The competing team was Team HL this time.
…
The little thing was dressed up like a little mascot and she was brought downstage. She sat next to a substitute player and there were many HL fans around them.
Before the game started, all the players from different teams had to stand on stage like a fashion show.
It wasn’t too loud when the first few teams walked on, but the crowd’s passion reached the peak when Team HL walked on.
The fans’ excited screams almost made the others turn deaf.
It was undeniable that no matter how low Team HL was in their career, they were still the memories and beliefs of a generation.
The little thing had earplugs in her ears and because she was sitting at the front, she could see everything clearly.
When Su Ye and his team walked in front of the stage, Ye Sang clearly saw the man’s eyes land on her for a few seconds.
Then he looked away indifferently.
His actions made all the fans sitting next to Ye Sang excited.
“Ahhhh, God Su looked at me, he looked at me.”
The person who was in charge of looking after the child twitched his lips.
He thought.
Did you really think God Su was looking at you?
Her friend on the side mercilessly said, “How did you know he was looking at you? Maybe God Su was just glancing around?”
The girl covered her ears, “I’m not listening, he was looking at me!!”
Never try to wake someone who was fangirling over her idol up.
Her good friend obviously had too much experience with this.
“I don’t know what there is watch about HL.”
They were so ridiculously popular, it was confusing.
The little girl watched the people on stage with bright eyes, “You don’t understand. They are our aspiration.”
Her good friend looked at her in silence as if she was looking at a mental person.
“Hey little friend, are you here to watch God Su’s game too?” The little girl’s glance fell on Ye Sang. She didn’t know the substitute player next to her as she didn’t know everyone in HL, so she thought that the parent brought her alone.
Ye Sang nodded obediently.
“Is God Su handsome?” She cupped her face and asked with expectation.
The little girl nodded, “He is.”
Her daddy looked the best.
“Such a good girl!” The girl was amused and happily kissed her cheeks, “I love honest little girls like you.”
Ye Sang froze at the kiss and turned around, diving into the substitute’s arms shyly.
And the girl thought she was adorable.
The first half of the game was normal, HL almost wrecked DIO. But because of Su Ye’s “mistake”, they were aced and lost.
The fans and his team thought that it was a simple mistake and didn’t pay too much attention to it.
Until the second half of the game. Su Ye started making more and more “mistakes”. They could’ve won it without giving the opposite team a single kill yet they dragged it to late game.
“Su Ye, what’s wrong with you?” Not only the fans, even the coach and his team discovered that something wasn’t right now.
The coach almost verbally attacked him, “That last wave, was it that difficult to get to the back row and kill those two with low HP?”
Wasn’t it basic?
Su Ye was obviously acting on the surface.
It was rare that the coach would start attacking him when the game was still on, and he didn’t even care that his teammates were still competing.
Ye Li heard everything clearly through the earphones.
His lashes trembled. No one could stay calm when they learn that Su Ye was acting at a time like this.
When he was spacing out, he made an obvious mistake and the other team caught it.
In a short few seconds, two out of five people died.
They could only defend their base in a three versus five.
But now, the team’s thoughts were clearly not focused on the game. Xiao Fei’s support even sat in a bush without moving, and when the other team’s dragon gave them vision, he got one shot without a chance to fight back.
There was no surprise that they lost.
The commentators on the stage were shocked by the scene in front of their eyes as their base was destroyed without a chance to fight back.
The crowd was in an uproar.
“This…” The commentator stared at HL’s direction, unable to speak.
The other commentator on the side quickly reacted and fixed it, “Let us congratulate DIO.”
It was a shame that no one cheered.
“Is HL acting?”
“Even I can tell. God Su started it…”
Someone argued back, “Perhaps God Su isn’t in a good state…”
Her voice and weak and small without much confidence.
They tried to explain for HL but suspicions crushed down on them. Eventually, people started questioning the coach.
“Is HL so broke that they need to fake games?”
“Why do you treat us like we are idiots?”
“God Su, how could you face the fans who have been supporting you from the beginning?”
Someone muttered in disbelief, “What’s wrong with you all? Ye Li too? and Xiao Fei, how could you betray our trust?”
Ye Li looked at all the fans with LED banners and opened his mouth. He wanted to explain but nothing came out.
All the teammates looked at Su Ye and waited for an explanation.
They didn’t say it was because God Su was in a bad state.
Even if he really faked the game, no one wanted to push the blame on him.
Su Ye looked at his teammates’ eyes and looked away expressionlessly. He took off his headphones and spoke in a clear voice:
“Yes.”
“I was throwing.”
“It has nothing to do with them.”
“The coach didn’t lower his voice and my team exploded after listening to it.”
He almost looked as if he haven’t said enough, he smiled and added, “Ah, it’s nothing even if they didn’t explode.”
“We wouldn’t have won this game anyways.”
“We are just making the final struggle.”
Then, Su Ye smiled lightly and put a hand in his pocket as he left the stage lazily without hesitation.
No one noticed that when the man walked away, he paused slightly and glanced downstage.
“Daddy…” The little thing paused mid-bite on her cheese stick and looked confused as she watched Su Ye leave.
Ye Sang walked to follow him, and the little girl who was giving her the cheese stick also looked soulless.
No one thought that Su Ye would do that. His fans couldn’t accept it.
“Ye Li…” The girl froze slightly when she watched Ye Li walked over in his uniform.
She watched him pick up the little thing and whispered, “Let’s leave first.”
The little girl nodded obediently as she knew that they weren’t in a good mood.
She stood up and spread her arms, giving Ye Li a warm hug.
