Playing Fish Trapped in Secret Room
Book 2: You’re Beautiful
Chapter 5
She quickly took a hot shower after she returned to her room and casually put on a SP uniform.
As she was blow drying her hair, she was still looking at the wet shirt that had been thrown into the bathtub. She was thinking whether she should wash and dry the shirt before returning it?
“Manager!” Her roommate rushed in. “I saw boss’ interview on the sports channel!”
“Last month’s?” She tried to remember and turned off the dryer.
“Right~” The girl held the remote control, swaying left to right, and laughed. Then she saw the black short sleeves in the bathtub. It instantly caught her attention. She picked it up. “Isn’t this K&K’s uniform?”
“En……” Ai Qing didn’t continue the topic.
“Whose uniform?” The girl was even more intrigued. She measured the size and looked at the tag on the collar. “XL? 180cm? Taller than 180cm in K&K------”
Dt and Grunt!
“It’s K&K’s captain Dt.” Ai Qing cleared her throat. “My skirt was wet when I was at the beach. He lent it to me.”
The shirt was from him?
Then, wouldn’t the owner of the shirt be half naked?
She walked out of the bathroom under the gaze of suspicion.
The interview was almost over on the TV.
Solo was dressed in white casual clothes sitting in front of the camera. His eyes were soft and calm as usual. “Esports is different from other sports. Careers are very short. Every youth struggling on this path must understand that the road ahead of you is very long. The effort you need to pay is far more than you can imagine.”
The host laughed and began speaking. In short, he thanked Solo for sharing his professional experience while adding that the esports market has only continued to grow, and gave a prediction on which games would be most popular in the coming years.
She looked at the man on TV and recalled the embarrassing scene in the elevator just now.
“Manger. Should we go?” The girl behind her asked when she noticed the time.
“I am not going. I will order room service. I was freezing cold just now. And the buffet is at the poolside, I feel cold just thinking about it.”
Ai Qing was not a person specifically interested in group parties. She was absent from many dinner parties all the time. The girl was accustomed to it. She took the camera and her jacket and left. Ai Qing turned off the TV and the room was quiet again.
She was famished.
She picked up a large pillow and sat on the bed looking over the menu. None of the items on the menu looked appetizing at all. She looked over and over again, then finally gave up.
Could she sneak out to the restaurant downstairs?
Would they think too much if some players saw her?
But she was really hungry.
She embraced the pillow and rolled around on bed. “Hungry. I want to eat grilled seafood. I really want to eat…...why do I have to hide from them. They should be the ones hiding from me. Ai Qing, you stupid------”
There was a sudden knocking at the door.
She sat up abruptly and baffled.
She threw away the pillow the next second, then jumped off the bed into her slippers, and ran to the door. Phew, calm down. Then she opened the door.
A tall slender man stood in the quiet hallway.
Dt?
She then realized that she only had her underwear beneath the jacket. From his angle higher up looking down, he could see everything inside in a glance------She rapidly pulled the zipper up to the top end in a flash.
But obviously the young man always focused solely on her.
He saw it, so he turned his head aside to look at the end of the hallway. He looked at the row of green plants used for decoration. “I, came to get my shirt.”
“Shirt? Ah, shirt, right shirt, your shirt.” Ai Qing responded frantically. “I will wash and dry it then return it to you. I have an international long distance phone call soon. I can’t talk. Bye.”
She moved back two steps and shut the door with a BAM after she finished.
Then she leaned her back against the door with her entire body. There was a flame burning inside her heart and it felt as if the heat would scorch her. It had mercilessly swept over her whole body.
It was ok. It was ok. Calm down. Calm down. He certainly didn’t see anything.
Ai Qing kept comforting herself, but she still couldn’t help covering her face. Oh heavens. She couldn’t face anybody now. Maybe she should just leave tomorrow or disappear until the Hainan preliminary competition was over……
Dt stood outside the door for a long time.
As he hadn’t seen her at the poolside grill, he had come over to see whether she had caught a cold or felt unwell.
But now------
His brain had short circuited that all he could do was just stand there. He couldn’t figure out what had happened until he heard the sound of the neighboring door opening, accompanied by the joyful talking of several girls. He finally woke up and turned around passing by three girls walking from the opposite side.
“Ah? Isn’t that K&K’s captain?”
“Right. Why is he using the stairs instead of the elevator? It is the eighth floor.”
“I heard that K&K’s boss likes to punish his team members, so probably he’s used to it?”
Leaving their discussion behind him, he pushed open the door to the stairwell and walked into the darkness. In that pitch-dark space, he stumbled over two steps……
He steadied himself against the wall.
His eyes underneath the brim of the hat was still flustered. It was the kind that even himself couldn’t control.
