Chapter 121 Part 2
When everything quieted down upstairs, Old K continued instructing the B team jungler: “After farming this, don’t mind Malphite, go directly to bot. When passing by mid, take a look at the minions there, if it’s near our own side, then help with farming them.” As he was talking, he lifted his eyelids to glance upstairs, paused for a moment, then cast his eyes downwards again without saying anything.
— –Tong Yao rested her head on the railing on the second floor and saw everything happen.
She continued leaning against the railing for some time before she sensed that someone was coming closer from behind. A big hand reached over to rest on her waist, a firm chest pasted onto her back, and the man bent over with his hairy head nudging against her head. He asked in a low voice: “What are you looking at?”
“I’m watching to see how far these two are going to keep it up like this.”
“They won’t make up before tomorrow.”
“……Then the match– –”
“Be prepared to lose.”
Tong Yao slightly widened her eyes and turned her head around. Her lips briskly brushed over his. Lu Sicheng briefly paused, then slightly forced himself down on Tong Yao– –His lean and long fingers held her chin in place and he lowered his head ready to catch her soft lips: “It’s only group matches now. I would feel rather uneasy if we really did have an all win record……These guys are already getting bloated. Today I heard Little Fatty ask to play Bard for tomorrow on his own.”
Little Fatty didn’t play Bard well. Last time they played against YQCB, Little Fatty was so reluctant to play Bard when asked by the team in order for them to play 4 protect 1…… Though the team won that match in the end, Little Fatty still didn’t feel comfortable playing Bard.
“The team next door is quite strong nowadays……”
“En.” Lu Sicheng’s lips were on the corner of Tong Yao’s lips and answered absent-mindedly: “As such, we can lose the game simply from carelessness, being out of touch, or being not fully prepared.”
Tong Yao looked downwards.
She thought for a while and whispered: “But I don’t want to lose, even if it’s just a group match……”
Lu Sicheng stopped rubbing next to her ear.
He lifted slightly his heavy head which was resting upon her shoulder and pondered earnestly before saying: “We don’t have to lose. But it’s better to lose now than at a more important moment– –If not now, then when? The final match of the summer competition or the final match of the world championship? The team next door is strong, but the strong teams from the Korean professional league are much stronger than the one next door– –Wait till the world championship, then that’ll be the time when we can’t really afford to lose.”
“……”
“Look at how bloated they are now. A minor issue during the game will cause them to blame each other, get into fights, or even mess up a skirmish. They thought they’re really invincible just by winning several group matches in a row?”
His voice was low and slow, with a tint of coldness.
Tong Yao couldn’t respond: “……You’ve always figured out how to set up your teammates, the upper management of the club, and me, aren’t you exhausted?”
“Sure I am. I’m over exerting myself.” Lu Sicheng picked Tong Yao up, ignoring her struggling, and steadily strode towards his room: “Then how about giving me some reward?”
Tong Yao lifted her hand to pinch his face: “You’re acting like a bastard.”
Lu Sicheng giggled and tightened his arms and slightly lifted his head to kiss Tong Yao’s chin……Tong Yao giggled as she tried to avoid him. As she was teasing back and forth with him, somehow Tong Yao’s mind was filled with anxiousness about tomorrow’s game– —
Ever since she joined the team, except for the night before the first game of the summer season, she hadn’t had this feeling for quite some time now.
It was a feeling of apprehension about a brewing storm.
