And so, three years passed.
Ahri will continue to play games with Xu Mingge and will also watch Xu Mingge's live streams of matches online.
Xu Mingge also gave Ali tickets to watch his matches. Ali had been there before and could feel the fans' enthusiasm as well as the intense feeling of being squeezed in a crowd.
When Xu Mingge led his team to another world championship, he said he was retiring because he was getting old. However, he would not leave the team; he would become a coach.
Xu Mingge also said: "We must remember that the road of e-sports, though brilliant, is also full of thorns. It is not just about the light leaps of fingers on the keyboard, but also a test of the limits of mentality and perseverance. Behind success, there are often countless days and nights of sweat and tears, countless times of getting up again after failure, and a constant breakthrough of one's own limits."
"I believe there are still many people who see their esports dreams as a lighthouse on their life's journey, believing it can guide them. But I suggest not rushing to reach that goal immediately. Instead, hone your esports skills and let your dreams and reality coexist harmoniously. Perhaps one day in the future, you can stand at the pinnacle of the professional esports arena with a more mature and well-rounded attitude, looking back on the journey with no regrets and your eyes shining brightly!"
After Xu Mingge finished speaking, the audience applauded loudly, and the host excitedly echoed, "Xu Mingge's words are not only a profound interpretation of the spirit of e-sports, but also an encouragement and spur to all dream chasers. In this fast-paced era, being able to calm down, focus on self-improvement, and not be swayed by immediate temptations is a rare and precious quality."
"Let's give another round of applause to Mingge for sharing his insights. His skill and understanding have undoubtedly opened a window for us, allowing us to see the untold efforts and perseverance behind esports. At the same time, it reminds us that no matter what field we are in, the road to pursuing our dreams is never smooth. Only by persevering and daring to challenge ourselves can we reach our destination!"
As the host finished speaking, the atmosphere reached its climax.
The audience’s eyes sparkled with anticipation and determination for the future. They were perhaps silently making a promise in their hearts to be like Xu Mingge, using their e-sports dreams as their driving force, and forging ahead bravely despite difficulties!
The stage lights gradually softened and hardened, as if illuminating the path forward for every dreamer.
Xu Mingge stood in that beam of light, smiling and waving to those around him. His figure appeared exceptionally tall at that moment.
He knew that his words might inspire some people, but more importantly, he hoped that everyone could find their own perseverance and passion in their esports journey, allowing the flower of their dreams to bloom with the most dazzling light under the nourishment of sweat.
On the other side, Ali was watching something on a tablet with Wang Qi.
Ahri said with a touch of pride, "I told you he was excellent."
Wang Qi looked at Ah Li helplessly and echoed, "Yes, very good."
"So, does that mean I can go get our marriage certificate with him tomorrow?"
“Ah Li, you’re a girl, so the boy should be the one to bring up the marriage certificate first.”
Wang Qi tried to coax her gently, not wanting Ali to be so proactive. Xu Mingge seemed quite composed, unlike Ali, who always tried to take advantage of others.
Ali put down her tablet, leaned against Wang Qi, and said, "With his personality, it's better for me to do it myself than to wait for him to make the first move. Besides, he's so outstanding. If I don't win him over soon, he'll be snatched away by someone else. Who will I complain to then?"
Not long ago, Ali also saw that someone was secretly slipping notes into Xu Mingge's door and giving him gifts.
I don't know where those fans found out that Xu Mingge's home is here, but people come over from time to time to give gifts and flowers.
People who come here to give gifts include both boys and girls; some even give mice and keyboards.
Wang Qi had also encountered him a few times. Once, someone even asked her if Xu Mingge lived here.
At this moment, Ah Li blushed and said shyly, "Mom, I'd like to stay at Xu Mingge's house earlier."
Wang Qi stared at Ali in disbelief. Her daughter was something else! They had just talked about getting their marriage certificate, and she was already thinking about living with someone else.
"mom."
Ah Li drawled out her words, coaxing and pleading, "Don't you want to hold your grandson soon? Didn't you say the other day that someone's grandson was adorable?"
Wang Qi suddenly felt a sense of unease, thinking that daughters grow up and leave home unattended. While other families urge their children to find partners, get married, and have children, she was the one making those arrangements herself first.
Wang Qi helplessly placed his hand on Ali's head and agreed, "Go ahead, anyway, you don't need a household registration book to get married now, just bring your ID cards."
"Mom, you're so wonderful!"
It took three whole years for Wang Qi to slowly accept Xu Mingge. Ali felt it was too difficult. If she didn't strike while the iron was hot, she would be a fool.
At this moment, Su Guodong came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and said, "I'll call him over for dinner later."
"Okay, I'll send him a message in advance."
Ali took out her phone and sent a message to Xu Mingge, asking him to come back for dinner later.
Ah Li didn't expect that Xu Mingge was such a persistent person.
Wang Qi thought so little of him back then, but he directly produced a lot of certificates, saying that he had already completed the self-study in advance.
Moreover, over the past three years, Xu Mingge would visit him during holidays and festivals.
Aside from training, he comes over whenever he has free time.
Sometimes when the water pipes in the house break, he will help fix them. He can also do plumbing and electrical work, just like a plumber.
That day, the washing machine suddenly stopped working, so Wang Qi had someone come and repair it.
As a result, the technician who came to the site said that the main circuit board was broken and needed to be replaced, which would cost several hundred yuan.
Wang Qi felt it was better to buy a new one, since the washing machine had been used for more than ten years, so he didn't have it repaired.
Xu Mingge happened to come over and said he could take a look.
Later, I don't know how he managed to fix it, but he bought the parts and the main circuit board online and fixed it.
It only cost the main circuit board, a little over a hundred yuan.
As a result of this incident, Xu Mingge was officially recognized by Ms. Wang Qi.
Most importantly, he treats Ahri very well, and he doesn't smoke or drink, which are all plus points.
Sometimes, when Su Guodong's phone goes silent, he'll either call Ali or Xu Mingge.
Even something as simple as adjusting the phone volume or setting an alarm clock, Su Guodong could praise Xu Mingge as if she were the most amazing person in the world.
Ah Li wanted to roll her eyes. Only people of their generation would think that was impressive.
Xu Mingge was very humble and not arrogant at all, which earned him another round of praise from Su Guodong.
I remember that day, Xu Mingge read the comic Ali posted and said, "So you're a cartoonist."
"Yes, I'm very good. Look at my fans."
Ah Li proudly showed it to Xu Mingge, but then she realized that this person had far more fans than her because his skills were truly amazing.
