Her eyes flickered with joy as she awaited the arrival of the team . The moment the team walked onto the field, the crowd erupted in cheers, and Le Yao , not the one to hold back , joined in enthusiastically ,shouting, ''Captain ! I love you ! You're the best captain !'' along with all the other hyped up fans around her.
But then, as the initial excitement died down and Le Yao pulled out her camera to snap some pics of her hot captain, Qian Mu—her fellow friend—turned to her with a mischievous grin.
"Yao Yao! Don't you think player no. 7 is the hottest of them all?!" Qian Mu, who had been kind of bored up until that moment, suddenly sparked with new energy.
Le Yao blinked, completely stunned. "What? Who's player 7? Nah, it's definitely the captain who's the hottest,!" She was practically ready to argue the point to the death, convinced that the Captain Su was the undisputed king of this stadium.
But Qian Mu wasn't having any of it. "Are you serious??!" she exclaimed in disbelief, as the whole crowd around them began chanting for player 7, and Le Yao's gaze shifted to the field.
"Who's FY?" she thought, seeing all the fans getting hyped for the mysterious player. Qian Mu, quick to seize the opportunity, whipped out her phone and began frantically searching for information on player no. 7. "Yao Yao, look! Player no. 7 is the ACE of the team , He is young! A Prodigy Player ! , and he's the best-looking one!"
she said, eyes sparkling as she nudged Yao Yao excitedly, showing her all the pictures on her screen.
Yao Yao, however, was not about to be swayed. "What kind of nonsense is this?" she scoffed, rolling her eyes dramatically before turning her attention right back to Captain " Captain Su! I love you! , marry me!" she shouted once more, as if the whole stadium needed to hear it—her heart set on the captain no matter what.
Meanwhile, Qian Mu was over there still fangirling about player no. 7, and the whole scene felt like a hilarious tug-of-war between two besties with wildly different opinions on who was the hottest on the field. The rivalry was real, but the love for their players? Unbeatable!
So YaoYao glanced over to the far side of their team's group. The duo always followed everyone's reactions carefully, just to avoid standing out. If the puck went into the opposing team's goal, they would let out a disappointed "Oh." If others cheered in excitement, they would echo the same excitement.
Yao Yao nudged the man sitting beside her.
"What's the score?" she asked.
At first glance, Yao Yao's beauty easily turned heads — delicate features, soft eyes, and an appearance that made people expect her to be gentle, docile, even ladylike. But that illusion shattered the moment one spent any time with her. She could fiercely scold the opposing team without hesitation, burst into laughter at the smallest joke, and had a way of turning even creepy or embarrassing stories into something to laugh about. She was bright, bold, and full of life — not the quiet, graceful type people often assumed.
The man beside her, who had originally tried to flirt with her, had quickly come to realize that romance wasn't the door to approach her through. She was more like that rare kind of friend you could joke with about anything, share weird habits with, or even talk about the most random topics without fear of judgment. Yet, ironically, if someone was to fall for her, it would be because of this very personality — the charm that went far deeper than her looks.
'' 3:2 !''
" Better suited to pass me the chicken," he joked with a grin.
By now, all four of them had joined in, dipping their fried chicken into Coke, fully convinced by Lei Yao Yao's quirky habit.
''Aye ! Crazy , lead by one ! , Who scored it though ?'' she followed ,the pair had understood after a while that the two ladies didn't know anything about the game nor were paying attention , one was looking at the Captain while the other looked at Player 7 .
''ITS PLAYER 7 WHO SCORED !! Aye Ye Songze , Ji Shu - what's his position ??!'' Qian Mu excitedly said as she looked towards the player 7 again ,
Wasn't THIS Player 7 such a cutie ?? she thought as her eyes sparkled .
It was Worth to come here ! Ji Shu particularly was really not here to hit on girls ,but rather for the game ,he replied enthusiastically
''HE IS THE CENTER FORWARD !''
Finally, after some time, both periods of the game — each twenty minutes long — had come to an end. The small break had officially begun.
In the look-alike camp, Lei Yao Yao's face lit up as she appeared , clearly overjoyed. Moments like these made her feel unusually lucky, almost as if she were a programmer who had successfully passed through a tricky bug. Unable to contain her happiness, she even made a small gesture — placing her hand over her chest like she had been struck by Cupid's arrow — before breaking into a little happy dance right there in the middle of the camp.
Seeing her so lively, Ye Songze approached with a patient smile, trying to seize the moment. "You're really in a good mood, huh?" he said, casually inching closer.
Yao Yao, still twirling slightly, laughed, "Hahaha of course , the Captain was so cool !" . Ye Songze eyes twitched at her words
''-''
'The Captain was in bad Shape today instead !'
''Yes , Captain was wonderful !'' he followed her words ,he still said .
Meanwhile, not far from them, Ji Shu and Qian Mu were deep in conversation, completely ignoring Ye Songze subtle flirting attempt.
"I swear, player number seven's positioning is insane," Ji Shu commented seriously.
Qian Mu seriously nodded, "Yeah, did you see that fake-out in the second period? The defenders didn't even see it coming , even a amateur like me can see he is probably the best here !"
''Yes, even though FY joined recently , he had been trained since very young ''He continued .
''His player points would definitely be highest for this game !''
'' What's Player Points ?!'' Qian Mu asked
''In the whole league , the most points of players are counted ,he will most probably become MVP ! ''
''COOL!''
They continued analysing the game, completely immersed, while Yeh Songze kept trying to steal a few more words with Yao Yao — who, true to her nature, seemed half-aware of his intentions and half-lost in her excitement for the game, as she pulled another snack half ignoring him as she munched on her food happily .
