You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 153 (1)

Tong Yao went back to the break room and simply sat there, feeling rather down.

Her teammates were all quite attentive and her emotional state was soon discovered by the teams support, or nanny, Little Fatty-- --Little Fatty stuffed the crackers in his hand into Lu Sichengs and turned around to ask Tong Yao: Whats this?

Lu Sicheng offhandedly lifted up Tong Yaos chin and stuffed the crackers into her mouth. Then he tepidly said: Havent lost enough times. Once things go against the wind, she shivers and is afraid of taking the blame. Shes scared to go on.

Little Fatty was taken aback hearing it. But then he quickly changed his expression to indifference as if to say oh, whats the big deal, dont scare me. 

Im not afraid of taking the blame With the crackers in her mouth, Tong Yao couldnt speak clearly. She stared at Lu Sicheng, then chewed on the crackers as if they were Lu Sichengs head. After swallowing the crackers, she also took a sip of the green tea latte the staff had bought for them. The latte was sweet, but it didnt save her from feeling miserable. She couldnt think straight: Im nervous. Ive never played such an important match-- --To make matters worse, Ive met an insidious player like Ai Jia who I cant really handle I thought about this while playing the match earlier and couldnt come up with a better solution, so I thought it might be better for Lu Yue to go on.

As she was talking, her fingers were scratching on the edge of the paper cup she was holding in her hand. Her movement indicated that she was still fretting.

Lu Sicheng nodded: You spoke so much. You just havent lost enough.

Tong Yao rolled her eyes and collapsed back into the chair.

Lu Yue giggled as he stretched out his long legs, just like his brothers, next to her: What, you want me to go up by yourself? Its better if I go on, I can hide from Ai Jia all the way till the end of the match.

Tong Yao picked up an empty cup next to her and threw it at Lu Yue. Lu Yue dodged and asked, still snickering: This isnt the first time youve lost to YQCB-- --Weve lost to them once during the summer season. Besides, before when you were bullied by TATs Ah Tai and shivered whenever you saw him, what happened next? Is this how you reconstructed your confidence?

That time it was just a group match that we lost to YQCB. Besides, so many things had happened afterwards, I didnt even have the time to really savor the taste of losing. As for Ah Tai, I just keep thinking hes also a human being so Im not that afraid of him anymore-- --Ah, but, nowadays whenever we have skirmishes with TAT, we never won if I was on. Ahhhh, what's the use of not being afraid of him, I simply cant beat him. What to do, Im quite desperate too! Tong Yao looked up to take a look at Lu Sicheng who had pulled over a chair to sit right in front of Tong Yao. He leaned back into the chair and quietly looked at her. Tong Yao hesitated for a moment before continuing: Besides its the finals. I wasnt doing well just now. Im afraid that I cant adjust myself in time for the next match and hold all of you back.

Everyone in the break room all looked at each other after hearing Tong Yao.

My friend, there are all kinds of opponents in the esport world. You think youre the legendary professional mid Faker who had never met an opponent equal to him-- --Even Faker dies in game. In your professional life, you're bound to meet an opponent who you cant handle. At times like this, besides trying to run away, you should learn to stay low and give the chance to carry to the other teammates. Lu Yue pointed at Lu Sichengs stone face: During a match, you have this kind of person sitting right next to you. Havent you ever had the urge to just sit there and wait to win the game?

Tong Yao: ......

She never did. All she was thinking was Im mid, I have to carry, I cant mess up, I cant just do nothing, I cant hold others back, all of those things were not allowed-- --

Before she had the chance to say something, Lu Sicheng pushed Lu Yues hand away with a cold face. Lu Yue took his hand back and said: Dont always think that you have to carry in order to win the game. You cant carry the team your whole life-- --My brothers right. You just havent lost enough. If youve seen enough ways to lose a match, youll realize that everyone has the chance to take the blame. Itll be your turn sooner or later Our teammate Old Cats being called our teams weak point everyday. Youre a newcomer, what are you afraid of?

Old Cat humphed: Yeah, just sitting there waiting for the win makes me happy. 

Ming god raised his thumb at Lu Yue: Ill issue you a graduation certificate from kindergarten after we get home.
