You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 116 Part 3

Little Fatty went downstairs and shouted: “What’s for dinner?”

Tong Yao switched over to the bullet comments and all the comments were [6666 Fatty only knows about food] [Fatty woke up] [Tell him to start streaming]......Tong Yao chuckled and switched back to game. At this point her score was 0/2/0, she was the only one who had died in the whole game. Taliyah had a nice kit for ganking, she could knock up enemies and ensnare them. She could also slow enemies and increase her movement speed as well. She was especially good at escaping, but Tong Yao wasn't familiar with the champion enough to use all the skills well and ended up dying……

Fortunately, she had a solid foundation in farming and didn’t fall too far behind with her items.

When the match was entering the 20th minute, her score was 1/6/5, 1 kill, 6 deaths, 5 assists-- --At that moment, the door in front of her opened again. Lu Sicheng walked out of the room with his hair still dripping wet.

Tong Yao switched over to check bullet comments and found everyone was saying that they had heard the sound of a door opening. She chuckled: “En. Our captain is up.”

[Our captain, our.]

[I smell of PDA.]

[Rubbing the PDA ing! Unsubscribe!]

[Ahhhhh, our captain, hum, why didn’t I notice the lovey dovey before!]

Lu Sicheng had gone downstairs to get a bottle of water from the refrigerator and went back up to the training area on the second floor. He stood right behind Tong Yao-- --

Lu Sicheng: “1/6/5 Taliyah. If you dare use Taliyah in a competition, I’ll break your head.”

“...............................I’m practicing now, uhm.” Tong Yao frowned: “Go away.”

“I’ve seen Ah Tai using Taliyah, that isn’t the way to use it. What messy handling, let me show you how to do it……” Lu Sicheng put down the bottled water and bent over to grab the mouse from Tong Yao’s hand.

“Don’t, don’t, don’t. Hrm, you’re an ad, why the hell are you teaching me how to play mid. You’re way over your head. Go away, hurry.” Tong Yao wouldn’t let go of the mouse and reached over to push him away.

“Let me try it. Don’t push me.”

Lu Sicheng pushed Tong Yao away. At that time, the minion lane in mid was not too bad. Tong Yao, from the beginning, was too afraid to be aggressive and the enemy’s mid, Ryze, was able to get on top of her-- --Just then, Ryze obviously didn’t know that someone else was playing Taliyah and was surprised to see Taliyah use her e and w abilities and followed by q and a-- --Ryze instantly lost more than half of his health. Ryze then reacted by casting a set of abilities on Taliyah. Because of the difference in their items, Taliyah wasn’t able to deal enough damage and ended up being killed instead.

The screen went dark.

Tong Yao’s teammate ad speechlessly typed: ?

The support of her team was more direct: A fake Smiling.

Lu Sicheng: “......”

Tong Yao was mad: “Damn, go away, go away!”

Tong Yao pushed Lu Sicheng away and went to buy some new items while waiting to respawn-- --As she was figuring out what to buy, she felt someone pinch her face from the side.

Tong Yao’s face was forced to turn to one side while her eyes were still fixed on the computer screen, looking like a typical internet addicted teenage girl: “Lu Sicheng, don’t bother me. I’m still-- --”

Before she finished the sentence, the man standing behind her lowered his head to kiss her.

Tong Yao: “......”

It was a light kiss, he lightly bit her lips before letting her go. He looked quite satisfied and lazily asked: “What?”

Tong Yao said with a straight face: “I’m streaming.”

Lu Sicheng’s expression froze for a moment. He took a look at the camera which was facing right at them. He paused again then used his big hand to cover the camera up: “......You didn’t say so earlier.”

“You didn’t give me a chance to say it. What are you covering it for? Do you even know what’s shameful?”

“I do.”

……

The viewers couldn’t see anything in the dark screen and could only hear the two arguing in tiny voices. They couldn’t hear anything clearly, but that didn’t stop them to keep sending bullet comments-- --

[6666666666666]

[666666]

[Can’t you play the match? I’m here to learn how to play better.]

[Perverted streamer, I’ve reported you to the police!]

[Take your hand off her, ahhhhhhh, fuck off, Lu Sicheng, take your hand away.]

[Perverted streamer, I’ve sent a police report! !]

[66666666666666]

[I’m just here to watch the stream. Why do you have to feed me PDA.]

[Have called the police already.]

[Already unsubscribed.]

Those Sweet Times

Chapter 88 Part 1

After Yang Yin and the others returned, the food Xiang Nuan had ordered also arrived. They transferred the food from takeout boxes onto plates. Now it looked like the food had been entirely home made. Xiang Nuan quite enjoyed the homey feeling.

It was a clear day without any wind and since there weren’t any bugs in the garden, they decided to eat outside.

“Oblivion is coming.” Lu Chuyan said as he put down his cell phone. “He’s at the door now.”

“Really? Why didn’t you tell us earlier?”

Lin Chuyan didn’t answer and just quietly looked at Xiang Nuan, the unfairness was visible in his eyes.

It was Xiang Nuan who had pushed him out the door before he had the chance to tell her.

Xiang Nuan scratched the back of her head and said: “How does Oblivion have the time to come over?”

“He asked for leave for a few hours.”

-- --

Oblivion came in carrying a nylon mesh bag with a round blackish thing in it. Xiang Nuan thought he was carrying a watermelon. When he came nearer, she discovered that it was a jug.

“What’s this?” Xiang Nuan asked out of curiosity.

Oblivion put the jug on the table carefully and said with a smile: “Take a look.”

Xiang Nuan came closer and walked around the table to check out the jug. Chen Yinghu was also curious and stood opposite of Xiang Nuan and circled around the jug in the same direction as Xiang Nuan.

Lin Chuyan was amused by the two: “Are you two doing a duet?”

Xiang Nuan looked up at Oblivion with a laugh: “Is this a jug of rice wine?”

“En.”

“Can I open it?”

Oblivion nodded: “I brought it here to drink.”

Xiang Nuan lifted the seal of the jug and peeked inside. She saw the liquid inside was still slightly rolling from side to side and the moon was reflected on the surface. A full-bodied aromatic smell came out the jug. Xiang Nuan took a deep breath with closed eyes: “Ah, it smells so good!”

Lin Chuyan used the back of his finger to tap on Xiang Nuan’s head: “A little boozebag.”

Yang Yin also smelled the rice wine and asked Oblivion: “Why is this wine so aromatic? How old is this wine?”

“Twenty years.”

“Wow……”

Even Lin Chuyan was surprised and asked: “Why do you have such a precious thing?”

“My family made it when I was born.” He paused after saying so and looked a little embarrassed.

Yang Yin understood: “Is it for when you get married?”

Oblivion didn’t answer but blushed a little, silently admitting to it.

Xiang Nuan felt uneasy about drinking the wine now: “Such an important jug of wine. If we drink it now…...it doesn’t feel right?”

“Good wine should be for good people, it’s quite alright.”

Xiang Nuan was brimming with joy hearing what Oblivion said.

They all sat down around the table and chatted as they ate.

It was a happy occasion with good friends and good wine.

Xiang Nuan took a small sip of the wine and squinted her eyes as she savored it. Lin Chuyan could tell from the look on her face that she probably would drink quite a lot tonight. He consciously controlled the amount he was drinking and made sure that at least one of them wouldn’t get drunk. His love rival sitting right next to him after all…...  

His love rival seemed to think the same way and happened to glance at him at the same time. The two men looked at each other, then both turned their faces away.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 116 Part 2

“It’s the top three. I can’t say he’s the number one since there’s another ad with similar skill living right next door afterall…...The king of ad in my mind is Weixiao[1], Gao Xuecheng, king in capital letters-- --He’s the guy who’d scream from missing just a single siege minion…...Cheng Ge won’t do that, he only inherited Gao Xuecheng’s stone face. So boring.”

[So you two are really together? Ahhhhh, if you see this, answer me, answer me!]

“Yeah, we’re together. Otherwise, how could we be like that.]

[Who’s after who! ! ! How did you get together! ! !]

Tong Yao bent over to pick up Xiao Cong which happened to pass by-- --In a short half of month, Xiao Cong had already grown from ‘little scallion’[2] into a ‘big scallion.’ The originally scrawny kitten had a plump belly now…...Tong Yao held the cat closer to the camera and said: “He said if I don’t agree to be together with him, he would throw Xiao Cong away. I figured that it was a life no matter what, so I agreed to it.”

[666666666666666]

[Didn’t expect Cheng Ge to act like this.]

[66666666]

[Damn, that’s a great trick. Wait till I use the same trick to get me a wife!]

[Then, when are you two going to break up!]

With a wave of “66” bullet comments, Tong Yao stroked Xiao Cong’s head and calmly replied: “We aren’t going to break up. I found a boyfriend by my own merit, why should we break up.”

As she finished her words, the ban & pick phase ended and she adjusted her runes as she waited for the match to start-- --Once the game started, she didn’t look at the bullet comments anymore and focused on playing…...The content of the bullet comments became rather anxious; it was a rather different kind of stream from what the viewers had expected in the first place-- --

They thought Tong Yao would avoid all the topics regarding Lu Sicheng, yet she didn’t.

They thought Tong Yao would spar with those trolls, yet she didn’t either.

They thought Tong Yao would complacently engage in some PDA to slap the faces of those fans who claimed to be Lu’s wives, yet she didn’t.

They thought Tong Yao would hypocritically appease the feelings of Lu Sicheng’s fangirls, yet she didn’t-- --

Everything went normally.

Everything went as usual.

Because of Tong Yao’s matter of fact reaction, some of the fangirls, who were feeling jealous and pissed off at the beginning, were cooling down instead-- --It was quite miraculous. They cooled down without even realizing why-- --Tong Yao acted so naturally; she didn’t bother taking special care of other people’s emotions and didn’t deliberately avoid any questions……

It seemed that everything simply happened naturally.

After Tong Yao began playing her ranked match, some of the people who had made comments about ZGDX or questioned Tong Yao on Weibo quietly deleted their derogatory statements. Some even sent private messages to her to apologize. Others kept quiet, only a few continued to jump all over Tong Yao……

It looked like Tong Yao’s tranquil demeanor had placated most of the fans: That’s right, it’s just two players dating, what a normal thing, what’s wrong with that……………

Tong Yao, on the other hand, didn’t know about these subtle changes; she was still playing her ranked matches and working hard learning how to play her new champion-- --Taliyah was fast and agile. Additionally, she was very effective at charging at assassin type champions. The only drawback was that Taliyah wasn’t very strong during the laning phase. To Tong Yao, a more aggressive type of player, Taliyah wasn’t a very handy champion……

One time, she was killed by the enemy’s mid, Tong Yao took the chance to switch to bullet comments and saw all the [66666] at the enemy’s mid. There were others like [You’re in love and lost your touch. You seldom get killed by others online before. I’m waiting for the explosion of ZGDX.] [Taliyah isn’t your type of champion.]......

“I feel like I don’t play Taliyah very well too. But I see a lot of Koreans play it quite well, so I have to practice it. If I don’t, then there’s no way we can win the world tournament-- --One less practiced champion means I’ll waste one ban which is no good.”

Tong Yao replied calmly and switched back to the game afterwards.

There were footsteps on the third floor. The B team players had all woken up and had gone down to the first floor for training.  Tong Yao stretched out her head to greet them. When she looked back at her computer, the room right in front of her-- --Lu Sicheng and Little Fatty’s room door was opened from the inside and both men walked out with sleepy eyes.

Lu Sicheng took a look at Tong Yao, scratched his hair, then went back to his room to take a shower with eyes still narrowing to slits.  

[1]: weixiao (微笑) is the id of a real Chinese professional player Gao Xuecheng, now retired. His id translates to Smiling. Tong Yao mentioned him as the reason for her user id.

[2]: Xiao Cong means “little scallion” in Chinese.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 116 Part 1

Little Fatty, while scratching his butt and with eyes narrowed into slits, opened his room door and was getting ready to get a drink of water downstairs. He took one step out of the door when he saw his team’s mid and ad embracing each other in the hallway facing head to head talking in small voices. He was taken aback and dropped a line “too hot for my eyes” before going back in and slamming the door shut.

Tong Yao let go of Lu Sicheng and urged him to go back to sleep. Lu Sicheng didn’t argue, released his hold on her, and turned around to go back to his room.

Tong Yao went to practice farming with several mid champions in custom game mode by herself-- --She paid special attention to the champions that she wasn’t too familiar with, such as Taliyah. When she felt she was ready, she decided to go into some ranked games to try it out. She logged on and got in the queue.

While she was waiting, she noticed the little notebook on her desk. She picked it up and flipped through it-- --Then she discovered that she was far behind her required streaming hours for this month because she had procrastinated early in the month, then she was preoccupied with other things plus the trip to Xiamen. She thought for a moment then logged on to do stream.

-- --Everyone found it unexpected that Tong Yao would do a stream in the teeth of the storm!

The viewers of her stream grew exponentially. During those dozens of seconds between the time when she reached over to adjust the camera to the time when she sat back into her chair, the viewers grew from a dozen or so in the beginning to over two hundred thousand……The bullet comments flew over the screen. The viewers who hadn’t had a chance to face the female lead in the incident for the past few days finally got their chance to express themselves!

[Wow, she’s streaming!]

[Damn, damn, my wifey is streaming. I’m here to support-- --Wifey, are you alright! !]

[6666666666666]

[Warning: Bunch of trolls ahead.]

[How dare you do a stream. Is it because you’re the hot topic recently so you’re here to rub it in for more attention? Hehe.]

[↑It’s here already.]

[Demacia Cup 6666666666666. How did you two get together anyway? Hahahaha.]

[Moderator, get to work, moderator, get to work. Or, Smiling, let me be the moderator. I’ll be here till you get off.]

[How are you, our ZGDX’s sister-in-law? Where's my Cheng Ge?]

[Where’s Lu Sicheng, where’s Lu Sicheng, where’s Lu Sicheng, where’s Lu Sicheng?]

[Let your man come on the stream! ! ! !]

……

The bullet comments flew by quickly. Comments, both supportive or insulting, disappeared quickly from the screen. Tong Yao took a few glances at them and randomly picked a few rather neutral questions to answer: “So I’m streaming. I’m practicing with rank matches, if I don’t stream at the same time when would I have time to stream? Why would I be shameless streaming? I’ve been streaming before…...If I don't stream today, I won’t have enough streaming hours by the end of the month again. By that time all I can stream is me sleeping-- --”

[Sleeping with Lu Sicheng!]

[Perverted streamer, I’m calling the police!]

[Shame on you, who wants to watch you sleep with Cheng Ge.]

“...............I sleep by myself.” Tong Yao answered, keeping a straight face. At this time, she got in a team and entered the game. She immediately chose Taliyah at champion select, then continued to chat: “Teammates? They’re all still sleeping. We just got back to base last night and are all exhausted-- --Right, we came back from Xiamen-- --The B team? The B team played pretty well. Though they lost the match to CK, they still managed to squeeze into the next round. Dubhe is quite talented……”

[How could you praise another ad!]

[Only your man deserves to be called talented, thank you.]

[Recording, reporting. Switch to Lu Sicheng’s moderator!]

[Tell us about Cheng Ge! ! !]

“Tell you what about him?” Tong Yao glanced over the bullet comments and replied quite at ease: “Cheng Ge is a very strong ad, is ranked at least in the top three in the world now……”

[Only top three!]

[Damn, how can you keep cool when talking about your man? Where’s your teenage girl’s heart! I want to see you blush! I want to see you embarrassed!]

[Top three 6666666666]

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 115 Part 3

After finishing with all the downloads, Tong Yao logged on to all social networks to check them. She picked a few private messages which were dissing her on Weibo and replied “read,” and replied to those which were supporting her with “thanks.” Then she put down her cell phone and went to take a shower and get a change of clothes. When she opened her room door, at 8 o’clock in the morning feeling all refreshed, she jumped by a huge creature squatting in front of her door-- --

“Shoot! What are you doing here! It’s so early in the morning!”

Tong Yao pulled on the man’s hair-- --He looked up, there were dark circles under his eyes, obviously from lack of sleep. Tong Yao had messed up his hair. He was unshaven and had an unlit cigarette in his mouth.

Startled by his disheveled appearance, Tong Yao subconsciously released her hold on his hair: “.........................What’s this? You haven’t slept the whole night?”

Lu Sicheng’s eyeballs rolled around in his eyes and then opened his mouth with a somewhat hoarse voice: “I slept for an hour and couldn’t go back to sleep again…...I was worried about you so I came to your door to check whether you were crying, hiding inside your blanket, only to hear you snoring loudly.”

“...............................” Tong Yao blushed a little and walked around to face Lu Sicheng. She also squatted down and quickly pulled the cigarette out of his mouth: “Didn’t you quit?”

“I haven’t lit it.” Lu Sicheng gave her a glance: “I’m upset. Having it in my mouth calms me down.”

“What are you upset about?”

“I messed up.” Lu Sicheng turned his face away and said flatly: “I’m too impulsive. Didn’t consider the consequences.”

“What consequences!”

“......Regarding, what you have to face.”

Tong Yao reached over to turn his face back and stroked his head like stroking a big dog, then used a mollifying tone of voice to say: “If you’re worried that I would be defeated by those comments online, then it’s totally unnecessary. I’m fine.”

Lu Sicheng stood up and pulled Tong Yao up as well.

Tong Yao hugged his waist with both of her hands as she stood up: “I was very scared at the beginning. I always thought that if we went public, there would be an overwhelming amount of objections and questions. I had a lot of concerns-- --What I was afraid of the most is whether you would be influenced by it, just like what Jian Yang did before, and start to regret being with me. Then there’ll be cheating, lies, indifference, and eventually we would go our separate ways…...That’s what I’m afraid of the most, but then afterwards-- --”

“What happens afterwards?” Lu Sicheng let the girl who was much shorter than him hug him. He could feel the soft body pressing against his and when he lowered his head, he could smell the faint smell of the shower gel which made him feel warm and reassured…… He paused but couldn’t help stressing about it: “Let me make it clear first, at least in this regard, I haven’t regretted it.”

“Afterwards, I found that you’re different from Jian Yang. That you won’t do those things to me, I’m certain of it. You firmly and clearly know what you want……” Tong Yao tightened her arms: “I feel reassured. Therefore, one day I decided to end your probation.”

Tong Yao looked up to face those dark brown pupils of his: “From that day on, I’ve mentally prepared myself to face the coming storm. You said that you don’t regret it, so neither do I-- --”

Tong Yao stopped for a moment.

Her black pupils were never this bright before.

“I don’t regret it.” She looked into Lu Sicheng’s eyes and said word by word: “I’m not afraid either.”

The moment she ended her sentence, she could feel the arms around her waistline suddenly tighten. Lu Sicheng hugged her tightly as if he wanted to press her inside his body. He lowered his head and kissed her deeply with the feeling of gratitude.

……

[The person totally tricked by a high schooler: Little ostrich, I heard that you’ve redownloaded Weibo and Tieba, where did you get your courage?]

[ZGDX, Smiling: From a lot of people, you, other friends, teammates, the club……]

Those Sweet Times

Chapter 87 Part 3

“It’s just a suggestion, of course.” Yue Yingying quickly added: “If your parents don’t have time, we’ll have dinner some other time in the future.”

“Actually my parents have already met Lin Chuyan before.” Xiang Nuan replied in a small voice: “My mom likes him very much.”

Yue Yingying opened her mouth and took a look at her son with a surprised look. The look in her eyes was filled with encouragement and approval which Lin Chuyan had never seen before. He didn’t get that kind of look when he won awards for competitions or received his score on the college entrance exam. 

Yue Yingying stayed a while longer to chat with them. In the end, she asked Xiang Nuan what gift she wanted for her birthday. Xiang Nuan was too embarrassed to ask for anything.

When Yue Yingying was ready to leave, Lin Chuyan and Xiang Nuan walked her out. Lin Chuyan asked: “Mom, do you remember my birthday?”

“I know why you ask.” Yue Yingying lightly patted his shoulder and said softly: “You have to believe mom, Chuyan. If you weren’t our biological son, we would have discarded you long ago.”

“......Thanks, mom. Motherly love is so great.”

“Don’t mention it, that’s from your dad.”

Lin Chuyan thought that his mother was too accommodating to his father.

However, when he thought about it, if his own wife in the future could be this accommodating…… it would be quite nice that way.

After Yue Yingying left, Lin Chuyan closed the door and asked Xiang Nuan: “What do you want as a birthday gift?”

Xiang Nuan looked at him with her chin resting on her palm: “Hum…...What do you want to give me?”

Lin Chuyan smiled: “I’ll give myself to you.”

“Then you don’t have to spend a dime? You wish, Lin Chuyan. Don’t try to get away with it, you’re mine already.”

“My heart is yours, but my body isn’t yet.”

“......”

-- --

Chen Yinghu liked the feeling of driving the Mercedes Benz to the supermarket to buy beer. To make the pleasure last longer, he and Yang Yin both decided to go to the market that was further away.

Chen Yinghu drove the car on their way to the market and Yang Yin was the one who drove it back.

Yang Yin asked while she was driving: “What should we do tomorrow?”

“I’m going to the lab.” Shen Zemu said.

“How about you, Little Tiger?”

“I want to go to Laofeng Street.”

Shen Zemu couldn’t understand it: “What’s the fun of going to Laofeng Street?” The street was always crowded which gave him a headache. For him, one visit there was enough.

He couldn’t understand Chen Yinghu and Chen Yinghu couldn’t understand him either. Chen Yinghu: “No matter what Laofeng Street would be a better place than the lab?”

Shen Zemu was speechless.

Yang Yin laughed: “I would like to go to Laofeng Street too. There’s a place there with very good tofu pudding. I’ll take you there.”

“Sure, sure…...Yin Jie, how’s your job search? You still haven’t found a suitable team?”

“No, Deng Wenbo, that damn fool keeps spreading rumors about me even now. I think I’ll need to beat him up again.”

“Why did you beat him up before?”

“He wouldn’t keep his hands off me.”

“That kind of person deserves to be beaten. Next time remember to call me when you go beat him up.”

“Alright.”

Shen Zemu leaned against the car window, looking at the view outside as it quickly passed by. Though he felt that the other two were talking nonsense, to his surprise, he found it to be rather peaceful and didn’t find the conversation boring.

When they were back at the villa, they parked the car, carried the stuff they had bought to the villa, and saw Lin Chuyan at the door.

Lin Chuyan was squatting down at the foot of the wall next to the door. The sun had already set and it was getting dark. They couldn’t clearly tell why Lin Chuyan was doing there.

“What are you doing here?” Yang Yin went over to ask.

“I’m checking to see whether there are any bugs out here. If there’s no bug, we can eat in the garden later.” Lin Chuyan stood up and said with his body straightened upright.

He would never let anyone figure it out that Xiang Nuan had actually driven him out to reflect on his misdeeds.

He was a good actor and Yang Yin didn’t find anything wrong with his reply. Yang Yin and Chen Yinghu walked in the front to ring the doorbell. Lin Chuyan followed them back into the house.

He figured that the most important thing to a person was to have thick skin.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 115 Part 2

It was even messier on ZGDX's official Weibo site. Some were calling Tong Yao shameless for seducing Lu Sicheng; some were calling Lu Sicheng names for having a crush on Tong Yao…...and the others were blaming management: [Damn the management, they don’t even come out to stick up for their players when they’re being blasted online. They obviously don’t treat their players like human beings. They only know how to squeeze players dry to make money from them. Get lost!]

It was said that the girl who administered the official site had been dissed so badly that she burst into tears and went directly to the public relations department of the club to demand the director issue a statement.

When the plane carrying Tong Yao and her teammates landed at Shanghai’s airport, the ZGDX Club finally issued an official statement-- --

[To the fans of the ZGDX Club:

Greetings to everyone.

Thanks to everyone for your long time fondness and support to the two members of our Club’s League of Legends Division: Tong Yao (game id: Smiling) and Lu Sicheng (game id: Chessman).

As to the private relationship between our team members, our club, upholding the management concepts of independence and open mindedness, will not excessively interfere in private relationships under the condition that said relationships haven’t impacted their training and performance-- -- “The mutual attraction will become a legend with high approbation,” will be the best blessing and wishes from the management of our club.

As to the online verbal attacks on our players recently, our club will investigate and follow through. Any speech that infringes on the personal safety of our players, our club will uphold our right to take legal action and safeguard the personal rights of our players to the end.

Finally, there is a quote on Weibo-- --

“If you are watchful of the current situation in the world, it seems that the opposite side of goodness isn’t evil, but ignorance.

Evil is only the by-product of ignorance.”

Don’t let ignorance blind your eyes to goodness.

We wish you all a happy life.]

……

On the bus back to the ZGDX base, Xiao Rui read the official statement from the club word by word on the microphone. After he put down the mic, he faced the two who were sitting on the last row and said: “I heard the official Weibo administrator cried three times from being attacked by fans. But there’s nothing to be afraid of, it’s not something shameful at all-- --But you two have to understand one thing: a lot of people are watching you, some who are sincerely wishing you well and some who are waiting to see you fall so they can laugh at you. Therefore, in regards to the world championship, there’s only winning. There’s no room for losing.”

Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng didn’t say anything at the time.

The atmosphere in the bus grew serious. Everyone had a ponderous look on their face. Everyone was carefully mulling over what Xiao Ruo had just said-- --

[Some who are sincerely wishing you well and some are waiting to see you fall so they can laugh at you. Therefore, in regards to the world championship, there’s only winning. There’s no room for losing]

……

After arriving back at base, they all went back to their rooms to take showers and get ready for bed. Tong Yao didn’t bother to think about anything or do anything. She only took out her cell phone to charge it and then fell sound asleep on her bed, without a dream throughout the night…...The next morning, the sun shone brightly into her room. Tong Yao took off her eyeshades and got up. She grabbed her cell phone and the first thing she saw was a WeChat message from her friend Chen Jinyang-- --

[The person totally tricked by a high schooler: Your official site is really something, facing off those trolls just like that. It’s almost like wishing you two for a harmonious union and to soon have a baby.]

The corner of Tong Yao’s lips twitched. 

She logged off WeChat and opened the Apple store to download Weibo, Tieba, the LoL app, and other various social network apps. She was at peace with herself as she waited for the downloads.
