You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 85 Part 2

This young lady’s Weibo username was “Guoguo.” She went over to the trunk and lifted her foot ready to close the back of the trunk. Her eyes caught the sight of a thick scrapbook…...She paused and bent over to take out the scrapbook. She opened the first page. It was the picture of the current public enemy of the esports circle wearing a Qing Dynasty uniform and smiling brightly-- --

The picture was taken when Xu Tailun won his first match after he joined the Qing Dynasty.

At the bottom of the picture there were phrases written in three different languages: Chinese, English, and Korean in highlighter:  Tailun Ge, happy birthday!

She flipped through pages of the scrapbook. There were various pictures each with more sentences in different handwriting-- --[Xu Tailun is the best : )] [Thank you for coming to be with us] [Our little angel Tailun, go for the summer season] [Thank you for bringing me into the wonderful LoL professional scene. I’ve seen many pro scenes and in the end I’ve decided to stay with you always]......

On the last page, [I’ll be at your side no matter what-- --Guoguo]

The last picture was dated August 31 of this year, a date in the future. This scrapbook was put together by many of Xu’s fans as a gift for Xu Tailun’s birthday. They had started compiling the book since February this year. The scrapbook had been carefully sent to forty some cities through express delivery, collecting numerous handwritten wishes from fans all over the country. The book eventually came back to Guoguo…...A thick scrapbook filled with the expectation that it would be delivered to the hand of their most favorite player.

But, there was no use for this scrapbook now.

Guoguo put the book back into the trunk. Another notification chime reminded her of her cell phone…...She hesitated for a moment, then turned to pick up the phone and read through hundreds of unread messages which had came in the last dozen of hours-- --

[Guoguo, are you alright? qaq]

[You cleared out your Weibo. Are you going to leave us? Don’t, wuwuwuwu……]

[Don’t understand why you have to do this.]

[Didn’t we agree not to make these things public? Didn’t expect that the person to betray Xu Tailun in the end would be you…...You also betrayed us. You’re a traitor.]

[Xu Tailun got banned.]

[Thanks a lot.]

[You’re really an evil woman.]

[He’s a jerk. Not worth it. Guoguo, let it go. If I knew in the beginning that he’s this kind of person, I wouldn't have become his fan in the first place, I wouldn’t despite the fact that he plays great games.]

……

[This week is his last match. Are you coming?]

Guoguo’s eyes rested on the last message.

After a long while, she opened WeChat as if she had finally made up her mind and went on to a ticket sales app-- --Her finger on the cell phone was trembling. It suddenly reminded her the first time when she decided to go watch a pro-league game in person. On that Monday morning, she had gotten up early to shower and put on makeup. Afterwards, she went to a Starbucks to meet with some friends and waited there until noon. Then they, each with a cell phone in hand and quick heartbeats, opened the ticket buying app and ordered front row seats for the match scheduled that week……

Qing Dynasty’s match against Huawei was on Thursday and it was already Wednesday. When Guoguo went to the ticket purchasing page, there were only a few tickets in the back rows left. Guoguo randomly chose a seat in the very last row. She clicked confirm and paid for the ticket.

Her thoughts went back to that Monday again. She remembered how she excitedly hugged her friends after they all got front row seats. She didn’t know how to describe the joy she experienced at that time. All she could think of at the time was-- --What am I going to wear that day?

I’m going to put on nice makeup!

It doesn’t matter if he won’t be able to see me. I have to be beautiful that day!

Xu Tailun, I’m really, really, happy I’ll be seeing you.
