126: What a thrilling five-man team match!
As Lu Chen uttered these words, the atmosphere inside the car instantly became somewhat eerie.
Liu Ruyan slightly raised her chin, her eyes revealing a hint of doubt and curiosity, thinking, "What new trick is Lu Chen up to now?"
Gu Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, subtly furrowed her brows, a flicker of anticipation in her eyes.
A tense and exciting game?
Does Lu Chen want to... but with so many people here, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate... Gu Xiaoxiao's cheeks suddenly flushed slightly, not knowing what she had thought of.
Her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes, her body tensed slightly, and her heart pounded, like a little deer thrashing about.
Ambiguous scenes of her alone with Lu Chen involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
But as soon as she thought of the others around, she quickly suppressed these thoughts, her eyes revealing a hint of shyness and panic.
Gao Xuewei maintained her gentle smile, but her eyes showed a hint of doubt and unease, her hand pausing slightly on Xiao Xi's hair.
She then resumed her gentle stroking motion, trying to alleviate her inner tension with this small action.
Chen Mengyao's cheeks were also slightly flushed; she secretly looked up at everyone, then quickly lowered her head, her small hands constantly twisting the hem of her clothes.
She was both nervous and somewhat expectant.
Playing a game with Lu Chen, this was something that had never happened before, but I'm really not good at games, what if I make a fool of myself?
Chen Mengyao's eyes were filled with worry and unease, her body trembled slightly, and her pink feet, encased in white silk, unconsciously rubbed gently on the ground, revealing her extreme nervousness.
Lu Chen watched their varied reactions, the smile on his lips growing wider; he deliberately paused, then slowly said,
"This game, well, it's that very popular 'Honor of Heroes' recently. The five of us can just do a five-person ranked match. How about it, one game?"
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the four women one by one.
Liu Ruyan was slightly startled, and a hint of fighting spirit immediately ignited in her eyes; she straightened her body, crossed her arms over her chest, and said confidently, "What's there to be afraid of? Let's play!"
Gu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but she still nodded slightly and said, "Alright, since President Lu suggested it, let's play for a bit."
Her eyes revealed a hint of despondency and helplessness; she had originally thought Lu Chen would suggest some more intimate interaction, but it turned out to be playing a mobile game.
Gu Xiaoxiao gently swiped her finger across her phone screen, opening the game app, but her gaze was somewhat distant, as if she was still thinking about other things.
Gao Xuewei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I'm not very good at playing, but since President Lu wants to play, I'll join everyone."
Chen Mengyao timidly raised her head, her eyes full of worry, and whispered, "I... I'm afraid I won't play well and will drag everyone down..."
Her voice trembled slightly, and her hands nervously clutched the hem of her skirt.
She really rarely played games; she not only lacked the conditions but also the time.
Lu Chen glanced at her, without a trace of sympathy in his eyes, and merely said indifferently, "It's fine, just do your best."
So, everyone took out their phones and started the game.
Lu Chen skillfully operated his phone, saying, "I'll play marksman, Liu Ruyan, you go jungle."
Liu Ruyan nodded, her eyes also filled with determination, and said, "Don't worry, President Lu, I won't let you down."
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at them, a hint of despondency in her eyes, and she softly said, "Then I'll go mid-lane."
Gao Xuewei smiled and said, "Then I'll go top-lane; I'll try my best to defend it."
Chen Mengyao, with her head down, whispered, "I... I'll support President Lu..."
Her voice was almost inaudible, her hands constantly twisting the hem of her clothes, her eyes filled with nervousness and unease.
She chose a simple support hero, her fingers trembling as she tapped the screen, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and fear, worried that she would be scolded by Lu Chen for poor operation.
The game began.
Lu Chen's fingers swiftly moved across the screen, his eyes fixed on it, his expression becoming serious.
Liu Ruyan also concentrated on operating her phone, constantly moving through the jungle, looking for the best timing to strike.
Gu Xiaoxiao cautiously cleared minion waves in the mid-lane, a hint of prudence in her eyes, constantly monitoring the top and bottom lanes, ready to provide support at any time.
Gao Xuewei diligently defended the tower in the top lane.
Chen Mengyao followed closely beside Lu Chen, her eyes filled with nervousness.
She occasionally healed Lu Chen or cast a small skill, but due to her extreme nervousness, her operations appeared somewhat clumsy.
A tense and exciting confrontation game thus began... "Support, support, follow me!"
Lu Chen frowned and said impatiently.
Chen Mengyao's face turned pale with fright, her eyes filled with terror and guilt, her hands trembled slightly, and her voice, with a hint of a sob, timidly said,
"I... I'm sorry, President Lu, I... I didn't notice... I'll follow right away..."
As she spoke, she frantically operated her phone, her eyes full of anxiety, trying to make up for her mistake.
Lu Chen shook his head: "It's no use, I'm already dead."
Chen Mengyao's face grew even paler, tears welling up in her eyes, her lips trembled, and she could barely speak: "President... President Lu, I'm sorry..."
Lu Chen glanced indifferently at Chen Mengyao and said flatly, "From now on, every time I die, I'll deduct ten thousand yuan from your salary."
Chen Mengyao: "..."
Gao Xuewei, Liu Ruyan, and Gu Xiaoxiao witnessed this scene.
"Do you understand?"
Chen Mengyao quickly nodded: "Yes... Yes, I understand, President Lu."
The game continued.
And Chen Mengyao, after her initial mistake, became even more nervous, her eyes filled with unease and self-blame, and her operations became even more cautious.
She followed Lu Chen closely, barely daring to relax in the slightest, afraid of making another mistake that would make Lu Chen even angrier.
Game days are always happy and fleeting.
Soon,
The car drove to the entrance of a stadium.
Before it even stopped, a cacophony of noise could be heard from outside.
Looking around, a large crowd had already gathered at the entrance, most of them wearing Yu Miaoyin's fan merchandise, waving glow sticks and homemade support signs, their faces showing either excitement or anger.
These were Yu Miaoyin's fans, who had happily come to watch their idol's concert, but unexpectedly found themselves in the embarrassing situation of not having bought tickets.
"What's going on? Why are these tickets so hard to buy? I waited for days in advance and still couldn't get one!"
A young man's face was flushed, veins bulging on his forehead.
"Exactly! I tried several scalpers, and they all said there were no tickets. What exactly is going on?!"
The girl next to him echoed, her eyes red, her voice with a hint of a sob, tightly clutching a crumpled support towel in her hand.
"No, we can't just let this go. They must give us an explanation!"
A middle-aged man wearing glasses shouted loudly, his eyes burning with anger; as he spoke, he led the charge forward, trying to get an explanation from the staff.
The crowd immediately erupted like a boiling pot, everyone complaining at once:
"We support Yu Miaoyin so much, how can the organizers treat us like this!"
"Exactly, is there some shady business going on? Why can't we buy a single ticket!"
The staff were surrounded, sweating profusely, wiping the beads of sweat that constantly emerged from their foreheads with their hands, and desperately explaining,
"Everyone, please calm down, we don't know what's going on either. The ticketing situation this time is indeed very strange, and we are also working hard to coordinate."
However, their voices were drowned out by the angry crowd, and no one was willing to listen to their explanations.
Just then, Lu Chen's car slowly drove in.
Everyone was stunned at first, looking at each other, not understanding what this suddenly appearing luxury car was about.
Only after the car smoothly drove into the stadium did they realize, as if waking from a dream, that the owner of this car actually had tickets.
This was undoubtedly like a fuse, instantly igniting the long-suppressed anger in their hearts.
"Why can they go in? This is too unfair!"
"Exactly, do rich people get to use the back door? We've waited so long and worked so hard, but we can't even get in!"
The crowd once again angrily rushed towards the staff, surrounding them completely.
The staff were even more bewildered and at a loss, completely unable to understand how this sudden situation had occurred.
Amidst the angry gazes and clamorous questions of the crowd, Lu Chen slowly stepped out of the car.
He stood tall and straight, his face stern, his eyes revealing an innate majesty, as if all the surrounding clamor had nothing to do with him.
He took steady steps, walking forward one by one, each step exuding an aura that commanded attention.
Immediately after, Liu Ruyan gracefully emerged.
She still maintained that proud and confident demeanor, her dark purple qipao tightly embracing her curvaceous figure, and with every step, the hem of her skirt would gently sway, like a mysterious flower blooming in the dark night.
She slightly raised her chin, her eyes calmly sweeping over the angry crowd around her, her exquisite makeup and elegant hairstyle all highlighting her nobility and cold beauty.
Gu Xiaoxiao followed behind, a hint of nervousness and unease in her eyes.
She subconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes, her steps slightly hesitant, forming a stark contrast with Liu Ruyan's confidence.
Her white T-shirt and jeans appeared particularly simple and understated in this chaotic scene, as if she were an outsider who had accidentally stumbled into this dispute.
Gao Xuewei, on the other hand, held Xiao Xi's hand and walked out calmly.
She wore a gentle smile, her eyes filled with tenderness, and her red dress shimmered in the sunlight, like an elegant noblewoman, exuding a soft and warm aura.
Chen Mengyao was the last to get out of the car, her eyes filled with timidity, almost daring not to look up at the people around her.
She followed closely behind everyone, her steps hurried and flustered, like a startled fawn, afraid that she would become the focus of everyone's attention.
Her hands nervously clutched the hem of her skirt, her body trembled slightly, and her face was as pale as paper, forming a stark contrast with her lotus root pink dress, making her appear even more fragile and pitiful.
Their appearance instantly plunged the entire venue into silence.
Everyone's gaze was as if drawn by an invisible force, all turning to them in unison.
For a moment, only the faint breathing of the crowd and the steady footsteps of Lu Chen and the others remained at the entrance of the entire stadium, as if time itself had stopped at this moment.
