You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 113 Part 3

Commentator A: [Uh…...hahahahahahahaha, the audience suddenly quieting down is the scariest thing.]

Commentator B: [I forgot what I was saying. You guys are really troublemakers-- --]

Commentator A: [I can sense a little bit of uneasiness.]

Commentator B: [Didn’t you say that you don’t usually go on Tieba?]

Commentator A: [I most certainly don’t check the day I finish commentating a match. The same reason players will uninstall Tieba the day they lose a game-- --But, to be honest, I would still go on if there’s some big gossip. As a commentator, I can’t be behind on current news……]

Commentator B: [Hahahahahahahahahahaha!]

The audience also burst into laughter.

The atmosphere inside the arena became more relaxed.

Amid the teasing commentators, the ZGDX A team players, bearing with the attention from the entire audience, sat down at the same seats as yesterday. Many people in the audience still kept looking at them. Tong Yao twitched the corner of her lips: “I feel like a superstar.”

“Bear with it.” Lu Sicheng said in a relaxed manner: “No one will watch you after the game starts.”

Tong Yao: “......”

Lu Sicheng was right; after not noticing any suspicious interactions between the two, many people stopped looking at them. They had turned their attention to the players on the stage. Both commentators were also back to discussing the lineups of both teams of today’s matches-- --

At the same time, the cameraman started to pan over the audience at random to show them on the big screen. First were the CK fangirls who were sitting in the front rows. Then it was the ZGDX fangirls on the other side of the aisle-- --The front rows of the ZGDX side were basically occupied by Lu Yue’s fans. They seemed to have sprung up overnight and had brought with them quite an elaborate set of LCD light boards and banners.

There were also fans of the partners at bot lane, Dubhe and Alkaid.

Tong Yao looked up at the big screen with a smile, enjoying her status as a spectator until she saw her own big face show up on the big screen-- --

This scene was deja vu for her.

During the Spring competition this year, her face had been shown on the screen just like this. At that time, Jian Yang was so shocked that he spilled water over the table, which was a rather funny scene…...Thinking back on the moment, Tong Yao’s smile on her face widened and just like last time, she happily waved at the camera while thinking: Luckily, I was smart enough to put on some makeup.

The camera moved from her to the expressionless Lu Sicheng next to her.

Lu Sicheng was looking down on a little notebook in his hand. Then as if he had sensed something, he looked up.

The shot once again stirred up a commotion among the audience.

Commentator A: [Looks like today’s cameraman intends on stirring the pot!]

Commentator B: [Mr. Cameraman, so you also go on Tieba?]

Commentator A: [Alright, according to our usual protocol, whenever the camera catches a couple on the big screen, the couple has to show us a hot kiss, hahahahahahaha!]

The camera shook a bit as if agreeing with the suggestion. The audience burst out laughing, some even started screaming.

Commentator B: [But to be more reasonable, if they aren’t a couple that would be too embarrassing. I personally appeal to the cameraman to leave our esports national daughter and national god off-- --]

Before he could finish his sentence and before the audience had recovered from their jeering and teasing, they only heard a loud noise as they saw the captain of Team CK, Jian Yang, jump up from his seat. On the big screen, they saw the captain of ZGDX grab his team’s mid, who was still innocently waving her hand, and bent over to kiss her.

Inside the arena, it was dead quiet for three seconds. 

At the fourth second, the sound of screaming, clapping, and cheerings were as loud as thunder. It felt like the roar could almost lift the roof off the arena.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 113 Part 2

Tong Yao shook the cell phone in her hand: “Someone said on Tieba that you have a crush on me.”

Lu Sicheng gave her a glance, then took out his phone to check the Tieba. He then corrected her: “Actually it said that we’re together.”

Tong Yao: “No it didn’t. The original poster said she could tell from the look in your eyes that you have a crush on me. I was watching the game. What were you peeping at me for-- --Today you even made the excuse to come to my room to take a shower and show off your ab muscles. You do have a crush on me.”

Lu Sicheng laughed and put down his cell phone: “It was Little Fatty who drove me to your room because he wanted to take a shower too…...Hum, alright, I have a crush on you. Are you going to grant my wish?”

Amidst the burst of uproarious laughter and whistling, Tong Yao also put her cell phone down and pretended to earnestly think it over: “Let me think about it. I’m such a young, lovely girl. Loved by everyone and I can carry a game on my own as well. What’s the advantage being with you? Will you give me the red buff?”

Lu Sicheng said with all seriousness: “I won’t let you have it even if you’re pregnant with a kid with the last name Lu.”

Tong Yao: “......”

Everyone was amused by their bickering and started to joke around among themselves. Some teased Little Fatty saying that he got a green hat just like that. In the end no one noticed one fact-- --That Lu Sicheng didn’t deny anything that had been said in the Tieba posts……

Neither did Tong Yao.

……

Next day, the A team accompanied the B team to the competition arena. Today’s opponent was the team CK. Before they went out the door of the hotel, Tong Yao grabbed the B team players-- --especially their jungler-- --and admonished them: winning is the only option, you can’t lose; even if you lose, it can’t be in the jungle.

CK was one of the top teams in the major league. The B team players all indicated that what Tong Yao had asked was too tough to accomplish and they refused to comply. The only thing they could strive for was to not lose too badly……

When they got off the bus, they found many esports media waiting in the parking lot-- --Xiao Rui was the first one to get off and, slow to react, was dumbfounded by what he saw. The next second he found out that the A team, which was here for vacation and as bystanders, had become the focus of the Demacia Cup.

Media A: “Please Cheng Ge, Cheng Ge look over here, please tell us are you and Smiling really like what they said out there?”

Media B: “Please, Smiling, what do you think about the whole thing?”

Tong Yao: “I have no thoughts.”

Media C: “If you two aren’t together, then why would you put on his jacket? !”

Tong Yao: “I’ve been having stomach aches because of my period. The captain was afraid that their mid would die from the pain and then the team won’t have a mid !”

Media D: “Do your teammates know about this?”

Little Fatty: “We don’t know, don’t know! Move away, move away, move away-- --”

At the end, the teams had to rely on Little Fatty and security to push open a path in the parking lot to escort them into the arena. They left the noisy reporters behind. Xiao Rui breathed out a long sigh of relief: “Damn, is this the entertainment circle or the esports circle? I, a team manager, have turned into a celebrity agent who has to block the paparazzi for you……”

After they went into the arena, they found out that the whole incident hadn’t ended yet. As they were entering the arena, the entire audience, already seated, turned their heads to look at them-- --

The boisterous arena suddenly became unexpectedly quiet. Even the commentators, who were just talking passionately as they analyzed the lineups of both teams, also stopped talking. The atmosphere inside the arena became quite eerie.

Chapter 113 Part 1

[Third post: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?]

[Fourth post: Original poster, I warn you to watch yourself. You can say my wifey Yao Mei[1] is falling in love with her teammate and I would have no objections. But you said that Cheng Ge likes a human being and I’m not convinced-- --If he likes anyone, it has to be Yu Jinle (*Little Fatty’s name). He’s been Cheng Ge’s support for so many years and is still alive despite having sold out Cheng Ge many times. There’s only one explanation: “Love”.]

[Fifth post: 666, I have to hand it to all of you fangirls. The angle by which you follow a player is always so surprising-- -- “I’ve been watching Chessman compete for three and a half years, from the Korean region to the Chinese region. I may not understand the game too well, but I’m confident that I know this man better than anyone else.” 6666666666, you’ve created a different perspective for the esports circle.]

[Sixth post: Is there something wrong with you, fifth post? You guys don’t have any problems when you stare at female hosts’ chests and thighs and comment about it? Have fangirls provoked you? The original poster didn’t really say anything offending did she? Or is it in your view that even if a player has carried every game, he still doesn’t have the right to fall in love?]

[Seventh post: ……………………………………………..I checked all the pictures posted, then took a look at the pictures I’ve taken with my boyfriend. The look in his eyes, the look in Cheng Ge’s eyes, indeed…...they’re exactly the same.]

[Eighth post: Kick the above PDA away.]

[Ninth post: It’s better not to talk nonsense at a time like this.]

[Tenth post: I’ll be here waiting to see the original poster eating shit. I’ve marked it and made a screen shot. Please don’t disavow it.]

……

Tong Yao: “......”

Half an hour later, Tong Yao checked again and there were already over two hundred posts with over four hundred replies-- --At this rate, this post could become just like the posts from the “Xu Tailun incident” in no time.

Tong Yao anxiously finished dinner and was hoping that the post would quiet down shortly after or that her teammates didn’t see it-- --

It was simply Tong Yao’s wishful thinking.

The reality was that everyone in the ZGDX teams, except Lu Sicheng who didn’t check Tieba unless there was something going on, all liked to check Tieba on a regular basis to read gossip, including the team manager Xiao Rui-- --Males like to gossip as well. Many of the Tieba posts were sparked by these people using alternate ids.

After everyone was full and got back to the bus, Xiao Rui was the first one to log on Tieba, soon followed by everyone else. They immediately found this post and started a heated discussion about its contents-- --

Xiao Rui: “Shit! ‘Are the two Cs of ZGDX together?’-- --? ! As the team manager, I have to say no one has informed me about this!”

Old Cat: “Hahahahahahahahahahaha, the look in his eyes is mellow, it really is if you look at the picture……”

Lu Yue also checked the Tieba posts and immediately saved the pictures and logged on to WeChat: “The look in his eyes must be photoshopped, I’m disgusted. I’ll send them to my mom and let her view them with the captions: Summer is here and it’s that time once every year for your oldest son to be in heat. In the past, he hid it well but this year, he probably hasn’t been able to keep it in.”

Old K giggly asked: “Has Cheng Ge ever looked at Little Fatty this way?”

Little Fatty replied with a stone face: “Never.”

The kids in the B team didn’t dare say anything for fear of Lu Sicheng’s usual overbearing attitude. But they all leaned against the back of their seats and looked at the last row of the bus-- --The captain of ZGDX A team who was sitting in the last row finally opened his eyes and stretched his long legs to sit up straighter: “What’s going on?”

[1]: 妹 (mei) meaning little sister when used after a person’s name. 妹妹 (mei mei) is the actual word for little sister. This is in the same type of word as ge and jie.

Those Sweet Times

Chapter 86 Part 2

Being a professional team, Invincible seemed to recognize they had problems facing Xiang Nuan’s team and used the excuse of having problems with their equipment to ask for a ten minute extension to the break time.

They needed time to adjust their battle plan.

-- --

In the third match, during the pick and ban phase, Invincible took the Zhuge Liang which had caused them a lot of trouble in the previous match. Lin Chuyan then chose Mai Shiranui as his champion. In the current patch of the game, the first pick for mage champions would be either Zhuge Liang or Mai Shiranui. In any professional competition or high ranked matches, these two mages were the most played. The champion Lin Chuyan was actually the best at playing was Diaochan, but Diaochan needed a lot of resources and wasn’t as efficient.

Since Invincible had rushed to grab Zhuge Liang, Xiang Nuan’s team fortunately had the chance to snatch Hua Mulan for her.

Afterwards, they took Sun Bin for Yang Yin, Marco Polo for Shen Zemu, and Miyamoto Musashi for Chen Yinghu as their jungler.

Miyamoto Musashi wasn’t a mainstream champion for jungler, but it fit quite well to the team’s current lineup. The other champions in the lineup weren’t tanky enough and it would be difficult for them to deal a steady stream of damage during a team fight without dying. Miyamoto Musashi could make up for their lack of survivability, in addition his ultimate ability roots the enemy, guaranteeing that his teammates could wail on the victim.

The lineup for team Invincible was Zhuge Liang, Li Yuanfang, Cao Cao, Yang Jian, and Zhang Fei. Li Yuanfang was the jungler. This was a quite formidable lineup. Other than Zhuge Liang, Li Yuanfang was very effective as a jungler and at pushing towers. Li Yuanfang had a pair of big ears which could detect the position of the enemies, as such hiding in bushes wouldn’t work against him. Players from the Invincible A team were good at playing Cao Cao and Yang Jian and the B team players must be very familiar with these two champions. So the tolerance for error with this lineup was very high. Zhang Fei, Cao Cao, and Yang Jian were all tanky champions and it happened to be the weak point of Xiang Nuan’s team.

In terms of their lineups, team Invincible was at an advantage.

Certainly, the champion lineup was only one of the aspects of winning a match. It still mostly depended on how the players brought their abilities to its fullest extent.

……

From the beginning of the game, Invincible played quite aggressively.

They had obviously adjusted their mindset. Li Yuanfang kept invading the jungle, establishing an advantage for their team, and helped the top and bot lanes smoothly develop. Xiang Nuan’s team was unable to stop him. By 4 ½ minutes, Invincible had a lead of over a thousand gold and that one thousand gold had been mostly earned by Cao Cao and Yang Jian. Once these two champions fully developed, they would become terrifying enemies.

As times went by, the gap between the two teams kept widening.

“Don’t rush.” Yang Yin said: “Farm, avoid fights, it’s not time to fight yet.”

The enemy played with a tight pace and Xiang Nuan’s team could hardly find any flaws to take advantage of. Xiang Nuan felt a bit pressured. Her direct opposite was Cao Cao, who focused only on farming and didn’t even bother to look at her.

Now the players from Invincible were showing the quality of professional players. They only fought for victory and didn’t bother with any other distractions.

Both sides quietly developed their economy. Only once in a while did one side try to tempt the other side, but there were no real fights. The match was at a stalemate.

The viewers began to grow bored.

-- --Why isn’t Chu god screwing around? I’m not used to the Chu god who isn’t doing that.

-- --How can he? He simply can’t.

-- --Chu god has done what he can. Facing Li Yuanfang, Chu god hasn’t lost a single turret. Just tell me whether he’s awesome or not!

-- --Yeah right, just by only farming? The turrets in mid lane haven’t been destroyed at all because my Nuan god’s looking after him!

-- --Li Yuanfang, though aggressive, hasn’t actually fully pushed their advantage.

-- --The marksman looks like he’s having a rather miserable time from all the pressure he’s dealing with. It’s a pity, he looks so handsome. I’m sleepy.

-- --It’s not that bad. Marco Polo’s economy isn’t that far behind. He’s stolen quite a few resources from Miyamoto.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 112 Part 3

As they were eating dinner, Tong Yao had a feeling that the incident wouldn’t end there.

As she had expected, halfway through dinner, Jinyang sent a link with the message: This isn’t from me.

Tong Yao clicked open the link to take a look. She swallowed a whole piece of meat the moment she laid eyes on the heading on the link. The piece of meat was searing hot. Tong Yao dropped her chopsticks and stood up to grab a glass of water to gulp down. She then caught her breath with teary eyes. When she finally calmed down, she noticed that everyone at the table was looking at her-- --

Tong Yao: “......”

She sat back down.

The heading of the post of Tieba was-- --

[(Subject) Are the two Cs of ZGDX together? I felt like there’s something going on before. As a girl, I feel the looks in their eyes couldn’t possibly fool anyone.]

There wasn’t a single word in the post, instead it was filled with HD pictures with no watermarks-- --

The first time when Lu Sicheng mentioned Tong Yao in a MVP interview; he praised her “she’s strong” with soft eyes and a rare faint smile next to his lips.

The picture of when Little Fatty broke Tong Yao’s sandal and Lu Sicheng picked her up was certainly included.

Tong Yao looked up at Lu Sicheng with slightly knit eyebrows when the two of them went to the movie for the first time and had been ganked by fans.

Lu Sicheng subconsciously turned to look at Tong Yao in the middle of the match against Qing Dynasty when Tong Yao had been targeted by Xu Tailun and had anxiety written all over her face.

When Tong Yao accompanied Jinyang to watch YQCB’s match in the audience, Tong Yao was looking up at the big screen while Lu Sicheng, with arms crossed in front of him, leaned against the doorway to the players’ passageway and quietly watched Tong Yao from afar across the crowd.

During the Demacia Cup match today, while all the others were focusing on the game on stage, the two of them had their heads lowered, occupied in their own discussion. They probably had talked about something humorous; Tong Yao was smiling with her eyes narrowed to slits while the corners of Lu Sicheng’s lips slightly curved up and Old K was next to him with a displeased expression on his face.

Then there were several pictures which had been taken today in front of the hotel.

The first one: Lu Sicheng standing on the bus with one hand holding the door frame, half of his body stretching out of the door with his head looking downwards. The side view of his face looked perfect in the SLR HD camera.  Under the bus, Tong Yao was holding a dark blue jacket while looking up at the man.

The second one: Tong Yao looked down to put on the jacket which had been in her arms earlier; the jacket obviously was too big for her, it was the size for a tall man.

The third one: The man reached out with one hand to the girl.

The fourth one: The girl took hold of his hand.

The second post was the conclusion from the original poster-- --

[Original Poster: 

Hints can be hard to pick up on, but the way they look at each other can’t fool anyone-- --

I’ve been watching Chessman compete for three and a half years, from the Korean region to the Chinese region. I may not understand the game too well, but I’m confident that I know this man better than anyone else. I haven’t seen him look at anyone like that in these three and a half years. Now he only looks at his team’s mid that way.

In conclusion, these two must be together now, or Cheng Ge has a crush on Smiling. In any case, it’s a choice between the two options I present here; there absolutely won’t be a third answer.

You guys can choose one of the two.

If I’m wrong, I’ll stream myself eating shit.]

Those Sweet Times

Chapter 86 Part 1

In the second match, Lin Chuyan took Zhuge Liang as his champion. Zhuge Liang was usually referred to as the “lane bully,” which meant that he excelled at clearing minion lanes and usually held more of an advantage during the laning phase compared to other mages.

The enemy’s mid had chosen Gao Jianli as his champion. In the early game, facing Gao Jianli, Zhuge Liang began acting a little impulsively.

This was expected by team Invincible. In their eyes, the breaking point of Xiang Nuan’s team was the mid who had quick hands but was too impulsive. He would screw around and lose his touch with the team, which was exactly what had happened during the first match.

In the early game, it was too difficult for Gao Jianli to heavily harass Zhuge Liang. But this Zhuge Liang was too willful, staying put even when his health was almost gone. Gao Jianli couldn’t control the urge to hit Zhuge Liang any more. He went over to attack Zhuge Liang once or twice. Then right at that moment, Zhuge Liang’s teammates, the jungler and the support, suddenly jumped out from the bushes and closed in to kill Gao Jianli.

Team Invincible believed that was just an accident.

But a few minutes later, they fell into the same trap again. Lin Chuyan’s Zhuge Liang scurried away. He was so panicked that he even used flash, how could that be a fake move? At this moment the enemy’s Yang Jian had already caught Zhuge Liang and the enemy all rushed over.

Despite this, Yang Jian died the next second.

The bystanders usually have a clearer view. Some of the viewers had figured it out and sent bullet comments.

-- --Isn’t this baiting? I used it before in pub games. Are these players from Penguin TV fools, falling for something like this?

-- --I’m reporting Yang Jian for feeding.

-- --What professional team, don’t kid me, a professional team with this kind of skill level?

-- --To be honest, this Zhuge Liang is a rather good actor. I would believe it if it were me playing. 

-- --I’ll send a song “Actors” to Zhuge Liang.

-- --Those who said you don’t believe Zhuge Liang was acting probably forgot what he had done in the last match? He sometimes plays compulsively for real and sometimes not…...Who knows when to believe it’s true and when not to believe it?

-- --It’s too tricky. If I were to meet this kind of player in a game, I could kill him. But when I think of Chu god’s face, I won’t have the heart to kill him.

-- --Penguin TV is too conceited.

……

Since Invincible was a professional team, Lin Chuyan didn’t expect them to fall for his trick for a third time. He played more squarely till the tenth minute when he forced the enemy into a team fight near Dragon. The enemy’s jungler had low health and was about to retreat, Lin Chuyan’s Zhuge Liang targeted him with his ultimate. The enemy’s Zhuang Zhou estimated the trajectory and was ready to move in between the ultimate to block for his teammate. What happened next was the climax of this match. Zhuge Liang, currently running in one direction, suddenly turned around with his mobility ability followed by a flash and instantly pulled himself away from Zhuang Zhou to reach a position of safety. Then Zhuge Liang’s ultimate landed and killed the enemy jungler.

Zhuge Liang was a reaper type of mage. Once he had killed with his ultimate, he would fight more and more fiercely later on.

The moves Lin Chuyan took to change his position to cast his ultimate seemed to happen in a blink of the eye. A lot of viewers didn’t even catch the glimpse of it. Some cursed Zhuang Zhou for being an idiot, maybe he’s only a Bronze player?

Certainly, there were a few who had figured it out and discussed it on the bullet comments.

-- --Damn, how can anyone feint like this? 66666

-- --Send the song “Actors” to Zhuge Liang.

-- --Zhuang Zhou didn’t move at all. Even if he had reacted, it probably wouldn’t have done anything for him. He can only blame Zhuge Liang for being too good at juking.

-- --I faked it before, but not as good as him.

-- --An outstanding student from the Drama School.

-- --Other people are playing games, you’re just scheming here. Hahahaha……

At the tenth minute of the game, it was the refresh time of the Dark Slayer. Xiang Nuan’s team won the team fight and easily took down the Dark Slayer. From now on, the rhythm of the game was in the hands of Xiang Nuan’s team.

Actually, Invincible hadn’t performed as they normally would. As a professional team playing in an amateur competition, they came with a contemptuous mindset. Furthermore, they had won all the matches in this tournament so easily that they had overestimated themselves. As a junior team, they didn’t have many opportunities to play in official competitions and therefore didn’t have enough experience to adjust their mindset when encountering setbacks. They were surprised by Xiang Nuan’s team which had adjusted back to their normal play patterns. By this juncture in the game, team Invincible had totally lost their rhythm and couldn’t regain their pace.

With a mindset like this, even if Lin Chuyan didn’t play any tricks, Invincible might not have won this match to begin with. Now because of Lin Chuyan screwing around, Invincible was on guard for him everywhere.

Xiang Nuan’s team won the second match.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 112 Part 2

Lu Sicheng came out of the bathroom with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist. He pushed the small chair that was right in front of the bathroom door away with his foot and walked straight up to Tong Yao who was sitting on the bed with her back to the bathroom-- --Beads of water dripped from his hair onto her neck which was bent down as she typed on her phone. The water drops startled Tong Yao. As she abruptly turned her head to look up, Lu Sicheng took the chance to bend over and kiss her on the lips.

“Who are you talking to?”

As Lu Sicheng was asking, he also took a look at the cell phone in Tong Yao’s hand. When Tong Yao realized it, she scrambled to block the screen from his view but it was already too late-- --Lu Sicheng had a half-smile over his face: “You have this many thoughts just from one touch?”

Tong Yao had a crimson face and rushed to stand up from the bed. The sudden movement however seemed to trigger a cramp in her tummy and she fell back down immediately: “Go put your clothes on. What are you doing here?”

“Your stomach hurts?” Lu Sicheng bent over to look at her.

Tong Yao pushed his face away: “My head hurts more. Turn around, don’t look at me.”

Lu Sicheng noticed that Tong Yao’s eyebrows were knotted as if she was truly in pain and didn’t have the heart to keep teasing her. He patted her head and thought to himself that he should tell Xiao Rui later to change the dinner from Japanese food to Korean. There were a lot of raw and cold dishes in Japanese food which Tong Yao wasn’t suitable to eat as of now.

As he was pondering, he got dressed.

When he turned around, he saw Tong Yao was putting on the concealer on her neck in front of the mirror.

Five minutes later, Xiao Rui came to knock on the door under the urgies of all the famished team players. Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng walked out the room one after the other.

Xiao Rui: “Are you two making a little fella in there? Took you long enough!”

Lu Sicheng lifted his wrist to check his watch: “One hour.”

Xiao Rui: “Isn’t it long?”

Lu Sicheng gave Xiao Rui a glance: “It takes you only an hour to make a little fella?”

Xiao Rui: “......”

Tong Yao kicked Lu Sicheng from behind.

When all of them came down the stairs and climbed into the bus, the sun was already setting and it was a little windy. Lu Sicheng turned his head to see Tong Yao was still wearing her short sleeved team uniform and shorts. He was afraid that she would catch a cold and offhandedly handed over his jacket to her.

Tong Yao didn’t think too much of it and took the jacket to put on herself. But when she turned her head, she noticed that there were several young girls not too far away who were aiming their cell phones in their direction-- --They probably had noticed the ZGDX bus parked there and had stayed there waiting for the teams to come out……

Tong Yao paused in the middle of pulling one of her arms through the sleeve.

At the same time, Lu Sicheng, who had already gone on the bus, wondered why Tong Yao hadn’t come on the bus. He turned around to grab the door frame and popped out half of his body to ask with a stone face: “What are you dilly-dallying for?”

Tong Yao took Lu Sicheng’s jacket off and held it in her arms. She looked up and spoke somewhat nervously: “There are fans over there who’ve seen us.”

Lu Sicheng looked to the side and easily saw the girls who had cell phones in hands. He was quiet for a moment, then looked back at Tong Yao to say flatly: “What if they’ve seen it. Put the jacket on, be careful not to catch a cold.”

“......”

Tong Yao tightly held Lu Sicheng’s jacket, hesitated, then under Lu Sicheng’s calm gaze, mustered enough courage to put the jacket on herself-- --

Lu Sicheng reached out with his hand. Tong Yao bit her lower lip, then grabbed that big hand and hopped onto the bus.

She could hear a little commotion coming from behind her the moment she stepped onto the bus.

She wasn’t bothered by it and didn’t even look back.

Chapter 112 Part 1

Tong Yao smoothed her hair and took a deep breath before opening the door to go knock on the door next door-- --Little Fatty answered the door. Xiao Rui and the rest of the team were all sitting inside the room chatting, talking about tomorrow’s rival and the possible lineups.

With just one look at Tong Yao, Little Fatty immediately used his wide body to block the doorway and asked: “Where’s the captain?”

As he was asking, he kept glancing at Tong Yao’s neck. Tong Yao could sense it. Flustered, she lifted her hand to cover her neck while keeping her voice steady: “He’s taking a shower and asked me to come get him underwear.”

“......” Little Fatty thought about it, then used a small voice which only the two of them could hear: “Red underwear, to celebrate?”

“Celebrate what?”

“He’s swallowed up esports most favorite girl…...turning from the esports most favorite daddy to esports most favorite son-in-law?” Little Fatty sighed: “What an animal!”

Tong Yao’s face turned crimson from embarrassment. She watched Little Fatty fish out a pair of blue jeans, a black t-shirt, and a pair of black underpants from Lu Sicheng’s suitcase. Little Fatty stuffed all the clothes into Tong Yao’s hands. With clothes in hand, Tong Yao whispered: “We didn’t do anything.”

“Have you taken a look of yourself in the mirror?”

“......”

“Go take a look.” Little Fatty said with an amiable look on his face: “If I were the captain, I wouldn’t want to let you go out of the room and be seen by any male creatures.”

Tong Yao suddenly remained deathly silent and dashed back to her own room with Lu Sicheng’s clothes in her arms. Before she left the doorway, she heard Xiao Rui asking: “What were you two mumbling about? How about the captain, is he going to shower for the rest of his life?” She didn’t really hear what Little Fatty said in reply since she had already returned to her own room and slammed the door shut with a loud thud.

Inside her room, there was only the noise of the running shower coming from the bathroom. Tong Yao brought over a small chair to place in front of the bathroom door with Lu Sicheng’s clothes on it. Then she sat cross legged on the bed, with her back to the bathroom door, and started playing on her cell phone-- --

[ZGDX, Smiling: Almost had a home run.]

[Night time angler-the crazy fisherman: …………………………..Where?]

[ZGDX, Smiling: In the hotel, on my bed. My period came in time to stop it.]

[Night time angler-the crazy fisherman: Your period is really something. My sympathy to my Cheng Ge……]

[ZGDX, Smiling: You’re missing the point. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, shame on you!]

[Night time angler-the crazy fisherman: What’s there to be shamed…...When I was at your age, that high school kid sneaked into my room in the middle of night and told me that he felt so down because he got the lowest grade on the finals. He promised he would just stay in the same bed with me and wouldn't do anything. In the end, he did everything for the whole night. The next day I went to his school and learned that he was always at the bottom of his class. To hell with his bad mood-- --]

[ZGDX, Smiling: I can’t imagine Ai Jia was like that before.]

[Night time angler-the crazy fisherman: Same here. These past few years, he’s so behaved that I even suspect that he’s having mental issues. I wake up everyday from sweet dreams and look forward to having him reach the legal age to marry me.]

[Night time angler-the crazy fisherman: I’m thinking that if Cheng Ge’s really reliable, there’s no harm to try him out…...In case he’s just pleasant to the eyes but of no real use-- --]

[ZGDX, Smiling: His is at least an iPhone 6.]

[Night time angler-the crazy fisherman: Length, width, and height?]

[ZGDX, Smiling: Width…...Ahhhhhhhhh, stop asking, stop asking!]

[Night time angler-the crazy fisherman: Shoot, you’re the one who used the metaphor. What are you ashamed about?]

[Night time angler-the crazy fisherman: Then length?]

[ZGDX, Smiling: A, a folding small ruler?]

[Night time angler-the crazy fisherman: ……………………………...Have you been to my school, my friend? The small folding ruler is at least 30 mm long! Are you kidding me? ! Does he wrap it around his waist while he’s walking?]

[ZGDX, Smiling:................. I’m just saying. It’s longer than a normal ruler anyway!]

[Night time angler-the crazy fisherman: Oh really, how do you know?]

[ZGDX, Smiling: Because I’ve touched……]

[ZGDX, Smiling: None of your business! ! ! !]

[Night time angler-the crazy fisherman: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!]

Amid Jinyang’s barrage of hearty laughter, the door to the bathroom opened.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 111 Part 3  

Lu Sicheng then heard something jump onto the floor and followed by the sounds of someone scurrying away……

“Where are you going? Why are you in a hurry, put on your shoes, the floor is cold……”

When he pulled the blanket off his head, Lu Sicheng frustratedly turned his body over and only had time to glimpse the back of a hurried Tong Yao with two naked legs rushing into the bathroom. She slammed the door shut the next second.

Lu Sicheng: “......”

He bent over to glance over the floor next to the bed, there was nothing on the floor…...He didn’t expect Tong Yao to be this swift and remember not to leave her clothing behind-- --His dark brown pupils flashed, then became quiet and moved to check the cell phone laying on the floor. In the cell phone, the video was showing CK moving up to RMB’s base. Yang god’s Kindred was destroying RMB’s nexus-- --

[RMB has no chance of fighting back. Let’s congratulate Team CK. Congratulations to Yang god and Butterfly for effortlessly winning this match!]

Lu Sicheng exitted the video and the room quieted down all of a sudden.

……

Three minutes later, Tong Yao, well dressed, came out of the bathroom with a still reddish face, still tidying her hair.

Lu Sicheng sat on the bed with legs crossed and looked at her with no expression on his face.

“You know that if you do this three or four more times, it’ll affect the quality of your life in the future?” Lu Sicheng said flatly: “Besides, this is the second time already.”

“......What?” Tong Yao swallowed the words she was about to say and looked at the man: “What quality of life?”

“Your sex life.”

“......”

“If I develop ED, it’s you who’s going to suffer.”

“I…...It’s not…..Gee.” Tong Yao raised her head: “Damn, no, it was Little Fatty last time. How can you blame me. This time, it’s a special case also. Who let you always choose the right moment. I said I have a tummy ache and it feels like something’s not quite right but you have to insist that I’m looking for excuses. Actually, I already felt my tummy was kind of bloated when I was watching the B team’s game……”

“Wasn’t it because you wanted to go to the bathroom?”

“No.” Tong Yao: “Hehe, it’s that time of every month.”

Lu Sicheng: “.............................................”

He felt like he was almost going to lose it.

What he felt even more annoyed was that he didn’t know whom or where to take his frustration out on.

He stood up and didn’t bother hiding the little tent that was popping up from his shorts. He got off the bed and walked over to Tong Yao, who had turned her head away, too shy to look at him, and pat her head: “Go to my room to get a change of clothes for me.”

Tong Yao looked up at him with a confused look on her face.

“I’m going to take a shower.” Lu Sicheng said not so good-naturally. “Or are you coming to finish the job?”

When Tong Yao heard him talking about finishing the job, she suddenly seemed to understand. She subconsciously looked down at his crotch, then quickly looked up as if something had hurt her eyes. “I can’t finish the job. It’s doomed to be an incomplete job-- --”

Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed that the man was staring at her mouth.

Tong Yao abruptly stopped and calmed herself as best she could, but her face still became cherry red: “Don’t you even think about it. That’s too much.”

As she was speaking, she pushed the man into the bathroom and shut the door. Leaning against the bathroom door, Tong Yao, with a face as red as an apple, asked with a broad smile: “What color underpants does our captain want to wear today?”

There were five seconds of silence inside the bathroom.

Then her captain’s low voice came from inside-- --

“Get lost.”

Those Sweet Times

Chapter 85 Part 4 

As soon as the first match began, the professional team’s mid suddenly openly said on public chat: Young lady of the other side, after the match, no matter who wins, could you leave your contact info? We can play games together in the future.  ^ _ ^

This was a rather funny thing to do during a match, even if it was only a privately held competition. How could anyone openly hit on a girl this way? How low was this person’s EQ? Was he treating this match as a solo queue game?

In the bullet comments, people were already criticizing the streamer’s lack of sportsmanship, being disrespectful to other players. But there were also others who supported him, saying that friendship comes first before the competition, the guy wasn’t trolling anyone.

Lin Chuyan coldly replied: Is this how a professional team plays?

The bullet comments exploded. It coincided with the rumor which had been circling around earlier. Now even a participant had come out to confirm it himself. It was even more convincing now that it was a professional team pretending to be a streamer’s team. Though there were still some people who didn't think so. They believed it was because Chu god knew that his team couldn’t win this match and was trying to find an excuse in advance. It wouldn’t look too bad to lose to a professional team than to a streamer’s team.

In the midst of all uproar, the match really began.

Xiang Nuan’s team didn’t play too well this match. Lin Chuyan, annoyed due to the fact his girlfriend had been teased, was a little distracted. Though he didn’t even notice the delicate change in his own mindset, his performance was indeed affected by it.

Chen Yinghu’s coordination with his teammates was a little bit off as well-- --This had been an issue for a while. He was used to playing solo and all of his map sense was trained on playing solo. It was easy for him to play independent of the others.

In addition, Shen Zemu wasn’t in his best condition either; he died twice to enemy tower dives.

Xiang Nuan was playing well at first, but after her other teammates started to fall behind, she wasn’t able to hold her own ground either……

After losing the first match, everyone was blaming themselves.

“There was only one person who was the problem.” Yang Yin said: “Lin Chuyan. It was you who messed up your rhythm first which sidetracked Chen Yinghu, making him lose his rhythm. Because you two started messing up, Shen Zemu was just a chain reaction.”

Lin Chuyan pursed the corner of his lips and said: “En. I’m sorry.”

“No need to apologize. What I’m trying to say is don’t put all your attention on Nuannuan all the time. Don’t tell me that you think you can protect her all the time?”

Xiang Nuan was taken aback and sneaked a peek at Lin Chuyan. Then she touched his hand and said: “Actually, I can protect you well.”

Lin Chuyan’s heart was warmed by the soft touch of Xiang Nuan’s hand: “En.”

Chapter 111 Part 2

[Butterfly hides in the bushes and ambushes RMB’s jungler! Well, you shouldn’t have gone there, brother, you don’t have any wards there! It’s over, it’s over, he can’t get away-- --Alright, RMB’s jungler was caught. Now all of CK is moving towards the Baron…...It’ll be a last ditch fight for Speedy Star now! Yang god! Yang god! Will Yang god be able to nab Baron? And let your Kindred be like Smiling’s Syndra and make a comeback to professional competitions!]

Tong Yao buried her face in the pillow without realizing that her position now looked more like she was catering to the movement of the man behind her-- --

“Never mind that commentator talking about Yang god,” Lu Sicheng’s middle finger hooked up the edge of Tong Yao’s underpants and explored inside; his fingertip deliberately or inadvertently touched her groin: “but why does he have to mention you together with him?”

“I, I don’t know.”

Tong Yao reached over to grab Lu Sicheng’s wrist, trying to stop him. But her strength was no match to his-- --In the end, she had to release his arm and let him do whatever he wished……

A brief sobbing sound came from the bright red face buried in the pillow. It wasn’t clear whether she was actually crying or just too nervous-- --

There was only the sound from the cell phone.

The volume on the phone was set to the maximum and continued to spew commentary about the game. The commentators were shouting, the cheering from the audience was nonstop; the brilliant performance of CK’s jungler had swept the audience off their feet……

But on the bed, there was only a rustling sound coming from under the bulging blanket.

Evidently the people under the cover weren’t afraid of the heat from the blanket on a sizzling hot summer day.

Next to the bed was a pair of shorts. Next to the shorts, there was a pair of small pink striped underpants resting there…...From inside the cover, there came from time to time brief sobbing sounds. Once in a while, a protest or short conversation in low voices came from under the blanket-- --

“You can’t…..Ah, don’t look!”

“It’s so dark, what can I see?”

“Your hand, behave…...Eek!”

“Relax, my hand hasn’t even………………….Does it hurt?”

“It hurts.”

“Bear with it?”

“It really hurts, I can’t bear with it.”

“You know, at a time like this I can totally ignore your stubbornness.”

“......”

“It won’t help you by grabbing my hands.”

“......”

The blanket shook a little.

Under the blanket, the silhouette of a body humped up like a gopher and moved closer to the other taller silhouette. The two silhouettes moved a bit. The shorter one got close to the taller one and the two silhouettes became one-- --

“......”

The man leaned slightly back to enjoy the first kiss that Tong Yao initiated which somewhat gave off the feeling that she was begging for mercy. Lu Sicheng’s big hands once more took the chance to reach into Tong Yao’s disheveled top and propped her slightly jiggly bosoms upwards……

He could feel Tong Yao’s hands, which were around his neck, trembling lightly.

As Lu Sicheng was just about to say something, Tong Yao suddenly froze, her body paused-- --Before he had figured out what had happened, the tip of Tong Yao’s small and moist tongue had already backed out of his mouth. In the darkness, Tong Yao lightly bit his lower lip and used weak chuckles in an apologetic but happy way.

Then Tong Yao lifted the blanket to cover her captain’s face.

She pushed him backwards.

Caught off guard, Lu Sicheng fell backwards with the blanket wrapped around him. At the same time he fell, the person in his arms had pulled herself away from his body-- --

Those Sweet Times

Chapter 85 Part 3

The matches on May 2nd went smoothly for Xiang Nuan’s team. That night, Lin Chuyan took a break streaming and the whole team gathered in the villa to do some extra training. To his surprise, several streamers from Pea TV sent messages to wish his team good luck. It looked like the news about them turning down the platform’s offer had already spread.

They trained well into the night and decided to stay in the villa for the night since there were a lot of rooms in the house.

Yang Yin didn’t go to sleep after their training. She stayed in her room studying over and over the stats she had on that professional team from the only three matches they had played so far. The junior team from Invincible didn’t use any fancy tactics and all the champions they picked were normal. When their opponents saw the line up, they could immediately figure out how to counter the professional team. But the professional team had a much stronger foundation in their basic skills and training, they wouldn’t be afraid if their opponents saw through their plans.

The tricky part was that it was difficult to find the weak point in their strategy.

Yang Yin kept reading and analyzing until two o’clock in the morning. She grew thirsty and went to the kitchen to pour herself a cup of water. She happened to glance outside the window and saw a man sitting next to the table in the garden.

The man had short hair and was wearing a white shirt. His right elbow rested on the table with a random angle. Right between his index and middle fingers there was a lit cigarette, a streak of smoke rose from the tip of the cigarette.

Yang Yin, with cup in hand, slightly raised her eyebrows; she didn’t expect to see such a good student smoking.

-- --

Xiang Nuan was excited and nervous at the same time. She was finally going to have a fight 

against a professional team! Though it was just a junior team, it was nonetheless a professional team!

Yang Yin said: “It seems all five of them have good fighting spirit. Their support and top are the strongest amongst the group. Today’s match we have to pay special attention to one particular champion; we can’t let them have that champion, absolutely not.”

Xiang Nuan asked: “Is it Hua Mulan?”

“No, it’s Guan Yu. The Invincible A team has a player who’s the best Guan Yu in the major league. So their junior team must be very familiar with Guan Yu. They hadn’t used Guan Yu in the previous 6 matches. It’s very possible that they’re saving it for today to use in the final match and catch us off guard. Even if we don’t consider that fact, Guan Yu is a difficult champion to control to begin with and usually causes chaos on the map. An excellent Guan Yu paired with an excellent commander will usually bring disaster to the opponent on the battlefield.”

Xiang Nuan nodded as she listened, fighting the urge to find a notebook to take notes.

“Certainly, if we can get Hua Mulan, we still have to grab her.” Yang Yin added.

Later on, Yang Yin explained a few other things that they had to be careful with. Then they started their training before the final match.

The match officially started at 4 o'clock that afternoon.

It was during the holidays and the stream room was crowded, with over a millions of viewers. There were some famous streamers among the audience and people from the professional circle. The esports circle was a niche market and news spread quickly. Many heard the incident earlier and came to spectate.

Some outspoken streamers even started to imply Penguin TV on their social media posts, stirring up dispute from fans from different camps.

Manager Wang had actually had a prepared press release ready. Once Penguin TV’s professional team won the final match, it would be released by the marketing people. It would have sounded like the organizer was congratulating the team, but it was written to subtly suggest to people to think otherwise.

Though the Pea TV would lose the championship, it couldn’t be defeated for nothing.

Chapter 111 Part 1

Lu Sicheng picked Tong Yao up and placed her on the bed. The cell phone which was on the edge of the bed sprang up and fell onto the ground, making a loud thud as the commentary continued to come from the phone-- --

[Yang god will definitely be the MVP for this match. It wouldn’t make sense if it’s not him.]

Tong Yao scrambled to try to get up from the bed, but Lu Sicheng had already reached over to push her head back onto the bed with his big hand. In the meantime Xiao Rui was knocking on the door: “What happened? I heard something fall? Are you alright?”

Tong Yao cried out: “Ah.” Lu Sicheng happened to come closer and lick her lower lip like a dog at the same time. Tong Yao had goosebumps all over her body and shouted with a hoarse voice: “I’m alright, I’m alright. My cell phone fell onto the ground…...I’m changing now!”

The man outside the door acknowledged with an ‘oh’ without any suspicions. A muffled laughter came from the man on top of her, as if he was enjoying seeing Tong Yao being petrified that Xiao Rui might open her door……

If he had, he would’ve seen one of Tong Yao’s legs was bent up on the bed and Lu Sicheng’s torso was locked right between her two legs…...It was summer time and all the players were wearing the short sleeved team uniform top but not the long dark colored team pants. Instead, they all wore loose shorts. The bottom of the shorts on her bent up leg had fallen downwards and the fair skin of her thigh was readily visible. As he was looking down, Lu Sicheng could faintly see the edge of a lighter colored fabric……

[With that pentakill, Yang god’s essentially taken complete control over the game-- --Actually, I think this is a good thing. Just like Smiling’s Syndra. Here we can tell all the other players, don’t be superstitious about champions. As long as the champion is used properly, any champion is usable.]

One of Lu Sicheng’s hands was pressed down on Tong Yao’s tummy, while his other hand had reached into her shorts. The tips of his long and lean fingers had already touched the edge of her underpants-- --

Tong Yao shuddered and offhandedly grabbed the pillow next to her head and smashed it into Lu Sicheng’s head!

Lu Sicheng took the pillow and threw it to the side. He lowered his body again with a smile and kissed her lips. His big hand easily went into Tong Yao’s uniform top and reached up to hold onto her soft bosom……

“Wu……”

Tong Yao, who hadn’t been talking thus far, grabbed another pillow to cover her own face.

Lu Sicheng used his other hand to remove the pillow: “It’s dirty.”

Tong Yao’s hair was disheveled and the corners of her eyes were reddish. She stared at Lu Sicheng and said: “It’s not dirty.”

Lu Sicheng lowered his head to kiss the corner of her eye and said: “Don’t cover your face, let me look at you.”

Tong Yao’s red face suddenly began growing even redder, so red that it looked that her blood would seep through her skin. She lifted her foot trying to kick Lu Sicheng off her body. But he got ahold of her ankle with ease and with just a slight effort turned her over-- --

[Come to think of it, it was after Smiling started to use Syndra that more people began using her…...I remember back when she first came out on the Korean server that people were using her in ranked matches. But the competition at the time was on an older version of the game-- --Our Smiling is surpassing the versions, hahaha!]

Lu Sicheng’s big hand slid around, the girl who the commentator just mentioned briefly gasped……

“Don’t, Lu Sicheng.” Tong Yao felt that Lu Sicheng had lifted the blanket to cover both of their bodies. She grasped his big hand: “My tummy hurts, not that normal stomach ache. It seems that something isn’t right……”

Her voice was quite pathetic.

It seemed that at that moment, it wasn’t good enough.

“Is heaven going to collapse?”

“......No.”

“Then you can’t get away with it today.”

“........................................”

The big hand which was on her chest moved away. But before Tong Yao could breath out a sigh of relief, she felt a series of kisses landed on the back of her neck-- --The man’s breath became heavy; his big hand reached in from behind and caressed Tong Yao’s buttocks over her underpants……

His fingertips seemed to be unintentionally lifting the edge of the underpants and reached inside. 

Tong Yao shuddered.

Chapter 110 Part 3

While Little Fatty was covering for him, Lu Sicheng threw his cell phone onto the bed. The video that he had paused earlier started playing again-- --The loud sound of the video inside the room mixed with the noise outside of the room. Lu Sicheng stretched his hand and pulled Tong Yao into his arms.

Tong Yao now sat on his lap and before she had time to ask what he was doing, her lower lip was already between Lu Sicheng’s teeth-- --Tong Yao started to feel the tip of the tongue of the man brushing against her teeth. Willingly, she slightly parted her teeth to let his tongue reach in……

[Looks like there’s a team fight at bot, CK’s Yang god-- --Yang god’s finally decided to go after bot! Come Good Luck’s teleporting! What speed! Ah, Speedy Star can’t escape this time! They have no consideration for their old teammate’s feelings!]

Amid the loud commentary coming from the cell phone, their team manager was still looking for their captain to rush him to finish his shower more quickly.

Xiao Rui didn’t know that the person he was looking for was sitting behind one of the doors with the team’s mid in his arms. His kisses had made the mid’s hands and feet feel like jelly, her heartbeat to quicken, and her face to redden. Lu Sicheng let go of her lips, then started to kiss her pinkish earlobe and the kisses kept going downwards……

Lu Sicheng stuck out his tongue to gnaw at the old red mark he had left on Tong Yao’s neck, which was exposed after Tong Yao washed her face as she hadn’t had time to put on concealer again-- --

It was a little itch on her neck, Tong Yao tried to avoid him and lowered her voice to say bashfully: “Wait, wait, they’re all outside, hey……”

[Speedy Star knows that he can’t escape, he flashed to try take down Butterfly-- --What strong animosity, if I’m going to die, then I’ll take you with me-- --Butterfly is probably rather shocked, hahahhahaha, Butterfly is going to die! Ahhhhh, Yang god saved Butterfly with his ultimate! Who said Kindred couldn’t be used? It all depends on who’s using it-- --Yang god gets a kill!]

Amid the shouting commentators and Tong Yao’s weak protest, Lu Sicheng’s slightly cool hand, from being in an airconditioned room for too long, had already wormed its way under Tong Yao’s clothes. This time he didn’t hesitate for too long; after caressing her tummy for a little, the hand moved upwards-- --Tong Yao was tightly secured between his arms. The only thing she could do was to give a little cry when his finger hooked up the edge of her bra and the big hand touched her bosom……

Tong Yao grabbed his hand. Under her, separated only by the thin fabric of summer pants, she seemed to have sensed the dangerous change in temperature in the man……

[Yang god is chasing after their weakened support, Trundle. Actually, Trundle is still rather tanky, but don’t bother running kid. You’re facing a level 9 Kindred with 8 kills and just got a quadra kill……]

Tong Yao’s breath was unsteady, her face was bright red, and even the corners of her eyes had turned into the same color as the eyes of a rabbit…...She fixed her eyes on the handsome face and asked in a whisper: “What exactly are you doing? They’re all out there, looking for you, what’s wrong with you?”

As she was saying, she moved her butt to try to get up.

“Don’t move.” Lu Sicheng’s voice was hoarse and lifted the hand which was resting on Tong Yao’s lap to pat her bottom: “In a little while, you’ll have to go find that Dubhe kid and do some training rounds with him. He just lashed out at me today and I still have to send my girl to do counseling with him-- --”

[Pentakill! Yang god! Jian Yang! He has given the second brilliant pentakill to us on the first day of the Demacia Cup!]

Lu Sicheng’s hand didn’t move away from Tong Yao’s bottom.

[Yang god’s taken all the spoils from this team fight.]

“-- --I’m not happy.”

He opened his mouth, with dull eyes, and said briefly as if to come to a conclusion.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 110 Part 2

Commentator A: [This is a fateful battle, CK’s Butterfly against RMB’s Speedy Star. From the beginning of the match, they’re already in a tense situation. Despite everyone being at level one, they still want to gank……]

Commentator B: [To tell the truth, I haven’t heard any news about Speedy Star for quite some time now-- --Such a veteran player.]

Commentator A: [I heard that CK was planning to buy Speedy Star back this year. They said that even if he’s going to retire, they will let him retire from CK-- --Many old CK fans were quite moved by the team’s gesture, but Speedy Star turned down the invitation.]

Commentator B: [If it’s me, I wouldn’t want to go back either. It’s been so many years and why did he have to leave at the time? It would be a pity if he came back now without making something for himself? Though the team he’s working with now…...]

The second commentator sighed.

The two commentators had been quite diplomatic when talking about Speedy Star’s past. Tong Yao came out of the bathroom to stand behind Lu Sicheng to take a look at the video. Speedy Star’s farming was as smooth as he was during the training match the other day. He was using Kog’Maw as his champion and it’s tail was wagging slightly.

Tong Yao: “Hey, this Kog’Maw…...his tail is wagging.”

-- --Kog’Maw wagging its tail was caused by animations constantly being restarted due to the player’s quickly starting the animation. Even in the current major league, there were no more than 4 ads who could make Kog’Maw’s tail wag……

In the current version of the game, ads weren’t very strong in the early game. The ad had to rely on his teammates to pull through the early game then he could stand out in the late game and take control. RMB as a team was depending solely on its ad. When they met a strong opponent, the team would collapse before Speedy Star was able to take control of the game.

That was exactly what had happened in this video-- --

It was still in the laning phase, except bot lane was barely break even, all the other two lanes were on shaky ground and looked like they would be smashed soon……

A player like Speedy Star playing with teammates who weren’t at the same level as him was really a waste and misuse of his talents.

Tong Yao: “This Speedy Star is really good. Butterfly won’t have an easy time against him.”

Lu Sicheng: “He was even sharper before. Butterfly definitely wasn’t his rival at that time. Now he’s a little slow-- --In a club with only a junior team, the management and operations of the team will always be a bit inferior…...Though the management of most clubs in this country is pretty bad.”

Tong Yao reached out from behind Lu Sicheng to turn off the video. The room suddenly quieted down: “It’s not alright. If Little Dubhe went to another junior team now, he’ll end up just like this……”

“He probably won’t even fare as well as Speedy Star. He’s only a work-in-progress now. Maybe he’ll be really strong later, but it also depends on what kind of environment he’s in-- --” Lu Sicheng cast his eyes down to conceal the faint smile in his eyes: “But no one can stop him if he really wants to leave. It’s impossible for ZGDX to play the relegation matches and his B team won’t be able to move up to the major league, therefore all he can do in the future is to keep yelling that he wants to beat me. Then maybe he’ll meet me in the Demacia Cup and get destroyed-- --”

“....................................How can you be so evil?”

Lu Sicheng chuckled: “There’s something even more evil.”

He was sitting on the couch in Tong Yao’s room.

Outside the room, Xiao Rui was walking back and forth asking Little Fatty what he wanted to eat tonight. Xiao Rui yelled: “Why don’t you ask the captain? Where’s the captain?”

“Oh.” The league’s first support flatly answered: “He’s taking a shower.”

Chapter 85 Part 2

Yang Yin nodded: “Since Team Invincible has a business relation with the Dolphin TV, it would be hard for Invincible to turn down the request from Dolphin. It’s very likely these players are from Invincible’s B team…...Well, was this what the manager from Pea TV wanted to talk to you about? Was there anything else?”

“Yes, they wanted to do the same thing that Invincible's doing.”

“Explain.”

“......They also want to hire a professional team to play the Cup. They want me to hand them my account and they plan to give us the award money if the team wins.”

Pea TV was a major platform and had signed contracts with three professional teams. It wasn’t hard for them to find a replacement team.

When Yang Yin heard this, she pondered for a while then asked Lin Chuyan: “How did you reply?”

“I said I’ll think it over.”

“How about you guys?” Yang Yin glanced at the other teammates: “What do you all think?”

Xiang Nuan was the first to raise her hand: “I disagree. I think that it’d be cheating. Other people cheat, why do we have to do the same?”

“I think we can agree to it.” Chen Yinghu said right afterwards: “We can get the money without any hard work. Where do you normally find such a deal?”

“I agree with Xiang Nuan.” Lin Chuyan said.

Chen Yinghu asked: “Why?”

“Because she’s my girlfriend.”

“Could you please stand on your own ground?”

“My girlfriend is my ground. Why can’t I?”

Chen Yinghu despised him: “The IQ of a person in love is in the negatives.”

Yang Yin said: “I also agree with Xiang Nuan.”

“Why, Yin Jie?”

“Because she’s cute.”

“......”

Shen Zemu said: “I also agree with Xiang Nuan.”

Chen Yinghu turned his head to look at his cousin and asked without much expression: “Why, cousin, is it also because she’s cute?”

Once he said that, he realized that he had been impudent. It was quite an awkward moment. Lin Chuyan was staring at him. He pretended that he didn’t notice and looked the other way.

Then his own cousin said: “I’m just saying it to go against you.”

Chen Yinghu: =  =

Why did his cousin hate him?

No matter what the reason was, the majority of the team agreed to reject the suggestion. The matter was settled and they all agreed that they wouldn’t give the account away.

Lin Chuyan called Manager Wang back to relay the message. Manager Wang didn’t expect that they would reject the offer. He kept trying to persuade Lin Chuyan with all sorts of offers but to no avail. In the end, Manager Wang even promised Lin Chuyan that if his team won the Cup, the platform would give them an extra fifty thousand on top of the award money.

The fifty thousand RMB was the budget the platform had allocated to handle this emergency incident. The funds were meant to pay for the professional team replacement. Manager Wang had the right to dispose of the money as he deemed fit.

After the negotiations, Manager Wang looked at his cell phone and almost burst into tears. He had never met anyone like Lin Chuyan and didn’t know how to report back to his boss……

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 110 Part 1

To Tong Yao’s surprise, when both Lu Sicheng and Dubhe went back to the break room after the awkward encounter, both of them showed good self-control, pretending nothing had ever happened……

It was especially evident when Lu Sicheng asked Dubhe whether Dubhe had put in extra effort the past couple of days practicing Jinx given his good performance today. Tong Yao felt that her captain truly deserved an Oscar.

Dubhe nodded, not surprising at all, and looked up at Lu Sicheng with a stone face: “I played a custom game by myself to practice farming to get the feel of it. I don’t need to memorize the damage at each level since I got used to it after trying it out once-- --I felt that I could handle her in today’s match, so I asked the coach to let me take Jinx for a spin today.”

Tong Yao: “......”

Tong Yao felt that he also deserved an Oscar.

In addition, it had taken her a whole night to practice farming with Azir plus she had used Lu Yue’s account to practice quite a few rounds before she could play Azir decently…...Dubhe’s words were quite annoying to Tong Yao’s ears.

At the same time, all the other players surrounded them all felt the same as Tong Yao-- --Yet, everyone could see that Dubhe played really well today. There was nothing anyone could say about Dubhe’s pretentiousness-- --Little Fatty giggly patted Dubhe’s shoulder and said: “Well, well, genius ad teenager.” Lu Sicheng simply nodded and said: “Not bad.” Then he put the earbuds into his ears without saying anything more about it.

When Lu Sicheng got on the bus, he took out his cell phone and saw someone was trying to stir up trouble on WeChat-- --

[Rabbit holds tight of carrots: I thought you were going to answer: I don’t need to practice and I won’t miss any minions…...Or at least saying: Oh, just like me.]

Lu Cicheng: “......”

[fhdjwhdb2333: What Dubhe said in front of the restroom, there’s at least one thing he got right.]

Tong Yao, who was sitting at the front, stretched her head out above the armrest and took a look silently at the man in the very last row. Lu Sicheng paused for a second, then looked down to continue typing-- --

[fhdjwhdb2333: Old men are kinder. If an old man like me has to haggle everything with kids like you guys, then I would have wasted all the rice that I’d eaten before you all those years.]

Tong Yao stared at the word, kinder, and didn’t think too much into it. All she could think of was that after training matches, if any of her teammates had made a mistake, everyone would be scared just by the mention of the name ‘Lu Sicheng.’ She offhandedly replied on WeChat: “Oh, hahahahahahaha.”

…...At the moment, Tong Yao had overlooked one thing. That Lu Sicheng, in addition to being their teammate, was also one of their bosses-- --

The fact that Lu Sicheng was one of the owners of ZGDX meant that when he discovered that Dubhe had contacted another club privately to discuss switching clubs outside the normal transfer window, he had the absolute right and a valid reason to punish Dubhe-- --By convention, all major league clubs would severely punish a player for this kind of betrayal; the lightest could be a pay deduction plus suspension for one season, a more severe one could be impounding the player’s contract and suspending him from playing any games till he was past his prime.

Yet, Lu Sicheng didn’t do any of that.

Even though he knew Dubhe wasn’t very friendly towards him and Dubhe did have the ability to threaten his own position, he still didn’t do anything and pretended as if he didn’t know anything about it.

……

When they went back to the hotel, Lu Sicheng sat inside Tong Yao’s room watching the video of the game between the junior league RMB Team and the CK Team. He had turned the sound way up-- --Even as Tong Yao who was washing her face and hands inside the bathroom, she could still hear very clearly all the exchanges between the two commentators…...
