I Can Do It

Chapter 38

"...what are the two of you doing?"

Hearing a voice, Jian Rong subconsciously stopped his motions and let go of Lu Boyuan's hand.

When the pressure on his hand disappeared, Lu Boyuan opened his eyes slowly and met the gazes of the two people standing in the doorway.

"Finished?" Lu Boyuan felt even more sleepy after dozing for a bit, and it took him a few seconds to wake up. He sat up straight and rotated his wrist before he turned his head and laughed huskily. "It feels much better, thank you."

Usually, Jian Rong would just massage his own hands for ten minutes and be done with it, but earlier, when he saw Lu Boyuan close his eyes and seemingly fall asleep, Jian Rong decided that he might as well just keep massaging. In any case, it didn't take much effort.

Jian Rong cast his eyes downward and nodded. "As long as it helped a little, that's good."

After understanding the situation, Ding-ge let out a breath of relief before immediately feeling startled—what exactly was he so nervous about just now??

Ding-ge coughed. "Um... we bought some crayfish as a midnight snack for you guys. Where's everyone else?"

Jian Rong said, "They already went back to their rooms to rest."

Ding-ge put the food on the table. "They're definitely not asleep yet, Xiao Bai just posted on Weibo a few minutes ago. Message them in the group chat and tell them to come down to eat."

Jian Rong stood up from the sofa. "I can go upstairs to get them. I need to charge my phone anyway."

Ding-ge: "Sure."

Once Jian Rong went upstairs, Ding-ge instantly asked the person on the couch, "Your hand hurts? How long did you practice today?"

Lu Boyuan said evenly, "Not that long."

"He started playing at four in the afternoon." The assistant coach took out his phone to check Lu Boyuan's match history. "His last game just finished thirty minutes ago."

Lu Boyuan: "..."

"Yes, that's not very long." Ding-ge grinded his teeth. "Only eight hours. You've almost caught up to the trainees."

"Shouldn't the starters work even harder than the trainees?" Lu Boyuan cleared his throat. "It's not that bad, I took a break in the middle."

Ding-ge said, "Are you not aware of what condition your hand is in? Even if you rested for two hours in the middle, you still would've gone over your allotted time!"

"Enough, lower your voice." Lu Boyuan glanced towards the stairs before swiftly retracting his gaze. "Don't exaggerate it so much. I just feel a bit tired from playing for a long time, but my hand is fine."

"BS." Ding-ge said crossly, "Also, do we not have a physiotherapist in the team? If you make someone else massage your hand for you, what if they end up hurting it? And what's more, Jian Rong also practiced for an entire day, but he still has to massage you after going offline... someone who didn't know better would think that you're bullying the newcomer."

Lu Boyuan lifted an eyebrow. He actually hadn't thought about it that deeply. It was just that when he saw a little friend grabbing onto the hem of his clothes and not letting go... he had ended up agreeing without thinking.

He said, "Let them think that, I'm not lacking this one accusation."

From the moment Lu Boyuan entered the industry, he became the center of everyone's attention. His popularity rose dramatically, but he was also subjected to controversy.
