Chapter 55

It was easy to guess who ‘that person’ was; who ‘that person’ was that Shi Luo didn’t even want to mention back then.

“Shi Luo’s really tough.” That afternoon, in the lounge, Old Qiao hadn’t noticed the slight change in Yu Sui’s expression after hearing that statement. He sighed, “At the time, the match was supposed to start right away. There were four players from the NSN second team and none of them left the lounge. The competition organizers were in a hurry. No matter what the situation, they wanted them to compete first and then discuss the matter later. The three other players on NSN’s second team hesitated on whether they should just play the match first. What if the other team hadn’t played a fake match just now? What if they were penalized because of this later on…”

“Shi Luo though insisted that there was something wrong with the other team. He couldn’t be persuaded by anyone. He sat smoking in the lounge and refused to come out. It was his refusal that created quite the commotion and the secondary league officials launched a thorough investigation regarding the fake matches. ”

“When you pull out carrots, mud goes with it. A bunch of dirty players were suspended from the competition. All three of Xiao Jun’s teammates were banned for life. Xiao Jun was hit hard at that time and almost got into a fistfight with his former teammates, but fortunately, in the end, he slowly got over it.”

“His own personal skills are pretty good, only that he was dragged down by his bastard teammates. With his bastard teammates gone, he trained hard and played hard. He played better and better. A year ago, there was a match where his skills shined and all of a sudden, Ten Thousand Mountains’ senior management took notice of him and had him join their team as a starter. Now… Xiao Jun’s in the first league and Ten Thousand Mountains’ senior management values ​​him a lot. His teammates here work together with him to play really well. He’s proven the saying that out of extreme adversity comes the beginning of good luck.”

“Xiao Jun has always been very grateful to Shi Luo but he’s never had a chance to cross paths with him. And you know Shi Luo. It’s not easy for people to get close to him. So the two of them aren’t friends, they’re just sort of old acquaintances.”

“Shi Luo himself doesn’t like mentioning these things. But at the time, after he refused to play the match, NSN’s executives and Gu Gan were very satisfied when they found out about it. Later, they told me that he had proved himself worthy of being a player from e-sports’ holy land, Team FS; he’s a truly proud and unyielding character. ”

It still wasn’t too late in the evening by the time they finished eating hotpot. The place where they ate hotpot was next to Hongyadong. Instead of going back directly to the hotel, they decided to walk around Hongyadong.

Yu Xie walked very slowly. He looked at Shi Luo’s tall back and recalled what Old Qiao had said. He thought that it had nothing to do with FS.

Although Shi Luo had later mentioned Yu Sui, Yu Sui didn’t think it had anything to do with him either.

Shi Luo was born like this.

Yu Sui had just been overly anxious.

With or without him, Shi Luo wouldn’t have let himself go, nor would he have given in to despair. He would have grown into an admirable player regardless.

Yu Sui didn’t think he deserved any credit for this, because Shi Luo’s proud and unyielding spirit was something innate to him; he was born with it.

“What’s the matter with you?” Old Qiao fell back two steps to walk beside Yu Sui. He looked at Yu Sui’s face. “Your face has been looking all blank since we ate. What’s the matter? Are you still thinking about that matter with Shi Luo? It’s been so long. Shi Luo himself has probably forgotten about it.”
