You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 57 Part 1

The audience had livened up by the episode that had just occurred on stage. It looked like people were having a lot of fun with the after game surprise.

Little Fatty, followed right behind Lu Sicheng and Tong Yao, dumbfoundedly asked: “What are you two doing? Zhu Bajie carries his wife on his back?”

Lu Sicheng: “Who’s Zhu Bajie?”

Tong Yao’s face turned bright red and patted Lu Sicheng’s back while whispering: “Aren’t you missing the point? Put me down.”

Lu Sicheng didn’t move. He took a look at Little Fatty, then kicked his fat leg which was still on Tong Yao’s sandal: “Move your leg.”

Little Fatty looked down and it suddenly dawned on him what had happened. He quickly pulled his leg back. Lu Sicheng then slightly bent over to put Tong Yao back down on his own shoes. Tong Yao breathed out a long sigh of relief and looked down to find her other sandal. She then discovered that the toe thong on the sandal had broken off during her struggle to keep her balance-- --Tong Yao wasn’t too happy about it. Jinyang had given this pair of sandals to her for Christmas. They had black bottoms with a white camellia on top of each of the straps. Though they were basically a pair of flip-flops, they were a pair of very expensive flip-flops……

As if this wasn’t the worst thing that could happen to her now, a staff member who had kept a lookout for a while now finally came up to Tong Yao to ask: “Smiling, are you ready for the MVP interview?”

Tong Yao thought to herself: do I look ready with one broken sandal, but couldn’t actually voice her thoughts. The interviewer had already gotten in place not too far from her and the lighting was ready as well. Many ZGDX fans also gathered in front of the interview area looking at her direction……

Tong Yao quieted down and limped over to the interview area-- --After a couple of steps, she heard a sigh coming from behind. She was about to turn and ask Lu Sicheng what he was sighing for. Suddenly, she fell a pair of big hands clapped down on her waist, then both of her legs left the ground, the next second, her whole body was in the air-- --

The fans at the interview area shrieked and kicked up quite a commotion. Some male fans even whistled and jeered!

“Ah, ah, weiwei!”

The back of Tong Yao’s head hit Lu Sicheng’s solid chest. From her angle, she could only see the perfect curve of his under chin-- --

Lu Sicheng, expressionless, lifted Tong Yao all the way to the interview area and put her down on the stool at the interview area. He remained poised despite the flashing lights aimed at his face. After he put Tong Yao down on the chair, he turned to go back to his seat to collect his gears together with Tong Yao’s.

Tong Yao sat on the stool watching Lu Sicheng packed her own earphones into her backpack. She was still in a daze when she looked back at what was right in front of her-- --She was sitting under the spotlight, with a dark mass of fans under the stage. She was nervous and went blank for a moment, however, she did remember one thing: The staff member seemed to have forgotten to give her the interview questions in advance.

Under such hasty situation, the interview started.

The interviewer congratulated ZGDX’s 2 : 0 win over Lan with a smile. The accumulated points for ZGDX so far was 3, the top team in group A-- --

The interviewer: “Smiling, do you have anything you would like to say about your performance so far?”

Tong Yao held tight the mic in her hand: “That…..I’m very happy with it. Thanks to my teammates for helping me win. I hope we can keep doing it till the end of the season.”

The fans started to laugh. Tong Yao also regained some of her senses and her pumping heartbeats began to calm down…...The lady interviewer kept her smile and praised Tong Yao for her straightforwardness. Then she looked at the cards in her hand and asked the second question: “Smiling, you’re the only girl in the major league professional teams. I’m sure everyone is very much interested in knowing that, being the only girl, is there any inconveniences or annoyances that you face more than the other players?”
