Qin Chengyao: "Siyue, will you resent me?"
Ji Siyue's body paused slightly, and she couldn't help sighing inwardly.
Why did they suddenly get back to this topic again?
It had been several years. Although the pain from that time still lingered, it was no longer the kind that she could cry out about everywhere. Moreover, this man had sacrificed so much for her. He had given up his family, his company, and his reputation just to be with her. What else could she ask for?
Ji Siyue didn't have any lofty ideals. All she wanted was to be content with her life.
"I once resented you, but I won't in the future. I've also figured it out. Some things are related to you, but also not entirely your fault. I've tried my best not to think about it anymore. Please don't bring up those things again. Let's just look forward."
Qin Chengyao closed her eyes, and a trace of sadness slipped past the corner of her eyes. "Okay."
The two chatted on the balcony for quite a while, and then Ji Siyue separated from him and returned to her own room.
Back in her room, Ji Siyue posted a photo and a short video on her main account without any explanation. Her fans would understand just by looking.
In the first photo, she looked so imposing, as if she was about to dominate the whole event. But the second short video of just a dozen seconds sparked a heated discussion among everyone.
[When did you become so naughty?]
The person who left this comment was none other than Qin Chengyao!
Not only that, but the other members of the team also left messages one after another.
[Let's have a fight tomorrow.] The one who said this must be Nangong Qi. He was the only one in the whole team who regarded Ji Siyue as a buddy.
[Haha.] Such a straight - forward comment must be from Zhu Zhiyao.
[So you've been trying to trick us all along! Actually, I noticed it a long time ago!]
[Me too!]
[+1]
[+2]
[+10089]
[+ ID number.]
These six comments were from the remaining six people.
Others:
[Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter. Nangong Qi's smile looks so stiff!]
[The atmosphere in this team is so great. The other three teams haven't posted on Weibo yet. It seems they are nervously preparing for the competition.]
[I feel like these big shots are just like they're about to go to bed... ]
Ji Siyue scrolled through the Weibo comments for a while, personally replied to a few fans, joked with them, and finally said good night before going to sleep.
When she woke up the next day, Ji Siyue felt that her head was a bit uncomfortable. She was groggy and felt like she wanted to fall back asleep.
She instinctively thought that she had caught a cold or had a fever, but she didn't want to worry the others. So she just put on makeup in her bedroom to make herself look more energetic.
When she went downstairs, the others were already eating.
They were all wearing white team uniforms. Looking at them like this, even the clumsy Ji Siyue felt a surge of enthusiasm in her heart.
Qin Chengyao waved at her. "Hurry up and come over to eat. The official has just informed us that there will be a pre - match interview about our daily lives. We need to go there an hour earlier."
The others seemed to be complaining, but they were silenced by a glare from Qin Chengyao.
When Ji Siyue got downstairs, Xingxing exclaimed in surprise. "Wow! You've put on makeup. I never thought I'd see you wearing makeup in my lifetime!"
Ji Siyue said, "Shut up and eat well. Can't I look beautiful when I'm on camera? I'm far - sighted."
Everyone else burst into laughter, but Qin Chengyao's eyes seemed a bit deeper.
The bus was already waiting outside the villa with the team's banner hanging on it.
She watched as everyone got on the bus one by one, and then Ji Siyue followed Qin Chengyao onto it.
Just before getting on the bus, Qin Chengyao grabbed her hand and seemed to slip something into it.
When she sat down in her seat and took a look, it was a small cold pill.
The tin foil of the cold pill had been cut off, leaving only a small piece. Ji Siyue gave a knowing smile, dug out the pill, picked up the mineral water beside her, and swallowed it.
Ji Siyue's body would feel sleepy after taking a cold pill, but she had slept okay last night. She hoped she could hold on until the end of the competition.
She hoped so...
However, things didn't go as she wished.
After just half an hour's journey, Ji Siyue already felt groggy when they arrived.
When it was time to get off the bus, Zhu Zhiyao passed by her and patted her on the shoulder. "Are you okay? You look a bit tired."
Ji Siyue shook her head. "I'm fine. I just took a nap on the way. I'm still a bit dazed. I'll be okay after getting off the bus and getting some fresh air. You guys go down first. I'll be the last one to check everyone's belongings."
The game reporters had been waiting outside for a long time. When they saw the bus with the team's banner coming, they all crowded outside the cordon, wishing they could shove the cameras into the players' faces.
Ji Siyue was the last one to get off the bus. She led the team members, bowed to the media one by one, and then walked towards the venue together.
As the saying goes, "Like enemies meeting on a narrow road." When they reached the entrance of the venue, they saw the Jingchen Team coming from another entrance.
What was even more coincidental was that the Jingchen Team's uniforms were all black this time, which was in stark contrast to their own.
As soon as the two teams locked eyes, sparks seemed to fly in the air.
Ji Siyue nodded slightly to the people over there and then was about to walk into the venue.
Unexpectedly, just as she took a few steps, she was blocked by a group of them.
"We don't get many chances to talk outside. There's no need to rush in so quickly, right?" The one who said this was Xiyou.
It was still outside the venue, and everyone could clearly see what was going on from afar. Seeing the two teams blocking the entrance of the stadium, neither of them willing to go in first, it seemed as if they were about to fight at any moment. Everyone couldn't help but feel excited.
Although they weren't really going to fight, it was still really exciting to watch them confront each other like this, wasn't it?
Ji Siyue sneered. "We'll have the time to talk tough during the pre - match interview later. Why are you in such a hurry now?"
Nangong Qi added from behind. "I'm afraid you've got a whole bunch of trash talk pent up and can't hold it in anymore!"
Everyone laughed mockingly.
The people from the Jingchen Team couldn't hold back either and wanted to rush over and use their fists to argue.
Finally, Tian Feng stepped forward and stretched out his arm to stop them.
