According to the usual schedule of the S Series World Finals, basically every stage of the competition would be arranged in different countries and different cities.
This year, the S6 finals.
The finals were held in Pusan, South Korea.
The semifinals were held in Los Angeles, USA.
The quarter-finals would be held in Singapore.
Basically, the first round of the group stage could only be held in one of Taiwan, China, or Europe. It was not surprising that Europe would be the host of the group stage.
After all, last year's S5 finals were held in France and England.
So, it made sense that Lin Feng and Su Xue were looking at the venue of the S6 group stage.
England.
Last year it was London.
This year, it was a little unexpected that they had changed cities.
Compared to London, it was a city that was slightly more unfamiliar.
Manchester.
She'd already seen the host cities of the quarter-finals, semifinals, and even the finals, so the host cities of the first group stage didn't mean much to her. But when she saw these four eye-catching words, her smile froze on her face.
His mood …
Without anyone noticing, he sank to the bottom of the valley with a thud.
As a result, the originally relaxed and joyful atmosphere suddenly stiffened.
Lin Feng, who was sitting next to Su Xue, had been cheering along with her. But now, for some reason, his eyes fell on a line of text on his computer screen. His face suddenly fell silent. "Hehe, Su Xue," Lin Feng said.
Manchester, England.
This line of text seemed to have a strange and magical power.
It seemed like …
It could cause one's eyelids to twitch unconsciously, and their thoughts to be stretched infinitely far away. Countless complicated past events flashed past, and some fragments of memories were vaguely linked together.
Su Xue's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
His heart was thumping loudly.
The moment she reacted, she felt her scalp go numb. Her joyful mood from a second ago had been washed away as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. What was left was only a head full of vulgarities. "F * ck f * ck f * ck f * ck f * ck what's going on? Why is the group stage held at that place?"
The thoughts in her mind were instantly thrown into chaos, but Su Xue's reaction was still incredibly fast. She forcefully suppressed the anxiety in her heart and forced herself to squeeze out a smile.
"Ah, the group stage will be held in England."
"Seems like it's about the same as last year. Fist Inc's official planning team is really lacking in creativity hahaha —"
"Sigh, but Singapore and Los Angeles are still great places! Am I right, Lin Feng? "
The beaming smile on his face didn't seem any different from a second ago.
However, if one looked at it in detail …
However, one could sense the stiffness in his smile.
As if he was deliberately trying to change the topic, he pretended to ignore the specific name of the host city of this year's S6 Group Competition.
After completing all this, Su Xue's heart was beating wildly. She tried hard to make herself look natural, for fear of giving herself away. At the same time, she couldn't help but secretly look at the person in front of her.
This kid …
He probably didn't know what 'that place' represented, right?
Yes, yes, yes, he shouldn't know!
He definitely didn't know!
As if the heavens had heard Su Xue's prayers, Lin Feng paused for a moment, then nodded with an incomparably natural expression.
"Oh, right."
"As long as our luck isn't too bad in the first round, our three teams will definitely make it out of the group stage.
Next up is the quarterfinals and semifinals. You'll get a chance to travel to another country every time you get there. "
Lin Feng's tone was the same as before.
It was as if …
He really wasn't affected in the slightest by the words he'd just heard.
So he really didn't know!
Su Xue breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately put on a smile and said, "Yes, yes, yes! So now we'll have to count on our teams to perform well! Singapore, Los Angeles … I haven't been to any of those places yet! Hahahaha! "
Laughter filled the room once more.
It was as if the atmosphere had returned to normal.
… …
Even though it looked like they'd managed to avert a dangerous situation, Su Xue still felt a sense of pressure in her heart. She continued to chat with Lin Feng absentmindedly, as if she was worried about something.
It was already late at night. After chatting for a while longer, Lin Feng looked at the time.
"It's getting late."
"Why don't we call it a night?"
"You still have a stream tomorrow."
Su Xue nodded in agreement.
"Oh, right, right!"
"It's already so late. You should hurry up and get some rest. You've been busy all night. I'm sure you're tired. Go on, go on!"
She was also eager to have such a way out. Otherwise, she would have to continue chatting with a certain someone with such a burden in her heart. She was really afraid that she would accidentally spill the beans. At this moment, since a certain someone took the initiative to suggest it, of course, she was pleasantly surprised and readily agreed.
"Oh, okay."
Lin Feng nodded and stood up.
"I'll be heading back to my room then."
Su Xue watched as the bedroom door was opened and closed. She was finally the only one left in the room. She breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. Patting her chest, she slowly regained her strength.
That was close.
My acting just now was on point, right?
Lin Feng probably didn't notice anything amiss. If he knew the truth …
Su Xue's eyelids twitched.
Wouldn't things get out of hand again?
With that in mind, she subconsciously turned her head to look at the browser page on her computer screen. Her eyes fell on the text message of the venue of the S6 Group Competition. Her expression changed slightly.
(England.)
(Ah, Manchester …)
Su Xue's thoughts drifted slightly. Her original joy and relief were replaced by a tangled and complicated feeling once again.
Because …
That fairy-like girl …
It's probably that city on the other side of the ocean.
… …
Lin Feng returned to his room.
He kicked off his slippers.
He lay down on his Simmons bed and leaned against the soft pillow. Looking down at his feet, Lin Feng fell into a daze.
He was thinking about the scene in the bedroom next door just now.
He opened the browser.
The official League of Legends website.
The schedule for the S6 tournament.
The finals would be held in Busan, Korea; the semifinals would be held in Los Angeles, America; and the quarterfinals would be held in Singapore.
There was also the city where the first stage of the tournament would be held.
It was an ordinary line of text.
In fact …
There was also the slightly frozen expression on Su Xue's face, as well as the forced, stiff smile that she hurriedly forced out.
Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief.
Then …
He slowly closed his eyes.
The moment before he closed his eyes, there was a complicated light that seemed to flash in the depths of his pupils that was extremely difficult to detect.
"Mancher … Stella?"
He subconsciously muttered as if he was talking to himself.
What Su Xue didn't know was that the secret she was trying so hard to hide was actually …
He already knew.
He always knew.
