"I'll take the lead, Taotao! I'll take the lead!" Gao Lingwei said, her expression serious.
Most people called Rong Taotao by his nickname, which was also 'Taotao.' Only Gao Lingwei used the 'Tao' from his given name. Since the two were pronounced identically, no one ever noticed the subtle difference.
Rong Taotao looked annoyed. "They're ignoring me! How dare they ignore me! I'm just going to mess with them out of spite!"
Gao Lingwei: "..."
'Are they ignoring you? They don't have the luxury of looking away—I have their full attention. They have no choice but to face me!'
Gao Lingwei took a deep breath, suppressing the roiling emotions within her, and said again, "I'll take the lead."
"Got it, got it," Rong Taotao said, rushing toward Gao Lingwei. "Behind you!"
The pair of Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei cleared a path along the left baseline, instantly tearing through and sending two second-echelon teams out of bounds.
