Falling into your smile [C-Drama]

Chapter 7 : Bye bye Ming

I could see from Ming's face that he was about to cry, guess he feels bad for letting his team down because of his hand injury, He stared at the CK team enjoying their victory as Cheng put his hand on Ming's shoulder.

The ZGDX fans stood from their seats lazily to leave

Jinyang put her hand on my shoulder smiling at me sweetly

Jinyang : let's go

I nodded before standing up, but then Ming appeared in the middle of the scene, the lights were only focused on him

Me : Why is Ming back ?

Me, Jianyang and the rest of the ZGDX fans went back to our seats to see what Ming's about to say, Ming took the mic near his mouth to speak

Ming : today, I have to apologize to you, some of you may already know, I...finally decided to say goodbye to this stage for the time being

The whole crowd gasped

Ming : "a few years ago, I was just a newcomer in the professional team, yes, when I was the same age as you, at that time, to most people, playing E-sports was not a proper job and it had no future, of course my family thought the same, they asked "What's E-sport ? Is there a future for E-sports ?" I really didn't know how to answer it at that time, but I didn't want to give in, when I saw the looks on their faces, my heart told me that this was my dream, professional E-sports will definitely have a promising future"

I felt tears locked in my eyes as I forbidden it to come down my face

Ming : "So, I fought with my family, gave them the silent treatment, I even left without saying goodbye, I came to ZGDX, and became a professional E-sports player, in this time of struggle, I've fallen down and got back up with Lu Sicheng, cat, K, and Chubby in our team, I've also defined and oriented myself through these honors and setbacks in my life, unfortunately......I have to put my dream down today. The reality of loosing today's game meant that it's time for me to let go"

I saw tears in Ming's eyes about to fall down, but he forced a smile looking at his team

Ming : "Although I can't make it, I know as long as the dream lives on, there will always be someone to take my place on this stage and go to the path carrying my dream, I hope that person can make a decision soon"

I know he was talking about me, Rui must had told them about me

Ming : "I hope that one day, when ZGDX wins the trophy, I'm still here, you guys.....as well, now..."

Ming was trying hard not to blink to not let these tears of him fall, the ZGDX fan girls were already crying

Ming: I....Yu Ming, a team member of ZGDX.......................O-o-officially....r-register t-to.....retire ......a-after this spring final"

I didn't know I'v let my tears fall all long face, Ming bowed at the crowd and the girls were sobbing, Cheng was the first to leave

I stood up and went outside with Jinyang wiping my tears, than I saw again Yang being surrounded by girls who were taking pictures with him, as soon as he saw me, he again excused himself to come toward me

Jinyang : I'll wait for you at the door, call me if you need anything

Then she gave a dark look at Yang left

Yang : Tong Yao, I really care about you, that's why I said those things to you just now, Why did you join ZGDX ?

"Who is this girl ?"

"Why is Yang talking to her"

"She's not pretty either"

"I know right?"

I looked behind Yang and saw a bunch of girls looking glaring at me annoyingly, I looked at Yang again and said out loud so the girls will hear me : "Who are you ?"

Yang looked behind him and saw the girls glaring at me

"Why is she so close to Yang ?"

He turned to me again and held my arm and walked away

He took me to an empty room

Me : let go of me !

Yang : are you serious ? Did you really sign for ZGDX ?

Me : yes, I did, it should have been announced officially by now

Yang : I thought you didn't want me to be a professional player ! Then why did you come to be one yourself ?

Me : because I want to, what does it have to do with you ?

Yang : it doesn't, I was just curious about why you didn't tell me you were going to be a professional player, isn't it better for you to join our team than ZGDX ?

Me : why should I tell you ? And why should I join your team ?

Yang : because I'm there !

Me : one more time, who are you ?

I turned to leave but he blocked me with his long arm

Yang : I taught how to play, I was the one who downloaded the app on your computer, if you want to be a professional, you should come to my team

Me : come on ! How many times have I told you? It has nothing to do with you, you always remind me that you taught me how to play, what? You want to get some tuition ?

Yang leaned more to my face

Yang : Tong Yao, you want to tick me off, don't you ?

I replied on the same tone as him

Me : Jian Yang, you should just focus on your career, look how you get yourself killed on three roads in the first game (he rolled his eyes) it's so embarrassing

Yang : what's wrong with that ?If you had told me earlier that you joined them, I could've continued doing that in the second and third games, consider it a gift for you, how nice would it be to give your future boss a championship

I put his arm away

Me : we don't need you to give us the championship, we can get it ourselves

Yang : Yao, Let's talk, okay ?Did you join ZGDX to upset me?

Me : how many times have I told you? It's my dream to play E-sports professionally, it has nothing to do with you

Then I was about to push the door

Yang : Fine, in that case, I won't show any mercy on the battlefield in the future

I turned to him smiling

Me : okay, I'll see you there

Then I left to join Jinyang

Author pov :

Yang was about to kick the wall from anger, he still liked Tong Yao and he wanted her back, then he kicked on a trash bin which fell all the way down the stairs, he looked up and saw a tall guy with a lollipop in his mouth walking down the stairs, Lu Sicheng

Yang : Cheng, what are you doing here ?

Cheng : eating a lollipop

He always had that fierce dead face

Yang nodded

Cheng : I just found out we had a new player on our team as well, you guys know each other?

Yang : you heard us ?

Cheng : it was so loud, it's hard not to

Yang nodded than looked down

Cheng : interesting

Yang looked at him confused

Cheng : I'm saying the newcomer in our team, she's interesting

He smirked at Yang and left.
