Playing Fish Trapped in Secret Room
Book 2: You’re Beautiful
Chapter 19
Dt stood from his seat, grabbed Grunt’s jacket, and ran after him . Inin pulled on Ai Qing’s arm and whispered a suggestion, “Can we go back ourselves……”
Apparently Inin really feared Gun .
Gun seemed to detect Inin’s uneasiness . He stood up slowly from his chair and reached out to rub Inin’s hair into a mess . He half smiled and got close to him, “Are you afraid of me? I’m not your manager, what’s there to be afraid of?”
“No . ” Inin was even more despondent . He
apprehensively lowered his head and looked down at his own shoes . “I just thought I should… . . . go back earlier to practice . ”
Gun wanted to continue playing around with him .
Ai Qing flipped away Gun’s hand and pulled Inin behind her .
It was very obvious that she wouldn’t allow anyone to bully her people .
Gun’s dark eyes moved from her to Inin, then looked back at her . “A player who’s lacking aggression in his character is truly Solo’s favorite… . . . Hasn’t he changed after so many years? I
I heard that Solo paid lots of money to hire him at the time . How is it? Has he regretted it yet?”
Ai Qing raised her eyebrows .
Gun raised his hands . “Ok, ok, I’ll stop talking . I’m leaving . ”
Then he picked up his black jacket from the chair and turned around . His face instantly turned gloomy without the cynicism he had earlier when he was teasing Inin . He left in an unpleasant mood .
Inin patted his chest, “So scary . ”
They were with people from several Korean clubs on their way back .
. Inin acted as the translator occasionally . It was quite unexpected that despite Grunt’s loss, he had became the focus of their conversation . When Inin told them that Ai Qing was very familiar with K&K’s major players, they became even more interested .
Korean mixed with Chinese, they happily conversed all the way back .
Some players even indicated that they would soon switch from StarCraft to Secret Room . From this angle, esports had more advantages than traditional sports . You could see a StarCraft player switched to DotA, but you would never see a diver become a sprinter become a sprinter .
After they walked out of the elevator in the hotel, the guy who beaten Grunt, ranked third in the world, made the extra effort to shake Ai Qing’s hand . He spoke in broken Chinese, “Expect to see you and Inin’s performance . ”
“Likewise . Looking forward to yours as well . ” Ai Qing shook his hand back .
They went their separate ways in front of the elevator . Ai Qing led Inin and turned into the right hallway .
She was surprised to see Grunt standing at the end of the hall, just outside her room .
