Tingyi left.

There was a dead silence in the storage room.

"Xiaoying, in fact, Tingyi's words just now are what I have always wanted to say to you," Mei Ling hesitated for a long time, and finally said with a straight face, "We all know that you hope that Baicao can defeat Tingyi, and that Baicao can replace Tingyi in the World Championships." Baicao is your good friend, and it's not surprising that you have this thought. ”

"It's just that Tingyi is also our teammate." Mei Ling bit her lip, "Before, I didn't want to mess up the atmosphere in the team, so you said something hurtful to Tingyi, but I didn't say much. But from now on, I won't do that again. ”

"Xiaoying, think about it."

Closing the door of the locker, Mei Ling whispered to Baicao again:

"I'm sorry, Momokusa."

"Xiaoying......"

Seeing that Xiaoying kept her shoes on with her head stuffed and didn't move, Baicao shouted in a daze. She didn't know what she should say, she knew that Xiaoying was all because of her, and when she heard Tingyi and Mei Ling say that, her heart seemed to be blocked, and she was so dense that she couldn't breathe.

"It's fine."

Xiaoying bent down to pick up the shoes on the ground, put them in the locker, took out the Taoist clothes as if nothing happened, closed the cabinet door, and said:

"Let's go, we still have to clean up."

"Well, good!"

Seeing that she was back to normal, Baicao hurriedly closed the cabinet. She changed into her uniform, picked up a rag and rushed to the training hall, which had just finished the advertising shoot, and the training hall should be messy.

******

Yifeng changed into a uniform and walked into the training hall, looked at the whole room that was so neat that it was shining, and whistled in surprise: "Baicao, it's really different when you come back." Xiaoying, study hard, don't be lazy all day long! The mat of the past days was so dirty that it was almost muddy. ”

"Cut, you can exaggerate a little more!"

Xiaoying said disdainfully, viciously throwing a rag at Yifeng's feet as if it were unintentional. Yifeng yawned, stretched a lazy waist, and stepped over easily, so angry that Xiaoying rolled his eyes.

"I'm not late!"

The clock hand on the wall will be about to turn to nine o'clock in the morning, Guangya while wearing the black belt on the uniform, while rushing into the training hall in a panic: "The bus actually broke down halfway, and it took a long time to repair, so I knew that I would directly change to the next bus." ”

"No ......"

Before Baicao finished speaking, the glass door was pushed open, and Shen Ning walked in.

Sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Shen Ning wears a cheongsam, green and white broken lattice, fresh and elegant, her skin is fair, her eyebrows and eyes are more charming than before, and a jade hairpin is obliquely inserted in her bun, like a lady beauty who has come out of an ancient painting.

"Baicao."

His eyes fell on Baicao in the team, Shen Ning smiled lightly and said:

"It is said that in this taekwondo summer training camp, you performed very well, won every game, won the honor of the best winning camper, and got a generous bonus, right?"

“…… Yes. ”

Baicao's face was slightly red.

"Good."

Shen Ning nodded and smiled at her.

However, when Shen Ning's gaze swept around every player present and fell back to Baicao, the smile on the corner of her lips disappeared.

"But, I must warn you, Baicao." Shen Ning raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "No matter who you have defeated in Korea, no matter who has taught you taekwondo for a long time, in Anyang, here, you are still just an ordinary team member. ”

“…… Be. ”

"Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Louder!"

"Yes!"

Hyakusa replied with all the strength of his body.

"Hmm." Shen Ning nodded slightly, and said to all the team members, "Okay, now, start training!" ”

"Drink ——!"

"Drink ——!"

"Drink ——!"

In the neat leg practice of all the team members, Xiaoying threw a few worried looks, and Baicao was a little distracted, not because of Shen Ning's words just now, but because she hadn't seen Senior Brother Ruobai until now!

"Drink ——!"

Follow your teammates and kick back! When he turned around, Baicao looked uneasily at the door of the training hall, the glass door was still quietly closed, not moving.

"Drink ——!"

Full □□ kicks!

The glass door seemed to be sealed, and no one entered.

"Okay, next, let's work in pairs." Shen Ning looked at the players in front of him who had begun to sweat, "Everyone must master the rhythm, and kick out directly when it's time to kick out, don't grind there." As soon as you pause, the opponent will have time to take precautions, and he will fall from active to passive, understand? ”

"Yes!"

The team members answered in unison and stood in groups.

Baicao turned.

She stood in a daze, where she usually stood, but there was no Ruobai in the same group as her opposite, and she was left alone.

"Report to the coach!" Xiaoying raised her hand.

"Say."

"If Senior Brother Bai didn't come...... Xiao Ying said hesitantly, "There is only one person in Baicao, so there is no way to practice." ”

"Hmm," Shen Ning couldn't see any expression on his face, "Baicao, can you assume that there are teammates on the other side and practice alone?" ”

"Yes."

Baicao replied immediately.

"Good ......"

"Coach!" Xiao Ying hurriedly raised her hand again, interrupting Shen Ning's unfinished words, "I can quit the training, so that I can give one person to Baicao!" ”

Shen Ning smiled slightly.

"The last time Tingyi returned to the team, I remember Ruobai saying that it would be unfair to Baicao if Tingyi broke the group that had formed a tacit understanding because of Tingyi. Why, do you want to regroup again for the sake of the herbs now? ”

Xiaoying was embarrassed.

"I can do it!" Baicao blushed and said loudly, "I can do it alone." Moreover, if Senior Brother Bai should have missed today's training because of something, he would never be like this, coach, don't be angry......"

In the training hall, hearing Baicao's words, the team members looked a little strange. Tingyi looked at Baicao, Lin Feng and Mei Ling glanced at each other, Guangya wanted to speak and stopped, Shen Bo pushed the black-framed glasses, and Yifeng frowned.

Hyakusa sensed the anomaly.

She was a little flustered in her heart, and looked at everyone uneasily, did she say something wrong?

"Hmm, that's good," Shen Ning smiled, retracted his gaze, and said, "Keep training, listen to my commands-"

"Forward kick!"

"Drink ——!"

"Horizontal kick!"

"Drink ——!"

"Split!"

"Drink ——!"

In the spacious and bright practice hall, in addition to Baicao, the team members were divided into groups of two, one person held a foot target, and the other person shouted in unison with Shen Ning's password, doing actions over and over again.

Finally the training is over.

Because there was no partner, Baicao did twice as many attacks as other team members, and stood in the team covered in sweat, she didn't care about wiping, just anxious to figure out what was wrong? Why is it that when Senior Brother Ruobai is mentioned, everyone's expressions are so strange.

Wait until Coach Shen Ning summarizes after training.

Baicao was about to ask Xiaoying immediately-

Shen Ning's figure paused, then turned back. She looked at the team members thoughtfully, smiled and said, "Since Baicao performed well in South Korea and got a bonus, and Tingyi defeated Shimizu Asami and also got a bonus, why don't you get together tonight and have a good time?" ”

"Yay!"

Mei Ling cheered, and Kou Zhen and they excitedly agreed.

"Where to go?"

Shen Bo was also interested.

"I'll arrange it."

Tingyi said with a smile.

"Well," Shen Ning smiled at Tingyi, waved to everyone, and said, "Then I'll see you in the evening, Tingyi will be responsible for informing everyone of the specific time and place." ”

"Yes."

Tingyi responded.

Waiting for Shen Ning's figure to disappear outside the door of the training hall, avoiding the teammates who were happily discussing the dinner party at night, Tingyi pulled Baicao to a corner and said:

"You don't have to worry about tonight's expenses, I'll bear it alone."

"No, you don't." Baicao hurriedly shook his head and said a little embarrassed, "I can do it, I'...... I got quite a lot of bonuses......"

"That's good."

Tingyi nodded and didn't say much.

"Please wait a minute," Baicao called out to Tingyi, facing her, and said uneasily, "Those words you said before training...... Please don't get me wrong. ”

"Oh? Misunderstand? Tingyi smiled indifferently, "Is her hostility towards me fake?" ”

"Xiaoying is just, sometimes she speaks more impulsively," Baicao's face flushed slightly, "She doesn't have malicious intentions, she doesn't really want to target you, she's like this because of me, I should apologize to you." Please don't affect your relationship with Xiaoying because of me. ”

As she spoke, she bent down to Tingyi.

"I'm sorry."

Tingyi's gaze gradually turned cold, she looked coldly at Baicao, who was bowing and apologizing in front of her, and said, "I'm sorry, what you said was too easy." Do you know how much I've lost because of you? ”

Baicao was stunned.

Tingyi left without looking back, and the glass door slammed shut.

******

"What?"

The rag froze on the mat, waking up from Tingyi's words just now, Baicao looked at Xiaoying in disbelief, she was completely confused, this is impossible, how could this kind of thing happen?

"It's true......"

Xiaoying scratched her head, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart.

"I didn't dare to tell you yesterday that you just came back from South Korea......"

"You mean, Senior Brother Ruobai quarreled with Coach Shen Ning?" Interrupting her, Baicao repeated in shock what she had just heard, "And then Senior Brother Ruobai never came to train again?" ”

"Yes." Xiaoying's face was embarrassed, "At that time, many people heard it, and in Coach Shen Ning's office, Senior Brother Ruobai was very angry, and his voice was quite loud. ”

“……”

Baicao froze.

“…… Why the noise? ”

After a while, Baicao barely shook his nerve from the shock.

"Uh," Xiaoying scratched her head again, looked at Baicao, and said with a fuss, "It seems to be ...... Looks like it's because you're ......."

"Me?"

"At that time, I also heard ...... In the dispute between Senior Brother Ruobai and Coach Shen Ning, 'Baicao' and 'Tingyi' were mentioned many times," Xiaoying's throat was dry, she swallowed, and said, "Actually, I can't complain that Senior Brother Ruobai is angry, I knew it at the time, and I was also angry." ”

"What is it for?"

"Uh...... It's still the World Championships......" Xiaoying didn't dare to look at her, and said frustratedly, "Tingyi has been scheduled to participate in the World Championships, so there is no need to be selected." ”

“……”

"It's so unfair!" As she spoke, Xiaoying's anger came up, "Why, everyone fights the game, whoever wins and who wins, there is nothing to say!" Why is it decided directly? Is fame more important than anything else? ”

Baicao is dumbfounded.

Her heart sank little by little. During this time in South Korea, she thought that she was getting closer and closer to her dream, but suddenly realized that it was getting farther and farther.

"So Senior Brother Ruobai is very angry," Xiao Ying smiled dryly, "Seeing that Senior Brother Ruobai usually looks cold and indifferent, I didn't expect that the fire would be so fierce, and he would dare to talk to Coach Shen Ning like that." ”

“……”

"Then, Senior Brother Ruobai never came again." Xiaoying sighed.

"Is it Coach Shen Ning who won't allow Senior Brother Ruobai to come again?" Baicao asked urgently.

"That's not true," Xiao Ying thought hard, "Coach Shen Ning came out of the office that day, his face was very, very ugly, but I didn't hear her say such a thing as expelling Senior Brother Ruobai. I think...... It was Brother Ruobai who was protesting, expressing his anger and opposition with his actions. ”

“……”

After staying for a long time, Baicao Huo Ran got up.

"Baicao!"

Xiaoying was startled, and subconsciously wanted to pull Baicao's uniform, but Baicao's figure had disappeared at the door of the training hall like a gale!

For the rest of the day, Hyakusa searched all the places where Ruobai might appear.

There is no Wakahaku in the dormitory of the Shobai Dokan.

The disciples said that they hadn't seen Ruobai for several days, and the recent training was all led by the hall master himself.

Under the bright sun, she ran to Ruobai's university.

During the summer vacation, the campus was quiet, and she checked the school dormitory management office for a long time. The teacher on duty said that Ruobai did not live in the school and did not have a bunk in the school. During this time, two college boys came, heard her looking for Ruobai, and told her that they were Ruobai's classmates, and they were also looking for Ruobai. If she finds Ruobai, remember to remind him that the National English Professional Skills Competition will start in three days, and don't miss the pre-competition training.

She also traveled to all the places where Ruobai often worked.

Ah Ying from the chubby food stall said that Ruobai hadn't been here for many days. The manager of the translation agency hugged her the documents that were more than a foot high, saying that these were all documents that the old customer had indicated to Ruobai to translate, and they had been waiting for Ruobai for a long time. The manager asked her to tell Ruobai that she must buy a mobile phone in the future, so that she would not be able to find him.

Walking down the street in a daze with the thick stack of papers, Baicao finally remembered another place-

Little Star Bilingual Kindergarten!

That's where Wakahaku only goes to work during the summer vacation, and although he doesn't have a lot of money, Wakahaku likes kindergarten children very much, and he takes time to go every other day.

She was sweating and running there, it was already kindergarten end time.

The principal waved goodbye to each of the children and replied that Ruobai hadn't been here for a while. The director took out a large cardboard box and handed it to her, which was filled with various cards painted with graffiti, handmade paper boots, wind chimes made of plastic beads, and so on. The principal smiled and said that this was all made by the children for Ruobai, and the children missed Brother Ruobai who could tell English stories vividly and interestingly, and hoped that Ruobai could come back as soon as possible.

The sun is setting.

Putting the thick translation document into the large cardboard box, Baicao held it blankly, and walked around the street again and again, she always hoped to be able to find Ruobai's figure in the next second, but every time she hurriedly turned her head, she found that it was not.

The evening glow reflected the red sky.

She returned to the Songbai Gym.

Standing in front of Ruobai's dormitory, she waited blankly. One by one, the disciples walked in front of her, bowed to her, and she returned the salute mechanically, her mind white.

"Haven't found it yet?"

When it was getting dark, Yifeng returned. Picking up the large cardboard box she had placed on the ground, Yifeng opened the door and let her in. The dormitory was simple and clean, and Baicao had never been in before, but he could recognize at a glance that the bed by the window belonged to Ruobai.

The sheets were exceptionally clean.

The thin quilt is neatly folded.

On the desk next to the bed, a notebook, a jar of ink, a pen holder, a few brushes are inserted in the pen holder, and the newspaper used to practice calligraphy is folded on the right side of the table.

"Don't worry, Ruobai will be back after a while." Seeing Baicao looking at Ruobai's bed and desk in a daze, Yifeng coughed and comforted her.

"You know where Ruobai is, don't you?"

Baicao's body shook, she was reminded, and turned her head sharply to stare at him, her eyes shining brightly.

"I don't know."

Yifeng smiled bitterly, Ruobai was like suddenly evaporating from the world. If he hadn't known Ruobai's personality before, and before he disappeared, Ruobai stayed up all night to do all the work of translating documents, he would have been as worried as she was.

"You know!" Baicao stared at him.

"I really don't know."

"Last time, you said you didn't know, but that time you actually lied to me," biting his lip, Baicao begged, "Senior Brother Yifeng, could you please tell me?" I really want to know where Senior Brother Ruobai is......"

"I said, I really don't know," Yifeng was helpless, "Ruobai didn't say anything, and disappeared so suddenly." If I find him, I'm going to beat him up, and this guy, even if he's going to play missing, at least tell me. ”

Keep an eye on him.

Baicao's heart is getting heavier and heavier, well, she believes that Yifeng doesn't know either. However, if Yifeng didn't know Ruobai's whereabouts, would Ruobai be......

Fear gripped her.

Her face suddenly turned pale, she didn't say a word, turned around and rushed towards the door stiffly!

"What are you going to do?" Yifeng grabbed her.

"I'm going to find Senior Brother Ruobai!"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'll go with you tomorrow to find it," looking at the clock on the wall, Yifeng said, "You hurry up and change your clothes, it's half past seven, don't be late." ”

"Late?"

Baicao didn't know what he was talking about.

"Tingyi has already notified the place of the dinner, it is the Ventia Hotel, and the time is eight o'clock in the evening," Yifeng looked at her, "You go take a shower and change your clothes, now you are covered in sweat, it will be very rude to go to the hotel like this." I'll wait for you at the door of your dormitory in a while, it's too late, call Xiaoying, let's take a taxi together. ”

“……”

Baicao looked at him blankly, as if he had heard something incredible.

"Let's go."

"I'm going to find Senior Brother Ruobai!" There was anger in Baicao's eyes, "If I can't find Senior Brother Ruobai, how can I be in the mood to go to dinner!" ”

"Because that was Coach Shen Ning who asked everyone to go," Yifeng's tone also became stern, "So you have to go, and you can't be late!" ”

"I'm not going."

"You say it again?" Yi Feng glared at her.

"I'm going to find Senior Brother Ruobai, but I can't find Senior Brother Ruobai, I won't go!" His chest rose and fell violently, and Baicao said in a hard voice, "If it weren't for Coach Shen Ning, Senior Brother Ruobai wouldn't have disappeared suddenly, and ...... And anyway, Coach Shen Ning doesn't like me, so it doesn't matter if I go or not. ”

"The protagonists of this dinner are you and Tingyi, if you don't go, what will Coach Shen Ning think!" Staring at her, seeing that she was still stubborn, Yifeng was about to continue scolding, but suddenly his expression changed, and he smiled lazily again, and said, "Okay, then don't go." ”

Yifeng raised his eyebrows and said:

"Anyway, Ruobai has already offended Coach Shen Ning because of you, and if you can't get off the stage because of Ruobai, you can just leave the training center like Ruobai. When Ruobai comes back and finds out that you have also been expelled, he must be very, very, and happy. ”

“……”

Baicao bit his lip stubbornly.

"Ruobai has put so much time and effort into you," Yifeng yawned as he sat on his bed, "Ah, no, Ruobai will be very happy." You are so righteous, he fell out with Coach Shen Ning, and you also fell out immediately, anyway, you are advancing and retreating together, and you don't need to think about helping Ruobai recover from Coach Shen Ning in the future. ”

"Bang ——!"

As the night wore on, the door shook. Looking at the stiff back of Baicao disappearing on the path, Yifeng lay on his back on the bed and sighed.

******

Hotel Ventia.

"Wow."

Still in the taxi, Xiaoying was shocked.

At night, the hotel was getting closer and closer, brilliant and gorgeous, brightly lit, I had long known that Ventia was the most upscale hotel in the city, but I always felt that that kind of place had nothing to do with me, and I didn't expect to have dinner here tonight.

"Good evening."

The taxi stopped in front of the revolving glass door of Ventia, and the handsome waiter politely opened the door for the three of them.

"Late, good evening."

Being served by such a handsome waiter, Xiaoying got out of the taxi and suddenly stuttered a little. Whether to tip or not, she struggled with the question in her head. Also, hey, in front of such a luxurious hotel, why is she the only one who is panicking, but Yifeng and Baicao are so calm?

Hurriedly turned his head to look.

Yifeng was actually stretching his waist, looking like he wanted to sleep, and Xiaoying glared at him. Thanks to him for changing into a black shirt and blue slacks tonight, she also wanted to praise him for being rare and handsome, and sure enough, the country is easy to change and difficult to change, hum.

Look at the herbs again.

Baicao wore the cotton white dress, which she bought with Baicao before going to South Korea. Well, the vision is really good, Xiaoying praises herself a little narcissistically.

In the crystal revolving glass door, wearing this cotton white dress, Baicao's short hair is refreshing, her eyes are black, and she is as fresh as a gust of wind blowing in her face.

Pity.

Baicao's expression was not quite right, and he looked unconcerned, as if he had not noticed the luxury and splendor of the hotel at all.

"You're here!"

Mei Ling, who was waiting in the lobby, pounced over, she was wearing a small golden dress skirt, shining brightly in the light, her hair was tied into a bud on the top of her head, and she was cute and beautiful.

"Wow, Baicao is so beautiful today," Mei Ling looked at Baicao in surprise, "It's the first time I've seen you wear a skirt, it's very beautiful, you have to wear more in the future!" ”

"I picked it for her!" Seeing that Baicao was stunned as if she was sleepwalking, Xiaoying immediately took over the topic and said proudly, "Look, I'm dressed up well!" ”

"Well, the pink cake dress is quite cute, and the pink wide hairband on your head is also very good-looking," Mei Ling commented while taking them away, "It's just that the cake dress seems to be popular last year, won't it be a little ......?"

"Cut, what do you know," Xiaoying triumphantly, "What was popular last year, it will be cheaper to buy this year, anyway, as long as it looks good." ”

"Haha, that's right." Mei Ling said with a smile.

Then Yifeng and Baicao were directly ignored by these two.

was taken all the way by Mei Ling to the depths of the hotel, Xiaoying's mouth opened wider and wider. The hall was spacious, with its glittering chandeliers, its intricate tapestry curtains, its velvet chairs, its silvery cutlery, and every waiter handsome enough to be a star.

"Wow."

Xiaoying was deeply shocked.

As Mei Ling walked through the hall and through the golden corridor, the floor was covered with soft and beautiful carpets, and a beautiful oil painting hung every few steps on both sides of the corridor, Xiao Ying muttered:

"It's very, very, very expensive......"

"I've only been here once, and I'm still dining in the hall, it's an elder in the family who treats me, and it seems to be very expensive." Mei Ling was also very emotional, "But we're not in the hall tonight, but—"

At the end of the corridor, there were two thick and ornate doors, and two handsome waiters were waiting gracefully at the door. Seeing the group of four of them approaching, the two waiters gently pulled the door open at the same time, and said:

"Please."

Looking at the scene displayed by Huo Ran in front of her, Xiaoying was dumbfounded.

Baicao was also stunned.

Yifeng rubbed his eyes.

"—in this ballroom." Mei Ling shook her head and said, "I only heard that there is a banquet hall in the Hotel Vantia that can be compared to the world's top hotels, but it has never only received high-level heads of state and super distinguished guests from all over the world. ”

Baicao looked at it in amazement.

This banquet hall has nearly half the size of the hall. The floor is covered with beautiful carpets embroidered with black and white patterns, and the ornate crystal chandeliers hang high, illuminating the interior as bright as day, but with a warm glow.

A revolving round table in white marble.

A dreamy purple velvet backrest seat, with an ice-carved swan in the center of the round table, crystal elegant, with a proud neck on its back, glittering in the light, surrounded by flowers. In front of each seat, the cutlery was already arranged, silver knives and forks, crystal goblets, crisp white napkins, and bone china plates and saucers as thin as cicada wings.

On the other side of the ballroom, several sets of sofas and coffee tables are carefully arranged.

Shen Bo, Lin Feng, and Kou Zhen had already arrived, and they were sitting there talking and laughing happily. The sofas are all purple velvet, surrounded by single, double, and multi-person, with different styles, but each one is beautiful and elegant and retro. Under the ornate curtains, there are floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and the beautiful night view can be seen at a glance.

“…… How much money did you bring with you? ”

The arm was held by a trembling hand, Baicao turned her head in a daze, and when she saw Xiaoying's face pale, she leaned over and said in her ear in fear:

“…… I think tonight's dinner will cost a lot of money...... Oh my God, even if it was only half of the cost, it would be astronomical......"

"Yifeng, Baicao, Xiaoying, you are here." From the purple velvet sofa, Tingyi stood up with a smile, "Wait a minute, dinner is about to start." ”

Although Xiaoying's mind was still in chaos, she didn't know how much this meal would cost, but she didn't want to open her mouth to ask about the checkout, which lost Baicao's face. Seeing Lin Feng sitting on the sofa and waving to them, Xiaoying pulled Baicao and went over with Mei Ling, trying to let herself enjoy it first.

The waiters politely served champagne.

After a few more minutes, Coach Shen Ning was ushered in by the waiter, and everyone got up to greet them and began to take their seats. Coach Shen Ning sat in the main seat, Baicao sat with Lin Feng and Xiaoying, and Xiaoying whispered to Mei Ling. Baicao occasionally raised his eyes and saw that although Tingyi was sitting next to Coach Shen Ning, smiling and smiling, she was a little distracted, and her eyes were always looking at the door of the banquet hall.

Moreover, the other position next to Tingyi was empty.

Baicao looked around in a daze, except for Senior Brother Ruobai, all the people in the team had arrived. Suddenly, her heart moved, so, is that seat reserved for Senior Brother Ruobai? Be...... Did Tingyi arrange for Senior Brother Ruobai to appear on this occasion to ease the atmosphere between Coach Shen Ning and Senior Brother Ruobai?

My heart is beating faster!

She stared at the door, too—

Maybe—

Maybe in the next moment—

Like a silent movie, the two heavy doors slowly opened, and Tingyi looked happy and stood up from her seat. Under the brilliant light, under the diligent guidance of the waiters, a slender and elegant young man walked in, as gentle as a spring breeze, and he had a faint light all over his body.

Baicao looked at him in a daze.

Suddenly a little empty in my heart, no, that's not Senior Brother Ruobai.

Xiao Ying also turned her head to look at it in hindsight, and when she saw someone coming, she shouted in surprise: "Senior Brother Hatsuhara, you are here!" She was just about to pounce, but found that Tingyi had already arrived at the door, gently holding Chu Yuan's arm, Xiao Ying flattened her mouth, and had to sit back again.

"I thought you wouldn't be able to make it."

Tingyi smiled, led Chu Yuan to the banquet, and walked towards the reserved position. When Hakuhara passed by, Baicao lowered his head.

What happened in South Korea, after returning home, felt so unreal, like a dream, the fireworks that bloomed in the night sky, and the Ferris wheel as transparent as glass.

The waiters served delicate dishes one after another, and the herbs ate silently, but they could hardly taste the taste.

She originally thought that if Coach Shen Ning was in a good mood at the party tonight, she would go and ask Coach Shen Ning so that Senior Brother Ruobai could come back. And now, throughout the meal, Coach Shen Ning was talking and laughing with Tingyi and Chu Yuan, and the atmosphere was unusually harmonious and cheerful, and there was no chance for others to intervene.

After a hearty dinner.

Xiaoying and Mei Ling opened the karaoke in the west area of the banquet hall, grabbed the microphone and started singing, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, Lin Feng, Kou Zhen, and Guangya also joined the ranks of singing. The waiters politely brought a variety of drinks to cheer everyone up. From the tray handed by the waiter, Baicao took a cup of green drink, she took a sip carefully, the cold mint flavor, cool, and a smell of wine, quite delicious.

She looked at Coach Shen Ning on the other side of the banquet hall again.

In the purple velvet sofa, Coach Shen Ning was also wearing a dark purple silk cheongsam tonight, with fair skin, charming and charming, still sitting with Tingyi and Chu Yuan, talking and laughing.

Baicao took another cup of that green drink in a daze.

Before she knew it, she drank cup after glass.

Her head began to feel a little heavy, sullen, and a little breathless, and when she saw a door on the east side of the banquet hall, she held the drink in her hand, and walked away from her cheerful teammates, and walked over in a daze.

A cool night breeze blows.

The sky is full of stars.

It was a balcony, green climbing plants, full of dense and unknown beautiful flowers, fragrant and refreshing in the night. Baicao took a deep breath, her sore head felt better, she stood against the fence, and took another sip of her drink, but her heart was even more uncomfortable.

"You're here."

I don't know how long later, someone came to her. Her head was so dizzy that she couldn't see who the man was, and she squinted her eyes as she struggled to see.

"Are you drunk?"

The man sniffed her and seemed to frown, took the drink from her hand, and tried to help her into the wicker chair on the balcony.

“…… Senior Brother Ruobai? ”

The frowning look was so familiar that she was startled, and she stumbled forward, grabbed the man's arm, widened her eyes, stared straight at the man, and said with some slurred words:

"Senior Brother Ruobai...... I've been looking for you...... Where have you been...... Why can't I find ......"

"I'm not Ruobai, I'm the first plain." The man answered her.

“……”

Baicao stared at him blankly, as if she didn't understand, and after a while, she shook her head vigorously, and the movement was so big that he hurried to hold her head.

"You're drunk," he said with her firmly in his arms, Hatsuhara worried, "you shouldn't drink too much, this cocktail is very high." ”

"Senior Brother Hatsuhara......"

In the hazy image, she finally understood that it was Hatsuhara in front of her, not Ruobai. Stunned, she asked blankly:

“…… But why are you here...... Aren't you supposed to ...... Are you with Tingyi? ”

"Baicao."

“…… You...... You go and stay with Tingyi......" she struggled to push him away, "...... I'm going to find Senior Brother Ruobai......"

"Baicao!" Hatsuhara hurriedly hugged her, "What's wrong with you?" ”

“…… I was mistaken...... I thought...... I thought...... However, you are always with Tingyi...... You two are always together......" she struggled, she stared blankly at the person in front of her, her vision still blurred, and her mind was in chaos. “…… You see...... On that day, I shouldn't have gone to the amusement park, if Senior Brother Bai was still angry, how could I go to the amusement park...... I should stay and ask for Brother Ruobai's forgiveness...... Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept me from finding him...... He must still be angry......"

"I'm not with Tingyi!" Chu Yuan frowned and said, "Originally, I was on night duty today, but Tingyi called and said that you had dinner tonight and asked me to come." I asked the chief physician for leave, and asked my classmates to substitute for me, so I came late. ”

“…… You sit with Tingyi......"

"But there's only one place. If I asked to change seats with Xiaoying, I was worried that it would make the scene embarrassing. ”

“……”

Held in his arms, his breath filled with his breath, Baicao was stunned, trying to think about his words.

The stars are shining.

The night breeze is blowing.

Hatsuhara closed his eyes and hugged her in his arms.

"I'm sorry."

He kissed the top of her hair and whispered:

"I see. It's me who did it wrong, and it won't be like that again. ”

Surrounded by his breath, Baicao couldn't think, and the strength of the wine surged upward, and her eyelids became very heavy, and she couldn't open them at all. However, there was one thing in her heart that made her continue to struggle in his arms, saying:

“…… I'm going to find Senior Brother Ruobai......"

"Ruobai? Okay, I'll accompany you to him. ”

"Now, now, go ......"

"Okay," Hatsuhara picked her up, "You're drunk, I'll send you back to the gym first, and then I'll go find Ruobai." ”

Hearing his words, she relaxed, and her consciousness gradually became confused, just when she thought she had fallen asleep in the crook of his arm—

"Bang"!

The balcony door was opened!

The sound of music, laughter, and noise rose up like a bomb, Lin Feng, Xiaoying, Kou Zhen, Guangya, and Shen Bo, all of them were so excited that they were full of red smiles, Tingyi was pushed to the front by everyone, and Mei Ling shouted happily:

"Chu Yuan seniors, come and sing a duet with Tingyi's love song!"

And then—

Everything seemed to be frozen, and under the starlight, everyone was dumbfounded to see the picture of Hatsuhara holding Baicao in his arms like a princess.

Quiescence......

Freeze......

Petrifaction......
