Chapter 128: Playoffs
When Bai Weiyu and Xiao Nianyuan returned to City C from S City, it was already the morning of September 2. It was also the last day of their week-long vacation.
After each went home to rest, the two had dinner together and returned to the training base of the IC Esports Club. As soon as I entered the training base, I happened to meet Su Hao and Lin Jingming who were holding ice Coke.
"Sister Xiao, you're moving." Su Hao looked at Bai Weiyu carrying a backpack and pulling a twenty-inch suitcase in one hand, and Xiao Nianyuan carrying a small backpack and pulling a fourteen-inch suitcase in his hand. couldn't help but widen his eyes and sighed.
He was sure that only the backpack on Bai Weiyu's back was his own, and the others were Xiao Nianyuan's luggage. He also knows that girls have a lot of things, but this ...... Seems like a lot.
"I don't like I have a lot of things, tell you, I have a box of snacks for you, my mother sent me a big box from abroad. It's useless if no one puts it at home, but Xiaoyue doesn't seem to like snacks very much, right, Bai Weiyu. ”
Xiao Nianyuan patted the fourteen-inch suitcase in his hand and said with a smile, and deliberately looked at Bai Weiyu as he spoke, pretending to be a serious inquiry.
"Come, Sister Xiao has worked hard, you drink first, and I'll help you move things." Before Bai Weiyu could reply, Su Hao hurriedly pulled open the pull tab of the Coke can in his hand, put the straw in, and then handed it to Xiao Nianyuan with both hands, and said with a smile.
Xiao Nianyuan took the cola proudly and handed the suitcase in his hand to Su Hao. Lin Jingming held his Coke in one hand and took a suitcase in Bai Weiyu's hand with the other. The four of them went up to the second floor together and delivered Xiao Nianyuan's luggage to the door of her room.
After Xiao Nianyuan went back to the room and sorted out her things, she took out the big box of snacks sent back by her mother from abroad and went to the training room.
The other four people in the training room were already there, and seeing that Xiao Nianyuan brought so much delicious food, the five of them ate together for a while, and then devoted themselves to training.
