And now, Solo has retired

Ai Qing was glancing at the menu while discussing tomorrow's activity arrangements with Solo. The two of them did not arrive on the same flight and were part of the male and female teams respectively. Their communication over the past two days had been limited, but now that they had some free time, they naturally talked more.

When the meat was finally cooked through, Dt spat out the chewing gum, wrapped it in a napkin, and tossed it onto the plate where the bones were discarded. Then, using chopsticks, he pushed the grilled pickles around, just enough to place them in front of her

Just then, the boss brought out the dishes, a whole row of various vegetable leaves, along with a baking tray filled with the items they had requested, placed on the charcoal stove

Ai Qing felt a sense of guilt and pulled at his arm: "You are the youngest, why should you pay for anything? Let Solo take care of it; he is now one of the bosses of SP, and it would be a waste not to take advantage of it."

Dt remained silent and glanced at her. Just that one glance made Ai Qing inexplicably feel as if she had said something wrong.

Solo did not mind at all, and took out his wallet, handing over 100,000 Korean won

The atmosphere is somewhat quiet, but fortunately, it is not awkward

Three people went to a barbecue restaurant in Myeongdong

Solo quickly called the boss, communicating with the other party in Korean, and also ordered some drinks

Although Solo and Dt have been friends for many years, this does not change the fact that Dt is not good with words. Throughout the late-night meal, at first Ai Qing chatted with Solo, but later it turned into the three of them eating separately.

Well

The conversation is progressing very poorly

Enough. Dt casually closed the menu

When Solo arrived, the two of them did not say much to each other

Ai Qing's attention was drawn to the pickles on the baking tray, and she asked Solo, who often comes to Korea for competitions, "Is this also grilled to eat?"

Ai Qing remembers that the last time the two of them met in a real competition was during a domestic qualifier for Warcraft in 2010. That year, Solo advanced from the Beijing division without any doubt, securing the championship title, while Dt qualified from the Guangzhou division. In that year, the two faced each other in the finals of the China region, where Solo defeated Dt.

Dt remains the same, forever the king of awkward silences

Several individuals removed their shoes and sat cross-legged beside a low wooden table

Have you been in contact all along? By phone? Email? Or do you also watch the matches?

Ai Qing walked behind the two individuals, feeling inexplicably emotional. She looked up and exhaled a puff of white mist into the night sky

... ...

The entire store was empty, with only the owner idly watching television. Upon seeing them, he immediately approached them warmly and pointed to a long wooden table.

Solo nodded slightly and told her, "It tastes good, you can give it a try."

Time truly urges one to grow old

I ordered two portions of beef short ribs, three portions of pork belly, and tofu soup, is that enough? Ai Qing pushed the open menu in front of him, indicating that he could order more if he felt it was insufficient

"How did you get in touch?" Ai Qing propped her chin on her hand, shifting her gaze to Dt, who was sitting diagonally opposite her.

By the time I remembered that ever-silent Dt, the order had already been placed.

When it was time to settle the bill, Dt, who had always remained silent, unexpectedly took out money from his pants pocket

She smiled, her pair of eyes fixed on her own grilled pickles

He does not have a wallet; he simply has a stack of money, neatly arranged according to denomination.

We have always kept in touch
