"And another thing, you have no idea that Taozi confessed to her sweetheart while you were away..." Ye Qingyan winked at Zhen Tian, her tone full of teasing.
"Confess your feelings! And then what?!" Zhen Tian had no idea there was such a thing.
Yang Tao's smile froze instantly. She tugged at Ye Qingyan and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
She accidentally revealed who her crush was last time. She told Ye Qingyan, but if Tian Tian found out, she'd be too ashamed to face anyone.
"Then she regretted it immensely. In a moment of desperation, she confessed her feelings." Ye Qingyan, having received a hint from Yang Tao, toned it down a bit.
"So what did the guy say after you confessed?" Zhen Tian didn't expect the two of them to be hiding anything from her, and just assumed that Yang Tao's behavior was shy.
"I hung up the phone before I could say anything," Yang Tao murmured softly.
"Ah?" Zhen Tian's tone was regretful, and her expression matched her words: "We should have waited for his answer, since he's already said it anyway."
"I didn't dare." Yang Tao stuck out her tongue. "Let's wait and see, until I'm even better."
"But if someone likes you, they'll like you no matter what you're like." Just like Zhizhi, no matter what she's like, he likes her.
"I've already told her that, but it's no use." Ye Qingyan waved her hand helplessly.
"I think people would never refuse someone better or more outstanding." Yang Tao also had her own reasoning: "It's never wrong to become better."
"Um... okay."
Zhen Tian and Ye Qingyan exchanged a glance. Seeing Qingyan shake her head, Zhen Tian didn't elaborate further.
As it grew dark, I checked the time.
"Aren't you going back? It's too late for you to leave, isn't it?" Ye Qingyan said.
Zhen Tian checked the time and said, "Okay, I'll be going now. Please be careful."
"We won't be able to see each other at night anymore." Ye Qingyan sighed and saw her off with Yang Tao.
"How could that be? We can still meet at your apartment, or at your place. Let's talk about it when my leg is better."
"Okay, let me know when you get home."
The three parted ways at the coffee shop.
"Why won't you let me tell Tian Tian that it's Zhen Hong?"
"That would be too awkward. I'm afraid Tian Tian will overthink it. Or she might secretly try to set us up, which I can't stand either. I just think we should let things take their course." Yang Tao chuckled.
"Tsk."
...
Once the exam was over, everything was fine for Zhen Tian.
She resumed her previous routine, killing time at home and waiting for Ji Yu to get off work.
The young couple had been living together for about half a month.
MG has once again made it to the finals. One step forward and they'll be facing the long-awaited trophy. One step back and they'll be facing the end of their years of wasted effort.
Everyone was giving it their all; their lives or deaths depended on this battle.
In the past, Zhen Tian would definitely have gone to the scene.
But now, because of her leg problems, Lu Lin and Yuan Yuan don't support her going. They just want her to stay home and wait for their good news.
Yuan Yuan was very confident; she hadn't been in the team for nothing after all this time.
For nearly a year and a half, she has been studying the tactics of a team that was the champion of the previous two years and also the team that twice brought MG down from its pedestal.
While I wouldn't say I've completely figured it out, I'm pretty close.
This year should be the year when MG once again stands atop the world stage.
Yuan Yuan took a deep breath and hugged Lu Lin tightly: "Keep going."
"Keep it up." After so many failures, Lu Lin seemed to have calmed down. He gently patted Yuan Yuan's back: "Don't feel pressured. Whether you win or lose, you're a hero to the team."
Because of Yuan Yuan's arrival, Lu Lin was able to reform the team through her.
“We will win.” Yuan Yuan raised her head, gently pushed him away from his chest with both hands, and stood confidently in front of him: “Let’s go.”
Lu Lin stared at Yuan Yuan's back and suddenly smiled. How could his girlfriend be so handsome?
He chased after them, but the team members were already waiting outside.
Upon seeing the two emerge, the group marched in a grand procession toward the competition venue.
Zhen Tian sat on the sofa at home, nervously watching the TV.
She had wanted to bring Yang Tao and Qing Yan along, but it was too late for her to leave. The three of them simply started a video call and put it aside, then each turned on their TVs and computers to wait for the live broadcast.
Only two teams can reach the finals.
MG walked from the passageway to the competition area and took his seat.
"If you ask me, even if we don't talk about gaming skills, the MG team is still pleasing to the eye just by looking at them." Ye Qingyan cracked sunflower seeds, and the clicking sound came through the phone to Zhen Tian and Yang Tao.
“Yeah, even the youngest support player has the physique of a male model with long legs and arms,” Yang Tao agreed.
"Not to mention our former school bully, Lu Lin."
"What school bully?" Zhen Tian chuckled.
"Don't you know? These days, many novels refer to someone like Brother Lu as a school bully."
"What the hell...!"
While the three were chatting, the competition had already begun.
As expected, both sides are veteran teams, and every move they make is the result of careful consideration.
With a steady and methodical approach, both sides won two games each.
At the start of the fifth game, both sides were giving it their all. Whoever won this game would have a match point.
Both teams' data analysts stood behind their players, offering advice.
bp begins.
"I'm starting to get nervous." Ye Qingyan's voice, which was cracking sunflower seeds, gradually faded away.
"I'm nervous too," Yang Tao said, while Zhen Tian remained silent.
The two looked at her through the camera, and Zhen Tian pulled out a sharp corner from the blanket in her hand.
That's true, how could the two of them be more nervous than Tian Tian?
Sweetie is probably the one here who is most looking forward to this result.
The match went on very late, so late that Ji Yuzhi City closed for the day, and the two sides were still locked in a stalemate.
Zhen Tian could clearly see the fatigue on the young man's face.
She was so nervous that she didn't even notice Ji Yuzhi opening the door and coming in.
It wasn't until the man sat down next to her, pried open her clenched fists, and intertwined his fingers with hers that Zhen Tian realized what was happening.
She had somewhere to vent her nervousness.
Zhen Tian spoke quickly and in rapid succession, telling Ji Yuzhi about what had happened that afternoon.
"What should we do? It's already the seventh game, the last game. Our last chance."
Zhen Tian held Ji Yuzhi's hand, and her tone of voice changed.
"Relax." Ji Yuzhi's words seemed to have a magical power; Zhen Tian visibly relaxed a little after he said those two words.
Ji Yuzhi looked at her with a smile: "Lu Lin will win, don't be nervous. Your nervousness won't affect the outcome of the competition, right?"
"Um……"
What would you like to eat for dinner?
"I have no appetite."
"Think about it, we have steak at home, would you like to have some Western food?"
"I don't want to eat."
"Shall I cook you some shrimp?"
"Okay."
Ji Yuzhi guided her to broaden her thinking step by step, so that she was no longer tense.
He didn't know, and Zhen Tian forgot, that the video call on the other end was still going on.
