Chapter 105 (3)
You’re Beautiful When Smile
“What esports, isn’t it just playing games?” The middle aged woman shoved the kid: “You kids get addicted to the games that interfere with your studies and still try to come up with glorified excuses. What esports– –”
“What are you talking about, there’s no addiction to games. Esports has been officially recognized as the 99th regular sports event by the General Administration of Sports of China!”
“Hrm, a sports event? Are you kidding me, if it’s a regular sports event, why isn’t it in the Olympics– –Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense, hurry, it’s time to board!”
The woman pushed her kid in the opposite direction. Tong Yao was speechless but also felt quite amused. The kid suddenly turned his head to wave to Tong Yao: “Smiling! I also want to play professionally! To win the championship! But I’ll leave this year’s world championship to you, please!”
His mother forcefully slapped his head.
Tong Yao was surprised by his words and covered her mouth to laugh, the frustration she had felt seemed to have dissipated a little. She nodded and waved back at the kid, gave him a gesture to say go for it, and watched him be led away……
As the kid and his mother disappeared into the crowd, a cold voice came from behind Tong Yao: “What are you goofing around again?”
Tong Yao: “…………………………………….”
It was her captain.
Tong Yao turned her head and looked at the man standing behind her: “Why are you here?”
Lu Sicheng checked his watch then said with a stone face: “You’ve disappeared for a total of 30 minutes. I thought you’d been kidnapped by someone.”
“I don’t have money.” Tong Yao, with a smile, reached out with both of her hands to hug Lu Sicheng’s waist, snuggling against his body: “I haven’t even played professionally for three months but already got deducted for three months’ pay. My personal assets are negative.”
“I have money. What if they kidnap you to ask money from me? I have to pay even if they ask for 5 million……” Lu Sicheng held the person in his arms: “Who’s that kid just now?”
“A passerby fan.”
Tong Yao seemed to have remembered something while she spoke and hesitatingly pulled her head out of his arms getting ready to back away. Lu Sicheng, however, seemed to have guessed her intent and lifted one hand to push her head back against his chest: “What did you two talk about?”
“He asked for an autograph and took a picture with me. He also wanted to be a professional player– –” Tong Yao heard a sneering laugh coming from the top of her head. She slapped his waist and the laugh stopped, then she continued: “But the kid got ganked by his mom on his way to be professional. His mom retorted quite compellingly that if esports was a sports event, why isn’t it in the Olympics?”
“……Golf only gets to be part of the Olympics this year but can you say it’s not a regular sports event?”
“……”
“Read more books and newspapers.” Lu Sicheng said with a tone of voice as if pitying a retarded person. He thought about it then added: “But if being ignorant means you’ll throw yourself on me more, then I don’t mind it at all. You can continue to be retarded like this, no problem at all.”
“What are you talking about? I was treated as an internet addicted girl by his mom.”
“You’re an internet addicted girl……I don’t mind.”
Lu Sicheng lowered his head to look at the person against his chest while he was talking. Tong Yao in the meantime was probably still afraid of being seen by a passerby and carefully buried her red face in his arms– –Something flashed in Lu Sicheng’s eyes and Tong Yao happened to look up at this time. They looked at each other for two seconds.
Lu Sicheng: “Let me ask you a question.”
Tong Yao: “What?”
Lu Sicheng: “Have I passed my probation period?”
Tong Yao: “……”
There was a three-second silence.
Tong Yao grabbed Lu Sicheng’s clothes to pull him downwards a bit, while at the same time she stood up on her toes and quickly smacked him on the lips……After the light kiss, Tong Yao’s feet landed back on the ground and was getting ready to back away. Lu Sicheng got ahold of her and was getting ready to further pursue her lips– —
At that moment, Tong Yao felt the hands on her waistline suddenly pause.
She looked up at Lu Sicheng baffled, then turned her head and followed the direction of Lu Sicheng’s quiet eyes– —
She quickly discovered, amid the bustling crowd, Little Fatty who was quietly looking at them without much expression with a plastic fork in his mouth and a bowl of instant noodle in one of his hands.
