Can't Stop Thinkin' Bout You

Chapter 25

"I would rather spend one lifetime with you, then face all the ages of this world alone."

Tong Yao followed Lu Sicheng out towards the interview area. The loud conversation turned into hushed whispers when the two gamers walked in. Lu Sicheng sat down on the couch and Tong Yao sat next to him, making sure there was a good distance between them.

Tong Yao scanned the room. There were many reporters who were ready for juicy gossip. This interview would surely hit the news and top searches on Weibo.

Interviewer: "Welcome everyone. Today we have ZGDX's famous Chessman and Smiling. Let's start with our interview."

Reporter 1: "Could we ask what was the reason for Smiling's departure?"

Tong Yao: "I am sorry, but I deny to answer that question."

Reporter 1: "But your fans need all the explanation they can get and we--"

Lu Sicheng: "I believe she just said no." 

He threw his cold glare at the reporter, and she shrank into her seat.

Reporter 2: "Smiling, what made you come back to China and start gaming again?"

Tong Yao: "When I left, there was this empty feeling in me. I realised it was my love of gaming I had left behind. And so, when I came back, I rejoined my favourite team. My teammates and fans had faith in me, they let me come back."

Repoter 3: "Chessman, did you not have a problem with your ex teammate and girlfriend joining your team again?"

Lu Sicheng: "Smiling is an amazing player, who has tactics to beat our opponents. For the matter in base with her being my ex girlfriend and all is not your business."

Reporter 4: "Chessman and Smiling, how was the victory with all of your legendary players? Your group must have felt complete."

Tong Yao: "It felt great. I felt like I finally came to my responsibility again. I shall show to my fans and haters that just moving to another country hasn't made me weaken my gaming skills."

Lu Sicheng: "Yes. It felt good to make a full comeback with our complete team." he glanced at Tong Yao who was fidgeting with her fingers. He frowned when he noticed her ring was missing. "After all it was incomplete without our mid."

The reporters laughed and did remember that they liked each other a lot and had a chance of getting back together. They didn't know that the couple was already engaged.

Reporter 5: "Smiling, what would you say to women players like you, who want to become pro player?"

Tong Yao: "Many people think girls are bad at driving, working and sometimes even dealing with certain situations. But these are all lies. I encourage those who are willing to go against all odds to pursue their dreams. Well, unless they are illegal."

The interviewer smiled. Tong Yao did still have her sweet humour in her.

Interviewer: "That's all for today's interview. Thank you Chessman and Smiling. We wish you a great day ahead."

Both the players exited the stage, walking back to their room. Once they finished collecting their stuff, Tong Yao went to open the door. Lu Sicheng moved in front of her, locking the door instead and pinned her to the wall.

Tong Yao breathed out. "Cheng ge, we are in a players rest room."

Lu Sicheng: "Where did you put your ring?"

Tong Yao: "In my bag."

Lu Sicheng: "Why?"

Tong Yao: "I don't want to stir up new gossip with it."

He frowned. "I don't care. Wear it at all times. People will know not to take what's mine then."

She smiled as he took the ring from her and put it back onto her ring finger. Then he put his hand on her head, ruffling her long brown hair. She got on her tiptoes and kissed him, before opening the door and running out. "Let's go!" She shouted.

He shook his head, smiling. Then he caught her hand, entwining it with his.

"Cheng ge, let go. People will see."

"Let them. You are one step away from being my wife anyways."

"Sometimes you are just so childish, Cheng ge."

"Really?" He smiled.

"Yes. Really." She smiled brighter, happy to have a beautiful moment with her fiancé.
