Tong Yao put down her cell phone, cleared her throat, and mustered enough courage to make the following statement.
Everything I just said was just a joke. Im going to stand in the corner and reflect on all my misdeeds. Next Monday, at the Clubs regular meeting, Ill present my ten thousand words self-criticism...En, Im going to write it now. Getting off stream now, bye.
Then she watched the bullet comments turn into-- --
[Cheng Ges here again?]
[Alright, we know now. Tell us, wheres Cheng Ge?]
[Wait a minute, five minutes ago I saw someone called superchessman enter the stream. Could it be]
[Five minutes ago? Hhhhhhhh, then host, its too late.]
[Best wishes on your road to hell.]
Tong Yao: ......
Freaking out inside, Tong Yao turned off her stream. She looked up at the closed door upstairs with a blank face A few seconds later, as if she had finally made a decision, she puffed up her cheeks, pushed her keyboard away, put her cell phone in her pocket, and ran upstairs in one breath. She stopped in front of the door, lifted her hand up to knock but stopped right before her knuckle touched the door.
She could hear her own heartbeat.
She paused for a second-- --
The courage she had finally mustered suddenly evaporated.
Tong Yao retracted her hand and stood in front of the door like a statue for about 5 minutes until she heard the faint sound of footsteps and running water-- --Lu Sicheng was probably taking a shower and getting ready to go to sleep...The feeling of emptiness she had earlier returned. Her head drooped down like a defeated rooster. She turned around and despondently staggered back downstairs
When she passed her own seat, she saw the take out box still sitting on her desk. Tong Yao stopped, rubbing her empty stomach. She had been hungry for a while now. Refusing to go with Little Fatty for midnight meal wasnt something she had planned; she couldnt even understand what was wrong with herself-- --
When she saw Lu Yue help the team win the training match in her place, she found that she didnt know what to say to Lu Sicheng.
Tong Yao: ......
[ZGDX, smiling: Youre right, Im annoyed that Lu Yue won.]
[ZGDX, smiling: Will I be replaced by Lu Yue because of that and become a substitute for the rest of my life? Then Ill become the transparent member of the team. My teammates will remember me when they want to order take out: Ah, shes not busy, she can order take out for us.]
[Ah Maos mom: ? ? ? Your teammates are all so chatty that they would even talk to the air. They wouldnt ignore a substitute.]
[ZGDX, smiling: Hey.]
[Ah Maos mom: I figure youre just hungry. Didnt your captain bring some food for you? Go eat, then go sleep. The suspension is only for one match, itll be over soon. Your position is still yours and your captain wont stop talking to you for the rest of your life.]
[ZGDX, smiling: Really?]
[Ah Maos mom: ? ? ? Hasnt your club issued a notice saying youre suspended only for tomorrows match? How can it be false.]
[ZGDX, smiling: ...Im not asking about that.]
[Ah Maos mom: . Oh.]
[Ah Maos mom: Its true, really.]
[Ah Maos mom: Tsk, tsk, if he decided to give you the silent treatment for the rest of your life, why would he bring back porridge for you worrying you might be hungry. He probably only wants to stuff your head into the toilet.]
[Ah Maos mom: All you care about is the fact that your captain isnt talking to you. Why do you have to drag the whole team into it, really...Does every girl in love so jumpy and anxious like you?]
Tong Yao: ......
