The air of the playground carries the sweet smell of marshmallows.

Children holding candy and holding their mother's hand are full of joy; peers walk side by side laughing and laughing; couples snuggle closely, and a few couples kiss and kiss their ears openly as if they don't exist...

The whole world seems to be very happy, only Zhuang Yibai is wearing a heavy down jacket, sitting on the bench in a daze with his hands in his pockets.

He looked at the gleaming Ferris wheel in the distance, and what pine said today was floating in his mind.

Why don't you want to act? Even if you were acting at the beginning, didn't it become a habit later on? And friends who have a good relationship will also do things like hooking one's shoulders and using a group photo as a screensaver.

Don't look at Zhuang Yibai who deserves it in his heart now, he can't say shit when he's standing in front of Jiang Yusong.

He tried to analyze whether Jiang Yusong was angry, but he thought about it for a long time... Jiang Yusong never seemed to be angry with him. .

And... Jiang Yusong has no reason to be angry, right?

Xiaobai leaned his head on the back of the chair, exhaled a white mist towards the sky, then picked up the phone and held it in front of him, clicked on Starry Sky TV, and entered Pine's live broadcast room.

The screen was black and pine did not start broadcasting.

Since it's not on the air, why don't you come to the playground with him.

"elder brother."

Xiaobai slowly raised his head and looked at the two petite and cute girls in front of him, still in a paralyzed posture: "Have you finished playing? So fast."

"Because there is no need to queue," the girl blinked: "We're going to play Pirate Ship next, you..."

"I'm not going, you all go." Xiaobai said immediately, "I'll continue to help you look at your bags."

The girl gave a disappointed "ah": "Really not going?"

The best friend beside her couldn't stand it any longer: "Why do you agree to come to the playground with the hamster if you don't play anything?"

Xiaobai actually wanted to pigeon off...

He originally wanted to call to inform the other party, but the other party sent a message saying that they had gone out and waited for him at the milk tea shop next to the school gate.

So he could only come here with the idea of ​​being a driver.

Some time ago, the person who whispered in Jiang Yusong's ear and said that he wanted to go bungee jumping together said, "Sorry, I'm afraid of heights."

The two girls were having a good time. Because there were skip-the-line tickets, they played all the famous big events in the playground, and it was already seven o'clock in the evening when they had a good time.

They made a casual dinner and got to the castle before fireworks time at the fairgrounds.

The front of the castle was crowded with people. Xiao Bai stood behind the two girls to help them avoid the crowd behind him, and listened to their chat absentmindedly.

Listening is listening, but the content does not enter the brain at all.

Everyone around was holding their phones high, only he was out of place.

His clothes were suddenly pulled, and the girl reminded him, "I'm going to let it go—"

boom

Several fireworks lifted off from all over the castle and exploded colorfully in Zhuang Yibai's eyes.

He raised his head in a daze, and after a few seconds, he also took out his mobile phone along with the crowd.

Zhuang Yibai pressed the shutter repeatedly and took more than ten photos.

After taking the photo, he opened WeChat, found the most frequently chatted dialog box, carefully selected five photos from a dozen photos that looked almost the same, and paused for a second before sending them out.

His WeChat name hasn't been changed yet, and it's a bit... humiliating to go to Jiang Yusong now.

I didn't think of a cool WeChat name for the time being. It's definitely not a dead skin, he thought.

Xiaobai exited the photo sending interface, and the chat box was his previous chat with pine. When they chatted, he always sent more and longer words, and Pine's reply was as short as some kind of superior leader. But every message he sent was answered.

After struggling for a long time on the chat page, Zhuang Yibai finally exited the dialog box. He had a strong desire to post pictures, so he simply found someone among his friends and sent them all the pictures.

It's quicker to get back there.

[Fuck ears: ? 】

[Fuck ears: Sent to the wrong person? 】

[P Bao's little assistant: No, I just want to share this beautiful picture with my good friends. 】

[Fuck ears: I'm not interested, don't post it in the future. 】

noob:"……"

The fireworks are flying into my brain and exploding - have they exploded? Why would I send such a beautiful picture to such a man?

After watching the fireworks show, the two little girls said that they were not full for dinner - the things in the playground area are expensive and unpalatable.

They randomly found Haidilao.

The girls chatted hotly, and Xiaobai absent-mindedly rinsed the duck intestines until he was named——

"Brother Bai," the hamster's best friend leaned closer to the table and looked at him eagerly: "Can I ask you for some news?"

Xiaobai: "Huh? What news?"

"Of course it's about the lol transfer period," the girl frowned: "Actually, I'm a fan of pud...I want to ask if Brother Xiu will retire this year? 98k should continue to renew his contract with pud? Has there been a change?"

The lol transfer period generally starts in mid-November and lasts for a month. During the transfer period, e-sports professional players can transfer from one club to another, and the league will also open a window for relevant registration procedures.

But seeing that half a month has passed, the major clubs have not moved. The innocuous second team announced a few players, but it did not attract much attention. The heavy news that everyone wanted to know was still suppressed by the club, and they were all waiting to make big news at the end of the transfer period.

"...The people's club hasn't released the rumors yet. I can't say it." Xiaobai paused: "But there is one thing that can be said. Brother Xiu will not retire, and he wants to play for another year."

"Xiu is awesome!" The girl happily bore a glass of sour plum juice and continued to gossip: "Road said in the finals interview that he will not retire, so he should still stay in ttc; your contract with Qian and ttc has not expired yet. ...soft? He's only signed with ttc for one season right? I hear a lot of clubs talking about him!"

Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and smiled.

No, clubs with a bit of capital are in decline except for pud, and they all rely on their mid laners. As far as he knew, the highest bidder had already shouted to the first eight digits of the third. This is a sky-high price for players who have just debuted in the arena for a year. Although the price of Fu Ge is not low, it is still a little worse than the highest one... After all, many clubs are backed by big companies, and they are counting on Jian Rong to bring traffic, popularity and achievements to their teams.

But it didn't work.

What is money? They are not short of money, they want people.

The girl caught a glimpse of his reaction, nodded and muttered: "Then only the ad position has changed in ttc this season."

"Um... ah?"

Zhuang Yibai, who was about to enjoy the fruits of victory after simmering duck intestines for a long time, raised his head with his mouth open: "What changes? Who changes? Our ad... Who said our ad is going to change?!"

...

Zhuang Yibai didn't even bother to put on his coat, picked up his mobile phone and hurried out of the restaurant.

This kind of phone call is inconvenient to make in front of other people. He found a corner to dial, shrugging his shoulders and shivering from the cold.

Brother Ding didn't answer the phone, he called Lu Baiyuan again, and was picked up when he was about to hang up.

"Brother, what's the situation?" A gust of cold wind blew, and Xiaobai was shaking when he spoke: "Why did someone break the news that pine was going to transfer to mfg? Have you heard about it? eyeball……"

Lu Baiyuan said, "I heard Pine mention it."

Xiaobai paused, his whole body seemed to be frozen: "pine...I mentioned it to you? What did I mention..."

"It might be about leaving the team." Lu Baiyuan put the brewed coffee next to his boyfriend who came to open the room but was holding a laptop to play the rankings. He noticed Xiaobai's silence and raised his eyebrows: "He didn't tell you. ?"

The wind poured into the cuffs of his shirt, and Xiaobai was completely cold. But he seemed to be unconscious, his fists loosened and tightened several times.

"No." He said hoarsely, "Are you sure? Well, then our ad next season..."

"Brother Ding is talking. The current expectation is that the second team's ad Xiaoyu, there are also good ones in the youth training team. For other teams, Brother Ding is more optimistic about tofu."

Xiaobai didn't even bother to think about whether Tofu would join the team and join Jian Rong's shoulders and turn left directly to the police station.

No wonder he had to want to sell corruption with him, even the screensaver and background had to be replaced by him.

Listening to the wind on the other end of the phone, Lu Baiyuan lowered his eyes and said, "I haven't decided yet, but if I remember correctly, pine should go to the mfg base tonight to discuss with their manager in detail. conclusions can be drawn."

Xiaobai's eyes were sore.

He took a deep breath, reached out and rubbed his eyes: "...Brother, why didn't the team keep him, didn't we just win the championship together, why did he have to leave..."

"The price of mfg is good, and the team is willing to play around the bot lane. Pine is young and ambitious, so it's not surprising that he wants to go."

"..."

Feeling Xiaobai's emotions, Lu Baiyuan lowered his eyes and calmly reassured him: "The times have changed, and player transfers are a very common team change. After the transfer, they are still friends, but they won't be training and playing together, so don't be too sad. ."

It was already one o'clock in the morning when pine came out of the mfg base.

Getting in the car, he took out his mobile phone and wanted to re-read the Weibo that he had just swiped two hours ago. The content was "I bumped into Bye and his girlfriend at the playground. Bye also helped his girlfriend carry a bag. It's so sweet", and clicked Twice but found that the phone did not know when it was out of power and turned off.

He looked out the window and took a deep breath, and the cold air rushed from his nose and throat to his heart, and it hurt from being pulled around.

Just know that if you let people go during the day, you may not come back.

Back at the base, he didn't rush in, but leaned against the wall to take out his cigarette and smoked it quietly.

Zhuang Yibai doesn't like the smell of smoke. Although he never said anything in front of him, every time he smoked, that person would stay away from him.

It took another half an hour to finish a pack of cigarettes. Pine turned to open the base door, took off his shoes and entered the house.

The base was dark, with only a few corridor lights on.

So much so that when he saw a blurry black shadow at the door of his room, he stayed there for a second before continuing to move forward.

He secretly thought about it for a night. One day, a long-time boy was sitting at the door of his room like a debt collector. He was wearing only a thin undershirt. ” beep.

Pine touched his knee with his calf.

Zhuang Yibai, who was focusing on his mobile phone, raised his head, his eyes were still irritable and anxious about not being able to make a call. The moment they met their gazes, Xiaobai's frowning brows slowly loosened, and then he twisted them again...

Just as pine was about to speak, he heard a "dong" sound.

Zhuang Yibai threw away his mobile phone and rushed forward and hugged his leg tightly.

pine: "..."

Pine reached out to pull the person away, but looked down and saw Zhuang Yibai's entire face buried in his lap, hugging him tightly.

"Jiang Yusong, you are not human."

The person who was named was immediately put on the spot, with his hand hanging over Xiaobai's hair, and his face was rarely flustered and at a loss.

Zhuang Yibai was crying.
