Gu Yueshuang slept until she woke up naturally, completely unaware that the world had changed.

When she came to the training room, she didn't even take her cell phone. She threw herself directly on her chair, turned on her computer and started playing games.

Xu Qing, with a melon-eating mentality, asked with concern: "Why are you so diligent? You wake up and start ranking directly? Don't you eat?"

Gu Yueshuang held a small piece of paper in her hand and explained, "I thought of a good routine before going to bed last night and wrote it down. I'll try it first to avoid wasting training time later."

Xu Qing saw that she was serious, but he was not sure whether she knew about the bloody storm on the Internet.

But he was curious about her attitude, but he didn't dare to ask directly, so he could only ask indirectly: "Have you checked your phone?"

"No, I threw it downstairs to charge last night." Gu Yueshuang's attention was all on the display screen.

Xu Qing didn't believe it: "You didn't check your phone all night? Aren't you afraid that someone would find you?"

Gu Yueshuang: "No one is looking for me."

The desktop computer was slow to boot up, so she waited for a while, her mind filled with thoughts about whether this impromptu plan she had come up with would work.

Xu Qing couldn't help but remind her: "Why don't you check your phone now? Please, check it."

"Why are you looking at your phone?" Lin Yanqiu heard this as soon as he arrived. He glared at Xu Qing and took Gu Yueshuang's cup. "Let me pour you a cup of hot water."

"Okay, thank you."

Gu Yueshuang didn't even look at him, her mind and eyes were filled with the new routine she had come up with.

Lin Yanqiu placed the warm water on Gu Yueshuang's desk and said, "Yang Chi called you last night. I answered the phone and told him you were asleep."

Gu Yueshuang: "Oh, okay, thank you."

Xu Qing was speechless, his eyes darting back and forth between the two of them, then he looked at Lin Yanqiu accusingly: "You can't make such a leading generalization!"

Lin Yanqiu argued: "This is the truth, but they have misrepresented it in a misleading way."

Xu Qing hesitated to speak, although it seemed to be true.

but……

He scratched his head, feeling that something was not right with the development of this matter.

Gu Yueshuang slapped her forehead and muttered to herself, "I really did sleep too much and misremembered the CD time. This idea won't work..."

Xu Qing grabbed her sleeve and asked, "Aren't you curious about what Yang Chi said?"

Gu Yueshuang: "He has a problem, don't bother with him."

Xu Qing held on to it and refused to let go: "...No, brother, you should pay attention to him, seriously."

Gu Yueshuang was curious: "Why are you suddenly speaking up for him?"

Xu Qing scratched his head, not knowing how to calmly explain the situation without getting beaten. He simply went to get Gu Yueshuang's phone, handed it to her with both hands, and said, "You can see for yourself. Any e-sports forum will definitely be a scene of heated debate."

Gu Yueshuang took the phone helplessly: "What's going on? Everyone is talking nonsense."

As soon as I unlocked it, I couldn't laugh anymore.

The top message was a WeChat message from Lu Cheng, and the content was very explosive and straightforward—

"You slept with Xiaolin?"

Xu Qing nervously observed Gu Yueshuang's expression, and was prepared to grab Xiaolin and run away immediately if she wanted to hit someone.

Lin Yanqiu pursed his lips and said nothing.

Gu Yueshuang said nothing and silently replied: "Who said that? Please don't harm our AD's reputation, okay?"

Lu Cheng, perhaps holding his phone, replied quickly, "Your reputation is ruined now. They suspect you used unspoken rules to get to the top. You should at least think about yourself."

Lu Cheng: “Share the link.”

Gu Yueshuang knew what was going on as soon as she saw the title, but she remained calm and replied, "Anyway, don't ruin our AD's reputation."

Lu Cheng: “…”

Gu Yueshuang didn't bother to look at the links and asked the bottom lane group, "Do you all know?"

Xu Qing chuckled awkwardly: "Of course I don't know... The whole LPL should know."

Gu Yueshuang asked: "Do you need me to post a Weibo to explain?"

Lin Yanqiu asked: "Did you know...did you know about CP before?"

"I know." She flipped through the forum, wondering how far these people could go in their imaginations, and casually said, "Fang Butao sent me a link a while ago, asking me to be mentally prepared. I didn't click on it, but I roughly know what's going on."

——I just didn’t expect that things would develop to such an exaggerated level.

Lin Yanqiu hesitated for a moment and asked again, "What do you think?"

"There's nothing to think about. This isn't what I should be thinking about. What I need to think about is how to win the game and how to make my mechanics more refined. Pondering CP gossip won't help me improve my performance. I might as well focus on runes and combos."

She paused, looked up at Lin Yanqiu, and asked, "Do you mind the CP? It shouldn't be a big problem. Just avoid suspicion for a while."

Lin Yanqiu: “…Neither.”

Gu Yueshuang gave him a strange look, but quickly returned to the point: "Help me see if it's feasible to have Luo in the middle and Xia in the jungle. But I found that Luo's CD time is too long, and he might be at a disadvantage in the laning phase..."

When Lin Yanqiu thought of the special effects of Xia and Luo returning to the city for a kiss and a hug, he immediately rejected it righteously: "It's not good. The lineup is too fragile. It's not suitable."

Gu Yueshuang didn't want to give up: "Let me see..."

Xu Qing was facing a formidable enemy: "What are you doing! I'm a support hero, don't you know? Ban me and I can't play anymore."

Gu Yueshuang complained: "Your is not a hero spoon, you are a hero coin, forehand Dawn and backhand Luo."

Xu Qing was unconvinced: "I can also play Braum, Minotaur and Tamer!"

Gu Yueshuang: "Don't talk about the people sent by the other side. I'm still scared after hearing it now."

Xu Qing: “…”

Zhou Yao and Qin Ye came down late. Seeing Gu Yueshuang sitting there since early morning, they jokingly asked, "What's up? Are you so mad about the forum that you can't sleep?"

"Ah? I'm the only one who made them so mad they couldn't sleep." Gu Yueshuang waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "Wild God, come here, can you study Xia Luo and the jungle?"

Qin Ye: "It's theoretically feasible."

Zhou Yao: "Why is he a wild god?"

Gu Yueshuang said nonsense: "The God of the Wild Area - I believe that if it is you, you can do it."

Lin Yanqiu: “…”

Xu Qing asked, "What if they steal our heroes? Should we try to penetrate the bottom lane?"

POG's mid and jungle actually secretly practiced Xayah and Rakan mid for a while, but unfortunately the effect was not very good. Gu Yang said nothing and would not let them choose them in the game.

Before the competition, Fang Butao even asked, "Do you want me to help you dispel the rumors?"

Gu Yueshuang: "No need. They are actually more excited when I bring it up specifically. Just be normal."

In this regular season match, POG played against a lower-middle team. POG gained confidence from their previous match against GGB. In this match, they were very daring and started team fights whenever they had the chance. In the early stage, they relied on their good operation and in the later stage, they relied on their strong equipment to win two games. Some people even started to praise POG as a new strong team.

Before this interview, Fang Butao specifically informed the authorities not to interview the matter between Gu Yueshuang and Lin Yanqiu.

The official promised solemnly.

But Fang Butao always felt uneasy, so he let Qin Ye go on stage for an interview.

Coincidentally, Xiao Feng is still the host today.

Seeing Qin Ye's broad smile, she wondered in her heart whether POG recruited people based on appearance.

However, after she went on stage, she couldn't laugh anymore.

"Hello everyone, I'm POG's jungler Polaris, Qin Ye."

This was the longest sentence he had said since he came on the court.

His ID is difficult to remember, so commentators, hosts, contestants and even the audience like to call him Qin Ye.

Xiao Feng: "You played really well today. Is it because you won against GGB that your confidence has increased?"

Qin Ye was silent for a long time. He seemed to be thinking seriously, but he couldn't come up with an answer for a long time.

As the host, Xiao Feng couldn't let the atmosphere cool down, so she tried to smooth things over by saying, "It seems this question puts us, Polaris, in a difficult position. Maybe it's our first time being interviewed individually, so we're a little nervous. Let's start with something a little lighter—do you know any gossip about your two Cs?"

Qin Ye: “………………Ah?”

The live broadcast room barrage instantly exploded——

What kind of questions does this host ask? They either provoke conflict or stir up trouble.

[Although I'm a bit of a gossipmonger, I don't think this kind of nonsensical question should be asked in a serious situation like a post-match interview...]

What?

[I know why POG released Qin Ye, hahahahahahahaha]

Qin Ye is good at controlling the host. He barely speaks during the game.

[After all, I've been to so many teams, but I haven't played many times. Maybe I've become autistic.]

[I think the host will have a psychological trauma]

Xiao Feng: "I heard..."

Qin Ye hurriedly interrupted her: "We are good double C people."

The other four members of POG didn't wait for the host to cue them. They walked out from the backstage carrying gifts and stood next to Qin Ye.

——The only thing that makes people think too much is that Gu Yueshuang and Lin Yanqiu should stand together according to their positions, but the two of them are far apart, one on the left and the other on the right.

Gu Yueshuang waved to the audience and seemed to be in a good mood.

Zhou Yao took the microphone from Qin Ye and said, "Our jungler doesn't like to talk much. We know you can't handle the post-match interview alone, so we're here to accompany you."

Qin Ye said in a very low voice: "...Thank you."

The microphone was passed to Gu Yueshuang again. She didn't look at the host, but she was speaking to him: "If you're curious, just ask the person involved. Don't embarrass our team members."

Xiao Feng went along very smoothly and continued, "Then let's use this interview as a good opportunity to clarify things."

Gu Yueshuang tilted her head and whispered to her teammates, "What was the rumor about?"

Xu Qing took the phone and continued, "Actually, Shuang Ge was feeling unwell that day and went back upstairs to sleep early, but he left his phone downstairs to charge. Our Xiao Lin saw the call and answered it for fear of delaying things. Who knew the rumor would get more and more outrageous."

Gu Yueshuang continued, "Yes, everyone has their own opinions. I still hope that everyone will return to the competition itself, rather than paying attention to me because of some weird things..."

After this incident, the subsequent interviews and fans coming on stage were much friendlier.

Until the post-match group interview.

The media reporter started by asking, "Why did you stand us up last time?"

Gu Yueshuang: "I've never won, so I didn't know there was a post-match interview."

——As a newcomer, it’s understandable.

Qin Ye: "I haven't played a game in a long time, I forgot."

——He hardly played. Although he is not young, he is still a newcomer, so it is understandable.

Lin Yanqiu: "I haven't won since I came to POG, so..."

media:"……"

You're not a newbie, and you've won before! Why are you pretending to be so pathetic?

Fang Butao quickly tried to smooth things over: "I was too excited after winning. It's my fault. I forgot to remind them."

One reporter knowingly asked, "Why are the two Cs sitting so far apart today?"

Gu Yueshuang: "He stole my pentakill, I'm not happy."

Lin Yanqiu: "...Where did I get a pentakill? I got three kills in that wave, and Qin Ye even got the lead."

Qin Ye: "I didn't steal it."

Zhou Yao: "I testify that if Brother Boye doesn't take action, you will be dead."

Gu Yang called a halt: "Let's interview first and review it later when we get back."

Gu Yueshuang: "It's early today, so I can review it and then go back and have another day off. Happy!"

The reporter poured cold water on the situation at the right moment: "We have an exclusive interview after this interview. Don't let anyone stand us up today."

Gu Yueshuang: “…Ah?”

The smile on her face gradually disappeared, and the overtime worker was not happy.

[Friends! It's Chinese New Year! They're actually avoiding each other! !]

[The more you avoid suspicion, the more real it becomes, sisters! ]

Would you distance yourself from your best friend just because your friends are teasing you? No! No matter how you think about it, this guy is just protecting his boyfriend. Let's get excited, sisters!

How long until the abs team fight? Let them see who's gayer (rubbing hands in anticipation)

While the midfielder, bottom team, and support team were sitting in the lounge waiting for the interview with Ueno to end, Lin Yanqiu whispered to Gu Yueshuang, "Stop avoiding suspicion. If you continue to avoid suspicion, our CP super topic will directly reach the first level."

However, the support and mid laner have completely different thought processes and focus points.

Xu Qing was shocked: "You're actually still following CP's topic?!"

He pulled out his phone in disbelief: "No way? You two are more popular than the gays in the Abs Team?"

Gu Yueshuang was extremely confused: "What does one ring mean?"

A few staff members passed by and saw the three of them. They jokingly shouted, "Xu Qing, stop being a light bulb! It's so big, round, and bright!"

Xu Qing: "...Get lost!"

Another person encouraged Double C: "Come on! Break through the shackles of worldly affairs!"

Someone smiled apologetically and quickly pushed the two away, explaining, "Sorry, these two are sick again."

Xu Qing silently put away his phone. After a long pause, he asked, "What the Yihuan is isn't important. What's important is why everyone thinks you two are really in love?"

Xu Qing sighed: "Forget it. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. Who cares about them? As long as we have a clear conscience, we should do what we should do. Who should we hit next? Let's study our opponent."

Gu Yueshuang: "..."

Lin Yanqiu: “…”

The two looked at each other with complicated expressions, but they were in the same psychological state—

It’s over. What should I do if I feel guilty?

The author has something to say: Xu Qing: Why do these two look like they have something to hide?

Xiaoyue feels that she has failed to protect her friends. After all, in her eyes, she is the only one who is different here. You can also understand this as feminism. I am the only woman here, but I can't protect these weak men (not really).
