“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 . ’
