Two male waiters stood by the door, like door gods, to serve customers going to the restroom.

"Smile." One of them winked at the other, then grinned, making himself look even uglier.

The other waiter, who had a cold expression, had no choice but to grin awkwardly. Fortunately, they were just by the door and didn't attract attention, so no one noticed them.

Ye Tong dealt with another chess player, and his stomach was so bloated that he couldn't stand it anymore. But he didn't dare go to the toilet alone. He wasn't familiar with the area and knew he wouldn't be able to find a toilet. In addition to social anxiety, Ye Tong also had a severe case of being directionally challenged.

He can only relax and find his way in familiar environments; he will definitely get lost in unfamiliar ones.

"Senior brother, I need to go to the toilet."

Ye Tong gently tugged at Si Haoxing, who was chatting enthusiastically with someone. Her voice was very soft and completely drowned out by the noise and clinking of glasses. Si Haoxing felt his clothes being tugged. He looked down and said impatiently, "I'm talking to someone. I'll talk to you later."

That idiot has no sense at all; didn't he see he was busy?

Sihaoxing was talking to a 7-dan Go player from the country, who was about the same age as him. They had played against each other several times before, and Sihaoxing had lost to him every time. Therefore, the 7-dan Go player was very respectful to him, and Sihaoxing particularly enjoyed the feeling of being flattered.

Because he hadn't heard any compliments in a long time, he really missed the feeling of being the best of the best, when everyone treated him with respect, the coach fawned over him, and his teammates treated him with deference. How wonderful that was!

Ye Tong sensed Si Haoxing's impatience and dared not mention going to the toilet again. He sat quietly, but soon he couldn't hold it in any longer. He looked around and saw that his teammates were talking to others, so he didn't dare to disturb them. He could only stand up and walk towards the door.

If this isn't resolved soon, he'll wet his pants, and Ye Tong doesn't want to lose face.

Two burly male waiters at the door saw Ye Tong approaching, looking extremely uneasy like a frightened bird. They nodded to him, "This is the boy. We've finally waited for him to come and pee."

"Do you need any help?" a male waiter asked, trying to keep his voice as soft as possible.

Ye Tong breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, someone noticed him. Although he was afraid of strangers, he needed to pee right now, so he mustered up his courage and said he needed to use the restroom.

"I'll take you there, please follow me." The male waiter's eyes lit up with joy as he opened the door and let Ye Tong follow behind. Another waiter went to a corner and took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket.

"The small fish has taken the bait; it will come back in ten minutes."

After putting away his walkie-talkie, the male waiter went to the restroom, no longer paying attention to the banquet. Meanwhile, Sihaoxing, who was still talking loudly with someone, seemed not to have noticed Ye Tong's disappearance. However, he pretended to glance back unintentionally, a smug smile flashing across his lips.

He continued chatting enthusiastically with others, completely unaware that the seat next to him was empty.

Ye Mingcheng and Tian Tian waited outside. Ye Mingcheng was reading a medical book and sat very calmly, not in a hurry at all. Tian Tian, ​​however, couldn't sit still. She would get up and walk around from time to time, feeling extremely bored. Several times she would run to the closed door of the banquet hall and peek through the crack in the door to see if the event had ended.

"Don't worry, it's only halfway done, there's still at least an hour left," Ye Mingcheng reassured him.

Sweetie said worriedly, "I don't know how Xiaotong is doing."

"With Xiao Si looking after you, everything should be fine. Are you hungry?" Although Ye Mingcheng was also worried, he felt that Si Haoxing should be able to take good care of Xiao Tong.

Sweetie shook her head, clutched her stomach, and said, "I'm going to the toilet."
