The next morning, Gu Xing was woken up by a burst of cell phone ringing.

Jack was still sleeping soundly in the next bed, muttering unconsciously.

Gu Xing quickly opened his sleepy eyes, pushed himself up and got out of bed. When he saw that the caller ID was from his girlfriend, he suddenly felt excited all over.

Unscrewing the door and heading to the balcony, the Los Angeles sunshine was clear and cloudless, and the light was very dazzling, shining directly into my eyes.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xing answered the phone nervously.

This was not the time Shen Guanshan was accustomed to contacting him, and Gu Xing was afraid that something urgent would happen over there.

A clear and cheerful female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Happy 19th birthday!"

Gu Xing just woke up, his head was still a mess.

I didn't react immediately when I was attacked by my girlfriend.

"Um?"

"It's your birthday today!" Shen Guanshan seemed to be outside, and he could hear the howling wind in the background, "I won't forget it, will I?"

By the end, she was a little doubtful.

Gu Xing thought for a while.

It seems to be true.

Yesterday's final was October 30th in Los Angeles. Today is an extra day, plus time zone conversion...

On the other side of the ocean, it should be November 1st, his birthday.

"It's early morning over there?" Gu Xing turned the corner.

"Yes," Shen Guanshan said in a lively tone, "I specially wanted to be the first one to send you birthday wishes!"

Gu Xing switched to a video call, and the other party quickly picked up the call.

My girlfriend was also standing on the balcony wearing a plain white sweatshirt.

In the pitch-black night, her eyes were bright and lively, and her whole person appeared so vividly in front of Gu Xing.

"Your roommate hasn't gone to bed yet?" Gu Xing saw that the lights were still on in the dormitory.

"No, they have to study very late..." Shen Guanshan's voice was involuntarily rising when he spoke, "I went out to buy a small cake before!"

She moved the camera to show her boyfriend like a treasure.

There is a pink starfish and a rectangular yellow sponge creature standing on the palm-sized cake embryo.

Gu Xing burst out laughing.

"It's quite cute, isn't it?" Shen Guanshan was filled with a bright smile, as if it could drive away the dark night, "I found several cake shops before I bought it!"

She rubbed her frozen fingers and held the cake in front of Gu Xing's eyes, "I know it's relatively simple, but the conditions are really limited. We can make birthdays more elaborate in the future..."

Gu Xing interrupted his girlfriend, "That's good."

For the past ten years, he and Gu Pan had celebrated birthdays together, and when they were children they would even get into fights over who had an extra piece of cake.

Now that his partner can accompany him on his birthday, Gu Xing feels satisfied and doesn't care if it's simple or not.

"Thank you." He said sincerely.

"...Don't say that," Shen Guanshan was embarrassed, "I didn't do anything special."

She couldn't light candles in the dormitory, so she could only play the song "Happy Birthday" and sing along softly beside her, a little nervously.

However, he was somewhat tone-deaf and sometimes rushed to take pictures, which added a bit of comedy to the originally heartwarming scene.

Seeing Gu Xing looking at him without blinking, Shen Guanshan's cheeks turned slightly red and his clear voice became lower and lower. Only when the accompaniment ended did he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Hurry up and make a wish!" She forced the Patrick Star and SpongeBob SquarePants on the cake to face her boyfriend.

Gu Xing didn't believe this, but he still cooperated obediently at this moment.

I closed my eyes, countless thoughts were rolling through my mind, and my Adam's apple rolled slightly.

Then he opened his eyes and found Shen Guanshan staring at his neck intently.

"What's wrong?" he asked curiously.

"...It's nothing." Shen Guanshan looked away and muttered in a low voice, his cheeks getting redder and redder, and he secretly cursed himself for being a pervert.

I just saw my boyfriend's Adam's apple and wanted to touch it to see how it felt.

Gu Xing didn't care to delve deeper, "Is it cold if you stay on the balcony? Go back to bed quickly."

In the early morning of November in the capital, the temperature has dropped to single digits, and there is a cold air everywhere, which can be called a cold night.

As we all know, cold nights are not good.

Gu Xing was afraid that his girlfriend would be affected by the cold and would be affected by the cold.

Shen Guanshan stamped his numb legs and feet, "Then my roommate and I will share the cake and eat it..."

When her boyfriend nodded, she added, "I also have a birthday present. I will give it to you when I return to China!"

"If you have some spare time, you can guess what it is," Shen Guanshan reminded, "please explain in advance that it is a small object."

Gu Xing was confused.

Until he hung up the video call, he didn't come up with a more reliable answer.

After leaving the balcony and returning to bed, Gu Xing belatedly sent a birthday message to his sister.

I originally wanted to take a nap.

As a result, as soon as I closed my eyes, I received a reply from Gu Pan.

Then, Ding Ran and some of his school friends also sent congratulatory messages.

Gu Xing really couldn't sleep now, so he replied one by one. By the time he cleared all the unread messages on WeChat, his sleepiness had already disappeared.

He saw that Yu Wenbo, whose whole body was hidden under the quilt except for his big, eye-catching head, had no intention of waking up, so he could only go to the Tieba to see what new things the Lezi people had done.

One day passed, and the carnival was still going on in the Kang Bar.

The explosive heat of VG winning the championship has not yet receded.

Posts often have hundreds of replies, and a bunch of new posts can appear in just a few seconds!

Gu Xing couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He has been shopping around for half a year and has never seen such a grand event!

[Reasonable discussion, is Xiao Gu now firmly ranked as the number one jungler in LPL history?]

[Nonsense, the first championship + FMVP status is here, it’s not Xiao Gu, could it be Ming Kai? 】

[One repays Little Peanut, and the other beats Little Peanut, that is the difference between Xiao Gu and the factory director]

[Half a year after his debut, he won the Summer Championship + World Championship, so Gu Kaitian chose the script, right?]

[To tell you a joke, FMVP ranked fifteenth in the TOP20 selection before the game]

[Sweeping three LCK teams in a row, with a total score of 9 wins and 2 losses, the gold content is definitely the best! 】

Gu Xing browsed through them one by one, and the smile never stopped on his face.

He has not yet fully adapted to the change in mentality of winning the championship.

Even when I woke up early, my first reaction was to go to the training room to continue practicing and prepare for the next game.

After two months of regular life, Gu Xing has developed a habit, and it feels uncomfortable not to play games!

After scanning the hot posts on the forum and constantly impressing himself, he was sure that he really won the Summoner's Trophy yesterday.

During this period, I also saw reposted posts about post-game group interviews.

Netizens were caught off guard by the news that Lee Ji-hoon would retire at the end of the year.

They expressed their confusion and confusion in words under the post.

Gu Xing saw a comment in it - Easyhoon's two consecutive championships have ended. Even if he does not stay in VG, other clubs will spend a lot of money to invite him to join. It's obvious that he has money, so why should he retire in a hurry?

This also represents the inner thoughts of most netizens.

But Gu Xing can figure out the reason.

After Easyhoon destroyed the SKT dynasty, his career was complete.

If I really want to continue playing professionally, I guess I won’t be able to train so hard.

Coupled with the fact that he is one year older, it is inevitable that his condition will decline.

Staying in VG will inevitably be considered by some netizens as just resting on your laurels, and it will be difficult to perform in another team to be worthy of the huge salary offered.

No matter which choice is made, it will have a negative impact on Easyhoon's public opinion and reputation.

Li Zhixun has a character that makes him happy when he is a little rich. His family situation is not bad. His own view of money is that it is enough. He lives quite frugally and does not like Goo Shengbin who buys luxury goods like crazy.

He made millions in one year after coming to LPL.
