Just one thing: they're talking in Mandarin Chinese so it's like you're reading the subtitles when you watch a asian drama.

Luo Mei is begging the ZGDX's manager to let her stay at the ZGDX mansion because she's willing to be a back up Jungler and at the same time she won't have anywhere else to go when she gets back from France.
Luo Mei has already informed Lu SiCheng about it and he told her to talk to Xiao Rui about it. At the moment she is texting Brother Rui about the very thing.
Luo Mei- ... I'll only stand in if necessary.
Xiao Rui- It's up to our Captain. I have no say in this.
Luo Mei- I'm an old family friend of the Lu's.
Xiao Rui- So did you ask Lu SiCheng about this?
Luo Mei- Yes. He said I can come and to tell you about it.
Xiao Rui- Okay, if he said you could. I guess that means you can.
Luo Mei- Thank you.
After that a week later Luo Mei arrives back back in China. She gets a taxi, and it takes her to the base entrance. They drop her off with her things and leave.
The security guard asks her why she's there, she tells him why, and he opens the gate and she walks in. When she starts to walk up to the ZGDX mansion, she texts Lu SiCheng.
Luo Mei- I've just arrived at the base. Can I just walk in?
Lu SiCheng- Yes.
Luo Mei puts her phone in her bag, and walks to the front door. She talks to her cat that's wrapped around her shoulders.
Luo Mei- (sighs) Here we go, Chocolate Chip.
She opens the door and walks in. She stops some steps from the computers.
Everyone besides Lu Yue, look over at her from the living area. She can't hear them.
Old Cat- Who's that?
Back to where Luo Mei is, she sees someone at the middle computer playing a game round. They stop, takes off the headphones, sets them down, and turns the chair around.
Luo Mei- (thinks: he looks kind of different but still looks good.) Lu Yue.
He gets up, stands for a minute, and then walks off.
Luo Mei- Lu Yue?
Everyone over where the living area is, watched what happened.
Xiao Pang- Who is she?
Luo Mei just looks in the direction Lu Yue walked in, not knowing she's being watched. SiCheng answers Pang.
Lu SiCheng- She's Lu Yue's childhood best friend and first love.
They're all shocked at the "first love" part.
Old Cat- Huh?
Tong Yao- First love? (looks up at SiCheng)
Lu SiCheng- (looks down at Tong Yao) That's right.
God Ming- How did I not know about this?
In that moment they all walk up to Luo Mei.
Xiao Rui- Luo Mei, it is?
Lu SiCheng- Luo Mei? Are you okay?
Xiao Rui- It's good you made it?
She doesn't really acknowledge that they're there. She's still looking in the direction Lu Yue walked off in.
Lu SiCheng- Luo Mei?
Luo Mei- (she looks at them) Huh?
Xiao Rui- Why don't we introduce you to everyone.
Luo Mei- Okay.
God Ming introduces himself and then everyone else does.
Xiao Rui- You already know Brother Cheng and Lu Yue. --
Luo Mei- I want to talk to him.
Lu SiCheng- He might not talk to you. You know how hard it was when you left.
Luo Mei- I know. It doesn't matter I just want to talk to him.
Lu SiCheng- Okay.
Luo Mei- Brother Cheng, you seem different too.
Lu SiCheng- Did Lu Yue seem different to you?
Luo Mei- He just looked kind of different.
Lu SiCheng- Well, how many years has it been?
Luo Mei- Six years or so. (looks to Smiling) Tong Yao?
Tong Yao- Yeah.
Luo Mei- (takes the cat bag off her shoulders) Can you take Chocolate Chip for me. (she hands the bag out to her)
Tong Yao- Yeah. (she takes the bag and holds it)
Luo Mei- I'm going to go talk to Lu Yue now.
She leaves her suitcases where she was standing and walks away before anyone can say anything.
Luo Mei walks out to the balcony. She sees Lu Yue out there leaning over the balcony railing looking out.
Luo Mei- (she walks up closer) Lu Yue.
He tries to walk off but she stops him by grabbing his hand. The hand touch kind of overwhelmes him.
Luo Mei- Please, just hear me out.
She waits for a little while to see if he'll pull his hand away and walk off.
Luo Mei- Something made me realize breaking up with you was the biggest mistake I ever made.
Lu Yue- And what was that? I was happier without you around.
Luo Mei- My heart. I never stopped loving you.
Lu Yue- (his eyes go kind of big & he pulls his hand away) I don't want you here.
He walks off and she just stays standing there. The rest of the team were watching the whole thing. Tong Yao walks up to Luo Mei with Chocolate Chip in her arms.
Tong Yao- Luo Mei, are you okay?
Luo Mei- (she turns around) Yeah, I'm fine.
Tong Yao- I'm sure he will come around.
Luo Mei- If he doesn't really want me here then I'll find somewhere else to stay.
Tong Yao- You're already here. Why don't you stay. Chocolate Chip can play with Dabing and Xiacong.
Luo Mei- Okay.
Tong Yao- I was told you're going to stay in my room until they have your room ready.
Meanwhile, God Ming goes back inside. He walks to where the computers are. He sees Lu Yue sitting in Tong Yao's chair; on her computer playing a game round. God Ming goes up to him and puts his hand on his shoulder.
God Ming- Lu Yue, you never told me about Luo Mei.
Lu Yue- It's not something I like talking about.
God Ming- I see.
Lu Yue- No wonder there's a new computer set up next to mine.
God Ming- No one informed me what that was for.
Lu Yue- You know Luo Mei is a Jungler. Her brother taught her but he could never become professional.
God Ming- Why is that?
Lu Yue- Because of Luo Mei's father. He's against it.
God Ming- I can understand that.
Lu Yue- Yeah.
God Ming- Are you sure you want to talk about this?
Lu Yue- What's the point now.
God Ming- How are you?
Lu Yue- (he stops what he's doing) How am I? How do you think I am? My first love comes back without anyone telling me. I wish she stayed where she was. I'm glad she went aboard to become a ballerina. It's always been her dream.
God Ming- Lu Yue, you don't have to be like this.
There's a dead silence and Luo Mei and Tong Yao walk by. Lu Yue slightly looks over his shoulder and sees Luo Mei.
Lu Yue- (takes off the headphones) Like what?
God Ming- Cold.
Lu Yue- (he turns the chair around) I'm going for a walk.
He gets up, and walks off.
God Ming- Lu Yue.
Luo Mei and Tong Yao are almost upstairs to the second floor. Tong Yao keeps going while Luo Mei stops. She watched Lu Yue walk off. Tong Yao looks back and doesn't see Luo Mei, so she walks down more.
Tong Yao- Luo Mei, why did you stop? Did Lu Yue leave my chair?
Luo Mei- He told God Ming he's going for a walk.
Tong Yao- It's okay. I'm sure he will come around. Don't worry.
She hands Chocolate Chip to Luo Mei.
Tong Yao- Luo Mei, here. Hold Chocolate Chip to comfort you.
Luo Mei- Okay.
She takes Chocolate Chip and puts him in her arms.
Tong Yao- Let's go.
Luo Mei- Okay.
They walk all the way upstairs to the second floor and into Tong Yao's room.
