Chapter 71 (1)
When they arrived at the hot pot place, Tong Yao was embroiled in debate at the center of her mind about whether to order the lobster or the 888RMB plate of beef– —
One voice said: “Are you a country bumpkin? Have you never had lobster before?”
Another voice said: “Are you a country bumpkin? Have you never had beef before?”
One voice said: “You can have beef any day.”
Another voice said: “How can anyone eat 888RMB beef everyday? Have you forgotten that you’ve been deducted 120K from your pay?”
One voice said: “Will eating 888RMB beef make you fly?”
Another voice said: “Well I don’t know about that, so I want to try it. Who knows?”
Tong Yao, deep in thought, supported her head with her arm, barely containing the saliva in her mouth. When the bus stopped, she bolted up from her seat and started to get off the bus. She walked a couple of steps before Lu Yue called after her. “What’s wrong with your foot? You’re limping?”
Tong Yao turned her head back, then lowered her head to check her foot. There was a red spot on the back of her right heel where a blister had formed– –It was from a simple reason, the new team shoes she was wearing had chafed the back of her foot.
Tong Yao: “It’s a blister. The new shoes rubbed against my foot.”
Lu Yue: “Oh, are you a mute? Why didn’t you say something about the shoes earlier?”
As Tong Yao limped off the bus, Lu Sicheng came up from behind and used both of his hands to lift her onto the ground.
“All the new shoes are like that. It’s no big deal. I’ll just go buy some bandages from the market close to base when we get back.” Tong Yao glanced over at Lu Sicheng. “My friend set the record shopping in Las Vegas for 12 hours straight. By the fourth hour, her heels had already started chafing and she continued to shop for the next 8 hours, just like a mermaid dancing on the tip of a knife.”
Xiao Rui: “A shopaholic mermaid.”
Ming god: “Is this mermaid you’re talking about our next door mid’s girlfriend?”
Tong Yao nodded. All the men in the group had the same expressions on their faces: Sympathy for Ai Jia.
Only the brothers Lu Sicheng and Lu Yue didn’t seem to be surprised, it looked like they were very used to this kind of behavior from women. Lu Sicheng didn’t say anything, but Lu Yue did: “If spending money would let women stop nagging or looking for trouble, then that means we can live longer. If you think about it this way, then you’ll agree that it’s worthwhile letting them spend the money.”
Tong Yao lifted her foot to kick him: “Yeah, women are all like that, aren’t we cute? I can do that too, but I don’t have the money– –Ah, don’t talk about money, now I suddenly feel chest pain.”
“Serves you right.”
After saying that, Lu Sicheng pulled open the door to the hot pot place. When they walked in the restaurant, they discovered that there were other teams there as well– —
In addition to Tong Yao’s team, there was Team Huawei and Team Qing Dynasty from B group. The two teams were sitting close to each other. Huawei’s Jungler, Li Huanshuo, was leaning on the back of the Qing Dynasty’s Jungler, holding a wine glass in his hand while calling him “gege” in Korean. Behind him, a girl who looked like a staff member was pulling on his sleeve while sneakily taking pictures of the two junglers– —
They looked like as if they were a Jenga tower.
Lu Sicheng: “Look.”
Tong Yao: “What?”
Lu Sicheng: “This guy will always have girls around him.”
Tong Yao: “……”
