The release of the group interview video created a small earthquake in the fans circle. Many players and people who worked in the esports business shared the Weibo post on their own. In a very short period of time, the post was shared more than ten thousand times. The responses varied
[My idol said it well. Though we call him hubby all the time, everyone has his or her own life. To like a person should be to wish him a good life, right?]
[Liking can be presumptuous, but love should be with restraint.]
[How the hell is there any correlation between falling in love and playing a good game or not? Huh?!]
[Let me be frank, those fans who harassed Ai Jias girlfriend should be taught a lesson. What does the couples relationship have anything to do with you?]
[Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, well said. My Cheng Ge has a proper outlook on life. Those fans who hang around the gates of club bases everyday to stalk the players should know their limits.]
-- --These were the comments that agreed with Lu Sichengs statement.
[I understand what he said. But theyre paid so well, shouldnt they just play well when theyre competing? Certainly, you can argue that were not the ones paying them.]
[I cant accept the player I like having a girlfriend. Though I know itll happen sooner or later, Ill stop being his fan when it happens.]
[Cant accept Cheng Ge having a girlfriend, its as simple as that.]
[Oh, it doesnt matter. If you have a girlfriend, Ill just stop being your fan.]
[Even if the girlfriend is Marilyn Monroe, Ill still be against it to the end. Certainly if she died early like Marilyn Monroe, then nevermind. Youre welcome to call me a moron, I am one! ! ! ! !]
[..................................................................I understand everything. But all of you who stand on the stage dont really know anything about the humble love of us fans? Come closer to the stage and stay further away from your personal life? Its too selfish to say those words.]
-- --These were in opposition to Lu Sichengs words.
There were some others that seemed to have missed the point-- --
[Damn, damn, damn, my Cheng Ge has someone he likes, ahhhhhh! This is the damn point, my friends!]
[I dont believe Cheng Ge could like a human being : ) I dont believe it.]
[Cheng Ge, youre either streaming at base or in the arena playing competitions everyday and at your base, everyone except Smiling is male, even the cockroach is male. Where can you find a girl you like!]
[Youre just talking nonsense with a straight face.]
[Unless you have something going on with Smiling, otherwise the other possibility would be that support who always takes your siege minion or red buff.]
[Reading what was said above, I suddenly have the feeling that the fact that Smiling is still alive is powerful proof in itself that Cheng Ge likes her.]
......
Riding inside the bus on the way back to the base, Tong Yao read every comment under the post of that interview video. Then she suddenly noticed one which had only a few dozens like-- --
[Have a Cheng-Yao candy today. I know theyve been paired together before, but I still want to say: When Cheng Ge was saying the last sentence, his right hand went under the tablecloth. At the same time, Smilings hand was also under the table. Cheng Ges hand moved a bit, so, what have you two been doing?]
Tong Yao gasped and her hand shook, dropping her phone onto her lap.
