Chapter 117 (3)
Xiao Rui saw all the players come in with long faces and didn’t know what had happened. He tried to comfort them: “Hrm, what’s wrong with you all? You just won the game, be happy. In any case, you have an all win record through the second phase……”
“We’re not done with the second phase yet. The real battle is on Sunday next week. The team next door is really strong now. After Pope joined them, it was like a catalyst and the whole team has changed. Even their captain’s support has regained his aggressiveness and fighting spirit he had when he was the support god in the junior league. If we let them seize the chance, there’s a chance that they’ll press down so hard we won’t be able to breathe.” Lu Sicheng interrupted Xiao Rui. “You all better worry about that coming game. With today’s mindset, it’s likely that we’ll lose that game.”
— –ZGDX was going to face the last team in B group, YQCB, on Sunday, next week. After that game, they would finish the second phase of the competition and return to round robin within their own A group, playing against Huawei, Red Arrow, King, Lan, and Obsidian.
In other words, whether they could maintain their all-win record before the third phase– –or in the whole three phases of the competition– –the match on that Sunday was the one that mattered the most.
……………………Though what he said was all true, Xiao Rui took a look at Tong Yao and lifted his chin up, signaling for Tong Yao to do something.
Tong Yao reached over to push Lu Sicheng at the back of his waist. Lu Sicheng turned his head and raised his eyebrows to look at her: “Gee, what are you doing? I’m telling the truth.”
“Who wants to listen to your truth?” Tong Yao rolled her eyes at Lu Sicheng who still didn’t know what’s going on: “Go on the bus and take your nap. Don’t talk so much.”
Lu Sicheng had no choice but to pick up Tong Yao’s backpack and walked towards the door. After a few steps, he thought about something and turned around to hug the owner of the backpack under his arm as well. He hugged Tong Yao with one of his arms and walked towards the parking lot ostentatiously.
Xiao Rui followed behind them: “Aren’t you two a bit too cocky after getting out of the closet?”
“Yeah.” Lu Sicheng lazily replied without even looking back: “Otherwise, why do we want to take the risk of going public?”
Xiao Rui: “……”
They all got on the bus and Lu Sicheng led Tong Yao to sit on the very last row– —
When Old K got on the bus, he sat down on the same row on their way here. Old Cat’s jacket was still on the seat next to him.
Tong Yao got nervous when she saw Old K had sat down on the same row. A few seconds later, just as she had anticipated, Old Cat got on the bus and didn’t stop at his original seat. He passed by the row and didn’t even look at Old K, even though Old K looked up at him. He simply bent over to grab his jacket, put it over his shoulder, and moved to the row behind to sit next to Little Fatty.
When he swung the jacket over his shoulder, the edge of the jacket even brushed over Old K’s face.
At that instant, Old K’s face, which was usually an expressionless baby face, became darker and darker.
Tong Yao: “……………………..”
Tong Yao clung to the sleeve of her captain next to her and whispered: “Oh no, top and jungler are totally estranged.”
Lu Sicheng took off his earbuds and asked without much concern: “What?”
Before Tong Yao could answer, Little Fatty turned his head and gave her a look while grinning. A little while later, Tong Yao’s cell phone lit up– —
[The rounded fat: ………………………………Help, I’m afraid. Will K god give me a caning tonight?]
[ZGDX, Smiling: Take a look at Old Cat sitting next to you. K god will surely give you a caning plus three feet of white silk[1] to make sure you’ll be really dead. Take care.]
[1]: They’re referring to punishments used at the imperial courts in ancient China. One is analogous to caning. The three feet of white silk refers to a punishment where people were ordered to commit suicide and were offered white silk long enough to be used to hang oneself.
