Playing Fish Trapped in Secret Room

Book 1: The Storm is Coming

Chapter 38

The scene was most puzzling to Ai Qing.  She mouthed to 97:  What happened?

Weren’t the three always on good terms?  She had known them for so many years and had never seen them argue.  But now, obviously something had happened between them.

97 shrugged.  “I don’t know.  They’ve been like this since last night.”

Last night?  They were like this…...and still won the quarter-final and semi-final?

Ai Qing silently admired them.

In the end, n.o.body could give her a reason.  She stood there for a couple of minutes and felt bored.  She chatted with 97 randomly about the exchange rate of the Korean Won, weather, that the winter was so cold, etc.  Then she carried the basket of drinks and left.

The exhibition tournament in Korea came to an end after the semi finals.

Everybody had time to relax.  They packed their stuff to leave the stadium.  SP and K&K stayed in the same resort village this time.  The organizer a.s.signed a big bus for them to make it more convenient to travel between the stadium and the resort village.

During the first couple of days, they only rode the bus occasionally because most wanted to see other parts of the city after the day’s compet.i.tion rather than return to their rooms.(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Now it was time to leave, except for several of the female team members who had gone shopping with their long shopping lists, all the male members were too lazy to tour around.  They quietly sat in the bus waiting to go back to the resort.

Ai Qing was late to the bus because she needed to talk to the female members about business.  The bus was already rolling forwards when she ran up to the bus.  She steadied herself at the front of the bus, took down her backpack, and was going to tell the driver that he could go. Yet, she froze when she saw the lady who was sitting next to Gun in the second row.

……

“Guo Guo.”  The lady nodded to her slightly and revealed a very friendly smile.  “I haven’t had a chance to greet you yet. I didn’t expect that we would meet when the compet.i.tion is almost over.”

If time rolled back to ‘05 again, she wouldn’t have believed that she’d cry simply after a brief conversation with this woman and shut herself in her room, crying under the blanket, for two whole days without eating or drinking.

If time could roll back to ‘08 again……

……

Ai Qing quickly lowered her head to calm herself.  Then she raised her head and replied with a smile:  “I didn’t expect to see you in Korea.”  She saw that the woman wore a staff name tag on her chest.
