The next morning, Ye Shaoyang and his teammates made their way to the airport together.

Their team coordinator had reserved a van in advance to take them to the airport. As always, Ye Shaoyang smiled towards Chi Shuo when they climbed into the van. He took the initiative to sit next to Captain Chi, while Cheng Xing took the seat next to Ye Shaoyang, with the aisle between them.

Cheng Xing, who was sporting a pair of dark bags under his eyes, snuck a glance at Ye Shaoyang. He clearly wanted to say something. Ye Shaoyang noticed his little peeks, and he couldn't help but say, “Little Xing, if you have something to say, then say it. Don't hold it in.”

Cheng Xing cautiously asked, “Yang-ge, did you see what was trending last night?”

Ye Shaoyang said, “The thing about congratulating the honorable Lieyang for becoming the MVP of S10?”

Everyone fell silent.

It seemed he already knew.

Out of habit, Cheng Xing had stayed up until three in the morning last night. Before going to bed, he glanced at Weibo and saw that his own Yang-ge had actually been flamed up the trending topics list! Cheng Xing couldn't swallow his anger. He'd gotten onto an alt account and argued with those anti-fans for a while, and then before he knew it… it was five in the morning.

Since he'd already stayed up so long, he figured he would just skip sleeping and go wash his face before grabbing breakfast. Then he'd had to hurriedly rush to meet up with everyone and catch their ride.

Thus, the youth was wearing those huge dark bags under his eyes, and he looked quite dispirited. Ye Shaoyang couldn't help but grin as he said, “You didn't get on an alt account and spend all night arguing with those anti-fans instead of sleeping, did you?”

Chi Shuo also followed Ye Shaoyang's gaze and took a look at his rookie.

Cheng Xing instantly shrank his neck into his shoulders. “No… nope! As if I have that many alt accounts to spare!”

Coach Lin came over from the front row. He took a seat near them and looked towards Ye Shaoyang as he said, “Shaoyang, don't take last night's trending topic to heart. I made a call to the club's public relations team after seeing that trending topic, and we've already had it pulled. When it comes to this kind of thing, it's obvious at a glance that someone is deliberately trying to drag you down.”

Cheng Xing froze for a second. He curiously lifted his head. “It wouldn't be BOB, right? They wouldn't be such sore losers after losing 0-2 to us that they would hire a mob to diss Yang-ge, would they?”

Coach Lin shook his head. “It can't be BOB. Based on their own skill levels, they were already very aware of the fact that they couldn't defeat Tianhuan. My guess…”

He swept his gaze towards Chi Shuo, then lowered his voice and ventured, “Yaoguang, right?”

Chi Shuo nodded. “Mm. That's what I was thinking as well.”

Qu Jiang and Qin Yizhu also pricked up their ears.

“I was thinking it was weird that Xie Weiyu transferred so suddenly,” Qu Jiang said. “How could one of the top three ADCs in the league just leave like that, if there weren't some reason?”

Qin Yizhu also started to share the gossip he knew. “I've seen the new marksman that Yaoguang is fielding this season. Seems pretty average?”

Coach Lin said, “The marksman they played in the preseason games was Xie Weiyu's substitute from last season. His skills are indeed average. My guess is Yaoguang still has another hidden ace. Yaoguang's first game of the regular season is scheduled for this Saturday—which is to say, today at four in the afternoon. The real marksman they're raising up should take the stage today.”
