Xiao Qi knew that the woman's arrival meant something; it meant that the man was about to take action, asking him to marry a woman he didn't love after the national competition.

Just as Lin Xiao was about to watch the video with the captain, her phone rang. The caller ID showed "Nai Nai" and the voice was gentler.

"What's wrong, Nana? I'm training. Um, want to go on a date with you? Probably not, there's a match tomorrow... The captain said we can't slack off... Haha, your brother will beat you up if he hears this."

Xiao Qi glanced at the person talking to his sister; he knew that he was talking to his sister.

He saw the name and for some reason felt a little angry. Did she really care that much about his sister? What was this feeling?

Could it be that he likes him? What? How could that be? He's a boy. Not to mention, he even pursued him before, and he clearly disliked him!

This psychological suggestion grew stronger and stronger; in his eyes, he was just a homosexual.

Are you talking to my sister on the phone?

"Yes, let her know you're safe. After all, the competition is tomorrow."

Just as Lin Xiao was about to leave, he didn't know why he spoke up.

"What if I had agreed to your request and dated you?"

He took a deep breath. He didn't know why he had said and done those things; he only knew that once he had spoken, he couldn't take it back.

He noticed that the man paused for several seconds without saying a word; perhaps he had truly been moved by his sister?

[Ding! Xiao Qi's favorability is 45, and his heart-fluttering index is 45. Keep up the good work, host! You're halfway there!]

Lin Xiao smiled. He had known this would happen. Such an outcome was often a trick the system was using to entice him, but since it was effective for the mission, he didn't mind accepting it.

"Does the expert want to know the answer from before?"

"Yes."

"I'll tell you after the national competition."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he didn't use a questioning tone, but rather a tone of affirmation when speaking to his captain. Next, he played a video of the Star Glory team's past pizza games.

He looked at him intently but didn't mention that matter much; at least, Lin Xiao didn't think it happened.

"The Stars team excels at tactical play, but I can see that their positioning has flaws."

Xiao Qi had no interest in listening to any of the top laner's explanations; his mind was already filled with what he had just said.

What if Lin Xiao doesn't agree, or falls in love with his sister, or his sister hates that her brother stole her boyfriend? What should he do then? He realized that he had really fallen for this person.

But the thought of him possibly rejecting him made him feel bad.

Do you love my sister?

Lin Xiao was taken aback. The expert was talking a lot today. What was wrong? Could it be that he was jealous? Thinking about it, that seemed to be the case. But, this idiot.

"Can I not answer? Captain, shouldn't we watch the video first?"

He didn't know how he got through the day; in short, he had insomnia tonight. Yes, Xiao Qi actually had insomnia the night he faced Xingyao in the National Tournament.

I bet that manager and assistant will be furious when they see this.

But then he thought about where Xiao Nainai might be, hugging or kissing Lin Xiao, or even doing something he didn't know about. Suddenly, his chest tightened again.

But he still had to continue down the path to the national competition. Once he made up his mind, he would succeed, even if the result would make that person leave.

6 a.m. the next morning.

Lin Xiao woke up earlier than usual because Luo Xuan said he was afraid they would fall asleep and miss the game due to nervousness.

In that case, the captain would kill them, so he was asked to be in charge of waking them up.

Lin Xiao went to knock on the door, and after hesitating for a while when he arrived at Xiao Qi's place, he heard the door open.

"Are you planning to wake me up? No need, I'm already awake. Let's go."

Wearing a blue and white team uniform, Xiao Qi's tone was completely different from when he asked Lin Xiao yesterday; he was now fully focused on the game.

"Very good, welcome everyone to the competition venue. Now let's invite the members of the Starshine team and the members of our VLK team to come on stage!"

It's obvious that more people will be paying attention to Xiao Qi, while Lin Xiao, the newly appointed top laner, even if he plays exceptionally well, will not receive any public relations support or attention without someone promoting him.

Manager Liu watched everything in the video, and he noticed the heavy bags under those eyes.

Lin Xiao's tall and slender figure was covered by a white baseball cap, which concealed his delicate face, but his obvious handsomeness was still evident.

He really wanted people to pay more attention to her, but why was her reputation so bad online? He didn't quite believe it.

Manager Chen, who was constantly wiping away sweat, was terrified. He never expected that Xiao's top agent would come out for a check-up at this time!

Damn it, if that's the case, won't it be easy to find out what they did before?

No way! Manager Liu hasn't known them for very long, how could he know so quickly? He's just worrying unnecessarily, that's for sure!

"Manager Chen, why don't you do public relations for Xiao Qi's team, which team are you planning to public relations for if they have such good people?"

"The club's resources aren't meant for you to waste like this, are they?"

He intended to scare Manager Chen into not knowing how to respond with this sentence or that sentence, but as the manager, he certainly understood what he wanted to say.

Lin Xiao, let alone his grades, doesn't have a good reputation either. He's a gay guy, and the object of his affection is their captain.

Even if he manages to win her over through public relations, what good will it do? Those girls definitely won't accept it!

"Manager, manager, that's not how it is. It's because that kid doesn't have a good reputation. He likes a man who is their captain, but the captain didn't agree."

"As a team, how can we have bad stuff on us? If it weren't for his amazing skills, we wouldn't have taken him in at all!"

"Smack!"

Manager Liu slammed his fist on the table in anger, staring at Manager Chen with furious eyes, as if to say, "Your time to die has come."

"Manager Chen, I never expected you to be like this. How can the current benefits compare to the future?"

Furthermore, I think Lin Xiao is a good person and deserves our respect. What's wrong with that?

"Besides, you haven't noticed, but even Captain Xiao Qi himself doesn't have any objections, so why do you have so many?"

"Are you trying to challenge my authority, or whose authority? Hmm?"

"Forget it, I'll teach you a lesson about this later. Let's watch the game first!"

A hateful gaze turned toward Lin Xiao; it was Jiang Yuanyuan, who had been sitting in the audience.
