You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 136 Part 1

Usually, the site for the major league competitions isn’t very large. The competition stage usually isn’t too far away from the first row of the audience-- --It is so close that the audience sitting in the first row could step forward a couple of steps to jump onto the stage. The players who are playing matches would be just a few more steps away.

Sometimes when the players are talking slightly louder amongst themselves, the audience in the first three rows could clearly hear them.

“Is this person crazy?”

With the note in hand, Little Fatty had a rarely seen dark face. When the housekeeper came by with a broom to clean up, she worriedly asked: “Ah, how come there were blades attached to the edges of the box? Is that girl alright?” Everyone seemed to come back to their senses from the shock. Xiao Rui asked the security person to come over and told him that, from now on, no player could open any delivery box by themselves. Afterwards, he hurriedly walked up to the second floor, leaving all the others behind.

Tong Yao’s door was ajar and there was the sound of running water coming from inside.

Xiao Rui pushed the door open and walked in. He discovered that the sound of running water was coming from the sink in the bathroom, but the two people inside were sitting at the edge of the bed…… Xiao Rui went over to turn off the faucet. The room became extremely quiet that the sound of a silver needle dropping on the floor could be heard-- --The two people who were sitting at the bed were silent. Lu Sicheng was applying alcohol on Tony Yao’s cut. When the alcohol touched the cut, Tong Yao screeched and subconsciously pulled her hand back. Lu Sicheng glanced up at her, then forcefully held her hand so she couldn’t retract it.

Tong Yao’s eyes were red and misty. She stared at the cut for a while, then, as if having made up her mind to take whatever may come, she stretched her hand over to Lu Sicheng-- --Lu Sicheng quickly disinfected the area, applied hemostyptic on it, then covered it with a bandage……

He was very careful the entire time, making his movements as light as possible.

However, the bandage quickly turned a little pinkish. It looked like the cut was quite deep.

Xiao Rui stood near the door watching with knit eyebrows like an invisible man. After a long while, Lu Sicheng asked without even looking up: “Anything you want?”

His voice was low and ‘bad mood’ wasn’t enough to describe it.

“That box downstairs……”

Xiao Rui noticed that Lu Sicheng seemed about to lift his head and subconsciously stopped talking as if he was afraid to continue. Then Tong Yao, whose eyes and nose were all reddish, turned to ask with a hoarse voice: “What’s wrong with that box? Are there dead mice under those dead cockroaches?”

Lu Sicheng: “......”

Lu Sicheng pinched Tong Yao’s chin to turn her face back. She took a look at him and mumbled: “It’s standard to have blades and dead mice. The reason why this person replaced mice with cockroaches has to be the fact that I had said on stream before that I’m scared of cockroaches. I should have said that I’m scared of diamonds and gold……”

Lu Sicheng didn’t release her chin but coldly said: “Why talk so much nonsense when your tears are almost falling down.”

“......................................It hurts.” Tong Yao also changed to an expressionless face and sniffled before speaking in a small voice: “You almost doused the whole bottle of alcohol on my hand. Do you know how painful that is?”

Lu Sicheng said “oh” with no expression on his face: “It’s not as painful as my heart.”

Tong Yao: “......”

Lu Sicheng didn’t say anything more but took a deep breath and pulled her into his arms. At the same time, he turned to look at Xiao Rui as if to say: if you have something to say, just spit it out-- --The mirthless look in his eyes made Xiao Rui’s feet buckle a bit. Xiao Rui said: “There’s a threatening note in that box, saying that the person’s going to make trouble at the game the day after tomorrow……I’ve already reported it to the police and informed the organizer to increase the security check at the site. However, I don’t think all these will do any good anyway-- --What I mean is that, since Tong Yao’s hand is injured, Tong Yao doesn't have to play the game against Red Arrow to be on the safe side. It’ll also give Lu Yue a chance to play an official competition. If he keeps playing only skirmishes, I’m afraid he won’t be able to keep up with you guys when it’s time to play the world tournament. What do you two think……”

“No way.” Lu Sicheng responded without looking up: “There’s no reason to not let her play.”

Xiao Rui slightly widened his eyes: “But safety comes first, besides her hand is hurt!”

Lu Sicheng looked up to take a look at Tong Yao. Tong Yao frowned and seemed somewhat hesitant: “The audience has to pass through security checkpoints to get into the arena. They shouldn’t be able to bring anything dangerous. Besides those who are willing to come watch in person are mostly kids, they shouldn’t be able to do anything radical……”

Xiao Rui retorted: “Isn’t today radical enough?”

Tong Yao was silent and didn’t respond-- --A lot of thoughts were going through her head, she couldn’t mentally digest everything that had just happened. But she suddenly thought about the fan who held up that LCD board with her id on it in the audience when she was being interviewed the other day……

Tong Yao sighed: “My hand shouldn’t hurt the day after tomorrow.”

Lu Sicheng looked at Xiao Rui: “Hear that?”

Xiao Rui: “Then, Lu Yue……”

Lu Sicheng: “We’ll arrange for him to play later on, but not now.”

Xiao Rui didn’t push further. He knew that Lu Sicheng was filled with pent up anger and didn’t want to let the person who had hurt Tong Yao to have their way. How would it look if they just did what that person had threatened them to do? Xiao Rui also realized that his proposal was hard for the two to accept but, from his perspective, he thought that it would be the best option after weighing the pros and cons…...In the end, he could only say to them: “Just think about it again” before scurrying away.
