We are tired of winning championships, and we still need youth training?

Chapter 129 Invitation to the Grand Ceremony!
When Xu Xinghe returned, Rookie gave him a strange look, as if she wanted to ask him something.

Xu Xinghe didn't say much, but simply nodded to indicate that everything was fine.

With everyone present, the IG members naturally had to leave the venue.

Su Xiaoluo had already arranged a venue for the gathering, a restaurant located not far from the hotel.

It's not particularly high-end, but it's quiet and has a local flavor.

As the contestants arrived, the dishes were served one after another.

Let's take a picture.

Xu Xinghe smiled and waved to his teammates.

Next year... we probably won't be on the same team anymore.

Aside from Rookie, he didn't know where the others had gone.

It's fate that we were able to play for a year.

Oh, actually it's only been six months.

Others would naturally not refuse such a request.

And so, a group photo was taken.

In the center of the screen, Xu Xinghe held up his phone with one hand, a smile on his handsome face, while patting Rookie's shoulder with the other.

To his left, Rookie was smiling broadly, her eyes sparkling beneath her slightly messy hair, as she reached out and hugged Xu Xinghe tightly.

To his right, Bao Lan, wearing glasses, leaned against Xu Xinghe, giving a thumbs-up with one hand and smiling shyly, while her other hand remained behind her back, looking rather bewildered.

Behind Xu Xinghe, TheShy and Ah Shui both put their hands to their faces, looked up at the camera and gave a thumbs up, with their arms around each other's shoulders.

TheShy grinned, revealing his big teeth, while JackeyLove was laughing so hard he was practically rolling on the floor.

Not far behind them, Karam, with his arms crossed, and Su Xiaoluo, pushing up her glasses, stood on either side of Young Master Wang, seemingly detached from the edge of the frame.

Xu Xinghe looked at the photo and nodded.

Not bad.

It was then posted on Weibo.

This is also one of the few Weibo posts he made himself after creating his Weibo account.

The caption was also very simple, just a few words:
[Having dinner with teammates]

At this moment, Xu Xinghe's popularity was off the charts.

Although it's not LPL's first championship, the consecutive championships still generate a lot of buzz.

What's even more outrageous is that the activity level of Xu Xinghe's super topic has now jumped into the top 50.

This level of popularity is something many second-tier celebrities might not even achieve.

The supertopic is full of photos taken by fans who went to the event, as well as materials released by IG.

His Weibo followers have also surged to a staggering seven million.

In just six months, he has become a true star player in the LPL.

And it's not limited to esports.

A significant portion of these fans are drawn to the characters' looks and don't actually watch the matches.

[So handsome, Xingbao!]

[Ahhhh, when is Xingbao coming back to China?]

[Eat your fill, don't go hungry, Xingbao!]

[Xingbao looks so handsome today!]

These are the most frequent comments on Xu Xinghe's Weibo.

It has a strong flavor, nothing more needs to be said.

Xu Xinghe doesn't dislike female fans in the fandom.

You give me buzz, and I'll provide you with some emotional value.

Isn't this a very reasonable transaction?

Everyone looks down on fan culture, but if a woman really treats you like a treasure and pampers you, wouldn't you be dizzy?

He was truly that kind of Sigma man, but that's another story.

Xu Xinghe turned off the screen and didn't look at it for long.

The main problem is that it's really devoid of any substance, consisting mostly of battle cries like "Ahhhhh!"

Next, of course, it's time to eat heartily.

Although the game ended quickly, I was still hungry.

Su Xiaoluo learned her lesson this time and didn't order too much seafood.

After winning the S8 championship, he ordered a lot of seafood, but forgot that Ah Shui was allergic to seafood, and was scolded to death online.

This time, he asked the contestants about their dietary restrictions beforehand.

It was already late after dinner, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

It wasn't until nearly midnight that the Instagram group, having finished singing, left the karaoke bar.

—No one would think the proper procedure is Barbarian King W, right?
At 1 p.m. the next day, Xu Xinghe shouldered his backpack and walked into the boarding gate.

He took one last look at the place where he had won his first major honor, then turned and left without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, the LPL was already in complete chaos.

With the World Championship over, the winter transfer window is just around the corner.

It's a proper transfer window, not a transfer window for wives.

As a result, IG Club's phone lines were overwhelmed with calls.

The IG players' phones were also ringing off the hook.

It's not just IG, FPX is similar.

Although FPX lost to IG, it's clear to anyone with eyes that it wasn't because FPX was too bad.

Reaching the finals speaks volumes about the ability of FPX players.

Xiao Tian was still heartbroken, but in fact he had already caught the eye of many top clubs.

Is it shameful to lose to Xu Xinghe?

Not at all.

Because no one can defeat that monster.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Xiao Tian's ability to put up a fight already demonstrates that he is far superior to the others.

Therefore, in the eyes of those clubs, Xiaotian's value is not low.

He can't compare to Xu Xinghe, but he's much better than the others.

Everyone else was like a dead fish when they encountered Xu Xinghe, just waiting to be beaten.

If Xiao Tian knew that his net worth had increased so much because of this, he would probably have mixed feelings.

Xu Xinghe, who had just landed, paid no attention to his constantly ringing phone.

He doesn't have an agent, so the clubs can only contact him directly.

He first had a good sleep.

The training intensity during the World Championships was too high. Even though his body could handle it, he was inevitably a little mentally exhausted.

The next day, he called the director and then went to the orphanage where he had lived for many years.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw her and her waiting there.

The dean, dressed in a simple gray dress, smiled and waved at him.

Beside her, the girl stood quietly with her hands behind her back, a faint smile on her face, but undisguised joy in her eyes.

The moment Xu Xinghe saw her, his heart suddenly calmed down.

He walked quickly to the two of them and spoke softly:
"I am back."

"Ah."

The headmistress didn't say much, but smiled and ruffled his hair.
The girl nodded gently and gestured her feelings with her hand.

I watched it, it's amazing!

Xu Xinghe chuckled slightly.

She probably wouldn't understand it, since she's never been exposed to esports before.

But the fact that she was willing to watch it is itself a kind of sentiment.

So Xu Xinghe nodded and skillfully began to gesture to her.

I've always been very capable.

The girl pursed her lips and smiled.

"Alright, alright, let's go in."

The dean smiled like an aunt, holding one hand in each and walking inside.

He kept explaining things as he walked.

"If you have money, keep it for yourselves. If you really can't, I'll go to my husband, he'll provide for you. You don't need to worry about this, understand?"

"By the way, Xinghe, are you still here for the Chinese New Year this year?"

Xu Xinghe nodded.

"This is my home."

Although it's a bit dilapidated, this is indeed his home.

There's no place like home.

Rough words are not rough.

Only here can he find the taste of home.

The headmistress's smile became even brighter.

"Okay, okay."

After leading the two to her office, the dean smiled slyly, closed the door, and left, leaving Xu Xinghe and Chen Yao alone. They looked at each other in silence, then unconsciously laughed.

How have you been since you left a few months ago?

Xu Xinghe looked at his girlfriend, whom he hadn't seen for almost half a year, and was somewhat satisfied.

She's not as thin as she used to be; she seems to be doing quite well.

It's okay, but not great either.

Without hesitation, Chen Yao reached out and took his hand.

With his other hand, he picked up a pen and wrote a line of neat characters on the table.

【I miss you】

Xu Xinghe's eyes trembled slightly as he gently took the other person's hand in his.

"I miss you as well."

Neither of them spoke much, enjoying the rare peace and quiet.

Chen Yao and Xu Xinghe entered the orphanage around the same time.

And the reasons why the two were abandoned were similar.

Xu Xinghe was born with a congenital heart disease, while Chen Yao was born unable to speak.

The two grew up together since they were little. Fortunately, the director paid close attention to the children here and nurtured their values ​​from a young age, allowing them to grow up smoothly without being bullied.

Both he and she were very perceptive and intelligent from a young age.

So I realized very early on that my feelings for him were special; we were childhood sweethearts in the truest sense.

It is worth mentioning that.

Because Xu Xinghe was in poor health when he was young, Chen Yao even went to learn how to fight specifically to protect him.

Of course, in the end it was never used.

After all, this is Shanghai, and it's very well-developed.

Reality isn't fiction; who would be so bored as to bully an orphan?
A year ago, Chen Yao happened to see a job posting for a cartoonist.

After getting into comics, she displayed remarkable talent.

In just a few months, she became a contracted artist with Penguin Comics and gradually moved out of the orphanage.

They would also send a lot of things to the orphanage from time to time.

It was because of her that Xu Xinghe had the idea of ​​leaving the orphanage as soon as possible.

It was at this moment that he bound himself to [Perfect Player Simulation].

In a sense, it's fair to say that Chen Yao led Xu Xinghe down the professional path.

The headmistress outside the door peered inside through the slightly ajar door, looking extremely anxious.

Why just shake hands?

[Why are you being such a coward, Xinghe! Go hug her!]

[Yaoyao is being so proactive! I'm so anxious!]

[Urgent!]

As if she had heard what the dean was thinking, Chen Yao raised her beautiful eyes and silently reached out her hand to Xu Xinghe.

Xu Xinghe was stunned for a moment, then hugged him without hesitation.

Now that things have come to this, he's not the type to refuse or not take initiative.

If you like it, then take action.

At this moment, their hearts drew closer once more, and the atmosphere in the room was filled with warmth.

The dean outside the door suddenly widened her eyes, and her smile gradually turned sinister.

Seeing this scene was definitely worth the ticket price!
Half an hour later, she finally opened the door.

The two had already separated. Chen Yao's pretty face was slightly flushed, but she still held Xu Xinghe's hand tightly and did not let go.

While holding her hand to comfort her, Xu Xinghe sighed helplessly:

"Auntie, have you seen enough?"

He's not stupid; of course he saw the door with such a big crack.

"Hmph, what a loser."

The dean gave him a disappointed look: "Why don't you just kiss her? She can't handle it!"

Xu Xinghe:?

"I don't know what you're in such a hurry for. We're only seventeen."

The aunt snorted coldly.

"I wish you two would get married tomorrow."

Xu Xinghe: ...

This auntie is beyond saving.

I'm really addicted to shipping couples.

Chen Yao's face was already flushed red, and she subconsciously leaned against Xu Xinghe.

It's not like she can't hear.

Xu Xinghe changed the subject and chatted with the dean and the others.

Nothing much has happened in the past six months, nothing particularly significant.

But Xu Xinghe enjoyed this relaxed chat.

He didn't get up to leave until four or five in the afternoon.

He has already noted down Chen Yao's contact information, so they can chat online from now on.

With the progress of the times, there are fewer and fewer orphans.

Therefore, many of the rooms in the orphanage were not cleaned.

He didn't want to trouble the headmistress, so he wasn't planning to stay overnight.

He only released Chen Yao's hand, which he had been holding tightly, and spoke gently as they walked to the door.

"I am leaving."

Chen Yao nodded and gestured to express what she wanted to say.

If you have time, chat with me more.

"it is good."

Xu Xinghe nodded seriously, his figure gradually disappearing into the sunset.

"Why not let him live with you? Didn't you specifically rent a two-bedroom apartment?"

"Clearly, I'm so reluctant to part with it."

The dean stood with Chen Yao, watching him leave.

The dean glanced at Chen Yao, who was watching Xu Xinghe leave without blinking, and asked softly.

Chen Yao shook her head, her eyes gentle.

He has things to do, and I have things to do.

The time hasn't come yet.

Our future is still long.

"Really... being too sensible isn't good either. Aren't you afraid he'll become a womanizer?"

The dean sighed, looking troubled.

Chen Yao curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

I believe in him.

"Forget it, forget it, let's stop looking. Everyone's gone, let's go too."

"Yaoyao, don't leave today, sleep with me."

The headmistress forcibly turned her around and led her into the orphanage as the sun set.

As the sun sets, people on both sides gradually walk away, but their shadows never leave their feet.

Xu Xinghe boarded the bus and took out his phone to check the messages sent to him today.

Unsurprisingly, most of the invitations came from clubs asking him to meet.

He shook his head, showing no interest whatsoever.

Xu Xinghe and Young Master Wang have reached an agreement, and his contract for next year will be amazing.

However, whether it was due to Young Master Wang's peculiar sense of humor or something else, he made a point of mentioning it:
If you encounter a traitor from IG in the future, remember to be ruthless.

Xu Xinghe smiled.

interesting.

So, is it really one traitor per cut?

From now on, I will also become the head of the Xu sect.

However, one piece of news surprised Xu Xinghe.

This message wasn't sent by the club, but rather by the LPL players and teams in their group chat.

LPL Official: @All Members
The 2019 annual gala is about to be held, and the list of contestants has been released to all the major clubs.

Contestants who receive notification should remember to wear formal attire to the venue; absences and early departures are not permitted.

"Annual Gala?"

If he remembers correctly, this year seems to be the year that Uzbekistan won the most embarrassing Player of the Year award in his career, right?

Will I win the Best Jungler of the Year award?
