Chapter 627 New Year, and Perhaps Growth?

"Don't be angry, Xiao Wen, it's okay, Ye Xiu's grandson is this person." Old Wei patted Li Wen's shoulder and comforted him: "The most important thing is that you tied with Ye Xiu's grandson in the away game! You Don’t you notice that other reporters keep asking about this and don’t care whether we win or not?”

After the brief press conference, the Embers returned to the away training room to pack their things.

Li Wen's silent state made the others a little worried. After pushing left and right, it was Lao Wei who came out to top the tank.

"Ah?" Li Wen, who was thinking about Team Happy's tactics, looked at Old Wei with some confusion: "Boss Wei, what did you just say?"

"Uh...it's nothing." Old Wei laughed sarcastically, and the others looked away in tacit agreement.

Although they have been getting along day and night for nearly three years, for some reason, the seniors in Yijin always treat Li Wen as a child.

Well, he is probably on the same level as fellow student Lu Hanwen.

Li Wen scratched his head and glanced at Su Muqiu who was angrily scolding Ye Xiu for being despicable and shameless.

Besides recalling tactics, what Li Wen thought about most was how to comfort Su Muqiu after returning home.

In this scene, Brother Mu Qiu was simply teased by Brother Ye...

"Dong dong dong!"

"Who is it!" Fang Rui shouted angrily.

"Me! Open the door!"

"Good boy, you actually dare to come, right?" Fang Rui opened the door, and Old Wei and Lu Liang dragged them in.

The person who came was Ye Xiu, who had just come out of the conference room, with an unlit cigarette in his mouth: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble."

"Who made trouble for you? You are really not a human being! That's how the rotation seats are used for you, right?" Fang Rui asked sinisterly.

"Learned from you, Ember." Ye Xiu said calmly.

With Ember... well, Team Ember does often make some minor moves in the rotation.

"When is the bus? Are you leaving today?" Seeing that the others were silent, Ye Xiu asked with a smile.

"Tomorrow morning, what's going on, Brother Ye?" Li Wen responded with a smile.

"That's just right. Let's go have a midnight snack together. I'll treat you." Ye Xiu smiled.

"There's no need..."

"Eat, you must eat! Let's agree in advance. It's not a self-service thing, right?" Old Wei asked suspiciously.

"Is this buffet closed? Don't worry, it's a national chain restaurant." Ye Xiu said with a smile.

The others looked at each other and loosened the belt a little without leaving any trace. It didn't matter if they didn't win, Ye Xiu would have to cry no matter what.

"Okay." Li Wen smiled, but he didn't refuse, but he was already prepared to pay for it in advance.

Ye Xiu smiled and watched them pack their things in the lounge here, chatting from time to time. After finishing packing, he went back to the home lounge and called the members of Team Happy: "Come with me, Excellent Era's restaurant I'm familiar with it, it's not easy to be discovered if you go this way."

More than ten people walked towards the outside of the venue while laughing and chatting.

Su Muqiu had regained her energy and listened to Su Mucheng and Wu Jing chatting about cosmetics with a smile. Then she wrote down the brands and asked Xiao Wen to place an order. Well, I placed two copies and left one for Mrs. Chu. .

"By the way, Xiao Wen..." Ye Xiu, who was discussing with Sun Zheping how to deal with forced harvesting in the final stage of the game, suddenly turned around and asked.

Li Wen, who was chatting with Chen Guo, looked up at Ye Xiu with some confusion: "Brother Ye?"

"...No, it's okay." Ye Xiu smiled and shook his head. He couldn't imagine it. If it was really correct, he guessed that the man who called him Brother Ye looked confused and said, "Old Sun, where did we talk about just now? "

"Nervous, don't worry about this guy Xiao Wen." Chen Guo had completely lost her idol filter to Ye Xiu: "There was a girl in my Internet cafe whose screen saver was a photo of your endorsement. The girl is quite nice. , Do you need me to introduce it to you?"

"Okay Guoguo, Xiao Wen is still young." Su Mucheng, who knew something about the situation, stopped her with a smile.

Li Wen smiled sheepishly.

Introducing someone is a matter of...

For some reason, the first thing that flashed through Li Wen's mind was Chu Xue's face.

"Ye Busha... This is the national chain you are talking about, right?" Zhang Jiale looked at the sign at the door and sighed.

"Just tell me if it's...oh, a global chain." Ye Xiu corrected.

This is a McDonald's that is open 24 hours a day. There is a portrait of Zhou Zekai and Yi Gun Chuan Yun at the door. Zhou Zekai has this smile on his face and a cone in his hand.

"That's okay..." Lin Jingyan smiled helplessly.

The person working in the evening was an older lady who did not recognize this group of young people who had just come out of the packed venue in front.

Several people took out their mobile phones and placed orders. Ye Xiu took the mobile phone from Su Mucheng's hand with a smile.

【Depend on! This grandson! Didn’t you say he was treating you to a treat? ] Su Muqiu gritted her teeth and rushed forward to snatch the phone away, but her hand passed through Ye Xiu's hand.

Lu Liang looked at Ye Xiu sourly: "No, buddy, you said you were going to treat me, and then you used Sister Su's mobile phone to pay. Do you want to lose face?"

"How shameless!"

"How on earth does this man survive until now?"

"Is it possible that he had a little bit of face and now it's gone."

Ye Xiu took his time and said, "My salary is all paid to Mucheng."

The others kept silent, but Fang Rui and Zhang Jiale kept looking towards the kitchen, wondering what they wanted to do.

There were quite a few meals for more than ten people. After waiting for a while, everyone took their plates and walked to a secluded place on the second floor.

Several tables were put together, and the food was placed together. The food that was originally intended to be eaten might be taken by others by mistake, so there was another dispute at the table.

At this point, there were more topics to talk about, not limited to Glory, but more like a gathering of ordinary friends.

Li Wen and Baozi talked enthusiastically about the new game that will be released next month. Lao Wei secretly inquired about whether Luo Ji had any special demolition tactics. Ye Xiu and Fang Shijing talked about the situation of the big score.

Lu Liang boasted about Qiao Yifan but was soon exposed by Guo Mingyu and Qin Tianran who knew his background. Tang Rou humbly asked Qiu Fei for advice. Wu Jing blushed and wanted Sun Zheping's autograph. Chen Guo looked at Zhang Jiale and Lin Jingyan expectantly and asked gossip. Su Mucheng beside him smiled and helped to supplement.

Mo Fan sat in the corner, ignoring Bai Shu who had tried to talk to him many times, and just ate fries silently. An Wenyi helplessly explained to Bai Shu that he was usually like this, and he was not targeting him.

"By the way, Xiao Wen, where are you going to spend the New Year this year? Do you want to come to our place again?" Chen Guo asked with some expectation.

Su Mucheng's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay!"

"Eh?" Li Wen scratched his head, a little hesitant, and Su Muqiu, who was a sister control, rarely urged Li Wen to agree.

This is different from last year. Last year, the Happy team had not officially entered the professional league, so Li Wen could naturally come here to celebrate the New Year, but this year Happy has become one of the focuses of the league, and there is no problem with a unified gathering. If they spend the New Year together privately, there will always be rumors.

"Ahem, this year Xiao Wen said that he would go back with me to celebrate the New Year. I will take Xiao Wen to play well!" Lao Wei was the first to come out to smooth things over.

"Hey, that's not right, Boss Wei. Xiao Wen clearly said he wanted to go out and play with me." Bai Shu started to spoil the show.

Others from Ember also started to invite Li Wen to spend the New Year with them.

After Ye Xiu coughed twice, Chen Guo also realized her inappropriateness and stopped talking after a dry laugh.

It's the New Year again...

Li Wen smiled and saw everyone arguing, and his eyes moved to the window where snowflakes began to fall.

The 20th round of the regular season of the 10th season of Glory.

The Ember team played against the not-so-strong Hewu team at home and won nine points from the opponent.

After the game ended, it also symbolized that this year's schedule has come to an end.

After all, it is close to the end of the year. Except for local professional players, no other players will stay in the club to train.

Professional players are still quite tight on time. It is rare for them to get together with their families. Naturally, they have to go back early during the New Year offseason.

The away players basically disbanded on the spot after the game and went home. They had packed their things before coming to the game.

Just like the Hewu team.

The home team also returned to their respective clubs after the game and started to pack up their things.

"Xiao Wen, you really don't want to go together? Let's not talk about other things. I guarantee you can walk sideways in our area!" Old Wei, who was carrying a bag, said unwillingly: "Really not going?"

"No need, Boss Wei." Li Wen smiled and shook his head: "Happy New Year."

"Okay, don't embarrass Xiao Wen." Fang Shijing shook his head: "Let Xiao Wen decide for himself."

"Okay, then we're leaving! Here, red envelope." Old Wei stuffed a thick red envelope over.

In the entire Ember Team, except for the boss lady, Old Wei, who received the last payment from Samsara, should be the richest one.

"Thank you, Boss Wei." Li Wen took it with a smile.

"Although not as much as Lao Wei's, it's still a token of my appreciation." Fang Shijing handed over a red envelope with a smile: "Happy New Year, Xiao Wen."

"Thank you, Brother Fang." Li Wen did not refuse, and watched the two people leave the club door noisily.

Bai Shu left earlier than them, and also left a red envelope for Li Wen.

The fourth person to leave was Lu Liang. Their family was also a big family, and as the eldest son, Lu Liang needed to go back early.

The fifth person was Qiu Fei. Li Wen rarely ordered Qiu Fei to accept his red envelope in a very tough manner.

After that, it was Lin Jingyan and Fang Rui.

"Xiao Wen, are you really not going to City B with us to celebrate the New Year?" Chu Xiong scratched his head and glanced at his sister who was looking out the window at home.

"I'll be in K City." Li Wen smiled: "I can help the R&D department deal with some things these days, which is a big advantage."

"Then I, the manager and general manager of the guild, have to stay to help..." Chu Xiong's eyes lit up, but he was soon interrupted by his sister's dry cough: "My parents said that if you don't go back this year, they will break your legs and you can't go anywhere."

Chu Xiong looked at his sister with frustration, and swallowed his anger and stuffed a red envelope: "Then I'll go drive first, sister..."

"Yeah." Chu Xue nodded.

Chu Xue and Li Wen were the only ones left in the corridor. Although they had been alone together before, he was a little at a loss when facing Chu Xue after Chen Guo jokingly introduced him to someone.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xue asked in a low voice.

Li Wen shook his head: "It's okay, Sister Xue, happy new year."

"Yeah." Chu Xue hummed: "Really not going together? My parents want to see you..."

"Eh?!" Li Wen was stunned for a moment.

"Don't get me wrong... The Embers Club can get to this point now, thanks to you." Chu Xue's face was a little red, and she turned her head away from Li Wen: "They... um, wanted to thank you... That's it."

Li Wen scratched his head: "I didn't do anything either..."

"Forget it, maybe next time." Chu Xue said quickly.

Chu Xue didn't tell Li Wen that, in fact, when he was endorsing Lingmao peripherals, the person who was stern to others but slightly gentle to Li Wen, but with a kind of awkward hostility, was her and Chu Xiong's father.

Her mother had never seen Li Wen in person, and it was she who ordered Chu Xiong and Chu Xue to bring people back this time.

Forget it... maybe next time, I always feel that Xiao Wen has something that he hasn't let go of.

Chu Xue shook her head and gave Li Wen a red envelope: "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year..." Li Wen hesitated for a moment, took out the only two red envelopes he had given to Qiu Fei, and seemed a little hesitant.

"For me?" Chu Xue's lips curled up slightly.

"Well..."

"Then I'll take it."

"Okay."

Chu Xue was about to make a final invitation, but the sound of a trumpet and Chu Xiong's loud voice sounded below, completely ruining this opportunity.

Chu Xue's face darkened, and she seemed to walk with more force.

Li Wen was relieved, because he was afraid that if Chu Xue really asked him, he would...

Thank you, Brother Chu Xiong!

[Leaving? ] Su Muqiu's soul came through the wall and asked curiously, while the other part of his body was still in the R&D laboratory.

Li Wen nodded.

[Are you reluctant? Then just follow him now. ] Su Muqiu said mischievously.

Li Wen shook his head.

Su Muqiu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, floated to Li Wen's side, and reached out to touch his head.

Li Wen tilted his head and looked at the street outside the window, which already had a bit of a New Year's atmosphere: "Brother Muqiu, sometimes, I wonder... Is the past that I want to pursue more important, or is the present more important..."

Su Muqiu was stunned and scratched his head. If he could answer most of the questions about games, at worst, the two of them could pursue them together, but when it comes to the major events in life...

Su Muqiu didn't say anything, floating beside Li Wen and looking out the window together.

Some children who had secretly started to set off the firecrackers they bought lit the firecrackers, followed by the exclamations of their companions and the laughter and scolding of their parents.

Li Wen thought for a long time, but in the end he couldn't come up with an answer.

Perhaps, it will take some time to think slowly...

Is this what growth is?
