Chapter 39 love
Chapter 39 love
The stadium applauded enthusiastically and cheers resounded. Lin Zhi took off the sound-proof earphones and looked at the bustling stadium. He lowered his eyes to look at the hand beside him, which was still trembling, as if he was expressing his nervousness just now.
He was patted on the shoulder, and the teammates around him stood up at some point. He was surrounded by crowds, his mind was a little empty, and his eyes fell on Ji Ningxia, who was also looking at him.
"Brother." Ji Ningxia smiled at him, "We won."
Only then did Lin Zhi think of something, his footsteps seemed to take root, he walked towards Ji Ningxia, looked down at the young man in front of him, "Win?"
"Yeah." Ji Ningxia said.
The corners of Lin Zhi's lips twitched, and he bent down to lean on Ji Ningxia's shoulder, "I'm not well."
Ji Ningxia was taken aback, looked at Lin Zhi on his shoulder, frowned slightly, and was about to say something, when Lin Zhi said, "I might need to go to the hospital."
There was a "buzz" in her head, Ji Ningxia seemed to be unable to hear anything for a moment, no matter how much applause and enthusiasm, she was cut off from the outside, and there was only one sentence in her ears repeatedly - I might need to go to the hospital.
Is it his hand?
Ji Ningxia recalled those abnormal actions and operations before and after the game, the loud noise last night, the smell of medicinal oil in his hands this morning, and the slanted bullets in the game just now.
It must be so...
Everyone didn't know what happened. They only saw the team that just won the championship leave the field quickly, and they didn't even have time to claim the trophy.
"what happened?"
"what's up?"
They were all asking, but no one answered.
Lin Zhi's face was pale, his forehead was sweating, and Ji Ningxia was holding his wrist with his uninjured right hand.
"How long will it take to get there?" Ji Ningxia asked the driver anxiously.
The Korean's English seems not very good, he wanted to answer, but Korean and English were mixed.
Because she was not familiar with the Korean route, in order to get to the hospital as quickly as possible, Ji Ningxia chose to take a taxi instead of asking Chi Yiheng to take them to the hospital.
I thought that the locals could at least be faster, but I didn't expect that something went wrong in language communication.
Ji Ningxia had no choice but to take out her mobile phone from her pocket and use the translation software to re-translate the words. Although it sounded unreliable, at least she understood.
From registration to hand-watching, Ji Ningxia kept her face cold, her brows never loosened, the corners of her lips were slightly pursed, and she never said a word to Lin Zhi except for necessary exchanges.
He seemed to be holding his breath.
Lin Zhi watched, wanting to talk, but didn't know where to start, the child's face was as hard as a rock, and he had to find a way to cover it up, this is a bit serious today, it can't be coaxed with just a few words.
The doctor said that Lin Zhi's hand was a soft tissue contusion, which is not serious, but it is not completely fine, and it will recover after a period of recuperation. The pain now is due to overuse of the hand.
Although the hands of e-sports are not like laboring hands, the high-intensity training and hand speed requirements make the pressure on the hands no less than that of laboring hands, or even worse.
The two took the medicine and sat on the bench in the corridor together, waiting for Chi Yiheng and the others to come and pick them up. They came out in a hurry and didn't wear masks. Although the popularity of foreign countries is not as good as that in China, some people still look sideways because of their good looks.
Sitting side by side like this, no one spoke for a while, Ji Ningxia's hand was still holding on to Lin Zhi's wrist, as if afraid that the people around him would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"It hurts." Ji Ningxia stared at Lin Zhi's injured left hand, and said in a hoarse voice.
Lin Zhi smiled, but didn't answer the question directly, "Aren't you angry?"
"En." Ji Ningxia replied in a low voice, what can he do?I am so distressed that I am dying, no matter how angry I am, how can I get more distressed.
"Then let's chat for a while." Lin Zhi said.
Ji Ningxia was puzzled and blinked, "Huh?"
"Tell me why I didn't tell you about the hand injury." Lin Zhi looked a little serious. He didn't forget the last time the child said he didn't have team spirit when he made a decision privately.
Ji Ningxia didn't speak, he looked at Lin Zhi and understood everything.
"I don't want to tell you, it was my decision after careful consideration. It was almost time for the game, and no one could take my place. It's useless to say it. It's better not to say it, so that you can play with peace of mind." Lin Zhi said slowly, "I didn't mean to lie to you, I just wanted to play a good game too much."
Lin Zhi's right hand moved, and he held the hand that had been holding his wrist, "I promised you would change it, so I didn't forget the team spirit."
Ji Ningxia looked at Lin Zhi, his lips moved, and the hand that was held backward also clasped Lin Zhi's fingertips, "Yes."
"When I first signed the contract, my contract was only signed after the Asian Invitational." Lin Zhi said.
At that time, he signed in a seemingly chic way, but in fact he knew everything. Chi Yiheng was cautious, and he was worried about Lin Zhi, but he had no other way, so the contract was not signed for a long time.
The Asian Invitational Tournament is over, Orochi's hand injury has healed, and the game is over, Lin Zhi's departure is a matter of course.
At that time, Lin Zhi felt nothing, and felt that it would be good to come back to make up for the regret, even if it was only for a while, but he did not expect that the relationship with TK and this group of children is so good now, which made some things that were logical become embarrassing.
"I was thinking about what to say, but it's not so embarrassing now. I hurt my hand, and the big snake's hand is healed. I can use this to return my position." Lin Zhi had a smile on his face, as if the current Getting hurt is a good thing.
"Can't you renew the contract?" Ji Ningxia asked, "Isn't it just a substitute?"
Ji Ningxia understood why Chi Yiheng would do that, but he didn't want Lin Zhi to leave. It was originally a substitute contract, and Lin Zhi wouldn't hinder anything when the big snake recovered from his hand injury.
Lin Zhi smiled and said nothing, he looked at Ji Ningxia in disbelief.
"I don't seem to have told you how I fell in love with e-sports." He changed the subject and said something else.
"Yeah." Seeing that Lin Zhi was unwilling to say more, Ji Ningxia didn't bother to ask.
"We said on the plane that I first joined TK for a salary of [-] a month and benefits including food and housing."
"I didn't like this industry at the time. I just thought that I could get a salary by playing games. It was a good thing. Even if it turned out to be a lie, I couldn't afford it. I couldn't be fooled." Lin Zhi Recalling, "I am as innocent as most people who don't understand e-sports."
"Who knows that after entering TK, I realized that things are not that simple. The hard training every day subverted my initial thoughts. I felt that I was cheated. Looking at other people who train hard, I think they are really fucking stupid." Lin Zhi paused when he said this, "But I can bear all these."
What finally made Lin Zhi explode was the salary that TK didn't pay after a month. Lin Zhi admitted that he felt cheated at that moment.
Lied to play the game for a month.
It sounds absurd, but that was his initial thought. He didn’t understand e-sports, and he didn’t like e-sports. He came to TK purely for a salary of 3000 yuan. The boss of the team had a fight.
The fight was not brutal, the boss had a bright face, but Lin Zhi was unscathed, because the boss didn't fight back from the beginning to the end, and he just stood there and let Lin Zhi beat him.
In the end Lin Zhi stopped, he didn't say a word of pain, he just said dryly: "Are you still angry?"
Lin Zhi was dumbfounded at the time.
"If you don't get angry, can you not leave?" He said again.
Lin Zhi was even more confused, choked up by this reaction and couldn't say a word, and finally stayed foolishly.
"Why didn't you leave?" Ji Ningxia asked after hearing this.
Why?Lin Zhi also couldn't explain clearly.
"I've already signed the contract, and I'll lose money if I leave." Lin Zhi thought for a long time, and given such a reason, he shrugged his shoulders, as if he had thought of something, "I don't have money, I need money very much."
He said that in his mouth, but in his heart Lin Zhi knew it wasn't because of this, he remembered that person's eyes at that time, it was too tough, as if he was saying to Lin Zhi, you stay.
He was probably moved, so he just stayed.
The surrounding environment can affect a person. After staying behind, Lin Zhi watched others train every day, and he couldn't help but train with him, but even so, he scolded others for being idiots while training.
I feel that this crappy team will close down sooner or later, and I don't understand why they have to work so hard.
Lin Zhi doesn't have any dreams, so he finds it ridiculous when he looks at people with dreams.
Everything changed before that foreign game.
Just like what Lin Zhi said, at that time, TK had to save money for several months before buying air tickets to send a few members of the first team abroad. Looking at the teammates who worked so hard, and the boss who tightened his belt, Lin Zhi Even if it is steel, it is impossible to remain unmoved.
One night before the game, Lin Zhi went outside to smoke. He saw the boss standing on the balcony on the phone. That man was much thinner than when Lin Zhi first met.
Lin Zhi heard his call.
He didn't know what the people over there said, but he always remembered what the boss said.
"Our team is a few good seedlings, and we will definitely win the prize. If we don't send out a competition, we will really be buried."
"I tightened my belt and got through, but they couldn't help but shine."
"Life is hard, but they make me feel that our country's e-sports industry has a future."
"I don't want to give up."
……
Lin Zhi listened to it for a long time, and the soot fell all over the floor.
He doesn't understand what an e-sports dream is, he doesn't read much, and he doesn't think it's his turn to win glory for the country, so before the boss told him about those countries, he listened to it as a joke, but This night, he suddenly understood something.
"So it's not them who are stupid, but me." Lin Zhi looked at Ji Ningxia and said with a smile.
When Lin Zhi had no dreams, he thought it was funny that people with dreams worked hard, but later he found that he was the funniest one.
For the young and frivolous Lin Zhi, e-sports gave him a dream and a future.
Before meeting Lin Zhi in e-sports, he was a mess. He smoothed out many things in his miserable life, but fortunately, he met many people and many things later, which made him wake up in time and let e-sports ignite him of brilliance.
Without e-sports, there would be no Lin Zhi today.
"I'm in love with this business, so every game becomes precious."
At the moment of falling in love, all of his blood was born for e-sports. His past, present, and future were all engraved with a deep brand called e-sports.
Deep into the bone marrow.
The hand I held was tight.
"Little friend." Lin Zhi called out, "I pursue my dreams with passion, how can I be willing to lose."
