There are no couples on the road

The draw ceremony this time attracted even more spectators than usual.

After all, generation after generation of players attracts generation after generation of players, and this time, the guest who is the representative of the LPL draw can be regarded as a heavyweight star player. The currently retired LPL is the only mid laner River Chengfang who has won the S game.

And without further analysis, the situation this time is very favorable for LPL, but there are two sides to the same thing, no matter what the result is, there are people who are happy and others are worried.Naturally, everyone also hoped that the result of the lottery would be the same as what they hoped for.

This time the official is also very good at organizing. Not only did the live broadcast of the lottery ceremony, but also set up broadcast equipment in the lounges of the two remaining LPL teams. The director will switch screens or insert small window.

Shi Xun has long been used to all this, and has long learned how to ignore it.

He only needs to focus on the results he wants to know.

In fact, Shi Xun didn't know what kind of lottery he wanted. It was not like asking for a lottery in a temple. Each lottery had a corresponding interpretation and good or bad luck.But now in this situation, which team is considered a good luck, and which team is the worst for CRE.

Shi Xun felt the oppression that he had been worried about in the BO5 of the summer finals.Since this season, or even earlier, I can feel that LN is constantly changing, every position has been tempered, it is more integrated, and the lineup is more flexible. Every time I feel that I have figured out the routine, I will always encounter Updated countermeasures.

Shi Xun looked at River who walked to the lottery table and smiled at the camera. He couldn't tell whether it was envy or a little bit of sadness, but he knew more about his feelings. He really hoped that he could understand that kind of feeling. Take it easy.

Maybe it's because he is no longer on the field, maybe it's because he once won the trophy that symbolizes the highest honor of LOL, maybe it's because River has always had a calmness that he can't understand or possess.

Can you stop after winning the S game?

It would be really nice if the championship was what qualified TimeStone to stop, rather than injuries.

Almost when Shi Xun was about to start to sigh insignificantly, his hand was held.

Warm and gentle, but there is a feeling of being held in the palm of your hand.

Jiang Weichi keenly sensed Shi Xun's strangeness.

Shi Xun slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and his belated reaction allowed him to let go of his back that had been unconsciously stiff, joint by joint.

I can't tell who is approaching. Originally, the distance between the two chairs was negligible, but now the armrests on both sides rub against each other, and they are also leaning towards the middle.Shi Xun felt that his shoulder and Jiang Weichi could be regarded as clinging to each other, so he simply let go of his strength, rubbed down from the gaming chair, and tilted his head to rest on Jiang Weichi's shoulder.

The camera naturally and truly recorded this scene.

It's just that right now everyone is anxiously staring at the slender white hand on the screen, walking among the golden balls at the bottom of the lottery pool, finally picked up one of them, and opened——

AEX.

A team from the North American division, against First in the LCK.

This draw has no suspense for the LPL division. It is the first semi-final civil war of LPL since S2 qualified to participate in the S game.

For the entire division, the LPL can be said to have a team that "walks" into the finals.

The lounge of CRE returned to calm after a brief turmoil, and everyone unconsciously looked at Shi Xun and Jiang Weichi.Shi Xun thought for a while, then turned to look at Jiang Weichi, his team leader.

Jiang Weichi's face was still calm as if there was almost no color, the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, he stood up, squeezed Shi Xun's hand, but did not let go.

He looked around, "The result has already been decided, it's up to people."

Shi Xun's hand was pulled by him, and the two of them switched directions, Jiang Weichi's hand was supported underneath, teammates and coaches also gathered together, palms and backs of hands overlapped and pressed down.

There was a shallow smile in Shi Xun's eyes, and he said, "CRE—"

"come on!"

After the lottery ceremony, they have to go on stage to greet each other with their opponents.

Shi Xun watched as Jiang Weichi walked up and shook hands with Persevere.Knowing Jiang Weichi's style, Persevere just nodded, "Come on, see you on the field."

Jiang Weichi was naturally in that cold state of cherishing words like gold, "Come on."

Shi Xun was called on the way back to the lounge.

River handed him a cup of warm coffee and smiled, "Long time no see."

The aroma of hazelnuts is very strong, and Shi Xun has absorbed a little warmth from it, as if a lion's mane has collapsed limply.

Shi Xun looked at the slowly steaming mist, stretched his body, "I really haven't seen you for a long time, Dr. Cheng."

River was teased by him, and the vague feeling of unfamiliarity disappeared instantly, "That's for sure, the master is too busy, and he doesn't even go home very often, and I'm stuck in the capital, so I don't have a chance to meet .”

"You haven't seen you being free even after you retired, so you can't find time to invite me back because of the barbecue?" Shi Xun recalled the time when he gathered for dinner after the game, and he was still a little emotional.

River laughed, "Hey, don't tell me, it's a small matter for me to invite you to a barbecue. Your cup of coffee is hot as Xiaojiang told me repeatedly. I was thinking, can the barbecue make you a cup of soy milk?"

"Soy milk is fine too." Shi Xun drank two sips of coffee, his entire chest was ironed, "Seriously, why are you willing to take it?"

River leaned against the wall, with the warm yellow light in the corridor in his eyes, "I'm not willing to let it go. You geniuses can't understand me and other mortals. I really didn't think I could win the championship before. It's time, no matter what, I It’s time to retire.”

Shi Xun didn't speak, and he also understood that a child from a medical family who went to medical school smoothly will always have a time limit for his career.Cheng Fang (River)'s ability to persist for so long is probably due to a little selfishness at the end of the trade-off.

"I was originally considered an advanced player, and I really couldn't delay my studies. Of course I wanted to win the championship, but how can I say... I was lucky to win, but I lost my life. In those years, every time I met someone like you Playing the game, I feel that I am really just a mortal... The pain is painful, and I have to look away.”

Shi Xun wanted to say something, but River stopped him with a wave of his hand, "You are the most different, and you are different from other talents. I bet you never think that retirement is an option unless your body is failing .”

Shi Xun wanted to speak again, but was interrupted before the casting started. He looked over helplessly, and found that he was also an acquaintance. The other S6 champion Nakano was late, and Liang Qing Lighting nodded slightly to Shi Xun , "Talking?"

Cheng Fang responded in his throat, "Ask why we are willing to retire."

Liang Qing frowned, her eyes fell on Shi Xun's hanging right hand, "Hand injury?"

Shi Xun twitched the corner of his mouth, "You're right," he said to River, "I really didn't think about retiring because of other things."

He raised his right hand, clenched his fist and released it, the scar on his palm was still clearly visible, "It's quite uncomfortable."

Liang Qing said two words for the third time without beginning or end, "It's useless."

"Your words sound like a curse," Cheng Fang was still smiling, and his eyes turned to Shi Xun again, "He just wanted to say that it's useless to think about it, just go for a fight and it's over, if you can't beat it, let's talk about it. Is that what you mean?"

Liang Qing nodded expressionlessly.

Shi Xun was amused by this familiar way of interaction, "Sometimes it really feels like you just retired not long ago."

He thought for a while, "In short, it's just forcing."

Cheng Fang raised his hand and patted Shi Xun's shoulder, "Yes, you are different from us. What you want, no matter what the situation, you can't get it. Just force it. This is your privilege as a genius, brother."

Liang Qing stared at Cheng Fang's hand, as if he had endured it, he pulled it over and held it in his hand, but choked out a few more words.

"It's good to have something you want to force."

Shi Xun didn't bring up his thoughts again until the evening training was over and he and Jiang Weichi were resting on the bed.I feel that there are many things that are still difficult to think clearly. In the past, he would make his feelings infinitely close to rational choices, and it seems that he has not encountered any insurmountable obstacles.

It's just that the current situation is that whoever is blocking the side of the dam is almost overflowing, as long as there is a little wind and a slight ripple is stirred up, there will be water rushing over, and then falling on this side of the dam.

Crash, clatter.Simple and never-ending, undecipherable sounds.

Jiang Weichi shrank his body, rubbed against the pillow, and pressed Shi Xun's forehead against it.

"Are you worried?"

The posture of being close to each other makes Shi Xun feel safe, suitable for talking to each other, even confessing, or saying something vague.

"Xiao Chi... I can't say it well. I feel a little bit in my heart. I don't know how to express it. Is it at a loss?"

Jiang Weichi's hand was attached to Shi Xun's ear, he could more or less understand Shi Xun's emotions, but he was far from conceited enough to think that he could feel it.

This is a game that cannot be lost.

They don't know what kind of future and what choices Shi Xun will face after this year's S competition.

Again there is no choice.

But this year is no different from every year that is not favored and has no championship, except for more hardships. The evolution of LN is imprinted in everyone's eyes, Shi Xun or him, no one can not be affected by the feeling of being pressed every step of the way.

"Today, I chatted with River a few times, and he said, 'I'm lucky, I'm lost'. When I think about it now, I still feel that I will never be so calm." Shi Xun spoke a little slower than usual, Still thinking.

Jiang Weichi knew that Shi Xun was playing tricks again, so he put his finger on Shi Xun's lips, "Is it a good thing to be calm?"

Just as Shi Xun was about to answer, he stopped before he could speak.

Yes...is it a good thing to be calm?Is it wrong to force it?Even if you talk about fate every day, in the final analysis, it is just a vague pronoun. Should it be despised if you hold on to it?

Even if it is a battle that must be lost, should we throw away our helmets and armor before the battle and give up?

Jiang Weichi slowly raised his head and kissed at the same time.

"I'll be with you, we can fight as long as we can, don't miss a game, don't retire at the peak, don't call it a glorious curtain call, don't want anything, we'll fight until the last moment."

Jiang Weichi felt that he had never been so impulsive, and he had never been so calm.

So what if you force it, just force it!

The author says:

Cheng Fang: Why do I feel that you are implying that I am a thing?

Liang Qing: Mine.
