You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 99 Part 1

With a guilty conscience, Tong Yao jogged over to Lu Sicheng’s side and took a look at the cigarette in the trash, it seemed that he had only taken a few puffs before extinguished it-- -- Tong Yao remembered Little Fatty had said that Lu Sicheng wasn’t a heavy smoker to begin with and would only smoke when he was upset or needed to relax…...Since the team banned smoking, he would go to the yard outside the base to smoke so as not to bother his teammates, though it was easier for Xiao Rui to catch him smoking and deduct his pay this way.

After Tong Yao joined the team, he seldom smoked, though he still enjoyed the game he played with Xiao Rui hiding cigarettes as one of his favorite pastimes.

Tong Yao stood before Lu Sicheng, but before she could say anything, Lu Sicheng had already straightened up and said after a short pause: “Let’s go down to eat.”

He strode forward with his long legs as he spoke. Tong Yao had to quicken her steps to catch up: “Why didn’t you go down to wait for me at the restaurant?”

Lu Sicheng slowed down a bit and answered after thinking for a while: “Don’t want to go there by myself.”

Tong Yao gripped the tail of his sweater. Lu Sicheng didn’t turn around nor refused. They walked forward without saying anything to each other with Tong Yao attached to his sweater-- --Tong Yao was quite familiar with his stone face which seemed cold and mean. At the moment, he was her captain alright, but not her boyfriend.

Tong Yao released her grip on his sweater and quietly reached over to grab his hand. However, it seemed that Lu Sicheng had eyes on his chin as he casually lifted his hand, avoiding Tong Yao.

Tong Yao: “......”

She was certain by now that her captain was unhappy.

Tong Yao tried again to hold his hand and Lu Sicheng still avoided her hand-- --

Tong Yao couldn’t take it anymore, she used both hands to grab Lu Sicheng’s wrist as if catching a rabbit. “Tsk.” Lu Sicheng made a sound and pulled his hand out-- --He simply wouldn’t cooperate with Tong Yao…...Having no other choice, Tong Yao gave up on holding his hand and went back to grabbing the tail of his sweater. She twisted the hem and the loose bottom was twisted into a small triangle-- --Lu Sicheng could feel the pulling from behind and slightly raised his eyebrows to look back. He was met with a pair of black eyes which were looking up at him at the same time…...Tong Yao earnestly said: “Earlier I saw our team’s fans in front of that Korean BBQ place across from us, that’s why I threw your hand away.”

“Oh.”

Lu Sicheng didn’t have much response.

At the time, they happened to pass by a houseware store. Under Tong Yao’s confused gaze, Lu Sicheng turned to walk into the store and picked out a black mask from the shelf.

Tong Yao followed him into the store and watched him take the mask to the register to pay for it. She stood next to the register and stretched her head out to ask: “Why are you buying a mask?”

Lu Sicheng paid for the mask, tore open the package, put the mask on, and said calmly: “I’m being considerate, since I’m an eyesore next to you.”

Tong Yao: “.....................................”

The cashier behind the register looked at Tong Yao in confusion and her look seemed to say “Girl, are you alright, how can your boyfriend be an eyesore? You should count your blessings.”
Tong Yao stood on her tippy toes trying to take the mask away. Lu Sicheng put both of his hands in his pockets and leaned backward. Tong Yao wasn’t tall enough to reach the mask on his face.

The cashier’s gaze became even more complicated.

Tong Yao grabbed Lu Sicheng’s arm and dragged him out of the store and scurried away.

-- --With the black mask on his face, Lu Sicheng, with a pair of dark brown eyes showing above the mask and his tall and straight stature, looked like a movie star who had come out in disguise.

Many passersby glanced at him from the corners of their eyes, then gathered to discuss in low voices.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Tong Yao was hanging onto his arm like a sloth, she would probably be taken as the assistant of the movie star while walking next to him…...Since she was the one who had made the mistake, she had nothing to complain about it. She dragged Lu Sicheng downstairs to eat at that restaurant-- --

But even in the restaurant, Lu Sicheng hadn’t stopped punishing her.
