Playing Fish Trapped in Secret Room

Book 2: You’re Beautiful

Chapter 4

When the youngest member of SP ran to the beach looking for Ai Qing, he happened to see the strongest K&K captain was holding a white beach towel wrapped around Ai Qing. He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him……

“Aren’t we going to have a buffet together tonight?” Ai Qing heard the youngest member calling her. She hurriedly took the bath towel. “I’m going to change clothes first. Your T shirt…..”

“No hurry.” His eyes looked down and saw that the shirt was utterly soaked.

It was too cold here and you could catch cold. He thought.

“It’s too cold here. You’ll catch a cold like this.” Ai Qing said softly. “Go back quickly and put on some clothes.”

She then ran away wrapped with the towel after saying so.

Actually she didn’t have to rush back. The buffet would not start until half an hour later. She had plenty of time to change clothes and take a quick hot shower. She didn’t know why, but she felt too embarra.s.sed to stay with Dt.

She had to find an excuse to leave first.

When she stepped into the elevator, she found several people already inside.

Other than two foreigners, there were Su Cheng, dressed in a long skirt, and Gun, who was playing on his cell phone. Su Cheng was somewhat startled by her appearance while Gun just casually leaned on the corner of elevator, not even raising his head to look at her at all.

“How did you get all wet?” A hand gently pat her shoulder.

Solo?

She answered, “I fell into the seawater by accident.”

He also walked in. He pressed the eighth floor and stood next to Ai Qing.

Several seconds later, the elevator reached the third floor. The two foreigners exited, leaving the four of them by themselves. The moment the elevator door closed, Gun raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the two girls and the man in front of him. “Shall I excuse myself?”

……

This scene was a deja vu of ten years ago.

At that late night, when Gun brought Su Cheng in front of her for the first time, he had said the same sentence looking at her and Solo. That night was the first time she saw Su Cheng and heard her name. She was immersed in the happiness of victory at that time and secretly calculating the time she had known Solo, so they could quietly celebrate. But from that moment, everything changed.

“h.e.l.lo,” The first sentence the stranger Su Cheng said to her was, “I want…… to talk to Solo alone.”

She was fifteen years old and Su Cheng was twenty-two years old.

There was a 7 years difference between them. Ai Qing had a smooth life; she had never experienced any setbacks from academics to esports. As for Su Cheng, she was an esports player as well, but she was one of the numerous losers buried in the bottom of the pyramid.

Ai Qing admired Solo until she stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

And Su Cheng liked Solo too, but she could only be his temporally comfort when he was in the most difficult of times.

……

Ai Qing pulled the towel tighter. It was freezing cold. “Excuse yourself for what? Do you want to discuss tactics? Then you and Su Cheng should excuse yourselves together. Is K&K’s boss growing senile?”

“Tactics? Overwhelming talent will surpa.s.s any sort of tactics.” Gun curled his mouth and revealed a ridiculing smile. “If I’m not mistaken…...aren’t you wearing K&K’s summer uniform?”

His taunting didn’t make her lose the ability to react. But this little question made her embarra.s.sed. “Uhm…...you are not mistaken.”

Luckily, the elevator reached the sixth floor on time. Gun merely cast a very meaningful look and left with Su Cheng.

Solo’s eyes silently fell on Ai Qing.

Seeing her pale face from the cold, he had the urge to hug her.

Once upon a time, hugging had been the norm between him and her. She was fifteen years old then and still a young girl. She was happy when she was happy. When they won compet.i.tions, she would jump up onto him and hold his neck. And he could only hold her legs helplessly like holding a big kid in his arms.

He was nineteen then and she, fifteen.
