Chapter 79 (1)
Someone kicked the back of Tong Yao’s seat on the bus shaking her whole body. She raised her head and asked the man sitting behind: “What are you doing?”
“How could you describe the encouragement from a captain to a new member of the team as sweet talk?”
“I thought you didn’t go on Weibo much?”
“So that’s the reason why you have the gall to write something so blatant on Weibo?”
“……………………….What do you mean gall. That Weibo post wasn’t meant for you.”
“Oh, then who are you referring to?”
“……Captain, it’s no fun getting to the bottom of it. The one who always wants to get to the bottom of everything usually has the lowest EQ. Really.”
Tong Yao held her cell phone in hand and started to mumble: “It’s so cold. Why turn the air conditioning so low.”– –As she was murmuring, she put her jacket over her and lifted the hood up to cover her face. She was trying to tell Lu Sicheng that she didn’t want to continue with the conversation, because it was too cold inside the bus.
She could hear the noise of Lu Sicheng checking Weibo behind her. Tong Yao shivered under her jacket. She didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until the noise behind her stopped. She looked at Weibo on her own cell phone and found that the comments under her post were all @Lu Sicheng. The corner of her eye twitched and she scolded in a low voice: You guys know everything, alright! You’re all supernatural beings!
Tong Yao hid under the jacket to check Weibo for a little while longer. Ten minutes later, she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep……It was about 7 o’clock in the evening when they arrived back at base. Since they had won the first game against the other group quite effortlessly this afternoon, everyone was in a good mood. They scattered onto the couch and discussed what to order for dinner. Today Old K was buying since he was MVP for the first match.
Old K: “Smiling also was MVP today.”
“Smiling has been deducted two months’ wages as well.” Tong Yao didn’t even lift her head as she sat on the couch: “Please, brothers. I got MVP just because they wanted to gossip what was going on between me and Xu Tailun– –”
She didn’t finish what she was planning to say.
It was because even Tong Yao herself had sensed there was something wrong with what she had just said. She lowered her head to check the couch under her, then suddenly looked up at Lu Sicheng who was sitting right across from her……Lu Sicheng had raised his eyebrows and was looking at her peacefully. Then he lifted his hand and used his thumb to point at the front door behind him, as if to say: Now you remember? Go out on your own, don’t let me do it.
Tong Yao: “……”
Tong Yao obediently stood up.
Everyone else except Lu Sicheng: “?”
Lu Sicheng also stood up: “Time for education about character.”
Everyone else except Lu Sicheng: “……”
Everyone looking at Tong Yao instantly switched from confusion to sympathy. They watched her and Lu Sicheng walk out of the base one after another……Lu Sicheng closed the door and leaned against the door, so no one could open the door. Then he lifted his eyelids to glance over Tong Yao: “Let’s have it. Think before you open your mouth.”
Tong Yao thought about it and it seemed what had happened wasn’t that much a big deal to her now. She was nervous only because of Lu Sicheng’s serious attitude.
After a short pause, she honestly replied: “During the break between the matches, I ran into Xu Tailun outside the restroom. He asked me why I didn’t whitewash the movie theatre thing for him during my stream and even said some vague things to stir up some trouble for him.”
