At nine o 'clock in the evening, Lin Yan and the others finally left Beijing Olympic Park to fill their stomachs.
Guo Hao had booked two large private rooms for the team members, their family members, and the employees. There was enough space for them to sit.
"Today's meal will be a celebratory feast for our YM Competition Department..."
"Hao, what about our colleagues in Shanghai?" Doom was so excited that his face was flushed.
Guo Hao, who had already stood up, raised his glass of Coke. "It's fine. Let's ignore them for now. We'll talk about it when we get back to Shanghai."
"This meal is a reward for all the hard work our team members have put in over the past two months."
A few of the team members could not help but sympathize with their colleagues in Shanghai. Some of them even shed tears.
It couldn't be helped. The Buddha Jumps Over The Wall was too delicious.
Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate. The sound of glasses clinking against each other echoed in the room. The room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Guo Hao was able to win LPL's Best Manager last year because of his eloquence. His speech was flawless, and the family members in the private room laughed heartily.
Halfway through the meal, the atmosphere finally slowed down. Everyone gathered in groups of three or five to talk about other topics.
Su Cheng, who was sitting next to Lin Yan, sent out a congratulatory message on her WeChat moments. She then glanced at the newly downloaded Tieba and started laughing again.
"Why did you download Tieba again?" Lin Yan frowned as he took a sip of orange juice.
"It was normal for them to scold me after I lost the competition." Su Cheng picked up a prawn ball with her chopsticks. "Now that I'm S7's champion, they won't have anything to scold me for, right?"
"Don't look at these things." Su Cheng's mother was a little dissatisfied. "It's so foul."
"Speaking of which," Lin Mingdong pondered for a moment before speaking, "I heard from Lin Yan that Cheng Zi, you're not going to continue working in this job next year?"
Su Cheng swallowed the prawn ball she had just stuffed into her mouth. She took advantage of this short period of time to think about how to answer.
"Last year and this year, it was because the first year's basic and common classes took up a large proportion. Even so, it was already very difficult for me to deal with. The second and third year's professional classes will be even more difficult. I'm afraid that I won't have the energy to prepare for the professional stage."
Father Su, who had been silent all this while, also nodded. "That's good too. Retreat when the tide is turning."
"I still have to prepare for the foreign language exam next year." Su Cheng told him all about her future preparations. "The TOEFL is valid for two years. If I get a high score in my junior year, it'll be easier for me to apply for a school."
"Going abroad?" Lin Mingdong glanced at the two young men opposite him.
It wasn't that he had a problem with going abroad. It was mainly because he didn't think that a long-distance relationship was reliable.
Su Qingsang's mother also looked a little worried.
"It's okay. Chengzi still has two and a half years to go before she graduates from university. When she goes to America, I'll go with her." Lin Yan and his girlfriend smiled at each other. "There's always a team over there that wants to invite me."
Lin Mingdong hesitated for a moment. "Are you coming back?"
"I'm coming back," Su Cheng answered quickly. "After I finish my PhD, I'll probably go back to China to apply for a teaching position."
"If it weren't for the fact that China doesn't recognize Tubo, I wouldn't want to go out."
"Teachers are not bad either." Lin Mingdong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that they were planning to come back.
Su Qingsang's mother got up and went to the bathroom. The conversation ended there.
Lin Yan and his girlfriend's heads were close to each other. They planned to go to the virtual toilet together to relieve their stress.
The Tieba forum was full of jubilant New Year celebrations. The forum members, Xiang Yu, immediately greeted his brother and sister-in-law.
At this time, a call came in. Su Cheng's group was university roommates. While his girlfriend was answering the phone, Lin Yan glanced at Weibo.
Sure enough, Mr. Wang Banbi released a new song.
Then, the top five trending topics were all dominated by news of YM winning the championship.
# Bird's Nest YM
# YM successfully defended their title twice and was crowned king
# Ran two consecutive Fmvp wins
# LPL first division
# Hope that every goal has you
Lin Yan paused. He picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks and held back his smile.
Then Su Cheng ran back with a smile on her face. The two continued to meet in the sense of physics — looking at their phones with their heads above their heads.
Soon, they found the treasure.
[Shocking!
The Crown finals set an unprecedented record. Even Ran couldn't achieve it!]
The Tieba forum had always been good at its job. It was blatantly fishing, but the title was always able to arouse Lin Yan's interest.
You've successfully attracted my attention, woman!
Lin Yan poked the screen and clicked into the post.
The OP was well versed in the elements of water experience. The first post was to attract LSP, then the second post was to talk about business.
"…" Lin Yan glanced at the big white rabbit in the picture and looked away in a panic.
Su Cheng glanced at herself imperceptibly and sighed as if she had accepted her fate.
The OP started his performance amidst the replies of "Is the Baidu Censor your father?".
[The third game of the finals, Crown Knife Ryze versus Brother Ran Lamia. The record is 052, not bad …
Of course, this record is compared to his own two previous games. After all, his biggest enemy is himself. Brother Crown is getting stronger in each game. I can see that there is still improvement.]
After talking for a long time, he finally discussed the main topic. [The first time after the game, as the king of reviewers, I went to look for the statistics.]
Then the OP posted a picture of Ryze's economy and damage panel. There was also Lin Yan Lamia's data next to it for comparison.
The economy panel looked normal, but the damage data was very bright.
Compared to Lamia's 22000 damage, Ryze's pitiful 2.2k looked very shabby.
Su Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud. Her dimples were particularly conspicuous.
Lin Yan was dumbfounded.
"2200 is also human …?"
He didn't dare to continue speaking. He quickly picked up a piece of pork rib to calm himself down. Su Cheng glanced at him. "Isn't it all because of you, big bad guy?"
"I didn't think so much at the time. The game changes rapidly, of course I didn't hold back." Lin Yan was serious. "Who would have thought that Ryze's damage would be so low?"
The reaction of the OP was exactly the same as before. After a few questions, someone sighed.
[What the hell is 2200?
On average, it only deals 440 damage per death?]
[You think?
In the third game, when the camera cut to the middle lane, I saw Crown being chased and bitten by Brother Ran. He didn't fight back at all.]
[How could he fight back … Ryze's hands are shorter than Lamia's, okay?
If he fought back, he would have been chased and bitten to death.]
The OP's performance wasn't over yet. [After that, I found a website with more detailed data and found a detail that would make a UC editor cry.]
He posted another picture. Ryze's damage number was more specific — 2208.
The most abstract thing was that in the column for physical and magical damage, the physical damage was shown as 0!
[Crown didn't even get a normal attack?
I'm speechless.]
[Heaven defying, too heaven defying.]
[This Ryze is really bad … What's a professional player?
Then it's okay.]
[Can't a professional player curse?
I'll go first, I'll go first, I'm really good!]
[A normal bronze player dying five times would deal more than 2200 damage, right?
(dog head)]
Lin Yan couldn't help but slap his thigh in praise.
"Don't touch my thigh," Su Cheng complained.
"Ah … sorry."
Lin Yan just realized that the two of them were a little close to each other when they were talking, and he accidentally put his hand in the wrong place.
He poured a glass of orange juice for his girlfriend as compensation, but he didn't expect to suddenly receive a message on his phone.
The WeChat profile picture was a very cute Ragdoll cat.
He recognized Xiao Hu at a glance.
Tigger: [Congratulations, Bird's Nest won the championship. Amazing.]
Lin Ran typed on the keyboard.
I Really Don't Drink Pepsi: [It's so-so. It's not that we played well, it's mainly that the other team didn't play well.]
Tigger: [Hey, hey, you're acting cool again?]
Lin Yan replied with a question mark.
Tigger: [Boss, give me a red packet to get some good luck.]
I Really Don't Drink Pepsi: [I don't have money, I have to pay the mortgage.]
Although he said that, he glanced at the change in his WeChat. The round number was just 2200, so he simply sent it to the account cancellation. This way, the next time he went out for a meal, he could blatantly ask the other party to treat him.
Tigger: [Boss, what's the meaning of this transfer?]
Lin Yan directly forwarded the post from Crown Ritz to him.
The account cancellation waited for a full half a minute before replying.
[Hahaha, are you serious?
Ritz can deal 2200 damage without an attack?]
I Really Don't Drink Pepsi: [Really, really. I didn't even realize when I was fighting, he actually couldn't attack me …]
Su Cheng went to make another call.
This time, many students knew that there was a girl in their department who was doing data analysis with a professional team.
Once YM won the championship, naturally, there were endless congratulatory messages.
Meanwhile, Lin Mingdong was discussing the Internet Conference in Wuzhen with Su Cheng's parents next month.
Lin Yan couldn't get a word in on this topic. White Crescent drank two glasses of white wine and was crying to Guo Hao about how hard it had been for him in the past few years.
"That OMG fan kept scolding me for not choosing a Carry for Xiyang and always giving him the Big Tree Titan … Whenever he loses, he scolds me. Whenever he loses, he scolds me. I'm numb!"
He choked. "I don't f * cking want to choose for him?
Give me the Khan TheShy, and I'll give him a Jace! "
White Crescent was a little arrogant after winning the championship.
"Then if Xiyang gives him a Jace, can he do a C?
He doesn't have that ability, you know? "
…
If the conversation continued, it would offend people. Lin Yan could only continue the conversation with the account cancellation account.
[Mi De Tiger, with your skill level, you definitely can't hit 2200.]
Dance Dance: [What are you thinking?
I can hit 2200?
Are you insulting my Ryze?]
Lin Yan thought about it carefully and agreed. The account cancellation account cancellation account was Ryze's signature. How could he hit so little?
Li Yuanhao probably knew that Lin Yan had just won the championship, so he didn't have much time to chat with him. After some small talk, they agreed to meet again in Shanghai.
When the gears of time turned to 11 pm, the celebration party finally came to an end.
After Guo Hao paid, he took a group of contestants' family members to the hotel where YM was staying to get their room cards. Of course, Fist wouldn't be responsible for reimbursing this room. YM had to pay for it themselves.
However, Guo Hao, who had won the championship, was rich and didn't care about this small amount of money. The cost of a night's meal and room was not even enough to buy a replica of the Summoner's Trophy.
Lin Yan and Su Cheng walked at the back. The bright moonlight in the sky pulled out two slender shadows in front of them.
The girl kept blowing white air out of her mouth to entertain herself.
"You'll get cold air if you do that." Lin Yan frowned. "You'll have diarrhea tomorrow."
"Oh, oh." Su Cheng quickly shut her mouth.
In front of them, the Shiba Inu was clamoring for coke. Her cousin looked helpless and promised to satisfy him when they got back to the hotel.
"I want to drink too!" Su Cheng pulled her boyfriend forward excitedly.
"Didn't you say I can't drink?" Lin Yan didn't understand the logic.
"Yeah." She nodded. "You can't drink coke. I can drink coke."
Lin Yan was shocked. He didn't think there was such a double standard.
"Drinking carbonated drinks before bed is not good for the stomach." Lin Yan still wanted to stop his girlfriend. "You'll have a stomachache."
"Aiya." Su Cheng felt that it was rare for her to be so presumptuous today. "You drink with us. We'll go for a walk. We can go back and sleep later. Isn't that better?"
"Elbow, follow me into the house." She pulled Lin Yan's sleeve and ran to the Family Convenience Store on the side of the road.
"Is Pepsi or Coca-Cola better?" Su Cheng looked at the row of cans of coke in different packaging and found it difficult to choose.
"Coca-Cola is better." Lin Yan didn't hesitate. He took two cans from the freezer. "This is better than the bottled one."
"You're amazing, Mr. Lin." Su Cheng's eyes lit up. "You've studied this before?"
"The glass one tastes the best, then the tin one," Lin Yan explained. "The machine-made one depends on the manufacturer."
The two bought a large cup of Oden and ate as they walked out.
The other YM members had already left. Fortunately, the hotel was right in front of them. Guo Hao sent them a message, telling them to be careful.
Lin Yan felt that something was wrong. There was a hidden meaning in his words.
While walking outside, he sent a message to Lin Mingdong and Su Cheng's parents.
There's something I need to report to everyone …
Lin Yan felt that it was inappropriate, so he deleted it and retyped it. He considered the words carefully and studied the grammar.
"Try this crispy intestine. It's pretty good." Su Cheng saw Lin Yan working hard. "Open your mouth."
Lin Yan opened his mouth obediently and waited for the crispy intestine to enter his mouth before chewing. He guessed that it was because he didn't put enough piglets. There wasn't much starch, and the rich taste of meat spread in his mouth.
After sending the message and getting the approval of the three parents, Lin Yan raised his head in relief.
At this time, they had already walked near Beijing University of Information Technology. It was 11 o 'clock at night, and there was no one outside the school. In the distance, the dormitory building was brightly lit. Five hours ago, this place would have been very lively, celebrating the championship of Bird's Nest YM.
Su Cheng was addicted to being a breeder. She stuffed all kinds of Oden into Lin Yan's mouth.
"You're not eating?" Lin Yan took another bite of Chaoshan beef meatballs and looked up to ask her.
"I'm eating." Su Cheng smiled. Her beautiful eyes were like the crescent moon in the sky.
Crescent moon, Yue Lun …
Lin Yan slapped his leg hard. He felt that he was about to get an occupational disease.
Why was he thinking about Yue Lun at this time?
"What's wrong?" Su Cheng didn't understand.
"Nothing."
Lin Yan was calm. He opened the tab of the can. The pleasant sound made by carbon dioxide echoed in the silent autumn night sky.
He and Su Cheng didn't have fingernails. It was a bit difficult to open this kind of can. Lin Yan helped her open it.
The two sat on the edge of the campus wall and watched the sporadic traffic on the road.
"I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the canned one really tastes good." Su Cheng took a bite of a Konjac knot. The crisp texture made her close her eyes comfortably.
"Pavlov said that suggestion is the simplest and most typical human conditioned reflex," Lin Yan nodded and said, "I told you before that the canned one tastes better. You have already subjectively affirmed this statement …"
Su Cheng lowered her head. Sitting on the edge of the wall, she crossed her legs. The loose black casual pants still couldn't hide the picturesque curves of her two long legs.
"Oh, no," after listening to Lin Yan's words, she turned her head, "I mean …"
"As long as it's recommended by you, whether it's canned or bottled, I will feel that it tastes good."
Lin Yan's heart was hit by this straight ball. His heart was suddenly in a mess, and his breathing stopped for two seconds.
"Here, this is for you." Su Cheng handed over a string of polar wings.
Lin Yan moved his head closer. His short hair exposed a red ear.
"Hey, are you frozen?" Su Cheng directly touched it with her hand.
Slender and soft fingers stroked his ear. Lin Yan's body trembled and he almost bit the polar wings.
Su Cheng's hand was warm. The temperature was quite normal. How was it frozen?
The result was obvious.
"… No way, no way?" She widened her eyes, "Is this it?
Did Liang Jingru give you the courage to say romantic words in front of more than 50,000 people during the post-match interview? "
Su Cheng proudly took a sip of coke. She suddenly felt that the trick she learned from her roommate when she left the dinner party to make a phone call was very effective.
Lin Yan fiercely bit the polar wings. The originally sweet seafood taste tasted like wax in his mouth.
He looked at Su Cheng's left hand that had let go of his ear. Taking advantage of the gap before she pulled her hand back, he forcefully grabbed her white wrist.
Her wrist was very thin. His burning palm could easily wrap around it.
"Hey, hey, hey, calm down …" Su Cheng raised her eyebrows and suddenly panicked.
This person wouldn't hit a woman out of anger, right?
Then a force pulled her into Lin Yan's arms. Su Cheng quickly held the can in her hand and didn't let the coke spill on the ground.
A second later, she squeezed the can tightly. The aluminum alloy made a unique sound and quickly dissipated in the wind caused by the roar of the car.
Her two long legs involuntarily lifted up. The beautiful curves were soul-stirring.
Lin Yan didn't have time to care at this time.
After seven seconds, he felt that his mouth was full of the taste of Coca Cola. Only then did he let go of Su Cheng.
He had to admit that the taste of canned Coca Cola was really top-notch.
"I …" Su Cheng's mouth was numb and trembling. She let the sweet taste of the polar wings spread in her mouth.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yan asked in a low voice. "Now do you know who gave me the courage?"
Su Cheng curled up her legs. The previous ten seconds made her tight calves a little numb and weak. This feeling was immediately fed back to every corner of her body.
Her body, which was originally stiff because of the cold, quickly softened.
Su Cheng pursed her lips. She now felt like a coward.
"Strong on the outside but weak on the inside."
When she heard her boyfriend's evaluation of her, she suddenly became angry. She raised her head and wanted to let Lin Yan know why the flowers were so red.
But in Lin Yan's eyes, his girlfriend's teary eyes were full of the moonlight in the sky.
Her lips were still a little moist. It didn't seem like the residue of the coke.
Coupled with her cute pretentious expression, it made his heart tremble.
"Don't look at me like that, Su Cheng …"
He wanted to look away, but Su Cheng didn't let him go. She hooked her arms around his shoulders and forced him to look at her.
In just a second, her white fingers once again squeezed the can of coke.
Then, her legs tightened for 22 seconds.
The taste of Coca Cola and polar wings intertwined.
"I was wrong, I was wrong …" Su Cheng's voice was soft this time. "Can I admit defeat?"
"Please, my legs are numb."
This sentence turned in a circle and disappeared silently in the cold autumn night air of the North Fourth Ring Road.
