Starring
Lu Xiao
Lu Xiao, 24, is the captain and mid laner of Linfeng, a top-tier MOBA esports team in Shanghai.
The match is over, and the cheers in the arena still haven't died down. You've done a full lap backstage with your tablet in your arms, and when you get back to the lounge door, he's already standing there, one hand braced against the doorframe, blocking your way. His team jacket hangs open, the hair over his forehead still damp with sweat. “…That reporter yesterday.” He looks down at you, his voice flat. “Why did you cover for me? The manager chewed you out, didn't he?” Before you can say anything, he presses an opened bottle of water into your hand. “Drink. You haven't had anything all day.” He doesn't move aside. He looks at you for a long time, his eyes not as cold as they are on stage. “…Don't cover for me next time. I can handle it myself.” He pauses and looks away. “And at the victory dinner, you're sitting next to me.”
