You"re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 76 Part 1
“What about it?” Lu Sicheng supported his chin with one of his hands, with a faint smile on his face. “You"re nervous about going to a movie with me?”
Tong Yao was indeed nervous about that.
A single man and a single woman who were only just teammates going to the movies together. Tong Yao couldn"t stop herself from having any wild thoughts.
“What if people see us-- --”
“You"ve already played a third of the games in the regular league seasonal compet.i.tion. Haven"t you gotten used to the fact that you"re a public figure already and will be constantly under public scrutiny?” Lu Sicheng said flatly. “The first time I let you hide behind me because you had just joined the team. But it won"t be the same for the second time……”
“Why?”
“You have to learn to cope with it, that"s the basics. You have to get used to the fact that you"re a public figure, then learn not to be influenced by public opinion-- --”
“Haven"t you always said ‘don"t make trouble, conduct yourself well"?” Tong Yao raised up her chopsticks. “That"s what you taught me before.”
“Even if you manage to do that, people will still say things about you.” Lu Sicheng gave Tong Yao a glance and pushed down her chopsticks. “For example, people will say you"ve gained weight during a stream.”
Tong Yao abruptly covered her face and asked, horrified. “Really?”
“See, this is exactly how you"d be influenced by public opinion. Wouldn"t you know whether you"ve gained weight or not yourself? Wait till you learn to confidently retort back ‘I haven"t gained weight, you"re just blind." Then you"re ready to graduate.”
“......Oh. But, what does all of this have anything to do with you and me going to a movie together?”
“It"s training for you and it"s free of charge.” Lu Sicheng said seriously. “Are you done? I bought tickets for the next showing. I don"t want to miss the beginning.”
Tong Yao thought it was already a lot of work training, playing skirmishes, and learning new champions at base. Now she had to receive mental training even when she was out of the base-- --On top of that, she had her salary deducted just because she wasn"t happy about someone-- --Why was it so hard to be a professional player?
“It"s hard to play professionally.”
“You want the crown, you have to bear the hardship.”
“Don"t look down, your crown will fall. Don"t cry, the bad guys will laugh?”
“What"s that?”
“..............................Nothing, I just made it up.”
“Don"t read those useless chicken soup books. Spend your time watching more famous matches-- --During the spring compet.i.tion this year, which team was I against when I turned the game around by killing 5 enemies all at once?”
“......CK!”
“It"s Qing Dynasty?”
“......”
“You just kept guessing. You don"t even watch the matches during the spring compet.i.tion to study the team that we"re going to face this week. You"re over inflated.”
“.......”
Tong Yao was being lectured all the way to the movie theatre.
They took the escalator up to the theatre. Lin Sicheng went ahead to fetch the tickets. Tong Yao checked the time and looked at the people who were waiting for the same movie in the lobby, She was still uneasy. She made an excuse to go to the bathroom and planned to wait till it was about showtime and then enter the theatre when most of the moviegoers had already gone in……
