(Distinguished fans and friends,)

(it's me again,)

(your one and only gossip queen.)

(Onmyoji Arena Pro League)

(will kick off soon.)

(All the teams are getting ready to announce their lineups.)

(But YQCB hasn't chosen a shooter yet.)

(After ZGDX's substitute midsolo Lv returned,)

(ZGDX is yet to announce its own lineups.)

(Smiling and Lv,)

(whom will you bet on?)

You won't be in the lineups either.

Why are you working so hard?

I will be in the lineups for certain.

You won't be in the lineups.

No, you won't be in the lineups.

You, come here.

Retard.

You come here.

=Falling into Your Smile=

=Episode 9=

Rui, you're finally here.

- Hello. - We've waited a long time for you.

Cheng, you came too.

Come on in.

Come.

- This way. - Hello.

Too much foundation.

Really?

Let me see.

It's true.

I won't apply concealer on you.

I'll just apply some finishing powder to your face.

Okay?

Gosh.

Cheng, your skin is so smooth.

I know.

What's your skincare secret?

I am young.

I'm already gorgeous.

I don't think I need makeup.

That's not true.

You'll look better with makeup.

Babe, here.

Why are you trimming my eyebrows?

I have very cool eyebrows.

They are cool, indeed.

But they are different in height.

Are they?

They are.

Apply a layer of the Lipstick Color 502 to my lips.

Then apply Lipstick Color 303.

This way, I'll look natural and radiant.

Can I skip the eyeliner part?

This looks strange.

Are you sure?

Rui.

Come and take a look.

Doesn't Cat look more exquisite

after I applied eyeliner to him?

Eyeliner is a must.

Relax.

I can't draw when you're acting like this.

Will you please put more contours on the sides of my face?

My face is large.

Your face is not large, darling.

Really?

This is the first time I hear someone say so.

Your face is just fleshy.

K, do my eye lines look exquisite?

Tong Yao, you still aren't done?

Women are troublesome.

It's okay.

Anyway, we'll have our photos taken separately.

Come on. Let's go to take photos first.

After they finish, you should be done.

It's okay. Take your time.

Wait, Rui.

Where is my team uniform?

On the couch.

Where is the dressing room?

You can get changed anywhere in this room.

Nobody will look at you anyway.

Are you going to change your clothes now?

If so, I'll go out.

There's no hurry.

Let's spend a little more time on makeup.

Sure.

ZGDX is really a star e-sports team.

Check out Cheng's legs.

Chubby.

You should have your photos taken alone.

Without anyone standing near you for comparison,

you'll look like a chubby hottie.

Thank you.

You said the same thing last year.

What time is it?

It's about time to take group photos.

Yeah. What time is it?

Why hasn't Tong Yao come here?

We've finished the white-themed photo shoot.

Is she having a dramatic makeover?

Women tend to dally.

Before they go outdoors,

they wash, comb and blow their hair,

pair up clothing items, apply perfume,

and pick handbags and shoes.

Yeah.

You are right.

I'll make arrangements.

Cheng,

could you please go and get her here?

You want me to go?

That's a great arrangement you made.

She is scared of you.

Once you show up,

she'll rush here at top speed.

Hey, Chubby.

Go on.

Tony,

do you think I should have more eyeshadow?

No. It's great as it is.

I feel like my eyelashes are falling off.

It's really good.

Rest easy.

Nothing will fall off.

They will rush you if you stay here any longer.

Alright then. I'll go get dressed in my team uniform.

Go ahead, get changed.

Thanks.

I guess Jinyang is more experienced.

Shorty, the sun is about to set...

Hurry up.

Cheng, what are you doing here?

The photo shooting crew asked us to hurry up.

What's the matter?

Where is that Shorty?

Go back.

What's wrong?

Is she in there?

Yes.

What's she doing?

I don't know. Just go back.

She'll be with us soon.

Rui insisted that she and I should have a photo taken together.

So I came.

Okay. Be quick, you guys.

Who were you talking to?

Lu Yue.

If you're dressed, just come out. Don't waste any more time.

So you saw it just now.

I'm not blind.

The pattern is small.

I still saw it.

I told you to knock before coming in.

Lu Yue wanted to enter the room too.

I stopped him.

I'm talking about you.

Why bring Lu Yue into this?

You were in there for 1 hour and 40 minutes.

The chances of pushing the door open

to see you dressed like that

were as slim

as pushing the door open

to see you dead on the floor.

Nevertheless,

I'm sorry.

I'll knock on the door the next time.

(Lu Sicheng actually apologized to me?)

You're nuts.

Why did you suddenly apologize to me in all seriousness?

I thought you needed a serious apology.

I did need it.

In ancient times, you'd have to marry me in the situation like this.

Don't push it.

Don't take greater liberties with me.

I'm sorry.

You're finally here.

Tong Yao,

what happened to your face?

What do you mean?

Have you seen a monkey's buttocks?

What did you do in the room?

We ran here.

We were in a hurry.

Why aren't you panting if you ran here?

I have long legs.

Enough chatter.

It's time to get down to business.

Tong Yao, do the photo shoot.

Okay.

It's photo shoot time.

Come on.

Cross your arms.

Lift your chin a little.

Look straight ahead.

Lower your eyelids.

Okay.

Will my face look big in the photos this way?

Yes.

With my eyelids lowered,

my eyes won't be seen.

But you'll look dominant this way.

Imagine yourself as a queen.

Queen?

You want this petite girl to act like a queen?

At least consider

the feasibility.

Lu Yue.

Go there and take photos with her.

I want a feeling of destined battle

and struggle to enshroud you.

There should be signs of intense friction,

deadly hostility

and silent competition between a starting player and a substitute.

Create a sense of conflict

that hails from your competitive relationship.

Move aside. Move aside.

Look over here.

Behave like the retards you were when you were fighting for a seat.

Rui wants you to stay true to yourselves.

Cheng, go there.

Why?

So you can be photographed.

Why should I be photographed with her alone?

We must have some photos

of ZGDX's most attractive members standing together.

The club's PR department made this demand.

Even if you refuse to be photographed with her, there will be PS photos.

You may as well have some good photos taken.

Bring a seat here.

Tong Yao, please step down.

You don't have to stand on it.

Cheng, sit down.

This feels like a wedding photo shoot.

It does feel like that.

Look here.

(Smiling is really cool! This team is unmatched in attractiveness.)

(Good luck in the new season!)

(Cheng is truly the team's spiritual leader and most gorgeous guy.)

(Gosh! Cheng is so cool! And Smiling is just as cool!)

(I wish them all the best in the new season!)

(The photo is pretty nice, but only because of Cheng's good looks.)

We can take the fight.

Move to high ground.

Wait until I control this one opposite of me.

Take it easy.

We can take this.

- Go. - Okay.

Cat, come over.

Come here.

Come on.

Yes.

That was easy.

Tong Yao.

You're lame.

With you staring at me like a vulture here,

I couldn't play well.

Besides, we won.

Since we won, I'm going to order something for afternoon tea.

- What do you want to have? - Alright.

I want that...

What's its name again?

Don't order food for me.

Jinyang will come to me later.

I'll dine out with her.

- I'll order a salad for you. - This, this, this.

- As for you... - This, this.

I've eaten this before.

What's the matter?

Our official Weibo account manager posted a sneak peek of our photos.

This photo looks good.

Check this out.

- Nice. - You're handsome, Lu Yue.

Look at the back.

(My Lv, you finally appeared.)

(This photo looks nice.)

(A new generation of light and shadow is born.)

(I'm getting more and more excited about the National League.)

(Yue&Yao CP fans are on the rise now.)

(Our Yue is truly young and handsome.)

(Aren't Smiling and Cheng a couple?)

(This photo provokes controversy.)

(Cheng&Yao CP fans, stand firm)

(and don't waver.)

I told our official Weibo account manager to post the photos.

Before the official release,

we're letting those who understand take a good look.

Few people understand.

Most people think this team's only female member

registered her marriage with two men at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Most people?

Like who?

My mother. His mother.

I have five missed calls

and over ten unanswered text messages.

She wants to know if her sons

have got a girlfriend.

Why were the couple photos posted on the official Weibo page?

And why are they dating the same woman?

Hello? Mom?

No, no, no.

it's not what you think between me and Tong Yao.

Cheng?

I don't know

if Cheng is...

Thankfully, my parents don't use Weibo.

Tipsy tastes good.

It tastes even better when I'm looking at your photo.

Nice photo.

Cut it out.

My team forbids romance between team members.

No romance between team members?

Have you forgotten you were with Cheng alone

or was I blind?

Knock it off.

He just saw me fall off my bed

and come to taunt me.

Now you're putting on an act.

I'm here to develop my professional e-sports career.

Nobody said otherwise.

All the comments said otherwise.

Ignore them.

I heard that Cheng and Lu Yue are biological brothers.

That's quite obvious.

They look really alike.

But Cheng is taller.

They are equally handsome.

The moment I saw them,

I had an illusion that the e-sports industry is filled with handsome young men.

And?

And I wondered

how I ended up with plain Ai Jia

in an industry filled with handsome young men.

Ai Jia is handsome too.

Not as handsome as Cheng.

Cheng is a lady killer in the e-sports industry.

Ai Jia is like a sticking plaster at most.

He clings to me all day.

I can't push him away no matter how hard I try.

I think you're secretly enjoying this.

On a side note,

did you really wear the item with the rabbit and carrot pattern

on the day of the photo shoot?

Yeah.

What? Did it look bad on me?

I think I got something wrong.

What?

I don't know.

Some people like that.

But you must be careful.

Only perverts

would like that.

What the heck?

The internet is heated with arguments about you and Lu Yue

with some saying you are the starting midsolo and some saying he is.

Someone even conducted a poll.

Nice work, my friend.

I didn't know you have so many fans.

I'm competent and cute.

Of course I have fans.

Unlike Lu Yue, the guy depends on his looks.

Your fans are so professional.

They even made a video

to analyze your strengths and weaknesses.

This is like one of those slideshows

college students would make for their assignments.

They truly love you.

If they were this enthusiastic

to court Xu Kai, they would have got him.

Let me see.

I want to know about Lu Yue's weaknesses.

(She is not bad. And she is more pleasant to look at than Lu Yue.)

(Tong Yao's gaming strategy is conservative and passionless! )

(She has a ton of weaknesses)

(and much room for improvement. She never shows her face in live streams,)

(but is involved in many romantic scandals with Lu Sicheng.)

What is these people's problem?

My romantic scandal has nothing to do with my gaming skill.

They must be elementary school students.

You are enviable.

You and the man of their dreams

live under the same roof

and spend every minute together.

I'm green with envy.

You already have a boyfriend.

Watch your mouth.

(Have you finished talking?)

(Ming wants you to come down and train.)

(Come down now or we'll go upstairs and grab you.)

(No, I'll be down there right away.)

(Don't do anything rash.)

"Rabbit Tightly Holds the Carrot"

told you to not do anything rash.

"Tightly Holds the Carrot".

Be honest with us.

What?

Who is this "Rabbit Tightly Holds the Carrot"

on WeChat?

Are you okay?

Why did you run? That was dangerous.

Are you alright?

Why did you run?

That was dangerous.

If your face got damaged,

it'd cost you a fortune to get a reconstructive surgery.

Yao, are you okay?

Come here.

Did you get injured?

Does it hurt?

Come on.

Use my phone as you want.

Don't snoop.

You're way too curious.

Are you all right?

Yes.

I'm off then.

Have a good time training.

Won't you go next door to check on your ex-boyfriend?

He'll pay for being a tsundere.

Let him pay heavily.

I'm off.

Come out with me.

Give it to me.

Grab one yourself.

It tastes good.

I'm talking about your phone.

Delete the alias.

What?

Delete the alias.

What alias?

Delete the alias.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Delete the alias.

You mean that alias.

I remember asking someone

to delete a Weibo post

and she said

no.

That happened a long time ago.

How come you still hold a grudge?

Besides,

you locked me out first.

You also hold a grudge till now.

The alias is too weird.

If other people see my under...

that thing,

and think of the alias you gave me,

what do you suppose they will think?

To whom else are you going to show you like that?

I'm not going to show it to anyone else.

You just make me uneasy.

Why do you feel uneasy?

Don't you think

making your teammate an alias

based on her underwear pattern

is something only a pervert

would do?

A pervert?

I'd never been a pervert to a girl like you.

Do you think I have no taste? Or do you think I've lost my mind?

You win.

(Save Image)

(Save Image)

Don't come near. Don't come near.

Help!

Hey, go away!

What kind of rabbit are you?

Go away.

How can there be a perverted rabbit like you?

I'd never be a pervert to a girl like you.

Do you think I have no taste?

One of us must have gone nuts.

Go away.

Biscuit.

If you sit on my face while I'm sleeping again,

you'll have to sleep outside.

I'd never be a pervert to a girl like you.

Do you think I have no taste?

One of us must have gone nuts.

Am I possessed?

Not only did I dream of Lu Sicheng.

but I also thought of him when I saw you.

The National League will start this week.

We'll draw lots to be matched against our opponents.

In order to help you get in the groove quickly,

we have scheduled a training match

with YQCB.

That relegation team next door?

Why are we fighting them?

Their new shooter has arrived.

I heard that it's big news.

So we need to make ready in advance.

Tong Yao, you'll participate

in the training match.

Love you, Rui.

You're saying it to the wrong person.

Cheng and Ming made the decision.

Why?

You just came back.

You haven't harmonized with everyone yet.

It's better to have Tong Yao play in today's match.

Then will I be the starting midsolo?

It's hard to say.

We'll get a chart that compares your data and Lu Yue's data

before the National League.

Whoever stands out will be the starting midsolo.

If you lose again this afternoon,

the cold chair beside the water dispenser

will be yours.

(We're ready.)

They are ready. Let's enter the room.

Good luck.

- I'll go make some food. - Hurry up.

I'm counting on you.

Okay.

Come on.

The other team's shooter also has an ID with garbled characters.

What's the matter?

I can't believe there is someone

as pervert as you.

Watch your mouth.

Let's give it our best shot.

Follow me.

Alright. I'm coming.

Focus on farming.

Don't pick up any fights.

Wait until K shows up.

Cheng, the other team's shooter is somewhat fierce.

You may go back and reapply the buffs to yourself.

Alright.

Seal, First Blood.

Cheng, what's going on?

The other team's Youko moved past our tower to kill us.

That's just fierce.

Shut up. Keep it going.

Chessman is resurrected.

Prepare to retreat.

Chubby, follow me.

Remember to show us the enemy's positions.

Understood.

They are here. Attack.

Holy crap, how could they be here?

(Lightning Speed)

How could they be here?

Tong Yao,

why didn't you tell us they were gone from the middle lane?

I just saw him returning to the base.

I didn't know it was a deceptive move.

Cheng,

(Youko Yuki Onna) how did they find out

you were there to steal their jungle monsters?

Were you discovered just now?

No way.

I almost pressed myself against you.

I think the other team

suddenly became familiar with your strategy.

Cheng, hang in there.

You guys are making me panic.

Maybe you should let me replace you.

Go away. Stay near the water dispenser.

Chubby, use your ultimate skill.

Understood.

Good job.

Awesome.

Cheng is freaking awesome as always.

Cheng, what are you doing?

Hit them.

Cheng, hit them.

Hit them.

Move around.

Youko is mine.

Cheng, where are you going?

Cheng, what are you doing?

Press attack.

Where is our shooter?

Is he lost?

I'm reporting our shooter.

He doesn't work with his teammates.

He deserves fewer points and bad reviews.

I'm in control. Attack. Go after them.

(Lion's Lunge) One. Good job.

(Defeat)

(Against One Thousand Troops)

Go. Attack.

(Legendary)

Attack.

- I'm using my ultimate skill. - Hurry up.

We won.

This is great.

You won again?

We finally won.

That was exhausting.

Who played the other team's Youko?

He was incredibly fierce.

Hierophant is here.

Hierophant?

What do you mean by "Hierophant is here"?

Cheng, don't try to fool me.

He killed me twice

and saw right through

Youko and Doumeki.

Nobody except Hierophant could do those things.

So, Hierophant was the one who joined YQCB?

What do you mean?

Repeat again?

I think YQCB will announce it soon.

The announcement hasn't been made yet.

How come Cheng was so sure about it?

Does he know Hierophant that well?

Rui said the other day

Cheng and Hierophant

were like light and shadow.

I know that.

But are they so close?

I smell gossip.

What's the situation?

Is there something going on between them?

Cheng

used to be a substitute on a foremost South Korean team.

He was the substitute for Hierophant.

They had the exact same

gaming strategy, style

and shikigami lineup.

Some people in and outside China said

Cheng was Hierophant's shadow.

Some other people commented that he was imitating Hierophant.

You know what he is like.

He is of much pride.

He probably has been unhappy about that kind of comment for a long time.

(Hierophant joined YQCB)

YQCB actually made the announcement.

Hierophant joined YQCB.

Many fans left comments.

(He is here.)

(He came for his sweetheart.)

(Our Gun-hyeok is here)

(to participate in Onmyoji Arena Pro League.)

(Am I dreaming?)

(If this is not love...)

(It's love. Cheng, do you see?)

(Your sweety Gun-hyeok is here.)

But I'm curious.

Why did Hierophant come to China?

Can't you see?

He came for Cheng.

Lu Sicheng and Lee Gun-hyeok.

Chessman and Hierophant.

They are like shadow and light.

Rui already told us about it.

It would be an exaggeration to say Cheng made Hierophant shiver.

But when he was a professional e-sports player in South Korea,

he had a period of great success

and kept Hierophant in a substitute position

for two whole seasons.

Really?

He was that good?

Of course.

Cheng speaks fluent Korean.

He used to command the team in South Korea.

Later on, he left to be a professional player in China.

Why would he want to be a professional player in China?

Because he loves this country.

Cheng wants to lead the Chinese professional team

in winning the world championship.

So he came back.

That's touching, even for me.

Therefore,

all those rumors about Hierophant rising again

and Cheng being replaced

and depressed as a substitute

before coming back to China

are bullshit.

In other words,

Cheng was not driven back.

He wanted to come back.

What happened after that?

Hierophant felt discontented after that.

Shadow can't eclipse light.

We haven't fought officially.

I haven't beaten you officially.

How could you just leave like that?

Is everything I own now

unwanted and granted by you?

That's quite the story.

Because our team

didn't get into the final

for various reasons last year,

they had no chance to compete aboveboard.

So, Hierophant just came to China in this season.

Is it true?

Of course, it's true.

The most incredible thing about them is that

they can read each other's mind.

Today,

Cheng guessed Hierophant was on the other team

just because of a match.

What's more, I saw a fanfic about them

in the E-sports Industry Farm group.

I wanted to print it and give it to Cheng.

I wonder how that poker face

will react to the fanfic.

He probably will be so pissed off.

You must be tired of living.

(Fanfic about Cheng and Hierophant)

K,

what is a fanfic?

Have you watched "18 Bronzemen"? [*"Bronzemen" is pronounced the same as "fanfic".]

Yes.

So they were monks once?

Awesome.

Exciting.

Who do you think is better, Cheng or Hierophant?

Cheng, of course.

Our team's player is always stronger than any other team's player.

What a diehard fanboy.

TAT welcomes you, Chessman.

This is the one

known as Hierophant in the game.

(Hierophant, Lee Gun-hyeok Love moving past the enemy's tower to kill the enemy)
