The competition with Baozi and Tang Rou had made Wei Chen feel apprehensive, but in the end, he was in a very good mood. The two rookies with great potential had increased his confidence in the team. He even worriedly discussed with Ye Xiu whether or not they should hide these rookies. At the same time, he asked if there were any other hidden players. After all, a team of four wasn't enough.
This question disappointed Wei Chen. The other two confirmed members of the team, Little Cold Hands and Concealed Light, clearly couldn't reach the level of expectations of Baozi and Tang Rou. However, this didn't make an old guy like Wei Chen feel worried. He and Ye Xiu were the same. They had experienced the initial stages of the Pro Alliance. Comparing the two, they felt that the current situation wasn't bad. On the other hand, the results of the Excellent Era made Wei Chen worry. Even though personally burying the glory he had created and then going back on the road would feel good, an old guy like Wei Chen didn't have the hot-bloodedness of a youngster. He hoped that they could avoid the Excellent Era and win the Challenger League.
For the next day, everyone was busy with their own tasks. Chen Guo supervised the renovations. Ye Xiu, Tang Rou, and Baozi were all leveling. Wei Chen switched back to his undercover account in Samsara and continued to be a hired thug. Because of their different levels in the game, the four didn't interact with each other at all.
The day passed. The next day, Chen Guo woke up very early. She handed over all the renovations to Tang Rou. She had other things to do.
April 4th. This was the year's Qingming Festival. Every year, Chen Guo would visit her deceased father's grave.
After quietly leaving the room and going down to the first floor, Chen Guo was surprised. She didn't expect Ye Xiu to be even earlier than her. He was also dressed neatly and sitting leisurely at the reception desk.
Chen Guo suspiciously turned to the cashier to take a look. Ye Xiu was not only dressed neatly, but also very neatly.
"Morning," Ye Xiu greeted Chen Guo.
"Are you going out?" Chen Guo looked at Ye Xiu's attire and made a guess. It was already April, and the weather was getting warmer. Everyone was wearing the same clothes indoors and outdoors, which made it difficult for Chen Guo to judge.
"Yeah!" Ye Xiu nodded.
"How refreshing! Where are you going? "Chen Guo was curious. Ye Xiu had been at Happy Internet Cafe for four months now. Apart from the All-Star Weekend and the Spring Festival, he never left this street.
"To sweep tombs," Ye Xiu said.
"Ah? Where are you going? " Chen Guo was startled. Because Ye Xiu's younger brother, Ye Qiu, had been here before, Chen Guo knew that Ye Xiu wasn't from City H. If he was going to sweep tombs, could it be that he was also going home?
"Nanshan Public Cemetery," Ye Xiu said.
"Nanshan Public Cemetery?" Chen Guo was startled again, because that was clearly where she was going.
"To see a friend," Ye Xiu clearly saw that Chen Guo was a bit confused, so he took the initiative to explain it to her.
"Oh, I'm going there too," Chen Guo said.
"Let's go together?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Sure, are we leaving now?" Chen Guo asked.
"Wait a minute, Mucheng," Ye Xiu said.
"Oh, Mu Mu is going too!" Chen Guo responded. If it were any other time, being able to interact with Su Mucheng would undoubtedly be a joyous occasion for her. But today was such a special time, so it was obviously not suitable to feel happy because of this.
They didn't have to wait for too long. At 7: 30, Su Mucheng arrived at Happy Internet Cafe on time. Obviously, this was the time that she and Ye Xiu had agreed to meet. As an eSports star with high exposure, especially in City H, Su Mucheng was quite inconvenient to go out. But now that it was winter, it wasn't a good time to dress up like that. Su Mucheng put on a pair of oversized sunglasses and a baseball cap, and just like that, she stood at the entrance of the Internet cafe.
"Let's go!" Ye Xiu got up. Chen Guo had already gone to greet Su Mucheng, and carefully watched for her to see if she had attracted any attention. Ye Xiu just smiled. The three of them went out together, stopped a car, and went to Nanshan Public Cemetery.
Chen Guo was very curious about who Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng wanted to see, but it was not convenient to ask. As for her, although she didn't mention it to Ye Xiu, she guessed that her family affairs were already known to everyone in the Internet Cafe. Ye Xiu probably also heard about it, so she didn't explain it to him.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing. Chen Guo, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, peeked through the rearview mirror and saw that Ye Xiu's expression was as natural as usual. As for Su Mucheng, because she was armed, her expression wasn't easy to see, but she didn't seem too sad either. Chen Guo hesitated whether or not she should find a topic to talk about, but Ye Xiu opened his mouth first, but he didn't talk to Chen Guo or Su Mucheng. Instead, he talked to the taxi driver: "Sir, do you play Glory?"
"What?" The taxi driver was a bit confused by the sudden question.
"Glory, an online game," Ye Xiu said.
"Online game? That's for kids! How could I play it! "The taxi driver said.
The three people in the car suddenly turned into kids. Chen Guo was a bit embarrassed, but Ye Xiu was very natural. He turned his head and said to Su Mucheng: "You can take it off and rest for a bit..."
Su Mucheng quickly took off her sunglasses and sighed: "It's too heavy."
Chen Guo finally understood why Ye Xiu had asked the taxi driver that question. Then, she heard Ye Xiu ask: "You still want the original one?"
"Yeah!"
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Ye Xiu sighed, as if he was happy that he didn't have to suffer.
With this topic, Chen Guo quickly joined in to help with the planning. Once the topic was opened, the atmosphere was no longer dull. Chen Guo and Su Mucheng actively discussed the issue of disguises, leaving Ye Xiu with no chance to interrupt. Just like that, they arrived at City H's Nanshan Public Cemetery.
Even though the three of them arrived early, it was still Qingming Festival, so there were still a lot of people coming to visit the cemetery.
"Do you guys want to buy anything?" Chen Guo asked the two of them.
"Or flowers?" Ye Xiu asked Su Mucheng.
"Okay!"
"Then why don't you go pick?" Ye Xiu said.
"Of course." As Su Mucheng spoke, she and Chen Guo went to a nearby flower shop. After a while, the two of them came out, each holding a bouquet of flowers. Chen Guo bought the most common chrysanthemum, while Su Mucheng bought a bouquet that Ye Xiu didn't know the name of.
"What flowers?" Ye Xiu asked after they came over.
"Birds of paradise."
"Oh." Ye Xiu only responded briefly, not making any comments.
The three of them entered the cemetery, and no one spoke again. They just silently walked along the stone path. Until Chen Guo stopped: "I'm going this way, what about you guys?"
"Oh, we're a bit further away, over there." Ye Xiu pointed to the other end of the path.
"Oh, I know, then I'll go find you guys later?" Chen Guo said.
"Okay, see you later." Ye Xiu said.
"See you later." Chen Guo nodded and said goodbye to the two. She brought her bouquet of flowers to her father's grave.
"Dad, I've come to see you." With a smile, Chen Guo gently put down the bouquet.
"I'm doing well, the Internet Cafe is doing well, but there's one thing that's different from before! A strange guy came to the Internet Cafe. At first, he said he was willing to be an all-night Internet Cafe manager, but later I found out that he was actually an amazing person. He was a professional esports player, and one of the best. Haha, if it was someone else's dad, they definitely wouldn't think that this was amazing, but you're different. You run an Internet Cafe, so you know a lot about online games! For such an important person to come to our Internet Cafe to be an Internet Cafe manager, don't you think it's strange? "
"Later I found out that he had a conflict with his original team, and was forced to retire. However, he didn't have any intentions of giving up, and was preparing to form another team to fight his way back to the pro scene and win the championship. As for me, I decided to fiercely support him. This is another important decision I made after taking over the Internet Cafe. I've never had any dreams or ideals. Uh, I hope that you can come back to life, I do, but that's just a fantasy! Only something that can be realized with one's own efforts counts as a dream, right? Right now, I want to work hard with them. What do you think about supporting a team? It's amazing, right? Although it feels a bit difficult, I think it can be overcome. You don't have to worry about the Internet Cafe losing money! Because although that guy was sometimes a mess, and even some of the guys he found were also messed up, he always felt that they were very reliable people! The feeling of being together with them is very good. I think that the goal we're working towards together will definitely be realized. When the time comes, I'll definitely come and tell you. Wait for my good news! "
Standing in front of the grave, Chen Guo softly said all of this to her deceased father. Even though he was no longer here, the feelings of worry between them would never disappear. Even time wouldn't wash away this feeling. Chen Guo hoped that her father would know that she was doing well. She hoped that her father would be able to share her interests and happiness with her.
"Okay, I'll be leaving first. I'll come see you next time. Who knows, maybe I'll have good news for you!" Chen Guo smiled as she turned around and left. She walked back to the stone path and walked in the direction that Ye Xiu had pointed at.
Chen Guo had been sweeping tombs in Nanshan Cemetery for many years now, so she was quite familiar with the place. She knew which cemetery Ye Xiu had pointed at. This cemetery hadn't been opened when her father was buried. As for when it had been opened, Chen Guo couldn't really remember.
Thinking of this, Chen Guo walked to the side and walked past row by row. She quickly found Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng's figures and stood there side by side.
Chen Guo didn't go over because she knew that many people might have things to say to their friends and family when they were sweeping tombs. It was really inconvenient to have outsiders around.
Chen Guo didn't go over, but from this distance, she could clearly see the name engraved on the tombstone.
Su Muqiu?
Chen Guo was startled. From the name, it seemed to be Su Mucheng's relative.
