Top Of Glory[Esports] Chapter 32
byReappear
When the man in staff uniform was detained by the security guards who arrived, he was still struggling and insulting He Chen and was very emotional.
He is packing Tiger’s tail.
Lin An held He Chen’s shoulder with one hand and checked him up and down.
It smells like orange juice, but I’m not sure if it’s mixed with other liquids.
“Does it hurt anywhere?” Lin An asked him in a low voice with a feeling of pain in his heart as the shoulder pressed by his palm trembled slightly.
He Chen shook his head. His thick black long eyelashes were smeared with liquid, making him unable to open his eyes.
A drop of light yellow liquid flowed down his wet temples and hit Lin An’s arm.
Lin An subconsciously wanted to help him wipe it, but He Chen broke away from him.
Lin An’s hand paused in mid-air for two seconds without forcing him. His eyes first stopped on the attacker, then looked past him and glanced at the bottle with liquid remaining on the ground.
Lay reacted the fastest and picked it up and gave it to Qiao Zhi.
“I’m going to find someone to test the liquid content inside,” Qiao Zhihe said briefly to the staff at the venue who kept apologizing. “You go to the lounge first. There is a spare set of team uniforms in the car. Let Hechen put it on first.”
When they got to the lounge, the venue’s medical team arrived.
The original team uniform jacket had large yellow water stains that were no longer visible.
He Chen took off his coat, and his thin body was wrapped in a T-shirt. He looked small and was being held down by the doctor to check his body.
“There are no external injuries on the body. The eyes and exposed skin are also fine. There should be no corrosive ingredients in the liquid.” The doctor breathed a sigh of relief after the examination.
Lao Tao’s face was still ugly, but the security at the venue was negligent and it was useless to embarrass the medical team. After thanking him, he asked them to stay for a while.
“We have already sent people to check the ingredients of the spilled liquid. The results will be available soon, just in case.”
Qiao Zhi’s inspection results came out quickly, “This is the first time a competition of this magnitude was held at the KT venue. The staff previously were not enough, so some people were temporarily recruited, and the attacker took the opportunity to sneak in.”
“Fortunately, the staff also have to go through security checks when entering. What they can access is the drink provided by the venue. It is indeed orange juice. It is not adulterated.”
It can be considered a blessing in misfortune.
KT’s general manager in charge of this event heard about the attack on FP players in the parking lot. He was sweating coldly and came to FP’s lounge to apologize in person.
“…It is true that we made some omissions in our work. This is also the first time we have qualified for the summer competition. Many equipments have not kept up. I am really sorry…”
There were many people gathered in the lounge, each talking to each other.
Lin An’s eyes always fell on He Chen.
He Chen was sitting on the sofa, among the crowd, but it seemed as if a high transparent wall had been built around him, completely isolating himself from the outside world.
Lin An noticed something was wrong with He Chen’s state from just now.
He Chen usually didn’t talk much, but he wasn’t as quiet as now.
And when they were in contact just now, He Chen’s body’s direct reaction and subconscious escape were not deceiving.
“Go to the bathroom and clean up.”
He Chen had no reaction at first.
Lin An said again, and then he slowly raised his head.
The blankness in the black pupils was heartbreaking to see.
He Chen took the clothes from Lin An and went to the bathroom without looking at anyone.
Lin An looked at his lonely back, sent a message to his lawyer, and received a reply quickly.
He had previously consulted lawyer He Chen’s family affairs, and entrusted them to investigate the details of the entire incident.
People from the law firm mentioned this matter a few days ago, but FP was busy training at that time, and Lin An didn’t make time to pay attention.
Looking at the file sent by the other party, Lin An directly received it and opened it.
“Wow——”
In the bathroom, He Chen stood in front of the sink, with the faucet turned on, and he rinsed his face over and over again.
The skin on my face still tingled.
Hechen’s chest was heaving, and he was holding his hands on the sink. He was shocked by the ice, but he didn’t care at all.
His arms trembled convulsively. He Chen raised his eyes and met his own gaze in the mirror.
The whites of his eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, he seemed to see himself standing in front of the camera at a loss ten years ago.
The color of the fabric dyed through fresh orange juice gradually deepened, and became a large area of deep red.
Hechen began to have visions of his father being pushed into the emergency room.
He closed his eyes hard.
So embarrassing.
He Chen struggled to squeeze out a breath from his chest.
The sound of running water suddenly stopped.
He Chen opened his eyes keenly, but was hugged tightly by the visitor.
The scent of pine enveloped him, and He Chen realized who it was, and the two arms that resisted hung down with nowhere to rest.
“Captain…”
“Ten minutes.” Lin An interrupted him, “The game starts in thirty minutes, and you still have ten minutes to immerse yourself in your emotions.”
He Chen’s eyes turned red for a moment.
His wet face was rested properly on his broad shoulders. He Chen couldn’t help but bury his face in it, raised his hands to wrap around Lin An’s back, and grasped the fabric of the team uniform behind him.
Lin An’s shoulders were a little wet.
Thinking of what he just saw, his heart ached so much that his Adam’s apple rolled up and down, but he could only say one sentence out of a thousand words.
“…I won’t tell others.”
This was not the first time He Chen encountered such a scene. The last time was ten years ago.
Apart from performances and commendations, this was the first time he stood in front of so many people and was hated and questioned.
A barrel of gasoline was poured down his pocket, and he looked at his reflection in countless black lenses, as if he was burning in the strong and pungent smell.
“I thought I had forgotten it, but it turns out I haven’t.” He Chen murmured self-deprecatingly.
Lin An paused as he followed the movement of his hair, and a complex color flashed in his eyes.
In addition to this matter, the law firm also discovered some other matters.
However, the situation was not yet clear, and Lin An was afraid that if she broke up with him in advance, it would only lead to disappointment.
He was hesitating, but his arms were suddenly empty.
He Chen turned around, washed his face again, and went to the cubicle to put on his spare team uniform.
Apart from his red eyes, there was nothing unusual about him.
“Let’s go.” He Chen took two steps to Lin An’s side and wanted to walk out.
The team uniform he was wearing was prepared by Qiao Zhi just in case. He wanted to ensure that everyone could wear it, so he ordered a larger size of 190.
Hechen is 179cm tall and thin, so when he puts on this suit of clothes, he inevitably looks a little pitiful.
“Wait.” Lin An stopped him before he walked out, “There is still some time.”
What to do?
Before He Chen could ask, Lin An took his arm and pulled him in front of him.
Lin An lowered his head, and the hand he was typing on the keyboard was holding up his long sleeves.
During the movement, the skin of each other’s wrists almost brushed, and He Chen retracted his hand as if it had been burned.
“Okay.”
He Chen nodded casually and took the lead to leave this strange environment.
No one mentioned the brief ten minutes in the bathroom again, and He Chen packed up his peripherals.
Lao Tao was a little worried about him and asked: “Is it okay? If you feel uncomfortable, let Lay play for you this time. The same thing will happen next time you play.”
He Chen thought about his proposal carefully. If it was a single match, he would naturally have no hesitation…
But this is a team competition, and Hechen has to consider the impact his negative state will have on the team.
Before he could make up his mind, it was Lay who spoke first.
Lay threw his peripheral bag behind the sofa and sat down on the sofa. “Why are you so fussy about something like this? What’s wrong with him?”
“You fight well and don’t let me look down on you.”
He Chen silently gave him a high-five, but the noisy emotions in his heart seemed to be torn open and dormant for a short time, and his whole person became strangely quiet.
Lin An glanced at the players in the room and said calmly, “Come on.”
What happened backstage could not be hidden from the fans at all. As soon as FP came on the stage, the cheers of FP’s team fans who came to watch the game almost penetrated the venue building.
Hechen’s eyes were squinted by the spotlights in the venue. He took a deep breath and walked into the soundproof cabin.
Although he was cared for and comforted by his teammates and found time to adjust his emotions, it was impossible that what just happened had no impact on He Chen at all.
There was no problem with his consciousness, but his hand muscles were stiff and he was not very obedient. He failed to trap Coco in two consecutive auxiliary skills.
This is almost impossible to happen in normal training.
“Mine.” He Chen frowned, his face getting paler.
“It’s okay, just relax and follow me.” Coco moved around to avoid KT’s ADC’s long-term attack, not forgetting to comfort He Chen.
Lin An’an’s transparent box on the lower road flashed, and his voice was cold and solemn, “The people are on the lower road, ready to pick up the guests.”
Although KT is a relatively weak team among the teams shortlisted for the summer split, they can still see Hechen’s two mistakes. It is impossible for them not to know about FP-Dawn just now, so…
“Are you embarrassed?” Coco’s face turned cold. KT obviously couldn’t beat him head-on, so he wanted to pick on the weaklings and bully them.
Something like this happened today. FP and the others were already holding back their anger, but now they couldn’t hold it back anymore.
He Chen said nothing.
The source of the current situation lies within ourselves.
It was his mistake that made him a breakthrough point for the opponent. In the game, the weak will be beaten. This is the law of the jungle. You can’t blame others.
“Dawn——” Lin An suddenly reminded.
KT’s jungler crossed the valley, recovered with his teammates, and approached Hechen with the ADC and support trio at the same time.
At the same time——
Just a second before Lin An spoke, He Chen’s eyes flashed and he suddenly took action.
Nuwa’s moon whip was thrown away, and the moonlight stars flowed with her movements, pulling Coco outside the encirclement.
The stars and the moon are upside down——
The moon whip was thrown away again, and the whip circled the three opponents——
Their skill bars were all covered by stars and reduced to basic attacks.
Five seconds of skill action time is completely enough for Coco.
“Beautiful!” Coco praised and came up to harvest.
Only He Chen knew that his hand was actually stiff for a moment.
