ZGDX, smiling: Our captain went for a blind date today. I heard she has a Master's in finance from abroad, 172 cm tall, and wears high heels. Her family is a business partner with the captain's family.


Ah Mao's mom: You can get a Master's degree from abroad if you go finish studying there.


ZGDX, smiling: But I can only grow to be 172 cm if I get a bone extension or heaven bestows on me a Harry Potter who knows a spell that will make me grow taller.

Ah Mao's mom: You have a better chance by praying that Cheng Ge has a peculiar preference for shorties.

ZGDX, smiling: Why do I want to pray that he likes shorties?


Ah Mao's mom: Then why do you care about the height of his blind date?

ZGDX, smiling: Do I? I'm just sharing some gossip with you. You're the one who started comparing her with me. But, why are there so many girls like you who are tall, good looking, and with good family backgrounds and brains!!!



Ah Mao's mom: You can play games, specifically the heroin of esports. You're great yourself!

ZGDX, smiling: Get lost.


Ah Mao's mom: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Tong Yao sat in her own room, rolling her eyes. She put down her cell phone and absentmindedly flipped through her notebook, now filled with data on each Huawei player. After flipping a few pages, she discovered that none of the words had registered in her head and she was growing more and more irritated. She simply shut the notebook with a clap, turned the lights off, and got in bed.

Dabing who was already inside the cover half asleep, unhappily meowed, and kicked Tong Yao with its leg.

"You kicked me. This is my bed. If you aren't happy, go sleep in your own bed."

Tong Yao harshly lectured the cat while lifting the cover over her own head. She couldn't tell what or who exactly she was angry at. When she closed her eyes, the sneer from Lu Sicheng, "all you know about is stuffing your face," popped into her head. She puffed up her cheeks under the cover: What do you mean all I know is about eating!
While Lu Sicheng had gone on a blind date, she had been diligently watching all the competition videos back at base. Why hadn't she heard a single compliment from him? Hmph!

Tong Yao's irritation grew further.

She almost picked up the cell phone to yell at him. But somehow felt that she didn't seem to have a valid reason to yell at him. In the end, her inherent fear of her captain won over her anger.

She finally......fell asleep.

......

The next day was the day of the competition.

Tong Yao and her teammates arrived at the site at 3:30 in the afternoon. They waited in the rest area for the match to begin.

At 4:30 PM, they could hear noise from the audience, the hosts had also arrived.

At 4:40 PM, the LCD TV screen at the rest area began playing. This screen was broadcasting the same video as the larger screen outside in the arena. Usually, when players were backstage, they could still watch the match on the stage from this screen. At the moment, the screen was showing the top 10 best plays from last week's games. Tong Yao sat on the chair cross legged, eating fruit and counting. Lu Sicheng had two scenes and she had one. One of Lu Sicheng's clips was a one on one at bot and the other was a one versus two. Tong Yao's was when she cleaned up a messy situation during one team fight.

At 4:45 PM, Tong Yao put down the fruit container and was thinking it was about time to go out. Suddenly, she heard from the TV behind her a loud announcement with the host dragging his words.
