Back in the TG lounge, the atmosphere was solemn.

Chen Yuzheng had a cold face.

The team leader turned around, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed, "You played very well in the last few games. You did your best today."

Ultraman also lost his former vitality. He sat on a chair, his elbows on his knees and his hands covering his face.

There were more than a dozen people in the lounge, but not a single person spoke.

...

...

Despite the low mood, they still had to go for the post-match interview. The TG team was taken to the interview room by the staff and sat down one by one.

Gun Esports was the first to ask Killer, "As a new team, you made it all the way to the finals, but now you lost to OG. Do you have anything to say?"

"It's fine." Killer forced a smile, picked up the microphone, and pretended to be relaxed: "We have few fans, so there are few sad people. Everyone is happy."

The second person to ask a question was Ultraman, and his question was a bit sharp: "Does the Internet pay attention to your comments? Will it affect your mentality?"

"Pay attention. We all know what people are saying online." Ultraman's face was heavy. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Many people don't think highly of us. We have been fighting until today just because we don't want to be looked down upon by those people."

After saying this, his eyes turned red and he lowered his head to hide his emotions.

The other team members all turned their heads to look at him. The interview room was quiet for a while.

It's Chen Yuzheng's turn.

Another self-media user stood up and said: "In the first two games, you and Fish were both at a disadvantage. Was it stressful to play against him?"

He: “Not awake yet.”

"... ..."

"... ..."

This answer made the questioner choke. He choked for a moment and continued to ask, "Then how did you adjust your state in the next few games?"

Chen Yuzheng replied perfunctorily: “Nothing has been adjusted.”

After he finished speaking, he thought of something and absentmindedly corrected himself, "Oh, I drank a glass of juice."

The game is over, walk out from the back passage.

It was nearly eleven o'clock and there was still a small group of fans waiting.

The people watching tg came closer, but the group of fans didn't gather around them. They just watched them from a distance.

Just before getting on the bus, someone called out, "--Chen Yuzheng!"

He looked back.

Fans picked up the megaphone and shouted, "Chen Yuzheng, don't lose heart! We are all waiting for the day when you win the championship. Walk with your head held high, there is nothing to be ashamed of!!!"

"And Killer, Van, Ultraman, Thomas, come on everyone!!! We'll see you in the finals in the summer season!"

Everyone was in a bad mood, but they still waved to them.

On the way back, someone in the car was sleeping with headphones on. Ultraman leaned his forehead against the car window looking at the night view outside. It was quiet and almost no one spoke.

After arriving at the hotel, Yu Nuo returned to the room, curled up on the sofa and chatted with Xiang Jiajia for a while.

At the end of the day, both of them were too tired to move.

"Alas..." Xiang Jiajia sighed and flipped through the photos she took today, "Too depressing..."

Yu Nuo comforted her, "It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future."

She has been with Yu Ge through many low points.

No one can always be smooth sailing in the professional arena. The past is the past, and all we can do is look forward. TG is still young, and there are many possibilities in the future.

The final between tg and og was still on several hot searches until twelve o'clock.

There was unexpectedly no verbal fight this time, and many people sincerely congratulated Awen on finally realizing his dream.

OG fans shook off the bad luck of losing to TG and stood up to happily draw prizes in the super chat. As for TG, the strongest background in history, OG tp'd the home team in the fifth game. It even attracted a lot of pity.

The official tg account gained more than 100,000 followers in a few hours, and all the comments were from career fans:

In? When will you open a Weibo account for your team members

The game was pretty good tonight. I thought we were going to be defeated og3:0, but we were able to catch up in two rounds. The fans are already satisfied.

Don't be a Buddhist, t-baby, take advantage of the popularity and post more photos of your ad to attract fans. Show some energy! Will you buy marketing? Will you buy press releases? I have thought of the title for you! The rise of a genius ad starts from the runner-up -

Yu Nuo was charging his phone when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

I opened the door to Jia Jia and looked out. It was Killer. "Want to go for a midnight snack?"

Xiao Ying and others were also there.

Yu Nuo rarely saw them taking off their team uniforms.

It felt a bit fresh, so I took a second look at it.

Chen Yuzheng was wearing a white T-shirt. He must have just taken a shower, so his hair was still a little wet.

There were many open-air food stalls nearby, so they just picked one at random.

Several people sat down around the table. On Yu Nuo's left was Xiang Jiajia, and on the right was an empty seat. She was also a little hungry, so she played with her chopsticks and studied the menu carefully.

After a while, someone sat down next to me.

Several people looked at two menus in total.

Yu Nuo finished reading and was about to hand it to Xiang Jiajia, who was chatting with Xiao Ying. Yu Nuo turned around and handed the menu to the person on the right, "You order."

Ultraman just finished ordering, and he and Yu Nuo handed the menu to Chen Yuzheng beside them at the same time: "What do you want?"

Yu Nuo was about to pull her hand back when Chen Yuzheng pulled the menu out of her hand.

Ultraman who was left aside: “… ?”

He choked up and tried to save his dignity, "Chen Yuzheng, I gave it to you too, didn't you see it?"

Chen Yuzheng flipped through the menu and said nonchalantly, "She gave it to me first."

"Are you questioning the hand speed of a professional player?" Ultraman was unconvinced and argued, "Everyone saw it. It was obviously me who gave it first."

"Is it?" Ultraman asked Killer, "Did I give it to him first?"

Killer couldn't stand it any longer: "Okay, stop humiliating yourself."

"That's right." Van was convinced. "Stop talking, Manman. I'll be embarrassed for you if you keep talking."

There was a burst of laughter.

They were talking about Ultraman on the surface, but actually they were making fun of Chen Yuzheng.

Chen Yuzheng flipped through the menu and ignored them.

Yu Nuo was a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, the topic was quickly brought to a head.

The proprietress put the cup on the table. The water was next to Yu Nuo. She poured a glass of water for everyone.

Killer: "Yu Nuo, I found that you really like to take care of people. I feel embarrassed."

"Hmm?" Yu Nuo looked up at him, "It's okay. I'm so much older than you guys, so it's my duty to take care of you."

"How do you look older than us?" Killer said with a click of his tongue. "When I first saw you, I thought you were a rebellious high school student. You dyed your hair pink back then, right? Pretty fashionable."

"This..." Yu Nuo pondered.

Chen Yuzheng, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "How old are you?"

"I'm 22, almost 23 if you count my age." Yu Nuo thought for a moment, "Three or four years older than you."

Chen Yuzheng felt slightly unhappy: "Three years old is also considered old?"

This question made Yu Nuo stunned for a moment, and he answered very seriously: "My cousin is also 19 years old, and he is still a child in my eyes."

Chen Yuzheng corrected: "I am 20 years old."

As soon as he finished speaking, Van laughed and mercilessly exposed: "You just had your birthday last week."

Altman sighed, patted Chen Yuzheng on the shoulder, and said, "Did you hear that, Chen Yuzheng? You are still a little friend."

The midnight snack and wine came up quickly. Several boys drank beer and ordered white wine. After a few rounds, except for Xiao Ying and Yu Nuo who couldn't drink, everyone else was drunk.

Ultraman lay on the table and muttered incoherently: "Damn it, I'm going to win the championship one day and slap the faces of those who look down on us."

Killer shouted: "Well said! Win the championship!!!"

The young people's wishes were blown away by the night wind.

Fortunately, the hotel was not far away, and they supported each other back to the hotel lobby. Everyone lay on the sofa and refused to move.

Xiao Ying was the only boy there, working tirelessly to send them back to their rooms one by one.

Yu Nuo and Xiang Jiajia were left to look after them.

killer suddenly vomited and stumbled out the door.

Xiang Jiajia was startled and afraid that something might happen, so she quickly followed him.

Chen Yuzheng sat on the sofa, hunched over, with his head supported by his hands. He looked as if he was also having a headache, and his face was pale.

He had vomited once before, and Yu Nuo was a little worried, "Do you want to drink some water?"

Chen Yuzheng was a beat slower and shook his head.

"Today..." He spoke suddenly in a low and hoarse voice, and then stopped.

Yu Nuo nodded and waited for the next words.

"Juice, thank you."

Yu Nuo: "It's okay."

Chen Yuzheng stared at her, his drunken eyes watery, "Are you disappointed?"

"What?" Yu Nuo didn't understand.

“I lost.”

Yu Nuo was stunned for a moment, and replied cautiously: "I'm not disappointed."

"Happy for your brother?"

He suddenly mentioned Yu Ge, and Yu Nuo was a little unresponsive.

Chen Yuzheng saw into her eyes and said, "I drank your juice, but I didn't beat your brother."

Yu Nuo didn't know if he was drunk and talking nonsense, or what, so she could only half comfort him and half deal with him: "You are already very good. Although I don't understand it very well, you all performed very well today." She racked her brains to think of an adjective, "It's just, um... very exciting, very passionate."

After a moment of silence, Chen Yuzheng said, "Why are you speaking so officially?"

Yu Nuo: “…”

After Chen Yuzheng finished speaking, he turned his head back.

The phone vibrated and Yu Nuo received a message.

A message from Xiao Ying: Sorry to bother you, please help take care of Chen Yuzheng. One of them vomited on me. I'll clean it up and then go down.

...

...

At one o'clock in the morning, the official photographer of the League of Legends LPL region posted a set of game photos.

There were Awen crying, OG members toasting, and several TG players looking dejected. Yu Nuo saw this Weibo post and scrolled through the photos, looking at them one by one.

The eighth picture was of Chen Yuzheng. She paused.

At the end of the fifth game, he lowered his head and closed his eyes before leaving the stage, with only his profile showing.

The light and angle were just right, the background was a shadow, Chen Yuzheng and the trophy on the stage were on the left and right, only a few centimeters apart. The light on his shoulders sparkled, full of artistic conception.

Yu Nuo had an indescribable feeling.

I watched it several times and secretly saved this picture.

After reading this Weibo post, I automatically jumped to the next one. It was a video. As soon as I clicked it, I heard an excited voice:

Today, Xiaox is going to dig up some of the face-slapping remarks made by er——

At this time of night, the hotel lobby was very quiet, so this sentence was particularly abrupt.

Yu Nuo was stunned.

In a panic, she wanted to turn off her phone, but accidentally pressed the volume button. After hastily exiting the phone, she looked up and saw that the person was looking at her.

"I... that." Yu Nuo looked away from the phone and spoke incoherently, trying to clarify the misunderstanding, "That..."

Chen Yuzheng tilted his head, his eyes lingering on her face, his expression lazy, and said slowly: "Search me secretly?"

Yu Nuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turned off his phone. "No, I just clicked it accidentally."

"You just saved my photo." Chen Yuzheng said.

Yu Nuo: “…”

If there was a hole in the ground right now, she would just crawl into it.

Yu Nuo's heartbeat quickened, fast and heavy, and he subconsciously denied, "That's not you."

"er isn't it me?"

There was a long and awkward silence, and even the air seemed to be stagnant for a few seconds.

Yu Nuo's face must have turned red, and he pretended to be calm: "Chen Yuzheng, are you drunk?"

"Yes." Chen Yuzheng repeated, "You saved my photo, I saw it."

Yu Nuo watched him leaning closer to her, and couldn't help but move to the side.

"How is it?" Chen Yuzheng came close to her and stopped, "Am I handsome?"
