You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 74 Part 1

You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 74 Part 1

Though the team manager believed that Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng were going to the market and tying the knot at the same time, in reality the conversation in the car went as follows-- --

Tong Yao: “Cheng Ge, I heard that you were searching for piranha fry online after I’d gone to bed……”

Lu Sicheng: “That’s right.”

Tong Yao asked after a moment of silence: “Did you find any?”

“Somehow the search ended up at Venus Flytraps.” Lu Sicheng answered: “Since it’d have the same effect in the fishbowl, I just bought that.”

Tong Yao searched for Venus Flytrap on her cell phone and became silent after seeing the images of the vicious look of the plant: “What effect are you talking about?”

“Whoever puts their hand inside the fishbowl gets bitten.”

“......”

Tong Yao looked out the windshield without expression on her face. It was silent inside the car for the rest of the way. Lu Sicheng was concentrating on driving while Tong Yao dwelled on the question: “does he intend for it to bite me or the cat?”......When they arrived at the market, Tong Yao opened the door and saw a crowded market. This market specialized in selling flowers and all sorts of pets. A Labrador with a sign hanging from its neck saying “Looking for a mate, I have money,” walked pass Tong Yao. Tong Yao couldn’t move her eyes off the dog.

Tong Yao: “......”

Amazing, even a dog knew to come to this market to look for a mate.

Lu Sicheng parked the car and walked over. He took a glance at the huge crowd at front and another glance at the person next to him who was still too short while wearing platform shoes and would be buried amidst the crowd. He paused a moment then flatly said: “I’m thinking of putting an auto alarm system on you. With one push of the button, an alarm will go off and I won’t be afraid of losing you in a crowd.”

“........................” Tong Yao was a bit uneasy: “I have a cell phone. Who needs an alarm? If we get separated, please call me on my cell phone.”

“I won’t.” Lu Sicheng took a glance at her: “Just follow closely.”

With his height and conspicuous clothes, Lu Sicheng not only stood out in the crowd, he also parted the crowd like Moses. By following right behind him, Tong Yao found it easier to move through the crowd……

Tong Yao stayed behind Lu Sicheng. The man was like a hill in front of her, blocking her view in front. All she could see when she raised her head were his broad back and the earrings on his ears…...The silver earrings looked quite nice on him.  Tong Yao didn’t remember seeing him wear them before. She fixed her eyes on them-- --

“Cheng Ge.”

“What?”

“I didn’t even know that you have pierced ears. You look good wearing earrings. Why don’t you wear them at base?”

“For whom would I wear them for at base?”

“.......Then whom are you wearing them for now?” Tong Yao couldn’t get it: “The fish?”


“Aren’t you wearing a skirt? For whom are you wearing it for? The cat?”

“You even wore new shoes.”

“Are your shoes old?”

“......”

“......”

It was a moment of sweet embarrassment.

Those Sweet Times - Chapter 60 Part 4

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



Those Sweet Times
Chapter 60 Part 4

Chen Yinghu said: “You guys don’t like me. I’m going to sing for you.”

The bullet comments very quickly changed their tune, saying that they liked Hu Ge and begged him not to sing.

Chen Yinghu snorted with laughter.

When Xiang Nuan and Lin Chuyan joined, Xiang Nuan asked: “Hu Ge, can I bring one more person in?”

“Sure, who is it?”

“A friend, he’s super good with Luna.”

“Ha.” Chen Yinghu gave an exaggerated laugh: “He has guts to play Luna in front of me. Good, I want to see it.”

After Oblivion joined, bringing the head count to four, Chen Yinghu thought for a moment and said: “Why don’t I get one more person. Let’s play a high Elo match and show these guys what it’s like.”

Chen Yinghu checked his friends list and invited Shen Zemu.

There were fewer teams in queue for high Elo matches. They waited for 5 minutes before they found a game. During the ban and pick phase, Xiang Nuan said: “Let me play support.”

Shen Zemu suddenly spoke: “I’ll play support.”

He had never played support before.

Xiang Nuan ended up played top as usual, Lin Chuyan was mid, Chen Yinghu as their archer, and Oblivion as their jungler with Luna.

Shen Zemu chose Daqiao.

At the beginning of the game, Daqiao went to mid lane and began farming Lin Chuyan’s minions. Normally, a support doesn’t farm their teammates’ minions in the early game to ensure their teammates could become stronger, faster.

But this Daqiao wasn’t following the rules.

After he was done with the minions at mid, Daqiao went to bot lane and began farming the minions there.

Chen Yinghu asked: “Cousin, what’s wrong with you?”

His cousin didn’t say anything, but quietly drew a circle on the ground.

Chen Yinghu: “No one wants to go back.”

Daqiao, however, stood inside the circle and teleported back to base.

Chen Yinghu said: “Are you here to mess me up?”

Chen Yinghu had guessed correctly.

Later in the match, Daqiao teleported both Lin Chuyan and Chen Yinghu back to base while they were in a team fight. Then he sent Chen Yinghu back to base again while he was farming minions. After that, he saw that Lin Chuyan only had a sliver of health left and began drawing on the ground again.

This time the circle was right under enemy’s turret.

Lin Chuyan acted as if he didn’t notice it and went back to base.

Chen Yinghu said: “Cousin, what’s wrong with you? !”

Shen Zemu snorted: “Why don’t you tell me why?”

Chen Yinghu quieted down with a guilty conscience.

The brief exchange between Chen Yinghu and Shen Zemu caught the chat’s attention. Many fans started imagining that the cousins were actually a couple and were having a lovers' quarrel. Chen Yinghu glanced at the bullet comments and thought…...what the heck!

Xiang Nuan was rather uneasy by the entire thing. She had brought Oblivion to play with them during Chen Yinghu’s stream, not to throw a game. She had a specific purpose for this game in mind after all.

“Xuezhang, please.” Xiang Nuan pleaded softly.

Her words worked. Shen Zemu stopped messing around.

In the end, they won the match. On the end game stats screen, Xiang Nuan noticed that Oblivion was MVP for the game dealing out the highest amount of damage on her team, higher than even Lin Chuyan and Hu Ge.

Starlight Has No Past - Chapter 48 Part 1

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



Starlight Has No Past
Chapter 48 Part 1

For the award ceremony, Ye Qiao wore a red gown specifically designed for her, with ruffles on the side seam that formed a rose on the gown. The saturated red made Ye Qiao’s fair skin look as white as snow.

Gu Jin was absent from the award ceremony though he had been nominated for best director. In the vip hospital ward, the LCD screen showed the red carpet before the award ceremony. Gu Jin, leaning back into his chair, fixed his eyes on the rose he had missed slowly walk down the red carpet, waving to the camera. Her black pupils reflected all the lights around her, sparkling like diamonds.

Ye Qiao wore a shallow smile on her face like a fully bloomed flower against the chilly wind. He admitted that he had sometimes had malicious thoughts, wishing ill upon her life.
But the excited voice of the host when he introduced Ye Qiao and the roar of cheers that followed all indicated that she was doing just fine.
She was going to receive the best actress award tonight.

Cheng Jiang had gone through another round of debridement and her open wounds were still healing. The scars left on her once elegant and poised face would need skin grafts. She had lost all her glamour and the loss of her child was the last straw that had totally crushed her. She looked very dispirited: “You want to go back to her, don’t you?”

Gu Jin was suddenly jolted back to reality. He moved his eyes away from the screen, but the bright and shining silhouette was left on his retinals. For a moment, he didn’t even know where to set his eyes on: “What are you talking about?”
“You don’t have to pretend to be nonchalant. I’m not a little girl that’s easily fooled.” Cheng Jiang gave a sad smile: “Wasn’t the reason you chose to be with me was because at the time she wasn’t able to stand side by side with you? The most important thing in your mind has always been your career. In order to reach greater success, you would even use your marriage as your leverage. I just happened to fit your needs at the time.”

“When you learned that we’re going to have a kid, didn’t you also account for the baby into your scheme? First, it was making the announcement during the premiere, then the proposal, the engagement, the wedding, and the soon to be born child.” The media exposure he and the film would receive would be worth more than tens of millions that a promotional budget could produce. Cheng Jiang lied amidst the white, sterile environment. It felt like the colors of the world had faded away. She thought her decision to be with Gu Jin had been a mature one, it had suited both of them well. She didn’t expect she would fail so miserably.
“Gu Jin, you think life is just like any of the movies you’ve directed. But your schemes have all failed. How do you feel now?”
The previous best actress was like a jade that had lost all of its luster, but it still retained it’s stubbornness. She said to Gu Jin: “Go back to her. I don’t need you pitying me.”

On the TV screen, Ye Qiao had just received the trophy for best actress from the presenter. She lowered her head to face the microphone and began to deliver her acceptance speech with her clear, smooth voice.
“Standing here today, I have too many people I would like to thank. The presenter, Director Lai, has been my mentor. To receive this award from his hands carries extraordinary significance to me.”

……

“But there’s one person in particular whom I especially want to thank.”

In Gu Jin eyes, it was as if her sweet smile was right in front of him. He remembered Ye Qiao had said that if someday she would stand on the stage to receive an award, she hoped it’s him who presented the award to her and she would mention him in her speech, to declare to the world that he was the one and only person for her.
Gu Jin quickly turned off the TV.

He put down the remote and looking out the window. The fireworks for the coming New Year seemed to coincide with the glamorous award ceremony, exploding into bright colors in the cold and quiet night sky. In his eyes, though, there seemed to only be endless desolation. He spoke , but didn’t direct it to anyone in particular: “Can’t go back now.”
The man next to her would never be him again.

Starlight Has No Past - Chapter 47 Part 3

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



Starlight Has No Past
Chapter 47 Part 3

Zhou Tingsheng became rather serious: “I’ll bear the consequences of my mistakes. I might not be able to make it up in this life, but I won’t use the rest of my life to make amends for this one thing. Whether you think I’m selfish or you’re disgusted with my past, just tell it to me straight.”
It was silent in the hallway. Zhou Tingsheng felt like time had frozen solid.
Deep down in his mind, he was uneasy and doubted his own confidence. But if even he couldn’t persist to the end, then he shouldn’t have gotten close to her in the first place.

Ye Qiao finally said in a small voice: “......I’m not disgusted with you.”
Zhou Tingsheng’s heart quivered. Ye Qiao moved her icy cold hands next to his and laced her fingers with his. Zhou Tingsheng didn’t question the authenticity of her words, he only wanted to warm up her cold pair of hands and heart.
Ye Qiao could feel the thin calluses on his palms. The hands felt so familiar and dependable.
She said: “I really don’t mind. Really.”

Zhou Tingsheng stood there, rigid, without looking at Ye Qiao. Ye Qiao tried to lighten up the mood: “What’s the point in not avoiding you. You aren’t even willing to look at me.”
Zhou Tingsheng turned to look at her. Ye Qiao held his face in her hands and stood on her tippy toes to give him a quick kiss on his lips: “It’s alright now. I missed you very much too…...I missed you everyday.”

Most of the time, Ye Qiao wasn’t a passionate person. Even when she spoke words of affection, the words came out like formality. Zhou Tingsheng knew she was showing her true feelings but compared to the way she delivered her lines during the audition, he really figured she was a brilliant actress.

Ye Qiao didn’t know what was going through Zhou Tingsheng’s mind, but hurriedly told him: “I really have to go back to pack.” She checked her watch on her wrist: “I have two hours. I’m flying to Yang City tonight. There’s an award ceremony tomorrow.”
Zhou Tingsheng’s eyebrows immediately gathered tightly together: “Why haven’t you mentioned this?”
“I didn’t have the chance to tell you recently.”
The eyebrows grew even closer together. Fortunately, what Ye Qiao said right after greatly encouraged him: “Didn’t we plan to go to your home during the New Year before? The year end award ceremony happens to be at Yang City and it’s already near the New Year, so I’ve agreed to attend.”
Zhou Tingsheng finally relaxed his eyebrows: “Then I’ll go with you.”

Ye Qiao didn’t have the time to refuse since Shen Ting was calling her on the phone to hurry her. She went back to her own apartment and hastily packed her luggage.
The tickets for that night’s flights were already sold out. Ye Qiao went to the airport with her assistant. When she arrived at the airport, Zhou Tingsheng sent a message telling her that he would fly over at noon the next day.

After meeting Shen Ting, Ye Qiao learned that there was another wave in the iCloud scandal. The relatively unknown Zhao Mo suddenly became the target. There was an anonymous actress, who worked with Zhao Mo on the same movie set, that revealed that Zhao Mo had affairs with Gu Jin and many other directors. Ye Qiao then remembered that she had received several phone calls from Zhao Mo. She was sick at the time. After she recovered, she hadn’t called her back since she was also troubled by many other things at the time.

The previous scandal had disclosed the entirety of Xu Yinshan’s black history, totally destroying her public image as a down to earth and kind person. Some insiders even maliciously predicted that she would only be appearing in adult movies in the future.

There were various gossip poured into Ye Qiao’s ears. The one that caught her attention was-- --Cheng Jiang miscarried.
Cheng Jiang had several abortions before and a miscarriage would probably mean that she wouldn’t be able to get pregnant again. In order to give the baby in her stomach a chance to survive, Zheng Jiang had refused anesthesia and had to bear the pain as they cleaned the great area of burns and the following skin reconstruction.

Ye Qiao had visited Lu Qing in the hospital, who suffered similar burns as Cheng Jiang. It was very hard for Ye Qiao to hear how the treatment was like. Cheng Jiang bravely endured the excruciating pain but still couldn’t save the baby. It was a double blow to Gu Jin who had to worry about his own career and take care Cheng Jiang at the same time. Shen Ting learned about the news through some staff members she had worked with before.

Shen Ting also heard that originally, there was a good possibility that Cheng Jiang would be nominated as one of the best actresses at the year end award ceremony after the release of <The Watcher> and Gu Jin planned to propose to her at the ceremony.
Who could imagine that the circumstances would change so much with the passage of time that Ye Qiao became the receiver of the award for best actress instead.

You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 73 Part 3

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 73 Part 3

Tong Yao jumped out of bed, pulled her suitcase out from the closet, opened it, and dug out a blue striped white dress shirt and a darker colored pleated skirt-- --They were birthday gifts from Jinyang last year-- --The two were a matching pair, with a small cartoon bear head on each of them. That was the only childish thing Jinyang could stand to have on the clothes she gave to Tong Yao.

Tong Yao quickly put on the shirt and skirt, rushed in front of the mirror to stuff the shirt into the skirt, and spun in a circle after smoothing out the shirt. She had a narrow waist line, straight legs, and a flat tummy since she hadn’t had any breakfast yet…... 

Satisfied with what she saw in the mirror, she checked the time and hurriedly grabbed the black chain bag she seldom used and went for the door. Right before she touched the door handle, she suddenly stopped and went back to the mirror.

In front of the mirror, she checked to make sure that her mascara didn’t have any clumps, the color on her cheek was perfect, and the lipstick color was just right on her lips. She grabbed the hair conditioning oil on her dresser and applied some to the ends of her fuzzy hair-- --

She could smell the fresh fragrance of the oil.

Tong Yao picked up the bag, then pulled out a brand new yellow shoe box from under her bed-- --She opened the box, revealing a pair of black platform sandals with black strings that wrapped around the ankles, perfectly outlining the contour of the wearer’s feet……

This was also a gift from Jinyang when Tong Yao’s sandal broke in an earlier incident. Jinyang couldn’t stand Tong Yao’s incessant complaints and sent another pair to her.

Tong Yao rushed to put on one of the sandals. She was very satisfied with the additional 5 mm longer the platforms added to her legs. As a plus, she found the platform shoes to be comfortable and rather friendly to someone like her who couldn’t handle high heels-- --She took off the sandal and carried the pair in her hand, then opened the door and ran downstairs……

Her heart was pounding.

She was looking forward to how she would look in front of that man-- --

There were a few people on the first floor by now.

Xiao Rui saw Tong Yao coming down and hastily stuffed Dabing, who was halfway out of the cage already, back into the cage while hiding the can food behind him-- --He was about to say something when he noticed the skirt and Tong Yao’s fair skinned straight legs.

Xiao Rui: “? ? ? What’s this? ? When did we have a girl in our base? ? ?”

Tong Yao didn’t have the time to answer and simply raised her hand like she was going to throw the shoes at Xiao Rui. At that moment, Xiao Rui noticed the logo on her shoes-- --

Lu Sicheng happened to open his door at the same time.

He was wearing a black t-shirt and dark jeans that showed off his broad shoulders and narrow waist line. The well tailored jeans made his long legs stand out-- --His hair looked a little damp, having just come out of the shower. The stubble on his face was now all gone. He leaned against the railing and looked down at Tong Yao: “Did you wait for long?”

Tong Yao: “I just came down.”

Tong Yao put her sandals down and bent over to put them on.

Lu Sicheng walked down stairs and glanced at the sandals in Tong Yao’s hand. He turned around and pulled a pair of black casual shoes that had a pair of yellow triangle monster eyes on them, instead of sneakers or flip-flops. He lowered his head and began putting on his shoes.

Xiao Rui: “? ? ? ? ? ?”

What’s going on? Why would they choose the same brand of shoes to put on?

Xiao Ru’s head was filled with question marks.

Until the two of them walked out the front door of the base after they had their shoes on, Xiao Rui was still standing at the same location, his posture frozen: “What’s going on here?”

Behind him, a large butt wearing Ultraman underwear was protruding past the open refrigerator door. Little Fatty stopped searching for food and looked up at Xiao Rui: “What are you talking about?”

Xiao Rui: “Where are our team’s two Cs going?”

Little Fatty: “They said they’re going to the market to buy goldfish.”

Xiao Rui: “What?”

Little Fatty: “Going to the market to buy goldfish.”

Xiao Rui: “Is it the market next to the Civil Affairs Bureau or the Civil Affairs Bureau right next to the market?”

Little Fatty: “......”

Xiao Rui: “It’s summer, that’s when all the little animals become restless……………………. It’s a date, silly, it’s a date! These two are so blatant, though our club hasn’t disallowed it…...But…...damn, why do I feel so irritated? Nowadays, even a retard and a grade school kid can go on a date, but me, a normal person like me, is still single! ! !”

Those Sweet Times - Chapter 60 Part 3

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



Those Sweet Times
Chapter 60 Part 3

Oblivion was the core of The Fangs. After all the champions he was skilled with were banned or taken by the enemy, The Fangs’ fighting power diminished considerably. They played like one of their legs has been chopped off in the next two rounds.

The Times won the next two rounds and came back to win the championship.

They won the ten thousand RMB award.

Xiang Nuan celebrated their victory with her teammates in the group chat. Then she left a message to Oblivion on WeChat: Don’t you have to go to work? Why are you playing in the collegiate competition? Are you only working part time? Both of our schools are in the same province, we aren’t far away from your school.

After a while, Oblivion sent back a voice clip: “I’m helping out my classmate from grade school. He said he’d give me half of the award money.”

Xiang Nuan replied with a long string of ellipsis.

Oblivion: “You guys played quite well.”

Xiang Nuan: It’s all because we banned all of your champions. Today is already the tenth day of the New Year, why aren’t you at work?

Oblivion: “I can’t go to work now.”

Xiang Nuan: Why is that?

Oblivion: “They bought a new machine to transport bricks, so my boss told us not to go back to work after the New Year.”

Xiang Nuan: …………………………….

Xiang Nuan: Wait a minute, what do you mean by a brick transporting machine?

Oblivion sent her a video clip. In the video, a machine used one of its arms to pick up the bricks on the ground then moves the bricks onto a truck in tidy rows.

Xiang Nuan finally understood. She asked Oblivion: When you said you were moving bricks, you actually were moving bricks?

Oblivion: “En. I don’t have to lie.”

Xiang Nuan: I was the one who misunderstood.

She had thought ‘moving bricks’ was only a nickname for his work. She didn’t expect Oblivion to be entirely honest.

Xiang Nuan asked: Then what are you going to do now?

Oblivion: “I don’t know yet. I’ll see after the 15th. By the way, I plan on sending some sticky rice balls to you. My mom made them herself.”

Quite flattered by the offer, she sent her address right away and remembered to be polite: Thank you!

Oblivion: “You’re welcome. I’ve sent some to Lin Chuyan as well.”

Chuyan, Chuyan, why was there Chuyan everywhere……

-- --

That night Xiang Nuan didn’t have any training. She and Lin Chuyan went online to look for Hu Ge.

Chen Yinghu was streaming. His audience cheered when they heard the news that Xiang Nuan and Lin Chuyan were going to join the stream.

Chen Yinghu asked: “Who are you coming here to see anyway?”

The bullet comments responded in unison:

-- --I am certainly here to see my little fairy Nuannuan. Who are you.

-- --I’m most definitely here to see Chuyan. Who are you.

-- --I’m here to see their pda. Hu Ge, who are you.

-- --Am I the only one here to see his cousin? Hu Ge, where’s your cousin? Oh, right, who are you.

You're Beautiful When You Smile - Chapter 73 Part 2

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com.



You’re Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 73 Part 2 

Tong Yao: “It would be more believable if you hadn’t spoken so harshly-- --Even I think you sound like you’re harassing him.”

“Oh.” Lu Sicheng said: “What do think Little Fatty thought we were doing?”

Tong Yao: “......”

Lu Sicheng: “Still think I’m harassing him?”

Tong Yao: “............”

Tong Yao lowered her head and stayed quiet.

Lu Sicheng yawned, lifted the blanket off himself as he stood up. He went over to the refrigerator to take out a can of cold cola. After taking a sip, noticing that Tong Yao was turned sideways looking at him with a serious look on her face, he paused and asked as if he had just remembered something: “What were you looking at me for?”

Tong Yao: “......Today’s Tuesday.”

Lu Sicheng: “En.”

Tong Yao: “There’s no training session.”

Lu Sicheng: “En?”

Tong Yao lifted her hand, with a little unease, and pulled her hair behind her ear. The sunlight shone through the window on her and Lu Sicheng could see from his angle the side of her fair colored cheek-- --And he could see that her earlobe was turning pink……

Lu Sicheng mover his eyes away, poured the cola down his mouth as his Adam’s apple moved up and down.

After a long while, he heard his team’s mid slowly started talking: “I was thinking that since we don’t have much to do today, I can go with you to the market to buy a goldfish-- --But you hadn’t slept last night because you were playing ranked games. I think perhaps-- --”

Lu Sicheng: “......”

Lu Sicheng threw the empty can into the trash, making a crisp clunk that interrupted Tong Yao. He took a glance at Tong Yao who was sitting on the floor next to the couch. After a long while, he flatly said: “Yeah, ok. Give me half an hour, I need to shower and change.”

Tong Yao: “......”

Lu Sicheng looked down at his own hands and rubbed his fingers together. Then he said heartlessly: “Please wash your hair as well before we go out.”

Tong Yao: “.............”

Lu Sicheng then went upstairs, opened the door, and shut the door close.

With the thud of the closing door, Tong Yao suddenly shivered as if she had just realized something-- --Her brain slowly began to function again until she realized:.....................................Lu Sicheng had agreed to go out with her to the market.

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

It felt like something exploded in her brain. She even forgot to retort back that her hair wasn’t greasy at all. Her brain was occupied by the fact that “he agreed to go to the market with her.” Tong Yao stood up in a daze and floated upstairs as if there were multi-colored clouds under her feet-- --

……

She went upstairs, took a shower, put on facial cream, blew dry her hair, put on body lotion, and put on some makeup.

Tong Yao opened her closet to check, all she had inside the closet were t-shirts and pants. She closed the closet in despair-- --After a few seconds, she came to the realization that was her entire collection of clothes. She quietly opened the closet again and began searching for clothing which weren’t black and white, didn’t have strange words at the front, didn’t have ugly cartoon characters on it, weren’t team uniforms, and didn’t look like men’s clothing. Finally all she had left on the bed was a bunch of shirts that even a high schooler would find boring. She stared at them in thought.

She didn’t know that she had so few shirts.

She regretted never buying some skirts before.

She kicked all the clothes on the bed off then rolled onto the bed. She took out her cell phone and sent a message to Jinyang on WeChat: “Am I a woman after all.” She stopped moving the moment she pressed the button to send the message-- --

Both her eyes brightened.
