Since they were in the middle of a match earlier, there wasn't any room to think about other things. Only now did Xiao Bai realize—Jian Rong was using his ge's thermos this entire time during the competition?!

Actually, it was quite common for those of the same gender to share drinks. Xiao Bai couldn't really care less about that, as he himself frequently helped Pine finish off his milk tea, coffee, milk, and so on and so forth.

But his ge was different.

Back when they were still little stars scattered throughout a certain area of Shanghai's rented apartments, which were even worse off than a school dorm, they all used the same stainless steel cups. One time, Kan accidentally drank from Lu Boyuan's cup. Though his ge hadn't said anything, he hadn't touched that cup again.

To call it mysophobia was a bit excessive. He just simply wasn't fond of his personal belongings being used by other people.

Upon discovering that the person next to him had gone mute, Lu Boyuan asked, "Not going to continue?"

Xiao Bai said, "...I'm done."

After they returned to the break room, Ding-ge greeted them each with a big hug.

"Incredible." Ding-ge raised the phone in his hand. "I won't say anything else, I've already made a reservation at a restaurant. Although it isn't the finals yet, these are special circumstances, and everyone performed extremely well, so we have to celebrate that somehow... once the MVP interview is done, we'll head straight over. No need to practice this evening, have a good night's rest."

They were all too excited after winning the match, so the couch was completely empty. Instead, everyone stood and gathered around the doorway.

Lu Boyuan was worried that Jian Rong would be thirsty if he finished the coffee, so he handed the thermos back to him. "I didn't add much sugar, is it too bitter."

As Jian Rong took back the bottle, their fingers bumped against each other.

He said lowly, "It's not, it tastes good."

There were people surrounding them on all sides, giving them their congratulations and compliments.

After winning the semifinals, and then sharing an indirect kiss with Lu Boyuan in front of the camera, Jian Rong's heart was beating as fast as it had during the match.

Lu Boyuan was telling Moon about a few mistakes he had made while ganking the top lane in the third game.

When Lu Boyuan spoke, his Adam's apple would occasionally bob up and down. Jian Rong glanced at it a few times before he twisted open the thermos lid and finished the rest of the coffee in one gulp.

Soon, a staff member came to fetch this match's MVP for the solo interview.

In fact, they had all performed quite well during this semifinals match, and a brilliant outplay could be cut out for almost each member. Even Moon, who stepped up to the plate at the last minute, hadn't dragged the team down.

However, if they had to pick one person who played the best, even a random Bronze player would be able to definitively give the correct answer.

Two minutes later, Jian Rong appeared on the interview set.

The host couldn't help but shoot a few looks downward when he realized that Jian Rong had arrived while grasping something in his hands.

Jian Rong: "..."

He forgot to put down the thermos beforehand.

Fortunately, the host remained professional, and he wasn't as gossipy as the previous troublemaker host. As was the standard, he asked several questions concerning the match.
