Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

That summer in the LPL belonged to the golden Royal Club, and even more so to the man with the ID "Feng".

A 3-0 sweep of IG was just the beginning. Lin Feng and RNG dominated the entire LPL with an unparalleled force. Summer Split champions and the number one seed for the World Championship followed one after another.

On the stage of the global finals, they fought their way through the competition, facing strong opponents from all over the world. Lin Feng used his unfathomable pool of heroes and unpredictable tactical understanding to lead the team to victory time and time again.

As golden rain fell in the Paris finals venue, and Uzi and his teammates excitedly rushed towards Lin Feng, lifting him high in the air, he saw Rita in the commentary booth below, her eyes also glistening with tears, yet her smile radiant. Across the surging crowd, their eyes met, and everything was understood without words.

World Champion, FMVP.

Lin Feng's name is engraved in the highest hall of honor of League of Legends. He became the most legendary top laner in LPL history, with commercial endorsements and live streaming contracts pouring in, his value soaring, making him the undisputed top star in the e-sports circle.

However, at the peak of his honor and glory, Lin Feng made a decision that surprised everyone - he chose to retire the year after winning the championship.

"I've won every honor a professional player can achieve," he said calmly at his retirement press conference. "But for me, the most important trophy is one I want to protect for the rest of my life."

His gaze gently fell upon Rita in the first row of the audience.

The crowd erupted in cheers, and the flashbulbs went off as bright as day.

……

For the proposal, Raymond Lam chose the coffee shop where they first met. There was no flower arch, no thousands of witnesses. He simply invited her for afternoon tea as usual, and then, as the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the table, he took out a velvet box.

The box didn't contain a diamond ring the size of a pigeon's egg, but rather an exquisitely designed ring. On the band, a miniature Nal was engraved, leaping high as if about to plunge into a "Moment of Judgment" made of crushed diamonds.

“I’ve traversed the most arduous paths and faced the strongest opponents,” Lin Feng said, holding Rita’s hand. His voice was as steady as ever, yet trembled slightly. “But what touches my heart the most is hearing your voice in my headphones after every team fight victory. Mrs. Feng, will you be my one and only carry for the rest of my life?”

Rita's tears, like pearls from a broken string, slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the back of his hand, warm and resolute. She nodded firmly: "I do."

Their wedding wasn't a grand affair, but they invited all their old and new friends from the esports world. Uzi, Xiaohu, Miller, Guan Zeyuan... those familiar faces gathered together to witness the "God of War" and "Goddess" of the arena step into a new chapter of their lives. TheShy was also there. He walked up to Lin Feng with a wine glass in hand and said in somewhat broken Chinese, "You are the strongest opponent. I wish you happiness."

The two exchanged a smile, drank it all in one gulp, and all the past grudges on the field were transformed into blessings at this moment.

After their marriage, Raymond Lam fulfilled his promise. He turned down most of his commercial activities and embarked on a round-the-world honeymoon with Rita. They went to Interlaken, Switzerland, embracing amidst the snow-capped Jungfrau, experiencing the magnificence and tranquility of the Alps. Raymond Lam pointed to a sliver of golden sunlight atop a distant snow-capped peak and said to Rita, "Look, doesn't it look like the golden rain of the S-series?" Rita smiled, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered, "It's even more beautiful than that, because you're here."

They then traveled to the Amalfi Coast of Italy, rented a convertible, and sped along the winding coastline. The sea breeze ruffled Rita's long hair, and the air was filled with the aroma of lemon and sea salt. They stopped in an unnamed town and shared the freshest seafood and homemade wine with local elderly fishermen at a roadside restaurant. The old man didn't understand English, but he could read the deep affection in their eyes, repeatedly saying "Bellissimo" (beautiful) in heavily accented Italian.

They saw many beautiful sights and met many people. Under the blue-domed churches of Santorini, Greece, they saw an elderly couple supporting each other as they watched the sunset for an entire afternoon; in the bamboo forest of Arashiyama, Kyoto, they met a girl in a kimono sketching, the light and shadow on her paper as gentle as the world they saw.

These tranquil scenes, far removed from the hustle and bustle, allowed Raymond Lam to find complete peace. He was no longer the RNG.Feng who needed to strategize and win battles in the Rift; he was simply Rita's husband, an ordinary man enjoying life and savoring love.

After their honeymoon, they moved into their new home.

It was a detached villa overlooking the Huangpu River in the suburbs of Shanghai, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows facing the beautiful scenery of the Huangpu River. This was not a cold "mansion," but their carefully crafted home.

The first floor features the top-of-the-line e-sports room that Lin Feng has always dreamed of. Inside, there are not only all the trophies he and his teammates have won, but also an entire wall covered with souvenirs he and Rita have brought back from all over the world. Next to it is Rita's private studio, where she continues her commentary career and occasionally does live streams to share glimpses of her life with her fans.

The bedroom on the second floor connects to a huge terrace, which is filled with Rita's favorite flowers and plants. Every evening, Lin Feng would accompany her to water the flowers, and then they would sit together in wicker chairs, watching the sunset dye the river surface into a shimmering gold.

That day, Lin Feng had just finished a five-player "classic" match with his old teammates. Uzi shouted in the voice chat, "Brother Feng, are you saving your Gnar ultimate for the New Year?" which drew laughter from everyone.

Lin Feng smiled, took off his headphones, and walked out of the gaming room. He saw Rita leaning against the railing of the terrace, gazing at the distant night view. He walked over, gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked softly.

“I was thinking, it’s like we’ve turned the life in the game into reality.” Rita turned her head, her eyes reflecting the city lights, brighter than the stars. “You developed into the most carry player in the whole game, and then led me to win the whole match.”

Lin Feng smiled, tightened his arms around her, and whispered in her ear, "No, this is just the beginning. Our story has no ending. Because every day with you is the best beginning."

The Oriental Pearl Tower in the distance lit up with dazzling lights, and the city's prosperity was reflected on the river. The past battles and clashes in the canyon have all transformed into the tranquility of this moment.

He, Lin Feng, was once the sharpest spear and the strongest shield on the field.

And now, he is the happiest person in the world. (End of Chapter)
