I'm a platinum-level author, so what if I play professionally?

Rita was still fixing her makeup when she heard the door open and turned to look at the doorway.

"Teachers, Coach White is here."

The staff led Wang Ke in from outside.

Rita curiously glanced at Wang Ke and found that he was just curiously looking around at his surroundings, with little expression on his face. Compared to the other players or coaches she had met, he was more composed, even a little too quiet.

This wasn't the first time Rita had met Wang Ke.

Previously, when she was watching the game from the audience, the director would occasionally cut the camera to the team's backstage lounge when the team made a highlight play.

She noticed Wang Ke at that time.

Compared to Zhu Kai, who excitedly shouted in front of the camera, Wang Ke always sat there quietly, without much facial expression. Even when the team gained a huge advantage and achieved a 0-for-5 team fight, he didn't show much emotion. He always had a notebook in his hand, scribbling something on it.

Rita felt that this person shouldn't be in the superficial e-sports circle, but rather like an artist.

Rita clearly doesn't know Wang Ke very well.

Song Wen, who knows Wang Ke very well, has a special term to explain Wang Ke's "outward attitude"—"reservedly passionate."

Rita stood up, walked to Wang Ke, and extended her hand with a smile.

"Hello Coach White, I'm Rita, and I'll be interviewing you today."

Wang Ke stared at Sister Tazi, somewhat dazed.

He never expected that the person interviewing him would be Sister Ta.

Wang Ke had previously written many novels about the League of Legends, but the protagonists in his works never had romantic storylines, nor did he write about female commentators.

Because even though he's 23, he's still a naive young chef and simply can't write a romance storyline.

Of course, the most important reason is that Wang Ke felt that if you're going to play professionally, you should play professionally properly. What kind of thing is it if you have to get an abortion while playing professionally?

The great road should not be so narrow!

But Sister Ta is indeed not small.

As Wang Ke calmly completed his first-ever handshake with a woman, Song Wen had already walked to the edge of the stage.

When Xiaoyu saw Song Wen, she quickly went up to greet him.

This rookie mid-laner turned himself into a "superstar" in just one game.

In all her life, Xiao Yu had never seen such an arrogant person. This made her feel a little intimidated by Song Wen.

"Hello, Black, I'm your host, Xiaoyu."

Song Wen nodded with a forced smile, then, as if he were just going through the motions, the smile lasted only a second before his expression vanished.

His change of expression was so rapid that Xiaoyu's outstretched hand froze in place.

Wang Ke has never written a romantic subplot in his novels.

Song Wen is a heartless killer.

What female commentators and anchors? Women will only slow down his path to victory.

So even though Xiaoyu was wearing exquisite makeup and looked pitiful standing to the side, in Song Wen's eyes, she was just a host with a different physical structure from his own.

"Just as I imagined, confident and arrogant..."

Song Wen, as described by Wang Ke, was somewhat handsome. The way he stood there gazing at the stage, even his arrogance, took on a special flavor in Xiao Yu's eyes.

"Um, Black, here are some questions I'll be asking later. Would you like to familiarize yourself with them first?"

Looking at the notebook Xiaoyu handed him, Song Wen shook his head.

"No need, just ask me anything."

If Wang Ke were standing nearby at that moment, he would definitely spit on Song Wen and call him a "pretentious king".

Seeing Song Wen's calm reply, Xiao Yu nodded, but felt somewhat at a loss.

She was originally a host for the second division league, and this is her first time taking over the hosting duties for the LPL league, but today's match seems to have gone a bit too far.

Now, she is responsible for interviewing Song Wen, the instigator of all the trouble.

Originally, there wasn't a pre-match Q&A session for the post-match interview. However, the director was worried that the player, who was known for his provocative remarks in the game's public chat, might make some shocking statements after the match. So, he had Xiaoyu go over the Q&A with Song Wen beforehand to avoid any bigger controversy.

As soon as Xiaoyu sent her request, Song Wen rejected it without hesitation.

Song Wen caught a glimpse of Xiao Yu, whose mouth was moving constantly due to unease, out of the corner of his eye, and almost laughed.

Are you nervous?

He's not nervous at all, so why are you, the host, nervous?

Song Wen was somewhat disgusted; this woman was really useless, and he didn't want her to affect his performance.

Upon hearing Song Wen's words, Xiao Yu paused, her face flushing slightly.

He knew that esports players had keen observation skills, but players who would proactively care about others like this were very rare.

Seeing that Xiaoyu's face had visibly turned red, even her makeup couldn't quite cover it, especially her ears which were a deep, bright red, Song Wen couldn't help but ask again:

"Why are you so red? Are you running a fever?"

Hearing Song Wen's renewed concern for her, Xiao Yu quickly shook her head.

"No, no, it's just a little hot."

"Oh," Song Wen nodded, "drink more ice water."

"Shouldn't we drink more hot water?"

Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask.

As soon as Xiaoyu asked the question, she saw the look in Song Wen's eyes that seemed to regard her as an idiot, and immediately realized how stupid her words had been.

"He told me to drink more ice water instead of more hot water, which shows that he genuinely considered my specific situation and wasn't just saying it to appease me. He truly cares about me... Perhaps contrary to his appearance, he's a warm-hearted man at heart..."

While Xiaoyu was still lost in her own thoughts, the director called the two of them to come on stage for an interview, and Song Wen would soon tell Xiaoyu whether he was a warm-hearted man or not.

In the interview room, Wang Ke was carefully reviewing the questions Rita had given him.

Unlike Song Wen's live stream, theirs is pre-recorded, so they're not in a rush and can do more preparation so they can give more thorough answers when they're interviewed.

Wang Ke carefully read each question, while simultaneously devising answers in his mind. Just as he was lost in thought, he felt a fragrant breeze waft over, and Rita sat down next to him.

"Coach White, the live interviews over there have started. Should we watch Black's interview first before starting ours?"

Wang Ke nodded upon hearing Rita's words.

This is essentially to have him and Song Wen compare their statements to avoid them giving completely different answers to the same questions.

"Hello everyone watching the live stream! Welcome to the post-match interview! I'm your host, Xiaoyu!"

"First of all, congratulations to Team Snake for winning today's match! After the match, we have invited Snake's mid-laner, Black, for an interview! Black, please say hello to everyone!"

Wang Ke's heart skipped a beat when he saw Song Wen appear on camera with a humble and gentle smile.

In "League of Legends: The Super Demon King," Wang Ke once described Song Wen as follows—

Whenever this man's face displays an uncharacteristically humble and gentle smile, it means he's been secretly plotting something malicious.

Fans call it—

A smile in the darkness, and life and death are unpredictable.
