As Lu Sicheng started streaming, his other teammates soon came down one after another to make up their required quota of stream time. Tong Yao had ordered a box of fruits. As she was eating said fruit, squatting on her seat, and watching a TV drama at the same time…...Lu Sicheng would take some time off from his game to chat with her from time to time.
Lu Sicheng: "You've done all your stream time?"
Tong Yao: "I've given up on it. I'll worry about it next month."
Lu Sicheng: "It's 11:30 already."
Tong Yao: "What about it?"
Lu Sicheng: "It's already one hour past your beauty sleep time and you're still here eating watermelon?"
Tong Yao rubbed her tummy and figured that if she didn't get on the scale, then those extra pounds didn't exist. At ease with herself, she continued eating the fruits. Then she turned on her computer to get on Lu Sicheng's stream. Almost all the bullet comments that covered the entire screen were asking who the woman today was. There were a few others laughing at Lu Sicheng...
"Someone said that your champion, Jhin, this week has been a rather lousy, good for nothing. Is that true?"
Tong Yao pointed at the computer screen: "I haven't noticed."
"I'm an old man AD, so I don't know too much about this new champion Jhin. It's Little Fatty that day who kept asking me to take Jhin." Lu Sicheng happened to be at the ban & pick phase of a new match. As he was talking to Tong Yao, he locked in Jhin and said: "Then, I should practice it."
Tong Yao shrunk back to her seat.
Lu Sicheng asked again: "What else are the bullet comments saying?"
Tong Yao gave him a glance: "...Can't you check yourself?"
Lu Sicheng switched the screen to take a look. As he was looking at the bullet comments, even more comments flooded in. Lu Sicheng was quiet for a second after seeing what the fans were asking, then he used a lazy and casual tone to answer his curious fans: "Who's that woman? Which woman? Why are you all Sherlock Holmes now?...She's nobody, just a blind date my family had arranged for me…...What do you mean, 'why did I need to have a blind date'? I'm a healthy grown man reaching the legal age of marriage, why can't I have a blind date. But I refused her-- --That's right, I'm not thinking about it right now. I want to get that championship trophy more."
Tong Yao: "..."
"It's not that she isn't pretty, it's that she's not a good match. Besides, I don't think it would work out since she's not in this business. I don't want to waste the time…...How do you know it would work out?"
Lu Sicheng turned his camera to face Tong Yao while answering the questions.
Everyone watching the stream saw the ZGDX mid, squatting on the chair, turned to look at the camera in confusion…...Lu Sicheng's calm voice came from the top of the camera-- --
"Tell them your story."
On screen, ZGDX's mid rolled her eyes: "To hell with it."
Lu Sicheng turned the camera back: "You all heard it? This is what would have happened. Don't ask me about the details, if you're interested, go ask Yang god-- --That person said that he thought Smiling was too short for me before and now thinks that Smiling will make do compared to that woman. Where's the moderator? Ban him for a month. The reason, he's insulting my teammate for being too short."
Tong Yao saw the comments changed to "hhhhhhhh", "hahahahahahahahahahaha", "666666666", and "What's that, you're miffed just because you don't want to get matched randomly." Tong Yao moved her chair to get close to Lu Sicheng and said: "I definitely won't find a professional player as a boyfriend. That's right, I'm not going to fall in love. I'll dedicate my youth and romance to esports."
Lu Sicheng gave her a glance. Tong Yao looked up: "What are you looking at?"
Lu Sicheng: "Can't you do your own stream? Why are you crowding into my stream?"
Tong Yao used the fork in her hand, which had a chuck of honeydew on it, as the mic and stretched it over next to Lu Sicheng's mouth: "On behalf of all the fans out there, let me ask you about what type of girl our captain prefers. So all the female fans can have a clear goal that they can advance towards."
Lu Sicheng lowered his head and swallowed that piece of fruit.
After chewing and swallowing, he spoke after giving it some thought: "Didn't I say it before? She has to play games better than me."
Now there were more "? ? ? ? ? ?" bullet comments in addition to the stream of " hhhhhhhh" and "66666." Tong Yao threw the fork into the box and clapped her hands: "Did everyone hear that? He doesn't like women, one point for those who want to be his hubby."
"You said during the interview today that when a woman put her mind on something, she could do it better than any man."
"Put her mind to it-- --That means she doesn't go shopping, look for good food, get a manicure or put on makeup, buy new clothes, and search on Taobao." Tong Yao said: "A woman would die if she has to give up all those things. On the other hand, those things don't exist in a man's life in the first place. This is the natural advantage of your species."
"..."
...
Tong Yao watched Lu Sicheng's stream for a while longer before she went upstairs to go sleep with a yawn. Next morning, when there was no one downstairs, Tong Yao got up and sneaked down to her computer to stream-- --In actuality, she hadn't given up making up her stream hours. She usually streamed in the morning and noon before any of her teammates got up.
Her fans commented that she was up too early to be a fully qualified esports player.
After streaming for about an hour, everything went smoothly. She would respond to the bullet comments from time to time. Time went by fast, it was already close to 10 o'clock. The door to Lu Sicheng's room was opened. He trudged downstairs in slippers with sleepy eyes. He was wearing a shabby shirt and a pair of Ultraman underpants, (which seemed to belong to Little Fatty.) His hair was the definition of the word messy. He had obviously just gotten out his bed...
What an image of an esports god.
Tong Yao switched screen to check the bullet comments-- --
[It's Lu Sicheng: Please let my hubby know that Ultraman underpants look good. I can see his underpants.]
Tong Yao read the comment out loud, word by word. The man who was drinking water in the kitchen paused and quietly pulled on his underpants: "Why are you streaming so early in the morning?"
He then poured himself a cup of coffee and walked over to stand behind Tong Yao. Tong Yao was playing Azir. Her match had just reached the 9th minute and 30th second. Tong Yao's creep score was 99 and 30 seconds later, the 17th wave of minions would arrive-- --
Based on Lu Sicheng's understanding about the minion lane, her score meant that she hadn't missed a single minion in the past nine and a half minutes.
In addition, her personal score at the moment was 1 kill, 0 death, and 0 support. So not only did she kill every minion, she also had had the time to work with the jungler to kill an opponent...
Lu Sicheng lifted his eyebrows and was about to say "you're finally good at farming with Azir."
But he stopped when he suddenly saw the id of the mid of the opposite side was "Tat, Tei." Lu Sicheng shook his coffee mug and looked down at the person on the seat: "Are you high on something?"
Tong Yao looked up at him: "You should go shave."
Lu Sicheng used his hand to stroke his chin: "You're facing Ah Tai."
Tong Yao: "So?"
Lu Sicheng: "Just a week ago, you were shaking from meeting him. How do you become this way?"
Tong Yao paused a bit then said: "Ah Guang taught me."
"Who?"
"King's jungler." Tong Yao slowly explained: "He told me that the majority of players aren't as frightening as they look on the surface. He's strong because he's put in a lot more effort…...Most people are just ordinary people. Anyone can catch up to him if you put in enough effort. I don't need to worry about whether I'm as talented as he is."
Lu Sicheng looked down at the cup of coffee in his hand, now it smelled like a cup of chicken soup for the soul. He thought about it for a while then asked: "That time when you were in the men's room?"
"..."
"You two kids can come up with such a life lesson in the restroom?"
Tong Yao quietly switched over to check the comments-- --
[.........Baby, what were you doing in the men's restroom?]
[Hahahahahahahahahaha. You're really something my girl!]
[#ZGDX's mid is probably the biggest publicity stunt of the year. She's actually a transvestite#]
[How can a transvestite have such a flat chest? Be more scientific about it.]
[It could very well be that she had run out of money for surgery...]
"I went to the men's restroom because I made a wrong turn, a wrong turn, ok! I happened to see Ah Guang there and we chatted. Why chat in the restroom? Because there wasn't anyone else there and it's a good place to have a chat! Moderator, ban that person who said that I have a flat chest, ban him for life! What, I play professionally to make enough money to complete the surgery? Damn it, ban this person as well. Moderator-- --Never mind, I'll do it myself!"
Lu Sicheng suddenly became very quiet as Tong Yao was busy bickering with the bullet comments. He was suddenly reminded of the morning right after his team had played a skirmish with his old team-- --It was almost the same hour of the day and exactly the same place. The person who was sitting in front of him right now was playing with the same champion. At that time though, she was pale, had black circles under her eyes, and sobbing about her first set back in her professional career...
Look at her right now.
The morning sunlight shone into the base, illuminating one side of her face. When he cast his eyes down, he could see the fine hairs on her healthy, pink cheeks. Her eyes seemed to shine while focusing on the screen in front of her.
Lu Sicheng for the first time didn't continue laughing at her chicken soup for the soul. The corners of his sleepy eyes suddenly softened. He lifted his hand to pat her head.
"Let's play a one v one in a while."
"Why?" The bickering Tong Yao paused and looked up in confusion.
"Because I want to. Let's bet on tonight's late night meal. The loser's buying."
With the challenge, Lu Sicheng turned to walk away.
Tong Yao watched him leave. She then switched to check the bullet comments again and found a whole different world-- --
[66666666, I want to see the 1v1! Don't you dare turn off the stream!]
[Play 1v1 with him, beat him, and marry him!]
[He just said yesterday that he'll only be with someone who can play better than him…...This is a chance for him to do an interview with you, my little sister!]
[hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, but you can't beat him! When Cheng Ge played 1v1 before, not even someone like Li Junhe could beat him! ! ! !]
[Unexpected display of affection so early in the morning.]
[Even with messy hair, Cheng Ge is still handsome. Let me tell you, this kind of man is suitable to be put on a bed to look at from morning to night. Every second of it would be a beautiful scene-- --It's up to you whether you want to fight for it.]
