You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 169 Part 3
After the audience was all seated and the players were on the stage, the match officially began with the ban & pick phase. The commentators started talking-- --
Commentator D: [Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the second round of the group match of the S6 international competition! Today, the first match will be between the LPL region and a wild card team-- --Uh, now that all players are in their seats. We can see that there’s a little change in the seatings of the LPL team…… Alright, they’ve begun the first round of banning. Team Bear, not surprisingly, has banned Leblanc…… Hey, guys, I don’t think that’s necessary. The one who knows how to use Leblanc is sitting in the support’s seat!]
Commentator F: [It’s worth noting that over at the LPL commentating area, they’ve invited a special guest commentator today…… Director, please give us a shot of him?]
Commentator D: [Let’s welcome our hero of the bygone days-- --WEIXIAO!]
The audience burst into laughter and cheers.
Commentator D: [We can imagine that Weixiao must be very excited about coming back to the international scene as a commentator-- --Especially as successors from his own region are sitting on the stage right now. One of them even has an id with the same meaning as “Weixiao,” a player who declared that she would take this id back to the international stage!]
Commentator F: [I don’t want to do commentary now. I want to go over and interview Weixiao about his thoughts at this very moment……]
Commentator D: [I don’t know what his thoughts are, but I sure know what Smiling is thinking-- --Hey! Girl! You’re playing a match! It should be counted as a foul for standing up suddenly!]
The commentator teased while laughing out loud. The director panned the camera to the players. The audience saw Tong Yao jump up from her seat when she saw her idol’s expressionless face on the big screen right after the first round of banning-- --
She widened her eyes and moved her head around to search for her idol. When she fixed her eyes on the LPL commentator area at the far away corner, her face was glowing!
She bounced up and passionately waved both of her hands in that direction!
With her headphones on, she couldn’t hear the roaring laughter of the audience…… However the audience could see through the players’ face cam that the other four ZGDX players were at first turning their heads, looking at Tong Yao in confusion, then they all spontaneously held their foreheads with their hands-- --
Their synchronized facepalming made the audience laugh even louder.
Finally, the audience saw the man sitting next to Tong Yao reached over to hold and push her back down to the chair-- --
Lu Sicheng: “You, sit down!”
Tong Yao was forced to sit back down.
Tong Yao brushed off the big hand on her shoulder: “Why so mean! It’s the first time I’ve seen Gao Xuecheng live! Why can’t you let me be thrilled for once! Put yourself in my shoes! Can you keep your cool when you see Liu Yifei[1] live!”
Lu Sicheng, with a stone face, made the final ban of the game, banning Braum, the champion the opposing support liked to use: “I don’t like Liu Yifei.”
Tong Yao grew irritated: “Bullshit! The wallpaper of your WeChat chats is Liu Yifei. I always thought it was me! I found it out when I took a sneak peak of it last time, I was so surprised! I was kind enough not to disclose it and you’re still pretending!”
Lu Sicheng: “......”
Lu Sicheng: “That can’t be true. Lu Yue must’ve changed it.”
Lu Yue: “Bullshit!”
Lu Yue: “Ge, have you forgotten that I’m here on the stage as well today? Do you always smear me like this?”
Lu Sicheng: “......”
At this point, the game had entered the pick phase. ZGDX was the blue side and had first pick-- --
Tong Yao slammed down on her mouse: “Old Cat, take Lulu!”
Lu Sicheng: “I won’t allow it.”
Tong Yao: “Lulu!”
Lu Sicheng: “No way.”
Tong Yao: “The first item today: void staff.”
Lu Sicheng: “Just see what happens if you don’t take a sightstone first.”
Ming god: “You two are so noisy. Really, Old Cat takes Lulu for her, just let her have it. Aya…… I’m like taking a bunch of elementary students to go abroad for a competition. Are we the Little White Dove Children Esports Team?”
Old K: “Locked support. You go ahead and pick the AD then, what to take for AD?”
Tong Yao: “Don’t know, go ask the Liu Yifei fan.”
Lu Sicheng: “Shut up.”
Old K: “......”
ZGDX’s voice chat channel was bustling with noise. The sound people backstage were at a loss since they couldn’t understand what the conversation was about or figure out what exactly these overly energetic players were fussing about……
When the match officially began, the players finally quieted down. One of the guys who was responsible for the sound backstage took off his headphones, rubbed his ears, and mumbled to his co-workers: “My goodness, these guys are so noisy! Didn’t they say that they stayed up in the hospital until midnight last night to take care of their sick teammate? Is that true? It doesn’t look like it.”

ReplyDeleteI feel bad to the person assign backstage(sound) that person has to deal with ZGDX's noise. Thank you for translating.
ReplyDeleteHahahah, I can imagine it
Deleteit's so funny that cheng ge's wallpaper is Crystal Liu, the one who played the live adaptation of Mulan. And Tong Yao is the Mulan of E Sports HAHAHAHAHAHA i think he did it on purpose
ReplyDeleteI think no, this novel was published around 2016-2017? Mulan live action was in 2020.
DeleteI am mad at Chengge! He would not let his gf even shake hands with her ex and even gets jealous when other male player talk to her but dares keep wallpaper of a Chinese actress on his phone!! So disappointed. 😂
