Chapter 73 (2)
Tong Yao: “It would be more believable if you hadn’t spoken so harshly– –Even I think you sound like you’re harassing him.”
“Oh.” Lu Sicheng said: “What do think Little Fatty thought we were doing?”
Tong Yao: “……”
Lu Sicheng: “Still think I’m harassing him?”
Tong Yao: “…………”
Tong Yao lowered her head and stayed quiet.
Lu Sicheng yawned, lifted the blanket off himself as he stood up. He went over to the refrigerator to take out a can of cold cola. After taking a sip, noticing that Tong Yao was turned sideways looking at him with a serious look on her face, he paused and asked as if he had just remembered something: “What were you looking at me for?”
Tong Yao: “……Today’s Tuesday.”
Lu Sicheng: “En.”
Tong Yao: “There’s no training session.”
Lu Sicheng: “En?”
Tong Yao lifted her hand, with a little unease, and pulled her hair behind her ear. The sunlight shone through the window on her and Lu Sicheng could see from his angle the side of her fair colored cheek– –And he could see that her earlobe was turning pink……
Lu Sicheng mover his eyes away, poured the cola down his mouth as his Adam’s apple moved up and down.
After a long while, he heard his team’s mid slowly started talking: “I was thinking that since we don’t have much to do today, I can go with you to the market to buy a goldfish– –But you hadn’t slept last night because you were playing ranked games. I think perhaps– –”
Lu Sicheng: “……”
Lu Sicheng threw the empty can into the trash, making a crisp clunk that interrupted Tong Yao. He took a glance at Tong Yao who was sitting on the floor next to the couch. After a long while, he flatly said: “Yeah, ok. Give me half an hour, I need to shower and change.”
Tong Yao: “……”
Lu Sicheng looked down at his own hands and rubbed his fingers together. Then he said heartlessly: “Please wash your hair as well before we go out.”
Tong Yao: “………….”
Lu Sicheng then went upstairs, opened the door, and shut the door close.
With the thud of the closing door, Tong Yao suddenly shivered as if she had just realized something– –Her brain slowly began to function again until she realized:……………………………….Lu Sicheng had agreed to go out with her to the market.
Tong Yao: “………………………………………….”
It felt like something exploded in her brain. She even forgot to retort back that her hair wasn’t greasy at all. Her brain was occupied by the fact that “he agreed to go to the market with her.” Tong Yao stood up in a daze and floated upstairs as if there were multi-colored clouds under her feet– —
……
She went upstairs, took a shower, put on facial cream, blew dry her hair, put on body lotion, and put on some makeup.
Tong Yao opened her closet to check, all she had inside the closet were t-shirts and pants. She closed the closet in despair– –After a few seconds, she came to the realization that was her entire collection of clothes. She quietly opened the closet again and began searching for clothing which weren’t black and white, didn’t have strange words at the front, didn’t have ugly cartoon characters on it, weren’t team uniforms, and didn’t look like men’s clothing. Finally all she had left on the bed was a bunch of shirts that even a high schooler would find boring. She stared at them in thought.
She didn’t know that she had so few shirts.
She regretted never buying some skirts before.
She kicked all the clothes on the bed off then rolled onto the bed. She took out her cell phone and sent a message to Jinyang on WeChat: “Am I a woman after all.” She stopped moving the moment she pressed the button to send the message– —
Both her eyes brightened.
