Faced with Lu Sicheng’s sudden confession, Tong Yao was momentarily stunned. Perhaps feeling a lack of confidence, she deliberately raised her voice, retorted a few times, and then got up to leave. However, before she reached the door, Lu Sicheng called her back. The two sat down and began a proper discussion. Tong Yao accused Lu Sicheng of being too harsh in tone, and Lu Sicheng, softening up, started speaking more gently.

However, after just a few sentences, Lu Sicheng’s tone shifted again due to Tong Yao’s attitude, only to quickly adjust once more under her criticism. Despite Lu Sicheng’s repeated questions, Tong Yao still did not give him a clear answer in the end. Later, the two arrived at the interview site. When Tong Yao praised the Korean player, a jealous Lu Sicheng immediately voiced the opposite opinion.

Throughout the interview, they consistently held their own views, subtly competing against each other. Finally, when the host brought up the topic of relationships, Lu Sicheng took the opportunity to openly question Tong Yao. Feeling awkward, she gave a vague answer, sparking murmurs among the audience. After the interview, while using the restroom, Tong Yao overheard people outside discussing her. Scared, she waited until they left before coming out.

On the way back, she recalled all her moments with Lu Sicheng—perhaps she herself hadn’t fully understood her feelings for him yet. Back at the base, Tong Yao stared blankly at Lu Sicheng’s seat. Hearing the sound of his car, she hurried downstairs. After a moment of eye contact, perhaps out of true feelings or perhaps just for the cat, Tong Yao agreed to Lu Sicheng’s request, and the two embraced tightly.

Facing Lu Sicheng’s teasing, the embarrassed Tong Yao shyly buried herself in his arms. That night passed without further incident. The next day, Tong Yao called her best friend, Chen Jinyang, to tell her the news. Always on top of the latest gossip, Chen Jinyang immediately rushed to the ZGDX base. The two then hid in a room to chat privately. When Tong Yao came downstairs, she saw Lu Sicheng on the phone and stepped forward to ask about it.

From him, she learned that the club was rectifying issues regarding players’ conduct. Later, Tong Yao reported Lu Sicheng to Xiao Rui as payback. Seizing the opportunity, Lu Sicheng interlocked fingers with her. The shy Tong Yao tried to break free but couldn’t, while Xiao Rui, completely focused on the cat, didn’t notice their intimate gesture. After struggling for a while, Tong Yao finally managed to escape, only to receive a teasing message from Lu Sicheng shortly after.

Back in her room, Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng chatted enthusiastically over text. However, when she put down her phone, she realized the incident had also affected her best friend. She immediately sent her some comforting words. While browsing online comments, Tong Yao started to worry about herself as well. Meanwhile, Ai Jia began a livestream to address the situation in response to online criticism. Shortly after, Chen Jinyang boldly appeared on camera, confidently flaunting their relationship.

At the ZGDX base, Lu Sicheng and Tong Yao continued texting. Noticing that she was still awake, Lu Sicheng smirked mischievously and ran upstairs. Taking advantage of the moment Tong Yao opened the door, he slipped into her room. Dropping his usual aloof demeanor, he eagerly hugged her. Listening to Tong Yao’s concerns, Lu Sicheng gave her his promise. He then embraced her from the front, leaned down, and gave her a quick kiss before teasing her again.

Embarrassed and flustered, Tong Yao angrily kicked him out of her room. The next day, Tong Yao went to watch Ai Jia’s match. Recognized by fans, she enthusiastically interacted with them. Soon, Chen Jinyang also joined her. Meanwhile, at the entrance, Lu Sicheng quietly observed the scene. For once, his usually cold gaze held a trace of warmth. As the two continued chatting over their phones, Lu Sicheng was soon spotted by fans. The audience erupted in excitement. Realizing he shouldn’t stay too long, Lu Sicheng gave Tong Yao a few instructions before leaving.
