Chapter 113 (2)
Tong Yao shook the cell phone in her hand: “Someone said on Tieba that you have a crush on me.”
Lu Sicheng gave her a glance, then took out his phone to check the Tieba. He then corrected her: “Actually it said that we’re together.”
Tong Yao: “No it didn’t. The original poster said she could tell from the look in your eyes that you have a crush on me. I was watching the game. What were you peeping at me for– –Today you even made the excuse to come to my room to take a shower and show off your ab muscles. You do have a crush on me.”
Lu Sicheng laughed and put down his cell phone: “It was Little Fatty who drove me to your room because he wanted to take a shower too……Hum, alright, I have a crush on you. Are you going to grant my wish?”
Amidst the burst of uproarious laughter and whistling, Tong Yao also put her cell phone down and pretended to earnestly think it over: “Let me think about it. I’m such a young, lovely girl. Loved by everyone and I can carry a game on my own as well. What’s the advantage being with you? Will you give me the red buff?”
Lu Sicheng said with all seriousness: “I won’t let you have it even if you’re pregnant with a kid with the last name Lu.”
Tong Yao: “……”
Everyone was amused by their bickering and started to joke around among themselves. Some teased Little Fatty saying that he got a green hat just like that. In the end no one noticed one fact– –That Lu Sicheng didn’t deny anything that had been said in the Tieba posts……
Neither did Tong Yao.
……
Next day, the A team accompanied the B team to the competition arena. Today’s opponent was the team CK. Before they went out the door of the hotel, Tong Yao grabbed the B team players– –especially their jungler– –and admonished them: winning is the only option, you can’t lose; even if you lose, it can’t be in the jungle.
CK was one of the top teams in the major league. The B team players all indicated that what Tong Yao had asked was too tough to accomplish and they refused to comply. The only thing they could strive for was to not lose too badly……
When they got off the bus, they found many esports media waiting in the parking lot– –Xiao Rui was the first one to get off and, slow to react, was dumbfounded by what he saw. The next second he found out that the A team, which was here for vacation and as bystanders, had become the focus of the Demacia Cup.
Media A: “Please Cheng Ge, Cheng Ge look over here, please tell us are you and Smiling really like what they said out there?”
Media B: “Please, Smiling, what do you think about the whole thing?”
Tong Yao: “I have no thoughts.”
Media C: “If you two aren’t together, then why would you put on his jacket? !”
Tong Yao: “I’ve been having stomach aches because of my period. The captain was afraid that their mid would die from the pain and then the team won’t have a mid !”
Media D: “Do your teammates know about this?”
Little Fatty: “We don’t know, don’t know! Move away, move away, move away– –”
At the end, the teams had to rely on Little Fatty and security to push open a path in the parking lot to escort them into the arena. They left the noisy reporters behind. Xiao Rui breathed out a long sigh of relief: “Damn, is this the entertainment circle or the esports circle? I, a team manager, have turned into a celebrity agent who has to block the paparazzi for you……”
After they went into the arena, they found out that the whole incident hadn’t ended yet. As they were entering the arena, the entire audience, already seated, turned their heads to look at them– —
The boisterous arena suddenly became unexpectedly quiet. Even the commentators, who were just talking passionately as they analyzed the lineups of both teams, also stopped talking. The atmosphere inside the arena became quite eerie.
