You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 138 Part 2

Tong Yao listed a series of things to show that Lu Sicheng was always busy. She listed it all in a tiny voice and didn’t know whether Lu Sicheng would accept her excuse or not. Fortunately, Lu Sicheng didn’t keep the subject going. Instead, he asked where she kept the first aid kit, all the while refusing to let go of her hand. Tong Yao pointed in its direction and he led her as he went to retrieve it. Then he led her back to the bed again and both of them sat down on the bed.

Lu Sicheng quietly and carefully removed the bandage from Tong Yao’s hand. The cut had started turning white from being soaked in water. Tong Yao turned her face away, not willing to look at it-- --She quietly frowned and gritted her teeth from the pain when Lu Sicheng disinfected the wound for her.

“Relax your teeth.”

“?” Tong Yao was a little surprised to hear him speak and turned to look at him baffled.

“It hurts the same, why would you cry so hard just now?” Lu Sicheng flatly said while holding her wrist: “How come you’ve become the tough Tong Yao again when you’re in front of me?”

“......” Tong Yao ground her teeth and was irritated by his questioning. She wasn’t sure whether he was ridiculing or teasing her. Her eyes turned red again and she got a little carried away: “I’ve cried enough, so? Are you here specifically to watch me cry? You haven’t even talked to me very much in the past few days. I don’t even know whether you care for me or not at all. Now you’ve heard me cry and hurried over. Are you here to watch a show? Have you paid for the ticket-- --”

“I came over specifically because I’m worried about you.”

Tong Yao’s voice halted in the middle of the sentence.

“If you don’t want me to come over, then you better not cry or you’ll simply have to make me deaf.” Lu Sicheng was still looking downwards: “Bandage.”

Tong Yao handed over the bandage, a bit confused.

She watched him take the bandage and his nimble fingers wound the bandage around her finger…… It was very quiet in the room. Tong Yao could even hear the rustling sound as the bandage turned around. She fixed her eyes on Lu Sicheng’s neat and lean fingers and lost in her own thoughts-- --

Was there any shortcomings in this person, Lu Sicheng? There were quite a few. He was arrogant, egotistical, and mean mouthed. He habituary put on a stone face and had numerous ways to trick others. When he was in a good mood, he would poke fun at his teammates. When he was in a bad mood, he was someone who everyone tried to avoid. Sometimes he could be very sloppy, not shaving nor combing his hair for days as long as there was no upcoming competition or stream. He could sit there playing games in that messy state for a whole day. He actually had a lot of clothes, each one was quite expensive, yet he liked to borrow those big shirts from Little Fatty which he bought for 39.9 RMB from Taobao with free shipping. Sometimes he would forget to eat. Sometimes he would forget that he had already eaten and pick up chopsticks to eat another meal……

However, Lu Sicheng, even though he was like that privately, was the king of League of Legends in the China region. He was the god in the minds of those fans.

He played professionally for three years, from the Korean region to the China region, and never had anything bad said about him.

-- --What did Tong Yao do to him now?

She had accepted his arrogance, but criticized his egotism. She often circled around him to make him smile and enjoyed being tricked by him. When he was in a good mood, she would make sure he wouldn’t poke fun at his teammates too much. When he was in a bad mood, she would do everything she could to let him win the game even by sacrificing her own champion. She would make sure he shaved and combed his hair, and not fight with Little Fatty over Little Fatty’s clothes. She would make sure he would eat at the right time. When he was having too much to eat, she would take away his chopsticks……

She thought she was doing all this for his own good.

Yet, she didn't know what had gone wrong.

She really didn’t know what had gone wrong-- --

All of a sudden, all kinds of gossip and slander had appeared against him. They said he was the team bully, too full of himself. They laughed at him from being too arrogant before he even had the world championship and at his fans for acting like a cult. They questioned him for playing the game while carrying his own personal emotions, for not respecting the fans, and at his ability to make the right decisions when commanding the team during a game……

And it seemed that these accusations were all caused by certain things she had done, from the showgirl incident, Xu Tailun, the apology, to the threatening note.

In addition, because the way the team had adjusted their decision making process during their games, Lu Sicheng had to double his time reviewing the games they had played to train his own response time and analyzing ability……

-- --It was like, Tong Yao felt, that she alone had dragged Lu Sicheng off the altar.
