Chapter 34
Zhou Jiajia: “The most important part of seeing a live match is the atmosphere! Look, so many people cheering and shouting with us doesn’t it make you feel excited? Thrilled?
After entering the spectator stands, Zhou Jiajia was busy looking around excitedly while taking every spare second to teach her old classmate the ropes of live events. She waved her banner vigorously, letting out a wild, primitive shout: Ooh—!
The young girls around them noticed the pink heart antennae on her head and immediately treated her like a kindred spirit. Even across several rows, they began exhausting their lungs to greet each other.
Lin Muxue silently raised her light-up board, using it like a folding fan to shield her face from the eyes down. She felt utterly out of place, a victim of “cringe to the center of the earth.”
Fortunately, Zhou Jiajia was a rare and precious friend. Seeing Lin Muxue’s “cautious and shy” demeanor, she proactively dragged her into the inner circle of DM Team fans.
“My friend is a DM fan, but she likes Chuchu more!”
Oh, really? Me too, me too!
As long as you support DM, we’re all brothers and sisters from different mothers! Sister, want to scan WeChat and add each other?
By the time the match was about to start and everyone’s attention shifted to the team members appearing on stage, Lin Muxue had already lost count of how many group photos she had been pulled into. Her WeChat now had a new category with thirty or forty new contacts.
She nervously adjusted the fluffy, glowing neon cat ears that had been squeezed by countless hands and let out a sigh of relief. Just as she prepared to focus on the stage, Zhou Jiajia leaned over with a lewd, tiny smirk. Hehe, quite popular, aren’t you, old classmate? It seems your charm hasn’t faded. Neither boys nor girls can resist your School Beauty’ aura!
Lin Muxue found a moment to shoot her a skeptical glare. This was clearly a massive family reunion for fans, yet her friend made it sound like she had just survived a massive blind-dating event.
Soon, the deafening game audio inside the venue made it impossible to whisper. Following the host’s witty introductions, the members of both teams took the stage.
As a certified esports amateur, Lin Muxue naturally focused on the DM Team. Firstly, because they were the national team, and secondly, because they were the only ones she knew thanks to that brief encounter at the hotel.
Perhaps it was the homeland filter at work, but Lin Muxue felt that between the two teams standing opposite each other, the five starters for DM definitely looked better and had a different energy about them. Compared to the five players from South Korea’s PP Team, the DM players (aside from A-Du and Chuchu) were just “decently handsome, but under the stage lights, they seemed to glow with a superior presence in both height and physique.
Zhou Jiajia leaned in and shouted over the cheers to educate her: Look at that! Isn’t our team full of handsome guys and a beautiful girl? Haha, we aren’t called a ‘Star Team’ for nothing!
She cupped her hands around her mouth and let out several howls, grabbing Lin Muxue’s hand which was still holding the light board and waving it high in the air. She was clearly working hard to drag Lin Muxue into the live excitement.
At first, Lin Muxue found it noisy, but once the players took their seats and the match officially began, even an outsider like her couldn’t look away. What was essentially a tower-defense game was played out with the complexity of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, with various tactics clashing to create breathtaking thrills.
Opportunities were fleeting, and the players needed to maintain a perfect telepathy to seize that split second.
After three rounds, the DM Team won their home game without suspense. The match featured both high-pressure “desperate survival” comebacks and total steamrolls from the start.
By the time it ended, Lin Muxue realized time had flown by. While feeling a bit unsatisfied that it was over, she was deeply impressed by Chuchu’s playstyle a mix of fierce and gentle, wild yet stable.
Apparently, she wasn’t the only one who thought so. Even Zhou Jiajia, who had been strictly an A-Du fan before arriving, couldn’t stop gushing on the way out: Chuchu is seriously amazing! There are so few female pros in the esports circle, let alone one like Chuchu who has the looks, the personality, the skills, and the god-tier awareness!
Lin Muxue nodded slightly, thinking to herself: My old classmate finally opened her eyes.
The DM members, having finished the match, finally let out a breath. No matter how many matches they participated in or how steady as an old dog they appeared on stage, they were always wound tight inside. Now, they could finally relax.
The players reclaimed their phones and began chattering about how to spend their one free day in A City tomorrow.
When Chu Meng snapped a photo of the night view at Fireworks Square to share with Lin Muxue, Lin Muxue and Zhou Jiajia had already checked out of the hotel and headed to a natural scenic area near A City to climb mountains and eat local delicacies.
The night wind on the mountain was a bit chilly. Lin Muxue sat alone by the campsite on a large, smooth rock, sipping mineral water while looking at the stars. Her phone was beside her; she had wanted to take a photo to share with her “cute netizen” who was finally finished with work, but realized after snapping it that not all beauty can be captured by a lens. She lost interest in sharing.
Just as a rare sense of loneliness began to creep in, her phone vibrated. She looked down to see a message from the cute netizen.
She tapped it, and a screen full of fireworks exploded into brilliant sparks. Accompanied by the audio, a soft, laughing voice said: Axue, watch the fireworks with me.
The voice seemed softened by the night, sounding exceptionally tender. It was a short, six-second video.
The loneliness she had just felt dissipated like mist touching sunlight. Lin Muxue watched it several times, then walked over to the guardrail at the mid-mountain campsite. She pointed her phone toward the mountain road below, where the streetlights wound up the mountain like a trail of light, and filmed for a few seconds before sending it back.
Zhao Mu Cheng Xue: Look, the stars fell down.
Chu Meng, who was about to go to the snack street for skewers with the others after the fireworks, couldn’t help but laugh out loud when she saw it.
Sweet-Flavored Orange Meow: Oh my, so many? Hurry and go pick one up for me!
She expected the other person to say something serious like I can’t reach them, but this time, the reply came quickly: Received. Going now.
A moment later, a photo arrived. It showed a fair, open palm with simple, clear lines a single palm crease running across.
And resting quietly in the center of that palm was a star, woven out of some unknown material.
