Red Wen, born in the 00s: Rectifying the King's Canyon

Chapter 276 Want to get married? Dream on.

Fly is a veteran player, having played in so many matches and reached the finals quite a few times.

Why did he look at me like that?

That look in his eyes carried three parts self-blame, three parts longing, three parts disappointment, and one part resolute determination.

Gu Lin'an had also observed the eyes of other players who lost in the finals. There was sadness and disappointment, but it was definitely not like Fly's.

"Long Night, look at the camera and smile," someone reminded him.

He shook his head to stop thinking about it, turned to look at the camera, and gave a warm smile.

"Click."

……

[Date: Friday, Year Month Day, Weather: Sunny.]

After many years, AG has once again won the Silver Dragon Cup.

Everyone was very happy; Sister Feifei was very generous this time, giving them the maximum bonus.

However, Sister Feifei was busy and couldn't come; Lin'an treated us to dinner as usual.

Upon hearing about the bonus that Sister Feifei had given out, Zhong Yi immediately exclaimed that she wanted to go get a foot massage.

[Ahem, he's just a lecherous old man; he'll do anything good if he has money.]

[Ugh, why can't foot baths be covered by medical insurance?]

Cat was writing in her phone's notes app when she noticed her feet were itchy.

Damn, it must be from being infected by Zhongyi.

The group ordered a large table of dishes at the hotel, and Gu Lin'an made an exception and drank a few glasses of wine.

Esports players usually try not to drink alcohol, but who cares about having fun today?

Changsheng was really drunk and started taunting the Wolves.

"Hmph, it's just that I didn't play well today. If I had played well, how could I have let them score two points in a row?"

"Actually, I deliberately let them score two points in a row, otherwise how could we demonstrate our strength?"

"Just look at all these finals, how many teams have managed to come back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2?"

Cat was so frightened that she quickly covered Changsheng's mouth and then closed the door, glancing at the doorway before she did so to see if any paparazzi were around.

If this gets recorded, Changsheng will be finished.

After a few glasses of baijiu, Gu Lin'an felt a little dizzy and the urge to urinate came over him, so he wanted to go to the bathroom.

Zhongyi also got completely drunk; the long-term pressure had finally been released today.

His face was flushed, and as he watched Gu Lin'an leave the table, he laughed and said, "Is Little Gu feeling weak? He's the first one to go to the bathroom."

"Oh dear, Tianyun is going to suffer."

The others also drank, but not as much as Zhongyi, and they all turned their heads away, pretending they hadn't heard anything.

Changsheng silently took out his phone and turned on the recording mode. "Zhongyi, have you had too much to drink?"

"I can't hear a single word you're saying."

"You...you're the one who's drunk."

"I said... I said, is Xiao Gu weak? He's the first one to go to the bathroom."

Chang Sheng smiled and said, "Hehe, it's safe now, it's really safe this time."

"I am now the number one believer of Anmen."

After Gu Lin'an finished using the restroom, he washed his face and suddenly saw a familiar face in the mirror.

It's fly?

I didn't expect Fly to be having dinner at this hotel tonight.

Something's not right. They lost the game tonight, yet they're still in the mood to eat?

These are all incredibly resilient individuals.

After losing the game, Fly and the others were naturally not in the mood for a meal, but considering that Fly would be retiring after today, they still had a farewell dinner.

When Fly saw Gu Lin'an, he showed no surprise whatsoever, as if he had known all along.

After all, Changsheng's howling could be heard several rooms away.

Gu Lin'an felt a little embarrassed, wondering if Fly had heard Changsheng's arrogant remarks.

But she still greeted them, saying, "What a coincidence, you're eating here too."

Fly nodded and said, "I'm having a farewell dinner with my teammates."

"??"

"Farewell dinner? Who's breaking up the party?"

Suddenly, Gu Lin'an remembered the complicated look in Fly's eyes when he received the award.

"No way, you want to..."

Fly nodded. "That's right, I'm retiring."

"I think you've noticed as well that my skills have declined significantly, and it's time for me to leave the KPL stage."

"I've been playing for long enough. To be honest, there are so many people who grumble behind our backs, complaining that we're taking up our spots."

"Now some people should get what they want."

Then Fly asked, "When is that old geezer of yours, Cat, going to retire?"

Gu Lin'an knew that Fly was using a joke to cover up the sadness in his heart.

No wonder Fly wanted to fight him so badly.

"Have you thought it through? What do you plan to do after you retire?"

Fly thought for a moment and said, "After retiring, professional players only have a few options: become a coach or become a streamer."

"Both paths are fine for me, there's nothing to be conflicted about."

“Before that, I have something important to do,” Fly said with a smile.

"What's the big deal?"

"I'm considering marriage."

"After all, my girlfriend and I have been dating for so long, it's time to give her a home. I'm too busy when I'm competing, so retiring is just right."

"Ugh, getting married is a bit of a hassle. There's so much trouble with wedding arrangements, but it's okay, because she's the girl I love."

"Gu Lin'an, why are you looking at me like that?"

"That's true, you don't have a partner yet, so of course you wouldn't understand as a single person."

Fly looked at Gu Lin'an, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

Gu Lin'an, I can't beat you in the competition, and I can't outdo you in being a jerk, so I'll just use other methods to annoy you, hehehe.

I must be able to beat you in at least one way.

Upon hearing this, Gu Lin'an blinked.

He suspected that the kid was deliberately trying to annoy him.

They all knew that Fly had a girlfriend he had been dating for many years, and the two had a very good relationship.

Gu Lin'an's lips twitched, and he patted Fly on the shoulder, saying, "Alright, I wish you eternal happiness."

"necessary."

"I'm not saying anything more, I should go find Little Fatty and the others." Fly waved to Gu Lin'an and left.

Watching Fly's retreating figure, Gu Lin'an's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"Fly, you probably can't go through with this marriage."

At this moment, the system's voice echoed in Gu Lin'an's mind.

【Ding. 】

[Should we use the ability "Blessing of the Cat God" on Fly?]

"determine."

【Ding. 】

[Fly has been blessed by the Cat God, resulting in a comprehensive boost to all of Fly's attributes.]

Since Deathstroke appeared, he hasn't had many abilities, but he still left behind a few basic ones.

This ability was originally intended for use on other members of AG, but Fly provoked me.

Cheap him.

Gu Lin'an chuckled, put his hands in his pockets, and whistled as he left the bathroom.
