Chapter 81 (3)
That night, Tong Yao saw the kitten, which was sickly at the vet during the day, on Xu Tailun’s stream. The kitten seemed to have recovered a bit and was walking around in front of Xu’s camera– —
Xu’s fans were all commented on how cute the kitten is or how the kitten is looking better.
[It’s better now after getting a shot. I asked a staff member to take the kitten for me to get the shot.]
Tong Yao: “……”
What staff member.
[It’s nothing, it’s not feline distemper.] Xu Tailun continued in fluent Chinese. [It’s just a cold, really. It’s much better after returning from the vet. I wanted to take it there but I had a training match in the afternoon……The training match? We won. Against which team? Not saying.]
He laughed as he spoke.
His protruding canine teeth showed as he smiled, he seemed in a very good mood.
His fans showered him in praise, “You’re cuter than the cat”, “Your Chinese 66666”……Tong Yao rolled her eyes and as she was being disgusted with his behavior, a big hand reached over from behind to turn off Xu Tailun’s stream– —
“What’s wrong with you, watching him while being disgusted with him?”
Her captain’s tepid voice came from behind.
Tong Yao patted the hand that had covered her mouse and tried to grab the mouse back: “Get away, don’t turn off the stream. I’m disgusted with him but that doesn’t reduce the enjoyment I have from watching him act– –Everything he says is a lie, it’s rare to see someone who can fool everyone whenever he opens his mouth. This is a live textbook example of how all males in the esports world are undesirable!”
Lu Sicheng bent over and wouldn’t let go of Tong Yao’s mouse: “Tsk, what crazy things you’re talking about.”
Tong Yao pulled on his fingers: “All of them are scumbags, liars.”
Lu Sicheng put more force on his hand: “It’s only that you haven’t met any good ones. Don’t stereotype us.”
Tong Yao now tried to pry open his fingers: “What do you mean ‘I haven’t met any good ones.’ So, it’s my fault? Why don’t you point out some good men in this business– –Someone with good temperament, plays good games, looks good, has patience, and won’t fool around or cheat!”
“There certainly is someone like that.” Lu Sicheng’s hand relaxed a bit.
“Who?” Tong Yao took the chance to stuff her fingers in between the mouse and Lu Sicheng’s palm, then she asked without looking up.
Lu Sicheng was silent for three seconds.
“Me.”
“What?” Tong Yao was still focusing on prying his hand off the mouse.
“I said, me.” Pushing down his wrist, Lu Sicheng’s palm now pressed down on the fingers that were moving around under his palm. “Do you want to have a try?”
Tong Yao’s fingers were stuck between the mouse and his palm.
Tong Yao: “……”
Lu Sicheng: “……”
Tong Yao confusedly raised her head to look at the man behind her who was now bending half way down.
Not far from them, all the other teammates who were concentrating on their ranked matches just a second ago were now all staring at Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng, baffled……Little Fatty even threw his mouse.
Tong Yao: “What did you say?”
She looked into that pair of dark brown pupils, trying to make clear of his emotions right now……Yet, she failed to see anything in them. The pair of pupils were darker than usual, as deep as the ocean. She couldn’t make out anything.
Lu Sicheng let go of her hand.
The temperature which was on top of her fingers disappeared– —
“It’s nothing.” Lu Sicheng casually said: “I’m just saying. Look how scared you got. Good for nothing.”
Tong Yao: “…………………………………..”
Tong Yao: “Gee! How can you make a joke about this? ? ? ? ?”
“Sure I can.” Lu Sicheng walked over to the refrigerator, pulled the door open, and squatted down until his whole body disappeared behind the refrigerator door: “I can if I say so.”
Tong Yao pulled off her slippers, raised them up and waved it at Lu Sicheng’s direction– —
But what she couldn’t see at the moment……
The man squatting down behind the refrigerator door didn’t reach for anything inside the fridge……He used one of his hands to hold his forehead, kept still for a while, then released his hand with a rather helpless look. Then he reached over to take out a bottle of water, twisted open the cap, and gulped down the entire bottle.
