When it was time for the second match against YQCB, Tong Yao walked out from backstage and felt as if there was background music playing right behind her, the solemn and tragic kind.

After she sat down on her seat, she rested her arms on the armrests of the chair and started to ponder which champion she should get later. Vladimir was out of the question, she still couldn’t get over the fact she had made some mistakes with Vladimir in the last match. Leblanc was impossible for her to get. Leblanc hadn’t been seen for quite some time now in any match that ZGDX played. Then, what was left? Ahri? Talon? Diana? There were also some assassin champions. But Tong Yao had seen videos of past games, usually a mid assassin couldn’t do much harm to Ai Jia.

Then, Twisted Fate? She could play Twisted Fate well, but did she really want to use Twisted Fate now?

She knew that all the other regions, including the Korean Region, would study ZGDX’s competition videos. Normally every team would hide their real strength before important competitions. It was unthinkable for any team with the confidence that they would make it to the world championships to expose the team’s true ability in a match during a league competition.

She couldn’t take Twisted Fate. Besides, Ming god was responsible for the ban & pick and wouldn’t agree to it either.

Sitting behind the computer, Tong Yao was troubled.

Commentator A: Now let’s take a look at the ZGDX side. They’re still keeping the same lineup as the last match. We can see Little Fatty’s eating candy, Old Cat and Old K are whispering to each other. All the players seem rather relaxed.

Commentator B: Have you simply overlooked the one who’s sitting in the middle? Though she’s shorter and blocked by the computer, you shouldn’t overlook her.

The audience roared with laughter. Tong Yao in the trancelike state seemed to sense that they were talking about her. She looked up in confusion and only saw the audience laughing loudly. Lu Sicheng picked up the earphones and put them on for her. Tong Yao then turned to look at Lu Sicheng confusedly.

Lu Sicheng adjusted the earphones for her, his lean and long fingers seemed to unintentionally touch her earlobes.

The earphones had good soundproofing. Tong Yao, eyes fixed on the man who was bending over to adjust earphones for her, didn’t realize that the audience was now laughing even louder now.

Commentator A: Cheng Ge’s putting Smiling’s headphones on for her. It means: You guys can talk bad things about my girlfriend, but don’t let her hear it. Otherwise, she’ll get angry and I’ll be blamed for not protecting her.

Commentator B: ...........You really have a dirty mind.

Amidst the audience’s laughter, commentator A was also beaming. The cameraman pointed the lens at Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng. The whole arena was in a joyous mood. The audience saw Lu Sicheng straightened up his body after he had fixed Tong Yao’s headphones. He took a deep look at the direction of the camera, his lip curved up to smirk, then raised his hand up to make a hush gesture.

The laughter quieted down a little. One fangirl stared at the big screen and used her hands to cover her face and screamed quietly

Under the full view of the audience, Tong Yao grabbed Lu Sicheng’s hand next to his lips and asked him something with a frown. Lu Sicheng calmly shook his head and patted Tong Yao’s head as if to assure her of something.

Among the hundreds of people in the arena, Tong Yao was the only one who was in the dark.

Lu Sicheng also put on his earphones.
