Chapter 55: CHAPTER 55
The following conversation was in Korean. [Kun: Cheng Ge QAQ] [fhdjwhdb2333: ?] [Kun: Is this true? Your team's mid is actually your woman?] [Kun: You've moved in too quickly!] [Kun: I thought you weren't that kind of person.] [fhdjwhdb2333: Do I have to prove it to you? Even if she isn't now, she will be in
the future. Even if I've just taken a liking to her and prepared to pursue her, isn't
it the same thing as being my woman? Surely you don't think you can still chase
after her even if she isn't mine yet?] [Kun: Waah QAQ, don't be so mean. You don't have to be like this if you just want
to protect your teammate…...I'll be really nice to her! She's so cute, I want to hold
her in my palms and cherish her!] [fhdjwhdb2333: Shut up, brat. No matter how cute she is, she is my woman.] [fhdjwhdb2333: Don't you think I don't know your record Hengshuo. Back in Korea
you've broken the hearts of many girls-- --Whenever I was drinking with Junhe, he
would talk about all of your affairs and every time, it's a different girl.] [Kun: It's different this time. Really, it's different! QAQ If we get together,
I'll announce to the whole world that we're together. I'll even post it on Facebook!
Then even the fans in Korea will know about it! Everyone will be monitoring me,
what else can I do! I beg you, like a man begging to his father-in-law! Please!]
[fhdjwhdb2333: No.] [fhdjwhdb2333: It's not your turn in terms of who meets her first brat.
Save yourself the trouble.]
After sending out the last sentence of his sharp rebuff, Lu Sicheng set down his
cell phone despite the fact that it was still ringing. The champion he picked for
the match had spawned at the spring already, he started to purchase items. The screen on his cell phone kept flashing, indicating there were more new
WeChat messages-- -- [Kun: Don't you believe in love at first sight? She's so cute when she was
muttering during the game. I wanted to live at mid and give her all the kills
in the world...] [Kun: That's why I stayed at mid during the second match. Kekekeke.] [Kun: Cheng Ge, say something QAQ] [Kun: Cheng Ge, why do you ignore me!] [Kun: Please agree to it! I just like a girl like that! I feel like I have finally met
the one I am fated to meet!]
[Kun: I'll really treat her well!] [Kun: What should I do to make you believe me?] [Kun: Then how about I go beat up Mintai (Ah Tai, TAT's mid)?] Li Hengshuo was still clingy like a spoiled child as if he wouldn't stop until he
earned Lu Sicheng's approval…...Lu Sicheng didn't pay much attention to him;
he would only take a peek at the messages from time to time. When he saw
Li Hengshuo mention the grudge between Tong Yao and Ah Tai and expressed
Li's willingness to fight against his former teammate, Lu Sicheng only wanted
to roll his eyes…...Lu Sicheng's match had started, he simply threw the phone
to the side and let Li Hengshuo entertain himself. Lu Sicheng was focusing on his game, farming with his support, when his
phone lighted up once again, among all the new messages a new id had
showed up----- [Luoluo: I heard that you're competing this Sunday. I've bought a ticket to
see you, the expensive one in the front row! I've also found someone willing
to take me backstage. Let's have dinner after your game?] Lu Sicheng: "..." Lu Sicheng: "Lu Yue." "What?" Lu Yue was on Tong Yao's chair playing a game while biting the tip
of his tongue. He didn't even lift his head up: "Don't talk to me. I have to win
this match. If I go down from Master, that shorty might change the password
for her account tomorrow!" Lu Sicheng: "..." Lu Sicheng reached over and unplugged Lu Yue's mouse. Amidst Lu Yue's
gasp, Lu Sicheng slapped his cell phone right in front of Lu Yue: "What's
going on with this woman?"
Lu Yue fussed with the wires to reconnect his mouse. He came out under the
desk to take a look at Lu Sicheng's phone and asked in confusion: "Which woman?" Lu Sicheng checked his phone and noticed that Huawei jungler had sent new
messages. He pursed his lips and opened his WeChat page to look for that
Luoluo id, then put down the phone again: "This one." Lu Yue: "She's your blind date." Lu Sicheng: "Why is she in my cell phone?" Lu Yue: "She had such a good impression on you; besides, she's pretty, easy
going and matches your height-----" As Lu Yue was talking, he used his arms and body to protect his mouse and
keyboard. Lu Sicheng knocked on the desk with his knuckles: "If you make me repeat
my question a third time, you'll be a dead body. Now, this is the second time:
Why is she in my cell phone?" Lu Yue: ".......Ms. Wang said that even though you said that you
two weren't meant for each other, that lady still wanted to give it a try and
asked for your WeChat. Ms. Wang knew for sure that you wouldn't do it, so
she told me to-----I was forced to do it! Ms. Wang said if I don't do it, I'd be the
next one to have a blind date!" Lu Sicheng put his phone down and gave his silly brother a slap on the back
of his head. In the middle of Lu Yue's howling, Lu Sicheng took back his phone
and saw Kun was still at it, sending over new messages one after another-- -- [Kun: Whatever! I'm going to watch your game this weekend. There must be
some signs if you two are really together, right? If Cheng Ge is really together
with your mid, I'll certainly back away. If not, then I won't be shy away from
chasing her! Because I truly like her too much! I'll just marry her first then ask
for the blessing from the father-in-law!] Lu Sicheng: "..." He grabbed the phone and was planning to reply "whatever," when another
new message showed up on top of the screen----- [rabbit holding carrot tightly: Cheng Ge, orz, what did you say to Huawei's jungler?
Ahhhhhh! Damn it, is this your way of helping your teammate to stop an unwanted
suitor? ! You become the suitor yourself to shove the other suitor away? ! ! ! ] Lu Sicheng: "..." What was wrong with all of them, had they made a pact to send messages all
at the same time? He stopped bothering to answer Kun and turned off his phone without a
second thought. ------Then the whole world became much quieter.
The next day, Lu Sicheng felt that Tong Yao was looking at him strangely. But out of a certain
unfathomable reason, he didn't take the initiative to explain to her why he said those words to
Kun the day before-----
Wherever he went, he could feel a pair of eyes sneakily glancing at his back. But whenever
he turned to check, the gaze would suddenly disappear...
Lu Sicheng didn't intend to expose Tong Yao. He simply let her glance at his back the whole
day, like teasing a cat-----
It was Saturday again, another day of competition for ZGDX.
It was Lu Sicheng's habit to go to bed earlier the night before a game. When he woke up the
next morning and went downstairs, it was only 10 o'clock in the morning. The first floor was
very quiet, only one person sat on the sofa cross legged-----There was a pink notebook opened
on her lap. Lu Sicheng figured the pages should be crammed with words with some cute
drawings she habitually put at the end of each sentence…...However, at this moment, the
person wasn't looking at the pages. She was holding a cat teaser wand, making her not so
agile fat cat turn round and round.
She heard the footsteps and spoke without looking up: "You're up early?"
The man stopped halfway down the stairs: "I happened to get up early. Do I need to report
to you?"
Tong Yao threw away the teasing wand and said with a stone face: "That's for sure. Since
I'm your woman, I think it's only fair that you should even let me know what color underwear
you're wearing."
It seemed that Tong Yao couldn't stand it anymore. Lu Sicheng stuffed his hands into his
pant pockets and lazily replied: "Black."
"..."
"Are you satisfied?"
Lu Sicheng went down the stairs and walked past Tong Yao without looking at her-----The cat,
Dabing, saw the man as if he was a piece of moving anchovy, gave up on the teasing wand
and turned around to follow him into the kitchen.
Tong Yao sat on the sofa watching the man take a yogurt drink from the refrigerator and take
a couple of sips. Then he put the container into the microwave to heat it for a few seconds,
tore off the cover, and bent down to put the remaining yogurt drink on the floor-----Dabing
happily dived into it. Tong Yao figured that if Dabing was a dog, it would probably have wagged
its own tail off by now.
"Li Hengshuo will be there for today's game." Lu Sicheng suddenly said while watching the
cat drink.
"Who?"
"Kun."
"What's he there for?"
"He wants to make sure that we're really a couple. If you let him find out that it isn't true, then
just wait to be his 18th mistress."
"18th.......He looks like a decent kid."
"Just like you've said, he looks like it." Lu Sicheng glanced at the person sitting on the sofa.
"He has been changing girlfriends faster than his underwear since his early days in Korea.
Because he never turns fans into his girlfriends and is good at putting up a front, not many
people know about it."
"So you understand him that much?"
"He was a trainee at TAT while I was there. It's not like what everyone said, that he joined
the team after I left. Theoretically, I'm his senior, therefore, he can't touch the person I'm
dating-----That's why I said that to him the other day."
"Oh." Tong Yao felt that she could buy that explanation. "But, do you have to make up such
a dreadful excuse? You should at least let me know about it beforehand."
"You're such a cowardly person, if I told you beforehand, you would struggle to get the
phone away from me. Then you would be charmed by Li Hengshuo, then fall for it, then
in the end become his 18th mistress-----"
"Alright, alright, that's enough." Tong Yao covered her ears with both hands. "I know, I know!"
Lu Sicheng was satisfied with her attitude and managed to find a bread to chew on...
There was still time till they had to go to the arena. Everyone else was still sleeping.
Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng played duos for several ranked matches to warm up. By noon,
the rest of the team had gotten up one after another and the base was bustling again----
Everyone came out of the base to get on the bus while discussing about Lan, the opposing
team for today's match. Each found a seat to sit down. Tong Yao sat down and looked down
at her cell phone, a message from Huawei's jungler happened to come in. [No game for us
today, but I'll go see you compete. Go for it. (*_*) q]. Tong Yao marveled at how fluent his
Chinese was. Then she heard Lu Yue talking with Lu Sicheng right behind her. "Is that woman
really going to come today? You're going to eat dinner with her after the game?"
Lu Yue's words caught Tong Yao's attention. She raised her head to look back and met Lu
Sicheng's eyes.
"En. I told her that I have other arrangement after the game and can't go to dinner with her…...
But she said she has already bought the ticket and insisted on coming to watch the game."
Lu Sicheng was the first one to move his eyes away.
"You don't have any other arrangement afterwards, do you?"
"What's the point of going to dinner with her if I don't plan to go out with her?"
"I just don't understand why you're so resistant." Lu Yue stretched his long legs. "That lady
is pretty. And the main thing is that her height matches yours perfectly-- --"
"If you like her so much, ask mom to arrange you with her."
Lu Sicheng put on his earbuds, obviously not wanting to continue the topic. Receiving the
cold treatment, Lu Yue boringly touched his nose and noticed Tong Yao's gaze. He grinned:
"My brother's blind date is coming to see the game."
Tong Yao replied: "Oh." She was thinking maybe she should introduce Kun to that blind date
so the two of them who had nothing better to do could get together…...Then she suddenly
felt that something wasn't right and turned back to face the front while biting her finger: She
had discovered that her own thoughts were as evil as those vicious supporting female leads
in Korean soap operas.
…...She shouldn't be thinking this way.
...
One hour later ZGDX arrived at the arena. Tong Yao still hadn't gotten over her evil thoughts.
After Tong Yao sat down at her seat on the stage, she indeed found Huawei's jungler sitting
in the audience-- --He was sitting at the first row of the area reserved for ZGDX fans. The
ZGDX fans around him were all excited to see him and trying to sneak a few pictures of him,
except for one girl, with a large bouquet next to her feet, who was concentrated on her cell phone.
Li Hengshuo was also looking down on his cell phone as if he didn't notice the commotion
around him, or he was simply used to it.
Soon after, Tong Yao's cell phone lit up on the table-- --
[Kun: Little sister, I'm sitting in the first row! Have you seen me?]
[Kun: I see you! (* _ *)]
Tong Yao put the cell phone down and tilted her head to look from behind the computer.
Li Hengshuo happened to look up at the same time. He smiled brightly towards the stage…...
Tong Yao was thinking that she should at least greet him as a courtesy, especially since his
smile was so cute. Before she could do anything, a large hand reaching out from the side,
landed on her head, and forcefully turned her head around to look the other way-- --
She was facing a pair of dark brown eyes.
"If you don't stop flirting with him, next time we'll probably have to do a French kiss in front
of him in order to make him give up any funny ideas about you."
"I'm not flirting with him."
"You think I'm blind?"
"..." Tong Yao was quiet for a moment. "I got it. Let go of my head first."
"No. Hengshuo's still looking this way."
"...Uhm, Cheng Ge."
"What?"
"What's going on with your blind date?"
"It's nothing. I turned her down, but that girl wouldn't give up and wants to give it a try-- --
What's there to try when she doesn't even know what esports is."
"...She's looking for a boyfriend not a job. Why does she have to know what esports is?"
"Because I say so." Lu Sicheng answered with a serious manner.
Tong Yao chuckled: "You turned her down then added her on WeChat? Jerk."
The hand on top of Tong Yao's head pushed down with some force: "Lu Yue added her."
While Lu Sicheng was quickly answering Tong Yao's question, he would lower his head
from time to time. When looking from afar, without knowing what they were conversing
about, it did seem that they were interacting quite intimately. To Li Hengshuo, it looked
more like Lu Sicheng was making a declaration of his relationship with Tong Yao. Li Hengshuo
sulkily frowned…...A little while later, Lu Sicheng murmured, "that's good enough," released
his hold on Tong Yao, and picked up his cell phone to take a look-- --
[Kun: Cheng Ge, why don't you just pee on her like a little dog would do! Qaq]
[fhdjwhdb2333: You're a dead man. Is this how you talk to your senior?]
After sending out his reply to Li Hengshuo, Lu Sicheng turned to talk to Little Fatty on his
other side like nothing had happened earlier-- --
Little Fatty: "What are you and Smiling whispering about?"
Lu Sicheng: "She wanted pick Yasuo and I asked her whether she intends to see the sun
tomorrow."
Little Fatty: "..."
Tong Yao: "..."
During the first match against Lan, Tong Yao chose Leblanc to the relief of her team who
now feared that she was so full of herself that she would play Yasuo. Fortunately, she was
able to maintain her skill level and worked with Lu Sicheng to carry the game. They won
the first match and her performance cleared her name as being egotistical.
The match lasted 38 minutes.
Tong Yao took off her earphones and stood up from her seat. She glanced over the audience
down the stage out of habit; Li Hengshuo was still sitting on his chair playing on his cell phone,
but the lady next to him who had a big bouquet at her feet had disappeared...
Tong Yao didn't think too much into it and followed her teammates backstage to the resting
area. Lu Sicheng took out his cell phone to check what Li Hengshuo had wrote…...Tong Yao
stood on her tippy toes to read it, but it was in Korean. From the corner of her eyes, she
noticed that at the end of the passageway stood the lady who was sitting downstage earlier.
She was holding a large bouquet and wearing a big smile as she watched Lu Sicheng walk
towards her.
Tong Yao was startled to see her there, it took three seconds for her to realize who she was.
At the fourth second, she tried to recall what those evil supporting actresses in Korean soap
operas would do under the circumstance?
In the fifth second, before she could stop herself, her body reacted one step ahead of her
brain. She lifted her hand and grabbed the sleeve of the man in front of her who was looking
down on his cell phone at the time.
At the sixth second, Lu Sicheng stopped and turned around to look at Tong Yao in confusion.
At the seventh second, Tong Yao tugged down at his sleeve with some force. The man asked,
"What's up?" and bent over at the same time. Tong Yao stood on her tippy toes, raising her
hand to lightly wipe under his eye with her fingers and blew a puff of air.
Lu Sicheng: "?"
Tong Yao released his sleeve and stepped back. She calmly smiled and said: "There, got the
eyelash."
She flipped her finger tips.
Lu Sicheng: "...Oh."
When he turned around, he finally noticed the lady with flowers standing behind him. The
moment he turned around, Tong Yao could clearly see the smile on her face was quite different
than earlier…...In the same moment, the calm smile on Tong Yao's face was also fading. She
swiftly went into the rest area, sat down on the chair in the corner, and pushed her head against
the wall-- --
[ZGDX, smiling: Help, help, help! ! ! ! ! I suddenly had evil and malicious thoughts against
someone I don't even know…...and quickly acted on them! ! ! ! Ah! ! ! ! ! ! ]
[Ah Mao's mom: ?]
[Ah Mao's mom: Oh, welcome to the adult world.]
[ZGDX, smiling: To hell with the adult world! It was a really stupid reaction, something like a
dog sneakily peeing at a light pole outside its own territory...]
[Ah Mao's mom: Silly kid, that's called biological irritability.]
[Ah Mao's mom: By the way, which light pole did you pee at? The one in front of the
Lu household?]
