You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 146 Part 3 

CK’s players reacted quite calmly to losing the first round of the match. They knew ZGDX would be a tough opponent. Besides, the playoffs of the League of Legends professional league competition had always been best of 5 (* 3 wins out of 5 rounds). As such, they didn’t take losing the first round too seriously.

After the game, Jian Yang didn’t go to the break room but headed directly for the restroom reserved for players to wash his face-- --As he was washing his hands, his phone rang. He answered the phone and turned it on speaker phone as he always does. Then he put the phone on the counter and answered the call as he washed his face-- --When he was done washing his hands, he also finished the brief phone call. Jian Yang picked up his phone.

Right at that moment, the door of the last stall was opened from inside. There was no flushing sound. A man lazily walked out of the stall with a cigarette in his mouth which was almost burned out and was face to face with Jian Yang.

Lu Sicheng bit on the cigarette butt and slightly squinted his eyes.

Jian Yang: “......”

It was a familiar scene.

Jian Yang put the phone into his pocket, was quiet for a moment, then said with an awkward smile: “Cheng Ge.”

“En.” Lu Sicheng answered, threw the cigarette butt away, went over to the sink, and began carefully washing his hands with liquid soap. He looked up in the mirror to glance at Jian Yang who was looking at him blankly: “Got up too early this morning. Smoking to give myself a lift.”

His tone was rather gentle.

Jian Yang nodded and replied: “Yeah, there’s only one game each day. Don’t know why the organizer has to schedule it so early in the day.”

After he finished, they were looking at each other without anything to say again.

It was awkward.

It was damn awkward.

Jian Yang watched Lu Sicheng acting as if he was trying to cover up something. After washing his hands carefully, he lifted up his hands to smell whether there was any odor left. Then he turned to dry his hands under the hand dryer. He even bent over to put his head under the dryer-- --Jian Yang was speechless watching Lu Sicheng’s movements. Lu Sicheng even slightly tilted his body towards Jian Yang and asked: “Can you smell anything?”

Jian Yang: “......”

Lu Sicheng straightened up and started to look over the restroom for the air freshener. As he was looking around, he said: “I remembered that the last time I met you in the restroom was at the finals of the spring competition. You were on the phone back then too……”

Finally, he had found the air freshener at the back of the door. He walked over and spread it over himself a couple of times-- --He paused for a moment, then as if he was reminiscing about that encounter and said: “You were talking with my girl at the time, right? Hrm, I was wondering at the time who that tough talking girl was.”

Jian Yang: “......”

Lu Sicheng smiled: “I didn’t expect she would become our teammate.”

And she had become my girlfriend.

Lu Sicheng didn’t have the heart to say the second part of his thoughts. He was simply reminiscing an event.

Jian Yang: “En. At the time…… I just learned that she was going to play professionally and was very surprised. Actually we didn’t have much contact for quite some time after we broke up. I didn’t expect that she would come play professionally, so I called her to find out what was going on.”

Lu Scheng cast down his eyes: “En.” Then he laughed after thinking about something: “Oh, right, your first gank really scared her. Her scream almost made us throw our mouses away.”

Watching Lu Sicheng laugh, Jian Yang didn’t feel proud or anything like it for his success in the gank. Instead, he was feeling rather perturbed. Looking at Lu Sicheng’s face, Jian Yang’s brain probably short circuited and abruptly said: “Actually I never thought about breaking up with her at the time.”

“......” Lu Sicheng raised his eyes up to give him a glance and acted as if he wasn’t surprised to hear him say that-- --Without much reaction, he simply smiled: “Then I have to thank you for letting her go, otherwise how can I take advantage of the void.”

Jian Yang’s face stiffened; he looked like he really wanted to grab the air freshener from Lu Sicheng’s hand and spray it all over his smiling, calm face-- --Certainly, Jian Yang didn’t do that but instead smiled dryly: “Yeah, it’s over a long time ago…...Why are you doing all this with the hand washing and air freshener. I remember someone mentioned that you’ve quit smoking.”

“Half quit. I smoke much less at base anyway.” Lu Sicheng put the air freshener back: “It’s mainly because she has strict rules.”

Jian Yang: “......”
