October 26th. The weather was fine.
At noon in Madrid, the first match of the quarter-finals was about to begin. It was between GRF and IG.
Since SKT's match was the next day, SKT did not have to go to the stadium. They had already eaten and gathered in a hotel room to watch the match.
The hotel room was not big. Everyone squeezed two beds together. The six of them, including the coach, were curled up on the bed.
Teddy and Effort were at the bottom of the bed. Haru and Mata were lying on top of each other, using their phones as pillows.
Jin Zhengxun and Clid each occupied a corner, sitting cross-legged and playing with their phones.
"Li Jiu, come sit on the bed. There's still room if you squeeze."
Teddy turned his head and poked Li Jiu, who was sitting on the floor beside him. He tried his best to twist his body, but he was pinned down by Haru.
"Hehe! I'm fine here. I won't squeeze with you guys. "
Li Jiu sat on the floor beside the bed, playing with his phone. Brother Li sat on the only chair on the other side of the bed, reading a book.
Luckily, the floor was made of wood, so their buttocks did not feel cold.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Li Jiu got up and opened the door. Cui Jingyan walked in with a big bag of drinks and snacks. She was speechless when she saw everyone's appearance.
"Why are you all squeezed in the same room?"
"It's a match. Of course, it's more fun when everyone is together."
Li Jiu took the bag and was about to call everyone over to share the loot when Cui Jingyan took out her phone. "Don't move. I'll take a picture of you guys and send it to SNS. Li Jiu, you sit over there."
"Oh, make me look handsome in the picture."
Li Jiu sat on the floor beside her and looked in Cui Jingyan's direction.
"It's done."
"Let me see."
Li Jiu quickly got up and looked at Cui Jingyan's phone screen.
Tsk tsk! This group of people's appearance was quite interesting.
Teddy pulled the blanket and was pinned down by Haru. He looked like a shy little wife.
Clid was still rubbing his feet.
Why was Mata's butt so high up?
The coach was still handsome. Even if he was playing with his phone, he still looked elegant.
Hmm ~ ~ ~
Brother Li's pretentious manner of reading with his head lowered was simply like the reincarnation of the Act Tough King.
Li Jiu had a smile on his face as he commented in his mind. However, when he saw his own silhouette at the corner of the picture, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
Other than Gua Pi, who was reading a book, everyone else was playing with their phones. They looked like they did not care about the camera at all. Only Li Jiu sat on the floor alone. He supported himself with both hands and leaned forward, looking at the camera eagerly.
As for Cui Jingyan, in order to capture Brother Li on the other side, half of Li Xu's body was not in the frame.
His gaze, posture, other people sitting on the bed while he was sitting on the floor, and even only half of his body could be seen on camera. It inexplicably highlighted a sense of desolation.
Li Jiu looked at the photo and felt a little sad for himself.
Needless to say, Li Jiu would definitely be played to death when this picture was posted online.
"Look! That person looks like a dog. "
"Shocking! Li Xu was ostracized by the entire barbeque stall. He could only sit on the floor.
[SKT's food chain revealed, and he's at the bottom!]
[Behind the frenzied killing, there's a yearning for love in his eyes. Into Li Xu's inner world.]
[Behind Li Xu's arrogance, there's a sadness of alienation.]
Just the thought of it was enough to send chills down one's spine.
Cui Jingyan looked at Li Xu's defeated expression and held back her laughter. "How is it? Don't you look handsome in the photo? "
"Hehe!"
As expected, before the photo was posted online, when Cui Jingyan shared the photo in the group chat, it attracted a lot of ridicule from Gua Pi.
Teddy: "Li Xu, you look like you're yearning for love."
Clid: "That look in your eyes is very spiritual."
Jin Zhengxun also joined in the fun. "Li Xu, your legs look so short in this position. Do you want Assistant Cui to help you lengthen your legs before posting it online?"
Haru: "Sigh! Really, if the coach didn't mention it, I wouldn't have noticed. From this angle, Li Xu looks short. "
Teddy: "Hehe! I'll help Li Xu lengthen his legs. "
"Up to you guys. That's just a matter of angle. Who doesn't know that Brother Xu has long legs? I don't care about that. "
Li Jiu angrily took out a bottle of bright-colored drink and sat down on the spot.
"Wow, this is good. It's much better than Coke."
Cui Jingyan distributed the drinks and snacks in the bag to everyone and sat down next to Li Xu. She patted Li Xu's shoulder to comfort him. "Even though the photo is a bit weird, at least it looks like you're living seriously. Your eyes are sincere. It's very touching."
Brother Li, who was stuffing chips into his mouth, suddenly said, "In this world, living seriously isn't important."
Cui Jingyan burst out laughing. Li Xu glanced at her expressionlessly.
"Nah, your comforting words are useless."
"Sorry, I couldn't help it."
Cui Jingyan turned to look at the TV screen on the opposite wall. She listened to Teddy and Haru's heated discussion about Li Xu's photoshop, but there was a smile on her face.
On the TV, the players from both teams had entered the stage. Then, the promotional video for the elimination round was played.
"Brother Li, why do you always have a poker face when you're filming the promotional video?"
"Watch carefully, don't talk too much."
"Hey! Who do you think will win today? "
"Do you want to make a prediction? I'll treat the wrong person to dinner tonight. "
"I'm not doing it. You guys tricked me like this last time. Even though I was right, I still treated you guys to supper."
"I think IG should be able to qualify. We've fought GRF so many times. When have they ever stood up in a best-of-five?"
"Agreed. GRF lost their minds when they played best-of-five. DWG seems to be the same. Don't count on them."
It was none of their business. The people at the barbecue stall were intensely predicting the results of the competition, guessing who would qualify today.
Teddy, who was playing with his phone, suddenly said, "Li Xu, do you really not care about your legs being short?"
"Hmm?"
"Go look at my INS. I've photoshopped your legs a little longer. Look at the comments below."
Li Xu took out his phone and was about to open his INS when laughter came from behind him.
"Pfft."
Cui Jingyan, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, also laughed. She held her phone in her hand and bent down. She looked like she was laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe.
"Hey, don't be like this. I'm a little scared."
Li Xu found Teddy's INS page. The newly uploaded photo showed that Teddy had indeed photoshopped Li Xu's legs a little longer than in the previous photo.
However, even so, the first comment was:
Why do Li Xu's legs look so short? Why didn't you make his photoshop longer?
F * ck! Is there something wrong with your eyesight?
It's obviously photoshopped. It's obviously an angle problem, okay?
Li Xu's face darkened.
