"Dad, mid laner, don't kill me in the promotion round, give me a chance!"
"Have you studied the new hero thoroughly? Does the master accept a disciple? Please guide him!"
"You dare to use scripts even if you are a king? Go out and report it, and your account will be banned."
A mobile phone buzzed and vibrated on the table. Cheng Yu caught a glimpse of the caller and took off one earphone to answer it.
"Hello?" His voice was lazy.
"Still sleeping. I heard that Awei offered you an eight-figure signing fee? Is it true?" The excited voice of my friend He Si was mixed with the sound of wind, which was not very clear.
‘Awei’ refers to the AW team. Because of the popular word AWSL on the Internet, people in the circle directly nicknamed Awei.
The AW team is the most popular team in the Chinese Mainland Division of the League of Legends Professional League, which is also the LPL division. It can be called the LPL endorsement harvester. Last year, it renovated the entire club. It was so luxurious that during the renovation, passersby thought they were opening a new hotel. Luxury shopping mall.
Cheng Yu: "Well, there is such a thing."
He opened the curtains, and there was heavy snow falling outside. All the branches in the green belt were tilted to one side. There was no snow on the branches, and they were all blown away by the strong north wind. Looking at the situation, he wanted to uproot the trees.
He Si: "That's outrageous. You refused eight figures? Why, didn't your uncle and aunt agree with you to play e-sports?"
"I didn't refuse." He looked away, Cheng Yu flexibly operated the mouse, moved to avoid the five enemies that besieged him, and easily scored five kills, "I didn't agree either."
"Awei is sincere enough to give you eight figures, and their training environment is the best in the entire LPL. It is said that the team doctors are all veteran doctors. You can rest assured if you go to Awei's uncle and aunt." He Si persuaded like a mother, "Go to Awei, they are also the team with the best chance of winning the S League championship this year."
Cheng Yu: “If I don’t go, they won’t have a chance to win the championship”
He Si: "That's why I signed you with eight figures!"
The computer screen showed victory. Cheng Yu was preparing for the next game. He was too lazy to pay attention to He Si.
Seeing that Cheng Yu didn't reply, He Si lowered his voice and asked tentatively: "Cheng Yu, don't you still have hope for that declining team?"
Cheng Yu clicked on the friend list and wanted to find someone to play with, but his hands shook and he fell to the zoom out button.
The game interface is hidden, revealing the desktop wallpaper, which is a high-definition photo of a person holding a cup on the league stage.
It can be seen that the owner of the wallpaper loves this photo, there is not even an icon on the desktop.
"No worries." Cheng Yu hung up the phone, got up and went to the living room to get water.
Half a month ago, he won the LPL youth training trial. In the past, this competition did not attract much attention, but this year is different.
This year, Cheng Yu's operation was so outstanding that compared to other contestants, Cheng Yu simply stood out from the crowd, not even the slightest bit worse.
On the day of the game, his game ID ‘unique’, which means unique, and the title of genius mid laner, was directly pushed to the top of the trending search, shocking the entire LPL.
Almost all teams in the LPL extended an olive branch to him, except Team Yuhuo.
"It's true that Yuhuo was a strong team before, but look at what has happened with the players in the past two years. This year, we didn't even get S-League tickets, and the training base is not half as big as Ah Wei. Why should you take the initiative to suffer? What?”
He Si sent a message on WeChat. Cheng Yu glanced at it but did not reply and continued to the next game.
Ten minutes into the game, he pushed down the second tower on the opposite side, picked up his phone and replied to He Si: "We are in need of a strong mid laner. We have been for the past two years."
He Si: "Ah Wei is also in short supply. Why didn't you choose Ah Wei, who has a big house, instead of helping the poor in a small way?"
Cheng Yu: "I didn't say that I was going to bathe in the fire, I only said that I was going to bathe in the fire and lack the mid laner."
He Si was 'typing' for a long time, and finally sent a sighing emoticon.
He Si: "Forget it, I'll go directly to someone to ask what's going on at Yu Huo. I guess I don't have any money. I know I can't afford to pay you and I've saved all my phone bills."
Cheng Yu: "No need."
He Si: "The news is very fast, you will know it today."
Cheng Yu: "No need."
He Si: "Okay, I'm at the place where I'm going to eat, so I won't say any more."
Cheng Yu looked at the weather outside the window again and replied to He Si: "Idiot just went out today."
"Master, please double queue, please lead me to fly!"
"I know both Loli Yin and Yu Jie Yin, take me with you!"
"Give me a friend seat and let's talk."
Cheng Yu glanced at the game chat box and realized that he was matched with someone from a professional team.
He didn't reply to anyone and looked at his phone from time to time during the second half of the game.
The phone was in his hand, and it had never turned on since He Si said he was going to eat.
Game win.
Cheng Yu ignored all friend requests and picked up his phone to type.
Cheng Yu: "If you are curious, go check it out yourself. There is no need for me to serve as a guide."
He Si said "typing" again, and finally only replied with an ellipsis.
After staring at the phone for a long time, making sure that He Si would never send another message, Cheng Yu threw the phone on the table and scratched his hair impatiently.
He went to the living room to get water again. When the cup was blocked under the water dispenser, he realized that there was still more than half a cup in it. He walked around the living room countless times. When he finished the third glass of water, a slight vibration of his cell phone came from the bedroom.
Cheng Yu strode to the bedroom, the water in the cup splashed and wet his shirt.
He Si: "Team Yu Huo found something wrong. The new person in charge insisted on getting a formal invitation letter. I don't know where you live, so I mailed it to our school. I was convinced by the person in charge's thinking."< br>
The school He Si mentioned was Shencheng No. 2 High School. The two had just finished the college entrance examination in June this year. He Si went to college and Cheng Yu took a break from school to prepare for a career.
Cheng Yu: "Who knows?"
He Si: "Okay... I have conveyed it. You can figure it out for yourself. I will continue to eat."
The wind outside showed no sign of letting up, and the snow was still heavy. The community downstairs looked completely white, and not even a single person could be seen.
Five minutes later.
Cheng Yu stood on the side of the road, wearing a pure white down jacket, and the white air he exhaled was blown away by the strong wind before it could form a ball.
Quite cold.
The taxi app showed there were still fifteen minutes to go. The weather was bad and there were few drivers available.
Did you come out early? Cheng Yu saw the driver driving at a very fast speed and looked at the gate of the community across the road. Wouldn't it be better to go home and wait?
The phone vibrated, and there was a new message from He Si.
He Si: "[Screenshot]" shows what Cheng Yu said not long ago.
"You idiot just went out today."
Cheng Yu: "..."
Too lazy to pay attention to him.
The wind was so strong that it made Cheng Yu's face hurt. He pulled up the collar of his down jacket and held the hat in his hand. Only his eyes were exposed, staring at the movements of the taxi driver.
The usual twenty-minute journey took 40 minutes to get to the school today. Cheng Yu asked the driver to wait and come out soon.
At the doorman's office, Cheng Yu knocked on the window.
The guard has been working here for 40 years. He looked close to the glass and recognized Cheng Yu immediately.
"Cheng Yu?" The uncle picked up the eyeglasses hanging around his neck and put them on, shouting at him through the glass, "Why are you here, Potian?"
"Get something." Cheng Yu pressed his hat with one hand and tapped the glass with the other, indicating to the uncle to open the window.
The old man's window had just opened a crack, and the north wind almost knocked him over.
"Bang", the window was closed, and the uncle continued to yell through the window: "What are you taking?"
Cheng Yu pointed to himself: "My letter."
The uncle turned his ear: "What is yours?"
Cheng Yu raised his voice: "Believe!"
Uncle: "Xin? You came to see me specially? Did you come empty-handed?"
Cheng Yu: "..."
Not far away, the driver rubbed his arms and saw Cheng Yu, who was staggered several times in the heavy snow. He had already imagined in his mind the annual drama of "Thinking that he failed the exam, but actually he was so excited to get the notice that even the guard could not believe it." .
The communication was finally successful. The uncle opened the window and quickly handed Cheng Yu a courier bag. He took it with both hands and held it tightly in his arms.
The strong wind blew and knocked the hat off his head without mercy.
The driver thought he had made a mistake and took off a white hat. Was there another one inside?
After people got on the bus and closed the door, the driver confirmed that Cheng Yu had white hair.
At first glance, his hair looked like it was dyed white by the snow outside. If you look closely, you can see that there is a faint gold in the hair, as if the winter sun was hidden in the white snow, and it didn't look like it was dyed.
"Please go back to the community where you were." Cheng Yu opened the express delivery and took out the invitation letter inside.
The invitation letter has a red background with large gilded characters, and the gold powder on it falls off when touched.
The driver was very disappointed. It was not an admission letter. Also, dyeing his hair white did not look like a good student.
"Going to the elders' birthday party?" The driver turned the rearview mirror and pointed it at Cheng Yu. He took a few more glances at his hair. How was it dyed?
Cheng Yu's face turned dark, he took the invitation and looked out the window: "No." He was from a city, so why not just call and talk to him? He had to get the invitation, which would delay him for half a month.
Yuhuo E-Sports Club is located in Shencheng.
Cheng Yu's family is in the west of the city, and the Yuhuo team's headquarters is in the south of the city.
The person in charge of Baocai, Team Yuhuo really picked up a ghost.
After returning home, Cheng Yu hung his fingers on the trash can. He wanted to let go and throw away the eye-catching invitation several times. Finally, he took a deep breath. He went to the bookcase and randomly took out a "Must-Read Guide to Successful Business" and tucked it inside. , never take another look.
He had already written down the mobile phone number of the contact person on the invitation letter, and typed it with his fingers covered in gold dust.
The conversation was very brief. When the person in charge of Yuhuo heard that it was Cheng Yu, you could feel the arc of his grin reaching behind his ears through his voice. The genius mid laner was coming, and he was so happy that he suspected that he was dreaming.
Since the establishment of the team two years ago, the team has been lacking a strong mid laner. Except for the captain ADC, the other team members have changed batch after batch. Each time, the mid laner is weak, and he misses time and time again to get the S League. House opportunity.
Cheng Yu's signing of the contract was a disaster, which was a timely help.
"Well, we will discuss it in detail with the club tomorrow."
As soon as Cheng Yu hung up the phone, He Si called immediately.
He first washed off the gold powder on his hands and wiped his cell phone before calling He Si back.
He Si got straight to the point: "Did you get the invitation letter?"
Cheng Yu strolled back to the bedroom and said in a relaxed tone: "I was just going over there to do some work, so I picked it up by the way."
He Si laughed softly and asked again: "You will definitely meet Shen Zheng when you go to Team Yuhuo. What are you going to do?"
Shen Zheng, the captain of Team Yuhuo, joined the e-sports industry as a genius ADC at the age of 17. Within a year, he swept all individual awards and broke one record after another. So far, no one can surpass his personal myth.
In the bedroom, the computer monitor was on, and the person holding the trophy on the table seemed clearer than before he left.
It was a handsome and distinctive face.
Under the short black hair, a pair of cool phoenix eyes took up most of the screen. The owner of the eyes kissed his left hand and held his Global SOLO Championship trophy in his right hand. He looked diagonally upward without any emotion. It’s as if the trophy in your hand, which attracts LOL professional players all over the world, has no weight.
He completely ignored the cheering and celebrating people in the background, separated from the fiery atmosphere, as if he was standing alone in that inviolable god.
Cheng Yu stared at the person in the picture for two seconds, and quickly looked away as if someone had caught him.
He ruffled his hair and fiddled with his bangs twice: "What can I do? Let's get along normally. Take away his position as Captain of the Fire, and kick him out of the global solo championship. From now on, I will be the only legend in the LPL."< br>
He Si: "You call this a normal relationship?"
Thinking of the things Cheng Yu did when he was in school, this was really a normal relationship. He and Shen Zheng were not from the same school, and they could fight over the air.
I can't say whether the relationship between the two is good or bad, but that's how high school went.
He Si: "What a great ambition. I wish you all the best tomorrow. Also, help me get a signed photo of Shen Zheng. My sister likes him very much."
Cheng Yu: "Shen Zheng can't do it, but mine can."
He Si: "My sister only likes Shen Zheng. I leave this matter entirely to you!"
As soon as Cheng Yu said the word "go" in his throat, He Si hung up the phone accurately.
Cheng Yu: "..."
He threw the phone on the bed, lowered his eyes and looked at the person on the computer screen for a few seconds, slowly raised his hand, tapped the other person's forehead in the air and whispered: "Sooner or later I will surpass you."
——
The next day, Cheng Yu arrived at Yuhuo E-Sports Club half an hour earlier than the agreed time.
The person who opened the door for him was a young player from the Yuhuo Youth Training Team.
When the other party saw Cheng Yu, he seemed dumbfounded and said, "You, you, you" for a long time without saying a complete sentence.
"I made an appointment with your person in charge yesterday," Cheng Yu said, "to discuss the contract today."
The young general nodded like a fool and ran upstairs. His excited voice spread throughout the Yuhuo Club: "Fuck! Cheng Yu came to our team to negotiate a contract!"
Cheng Yu glanced around the club hall. It was his first time here, but all the objects in it were familiar.
On the trophy wall facing the door, he could recite the placement of every trophy. Most of them were solemn.
There was a two-year-old coffee table and sofa in the middle of the room, as well as a half-dead fortune tree in the corner. He had seen it countless times in the Team on Fire videos.
The young general who just ran upstairs came down again, pointed upstairs and said cautiously: "Brother Yu, please go to the conference room and wait for a moment."
"Okay, thank you." Cheng Yu followed him to the conference room.
In the conference room, Cheng Yu waited for less than five minutes before the person in charge came in a hurry.
The person in charge is called Li Hong. He is in his early 30s and dressed in formal clothes. When he met Cheng Yu, he was as enthusiastic as meeting a sponsor.
"Hello, please sit down. What would you like to drink? Tea, juice, or Coke?"
Cheng Yu wanted to laugh a little, but he never got up from the chair.
"If you're not thirsty, let's just talk about the contract."
Li Hong focused on telling Cheng Yu about salary and benefits, as well as boasting about the achievements achieved in the two years since its establishment.
After all, the results that can be achieved are all Shen Zheng's solo performances, and the team awards are too far apart.
Cheng Yu had already figured out the information about Yuhuo, and he even understood the growth process of Team Yuhuo better than Li Hong.
Li Hong said: "After all, you are a newcomer selected from the youth training competition. You need to play as a substitute for a period of time. Although you are a substitute, you are still in the first team. This has never happened before."
He said this carefully, but it was also the biggest concession Yuhuo gave. Other teams asked him to go to the youth training team to play first, and he could be a substitute based on the results of the youth training team.
The youth training team's competition scale and outside attention are completely incomparable to the league teams. Whether it is money or status, Yuhuo has given Cheng Yu enough face to prove his sincerity.
"Shen Zheng." Cheng Yu looked at the contract and spoke calmly.
Li Hong: "Shen Zheng? What's wrong? He is the captain of the team. Don't worry, he is very good."
"The last person who came up from the youth draft and directly played in the first team was Shen Zheng." His fingertips stopped on the signature page and tapped lightly, "He has never been a substitute."
Shen Zheng is at the peak of his career, but he has never been able to beat him in this aspect.
Li Hong opened his mouth and showed an embarrassed expression: "It takes time to join the club, and being a substitute is just a matter of getting used to it. You see..."
Before he finished speaking, he watched Cheng Yu pick up the pen and sign directly.
Li Hong: "As long as you adjust quickly, the team will try to arrange as many games for you as possible."
Afraid that Cheng Yu would regret it, he quickly took back the contract and held it tightly in his hand.
Now is the time for personnel from major teams to transfer and join. Cheng Yu can officially become a Yuhuo member by signing up.
Considering the level of Yuhuo's current mid laner in the first team, and considering Yuhuo's tendency to sell off his players during the transfer period, Cheng Yu estimates that he will be a substitute for at least half a month.
Shen Zheng was not left far behind, and it was within his acceptable range.
Li Hong: "I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment. From now on, you will stay with the team for food, accommodation and food."
Li Hong opened the door of the conference room, and the people gathered outside dispersed with a crash. They all pretended to be fine and passed by, but their eyes were full of eyes on Cheng Yu.
He is even more handsome in real life than in the photos, and he is so white, with almost transparent skin. Combined with his iconic white hair, he looks even better than a white European.
Cheng Yu followed Li Hong and familiarized himself with the environment with a bunch of sneaky little tails. He officially became a member of the Yuhuo Team.
"I'll ask someone to set up a machine later. You should get familiar with everyone first." Li Hong opened the door of the training room and faced him, almost bumping into Shen Zheng who was about to come out.
As if the wallpaper on the computer came to life, Cheng Yu suddenly ran into those red and phoenix eyes that he had seen countless times every day.
The owner of these eyes was looking at him, cold and focused.
Cheng Yu subconsciously held his breath, and for a moment he forgot the opening remarks he had rehearsed countless times before coming here.
After a while, he looked away, pinched his slightly itchy earlobe, and asked the other person like a grumpy little lion: "What are you looking at?"
Shen Zheng was dressed in pure black casual clothes, as cold and solemn as he was.
He stood in front of Cheng Yu, his figure was tall and tall, and he was a head taller than Cheng Yu. He lowered his eyes lightly, his voice was a little hoarse, and said in a gentle and gentle tone: "I'm looking at you."

The author said: A simple and sweet article about e-sports.
Please collect the column "My Secret Lover Wants to Chase Me"~
Shi Can had a crush on a big boss in the game. He got close to the big boss and infiltrated his team. After deliberately planning to become a core member, he started dragging the boss to do Valentine's Day tasks, took screenshots of the couple's popular interactions, and went to official sites to confirm their love. I spent all night talking on the phone, just waiting for a chance to express my feelings.
But the boss has been unmoved, like an insulator allergic to love, and he still doesn't understand even though he hints to this point.
Shi Can sighed, he might have to have a crush on the boss for the rest of his life.
Shi Can was frustrated in love and watched the game with his roommate to relax. On the way, he met Jiang Yun, the student next door.
Jiang Yun is taciturn and seems difficult to get along with.
Surprisingly, Jiang Yun often asked Shi Can out to meet him. Shi Can finally had a passionate flirtation with the boss, and vaguely sensed Jiang Yun's thoughts, so he began to refuse the invitation.
The roommates organized a mountain climb to watch the sunrise. When Shi Can reached the top of the mountain, he discovered that Jiang Yun was also there, and the two of them were assigned to a tent.
Jiang Yun: Aren’t you afraid that I will do something wrong to you?
Shi Chan: I am a man.
Jiang Yun: If you are a woman, you are safe.
Shi Can: I mean I have a lot of strength...
Jiang Yun used practical actions to prove that Shi Can's strength was not enough.
Shi Can was about to resist when he heard Jiang Yun say in his ear: "Do you really think I don't know what you are thinking about? On Valentine's Day, two people show pictures to seal their relationship, huh?"
Before Shi Can could react, Jiang Yun relaxed his strength and pulled him up: "Give me a chance and let me chase you too."
