same day.
The South Korean team landed in Seoul.
It was immediately surrounded by major media.
"Kouma, do you think the coaching job is easy? Why don't you think about it more? Is lack of running-in time a good excuse?"
Hearing the sharp questions, Faker sighed inwardly.
See, that's it.
After answering a few questions reluctantly, the talents managed to get away. Chovy took out a silver medal, which looked really good.
Think about those ferocious media just now.
Is it so shameful to win a silver medal?
But my parents said they were proud of me.
I haven't been home for a long time. After getting off the plane, I took a train and then a bus. The closer I got to the small county town, the more uneasy Xia Sen felt.
Unlike previous years, this year, how should I put it, it feels like returning home in glory.
The bus was driving on the county road. It seemed that a lot of things had been built in more than half a year, and the gymnasium next to it was finally completed.
After arriving at the station, it only takes about ten minutes to walk home.
After Xia Sen got off the bus, the local passengers started discussing the matter.
"This kid must be from a big city. He has a great temperament."
"He's probably a college student. He probably asked for leave to go home for something."
"It's nice to be young."
On the way home, Xia Sen passed by an Internet cafe he used to go to and looked at the sign at the door.
Yes, they have become Internet cafes, but I don’t know whether minors can still go online.
Shaking his head, Xia Sen continued walking forward.
Finally, we arrived at the residential area, an old residential area where the houses were allocated by Xia Sen’s father’s unit. The neighbors were all familiar with each other and were considered educated people.
"This seems to be the kid from the old Xia family."
Watching Xia Sen walking over with his luggage, an aunt who was returning home from shopping for groceries muttered something.
Found unit 3 and climbed to the third floor.
Xia Sen took a deep breath. The door on the left side of the fourth floor was not closed. It was obviously left for Xia Sen.
As soon as I walked in, I saw a familiar figure carrying a plucked chicken.
"mom."
Xia Sen opened his mouth. It had been a long time since he last shouted, so he felt a little awkward.
Knowing that Xia Sen was coming back, Liu Xiaoqin started preparing for the evening dinner early in the morning, and all the relatives would come over.
I am busy at this moment.
"You're back so early. I thought you'd be here later."
"It's not peak season recently, so it's a little faster."
Looking at the endless smile on his mother's face and her gentle voice, Xia Sen felt at that moment that he was really home.
"Your dad hasn't gotten off work yet. He's been a bit busy lately, so he'll probably be back soon."
Xia Sen nodded: "Oh, I'll go put the luggage down first."
I returned to my room with ease, and sure enough, it was spotlessly clean, with all the quilt covers new.
Lying down and smelling the familiar scent of laundry detergent, my heart suddenly felt at peace.
Then I went back to the kitchen to help my mother pick vegetables.
"Don't be too aggressive when your elders speak to you tonight."
Xia Sen nodded. When he stopped studying and started playing professionally, they all called him and scolded him.
I was a stubborn person at that time, so I responded directly and blocked him.
But after two or three years of settling down, Xia Sen no longer has such childish impulses.
In fact, they were really doing it for my own good. Although my grades were not very good at the time, they were more than enough for me to go to high school.
You said you had the chance to stop studying and went out to play games. Who wouldn't be angry after hearing that?
"Why are you so tired? It would be better to go out for dinner."
Xia Sen actually hated having dinner parties at home since he was a child, because every time he had to get up early to prepare the meal, and then clean up the mess after the meal.
"It's okay, they all said they like the food I cook."
As she spoke, Liu Xiaoqin also revealed a proud expression.
Xia Sen was a little helpless. It was always like this. After a tiring day, he would end up at the table with a “It’s delicious” from his relatives.
Is it really worth it? But seeing his mother's smile, Xia Sen didn't say much, since there were only a few such gatherings a year.
"Well, don't keep the money I gave you last time. Use it when necessary. I just went home and saw that there are villas being built by the river. Why don't we move there, or go to Shanghai, where I can buy a house."
When saying this, Xia Sen was particularly proud!
As for Liu Xiaoqin, every time she saw the information on the card, she always felt scared. The number was too scary, and it was rising outrageously every month.
For working class people like them, who are used to a simple life, they don’t know what to do with so much money suddenly.
Liu Xiaoqin was not angry about her son's exaggerated proposal. She just kept asking Xia Sen if he was tired in the past two years. If not, he could go home and rest. Anyway, he had enough money now. As she spoke, her eyes were slightly red. Liu Xiaoqin just blamed herself for not caring about him for the past two years.
Xia Sen was actually a little broken-hearted, feeling aching in his heart. If no one was there, the little pearl would fall. The concern from family members was always the most fatal.
It was tiring, especially when I was a substitute. I really don't want to recall that experience.
However, he still tried to smile: "How can it be tiring? I just sit every day. The food in the club is also very good. Everyone takes good care of me. Anyway, it is definitely easier than studying."
"That's good. Your 18th birthday will be in a couple of days. Then our family will celebrate properly."
"okay."
The county’s No. 1 Middle School covers all grades of junior and senior high schools.
At this time, the principal was still sighing that his small middle school actually produced an Asian Games champion.
The Education Bureau called him and told him that one of their students had made it to the finals of the Asian Games gold medal event. He was so scared that he couldn't even hold the phone.
After asking for his name and getting to know him better, I found out that he was a student who voluntarily dropped out. It's a bit of a pity, but it's okay, as long as he has studied here.
Just yesterday I discussed with Xia’s father about hanging Xia Sen’s photo on the school’s wall of fame.
Today I got in touch with the people from Tencent Esports again and they said they hope to do more publicity and come to our school to shoot some documentaries.
The principal will definitely accept such a request.
During the meeting, there were still some stubborn people who raised objections, saying that it would affect the school spirit.
The principal laughed at that time.
Internet addicted teenager?
Asian Games gold medal! Win glory for the country!
The class group of Class 2 in Grade has been in an uproar since yesterday.
The cause was that someone uploaded a photo of Xia Sen holding a gold medal in the group.
"Do you think this person is familiar?"
"It seems to be my deskmate in junior high school, Xia Sen."
"it's him."
"I heard that he dropped out of high school. What is he doing now?"
“Now I have the gold medal.”
"what?"
“Now I am financially free.”
"what?"
These two sentences shocked this group of college students who had just entered university after the college entrance examination. They had just finished a year-long period of practicing exercises and were preparing to embrace the wonderful college life. Suddenly someone told him that his former classmates had reached such a height without relying on studying.
"He's playing professionally. He won two domestic league championships this year and one world championship. By the way, the prize money for each championship is at least 200 million yuan."
"what?"
"These are not the big parts. Salary is the most important thing. I asked some friends who are familiar with the e-sports circle, and they said that it is normal for the top players in the industry to earn tens of millions!"
"what?"
"He has won so many championships, he should be the best, what about his salary?"
Just a few words scared the students.
The plot of the novels you usually read to relieve stress is happening in real life?
How many zeros are there? Holy shit, is playing games so profitable?
When Xia Sen was in school, he had a few classmates with whom he had a good relationship, but at this time, none of them spoke.
We haven't seen each other for 3 years and have become very distant. The most important thing is that when Xia Sen gave up his studies, his class teacher named him in the group as a negative example.
There was a lot of ridicule at that time, and no one spoke for Xia Sen, including them, so Xia Sen naturally left the group.
We got along well, but that was only when we were classmates. We lost contact afterwards and when we met again, the other person had already become successful.
After all, they are just a group of students who have just entered university. They do not have the materialism of adults yet. Their self-esteem does not allow them to try to establish relationships with others now.
"He used to be really good at playing games. I heard that Internet cafes let him surf the Internet for free."
"Yeah, I thought he was ruined by the game, but I didn't expect him to find another way."
Some female classmates have been secretly asking for Xia Sen’s contact information. They wonder why they didn’t pay attention to him at that time?
Then I thought about it, yes, he is just a nobody in the class, a little handsome, but he doesn't talk much.
I can only say that people who talk less will never be popular among female classmates.
The news in the group was flying all over the place, and the classmates couldn't help but search for news about Xia Sen.
The more I search, the more frightening and dazzling it seems.
Those photos of Xia Sen holding the trophy, especially the one taken alone in London, are so handsome.
Because of Xia Sen, they learned a lot, including the value of winning all regular season games and having three FMPs in the spring and summer MSIs.
Now I know how glorious it is to win a gold medal in the Asian Games!
It seemed that in the e-sports circle, their old classmate had become a god-like existence and they were already regretting having laughed at a young man with dreams.
A boomerang may be late, but it will never be absent.
However, this boomerang was so big that they could not accept it at all.
After the local TV station reported the event, almost everyone in the county knew that an Asian Games champion had emerged from their small place.
