Chapter 88 First Time Sticking Together!
Seeing Lin Mo surrounded by three girls not far away, the factory manager, Meiko, and A Guang on the other side had their eyes practically gleaming with envy.
"No way—Mingkai, isn't your information seriously flawed?"
Meiko swallowed hard, nudged the factory manager next to her with her elbow, and whispered, "Didn't you say that Mozi was treated like a cash cow that night? What kind of ATM gets this kind of treatment? How can paying the bill produce this kind of result?"
The factory manager was also looking utterly bewildered.
He looked at the U-shaped pillow Rita had given Lin Mo, and Yu Shuang gently reminded Lin Mo to drink warm water. Even Zhou Shuyi, who was usually very outspoken, spoke in a lower voice in front of Lin Mo.
Is this even scientifically sound?!
"How should I know—" the factory manager gritted his teeth. "Could it be that the meal that night was particularly expensive? Did Xiao Mo spend all his savings on it and move them?"
"Come on, you two!" A-Guang mercilessly exposed them from the side. "Is it so hard to admit that someone is charming? Look at Mo-Zi's face, and then look at us. He's called talented and good-looking, while we're just internet addicts!"
"Back in my day, I was a social butterfly in the esports world, you know!" the factory manager retorted defiantly, but his eyes remained fixed on Lin Mo, filled with envy.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo, at the center of the storm, sat on a leather sofa, appearing calm and collected on the surface, but inwardly he was extremely cautious.
"Little brother, it's autumn to early winter in Brazil right now. Although it's quite hot during the day, there's a big temperature difference between day and night. You can't wear short sleeves like that; you'll easily catch a cold."
Yu Shuang sat to Lin Mo's left, and as she spoke, she took out a shawl that still smelled faintly of perfume from her handbag. "I'll put this on in the waiting room first, so I don't catch a cold from the air conditioning."
"Thank you, widow, you're so thoughtful." Lin Mo smiled as she accepted the gift, the unique fragrance of a mature woman instantly lingering in her nostrils.
Rita on the right was immediately displeased when she saw this.
She glanced at the shawl in Lin Mo's hand, raised her chin, and said, "Brother Mo, when you get on the plane, wear the U-shaped pillow I gave you. I specially bought it; it's made of latex memory foam. For a 20+ hour flight, I guarantee your neck won't ache!"
As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, her eyes glancing at Yu Shuang almost imperceptibly.
"Absolutely, I'll definitely wear the amazing gadget that Sister Ta gave me the whole time." Lin Mo quickly handed Rita a glass of water and gave her an OK sign.
"Hey, you two, stop acting like you're sending your son off on a long trip, okay?"
Across from her, Zhou Shuyi, with her legs crossed, couldn't help but complain, "Mo Shen is going to dominate the battlefield! Mo Shen, ignore all this nonsense. When we get there, I'll treat you to the strongest Brazilian rum!"
"Sister Zhou is so generous, but we're prohibited from drinking before the competition. Let's wait until we win the championship before we drink," Lin Mo replied politely.
Three women make a drama, and Lin Mo, caught in the middle, seems to be enjoying himself. But he must ensure that he treats them all equally and not offend any of them.
Especially Yu Shuang and Rita.
These two are my main targets for seduction.
Shortly after, the airport announcement system announced boarding.
As the number one seed and official team representing LPL, everyone was in business class.
After passing through security, the group finally boarded the giant passenger plane bound for South America.
Coincidentally, Lin Mo's seat was arranged in the area where the official commentary and hosting team was located.
Even more coincidentally, Lin Mo's seat was by the window, and sitting next to him was Rita.
Across the aisle were Yu Shuang and Zhou Shuyi.
Upon seeing the seating arrangement, the factory manager and Meiko in the back row exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves that this kid must have bribed someone.
"Brother Mo, would you like to sit inside or outside?" Rita looked at Lin Mo, unable to hide her smile.
"I'll sit inside, so you won't have to sleep by the window." Lin Mo put his luggage down and sat in the window seat.
"Why?" Rita asked.
"Because you can rely on me."
"Tch, as if I wouldn't need you if I sat inside." Rita ignored Lin Mo's flirting and frankly expressed her feelings.
The plane took off quickly, and as it climbed higher, the view of Shanghai outside the window gradually transformed into a sea of starlight before disappearing into the clouds.
Long-haul international flights are tedious and tiring.
Two or three hours after takeoff, the cabin lights gradually dimmed, and most passengers put on eye masks to prepare for rest.
Lin Mo took out the U-shaped pillowcase that Rita had given him, put it around his neck, and adjusted it into a comfortable position.
I must say, this pillow is indeed very soft, and it has the same light fruity scent as Rita's.
Lin Mo had just closed his eyes when he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder.
He slightly opened his eyes and turned his head to look.
Rita's head slid down little by little with the slight turbulence of the plane, eventually resting steadily on his shoulder.
The faint fragrance emanating from Rita wafted into my nostrils.
Lin Mo's lips twitched slightly, thinking to himself, "They're already leaning on me before they're even asleep!"
He glanced at the factory manager's seat and found that the manager was staring at him with wide eyes.
Lin Mo winked at the factory manager, whose eyes widened even more —
Lin Mo ignored the factory manager, turned around, grabbed the small blanket provided by the airline, unfolded it with one hand, and gently covered Ri with it.
On its body.
During this process, his fingers inevitably touched the back of Rita's hand.
Rita grabbed Lin Mo's two fingers tightly in her hand, a faint smile even appearing on her lips.
Lin Mo felt the warmth from her fingers, and a smile appeared on her lips. She let her hold her fingers and closed her eyes again.
[Ding! Detected a 1% increase in the target character Rita's progress, total progress: 92%!]
Lin Mo smiled as he heard the system notification.
Come to think of it, this was probably the first time Rita and I had ever been intimate in front of people we knew.
Thinking about it, Lin Mo closed his eyes and prepared to rest.
The long flight of more than twenty hours passed quietly amidst layovers in the Middle East, takeoffs again, drowsiness, and occasional hushed conversations.
"Dear passengers, the plane is about to land. Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts."
After an unknown amount of time, the flight attendant's announcement in both Chinese and English came over the loudspeaker in the cabin.
Lin Mo pulled back the sunshade, and the blinding sunlight streamed in through the window.
Outside the window, a vast expanse of azure Atlantic Ocean and rolling green mountains come into view.
A colossal statue of Jesus looms out from the distant mountains, overlooking this tropical city.
Rio de Janeiro!
The venue for the 2017 MSI Mid-Season Invitational is almost here!
"Wow! What a beautiful sea!" Rita was also awakened by the sunlight. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, leaned to the window and looked down, exclaiming in amazement.
Because they were so close, her hair brushed against Lin Mo's cheek, tickling him and carrying a hint of languid sleepiness.
"It's quite beautiful, but the temperature outside must be just as beautiful." Lin Mo stretched as he looked down at the sun-baked land.
The plane landed smoothly.
As the entire EDG team and official staff pushed their luggage out of the gates of Rio de Janeiro Airport, a wave of heat mixed with the smell of the sea hit them instantly.
"My God—this is like a giant steamer!" Ah Guang exclaimed. "Who could stand this?!"
Welcome to Brazil!!!
"EDG! EDG! EDG!"
Before everyone could adjust to the hot weather, a cheer suddenly erupted outside the arrival hall.
A group of local Brazilian fans, dressed in revealing outfits and holding up colorful support signs, along with Chinese international students, were waving and screaming wildly in this direction.
Brazilian esports fans are known for their enthusiasm and exuberance. Several hot Brazilian female fans even blew kisses at Clearlove and shouted, "Clearlove! I love you!"
"Holy crap, these foreign fans are wild!" Meiko was taken aback by the scene.
Lin Mo waved to the fans in a natural and generous manner, which immediately drew another round of screams.
"Tch, attracting attention." Rita, walking behind, muttered under her breath as she saw this, and very naturally reached out to help Lin Mo grab the other handle of his suitcase. "Hurry up, it's so hot!"
Abu had already contacted the official event bus company.
Everyone quickly got into the car, and the cool air conditioning finally brought them back to life.
The bus drove along the coastal highway towards the hotel, with the famous Copacabana Beach visible outside the window, filled with tourists sunbathing in bikinis and young people playing beach soccer.
Lin Mo and the others watched intently.
"Everyone," Abu said, standing at the front of the bus and clapping his hands to draw everyone's attention back.
"Exotic scenery is nice, but don't forget why we're here!"
Abu looked at everyone and smiled, "The MSI qualifying rounds and group stage are about to begin."
"Get some rest and adjust to the time difference. We'll schedule two practice matches tomorrow afternoon!"
Hearing Abu's words, the EDG players, who were already somewhat tired and immersed in the exotic scenery, became even more listless.
Half an hour later, the bus slowly came to a stop in front of a luxury hotel in downtown Rio de Janeiro.
The event organizers booked several floors of this hotel specifically to accommodate participating teams and staff from various competition areas.
When the room cards were being distributed in the lobby, Lin Mo glanced at the card in his hand—1208.
"Brother Mo, you guys are staying on the twelfth floor?" Rita dragged her suitcase over, glanced at his room card, and said with some regret, "My sister-in-law and I were assigned to the sixteenth floor, not the same floor."
"It's fine, we're all in the same building anyway, it only takes a few seconds to go up or down the elevator." Lin Mo smiled.
"It's a deal then, come visit us when you have time!" Yu Shuang waved with a smile, then followed the other officials into the elevator.
After receiving their room keys, Lin Mo and A Guang were assigned a standard double room.
After more than twenty hours of trekking, everyone was exhausted and had no energy left to continue.
After a quick shower and drawing the blackout curtains, Lin Mo and A Guang collapsed onto the bed and instantly fell asleep.
I slept exceptionally well that night.
When Lin Mo opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside.
He checked his phone and saw it was 7:30 p.m. local time.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Xiao Mo! A Guang! Are you awake? Come out and look for food!" The factory manager's loud voice came from outside the door.
