The factory manager glanced at Meiko with a vague look: "Do you think she is interested in him?"
Meiko nodded: "Not necessarily, but definitely not interested in you."
"I rely on."
Xu Mo, who was standing by, remained calm in the face of this scene and handed Rita a chair: "What are you doing here?"
"It's nothing." Rita paused, looked him in the eye, and said casually, "It's just that the popularity of live broadcasts has dropped a bit recently, and I want to use your popularity to gain some popularity. You see, you are on the hot search, and I just happen to be recording an interview with a professional player, so I was thinking - can I come to your base to shoot a segment on the spot."
"Do I have the option to refuse?" Xu Mo spread his hands.
"Yes." Rita blinked, "But I might accuse you in tears for the whole episode during the live broadcast."
"Then you win."
The onlookers started to make a noise.
"Oh my, oh my, is Brother Xu scared?"
"Is this the same Xu Shen who just made Sword Lady cry in the game?"
"Really? - A strong man becomes weak when he meets Rita?"
Rita ignored them, took out her notebook, and took out two cups of milk tea from her bag and handed them to Xu Mo: "One cup of Boba Milk Tea, and one cup of Taro Bobo. Remember you said last time that you liked to drink taro."
"You even remember what I drank?" Xu Mo was a little surprised.
"Of course," Rita said, lowering her voice, "If you remember what I like, then we're tied."
The factory manager sipped his milk tea and said, "I can't stand it anymore. I want to play solo ranking."
Meiko pounded the table: "These two put on a whole idol drama in our live studio!"
Scout sighed: "Why do I suddenly feel that I should practice interviewing? At least I can trick Rita into coming to our room."
"Your room doesn't even have an air purifier. She'll have allergies when she comes here." The factory manager hit the nail on the head.
Everyone was arguing, and Rita suddenly leaned close to Xu Mo's ear and whispered, "Do you want to record a duo video together later? You play top, and I'll play support, to create some show effects."
"You can do it?" Xu Mo raised his eyebrows.
"I was in Diamond 1 before, is that not possible?" Rita said proudly.
"Okay, I'll take you flying."
Rita smiled, with a sly look in her eyes: "Your live broadcast room is so popular now. If we win the duo match, maybe some people will support us as a couple."
"Are you afraid that fans will misunderstand you?"
"I'm not afraid." She smiled softly, "Are you afraid?"
"I was afraid they would ask why she didn't go to the factory manager."
"Pooh!" the factory director shouted in the distance, "I heard it!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
The atmosphere in the training room was extremely lively, and comments had already begun to explode crazily—
[Sister Rita came to the base to find Xu Shen! ]
[I’m determined to eat this candy! ]
[The factory manager looked so envious that I almost died of laughter! ]
[Meiko: I’m not jealous, but I hope Rita will find me next time]
[I declare that from today on I will stand for "Xu Mo×Rita"]
Xu Mo, who was sitting in the C position, still had that calm and composed expression, but there was an unstoppable smile in the corners of his eyes.
He whispered, "She came to me, not you."
At that moment, everyone was silent.
The atmosphere in EDG's training room became more relaxed.
"Come on, come on, let's go straight to the double row broadcast." Xu Mo had already sat back in his seat, opened the live broadcast software prepared by Rita, and switched the perspective to dual cameras.
"I'm reminding you." Rita hummed as she put on her headphones, "I haven't played for a long time. If I fail, don't blame me."
"Have you forgotten?" Xu Mo sneered, "I specialize in dealing with people who don't know how to play."
Rita: “??? This is a personal attack!”
The barrage has exploded:
[Fuck, these two are on air! ]
[The famous scene of "She came to me, not you" just passed, and the duo team started right away? 】
[Please, give me a reason not to support this couple...]
The game started quickly, and the two were matched into the ranking. Rita grabbed the support position, and Xu Mo filled in as the AD in the bottom lane.
"What do you want to play?" Rita looked at the character selection interface, "I'm playing Janna, can you play?"
"Jade Girl is fine." Xu Mo nodded, "Then I'll go for... Jhin?"
"Are you sure?" Rita's eyes widened. "Can you cooperate with Jhin's poke?"
Xu Mo said calmly: "I am a Spider player, precision is my byword."
Before entering the game, Rita said, "Let's go to the bottom lane to meet up. Don't let the audience down."
Barrage of comments:
[“Dating in the Bottom Lane” I’m going crazy! ]
[Sister Rita is so good at this, hahahahahaha]
[Please Xu Mo kill everyone! Otherwise it will ruin the atmosphere of this game! ]
At the beginning of the game, the combination of Janna + Jhin performed stably and had strong suppression power.
"Look at my Q-bang, two people spinning around." Rita muttered happily, "I didn't fall behind!"
Xu Mo calmly responded: "I have finished my four shots, you dodge the shield and take over the control."
"No problem!" Rita followed up decisively, accelerated and flashed, and directly lifted the opposite female gunner!"Wow! There's something here." Xu Mo chuckled.
"Of course." Rita said proudly, "Although I have retired, the spirit of the Wind Girl is still here."
【What a divine collaboration! 】
[This wave of operations is so sweet to me]
[The Wind Girl goes straight to the sky, and Brother Jhin opens fire at full power! ]
However, the opponent was obviously unwilling to give up, and the second wave of jungle Graves came and forced their way across the tower.
"Damn, they brought a nanny with them?" Xu Mo frowned slightly, "This is too targeted."
Rita was drugged and force-fed and died instantly.
"I, why did I die?" Rita was a little surprised.
Xu Mo looked down at the chat box: "The jungler on the other side is typing."
"What?" Rita wondered.
[Male Gunner: Sister Wind, can you please stop suppressing us? It's time to go home and take a shower.]
The live broadcast room suddenly exploded:[Arrogant! This male gun is so rampant! ]
[Don't bully my sister Rita! ]
[Xu Mo, kill his whole family! ]
Xu Mo raised his lips and said in a gentle tone: "Bullying my assistant?"
He went home to last hit, bought Phantom Flame + shoes directly, and went straight to the bottom lane with the level 3 ultimate.
"I want revenge this time." Xu Mo said in a deep voice, "I will let him know what the Judgment of Ashes is."
"I'm resurrected!" Rita was surprised, "Do you want me to go first?"
"No need." Xu Mo said coldly, his eyes were solemn, but his operation was as smooth as flowing water.
Graves reached the river again, proudly preparing to gank again.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared behind him——
[Jhin’s R skill: Curtain Draws]!"I'm going full blast!" Xu Mo shouted, "Pay attention to the wind wall, don't stand in front of me."
Rita: "I'm sitting next to you, you should call me too!"
Four shots were fired in quick succession, each one hitting the target accurately. The opposing auxiliary nurse was killed instantly, and the male gunner was crippled and wanted to escape——
"Q to slow down, instant sniping." Xu Mo operated steadily and took the head with a normal attack.
"I feel good." Rita was happy, "Send another message!"
Xu Mo typed: [Next time, don't talk to Janna. Ask Jhin first if he agrees.]
The barrage is output directly and crazily:
[“Ask Jhin if he agrees first!”! ! ! ]
[Xu Shen is in love today! 】
[Does the male gunner feel a little regretful now? Why did he pick on this couple when there were so many other people he could pick on? ]
The other side obviously began to collapse.
The male gun began to take a detour to avoid the bottom lane, and the female gun did not dare to push forward. In the mid-term dragon group, the opponent wanted to take the initiative to attack Jhin, but the wind girl's ultimate skill directly knocked back three people, then took the shield and lifted them up!
"Another shot!" Xu Mo yelled.
【Snapped! 】
Jhin’s fourth critical hit takes away the opponent’s C position!"Sister Rita is so strong in team fights!" The screen was filled with comments.
"Of course, do you think I'm here to mess around?" Rita said proudly.
The two sides then began to stalemate, but Xu Mo always found opportunities accurately and gained advantages one after another. Every time Rita was targeted, he would immediately use flash to block the road. After several rescues, the barrage was boiling:[It feels like Xu Mo is really protecting his wife! ]
[Rita must be so moved that she almost cried! ]
[How can this be called a double row? This is simply a double cultivation]
The game time reached 28 minutes. IG got the big dragon buff and directly pushed the middle team.
"Let's start a team fight and end the game." Xu Mo said in a steady tone.
"Go!" Rita also shouted.
Janna used W to speed up everyone, Xu Mo immediately used R to remotely block the output line, and then used Q to flash to harvest, and two opponents were killed before they could even stand firm!The final team battle ended in a complete annihilation!"Victory!"
The “CP fans” in the live broadcast room were all in tears.
[This wave of laning, coordination, and teamfights is so sweet that even the screenwriter couldn’t write it]
[Sister Rita, don’t go back to live streaming, just join EDG! ]
[I support this duo’s debut with my real name – top laner and support, who knows! ]
-
After the game, Rita smiled like a child.
"I didn't expect you to be so strong playing Jhin."
"You only see that I am strong, you don't see--" Xu Mo paused and raised his eyes, "You are the driving force behind my strength."
"...Just shut up."
Rita turned her head, her ears red.
The factory manager and Meiko pushed the door open and walked in. The factory manager sneered at first, "You two young lovers, are you done with the game?"
Meiko shook her head. "I'm going to report this duo in the bottom lane... You two are dating without us."
Rita immediately regained her professionalism: "We just did a clean technical match."
"Clear and innocent?" Xu Mo laughed softly, "Then will my rank remain innocent tonight?"
Rita was stunned for half a second and her face turned red.
"You, don't talk nonsense!"
The factory manager burst into laughter: "Oh my, this night is not innocent! God Xu is driving!"
Meiko smiled and handed over the new milk tea: "Stop it, Xu Mo, give us some chance to survive. Your style of play is not only a jungler's specialty, but now you are even turning the support into your personal hero."
Xu Mo took a sip of milk tea and smiled slightly: "I can't help it, I just like my assistant to be alive."
After these words were spoken, the training room fell into a brief silence.
Then--
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"
Meiko held her head and screamed: "I won't live any longer, please stop showing off your love!"
Scout shouted from a distance: "This wave is really the rhythm of love brain!"
And the barrage of comments also completely exploded.
In the training room of EDG's base, the atmosphere was as lively as ever, with everyone playing games and chatting. Rita sat next to Xu Mo, occasionally joking with him while debugging the equipment.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a man in a casual suit and sunglasses walked in.
"Oh, it's so lively." The man took off his sunglasses, revealing a handsome and confident face. "I've only been gone for half a year, and EDG has gained an all-around jungler. Even our little Rita has fallen for him?"
"Ye Han?" Meiko blinked, a little surprised, "Why are you back?"
"The club called me back to be a commentator. The Spring Pre-Season Invitational will start tomorrow." Ye Han smiled and waved his hands, but his eyes were fixed on Rita. "When I came back, I saw her playing hotly in a duo with someone, and they were spreading dog food all over the room."
The barrage hadn't been turned on yet, but there was already something subtle in the air.
"Who is he?" Xu Mo finally spoke, his tone indifferent.
"Old friend, former professional mid laner, Ye Han." Rita pursed her lips, a little embarrassed, "He... used to be my partner."
"Before? It seems to be OK now." Ye Han smiled calmly, turned around and patted Xu Mo's shoulder, "Brother, can you give me my assistant back for a while? Don't occupy it for too long."
The training room was silent for a few seconds.
Xu Mo had a blank expression on his face: "Sorry, I don't really like giving up my seat when playing games."
Ye Han raised his eyebrows: "How about we play a game?"
Rita quickly spoke up: "Hey, stop messing around, we are teammates, not enemies!"
"I'm just kidding." Ye Han smiled and took a step back. "I'll go report to the director first. Rita, can you go over the process with me later if it's convenient?"
Rita hesitated: "...Okay."
Ye Han turned and left, leaving everyone in EDG looking at each other in bewilderment.
The factory manager slapped his thigh and said, "The atmosphere has changed since this guy came back."
Meiko whispered, "Do you think they had something going on before?"
Scout looked gossipy: "No way? But looking at Xu Mo's face... it's a bit explosive."
"Let's go." Xu Mo stood up, suddenly pulled out a chair and walked back, "I'm going out to get some fresh air."
Rita wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end.
Xu Mo stood on the balcony, holding a can of ice cola in his hand, his eyes a little wandering.
"Partner?" He muttered in a low voice, "This word sounds uncomfortable."
In fact, he was not afraid of competitors, but Rita's attitude of not avoiding suspicion. That familiar look seemed to say: You are just a part of my life, not the only one.
That feeling annoyed him a little.
The next day, the competition started as scheduled.
Rita and Ye Han sat in the commentary seats on the main stage, while Xu Mo was arranged to sit in the vice seat as a guest commentator. To create a good atmosphere, the director deliberately allowed the two cameras to interact.
"Welcome everyone to watch the EDG Spring Invitational. I am your old friend Ye Han." Ye Han smiled brightly at the camera, "I am very happy today because my partner Rita is back."
"Brother Ye, you are praising me to the sky." Rita responded with a smile.
"It's not praise, it's remembrance." Ye Han smiled, "I remember the first time we partnered up was in the S7 finals..."
The camera turned to the deputy seat, where Xu Mo was adjusting his earphones. He looked indifferent, but there was an imperceptible sadness in his eyes.
"It looks like the old partnership is back again," the host joked.
Xu Mo smiled and said, "I will be responsible for observing whether they will make the wrong BP today."
The audience barrage instantly became active:
[Why does it seem like Xu Mo is not very happy? ]
[Triangle Shura Field? This is getting really exciting! ]
[Rita and Ye Han have a good rapport...Xu Mo seems a bit out of place]
During the game, Rita and Ye Han's cooperation was indeed seamless.
Every time Rita said something, Ye Han would always respond just right; every time the camera switched, Ye Han would subconsciously make room for Rita and adjust the microphone. (End of this chapter)
