It was past three in the morning when Lin Meng arrived home. Lin Sitian seemed to have arrived earlier, her high heels lying in the entrance. The house was dark and silent, everyone fast asleep.
The Porsche 911 is fast.
Lin Meng leaned against the wall and let out a long breath.
So tired.
It's not just physical fatigue.
She recalled Yu Mo's expression at that time, and she was indeed hurt. Although her goal was achieved, she was not very happy, and even felt that her efforts were particularly hypocritical.
She fell on the bed without changing her clothes and had a dream after falling asleep.
In her dream, she returned to the time when she was sixteen.
At that time, no one cared about her and she was out all day. It happened that BOD had become a professional e-sports game, and young people playing BOD could be seen everywhere in Internet cafes. Some people set up a competition arena and the loser had to pay money.
There is no such thing as the big bullying the small in e-sports. High school students and middle school students can play against each other just the same. Lin Meng was dragged in to make up the numbers because one of the players in their group of third graders failed the test and was kept after school to copy words.
The group of high school boys were so confident of winning and the stakes were quite high, 300 yuan per person, which was almost as much as a student's monthly living expenses at that time. Both sides were very cautious and started fighting after getting ready.
Because she was a girl, Lin Meng was asked to play quartermaster. She took a look at the job description and said, "I don't want to play this."
"You've never played BOD before, so playing other games will easily drag you down!"
Lin Meng: "I'm very good at both Bubble Hall and Karts."
"BOD is much more difficult than those. As a newbie, you're lucky to be able to play the nanny well."
Lin Meng had no choice but to play a game with the quartermaster, and was unsurprisingly beaten by the opponent.
Several C-position players gathered together, frantically analyzing their strategies. Lin Meng then asked directly, "Why can't you hit the target?"
"How can I fight him when he's hiding behind cover? I don't have X-ray vision."
"But didn't he stick his head out when he was aiming?"
"That was just a few seconds?"
"Then why didn't you fight him when he rushed towards you?"
"How can I hit him when he keeps moving around? It's hard to aim!"
Lin Meng was silent for two seconds before giving his conclusion: "You're too weak."
The sniper was angry: "If you can do it, go ahead."
Lin Meng: "Okay."
The other person laughed in anger: "She actually said yes! I think she can't even tell east from west when she goes there."
Lin Meng sat down and put on his headphones, ignoring their sarcasm, took the sniper position, familiarized himself with the key positions, and the second game began.
The second game ended with Lin Meng getting a pentakill, which took ten minutes.
His teammates were shocked: "How the hell did you do that?"
Lin Meng said casually: "Shoot if you see it."
It felt like every one of the six words was extremely difficult. The opponent didn't believe it and asked to check the plug-in. After a long commotion, no one could find out what was going on, so the third game started again. Lin Meng changed to the vanguard position, took the □□ and went up to face the opponent, exchanging four for one, leaving one artilleryman for his teammate, and won again.
They won by best of three games, according to the rules. However, the high school student on the other side was not happy and clamored to continue playing, saying that professional matches were all best-of-five. Lin Meng clapped his hands and logged off the computer, saying calmly, "We'll lose anyway if we continue. Don't waste your time. Just give me the money."
Maybe it was because her attitude was too sarcastic, but she angered five people at once. They picked up wine bottles and started beating her. Lin Meng reacted very quickly and ran away.
Unfortunately, she was a person with extremely poor motor skills. As soon as she crossed the road, she tripped over her left foot and fell flat on her face.
She fell and her legs became weak for a while. She thought to herself that it was no wonder that the doctor said she was calcium deficient and told her to drink more milk.
At this time, people caught up.
Lin Meng finally felt scared.
But before the fear could spread to her face, she saw a tall and thin man walking towards her.
The man was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, with a waist and legs, like a walking clothes rack, handsome and eye-catching.
Although he looked young, he stood out among the other students. One could tell at a glance that he was already a mature and steady adult. His aura was overwhelming, not to mention... his skills were also very good.
Lin Meng always felt that she had seen him on TV, but she couldn't remember who he was for a while.
So after the other party helped her out, she shamelessly asked him to borrow money to buy a bottle of milk.
"I'll pay you back when I get my living expenses." She said while biting the straw.
"No need." The man smiled gently: "Have you considered coming here to play professionally?"
Lin Meng opened his eyes, the three words "playing professionally" were still ringing in his ears, deafening.
She suddenly had an idea: maybe she was too extreme.
E-sports is only temporary, but engagement is for a lifetime. Perhaps anyone would choose engagement.
Then her attitude towards Yu Mo...isn't it too much? After all, apart from this incident, Yu Mo really has done nothing wrong to her.
You could even say...I've always been nice to her.
Thinking of Yu Mo's expression last night, she turned over irritably and took out her cell phone from under the pillow.
Having added Yu Mo on WeChat but never responding to him, Lin Meng hesitated for a moment and started a voice call with Yu Mo.
Yu Mo was quite surprised when the clock rang when he returned to the base.
"So early?"
"Yeah." Yu Mo said, "If I stay for another half a day, my mother will be so excited that she will burn the house down." He put his cell phone on the table to charge it, and took out a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts and put it on the table. A group of team members came over after smelling the smell.
While they were eating chestnuts, Yu Mo pulled Zhong Xiang aside and reported what happened last night.
Zhong Xiang was shocked. "You're only reporting this to me now!" He said anxiously, "If we don't catch it, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Luckily, we managed to get through it." Yu Mo smiled and said, "We'll try to avoid cooperating with platforms like this in the future. But I guess after this incident, no one from the local team will have anything to do with them anymore."
Zhong Xiang was still apprehensive: "I still think you were too impulsive in this matter. What if he leaves evidence and sues you for life?"
Yu Mo didn't care: "I won't let him walk out of that door standing."
Zhong Xiang's face was filled with disgust. "You're in your twenties now, can't you be a little more mature? Saying things like that doesn't do any good other than appearing particularly immature."
Yu Mo: "You mean you look down on me, the Tianchi bully?"
Zhong Xiang: "Come on, there aren't many kids fighting in wealthy areas anyway. Besides, your parents spent so much money to send you to practice various martial arts, weren't they training you to be a gangster, young master?"
Yu Mo: "Is it to cultivate one's sentiments?"
Seeing his unrepentant look, Zhong Xiang gasped and crossed his arms in confusion, "This is unlike you, Silence. Tell me the truth, do you like that substitute?"
From yesterday to today, this topic has been mentioned by several people and it is simply haunting them. Before Yu Mo could answer, a group of players who were eager to watch the fun rushed over.
"What?! The captain likes substitutes?"
"All the substitutes here are men, right?"
"Damn, I like substitutes more than I like Star God!"
"Go!" Xiao Xingheng spat, "I think he's talking about his former substitute at Kars, a very fierce little girl."
The whole team was shocked: "Oh???"
Panda: "A professional girl!"
A-Lu: “Cultivate it!”
Yu Mo: “…”
He really didn't like this kind of evaluation, as if he had some ulterior motive in bringing Lin Meng into the industry.
"Closure to your imagination." He said with a hint of anger: "16 years old, not even an adult. I'm not a pedophile, thank you!"
At this time, the old man sitting on the sofa interrupted and said, "Captain, are you done talking? There's a call from you—eh?" He stared at the phone screen for two seconds: "Why did he hang up?"
Yu Mo paused for two seconds, then suddenly seemed to realize something. He rushed over in two steps, snatched the phone from Lao Mai's hand, and glanced at the message notification.
There was dead silence all around.
Lao Mai suddenly panicked: "Captain, I...I didn't know I couldn't answer it for you."
Yu Mo shook his head, thought for a moment, and then sent a message to Lin Meng.
E_silence: [Don't get me wrong]
Lin Meng replied quickly.
Lin Meng: [What did I misunderstand?]
E_silence: [I have no intentions towards you.]
Lin Meng: [You don't have to say it again.]
E_silence: [Then you treat me...]
Lin Meng: [Me too.]
Yu Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
E_silence: [That's about playing professionally.]
Lin Meng: [When I say the same, I mean now.]
E_silence: [What?]
Lin Meng: [I admit, I went to Kars because of you.]
Yu Mo's head buzzed.
Lin Meng: [So now, there’s no need.]
E_silence: [Wait! I don't understand. Lin Meng, I'll call you and we can talk it out over the phone.]
Lin Meng: [No need, that's clear enough.]
Yu Mo wanted to send a message, but it showed that he needed to add a friend. He froze, his mind in a mess.
Memory is like a piece of intact glass, which was shattered into pieces in an instant.
He walked back along the starlight and discovered many different things.
These things shocked him, caught him off guard, and even made him feel a little...heartbroken.
His fingers twitched, and the phone suddenly slipped from his palm, falling to the ground with a "bang".
The bell rang: "Silence?"
Yu Mo didn't answer. He squatted down to pick it up, but failed several times. His five fingers were curled up irregularly, and his wrist was trembling slightly.
The extreme pain and loss of control in his memory came flooding back, making him unable to tell whether it was an illusion or reality. He suddenly reached out his other hand to grasp his wrist.
Zhong Xiang's expression changed slightly: "Silence, what's wrong with you? Does your hand hurt?"
Everyone in Team E was startled when these words came out. Xiao Xingheng rushed over first, squatted down, and asked, "What's going on?" He glanced at Yu Mo's fingertips, which were still trembling even though they were being held down, and frowned, "Is it a relapse of an old injury?"
"No." Yu Mo shook his hands. He lowered his head, his bangs obscuring the expression between his eyebrows and eyes. He stood up indifferently: "I'm sleepy. I'll go upstairs first."
He avoided Xiao Xingheng's touch, went upstairs and closed the door, leaving a group of people in the hall looking at each other in confusion.
"What do you mean by recurrence of an old injury?" Panda turned around and asked Zhong Xiang, "Has the captain been injured before?"
Zhong rang: "I don't know!"
Ah Lu angrily said, "What do you mean you don't know? Aren't you the team manager?"
Zhong Xiang felt extremely aggrieved: "I was also hired by Silence to work here! Star God has known him longer than I have!" After saying that, he immediately looked at Xiao Xingheng: "Star God, you speak."
Xiao Xingheng was speechless. He pulled a chair over and sat down, crossing his arms with a serious expression.
A-Lu: "Star God, please speak!"
Panda: "I'm so anxious."
The old man stepped forward solemnly: "Star God, when Team E was formed, the captain told us that we share the heavy burden and the glory. A team that doesn't understand how to share responsibilities won't last long, right?"
Xiao Xingheng hesitated: "Yes."
"Then why did you hide the captain's past from us?"
Zhong Xiang: "Of course I'm worried you'll worry, right?" He rubbed his hands while trying to smooth things over. "But we've been through so much together, we're like a family, right? Star God, don't hide it."
Xiao Xingheng: "The main thing is... there's nothing much to say. Silence's hand has recovered well now, and it doesn't affect his operation at all. He also passed the psychological test at the time."
It would have been better if he hadn't said it. First, it was "recovery" and second, it was "psychological test". The faces of the people around him became extremely ugly.
Xiao Xingheng couldn't stand the gaze. He ruffled his hair and said, "I can tell you, but this matter must be kept absolutely confidential. Otherwise... it will ruin Silence's career."
"Why?!"
"Because it's a scandal in a sense."
