Chapter 171Chapter171
After the interview ended, Zhong Yuebai returned to the backstage. Qin Siqi was still waiting. Seeing the relief on her face, he couldn't help but smile and pat her shoulder, "You must be tired. Go back and have a good rest today."
The semifinals start the day after tomorrow, and they still have one day to adjust.
Zhong Yuebai nodded, but looked around, and whispered a little embarrassedly, "Team leader, I want to go to the bathroom first."
"Okay." Qin Siqi said, "We will wait for you in the lounge and return to the hotel after dinner."
"You go and eat." Zhong Yuebai said that he had no appetite at all, "I want to go back to the hotel to sleep."
"Then I'll ask Little C to wait for you, and he will take you back."
Little C is the team’s nutritionist and one of the accompanying staff.
"Ah... No need." Zhong Yuebai scratched his head, "It's just this distance, I can go back by myself."
“It’s very unsafe at night abroad. Look at what time it is now, even at this distance!”
Looking at the worried expression of the team leader, Zhong Yuebai suddenly felt that the team leader looked like an old woman worrying about this and that.
However, she didn't dare to say this.
She was a little helpless, "The city center is okay, and there are many security guards around. You may encounter people from other teams when you go back, so it'll be fine."
After saying that, she emphasized again, "I also want to be quiet by myself."
Seeing her insistence, Qin Siqi hesitated for a moment and could only say, "Well, call me if you need anything."
"Okay, team leader." Zhong Yuebai responded obediently and slipped to the bathroom.
The restroom closest to the backstage is located at the corner of Area A. There is a wide wash basin through a hollow yellow wood cloud door.
Zhong Yuebai turned on the faucet and put his somewhat sore hands under the running water to rinse. The cold water trickled over his skin, and the discomfort subsided slightly.
After a while, she turned off the faucet, took out a paper towel, and dried her hands.
"Mist?"
At this time, a familiar voice sounded from behind.
Subconsciously, he raised his head and saw Jiang Chengbin's figure suddenly reflected in the bright mirror.
She turned around suddenly.
The boy approached her and asked, "Areyouok?" (How are you?)
Seeing him appear, Zhong Yuebai felt inexplicably shy, surprised and nervous. Especially when he came over and stood tall and tall in front of her, she blushed instinctively.
Fortunately, the light was orange, which somewhat concealed her embarrassment.
There was a hint of worry in his brows, and she couldn't help but blink and said, "Whyasking? I'mfine." (Why asking? I'm fine.)
Jiang Chengbin stretched out his hand towards her, "Give me your hand."
Zhong Yuebai raised his hand in confusion, "why?" (What's wrong with my hand?)
He didn't answer, but gently took her hand, lowered his head, and examined her fingers.
Her hands were smaller than his, slender and white, still faintly trembling——
In fact, it was tense.
Unexpectedly, he would suddenly take her hand and squeeze it. Zhong Yuebai felt a rush of hot blood rushing to his forehead, and his heartbeat was so fast that it was about to jump out of his throat.
He...he, what is he doing?
Her mind was stuck.
So he actually let his actions go.
After a few seconds, Jiang Chengbin stopped, as if he was relieved, and said, "Nothing wrong, but you need to massage your fingers." (Your hands are fine, but you'd better get into the habit of massaging your fingers in the future to avoid Hand cramps occur again after a high-intensity game)
