For Tang Bingyao, when she received Lin Feng's text at noon, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She was afraid that Lin Feng would ask her about Steamed Bun again.
After reading the message, she felt as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. It was only about the Golden Spear Cup. After hesitating for a moment, she gave a definite answer.
Because...
Even though she felt uneasy, she knew that if she acted out of character and refused to go, it would make it easier for Lin Feng to guess and suspect her.
On the way here, she had a lot on her mind. She was constantly thinking about how to react when she saw Lin Feng and how to hide her emotions. She couldn't reveal too many flaws.
After all...
Today was different from yesterday.
Before today, she only needed to hide the part of the secret she knew about Steamed Bun being hospitalized. But after last night... she found out from Su Xue that her best friend on the other side of the ocean was suffering from an unexpected and urgent illness. This meant that the secret she needed to keep suddenly became much heavier.
Now, she couldn't let Lin Feng know all of this.
The burden of responsibility on her body became even heavier.
Fortunately, after seeing Lin Feng in the arena, Lin Feng's attitude seemed to be incomparably relaxed. It was as if he had forgotten about their conversation in the wonton shop the night before. The girl was slightly startled and at a loss, but at the same time, she finally let out a sigh of relief. This situation was naturally the most ideal.
However...
Compared to Tang Bingyao, who was a bit more relaxed, Lin Feng was actually in a different mood at this moment.
He drank the milk tea that Tang Bingyao bought for him with a look of relish. He casually chatted with Tang Bingyao, but in the details that Tang Bingyao didn't notice, Lin Feng's eyes seemed a bit dull.
You can see it...
Tang Tang's quiet expression of relief.
But just like before, he didn't plan on getting to the bottom of things.
Because since he already had the idea that it didn't matter if it was hidden from him and he would personally see the truth, many things didn't need to become so complicated.
Perhaps everyone had their own difficulties.
It was understandable.
Moreover, he had already made his own preparations to deal with it.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to cause more trouble for the people around him. There was nothing wrong with maintaining this kind of harmony on the surface.
But …
While chatting with Tang Bingyao, Lin Feng's gaze swept across the arena. He frowned when he didn't see any familiar faces in the crowd.
Still not here …
Thus, he could not help but feel a little irritated. The attentive girl in front of him noticed a certain someone's frown and showed concern.
"Lin Feng, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
A certain someone's expression soon returned to normal, and he smiled.
"No, I'm looking for someone."
Looking for someone?
The girl was a bit confused. Lin Feng didn't try to hide anything. "I have an appointment with Chu Li. He said he would come over in a moment."
He paused for a moment and added nonchalantly, "There's something I want to give him."
He didn't explain further.
"Oh," Tang Bingyao replied obediently. It wasn't something worth taking to heart, but when her gaze fell on a certain someone's face and saw his calm expression, the girl subconsciously felt a faint sense of unease.
It was as if...
What was going on? She seemed to be kept in the dark.
…
There were more and more people in the arena.
The clamor of the crowd made the atmosphere livelier and livelier.
Looking around, it seemed that all the high school teams that had participated in the previous rounds of the Golden Spear Cup had members here. Although they had been eliminated, they had come as spectators, so they could sit in the audience and feel a little more relaxed.
In particular, today's semifinals were already very exciting.
First, a set of 'best-of-three' matches would be held between Tongji and Fudan, the two veteran teams in Shanghai. It would be difficult to predict the outcome of the match, but it was certain that the confrontation between these two teams would definitely produce quite intense and exciting sparks.
Many of the high school players who found seats in the audience had already begun to discuss excitedly, guessing who would be the first to advance in this set of 'best-of-three' matches.
There were more people supporting Fudan. After all, it was recognized as the strongest high school team in Shanghai. Moreover, the captain of the mid laner, Qiu Yijie, had already faintly surpassed the strength of ordinary high school players. It was very likely that he would directly transfer to the professional scene in the S7 season.
Of course, there were also many supporters of Tongji University. So, the supporters of both sides had their own camps, fiercely debating with each other.
However …
The other set of today's semifinals was more interesting.
Shang Cai.
Versus Shang Cai.
If it was before this year's Golden Spear Cup, the reputation of Shang Cai University team was not very famous in the Shanghai high school esports circle. Whether it was their strength or previous results, they could only be ranked in the middle or lower reaches. At most, people had a slight impression that the president of Shang Cai University's esports club, Dou something, seemed to be good at jungling …
But compared to Shang Cai University, they were definitely overshadowed by the latter.
However …
After the first few rounds of the competition, the reputation of Shang Cai University team had suddenly become completely famous in the circle.
It had even surpassed the concept of a 'dark horse'.
It was simply … deafening.
Of course, this adjective was not actually referring to the entire Shang Cai University team. Although this year's Shang Cai University team had a stunningly beautiful jungling girl … She seemed to be an international student from Japan. She was so strong that she had pushed the team's original core jungling captain, Dou Zi, to another position. But if it was just this new jungling girl, it would not be enough to attract the attention of everyone in the Shanghai high school circle.
The focus was on the core.
It just fell on one person.
Lin Feng.
At the mention of this name, the eyes of quite a number of team members from other universities in the spectator area lit up. They poured out all their saliva to the other students beside them, and even to the new audience members who were new to the arena. They talked about a certain person's amazing deeds in one breath.
"The last Golden Spear Cup!"
"No, even more amazing was last year's National High School League!"
"You know the representative team of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association, right?"
"… Killed them all! Yes, yes, yes, almost all the top high school teams in the country, and even the other two representative teams of the Guangzhou and Beijing Telecommunications Association, all of them were defeated … It was like cutting melons and vegetables! "
"That one-handed skill is so heaven-defying, there's no way to counter it!"
Some of the new audience members who had not heard of a certain person's glorious deeds were fooled into a daze, but more of the older audience members who had heard of or even witnessed these deeds with their own eyes nodded repeatedly, showing great agreement.
Of course, if it was just purely emphasizing the current strength of the Shang Cai University team, it might not be enough to form a considerable gimmick.
Just like in a crosstalk, there were people in charge of teasing the male lead, and there were people in charge of supporting the male lead.
There still needed to be someone to cooperate.
This time, the team in charge of cooperating with the Shang Cai University team was the Shang Cai University team.
It was equivalent to …
The perfect and ideal candidate.
"Do you know about the conflict between the captain of the Shang Cai University team, Zou Siyuan, and Guru Lin Feng in the quarterfinals last time?" An audience member who was present at the quarterfinals last time mysteriously peddled the news to the other newcomers. "I heard it's because of a very beautiful girl!"
Oh —
The group of people exclaimed.
The audience member who knew the truth waved his hand heroically. "It's said that heroes have a weakness for a beautiful woman. This time … it's time to see Guru Lin Feng fly into a rage for a beautiful woman!"
