Parallel world, October 8, 2015.
Jinxiu Residential Complex, Suzhou City, China.
"The National Day holiday felt like a dream."
In the cramped bedroom, a thin boy rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat up in bed, yawning repeatedly, his thick, bushy hair a complete mess. "I'm so thirsty."
There was still a half-empty bottle of unsweetened cola left over from last night on the bedside table. The slender boy reached out, grabbed it, and chugged it down in one go.
My brain is finally clear.
The boy instantly perked up, fully recharged, and quickly got up, dressed, and put on his shoes. He went to the bathroom, washed his face, and brushed his teeth. Looking at the pale and thin young man in the mirror, he couldn't help but start daydreaming.
When will I be able to develop an enviable physique like [ Yuan Yan ]?
Yuan Yan is the vice-captain and starting jungler of their Yousu Team. He is also his good brother and apprentice, and the first teammate to swear allegiance to him in private. Their relationship is incredibly close.
At this moment, a special notification sound from WeChat rang.
The boy, toothbrush in his mouth, took out his phone and saw a message from his aunt Su Guihua.
[Family Member - Aunt]: Hanghang, are you awake? Um, there's something I might need to ask you.
[ Imperial Emperor ]: You said it, Aunt.
[Family member/Aunt]: Your cousin is getting married soon, right? The bride price he originally agreed on with the bride's family was 188,000 yuan, but during the National Day holiday, the bride's family suddenly changed their minds and demanded 388,000 yuan, with no room for negotiation.
Your aunt and uncle scraped together 288,000 yuan, but they're still short 100,000 yuan for the bride price. Do you have any money left? Could you lend your aunt some more?
If it weren't for your cousin's urgent wedding, your aunt would never have asked you for help. Your aunt knows it's not easy for you to work hard in Suzhou City on your own, but your aunt really has no other choice but to rely on you.
[ Imperial Emperor ]: Aunt, we're all family, please don't be shy. I'll transfer the money to your bank card right away.
[Family Member - Aunt]: Oh, Hanghang, I really don't know how to thank you enough. I'm always troubling you. If your cousin were even a little bit as successful as you, I would be so grateful.
" Su Hang " opened his mobile banking app and withdrew all 100,000 yuan from his savings account, transferring it to his aunt Su Guihua without hesitation.
"The kindness of raising me is greater than the kindness of giving birth to me. My aunt has been so good to me since I was little, and I must fulfill whatever she asks for."
Su Hang's eyes softened.
When he was 8 years old, his parents and younger sister died in a car accident. He was left all alone and helpless. His aunt, Su Guihua, took him in and raised him until he was 15 and went to high school.
Although neighbors say that his aunt, Su Guihua, only took over his custody for the sake of his parents' hundreds of thousands of yuan inheritance, no matter what, his aunt did indeed raise him for seven years.
"I have 1500 yuan left in my card, enough to last until the team pays their salaries next month."
Su Hang sat back down at the table, looking at the dazzling array of delicious dishes. He pinched his chin, frowned, and looked troubled.
Braised beef, spicy beef, scallion ribs... which should I have for breakfast today?
"Blindfolded selection, leave it to fate. Whoever's chosen is yours, braised beef noodles!"
Su Hang wolfed down his instant noodles, patted his belly, and looked up at the clock. It was exactly 7 a. m., one hour before the team's 8 a. m. check-in time at the base.
"After we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's head to the team's training base."
Su Hang put on his coat and slung his backpack over his shoulder.
Just as he was about to push the door open and leave, he slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot."
Su Hang turned to look at the altar in the entryway, his eyes filled with reminiscence. There, a black and white "family photo" was displayed, showing a young couple and a lovely little girl whose life was forever frozen at the age of 5.
He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes in Qiancheng.
"Mom and Dad, little sister, I'm going out."
Early morning, at the Yousu Team's training base, in the training room.
"Still the first one to arrive."
Su Hang put down his backpack, took off his coat, and changed into his gold team uniform. "Same as always, let's clean up first."
Although there are assigned cleaning duties in the training room, he will take the initiative to clean if he arrives early. After all, as the captain of the Yousu Team, he must do his best to reduce the burden on his teammates.
Su Hang, holding a trash bag, bent down to collect the bottles and jars on the table.
Good morning, Captain.
A familiar girl's voice came from the doorway.
Su Hang's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up.
Two braids hung down in front of her shoulders. The slender girl with light makeup raised her hand, pushed up her round glasses, and smiled slightly. Her floral dress exuded a quiet and elegant temperament.
"Oh, Miaomiao, why are you here so early?" Su Hang hurriedly looked down, his anxious fingers fiddling with the bottles and jars in the trash bag. "It's only 7:30, there's still a long time before the 8 o'clock check-in time."
"It's my turn to clean today." [ Bai Miaomiao ] put down her bag, changed into her gold team uniform, and began cleaning.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot." Su Hang blushed, thinking to himself, how could I forget that it's your turn to clean today? The reason I arrived early was so I could use cleaning as an excuse to spend half an hour alone with you.
Bai Miaomiao, wiping the tactical blackboard, asked, "Captain, what have you thought about what I told you last night?"
Su Hang's heart pounded uncontrollably. "What is it?"
Bai Miaomiao whispered, "Confess."
Su Hang's heart trembled, and the floodgates of memory opened.
Last night, October 7th, Bai Miaomiao suddenly sent him a QQ message.
[Support· Miaomiao ]: Captain, there's something I've kept in my heart for a long time. Maybe you've already noticed, or maybe you haven't, but I really can't hide it anymore. Actually, I've always liked you.
Tomorrow afternoon, I will confess my feelings to you in the team's auditorium. Whether you agree or not, I hope you can come.
At this moment.
Bai Miaomiao put down the blackboard eraser, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and a blush rose on her cheeks, tinging her slender neck. She looked at Su Hang and said, "Captain, I know you're a very gentle person, you shouldn't refuse, right?"
Looking at Bai Miaomiao, who was as beautiful as an angel, Su Hang felt that even the muse was no more beautiful than her. Bai Miaomiao was 18 years old this year and had just graduated from high school. Due to her severe imbalance in her studies, she did not get into a university and therefore did not apply for college.
If Bai Miaomiao hadn't joined the Yousu Team, Su Hang probably would never have met such a beautiful girl in his entire life.
"This, I..." Su Hang stammered. He really wanted to agree to Bai Miaomiao's request to go to the auditorium to accept her confession, but he felt that he couldn't bear such a heavy love, especially putting aside his status Yousu Team.
He was an orphan from a poor family, living on the margins of society. He could accept a life of finding joy in hardship, but if he were to live a life of hardship with Bai Miaomiao, he would feel very sorry for her.
"Hey, you two are here pretty early."
A cheerful male voice rang out.
Bai Miaomiao immediately turned her back, wiping the tactical blackboard as she casually said, "Good morning, Vice Captain Yan."
Luo Yan took off his sunglasses and said, "Good morning, Miaomiao."
"You've arrived, Luo Yan." Su Hang breathed a sigh of relief. Standing before him was a tall, handsome man, none other than their Yousu Team's vice-captain, [Yan], whose real name was [ Luo Yan ].
"Damn it, I misread the time today." Luo Yan tossed aside his suitcase, hooked his arm around Su Hang's neck, and winked. "Otherwise, I would have arrived right on time, just like always."
Su Hang, his face flushed, said, "Gently, gently."
"You're so weak and frail, can't you squeeze out some time to go to the gym with me?" Luo Yan released his hand and said, "You're already the number one player in King of Glory King of Glory, you don't need to spend every day playing it."
We'll see.
Su Hang rubbed his neck, feeling a pang of envy for Luo Yan.
Luo Yan is 20 years old and comes from a wealthy family. His parents own a used car dealership, which reportedly has a cash flow of 1 million yuan. While the Yousu Team members commute by electric scooter, Luo Yan drives a BMW 3 Series.
Worth 300,000.
certainly.
Luo Yan is not only rich and handsome, but also has an excellent physique. He has a long-term habit of working out and has well-developed chest and abdominal muscles. He is a typical muscular and handsome man. When he goes out, women often ask for his WeChat.
"Slash him to death! Slash him to death!"
Seeing Bai Miaomiao go out to take out the trash, Luo Yan put his arm around Su Hang's neck again, gave him a thumbs up, and said excitedly, "Awesome, Captain Hang, you actually did something big behind our backs!"
"Huh?" Su Hang asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
