Chapter 50 I can also talk, I can also love
Five years can change a lot of things. It can turn the door knocker into a verdigris color, cover the stone slabs with moss, and can also bring Ah Wei back to life.
But some things don't change with time.
After the reunion, Chu Yi and Lin Siyao would still sit side by side like they did when they were children, talking about their experiences over the past five years.
Perhaps because he has too few friends, Lin Siyao has a strong desire to express himself in front of Chu Yi.
She used very vivid language to describe to Chu Yi a bizarre secret realm of the North Sea.
There are colorful deer that are taller than a three-story building; there are whales that can soar into the sky without wings; there are cicadas that can only live for one autumn, but can always come back to life in the spring of the following year.
The ocean there is vaster than the largest ocean in reality, and the pets in the sea can be hundreds of feet in size just with their dorsal fins!
There were so many rare and exotic animals that Lin Siyao couldn't finish even if he gave a rough description in one night.
It can be heard that Lin Siyao's experiences in the past five years have been fulfilling and wonderful, and are something that most of his peers will never be able to experience.
Finally, Lin Siyao's mouth was dry. He took a sip of the juice and asked, "Chu Yi, what have you done in the past five years?"
Chu Yi was immersed in the fantasy world outlined by Lin Siyao. When he heard these words, he suddenly felt like he had just woken up from a dream.
"I haven't left Donghai City in the past five years." Chu Yi scratched the back of his head with a smile, "I'm also quite self-disciplined every day. I study and spar with my classmates at school. At home, I exercise and help my parents with housework. Occasionally, I go to the Children's Palace to play beast battles."
I have high emotional intelligence and I live a very disciplined life.
I have low emotional intelligence and my life is extremely boring.
"Is that all?" Lin Siyao's eyes were filled with surprise. I always thought I had worked hard enough, but I didn't expect you to work harder than me!
"Work hard?" Lin Siyao's words confused Chu Yi. He thought Lin Siyao would say something like: Your life has been too boring in the past five years.
“You really work hard.”
Lin Siyao nodded in approval: "My master always says that I am lazy and playful, and I only spend three or four hours a day exercising.
But just these three or four hours were already very hard, I don’t know how I managed to hold on during the first two years.”
"Three or four hours?" Chu Yi's eyes widened after hearing this. "Three or four hours is only enough for me to warm up."
Lin Siyao covered his forehead helplessly: "Then she will definitely like you very much. My master is a martial arts fanatic. Every day she is either practicing or challenging others. She has no time to spare."
Chu Yi smiled and replied: "Everyone has their own interests and hobbies. In fact, the world you described sounds beautiful. Maybe when I go there, I will want to go on adventures like you instead of spending all my time in the training hall."
"I'll take you there." Lin Siyao invited excitedly, "This summer, I'll tell Master, and she will definitely help."
"Okay." Chu Yi didn't act pretentiously and agreed directly.
The two of them ate and talked, and it seemed as if there were still countless things they hadn't said until the end of the banquet.
However, Lin Siyao received news that the school had important matters to discuss with her, so they had to part ways early.
As for Chu Yi, he had no interest in visiting Wolong Academy, so he went back to the hotel and started today's training.
When he came out of the beast taming space, the sun was already setting outside the window.
Chu Yi ordered some rice noodles for his meal, then opened his phone to see how netizens were praising him.
But what he didn't expect was that there was no hot search about him at all, and instead it was Ji Chen. That's right, it was the son of destiny from Wolong Academy, and the Internet was flooded with news about him.
He also completed a stunning performance of defeating seven opponents at once in this afternoon's game, and the whole process was several times easier than my own.
In front of his level 22 Azure Dragon pet, no matter who the opponent was, they could hardly last more than three rounds and would lose cleanly and easily.
Precisely because of his strong performance, Ji Chen was praised to the skies after the game, and his popularity far exceeded Chu Yi's one-on-seven performance yesterday.
Although both of them were defeated 1-on-7, could the opponents they faced be the same?
What did he play yesterday?
That was Tianwen Private School, one of the top eight teams last year. The team had several experts who were in the top 50 of the Sleeping Dragon List.
The Nanjing Primary School that Ji Chen played for only made it into the top 64 last year, and the highest team ranking was 49th on the Wolong list.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you pick any one of his defeated opponents in Tianwen Private School to fight against Nanjing Primary School, he would probably be able to easily defeat five or even six of them.
Chu Yi is not a person who cares much about fame, but he doesn't understand why his performance is obviously better, but the praise and attention he gets in the end are far less than others.
Is it because Ji Chen has more fans than himself, or is it because his family is more powerful?
Chu Yi was filled with doubts and began to search the Internet.
Soon he came across many advertisements shot by Ji Chen, all of which were well-known domestic brands and conscientious enterprises with decades of history.
He turned to a short video clip of Ji Chen, in which he was standing on a green dragon, overlooking all living beings. Thousands of people in the comment section shouted that Chenchen was so handsome.
Finally, he turned to Ji Chen’s live broadcast.
Having just finished the game, he attended the Wolong Academy Heroes Gathering and was invited to give a speech on stage.
The dazzling lights gathered on his slender shoulders. At this moment, Ji Chen was dressed in a suit and tie, and at a young age he had the style of a successful man.
His voice was still a little childish, his speech was a little halting, his speech contained no citations from classics and had no literary grace at all.
But he used the simplest words to tell of his efforts and hardships along the way, and told everyone that as long as they work hard, they can realize their dreams.
Finally, he expressed his sincere gratitude to the school, the teachers, and all the people who had helped him, and he was most grateful to the land he loved so much.
He loves everyone who loves him, and vows to do his best to win three consecutive championships for Wolong Academy.
After the speech, several advertising links popped up on the live screen, which were the brands endorsed by Ji Chen.
Suddenly Chu Yi seemed to understand something.
Ten words were typed in the barrage:
"I can talk, and I can love."
However, these ten words were like an inconspicuous wave in the surging tide, and were soon drowned in countless comments of praise and confession.
A few seconds later, Chu Yi received a message: "The comment [I can also *******] just posted by the user has been deleted due to violation of the platform's regulations. Please be careful with your words and actions!"
"Hahaha, fun." Chu Yi laughed.
Originally he just wanted to win this trophy for his parents and school.
At this moment, he suddenly found the meaning of why he had to win.
