"Ji Bu, what on earth do you want to do?"
Rong Zezhou took two steps back, pulling Da Tao, who was baring her teeth at the two men, and said, "You still want to fight me in public?"
Brother Sun took a step forward and said with a grim smile: "The hands of professional players are so precious, how can they fight with us? Now we live in a society ruled by law, we can't do anything illegal. I just want to invite you to dinner, you won't refuse to give me this little courtesy, right?"
“Woo—woo—”
Da Tao bent over, with all its fur standing up. It stared straight at Brother Sun and made a warning whimper from deep in its throat. If Rong Zezhou hadn't been holding its leash tightly, it would have pounced on him by now.
After Brother Sun was scared away by Lin Mi that day, he was scolded by Qin Yingzhuo when he returned home. He then realized that he must have mistaken a person for a ghost.
Hanfu is a trend now, and there are many people walking around in the streets wearing it. How could he be scared?
Feeling ashamed, Brother Sun waited near the community for a few days in order to save face. After confirming that Rong Zezhou lived there, he secretly contacted Ji Bu, who had been looking for Rong Zezhou, to block him and try to make up for his mistake.
"Hello, is this 110? I need to call the police. There are three idle people robbing people at the entrance of Jiahe Community. Please send someone over quickly--"
Brother Sun suddenly heard a voice calling for help from behind him. He quickly turned around to look, but was caught by Lin Mi who was quick to take several photos.
"What do you do? Stop meddling in other people's business. Do you believe I will beat you up?"
Brother Sun stretched out his hand to grab Lin Mi's phone, but he dodged it nimbly.
Lin Mi walked up to Rong Zezhou, looked him up and down to make sure he was okay, then lowered his head and patted Da Tao's fluffy head, saying, "I was just wondering what you guys want to do by blocking my friend and my dog. Well, you don't have to tell me. When the police come, you can go and tell them."
Brother Sun stiffened his neck and wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Ji Bu.
Brother Sun is not afraid of trouble, but he doesn't dare to make a big deal out of it.
The reason why he dared to come to Rong Zezhou was because he understood Rong Zezhou's character and knew that no matter how unpleasant things were in private, Rong Zezhou would not make the matter public.
If the matter gets out of hand, with Rong Zezhou's popularity, he will become a rat crossing the street and everyone will shout and beat him. At that time, for the reputation of the XY team, Qin Yingzhuo will not protect him, and his career will be over.
"Brother, I won't force you if you don't want to, but after all, we have played together for two years. When you come back to pack your things, we can get together again."
As Ji Bu spoke, he pulled Brother Sun and wanted to leave quickly before the police arrived.
"Hey, stay away from Rong Zezhou from now on,"
Lin Mi waved his phone and said, "I took pictures of you. If I see you guys hanging around here again, we'll meet at the police station."
Ji Bu looked back at Rong Zezhou again and saw that he was just smiling at the young man who stood up for him and didn't even look at him. He felt a sense of loss in his heart.
He doesn't think he has done anything wrong. The professional career of an e-sports player only lasts a few short years. If he doesn't take the opportunity to make more money, how will he live after he retires?
Rong Zezhou is too idealistic. He doesn't believe that there would be anyone willing to follow Rong Zezhou not for money but just for the so-called dream.
One day, Rong Zezhou will regret it.
After watching Ji Bu and the other two walk away, Rong Zezhou smiled and asked, "What should we say when the police come?"
"Whatever you say, go home and cook. I'm starving."
Lin Mi rolled her eyes at Rong Zezhou, took Da Tao's leash, and stuffed the clothes and shoes in her hand into his hands, "I picked out two clothes for you on the way, go back and try them on to see if they fit. Also, don't wear your slippers out. I always clean my shoes when I go back, it's troublesome."
Rong Zezhou clenched the shopping bag in his hand, and his heart, which had just felt a little cold because of Ji Bu, was filled with warmth again.
God is fair. He met Lin Mi after being hurt by someone.
The young man in front of him, whom he had met by chance, saved him when he needed help the most. Not only did he provide him with a place to stay, but he also cared for him and protected him. In just a few short days, this young man who was as warm as the sun had already entered his heart.
This may be the fate between people. Some people cannot trust each other even after several years of getting along, but some people can make them feel at ease with just one glance.
"Go, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Mi and Da Tao, who were walking in front, turned back and waited for Rong Zezhou, "I didn't call the police. I was just trying to scare them. Go home quickly—"
Rong Zezhou had an uncontrollable smile on his face, and he quickly ran towards the sunshine waiting for him in front of him. He rubbed the top of Da Tao's head vigorously, then raised his hand and pointed at the intersection -
"Let's go home and I'll make you sweet and sour pork ribs!"
…
A week later on Saturday afternoon, after Lin Mi had eaten the lunch carefully prepared by Rong Zezhou, he said goodbye to Datao and Zhusha, took his peripherals, and set off for the event venue.
In his car, a man wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, black trousers, black sneakers, a black mask and a black hat was sitting in the passenger seat, complaining that the car was too small and could not accommodate his long legs.
"You really don't need to say hello to the officials when you go to the event?"
Lin Mi was queuing up to park at the entrance of the e-sports venue's parking lot, but saw that cosplay performances and carnival activities had already begun outside the venue. The entire square was full of LPL fans who had come to play in advance.
Rong Zezhou lowered his hat a little more and shook his head, "No, I'm not here as a guest. I'm just your assistant today. If I keep a low profile, no one will recognize me."
Lin Mi parked the car, got out and looked at the man in black, and couldn't help but laugh.
Well, it is indeed low-key. Once we entered the venue and the lights dimmed, we probably couldn’t even see anyone.
"Come on, I'll take you in. I'm familiar with this place."
Rong Zezhou took out Lin Mi's peripherals from the car, put them on his shoulders, and urged the young man to leave the parking lot quickly.
Today, many popular contestants and well-known anchors came to participate in the event. There were many photographers near the parking lot. These people were so unscrupulous that they didn’t even turn off their flash cameras, and the sound of the clicking photos was annoying.
It was Lin Mi’s first time to come to the e-sports stadium. He followed Rong Zezhou curiously, looking around.
The professional circle of League of Legends is actually very small. Even if you don’t know the people in the circle, you can still be considered familiar with each other, so the guests coming and going are all greeting each other, and the corridor is very lively.
Although Lin Mi was not a League of Legends anchor before, many people in the circle knew him because of the last exhibition match, so many people greeted him warmly along the way. Lin Mi made up for it before coming, and he could call out the names of most of the people he met. Even if there were some people he didn't know, Rong Zezhou introduced them softly, and he finally entered the dressing room safely without embarrassment.
Today's makeup artist was the same one who did Lin Mi's makeup that day. He also brought the clothes that Lin Mi chose. As soon as he saw Lin Mi come in, he quickly asked Lin Mi to sit down and do her makeup.
While there was no one else in the dressing room, Rong Zezhou took off his mask and hat to get some fresh air. The makeup artist originally thought that Rong Zezhou was Lin Mi's assistant, and was about to ask him to bring the suit to Lin Mi, but was stunned when she saw his face.
"Hey, isn't this the God of Ships? You've been to this stadium so many times, how could you have walked into the wrong dressing room? The dressing room for you professional players is on the third floor, and this is the second floor."
The makeup artist thought Rong Zezhou had walked into the wrong room and kindly reminded him.
Rong Zezhou made a sealing gesture to the makeup artist and said, "I came here to accompany Xiaomi. I won't go on stage. I'll go to the front to watch the competition later."
This makeup artist has been working with LPL officials for a long time. He has seen many professional players with different personalities and is not surprised by all kinds of things. After hearing what Rong Zezhou said, he did not ask any more questions. He continued to put on makeup for Lin Mi and said, "Okay, then you sit down. There are drinks in the refrigerator. Take them yourself. I won't greet you."
He said it calmly, but when he was putting makeup on Lin Mi, he couldn't help but be more attentive.
He usually interacts with people in the LPL circle a lot, and knows more about Rong Zezhou than the outside world.
This mid-lane great is not just a top professional player, he has an even more impressive background behind him.
Before the start of this year's spring season, two team owners wanted to sell their teams. One of them was the XY team, which was taken over by Qin Yingzhuo, the young master of the Qin Group. The other was the WDG team. Due to the issue of equity handover, it was delayed for a long time and was not completed until some time ago.
There has been a piece of news circulating in the circle recently that the new boss of the WDG team has a very close relationship with Rong Zezhou, and the reason why he took over the WDG team is because Rong Zezhou wanted to form a new team himself.
Therefore, when the summer season starts, this great mid laner will most likely become the real leader of the WDG team. And when he retires in the future, he may really become the boss of the WDG team.
For such a promising contestant, the thoughtful makeup artist knows how to please him quietly.
Since Rong Zezhou came here with Lin Mi, they must have a very good relationship. If you take good care of Lin Mi, you will establish a good relationship with Rong Zezhou, which may be useful one day in the future.
"Xiaomi, let me paint a teardrop in the same color as your hair on the corner of your eye. You will definitely look stunning on camera later."
The makeup artist was friendly and took the trouble to modify Lin Mi's makeup. "When you take photos on the red carpet later, don't forget to turn your face to the camera."
Lin Mi was attending such an event for the first time, and she did not notice the excessive enthusiasm of the makeup artist. She just agreed obediently. However, Rong Zezhou looked up at the makeup artist for a second and understood in his heart——
This is the news from WDG.
The author has something to say:
In Lin Mi's eyes, Rong Zezhou is weak and pitiful, being bullied everywhere.
Rong Zezhou in the eyes of a makeup artist: a super boss who buys his own team when he disagrees with something!
