She is always sultry

Chapter 66 Second Round
The time for rest is hard to come by, and the rumors between Qianzhang and Xiaoye are just a minor episode.

After tidying up, Qi You and the other three happily went out for lunch.

Before Tingxue joined the alliance, the group usually had very ordinary meals together, such as hot pot, barbecue, and home-style dishes.

With Miss Tingxue accompanying them, she couldn't stand Qiyou's uncultured attitude, so she waved her hand and led the group to a Michelin-starred restaurant under her family's property to eat French cuisine.

Fortunately, someone cancelled their reservation; otherwise, even the owner wouldn't have been able to dine without a reservation.

"Do you really have to finish this bread?" Qi You looked at the dry bread in front of her, which looked like it could be used as a brick, with a face full of resistance.

Tingxue raised an eyebrow and gestured for the next dish to follow: "The next dish will only be served after you have finished the previous one."

Fine, let's destroy this world.

The season is still ongoing, and the second round of the regular season is about to begin.

OUR's first opponent in the second round is the veteran powerhouse SU. Both teams are typical jungle-centric teams in the KPL, and at least in the previous round, the two teams were evenly matched.

OUR made a crucial mistake and lost the game.

The good news is that, as of now, OUR has earned three points and is ranked second in Group S.

The team ranked first is ACT, the champion of last year's Winter Championship, who has 4 points.

Coach Shu Nian had the best mindset. He directly stated: As long as the points don't drop out of the top four, losing the game isn't a big deal. Just review the game carefully afterward and find the problems.

Recently, this 26-year-old coach seems to have become obsessed with metaphysics and is determined to achieve a winning start. To this end, he has been putting in extra training sessions with several junglers, leading the first and second teams in consecutive training sessions.

The top four teams in Group S will directly enter the playoffs' upper bracket, so OUR only needs to maintain its ranking.

BYD is currently fourth in Group S. If they are overtaken by CLUB, who is fifth, BYD will have to play a match between Group S and Group A to determine their placement. If they lose, they will be relegated to Group A.

If they fail to perform well in Group A, they may even miss the playoffs.

Therefore, no one could understand why Qianzhang would announce his relationship at such a crucial moment.

The team already had issues with cohesion this season, and there were even rumors of discord among BYD's internal players. At this time, the best way to deal with public opinion is to focus on training and ignore the outside world.

Unsurprisingly, BYD's official Weibo account and Qian Zhang and Xiao Ye's personal Weibo accounts have been flooded with comments.

Qi You browsed Weibo with a gossip-loving attitude, but after a few minutes she clicked the exit button.

All I can say is that it's fortunate that she and Zhu Xing made their official announcement during the off-season, fortunate that she obediently followed Sister Li's arrangements for training to improve her personal abilities, and fortunate that she remained quiet and never caused trouble.

The comments under those posts about the couple's affection were far more vulgar than the insults they hurled at each other.

After turning off her phone, Qi You returned to the commentary booth with a sense of relief.

Today happens to be her commentary on Zhu Xing's match.

The regular season format is best-of-five (BO5), not a global ban/pick system, allowing the same hero to be used repeatedly. The first two games saw both sides play fairly standard strategies, using conventional lineups: Master Di Renjie, Taiyi Xiangxiang, Sun Bin Ma Chao, and Xiao Ming Lulu.
Starting from the third game, surprisingly, OUR changed their lineup, switching from their usual jungle-side team fight initiation to mid-jungle synergy.

Although kk is a core player, his performance is not very impressive. He can deal the expected damage and control when entering the fray, but at best, he can only trade one for one, which is not very outstanding.

Zhu Xing continued to use Lu Bu and Xiahou Dun as his side laners, quietly pre-purchasing semi-tank items and accurately delivering control, allowing all of SU skills to be used on him.

Several players created an excellent output environment for Silvermoon's sustained damage, and he lived up to expectations, earning the MVP award for the match with an average of 35% damage output. Actually, kk has used mage assassins many times this season, but still made many mistakes. On the contrary, Silvermoon has begun to show his talent, and other teams are gradually realizing that OUR's new marksman seems to be a rising star.

They are decisive in team play, have tricky positioning, and play aggressively.
No wonder he was chosen by Shu Nian.

However, Qi You keenly observed that KK was gradually regaining her touch. Mai Shiranui's combos were becoming increasingly smooth, and her entry timing was becoming more and more crucial.

She has high hopes for them this season!

Backstage, as usual, Qi You hid in the dressing room to send a message to Zhu Xing.

[Yuzu] Congratulations! Coach Shu Nian can finally get a good night's sleep.

[Prayer] Yes, we can all get a good night's sleep.

That's a lie. They were clearly forced by their team leader, Xiao Xu, to go to bed early and wake up early, to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and even their phones were confiscated before bedtime.

It's obvious that someone is just playing the victim; it's really unfair.
Qi You lowered her eyes and pouted, but she was actually falling for this act.

[Yuzu] So, will the teacher who prays for me tonight still elope with me?
"Elopement" was the secret code the two had agreed upon. In reality, it meant that the two of them broke away from the group, held hands, and slowly walked back to the hotel.

[Prayer] Um, the coach is treating us to hot pot later. Miss Yuzu, would you like to join me for a late-night snack?
Are you eating grapefruit in your training room?

[Prayer] Yes.

[Pomelo] Then what's the point of eloping! The food will get cold!

[Prayer] Then come out quickly, we are all at the back door.

[Prayer] Cat patting head (jpg).
Qi You turned off her phone, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and smiled slightly.

The front door is the exclusive entrance for the audience, while these "staff members" have to use the back door, the staff entrance.

From a distance, it was clear that the unofficial member, Zhizhi, had somehow donned OUR's symbolic red, white, and black team uniform and was leaning lazily against a pillar, blending seamlessly with the massive team behind him.

While Zhu Xing was still talking to Shu Nian, Qi You simply put her arm around Zhi Zhi's arm and waved to everyone.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xiao Xu waved his hand and gestured for everyone to board the bus in an orderly manner.

Qi You was already very familiar with OUR's bus. Seeing the starting team members gathered in the front row listening to Shu Nian's post-match summary, she didn't disturb them and simply sat down and chatted with the other girls in Zhi Zhi's team.

The bus was noisy, and the bright lights illuminated the excited faces of the boys. Qi You glanced over and saw their rosy cheeks, which brightened her mood as well.

The words she had read could never compare to the awe she felt when she was there in person.

Qi You is familiar with the growth history of every KPL team, but it's like watching a movie, a fleeting glimpse. She might be amazed, she might feel sorry for them, but she always feels like an outsider, unable to truly empathize with them.

Only when she experienced failures and setbacks alongside them, and witnessed them climb back to the top, did she truly understand why her twin brother had entered the LPL without hesitation and had not yet retired.

Hmm. Maybe next time they meet, she can introduce her boyfriend to her brother?
I feel that the two of them will have many common topics and interests.

Speaking of hobbies, she seemed to remember that Zhu Xing had a guitar in his room. Had she never heard him play the guitar?
[Pomelo] Best wishes to Xing!!

Yes, that's just how unreasonable she is.
