Hey Lin Dong, does your team still need people? Yu Luocheng had called Lin Dong's phone .
Yes . Are you interested? Lin Dong asked .
Not me . I met a great player during a ranked game . She is not in any professional team yet . Let me try to persuade her, Yu Luocheng said .
Your instincts are often right . By the way, when is your military training going to end? I need you to go to Da Luo's place with me, Lin Dong said .
Soon .
After he hung up, Luocheng leaned on the chair in the balcony and watched the dark sky quietly .
The lights of the dormitory had been switched off . His face was dimly lit by a nearby lamp post and his black eyes were less vibrant as compared to before . Scenes from the past continuously flashed back in his mind .
Ten expensive computers were placed on a grand stage, bathed in blazing neon lights .
At that moment, Hawk, Eagle, Swan, and Crane, had all fallen . A lone Gull was seen surviving in the jungle . He drew the attention from four opponents and kited them dexterously . His tremendous counter kill on three opponents had bought his teammates enough time to revive .
That was the game which had made Lone Gull famous in the e-sports world . It was owing to him that Team Wings had been able to avoid the sure defeat and had managed to qualify from the group stage .
His IGN was Lone Gull but his teammates usually called him Da Luo .
He was a lazy person and hated long hours of training . He was fond of inventing novel and unorthodox strategies as well as showcasing his personal skills . Though he often fed unnecessarily, it was exactly his risky and wild playstyle that had saved the team from the brink of elimination in that vital game!
Yu Luocheng felt relieved, knowing that Lin Dong was going to recruit them back into the team .
'That's true . They shouldn't have to give up the things that they love just because I have .
He put out his cigarette, the puff of smoke still lingering around him .
Yu Luocheng seldom smoked . He only lit one every now and again . The cigarette smoke soothed him and allowed him to enjoy the silence all by himself .
Of course, he could still hear the creepy laughter from Qiu Jingtai and Jiang Jiu who were stalking pretty girls via their phones . He would filter them off in times like this and focus on his distant memory .
Wow . This girl is coming to our university . Perhaps we will meet by chance on the road one day .
Yup . I like this type the most . Innocent face with a great body, Qiu Jingtai responded .
Dazzling sun, shady greens, and rows of green caps
That was military training .
After the final march, the torturous military training had finally come to an end .
Yu Luocheng did not get much chances to sneak out and play ranked games during this period .
He did check on Shallow Dream's record from time to time when he was free .
Her formidable win-streak had finally came to an end . It had been terminated by an AFK teammate .
Regardless, her supremacy remained undeniable . She had reached 2350 points within a short span of time . Most probably, she wouldn't need long before being crowned the best Caitlyn in the National server .
'I need to put in more effort . Otherwise, I will never meet her in the game again, let alone adding her as a friend . '
Luocheng, are you coming back for the long holiday? Li Yun called and asked .
Li Yun would call Yu Luocheng twice a week but they didn't talk much . Basically, it was Li Yun who asked him all sorts of questions .
I don't think so, Yu Luocheng replied .
Yang Qianqian had decided to come to Shanghai . Besides, it was too early to return home after being away for just one month . This was not the first time he had been far away from his family . It was still too early for him to feel homesick .
Okay . The seasons are changing, remember to put on more clothes .
Shanghai tends to be warmer . How is father doing?
We are still waiting for the hospital report .
'Hospital report?'
Yu Luocheng was puzzled . Yu Jing had long done his surgery . 'By right, he should have fully recovered and doesn't need any further treatment . Or does he?'
What report? Yu Luocheng asked .
Just some follow up checks, he is doing well right now . Just concentrate on your studies . Once he has less worries, then he will be fine . Li Yun comforted Luocheng .
Alright . Yu Luocheng nodded .
Speaking about the matter, Luocheng had a deep regrets .
Despite never bringing it up, Yu Luocheng knew full well that his father's liver disease must have worsened due to the delayed treatment as a result of his abrupt departure .
Yu Yu has won another competition, did you know? Li Yun changed the subject and announced jubilantly .
Wow, that's great Yu Luocheng had no idea . He still remembered the last time she had showed off to him had been before he had started the semester .
You should care more about your little sister, Li Yun reproached Yu Luocheng gently .
I'm busy with military training recently, Yu Luocheng began to defend himself .
Be more attentive . You should remember that she is now an official sportswoman . The country will supply numerous subsidies and foundation money to our family thanks to her . Moreover, she might be allocated a house in the future too
'Mom is right, luckily our home has adopted a more successful kid than me . At least she can make mum and dad happy and also improve their lives . If they rely on me who had previously run away and is still struggling in university, I wonder how many years they still need to suffer . '
After all, their family's limited income had slowly been outrun by the inflation of the current society .
Their house was an aged employee house . All the furniture had been used for more than ten years . They had never renewed their home appliances all these years too . Other than the desktop in his room, nothing in the house fit the modern scene .
Living in such a condition was still far better than living in poverty . However, when you see everyone around you begin to abandon such a lifestyle for a better one while your own family was still stuck in the past, the disappointment and depression would slowly creep in and consumed you . In the whirlpool of self-blame, one would easily admit defeat and accept that they were indeed inferior to the others .
Humans were social beings . Their lives always came down to the family unit as a whole . When other families moved forward while yours remained stagnant, you would eventually succumb to the pressure around you regardless of how positive your mindset was .
Li Yun liked to tell Yu Luocheng about their neighbors' trivial matters . She was actually indirectly hinting for Luocheng to study hard so that he could turn their family fortune around .
Yu Luocheng didn't like Li Yun's nagging because he knew what she was trying to say . He just didn't know how he could help his family achieve a better life .
Luckily, unlike the slacking Luocheng, Li Yun had nurtured Yu Yu into a hardworking teenager .
Recently, Yu Luocheng was convinced that his parents must have made a mistake . He was actually the adopted one in the family rather than his sister . In his younger days, he always did as he pleased and never considered his family's feelings . His irresponsibility in the past had greatly hurt his mother's heart and his father's health . He was no doubt a burden to the family .
'Luckily we have Yu Yu . At least she would bring honor to the family . '
