Chapter 168 (3)
At 10 pm, Xiao Rui cursed as he got up from bed to open his room door. He was surprised to see the team captain standing outside the door. Lu Sicheng took him to his room. The moment he stepped into that room, he saw a pale Little Fatty collapsed on the bed Xiao Rui stayed there to take care of Little Fatty while Lu Sicheng went out to find a drug store.
At 10:30, Lu Sicheng finally saw a drug store. But before he was able to walk into the store, he received a call from Tong Yao to inform him that there was no need to buy medicine. She, Xiao Rui, and the other teammates with the help of the staff were taking Little Fatty to the hospital. About 15 minutes earlier, Little Fatty passed out while sitting next to the toilet vomiting.
Now the whole thing was getting serious.
When Lu Sicheng rushed to the hospital, the first thing he saw was his teammates and Xiao Rui sitting in a row outside the emergency room. He lifted his wrist to check his watch, it was 11:30 pm, US time. They were going to have a match with a wild card team at noon the next day.
Lu Sicheng frowned but didnt say anything. He went and sat down next to Tong Yao-- --She immediately got closer and gave him a worrisome glance. Lu Sicheng took her hand which was a little cold. He patted her shoulder to comfort her and took his jacket off to put over her shoulder.
They didnt exchange a single word during the whole time.
There was only the sound of clothes rustling.
It was so quiet outside the emergency room that one could hear the sound of a needle dropping on the floor.
After a while, Little Fatty was wheeled out of the emergency room. He had an acute case of food poisoning and had a light fever now-- --Tong Yao was leaning against Lu Sicheng and getting sleepy. She woke up when heard the noise and immediately got up to check on Little Fatty. The normally energetic Little Fatty was now attached to an IV bottle. His face was as white as a sheet and his forehead was covered in a cold sweat from the pain.
Tong Yao searched in her pockets and took out a pack of tissues to wipe the sweat off for Little Fatty. When she turned her head, she found Lu Sicheng and Xiao Rui discussing about reporting the situation to the organizer and asking to use a substitute for tomorrows match-- --
ZGDX had only brought one substitute, Lu Yue. Therefore, Lu Yue was going to play tomorrow.
Fortunately, Riot Games and the organizer of the competition quickly sent over their staff to verify the situation. Once they saw Little Fattys condition, they immediately approved ZGDXs request. An unexpected statement was published that same night which shocked fans both inside and outside of China-- --
[ZGDXs support Pang has been hospitalized due to acute food poisoning and therefore can not attend the match the next day. ZGDX will use a substitute to play the match against the wild card team in the second round group match tomorrow. Since ZGDX hasnt registered any emergency substitute players and the only substitute of the team, Lu, is registered as playing the mid position which can not be changed, the lineup of ZGDX for tomorrows match will be-- --
Top: Cat
Jug: K
Mid: Lu
Sup: Smiling
Adc: Chessman]
The news exploded on all major media platforms.
It was 12 midnight now.
Tong Yao sat in the hallway of the hospital watching the translators, ZGDX staff, and organizers staff walking back and forth. Little Fatty, almost half dead, was in the ward on the other side of the wall
She looked around and Lu Sicheng was nowhere to be found. He was probably hiding in a staircase somewhere to smoke. Tong Yao was totally speechless-- --
Very well, then, happy birthday to me.
This was surely a big surprise gift to her.
