Yu Sui spoke to the driver in a low voice and the driver drove a bit more smoothly and steadily. Shi Luo stayed asleep the entire way and only woke up after they had arrived at the stadium.
Shi Luo never expected he could sleep the entire way. After the car stopped, he opened his eyes and looked dazedly out the window. After a few seconds, he muttered, “When I woke up, I saw that I was in the car and for a minute there, I thought we had a match today. That gave me a scare…”
The driver smiled. “This is also the first time I’m driving to the stadium when it’s not our match. We’re here early. Why don’t you wait here for a while? Right now, the spectators are all queuing through the security check. You don’t even have a mask on. If you get off the car now, you’ll be surrounded by fans. Or, you could wait for a bit in the car and I’ll go look for a staff member to ask for a permit so we can drive the car in and you can take the staff passage?”
“No need to bother anyone.” Shi Luo frowned and shook his head. “They’re all busy. We’ll wait in the car for a while and wait to enter the stadium last.”
The driver nodded, “That’s okay too. Then I’ll get out of the car and have a smoke.”
Shi Luo had just woken up and his eyes were still feeling heavy. He also took a cigarette and wanted to get out of the car. Yu Sui was leaning back and playing on his mobile phone. Without even raising his head, he said, “If you want to smoke, just smoke in the car. The fans outside have definitely noticed our team’s car already. Would you believe it if I told you you’d be photographed the second you got off the car?”
Most of the people who would be waiting outside the stadium were die-hard fans of the teams playing that day, waiting to for the players to drive by to shout their cheers. Naturally, they would also be able to recognize Shi Luo.
“Then let them take my picture. They know I smoke anyway. Let anyone who wants to take a picture, take a picture.” The space in the car was too small. Shi Luo didn’t want to subject Yu Sui to second-hand smoke. He opened the door and got out of the car, “I’ll get back in after I’ve had my smoke.”
Yu Sui’s guess was spot on. After Shi Luo got down, not far from where they were, there were screams from the fans. They hadn’t announced in advance their intention to watch today’s match. The fans probably never expected to see Free Club’s car here. They expected even less to be able to bump into Shi Luo.
Yu Sui stayed in the car, playing with his mobile phone. He took a look at the pre-match data predictions for Saint and NSN and looked through several e-sports self-media accounts that he followed. As expected, the latest e-sports gossip post was a picture of Shi Luo standing next to their a nanny car, smoking a cigarette with his back facing the camera.
Yu Sui smiled. He told him not to get out of the car
However, this e-sports gossip account was probably Shi Luo’s or Free’s fan. It didn’t try to create any issue and its tone was exceptionally mild. It only said that he accidentally ran into Evil outside the stadium and then praised everything about Shi Luo, from his clothes to his appearance and short silver hair. He then made a joke saying that Shi Luo probably thought that the finals was already in the bag and secretly came to watch the match between Saint and NSN to spy out military secrets.
Yu Sui opened the comments and read them. The comments were quite harmonious. The members of Team Free rarely went out except for matches. Very few of Shi Luo’s fans have seen Shi Luo wearing casual clothes. They are all @-ing each other to come look at the photos. They all banded together to urge this blogger to go over and ask for a group photo and to take more pictures.
