Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Siyang, do you want to be in a group with Jiaojiao or Sang Qiao?
“Today is the photoshoot in cooperation with the XJ Club. We’ve got groups of five, and roughly three pairs will compete in three rounds of gas. The group who cos in first will get autographs and group photos with the club’s players. As for the last-place reward, we’ll talk about that when we get back.”
The director had barely finished speaking when both Jiaojiao and ng Wange got visibly excited.
The reason for both was Sang Siyang, but for different reasons.
They hadn’t been standing at the entrance long when a coach ca out to greet them. “Hello, Director. Hello, everyone. Please follow this way,” he said.
“Thank you, Coach Xu,” the director said politely, following behind him.
After winding through the club, they finally reached the computer room used for training newcors. As soon as they walked in, they saw rows upon rows of computers — too many to count at a quick glance — with five of the club’s competitors already waiting by the door.
...
As the group arrived, the five players seed slightly shy; they had limited opportunities to interact with girls, let alone celebrities.
“Everyone can choose whom to pair up with. We’ll have three groups, two of which will include two professional players each,” Coach Xu said after counting the number of people present.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiaojiao couldn’t wait to speak up, “Can I be in the sa group as Brother Siyang? He’s my actual elder brother!”
Inside, she felt sowhat proud. Her big brother would definitely favor her; after all the neglect she’d suffered, she could finally reclaim so face in this mont.
“Yang God is your big brother?” Yao Hui exclaid in surprise, completely taken aback.
“So Siyang is your brother. He’s the club’s resident wild king,” Coach Xu added, aware that Siyang had a sister — and it turned out to be this young girl.
Usually, Siyang would certainly agree to be in the sa group as his sister. He asked symbolically, “Siyang, how about you team up with your sister?”
“Coach, I think drawing lots would be fairer. I don’t want to show favoritism just because she’s my sister,” Sang Siyang said, looking at Jiaojiao with a guilty expression.
However, when he thought of Sang Qiao, whom he had neglected for a long ti, the guilt in his heart dissipated quite a bit.
[Awkward! It seems like Brother isn’t as fond of Jiaojiao as we thought? The coach had no objections, yet Yang God wants to decide by drawing lots.]
[Jiaojiao was flaunting her brother like she was superior to others. It’s really embarrassing for her.]
[I used to think Jiaojiao was a cute and naive young girl, but so of her recent actions are really disappointing.]
Hearing this, Jiaojiao’s face turned sowhat embarrassed. Had her big brother actually rejected her?
In the past, her big brother had always favored her in everything. Why was it different now?
However, given the presence of so many people and caras, she had to pretend to be sensible. “What big brother said makes sense. Let’s decide by drawing lots.”
“Before drawing lots, you ten will first divide into three groups. The one left over will stand aside for now, and we’ll make arrangents later,” the director instructed, giving the ten guests complete freedom to choose.
Sang Shen was almost the first to react, taking his place next to Sang Qiao, “I’ll be in a group with Mr. Si and Qiaoqiao.”
Following quickly was Yao Hui who joined ng Wangge and Lin Weichen’s side, “I’m with them.”
Jiaojiao also quickly joined the group with Lu Tianxin and Gu Nanmo, “Then the three of us will be a group.”
Without delay, only Liang ngyun was left standing alone at her spot, feeling like an extra—soone with thin skin, her cheeks flushing with slight embarrassnt and discomfort.
However, her low presence ant that hardly anyone noticed this small detail.
Coach Xu picked up so slips of paper prepared in advance, with the nas of his team players on them, and signaled for the three groups to draw lots.
Sang Shen quickly intercepted Coach Xu, intending to have his group draw first. “Coach, from left to right, let’s have our group go first,” he said.
“Okay, let’s draw.” Coach Xu couldn’t help but laugh, but he didn’t insist further. The draw depends on luck, and to him, the order didn’t really matter.
Sang Shen’s gaze accurately picked out the slip of paper with a small corner torn off from the five pieces.
He had discussed beforehand with Sang Siyang on their way over. Although he didn’t need to open it to know who it was, to not give it away, he feigned surprise.
“I drew Sang Siyang!”
“It seems the Sang Emperor is quite lucky.” Coach Xu praised before moving to the side.
ng Wange’s group drew the player with the main mage role, and Lu Tianxin’s group got the top lane.
The last two slips were for the support and shooter roles. Coach Xu then wrote another slip with Liang ngyun’s na and mixed it in for them to draw again.
“We drew from left to right just now, so now it should be right to left, right?” Lu Tianxin saw the coach was planning to start from the Sang Emperor’s side again and was not very pleased.
“That makes sense. You, miss, draw first.” Coach Xu turned back with good humor.
Lu Tianxin drew Liang ngyun and did not bother to hide her disdain.
Liang ngyun definitely wouldn’t match up to a professional gar, and she regretted being the first to draw.
Then ng Wange’s group drew the shooter, and Sang Qiao’s group got the support.
They each sat down in front of their respective team’s computer stations. The director stated that Sang Qiao’s group and ng Wange’s group would compete first because both teams had two professional players.
“Qiaoqiao, you play Yao. I’ll carry the whole ga. Little A might mainly play support in the tournants, but he can handle other positions too. You don’t need to worry about taking his spot.”
Since the big fight, Sang Siyang was interacting with Sang Qiao closely and calmly for the first ti, both excited and nervous.
“Yes, you guys pick first. I’ll fill in the rest. Yang God will carry us.” Little A smiled amicably, evidently a very easy-going person.
“I can fill for any role but support.” Sang Shen added promptly.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t play a shooter, but playing that role was prone to getting camped and caught out. He didn’t want to be too humiliating in front of Qiaoqiao.
[! Sss, I feel like both the Sang Emperor and Yang God really spoil Sang Qiao, totally different from how they treat Jiaojiao.]
[To play Yao and be carried by Yang God is too joyful. I’m crying envious tears from the corner of my eye.]
[Is it really appropriate to be so casual for a competition? Not considering the lineup? Just decided on Yao?]
Sang Qiao, facing their goodwill, wasn’t too keen on accepting it. She turned her head to look at Si Chenli beside her, “Why don’t you play support?”
The three big guys at the table suddenly stared intently at Si Chenli as if to say: Surely you, a big man, won’t actually agree, right?
“Fine.” Si Chenli chuckled softly, his tone one of indulgence, his eyes revealing tenderness.
Sang Siyang’s face darkened. He had been thinking of making it up to Qiaoqiao for the past, when Qiaoqiao played Zhu Bajie and Jiaojiao played Yao.
But now Mr. Si, with his mighty influence, was going to play as a support in the ga?
Helplessly, everyone had agreed on their strategies, and they couldn’t really object. When the match started, they began by banning heroes.
On their side, they banned Donghuang Dushan Jincan, while the opposing side banned Lu Ban, Gongben… Lu Ban?
The first two bans were normal, but what was that last one about?
