That day, Tong Yao dreamed that she and Lu Sicheng got married. Half-awake, she shook her head and went to wash her face, but the images in her mind wouldn’t fade. Tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, she got up again to study their opponents and started taking notes. The next day, Yu Ming and Xiao Rui discovered Tong Yao’s notes and began praising her enthusiastically. After a brief chat, the three went their separate ways.

Tong Yao returned to her seat and continued writing notes. Seeing this, Lu Sicheng walked over and mocked her for having too much free time. Though his words were sharp, he still thoughtfully brought her breakfast—along with a pair of slippers. The ZGDX team boarded the bus to the competition venue. On the way, Lu Sicheng read through Tong Yao’s notes and called Lao K over to analyze them. Soon, the team arrived at the venue.

Once both sides took their seats, the match began. ZGDX chose the champions: top lane, Ibaraki Doji; jungle, Yoto Hime; mid lane, Ootengu; ADC, Hyakume; and support, Ichimokuren. KING, on the other hand, picked: top lane, Shuten Doji; jungle, Mannendake; mid lane, Menreiki; bottom lane, White Wolf and Kuro Doji. As the game was about to start, Yu Ming reiterated the team’s strategy. In the waiting room, Lu Yue and the others watched the match nervously.

Back in the game, Lao K and Tong Yao abandoned farming and hid in the bushes. While everyone was puzzled, KING’s Guang entered the jungle to invade. At that moment, Lao K and Tong Yao suddenly launched an attack, catching Guang off guard and eliminating him. Frustrated, A Guang blamed his teammates for not giving information, while the ZGDX players were increasingly impressed by Tong Yao’s strategy notes. As the match progressed, ZGDX completely controlled the opponent’s jungle rhythm.

Their aggressive plays made it seem as if they had map hacks, leaving KING powerless. Before long, ZGDX destroyed KING’s base crystal. In the second game, without a proper counter-strategy, KING had no chance of a comeback. ZGDX easily secured a clean 2-0 victory. After winning, the ZGDX players stepped forward to shake hands with the KING team. A Guang, feeling defeated, expressed his astonishment to Lu Sicheng, admitting his admiration for ZGDX’s pre-match analysis.

However, Lu Sicheng credited all the preparation to Tong Yao. In that instant, A Guang’s opinion of Tong Yao rose significantly. During the post-match interview, the host asked about A Guang’s question. As always, Lu Sicheng credited Tong Yao, but his teasing tone annoyed her. Upset, she packed her things and returned to the waiting room. Inside, the ZGDX players were discussing online comments.

Tong Yao, seeing A Guang being harshly criticized, felt uneasy and asked her teammates why this was happening. They explained the harsh reality of esports to her. Wanting to shift public perception, Tong Yao posted some comments online defending A Guang before leaving the waiting room. As she walked out, she heard noises from the stairwell and curiously went to check. She found A Guang hiding there, crying alone after the loss. Seeing this, she stepped forward to comfort him.

A Guang vented his frustrations, and in response, Tong Yao patiently shared how she was once beaten down by A Tai. The two chatted more and more, and Tong Yao recalled how she, too, was doubted in the past. After comforting A Guang, they walked out together. As soon as they stepped outside, they ran into Lu Sicheng. Seeing that Tong Yao had ignored his calls and was instead hiding with another team’s captain, Lu Sicheng grew furious.

He fired off a rapid barrage of criticism, leaving Tong Yao barely able to get a word in. She could only protest with her eyes. On the way back in the car, Tong Yao casually chatted with the team. Suddenly, deciding to face her challenges head-on, she proposed a match against A Tai. Everyone was shocked, but surprisingly, Lu Sicheng agreed. The team cheered Tong Yao on, while none of them noticed the indulgent smile forming at the corner of Lu Sicheng’s lips.
