As the New Year came to an end, the highly anticipated World Invitational Tournament kicked off.
Among the three teams recommended from the Chinese region, Team E and Team SN are the most talked about.
As the perennial second-best team, SN finally had its day to shine. Fans were moved to tears. As a regular team that won the autumn championship, SN's performance was quite stable. Everyone was very optimistic about SN's overall prospects. Fans were full of confidence and cheered for their brothers every day.
In comparison, as the most troublesome and most unlucky team this year, Team E's fans are forwarding all kinds of koi every day, living a humble and Buddhist life.
May Team E have a safe journey to Paris.
[I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that Team E can play a complete game orz]
[As long as Meng Meier and her brothers don’t cause any trouble, I’ll be satisfied. Really QAQ]
The most important thing in life is to be happy! Whether you win the championship or not, that's just icing on the cake.
【It’s not important, it’s really not important! 】
We don't care. We really are very Buddhist.
It’s so hard to be a fan of this team…everyone is doing sit-ups in their coffins every day QAQ
Even though the fans prayed day and night, something unexpected happened within Team E before the game.
The first signs of trouble were discovered by fans when Yu Mo posted a photo of the Champs-Élysées in Paris on Weibo, and everyone in the team, except Lin Meng, forwarded it.
Fans trembled with fear, thinking that Meng Shen’s phone must have run out of battery, so she was unable to forward it in time. She would definitely forward it when her phone had power...
Then Lin Meng posted a selfie on her Weibo in a very disrespectful manner.
The fans were all worried. Seeing Yu Mo liked her selfie immediately, Lin Meng still did not reciprocate and gave Yu Mo any response. It felt like Yu Mo was trying to please Lin Meng but Lin Meng was giving her a cold shoulder.
The fans were terrified and all kinds of speculations flooded in.
This is not a quarrel, it's a breakup!
On the eve of Worlds, your Team E sniper and support broke up? Are they worried about the championship trophy being too hot or something? Do they really just not want it?
This year's World Championship will be held in Paris, France. All major teams will arrive at the competition site about half a month in advance, one to adapt to the environment, and the other to prepare for early publicity.
The publicity part includes taking photos and recording VLOGs. Unsurprisingly, Team E, where all members have good looks, has become the darling of the publicity and promotion team. According to the planning director, Panda is so fat that he looks like an artilleryman.
"Damn, that's not what they said last year." Panda said this while holding his leather jacket and carrying his prop cannon.
"What did they say last year?" Lin Meng asked curiously.
Xiao Xingheng smiled and said, "Last year they were very confused and asked Panda how you Asians could get so fat..."
"Well, I see you have the potential to win the championship, so I'm trying to get closer to you." Zhong Xiang said, "Alright, stop nagging me. Hurry up and put on your makeup. Lemon, go to the dressing room and change."
With the experience of the Asian Invitational Competition, Lin Meng's acceptance of styling increased significantly. She said "Oh" without thinking too much and went to the fitting room as if she was familiar with the place.
Yu Mo was sitting there quietly browsing her phone while getting her hair done. Panda next to her was screaming under the makeup artist's brush. Compared to the complicated styling of Panda and Lao Mai, Yu Mo basically only needed to apply some foundation to cover his dark circles, and use hairspray and gel to make his black hair look messy. The stylist did a quick job of styling it, looked in the mirror twice, and was very satisfied.
Yu Mo looked up at the mirror and felt that there seemed to be no difference from last year.
Why do they always like to portray him as such aloof and wild? He's clearly going to win this year playing support, so why can't they make him look a little more dignified and elegant?
At this moment, he looked in the mirror and saw a girl in camouflage clothes and high-top combat boots walking slowly towards him.
The girl's radiance was so dazzling that Yu Mo couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Perhaps inspired by the promotional video for the Asian Invitational, the Worlds promotional department saw enough commercial value in Lin Meng to create a custom outfit specifically for her. The outfit featured stylish, slim-fitting camouflage pants and brown boots with a slight heel, which made her legs look incredibly long. The leather belt and buckle were meticulously designed with the official BOD pattern, giving her a uniform-like feel.
The most important thing is that the black vest inside the half-length vest is actually navel-exposing——
Yu Mo's eyes silently moved around the girl's flat white belly.
When Lin Meng walked out, she was still fastening the buckle of her decorative belt and heard the people around her exclaiming and gasping.
There was a full-length mirror on the left hand side. Lin Meng turned sideways and looked at herself in the mirror. This was the first time she tried this style of clothes, and it was unexpectedly fresh. Moreover, there was no fat on her belly, and her skin color formed a sharp contrast with the dark camouflage fabric.
She put her hands on her hips, looked left and right, and was surprised by her own beauty.
"Hey, my legs are pretty long." She said to herself.
"Oh my god!" Panda turned his head and stared with his eyes wide open: "So fucking sexy, oh shit--" As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Mo beside him suddenly leaned on the armrest and stood up from the swivel chair.
Before Lin Meng could finish admiring her own heroic appearance, the captain suddenly appeared and grabbed her hand and dragged her away.
"Hey hey hey—what are you doing!"
Yu Mo found the costume designer with familiarity and asked concisely, "Do you have any bottoms that don't expose your belly?"
The costume designer was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Yes, there is, but——"
"If you have one, change this one." Yu Mo said decisively.
The costume designer said awkwardly, "But I think this combination is more eye-catching and beautiful—"
Lin Meng: "Yeah! I think it looks good too! I won't change it!"
Yu Mo: "Shut up." He then looked at the costume designer with a cold look in his eyes: "LEMON has been in a special situation these days and can't get cold. It will affect her performance during the competition, so I'm sorry, please change her clothes for her."
The costume designer was still hesitant, and at this time, the general manager came over.
The person in charge was very smooth and at the same time maintained a certain respect for Yu Mo, so when Yu Mo reiterated his opinion, he knew that his little trick of taking advantage of the situation would not work, so he agreed very readily.
"We always prepare a lot of plans in order to perfectly coordinate the guest contestants and activities. It can be seen that we organizers are still very humane." He tried to smooth things over like Wang Po selling melons.
Yu Mo didn't waste any words with him. He just said "thank you" lightly and urged Lin Meng to change her clothes.
Lin Meng felt very confused along the way.
"What kind of straight male aesthetic is that?" She stiffened her neck and kept yelling, "Navel-baring tops are obviously very flattering!"
"So what if it looks good? Have you ever thought about the kind of people you're attracting this way?" Yu Mo frowned and said, "Do you want fan fiction to be everywhere after a game?"
Lin Meng was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" She stamped her feet. "You! You're filthy!"
"I'm telling the truth." Yu Mo was unusually serious. "The organizers want to get something for nothing. They want to use you to attract more traffic and attention. They don't care what impact this will have on your personal image."
"You're making a mountain out of a molehill!" Lin Meng said, "You clearly don't want me to wear a belly-baring top in front of other men!"
"I wouldn't mind if you normally wore suspenders or short skirts," Yu Mo said. "But when it comes to tournament promotions, I hope my players attract fans with their superb skills and excellent team spirit, not their sex appeal."
"You're just being feudal and conservative! Stop making excuses to be so hypocritical!" Lin Meng said, "You're just relying on your looks to attract people!"
"I never show my chest and abdominal muscles," Yu Mo said. "I didn't even wear low-waist pants before or after the game."
"You--" Lin Meng couldn't argue with him, and stood there angrily, refusing to move.
"Go change quickly." Yu Mo said, "I'm the captain and I have the final say."
In the end, Lin Meng still wore a black base shirt with a camouflage half-length vest, with the hem tucked into her pants to outline her slender and tight waistline. She finished the whole shoot with a stern face, which made her look cool and cute.
Yu Mo's camouflage uniform looks as tall and handsome as ever, and the three old men, Panda and Alu, each have their own cute characteristics. In the promotional video, they collectively run into the depths of the jungle. A strong wind blows, and Lin Meng looks back unexpectedly. Her hair flutters in the wind, her eyes are firm, and one glance lasts for a thousand years. Behind her, Yu Mo raises his lips and smiles, showing his confidence and kingly demeanor.
Both the portrait photos and vlogs have won unanimous praise from fans.
But because of this incident, Lin Meng felt that Yu Mo was extremely possessive and she resented Yu Mo for many days.
After the promotional photo shoot, Yu Mo didn't think anything of it and continued to communicate and interact with Lin Meng as usual. However, the whole process was awkward and felt like a "warm response".
Until the start of the group stage, the relationship between them had not eased.
The team's sniper and support are having a conflict, but they can still communicate and cooperate well after they go on the court? Just kidding.
When fans of Team E heard the news, they all said they had bought their coffins and were ready to lie down.
Unexpectedly, after the first round of group matches, Team E took the lead and advanced to the round of 16.
The fans were overjoyed and felt very pleased with Team E's ability to "separate public and private matters."
Afterwards, the official released the team voice chat of Team E during the game.
There is a paragraph in it that is very confusing.
Lin Meng: "...A Lu, please move aside a bit. There's a guy on West 15th... You're the only one who's so open-minded and magnanimous. I don't think you know how to spell the word 'open-minded and magnanimous'. Believe it or not, I wouldn't care even if you ran around naked without pants. That's what I call open-minded and magnanimous... Give me two seconds. I've got the kills. Get ready to move forward."
Fans in the comment section were stunned.
[Fuck, can you guys please have a little respect for this competition?!]
[It's the World Championship after all! Your opponents don't have any respect!]
This is the worst time LUO has ever been attacked... I even suspect Team E is just playing for fun...
[The Lemon God is indeed the Great Devil [laughing and crying][laughing and crying]]
Only Lemon God would scold his boyfriend while playing a game 8
[After all, she was the woman who defeated the cheater in the Asian Invitational! ]
So am I the only one who cares about what the "enlightened and generous" meme is?
[It seems like a very difficult topic to describe [funny].]
Lin Meng didn't know that she had become popular again for some strange reasons. She was talking to Lin Sitian on the phone in the hotel, frantically bringing up Yu Mo's past.
Lin Sitian said while eating melon seeds: "I'm standing by Mo Shen for this one."
Lin Meng: "You're a nymphomaniac!"
Lin Sitian: "What a crazy fan! I'm not interested in God Mo anymore. I have a boyfriend. He looks like Daniel Wu! He's more than 1,800 times more handsome than God Mo."
Lin Meng: “…”
She almost jumped up and yelled at Lin Sitian, "You're talking nonsense, my Yu Mo is the most handsome in the world." But she felt that after yelling this, the topic between them would completely go off track and could never be brought back.
"Why?" she asked instead.
"Because he's right." Lin Sitian said, "Do you know that cosplayer Tang Xiaotu from before?"
Lin Meng: “I know.”
Lin Sitian: "She was originally just a serious cosplayer, but then she became the face of a web game and took a set of hot photos. Someone used Photoshop to turn her into an X-photo and circulated it everywhere. After that, she was approached by more and more people for similar endorsements... You know, this industry is a big melting pot." After a pause, she sighed and said, "Forget it, straight female gamers like you don't understand. I understand better."
Lin Meng choked and felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned that."
"It's okay, it's all over." Lin Sitian said nonchalantly, "Then why are you still giving God Mo a hard time? You're such a heartless person."
"Then what should I do?" Lin Meng felt aggrieved.
"Give him a way out." Lin Sitian said, "Okay, I'm done chatting with you. My boyfriend called."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Meng fell into deep thought.
She thought, it wasn't Yu Mo who had no way out, it was clearly her who had no way out.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Are you asleep?" It was Yu Mo's voice.
Lin Meng was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and opened the door.
When the door opened, a man was standing at the door, holding his Leibao 778 worth more than 30,000 yuan.
Lin Meng took a step back, almost thinking that Yu Mo was going to smash her head with the keyboard.
"Are you still angry?" Yu Mo said, "Well, I'll let you pick off my keycaps. You can vent your anger on them, and don't be angry yourself."
Lin Meng was stunned for a moment, looked at the keyboard in his hand, and then looked at the man's serious face.
"I know you're going to call me a straight guy again." Yu Mo said, "But you used to get so angry you would pick at the keycaps when you lost games. I think this might work. Sorry, I really can't think of any other way to coax you." He shrugged and smiled helplessly.
Lin Meng's heart ached, and a feeling of guilt suddenly surged up.
Why is her temper so bad? Yu Mo...how can he be so nice?
She was speechless and could only put her arms around the man's neck.
"I'm sorry." She sighed softly, "I...I'm sorry."
Yu Mo was stunned for a moment and laughed.
"Actually, I have selfish motives as well." He closed the door and walked Lin Meng towards the bed, saying softly, "I really can't stand other men looking at you. I'm petty, selfish, and possessive."
"It's okay." Lin Meng shook her head and said, "You like me, I know."
"Well...you said during the day that you are very open-minded and generous." Yu Mo sat down on the edge of the bed and stretched out his hand to pull her to sit on his lap.
"Yeah." Lin Meng nodded, not understanding why.
"Well, you said you wouldn't care even if I took off my pants." Yu Mo's hand climbed onto her lower back and he laughed meaningfully: "I want to know, is this true?"
The author has something to say:
Lin Meng:?? Put on your pants before you talk!
Well, Yu Mo wants to be flirty, and he can be flirty whenever he wants.
