You're Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 34 Part 1

The expression in Lu Yue's eyes briefly changed as if he had thought

of something. “Where's that d.a.m.n shorty?” he asked as he approached

Lu Sicheng. He was in front of the makeup room and reaching for the

doork.n.o.b. The man who was squatting next to the door suddenly stood

up-- --His tall body was right between the door and Lu Yue.

“You go back first.”

Lu Sicheng sounded quite calm, without any facial expression. Except

for the messy hair, there wasn't a sign of emotional turmoil-- --as if it

was Lu Yue's imagination running wild.

Lu Yue pulled his hand back. “Is she in there?”

Lu Sicheng: “Yeah.”

Lu Yue: “Doing what?”

Lu Sicheng: “Don't know.”

Lu Sicheng paused a bit, then said, “You go back first, she'll be

there soon.”

Lu Yue fixed his eyes on Lu Sicheng's eyes. “Xiao Rui insists that the

two of us take a group picture. That's why I'm here to get her.”

Lu Sicheng just answered with an “en,” as if he wasn't interested in

keeping the conversation going…...Lu Yue knew he couldn't get any

more information from Lu Sicheng and gave up. He turned to go back

to the studio, “Then be quick, you two.”

Only Lu Sicheng remained in the hallway again. After a short while, the

door behind him opened from the inside. A slightly blus.h.i.+ng face carefully

appeared through the slightly opened door. “Who were you talking to just now?”

“Lu Yue.”

Lu Sicheng turned to take a look behind him. She was wearing the uniform

now-- --He was silent for a while then used his usual, flat voice to say,

“Come out if you have the uniform on. What took you so long?”

The words “have the uniform on” almost made Tong Yao drag the doork.n.o.b

off. She tightly held onto the doork.n.o.b and opened the door a bit wider-- --

gliding out behind the door like a mud fish wearing ZGDX's summer uniform……

The blue and white uniform on her looked a bit different from the other

teammates. The white, slender arms showing under the short sleeves

seemed to make the white uniform even whiter-- --like the skin color of

someone who never goes outside…...Lu Sicheng didn't say anything but

just glanced over her and turned around to lead the way.

It was quite an awkward moment.

Tong Yao jogged behind to keep up with him and tried hard to find a way

to get both of them out of the embarra.s.sing situation. “What did you see

just now?”

If Lu Sicheng took the hint, he should've replied that he hadn't seen

anything at all. She didn't expect that he would pause and honestly

respond, “I saw everything.”

Tong Yao almost tripped and stepped on Lu Sicheng's heel. She steadied

herself and looked up, “I told you a thousand times to knock before you

open the door!”

“......Lu Yue was going to open the door without knocking just now.”

Lu Sicheng changed the subject, “I stopped him.”

“I'm talking about you, don't bring Lu Yue into this!”

“You've been inside the makeup room for an hour and 40 minutes.

The chance for me to go in and see you in that condition or go in to

find you dead is about 50/50.”
