She kept herself in the room, not wanting to interact with anyone. Messages kept flowing in. Her room was dark, away from light. Constant knockings on the door till it faded away, telling her that they are slowly giving up hope already.
A gentle knock came with a voice following it. "Lu Xia? I know you are in there alive and kicking. It's match day. You should come even if you are just a substitute for this round," Jiao Huang said as he positioned his head closer to the door.
No response came back. He sighed, turning his head, seeing Ze Liang with the keys to Lu Xia's room. Ze Liang gave him a light smile before opening Lu Xia's door, walking in, closing.
"Lu Xia, c'mon. Everyone is waiting for you. I made a request to the manager. He is letting you start the game. If you don't get up, he is getting you off the team. Please get up," Ze Liang softly said as he stared a Lu Xia's soulless facial expression.
Ze Liang let out a sigh before pulling Lu Xia up from her bed, making her sit down while her hair was nearly covering her face. "You don't need to show your face to the public. We'll cover you up, they won't know," Ze Liang said, applying some ointment for her bruise.
He removed her long fringe that was covering her face before placing a soft kiss on her forehead. "Your clothes are at the other side of your bed, go get change. We'll wait for you, it's still early." He left.
She was alone in her dark room, only the natural sunlight shone past the window. Standing up and picking her clothes, she walked into her bathroom, looking at herself at the mirror. She looked weak, pale, skinny. She didn't like it. She was too busy noticing that till she didn't notice a small, tiny tear drop falling down her cheeks.
Turning on the tap, she heard the water run. Consider it as a wakeup call.
Walking down the stairs, her mask on her face while her hair was covering her face. She looked at the others, giving her a smile while the manager waited impatiently.
"Lu Xia, you look like a ghost. I can't recognise you like that," Ai Jia said as he tried to removing the fringe. Lu Xia slapped his hand, warning him not to touch her hair. He let out a yelp, looking at his hand where the bright red mark was there. Rong Rong pulled Ai Jia's hair, yanking him back behind him.
En Shuo quickly pulled Lu Xia, bringing her out of the villa, trying to minimise the interaction between her and the manager. Jiao Huang sat next to her in the bus, occasionally looking at her back and forth to make sure she was fine. She was sleeping, her head against the glass window.
Letting out a small chuckle, he gently placed her head on his shoulder, supporting her head, instead of letting her head hit the window constantly. Removing his jacket, he placed it on her lap, shielding her from the cold.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep, his head above hers. "Rong Rong, look at this," En Shuo whispered as he crawled up from his seat, looking at the two that was behind them. A soft click was heard as Rong Rong took a photo of the two.
"The two of you, stop bothering the two of them," Liang Sheng said as he saw what the two troublemakers were doing. En Shuo shook his head, "Liang Sheng, this is a rare sight. You don't see this every day."
Ze Liang look at them before diverting his attention back to his phone. A sense of jealousy filled up in him. Losing his concentration, he looked back at the two, his fist silently clenching without him knowing.
Ai Jia smack his hand, making Ze Liang's attention back to where he was supposed to be. "Keep that liking to yourself. You know that the manager will kill if he notices," Ai Jia warned, talking while his eyes were closed.
Lu Xia woke up by the sound of shoutings, telling everyone that they were reaching the venue. Feeling a figure that was letting her head rest, she got up before realising she was sleeping with Jiao Huang the entire time. Her eyes widen before looking out at the window when she saw that Jiao Huang was going to wake up any time soon.
"Are we reaching yet?"
She didn't know why but she felt her cheeks turning red, the atmosphere slowly turning hotter and hotter. "Y-yeah." That was all she could manage to say. Even with the mask covering her face, he could still hear her soft voice. Nodding his head, he looked at his phone.
Lu Xia looked down, realising that Jiao Huang's jacket was on her lap. Picking it up and placing on his lap, she quickly look away. Jiao Huang found it strange before shaking the thought away.
Fans shouting, crowding around the entrance, indicating that they were excited to see them. Her airpods on in max mode. Ze Liang lightly held her wrist, squeezing it to comfort her before pulling her in to the entrance, away from the crowd.
"The match shouldn't be hard. They are easy to beat. Fnatic is a group where their defence is very good but attacking is very ass," Ze Liang said, "Ai Jia stand by, the moment Lu Xia doesn't want to play for the next match, you have to play it instead."
Ai Jia nodded, wrapping his arm around Lu Xia's shoulder. "I'll carry the group. Basically it's youngest versus the middle oldest," Ai Jia said, "It's ok, don't need to be disappointed, don't be depressed." Lu Xia flipped him off, before slapping his face with a pillow. 8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjB6sfoszQ
"Pretty princess, are you going to start the match," Rong Rong asked as he looked at the girl who was still abusing Ai Jia. She nodded her head before turning her attention back to Ai Jia's stupidity.
Soon the lights were turn on. The dark scene stayed in front of her while the commentors were introducing them. Her fist was clenched as she tried to stay calm, not trying to be bothered about what was happening in front of her. "Lu Xia, pick Tamamo-no-Mae, they are not going to ban her."
Lu Xia nodded her head, adjusting the headphone. "Isn't it uncomfortable to wear it like that," Jiao Huang questioned as he looked to his right. Lu Xia shook her head, logging in to the game.
The game began when Lu Xia started to kill the creeps, occasionally appearing at the jungle area to help En Shuo because the opponent decided to get their Top laner and Jungler to go against him.
"Lu Xia, there is a massive number of creeps crowding your tiny army," Liang Sheng reported.
"En Shuo needs help first... I'll secure the first kill. Hold on," Lu Xia said as she quickly used her second skill, followed by the first, supported with En Shuo's skill, killing off their jungler. First kill. It was bolded on the TV board.
"Looks like YQCB's mid laner is working hard today. For the record everyone, YQCB's Rainy has secured top 5 most first kills throughout her career, winning over nearly a lot of males in the industry," One of the commenter said.
"She is talented. Imagine if we were to put Smiling with Rainy, it would be a bomb. Smiling also holds the record of the best player in Tamamo-no-Mae. It is no surprise if both use it together, chaos would happen."
Lu Xia choked on her saliva when she heard that.
"Guys, did anyone choked on something?" En Shuo questioned as he looked at Lu Xia.
"Do we need to conduct health procedures right now?" Rong Rong continued.
"Shut the hell up the both of you. They started comparing me and my brother's future wife which is going to be my sister in law," Lu Xia said.
"Careful what you speak Lu Xia, don't have this recording be the top funny videos during the next match later," Liang Sheng warned.
"I see no lies in what she just said though," Jiao Huang said, being the quiet one the entire time, "Focus, Lord is coming, we will secure it when most of us are at level 10 at least."
"Mid crisis. Targeting me right now," Lu Xia screamed.
"Coming."
"Oh nevermind, stay back where you are. I used my ultimate on them," Lu Xia said as she looked at her screen where it wrote triple kills.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvBQKiiCYY
"Woman, warned us next time when you are able to deal with it. I had to abandon Liang Sheng because of it," Jiao Huang replied.
"Not my problem. My mouth doesn't work when I am killing, I might give false information sometimes," Lu Xia said.
Winning was what they had been doing the past few weeks. Bowing down to the crowd after their second round of gaming.
