On the stage, the Chinese team stood together, all of them smiling, even the usually serious Zhou Lei. Lin Yue covered her mouth to hide her laugh, but her eyes sparkled.
Bai Yu raised his fist high in the air. Meng Hao nodded proudly toward the crowd.
Gu Jin stood still, her hands behind her back, but her gaze swept over the audience like she was memorizing the moment.
"Captain Gu Jin!" a man yelled from somewhere in the crowd. "You are our golden alchemist!"
"She's better than golden! She's diamond!" another man shouted, earning laughter from everyone around him.
Zhou Lei leaned closer to Gu Jin and whispered, "They're going to talk about you for decades after this."
Gu Jin's lips curved just slightly. "They should talk about all of us. This was a team victory."
Meanwhile, the England team was packing up their tools.
