[Esports] Team Leader Xie, your mid laner is causing trouble again.

The next day, Liang Shoucheng, carrying several insider tickets, led a few kids to the stadium to watch the match between HY and ZZ.

He sat at the front of the van, pulled out a brand new notebook, intending to fill it up while watching the game, and muttered some earnest advice to himself:

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated, you know? Watch the match today, make sure you carefully observe ZZ's fighting style, and HY, pay close attention too. Winning once doesn't mean you can win every time..."

However, he was the only one who was working hard, while Song Bo, who was sitting next to him, had already started to fall asleep.

The five people behind them were also slacking off.

Jiang Xingle couldn't stay still as soon as she got in the car. Her eyes darted around, and she precisely caught Xie Jichuan's exposed arm. Her tone was incredibly gossipy:

"Wow, Captain, where did you get that bite mark on your arm?"

Li Zhihu's body trembled, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide to look over.

They discovered that Xie Jichuan was wearing his team uniform jacket perfectly fine, but the sleeve of the arm he had bitten was rolled up.

A ring of remaining teeth marks was visible, its curve full and its outline clear, hanging brightly on the Alpha's muscular forearm.

Jiang Xingle continued to be cheeky: "Looks like you have good teeth, the teeth marks are very even."

Xie Jichuan felt Li Zhi's gaze, but pretended not to see it, deliberately keeping her in suspense:

"Oh, this one was bitten."

Jiang Xingle: "...I can tell it was bitten, but the question is, who bit it?"

Ling Wang ate his sandwich while eavesdropping.

Knowing that Li Zhi had been paying attention, Xie Jichuan deliberately kept him in suspense, slowly saying, "Yes..."

He seemed to hear the sound of knuckles moving coming from the direction of Li Zhi, which was very intimidating.

Xie Jichuan chuckled softly and continued, "...it was gnawed by a little pig."

The sound of his joints cracking became louder, as if he could transform into a sumo wrestler at any moment.

Jiang Xingle heard it too, and with such a strong reaction, someone had inadvertently confessed.

He slyly leaned closer to Li Zhi and said, "Hey, Lychee's fingers can sing!"

After saying that, he received a punch from Li Zhi.

Jiang Xingle felt comfortable and settled down to eat her sandwich.

Cheng Yi had finished his portion, turned to look at Xie Jichuan's arm, and hesitated to speak.

Xie Jichuan looked up at him: "You have something to say?"

Cheng Yi thought about it seriously for a moment, then asked, "Captain, is the pig you're talking about Little Pink?"

Li Zhi: "…………"

No way, people actually believe such a clumsy excuse?

Xie Jichuan suppressed a laugh: "No."

If I had to name it, it would be very pink, after all, lychees are pink.

Cheng Yi was finally relieved.

He said that the little pink pig was still a piglet, and its few milk teeth could not possibly leave such marks.

It must have been a big pig to be able to bite out such a ring of teeth marks.

Unable to bear it any longer, Big Pig Li Zhi swung his peripheral bag and plopped down next to Xie Jichuan, coldly glaring at him.

Xie Jichuan quieted down and lowered his rolled-up sleeve to cover the tooth mark.

He raised his hand as if zipping up his mouth, then took out a bottle of milk from his bag, inserted a straw, and respectfully handed it over.

Li Zhi took the drink without any hesitation and drank it without giving Alpha even a glance.

The group quietly slipped in through the back door of the venue.

The audience seats were packed with people, and sitting down there might cause a disturbance, so they were settled in an extra dressing room backstage.

The television in front of us was on, broadcasting the pre-match segment, and the camera slowly panned across the stage.

Jiang Xingle yawned and complained listlessly:

"We're here to watch TV, so why don't we just watch TV right here at the base?"

Liang Shoucheng and the training team have already gone to the competition venue to observe carefully, while Song Bo stayed behind to watch over them.

Hearing this, he tapped Jiang Xingle on the head: "Atmosphere, atmosphere is the most important."

Jiang Xingle pouted: "Fine, fine."

In the footage, the director's camera began to pan across the faces of the two teams one by one.

There's no need to say much about Team HY; we've played against them before and are already somewhat familiar with them. However, this is the first time Li Zhi has met the members of Team ZZ.

The camera panned across a handsome face, and the audience erupted in cheers, which could be heard clearly even through the backstage walls.

The commentator, Cola, chuckled and said, "Yao Yao's popularity is still so strong."

Pepsi chimed in: "After all, he just won the WPL Best Mid Laner award for the latest year, a young talent indeed."

Immediately afterwards, the camera panned across a handsome and distinctive face, and the cheers from the audience grew even louder, almost lifting the roof off the stadium.

Jiang Xingle covered her ears, looking pained: "How come the captain's junior brother suddenly has so many fans?"

Li Zhiwei was slightly taken aback: "Junior Brother?"

Before Jiang Xingle could answer, the commentator's voice rang out: "Key's career has skyrocketed since he returned to China."

Pepsi laughed and chimed in, "Of course, being able to be River's substitute for Ashes is quite an achievement. Back in the day, he was even called 'Little River God' by fans."

Li Zhi understood; it turned out to be someone Xie Jichuan had met abroad during those two years.

No wonder he said Xie Jichuan had no junior brother.

It turns out to be those two years he hadn't experienced.

He pursed his lips, his fingertips subtly slipping into his sleeve, his gaze fixed on the spirited face on the screen, and said nothing.

Xie Jichuan's voice rang out calmly: "What junior brother? We're not familiar with each other. Stop reading those gossip accounts."

Jiang Xingle let out a "howl" and shrank back, no longer causing trouble.

Li Zhi didn't react; instead, she became much more serious than when she first entered the venue, and even took out her phone's memo app to jot down some details of the match.

The two teams traded blows, both focusing on mid-jungle synergy.

However, ZZ's main strategy is to have Yao Yao play the role of a utility mage, sacrificing herself to help Key develop and become powerful, and then gank people everywhere.

This strategy is extremely demanding on the performance of the mid and jungle players on the day of the match; if either of them is not online, the team's resources will be wasted.

But judging from today's match, both YaoYao and Key are in excellent form.

ZZ ultimately won the match 2-1, leaving HY permanently relegated to Group A and disqualifying them from advancing to Group S.

Li Zhi stared at the two teams shaking hands on the TV, her gaze thoughtfully falling on Key, lost in thought.

Just as Xie Jichuan was about to say something, the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open by a staff member.

A Beta employee, looking anxious, shouted breathlessly:

"Manager Song, quickly lead everyone to evacuate through the emergency exit! There's an Omega in heat in the next area, the scene is extremely chaotic!"
