Chapter 87 (4)
Lu Sicheng: “I don’t know about that. I have a very good lifestyle as is. I’m a trustworthy good man.”
When Tong Yao heard his steady voice, she suddenly glanced to the side– —
The reporters didn’t sense anything unusual about his answer but burst into laughter. Looking at the carefree reporters, Tong Yao was rather envious of them since she was currently in anguish.
The reporters followed up with a terrifying question, perhaps inspired by Lu Sicheng’s answer– —
[Then, with the full understanding of both the bright and dark sides of this circle, would you two still consider having a relationship with someone in the circle?]
The two people who were sitting at two ends of the couch spontaneously gave each other a look.
Lu Sicheng: “Why not?”
Tong Yao: “……………………………”
Lu Sicheng turned to look at Tong Yao and asked directly: “You don’t?”
Tong Yao clasped the corner of the slipcover on the couch: “I don’t know.”
……
Tong Yao lost track of how the interview ended. The only thing she could hear in her head in the end was “you don’t, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t” repeating endlessly……She was bothered by the voice so much that she couldn’t recall what she had even said in the interview afterwards. She only remembered that, after the interview was over, she rushed out of the room as if she urgently needed to go to the bathroom– —
She did go to the bathroom to wash her face to cool herself down.
She didn’t go out of the bathroom until she checked herself in the mirror to make sure she had a proper expression on her face. Then she went to the parking lot to get in the club van. She was fully prepared, cleared her throat, and took a look around the van, then she discovered……hrm, her captain wasn’t in the van.
Tong Yao blinked: “……Where’s the captain?”
A staff member: “He left.”
Tong Yao was baffled: “Left……where?”
The staff member: “Who knows. He hurried off right after the interview, probably has an appointment with someone? Besides, he drove over here in the first place.”
Tong Yao looked at the time, it was already 8 o’clock at night. There was only one hour left. The ride from the arena back to base took about 45 minutes– –if there was no traffic– –In other words, though he said he needed her answer before nine, he was gone even before she had the chance to say anything.
……………………………………He was gone.
Tong Yao thought to herself: Lu Sicheng, do you know what a bachelor for life looks like? You’ll know tomorrow morning when you get up to look in the mirror.
Tong Yao threw her backpack onto the chair and grumpily sat down. She was fuming the entire forty plus minutes back to the base– —
The van parked in front of the base at 8:40 pm.
Tong Yao jumped off the van and said goodbye to the staff member. She walked into the base, changed into her slippers, turned on her computer, and picked up Dabing. She glanced at the time at the lower right hand corner on the computer screen, 8:45 pm. The seat next to her was empty– –Lu Sicheng hadn’t come back yet.
Tong Yao took out her cell phone, there were no messages nor missed calls.
Tong Yao held the cat in her arms and sat down in her chair, quietly.
She was so restless that she felt like a little volcano just about to erupt.
“Tong Yao, have you eaten yet?”
“Not hungry.”
“Smiling, play duo?”
“No duo.”
“Have you fed your cat?”
“Let it go hungry, lose some weight.”
At 8:50, there was the sound of a car’s engine outside the base.
