Ceng Rui, Dou Zi, and Li Shiyi's conversation came to an abrupt end when Lin Feng approached them with a glass of wine in his hand.
Some things, or rather, some people …
It wasn't convenient to bring it up again in front of Lin Feng.
Ceng Rui's expression didn't change in the face of Lin Feng's curiosity. "Nothing. I was just talking to Eleven about the S1 season."
Beside them, Dou Zi also laughed.
"Oh yeah, I heard Eleven say that you and Lin Feng dominated the professional scene in the S1 season. You guys were amazing!"
He even gave Lin Feng a thumbs up to show that he was persuasive.
"Amazing!"
Lin Feng, who was obviously a little tipsy, did not suspect anything. He listened with a smile on his face.
"Really?"
"Yeah, you're right. Eleven and I were super strong back then!"
"Eleven was really good as a jungler back then. You guys know Nian Thirteen, right? Back in the Asian region, Eleven beat him to a pulp. Hahahaha!"
He was so pleased with himself that it was as if he was the one who defeated Nian Shisan.
Li Shiyi broke out in a cold sweat. "Don't, Lin Feng, don't brag on my behalf. Even back then, Thirteen and I were about the same level. There was no way to tell who was better."
Dou Zi chimed in.
"That's already very impressive."
"He's one of the Seven Kings now! He's one of the top two junglers in the world! His net worth is almost in the eight digits! "
Lin Feng nodded in agreement.
"That's right. That's why I said that if Thirteen has such a high net worth, how can Eleven be treated worse than him?"
Li Shiyi glared at Lin Feng.
"Alright, we've already talked about the salary. Don't think about changing your mind."
This was a warning.
Lin Feng's face was full of righteousness.
"Of course, Eleven. What kind of person do you think I am? Words that have been spoken are like water that has been spilled. Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back!"
"Really?" Li Shiyi asked doubtfully.
"Really!" Lin Feng swore.
Before the teammate in front of him could relax a little and was about to nod, someone came up and added, "But it's not suitable for you to have no source of income after leaving the High Mountain Club. After all, there are many places to spend money in a big city like Shanghai —"
Dou Zi looked at Lin Feng curiously: "Lin Feng, what do you mean?"
A certain someone seemed to have prepared a script in his mind. He waved his hand confidently.
"The fixed salary remains the same. It's still 8,000."
"But we can pay the salary in advance!"
His words made sense, and Ceng Rui and Dou Zi subconsciously nodded in agreement. They looked at a certain someone with surprise in their eyes. It was rare for someone to be able to remain so clear-headed even after drinking so much wine. It was indeed not easy for someone to be so clear-headed.
However, such thoughts were destined to be slapped in the face by reality in the next second.
Someone paused for a moment.
Afterward …
He added,
"In my opinion, how about giving Eleven twenty months' salary in advance?"
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Unaware of the change in the atmosphere, a certain someone was still looking around excitedly to gain the support of his teammates. "Hey, what do you guys think? I think it's a good idea. Why aren't you guys saying anything?"
Li Shiyi sighed.
Dou Zi helplessly rubbed her forehead.
Ceng Rui ignored a certain someone and raised his glass to the other two. "Come, let's drink."
The other two also raised their glasses.
"Let's drink."
… …
The celebratory feast lasted until late at night.
In the end, everyone was basically full. The only thing left was to find reasons to drink. On the boys' side, Lin Feng dragged the other three to drink. On the girls' side, Tang Bingyao and Kamiya Saka seemed to be in high spirits. One was full of fighting spirit, while the other was smiling sweetly with a murderous look in her eyes. Although they were just girls, the speed at which they drank was no less than the boys.
It wasn't until it was almost 11 o 'clock that everyone finally ended the celebratory feast.
In the end, Lin Feng forcibly paid the bill. Li Shiyi originally wanted to pay for it himself, but Lin Feng bluntly retorted:
"Save it, you."
"It's only a few thousand a month. Why are you pretending to be rich?"
"Seven or eight hundred for a hot pot meal. How can you live in the future if you treat us?"
Lin Feng didn't leave any face for his former teammates.
If this kind of thing was said in front of others, anyone would feel ashamed and angry. But to Lin Feng, it was as if he didn't have any scruples. In fact, it was precisely because of the relationship between the two of them that they didn't need to care about such so-called superficial issues.
Li Shiyi could only smile bitterly and helplessly accept his teammate's kindness.
"Alright."
"Then let me treat you next time."
… …
After paying the bill, everyone prepared to leave.
When they arrived at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, Lin Feng seemed to suddenly remember something. He looked at the other members of the NetCube Internet Cafe team.
"Oh, right.
You guys go back first. I still have something to do here with Eleven. "
His tone was nonchalant.
But Dou Zi, Ceng Rui, Tang Bingyao, and Kamiya Saka couldn't help but look at each other. They vaguely guessed that Lin Feng and Tang Bingyao had something to discuss in private, so they tacitly agreed and didn't ask too much.
So the other four said their goodbyes and left in a taxi.
In the end, only Lin Feng and Li Shiyi were left standing at the bottom of the stairs in front of the hot pot restaurant.
It was already night.
It was unknown when the night wind started to blow, but it carried with it a bit of the chilly air of autumn.
Feeling the cool night breeze on his face, Lin Feng closed his eyes in satisfaction. The drunkenness from before seemed to have dissipated a bit. He sighed with satisfaction.
"This feels so good!"
Li Shiyi did not say anything. He stood quietly beside his partner and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale the cool night air into his lungs. He also slowly closed his eyes, enjoying the rare moment of peace and tranquility in his heart.
Indeed.
It had been a long time since he felt so comfortable and peaceful.
Lin Feng turned his head slightly to look at Li Shiyi.
"These past few years …"
"It's been hard on you."
When the words left his mouth, he was no longer as carefree as he was when he was drunk at the hot pot restaurant. Once again, he became serious and solemn.
When Li Shiyi heard this, he opened his eyes again and met Lin Feng's gaze, but he shook his head.
"Actually, I'm fine.
But … "
"Lin Feng, you're the one who's really worked hard."
He wasn't being modest or polite. His words came from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't say it directly.
But the complicated meaning and emotions contained in his words were easily understood by Lin Feng. He didn't need to refute it, because the person standing in front of him was his teammate who knew him the best.
So Lin Feng fell silent.
After a while.
He suddenly raised his head and smiled again.
