GTRSH Chapter 15

As soon as the two videos came out, HIT almost occupied most of the hot searches.

Aurora, HIT’s fifth anniversary, He Ci, skiing, these few phrases when arranged and combined could become a hot search term.

The happiest people in this wave may be He Ci’s fans. Although He Ci’s face was not shown many times in the two videos, every frame was the essence, and you could be infected by He Ci’s charm through the screen.

【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh】

【@HeCi.FIX, how many surprises do you have that I don’t know about】

【I now feel that he is really the crown prince. This kind of thing obviously cannot be achieved in a day or two.】

【Awesome】

【So no one has praised this cool skiing? Then I will! It’s so cool, I’ve watched it more than ten times】

【Ten times is nothing, I have taken a screenshot and used it as a screensaver.】

【This level should be achieved after a long period of practice】

【I listened to the PV again, and headphone users were blessed】

【I love this American pronunciation too much. Before this, I always thought that American pronunciation was trashy, but today I changed my mind】

【I am an English major. His spoken English is authentic but not exaggerated. It is exactly the pronunciation in my dreams.】

【Elegant British English for the win, but today I admit that the American accent is not bad either! He Ci sounds good in English, with a relaxed and casual tone, which fits the character of Aurora】

When Yu Xinche watched it, he also noticed the tone of Aurora, which was a very comfortable sound.

Like his fans, he clicked on the video and listened to it again.

Now he already knew that the voiceover behind the scenes was He Ci, and he had different feelings when he watched it again this time.

Subconsciously, he would imagine how He Ci said these words.

Then he found that the comment section was really accurate.

The British pronunciation was more reserved, and therefore more elegant and restrained.

The American pronunciation was less restrained in lip shape, and the pronunciation was more casual and relaxed, which gives people a more exaggerated and unrestrained feeling.

However, perhaps because He Ci himself had a somewhat arrogant personality, his American accent was standard but lacked enthusiasm, and instead sounds more in line with Chinese aesthetics.

However, the top comment under this aurora video was not about pronunciation:

“The official selection of guests this time is very good. He Ci and Aurora are really similar in some aspects. They are born into a state that others cannot reach. One is a god and the other is a rich second-generation. However, they don’t want to just go with the flow and muddle through by relying on their background. They keep asking why, why.”

Yu Xinche had never watched any e-sports competitions and didn’t know much about He Ci’s past.

But the comment was so sincere, and coupled with the fact that he had been a little confused recently, he was almost instantly touched by these few words.

His brain wasn’t very clear due to the cold, so he acted on impulse and added He Ci’s personal contact number.

He Ci approved it immediately and asked him what was the matter.

Yu Xinche was usually very sensible. While typing, he vaguely felt that what he wanted to ask might be overstepping his boundaries a little , and wondered if He Ci would be angry.

Normally at times like this he would choose to keep quiet, suppressing his curiosity and not asking more questions.

But maybe because he was still groggy from just waking up, or maybe his cold had damaged his brain, when he realized it was inappropriate, his subconscious reaction was not to hold back and not ask.

Instead, he added a polite, non-annoying title in front and then asked.

– Brother, why do you play professionally?

He stared at this sentence for two seconds before he realized it and wanted to retract it.

Unfortunately, it was too late, He Ci was already “typing” in the chat.

Now that he had seen it, there was no need to withdraw the message.

Yu Xinche only added a silly emoticon, trying to disrupt his own style and make He Ci ignore the word “brother”.

The other end spent a long time typing, but in the end, only a few words were sent back:

– Because my family is rich.

Yu Xinche: “…”

That’s amazing.

He Ci also knew how much hatred this sentence would cause, and quickly added:

– Just kidding.

– My family was strict and I didn’t have much free time since I was young. When I grew up, I had to study business, which was quite boring.

– I don’t want to follow my family’s orders forever. I just happened to be in my rebellious period and I wanted to try this path.

Yu Xinche was a science student and usually paid more attention to details.

After seeing these sentences, he immediately discovered a blind spot. He wanted to ask, since you were controlled so strictly when you were a child, why would they agree to let you play professionally.

But it was just a thought. Now his reason had returned and he would not ask another tactless question.

Combined with the fans’ comments, Yu Xinche already roughly understood what the situation was.

In fact, he could empathize with some of it.

Although his family was not as rich as He Ci’s, his parents were equally strict.

They were eager to see their son succeed, and their desire for control was too strong. Yu Xinche had been required to be “someone else’s child”¹someone else’s child is common expression when parents compare their children to others who has better academic success or personal achievements. since he was young. He had to study hard in school and attend various interest classes during his rest time, such as piano, Olympiad mathematics, and spoken English.

This airtight life was somewhat relieved after his parents’ divorce, and Yu Xinche finally had some breathing space after living in a dormitory at the middle school.

Just when he thought he would gradually become more free as he grew up, his parents intervened in his life again.

He was forced to choose a major he didn’t like, and when he graduates, he will probably be forced by them to do a decent job he doesn’t like.

Just like He Ci said, maybe this path was good and decent, but He Ci doesn’t want to take it.

Yu Xinche didn’t want to either.

When he was sixteen or seventeen years old, he was busy doing homework and had no time to rebel, so he can just regard this as a belated rebellious period.

He sent a message to He Ci.

– I’ve thought about what you said. I also want to try this path.

– By the way, the anniversary video is really cool
