-- --We lost the match like a bunch of clowns.
Once that thought entered Tong Yaos brain, a feeling of suffocation overwheld her. It was a feeling of inexplicable panic...Tong Yao used her numb fingers to pull off her earphones. Suddenly she felt the stage lights and the cheers of the audience were very far from her. She staggered, then a big hand grabbed her arm.
Lu Sicheng didnt say anything, but almost had to support her to go back to the break room-- --Tong Yao probably wasnt the only one who felt that this defeat was different from the ones before. The whole break room was quiet
The air conditioner in the break room seed a bit too cold.
Tong Yao didnt speak after sitting down. Unusually, Lu Sicheng didnt use his tenacious mory during the short break to review each mistake at what minute and what second in the match they just finished. He just pulled his jacket over him, then used a cold stare to glance over the whole room. Everyone was either silent or quietly chatting.
Old Cat and Old K sat next to each other again. They looked quite calm, but carried a normal conversation which was a first in the past two days-- --
Why did you co up with the idea to go trade turrets in the first wave?
I thought the enemy's top didnt see .
So I went to help you and that caused us two lives.
Ahh, yeah, this one was on . Old Cat casted his eyes down with the corners of his eyes softened and an apologetic smile on his lips. He didnt question why Old K had to wait till he took down the monster before coming to help.
Old K seed surprised. He looked up at Old Cat but didnt say anything. He wasnt upset or annoyed in any way but simply reached over to pat Old Cats shoulder-- --The gesture probably had so important aning between the two.
The break room beca extrely quiet again. They could hear the staff walking by in the hallway outside and the exchanges among them, mixing with the comntators discussion of the just finished match
I know no matter what Ive said before, you guys don't really care about it. Now what? The chilling voice of Lu Sicheng could be heard in the room: After you all tested and verified with your own hands, dont you all feel like you've been playing like a pile of shit?
His voice was peaceful.
His tone didnt carry an ounce of contempt. He simply raised a question and gave a taphor he felt appropriate.
Inflated. Lu Sicheng flatly gave his conclusion. After a short pause, he said it lightly: If we go to the world competition in this kind of condition, we might as well abstain from going like last year. The result will be the sa anyway.
Little Fatty lifted his hand to scratch his head, rather irritatedly.
Old K and Old Cat exchanged a look and read at the sa ti from the others eyes: Im wrong.
Tong Yao looked downwards and twiddled her fingers-- --She seed to have returned to the day about a month ago when she was banned from playing and Lu Sicheng had kept her in the little dark room to give her a character building lecture.
Thats enough. Dont be too an. Lu Yue stood up and patted Tong Yaos shoulder: Havent you seen that your mids shivering like she has Parkinsons?
When Lu Sicheng looked over at Tong Yao, who was looking up blankly at Lu Yue. The next second, she felt a jacket, still warm, landed on her. Tong Yao looked back then saw the tall figure who was standing in front of her squat down-- --She looked up and t a pair of brown pupils looking back at her.
Lu Sicheng grabbed Tong Yaos hands, the fingertips were icy cold but the palms were sweaty. He forced open her stiff fingers and pinched them: Do you want to have Lu Yue go on for you?
The looks in his eyes were calm from beginning to end.
Tong Yao paused, then slowly shook her head under Lu Sichengs gaze..
She saw the look in his eyes finally beco softer. He raised his hand to pet her head, seemingly to express a simple ssage: He had gotten the answer hes looking for.
Tong Yao understood the ssage.
She was panicking because there was a mont just now when she didnt know how to win the match against YQCB-- --Though she still didnt know now, she seed to realize that escaping wouldnt solve the problem.
Either she would go fight it out herself and win it back, or if she was defeated, she would start over anew.
She always said before that escaping is shaful but useful. But now she suddenly discovered that that usefulness was actually only temporary-- --
She had to face it in the end.
