Chapter 76 (2)
When Tong Yao walked near the bathroom, she had unexpectedly saw people she knew.
Xu Tailun and his female companion stood in the area right in front of the bathroom. The two were whispering and giggling. Xu Tailun held two movie tickets in his hand. Tong Yao figured that they were going to see the same movie as Lu Sicheng and her.
What an unwanted surprise.
Tong Yao raised her eyebrows, then frowned when she remembered what Lu Sicheng said about who the woman was. She slowed down and couldn’t make up her mind whether to greet Xu Tailun or not– –The first match of this week would be against Xu Tailun’s team, Qing Dynasty, it seemed awkward pretending not to know him.
As she was hesitating, Xu Tailun happened to look up and notice her. He had taken off his face mask by now and called out to Tong Yao. Tong Yao turned to face him and saw the woman hastily lower her head and put on a face mask……
She was carrying a canvas bag and something was moving inside.
Tong Yao walked towards Xu Tailun, planning to cordially greet him and leave. Before she could say anything, she heard the woman suddenly say something: “Mimi, don’t move.”
Tong Yao could hear the faint meowing of a kitten.
Tong Yao immediately turned to the woman and asked in surprise: “You brought the kitten here?”
“Ahh.” The woman lifted her head up, carefully glanced at Tong Yao before turning to look at Xu Tailun. Seeing Xu Tailun hadn’t made a sound, she then said in a small voice: “As long as the cat is quiet, no one would find out.”
“It’s early summer now, the kitten probably won’t be able to take the air conditioning inside the theatre?” Tong Yao said, but then realized she might have been a bit meddlesome since it wasn’t her cat. She softened her tone and continued. “Be careful not to let the kitten catch a cold. It’s quite troublesome to take care of a sick kitten.”
The woman nodded.
Xu Tailun stood next to them without saying a word, but looked at Tong Yao with a meaningful smile. Tong Yao didn’t want to bother with them any further, briefly said goodbye, and walked into the bathroom. She waited until the movie was about to start then hurriedly came out of the bathroom to walk back to where Lu Sicheng was. Lu Sicheng was standing next to a full-body drawing of a character from the movie. He was surrounded by a few fans, both men and women……
Tong Yao: “………………………………..”
What Tong Yao had dreaded happened anyways.
Lu Sicheng saw Tong Yao approaching through the corner of his eyes. He saw her locate him, stop, and begin backing away. His hand paused in the middle of signing an autograph for a fan. Then he took the autograph book from the next fan and quickly opened it to sign his name. He refused the request to take a picture together with this fan– —
“My companion is here.” He used a somewhat patient tone of voice. “Let’s take the picture together next time, alright?”
Everyone turned their heads when they heard Lu Sicheng– —
Then they all widened their eyes, as if they had all discovered a new world. A short distance away, they saw a person circling around trying to find a place where she could hide. That person was the new mid of ZGDX, Smiling! ! !
“Ahhh, Cheng Ge, are you having a date with Smiling?”
“Why is she here too? Or is your entire team here?”
“Why is she hiding? Is she shy?”
“My goodness, you two aren’t really dating, are you. I didn’t believe them when they said it online……”
The fans surrounding Lu Sicheng began chattering. Tong Yao had encountered something similar the day she went to buy slippers right after she joined the team. However, she could no longer tell the fans that she was just part of the staff like she had done last time. Now she had no choice but to go forward: “………….Hi everyone, I’m ZGDX’s mid, Smiling.”
She had used the standard introduction when she did MVP interviews.
