You're Beautiful When You Smile
Chapter 62 Part 2

The conversation between the owner and Lu Sicheng which Tong Yao didn't hear actually went like this-- --

The owner: “You're buying so much crayfish. Are you throwing a party at home with your girlfriend?”

Lu Sicheng: “She's not my girlfriend, just a teammate.”

He replied instinctively. But afterwards, when he handed his bank card over, he paused and turned to take a look at the person sitting behind. Tong Yao was sitting at the table right behind him, with both knees bent down to put her feet on the stretcher under the chair. She was looking at him eagerly with bright pupils, just like a quiet, furry puppy waiting for its owner.

Lu Sicheng: “......”

When both of their eyes met, Tong Yao was the first one to move her eyes away.

“Nonsense. Look at the way she's looking at you; it's how a girl looks at her boyfriend or husband. I've been in this business long enough to tell the difference……” The owner smilingly said: “The girl seems to like you a lot.”

“......”

“Don't hurt her feelings even if you don't like her.”

Lu Sicheng took the receipt from the owner and mumbled, “en.” Then he smiled and signed his name at the bottom of the slip.

Afterwards, he went back to the table and sat down next to Tong Yao again.

Tong Yao: “What were you talking about with the owner with such a sweet smile?”

Lu Sicheng: “Is there something wrong with your eyes?”

Tong Yao: “Did the owner give you a discount?”

Lu Sicheng: “No.”

Tong Yao: “Then what exactly could he say that make you smile so sweet and happy?”

Lu Sicheng: “The owner said that you were looking at me like a girl mesmerized by her boyfriend.”

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

Tong Yao: “Bulls.h.i.t! The owner wouldn't say such silly things.”

She could only discredit the owner's words.

Yet, she couldn't deny her own actions.

Lu Sicheng just smiled without a retort. He simply let Tong Yao think he was just making it all up. While waiting for the second batch, Lu Sicheng continued to watch the news and read forums on his phone-- --Tong Yao took a glance and discovered that he actually read all those forums, like Tieba. In other words, he was fully aware of all the latest gossip. He just never talked about it.

All the things that had happened lately including his blind date, their 1v1 this morning, and fans suggesting the most proper date to get a marriage certificate…...When she thought about all these, Tong Yao felt her face starting to burn again. With one hand supporting her head, she turned to look the other way-- --

Within the next 35 minutes, while they were waiting for the crayfish to cook, they hardly exchanged any words.

After all the orders of crayfish were brought to the front, they counted to make sure they had all the orders, then picked up all the bags-- --Lu Sicheng carried the majority of the bags while Tong Yao only had a few in her hands. They walked out of the restaurant.  After some distance, Tong Yao was already sweating all over: “Why exactly can't we order delivery?”

“This restaurant doesn't deliver that far away.” Lu Sicheng said while putting down the bags he was carrying: “Let's take a rest.”

Tong Yao was going to say that she could still handle it. But as she turned her head, she noticed that Lu Sicheng was rubbing his wrist. Tong Yao slightly paused in surprise, then rushed over. She dropped down the bags in her hands to check Lu Sicheng's wrists: “What happened? Your hands hurt? Did you hurt your wrists?”

“......I've been playing professionally for so long, mostly as the AD carry. Isn't it normal to have some occupational injuries?” Lu Sicheng calmly said, but he didn't yank Tong Yao's hand away. “It's only the strain from intensive training from creep farming. As long as I don't do any heavy lifting-- --”
