Zhang Wei was startled, "What?"
Sheng Kuang kicked the esports chair behind him, picked up his phone from the desk, and said, "You know me, I'm crazy and dare to do anything. So I advise you to stop thinking of other schemes and instead focus on the contract termination fee."
The news of Sheng Kuang challenging Yang Sinian to a PK match caused a huge stir, and almost everyone in the club gathered at the door of the training room.
The training room door was not closed, so everyone clearly heard what Sheng Kuang said.
Xiao Mo saw him come out and subconsciously said, "Brother Kuang."
Sheng Kuang reached out and patted Xiao Mo's shoulder, then went upstairs without looking back.
Back in his room, Sheng Kuang opened the closet, casually picked out a white t-shirt, put it on, then grabbed a few pieces of casual wear, stuffed his computer and charging cable into his backpack, and left.
Xiao Mo stood at the door. Seeing him come out, he immediately looked up, "Brother Kuang, are you really leaving GDT?"
Sheng Kuang: "Mm."
"Brother Kuang, after you leave GDT, will you still play games? Are you planning to just..." Xiao Mo's throat choked up. After a while, he managed to utter the rest of his words: "Retire?"
Sheng Kuang chuckled and didn't respond to Xiao Mo's question: "Play well in the competition."
Xiao Mo lowered his head, his eyes red.
Sheng Kuang stood in front of him for two seconds, then turned and left. After a few steps, he stopped: "See you around."
With that, Sheng Kuang raised his foot and, under the watchful eyes of many GDT members, strode away.
The moment he walked out of the GDT base building, he wanted to look back, but ultimately didn't.
A taxi happened to be parked by the roadside, so he opened the door and got in.
As the car started to move, he glanced out the window.
He only saw a corner of the building where he had spent four years.
See you around.
If fate allows, see you in the King's Canyon.
After the taxi had been driving for a while, Sheng Kuang realized that he hadn't turned his phone back on since it turned off earlier.
He took his phone out of his pocket, pressed and held the power button for a few seconds to turn it on, and when the screen lit up, he released his finger. About half a minute later, his phone vibrated wildly in his palm.
After the phone stopped ringing, he looked down.
His WeChat messages had exploded.
Besides Yang Sinian pinging him in the GDT club group asking for clarification about the PK match, Yang Yu, Zhang Wei, and several second-team members who were close to Yang Sinian had also @ed him.
There were so many messages that Sheng Kuang couldn't be bothered to read them. He directly opened the group settings, intending to leave. Just before his finger landed, he thought that if he left just like that, with so many people in the group, would anyone notice? So he changed the group's nickname and returned to the group.
[miracle: @gdt·sinian, noob.]
After dropping this bomb, Sheng Kuang left the group without any hesitation.
Besides the GDT group, many professional esports players also asked him about what happened with Yang Sinian. Among them, Chen Jing sent the most messages.
[CeC·scene: Kuangzai, did you suddenly wake up? Finally started to abuse that bastard Yang Sinian? I've been looking at him with a bad eye for a long time.]
[CeC·scene: Hahaha, that game was satisfying!]
[CeC·scene: Did you see the airplane I sent you?]
[CeC·scene: You can't take all the wins, let him have one, hahahahahahaha, the damage is high, the insult is extreme.]
[CeC·scene: Hurry up and take a picture of Yang Sinian for me, let me see if his face is black right now.]
[CeC·scene: Holy crap? Kuangzai, you're retiring?]
Before Sheng Kuang could reply to Chen Jing's message, Chen Jing's call came through. Sheng Kuang answered, not saying a word, and Chen Jing, on the other end, started chattering like a machine gun: "Kuangzai, you're really retiring? This is too sudden! You're only 20, why retire? Yang Sinian is even a year older than you, you hold on, hold on until he's the one who leaves..."
"Damn it! Sheng Kuang, I'm talking to you here, and you're changing your Weibo name and avatar! Damn it, you changed your Moments too?"
Chen Jing watched as Sheng Kuang deleted everything related to GDT from his social media accounts. He was silent for two seconds, then his tone became much more serious: "Kuangzai, tell me the truth, are you really retiring? Although I told you yesterday that if things really don't work out, you can go back to school, but I was just saying it. Honestly, I still really hope you can stand on the stage again because I know you still have what it takes. It's too unresigned to quit just like this..."
Sheng Kuang, after deleting his last status related to GDT from his Moments, suddenly spoke: "As soon as the spring season ends, it will be the new year's transfer period."
Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, feeling that the sentence sounded a bit familiar. He thought for two seconds and realized that this was what he had said to Sheng Kuang last night: "What? Kuangzai, did GDT finally agree to your transfer?"
Sheng Kuang: "No."
After a pause, Sheng Kuang said, "It's you."
"Chen Jing, do you want to transfer?"
...
Jiang Wan went for further studies and wouldn't be home for the next few months. Lin Jing, thinking she would be alone if she went back, decided to stay in Beijing for the summer.
Jiang Wan didn't object when she heard her decision.
For the two months of summer vacation, Lin Jing didn't want to live in the dormitory. After deciding not to go home for the summer, Lin Jing had been looking for a place to stay.
Before she could find a place, Jiang Wan called, saying she had an old classmate in Beijing who was going on a long business trip this month and had a dog that needed someone to look after. Since Lin Jing was looking for a place to stay anyway, she might as well stay at her old classmate's place.
Jiang Wan was always very decisive. Without asking for Lin Jing's opinion, she created a group chat: "Lin Jing, this is Aunt Qin."
Jiang Wan's old classmate was quite generous. Without asking anything, she immediately sent the address and password to her house, and then sent a voice message that lasted sixty seconds.
"Jingjing, is your name Jingjing? It doesn't matter if it's not Jingjing, Auntie will call you that. Everything in the house is available for you to use. There are many rooms, you can live in whichever one you like. There's a housekeeper, she comes to clean every day. She cooks very well, you can tell her what you want to eat, and she'll buy the groceries. You don't need to pay, she'll keep an account and get reimbursed by me. You don't need to specially take care of the dog, mainly at night. I'm afraid it'll be scared to be alone at home at night."
Lin Jing: "..."
Her accommodation for the summer was thus settled.
On the afternoon of her final exam, Lin Jing packed her belongings and, following the address given by Aunt Qin, took three subway transfers before finally reaching her destination.
Lin Jing had expected it to be a regular residential house, but upon arrival, she discovered that the entire complex was made up of detached villas.
Dragging her suitcase, she wandered around the villa complex for about twenty minutes before finally finding the place.
She walked to the door and entered the six-digit password sent by Aunt Qin on her phone. Not only did the door not open, but she also heard a prompt: "Please enter the correct password." Sudan Novel Network
Lin Jing thought she had pressed a wrong digit and was about to try again. However, as soon as she pressed a digit, the window on the second floor of the villa was pushed open: "You've got the wrong house."
