Designing a Version of You

Stay <33

Staring at the male group before her, Li Xiu observed them closely. "So, this is ZGDX." Leaning back into the couch, Li Xiu considered her current impressions of the group. Aside from two of the members, they seemed like a nice enough bunch. "Currently, only two of you are blacklisted." Lazily crossing her arms, a playful smile surfaced as the female watched the group peer at each other nervously. Li Xiu felt there was no need to explain which two, considering it was painfully obvious who.

The actions Lu Si Cheng had taken prior were not taken lightly, so of course this led him to being at the top of her blacklist. Perhaps Li Xiu was being petty considering her unannounced arrival, but either way she would be staying there for a while. The second blacklisted happened to be ZGDX's Jungler Lao K who was currently ignoring the current situation in favor of playing Onmyoji. Despite the Junglers impolite behavior, he didn't slam a door in her face. Li Xiu couldn't entirely blame him for favoring something familiar over something unfamiliar. Frankly, she would do the same if she were in his position. Even so, he could have at least spared a little attention, couldn't he?

Slamming the front door open, Tong Yao ran into the base, stopping at the entryway to the living room. "What are you doing he-"

"YAO YAO I MISSED YOUUUUU~" Li Xiu suffocated Tong Yao in a hug but suddenly pulled away, leaving her hands on the taller girl's shoulders. "The door was slammed in my face! Your captain's a pig-headed bastard." Li Xiu cursed the ZGDX captain, paying no attention to the glare from the captain that was 'burning a hole' into her back.

"What are you doing here?!!" Tong Yao repeats in disbelief, brushing off the statement about her captain. "Aren't you supposed to be in America??!"  

"I missed being home and harassing you and Jin Yang, of course." Li Xiu huffs, pulling away from Tong Yao. "Why aren't you celebrating my arrival? I thought you'd be happy having me back. Besides, I can't leave you alone in a base full of stinky boys; they have to be kept in line. Speaking of which..." Li Xiu turns to the group of males, a mischievous smirk crossing her face. "The interrogation has yet to be begin."

"Hey, I said no interrogations."

"Alright, alright." Li Xiu held up her hands in surrender, pulling Tong Yao into a hug again. Winking at the boys, her lips curled up into a cocky smile as she mouthed the words, 'It's happening...'

Li Xiu claps her hands together, moving to the center of the room, striking a cute pose. "I should probably give a proper introduction! Shen Li Xiu, one of Yao Yao's closest friends! I'm a character designer for video games! I've done just about every type of game though I specialize in RPG and Otome games. Not only that, but I'm a fanatic for conspiracy theories and the paranormal too!"

A cute male with glasses steps forward enthusiastically, "It's nice to meet you, Ms. Shen. Allow me to introduce everyone!"

"No need! I'm well aware of who everyone is. Oh, by the way, refrain from calling me Ms. Shen," Li Xiu cuts in politely.

Li Xiu walks up to each of the members, listing them off, "Xiao Rui, ZGDX's manager. Yu Ming, otherwise known as Ming God. Former professional Esports player who originally played the role of Mid Laner, now known as the coach of ZGDX."

"Xiao Pang, otherwise known as Chubby. Professional Esports player who takes on the Support Role of ZGDX. Lao Mao, otherwise known as Cat. Professional Esports player who plays the Role of Top Solo."

Li Xiu slowly turned to the ZGDX captain, crossing her arms, fiercely glaring at the male. She was still quite bitter over the events from earlier, it was doubtful that he'd be forgiven anytime soon. "Lu Si Cheng, otherwise known as Chessman. Professional Esports player and captain of the team who plays the role of Shooter." The glare then drops to a nonchalant one as she moves onto the next member, "Lao K, otherwise known as K. Professional Esports player who plays the Role of Jungler." Li Xiu's expression snaps into a cheerful smile as she moves onto her best friend, "Tong Yao, otherwise known as Smiling. First female professional Esports player who is the replacement Mid Laner of ZGDX."
