G.o.d's Left Hand - Book 1: Chapter 17

“Do you have any plan to continue competing? Nowadays, a lot of tournaments have awards for female teams.”

“No plan.” Ai Qing shook her head. “Didn’t you retire too?”

“Yeah,” the commentator sighed. “I officially retired last year. I work at a bank now. All my free time is devoted to doing commentary for various compet.i.tions. Sometimes, for specially good compet.i.tions, I’m always sure to be there even if I have to pay for the trip out of my own pocket. My esports dream, I figure I won’t wake up from it all my life.”

“I have always felt sorry for all of you.” The commentator was becoming rather emotional. “Everyone of you looked like you had such bright futures, but then you all disappeared.”

“Luckily, Dt is back.” She looked over to the contestants area not too far from where they stood and discovered that Dt was walking towards her.

“Yeah.” The commentator also turned around to take a look. “We have too few world champions. If we can have more world champions and more gold medals, then esports will be definitely become more mainstream.”

Dt was taking his time to walk over and stopped right next to them.

The commentator delightedly patted his shoulder. “After news about today’s Guangzhou compet.i.tion is out, all the predictions on major forums will absolutely have an upheaval. Without Grunt, you’ll definitely be the champion here. After you get signed up with a club, you’ll be a pro. Keep it up.”

“Thanks.”

His answer was very simple and the eyes under the rim of his cap were placid.

Ai Qing was afraid that the commentator had felt embarra.s.sed, she cleared her throat and half jokingly said, “Dt always acts cool. After we won the champions.h.i.+p in Singapore, a bunch of the media tried to interview him and asked many questions. They asked him what he thought about the sponsors, how he felt about the compet.i.tion, how he thought about his opponents, all he answered was two words --- ---” She imitated the way he talked and lowered her voice. “Not bad.”

Even Dt curved up the sides of his mouth after hearing what she said.

“Gotcha, gotcha. I’ve met people who talk even less.” The commentator laughed. “I have to go for the raffle. You guys talk. I have to go back on stage.”

He turned around and ran up to the stage afterwards.

People were continuously coming back from lunch. When they pa.s.sed by the two, they all looked at Dt with surprise. It’s hard to be as calm as he was, without giving even the tiniest reaction to the attention.

Ai Qing tilted her head, trying to look at his eyes from under rim of his cap. “How do you feel about this morning?”

“Not bad.”

He answered without thinking.

The two looked at each other for 3 seconds, Ai Qing was the one who first bursted out laughing.
