My Mr. Mermaid

Untitled Part 87

Chapter 87 by ryuxenji

Yun Duo was pretty much visiting the training base daily these days. If she had interviews to conduct during the day, she would rush over as soon as she was done with her task list. If she was just working at the office, she would shamelessly request to leave early. Since she was now considered a 'big shot' at the agency, even Director Liu turned a blind eye to this, so no one else was going to say anything about it.

She did all this because Coach Wu had mentioned that Tang Yi-Bai trained better when she was around.

So she hoped she could accompany him as much as possible since she could not help in any other way.

Qi Rui-Feng was away during this time, so Tang Yi-Bai would always passionately invite her to rest at his dorm room. However, Yun Duo felt that if she kept running off with him to the dorm room to do this and that, he would just end up overexerting himself and this would affect his training. His training was already so tough and demanding, draining a lot of his energy; he should save up his energy at night.

As such, Tang Yi-Bai's invitations were mostly rebuffed.

But whenever she refused, Tang Yi-Bai would insist on sending her home at night. He was already tired out from training after his additional training in the evenings, and Yun Duo was rather reluctant to see him make the trip out and back. Finally, she found a compromise — she booked at room at a hotel near the training base.

And so she stationed herself there for this period of time; she was working pretty hard for Tang Yi-Bai's sake.

When Tang Yi-Bai sent her back at night, a taxi ride of over an hour had now been shortened to less than 10 minutes of walking time. The tar road from the gates of the training base to the doors of the hotel was very wide, and the street lights were tall and bright. However, there were not many people staying in the area and there was very little traffic, so this road seemed very vast and empty. Old folks selling fruits on trishaws could sometimes spotted at the intersection. Tang Yi-Bai would often buy a great pile of fruit for Yun Duo, stating grandly that 'eating more fruits will make you prettier and prettier'.

Yun Duo sweatdropped. Hefting the big bag of fruits, she said, "This is too much. Even elephants don't eat this much."

Tang Yi-Bai still continued to do as he liked. When they arrived at the doors of the hotel, he would give her a hug. His chest was broad and his arms were long — locked in his embrace, she felt extremely safe and secure. At this time, he would always ask, "Duoduo, can I stay over tonight?"

Yun Duo refused flatly, "No. If you dare to try and stay and don't go back to the dorms, I will tell Coach Wu."

Then he would act very pitiful. "So mean."

Yun Duo was a very principled person. She had agreed with Tang Yi-Bai that she would stay at Tang Yi-Bai's once a week, and then stay the remaining six days on her own at the hotel in order to help Tang Yi-Bai 'conserve energy'. This reason left Tang Yi-Bai unsure whether to laugh or cry, but he had no choice but to accept her determined decision. Moreover, this was just the current plan. According to Yun Duo's planning, once Qi Rui-Feng returns from Australia, there would be less than a month to the World Championships. At that time, she was determined to not have any more physical relations with Tang Yi-Bai. She would definitely hold out until after the World Championships had ended. She did not want to become his .

Tang Yi-Bai said rather helplessly, "Duoduo, can you have a little more faith in me?"

Yun Duo replied, "I have a lot of faith in you. That's why you must train properly. Good luck!"

He shook his head, smiling. "No, what I mean is, you should have faith in my kidneys."

This phrase left her blushing to her roots, and she ducked her head and ignored him.
