The door was pushed open from the outside. Su Xue cautiously poked her head in. When she saw Lin Feng sprawled out on the bed, she couldn't help but jump in fright.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Are you alright?"
Lin Feng didn't reply. He continued to stare blankly at the ceiling.
"What's wrong? Are you too tired or not feeling well? It's a bit cold today. Don't tell me you've caught a cold from outside? " Su Xue asked nervously. She hurried over to the bed and placed her hand on Lin Feng's forehead to check his temperature. "I'm fine. I'm fine."
Lin Feng, who had been staring blankly at the ceiling, suddenly spoke up.
"Sis!"
"What's wrong?" Su Xue asked.
"What do you think I'm supposed to say when I see Eleven?"
Lin Feng's voice was filled with confusion.
Su Xue, on the other hand, was even more confused. "Huh? What do you mean? Didn't you almost not have enough money? "
"I'm almost there. I'll be able to get it tomorrow."
Lin Feng paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm not sure what I'm talking about.
"I heard the news from a friend tonight."
Eleven's in the High Mountain Team. I think they're also in an internet cafe in Sorcery. "
Su Xue stared blankly for a moment. But this time, she finally came to her senses. She couldn't help but exclaim, "The High Mountain Team also has an agreement with an internet cafe? Doesn't that mean your teammate Eleven will also …"
"Yeah."
Lin Feng nodded.
"He's a substitute for the High Mountain Team. He'll probably be in the internet cafe for the next two weekends."
As he spoke, his voice became softer. "That is to say, if I want to, I can directly go to the internet cafe where the High Mountain Team is stationed to see him tomorrow."
"Isn't that a good thing? Or are you saying you don't want to see him so soon?"
"Of course I want to!" Lin Feng's reply was extremely quick, it was almost as if he had subconsciously blurted out.
Su Xue was even more confused.
"Then what's the problem?"
"But … I'm not ready yet. I don't know how I'm going to face Eleven again."
Even the last time he reunited with his former teammate in the LSPL league stadium, he only blurted out a greeting due to his agitation, but then he pretended not to know him and walked away. There was no more conversation between the two.
In fact, in the past few days, Lin Feng had only been thinking about how to raise 100,000 yuan as quickly as possible. He wanted to save his former teammates from the foul "quagmire" of the High Mountain Team as soon as possible.
But as for how he should express his feelings to Eleven in front of him, he had never thought about it carefully.
What should I say first?
What if Eleven chose to reject the offer?
How to persuade him?
What should he do?
There were all sorts of uncertainties. It wasn't until tonight when Lin Feng received news from Little Eight that he suddenly realized how many things he had been lacking in consideration.
Even if he tried hard to think about it, he would not have the slightest clue. He did not have the confidence to get a definite answer.
He couldn't help but feel slightly bewildered by this.
… …
However, after hearing Lin Feng's explanation, Su Xue finally understood what he meant.
So …
It's just a trivial matter?
Su Xue couldn't help but burst into laughter. She clutched her stomach and rolled on the bed.
"Ahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. And here I thought it was something big. So it's just a small problem and you're already in this state. Hahahahaha!"
Su Xue's sudden burst of laughter made Lin Feng feel a little embarrassed. He couldn't help but sit up and protest.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?"
"It's a very serious matter, okay?"
Su Xue sat up again after a long while. However, she still had a mischievous expression on her face as she looked Lin Feng up and down.
"Yes, yes, yes. It's serious. Very serious, okay?
But I have to say, you're usually so carefree that it's like you have a screw loose in your head. I can't believe you actually got so worked up over such a trivial matter.
"What happened to your usual imposing manner?"
Lin Feng couldn't help but scratch his head and droop his head.
"This matter …"
"It's different than usual."
"What's different about it?" Su Xue rolled her eyes. "All I have to do is pull your old teammate out of Team Gao Shan and bring him to you. That's easy!"
"Then what do you think I should do?" Lin Feng asked humbly.
"Simple!" Su Xue waved her hand heroically, looking like a valiant queen. "Just throw a hundred thousand dollars in front of him and say, 'Money in hand, come with me, and we'll continue to eat and drink together'. Wouldn't that be the end of it?"
Huh?
Lin Feng was dumbfounded. He stammered,
"Isn't that … a bit too much?"
"How is it too much?" Su Xue glared at Lin Feng. "That's exactly what I want. If you don't show some spirit, how are you going to convince Eleven? What else can you do? Kneel in front of him and beg bitterly? It's not impossible, but can you do it? "
Lin Feng couldn't help but shake his head as he imagined the scene Su Xue described.
"That's not right either.
I can't. "
"Really?" Looking at Lin Feng from the corner of her eyes, Su Xue's tone softened a little. "Speaking of which, this kind of thing isn't as complicated as you think. It's just because you haven't seen Eleven for too long, and his reaction in the LSPL stadium that you don't know his attitude, right?"
Lin Feng nodded honestly.
Su Xue's tone became solemn again.
"But if you continue to go to see him with no confidence, even if you have a hundred thousand dollars in hand, you still won't succeed."
Lin Feng was stunned.
Su Xue's voice continued to ring in his ears.
"That's the point.
"First of all, you have to have confidence in yourself. To be able to work so hard for a former teammate that you haven't seen for many years, to be able to challenge one internet cafe after another on the streets of Shanghai every day and night, to earn money bit by bit, just so that you can take out enough money to show your sincerity. Isn't that enough?"
"And compared to Team Gao Shan, they're just a third-rate professional team that barely managed to avoid relegation in the LSPL this year. But who are you? You were the strongest mid laner in the world with the leader of the Four Emperors back in the day. You created a new team to fight your way back into the professional esports circle and extended an olive branch to your former teammates, hoping to continue fighting side by side. Isn't this better than staying in a place like Team Gao Shan?"
At this point, Su Xue paused for a moment, then stared at Lin Feng and said word by word.
"And then.
"You should also have confidence in Eleven.
"Believe in his attitude towards you, believe in the feelings between the two of you.
"You were teammates who fought side by side in the past, partners who pursued the dream of esports together, and comrades-in-arms who had the most tacit understanding with each other. You should know better than me how deep this relationship is, and whether it will disappear with time."
"So —
"You should also know better what kind of choice he will make.
"Then, what else is there to worry about?"
