You're Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 70 Part 2

During the duration of her father's phone call, the only words Tong Yao said were “en,” “ah,” “oh,” “I know,” or “I was wrong.” The only long sentence she had said was immediately retorted by her father. She had no choice but to remain silent for the remainder of the phone call. Before hanging up, her father asked her a question which finally proved to her that her parents hadn't found her at some trash dump: “Did you get hurt?”

The concern in those words suddenly moved Tong Yao to tears. After she told him that she was fine, her father added one more warning before hanging up: “Don't cause any more trouble.” Lu Sicheng and her other teammates walked into the rest area right afterwards. Tong Yao took a glance at her stone faced captain and suddenly had a revelation— —

It seems that all men in the world knew how to play the “carrot after stick” trick.

Lu Sicheng found his own coffee mug, sipped some coffee, and turned around to see the team's mid staring at him with her black and white eyes. He paused and asked: “What are you looking at?”

Tong Yao numbly turned her eyes away.

Lu Sicheng asked Xiao Rui: “What's wrong with her?”

Xiao Rui: “You guys played the match for 40 minutes and she was lectured by her father for 40 minutes.”

Lu Sicheng raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Rui added: “Her biological dad.”

Lu Sicheng's eyebrows flattened.

……

Lu Yue was doing an interview outside because he had earned MVP for the second match. Tong Yao walked out of the rest area to stand in the pa.s.sageway to listen. She heard the host ask Lu Yue how he was feeling coming back onto the stage— —

“Pretty good.” She could hear the smile in Lu Yue's voice. “That's why I play a new champion that I've been training with.”

“That's right. It was a real surprise today when you suddenly took out Twisted Fate who doesn't really match your usual style. So it was something you've prepared for a while now?”

“En. Not really. It's just that our data a.n.a.lyst— —” Shouts and screams came from the audience; some were shouting Ming G.o.d's name. Lu Yue laughed then continued: “Our data a.n.a.lyst told me that a Chinese mid has to know how to use this champion, otherwise I'd lose face. So I practiced him.”

“So that means Smiling can play Twisted Fate as well?”

“Yeah, she plays Twisted Fate well. Actually, I always feel that she seems to play everyone well. In the beginning, she wasn't good with Azir, but she got a handle with him a bit later.”

“Oh, it looks like there's not much tension between player and subst.i.tute on our ZGDX team— —”

“There's no tension at all. We have different styles…...Maybe today some people will think that, after seeing my performance, I shouldn't be just a subst.i.tute or something. But the fact is that for now she is more suitable than me to be the main player. Though I'll be stronger later on, that's for sure.”

“Looks like this is the reply Lu Yue would say in response to doubts being posted online.”

“I trust my teammates' ability to make the right decision. If there's anything I want, I'll fight for it on my own.”

Tong Yao concluded after hearing the interview that Lu Yue was truly protective of his brother. Then Tong Yao put on her jacket and went to gather their stuff to go to the parking lot— —There were many fans who had waited there right after the match was over and media reporters as well— —Usually there were only fans, but today even reporters were there too. The crowd looked rather large.

When those reporters saw Tong Yao, they excitedly ran over with their cameras. A swarm of camera lenses and microphones were stretched right under her nose— —

“What do think about the suspension this time?”

Tong Yao: “I deserved it.”

“Don't you feel that you're being treated unfairly? People said that you did it because you were protecting your teammates!”

Tong Yao: “I don't feel it's unfair.”

“Tell us, tell us.”

Tong Yao: “Tell you what?”

“Are you worried that you'll be replaced by Lu Yue?”

Tong Yao: “I'm only suspended for one match.”
