Xiao Rui looked up at the two bickering behind him: "Aren't you tired of teasing
her all the time?"
Lu Sicheng patted the head of the person standing on the seat: "If one gets tired
so easily, there would be stray cats and dogs all over the streets."
Tong Yao thought that his analogy didn't seem quite right somehow: "Who are you
calling a cat or dog!"
Before Lu Sicheng could answer, he seemed to notice something and swiftly turned
his head. Lu Yue, sitting at the last row, chewing gum with legs crossed, was aiming
his cell phone at their direction......As Lu Sicheng turned to look at him, Ming god,
sitting right next to Lu Yue, patted his leg. Lu Yue answered with an "en," but didn't
put his phone down-----
Lu Sicheng asked with a stone face: "What are you doing?"
Lu Yue replied without any hesitation: "Helping you to get out of the closet."
Tong Yao: "? ? ? ?"
What did he mean by getting out of the closet?
Ming god looked the other way and chuckled. Lu Yue's expression seemed to say
"no need to thank me." Lu Sicheng walked over with a darkened face and yanked
the phone out his brother's hand. He took a look at the phone to find that he was
already too late. Lu Yue had already sent what he had recorded to a certain
WeChat account......
Lu Sicheng checked the video. It had captured precisely the few seconds when
Tong Yao jumped up onto the seat trying to grab the phone in Lu Sicheng's hand
and then swung into Lu Sicheng's body when the van took a sharp turn......Then
there was Lu Yue's description on the video------
Lu Sicheng: "......"
Like hell I have "lust in both eyes."
Lu Sicheng angrily smashed the phone back into Lu Yue's stomach, whose grunt
quickly turned into giggles as he lifted Ming god's arm to shield his own face. Ming
god tried to make peace between the two brothers with a smile: "Knock it off, both
of you."
Lu Sicheng pointed at Lu Yue's nose: "You just wait and see." He stepped back onto
his own seat and started to send messages out------
Tong Yao leaned on the back of her seat watching and thought that she had never
seen Lu Sicheng typing this fast before...... She glanced at Lu Yue and asked: "You
shot video? Who did you send it to? You didn't send it online, did you?"
"What's the point of posting it online?" Lu Yue rolled his eyes: "I'm not that tacky."
When Lu Sicheng heard Lu Yue's reply, his rapidly typing fingers stopped and he
looked at his brother in silent accusation......He paused for a second then coldly said:
"You're more tacky than you can imagine."
Lu Yue laughed happily in reply.
......
When the van arrived at the Korean restaurant, everyone exited the vehicle. Lu Sicheng
was still sending messages. Lu Yue was right behind him, "There's no use sending
messages. Ms. Wang is in a meeting right now. When she's done, she'll look at my
messages first for sure because she will worry about whether her youngest son has
been locked up again due to a brawl and waiting for her to bail him out......"
Lu Sicheng thought about it and agreed that it was probably true. He gave Lu Yue a
hard look silence him, then gave up on sending any more messages.
The group sat down in a private room in the restaurant. Lu Sicheng put his phone
down and went to the restroom. The others started to order as they looked over the
menu-----Tong Yao was no longer surprised to find a 300 RMB order of BBQ meat
plate after the earlier experience with that hot pot place. She picked the 68 RMB
potato pancake and put the menu away to look around the place------
Lu Sicheng's cellphone happened to vibrate just then.
Tong Yao turned to look for Lu Sicheng, he hadn't returned yet. She stretched her
neck to take a look and saw the caller id on the screen. She seemed to understand
now, why Lu Sicheng was so nervous in explaining anything back when he realized
that he had been videotaped......
Tong Yao had mixed feelings about this discovery.Then she elbowed Lu Yue, who was sitting next to her: "See what you've done.
Your sister-in-law is calling now."
"What sister-in-law?" Lu Yue turned from discussing the menu with Ming god
in confusion to look at Tong Yao. He then noticed the phone on the table and
responded in a calm voice: "Oh, you answer it for him."
"What the heck, haven't you had enough fun yet? You brat."
Tong Yao slapped Lu Yue's head as he chuckled. As he was about to say
something, Lu Sicheng opened the door and came back. He looked at the
missed call on his phone and casually asked: "Who was it?"
Tong Yao straightened her back, somehow feeling as if she'd done something
despicable, and answered: "It looks like it's from your girlfriend."
Lu Sicheng gave Tong Yao a glance, baffled. Tong Yao pointed his cell phone:
"The caller id said 'Mrs. Lu'......Ahhh, I just took a brief look, I didn't do it on purpose-----"
"Stop, I haven't even said anything." Lu Sicheng checked the missed call then
realized who she had mistaken the caller for. He flatly said: "It's not that Mrs. Lu."
Tong Yao: "?"
As they were speaking, the cell phone in Lu Sicheng's hand started to ring again.
It was the same caller id......Tong Yao nervously fixed her eyes on Lu Sicheng,
watching her captain swipe across the screen to answer the phone: "Hello."
Tong Yao subconsciously held her breath.
Lu Sicheng didn't talk after giving a brief greeting. The person on the other end of
the phone seemed to have a lot to say. Lu Sicheng played with the silverwares in
front of him and casually said: "Slow down, why in such a hurry. You're mumbling,
aren't you in a meeting?......You snuck out? Is the company doing so well that you
have the luxury of skipping out on a meeting?"
Though he seemed to be complaining, there was a feeling of intimacy. Tong Yao
concluded that it was his girlfriend, without a doubt.
Tong Yao had never heard him speak in such a tone with anybody ever since she
joined the team.
"------What, what, it's nobody, my teammate......Why did I compliment her? What's
wrong if I complimented her when she played a good game?"
Tong Yao quietly listened to his deep voice and felt her stomach acid rising up to
her throat. She looked around at her other teammates, they were all acting rather
normal, not an ounce of worry about their captain at all......
Tong Yao was different than her teammates. She already started to imagine how
the girl at the other end of the phone got so irritated by Lu Yue's video clip that she
left the meeting to call her boyfriend to interrogate her. Maybe she was crying-------
Tong Yao wiped her face with the palm of her hand------
Her mind began to run wild. Maybe ZGDX's mid and bot couldn't work together
from now on. The fans would start asking: This mid can only go up to the top?
Tong Yao found the thought stifling.
"------You're coming to Shanghai? What for? The summer competition has already
started, I don't have the time to fool around with you."
Lu Sicheng's voice indicated that he was losing his patience. Tong Yao moved
closer to Lu Yue, wishing she could use the BBQ sauce to draw a line in between
her and Lu Sicheng------
So the girlfriend was going to Shanghai to check on him!
Wtf!
Tong Yao wished she could tell the girlfriend that she really didn't need to do that.
Actually, she should worry more about Little Fatty, the man who played games with
her boyfriend every day. Yesterday, Tong Yao even saw Little Fatty lock arms with
Lu Sicheng's to beg him for help ranking up!
Lu Sicheng seemed to sense Tong Yao's eyes boring into his hand holding the
phone. Lu Sicheng paused for a while, frustratedly turned his head to mouth to
the person next to him: My mom.
Tong Yao: "....................................."
Oh.
Oh, oh.
So there wasn't a "crying girlfriend."
.........It really wasn't "that Mrs. Lu."Tong Yao turned her head back to stare at the tips of the chopsticks right in front
of her-----Now, she felt like she could breathe freely again.
