Kapitel 33: CHAPTER 33
The day before their picture day for the summer season, Tong Yao and
her teammates received their new uniforms. Everyone had several pairs
so they would have extra pairs to change into during the summer time.
Tong Yao, holding the uniforms in hand, couldn't get her eyes off the blue
letters on the top of the back, "Smiling."-- --As for the other old hands, the
first thing they did when they got their new uniforms was to check whether
they were the right size. Lu Yue opened his own and took a look before
commenting, "No matter how I look at them, they look like high school uniforms."
"High school uniforms aren't as pretty as these!"
"Weren't you the one who said the red and black ones looked better before?"
"..."
"Women are really fickle."
"This is called take things as they come. What do you know?"
Tong Yao hmphed and rolled her eyes. She finally took the uniforms out
of their plastic bags, shaking them open to check. Little Fatty brought his
own uniforms over to compare with hers. "Tsk, tsk, didn't you say you're so
fat that you can't show your face? I was almost fooled by you. Yours aren't
even half my size..."
Compare with the clothes in Tong Yao's hands, Little Fatty's uniforms
looked as large as tablecloths.
Old K mocked, "Can you believe a woman when she says she's fat?"
Tong Yao scratched her head and jiggled for no reason. The man, who
was sitting right next to her, hadn't even touched his new uniforms and
was just concentrating on playing his game. He raised his head to take a
glance at her. "She's fat. Still can't hide the fact that she has small boobs."
"What are you saying! Where are your manners? How can you randomly
talk about a girl's boobs!"
"Didn't you say so yourself about the padding a few days ago right in front
of our community on the main street? The owner of that bar was a witness
to it too."
"What, what padding! Are you going to play this meme all your life? !"
"You think I don't want to forget it as quickly as possible?"
"............."
Tong Yao puffed her cheeks and glared at the stone faced captain. She
gathered her uniforms and went upstairs to try them all-- --It was still daytime,
with sunlight shining outside. Tong Yao held the clothes open to face the
sunlight and checked. Then she put down the clothes with a slightly furrowed
brows and sent a WeChat to her best friend-- --
[zgdx smiling: Calling for help, calling for help! I got the new uniforms, but
they seem a little transparent under bright lights. What do I do! Tomorrow is
picture day, the light inside the studio must be very strong, ahhhhhh.]
Jinyang responded within 2 seconds-- --
[Ah Mao's mom: What's the big deal, don't you know how to find black
underwear to wear?]
Tong Yao: "? ? ?"
[zgdx smiling: Black? ? ?"
[Ah Mao's mom: …...or bright red one? It's a bit too celebratory, but why not.]
Tong Yao: "...."
[zgdx smiling: Damn! ! !]
[zgdx smiling: What are you thinking!]
[Ah Mao's mom: A qualified woman should be prepared for any possible
incident with her most sexy side.]
[zgdx smiling: What! What possible incident! I'm different from your
flirtatious bunch. I'm going to take work pictures, not wedding pictures! !]
[Ah Mao's mom: Well said! Tomorrow will be the first time that you're in
the same picture with Cheng Ge. I hope the next time I see you two in the
same picture will be at the Civil Affairs Bureau, on your marriage certificate.]
[zgdx smiling: ...]
[Ah Mao's mom: I give you all the well wishes, no need to thank me-- --
My moron girlfriend took down the esports god; if such a day comes, I'll
be boasting about it for a whole year.]
[zgdx smiling: …...Why do I know a friend like you!]
Tong Yao threw her cell phone away and began rifling through her
wardrobe trying to find suitable underwear-- --Not black nor red, it would
be better if it was a lighter color-- --Finally, Tong Yao's mind was put at
ease as she found her entire underwear collection was in lighter colors.
She was a pure and qualified female player inside and out.
The next morning, Tong Yao got up to take a shower and wash her
hair. She put on a newly bought pair of underwear. When she came
downstairs, her teammates were waiting. They were all wearing their
own clothes-- --Xiao Rui had collected their uniforms yesterday so they
wouldn't wrinkle the uniforms on the car trip to the studio. He instructed
them to change into the uniforms as they were getting their makeup.
"Another summer season!" Old Cat stretched and patted Old K's shoulder.
"Hopefully, we can qualify for the world finals again this year."
"On the day when we are sure of getting into the world finals, I'll lock all
of you up." Xiao Rui muttered while hurrying them to get into the van,
"Until the day you board the plane, none of you can get out and make
trouble for me."
Little Fatty: "I'll file a complaint to the fans that you're illegally keeping
us locked up and let them punish you."
Xiao Rui sneered, "Go ahead. Maybe they're thinking the same thing
and happily bought me a safety lock and threw the key into the Pacific Ocean."
Lu Yue heard the conversation without much embarrassment. He
cleared his throat and touched the tip of his nose to get on the van,
taking a seat right next to Tong Yao…...Tong Yao moved slightly inside,
her shoulder accidentally hit Lu Sicheng as he was playing a game on
his cell phone. He paused and turned to look at her. They were very close
to each other, Tong Yao winked her eye and asked, "Crowded?"
Lu Sicheng: "...En."
Tong Yao quickly followed up, "It won't be crowded if Lu Yue get off."
Lu Yue sneered, "I'm still your alternate even if I'm not in the picture. The
name list has already been turned in. Forget about it you child."
Tong Yao used her shoulder to bump him and he used his elbow to strike
back. Lu Sicheng could feel the two persons next to him moving restlessly.
With his eyes still on the cell phone, he said, "Get off the van if you two plan
to keep bickering, go to the studio on your own."
Tong Yao: "..."
Lu Yue: "..."
They instantly quieted down.
It took an hour to get to the studio. After they got off the van, they went
into the dressing room as a group-- --The makeup artists waiting inside
the room started to do their hair, apply foundation, and argue with all the
men about whether to put on eyeliner or lipsticks-- --
Old Cat: "No eyeliner, it looks weird."
Makeup artist A: "Are you sure? Rui Ge, come take a look. Doesn't
Old Cat look much more spirited with the eyeliner?"
Old Cat: "..."
Lu Sicheng: "The foundation is too thick."
Makeup artist B: "Oh, really? Let me see, let me see. It's true, I'll take
some off. Cheng Ge, you have good skin."
Lu Sicheng: "Oh."
Old K: "Eh, what the heck is with this lipstick! A man doesn't need it!"
Makeup artist C: "K god, don't talk to your sister this way."
Old K: "Can't I go without lipstick?"
Makeup artist C: "No. Don't move, you need a little lipstick otherwise
you would look pale later."
Little Fatty: "I don't need to do my eyebrows, do I? I have handsome
looking eyebrows."
Makeup artist D: "They're handsome looking but they're uneven.
Haven't you discovered that?"
Little Fatty: "Really?"
Makeup artist D: "Yes."
Lu Yue: "I don't want makeup."
Makeup artist E: "You have to."
In contrast to the fuss caused by the male team members, the only
female member worked in harmony with the makeup artist. They
spent a lot of time deciding the color of the foundation. By the time
Tong Yao got her foundation on, the others had already had their
makeup on and hair done…...Since they would start with individual
portraits first, the staff figured that by the time the others finished their
individual pictures, Tong Yao would be done with her makeup. There
was no need to rush her. The staff hurried the others into the studio
and reminded Tong Yao to notice the time before closing the door...
"Rui Ge, where have you put the uniforms?"
"They're in the bag on the sofa."
"Where's the dressing room?"
"At the corner. Well, just find a place to change, there's no one
else here."
"...Oh."
Tong Yao thought: That makes sense.
Her other teammates went into the studio and proceeded to have
their pictures taken-- --
Usually, men didn't have much concern about how their pictures
were taken. They just walked up and struck a few poses according
to the photographer's instructions. After the individual picture, they
would randomly be grouped with 2 or 3 other teammates to take
more pictures...
Xiao Rui knelt behind the photographer to check the pictures. He
sighed while looking, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, our team is really the esports
team of male models! Even Little Fatty is the most handsome among
all the overweight people!"
"You said this last year." Little Fatty had just finished taking a group
picture with their Bot. Lu Sicheng walked over to take look at the
pictures in the camera and asked, "What time is it now? Is it time to
take the team picture?"
"Yeah? What time is it? Why isn't our only girl here yet?" Xiao Rui
checked his watch. "Is she going to make herself into Wu Zetian?"
"Women like to dawdle."
When they say they're going out, it means they have to wash their
hair, blow dry their hair, put on makeup, match an outfit with their
handbag and shoes, spray perfume...
"Well said. Cheng Ge, go get her."
"Me?"
"She's afraid of you. You show your face, she'll be here in no time."
"..."
Lu Sicheng looked at his watch, it was getting late. He reluctantly
nodded and walked towards the makeup room under everyone's gaze.
...
Inside the makeup room, Tong Yao was checking her eyelashes in
front of the mirror. The makeup artist was gathering her things, stuffing
them back into her cosmetic case, and said, "They should be done with
their individual photos, they should be looking for you soon..."
"Ah, I'll be over. I'll go change into uniform."
"Alright, you go ahead. I'll go over there to check it out for you. If it's
almost time for your turn, I'll come back to get you."
"Alright, alright, thanks."
Tong Yao was still checking her eyelashes as she answered. She
watched the makeup artist open the door and leave in the mirror. Tong Yao
put down her hand; she was actually too shy to change in front of people
she didn't know that well…...Now that the room was empty, she hurried to
retrieve Xiao Rui's bag. She rushed into the dressing room, took off her top
and pants, and opened the bag to pull out her own uniform. She was
dumbfounded to discover that there was only a pair of long pants, the top
wasn't in there.
Did he put the top and pants in separate bags?
Tong Yao figured that she had probably missed another bag. Since there
was no one inside the makeup room, she opened the dressing room door
and dashed towards the sofa where the other bag was located-- --
Just that moment, someone opened the unlocked door.
"Shorty, the sun is setting. How long do you plan to-- --"
The man's tall figure entered the makeup room along with the sound of
his voice. The voice abruptly stopped when his eyes met the eyes of the
person frozen mid-stride next to the sofa
Tong Yao: "..."
Lu Sicheng: "..."
Tong Yao: "....."
Lu Sicheng: "...."
Tong Yao: ".........."
Lu Sicheng: "........."
Tong Yao took a glance at her bunny and carrot print underwear, then
raised her head to look at the man who was quietly standing still-- --Instead
of covering herself and screaming like in the movies, her reaction was to
widen her nostril, take a deep breath, and take a full step back.
That expression must be ugly and hideous.
Lu Sicheng simply turned around and calmly said, "hurry up," then he went
out of the door and closed it.
Tong Yao stared at the closed door for a whole 5 seconds, her friend
Jinyang's voice happened to come into her head-- --
[A qualified woman should be prepared for any possible incident with
her most sexy side.]
Tong Yao: "................."
She then came to a realization of what had just happened, holding the
side of the sofa and starting kicking, "Damn! Damn! Damn! ! ! ! !"
...
A few minutes later, the second person who was sent to check on her
since both Lu Sicheng and Tong Yao hadn't shown up. He saw Lu Sicheng
as he was approaching the makeup room.
"Ge, what's going on? The studio is rushing us-- --"
There was no sound in the hallway.
The one Lu Yue was looking for was now squatting down in front of the
makeup room, the door shut behind him. The man cover his eyes with
one hand; his slender neck seemed to be slightly pink under the white collar.
He remained quiet, his hairdo which the hairdresser had just set for him
was now messy.
Lu Yue: "?"
This was the first time that he had ever seen Lu Sicheng blush.
