Chapter 900: Ruler of Esports 14

Thinking of her performance, Fan Tong could only wait for Tang Wan to officially join the TG Team. But remembering that she was still in her final year of high school, he forced himself to suppress both his anticipation and impatience.

Although many esports players had relatively low academic qualifications, education still mattered in the long run. At the very least, he himself was currently studying in the Computer Science department at Jinda University. After all, no one could rely on esports for their entire life.

…

At the twenty-minute mark, the team secured a decisive advantage. Tang Wan seized the moment, leading the push and quickly destroying the enemy crystal to end the match.

By now, Fan Tong was completely satisfied with her level.

In lower-tier matches, teammates lacked coordination, so Tang Wan had relied heavily on securing kills to build her own advantage. But in high-rank games, where teammates understood teamwork, her performance became even smoother and more controlled.

Looking at her, Fan Tong couldn’t help but smile. “Your gameplay is even better in high-rank matches.”

Tang Wan immediately lowered her gaze slightly, putting on a modest expression. “You’re overpraising me.”

“This isn’t praise—it’s the truth,” Fan Tong said seriously. “Your level is absolutely comparable to professional players. When I go back, I’ll talk to the coach about promoting you directly. I don’t think you even need to go through the youth training camp.”

Tang Wan widened her eyes in surprise. “Is that really okay?”

“There’s no problem,” he replied calmly. “I’ve invested in the club as well, so I have some say. More importantly—your skill deserves it.”

“Then I’ll work even harder,” Tang Wan said obediently.

Seeing her like this, Fan Tong almost couldn’t resist reaching out to ruffle her hair. But since they hadn’t known each other for long, he suppressed the impulse, feeling a trace of regret.

…

With the topic of joining the team settled, Fan Tong found himself reluctant to let the conversation end. After a brief pause, he brought up another topic.

“You’re taking the college entrance exam this year, right? Have you thought about which university you want to apply to?”

But inwardly, he was thinking—if she goes somewhere far away, what happens to us? Long-distance?

To his surprise, Tang Wan answered without hesitation.

“I’m aiming for Jinda.”

Fan Tong’s eyes lit up instantly.

“Really?”

He himself studied at Jinda.

Seeing his reaction, Tang Wan nodded lightly. “It’s closer to home.”

But as she spoke, her gaze lingered on him slightly, as if she wanted to say something more but held back.

Fan Tong’s heart stirred.

Could it be… she chose it because of me?

After all, in the esports circle, he was one of the few who not only made it professionally but also got into one of the top universities in the country. That wasn’t exactly a secret.

As for her reason about “being close to home”… it suddenly sounded more like an excuse.

The more he thought about it, the more confident he felt.

The next moment, his expression softened into a gentle smile. “Then work hard. I study at Jinda—I’ll be waiting for you.”

“Mm!” Tang Wan nodded, her expression carrying a hint of excitement.

That only further convinced Fan Tong of his assumption.

…

After that, he didn’t bring up the game again. Instead, he began asking about her studies in detail, his tone filled with genuine concern.

After all, this wasn’t just about her future—

It was about whether she could make it to his university.
