You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 26 Part 2

Lu Sicheng, resting his chin on one hand, was deep in thought with his eyes cast

down. Xiao Rui, meanwhile, was still mumbling behind him-- --

“Anyway, I still can’t understand why Ah Tai’s strategy of ‘using your specialized

champion to defeat you’ works so well with all you professional players? …...It worked

on Niu G.o.d before, and the same to Tong Yao today.  Wouldn’t it make more sense that

it would be even more upsetting if someone defeated you while you were using your

specialized champion?”

“Is it that difficult to understand?”

Lu Sicheng played around with the mouse-- --

“It’s because when you play a champion well, it means that you not only know about

the champion’s abilities and capabilities well, it also includes your understanding of

the whole game. Therefore, once you’re defeated……”

“What happens then?”

“Let me put it this way, suppose you’re always good at English growing up, superior

than all the people around you, even the English teachers. You’re always in all the

school activities and speech contests, even becoming a legend in English studies in

the whole city-- --Until one day, you’re invited to attend a national English summer

camp and discovered that everyone in the camp is at least as good as you. There are

occasions that you can’t even understand what some of them are saying. Just as you

are feeling overwhelmed, they turn around to laugh at you: How did you even qualify to

be in this summer camp?”

“......”

“What are you going to do?”

“......”

“By contrast, if it’s a group of people speaking different languages attending a gathering

and there’s one person who speaks German well who can communicate with others much

better than you, how would you feel? You probably would just think: This person speaks

great German and it’s none of my business. It’s just because English isn’t as popular as

German here.”

“Uhm, if you put it that way……”

“Therefore, Leblanc to that shorty is probably - --”

Before he could finish, Xiao Rui’s cell phone began to ring. Lu Sicheng gestured that he

could go and answer his phone. Xiao Rui answered the phone and walked away-- --

After 5 minutes, he came back.

The team manager kicked the team captain’s chair. “Are you free?”

Lu Sicheng replied with a poker face, “I’m very busy. I have to fight 300 rounds with all

those r.e.t.a.r.ds on Tieba……”

Xiao Rui: “Why did you change your id?”

Lu Sicheng: “Last one got banned.”

Xiao Rui: “......What did you post to get banned. Ahh, nevermind, comrade captain, I

just received a phone call. It was from the Mid of the team next door to inform us that

our team’s Mid is dead drunk and it’s impossible for him and his girlfriend to get her

back-- --They can’t even drag her away from the bar-- --They need someone to help

them now……”

“What does it mean by dead drunk?”

“She’s drunk. Your Chinese is terrible!”

“Are they at a bar?”

“Yes.”

“Does that bar not want to do business anymore?” Lu Sicheng got up to pick up his

jacket. “They even sold liquor to an underaged person.”

Xiao Rui shrugged and quickly told him the name of the bar. It was close to their base.

It was a decent place where many esports clubs nearby would go there for gatherings

or celebration parties. It was within walking distance from the ZGDX and YQCB bases-- --

Lu Sicheng didn’t drive but walked over there.

…...Actually, the main reason was because he was afraid that she would throw up in

his car. Since it was impossible to reason with a drunk or throw her into the Huangpu

River-- --Lu Sicheng figured that he didn’t want to have this kind of ha.s.sle drive him

crazy.

……

While Lu Sicheng was on his way to the bar, ZGDX’s Mid was happily sitting inside

the bar without knowing that the king of h.e.l.l of their team was on his way over. She

was holding a gla.s.s with amber colored liquid inside in one hand and playing her cell

phone on the other hand-- --

The light from the cell phone screen reflected on her red face. She slightly squinted,

looking at those sneering postings on the Tieba while sipping the drink in her hand……

When the amber liquid was gone once more, she put the gla.s.s down with the other 5

identically shaped gla.s.ses in front of her and raised her hand with her neck stretched

out, “Bartender, give me another iced tea!”

“What iced tea! It’s Long Island Iced Tea, you country b.u.mpkin!” The girl, who was tall

and pretty, sitting next to her nervously pushed Tong Yao’s raised arm down while trying

to cover Tong Yao’s mouth at the same time. “I’ll go to the supermarket to buy iced tea

if you want to drink it. I’ll buy a whole case! If one case isn’t enough, I’ll buy two. Just

keep your mouth shut!”

“I won’t”

“You’re drunk.”

“I’m not drunk. How can iced tea make me drunk.” Tong Yao giggled and turned to hold

her girlfriend’s face with both her hands. She burped, her breath heavy with alcohol.

“Iced tea makes me feel blessed, iced tea makes me happy.”
