Tan Shitian and Cheng Wei only wanted to invite Qin Mo to a meal because in the previous time when Qin Mo was blackened on Weibo, many great gods of the alliance stood up to support Qin Mo. At that time, they said ‘invite you to a meal in Beijing’. Tan Shitian didn’t just act in public. He really felt distress for Qin Mo’s hand injury, and his words naturally had to be fulfilled.
It was not easy to bother him during Mojue’s games. Now that the dust had settled, he just took the time to reminisce about the past with his old friends.
The place was chosen by Cheng Wei, it was in Seafood Town, by the time Xiao Han and Qin Mo arrived, Tan Shitian and Cheng Wei had already arrived.
Cheng Wei greeted the two to sit down and asked Qin Mo to turn around to pick out seafood.
This Seafood Town was very famous. All seafood was alive. Selected on the spot, Cheng Wei looked at the countless fresh fish and shrimp in the water tank with a look of excitement on his face, turned around and pointed. “Four salt and pepper mantis shrimp first! One lobster, four crabs, and this kind of sea snail, spicy stir-fry will be more delicious! Grilled raw oysters and garlic scallops.” He gave a lot of dishes to the waiter who followed him, and then turned around and asked Qin Mo, “Oh yes, Xiao Mo, what would you like to eat?”
“Whatever, it’s up to you.” Qin Mo replied with a calm expression.
Sitting not far away, Xiao Han looked at the scene with mixed feelings in his heart.
In fact, Cheng Wei and Qin Mo’s age weren’t much different, when they were in the Miracle league, they often fought each other in the arena. At that time, Cheng Wei was lively and belligerent, and Qin Mo was still an arrogant teenager. He lost the ring in a competition with Cheng Wei and was almost scolded by his master Ling Xuefeng…
A few years had passed, and Cheng Wei was still the same, cheerful and lively, carefree all day.
But Qin Mo had changed too much.
Time had worn away the sharp edges and corners of his body, turning the once proud teenager into a calm and cold appearance. He had gone through too many twists and turns to complete the gorgeous transformation. Compared with Cheng Wei of the same age, this transformation made Xiao Han felt extremely distressed.
Looking at Xiao Han’s expression, Tan Shitian smiled, while slowly pouring tea, he said. “People who know Qin Mo will feel sad about his change, but this is not a bad thing. You see, he now has the ability to lead Mojue team to win the championship. He has become much stronger than before, right?”

Xiao Han was silent for a moment and then replied, “but I’d rather he hadn’t experienced the car accident. I’d rather he had always been the arrogant Qin Mo who didn’t have to bear so many things.”

“Do you see through it?” Xiao Han asked.
Since Tan Shitian said so, he was obviously aware of his relationship with Qin Mo.
Xiao Han had no intention of concealing it, saying, “I just feel sorry for him. He went through so many things. I didn’t know about it at that time, and I didn’t accompany him through the most difficult part of the road. When I think of this, I wish I could go back…”
He really felt uncomfortable and powerless to know all of his loved one’s sufferings after many years.
He wished those things had never happened, and he wished he could be with him at that time, but these hopes were just thoughts that could never be realised.
Tan Shitian patted the back of Xiao Han’s hand. “It’s all in the past.”
Xiao Han paused and nodded. “En, it’s good that he returned. Regardless of the proud Qin Mo when they were young, or the calm and powerful Qin Mo now, I like him—— he is him, and in my heart, he will always be my Xiao Mo.”
Tan Shitian smiled and replied. “Sure enough, the way you look at him, I don’t think it’s right for a long time ago.”
Xiao Han was not embarrassed and said frankly, “Really? How did you find out?”
Tan Shitian touched his nose and replied. “People who know you all know that since Qin Mo left the league and you took over as captain of Canglan, you have become colder and colder and are usually not talkative, so fans call you ‘Cold God’ just like your name. But as soon as Qin Mo returned, every time you were with Qin Mo, the ‘Cold God’, instantly became a ‘Warm God’. Every time you brought tea and water to the scene of the game, the gentle look at him made me feel nauseated.”
Xiao Han: “…”
Was it nauseating?
Probably every time he saw Qin Mo, he couldn’t control his gentle emotions, because Qin Mo always evoked the deepest softness in his heart.
Thinking of this, Xiao Han couldn’t help smiling, and replied, “Xiao Mo is special to me. With him, I feel like my heart is filled with warm water. I can’t get cold even if I want to be cold.”
Tan Shitian supported his forehead. “Enough, if you go on, I don’t have to eat any more. I will have enough dog food.”
Just at this time, Cheng Wei came back with Qin Mo and showed Tan Shitian a good menu in his hand. “I ordered a lot, and there are very expensive lobsters, this meal should make you bleed!”
Tan Shitian smiled slightly. “Nevermind, I know you have always been black sheep, I get used to it.” He looked at Qin Mo and asked, “It’s not easy to win the championship this season. What’s the next plan? Continue to play?”
Glancing at Qin Mo, Xiao Han replied. “We want to continue playing until we can’t play any more and retire together.”
Qin Mo nodded. “En.”
“That’s good.” Tan Shitian replied. “You two have such a strong tacit understanding that any difficulty can be solved.”
Cheng Wei chimed in. “Then, you still can play for several years? This game is not particularly demanding for opponents’ speed, it is said that many uncles who are nearly 30 years old also play very well, and you two are not even 25 years old.”
“In my current state, I can play for at least three years.” Qin Mo replied.
Cheng Wei said happily. “That’s really good!” He thought that Qin Mo’s finger injury would affect the state of the game, but looking at his appearance today, it seemed that he had completely walked out of the shadow. As an old friend who had played in the arena countless times, Cheng Wei was really happy for Qin Mo.
Qin Xiaomo, indeed, had changed into god Mo.
Cheng Wei poured out the red wine on his own initiative, raised his glass and said, “Congratulations on winning the championship, and you will play the game smoothly in the future!”
At the end of the meal, Tan Shitian stopped Qin Mo and gave him a small gift. “This is for you.”
It was a flash drive with a lot of capacity, he didn’t know what was in it.
Qin Mo was puzzled, listening to Tan Shitian. “This is the video of all the games you have played in miracles since you debuted.”
All the videos? Qin Mo was stunned and replied. “Have you collected all of them? This is a big project.”
Tan Shitian smiled. “Some of the games from a few years ago can no longer be found on the Internet. Fortunately, I know a friend from the league and asked him to copy it out from the Miracle league database and keep it for you as a souvenir. The video of the Peerless Jianghu game this season has also been put in. The capacity of the flash drive is very large, and you can continue to add it to it if you have a new game in the future.”
Qin Mo’s heart was very moved after taking this small flash drive—— a small gift from captain Tan was indeed a goose feather sent from afar, a trifling present with a weighty thought behind it.
This small flash drive records the past of Qin Mo and the whole process of his gradual transformation from an ignorant teenager to today’s Mojue captain.
From the youthful and immature when he first debuted, to the perfectly calm and collected when he commanded the finals now…
All the games he had experienced in the past few years were placed here, and he could recall memories at any time.
It was precisely because there were so many unforgettable memories, so now he could become so brave and strong.
Tan Shitian understood him.
Although he didn’t have such a close relationship with Tan and Cheng in the Miracle league, they spent a long time together on the National team and played countless times in domestic competitions. Some friendships didn’t need to be stated. In fact, this simple understanding was more intimate than any sentimental words.
Qin Mo took the flash drive and replied seriously. “Thank you, I will treasure it.”
For him, it was the best gift and the greatest encouragement from his former opponent.
