The quarter-finals ended at four in the afternoon.

K&K prepared the pick-up car in advance. In view of Gun’s good mood today, she and Inin, the two car-riding talents, dare to really get in, ready to go back to the hotel with them.

I just didn’t expect that the car did not follow the expected road, but went to a jewelry store midway.

Ai Qing stood in front of the showcase, idly looking at Ruby, and through the glass cabinet she saw Grunt staring at a showcase with some wonder. She had some wonders. She didn’t expect that people with grunt’s personality would still be interested in jewelry.

And that kind of trance, it seems to have a very strong personal feelings.

The eyes behind his lenses focused on the things in the showcase. Although he didn’t know what he was looking at… it seemed like a man was carefully choosing the ring he wanted to propose.

I don’t know… Is this an illusion.

After Gun got what he wanted, grunt finally made a decision and really bought it.

She was right by the side when signing the order, and she was shocked to see the number. Such a large denomination is worth the sum of his prize money in the past two years. A professional player’s peak period is only a few years, and the money is so easy to spend. …

I am afraid that the most profitable olo in P will not have such a handwriting.

When she got back to the hotel, Dt stopped her and handed her a box: “Grunt asked me to give it to you.”

“Me?” She didn’t answer, a little strange.

“Give it to your sister as a memento of breaking up.”

“My sister?” She was even more inexplicable, “Do you think I would want it?”

Behind the two of them is the revolving door of the hotel. There is a constant flow of people in and out, and conversations in various languages flood the hotel lobby. He seemed to be hesitating about something, was silent for a while, and said, “Find a coffee shop and I will tell you a story.”

this is……

He took the initiative to make this request for the first time.

There will be no match tomorrow, and there is nothing to do at this time. Of course, she has no reason to refuse, so she will go directly to an indoor coffee shop on the first floor with him.

Not a night show, only piano solo, no band and singer.

There are few guests during dinner time.

When the waiter brought the water list, he silently scanned the entire water list and asked in English whether the latte could add hazelnut powder? The waiter thought for a while, laughed, told him that it should be able to meet his request, and jokingly asked him, is it the Toffee Nut Latte that likes to drink Starbucks?

He told each other seriously: “The girl opposite me likes to drink.”

She listened the whole time, until the last sentence, some fingers were numb, and she quickly looked out the French window.

The box was placed on the table.

While waiting for the coffee to arrive, he kept looking at her, as if he couldn’t control some emotions since he picked her up and put her on the bed that night and helped her clean up the room.

even……

Will always think of some pictures.

He wanted to make himself forget the feeling that night, forget, she was in his arms, and asked him softly: “If you don’t know e-sports and have never been in this circle, Dt, what would you want to do?” There is only a thin sling long The skirt, made of pure cotton, with pink hearts, wrapped around her body…

“There is no if,” he put her in the quilt, wrapped her hands and feet tightly, and finally leaned deeply, and hugged her tightly across the thick and soft white quilt. She, “You are in this circle, I will be there.”

Hugged…

This girl who was so far away from herself, so far away.

Although some are in danger, this is the hug he has longed for for ten years.

When she was twelve years old, she stood on the highly anticipated podium, and he still didn’t understand anything.

At the age of fifteen, he finally took a non-professional team. After thirty-seven games, he finally came to her. Before the game and holding her hand, he won her first place after the game. Look rightly at the same time.

……

And ten years later, in a Chicago hotel room, he finally dared to hold her in his arms through the thick cotton while she was drunk. How can such a small and soft body bear so many years of betrayal and misunderstanding.

If I could be born a few years earlier…

Can give you a strong team and a promise that will never dissolve.

The coffee was placed on the table in good time, along with his glass of ice water.

He raised the glass, took a sip of water, two pieces of ice slid into his mouth, and the momentary cold made him sober and calmed down.

Ai Qing also turned her head back and bared her teeth with a smile: “Go ahead, rest assured, no matter what you say, I won’t anger you.” She guessed that this story must have something to do with grunt.

“Grunt has a childhood sweetheart’s first love,” he was never used to be a foreshadowing, and he directly told the core of the story. “From the age of thirteen or fourteen, when she broke up at sixteen, the girl had a new boyfriend.”

She knew all the previous information, but the last sentence was unexpected.

“Later…” Dt was obviously not used to talking about other people’s gossip, but since this was his good brother, he insisted on saying, “The girl broke up and wanted to get back together. At that point, grunt was already with your sister. “

“While in Guangzhou?”

“I don’t know.” Dt was a little embarrassed, how could he know this.

Ai Qing saw his embarrassment and couldn’t help but smile with her chin. He was really interesting, saying that other people’s gossip would also be embarrassing…

“Later,” he was even more embarrassed, feeling that it was not good to say that a strange girl behind his back, “Later—”

“Later–” She teased him, and also learned to prolong the tone. “It’s so difficult for you to tell a story. I heard that now, I have drunk several sips of coffee, and I was about to call the second cup, but I only heard two sentence.”

Dt took another sip of ice water and couldn’t help sighing, “I really can’t speak.”

……

Do you know what happens when you hear the story and hear the turning point? Right now, and the big boy in front of him has no plans to continue talking.

Ai Qing really couldn’t laugh or cry: “Forget it, I understand, are you actually looking for an excuse to have coffee with me?”

“…No,” he immediately sat upright, “really not.”

Ai Qing couldn’t help but laugh again. Although he didn’t hear what he really wanted to hear, he still understood that what he wanted to say was that there was something hidden in it. Maybe it was after the conflict that night that he learned that he wanted to explain for grunt so much, right? She thought so, and picked up the jewelry box: “I’ll call grunt myself, don’t embarrass you.”

She picked up the phone and dialed the phone in grunt’s room.

But I didn’t expect that the one who answered the phone was a strange girl. Hearing her voice, she immediately became aggressive: “Who are you? What are you doing? Talking? I heard your voice, talking, who are you? Ai? Jing? Is it Ai Jing?”

She hung up immediately, looking at Dt blankly.

The latter had no idea what happened, and looked back at her doubtfully.

Ai Qing didn’t say anything. After watching the call, she was dumbfounded for a while, bowed her head, and dialed the domestic number at home. When the phone was picked up, my sister’s voice was a little languid.

“Are you sleeping?” she asked.

Suddenly, there was a dead silence on the other end of the phone.

Only breathing is left, heavier and heavier breathing, and finally become choked: “Ai Qing…”

She heard a sore nose, and immediately reddened her eyes, but she still kept her original voice: “Well, grunt bought you a gift and wants me to transfer it to you. Do you want it? Don’t I give it back. he.”

“Ai Qing…” My sister really started to cry.

Calling her name, except for calling her name, is crying.

She heard a dull pain in her chest.

After listening for five or six minutes, the cry of my sister gradually became dull. Slowly, she finally said: “Ai Qing…I can’t forget him…”

She squeezed the phone, then slowly released it to calm herself down.

“If you can’t forget, don’t force it,” she understood this feeling too well, “Anyway…I can always forget.”

“Ai Qing…” My sister choked up and asked her, “She can’t think about it. She takes a lot of medicine. I have taken her to the hospital many times with grunt. We are about to collapse… I feel so uncomfortable, I really can’t live without it. He… Ai Qing, I can’t do without him…”

On the other end of the phone, far away in the motherland, Ai Jing broke down and cried again.

It seems that I have exhausted all my strength and want to cry so much grievances.

She took the phone, stood up suddenly, and walked quickly outside the cafe.

Many tears flowed out.

She comforted her sister with a steady voice, but she covered her eyes and desperately pressed her tears back.

Behind him Dt had already noticed that she was in a bad mood, but she suddenly collapsed like this. He took out a large banknote and threw it on the table, ran out, and caught up with her.

When I saw her, the phone was hung up.

She was standing in the hotel lobby, standing very close to the wall, facing the wall, with her back to the crowd, wiping away tears with her hands. Until, she felt someone approaching behind her, very close.

Before turning around, I felt that the whole person was wrapped in a huge warmth, from head to toe in a strange embrace…Her back stiffened. There was a warm breath approaching in the ear, and the big boy’s voice was a little low: “Take me as your old friend. Slide, gun, or olo are all fine.”

Let me give you a support.

It doesn’t matter whoever you think I am.
