Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Lin Feng was stunned. He didn't expect Yu Shuang to talk to him about this topic.

Yu Shuang continued, "Our line of work may seem glamorous, but it's actually very stressful and lonely. Every day in front of the camera, we have to stay in our best condition and speak appropriately. In private, the circle is also very small, and it's hard to meet someone you can really confide in."

"I've seen many people in the circle break up and get back together, and I've heard many unknown stories. Sometimes, I feel that feelings are too illusory and too easy to deteriorate." There was a hint of fatigue and uneasiness in her eyes.

"I've been in love before, but they all ended in failure. Sometimes I wonder if it's my own problem? Am I asking too much of a relationship? Or... am I simply not suited to being in a relationship?"

Lin Feng listened quietly without disturbing her. He could sense the confusion and uneasiness hidden in Yu Shuang's words. This confident and calm female host on the stage, now in front of him, was like a lost child.

"Rita is...very brave. She goes after the one she likes and doesn't care about what others think. I think she's great and free and easy." Yu Shuang's tone was filled with envy. "And I...always seem to worry too much, looking ahead and behind, afraid of getting hurt, and also afraid...of causing trouble for others."

She raised her head and looked at Lin Feng with a hint of expectation in her eyes: "Lin Feng, do you think... I am weird?"

Lin Feng looked at Yu Shuang's confused and fragile eyes, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart. He remembered that he had also experienced similar confusion and self-doubt during the low point of his career.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Sister Yu Shuang, I don't think you are weird at all."

His voice was gentle yet firm, like a warm current that flowed into Yu Shuang's heart.

"Everyone has different views and ways of dealing with relationships. There is no absolute right or wrong. Rita's courage and boldness are worthy of admiration, but your caution and seriousness are equally precious."

"You have a lot of concerns, which means you are responsible for your relationship and don't want to start or end it easily. You are afraid of getting hurt and causing trouble to others, which shows that you are kind and considerate of others."

Lin Feng's eyes were sincere and frank: "I think you are very good like this."

Yu Shuang's eyes were slightly moist. She didn't expect Lin Feng to say that. These words were like a key that unlocked the knot in her heart that had been lingering for a long time.

Lin Feng continued, "As for what you said, you don't know what kind of relationship you want. I think this is normal. Relationships are not a formula that can set the answer in advance. Many times, it is only after meeting someone that you slowly understand, oh, so this is what I want."

"It's like playing a game," Lin Feng cleverly used a metaphor, "You may not know which hero is best for you at the beginning. You need to try, feel, and get along with your teammates. You may encounter unsuitable heroes and lose the game, but it doesn't matter. What's important is that in this process, you will get to know yourself better and better, and you will know more and more about what you want."

"So, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't deny yourself because of past experiences. Be brave to feel, touch, and believe. The feelings that belong to you will surely come quietly at some unexpected moment."

Lin Feng's tone was gentle but full of strength. He looked at Yu Shuang with encouragement and support in his eyes.

Yu Shuang listened quietly, Lin Feng's words moistened her dry heart like spring rain. She felt her tense nerves relax unprecedentedly at this moment.

It turned out that someone understood her. It turned out that her worries and anxieties were not strange at all.

She looked at Lin Feng, her eyes full of gratitude: "Lin Feng, thank you. After hearing what you said, I feel... much better."

"You're welcome." Lin Feng smiled, "Glad that I can help you."

"Actually..." Yu Shuang's cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice became a little softer, "I was very happy when I went to the creative market with you last time. That feeling... was very relaxing and comfortable."

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Yu Shuang with a shy smile, and the throbbing in his heart became more and more obvious.

"Me too," he responded softly.

The two smiled at each other, and there was a faint sweetness in the air. All the estrangements and misunderstandings that had arisen because of Rita seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

“So…” Yu Shuang mustered up her courage and looked at Lin Feng with a hint of expectation in her eyes, “If… I mean if, you don’t have anyone you particularly like right now, and… you don’t mind having more contact with me…”

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat and he could hardly believe his ears.

Yu Shuang...is this hinting something to him?

He looked at Yu Shuang's bright and nervous eyes, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Sister Yu Shuang, my feelings for Rita are indeed just a friendship between friends. As for you..."

He paused, his eyes became extremely serious: "I really like you."

These words, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, created ripples in Yu Shuang's heart.

Her cheeks flushed instantly, and her heartbeat began to speed up uncontrollably. She didn't expect Lin Feng to respond so directly.

Lin Feng looked at her shy appearance, his heart filled with joy and a little nervousness. He stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the back of Yu Shuang's hand on the table.

Yu Shuang's body trembled slightly, but she did not dodge.

"So," Lin Feng's voice was a little hoarse and magnetic, "I'm very happy to have more contact with you and get to know you better."

Yu Shuang raised her head and looked into Lin Feng's sincere and passionate eyes. The uneasiness and confusion in her heart completely disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented certainty and...sweetness.

She nodded gently, a bright smile on her lips: "Yeah."

At this moment, the hustle and bustle outside the window of the cafe seemed to have stopped. Only the two of them, under the soft light, enjoyed this tacit beauty.

The misunderstanding was resolved and they understood each other. It seemed that their story had just opened the most wonderful page. And Raymond Lam also understood that whether it was the glory on the field or the happiness in life, he needed to fight for it and protect it with all his heart.

The next day, Lin Feng returned to the base and felt refreshed. Although he and Yu Shuang had not yet officially confirmed their relationship, the feeling of mutual understanding filled him with motivation. His teammates also keenly noticed the change in Lin Feng's mood.

"Brother Fengzi, did you find money today? Why are you smiling so happily?" Uzi joked in his daily life.

"That's right, it feels like Brother Fengzi is glowing!" Xiaohu also joined in the fun.

Lin Feng just smiled without further explanation, but he couldn't hide the smile in the corner of his eyes.

In the afternoon's practice match, RNG played against a mid-tier LCK team. In the practice room, the sounds of keyboards and mice could be heard one after another.

Just in the middle of the training match, during the halftime break, the door of the training room was suddenly pushed open.

A beautiful figure walked in, holding a few large paper bags in her hands. "Dangdangdang! Surprise!" Rita's voice was clear and pleasant, with a bright smile on her face.

She was wearing a pink sports suit today, which made her skin look white and full of energy.

The RNG players were a little surprised when they saw Rita.

"Sister Rita? Why are you here?" Karsa asked curiously.

"I came to see if you've been training hard! By the way, I brought afternoon tea for everyone!" Rita said, putting a paper bag on the table, which contained various exquisite cakes, milk tea and fruits.

“Wow! Sister Rita is so nice!” Uzi’s eyes lit up and he rushed over first.

"Thank you Sister Rita!" Xiaohu and Ming also expressed their gratitude.

Lin Feng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Rita to come to the base suddenly. He saw Rita's eyes linger on him for a moment, with a subtle expectation.

"Sister Rita, you are so kind to our brother Fengzi! You even went out of your way to bring him afternoon tea!" Uzi said as he ate his cake, "We are all benefiting from brother Fengzi's help!"

"That's right! Brother Fengzi is so charming!" The teammates echoed one after another, their eyes moving back and forth between Lin Feng and Rita, full of gossip.

Rita's cheeks turned red as she glared at Uzi in a reproachful manner: "You are the only one who talks too much! I came here to express my condolences to everyone who has been training hard!" As she spoke, she picked up a cup of milk tea, walked to Raymond Lam, and handed it to him: "Brother Fengzi, your favorite original milk tea, with less ice and less sugar."

Lin Feng took the milk tea, looked at his teammates helplessly, and said to Rita: "Thank you, I'm sorry for the expense."

"Why are you being so polite to me!" Rita smiled brightly, "You guys train hard and try to win another championship!"

Rita's arrival instantly made the originally boring training room lively. She talked and laughed with the team members and soon became friends with them. The team members were very fond of this beautiful and enthusiastic female host and expressed their envy of Raymond Lam for having such a good "friend".

Lin Feng looked at Rita playing with her teammates, and he felt a little emotional. Rita was indeed a very likable girl. Her enthusiasm and straightforwardness easily infected the people around her. But... another person had already lived in his heart.

After sending Rita away, the training continued. Lin Feng's mind was a little erratic. He knew that Rita's feelings for him had not changed because of her last rejection. As for Yu Shuang, although the two of them had a mutual understanding, they had not officially broken the window paper after all.

"This won't work..." Lin Feng thought to himself. He didn't want to hurt anyone, and he didn't want Yu Shuang to misunderstand him.

A few days later, on a day off, Lin Feng mustered up his courage and took the initiative to send a message to Rita: "Rita, are you free? I want to treat you to a meal, and by the way... I want to talk to you about something."

Rita quickly replied: "Sure, sure! Brother Fengzi took the initiative to ask me out, I must be free!"

Lin Feng thought about it, and sent another message to Yu Shuang: "Sister Yu Shuang, are you free tomorrow? I want to... invite you and Rita to have dinner together. I want to clarify something with you in person."

Yu Shuang was slightly surprised when she saw the message, but she soon understood Lin Feng's intention. She replied, "Okay."

The next afternoon, Raymond Lam made an appointment with Rita and Yu Shuang to meet in a quiet tea restaurant.

Rita arrived first, still dressed fashionably and beautifully. Yu Shuang arrived shortly after, wearing a simple white shirt and jeans, looking intellectual and generous.

When Rita saw Yu Shuang also appeared, the smile on her face froze slightly, but soon returned to normal, and took the initiative to greet Yu Shuang: "Sister Yu Shuang, what a coincidence!"

Yu Shuang also responded with a smile: "Yes, what a coincidence."

Lin Feng looked at the two beauties with very different styles, took a deep breath, and said straight to the point: "I asked you two out today because I want to make some things clear."

Rita and Yu Shuang both fell silent and looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at Rita with a sincere and serious look: "Rita, first of all, thank you very much for your love and support for me. You are a very good girl, enthusiastic, cheerful and kind. I am very happy to be friends with you."

Rita's heart sank slightly, and she seemed to have a premonition of what Lin Feng was going to say next.

"But," Lin Feng paused and said firmly, "In terms of love, I already have someone I like."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Yu Shuang, his eyes full of tenderness and determination.

Yu Shuang's cheeks flushed instantly, and her heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect Lin Feng to be so direct.

Rita looked at the way Lin Feng looked at Yu Shuang, and the last bit of fantasy in her heart was shattered. She took a deep breath, trying to make her expression look less lost, and forced a smile: "Is it... Sister Yu Shuang?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Yes."

There was a subtle awkwardness in the air.

Yu Shuang looked at Rita's disappointed expression and felt a little sorry for her. She took the initiative to say, "Rita, Lin Feng... is a very good person. I believe that you will definitely meet someone who is truly suitable for you."

Rita looked at Yu Shuang's sincere eyes, then looked at Lin Feng, was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled with relief: "Okay, okay, I lose to you! But Brother Fengzi, you have to be nice to Sister Yu Shuang, otherwise I won't forgive you!" Her tone was a little teasing, but her eyes were full of sincere blessings.

Raymond Lam and Yu Shuang both breathed a sigh of relief and admired Rita's open-mindedness.

"Thank you, Rita." Lin Feng said sincerely.

"What are you thanking me for? We're friends!" Rita picked up the teacup and said carelessly, "Come on, come on, let's celebrate our brother Fengzi finally coming to his senses, and our sister Yushuang finding a good man. Cheers!"

Lin Feng and Yu Shuang smiled at each other and raised their teacups.

The meal was held in a wonderful and harmonious atmosphere. The three people who might have been caught up in emotional entanglements, after a frank communication, all let go of the burdens in their hearts. Although Rita was a little disappointed, she was also really happy for Raymond Lam and Yu Shuang. Yu Shuang also had a deeper understanding of Rita's free and easy and kind nature.

Lin Feng looked at the two beauties talking and laughing happily, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He knew that for some things, facing them honestly was the best way to solve them.

After resolving his emotional problems, Lin Feng put all his energy into preparing for the next battle. (End of this chapter)
