Yu Nuo was silent.
After Yu Ge finished explaining, someone called out to him, and he said, "Okay, that's it. I'm hanging up."
After two beeps, the earphones returned to complete silence.
Yu Nuo pursed her lips and looked at Chen Yuzheng, who had a dull expression. She tried to explain: "Um... my brother..."
Chen Yuzheng's narrow eyes slightly raised, and he hummed absentmindedly, "It's okay."
Van and Ultraman were arguing in the front row again. Thomas rushed to the front line, and the three of them were fighting in their seats.
Suddenly the scene became very lively.
After a phone call with Yu Ge, Chen Yuzheng said nothing, took off his headphones, and just leaned back in his chair, watching the people in front of him playing.
Yu Nuo felt uneasy. He tilted his head, observed his expression for a while, then stretched out his finger and poked him.
Chen Yuzheng glanced over: "What's wrong?"
Yu Nuo sat a little closer and gently pulled the hem of his clothes, "Are you unhappy?"
Chen Yuzheng was silent.
Yu Nuo felt guilty and apologized to him: "I'm sorry..."
She didn't even notice when she said this, her eyes looked pitiful, like a kitten that had fallen out of favor.
"What's there to be sorry about?"
She hesitated: "I haven't told my brother about what happened with you. He doesn't know anything now, and he might be a little prejudiced against you."
Although people often joke online that Yu Ge and Chen Yuzheng never meet, and their fans often scold them. But in fact, they have no contact with each other in private, and there is no deep hatred between them. After the last intercontinental game, OG's people even came to drink with TG's people.
It’s just that Yu Ge’s personality is difficult to approach, and coupled with previous events, he feels that some of Chen Yuzheng’s behaviors are rather frivolous, so he doesn’t have a good impression of him.
But it shouldn't be to this extent that I feel disgusted.
But...if he knew now that she was together with Chen Yuzheng, Yu Ge might not be able to accept it all at once, and might even ask her to resign from tg immediately.
Yu Nuo pulled at the corner of his clothes: "Give me some time, I will definitely tell my brother."
"It's okay, no rush." Chen Yuzheng reached out and hooked her chin, "Let's talk about it later."
"Um?"
"I'm still unsure."
"What's the bottom line?"
He looked carefree, "I'm not afraid that your brother will break up the couple and ruin my girlfriend who I finally got."
Yu Nuo: “… … ..”
She couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Didn't I chase you?"
Chen Yuzheng smiled, snorted softly, and did not comment.
If he hadn't deliberately seduced her, she probably wouldn't have taken action even if she had waited a hundred years.
Chen Yuzheng obeyed her and changed his words: "I am your boyfriend who you finally caught up with. Many girls confessed their love to me before, but I ignored them. So, you have to cherish this hard-earned love, understand?"
Yu Nuo was completely unaware that he was being brainwashed, and he promised him obediently: "I will."
Chen Yuzheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Isn't it just that my brother-in-law dislikes me?" He sighed sadly, "I have let it go a long time ago."
Yu Nuo: “… .”
"As long as my sister can be nicer to me..." Chen Yuzheng returned to his carefree attitude and dragged out his voice, "This little grievance will pass if I endure it."
A week later, the teams released their summer season makeup photos on Weibo one after another, which happened to hit the hot search topic: #What do boys who like to play games look like in real life#
The marketing account listed the photos of Chen Yuzheng, Yu Ge, and Zhou Dang:
Three men who unified the aesthetics of LPL
Fu Yidong took a few days off and came to play with Yu Nuo.
The two sat in the dessert shop, each playing with their phones. Fu Yidong browsed Weibo for a while and clicked on the fan group of the TG fan club. Many fans were swiping the screen.
sos!!! Chen Yuzheng Oil King Warning
Where's the greasy part? I think it's pretty handsome...
I'm tired, I can!
His American military salute really embarrassed me, but the photos of several people in tg were not normal... .
By the way, do you know the tattoo on his hand? It's actually a girl's voice. Yes, yes, yes, yes, someone in the super topic has dug it out!!!
Fu Yidong has been busy with work recently and has been working overtime every day, so she missed the news about Chen Yuzheng's tattoo. She watched them discuss tattoos in the group for a while, and went to the super topic to read previous posts out of gossip.
After watching for a while, Fu Yidong seemed to have discovered a secret and shared it with Yu Nuo: "Hey, did you know that the tattoo on Chen Yuzheng's hand has the voice of a little girl!"
Yu Nuo was drinking sago. Hearing this, he paused, put down the spoon in his hand, and answered her: "I know."
Fu Yidong: "You know?"
"Well... he told me about it."
"Whose voice is that?" Fu Yidong felt a little strange. "Is it his mother or sister or something?"
Yu Nuo hesitated for a moment and said, "It's me."
"you??!!"
Fu Yidong froze. After a few seconds of silence, she asked, "You said that? When did you say that?"
Yu Nuo recalled, "That was during the Intercontinental Championship."
“… … .”
Fu Yidong went to the official tg blog again, found Chen Yuzheng's makeup photo, enlarged it, and looked at the tattoo over and over again.
After listening to Yu Nuo's details, Fu Yidong was shocked. He said "Fuck" three times and muttered absentmindedly, "So, you just gave him a word of encouragement, and then he got it tattooed on his body when he returned to China?"
Yu Nuo: “… .”
"Chen Yuzheng is such a huge contrast. At first I thought he was just that kind of arrogant guy, a little bad and a scumbag, who wouldn't pay too much attention to girls even when he was in a relationship. Woohoo, who would have thought that he would actually tattoo your voice on his body! It's your voice, not your name!!!"
Even a veteran driver like Fu Yidong was teased with blood all over his face, "This little bastard brother, how can he be so capable!"
...
...
In the following time, Fu Yidong had no mood to go shopping. On the way, he pestered Yu Nuo and asked her to tell him all the details of her relationship with Chen Yuzheng.
Yu Nuo was a little helpless, and thought for a while, "... Just like a normal couple, having a meal, watching a movie or something."
Fu Yidong hinted to her: "You can skip all of this. I want to hear something more private."
Yu Nuo was puzzled: "What do you mean by private?"
Fu Yidong took Yu Nuo's arm and moved closer, saying mysteriously, "Did you go to bed? You know what a brother of your age is like. Whoever tries will know."
Yu Nuo: “… … … ”
After observing her expression, Fu Yidong was afraid that she would be angry, so he quickly said, "Of course, you don't have to say it if you don't want to. I respect your privacy. I just want to care about my best friend."
The sun was blazing outside, and Yu Nuo was sweating all over. She stopped where she was, and stammered anxiously, "You think too much. We just, just, just a few days ago, and we held hands."
Fu Yidong got the point and seemed a little unbelievable: "Just signing a hand? They didn't even kiss?"
Yu Nuo nodded.
"... ..."
Fu Yidong paused and sighed softly: "Chen Yuzheng, is he not capable?"
Yu Nuo: “… … ..”
In a blink of an eye, it is the end of June. The regular season of LPL this time is a ten-week cycle. The sixteen teams are divided into two divisions, the Eastern Division and the Western Division. The double round-robin system is adopted within the group. Before the end of the regular season, the teams in the Eastern and Western divisions will not play against each other. According to the final ranking of the spring season, the flags of TG and OG are ranked first on the left and right respectively.
The remaining teams will be divided into groups and OG and TG will need to send representatives to draw lots.
After more than half a year of settling down, TG has been in the spotlight since its debut, with constant controversy along the way. As the strongest dark horse of the year, although they lost to OG in the spring season, their performance in the intercontinental competition was beyond everyone's expectations. In a short period of time, TG became the focus of everyone's attention and successfully attracted a lot of fans.
Although the number of fans cannot compete with traditional giants, the popularity is already considerable.
It was a sultry afternoon, and even the wind was hot. In the distance, TG's platinum bus drove into the back of the venue. A large group of fans who had been waiting here early immediately burst into screams.
Ultraman was sitting in the car when he heard the noise. He quietly lifted the curtain and took a look. He was a little stunned. He thought that the last time he met someone at the airport was the peak of his life, but he didn't expect that there would be more people coming this time.
Van turned around and asked Killer: "Damn, aren't these people all water soldiers hired by the male sister? Is it necessary to make such a big fuss about drawing lots today?"
"Tsk, can you stop being so petty? Stand up straight. We have fans now."
Killer looked at him with disdain, straightened his clothes, and fiddled with his hair: "How about it, am I handsome? When we go on stage to draw lots, will we be able to charm millions of female fans?"
Ultraman: “… … ..”
The bus stopped and the security guards were already waiting at the door. Qi Yanan called out to them from the front: "Let's go, get off the bus."
Chen Yuzheng was lying in the last row with his baseball cap still covering his face. He was patted twice before he opened his eyes sleepily.
The team uniform on his body was wrinkled from sleeping. Chen Yuzheng sat up, calmed himself down, took out a candy from his pocket with an expressionless face, unwrapped it and put it into his mouth.
...
...
As soon as the five people from tg got off the car, the screams in the crowd suddenly rose to a higher pitch.
Ultraman followed closely behind Chen Yuzheng.
The security guards held hands and surrounded them, struggling to maintain order in the crowd, and shouted to the enthusiastic fans: "Be careful, don't come over here!"
But no one listened.
"Chen Yuzheng, take off your mask and hat!!! Mommy wants to see you!!!"
"er!!! Aa ...
Even as they walked into the backstage passage, the voices of the fans behind them were still extremely enthusiastic.
Ultraman bumped into him and whispered, "Why are you so calm?"
Chen Yuzheng lowered his head, sending a message, and replied absentmindedly: "I haven't woken up yet."
"Pretending again?" Ultraman approached, "Who are you messaging?"
Chen Yuzheng continued to send messages, and he didn't stop him, just let him read it indifferently.
Moving his eyes to the screen of his mobile phone, Ultraman choked.
Er: Sister, I have so many fans
Yu Nuo: Hmm? Isn't it great that so many people like you^^
er: I was scared. What should I do? They seemed to be rushing over and eating me.
Yu Nuo: ... ... .
Looking at these messages, Ultraman's expression was blank for a few seconds. He felt embarrassed for others again and couldn't help but say, "What the hell are you posting? Aren't you embarrassed yourself?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Chen Yuzheng sneered, as if he had no shame at all. "Don't pry into my and my girlfriend's private life."
The draw process only took half an hour. After the East and West teams were divided into groups, the opening game was also decided. The first game on Saturday was between tg and kkl.
Back in the backstage lounge, the coach and team leader spoke to them for a few more words.
"All of you should concentrate. Let's go out for a good meal tonight, and we will resume training tomorrow. You don't need to start the live broadcast. During this time, just focus on preparing for the game. You will play the opening game this time, so please pay attention and don't relax just because you won the Intercontinental Championship."
Ultraman muttered quietly: "Why does the coach sound like he is leaving his last words..."
The gathering took place at a hot pot restaurant near the venue.
Yu Nuo took a nap, and when she woke up and received a message from Chen Yuzheng, it was already five or six in the afternoon. She packed up and rushed over. When she arrived, the food was already served.
She found a random seat and sat down, apologetically saying, "Sorry, I'm late."
She took a breath and looked around with her peripheral vision.
Xiang Jiajia seemed to know what she was thinking and said casually, "Chen Yuzheng and Ultraman went to the bathroom."
Just as I put the dishes away, the door at the back opened.
Chen Yuzheng walked in, their eyes met, and Yu Nuo smiled at him.
Ultraman shook the water off his hands, went inside, and found an empty seat to sit down.
Chen Yuzheng raised his eyebrows and stopped next to the van.
Van was picking up some vegetables with his butt sticking out, and Killer bumped his arm, "What are you doing?"
Killer signaled him with his eyes and asked him to look behind.
Van had drunk quite a bit of wine, and said with a big mouth: "Chen Yuzheng? What are you doing standing here for me, acting as a door god?"
Chen Yuzheng shook his head: "Go sit over there."
Van looked at Yu Nuo again and understood instantly. He stood up obediently without saying a word.
Chen Yuzheng didn't even bother to hide it, he was very frank, after Van gave up his seat, he sat down next to Yu Nuo.
This open and aboveboard act caused another round of applause at the table. Everyone in the room was laughing, with their teasing eyes focused on the two of them.
Yu Nuo lowered his head and pretended nothing happened.
During the meal, the topic of conversation revolved around the love affair between Chen Yuzheng and Yu Nuo.
Ultraman was curious: "When did you start?"
Chen Yuzheng was too lazy to say more: "Stop gossiping and take care of yourself."
Ultraman: “… .”
He said bitterly: "Only a girl with a good temper like Yu Nuo can tolerate your mean mouth."
Killer poured him a glass of white wine: "You're already single, it would be a shame if you don't drink something, right?"
Chen Yuzheng raised his hand, pushed away the wine in front of him, and refused: "Sorry, I don't drink today, you guys can do whatever you want."
His uncooperative attitude made several people unhappy, so they could only turn around and "bully" Yu Nuo, who was more easy to talk to.
At first Chen Yuzheng tried to stop them, but was later scolded by the killer, "You don't want to drink but you don't allow others to drink? This is meaningless."
"It's okay. I won't get drunk if I drink a little."
Yu Nuo was in high spirits and willing to be forced to drink by her teammates. As long as someone handed her a glass of wine, she would drink it obediently.
However, the killers were too embarrassed to embarrass a girl, so they just toasted her with a few beers and left it at that.
...
...
The meal took two to three hours. There was a competition in a few days, so we couldn't be too unrestrained.
Chen Yuzheng held Yu Nuo's hand and said, "Come back to the base with me. I'll drive you back later."
She also wanted to stay with him for a while longer, so she nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll go back with you, and you can just take a taxi later."
"I send you."
"Um?"
Chen Yuzheng looked at her with a half-smile: "Why do you think I don't drink?"
Yu Nuo: “… ... ... ”
After getting in the car, Yu Nuo looked at Chen Yuzheng lazily lying on the chair and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Drunk."
"Drunk?" Yu Nuo thought for a moment, "But didn't you just drink some yogurt?"
He narrowed his eyes, hummed, and said shamelessly: "I'm drunk."
Yu Nuo: “… .”
She laughed.
Everyone was satisfied with their meal and drink, and after chatting for a while, the car returned to silence.
Chen Yuzheng sat up a little, let his right hand hang by his side, turned his head, and spoke to her in a disjointed manner.
Yu Nuo had been drunk a little too much just now. Although he was not drunk, he was distracted at every turn and could not help but glance down frequently.
After watching it for a long time, even Chen Yuzheng noticed it and moved his eyes down to look at his arm: "What's wrong?"
Now, Yu Nuo didn't need to hide it. She was really curious and asked hesitantly, "Can I touch your tattoo?"
Chen Yuzheng was silent for a moment, "Whatever you want."
After getting the nod, she stretched out her hand, but was not very brave and just tried it gently.
Chen Yuzheng said nothing.
Seeing that he didn't react, Yu Nuo became a little bolder. He gently touched the outline of the tattoo with his fingers, and slowly moved down along the forearm.
Chen Yuzheng stared at her for a while. He felt a little itchy when being touched, so he curled his fingers and held back, not stopping her movements.
She looked soft, half lowered her head, and asked in a low voice: "Did it hurt when you got this tattoo?"
"It hurts." Chen Yuzheng smiled and said slowly, "It almost made me cry."
Yu Nuo knew he was joking, but still felt a little sad.
As night fell, the bus lights were turned off, leaving only the neon lights from the street to shine in.
Yu Nuo leaned his head forward slightly, as if wanting to take a closer look at the pattern on his arm.
Stop a few centimeters away.
Her breathing slowed.
She felt a little bit like backing off, but she didn't know if it was because of the alcohol, her behavior was not controlled by her brain.
Before he realized it, Yu Nuo's lips had already touched the tattoo, placing a gentle kiss on his skin.
She treated him like a precious treasure, she had no evil thoughts, it was just an action she couldn't help.
Chen Yuzheng had never expected her to do this and was stunned.
After I reacted, almost instantly, the blood in my body started to flow backwards, and a fire burned from my throat all the way down.
It was a very short time, and after the kiss, Yu Nuo’s brain was dazed for a few seconds.
Feeling a little embarrassed, her chest heaved, she blinked, stood up, and looked at him pretending to be calm, but was too embarrassed to look away.
Chen Yuzheng's eyes were dark as he looked at her silently, with some emotions hidden in them that she couldn't understand.
Yu Nuo's face flushed red, and she didn't dare to look him in the eye again. She turned her head away and looked out the window.
Along the way, I was doing psychological preparation.
After that sudden kiss, they both fell silent.
When we arrived at the base, the bus stopped and turned off the engine. Everyone in the back stood up and got off the bus one after another.
Yu Nuo sat inside, and after everyone else got off the car, she saw that Chen Yuzheng was still not moving.
After waiting for a while in silence, she suppressed her shyness and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"
He looked too lazy to move, and lowered his eyes: "I can't get up, wait a while."
Yu Nuo couldn't help but be stunned: "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Yuzheng's eyes were moist, and he hooked his finger, motioning her to come closer.
Yu Nuo hesitantly moved forward and bent down.
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Sister just kissed me and I reacted."
