BJ time 13:01, Seattle time 22:01.

The questioning remarks after the fake game, the private messages and abuses of social platforms, and even the official behind-the-scenes investigation by the V Club failed to make the man frown.

Nowadays, an empty bed in the hospital ward seemed to give him a heavy punch in the void.

"When did it happen?" Xiao Se asked.

"Yesterday, at 7:35 pm." Bai Ruohai replied.

"Have he notified his parents?"

“Not contacted yet.”

"Does he know?"

"Know."

“…you should contact me.”

"Siao Se," Bai Ruohai said, "Don't blame her, this is what we all think."

Xiao Se nodded slightly.

When he walked out the door, Bai Yu leaned on the edge of the door, his hands hanging behind his back, like a child doing something wrong.

"Why don't you notify me?" Xiao Se's tone was full of fatigue, partly due to exhaustion after the game, partly due to fatigue.

"I'm sorry." Bai Yu lowered his head.

"I don't mean to blame you." Xiao Se rubbed his hair that had been curled into a chicken coop.

Bai Yu was silent. There were only the nurses back and forth in the corridor. The tranquility in the ward always seemed colder than before.

"Gu Nan also wants you to hide it from me, right?"

Bai Yu nodded gently.

Xiao Se felt that he was old to the age of thirty years, and his body was tired and his heart even more tired. "What should I do to make you understand that this champion shield is not that important to me, at least, it should let me see him for the last time."

He understands what everyone has done so far.

Even if Xiao Se knows Gu Nan's situation and meets him for the last time, he cannot change any facts. Instead, it will affect the performance of the subsequent games and let down other teammates.

If the operation is successful, everyone will be happy. If it is not successful, it will at least not affect the people today. Bai Yu thought so, and so did Gu Nan. Therefore, concealing is a more rational approach.

But it is this "rationality" that makes Xiao Se irritable.

"Take Gu Nan back to China, I'll take the charter flight." Xiao Se said, "This is the only thing I can do."

"This is what he asked me to hand it over to you before entering the operating room." Bai Yu took out a cell phone from his pocket.

Xiao Se took it, turned it on, there was no password. It was Gu Nan's phone, right. A feeling of sadness suddenly surged up.

Bai Yu realized that the person in front of him needed to be alone, so he left silently.

Xiao Se found a seat and sat down, put on his headphones.

Click to play.

"Hey, uh... Xiaose, when you see this video, I should... Bah, bah, bad luck, why do you start cursing yourself like acting in a TV series?"

In the video, Gu Nan beat him twice, as if he was going to kill bad luck.

"It always feels weird to call your real name. Speaking of which, I am your brother, right? It should be counted! After all, you even have the confidence to leave your sister to me for care, but we don't seem to be as good as brothers. Tsk, what a pity, Xiaose? Arthur? Sesse? Hey, forget it, I feel even more awkward. 'No. 1 brother', too many people call me, so I won't get involved. Think about it - hey, the nurse is here, wait..."

The camera shaking, Gu Nan quickly put away the phone and hid it behind the pillow. The camera only had a slit, facing the nurse's waist, Gu Nan's elbows, and various bottles and jars on the side.

He stretched out his hand, and the needles above the forearm were densely packed, like honeycombs, with red lumps running one after another. Obviously, this was not the first time Gu Nan had a random examination.

One tube, another tube, fresh blood was pulled out of this slender arm, and then the nurse asked Gu Nan to lie on his side again...

The whole process lasted for about thirty minutes, and Gu Nan did not make any noise throughout the whole process, only a few muffled sounds.

Xiao Se silently watched the daily life in the video without saying a word.

"Huh--it's finally done, let's get back to the point."

The camera was re-placed, and Gu Nan's face turned whiter.

"Just just now, the doctor said I was going to have surgery on it, probably on the weekend. The American doctor is quite honest and does not stumble. He said that the probability of success is not high, and there is a probability of failure of thirty or forty. It feels okay, and there is a 40% chance that he will not be sentenced to death by the teacher. If the start of six o'clock, when my surgery is over, your game should be almost over."

Gu Nan suddenly took a breath of air conditioning, as if he was rubbing his wound while filming the video on the bed.

"To be honest, don't hit me. Actually, I'm very happy if you lose, haha. After all, if I can know the result of the game, it means that at least I can live with you until the next Ti. But if you are watching this video now, then... I probably won't have the blessing to wait until you raise your shield."

Gu Nan rummaged through the bed and pulled out one from a small stack.

"This one was given to me by the doctor yesterday, saying what kind of organ donation agreement was. I didn't expect that I would be like this and I still have the ability to benefit others. God is really open to my eyes."

"But I don't want to sign it." He put it back.

"I always feel like I'll surrender after signing. I don't want to lose someone in the end and not even have a whole body. Do you think this mentality is selfish?"

Xiao Se held the edge of the phone with both hands and shook his head repeatedly.

"The medical expenses in the United States are too expensive, and there is no medical insurance available. The charging orders for several days are enough for me to work hard for ten or half a month without eating or drinking. I know that Bai Yu has been helping me with the cushion, and I also know that as soon as I open my mouth, you will definitely help me. But I really don't want to tie me and my best friend to the money, so I decided to try it for the last time. If I pass by luck, I will make a cow and a horse for you after recovery!"

I don’t know how long I was silent, but Gu Nan stared at the screen with complicated eyes. Finally, he said in a trembling tone:

"I don't want to die."

The first video ends.

Immediately afterwards, the second video was recorded.

At that time, Gu Nan had already put on a surgical hat, and his nose and mouth were invaded by various tubes, and his voice was buzzing.

"The first game was so fucking beautiful! Xiaose!" He was very excited, "I did it all over again and I did a 3:0 OG? I was still uneasy today, without any at all. After watching the SPS game, I knew that today is stable and I won't have a chat. Remember to carry the shield back to let me enjoy my hand after the operation."

He reached out and was about to finish the video. Gu Nan seemed to suddenly think of something and retreated his hand back.

"By the way, I just gave you so many accessories, but it's not a entrusted person. If you like, stay here and put them on during the competition. If you want to get the rest, I will pay back the others when I'm discharged from the hospital."

With Gu Nan stretching out his hand again, the video ended.

Xiao Se continued to flip through the folder, only these two videos.
Chapter completed!
