Book 3: Glory on the Other Side

Chapter 25

Hit and run tactics was also Dt’s bread and b.u.t.ter.

It was his favorite tactic to gank all over the map back in DotA.

Unfortunately, although Dt’s tactics against Buff was similar,
his two teammates were too weak.  So this time it wasn’t exactly
hit and run tactics…...He had modified his usual strategy to this
new tactic in such a short time period……

He was truly suited to being a team captain.

He abandoned his preferences and chose the best tactic to adapt
to the situation.

Ai Qing put her hands inside her jacket pockets and left with Slide
and All.

Before she left, she glanced at Dt who was being questioned by a
group of commentators.  All the cheer and applause at this moment
belonged to you and K&K, so enjoy it.  She looked around the front
rows searching for Gun, but she couldn’t find him.

Had he already left?

“Two snipers. I bet we’ll be seeing a new meta online soon.”  Slide
commented with a smile.

They walked out of the stadium one after another.  Ai Qing was thinking
about how to find an excuse to sneak out as she swung her name tag
around.  “It’s very rare to see this kind of high level play with two snipers.  
But it’ll be obsolete the moment the match ends, it’s impossible to use
again at an international compet.i.tion.”

“That’s why, sometimes luck is very important for the drawings.”  Slide
pondered.  “If a team is unlucky enough to encounter all top teams at
the drawing, then all the fundamental tactics will be exposed a few days
into the compet.i.tion and it will be very difficult to win the last match.”

That was right.  Luck.

It was needless to say that luck was of great important to a team.

Especially when it was during round robin tournaments……

As they spoke, they happened to see K&K’s A team walking out from
the side door one by one.  That was the pa.s.sage for compet.i.tion teams,
safely away from the reach of the fans.  There were several commentators,
referees and other teams walking out with them together.  Ai Qing glanced
at them and found the girl who was at the beach last night. She was happily
chatting with Grunt while glancing at Dt from time to time.

Uhm…...she was pursuing Dt quite vigorously.

Yet the person who was being pursued was very prudent.  He didn’t
even bother looking at her and walked out directly to get on the bus
rented by K&K.

Was he going back to the hotel?

Ai Qing guessed.

Perhaps it was more convenient to go back to the hotel, because she
didn’t need to find an excuse at all.

Half an hour later, she was browsing the comments on the European
forum in her own hotel room.  The man who had just won the match
was right in front of her, leisurely peeling an apple……

She leaned on the edge of the table, looking at web pages with her
hands supporting her chin.

She could see him with the corner of her eyes.

She focused her eyes back on the web page the moment he raised
his eyes.
“Peeled the apple.”  He told her,  “Do you want to cut it into pieces
or just eat it whole?”

“Just eat it whole……”  She answered,  “It’s too much trouble to cut
it into pieces.”

“No trouble at all.”  He thought she meant eating it in pieces but
afraid that it was too troublesome for him to cut it.  So he didn’t ask
her and began cutting it into pieces on plate and went to get a toothpick.

He stuck the toothpick into the apple piece and gave to her.

Ai Qing took it, but he held onto her hand before she could eat any.

She looked in confusion, mentally storing all the questions she was
going to ask about his tactics.  Both of them remained still for a while.
 Finally he moved, bent down, and got close to her…...his breathing
was shallow and he watched her face.  He didn’t see any resistance
from her……

So, could I?

When Ai Qing finally realized and was about to dodge, he had already
stretched out one hand to the back of her head.  Don’t hide, Ai Qing.  
Suddenly he felt her breath swept through his lips, he gave in to his
feelings.  He went into a kiss without another word.

……

Ai Qing was dazed.

She didn’t move and he had covered her eyes with his hand. She
fell into darkness, heightening the sensation on her lips.  His
movement on her lips was slow and exploring, exploring……

Her heart stopped.

……

“Don’t stick out your tongue……”  She suddenly spoke.

He stopped immediately.

Then she pulled down his hand.  Ai Qing shied away with a red
face and giggled,  “I’m joking------”

Before she could get away, his hands wrapped around her.  He
kissed again.  She murmured, whatever she tried to say was
m.u.f.fled by the kiss.  The tip of his tongue swept over deep inside
her mouth.  He tangled slightly for a little while as his heart thumped
madly in his chest.  He moved apart and exhaled a deep breath.  
He felt a little bit tight in his chest.

He might not be dizzy yet, but he felt that everything in front of
him was swaying.

He looked at her lips and he wanted more……

So, he continued.
