzzled: "What signature?"
"This." As he said that, Wanzi took out a square piece of white paper from his pocket and opened it carefully and reverently.
Revealing a string of English words written in black carbon pen.
——ITG, Destiny
In front of ITG's professional players, add the ITG team logo to yourself.
This gave Jiang Zhi the illusion that she was shamelessly flattering herself.
A feeling of shame spread throughout her body, and Jiang Zhi felt that she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes.
Goodness, when she signed, how could she not have imagined that Maru had another trick up his sleeve waiting for him.
Her mind went blank for a moment, and her body uncontrollably tried to snatch the signature back.
As soon as she reached out her hand, Wanzi quickly refolded the signature and put it back into her pocket.
As Wan Zi buttoned up his pocket, he said calmly, "Sister Zhizhi, do you remember? You signed it for me when you took me to play games that day."
Jiang Zhi: "..."
Of course she remembers.
But she would rather not remember.
Shen Weiqi, who had been silent for a long time, chuckled and said in a teasing tone, "ITG, Destiny?"
Jiang Zhi lowered his head in embarrassment and did not answer.
Shen Weiqi smiled brightly again and jokingly said, "You figured out an ID so quickly?"
Jiang Zhi was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"Something happened at home, I'm leaving first."
After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, she quickly ran away from Shen Weiqi.
Wanzi still didn't understand why Jiang Zhi left, and frowned slightly: "Why did Sister Zhizhi leave?"
"She," Shen Wei looked at Jiang Zhi's back as she left, and laughed even more wantonly: "Shame on her."
Just now, Wan Zi noticed the man who was speaking in front of him. He raised his head and stared at Shen Weiqi for a long time: "Brother, you look a lot like someone."
Shen Weiqi looked down at him and asked like a child, "Who is it, the Chicken God?"
"Yeah." Maruko nodded sullenly.
Shen Weiqi squatted down and was level with Wan Zi: "Then I will exchange the signature of the Chicken God with yours for the signature in your pocket, will you exchange it?"
Wanzi asked seriously: "Are you really the Chicken God? Is your signature real?"
Shen Weiqi smiled and said, "It's genuine."
Maru was a little hesitant. He didn't want to give it, but he couldn't stand the grumbling of his friends around him.
In the end, she obediently gave him the signature in her pocket.
Holding the autograph, Shen Weiqi first took a photo and then posted it on Weibo.
He was very tall, and the kids couldn't see what he posted.
All we could tell from his irrepressible smile was that he seemed to be in a good mood.
One of the kids asked at an inopportune moment, "Chicken God, Chicken God, Wanzi said that Sister Zhizhi hit you on the head, but you weren't hurt, were you?"
Shen Weiqi turned his eyes away from the phone, glanced at Jiang Zhi's fleeing back, then raised his hand and drew a few horizontal lines at the level of his jawline, raising the corner of his mouth mischievously: "She is so tall...she can't reach me."
Jiang Zhi fled to the community and only breathed a sigh of relief when she confirmed again and again that Shen Weiqi was not behind her.
She took a few more steps, picked up her cell phone, and prepared to ask about the situation at Jiang Sui's home.
If it gets too bad, she'll just hide outside for a while.
Perhaps because she was used to it, Jiang Zhi accidentally opened Weibo.
She was too lazy to turn it off, so after swiping a few times on the homepage, she went to check out the hot search list.
As she expected, the top trending searches were all about her, Shen Weiqi, Hao Che and Lin Chongan.
Jiang Zhi was too lazy to click in.
She didn't need to read it to know that the comments were definitely all flattery for Shen Weiqi and the other two, and all kinds of ridicule towards her.
Why would she want to make herself unhappy?
Scrolling down further, I saw a new hot search term that was rushing straight to the hot search list at a rapid speed.
——Chicken God officially announced the new members of ITG.
"Um?"
Did ITG recruit a new member? Why hadn't she heard Jiang Sui mention it before?
Out of curiosity.
Jiang Zhi clicked in.
Before I even turned the page, I saw a Weibo post from a pornographic influencer named ITG Yoke.
His Weibo is very simple.
Just a white picture and a string of text.
The picture is an animated picture. If you don’t click on it, you will always see a blank space.
Jiang Zhi clicked on the animated image, and within a few seconds, a signature written with a black carbon pen appeared in the center of the white background.
ITG, destiny.
The font is elegant, the strokes are firm, and each turn is slightly deepened.
It is said that handwriting reflects the writer's character. In these letters that are both strong and soft, one can vaguely feel the writer's boldness.
On this signature, Shen Weiqi did not say much, but just put a four-word copy.
——It’s my honor.
