Along with the reporters' rapid-fire questions, Qiao Ran also heard the shouts and screams from Pei Yan's fans not far away.
"Ahhhhhh! Pei Shen is so handsome! Pei Shen, look at me!"
"Come on, Pei Shen! We support you!"
"Reporter, can you please move aside? You're blocking my handsome face!"
......
Oh, it turns out there were fans at the scene, but they all seemed to be Pei Yan’s personal fans.
"If you are so curious about our new support, you can wait until the end of today's game. There will be an MVP interview after the game." Pei Yan only replied with this sentence.
Jiang Wenzhou and Zhang Qian had already gotten out of the car from the other side, walked around, blocked the reporters, and made a way for others.
"Get off the car." Pei Yan turned around and motioned Qiao Ran to follow.
Qiao Ran took a deep breath, got out of the car, and followed Pei Yan closely, his eyes fixed on Pei Yan's strong back, trying to ignore the shutter sounds coming from both sides.
Zhao Jie, Sun Kai and others also got out of the car as quickly as possible, sandwiching Qiao Ran in the middle.
Finally, without any problems, we entered the venue safely.
"Are you okay?" Pei Yan confirmed Qiao Ran's condition.
Qiao Ran shook her head. From beginning to end, she only saw Pei Yan's back, and only caught a few flashes of light from the corner of her eye. The expected scenes of fanatical fans throwing bottles and smashing things to protest her did not occur at all.
The reception staff led them to an exclusive lounge, where everyone found a seat and sat down casually. There was still some time before the game started.
"The first round of the regular season will be BO5, so let's play it safe. This is Xiao Qiao's first time on the court, so let's make some cool plays first and play two games with normal support." Zhang Qian gave them his final instructions.
Qiao Ran nodded, indicating that he accepted the arrangement.
Pei Yan rested his hands on the sofa, leaning lazily against it, and suddenly said, "If we win the first two games in a row, can we play the next game as we please?"
As soon as Pei Yan said this, Sun Kai understood his intention and said with a smile: "Captain is anxious to clear Xiao Ran's name."
"Can you be sure of winning just by fighting? If something unexpected happens, you're not helping Qiao Ran, you're hurting him!" Zhang Qian disagreed with such a risk. "Qiao Ran wants to show his strength. There will be many opportunities in the future. It's better to be cautious this time."
The proposal was rejected. Pei Yan didn't say anything, but he had an idea in his mind.
——
Moran contacted Chou Chou early in the morning, and the two arrived at the venue early and sat in the audience.
The seats next to the two of them were still empty, and there were only a few people sitting in the rows behind them. It was obvious that they had arrived early.
Moran glanced at the time: "Why is it only half past four? It will start in half an hour..."
"I told you there's no need to come out so early. We can't go backstage, so why are we just sitting here?" Chou Chou took out his phone and invited Moran to join him. "How about a game?"
Mo Lan refused without even looking at him. Her mind was full of thoughts: Was Qiao Ran here? Was he nervous? Would he feel uncomfortable on stage? Would the other audience members start scolding Qiao Ran when they saw him? Should she fight back if she heard them?
I have no time to think about anything else, let alone playing with Chouchou.
Chou Chou didn't quite understand girls' feelings. He also hoped that Qiao Ran could have an outstanding performance today, but he definitely wouldn't be like Moran, who had no appetite and looked like he was going crazy.
Just now, while driving here, Moran sat in the passenger seat and prayed all the way. She prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the East, to the God and angels in the West, and even to some small churches in small countries.
It's just like this when you have children taking the college entrance examination...
Moran was still muttering various blessing words. He turned around to talk to Chouchou and inadvertently caught a glimpse of someone behind them.
I don't know when two more people appeared in the originally empty seats. They were dressed normally, but I don't know why they were wearing hats, sunglasses and masks indoors, with almost no part of their faces exposed.
Are they here to watch a game or to rob a bank?
Moran had never watched the live game, so she signaled to Chou Chou with her eyes.
Chou Chou followed Moran's gaze and also noticed the strange presence of the two people.
He pulled Moran closer and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "What do you think...are they some haters of some group? Are they going to rush onto the stage to cause trouble or something?"
"If that's the case, they're probably targeting Qiao Qiao. Let's both pay more attention and keep a close eye on these two."
Chouchou nodded in agreement.
While Moran and Chou Chou were talking, Pei's father and mother, who had been regarded as key suspects, knew nothing about it.
Pei's mother pulled Pei's father and said, "Why is it the second row? You said the first row in front, where you can see closer, that would be much better."
Father Pei rolled his eyes. "It's good enough to get a ticket. Why are you being so picky? What's the difference between sitting here and sitting in the front?"
"Didn't they say no one is optimistic about NSD? Why is it so hard to get votes..." Pei's mother complained dissatisfiedly.
"Even if you're not optimistic, it doesn't matter if you come over to watch the fun. We never watched these things before, and we still went through the trouble to come here today."
Mother Pei patted Father Pei's thigh: "Is it the same? Are we here to watch the fun?"
…
The conversation between the two fell into the ears of Moran and Chou Chou in the front row, who were listening attentively and paying close attention to their every move.
"There's something wrong with these two people..." Moran whispered.
"Let's pay more attention." As he said that, Chouchou sat up straight so that he could react immediately if the other party made any move.
The competition was about to begin, and more and more people came to the venue.
There was a lot of discussion about NSD all around, mixed with a lot of harsh words, all of which were directed at Qiao Ran without exception.
"Today I want to see how NSD fights!"
"What can we do? The other team has four defenders and one defender, so they just protect the beauty!"
"If it weren't for the competition, I would be willing to give up the kill if there was such a beautiful woman playing support for me."
"That's right, after all, what's given up is a human head, what can be gained~ hehehe..."
......
Hearing these dirty words, Moran's fists hardened.
Pei's father and mother's faces also darkened under their sunglasses and masks.
Why are these young people so uneducated nowadays...
——
In the backstage lounge, the organizer came to inform the team members to prepare to enter.
Jiang Wenzhou patted everyone on the shoulders and said, "Come on!"
"Are you ready?" Pei Yan looked at Qiao Ran who stood up and straightened his team uniform.
"Yes! I'm ready!" Qiao Ran's eyes were firm and fearless.
"I've been holding my anger for so long, it's time to avenge myself today." Pei Yan's voice was not loud, but it was resounding.
"Fuck him!" Zhao Jie was the first to respond.
"Yes! Press them into the river and rub them!" Ye Xiaofan moved his wrists very vigorously. Those who didn't know him would think he was going to fight.
Sun Kai also laughed and said, "Let them know who the father is!"
As soon as he finished saying this, he walked out of the lounge door and bumped into the guys from LC.
There was a sneer on the other person's lips and a look of disdain, as if he didn't take the NSD people seriously at all.
When passing by Qiao Ran, he sneered: "Little sister, don't cry and call me brother later~"
Zhao Jie couldn't stand seeing his teammates being bullied, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Whoever cries is a grandson!"
Qiao Ran snorted lightly, full of disgust: "No way."
Zhao Jie's brain was so quick that he immediately realized what was happening. He said with a smile, "That's right. Our Xiao Qiao is so pretty, how could she have such an ugly grandson!"
Ye Xiaofan and the others couldn't help but laugh along with Zhao Jie.
The damage is just like that, extremely insulting!
The other party immediately pointed at Qiao Ran's nose and rushed forward.
Pei Yan took a step forward, blocking Qiao Ran behind him, and looked indifferently at the helpless and furious team members on the opposite side: "There are surveillance cameras everywhere here. Do you know you can't win and want to just give up the game?"
The opposing coach grabbed the player and warned him in a low voice, "Don't cause trouble!"
"You little bitch, just wait for me!" The other party glared at Qiao Ran fiercely.
Qiao Ran didn't take it to heart at all. As for the line "wait", she had no idea how many times she had heard the debt collectors say it since the incident at home.
In comparison, what this person said had no momentum at all and could not scare anyone at all.
"Kaizi, this will put pressure on you and Xiao Qiao. With this wave of hatred, they will definitely try to catch Xiao Qiao. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to develop." Zhao Jie looked at his brother sympathetically.
Sun Kai knew how bad this situation was for an ADC like him, but he couldn't put pressure on Qiao Ran. He could only comfort himself: "It's okay, I'll be a little sneaky, Xiao Ran will go back and disrupt them. If they try to kill me by jumping over the tower, I may not be able to return alive."
"Qiao Ran, follow me first in the first game. Sun Kai, you should focus on developing in the early stage." Pei Yan temporarily adjusted his strategy.
As a coach, Zhang Qian had no objection to this.
If the opponent really wanted to target Qiao Ran, given the levels of Pei Yan and Sun Kai, it would indeed be better for her to follow Pei Yan.
"I'll follow your instructions." The game hadn't started yet, and the situation on the field couldn't be predicted. Qiao Ran had no way to give his opinion for the time being. The only thing he could do was cooperate.
——
"Hello, everyone. I am your old friend A Guang."
"I am a leaf."
"Today, we will bring you commentary on this Group A match."
"The two teams facing off today are truly formidable. I'm sure the audience, both in person and on screen, have been following these two teams closely. So, who will emerge victorious today? Let's wait and see."
As commentators A Guang and Ye Zi started talking, players from both teams had already taken their seats.
I don’t know if it’s because they just had a hard time at NSD, but the faces of the LC guys all looked very ugly.
On the contrary, here at NSD, everyone looked relaxed, and even occasionally whispered to each other.
Qiao Ran sat there. She originally thought that she would feel a little uncomfortable facing so many spectators before the game started and before she put on her headphones.
But now, her mind was full of what hero she should choose, and she didn't pay any attention to the excitement of the audience when they saw her.
…
"Is that their team's new support? She looks even prettier than the pictures online."
When Pei's mother saw Qiao Ran appear behind Pei Yan, her eyes suddenly lit up. If she wasn't afraid of being photographed, she would even want to take off her sunglasses and take a closer look.
"What's the use of just being pretty? In their line of work, you need to be able to fight." Since Father Pei sat here, he has heard a lot of negative comments about Qiao Ran.
After listening to their conversation, Moran in the front row became even more convinced that the two were black fans. If she wasn't afraid of causing trouble, she really wanted to go back and have a good talk with the two of them. Why couldn't she, Qiao Qiao, fight?
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, watch the game, this is Qiao Ran's first game!" Chou Chou reminded.
"Ah! Right!" Moran didn't have time to argue with these people anymore. He quickly took out a camera from his bag and held it in his hand. "Such an important moment, I have to record it for Qiao Ran."
"Is it that serious? There's video of the competition." Chouchou didn't understand the girls' sense of ritual.
"How can that be the same? You straight guys won't understand!"
Chou Chou shook his head, thinking that Qiao Ran might not understand, she was even more straight than him!
——
The match was being broadcast live online, and many spectators who couldn't make it to the event, but were eager to watch, had been glued to their screens since early morning. Of course, there were definitely keyboard warriors among them, clutching their keyboards and ready to go. If Qiao Ran made even the slightest mistake, they'd launch an attack!
The live broadcast platform of the event was crowded for a while, especially after the NSD players entered the field, the barrage of comments started to scroll wildly.
[It's started! It's started! It's about to start! Place your bets. NSD and LC meet again. Who will win? Bet on it!]
[A bag of spicy noodles bet on LC. There's a woman in NSD, and it's good enough that she doesn't hold back. How can we win with 4 vs. 6?]
[There's no beauty filter on live events, right? This girl is too pretty!]
[This is hilarious! Is this a beauty pageant? What's the point of getting slapped in the face?!]
[Maybe I can rely on my luck to defeat the enemy players~]
[Can you please not be so vulgar when watching a game? Is being good-looking a sin?]
[It’s quite nice. I wonder how much it cost. I guess I’ll have to spend a lot of nights at NSD.]
[I pooped with my mouth this morning. Why is it so smelly?]
......
In the live broadcast barrage, major e-sports forums and Weibo, all parties were arguing fiercely.
The competition begins here.
