You're Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 87 Part 1

Tong Yao: “......”

Lu Sicheng: “......”

Tong Yao: “......”

Lu Sicheng: “......”

The air in the room seemed to have frozened. An indescribable awkwardness floated around them…...Tong Yao stared at Lu Sicheng with a tight face but didn't make a sound.

She even forgot to blink.

Her heart seemed to have stopped beating.

After staring at Lu Sicheng for a long time, she finally laughed strangely, like a crackle, and then suddenly screeched: “Cheng Ge, please, act like a normal person, Cheng Ge. I really can't take how you do this over and over again. How many times do you plan to play this trick before you get tired of it? I'm telling you, I'm not scared this time. I'm really not scared-- --”

As she was professing her lack of fear, she had used honorifics to address Lu Sicheng and was backing away from him at the same time…...until her back was against the door, her hand secretly touching the doork.n.o.b-- --The cool metal in her burning palm helped calm her somewhat…...Then she saw Lu Sicheng looked rather frustrated and raised his own hand to mess up his hair. He sighed deeply and sat back down onto the chair behind him.

-- --He looked like he didn't know what to do either.

But Tong Yao didn't care what he was thinking about right now, all she wanted to do was run out of this room and find a place where she could hit her head against a wall to clear her head. She wanted to wake up as quickly as possible from this nightmare or hallucination, which she couldn't distinguish what was reality in the moment-- --Tong Yao quietly turned the doork.n.o.b and opened the door. When her body was half way out of the door, she heard an imposing voice coming from inside the room: “Where are you going? Come back.”

Tong Yao: “....................................................”

Three minutes later, Tong Yao sat down at the chair right across from Lu Sicheng. She tilted her head and looked at her captain with a timid and confused expression. She kept looking at him until Lu Sicheng impatiently rubbed his ears and gave her a stern look. Tong Yao was shaken by the stare and shrank back into the chair. Her whole body was backed into the corner of the chair, as if she was a frightened meerkat.

Lu Sicheng: “What are you doing?”

Tong Yao: “......”

Lu Sicheng showed a mean expression: “What did I say to make you like this? Did I ask you to tie the knot right here-- --”

“Ahhhhhh!” Tong Yao blushed and screeched while putting her hands over her ears: “Don't, don't say it anymore. Lu Sicheng, let me just remind you. You can't confess to and ask someone to go out with you using this kind of tone and expression. Even peac.o.c.ks know to fan their tails when they're looking for mates! How can you be like this-- --”

“Like what?”

“Snappy.”

“You'll agree to it if I'm a little gentler?”

“......”

“See, you quieted down.” Lu Sicheng frowned and displeasedly said: “Tsk. I'd really like to grab Jian Yang or Xu Tailun and beat them up.”

“......What does this have anything to do with them.”
