You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 78 Part 1

There was the smell of cologne on Xu Tailun.

Tong Yao found the stench quite irritating.

Tong Yao felt like sneezing and frowned-- --She couldn’t believe she’d thought Xu Tailun was a nice person. Not only was he good looking, more importantly he spoke Chinese well and seemed like such a personable guy. Even if he wasn’t good looking, he’d still be rather cute...

Her impression of him changed after she had witnessed his true colors.

All of his strong points were now just part of his act. Now even his cuteness became disgusting in Tong Yao’s eyes…...Tong Yao slightly lifted her head and coldly looked into the dark brown pupils of the man above her head: “What’s up?”

Xu Tailun smiled: “Can’t talk to you if there’s nothing up?”

“No, you can’t.” Tong Yao replied: “Let me go.”

As she was speaking, she tried pulling her hand out of his grip-- --She wasn’t successful and Xu Tailun increased the strength of his grip when he realized Tong Yao’s intentions. Now her wrist was starting to hurt.

Tong Yao’s eyebrows were knitted even more tightly now.

She could feel Xu Tailun bend over slightly and heard his voice right next to her ear: “Why did you have to say those things and put me on the spot during the stream that day? Wouldn’t it be much better if you just denied it completely?  It would be much easier for everybody……”

Half way through her struggle to free herself, Tong Yao suddenly stopped and slightly turned her face to the side. Her thumping heart quieted down all of sudden-- --It was the kind of calmness when one realized the enemies weakness. Tong Yao curved her lips up and said: “It’s my freedom to say what I want. I’m already doing you a favor when I didn’t divulge your lies. You didn’t repay me for my favor and even deliberately targeted me during the match today.”

“Because I’m not happy about it.”

“Your team lost the match because of you.”

“I don’t care. They wouldn’t object to it either-- --I’ve already won a bunch of matches for them. Isn’t it more fun to play as I wish once in a while?” Xu Tailun slightly squinted his eyes: “I can do more than that. Maybe we can lose the next match even more quickly. That won’t be any problem as long as you promise me that you’ll watch what you say from now on. Be a good girl, en?”

What was that? A promise to throw a game? A dirty deal?

Tong Yao had goosebumps all over her and subconsciously turned her head to look at the other end of the hallway-- --Xu Tailun pinched her chin to turn her head back: “Who are you looking for? Someone that can help you? Lu Sicheng? Don’t bother. All of your teammates are busy with my dear teammates in the break room asking them various questions. At this moment, no one-- --”

Before he could finish, Xu Tailun screeched out in pain.

Then he saw a row of teeth marks on his own wrist; the deepest hole had blood seeping out of it-- --Before he could react to what had happened to him, Tong Yao had squeezed herself out between the wall and Xu Tailun’s chest-- --

“I don’t need any help.” Tong Yao used the tip of her tongue to lick her teeth. She could taste blood and spit a couple times: “I hope you don’t have AIDS? My mom told me diseases always come in from the mouth……”

“......”

Tong Yao made a face towards him and turned around to go into the restroom.

After she walked in the restroom, her composure crumbled. She leaned against the wall, her heartbeat quickened. Her reflection in the mirror was pale…...She walked over to the basin to rinse her mouth and splash some cold water onto her face to cool herself down. Then she deliberately waited till the next match was about to begin to come out of the restroom. Xu Tailun had already left-- --Tong Yao hastily went back to her team’s break room. Her hand was slightly shaking when she opened the door.

Little Fatty asked her: “Where have you been?”

Tong Yao glanced at him and answered in a calm voice: “Restroom.”

Then they heard Xiao Rui call them from outside. Her teammates stopped asking her questions and walked out of the room one after another. Tong Yao cast her head down and tried to fall in the back of the group. She followed Little Fatty towards the door. But as her hand touched the doorknob, someone grabbed her arm from behind. Startled, her eyes flickered when she turned around to check. She discovered Lu Sicheng standing behind her.
