Lin Feng ran off to the side to answer the phone, leaving the three of them alone. Li Shiyi looked at An Xin with concern and worry. Ceng Rui couldn't help but walk up to the girl and berate her in a low voice, "Don't worry.
"Steamed Bun, you were too careless just now."
Yes.
Of course, there is no doubt that you are the most suitable and ideal coach.
But so what? You can easily agree to it, but your current physical condition won't allow you to return to China to be a coach. It's not like how much physical and mental exhaustion a professional esports coach will have on your body. Just based on your current condition … it's not easy for you to leave the hospital for observation.
An Xin stuck out her tongue.
"Sigh, didn't I say that it's limited to the LPL?"
"It's okay …"
Yes, the LPL limit was about half a year, which seemed to be a way to buy time.
But Ceng Rui couldn't help but feel bitter. He blurted out, "Half a year? Can half a year change anything?"
But as soon as he said this, Ceng Rui suddenly realized that he had said something wrong. His expression changed, and a look of remorse appeared on his face. "I'm sorry, I went too far. I shouldn't have …"
Indeed.
Although these words were unintentional, the meaning revealed was incomparably hurtful and poked at some vital points.
In other words, a delay of half a year was meaningless. To put it bluntly, everyone was aware of the girl's condition. There was no guarantee of a cure for such a serious illness, so how could it be easily cured in a few months or half a year?
But they all knew this, and they wouldn't casually mention it for fear of making the girl sad. But at this moment, Ceng Rui couldn't help but blurt out in a moment of desperation.
"It's okay."
An Xin smiled and shook her head. She didn't care about her friend's slip of the tongue.
"I know, Ceng, what you said is the truth. There's no problem."
Li Shiyi couldn't help but speak up.
"But Steamed Bun, didn't you just say that to Lin Feng? Isn't that —"
What Li Shiyi wanted to say was that since he knew that it wouldn't work out, wasn't he trying to deceive her by making such a promise? Although it wasn't a big deal in itself, as a close friend of hers, Li Shiyi clearly knew how serious and sincere her request was. Similarly, the reply and promise that she gave just now … was definitely not perfunctory at all.
Anxin glanced at the corner of the room not far away. Someone was still holding his phone and listening attentively to something. Anxin retracted her gaze and repeated with a smile.
"I know. That's why … it's limited to LPL."
"At least for the next half a year … If it's just before the LPL, with that idiot and you guys, we should be able to fight our way up even without me."
"This way, I can continue to focus on my own treatment for half a year, right?"
"Yep, actually this counts as stalling for time, that's right ~"
Ceng Rui could not help but interrupt, "But what if half a year later —"
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl took over his hand.
"Yep."
"Half a year later, if that idiot really succeeds in making it back to LPL, I will fulfill my promise."
There was a calm and composed smile on the girl's face, as if she was just talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with her. However, the weight of every word she said was enough to make the other two companions' hearts tremble.
"As long as he does it."
"Then … no matter what, I will do it."
Ceng Rui opened his mouth, wanting to refute and persuade her, but in the end, his mouth was full of bitterness and helplessness. "But this … really shouldn't be inappropriate —"
Li Shiyi remained silent. Of course, he also wanted to oppose the girl's decision, but because he was familiar enough with her, he knew that no matter what he said at that moment, it was impossible to change the girl's mind.
"Yes, shouldn't it be inappropriate too?"
"Anyone would think that it's stupid."
The girl nodded in agreement with her companion's opinion, as if she did not mind at all. Then, she looked at the figure not far away, and the light in her eyes inadvertently became extremely gentle and warm.
"But …"
"There's no other way."
"Because … this idiot said that he needs me."
… …
Lin Feng, who had just finished answering the phone, ran back. He keenly noticed that the expressions on the three's faces seemed to be a little different.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
An Xin smiled. "Nothing. Shiyi and Ah Zeng are both happy. They said that in the first half of next year, we have to work hard to make it to LPL. When that time comes, you can pull me onto your pirate ship, right?"
Then, she looked at Ceng Rui and Li Shiyi with a smile.
The two could only force a smile and reply, "Yes, yes, yes, that's right …"
"Oh, that …" Lin Feng scratched his head in realization. He then waved his hand heroically. "Of course! It's just LPL, no problem! Anyway, just wait, Steamed Bun! "
The girl shrugged. "Okay, I'm not in a hurry. Then I'll wait for you ~"
As the two spoke, Li Shiyi could not help but ask Ceng Rui in a low voice, "Steamed Bun's situation … is it really that serious?"
Ceng Rui also replied in a low voice with a bitter smile, "Why do you think I'm in a hurry? I didn't even stop something like this … If the seniors find out, I don't know how they'll blame me — "
"What are you guys talking about?" Lin Feng's sharp ears caught Ceng Rui and Li Shiyi's whispers. He hadn't heard them clearly, but he caught the word "seniors" and became spirited. "Oh, right! Senior One just called. He, Sister Xiao Wu, and Tang Tang are also at this hotel. They're just downstairs, and he wants us to go over. "
An Xin smiled. "Alright, you can finally listen to some gossip. You've been thinking about this all day."
"Of course, of course!" A certain someone immediately nodded and began to urge them. "Alright, let's go downstairs! Let's go! "
Li Shiyi and Ceng Rui looked at each other and saw the guilt in each other's eyes.
Normally, when he saw those seniors … he was naturally happy. But this time, he didn't stop something that shouldn't have happened. He felt a little guilty for not doing his job well. He really didn't know how he was going to face Senior One and Xiao Wu later …
Fortunately, this worry did not come true.
When they went downstairs to the hotel room where No.1 and No.5 were, they saw the two seniors and Tang Bingyao sitting obediently by the side. No.1 smiled and made an announcement to them.
"You're here?"
"First, let me tell you some good news worth celebrating."
