Chapter 77 (2)

By the time Tong Yao woke up, it was time for the late night meal.

She saw Lu Sicheng sitting in his own seat. Tong Yao sat in her seat beside him with messy hair and black circles under her eyes. He asked: Did you become a thief? Didnt even show up for dinner.

Tong Yao listlessly gave him a glance then gave a rather lackluster response: En.

Lu Sicheng paused for a bit then turned to look at Tong Yao: Duos?

Tong Yao stretched her head to take a look at Lu Sichengs computer screen, then shrank back: Youre Diamond again, why bother playing duos.

You used Lu Yues id.

No way. You have to pay for a game leveler. He used my id to lower my rank and I use his id to get him up a rank. Im not that stupid.

After speaking her mind, Tong Yao opened the game and got into solo queue. Then she went to the kitchen to look for food in the refrigerator...Lu Sicheng turned his head back and from the corner of his eye he saw a stunned Old Cat. Old Cat opened his mouth wide and mouthed: Whats going on?

Lu Sicheng shook his head. He didnt know what had gotten into her head either-- --

Tong Yao spoke little for the rest of the night, especially to Lu Sicheng.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was like she had suddenly become allergic to him.

As Tong Yao was waiting for her game, she found gossip about Qing Dynastys jungler going on a date with a girl other than his girlfriend all over the internet. But the only evidence was a blurry picture of their backs-- --Some fans tried to defend him. They argued that the shirt Xu Tailun was wearing during the stream in the afternoon wasnt the same one as in the picture, therefore it couldnt have been Xu Tailun.

The guy really knew how to cover for himself.

Tong Yao sneered but didnt say anything. She turned on her stream and while she was still waiting to get into a game, she used her cell phone to check Tieba-- --One of the fans who saw her and Lu Sicheng at the movie theater in the afternoon had made a post saying that she had met Smiling and Chessman at Wantai Theatre around two oclock that afternoon.

The discussion underneath that post were all about why these two people would go to a movie together until the 30th reply. Someone suddenly asked a question-- --

[Wait, isnt that when Xu Tailun was supposedly at the movies? The background of that picture looks just like Wantai Theatre, the clock on the wall shows the exact time!]

Tong Yaos hand paused.

She put down the cell phone and looked back at her computer screen. Then she discovered that the bullet comments had already switched from casual conversation to a few fixed topics-- --

Half of her fans were asking why she and Lu Sicheng had gone to the movies all by themselves; the other half asked her whether she had seen Xu Tailun there.

I went to buy goldfish with Cheng Ge, afterwards we just went to the movie-- --Theres no rule that only a couple can go to the movies together. If theres really something going on between us, would we go to the movie hand in hand and wait for you guys to gossip about it? As for jungler of the other team, I dont know if he's watched a movie or not. There were a lot of people in the theatre, besides more came in after the lights had turned dark, like thieves sneaking in

Tong Yao paused and gave an ambiguous snicker: If you all want to know so badly, why dont you go ask him?

The bullet comments suddenly intensified. Many were asking what she meant by that, or why shed snickered, or whether she actually knew something...Tong Yao finally got into a new match, so she turned off the bullet comments so she could concentrate on her game, making the excuse that she didnt want to continue on the subject-- --

What she didnt know was that afterwards, someone who claimed to have earned a full score in language on the college entrance exam analyzed what she had said. After more scrutiny, her snicker was interpreted as proof of her accusation against Xu Tailun. She didnt know anything about it-- --

Or, to be exact, she didnt care even if she had known about it.
