Chen Guo, who had been struggling with her identity and tone when speaking to Ye Xiu, was irritated by Ye Xiu's nonchalant attitude. She took advantage of the situation and used the burning rage that she was most accustomed to since she met Ye Xiu.
"Yeah." Ye Xiu was as calm as ever. He nodded and asked, "What do you want me to explain?"
"You …" Chen Guo looked like she was about to pounce on him at any moment. Tang Rou quickly came up to smooth things over and pushed the two of them into the house. She said, "Let's talk after we're inside!"
"Sit anywhere you like." Ye Xiu led the two of them in and acted like the owner of the house.
"What's the matter with you?" After Chen Guo sat down, her tone was clearly much calmer. However, it was obvious that she was trying to suppress her emotions. Ye Qiu's identity became Ye Xiu's biggest protection. Otherwise, no one could imagine what would have happened.
"I am Ye Qiu. Didn't I tell you before? "Ye Xiu finally said.
"That counts?!" Chen Guo was furious.
"Then what do I have to do to make it count?" Ye Xiu asked.
Chen Guo was suddenly at a loss for words. That's right! Then what should I say to make her believe me immediately? Chen Guo couldn't help but reflect. However, as she thought about it, she suddenly remembered: Why was I so sure that I didn't believe him? Wasn't it because I just happened to see that guy's ID?
"If you're Ye Qiu, then what's the deal with Ye Xiu?" Chen Guo immediately questioned.
"Ye Xiu is also me!" Ye Xiu said.
"Why do you have two names?" Chen Guo immediately asked.
"That's a deep question," Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo sat up straight and was ready to listen to the origin of the two names. However, even though she was already in position, Ye Xiu had already finished speaking. He also assumed a pose as though he was waiting for Chen Guo to continue.
Chen Guo's expression slowly froze. Tang Rou silently turned her head to look out the window. The origin of the two names was a question that anyone would be curious about. However, Ye Xiu had already made it clear that it wasn't convenient for him to answer this question. Clearly, he didn't plan on changing his mind in less than three hours.
From the reflection on the window, Tang Rou could clearly see Chen Guo clenching her fists and asking, "Why are there two names?" In the end, Chen Guo still asked, even though she didn't believe that Ye Xiu didn't know that he should answer this question.
"I can't tell you that yet." Ye Xiu said.
"Why?"
"Because... it's a secret." Ye Xiu said helplessly.
This meaningless conversation hid the biggest gossip. No matter how much Chen Guo wanted to know, she couldn't force him to open his mouth. She took two deep breaths and calmed herself down before asking, "Then which one is the real name?"
"Take a guess." Ye Xiu kicked the question back.
Deep breaths, deep breaths!
Chen Guo did her best to take deep breaths. Then, she slowly stood up and paced around the room. Finally, she stopped by the window and actually started guessing seriously.
"I've seen your ID. Even though I can't tell if it's real or fake, this time you came to register at this hotel. This kind of hotel is definitely connected to the public security system. There's no problem with your ID, so it doesn't seem like it's fake." Chen Guo said.
"But you also came from the Pro League. As far as I know, Pro Alliance players definitely need to use credentials to register. I don't know if the Pro League allows you to create an alias after registering, and not many people care about this sort of thing. So, it's hard to tell. "
"You've played in the Pro League for seven years, but you've never revealed yourself to the public. If you like to pretend to be mysterious, then you told me you were Ye Qiu when we first met, so I'm afraid this lame reason won't work. You don't want to reveal yourself, so there must be some other reason. Therefore, the name Ye Qiu is most likely a fake one. At the same time, it is also a cover for your identity. Therefore, Ye Xiu is your real name, right? "
Chen Guo finished her guess in one breath. It was quite logical and logical. After saying this, she looked at Ye Xiu and waited for his answer.
Ye Xiu was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "It seems like it's quite easy to guess?"
"What do you mean by it's quite easy to guess! Are you doubting my ability to analyze the problem? "Chen Guo was angry.
"Your analysis is very interesting." Ye Xiu immediately applauded.
"So you admit it?" Chen Guo said.
"Can I not express my opinion?" Ye Xiu said.
"You just don't want me to have a good night's sleep!" Chen Guo clenched her teeth.
"Okay, I admit it. You're right. Ye Xiu, I'm Ye Xiu." Ye Xiu nodded.
"Why are you using a fake name? Why don't you dare show yourself? What are you avoiding?" Chen Guo immediately began gossiping.
Ye Xiu stood up, walked to the window, and looked out. Tang Rou, who was sitting to the side, looked at his face and was surprised to see a hesitant expression. She had never seen this hesitant expression on Ye Xiu's face before.
Chen Guo silently returned to her seat. She raised the question in her heart. If Ye Xiu didn't answer, then she definitely wouldn't continue to ask. At this time, he just sat to the side quietly and didn't say a word.
"Uh …" Ye Xiu turned around, but his face changed into a mocking smile. "The reason is actually very embarrassing."
"Oh?" The two girls pricked up their ears. This guy, he's actually willing to say it?
"Because I ran away from home," Ye Xiu said.
"Ran … away from home?" Chen Guo repeated in a daze. As for Tang Rou, she looked at Ye Xiu with a strange expression, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Why did you run away from home?" Chen Guo asked.
Ye Xiu didn't answer. His face said, "You know."
Chen Guo also immediately understood. She was astonished. "It can't be to play games, right?"
Ye Xiu helplessly smiled bitterly.
Chen Guo and Tang Rou looked at each other. Even Chen Guo, who loved Glory, couldn't understand this at all. Running away from home for the sake of a game, to be so addicted, was this some kind of illness?
For a moment, everyone in the room fell silent. The atmosphere was strange and awkward. No one knew how to continue this topic. Ye Xiu also returned to his seat. His expression was as calm as ever. But when Chen Guo looked at this guy again, she suddenly felt that besides the all-powerful God, the infuriating Internet Addict, he had a new face: an extremely childish child.
"You … when did you run away from home?" In the end, it was still Chen Guo who broke the silence.
"Ten years ago!" Ye Xiu said.
"When Glory first came out?" Chen Guo asked.
"Pretty much."
"You ran away just to play Glory?"
"That's not it. I played a few games before." Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo didn't ask any more questions because there wasn't much point to it. In short, it looked like this guy had run away from home in order to play games to his heart's content. Then, when Glory came out, he threw himself into Glory. Afterwards, he entered the pro scene and became a God-level character.
This ending was very glorious. Chen Guo really hoped that this guy had some kind of tragic reason that forced him to run away. That way, with this glorious achievement, it would be both praiseworthy and tragic.
But unfortunately, Ye Xiu had already said that he had run away for the game. He also admitted that it was a very shameful thing. Even though he had achieved so much now, he couldn't deny that his decision to run away was childish, laughable, shameful, selfish, irresponsible...
Ye Xiu himself was very clear on this point. He was just lucky that he had a talent for gaming. Then, the era of Glory came. Otherwise, it would be hard to say how this farce of running away from home for the sake of a game would have ended.
"Then what about now? You haven't gone home to visit either? "Chen Guo asked.
"I did." Ye Xiu said.
"Oh?"
"We parted on bad terms." Ye Xiu said.
"Why?"
"Because in their eyes, playing games is not a proper occupation." Ye Xiu said calmly.
Chen Guo was silent. As a fan of games, she was very clear on this social phenomenon. The Glory Pro Alliance was thriving right now. The pro players were all very bright and had a decent income and a huge amount of popularity. However, this required them to give up on their studies early on. Their professional careers were very short. After retirement, they didn't have enough resources to stabilize their lives. These serious drawbacks still existed.
In addition, the success rate of becoming a pro player was very low. There were no more than two hundred people who could stand in the pro scene.
No parent would encourage their child to embark on such a path. Every pro player in the Alliance more or less had a painful history behind them. And Ye Xiu's story was just a bit more absurd.
Running away from home for the sake of a game. Even Chen Guo and Ye Xiu immediately felt that this was a bit too much. It could be imagined how disgraceful such an action was in the eyes of those who viewed games as a scourge.
"At least you succeeded!" Chen Guo suddenly said. Because she suddenly felt that the slight disdain she had for Ye Xiu wasn't right. For a certain person, the game was a scourge, an electronic heroin. For players like Chen Guo, the game was a pastime. But for Ye Xiu and the other pro players, the game was like an electronic heroin.
Ye Xiu running away from home wasn't just for a moment of pleasure. Chen Guo felt like she was being a bit harsh on him by using the way most people understood games.
Ye Xiu had also run away for his love, for his dreams, for his pursuit.
If a youth ran away from home with a dream for music, would he receive so much criticism?
If a youth ran away from home with a dream for science, would everyone think that he was very ambitious?
There were many, many examples like this. As for games, it was just that not many people accepted them.
But for Ye Xiu, the color of his dreams and pursuits wouldn't change at all.
"I won't get tired of it even if I play for another ten years!"
Chen Guo suddenly thought of Ye Xiu's smiling words and suddenly had the urge to cry.
