You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 65 Part 1

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 65 Part 1

Tong Yao felt quite uneasy for quite a while and couldn’t relax until the plane had taken off…...This wasn’t the first time she’d sat so close to Lu Sicheng, but it was totally different from the previous times. Before she confessed to Jinyang, she had never considered Lu Sicheng as a potential target whom she would develop a crush on.

-- --She had suddenly realized Lu Sicheng’s gender.

She had mentioned her sudden realization to Jinyang, who mercilessly laughed at her.

After the plane had reached its cruising altitude, the flight attendant announced that passengers could now use their electronic devices. In order to distract herself from focusing on Lu Sicheng’s presence right next to her, Tong Yao turned on her iPad to watch videos of Red Arrow’s past competitions-- --The predecessor to Red Arrow was a team called “Assassin Corps,” which was disbanded after the team failed to win the world championship and was reorganized into Red Arrow. Only one member of the original team, their top, stayed on to join Red Arrow. Red Arrow was able to keep its position in the major league without much difficulty, but they failed to get into the world competition again and again. Each time, the team missed by a whisker.

Last year, the only original member of “Assassin Corps” announced his retirement-- --

He left when the team had just lost its chance to compete in the world tournament. He left with a lot of regret and humiliation. To be more exact, he was actually driven out by Red Arrow fans from many comments like: “senior”, “old Top”, or “holding the team back”......

The funny thing was that Red Arrow hadn’t performed any better after the departure of their Top. In this year’s Spring Tournament, the team had barely made it into the playoffs and none of those internet trolls stepped up to take responsibility for the poor performance of the team.

“......”

Tong Yao rested her chin on one of her hands and looked up at Ming god, who was sitting in the row in front of them forcing Old K and Old Cat to study Red Arrow’s stats-- --

Not every professional player could retire at the height of his career like Ming god did, being sent off with cheers and applause…...Most players, who were once at the top, would gradually slow down and drop down and become substitutes. By the time most fans had forgotten about him and his name only appeared when the fans were mocking him, he would suddenly post on Weibo announcing his retirement. The post would be reposted hundreds or thousands of times, yet no one would mention it the next day.

It was the reality of professional esports.

Tong Yao wiped her face and turned to talk to Lu Sicheng: “Captain, what will you do after you retire?”

“Coach. If there’s no more games, I’ll go home to work at my family’s company-- --Every year, my dad burns incense and makes offerings to Buddha wishing Riot Games would go bankrupt the next day.” Lu Sicheng replied without thinking. “Why?”

“......I’m watching Ghost Constellation’s game videos.”

“Ghost Constellation was forced to retire last year. At the critical moment in their last match, he didn’t use teleport well and sent the whole team to their graves.” Lu Sicheng said: “Actually, the move wasn’t bad, but his state of mind had gone awry.”

“It’s all because of those internet trolls.”

“To play professionally, it’s not enough to be skilled and win games. Sometimes, the player himself has to have the self-awareness-- --when to listen, when not to; what to do, and what not to.”

“Oh. Why are you suddenly lecturing me about the human state of mind.”

“......”

“En?” Tong Yao raised her eyebrows.

Lu Sicheng met her curious eyes for a while, then lightly smiled and flicked her forehead: “It’s nothing. I’m just afraid that you’ll be destroyed by those trolls before you have the chance to shine in this profession, little girl.”

Tong Yao: “......”

Her forehead didn’t hurt.

But Tong Yao still covered her forehead with her hand and shrunk her head back. She was lightly blushing and only two words flew across her mind like bullet comments: Little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl, little girl……

It was a sinful flirting.

Those Sweet Times - Chapter 50 Part 3

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



Those Sweet Times
Chapter 50 Part 3

Many guests had paid a visit to Lin Chuyan’s family and his father had asked him to entertain the guests. All the guests gave him high praises which embarrassed Lin Chuyan.

Finally, Lin Xueyue let him go back to his own room and he was immediately on his cell phone again and saw Xiang Nuan chatting with Yang Yin.

Lin Chuyan had heard Chen Yinghu mention Yang Yin before. She dropped out of school when she was 16 to become a professional player, though it was for a different game. This year she suddenly became a Kings of Glory coach. She had just found a new job but lost it when she accidentally broke the hand of the team’s boss.

It was a sad story.

Lin Chuyan didn’t join the chat right away. He watched Yang Yin brag in the chat group about her experience in the esports world. Xiang Nuan began to idolize Yang Yin as the conversation went on.

Lin Chuyan could almost see a fluffy tail growing out of Xiang Nuan’s back, waggling.

He shook his head, smiled, and joined in the chat.

Lin Chuyan: How are you, Coach. I’m Lin Chuyan, I’m a mage.

Yang Yin: How are you, Chuyan. Little Tiger has told me about you. You’re Nuannuan’s boyfriend, right?

Xiang Nuan: No.

Shen Zemu: No.

Watching those two messages, the smile on Lin Chuyan’s face slowly disappeared.

He deleted the words he had already typed and changed it to: Hu Ge was just joking.

After seeing Lin Chuyan’s message, Xiang Nuan suddenly realized something: Yin Jiejie, you were recommended by Hu Ge?

Yang Yin: That’s right.

Xiang Nuan: It’s so cute to call him Little Tiger, hahahaha! I also would like to call Hu Ge Little Tiger……

The topic had change to Hu Ge. It seemed that Lin Chuyan was the only one who cared about the misunderstanding earlier. To other people it was just like a breeze blowing through, leaving not a trace behind.

Lin Chuyan looked at Xiang Nuan’s new messages, smiled, then felt a little sad.

How important, exactly, was he in Xiang Nuan’s mind? He was behind Kings of Glory, behind Shen Zemu, maybe even behind Hu Ge or Oblivion. Now he couldn’t even compete with this new coach whom she had just met?

Lin Chuyan sighed, leaned against the headboard of his bed, and continued watching the chat.

Xiang Nuan asked: Yin Jiejie, where are you from?

Yang Yin: My hometown is in C province, but I’m living in Nanshan City now.

Xiang Nuan: What a coincidence. I’m going to university in Nanshan. We all are. Lin Chuyan’s family lives in Nanshan City as well.

Xiang Nuan: Say something, Lin Chuyan.

Lin Chuyan: Say what?

Xiang Nuan: Anything. Oh, right, I saw something interesting today.

Xiang Nuan: [picture] [picture]

Xiang Nuan: The shopping center here is having a Kings of Glory competition, 10,000 RMB for the winner. I really wish I could play. #Starry-eyed#

Lin Chuyan: Then go play.

Xiang Nuan: Haha, I can’t. I need a whole team. Unless you can come up with four teammates for me?

Lin Chuyan: Sure.

Starlight Has No Past - Chapter 37 Part 3

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.


Starlight Has No Past
Chapter 37 Part 3

Grandma grumbled outside: “When did they go out? Why haven’t they come back after such a long time?”
Auntie Zong replied: “They’ve been out for half an hour now. They’ll probably be back soon. Qianxi hasn’t gotten up yet, should I go get her so we can all have breakfast together?”
As grandma mumbled an en, the door to Ye Qiao’s room suddenly jolted with a loud thud. It became unusually quiet outside Ye Qiao’s door.

Zhou Tingsheng went blank, trying to discern the direction of the footsteps outside. He grew more and more tense as they drew closer, until they finally stopped right at the other side of the door.
Someone lightly tapped the door a couple of times and called her name in a low voice: “Qiaoqiao?”
Grandma’s voice seemed too weak to get a response from inside. Then Auntie Zong gave the door three hard knocks and called her: “Girl, are you up yet?”

Ye Qiao was taken aback by the sudden voice and almost lost her balance. The two outside the door didn’t hear a response inside, but they could clearly hear someone gasp at the other side of the door.
The sound of the gasp accompanied by the long, suppressed sigh from a man.

Shocked, grandma began to suspect that perhaps she had just imagined the noise. She looked at Auntie Zong, seeing the stupefied expression on the latter’s face. Grandma realized that she hadn’t imagined it. Auntie Zhong was embarrassed and blushed. She waved her hands and stammered a few words: “Well, no one answered our call. It’s probably the wind…...Shall I get Qianxi first? She likes to sleep in and won’t make it to breakfast if I don’t call her now.”
It was probably the first time in grandma’s seventy plus years of life that she’d ever encountered such a situation. She gave a stilted reply: “Alright, alright.”

However, they didn’t expect Qianxi had gotten out of bed early this morning out of excitement. She ran up the stairs, hungry: “Auntie Zong, why is there no breakfast yet?”
The two elders looked quite uneasy. One replied: “It’s almost done, almost done. Only the porridge isn’t done yet. Go wait at the dinner table.” The other said: “Don’t rush up the stairs like that. Be careful or you’ll fall.” Both ladies dragged Qianxi downstairs, nagging her all the while.
Facing two human walls, Qianxi was forced to step back down the stairs as if there was an evil spirit or ghost behind the two. Qianxi was terribly confused: “......”

When Ye Qiao came down, she saw Qianxi sitting at the table with a black cloud over her head.
Qianxi dug her brain trying to figure out what had happened this morning. She didn’t think she had done anything wrong to irritate her grandma. She concluded that it was probably because she had gotten up too early and grandma happened to get up on the wrong side of the bed. It was just bad luck for her!

After Zhou Tingsheng came downstairs, he went to the kitchen to wash a basket full of winter jujube. He sat down right next to Ye Qiao and picked a jujube to feed her. Ye
Qiao gave him a look and refused. Zhou Tingsheng forced the jujube into her mouth.
Qianxi didn’t expect to see something so intimate between the two and took her own bowl and shifted to a seat further away.

The sour taste of the jujube irritated Ye Qiao’s sensitive teeth. She frowned: “It’s sour.” Zhou Tingsheng caught the jujube Ye Qiao spit out and handed her a glass of milk. Ye Qiao didn’t want to drink the milk and gave him a stare. Zhou Tingsheng innocently said: “Sure you don’t want to drink it? It works better than water.” Ye Qiao coldly said: “Take it away.” But the sour taste lingered in her mouth and she grabbed Qianxi’s orange juice and drank it.
Qianxi watched a hand swiftly take her orange juice away before she could react to it. She widened her eyes-- --it’s so unfair!

Zhou Tingsheng chuckled and took out a few jujubes from the basket, then pushed the whole basket to Qianxi: “You want some?”
Qianxi took the bribe and started to eat jujubes while taking a few sneaky glances at her cousin.
Somehow she felt like everyone in this house this morning wasn’t acting normally.

Starlight Has No Past
Chapter 37 Part 2

Zhou Tingsheng could see Ye Qiao’s mischievous smile reflected in the clear part of the mirror. Rousing his suppressed desires, he clasped her waist from behind. His wet chest clung onto Ye Qiao’s dry and slightly cool back. She leaned forwards and mumbled her complain: “It’s wet……” Zhou Tingsheng pushed forwards, pushing the two of them against the washbasin. Ye Qiao had nowhere to hide, bent over to rinse her mouth, then scolded him: “I’m brushing my teeth. I’ll scream if you don’t stop.”

“Go ahead?” Zhou Tingsheng looked over her shoulder to meet her eyes in the mirror. His body heat from the hot shower made it feel like a sauna. Ye Qiao could see the desire in his eyes and quickly finished brushing her teeth. But neither of them had the confidence to continue.

Zhou Tingsheng knew very well he couldn’t act recklessly in this house. He reluctantly released Ye Qiao and turned around to get his clothes, then awkwardly left the bathroom.
The door to the bedroom was right outside the bathroom. He could already hear rustling outside the bedroom, someone was walking up the stairs.

Ye Qiao came out of the bathroom right after him and blocked Zhou Tingsheng’s path.
He forced a smile: “What are you coming out for? To watch me put on my clothes?”
Ye Qiao lightly clicked her tongue and stepped forward to give him an appeasement kiss. As their lips locked, both of them heard footfalls from the hallway. One set of footsteps sounded  slower and heavier than the other. Grandma was outside.

There were many rooms on the second floor and the steps seemed to go towards the other direction. Ye Qiao became bolder and pushed Zhou Tingsheng against the room door. She teased him: “Grandma is up. What do you think she would think if she goes downstairs and sees an empty guestroom?”
As if to validate her question, grandma happened to ask right then: “Where’s everyone? Auntie Zhong, have you seen them?”
Auntie Zhong’s voice came from further away: “I saw him this morning. It seems he went out for a jog.”

The conversation outside and Ye Qiao’s voice mixed in his ears. Zhou Tingsheng’s heart thumped like a beating drum. He was rather uneasy about the entire situation, but Ye Qiao didn’t seem to care. She continued, moving from the lips down to his neck, then further down.
The old lady’s suspicious voice came through the door again: “Both of them went out jogging?”
Grandma knew that it was a good thing for young people to get some exercise. But Ye Qiao was weak physically and didn’t have a habit of taking morning jogs. No wonder she was suspicious.
Auntie Zhong couldn’t be sure: “......It seems so.”

Ye Qiao lightly giggled and squatted down. She used her teeth to untie the bath towel on Zhou Tingsheng. Zhou Tingsheng’s muscles were tense and his hoarse voice didn’t sound like his own. Ye Qiao could hear him murmuring her nickname as a warning, but his voice carried a hint of his desires. She mischievously continued her teasing.

You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 64 Part 4

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 64 Part 4

On the way to the airport, Tong Yao had nothing else to do but check the posts on Tieba. All the posts were quite critical of the Obsidian team. Many commented that if Obsidian didn’t really want to win the competition, the team shouldn’t have stayed in the major league. There were many teams in the junior league who were fighting hard to get into major league…...Some even said that the reason why the Chinese professional league couldn’t earn a better standing in the world was because there were shameless teams like Obsidian!

Tong Yao asked Ming god about Obsidian and learned that they had almost lost their position in the major league last season. They made a comeback in their last match in the last season to stay in.

Tong Yao: “A win is a win.”

Ming god: “En. But personally, I do think they aren’t that strong compared to some teams in the junior league-- --Most of junior league teams lack experience. If they could play a few round-robin matches, they would probably perform better than some of the bottom teams in the major league.”

Tong Yao continued checking Tieba.

Then she happily discovered that she had finally earned some validation in the eyes of the fans, possibly because of her record 5 kills today. Amidst all the derogatory comments about Obsidian, there were some posts about her here and there: [Smiling is really fine], [That 5 kills wasn’t easy, even if Obsidian’s lousy], [I decide to take back my comment about girls playing games]......

Tong Yao randomly clicked on one post and found the first sentence of the post was -- --

[After watching today’s matches, I begin to suspect that Smiling’s victory in her 1v1 wasn’t an accident. She’s really good at the game, fully in control of the lane and has a good understanding of strategy……]

Tong Yao couldn’t help but giggle.

The man sitting behind her kicked the back of her chair: “Haven’t you been giggling foolishly enough?”

Tong Yao turned around, ready to retort, when she saw the man behind her had already pulled his jacket over his face to take a nap…...Tong Yao rolled her eyes and sat back down in her seat to continue reading. Lu Yue reached over and said flatly: “If we win the Red Arrow the day after tomorrow again, we’ll be all wins and no losses in the group. It looks like no one will question your position as one of the top three mids in the major league.”

Tong Yao couldn’t stop herself giggling again.

……

It was about 8:30 at night when they arrived at the airport.

The team was dismissed after everyone received their own boarding pass; they would have to be back at the terminal at 10:30 to get ready to board the plane. Little Fatty dragged Tong Yao to eat dinner together, then went to buy some skin moisturizer.

Tong Yao carried several bags with her as she boarded the plane. It was late at night and the passengers on the plane all spoke in low voices. She concentrated on the number on the seats as she passed the rows and eventually reached her own seat-- --

She looked down and saw her captain sitting at the window seat.

Tong Yao: “......”

Damn.

The man was wearing his earbuds with a darkened face; probably still irritated at the commercial event they were forced to attend tomorrow…...He seemed to notice there was someone standing still next to him and lifted his eyelids to take a glance at her. Then he pulled one of the earbuds off: “What are you looking at?”

“......”

Tong Yao thought: I’m looking at you.

“Sit, you’re blocking the aisle.”

Tong Yao hurriedly sat down in the seat next to Lu Sicheng amid the unhappy gaze from the people behind her. While she was buckling the seatbelt, she accidentally brushed past Lu Sicheng and he moved away a little. Tong Yao instantly sprang away like a startled animal-- --then she began to curl up towards the opposite side-- --until she helplessly watched Little Fatty’s huge body approach her like a hill and sat down in the aisle seat next to her.

Tong Yao: “......”

Little Fatty: “What a coincidence, ha.”

Tong Yao: “......”

Little Fatty: “We probably won’t get there till after midnight. If you get sleepy, you can lean on my soft shoulder to take a rest.”

Tong Yao embarrassingly sat up straight a little, though her body was still curved towards Little Fatty’s direction and her head was very close to Little Fatty’s shoulder.

Lu Sicheng who was playing with his cell phone suddenly looked up at her. After a short pause when their eyes met, he made a surprising statement: “Am I a pile of shit? Keeping such a distance from me?”

Tong Yao: “.........................................................”

She concluded that the captain was really in a bad mood and she had better not make him unhappier.

Tong Yao sat up straight and lowered her head to pull her hair behind her ear-- --As she was doing that, the back of her hand unintentionally touched Lu Sicheng’s shoulder. She could feel  his body temperature through the thin layer of fabric between them.

Tong Yao suddenly felt like the rest of her body had disappeared, except the back of her hand.

And the back of her hand was so hot as if it was going to ignite at any moment.

Those Sweet Times - Chapter 50 Part 2

Those Sweet Times
Chapter 50 Part 2

Walking out of the shopping center, Ren Danyan checked the bracelet on her palm and asked in an unimpressed voice: “Is this made of plastic?”

“I won it myself. Mom, aren’t you proud of me?”

“My little baby, you’ve played for an hour and won a piece of plastic. I’m so proud of you.”

Xiang Nuan: TAT Is she really my mom……

-- --

Xiang Nuan and her teammates had created a WeChat group, named “Charge forward to get rich.” There were five members in the group, but tonight, Xiang Nuan was surprised to notice that there was a sixth person in the group chat.

She checked the id and found the new addition was called “Young Master Yang,” the profile picture was a large, squinting face of a cat with a cigarette dangling from its mouth.

It didn’t look like a decent person no matter how anyone looked at it……

What was going on?

As if Young Master Yang had heard Xiang Nuan’s question, he started talking.

Young Master Yang: Why isn’t there anyone here to welcome me?

Xiang Nuan decided that whether it was a stranger or not, it was still polite to welcome him. She was the first one to respond: Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome to Young Master Yang~

Shen Zemu: Change your id first.

Three seconds later, Master Yang: It’s done.

Shen Zemu: Change it to your own name.

Another three seconds later, Yang Yin: Really…… How’s this?

Xiang Nuan grew more and more curious about this person. Where had this mysterious person come from? And judging by the name, Yang Yin, could it be a girl? But if it was a girl, why would she call herself Young Master Yang or Master Yang?

It was terribly confusing……

Fortunately, Shen Zemu soon clarified the confusion for everyone: Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Yang Yin, a game coach. She happens to have some free time now and has come to give us a hand.

As they moved up in the Collegiate Competition, they would meet more and more skilled players. In order to win the championship, they had to improve their own game as much as possible. It so happened that Chen Yinghu had come to visit Shen Zemu’s family and he had asked Chen Yinghu to find a coach for the team.

Chen Yinghu highly recommended this coach.

Somehow, Shen Zemu didn’t feel Yang Yin was a reliable person……

After seeing Shen Zemu’s introduction, Xiang Nuan’s messages quickly became respectful: How are you, Coach Yang! I’m the support of our team. You can call me Xiang Nuan or Nuannuan.

Yang Yin: How are you, Nuannuan. Don’t be so formal. You can call me Yin Jiejie. ( ^ - ^ ) V

Xiang Nuan: Oh, oh, how old are you?

Yang Yin: 21.

Xiang Nuan: Then I do need to call you jiejie. I’ll be 19 after the New Year. You can be a coach at the age of 21? You’re awesome!

Yang Yin: I started playing professionally when I’m 16~

Xiang Nuan: Wow!

Shen Zemu watched the chat between Xiang Nuan and Yang Yin. No wonder Yang Yin could be friends with his cousin, both were addicted to playing games and didn’t like going to school…...What he couldn’t understand was Xiang Nuan’s worship of them. Was it very glorious to drop out of school to go play video games?

You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 64 Part 3

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 64 Part 3

The exchange between Xiao Ma and Lu Sicheng continued in similar fashion until Lu Sicheng’s responses grew nasty in the end. Just from reading those words, Tong Yao felt like grabbing a pot lid to shield her head and quietly crawl away-- --

At this point, since the official site had already announced the event, it was hard to back away from the commitment. They had to consider the reaction from the fans who had purchased tickets for the anime convention as soon as the news came out. Then it would be hard to give the sponsor a satisfactory explanation for the team’s cancellation. Even if Lu Sicheng was willing to make up the funds from the sponsor and ask them to divest, the whole incident would still deter other potential sponsors from investing……

The club headquarters definitely wouldn’t allow its League of Legend team to have its own way……After all, those who invest in the club aren’t doing simply because of a dream to build Chinese esports; they are businessmen first and all businessmen want to make money.

“......It’s alright, we can go and come back on the same day.” Though Tong Yao was also displeased with the arrangement, she comforted Lu Sicheng anyway since she sensed his growing anger: “We’ll just rest less, it’s only one day.”

“You don’t understand.” Lu Sicheng gave her a glance: “This isn’t the first time these kinds of things have happened. You back down this time, more will come later-- --Last year, before you joined the team, we had stopped various events like this at least dozens of times. Go ask Xiao Rui.”

Tong Yao turned to look at Xiao Rui, who returned a wry smile.

This was the first commercial event since Tong Yao had joined the team. She walked over to Xiao Rui, sat down next to him, and wore the disposable gloves again to eat crayfish: “What are these kinds of events like?”

“Play some matches with fans, sign autographs, take pictures with fans, and interact with them, things like that.” Xiao Rui replied: “It usually goes like that.”

“Oh, then that’s not that bad. It doesn’t sound like a hard job.”

“C City is hot as a hot pot lately and the anime convention is indoors. It’ll be so crowded, that I’m afraid our players will get a heat stroke and affect our performance the next day.” Xiao Rui sighed: “We’re being preyed on.”

Tong Yao used the back of her hand to pat Xiao Rui’s back as a comforting gesture: “It’s alright, it’s alright. We can take it.”

……

The competition next week came quickly.

The match against Obsidian was much easier than Tong Yao had anticipated-- --Obsidian had probably lost the will to fight against the leading team in the A group since they had lost all their prior matches, being last in A group with 0 points. The matches with Obsidian started at 5 o’clock in the afternoon and ended by 6:30……

Tong Yao was named MVP for two of the matches.

She also earned her first 5 kills in her professional career.

After the match was over, she took off her earphones and stood up, ready to go shake hands with the opposing team. Suddenly, she heard people in the audience calling her name. She turned to take a look and found a group of fans in the audience holding a support plaque with her name on it-- --The colorful support plaque was one amongst a sea of plaques that had other names like Lu Sicheng, Little Fatty, and her other teammates. Though hers were inconspicuous, Tong Yao found it just at a glance.

She heard the people shouting her name, cheering for her-- --Voices from both men and women; though the shouting wasn’t uniform, Tong Yao still felt it was the best cheering she had ever heard.

Tong Yao squinted and her lips curved into a smile. She raised her hand to wave at her fans in the direction of the plaque, then she shouted: “Thanks.” The audience burst into laughter-- --She was the first professional player to act so thrilled onstage.

Lu Sicheng, who stood behind her, rolled his eyes. He pressed down on her head with his big hand: “Shame on you.”

“I have fans. Ahhh, see that, Cheng Ge? Have you seen that, my support plaque!”

With such excited insistence, Lu Sicheng took a perfunctorily look at the audience then simply said “en”-- --

“You see it? See it? My support plaque!”

“I saw it.”

“Hmph, you haven’t seen it. You’re just brushing me off!”

“I said I saw it. The one with an idiotic cat head on it, right? Would you cut it out, already?”

“......”

After the players of ZGDX bowed to the audience, they turned to leave the stage. The entire audience saw their mid, who was following the ADC, raise her arm and give a forceful slap on his back.

Since they had finished the match early, including the time for Tong Yao’s MVP interviews, the team still had plenty of time to gather their belongings then head to the airport.
