When the emergency was resolved, everyone was relieved.
Edward looked at Yates who had just helped them out, and said, “Thank you.”
Yates and Edward were not in the same team, and they were not familiar with each other before, so the help was heartwarming.
Yates scratched his neck, and felt a little uneasy to hear that. “It’s okay. He deserves a whacking. You needn’t thank me.”
Be that as it may, Edward was still very grateful.
“Are you okay?” Edward looked back at Susan with a soothing smile.
Susan was not nervous as imagined, but said playfully, “I’m fine, it’s just two photos. You guys, go ahead, and cheer up!”
Some staff members came to urge them when they found that the players hadn’t appeared.
Edward and other players had to leave.
The door was shut.
Leo was still patting his chest, “Oh, I was scared to death. That reporter looked like a skeleton. When he rushed up, I saw his eyeballs which seemed to protrude.”
“Leo…” Susan could no longer stand and grabbed Leo’s arm with one hand.
“Fuck…” Leo hurriedly supported Susan, “Susan, what’s the matter with you? You were OK just now…”
Actually she pretended to be relaxed.
Finally, Susan sat on the ground out of fear after Edward and the others left.
That reporter appeared too suddenly with the dark camera which was almost aiming at her face, as if opening a bloody mouth to swallow her.
She was so frightened that her legs became weak. But considering that Edward was about to play the games, she was afraid that she would affect his performance, so she forced herself to look relaxed.
“Can you stand up, you…” Looking at Susan’s bloodless face, Leo was at a loss.
Susan was trembling all over. She raised her hand slightly and gasped for breath, “I’m okay… Let me sit on the ground for a while.”
Leo gently let go of Susan’s arm, stood up and said, “Wait, I will pour you a cup of hot water.”
Susan took a cup of hot water when the voice of commentator and the cheers of the audience came from the screen above her head. The two major competitors of LPL and LCK had begun the match together.
Only Edward was in her eyes.
Facing the situation just now, Edward was so calm. Compared with her who encountered this situation for the first time, Susan didn’t dare to think about it.
When he first entered this circle, did he have such a panic? Did he ever tremble in fright?
At that time, had anyone given him a comforting smile and gently asked him “are you OK”?
“Why are you crying, Susan?” Leo saw Susan suddenly began to cry, “Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you need me to send you to the hospital?”
“Leo…” Susan choked for several times before she could speak smoothly. “Has he encountered this kind of situation many times before?”
Leo stopped, as if he knew what Susan was thinking about. A lump came into his throat and said, “At that time he was just famous, not very famous.”
“An old player in the circle who also played MID asked someone to bully him.” Leo told her about what happened to Edward when he arrived in Shanghai in the beginning. “He called me and I was so scared. I asked around a dozen people to pick him up. He was kicked in the stomach and his knees were broken.”
“But fortunately, there were no scars left on his face. After half a month of recovery, he was still a handsome boy as he is now.” Leo pretended to be relaxed and told some jokes.
Tears gave way to smiles. Susan wiped her nose with her hand. She felt embarrassed about her look and stretched out one hand to Leo, “Do you have any tissue? I’m running at the nose.”
“Come on, I will help you.” Leo took her hand and slowly supported her to sit on the sofa.
“Leo.” Susan sniffed, with red eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Leo looked at the little girl.
“Do me a favor, don’t tell Edward about this.”
Leo rolled his eyes, “Hey, look at your eyes first. You are still crying. Your eyes are even redder than rabbit eyes. Maybe before I say something, you will expose yourself first.”
“I’ll stop crying right now!”
