Chen Guo was never a person who was good at controlling her emotions. She would laugh when she wanted to laugh, get angry when she wanted to get angry, and it was even more troublesome when she wanted to cry. Tears were often the most disappointing thing.
For example, at this moment, when she thought of Ye Xiu's past and state of mind, and realized the pain and helplessness in Ye Xiu's heart, Chen Guo felt a lump in her throat. She immediately knew that she was definitely going to cry.
"I'm going to sleep." Chen Guo immediately stood up, stamped her feet, and then rushed out of the room without thinking.
Ye Xiu was a bit flabbergasted. With his understanding of Chen Guo, he had already prepared himself for a more detailed interrogation. Who would have thought that Boss Chen would just rush out like that?
Ye Xiu scratched his head and looked at Tang Rou. Tang Rou smiled and stood up. "Then I'll go back and rest."
"Okay." Ye Xiu nodded. When he saw the two women preparing to leave, he immediately put a cigarette in his mouth.
Tang Rou walked to the door and opened it. Suddenly, she stopped and looked back at Ye Xiu, who sent her off. "Have you ever regretted running away from home?"
"Never. I just feel a little sorry. If I did, I would have gone back long ago. We're family, "Ye Xiu said.
"You're right." After a moment of silence, Tang Rou nodded, closed the door, and left.
The door of the opposite room was only half closed. Tang Rou was not in a hurry to go in. She leaned against the wall in the corridor for a while before pushing the door open and going in. When she went in, she saw Chen Guo lying on the bed. There was a pillow under her head, and another pillow on top of her head. She buried her head like a sandwich biscuit.
"Aiya, why are you like this? Don't you want your hairstyle?" Tang Rou walked up and said. Chen Guo usually wore her hair in a ponytail. Making such a sandwich biscuit was quite damaging to her hairstyle.
"You're back …" Chen Guo pulled her head out of the pillow and said nonchalantly. The tears on her face had long been wiped clean by the pillow, but her red eyes were enough to reveal the truth. Tang Rou acted as if she didn't see anything. She maintained her usual smile and said, "Go to bed early!"
Very quickly, the room was plunged into darkness. Chen Guo's eyes were still wide open as she stared blankly at the ceiling. Occasionally, the lights would flash, and many strange shadows could be seen reflected on the ceiling.
"Little Tang, are you asleep?" Chen Guo suddenly asked softly.
"Not yet," Tang Rou replied.
"Do you agree with Ye Xiu's reckless way of playing games?" Chen Guo asked.
"Yes," he answered simply.
"But now … he can't play anymore," Chen Guo said.
Silence.
Tang Rou obviously understood what Chen Guo meant. For Ye Xiu, the Pro League should be his stage. But now, he had already retired. In the dazzling All-Star Competition, he could only stand on the sidelines with the many ordinary spectators, as if he was a spectator. At that time, how would he feel?
"It's not over yet!" Tang Rou said.
"Hm?"
"How could someone who decided to leave home give up so quickly? His Lord Grim will definitely stand on that stage again, "Tang Rou said.
"Right, Lord Grim!" Chen Guo thought of that account, "An unspecialized that has never appeared on the top stage before, and his self-made weapon, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. When the time comes, it'll definitely scare a lot of people, right?"
"Yeah, how interesting!" Tang Rou said.
"But …" Chen Guo was still worried. She had always paid attention to Glory and Team Excellent Era. She watched as Team Excellent Era declined day by day, and watched as the media covered the sky and covered the earth with reports of Ye Xiu's decline. Even though she had her own thoughts, Chen Guo couldn't help but be shaken by so many voices.
"It's not that simple!" Tang Rou said after hearing Chen Guo's doubts.
"What?" Chen Guo didn't understand.
"One night …" Tang Rou quickly told her about how Liu Hao and his group had come to the Internet Cafe in the wee hours of the morning.
"There was such a thing!!" Chen Guo jumped up from her bed in surprise.
"So I feel like there's a lot more to his retirement," Tang Rou said.
"You're right!" Chen Guo nodded her head repeatedly.
"But I don't know much about the game, so I can't guess too much." Tang Rou said.
"Uh … I don't know much about the Club's internal affairs either. But with Ye Qiu's experience and position in Excellent Era, I don't think a three-legged cat like Liu Hao would be able to do anything to him. "Chen Guo said. And Liu Hao, who didn't have much of a grudge against Ye Qiu at first, was even supported by Chen Guo because he was the vice-captain of Excellent Era, but in the blink of an eye, he had become a three-legged cat.
"So, just these people alone wouldn't be able to do anything. There must be other reasons adding fuel to the fire, right?" Tang Rou said.
"But in Excellent Era, the only person who could be more powerful than him would be the Club's boss, right?" Chen Guo said.
"If the boss really wanted to do something to him, wouldn't it be very easy?" Tang Rou said.
"In theory … but there are a lot of things that need to be considered, such as the stability of the team, the emotions of the fans, the requests of the sponsors, etc." Chen Guo had never eaten a pig, but she had seen a pig run. After following Glory for so many years, she understood a lot of things.
"If that's the case, take a look … there are people in the team who have a lot of opinions about him, so if he leaves the team, not only will the team not fall into chaos, but it will also become more stable, right?" Tang Rou said.
"Ah … as for the sponsors, he never shows his face, so he doesn't have any endorsements. He also can't do any promotions for the sponsors. No matter how good he is, in terms of sponsors, he's the most useless one …" Chen Guo said.
"As for the emotions of the fans … the team's performance is declining, and the captain's condition is declining. The many reports you mentioned just now, don't they often link these together? Are these reports from the real media, or are there people secretly manipulating public opinion? "Tang Rou said.
After carefully sorting out the clues one by one, the two women discovered that there were many possibilities in this.
"So you're saying that Team Excellent Era wants to kick him out?" Chen Guo was astonished.
"And it's not just Team Excellent Era, they want to kick him out of the Glory pro scene," Tang Rou said.
"That's … too much!!" Chen Guo jumped up again. Thinking of Ye Xiu, she felt a heavy heart. His journey had been difficult, and Team Excellent Era had created an Excellent Era dynasty that would go down in Glory history, but in the end, he had been plotted against. Once the birds are gone, the bow is put away, and the hound is cooked.
"I'm so angry," Chen Guo jumped off the bed, ran over to get a glass of water, and gulped it down.
"These are just our guesses!" Tang Rou said.
"I think it's pretty close to the truth. Otherwise, why would he suddenly retire? His condition deteriorate? Did you know? Today, when he was PKing that Du Ming, he used Rising Dragon Soars the Sky with Dragon Raises Its Head! Dragon Raises Its Head, do you know? You might not know, but he's the only one in Glory who can use that move! Even though he hasn't used it in a long time, he used it again today. His condition deteriorate? That's too much! "Chen Guo said in rapid succession.
"Ah … then I have another analysis. Do you want to hear it?" Tang Rou asked.
"Speak." Tang Rou threw down the glass of water, wiped her mouth, and returned to the bed.
"He said before that he went back home, but they parted on bad terms, right?" Tang Rou said.
"Yeah."
"How's the income of a Glory pro player? Compared to the average person, "Tang Rou said.
"How can that be compared! These guys have sky-high contracts and all sorts of endorsements and commercials. The better ones can earn more in a year than a hundred years as a manager in my Internet Cafe, "Chen Guo said.
"Then what about Ye Xiu? From the very beginning, he was a God at the peak of Glory. Even if his family doesn't understand his achievements, just based on his income, his family should be able to understand: even if there are problems with the pro players, Ye Xiu is an exception. He's already at the top of the pro scene. He shouldn't have any worries, right? "Tang Rou said.
"Yeah … yeah … with his status, he shouldn't have to worry too much," Chen Guo said.
"But in the end, they parted on bad terms, so I'm thinking that his family might not be a normal family. With the status and income of a Glory pro player, his family wouldn't be able to convince him at all, "Tang Rou said.
"Could it be that this guy is a rich second generation?" Chen Guo was surprised.
"That's hard to say, but I feel like his family background isn't simple. Whether it's in politics, business, or some scholarly family, in short, his future has been clearly planned out since he was born. There's some room for choice, but becoming a pro player in a video game? I'm afraid that choice doesn't exist. So, no matter how much he achieves in this field, he won't be recognized by his family, "Tang Rou said.
"That makes sense." Chen Guo nodded her head.
Tang Rou was silent for a while. Seeing that Chen Guo didn't make any further connections, she could only continue: "Think about it boldly. If Ye Xiu can't survive in this circle, where will he go? Is going home one of the choices? "
At this point, Chen Guo suddenly understood: "You're saying that his family might have played a role in him being forced to retire?"
"Yeah … I have my suspicions," Tang Rou said.
"This …" Chen Guo didn't know what to say. If it was just Excellent Era's schemes, then she could righteously support Ye Xiu and look down on Excellent Era. But if it was Ye Xiu's family playing tricks, then it would become a family matter. She had no right to say anything. With what identity? Fan? Ye Xiu's current boss?
"If it's really his family behind the scenes, then his family's background is even more complicated … Perhaps, from the address on his ID, we can find clues to his family background. Or perhaps, it's his family background." Tang Rou said.
Chen Guo was dumbstruck. After a while, she said: "I just realized that when it comes to gossip, you're much more talented than me."
