At the end of August, when Tantai Jingyi's team missed the playoffs and she left the game sadly, preparing to go home and rest for a while, Li Shuyao released her fourth song...
Tantai Jingyi returned to the base and sat on her chair with a sigh. Although she had thought about not making it to the playoffs before, she still wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect...
Alas, I don’t know what will happen next year.
"Jingyi, don't think too much..." The coach came over and sighed: "That's it for this year. Let's work hard next year."
"Coach...can we all still be together next year?" Tantai Jingyi leaned on her chair and was lost in thought.
In fact, this is not the first time she has experienced failure. Failure is normal on the competitive stage. The final winner is always only one team, just those few people, and everyone else is a loser.
Those who are afraid of failure will not come to play e-sports. Any competitor who reaches the end does not have an indomitable heart. Tantai Jingyi is not afraid of failure. She can just come back next time. She is not afraid of criticism, as long as she is strong enough. That's it.
So what makes Tantai Jingyi sad is not the failure, but the separation.
"Don't be stupid. You've worked hard this season and haven't had much rest in the past two years. Let's take some rest to adjust and come back next year." The coach smiled and shook his head, then turned and left.
Maybe, next year he will be on the roster of another team.
The coach is used to farewells. He has seen too much cruelty in the e-sports arena. He used to be a player, and later he was a coach. Seven or eight members of the team have left. If they can do it, they will join. If they can't, they will leave. Someone has left. It is normal for them to transfer at a higher price.
It's just work.
That's why these little kids are so sentimental.
The coach felt a little emotional, maybe this is youth... He was the same way back then. He had seen it a lot and got used to it. Even the world championship team would always experience separation.
This is fate in the arena.
It was getting late, and it was already past 10 pm when we returned to the base after the game. Tantai Jingyi originally thought about going to bed directly, but after thinking about it, it seemed that Yaoyao sent her a WeChat message this morning saying that she would release a new song today. Coming.
Forget it, let's listen to some music to relax our mood.
Tantai Jingyi turned on the computer, opened the League of Legends client out of habit, and was slightly stunned. She wanted to click quit, then thought about it, and minimized it.
Now I feel like something is missing when I turn on my computer but don't open this client.
It seemed that some of the others had gone back to their rooms, and some had gone to eat. She was the only one still in the training room. She didn't wear headphones and just turned on the speakers.
"Daoxiang..." Tantai Jingyi opened Li Shuyao's page at station B and looked at the girl standing in the golden wheat field, slightly lost in thought.
It is another picture drawn by Li Shuyao himself. Looking at this picture makes people full of relaxation and joy.
Sunshine, girls, wheat fields...
The joy of harvest, the relaxation of escapism.
When I first opened the video, I saw a few fireflies dancing up and down in the rice fields at night, some crickets chirping next to the trickling stream, and children laughing and playing.
Easy and natural.
The soft and simple music started to sound little by little.
"If you have too many complaints about this world... cherish everything, even if you don't own it..."
"Remember, you said that home is the only castle. With the fragrance of rice, the river continues to run... Go home, return to the original beauty..."
"Don't give up so easily, just like I said... Just smile. Success and fame are not the goal. Making yourself happy is the meaning. The paper airplane of childhood has finally flown back into my hands..."
"The guitar sounds crisper amid the chirping of insects in the afternoon..."
"The sun shines on the road and you are not afraid of heartbreak..."
"Go home, return to the original beauty..."
"..."
The entire MV is composed of cartoons full of childishness. The scenes are next to the rice fields in the countryside. Children are playing together, catching insects, skating, climbing trees, chasing...
Each picture seems to take everyone back to their childhood, to that carefree time. Even children who grew up in the city must have a carefree dream.
It's not as lively as Platinum Disco, not as intense as Irony, not as profound as In the Name of the Father, but is just plain, natural, joyful and beautiful.
After watching both MVs, Tantai Jingyi gently closed her eyes, and the warm music flowed in her heart like clear rivers.
Gradually, a smile appeared on her lips, and she sighed softly, with some sadness.
Yes, just smile. I just lost the game. I just want to win it back next year... Even the world champion has lost many times.
I won't give up!
As for changing my dream... forget it, I haven't reached the end of this dream yet.
In addition, it's time to go over and take a look at the two girls. I don't know how noisy they are at home, but if Xiao Xiao is here, the house should be very clean.
It’s Yaoyao...
It's amazing that she can get over the grief of losing her parents so quickly. She can get over such a big change in her family. It's just that I can't make it to the playoffs, it doesn't matter.
She has also been to the World Championship, and she has also been relegated to the secondary leagues. Unknowingly, she is already in her fourth year of playing professionally. She has experienced peaks of reaching the semi-finals of the World Championships, and also experienced lows such as not being able to enter the playoffs.
Maybe the coach is right, it's time to rest and recuperate before starting again.
"Jingyi, what kind of song is this?"
While she was listening to the song, several teammates came in. The loss and sorrow on everyone's faces faded a little, and they listened thoughtfully to the song...
"Hey, this sounds like a nursery rhyme."
"Oh, she has released a new song."
"It sounds pretty good."
"Sounds pretty comfortable."
Several teammates nodded to each other. They were no strangers to Li Shuyao. They also knew that Tantai Jingyi knew Li Shuyao, but they just didn't know that she would release a new song today.
Tantai Jingyi nodded and looked at the teammates around her with a complicated expression. She didn't know how many would be left next year, or who would be her opponent: "Yes, it's Yaoyao's new song..." This guy seems to know that I am in a bad mood."
"Jingyi, alas..."
"Why don't we form a team together again?"
"I have no opinion."
"OK."
"Okay." Tantai Jingyi nodded, without turning off the music, and opened the previously minimized game interface.
Several other people also quickly sat down in their seats, turned on the computer skillfully, and logged in to the game.
Soon, the five people began to arrange themselves flexibly.
Tantai Jingyi looked at the interface to start the game with some emotion. Maybe after this time, it will be difficult to gather five more people. Maybe the five of them will never play games together again in their entire careers.
Although we have seen parting several times, we are all young people after all. When we know that we are destined to separate, we will inevitably feel depressed.
However, gradually everyone followed this song and entered the world of the game...
"Come on, come on, assist classmates, join me on the road."
"Haha, that's too bad."
"I'm coming too, I'm coming too, to train him in the military!"
"Hahaha……"
