who's next

GW Club is located in M ​​City, which is only an hour away by high-speed train from N City where Ji Huai is located.

There are only four quotas for the meeting, and Ruan Yuchen transferred the quota to Ji Huai, who was in a daze at the time.

"We've known each other for more than half a year. I think you're pretty nice. Besides, I really don't know who to give the spot to. My friends only have three teammates, and they will all go."

"No, why don't you go?"

"I'm busy."

Regardless of whether Ruan Yuchen was really free or not, Ji Huai accepted this heavy gift in a daze, and set foot on the high-speed train to M city alone.

The e-sports industry in City M is developing more rapidly than other places, and many veteran teams have their headquarters here.Compared with N City, which is famous for its gourmet tourism, the pace of life is faster.

Ji Huai arrived at the M city station on Friday night, randomly picked a hotel close to the destination to check in, took a comfortable bath, fell asleep after soaking in a pillow.

Ji Huai's work and rest time has always been very regular, even if he wakes up naturally, he will not exceed eight o'clock.The next day he got up and had a leisurely breakfast, and he still had time to spare, so he got stuck in the quilt and fell asleep again.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Huai, who was still asleep, was suddenly awakened by his mobile phone. He patted his beating heart lightly, his face livid: "Hello."

"Don't sleep late, it's time to go."

"You are poisonous, so why don't you take part in it yourself?" After all, Ji Huai did not slack off in his actions. He quickly packed up, walked to the entrance, took out his room card, closed the door and left.

Ruan Yuchen chuckled, and answered the wrong question: "Send me the location of the hotel."

"Why? Isn't there a special car to pick you up?"

"It's all here, don't you want to meet me by the way?"

Ji Huai pursed his lips tightly, hung up the phone with a sense of integrity, and opened Ruan Yuchen's chat window to send the location.

He had just taken the elevator downstairs when he saw a commercial vehicle with a logo parked in the square in front of the hotel from afar.

Four or five people were already sitting in the car, and Ji Huai scanned their faces one by one. Except for two staff members, the remaining three were probably Ruan Yuchen's teammates.

Just as Ji Huai was hesitating how to greet him, a young man with a beard patted him on the shoulder: "Are you Snow's friend? He told us about you more than once. I didn't expect us to see your true face earlier than him."

As a noble painting artist, Ji Huai is not good at dealing with people, otherwise he would not develop a bad temper that speaks with fists.Hearing this, he smiled awkwardly but politely, "Hello."

The person in front of me is a chatterbox, completely unaware of the first meeting: "I remember you were ranked third in points, right? Good guy, you are a few points away from No. 4. Our company HR still wants to poach you, why don't you?" Do you agree?"

"I want to focus on my studies." Ji Huai's answer was rigid and official, implying that he didn't want to communicate.

Another teammate looked out the window and softly interrupted the young man who was about to speak: "Here we are."

His attention was immediately attracted by the huge signboard, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said eagerly, "I don't know how many anchors I will be jealous of for this year's extra rewards."

The business seat stopped in front of the main entrance of the club, and Ji Huai raised his hand to cover the sun and squinted his eyes to look at the small bungalow.Style is style, just a little old.

The white paint painted on the "GW" letters is almost peeling off. It can be seen that it has been renovated several times. The overall color is mottled and the surface is uneven.The iron parts on the glass door are also full of rust, and if you rub it lightly, it will be covered with iron rust.

If the windows were not full of trophies symbolizing past glory, at best it would be an ordinary duplex building.

The hall on the first floor was arranged as a small party, and the projector was playing GW's game video.Colorful desserts and fragrant snacks are displayed on the long white table, which makes people feel happy just looking at it.

The manager of the club received them, and he said with a smile: "Hello, I am Feng Ding, the professional manager of the GW team. Next, I will introduce the structure of the venue. The first floor of the club is the activity place for the players. There is a gym Room and chess and card room, sometimes used to receive foreign guests."

"The second floor is the training room, and the third floor is the dormitory. Meetings are not open." Feng Ding pushed his glasses, looked back and forth between the four of them, and finally stayed on Ji Huai's face, "The one attending instead of the captain is... ..."

"It's me." Ji Huai stared at the shiny roast duck behind Feng Ding, and swallowed.

The smile on the corner of Feng Ding's mouth was even bigger. He slapped his palm lightly and said: "Everyone here is a standout from the finals, and they are also GW's guests. Let's open up and play today."

After going through the process, the players and coaches went downstairs to say hello to them one by one.Ji Huai lacked interest, sitting quietly in a corner as an emotionless eating machine.

"Are you Snow's friend?" The speaker was wearing a team T-shirt and light-colored jeans. He looked less than thirty, and seemed harmless to humans and animals, but Ji Huai didn't feel very good, and had the illusion of being sanctimonious. .

Ji Huai's mouth was full of pizza, he didn't reply immediately, he chewed the food a few times, swallowed the food into his stomach, and took a sip of soda before speaking slowly: "Yes, he is not free, and he doesn't want to waste the quota, so let me come .”

He nodded and handed his business card to Ji Huai: "Hi, I'm GW's coach Cheng Jie. May I ask if Mr. Ji intends to join our team?"

Before Ji Huai could react, Cheng Jie continued: "Don't be curious about why I know your name. To ensure the safety of the players, it is necessary to check the information. I think you are very talented. If you go through professional training, you will definitely become an e-sports player in time." Circle the dark horse."

"Sorry, I'm not interested." Ji Huai politely took the business card and refused quite simply. "Playing games is a hobby, but once you treat it as a profession, it becomes boring and boring."

Cheng Jie was stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something, he lowered his head and chuckled: "That's the reason..."

Cheng Jie turned around to leave, but turned back after walking a few steps. He lowered his voice and said, "Then can you give me Snow's contact information?"

Ji Huai thought that if he was rejected by him, he should want to settle for the next best thing. He sold Ruan Yuchen without hesitation, without the consciousness of being defeated at all.

After a few hours of meeting, other people took group photos and took souvenirs, and returned home happily.Ji Huai ate quite satisfactorily, and it happened to be a rare cloudy day, so he planned to walk back to the hotel to refresh himself.

Ji Huai walked through the traffic lights, crossed the green belt to the square at the main entrance of the hotel, and met a young man head-on.

He was clean and fresh, with hair sweeping around his fair neck.There is a faint smile on the corner of the mouth, which is a very standard upturned moon lip, as gentle as the breeze blowing willows, and the moonlight pouring down the ground.

At this time, the sun was piercing through the dark clouds, and a faint radiance shrouded the two of them, and the whole person was shining.

The first time Ji Huai saw him, he subconsciously thought of that refined name.

Ruan Yuchen.
