Chapter 137 (4)
It was Little Fatty’s voice– —
[What exactly do you like about her? Don’t give me those superficial things like on the marriage oath– –To tell the truth, Tong Yao’s looks are pretty ordinary– –compared to those pretty fangirls of yours.]
There wasn’t an immediate answer to the question, only the quiet rustling sound. Tong Yao knew very well what she would hear next, but she couldn’t help feeling her heart tighten. A few seconds later, she heard the voice of Lu Sicheng with a faint smile– —
[She’s quite a strong player.]
[She’s cute when she cries.]
[The spark of love comes from nowhere, but the feelings get deeper and deeper.]
Tong Yao: “……”
Tong Yao turned off the audio clip and put down her phone. She went into the bathroom feeling exhausted and was somewhat absent minded as she wrapped up her injured finger. Water seeped through the bandage as she was showering, making her wound hurt. Then the shower gel made it worse. When she thought about the fact that she would have to change the bandage, which she had changed in the afternoon, again later on and suffer the pain from applying alcohol again, Tong Yao was on the verge of falling apart.
— –It finally became the last straw.
All of a sudden, all the frustration, fear and anger she had bottled up for the past few days overwhelmed her like a bursting dam– –All the messy negative thoughts flooded her brain. Those negative thoughts mixed with Lu Sicheng’s gentle voice saying “get deeper and deeper” making her feel like her head was going to explode.
Standing under the showerhead, Tong Yao couldn’t tell whether the water flowing down her face was from the shower or her tears. She only knew that she was standing at first, quietly sobbing and shivering with the sound of the flowing water. Then she started to lose control and cried harder and harder. Eventually, she had lost all of her strength and came out of the shower to sit on the toilet naked, but continued to wail– —
She cried till her brain felt like it ran out of oxygen.
She cried till she was completely exhausted.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the soaked wound on her finger had become too painful for her to take it anymore, otherwise Tong Yao doubted that she would have ever stopped crying till she had used up all the tears in her enter life…… She couldn’t remember when the last time she had cried so hard.
Finally, she came out of the bathroom hiccuping.
Her cell phone rang just as she neared her bed. It was from Jinyang. Tong Yao answered the call with a hoarse voice. Jinyang paused for a second then murmured whether Tong Yao had hid in the bathroom crying. But without waiting for Tong Yao’s reply, Jinyang told her to go online to check some news.
Tong Yao squinted her swallowed eyes and thought what’s there to see?
But she couldn’t get over her curiosity and clicked open Tieba anyway to check.
The first thing she saw was a repost of the headline from an esports media, ZMM, which was famous for stirring up issues: [Chessman: As a professional player, Smiling has always been qualified.]
Tong Yao: “……”
Tong Yao was shocked to see it and hiccupped again. She thought, damn, was the sky going to rain red now, even ZMM could have a normal headline like this?
She kept sliding downwards and saw another headline– —
[All the trolls owe ZGDX an apology: The organizer working actively with the club has found the culprit who’s responsible for leaking the ZGDX’s lineup in a skirmish. The person was the sound person backstage during the competition and the person was fired.]
Under this post, there were all similar comments: Sorry, ZGDX.
Tong Yao: “……”
Tong Yao was now truly in shock– —
She had thought the leaked information incident, what seemed like the beginning of all her troubles, was already so far in the past that no one would bother getting to the bottom of it. She had no idea that there was someone who would take it seriously and keep at it until they clarified what had happened……
Who was this person?
Who?
