lu zhen took the company’s special car to the competition venue—beijing

gymnasium. then, she walked through the staff passageway to the backstage. backstage, lu zhen looked through the curtain and could see that the stage in front was filled with the audience. there seemed to be thousands of people, and there were some media reporters and important guests sitting in front of the audience.

the stage was located in the middle of the gymnasium, and it covered an area about the size of a medium-sized football field. at this moment, the four teams that had entered the finals were already sitting in the preparation area. there was a huge display screen at the back of the stage, and the display screen kept changing images. sometimes, it was the scene in the audience, and sometimes, it was the situation of the contestants.

the competition today was a real-time live-stream across the country. the area to the right of the display screen displayed the current situation in the live-stream. the live-stream data showed that the number of online viewers in the live-stream had reached more than 30 million. this number was still rising.

e-sports enthusiasts from all over the country welcomed the most important day for them. they excitedly posted bullet comments and actively participated in the prize quiz. the atmosphere in the live-stream was very lively.

among the countless comments, a few comments related to lu zhen suddenly appeared—

“i heard that lu zhen is going to compete with professional players today.

guess if she will die more than 20 times?”

“the person in front, you really don’t know the ways of the world. lu zhen is the official celebrity spokesperson. the professional players will definitely give in to her. when the time comes, it will just be a fake competition.”

“fake competition? how boring. if you ask me, they shouldn’t have found a spokesperson. what’s the use? we don’t like to watch people from the entertainment industry when we play games. anyway, i’ll leave after the finals. who wants to see lu zhen fight a fake competition!”

“have you heard? after lu zhen became the spokesperson, she seduced team a-star’s ghost. the photos of the two of them dating a few days ago have been posted online.”

“ghost? why would a good young man date a popular celebrity? can he focus on competing to win the world championship?”

xiaoxiao’s face darkened when she saw the comments about lu zhen. she was afraid that lu zhen would see the comments, so she kept standing beside lu zhen to block her view.

lu zhen really did not pay much attention to the comments. she was

memorizing the lines she would say when she went on stage.

she had written the lines herself and had already memorized them a few times yesterday. however, in order not to make any mistakes, lu zhen would memorize them a few more times before going on stage.

on the right side of the stage not far away, coach liang of the a-star team frowned and asked the vice-captain, “where’s ghost? why isn’t he here yet?”

the vice-captain scratched his head. “maybe he slept in and woke up late? the captain is in the same dormitory as him. he should be brought over later.”

“this little bastard is really unreliable. today is the national finals, but he’s still so lazy!” coach liang said angrily.

“ghost, can you hurry up? if you’re late, the coach will scold me when he scolds you.” the captain of the a-star team looked at ghost helplessly.

ghost yawned, ate the last bite of his omelet, and stood up. “the opening ceremony will take at least half an hour. it’s so boring every year. why would we go so early? are we going to sit there like monkeys and be admired?”

“the opening ceremony is very boring, but lu zhen will come this year. i’m still looking forward to it.” the captain’s eyes lit up.

when ghost heard lu zhen’s name, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the captain in shock. “what? lu zhen is really coming? why didn’t you say so earlier! you’re really annoying me. hurry up and leave!”

“don’t you know? i thought you were both in a relationship. you must have known.” the captain looked at ghost jealously. “i really don’t understand why lu zhen likes you.”

ghost’s eyes widened, and for a moment he thought he’d misheard. “what did you say? what do you mean, dating?”

“what kind of expression is that? your photo with lu zhen has been posted online. don’t you know? coach liang doesn’t know about this yet. if he finds out that you’re dating the spokesperson, he’ll definitely reprimand you. be mentally prepared. ”

ghost was dumbfounded.

ghost didn’t usually go online. other than playing games, he only watched anime at the club. yesterday night, he trained for more than three hours and didn’t pay attention to what happened online at all.

he had no idea that he and lu zhen had become a rumored couple!

after the shock and confusion passed, a rather silly smile appeared on ghost’s face. his smile widened until the captain couldn’t stand it anymore. he slapped him hard on the head.. “will you stop smiling so dirty!”
