You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 131 Part 1

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 131 Part 1

The next morning, after Tong Yao got up, she found Dubhe was already sitting in the training area across from her room-- -- She didn’t notice it since she wasn’t paying attention at the time, but now as she carefully thought back, she remembered that under normal conditions, she and Dubhe were usually the first or the second one in the whole base to get up in the morning……

They saw each other across the hallway. Tong Yao didn’t know whether Dubhe had noticed the guilty conscience on her face when he looked up to glance at her and mumbled: “Morning.”

Tong Yao took out her cell phone to send a message to her captain-- --

[ZGDX, Smiling: I’m up. You all are still sleeping. Dubhe is up too. I’m going to get some breakfast for him, no objection?”

After sending the message, she put the cell phone in her pocket and went downstairs to take out a bun and a yogurt drink. Then she ran up the stairs and put both the bun and yogurt in front of Dubhe: “For you, Mr. Ultraman dog.”

Dubhe looked up and used a look which could dissect a person into pieces to glance over Tong Yao’s face. Then he obediently picked up the bun-- -- In the game, his teammates suddenly found him standing still in bushes as they were farming, they pinged near him twice then pinged with a question mark.

With a piece of bread in his mouth, he typed: [Eat breakfast.]

Tong Yao stood behind him watching him play. She pulled out her cell phone again and discovered that her captain who should be sound asleep at this time had replied to her WeChat-- --

[I want to tie the red thread with you: Not allowed.]

Tong Yao: “......”

[ZGDX, Smiling: Too late. I’ve already done it.]

[I want to tie the red thread with you: You’re already a dead body.]

[ZGDX, Smiling: ……………………….]

[I want to tie the red thread with you: I’ll take care of you after I wake up.]

Tong Yao put her phone away, keeping a smile on her face. Dubhe already went back to focus on playing his game…… Tong Yao stood behind him trying to say something but hesitated. After a while, she still couldn’t bring herself to say anything to him and was ready to get herself out of there. Suddenly, Dubhe started to talk: “You’ve seen that post?”

Tong Yao: “......Mhm.”

Dubhe: “Did you check it this morning?”

Tong Yao shook her head and took out the cell phone to check. She found that the post was still on top of Tieba’s homepage. Yet when she looked beyond it, all the posts were about Old Cat’s famous quote-- -- You may have seen the US president twitter, but when have you ever seen ZGDX’s captain apologizes? !

[Bystander A: That man, he would apologize!]

[Bystander B: We don’t know yet how many “fuck”s Old Cat had cursed when accepting his captain’s apology that day.]

[Bystander C: Reply to B, probably so much that he’s gotten all of this month’s pay deducted.]

[Bystander D: Poor guy. I can imagine that picture. All the kids on the ZGDX teams probably were frightened to death…...6666666 How about our OP? Didn’t you shout out that my Cheng Ge wouldn’t realize that he had made a mistake? You were jumping up and down so happily yesterday, why haven’t you said something today?]

[Bystander E: You don’t say. Yesterday when I was watching Old Cat stream, I could feel the madness in his eyes even across from the screen.]

[Ultraman dog: Uhm, those who’re licking his boots, I want to throw up.]

Tong Yao: “......”

Hundred of comments were all quite emotional about the fact that Lu Sicheng would actually apologize-- --

In many fans' minds, he was as perfect as a god.

Tong Yao put her phone away again and watched Dubhe play with slightly gathered eyebrows. As she was watching, she finally mustered enough courage to ask: “I thought you couldn’t wait for Lu Sicheng to fail so you can take his place? Yesterday, if it wasn’t you who told us about this post, we wouldn’t know about it. Why do you want to help him then?”

Tong Yao asked all her questions in one breath, but Dubhe ignored her. Tong Yao asked again: “Why, afterall?” Dubhe still ignored her, keeping his eyes fixed on his computer screen as if he was completely focused on the game-- -- Tong Yao bent over and swiftly used her finger to click the “f” key on Dubhe’s keyboard to make his champion flash. His champion suddenly teleported a short distance forward!

Dubhe screeched and received a series of question marks from his teammates. He looked up at Tong Yao’s face which was delighted at her own prank, as if to say: well done, that’s what you get for ignoring me-- --The two of them stared at each other childishly for a few seconds. Dubhe then took his eyes away from Tong Yao’s face: “No matter what, his hand can probably last till after the spring competition next year. I don’t want to take over a minor league team by the time I move up to the A team after working so hard for it.”

Tong Yao: “......”

It sounded like an adequate reason.

You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 130 Part 3

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile 
Chapter 130 Part 3

Old K came out of the kitchen carrying a carton of milk. When he passed by Old Cat, he covered Old Cat’s mouth with his hand-- --Old Cat violently struggled to get Old K’s hand off. The two of them started arguing……

“Why do you have to say so much to them?”

“They insisted that that post which knew about our skirmish with the Koreans was posted by someone from our team. They said our team only looks harmonious on the outside. They said-- --”

“There’s nothing wrong with saying that. Today before we went out of the door, you even rolled your eyes at me.”

“Damn you! Is this the time to talk about that?”

“Why do you have to bother with them……”

“All the information about that skirmish is kept secret. Though I don’t know how this person got the information, I know for sure it isn’t from our own people. If they keep talking like that then we’ll start to grow suspicious of each other…… It’s an especially dirty trick to create issues among teammates in a team!”

“Are you an idiot? We discussed so much about that skirmish during that ban & pick phase. Though the audience couldn’t hear us, you know how many backstage sound people could hear us?”

“......”

Tong Yao leaned against the railing listening to the argument between the best partners on the team till their voices grew smaller and smaller…… Old K’s words about the backstage sound workers reminded Tong Yao. She realized that it was true people outside of their team could know about that skirmish as well……

If that was the case-- --Tong Yao tried to make some sense out of the mess. Then she felt someone was looking at her quietly. She looked slightly upwards and met Dubhe's eyes who was standing on the hallway of the third floor. He had a towel and a cup holding his toothbrush in his hand. His hair was slightly damp, he probably just finished showering. He stood there looking at Tong Yao without any expression on his face.

Tong Yao: “......”

Tong Yao slowly straightened her body.

Dubhe kept looking at her for a while, then abruptly spoke: “I have better things to do than that.”

He turned to walk away after saying that.

Tong Yao scratched her head. She went back to her room and picked up her cell phone to go on op.gg website-- -- This website tracked everyone’s rankings globally, including those on the Korean server. She typed in Dubhe’s id. Among all of his victorious matches, she found out that he had played a match that lasted for 50 minutes since 4:45 pm that afternoon. In this ranked match, Dubhe ended with 32 kills, 2 deaths, plus 10 assists, had one pentakill, and essentially carried the match.

On the other hand, the author of that particular post had started writing since 5 pm and hadn’t stopped yet. Anyone who retorted to him, he immediately fought back-- -- A person who was playing an intense match and did so well in the match definitely wouldn’t have the time to keep replying at the same time…… Even though Dubhe had died twice during the match, the respawn time during the early game was only a few seconds and only a minute during the late game. There wouldn’t be enough time for him to type all those words.

In other words, Dubhe couldn’t have possibly made that post.

Just like he said, he had better things to do?

[ZGDX, Smiling: I’m doomed. I thought that the post trolling you had been written by Dubhe. qaq. I blamed the wrong person.]

[I want to tie the red thread with you: What’s the id? That brat’s Tieba id is something like Ultraman dog, pretty childish. It’s easy to tell.]

[ZGDX, Smiling: ……………….He’s Ultraman dog! ! ! Ah, very well, I’ve not only blamed the wrong person but also blamed the good guy.]

[I want to tie the red thread with you: ? ? So you’ve wrongfully blamed him and you want to marry him to redeem yourself? Look at the time, put down your cell phone, get to bed.]

You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 130 Part 2

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 130 Part 2

[That trash mid only depends on her gender to attract attention. The top is useless, disappearing from team fights. The jungler only knows how to fight monsters and couldn't lead the team. The ad, the team bully, got so big headed and messed up the ban & pick-- --666666666. It’s quite clear where the blame goes. OP, you must be that damn fatty support?]

Tong Yao chuckled when she read the last part, though the whole thing was quite serious…… Tong Yao then remembered the expression on Dubhe’s face when she last saw him on the second floor. She thought about the tone of the poster which was like he had deliberately modified it to sound silly. Furthermore, the result of their skirmish against the Korean team should have been a secret. People outside of the club shouldn’t have known that the lineup of their second round was copying that particular skirmish-- --Based on all the clues, Tong Yao automatically believed that the poster should be Dubhe.

Such an impatient brat, she should have taught him a lesson.

Tong Yao became more serious and, slightly frowned, continued to swipe up to see more posts. Soon her attention was caught by a post by someone with an id called “Ultraman dog”.

[Ultraman dog: Except for that one time when Lu Sicheng used Tong Yao’s computer during her stream to check the data of a certain skirmish, the results of any skirmish between ZGDX and Korean teams are always kept a secret. I don’t know where the OP got the information about ZGDX’s ban & pick strategy. To disclose such confidential information, you better be prepared to be tracked down.

In addition, let me remind you that there’s nothing wrong in applying the skills learned from skirmishes in a group match. Otherwise, what do you think skirmishes are for? Because they have too much time on their hands? -- --Don’t always think the Koreans are so noble. If it’s really something valuable, ZGDX wouldn’t use it in a group match even if they’ve learned it.

Finally, Lu Sicheng did cause some problems in that ban & pick. But the problem isn’t because Sivir is designed to restrict Ashe. Ashe in the late game does have the ability to counter Sivir, as long as there’s other hard cc (crowd control) that can trick Sivir to use her e, then Sivir would just be a muggle. The problem with Lu Sicheng is that: There aren’t that many hard cc in his team yet he still insisted on taking Ashe anyway.

He’s indeed full of hot air alright.

But it’s not like what you’ve said.

His problem is overlooking his team’s lineup and being too overconfident. At the same time, his teammates didn’t come out to stop him from doing so, his teammates also bear half of the blame-- --You could say that I’m whitewashing  Lu Sicheng, though this notion makes me want to throw up. But, don’t forget, this is a team game.]

Tong Yao, with one arm resting on her thigh to cup her face while the other held the cell phone, squinted slightly and thought: Wow, looks like this ‘Ultraman dog’ really knew what he was talking about……

Tong Yao checked other posts and found out that when this Ultraman dog was replying to others, his comments all showed that he really understood the game and was quite rational, unlike those crazy trolls. He told others that Lu Sicheng did make a mistake, but pointed out as a person quite familiar with the game: If you all don’t even know where his mistake lies, then don’t make things up.

Look at this, Tong Yao thought, Dubhe, even a fan is much wiser than you.

Tong Yao changed her posture, then used her alternate id to get on Tiebe to like Ultraman dog’s comments. She had turned into a fan of Ultraman dog. She then joined the fight-- --

As she was happily playing on Tieba, suddenly she heard a roar coming from downstairs-- --

“Fuck! The person who said that someone from our own team posted it better come out. I’ve turned on the stream to nicely and patiently explain to you, don’t try to create issues here! I’ve told you that the first round was because of the problem between me and Old K, it had nothing to do with anyone else. What are you bitching about here, fuck! So what if we took Ashe! We just did, so what! -- --Alright, be it that it wasn’t a good choice to take Ashe, our captain had apologized to us after we came back from dinner. He said he was being too willful and that he shouldn’t have taken Ashe. Damn, you’ve seen the US president’s twitter, but when have you ever seen ZGDX’s captain apologizes? ! ! ! !”

Tong Yao: “...........................................................”

Her cell phone fell on the floor as her hand shook from the shouting.

Tong Yao put on her slippers and opened her door to go lean on the railing to look down at the first floor. It was Old Cat, who was sitting crossed legged in front of his computer yelling and cursing. Usually, the players weren’t allowed to curse during their streams, though occasionally using them as filler words weren’t that big a problem. However, to shout like Old Cat was doing meant that he would probably get his pay deducted.

It looked like he was really furious.

Those Sweet Times - Chapter 95 Part 3

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



Those Sweet Times
Chapter 95 Part 3
Extra: Shen Zemu and Yang Yin

Yang Yin didn’t take the bag and said: “Boss, it’s alright, I’m not used to using this brand.” Yang Yin believed that it was better not to get used to luxury brands. What if she spoiled herself to getting used to using luxury brands? It’s easy to go from a frugal life to luxury but the other way around was much more difficult.

“Just take it, it’s for you. Don’t think too much of it. It’s a reward.”

“Since it’s an employee benefit, then, boss, you can simply convert this into money and deposit it into my account.”

“You’re not cute at all.” Deng Wenbo repeated his earlier comment. Then he lifted his chin up at Shen Zemu’s direction and asked Yang Yin with squinted eyes: “What’s going on between you and that guy there? I mean, you dress up like this, it can’t be all for him?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, boss. He’s still a student, the flower of our motherland.”

“Oh, yeah, just a kid. I don’t think you would have such poor taste.”

Yang Yin was a little impatient by now. She spoke with him for a little while longer and sent him off. She went back into the meeting room and as soon as she had sat down, Shen Zemu suddenly said: “Which month is your birthday?”

“Me? March.”

“Mine’s January.” He moved his eyes from the computer screen to look at her: “I’m older than you by two months. So, don’t take me for a kid from now on.”

“Oh.” Yang Yin was a little afraid to look into his eyes. She was afraid he would see through her mind. She looked at his computer screen and said in a small voice: “Then, you’re good.”

“And.”

“Hrm?”

“It doesn’t look good when you’re wearing high heels.”

Yang Yin almost choked herself. She looked down at her shoes and wondered how were they ugly? ? They looked super nice in her eyes!

In the afternoon, Yang Yin went back to her room to change into flip flops. Then she stood in front of Shen Zemu wearing a pair of vulgar hot pink flip flops and asked him: “Does this pair look better now?”

Shen Zemu looked down and glanced over the fair skin on the back of her feet and those small and delicate toes. He nodded: “It’s alright.”

Yang Yin thought to herself: what kind of aesthetic taste is this? Terrifying!

She just let herself loose the whole afternoon and wore the flip flops the whole time. But on the other hand, she felt comfortable wearing them.

Shen Zemu ate dinner with the team. When they were eating dinner, it started to rain heavily. Yang Yin was thinking of letting Shen Zemu leave when the rain stopped. But it began to rain harder and harder. The city even sent out warning messages about a torrential rain to everyone’s cell phones.

“Why don’t you just spend the night here tonight? I’ll let them get a room ready.” Yang Yin said.

One of the players asked Yang Yin: “Coach, why don’t we let Shen Ge move over here?”

Yang Yin slapped her head and looked over at Shen Zemu: “Where do you live now?”

“School.”

“There shouldn’t be anything going on over at school now?”

“There’s nothing.”

His school was on summer break now. Most of his classmates were doing internships now. Shen Zemu had completed his internship requirement in the summer of his sophomore year, so this summer he didn’t have anything to do.

“Why don’t, you……” Yang Yin, who had some ulterior motives of her own, felt a little uneasy when she started asking. After stammering a bit, she continued: “Move over here for a few days? You can move back to school after we finish our task.”

Shen Zemu looked over the curtain of rain outside the window and said: “En.”

You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 130 Part 1

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 130 Part 1

Tong Yao thought if she continued to stay away from Tieba, she wouldn’t be able to keep abreast with what was being posted online about their defeat. She would at least like to know how they were condemned if there really was a storm coming their way…… With that thought in mind, Tong Yao logged onto Tieba that night after going back to her room.

The first thing she saw on the homepage was posts blaming her and Old Cat for not running fast enough in the last moment of the final match that doomed ZGDX. She didn’t bother to look at those posts, though each thread was bustling with replies…… Tong Yao kept scrolling up and soon enough, she had found the post she was looking for-- --

[Subject] [You are all blaming the mid, top, and jungler. But, is ZGDX’s AD really blameless in all this?]

The main post:

Are you all blind or have you wasted your time watching the game? Those who keep boasting about Chessman are really lol. Once the team lost the game, they put the blame on the other teammates and then turned around to start bragging again: Our Cheng Ge has never been blamed because he never makes any mistakes.

I feel like throwing up.

The ban & pick of today’s first round went like shit. They banned Jhin and let the other side grab Sivir. I don’t know what was going on. But the other side already had Sivir and they still picked Ashe to go against Sivir. Lol.

Overconfidence?

Inflated ego? 

Then, they got destroyed.

For the entire game, as long as there was Sivir, Ashe was like a retard with bounded hands and feet! Hasn’t he been playing Kalista rather well? Didn’t they say that ZGDX could win any game even if the opponent wasn’t playing conventionally? Well, I don’t see them paying much respect to the conventional way with their weird lineup during the second round which they won…… Oh, right, speaking of which, I’ve heard that the winning lineup was a copy of the Korean team which they had a skirmish with : )

Ah, hahaha, let’s not talk about that. Anyway, a person like Lu Sicheng would never think there’s anything wrong with him. Yes, yes, yes, I know, today was only a group match, it wouldn’t have any effect on ZGDX’s ranking-- --

But, trust me, we can see what’s coming from just this small clue. Today, they’re just screwing around during the ban & pick phase and tomorrow, they’ll be throwing matches for esports betting. What’s the use of regulations? Does it work? The man you are all protecting today might turn out to be the biggest poison sooner or later.

All of you idiotic ZGDX fans just go ahead and keep protecting ZGDX. Keep their ego big like this and without any improvements, they can only be, at best, in the quarterfinals of the world tournament and watch the world tournament become a competition between three Korean teams as if it’s the fall season competition in the Korean region. I would welcome all of you to dig up this at that time and have my own words be thrown back at me-- --I truly wish that you will be able to do so.

……

Tong Yao: “......”

It was posted at 5pm that afternoon.

The poster sounded quite anxious, though he didn’t curse-- --it was obvious that he was aiming at Lu Sicheng. What he had said in the first part was quite fair, but towards the end, he seemed to have blown the issue out of proportion…… Usually, Tong Yao would patiently read through posts like this. At least, it had at least much more content than those which were simply bad mouthing them.

The responses to this post were in all sorts strange shapes and forms-- --

[Oh, you won’t even let Chessman off the hook. That’s really something, you must be crazy.]

[Honestly, what OP said is what I want to say. I just mentioned under another post that Chessman also has a big problem, then I got blasted by those Chessman fans.]

[It makes sense. It’s rational reasoning for who should take the blame. For that round, Chessman was the problem, that’s for sure. This is a game of five people, it doesn’t make sense that you all keep scolding the mid and top-- --They just happened to make the last mistake at the end of the match.]

[Ahhhhhh, what the hell, the only round they won was copying the lineup from a Korean team? qaq]

Those Sweet Times
Chapter 95 Part 2
Extra: Shen Zemu and Yang Yin

The next day, Shen Zemu came by again.

His model couldn’t be built simply by imagination. He needed the support and assistance from Yang Yin who worked on the front line as a coach.

They discussed for a long time inside the meeting room until a player came to knock on the door to inform them it was time for lunch.

Yang Yin had put on a skirt again today. It was a warm-toned floral patterned cotton dress. She had put a small bee shaped hairpin on her hair. She looked quite refreshing and sweet, especially among all the males.

The players appreciated the changes in their coach. When Shen Zemu was about to leave, they held his arms and sincerely said: “You have to come more often, Mr. Data Analyst.”

Shen Zemu only lightly responded with an “en.”

The third day, Shen Zemu was there again.

Actually, he had a lot of things to go over with Yang Yin.

Right after he arrived, Deng Wenbo also came by. Deng Wenbo was a little alarmed when he saw a man whom he didn’t know walk into his club and this man didn’t look like a delivery man at all.

When Deng Wenbo walked in the living room of the base, he found Yang Yin, all dressed up, talking to the man with a brilliance in her eyes which was hard to overlook…… He suddenly understood something.

“Boss, you’re here again.” Yang Yin said casually after seeing Deng Wenbo walk in.

“What do you mean by ‘again’? I can’t come here? You don’t want to see me here?” Deng Wenbo was a little annoyed. He looked at the man and asked: “Who is this?”

“Boss, let me introduce him. This is the data analyst I’ve told you about, Shen Zemu. Shen Zemu, this is Boss Deng.”

“Oh……” Deng Wenbo carefully looked at Shen Zemu.

Shen Zemu also carefully sized up Deng Wenbo.

At a moment like this, it was good that Shen Zemu usually had an expressionless face. Since he didn’t have any expression, when he was meeting the other person’s eyes, it seemed that he had a much stronger presence.

Deng Wenbo frowned a bit, moved his eyes away from Shen Zemu, and asked Yang Yin on purpose: “Is he reliable?”

“For sure. He’s a top student from Nanshan University. Boss, have a seat. We have things to go over, we’ll be off.” As she was talking, Yang Yin slightly pulled on Shen Zemu’s arm.

Her fingertips were a little coolish. When they touched Shen Zemu’s skin, he found the sensation not offensive at all.

Shen Zemu didn’t look at Deng Wenbo again and followed Yang Yin into the meeting room.

Deng Wenbo was quite unhappy being ignored by them. He followed them to the meeting room and called out at the door: “Yang Yin, come out.”

Yang Yin had just sat down, she turned her head to ask: “Boss, what’s up?”

“Come out.”

Yang Yin stood up and said to Shen Zemu: “You wait here.”

Shen Zemu responded with an “en” and turned on the computer.

As Yang Yin was walking out, Shen Zemu took a glance at her. She was wearing high heels again today. The thin heels pushed her body up making the contour of her legs tight and pretty. But the way she walked was a bit awkward, obviously she wasn’t used to wearing high heels.

Yang Yin walked to the door. She leaned against the door frame with the door still half open: “Boss, what exactly do you want? Make it clear quickly, I’m really busy.”

“This is for you.” Deng Wenbo handed over a paper bag which had the logo of Chanel on it.

Yang Yin peeked inside the bag, it looked like there was a perfume inside.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 129 Part 3

Tong Yao blushed and hurriedly tried to sit up. But Lu Sicheng pressed down on her shoulder with more force, she couldn’t move in his arms-- --Tong Yao slightly trembled from nervousness and the restless big hand which was moving towards the front. When the big hand was pasted on her ribs, Tong Yao abruptly shivered.

“Continue.” Lu Sicheng’s low voice sounded next to her ear.

“......Continue, continue what. I was speechless at the time. I felt like an accessory to a tyrant. But I couldn’t just say, yeah, you’re right, good point!” Tong Yao relentlessly said with a red face: “I had to shield you to cover your shortcoming. What else could I do? I could only tough it out by saying to him: wait till you can move up to the A team……”

When Tong Yao finished, she could feel the restless big hand suddenly stop.

Right afterwards, the head which was pressed down on her shoulder started to move. Then Lu Sicheng started to laugh-- --His hand slid down to hold her waist. He was holding her tightly like she was something precious and his kisses began landing on her neck and shoulder……

Lu Sicheng couldn’t stop laughing.

Just as Tong Yao was wondering whether Lu Sicheng had gone mad from being too angry and was getting ready to throw her out of the second floor window, Lu Sicheng abruptly released his hold a little-- --She looked up into his eyes. Under the light, those dark brown pupils didn’t seem to show any annoyance, there weren’t an ounce of flippancy or disdain either.

Only his lips were slightly curving upwards. He lowered his head to give her a kiss on her forehead.

“Well said. Come to think of it, indeed, I do have some problems myself.”

“......”

“I won’t be like that next time.” His kisses landed on Tong Yao’s slightly stiff lips that were too shocked to hear his admission: “If there’s any problem, you should speak up. I’m not going to eat you guys.”

“.................”

Tong Yao thought: Just a minute ago, I truly believed you would not only eat people but was also very good at it.

……

That night, when Little Fatty and the others came back to the base just before curfew. They opened the front door and saw their captain and mid standing in the living room while Xiao Rui and the others sat on the couch with serious looks on their faces.

The atmosphere inside was quite frightening.

Little Fatty took a glance at Tong Yao, Tong Yao pushed Lu Sicheng from behind. Lu Sicheng staggered two small steps forward from the push-- --Little Fatty was about to change into his slippers but was so frightened that he stepped back and collided with Lu Yue who was standing behind him.

Lu Yue took a look over Little Fatty’s shoulder at the stone faced Lu Sicheng, then another look at the uneasy Tong Yao behind him-- --Based upon the atmosphere in the living room, he thought it through a bit, frowned, and earnestly asked: “Shorty, you got pregnant?”

Everyone: “......”

The water in Xiao Rui’s mouth splashed out all over Ming god’ face who was sitting next to him.

Tong Yao’s face changed from anxious, to dumbfounded, to shock, to flushed, then back to being dumbfounded. She finally couldn’t take it anymore, she lifted up her leg and kicked the calf of the man in front of her-- --

Lu Sicheng screeched a little and turned to take a look at Tong Yao. Tong Yao simply fixed her eyes on him-- --Finally, he seemed unable at holding his stone face anymore and a frustrated expression showed on his face. Lu Sicheng turned around to face the people standing at the doorway unable to move a muscle and waved his hand at them: “Today, during the ban & pick phase, it was my fault not banning Sivir and for taking Ashe. My ego was a bit inflated and self-indulgent. I’m sorry about that. In the games in the future, you don’t have to be so indulgent with me. If there’s anything wrong, just speak up. I’ll make changes.”

After Lu Sicheng finished, the whole base was silent for a few seconds.

There were 7 confused faces at the doorway.

Little Fatty even backed out of the base to check the street number on the door. Then he touched his head and thought: Could it be possible that he had returned to a fake base and met a fake captain?

As everyone was confused about what had happened, only Tong Yao who was standing at the very back breathed out a sigh of relief. She subconsciously looked up at the second floor. Leaning against the second floor railing, the B team AD was watching everything that had happened downstairs.

When Dubhe’s eyes met Tong Yao’s, he raised his eyebrows and cynically pointed at the cell phone in his hand: Tong Yao could barely make out Tieba on the phone.

Tong Yao slightly frowned. She could vaguely guess that the issue with today’s game wasn’t going to blow over that easily.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 129 Part 2

Tong Yao did smell the faint scent of the tincture since she entered the room.

She felt a bit at ease about Lu Sicheng’s wrist. Then she pulled his big hand, which had reached in again to touch her upper thigh, out from under her shorts. She sat up-- --The two of them sat face to face with legs crossed-- --Under Lu Sicheng’s begrudging gaze, Tong Yao pulled out a roll of bandages from her pocket.

She looked up.

Lu Sicheng frowned, rather reluctantly.

Tong Yao gave him a stare and not so gently grabbed Lu Sicheng’s hand and placed it on top of her knee-- --Though his hand was held in place, Lu Sicheng used his slender fingers to play around with the strings on Tong Yao’s shorts. When he had successfully unhooked the bow-knot, Tong Yao slapped the back of his hand!

The snap was quite loud.

“Is this the way you treat an injured person?” Lu Sicheng pulled his hand back: “You were so close to that male creature, I’m disinfecting for you……”

“It’s your wrist, not the back of your hand that hurts.”

Tong Yao rolled open the bandage, looked downwards, and carefully wrapped the bandage around his wrist-- --Her eyes were cast down, concentrating on the bandage. Under the light, her eyelashes slightly quivered as her eyes followed her hands. The slightly yellowish roll of medicinal bandage nimbly tumbled around in Tong Yao’s tender fingertips……

Lu Sicheng was touched as he watched her. He couldn’t help reaching over with his other hand to gather the hair next to her face and pull it back behind her ear. Then……

His big hand landed next to her ear and he couldn’t bring himself to move it away.

The slightly rough palm rubbed Tong Yao’s cheek. Tong Yao looked up at him.

Lu Sicheng used a little more force on his hand and the palm pressed down on her cheek. He said in a gentle and sincere manner: “You have a pimple here.”

“.................................” Tong Yao grit her teeth and tried her best to suppress the urge to slap him. She huffed as if she was having a toothache: “Because I was cranky. It’s all because of you. Remember that you’re responsible for it.” 

Lu Sicheng moved a bit and despite Tong Yao’s protest, pulled his arm back. Then with the bandage roll still dangling from his wrist, he pulled Tong Yao directly into his arms: “I declare that I’ll be responsible for you, the whole person.”

The tip of Tong Yao’s nose bumped into his shoulder.

She watched the bandage roll fall from his wrist down to the floor and rolled over next to the door.

Tong Yao: “......”

Lu Sicheng: “But first, tell me how it’s all because of me, so I can find the right antidote.”

Tong Yao: “Dubhe said-- --”

Lu Sicheng: “I don’t want to hear it, you just keep being cranky. I’ll give you a credit card later for you to buy acne skin care products, no matter how expensive it’ll be-- --I choose to buy my peace.”

“.......................” Tong Yao raised her hand to pinch Lu Sicheng’s ear: “You better listen to me. Dubhe just said that it was wrong for you to take Ashe in today’s first round. Though we had banned Jhin, we shouldn’t have let him get Sivir. Even if we let him have Sivir, how could we have taken Ashe. That was a bit too overconfident.”

Lu Sicheng thought about it. His big hand reached under her clothes from the back: “That’s what you two were talking about just now?”

“Right.”

Tong Yao felt a little nervous, without really knowing why.

She began to feel like she was challenging the authority of her captain.

But after pausing for a while, she decided to continue-- --

“He wasn’t totally wrong. He said we all indulge you too much and let you get inflated. When  playing a game, all you think about isn’t winning but showing off. It’s a game, what’s there to show off, damn-- --Indeed, none of us gave it much thought and just took what you said at face value. We didn’t even consider speaking up…... Ah!”

Tong Yao felt the strap on her shoulder suddenly loosen. It was the big hand on her back that had quietly unhooked her bra!

You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 129 Part 1

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 129 Part 1

As soon as Lu Sicheng slammed the door, he picked up Tong Yao and pinned her against the wall-- --With one hand holding her bottom, he used his other hand to touch her lips: “Where has he touched you, hrm? So close together……”

As he was asking, he also forced himself a little closer. Tong Yao’s back was against the cool wall and gasped from being pressed: “You saw? Why didn’t you come over?”

Lu Sicheng’s hand searched on Tong Yao’s lips and didn’t let go until he was sure that her lips were dry. His tight knitted eyebrows relaxed a bit. He pushed the person in his arms upwards and slightly lifted his head up to give her a loud smack-- -- Then he seemed to feel dissatisfied with it and bluntly bit her lips. He didn’t release Tong Yao’s slightly reddish lips until she hmphed in protest. Then the tip of his agile tongue pried open her teeth……

Tong Yao could sense his restlessness from his actions and didn’t push him away-- -- She just put her hands on his shoulder and lowered her head to accept his kisses……

Both of their breath became somewhat erratic.

Lu Sicheng let go of her and lifted his hand to brush away some messy stray hairs on her forehead. He looked into her eyes and said slowly: “I was waiting for you to push him away. I’ve said it before, a brat like him won’t easily give up unless you slap him to let him know it hurts……”

Tong Yao reached over to pinch his chin and lightly shook it: “Then aren’t you especially pleased when I pushed him away?”

“No.” Lu Sicheng kissed the tip of Tong Yao’s nose and said honestly: “I was anxious.”

“......”

“You should’ve kicked him away when he pushed you down onto the couch. Why bother listening to his nonsense?” Lu Sicheng slightly tilted his head: “What did he say that made you listen so attentively, hrm?”

Tong Yao frowned as if she had just remembered what Dubhe had said: “Ah, he said-- --”

Before she could finish, her whole body was carried away from the wall. Losing the support for her back, she screeched in a low voice then bent over to hug Lu Sicheng’s neck tight with both her arms as her legs encircling his firm waist like an octopus -- -- Next second, she and the man she was holding tightly fell into a soft bed……

“I’ll teach you a lesson. When your man asked while sounding particularly displeased about what the other male creature told you, he wasn’t really interested in knowing what you two had talked about.” Lu Sicheng’s hand reached in from under the hem of Tong Yao’s top and caressed her tummy: “He’s simply being unhappy.”

Tong Yao: “...................................................”

Tong Yao: “It looks like if I hadn’t pushed him away then, something big would’ve happened.”

Lu Sicheng: “Yes. Have you heard of abuse of power?”

Tong Yao: “......”

“The fact that he had talked to other clubs about transferring outside of the transfer window could be brought up at any time. I could get him banned, banned for a whole year……” The indignation in his voice soon sounded like he was joking towards the end. It was hard to tell whether he was joking or being serious……

Dubhe was trained by ZGDX and was a rare good Chinese ad in the current professional league. If a player like that would go to another club, it surely wasn’t a good thing for ZGDX……

Tong Yao looked into the dark brown eyes of the man who was on top of her. Lu Sicheng’s eyes brightened up and Tong Yao’s heart skipped a bit. She suddenly realized that to some degree he did mean what he had just said. Tong Yao lifted her hand to slap his head.

“Don’t mess around.”

Lu Sicheng: “Tsk.” He lifted his head up a little but his naughty big hand started to move downwards. It reached under the edge of her shorts-- --

Tong Yao grabbed his wrist: “Your hand doesn’t hurt now?”

“It hurts.” Lu Sicheng curved up the corners of his lips: “So don’t grab my hand. Let go, hurry.”

Tong Yao didn’t bother with his teasing. The wrist in her hand was slightly warm. Shocked, she lifted his hand towards herself, trying to take a closer look-- -- However, Lu Sicheng broke his wrist out of her hand at just that moment and used an indifferent tone of voice to tell her: “It’s nothing. I just applied the tincture on it. It’s starting to work and the skin’s a little warm……”

Those Sweet Times - Chapter 95 Part 1

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



Those Sweet Times
Chapter 95 Part 1
Extra: Shen Zemu and Yang Yin

After lunch, Yang Yin removed her makeup, then redid her face again. She removed the double eyelid tape. Though Deng Wendo wasn’t trustworthy in other areas, Yang Yin trusted his comments about a woman’s appearance. He was very experienced in these things after all.

When Shen Zemu came over in the afternoon, what he saw was Yang Yin’s ‘especially appealing’ single eyelids.

Shen Zemu didn’t wear a shirt today, instead, he was wearing a simple black short sleeved t-shirt and carried a laptop bag on his shoulder. He stood there looking at Yang Yin. His eyes glanced over her and in the end, stopped at her fair and smooth knees for a while.

Yang Yin was a little uneasy and subconsciously tucked her hair. She asked: “Anything you want to talk to me about?”

“I have an idea.”

Yang Yin led him to the meeting room. Then she took out two bottles of Sprite from the refrigerator and gave one to him.

Shen Zemu sat on the chair and watched the fine water beads form on the Sprite bottle. He was suddenly reminded of something and said to Yang Yin: “Though chocolate contains caffeine, it’s rather minimal and won’t aggravate insomnia.”

“Oh.” Yang Yin nodded in a composed manner: “What’s the idea you want to tell me? It can’t be this?”

“No.”

Shen Zemu took out his laptop and put it on the desk. His laptop was like his person, plain, square, and solid, giving people a sense of security for no apparent reason.

He had made a Powerpoint presentation.

Since only the two of them were going to watch it, there was no point in using the projector. Yang Yin pulled her chair near his to look at the presentation with him. Shen Zemu explained the contents to her.

Shen Zemu’s idea was rather bold-- --He wanted to create software to simulate a match. If he could do it, then they could simulate different players with different lineups playing matches against each other to predict the result of the match.

Yang Yin asked: “How accurate can it be?” It was the most important thing to her. If the prediction was too far off from reality, then it would truly bring down the team.

Shen Zemu said: “I can’t guarantee 100% accuracy. I can only keep perfecting it so it would keep getting closer to the actual situation. It’s just like asymptotes.”

“I feel that it would be rather difficult to do.”

It should be a difficult task. Simulating different lineups would be an easier job, as long as there was enough data for them to continue making corrections and perfecting the model. But building a model of the players would be much more difficult since there were too many variable elements in a person.

“I think it’s possible to build models of the players.” Shen Zemu said.

“How, how would you build it?”

“Use parameters to digitize all the players.”

Yang Yin didn’t quite understand what he was talking about, but still felt quite excited without really knowing why.

After showing his presentation, Shen Zemu and Yang Yin discussed some more details. Yang Yin asked with her chin resting on her palm: “You know how to write programs too?”

“C is a required course for my major.”

“You’re really something, Mr. Straight A student.” Yang Yin cupped her hands to show her admiration and smiled.

Shen Zemu looked at her with a slightly tilted head. His eyes were calm. After a while, he said: “The perfume suits you well.”

Yang Yin suppressed the ripples in her heart and laughed: “Really? The brand is pretty good. I’ll buy you a bottle of cologne later.”

Shen Zemu didn’t say yes or no.

When they walked out of the meeting room, Yang Yin looked at the time and discovered that they had spoken for over three hours. It was almost time for lunch already.

All the players had already done their training assigned by Coach Yang for the morning and were all waiting for their lunch. Since they didn’t have anything better to do, they all stretched their necks to observe the handsome man who had come out from nowhere.

Yang Yin gave them a fierce glare and said: “What are you all looking at? If you keep staring, I’ll turn all of you into models.”

That sounded a bit terrifying. The players stopped looking at Shen Zemu.

You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 128 Part 3

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 128 Part 3 

When Dubhe opened his mouth again, he sounded like he was gritting his teeth: “You guys always say that I’m over confident about myself, don’t work with the team, and don’t value my teammates. Well how much better is he? All he thought about in the arena was how to show off his skills, how to defeat his nemesis. You guys flattered his skill at playing Ashe, then he went ahead and took Ashe in an attempt to walk out of Pope’s shadow…… When he was doing that, did he think about all of you? Had he thought about the possibility that you all might lose the match because of his choice?”

“......”

“Then what happened?” Dubhe slightly raised his voice: “Did any of you even say a single sentence blaming him? !”

His words were buzzing next to Tong Yao’s ear.

She dumbfoundedly looked at Dubhe-- --Her lips slightly parted and for a short moment, her brain went blank. She didn’t know how to respond to him.

For a short instance, Dubhe’s eyes brightened up, but very quickly dimmed down. He cast his eyes downwards and quickly glanced, with dubious intention, over the lips of the person who he had pushed onto the couch……

Dubhe gave a short mirthless laugh while lowering his body even more and said with a sarcastic and flirtatious tone of voice: “I’m probably not the only one who doesn’t value his teammates?”

At that moment the two of them were very close to each other.

Tong Yao was once again surrounded by the unfamiliar body scent and it made her hair stand on end. Alarmed-- --The knuckles of her fingers which were holding the bandage had started to turn white from exerting too much force……

“His hand injury is so serious, he’ll only last one or two more seasons at most.” Dubhe briefly chuckled: “By that time, only I can take his place. I don’t know what you idiots are adamant about. I only know that if I can have the opportunity and have you as my teammate, I’ll prove that I can do much better than him-- --”

As he was talking, the warmth of his breath almost hit the tip of Tong Yao’s nose.

Tong Yao was silent for three seconds.

Unexpected to Dubhe, suddenly, Tong Yao spoke in a unusually cool voice-- --

“We’ll see after you’ve made it to the starting lineup.”

Dubhe was slightly taken aback.

The next second, he could feel the person he was pinning down pushing herself upwards. Then an elbow forcefully thrusted against his tummy to push him away. Tong Yao jumped up from the couch. As she was walking away, she gave Dubhe a glare and stamped heavily on his foot.

Dubhe stepped back from the pain. Tong Yao then saw behind him across the hallway the door to Lu Sicheng’s room was open. He had changed to a t-shirt and shorts. He was wearing his slippers leaning against the door frame with arms crossed in front of him. He was gloomily looking at Tong Yao’s direction with a stone face.

His eyes met with Tong Yao’s.

But he hadn’t said or done anything.

[What’s the use of loving care?]

[A brat like him won’t learn until he suffers some defeat himself……]

[Before he figures it out himself, nothing you say will work.] 

Tong Yao took a deep breath before walking towards Lu Sicheng. She walked along the hallway to stand in front of the man-- --Neither of them said anything at first. Tong Yao looked up to face those dark brown pupils.

Lu Sicheng lifted up the corners of his lips, showing his white teeth.

Tong Yao was intimidated by the dangerous looks in his eyes and stepped back a little. As she was stepping back, Lu Sicheng suddenly reached out to grab her and dragged her into his arms. Then he gloomily glanced at the training area across from his room before slamming the door shut. The door closed with a loud bang!

The bang was so loud that even the windows on the first floor shook.

The data analyst and the coach who were reviewing game videos at the first floor were stunned by the sound. They raised their heads to look at each other in confusion. Then they turned to take a look at the second floor. They wondered: What happened now? Are they taking down the house?

Those Sweet Times - Chapter 94 Part 2

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



Those Sweet Times
Chapter 94 Part 2
Extra: Shen Zemu and Yang Yin

The next day, Yang Yin wore a skirt and high heels and put on makeup and perfume. The players were shocked to see her like this. Though Coach Yang wasn’t much older than them, she was rather strict and ruthless. She relentlessly trained them everyday and when they didn’t do well, she would give them a bad scolding and called them all kinds of names…… Overall, they admitted that Coach Yang was a nice person, but…...they simply couldn’t understand seeing her in a skirt, wearing perfume.

But on the other hand, Coach Yang looked quite nice this way……

Shen Zemu was going to come in the afternoon, but Deng Wenbo showed up in the morning to check on the team. He was surprised to see Yang Yin dressed up as well.

Yang Yin was wearing a white sports shirt and a short light blue jean skirt, with white high heel sandals. As she was sitting on a chair, her exposed calves seemed especially lean and straight, the skin was so fair that it almost shone.

She was sitting there talking things over with the players. Deng Wenbo waited outside the room so as not to disturb them until Yang Yin came out of the room.

“Boss, what’s up?” Yang Yin asked.

“It’s nothing, I just came to take a look.”

“Oh.”

Yang Yin was wearing a collarless shirt with an open neckline. Deng Wenbo took a glance at her levelled and delicate collar bones. He wanted to look even further down…...but couldn’t see anything.

Yang Yin was flipping through a notebook and didn’t notice where his eyes had landed.

Deng Wenbo sniffed and asked: “You’ve put on some perfume?”

“En.”  

The scent of the perfume was quite light, only faintly discernible. Deng Wenbo sniffed harder several times then said: “It smells quite nice.” It was light and refreshing, somewhat like the smell of the meadow after the rain, or a bamboo forest.

“You have good taste, boss.” Yang Yin said.

“What brand is it? I can buy some as gifts.”

Yang Yin told him the name of the brand. Deng Wenbo also asked about the price. After hearing the price, he shook his head: “No way, it’s too cheap. I can’t give that as a gift.”

“Boss, don’t say that in front of a poor person.” After saying so, Yang Yin went into her office without paying any more attention to Deng Wenbo.

Her office was adjacent to the training room, with glass partitions in between. Yang Yin could see everything in the training room, but she mostly monitored the players’ training on her computer.

Deng Wenbo followed her into her office. Yang Yin wasn’t sure what he was up to but didn’t bother to ask.

Deng Wenbo asked: “Why did you dress up today? Is it because I’m coming?”

Yang Yin had to stop herself from rolling her eyes. She handed over a small mirror on her desk to Deng Wenbo: “Boss, you probably need this.”

Deng Wenbo didn’t get offended and asked again with his hand supporting his chin: “Have you applied double eyelid tape today?”

Yang Yin couldn’t help touching her eyes and asked: “Is it that obvious?”

“Not necessary. It’s probably that I’ve seen it too often so I can tell right away. But,” he paused before continuing: “I feel that you don’t have to do this. Your single eyelids have quite a special appeal.”

“Oh, right. Otherwise, you wouldn’t flirt with me the first time you saw me.”

“That was just a misunderstanding. I was misled by the rumors online. Why are you so petty? Besides, didn’t you break my bone? What did I say about that?”


“What did you say? You told the whole world that I’m a violent freak.”

“That was all in the past. Haven’t we defused all the bad feelings with a smile after we met again? Alright, I’ll buy you dinner as my apology, will that be alright?”

Yang Yin was amused. She sat with legs crossed and looked at Deng Wenbo with a faint smile: “Boss, let me remind you one thing.”

Deng Wenbo asked: “What thing?”

“With your fortune, you can have any pretty girl as your date. But, if you scare me off-- --Let me say it this way. No one can save your team except me. You’ll have to wait for Dw to become your dark history forever.”

“Look at you, what are you thinking.” Deng Wenbo straightened up and shook his head: “It’s not cute at all this way.”

“Boss, I won’t see you off.” Yang Yin waved her hand at him as she returned her attention to her computer.

You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 128 Part 2

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 128 Part 2

Since Dubhe had ignored Tong Yao earlier downstairs, Tong Yao felt a bit uneasy and didn’t know what to say to him. She only asked: “You haven’t gone out with them to eat?” Then she turned around to search for the bandage-- -- She searched from the bottom shelf of the cabinet all the way to the top one. Looking at the top shelf, Tong Yao couldn’t help but roll her eyes: It was quite handy for a person who was as tall as Lu Sicheng to place the item on that shelf.

Tong Yao had no choice but to stand on her tippy toes and stretch out her arm long to search inch-by-inch for the bandage like a blind person-- -- After searching for a while, nothing had felt like a bandage yet. Then she could sense that someone was coming closer to her. The person stood behind her; an unfamiliar body scent surrounded her for a short moment before pulling away. Dubhe, without any expression on his face, took off a roll of bandages from the top shelf to put on a shelf in the middle where Tong Yao could reach.

Then he backed away.

Tong Yao: “......”

She thought: Nowadays, kids are fed well and can grow this tall by the time they’re only 16 or 17 years old.

Tong Yao’s lips twitched a little, then said thanks in a small voice rather embarrassingly. She picked up the bandages and turned around ready to quickly leave as she felt the atmosphere there was rather depressing-- --Just as she started to walk out, Dubhe grabbed her elbow. The young man’s fingers were long and lean, but still powerful.

Taken by surprise, Tong Yao turned her head.

When their eyes met, Dubhe finally looked like he was a little uneasy. He slightly relaxed his hold on Tong Yao’s arm, but didn’t let go-- -- It was like he was afraid that Tong Yao would run away if he let go.

“That day at the Demacia Cup,” Dubhe suddenly started to talk: “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to push you.”

“......”

The apology came rather abruptly. Tong Yao didn’t know how to respond. She pulled her arm a bit but was unable to free her arm. The corners of her eyes twitched, but she tried to speak in a mild manner: “It’s alright; I was a little hastily myself at the time…… Making contact with other clubs during the no-transfer window could be punished by getting banned. I was afraid that you would make the wrong decision. This year our B team is very likely to move up to the major league. I don’t know for sure whether you were talking to other clubs at that time-- --In any case, don’t act upon your impulses and make rash decisions……”

Tong Yao felt like a lobbyist after talking so much.

Even she noticed how unnatural her tone of voice was.

Finally, she stopped talking hopelessly. To her surprise, Dubhe laughed: “I was talking about transferring in the next season with the manager of Team HF.”

Tong Yao was taken aback.

“But I just turned him down, because I suddenly felt that there isn’t any need to transfer now.” Dubhe said indifferently while pulling his arm in a bit, dragging Tong Yao closer to him. Then he changed the subject abruptly: “You know, I watched your game with YQCB today. With Pope picking Sivir first, if Lu Sicheng didn’t so confidently choose Ashe, you guys might not have lost the first round.”

Tong Yao knew about that.

She certainly knew that Lu Sicheng’s pick wasn’t a very good choice.

However, the fundamental reason for their loss in the first round was because the whole team wasn’t in the right state of mind. Which champion Lu Sicheng had taken or whether that champion could be overpowered weren’t the main reason for the defeat. They had crashed their chance to win since the beginning of that match……

“It’s true that it’s hard for Ashe to counter Sivir. Cheng Ge isn’t a perfect person, but the main reason we lost the first match was-- --”

“Did any of you object to his choices?”

“We……”

Dubhe didn’t give Tong Yao the chance to finish her words. He pushed her and Tong Yao staggered, falling onto the couch. Then the light in front of her eyes were blocked; Dubhe pressed his hand on top of Tong Yao’s shoulder while bending over to get closer to her-- --

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 128 Part 1

Tong Yao was averse to being put in the same category as Lu Yue in such a simple and crude way.

She grabbed the tail of Lu Sicheng’s shirt and quite seriously asked: “Tell me, what have I done to annoy you?”

She thought Lu Sicheng would at least hesitate for a moment or two before answering.  But he immediately responded: “Have you ever seen a mid who comes to bot and grabs a wave of minion lane as a toll for passing by?”

…………………….It looked like the grievance had been piling up for quite some time.

Tong Yao: “I create the opportunity for you to kill your opponent. One kill is worth 300 gold, one minion only amounts to 15 and 45 for a siege minion. So what if I collect a fee, you won’t let me drink some soup while you have all the meat?”

Lu Sicheng: “You don’t have soup at mid?”

Tong Yao: “I don’t want it, I just want to drink yours.”

Lu Sicheng: “See, you even feel justified at taking my minions. Besides, I can’t even complain about it or go AFK. Tell me whether it’s annoying or not?”

Tong Yao: “So you aren’t happy about it?”

Lu Sicheng: “......”

Tong Yao fixed her piercing eyes on him and asked again: “You aren’t happy about it?”

Lu Sicheng: “I’m happy, happy. Shut up.”

As he was talking, his hand which had been gently rubbing the back of Tong Yao’s head offhandedly pushed on her head…… Tong Yao pushed his hand away and looked up. She saw all their teammates nearby were looking like they had enough of their PDA. Old K touched his chin: “I suddenly realize that the reason you had kept your affair a secret before was actually to protect our eyes and ears, so we can all live for a few more years. How thoughtful, is it too late to say thanks?”

Lu Sicheng gave him a glance, then looked back at Tong Yao: “I’m going back to my room to rub on the tincture. Bring the bandage over later.”

Before Tong Yao could answer, Xiao Rui said next to them: “I’ll be waiting outside the room. I’ll start knocking on the door after 20 minutes.”

Tong Yao thought about his words for a moment before realizing what he meant. Her face started blushing.

Lu Sicheng on the other hand looked disdainful and sneered: “20 minutes, who are you looking down on?”

Tong Yao: “......”

……

Lu Sicheng would usually take a shower after he went back to his room. Tong Yao wasn’t in a hurry. She tidied up her own desk, then opened the LoL client to readjust the settings back to what she used to have-- -- It was half an hour later when she stood up from her computer. Old K, Old Cat, and Little Fatty had brought the kids of the B team out to eat. Tong Yao figured that Lu Sicheng probably wouldn’t want to go out to eat when his hand wasn’t feeling well. So she turned down to go out with the others and just said she would order take out with their captain later.

Most of the people at base had gone out, only a few staff members and Ming god together with the coach, who were sitting on the couch to review the matches, were left at base. The base suddenly became quiet.

Before going upstairs, Tong Yao sent a WeChat message to Lu Sicheng to ask whether he had finished his shower and put his clothes on. Her captain sent a reply: “......”

His reply seemed to imply that to be able to see him naked was a rather lucky thing for her.

Tong Yao sent back a meme with rolling eyes, then she put her cell phone away and went back to her room.

She searched in her room but couldn’t find the bandages. Then she remembered that the other day when Lu Sicheng was complaining that his hand hurt, she had already taken the bandage out and Lu Sicheng had put it inside the cabinet in the training area on the second floor after he was done with it…… Tong Yao opened her door to go to the training area across from her room. When she got near, she noticed that not all the B team players had gone out with Little Fatty and the others. Dubhe was sitting in front of his computer by himself. He was using the computer he had just set up to practice farming.

Tong Yao: “......”

You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 127 Part 2

Tong Yao felt awkward.

She felt the person behind her was overly quiet, so she turned around to glance at Dubhe-- --Her eyes happened to meet his.

Surprised, Dubhe turned his face away.

-- --Ever since the ‘chance encounter’ in front of the bathroom during the Demacia Cup, Dubhe had been avoiding Tong Yao. He was always a man of few words and had become even quieter than usual.

Tong Yao hesitated for a moment: “......Little Dubhe, do you have anything here you want me to help you bring upstairs?”

Dubhe didn’t reply and only indifferently gave Tong Yao a look. Then he stood up to unplug his mouse and keyboard, grabbed his own mug, and went back upstairs without even looking back……

Tong Yao was taken aback, then awkwardly squatted down to plug all of Lu Sicheng’s equipment to the computer.

-- --Lu Sicheng had taken in all that happened between Dubhe and Tong Yao. The expressionless face became colder. When Duhbe passed by him, Lu Sicheng used a voice Duhbe could hear and coldly said: “Little brat, no respect to his seniors while still wet behind the ears.”

Dubhe’s back stiffened a bit as he went up the stairs.

“Big talk after losing the match. Your Ashe got smashed by Pope, lol.”

His voice wasn’t loud but Lu Sicheng could hear him just fine.

Lu Sicheng’s eyes went dark a bit.

Tong Yao sensed the unfriendliness and was in a hurry to get out from under the desk in order to stop her captain from irritating the chuunibyou kid. She was too rash as she tried to get up and bumped the back of head onto the bottom of the desk, making a loud thud-- --

Everyone at the base all shuddered from the sound.

Tong Yao screeched and squatted back down with her hand over her head. Little Fatty even closed his eyes and also rubbed his own head as if he had been the one to hit his head…… Lu Sicheng couldn’t sit still anymore and hurried over to pull Tong Yao out from under the desk. He put her on the chair: “Are you retarded? How can you bump into the desk? Where does it hurt? Take your hand off and let me see it.”

“I’m alright. Hrm, don’t rebuke Dubhe all the time. That kid only responds to softer approaches……”

Lu Sicheng ignored her. He easily brushed Tong Yao’s hand away and started to rub the back of her head for her.

Tong Yao grabbed his hand: “Did you hear me?”

Lu Sicheng said in a low voice: “I heard.”

He sounded somewhat impatient.

Tong Yao: “Loving care, I’ve said so many times-- --You provoke him then ask me to help you take care of the mess. This time, I won’t do it.”

As she was nagging, Tong Yao patted Lu Sicheng’s big hand to tell him to be gentler as he rubbed her head. She heard Lu Sicheng say: “What’s the use of loving care. He hasn’t apologized to you for that incident during the Demacia Cup, right? A brat like him won’t learn until he suffers some defeats himself. Did you hear what he said about me?”

“I heard it.”

“Then why don’t you comfort me?”

“..............................Sivir prevails over Ashe.”

The big hand paused on her head, his voice sounded kind of dangerous: “So you also feel that I got smashed by Li Junhe?”

The tone of voice sounded that if Tong Yao had the courage to say yes, then she would be single again from that moment on…… Tong Yao was speechless and amused at the same time. She lifted her hand to pat Lu Sicheng’s chest: “I’m not blind. Be more open minded. Don’t act like a kid.”

Lu Sicheng: “En.” Then the big hand started moving again on Tong Yao’s head: “Before he figures it out himself, nothing you say will work.”

Tong Yao looked up: “Hrm?”


Lu Sicheng: “Just like Lu Yue last year.”

Lu Yue who was being mentioned for no reason: “What?”

Lu Sicheng: “Teenagers are the most annoying.”

Everyone: “......”

He had taunted more than half the people at the base, including his own dumbfounded girlfriend.

Those Sweet Times - Chapter 94 Part 1

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



Those Sweet Times
Chapter 94 Part 1
Extra: Shen Zemu and Yang Yin

Ever since Yang Yin registered for taking the self-taught exam, her daily routine went like this:

She would get up at 7 o’clock in the morning. After washing up and eating breakfast, she would study English for a while in her own room. Then she would ride her bicycle to go to class at the adult education school two kilometers away. The classes would finish by 9 o’clock. After she was back at base, she would act as if nothing had happened and study some more in her room while waiting for her players to get up and finish breakfast.

From 10 am till 10 pm, it was filled with activities for the players; they would either do self training or have skirmishes against other teams. Though Dw had been downgraded, it used to be one of the major teams. It was still a better choice than a normal junior league team, as such they could still invite some good teams to play skirmish with.

The daily schedule for most of the professional teams would start much later than Yang Yin’s team. Some teams would still be active into the early morning hours. The team would be made of night owls, who wouldn’t go to bed at night and wouldn’t get up in the morning. Yang Yin was against this kind of schedule. As such, Dw’s daily schedule seemed out of tune with all those night owls; theirs were more like a schedule for grade school kids.

After the training at night, around 10 pm, the team still wasn’t done. Yang Yin would lead the players for a 40 minute run, circling around the neighborhood. After running, the day was then over for the players, they were dismissed and could go to bed.

This kind of daily life reminded some of the players of their miserable lives back in their middle or high schools and it was a little hard for them to take.

Yang Yin asked Deng Wenbo to raise the pay for the players and offered rewards for players who had completed their training routines. They could go out twice a month to places like karaoke clubs or bars. These fringe benefits made players feel better. 

Yang Yin would do all these activities with the players. She would lead by example; she always got up earlier than the players, she would run in front of the team during the night runs. If it rained, the night run would be cancelled but none of the players wished for it to rain, because then their physical training would be running up and down the stairs at base. It was even more exhausting than running outside.

There was one time Deng Wenbo drove by the neighborhood of the base. He parked the car at the side of the road and happened to see the team doing their night run. Behind Yang Yin were the team’s players. She was wearing a sports suit and in comparison to the boys following her, she seemed quite slender as if she could be blown away by a light breeze. When they got closer, Deng Wenbo, with the help of the street lights, could see sweat all over her face and part of her fuchsia colored top was soaked.

She looked like a rose covered by rain drops.

When they got even closer, Deng Wenbo rolled down the car window to look towards the outside with his chin slightly tilted up, waiting for them to greet their boss. 

All of them fixed their eyes forward and ran by Deng Wenbo at a steady pace. The footsteps sounded quite in unison. 

Deng Wenbo touched his nose, quietly rolled the window back up, and pretended that nothing had happened.

He stayed in the car to chat with a few of his lady friends on WeChat. He seemed troubled by not knowing which lady friend he should go out with tonight. Then he drove the car into the residential community and parked the car in front of the base.

All the players were exhausted after the run and had gone to bed after showering. All of their rooms were dark.

Only Yang Yin’s room still had the lights on.

Deng Wenbo imagined that Yang Yin was working hard in front of the computer. He was somewhat moved. This woman, though she wouldn’t even bother to try flattering him, was really dedicated. She was much better than those people who concealed the true state of affairs and always tried to trick their boss.

Deng Wenbo sent a message to Yang Yin: You don’t have to work so hard. I won’t eat you if the team can’t really get back up.

Yang Yin’s reply came quickly: Boss, I’m not working now.

Deng Wenbo: Then what are you doing now?

Yang Yin: I’m studying Mao Zedong Thought.

Deng Wenbo: ……

……

<Mao Zedong Thought> is a required subject in colleges and for the self-taught exam. Yang Yin wasn’t lying, she was really studying the subject. Most of the subjects for the exam were quite difficult for her, even the general requirements such as English and math were especially hard in her eyes, not to mention that the specialized courses were like Greek to her. In comparison, Mao Zedong Thought was much easier for her to study.

After studying for a while, Yang Yin received a message from Shen Zemu.

Shen Zemu: Do you have time tomorrow?

Yang Yin: Yes, what’s up?

Shen Zemu: I’ll go over to your place.

Yang Yin: Oh.

You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 127 Part 1

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 127 Part 1

Tong Yao and her teammates took the next day off after they went back to the base. No one streamed that day. Even Little Fatty and Old Cat, who routinely streamed several hours every day, didn’t get on-- --It wasn’t because they were trying to avoid the storm they knew would be coming at them; it was Xiao Rui who wouldn’t let them stream.

“There must be a lot of people online waiting for the chance to troll you now. Let’s not fall into the trap.” Xiao Rui: “Wait a couple of days till other teams have their matches and those people have new targets, then you guys can stream.”

Taking advantage of this short break, A team and B team switched their training areas. Tong Yao and her teammates moved back to the first floor-- --There weren’t a lot of things to move: mouse, keyboard, a cup, and some other random items…… While everyone was busy moving things, Lu Sicheng sat on the couch with folded arms watching, with knit eyebrows like a master, Tong Yao running up and down the stairs with a box……

Little Fatty carried a box full of his snacks down the stairs. When he passed Lu Sicheng, he gave him a look and sarcastically said: “Cheng Ge, what are you doing here? Letting Tong Yao do the work for you while you space out here. Where’s your manners as a man……”

“Little Fatty, don’t provoke him. I told him to sit there and not move. His hand hurts.” Tong Yao stretched her head from the railing on the second floor: “Lu Sicheng, don’t you move. If you dare move just one muscle, you can’t touch me today.”

Little Fatty: “......”

Lu Sicheng exchanged a look with the dumbfounded Little Fatty. Lu Sicheng lifted his chin and had a speechless expression on his face, as if to say: See that?

Tong Yao’s voice was loud enough for everyone at base to hear. Lu Yue sneered and took a bottle of tincture and stuffed it into his brother’s hand. Then he looked up to ask: “Don’t touch you? What kind of touching are you talking about?”

It was quiet upstairs for 3 seconds.

On the fourth second, Tong Yao threw one of her slippers downstairs as her answer.

The slipper was light and Lu Yue caught it in the air. He looked down at the child size slipper and was about to stuff it into Lu Sicheng’s hand as well. From the corner of his eye, he noticed the slightly reddish skin on his brother’s wrist…… He was taken aback, then stopped joking around: “Your hand’s inflamed again?”

As a player who played a carry position, Lu Yue sometimes would have relapses of tenosynovitis himself when training was too intensive. It’s a common condition many players who played carry positions have…… Besides, Lu Sicheng was the one who trained the most among all these players. Every morning after he got up, he would either get on a ranked game or do one and a half hours of farming training. It was almost like his daily routine……

Lu Yue certainly knew how much a burden a 65 minutes long match was to Lu Sicheng’s hand-- -- Once the play time went over a reasonable amount of time, the pain multiplied from the damage done from overusing their wrist. That was the reason why towards the end of the last match, even a person like Lu Sicheng would subconsciously shake his wrist.

Because it hurt really badly.

“It’s fine. Tomorrow I’ll have the therapist to work on it then it’ll be alright.”

Lu Yue heard his brother’s low voice, it sounded like the pain wasn’t bothering him much. Lu Yue looked up at his brother and saw a calm face. Then Lu Sicheng used an even lower voice to say: “Don’t make a fuss about this. Don’t let the one upstairs see it, otherwise……”

Lu Sicheng didn’t finish his sentence.

Because Tong Yao came down with the last box full of things right then. She happened to see Lu Sicheng purse his lips and stopped talking…… After putting down the box, she glanced over at the bottle of tincture set on the table. She paused before asking: “You have tincture? I’ll rub some on your wrist in a bit?”

“I’ll do it myself. You’re too clumsy.” Lu Sicheng moved his hand a bit, turning the slightly reddish side away from where Tong Yao could see. He indifferently asked: “Where’s the bandages?”

“In my room, I’ll get it in a bit.”

Tong Yao didn’t suspect anything. As she was replying, she picked up the box again and hurried over to put things back to where they used to be-- -- This last box was all Lu Sicheng’s belongings. He even brought his Lucky Cat piggy bank with him to the second floor. Tong Yao took the heavy piggy bank out of the box, shook it, then stuck her fingers into it to pull out two cigarettes from inside and broke them in half to throw into the trash. She then put the piggy bank back to its original position.

She finished doing all these quite naturally, like they were her belongings.

Dubhe sat on Lu Sicheng’s chair during all this time coldly watching, without a sound. He only leaned back a little when Tong Yao was putting Lu Sicheng’s stuff back on his desk…… After Tong Yao had set everything back down on the desk, there were Dubhe’s mug, keyboard, and mouse still on the desk. She couldn’t connect Lu Sicheng’s mouse and keyboard onto the computer if Dubhe didn’t remove his……

Those Sweet Times - Chapter 93 Part 2

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



Those Sweet Times
Chapter 93 Part 2
Extra: Shen Zemu and Yang Yin

After watching all the videos, Yang Yin closed the video player, stretched, and drank some water.

Then, she opened a web browser and entered the search page, and searched the key words: self-taught higher education examination, degrees.

-- --

The next day, Yang Yin went out during her lunch break to an educational institution.

She met a teacher, Kuang Chaosheng, who was responsible for admission. She had made an appointment with him online earlier.

Kuang Chaosheng was about 30 years old. He was dressed rather formally and was wearing a pair of thin framed glasses. He went over Yang Yin’s application and dubiously asked: “Those who register with us to take the self-taught exam for degrees-- --Especially for young women, most of them study Economics or Management, since it’s relatively easier to get those degrees. I can’t quite understand why you chose to study Automation? This is a hard subject.”

Yang Yin replied: “I feel that Automation sounds more fancy.”

The answer made Kuang Chaosheng speechless. He put the application aside and said: “My suggestion to you is to make your choice more cautiously.”

“Thanks, Mr. Kuang. I’ve made up my mind. I can register now.”

Kuang Chaosheng couldn’t refuse and helped her complete the registration process. Then he recommended a one on one teacher to her based on Yang Yin’s schedule. Yang Yin only had 8 to 9 o’clock in the morning available for classes. Kuang Chaosheng was curious about what Yang Yin was doing for a living. The occupation box on the registration form was left blank.

“What do you do for a living?” Kuang Chaosheng asked.

“I’m a video game coach.”

Kuang Chaosheng was surprised to hear it. It wasn’t a popular profession and he couldn’t tell from her appearance.

Kuang Chaosheng had Yang Yin add her teacher’s WeChat. The degree from the self-taught exam was the most valuable one among all the adult education programs. To get a college equivalent degree, she would have to pass over a dozen exams. After getting that degree, she would then be eligible to take exams for an undergraduate degree. Then after that she would be able to take the exam to get into a full-time graduate school, like the one Shen Zemu was going to.

It was an arduous path to go through all those exams, especially for the subject Yang Yin had chosen. Kuang Chaosheng didn’t think the pale and skinny woman in front of him would be able to stick to the end.

“Why don’t you give it more thought?” Kuang Chaosheng said: “I can still change it for you if you want to change to another subject.”

“No need to change.”

“Your foundation isn’t very good. You haven’t even finished 10th grade.”

Yang Yin said: “Though I didn’t finish 10th grade, my math grade for the high school entrance exam was 100% and I got the highest total score in my class.”

Kuang Chaosheng was taken aback. He wasn’t sure whether this girl was boasting or not. He asked: “Then, why did you leave school?”

“I went to play video games.”

Kuang Chaosheng figured that this game addicted young lady was now returning back onto the right path.

Since Yang Yin had made up her mind, Kuang Chaosheng gave up on trying to persuade her.

Yang Yin efficiently took care of her registration and went back to the club without anyone noticing. On her way back, her teacher sent her a WeChat message, telling her that the materials available for this kind of exam weren’t very useful. The teacher told Yang Yin to go to Nanshan University to get a whole set of their undergraduate textbooks.

Yang Yin asked Xiang Nuan to get those books for her and made sure that Xiang Nuan wouldn’t let anyone else know about it. Xiang Nuan went to the second hand bookstore to get a whole set of second hand books for her. In addition, Xiang Nuan even ordered a whole set of “Notes from a straight A student” online. These notes had been taken by Shen Zemu, but Waiwai was the one who was selling them online. Xiang Nuan was afraid of exposing herself and even used an alternate name when she bought them.

What Yang Yin got was the scanned version of the notes. She printed all of them out after she received them. Looking at Shen Zemu’s vigorous and slender handwriting somehow warmed Yang Ying’s heart.

She shut herself in her room and happily stared at the notes for quite a while.

Then her head cleared up: Oh, my, I don’t understand a single word of it!

You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 126 Part 3

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 126 Part 3

Lu Sicheng sat down next to Tong Yao. Tong Yao was looking at Weibo at the time. Lu Sicheng glanced over: “Have you uninstalled Tieba?”

Tong Yao: “No.”

Lu Sicheng: “Don’t look.”

Tong Yao: “I didn’t.”

Lu Sicheng: “Don’t look at Weibo either.”

Tong Yao: “There isn’t anything on Weibo, except some people said that I’m Tong Daji who has mesmerized her captain and was shamefully wrestling with him on stage after losing the game. ZGDX is finished.”

Lu Sicheng: “Hrm, that’s nothing? That’s why I told you not to look at Weibo. Just look at me.”

“What’s there to look?”

Tong Yao ignored him. Lu Sicheng reached over to grab her cell phone. She hissed and turned to the side to avoid his arm. She happened to see a new post on Weibo-- --

[ZGDX, ah, my life: I’m a Korean language major-- --YQCB’s translator obviously didn’t completely translate Li Junhe’s words when he was evaluating our Smiling. The last part he added went something like this: She’s a very diligent young lady. She looks cute too. Even the upset look when she lost the game was quite impressive. A square and boring person like Lu Sicheng must be extremely lucky in finding such a nice girlfriend. You all shouldn’t keep thinking of her as a social climber. That’s absolutely not true. The person who feels gratified should be Lu Sicheng.

………………………..Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, Li Junhe, hahahahaah! This frank and trouble-making boy; if Cheng Ge sees this, he’ll probably be so pissed off. Yet, there seems nothing wrong with the description of square and boring.]

Tong Yao lifted her cell phone and read out loud what Pope had said in the end.

Then she turned to look at Lu Sicheng. It was written in her eyes: No wonder you had to drag me off in the middle of the interview.

Lu Sicheng grabbed her cell phone away with a black face.

Lu Sicheng felt his throat tighten under Tong Yao’s stare. He reached over to squeeze her chin and shook it: “The fact that the translator didn’t translate that part means it wasn’t appropriate.”

“Which part isn’t appropriate?”

“It’s not the fact.”

“Which section? That you’re extremely lucky?”

“All of it.”

Lu Sicheng responded tersely and reached over to pull the hood of his jacket, which was on Tong Yao now, over Tong Yao’s head to block her glittering eyes. As she was struggling, he pulled her into his arms to secure her. His long arm patted her bottom: “Don’t move.”

Tong Yao reached to pull the hood off her, messing up her hair.

Lu Sicheng took a look at her, though she was a bit flustered now, she was much more alive than the person who sat in front of the computer spacing out earlier…… He felt somewhat relieved and lowered his head to land a kiss on her lips.

Tong Yao pushed his head away and backed away to avoid him. She insisted: “You’re the social climber.”

“Right, right, right, I’m extremely lucky to climb up to you. Can you keep your mouth shut now?” Lu Sicheng’s big hand pushed her head against his chest.

“......But it sounds like you said it rather reluctantly.”

“I’m not.”

“......”

“Don’t move.” Lu Sicheng said half seriously half jokingly: “I almost can’t hold you, my hand hurts.”

It was like an immobile spell, Tong Yao, who was wriggling in his arms, instantly quieted down. She said: “Why didn’t you say so earlier, I forgot.” Then she became incredibly still, afraid to even breathe too deeply, as if her captain would be disabled if she made any movement.

Finally Lu Sicheng could keep her in his arms and felt satisfied.

It was very quiet on the bus on their way back to the base.

Everyone was mulling over their own thoughts.
