The Old Age Love Chapter 2

Cheng Yilin brought a plate of freshly washed grapes and placed it on the small table next to the bed.

"At that time, my mother even asked someone to calculate it, and it was determined that you and the sister from the Fang family were a perfect match made in heaven."

When Caleb first heard that he had a childhood sweetheart, he thought it was absurd and ridiculous - how many years had passed since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and they were still doing arranged marriages? No matter what she looked like, even if she was a fairy, he wouldn't want her! Otherwise, he would be a turtle crawling on the ground.

"I do not want."

Caleb threw off the quilt and lay down on the bed. He had just finished rehabilitation and was sweating all over. He closed his eyes a little tiredly. He had a serious injury and had undergone surgery. Although he had prepared and selected a substitute, the substitute's ability, fame, and experience were completely different from his. In just one month, he didn't know how many endorsements and sponsorships he had lost. The team kept it secret from him. He knew clearly in his heart that this was the most difficult time for the entire team.

Cheng Yilin tucked the quilt in for him. The two were twins, a boy and a girl. Cheng Yilin, who was born five minutes earlier, was one of the few people who could barely control Caleb by virtue of her bloodline suppression.

In line with the principle of "a friend dies rather than a poor person", Cheng Yilin quite agrees with her brother's marriage. Girls are precocious and careful, and she has a clear impression of the little sister of the Fang family who often comes to play at home.

A chubby face, round eyes, a pink little mouth, a sweet and soft voice, and a calm temper.

My personality complements that of my younger brother.

"My mother liked her very much. When we were little, she praised the little girl as being cute every day. Don't you remember?"

"Whoever likes it can get married!"

Caleb turned over and said, "Give me back my phone."

Cheng Yilin rolled her eyes at him, "What are you doing? Your hand is injured like this, and you're still worrying about the team? You better be quiet and take good care of your injury, or I'll tell mom."

the other side.

Emily herself is not opposed to child marriage.

Fang Yijun, the mother, was born into a scholarly family. After college, she went to study in Country G and met an unknown Chinese painter. The two fell in love at first sight, but when Fang Yijun was six months pregnant, the man suddenly disappeared without a trace.

That man is Emily’s biological father.

Growing up in a single-parent family where the child got pregnant before marriage, Emily doesn't believe in love that is as illusory as a castle in the air.

But she is not completely against marriage.

Olivia proposed that she be her daughter-in-law. Emily was surprised but remained calm and did not express her opinion directly. As soon as Olivia left, she immediately learned about Caleb through Tieba, Weibo and forums.

The domineering and cool mechas are the romance of men. As a 4V4 mecha game, "Sky" has 600 million players worldwide.

Caleb reached the peak as soon as he debuted.

His sudden appearance has forced countless teams at home and abroad to struggle for the second place.

Becoming famous at a young age, having a long peak period and outstanding looks have earned Caleb countless shining titles - "Star of the League", "Esports Male God", and "Light of the Sky".

Caleb has won numerous honors in his eight years of service, leading NSD to the World Championship six times, winning the Finals Championship trophy four times, and winning the Most Valuable Player award three times. In addition, he has also won the Intercontinental Championship and Invitational Championships many times.

After reading for a few hours, Emily was impressed by three posts.

One post is "The Unmoving Challenge - Competition Circle Edition".

The link opens to a short video with hundreds of millions of hits, involving all the famous players of major online games at home and abroad. In just three and a half minutes, dozens of top handsome guys were crammed in, and European and American players accounted for most of the three-dimensional and deep small faces and super camera sense.

Among the few Asian faces, Caleb is particularly eye-catching.

Under the flaxen brown short hair which is slightly lighter than pure black, his skin is cold and white, and his eyelashes are thick and long. Caleb is wearing a short-sleeved team uniform, sitting lazily with a playful smile, and his pair of dark eyes are particularly bright, as if they can see into people's hearts.

Another post is "Ranking of the Worst Male Gods in the Gaming Circle". The list was voted by players one by one, and Caleb topped the list.

At first glance, the title may seem off-topic, but it is actually a reflection of the fans' love and hate for him. E-sports is a job that is given by God. If you don't have talent, it is difficult to succeed no matter how hard you work. Moreover, it is a job that is short-lived and only lasts for a short time.

Ken's fans all know that he is an AI that is trained to the death. At the beginning of each regular season, other players can find time to complete the basic monthly live broadcast time, but Ken's live broadcast room is overgrown with grass. Fans clamor to climb over the wall, but he never shows up to appease them.

The club and the live broadcast platform have no way to deal with him.

God Ken is not short of money, no matter how high the guaranteed fee or reward share is, it is not something he would be interested in.

The worst thing is that after winning game after game, this man would say to his fans, "Only if I stand high enough, you will be more confident," and instantly coax his fans into screaming and forgiving him.

Ken has been famous for many years, he has no ambiguity and no scandals, he trains for fifteen hours a day and trains three hundred and sixty days a year, his appearance and figure are the ceiling in the entertainment circle, it is impossible to stop being a fan of such a person.

He is so charming, flirtatious and irresponsible. He can make people happy with just one sentence. If he is not a sgumbag, then what is he?
 
The third post is "What is it like to date e-sports sgumbag Ken?"

The first few dozen levels in the comment section are:

[It must be awesome. Is it possible for an ordinary person to sleep with Ken? ]

[God Ken has both good looks and a good figure, and he also has enough money to eat and drink for the rest of his life. It is definitely a godly experience]

[Ken is so handsome, his children will definitely have good IQ and looks in the future]

[Guaranteed profit!!! The ideal male protagonist in daydream literature]

The subsequent comments were much calmer and more rational.

[How strong must your heart be to want to date Ken? Think about his training schedule, sisters. Fifteen hours a day, either training or competition, weekends and statutory holidays are nothing in Ken's eyes, and the base does not allow outsiders to stay overnight. Even if you are in Haicheng, how many times can you see each other in a month? Can he help you score higher or talk to you via voice or video? It's worse than online dating, wake up! ]

【I have been a fan of Ken for so many years. I have seen him trash-talk his opponents, fight with his fans, criticize his teammates, and meet a female celebrity in the game. After she revealed her identity, he sold out his teammates and snatched her head without mercy. Ken, who is so high and mighty, can fall in love and coax people? It's so funny. Even if there are no mountains, no earth, and no sows can climb trees, Ken will never descend to earth for a partner! 】

[Esports, no romance! If you want to date Ken, be prepared for a widow-like relationship]

Emily extracted important information.

[The person you are planning to meet is very busy. ]

I was so busy that even with the thick fan filter, I felt that being with this man was destined to be alone.

In other words, the other party is very busy and has no time to pay attention to her, great!

[The matchmaker is a pretty good person. ]

No one is perfect, but being promiscuous, telling lies, being irresponsible, and not respecting the elderly and not caring for the young are absolutely unacceptable in Emily.

[The arranged partner is good-looking and has plenty of money. ]

Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, being pretty and handsome is definitely an advantage. At least it is a plus point for Emily.

And money, a lot of money.

This is a matchmaker that is hard to find even with a searchlight, right? !

I'm just not in good health and have an occupational injury.

Forget it, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

In the ward.

After a routine checkup, the doctor told Caleb: "The operation was more successful than expected, and the recovery is also good. You must rehabilitate on time, and don't be afraid of pain and be lazy."

Cheng Yilin was also there, feeling relieved, "Thank you, Uncle Wang, we will definitely cooperate. Ah Kan even wanted to be discharged from the hospital this morning, but I scolded him."

"Now that you're living here, you should focus on recuperating and getting well before you think about other things."

Caleb asked: "Uncle Wang, how much of my hand can be restored to its original state?"

This is the question he asked to countless famous experts in the industry when he was seeking medical treatment for a serious hand injury.

I have asked questions both at home and abroad.

No one can guarantee it.

Even conservative doctors dare not make any promises about whether the operation will be successful.

Doctor Wang looked at the deep desire on his young face, patted his shoulder and said, "There is hope for everything, provided that you do rehabilitation seriously, follow the doctor's advice after discharge, and have follow-up checkups on time."

After sending the doctor away, Cheng Yilin sat down on a chair and peeled an apple. "My parents said that if you want to continue to run the team, you must marry Fang's sister. Otherwise, don't be named Cheng."

Caleb's eyelashes trembled.

Back then, he gave up the offer from a top university and became an e-sports player. Old Cheng was so angry that he kicked him out. Two or three years later, he became famous and his parents calmed down a little. Now that his hand is injured like this at such a young age, his parents must be angry and distressed.

He will never be a good son in his parents' eyes. When others brag about their sons graduating from xx university and winning xx billion projects, parents can only say awkwardly that my son is just a gamer.

In most people's eyes, "e-sports athletes" are unstable, non-mainstream, and a group of lazy otakus who don't like to study or work and play games every day for excuses. Eight years ago, Lao Cheng and Ms. Jian's attitude of neither supporting nor opposing was considered enlightened and democratic. Lao Ba from the team cut off contact with his parents for nearly four years, until his annual contract fee reached eight figures, and then they reluctantly eased their relationship, allowing his family to think that this was a legitimate job that could support the family.

After so many years, he is no longer the young man who doesn't care about what others say and just wants to do it. He also understands why his parents said that it is easy to take up this kind of job but hard to give it up.

Cheng Yilin continued to persuade him, "Dad is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. When you first entered the professional league a few years ago, I once saw him secretly asking his secretary to teach him how to watch your live games. Not to mention Mom, as long as it's your own choice, she supports it. But look at you, you're so young and strong and your hand is injured like this, they must be very distressed, you have to understand."

"I agree."

"You are not a child anymore, don't always let your parents worry about you..." Cheng Yilin paused, "What, what did you say?"

Caleb pulled the quilt open and covered his head with it. A muffled voice came out from under the quilt, "I said I agree. If they ask me to marry them, I will marry them. Is that ok? Okay, I want to go to sleep!"
