PFC Chapter 325 Sober? Intoxicated?
Chapter 325 Sober? Intoxicated?
Upon being discovered, Ying Xiangyang and Bai Li both froze.
Bai Li's face turned bright red quickly; this was the first time she had been caught being intimate with someone.
Ying Xiangyang stepped back slightly, leaving only one hand around her waist, protecting her to his side.
Although his ears were red, he remained relatively calm.
Seeing Xiao K return, Ying Xiangyang tightened his grip on Bai Li and explained, "It's nothing, it's my teammate Xiao K, he wouldn't dare tell anyone."
Bai Li nodded; she recognized him—he had just been on the field.
When Xiao K heard Ying Xiangyang say this, he was so surprised that he was speechless and his misunderstanding deepened.
At this moment, his heart was filled with the pain of having met the wrong person: When did Yang Shen become so shameless? Does winning the championship mean he can let himself go? What do you mean I dare not tell anyone?!
"I will tell!" Little K retorted seriously, his face tense. He would never submit to Ying Xiangyang's "tyranny," and declared righteously, "I will not only tell the coach, but I will also tell my sister-in-law!"
True love conquers all, long live pure love!
He will surely wield his sword against all heresy!
Little K felt incredibly cool at that moment.
How could there be such a righteous man in the world?
He was so moved he almost cried.
Ying Xiangyang frowned, speechless, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
He put his arm around Bai Li's waist: "Your sister-in-law is right here."
"..."
K's expression instantly cracked.
He glanced at Bai Li's curious expression, then at Ying Xiangyang's slightly narrowed, dangerous eyes.
The more smug they were just now, the more embarrassed they are now.
"Haha." Little K chuckled dryly, scratching his head sheepishly. "Well... uh, hello sister-in-law, I'm Little K, Yang Shen's teammate. What I just said was all bullshit. I'm not good at thinking, I have schizophrenia, I'm a Gemini..."
"Pfft—" Bai Li couldn't help but burst out laughing.
What an interesting mind! How did you come up with so many unrelated titles in such a short time?
She smiled and said, "Hello, Little K, I'm Bai Li."
"Hehe, hello hello, I've heard so much about you." Little K chuckled awkwardly.
During the more than one month of closed training, he had never actually heard of Bai Li's deeds, let alone recognized her.
The phrase "I've long admired you" was simply because I had overheard Ying Xiangyang's phone call and felt somewhat familiar with this "sister-in-law" whom I had never met.
"I'm just here to deliver a message. You can continue. Don't worry, I'm known for my tight-lipped nature; I will never tell anyone."
Just as Xiao K was about to slip away, Ying Xiangyang called out to him, "Wait."
Ying Xiangyang realized that Xiao K's brain was now overloaded, with about 80% of it damaged, causing his speech system to be unable to process the information.
He said with a dark expression, "Continue what? Aren't we going to the victory celebration? Let's go together."
----------------------
The Longyuan team booked the largest private room in the hotel for their victory celebration banquet. In addition to the team members, the coaching staff, logistics personnel, club executives, and others were also present.
It sounds like an internal victory celebration banquet.
Bai Li was a little worried that she might disturb them.
Ying Xiangyang firmly held her hand and whispered in her ear, "Wife, have some self-awareness. If family members aren't insiders, then who is?"
Bai Li blushed and pushed away Ying Xiangyang's face as he leaned closer: "Okay, okay, I know."
This scoundrel has again unauthorizedly classified her as his family member.
In the past, Bai Li would never have done as he wished.
But the villain had just won the championship, so he gave in to him.
--------------------------
The private room was bustling with activity.
The huge round table was laden with delicious food, and everyone's face was beaming with smiles.
When Ying Xiangyang led Bai Li into the private room, they were greeted by this jubilant scene.
Someone shouted, "The Yang God has arrived!"
Almost all eyes were focused on them, especially on Bai Li, whose stunning beauty was being tightly protected by Ying Xiangyang.
The atmosphere instantly became even more heated.
"Holy crap, what's that next to Yang Shen...?"
"Let me introduce you, Yang Shen!"
The monkey was the first to react, excitedly slapping the table and standing up, shouting loudly, "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! It must be sister-in-law!"
Ever since Monkey stumbled upon Ying Xiangyang's long phone conversation, almost everyone in the club knows about his relationship status.
At this moment, two people walked in together, their identities self-evident.
There was no need for Ying Xiangyang to introduce him; Monkey's shout had already ignited the entire audience.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
"Your sister-in-law is so beautiful!"
……
The esports players are all quite young. Perhaps because of their age and profession, they all have trendy looks, with their hair dyed in various colors.
Being called "sister-in-law" by a group of people with yellow, green, purple, and pink hair, Bai Li felt very complicated. In a daze, she felt as if she had accidentally wandered into a gang party.
Although she found it amusing, her strong mental fortitude and seasoned demeanor allowed her to quickly regain her composure and respond to everyone's enthusiasm with a smile.
Don't let their colorful appearance fool you; they're the champion team, having just brought a trophy back for China, and each member is quite wealthy.
Ying Xiangyang maintained his usual cool demeanor, but he tightened his grip on Bai Li's hand. He turned his head and whispered comfortingly in Bai Li's ear, "Don't be nervous, I'm here."
Bai Li felt the power coming from her palm and thought to herself with amusement, "Who's the one who's nervous?"
"Brother Yang, sister-in-law, please have a seat!" Monkey enthusiastically pulled out a chair next to him. "We've been waiting for you!"
Besides the group that was making a fuss, there were also people who were quietly observing. Even after Bai Li sat down, they didn't look away and kept glancing in that direction.
Those around him, seeing his expression, asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"
"Why does my sister-in-law look so familiar?" The team manager stroked his chin, trying to recall where he had seen her before.
"Hmm, now that you mention it, I think so too." The assistant beside him also seemed to be thinking about it.
They are not team members and do not need to undergo closed training; they can still access the internet on a daily basis.
Therefore, they naturally have more access to outside information than the members of these teams.
"Holy crap! I remember now!" the assistant cursed, quickly pulling out his phone to search.
Bai Li's profile immediately popped up on the screen.
Bai Li – President of Day and Night Entertainment, an outstanding young entrepreneur.
Attached to the photo is a news photo of her with her hair up and wearing a formal suit.
The assistant picked up a photo on his phone and compared it to the beautiful woman on the other side of the round table.
My heart trembled violently.
—It's not that they're exactly the same, but the real person looks even better than in the photos.
"Sister-in-law...? Oh no, Mr. Bai!" the assistant stammered.
The manager was also dumbfounded. He had seen the news reports from a few days ago; that person had donated billions of yuan worth of national treasures. If it really was that person…
He immediately stood up to greet her: "Xiangyang, is this... Bai Li, President Bai?"
Ying Xiangyang looked at Bai Li, and seeing her nod, he confirmed, "Manager, let me formally introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Bai Li."
He then introduced Bai Li: "This is Manager Wang from the team."
Bai Li extended her hand gracefully: "Manager Wang, congratulations to Longyuan on winning the championship. Xiangyang is grateful for your and everyone's care."
"You flatter me! Mr. Bai, you're too kind!" the manager quickly returned the handshake.
Ying Xiangyang's girlfriend is actually the president of Day and Night Entertainment, the big shot who donated billions of national treasures!
This kid is really good at hiding his true abilities!
And no wonder this kid scoffed at a contract worth tens of millions...
The manager raised his hand. What right did he have to shake hands with such a person?
Does anyone understand? I feel like my whole hand has suddenly become valuable!
He'd decided he wouldn't wash his hands before returning home; he'd use that hand to scratch a lottery ticket.
"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law?! Day and Night Entertainment? President Bai?!" Little K's voice cracked; he was the most shocked.
After all, he met Bai Li earlier than others, not only because he had more memories, but also because of the misunderstanding.
Now, everyone's eyes in the private room were once again focused on Bai Li.
Everyone's eyes changed.
Compared to the gossipy look in my eyes just now, I am now extremely shocked, incredulous, and deeply awe-inspiring!
President of a leading entertainment company!
Donating national treasures worth billions!
His merit will last for generations!
These words, when combined, can leave a person completely dizzy and disoriented.
The atmosphere at the subsequent victory celebration banquet completely changed.
Although the champagne was still being opened and the laughter was still ringing out, everyone's gaze was focused on Bai Li, seemingly casually but with extreme caution and undisguised awe.
"Sister-in-law, President Bai, I'm Monkey, Yang's teammate. Nice to meet you, let me offer you a toast!"
The monkey's seat was closest to Bai Li's, and taking advantage of its proximity, it came over to strike up a conversation.
His thinking was simple: "My God, such an important person is actually having dinner at the same table as me. I have to toast him."
"Then what about me?" Bai Li glanced at the drink in her glass.
"No need! You can have water!" the monkey readily agreed.
After clinking glasses, Monkey cautiously asked, "Mr. Bai... how... did you get your hands on those national treasures?"
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Li pondered, "It was a coincidence."
The details involved are really too numerous to mention.
The monkey immediately understood: the big boss is indeed a big boss, mysterious and low-key, there must be many secrets that ordinary people like them cannot know.
The monkey started it, and everyone else eagerly gathered around, holding their glasses:
"Mr. Bai, I also want to toast you! I am..."
"President Bai..."
Seeing that more and more people were gathering, Ying Xiangyang frowned slightly: "Alright, that's enough."
The crowd then calmed down somewhat.
But giving up on toasting Bai Li doesn't mean they'll let Ying Xiangyang off the hook.
Ying Xiangyang, as the MVP champion, was already the focus of attention tonight, not to mention that because of Bai Li's appearance, he became the target of everyone's "attack".
Bai Li doesn't drink alcohol, but it wouldn't be appropriate for him to avoid his brothers' drinks in the sunshine.
He drank it very readily.
One cup after another.
Bai Li glanced at Ying Xiangyang's face with a hint of worry.
Ying Xiangyang appeared calm, showing no signs of being drunk.
But she still gently tugged at Ying Xiangyang's sleeve and whispered, "Drink less."
Ying Xiangyang also turned his head to look at her, his eyes filled with undisguised laughter. He secretly squeezed her hand under the table and gently scratched her palm with his fingertips, with a childlike intimacy.
Actually, Bai Li should have been alert when Ying Xiangyang didn't answer her at that moment.
However, Ying Xiangyang was drunk, almost as if he weren't drunk, and completely bewitched her.
Moreover, she had never seen Ying Xiangyang drunk before; this was truly the first time.
This led Bai Li to later reflect on the incident and exclaim, clutching her aching back, "What a blunder!"
But that's a story for another time. After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became even more lively.
The team members started joking with each other and sharing some embarrassing stories from training matches.
Ying Xiangyang had been given a lot of drinks by his teammates, but he still looked very clear-headed. He was just propping his head up and smiling at Bai Li, looking less cool and more like a lazy young man than usual.
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was laughing and joking, he quietly took the MVP medal, which he always wore around his neck and which symbolized his highest personal honor, out of his collar.
He didn't speak, but simply took it off, took Bai Li's hand, and gently placed the medal, a symbol of honor, into her palm.
It was heavy, carrying his body heat.
The warm touch made Bai Li pause slightly: "For me?"
Ying Xiangyang smiled and leaned slightly closer, as if presenting a treasure, and hung the medal around her neck.
Bai Li looked down at the gold medal hanging on her chest, and a thought struck her.
The gold medals shone brilliantly under the lights.
She certainly understood what this medal meant.
—It is something that all esports players pursue.
This also serves as proof of Ying Xiangyang's peak career achievement.
Now, without hesitation, he handed it over to himself.
She took a deep breath, raised her head again, and met Ying Xiangyang's deep and focused eyes, where she was clearly reflected, filled with undisguised love.
All the noise seemed to fade away at that moment.
Bai Li clutched the medal, still warm from his touch, and tucked it into her collar, flashing a smile: "Received, my championship, I've hidden it well."
The medal was also affixed to her chest—the closest place to her heart.
The white pear is a precious national treasure that has been donated for billions.
That's true.
But for her now, this medal is far more precious than those billions.
Ying Xiangyang smiled a pure and innocent smile, as if he had finally fulfilled his most important wish.
When Bai Li truly realized that Ying Xiangyang was actually drunk, he stretched out his long arm and hugged her, resting his chin on the top of her head and rubbing against her contentedly.
He would never hug or kiss me in public, especially not at the team's victory celebration.
Considering that Ying Xiangyang's vocal cords seemed to have disappeared from the very beginning, she immediately realized that something terrible had happened!
To prevent Ying Xiangyang from doing anything more "shocking", Bai Li immediately called Ah Hu and the others over and took Ying Xiangyang away first.
The other team members wanted to help, but seeing the burly men, they immediately withdrew their hands and quickly said goodbye: "Goodbye, Boss Bai! Take care! We'll leave Yang Shen to you!"
With Boss Bai around, what do they have to worry about? Boss Bai's safety level is extremely high!
-----------------------
Late at night, in the presidential suite of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Berlin.
Top-quality soundproofing materials create an absolutely private space, with only the extremely faint sound of the central air conditioning system.
