Chapter 220 A Little Excited

【Front row, front row! 】

【After waiting for so long, it’s finally here! 】

【IG, come on! 】

[When will Brother Yu appear at the opening ceremony? ]

[Should be soon? ]

[The MV was released last month, and I waited for a whole month but still couldn’t get the studio version. I really don’t know what Brother Yu is doing. ]

[I heard from Brother Shuizi that Brother Yu plans to wait until the game is over before releasing it. After all, this is a collaboration with Riot, not a buyout by Riot, and Riot has no say on the release time.]

【So that’s it…】

Looking at the comments on her phone discussing Zhao Yu, Li Qingwan, who was sitting in the front row, smiled. She could already imagine that after this incident, Zhao Yu’s popularity would rise to a new level.

“Should we ask Brother Yu to pay more attention to his fans on YouTube? Maybe there will be a chance to attract this group of Europeans and Americans in the future.” While muttering to herself, Li Qingwan glanced at the foreigners beside her.

But the occasional cheers for the G2 team made her give up the idea.

Under the influence of Zhao Yu, IG successfully advanced to the finals and once again faced off against its old rival G2.

As a good friend of A Shui, it is still a bit difficult to attract this group of European and American fans.

She had followed the competition from the preliminary round to the final, and she knew very well how much expectations these European and American people had for the local team that had the greatest chance of winning the championship.

“But if it’s SKT, they may not have much chance, as for G2…” Li Qingwan shook her head.

Maybe this group of people will go home disappointed today. Other teams like IG are relatively difficult to beat, but G2, which is almost as reckless as it, is basically restrained by attributes.

In addition, there are now players loaned from FPX to make up for the shortcomings, and no Chinese person believes that G2 has a hope of winning.

“When will Yujun come out?” Youhua asked curiously as she looked at the countdown on the big screen in front of her.

“I don’t know. He went backstage very early today and I didn’t dare to ask him.” Li Qingwan said.

“We have to come out anyway, so just wait and see.” Shiori Nanamiya frowned. It was her first time in such an environment and she was a little uncomfortable with it. It was too noisy.

“Shiori, are you not feeling well? You look so bad.” Yuka also noticed that something was wrong with Shiori Nanamiya and spoke with concern.

“It’s okay, there are just too many people. I don’t like crowded places…” said Shiori Nanamiya.

“I shouldn’t have let you come here. It would be better to watch it at home.” Li Qingwan sighed.

Yuka and Nanamiya Shiori did not participate in other competitions, except for the final, which had Zhao Yu’s performance, so they took leave and went to watch it.

Li Qingwan, who brought them to the scene, did not expect that Nanamiya Shiori was actually a girl who did not like being in crowded places.

“Xiaowan, do you mean to leave me alone in Neon?” Nanamiya Shiori looked at Li Qingwan. Although her face was still expressionless, her eyes were full of oppression.

Li Qingwan felt a chill on her back. From that day on, Nanamiya Shiori no longer concealed her feelings and would stick to Li Qingwan almost wherever they went.

Li Qingwan also happily enjoyed Shiori Nanamiya’s meticulous care for a while, but the problem that followed was… she was completely controlled by Shiori Nanamiya.

Li Qingwan didn’t know who she learned this from. She always asked some extremely tricky and deathly questions. Look… Li Qingwan’s words just now were a perfect mistake.

“Ah, that’s not what I meant. Please listen to my explanation!” Li Qingwan waved her hands in panic.

“Old rules.” Shiori Nanamiya raised her eyebrows.

“Sister Shiori, I was wrong…” Li Qingwan obediently moved her head closer to Nanamiya Shiori, with a flattering look on her face.

“Pat the head~” Shiori Nanamiya stretched out her hand and began to rub Li Qingwan’s hair unscrupulously.

“Damn it, why is it completely different from what I imagined…” Li Qingwan lowered her head and complained in a low voice.

She has played a lot of galgames, in which girls like Nanamiya Shiori would become loyal girlfriends after being conquered, and would show shyness in front of the protagonist.

But it seemed that Shiori Nanamiya hadn’t changed at all, and she even bullied him more easily than before.

Hearing Li Qingwan’s whisper, Qigong Shizhi showed an obvious smile on her face. This is probably a real idiot, right? Even if she has the initiative, she still can’t turn the tables.

“It’s started, it’s started!” Yuka’s voice came at this time, and the two quickly turned their eyes to the stage.

The countdown finally ended, and the logos of the two finalist teams and photos of their members appeared on the screens on both sides.

“It’s Jack-kun. He looks quite handsome.” Yuka pointed at Ashui’s photo and praised him.

“Come on IG!” Li Qingwan shouted excitedly to cheer for IG.

Then Valerie Broussard took the stage first and sang the s9 season promotional song “Awaken”, which immediately livened up the atmosphere.

After the song ended, several animated images of League of Legends characters suddenly appeared on the screen. These were the virtual idol band True Damage, which was recently launched by Riot. They brought the global debut of their new song “Giants”.

As the singer sang, holographic images of several heroes began to dance on the stage, making Yuka excited.

“It’s just like Miku-chan’s concert, so cool!”

Yuka has only seen this kind of technology at Hatsune Miku’s concert, but she has only watched it online and has never experienced it live. This performance can be said to have brought her a great shock.

Not only Yuka, but also Li Qingwan and Nanamiya Shiori were attracted and watched the performance on the stage intently.

Nanamiya Shiori, who just felt it was a bit noisy, suddenly understood why Li Qingwan always came to the scene to watch the game. Only by being there could she experience this incomparable feeling.

After their performance was over, everyone was still feeling a little unsatisfied. Then all the lights on the stage went out, and countless ice spread, freezing the big screen in front of them.

Zhao Yu’s voice slowly sounded in the accompaniment, and Youhua excitedly shook Li Qingwan’s arm: “It’s Yujun, he’s out!”

“It’s actually the finale. Tencent Esports is really generous…” Li Qingwan was also a little surprised.

She then realized that if the previous two performances were just warm-ups, then Zhao Yu’s appearance at the end served to bring the entire scene to a climax.

But can Zhao Yu really do it? If I remember correctly, from becoming famous to now, he has never held a concert, and his main focus is online music.

The only decent live performance I had was when I was performing on a TV show. How can the studio compare to a live performance with so many people watching?
Thinking of this, Li Qingwan, who had just been happy for Zhao Yu, began to feel a little worried.

Swish! A beam of light hit the center of the stage, and Zhao Yu appeared. He was dressed very formally today, and his hairstyle was specially redesigned. He sat handsomely on the steps prepared for the stage.

“so hot!”

“Who is this singer? How come I have never seen him before?”

“It should be a newcomer from the Korean side, right? Wasn’t KDA also someone they hired before?”

A few foreigners were discussing in English, which caused dissatisfaction among the Chinese audience who came specially for the event.

“What Korean? This is our Chinese singer! Brother Yu! Look here!!!” The Chinese audience said while waving to Zhao Yu.

The stage is not soundproof like the gaming booths of professional players, so Zhao Yu could certainly hear the audience’s call.

He looked up, smiled at the audience, and gave a thumbs up.

The camera captured Zhao Yu’s movements and expressions, and immediately gave a close-up, and then…

“Oh!!!”

The audience seats were immediately in an uproar, and countless audience members who knew Zhao Yu began to raise their hands to cheer.

“Oh my god! He looks so cute when he smiles!” A female audience member from Europe and America was a little excited and used the word “so cute”. “Is he Chinese? I thought only Koreans could have such idols.”

“His voice is also very nice. How come I have never heard of him before?”

“I’m studying abroad in Japan, and he’s very famous on the Internet there recently!”

“Is that so? I wonder if he has a girlfriend…”

The discussion began to shift from Zhao Yu’s appearance and singing to strange things, which made Youhua a little jealous.

“Sure enough, we should get married sooner.” Youhua muttered softly, and when she looked up, she saw Zhao Yu’s gaze on her.

At this time, Zhao Yu was singing while walking down the stairs, and he saw Youhua in the front row at a glance.

Then, while making eye contact with Yuka, he winked at her quietly.

“He seems to be flirting with me?”

“You’re obviously being nice to me?”

The two girls behind Yuka screamed and started arguing, but Yuka was not as jealous as before.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao Yu’s behavior made Youhua feel extremely excited, as if he was flirting with her without telling anyone.

“I haven’t forgotten to pay attention to you even at this time. Watching Brother Yu’s performance is secondary. Showing affection with you is the main purpose, right?”

Seeing Zhao Yu’s calm and composed look while still flirting with Youhua, Li Qingwan finally felt relieved and couldn’t help but complain.

“Don’t talk nonsense…” Yuka retorted with a blushing face.

Zhao Yu’s voice became more and more passionate, completely boosting the atmosphere of the finals.

As he sang, the trophy representing the highest honor of the League of Legends slowly rose from the center of the stage. Two teams appeared from both sides of the stage, and Zhao Yu’s figure disappeared, as if he had hidden his merits and fame.

The host began to introduce the two teams, and Li Qingwan, Yuka and Nanamiya Shiori began to discuss Zhao Yu’s performance.

“Do you think Brother Yu has been hiding from us that he was a celebrity in the past? How come he isn’t stage-frightened at all?”

“If Zhao Yu had been a celebrity, would you not know it? You are a Chinese like him.” said Shiori Nanamiya.

“Yes, then is it possible that he is the reincarnation of a big star? Otherwise, how could he be so skilled in singing and stage performance?” Li Qingwan made another hypothesis.

“Xiao Wan, you should read less Chinese novels. How can there be such a thing as rebirth?” Youhua said helplessly.

Just like Youhua and the others who like to read girls’ comics, Li Qingwan likes to read some female novels besides anime. She even recommended them to the other two many times, but they really couldn’t get the excitement of Chinese novels and never accepted this recommendation.

“Who says Brother Yu is like the protagonist of a reborn novel? I haven’t seen him fail yet.” Li Qingwan said.

“Is it possible that I am gifted?” Suddenly, Zhao Yu’s voice sounded behind them.

“Yujun!” Youhua immediately threw herself into Zhao Yu’s arms.

“You did a great job today!” As she said this, Youhua kissed Zhao Yu on the face.

She glanced at the two European and American girls who had just been discussing Zhao Yu behind her. After seeing the disappointment on their faces, she hugged Zhao Yu even more unscrupulously.

Did you see that? He wasn’t flirting with you guys, he was always flirting with me…

“This is why I always wanted Youhua to come.” Zhao Yu kissed Youhua on the forehead.

“If you weren’t here, I would be extremely nervous today. With you here, I would want to not let you down, so I acted so perfectly.”

“That’s what I told you. You kept looking at Youhua.” Li Qingwan complained.

Hearing her words, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Li Qingwan’s unintentional teasing almost made him guess his true situation.

“The game is about to begin.” Shiori Nanamiya spoke as she looked at the big screen showing the bp scene on the stage.

Finally, they reacted and quickly returned to their seats. Zhao Yu also sat next to Youhua.

“IG’s attack is very fierce! Xiaotian is coming in! Jackeylove is following closely behind!”

“This time theshy once again demonstrated his dominance as a world-class top laner!”

“G2 has already started their last desperate fight, but unfortunately they are still one step behind…”

“Let us congratulate IG for winning their second championship!”

As the commentator announced, countless spectators stood up and cheered excitedly. This time, IG once again proved their strength.

“I knew it! I knew it!!” Li Qingwan hugged Nanamiya Shiori and kissed her on the face excitedly.

“Xiao, Xiaowan?” Nanamiya Shiori stood there in a daze, touching the cheek that had just been attacked, and looked at Li Qingwan in disbelief.

“Well… I was just a little excited just now, don’t think too much about it!” Li Qingwan’s face suddenly turned red and she hurriedly explained.

But Shiori Nanamiya shook her head, glanced at Zhao Yu and Youhua who were still cheering for IG, and then looked at Li Qingwan whose face was blushing.

She reached out and gently held Li Qingwan’s hand, slowly moving closer to her…

Li Qingwan felt that the cheers beside her suddenly became smaller and smaller, as if the two of them were separated out at this moment, and the atmosphere gradually became a little wrong.

“Next, please invite this time’s MVP, jackeylove, to the stage for an interview!” said the host.

The audience burst into cheers again, and A Shui came onto the stage with everyone’s support.

“Winning the championship this time feels like a dream. I never thought I could stand on this stage a second time, but I did it.” A Shui picked up the microphone and spoke.

“I have come this far thanks to the support of my fans, and I am glad that I did not break my promise.”

As he spoke, A Shui looked at Zhao Yu in the front row and raised his fist to Zhao Yu.

“I did what I promised you.”

In an instant, the light shone on Zhao Yu and Youhua, and also brought Shiori Nanamiya, who was gradually approaching Li Qingwan, back to her senses. She glanced at Li Qingwan, who had closed her eyes at some point, and let go of her hand.

“Huh?” The imagined scene did not appear. Li Qingwan opened her eyes in confusion, but saw that the audience around her had stopped cheering and were looking at her.

Wait? What’s going on? Li Qingwan was startled and quickly turned her head to pretend nothing happened. Then she saw Zhao Yu and Youhua under the spotlight.

Huh…it turns out he wasn’t looking at us. Li Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Nanamiya Shiori.

Shiori was just preparing to… Really, couldn’t Ah Shui come out later? For the first time, Li Qingwan complained about Ah Shui.

“It seems that there is an interesting story about player jackeylove. Can you tell it to us?” said the host.

“Before I start, I would like to let my brother and his fiancée come on stage first, is that okay?” A Shui asked.

“No problem, you are the champion, and everything can go according to your ideas today.” The host nodded.

A Shui didn’t say anything else and looked at Zhao Yu again.

“Let’s go and see what A Shui is going to do.” Zhao Yu held Youhua’s hand and walked towards the stage from the aisle.

If I remember correctly, A Shui said he would give him a surprise.
