You're Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 35 Part 4

Tong Yao skipped down the stairs. Before the man was ready to walk out,

she grabbed the corner of his sweater. He turned his head around and saw

the girl behind her looking up at him with sincere concern on her face: “It's

going to rain soon. Bring the umbrella.”

Lu Sicheng: “......”

Tong Yao: “You'll catch a cold if you get rained on.”

Lu Sicheng paused for a moment, glancing at his other teammates who

were concentrated on their games. Then he slightly bent over using a voice

that could only be heard by the two of them: “You know, I won't delete that

nickname even if you kiss up to me like this.”

Tong Yao: “......”

Tong Yao: “d.a.m.n it.”

He'd seen through her ploy; the concern on her face disappeared. She let

go of the man's sweater and backed away, saying, “Well, goodbye.” Then

she went over to the refrigerator to get  cat food……The man watched her

kneeling in front of the refrigerator, searching. After a short while, he sneered

and turned around to leave.

……

Ten minutes after Lu Sicheng left, the wind was bl.u.s.tering outside.

Fifteen minutes after Lu Sicheng left, m.u.f.fled thunders could be heard outside.

Seventeen minutes after Lu Sicheng left, it became stormy outside.

Watching big raindrops splashed on the window while leaning on the sofa,

Tong Yao lazily yawned and sarcastically remarked with a smile: “The weather

of Shanghai is really ever-changing. I sure hope Cheng Ge had taken the car.”

“He sent his car in for maintenance yesterday.” Xiao Rui happened to walk

by the living room.

Tong Yao squinted her eyes and the smile on her face widened-- --But a few

minutes later, she couldn't smile anymore. Xiao Rui returned to the living room

with cell phone in hand. He looked around at all the people on the first floor: “

Cheng Ge called to say that he doesn't have an umbrella with him. Can

someone bring him an umbrella? He's right at the mall nearby.”

It was close to the end of the month, the time pay was calculated. Everyone was

working hard on their games to keep their rankings so as not to get any deductions-- --

Only the Mid of the team who had already reached Master was sitting on the

sofa playing with her cat.

She looked up and met the team manager's eyes. She spoke without thinking:

“Are you sure? I'm very busy!”

“Busy with what? It's you! Bring a few more umbrellas, the other two from next

door don't have umbrellas as well.” Xiao Rui picked Tong Yao up from the sofa.

“When you first came here, didn't Cheng Ge take his time to bring you to shop

for all your daily necessities? One has to be grateful……”

“......I'm a ungrateful person.”

“Don't talk nonsense. Get moving.”

Tong Yao had no choice but to go. She got dressed, combed her hair, looked

at the pouring rain outside, and sighed. With one hand to click open her own

umbrella, she carried another 3 umbrellas under her arm and said to the team

manager who was standing at the doorway with hands on his waist: “I'm going

now. It'll probably take 20 minutes because I have short legs.  Tell them to find

a warm place to wait for me.”

“Go, go.”
