章節 71: CHAPTER 71
When they arrived at the hot pot place, Tong Yao was embroiled in debate at the center of her mind about whether to order the lobster or the 888RMB plate of beef-- --
One voice said: "Are you a country bumpkin? Have you never had lobster before?"
Another voice said: "Are you a country bumpkin? Have you never had beef before?"
One voice said: "You can have beef any day."
Another voice said: "How can anyone eat 888RMB beef everyday? Have you forgotten that you've been deducted 120K from your pay?"
One voice said: "Will eating 888RMB beef make you fly?"
Another voice said: "Well I don't know about that, so I want to try it. Who knows?"
Tong Yao, deep in thought, supported her head with her arm, barely containing the saliva in her mouth. When the bus stopped, she bolted up from her seat and started to get off the bus. She walked a couple of steps before Lu Yue called after her. "What's wrong with your foot? You're limping?"
Tong Yao turned her head back, then lowered her head to check her foot. There was a red spot on the back of her right heel where a blister had formed-- --It was from a simple reason, the new team shoes she was wearing had chafed the back of her foot.
Tong Yao: "It's a blister. The new shoes rubbed against my foot."
Lu Yue: "Oh, are you a mute? Why didn't you say something about the shoes earlier?"
As Tong Yao limped off the bus, Lu Sicheng came up from behind and used both of his hands to lift her onto the ground.
"All the new shoes are like that. It's no big deal. I'll just go buy some bandages from the market close to base when we get back." Tong Yao glanced over at Lu Sicheng. "My friend set the record shopping in Las Vegas for 12 hours straight. By the fourth hour, her heels had already started chafing and she continued to shop for the next 8 hours, just like a mermaid dancing on the tip of a knife."
Xiao Rui: "A shopaholic mermaid."
Ming god: "Is this mermaid you're talking about our next door mid's girlfriend?"
Tong Yao nodded. All the men in the group had the same expressions on their faces: Sympathy for Ai Jia.
Only the brothers Lu Sicheng and Lu Yue didn't seem to be surprised, it looked like they were very used to this kind of behavior from women. Lu Sicheng didn't say anything, but Lu Yue did: "If spending money would let women stop nagging or looking for trouble, then that means we can live longer. If you think about it this way, then you'll agree that it's worthwhile letting them spend the money."
Tong Yao lifted her foot to kick him: "Yeah, women are all like that, aren't we cute? I can do that too, but I don't have the money-- --Ah, don't talk about money, now I suddenly feel chest pain."
"Serves you right."
After saying that, Lu Sicheng pulled open the door to the hot pot place. When they walked in the restaurant, they discovered that there were other teams there as well-- --
In addition to Tong Yao's team, there was Team Huawei and Team Qing Dynasty from B group. The two teams were sitting close to each other. Huawei's Jungler, Li Huanshuo, was leaning on the back of the Qing Dynasty's Jungler, holding a wine glass in his hand while calling him "gege" in Korean. Behind him, a girl who looked like a staff member was pulling on his sleeve while sneakily taking pictures of the two junglers-- --
They looked like as if they were a Jenga tower.
Lu Sicheng: "Look."
Tong Yao: "What?"
Lu Sicheng: "This guy will always have girls around him."
Tong Yao: "..."
In reality, Tong Yao wasn't paying attention to Li Huanshuo at all. She was focusing on the guy who was being held down and wearing the Qing Dynasty uniform…...If Tong Yao remembered correctly, her team's first round of matches against B group next week would be against the Qing Dynasty. The team was third place last season-- --with four Chinese and one Korean. The Korean player was the one pinned down by Li Huanshuo right now. Everyone called him Long Ge, a caring type of player-- --
Why did she think that?
Tong Yao had seen the team's competition videos. She personally thought this Korean's Chinese was even better than Lu Sicheng's…...Because he would at least tell his teammates when the team was at a disadvantage: It's alright. We can win. Everyone go for it, don't give up.
-- --Unlike Lu Sicheng, who not only spoke only a few words while in a disadvantageous position, he would speak even less when they were winning. If it wasn't for the chatty Little Fatty, one would have the wrong impression their bot lane was empty, especially during the early game when everyone was busy in their own lanes.
Besides, just last year, Qing Dynasty was struggling to keep itself in the major league, yet because of this skillful jungler, the team won third place in this year's spring season.
All Tong Yao was thinking about at the moment was how to beat this team next week. Suddenly, a hand forcibly turned her head around. The man standing behind her asked with a stone face: "Who are you staring at?"
"Long Ge." Tong Yao answered without thinking.
"What? Long Ge, do you know him well? He's a jungler and never plays mid. You two can't possibly face each other before or know each other well. You're collecting stamps again? You."
"...I'm not. What nonsense about collecting! I was thinking this guy only came to China this spring season and his Chinese has improved so much, not to mention that he has saved a whole team. He's really something." Tong Yao said: "You should consider having him to teach you some Chinese?...Don't just say all the time: Little Fatty, go forwards two steps to receive some damage so I can get some kills."
Lu Sicheng: "..."
While Lu Sicheng stared in silence, Little Fatty, who was standing behind Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng, thrillingly gave Tong Yao a thumbs up-- --
In the meantime, Li Huanshuo raised his head and saw Tong Yao.
His eyes brightened up and immediately walked towards Tong Yao, disregarding the protest of the female staff member. He first greeted Lu Sicheng who was behind Tong Yao, then held Tong Yao's arm: "Jiejie, why are you here too?"
"To eat dinner." Tong Yao smiled.
Lu Sicheng jerked her jacket from behind.
Tong Yao calmly freed herself from Li Huanshuo's hand.
"Yesterday, when I was streaming, someone badmouthed you." Li Huanshuo frankly said in broken Chinese. "I scolded him. I don't let them say anything about you. You're very good."
Tong Yao looked at his expectant face. She really wanted to pat his head and commend him, but her captain was watching her from behind. She could only briefly thank him. Then she lowered her voice: "Don't do that again. What if they diss you as well, then you'll be ensnared with me."
Li Huanshuo bashfully said: "Don't understand."
He couldn't understand what the Chinese phrase for ensnared meant.
He turned to ask Lu Sicheng and Lu Sicheng told him to guess, with no intent on telling him. Li Huanshuo then turned to Long Ge for help. Long Ge explained to him in Korean and raised his head to glance over at Tong Yao's direction-- --Long Ge and Lu Sicheng started to play professionally about the same time. He even started to play in the Korea region a little bit earlier than Lu Sicheng. He nodded at Lu Sicheng as a greeting.
Then Long Ge turned to say something to Li Huanshuo and Li started to get excited...
Li Huanshuo came back to Tong Yao: "Tailun Ge said you're very interesting. I told him no way, that you're another man's girlfriend. Even if you aren't, I'm second in line."
Tong Yao didn't know how to respond. She didn't know how to explain to Li Huanshuo that saying she's interesting didn't mean he's interested in her...
Tong Yao and her teammates left Li Huanshuo and the others to go to their table at the back of the restaurant.
Little Fatty had heard Tong Yao's exchange with Li Huanshuo and giggled: "Why do all the junglers like you-- --your ex-boyfriend, that kid you gave chicken soup for the soul, or this Li Huanshuo. Now even your fighting incidents attract attention?"
"I don't know. Probably because of my good looks." Tong Yao sat down at Lu Sicheng's left hand side and absent-mindedly took the menu: "Don't listen to Li Huanshuo."
Lu Sicheng: "Did he say anything wrong?"
Tong Yao raised her head from the menu: "What?"
Lu Sicheng: "How many lobsters do you want?"
Tong Yao: "A lot of them."
Lu Sicheng: " Big eyes, small stomach."
Tong Yao: "I'll take it home if I can't finish them. Dabing hasn't eaten lobster before. After eating lobster, the cat can probably clean its own litter box."
Everyone: "..."
It was already 10 pm when the team arrived back to base.
Tong Yao had slept all the way back on the bus after stuffing herself at dinner. Little Fatty had to wake her when the bus came to a stop in front of the base. She took the jacket off her head and looked around in confusion. "...Where's our captain?"
Xiao Rui: "All you know is to look for your daddy the moment you open your eyes."
Tong Yao blushed: "Hey."
Little Fatty: "Cheng Ge's gone to buy cigarettes."
Tong Yao mumbled: "Oh. Didn't he quit smoking already." She got up from her seat and took a step. The sharp pain in her right heel reminded her that she had forgotten to have the bus stop at the drugstore to buy some bandages.
Tong Yao jumped off the bus, walked into base, and kicked off her shoes. "Little Fatty, call our captain for me and ask him to buy some bandages for me-- --"
Little Fatty, without much expression on his face, lifted up Lu Sicheng's jacket from his arms. Lu Sicheng's cell phone was in his jacket.
Tong Yao: "...Damn, I'll go buy it myself later."
She irritatedly threw her backpack on her seat. Her cat, Dabing, was sleeping on Lu Sicheng's chair. Tong Yao buried her face into said cat's tummy. Dabing's tummy felt a little wet, but she figured the cat might have gotten itself wet while drinking water-- --
She got up and turned on her computer. Then she glanced at Lu Sicheng's desk and casually asked Little Fatty: "Hey, Little Fatty, why are there only two goldfish left in Cheng Ge's fishbowl?"
Didn't he always take good care of his fish?
Didn't he refuse to let any accident happen to the fish?
Didn't he always remember to change the water for the fish even if he himself was dying of thirst?
"It can't be." Little Fatty replied from afar: "There were still 3 before we left this afternoon."
Tong Yao: "That can't be right. Come and see for yourself. There are exactly-- --"
Tong Yao: "..."
Tong Yao abruptly stopped talking.
She lowered her head, as if she had suddenly understood something, and looked at the cat that was lazily lying on Lu Sicheng's chair. She picked up the fat cat and got close enough to smell it's mouth-- --The fish smell was so strong that she began to panic and almost threw up the lobster in her stomach!
Without delay, Tong Yao used her uniform to wipe the cat's mouth and scooped it into her arms. She rushed with the cat upstairs to her own room and threw the cat onto her bed then turned around and closed the door behind her-- --
Just as she heard the click of the door, someone came into the base.
Lu Sicheng walked in carrying a bag from the supermarket. Before he could take off his shoes, he saw a silhouette dash down from the second floor like a whirlwind. He paused and raised the bag in his hand: "Shorty, your band-- --"
Before he could finish his sentence, said silhouette rushed into his arms with both arms stretched wide open in a passionate embrace that he had never seen before!
Lu Sicheng: "..."
Lu Sicheng used one of his big hands to cover Tong Yao's face and push her away from him: "What's going on?"
Tong Yao took her hands off him and stepped back: "Come to think of it, I haven't really properly thanked our captain for the education you gave me. You're like my second parent... Our captain is kind and benevolent. His heart is as soft as a buddha. He loves all living things on the earth, honors the laws of nature, and respects the food chain that the strong prey on the weak. He never makes unreasonable demands or complaints-- --"
Lu Sicheng: "Tong Yao."
Tong Yao: "..."
Lu Sicheng: "Don't beat around the bush."
Tong Yao: "My cat, according to the laws of nature, ate your fish."
She had just came back from a freezing hell.
Now, she had a hunch that she was on the road back again.
