After some thought, Murong Qiao knocked on the door.
She didn’t have the habit of eavesdropping, let alone that she was more worried about Tang Huai’s condition.
“…I’m sorry, I want to rest.” Tang Huai’s refusal came from inside.
Murong Qiao said, “It’s me.”
As soon as she spoke, the unyielding voice inside immediately subsided for a
moment.
Murong Qiao stood at the door. She didn’t want to force her way in without permission.
In silence, just as Murong Qiao thought that she would really return empty-handed, the door in front of her suddenly opened.
The person who came to open the door was naturally not Tang Huai, but Tang
Yu, whom she had met once last time.
“We meet again.” The other party smiled at her, but the emotions revealed in
his eyes didn’t look very good.
Murong Qiao also understood. Seeing that this meant that they wanted her to go in, she stuck her head in to take a look.
Tang Huai was sitting on a lounge chair at the side with his head lowered. His hair fell and covered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression. One could only feel the tense atmosphere around him.
“Big Brother, I came to send you the medicine.” Murong Qiao walked over.
It was unknown if the name “Big Brother” had eased the atmosphere, but at
least the tension around Tang Huai dissipated a lot.
Tang Huai covered his face. “I’m sorry, I forgot. I had to trouble you.”
He was in a hurry to prepare for the compet.i.tion in the morning, so he didn’t think of this when he left.
“You only remember the compet.i.tion,” Tang Yu said from the side. “You even forgot to bring your medicine.”
Probably because Murong Qiao was present, Tang Yu was not as serious as before.
There was water in the lounge, so Tang Huai took the medicine.
Tang Yu waited for him to finish before saying, “Is it still about the rain now?”
He was clearly talking about the matter just now.
Tang Yu also knew about the problem with his leg. Although he had always said that he wouldn’t receive treatment, he had been taking the medicine regularly, just now, when they saw the sudden situation on the field and connected it to the medicine Murong Qiao had sent, the three people in the room knew what was going on.
“Forget it, I still have something on. You guys chat.” Seeing that Tang Huai was silent, Tang Yu didn’t say anything else.
However, Murong Qiao still had to say it. When she saw the car almost leave the track just now, her heart skipped a beat.
Only Murong Qiao and Tang Huai were left in the lounge.
“Big Brother—” Murong Qiao began.
Tang Huai didn’t look up and took a deep breath. “You’re here to persuade me too?”
“…Sort of.” Murong Qiao was ambiguous.
Tang Huai’s resistance couldn’t help but relax because of Murong Qiao’s uncertain words. Then, he smiled.
“If you’re here to persuade me, then you’re here to persuade me. What do you mean by sort of?”
Murong Qiao corrected him. “Well, I actually came to deliver the medicine.”
Joking around was not Murong Qiao’s style.
Seeing that Tang Huai was not as tense as before, Murong Qiao finally became serious.
-To be honest, I quite like the way you relax on the track.” She was sincere, but
her words changed. “But I think you don’t take it to heart at all.”
-How is that possible?” Tang Huai retorted subconsciously.
He had sacrificed so much day after day for the sake of racing and what he loved. He didn’t even care about his family’s thoughts.
Murong Qiao naturally knew this too, but she had this thought with Tang Huai.
“But I only saw you on the field in an unstable state.
Her words were straightforward enough, and she knew very well that she couldn’t beat around the bush with someone like Tang Huai.
“Although it’s a coincidence, there was something wrong with your leg because you didn’t take your medicine and it rained today.
-But what if it rains on the day of the main compet.i.tion? Even if you take the medicine, can you guarantee that nothing will happen to you?”
Murong Qiao stared at Tang Huai and spat out everything she had been thinking about recently.
“If you miss the championship because of your injuries, I think you’ll regret it far more than I do.”
At least for Murong Qiao, it was still acceptable if she couldn’t get what she wanted because of her own problems. However, if it was because of external factors, because of force majeure, or because of an accident, it was even more difficult for her to accept.
“…” Tang Huai was silent.
Even though he was the one in charge of himself, Tang Huai had to admit that Murong Qiao’s words were the same as his.
If the original Tang Huai had been numbing himself and training hard, what happened on the field today was like a warning bell for him.
He deeply realized the powerlessness when his illness acted up.
Thinking of the uncontrollable feeling at that time, Tang Huai didn’t refute Murong Qiao’s words immediately.
“Let’s not talk about the outcome for now. I just feel that showing your best state is the respect you deserve.”
When Tang Huai heard Murong Qiao’s voice, he looked up and met her eyes. He could almost see the seriousness in her eyes.
The stubbornness in his heart suddenly loosened under such a gaze.
“…I understand.” Tang Huai suddenly smiled, as if he had figured something
out.
Murong Qiao was about to ask if he had thought it through when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Thinking that it was Tang Yu, she casually walked over to open the door. In the end, as soon as the door opened, her eyes met Jiang Weiyang and… Sophia.
Murong Qiao didn’t expect to meet an “acquaintance” here.
Strictly speaking, they were not considered acquaintances. However, seeing that these two people clearly knew each other, Murong Qiao felt that something was wrong.
“You, why are you here!” When Jiang Weiyang saw that it was Murong Qiao who opened the door, she was immediately annoyed.
She had brought Sofia to look for Tang Huai, but she didn’t expect to see Murong Qiao here.
It was also because the view of the private room just now was too good, so they couldn’t see the audience, let alone after the compet.i.tion ended. Jiang Weiyang and Sofia had been chatting, so no one saw Murong Qiao come.
Murong Qiao didn’t have a good expression when she saw that it was Jiang Weiyang.
She sized up the other party from head to toe, then crossed her arms in front of her chest and stood at the door with no intention of moving aside.
“Why? Are you the only one allowed to watch the compet.i.tion? Besides, do you have to care where I go?”
If it were anyone else, Murong Qiao would definitely not be so rude. However, Jiang Weiyang, her enemy and love rival, would definitely receive different treatment.
“You!” Jiang Weiyang was furious.
Fortunately, she still remembered her purpose for coming over. Moreover, this was in front of Sofia. Jiang Weiyang didn’t want to argue with Murong Qiao. Little did they know that Murong Qiao and Sofia had already recognized each other the moment they looked at each other.
Sofia even stood behind Jiang Weiyang and gave Murong Qiao a very friendly smile.
Of course, Murong Qiao couldn’t read any hint of “friendliness” in this expression.
“I’m here to look for Tang Huai. Move aside,” Jiang Weiyang said.
Murong Qiao stood at the door. When she heard her say this, she pointed at the sign on the wall. “Didn’t you see these two words?”
“Resting Lounge.”
Murong Qiao read it word by word. “The contestant is resting. He refuses to be disturbed.”
Tang Huai had just taken his medicine. Because of his performance on the track just now, Murong Qiao wanted to bring him to Murong Zheng for another checkup.
Moreover, she didn’t think that Jiang Weiyang had come for anything serious. “I’m looking for Tang Huai, not you,” Jiang Weiyang insisted.
She had promised Sofia. She had yet to see him, so how could they leave just like that?
Seeing that Jiang Weiyang was pestering her, Murong Qiao’s rejection was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Tang Huai, who appeared behind her.
“I’m sorry, I still have something on. Qiaoqiao, let’s go.
Tang Huai left with Murong Qiao without looking at Jiang Weiyang..
