After training, Lu Yu felt like she was about to lose her electrolyte balance from sweating all day.

Jiao Yuyin watched Lu Yu walk in a semi-conscious state across the long street in front of the Qingbei training base.

This is what it means for someone to be ruined by overtraining.

Jiao Yuyin was still a little worried, so he stepped across the street and led her back to the car.

"Little Fish, you're already this tired on your first day back with the team."

Jiao Yuyin's teasing made Lu Yu feel slightly embarrassed.

Lu Yu ignored his teasing and said in a muffled voice, "Third Young Master, aren't you tired? Ever since Jiao Yushen arranged for people to keep an eye on Lixiang Villa, you've been coming to pick me up every day. After the incident at Shifu Mining, Jiao Yushen's people all left, so you don't need to come every day."

Jiao Yuyin paused as he checked his phone emails, and said, "This is normal; we have to get used to it."

"Instead of wasting your time on work, you could spend more time sleeping with me."

"Heh..." Jiao Yuyin was so angry at Lu Yu's words that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Even a heartless landlord wouldn't be as ruthless as you."

Before washing up in the evening, Lu Yu drank two cups of warm milk.

She had just lain down on the bed when she ran to the bathroom again, making two trips back and forth.

The bathroom door was tightly closed.

Jiao Yuyin finished reviewing the two electronic documents, but the bathroom door still remained closed.

Is it an eating disorder? I hope he didn't vomit again.

This was Jiao Yuyin's first reaction.

On the way, he noticed Lu Yu's nervousness and unusual behavior today, and now worry overwhelmed everything. He knocked on the bathroom door.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yu's voice was muffled, so Jiao Yuyin pressed his ear close to the bathroom door.

There seemed to be the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

He suddenly realized that he looked a bit like a voyeur, so he looked up and moved a little distance away from the bathroom.

Lu Yu caught him in this hesitant manner as he suddenly opened the door.

"I...I'm worried you're not feeling well..." Jiao Yuyin was extremely embarrassed.

Lu Yu felt a little embarrassed for some reason and said, "I just have some trouble sleeping. I'll take a hot shower and see if that helps."

Lu Yu went to the dressing table, picked up the hairdryer, and started drying her hair by herself.

Strands of hair fluttered in the breeze, and the aroma of raspberries filled the air.

Jiao Yuyin stood there, stunned.

Those restless strands of hair seemed to be knocking at his heart.

Jiao Yuyin looked away, returned to bed, and lay down facing the outside of the window.

A few minutes later, he felt the side of the bed dent.

"Xiaojia, turn off the bedroom light." After saying that, Jiao Yuyin suddenly didn't know what to do. He was afraid that if he turned around now, he wouldn't be able to control himself and would give himself away.

Jiao Yuyin stood stiffly and asked, "Did something happen to the team today?"

"Nothing special, except there's a pretty important training match tomorrow, which will basically determine the starting lineup. I... haven't practiced with the other starting players, and I haven't participated in any official training matches with the local team in a long time, so I'm a little nervous... I always tend to perform poorly in crucial matches, and I'm... worried about the outcome." Lu Yu's voice was soft and intermittent.

Before Jiao Yuyin could figure out how to comfort the girl whose mind was only on basketball, he was captivated by the increasingly strong smell of raspberries.

Lu Yu was very close to him, behind his back. Jiao Yuyin could clearly sense it.

Lu Yu's voice was as low as a kitten's: "I didn't mean to complain about you today. If you wanted to pick me up, I did, I have no objection. You...you can sleep next to me, my heartbeat is too noisy..."

Jiao Yuyin propped his head up and turned to look at Lu Yu. He hadn't expected Lu Yu to take his difficult restraint as a sign of throwing a tantrum. But he didn't know how to explain why he had suddenly turned his back and refused to hold her hand.

Jiao Yuyin could only take a deep breath, trying to calm the burning desire in his heart.

But with each breath, the scent of raspberries is as alluring as strands of hair that have just been lifted.

The fragrance penetrates the internal organs, gradually impairing one's mind.

Jiao Yuyin reached out and pulled Lu Yu into his arms. He couldn't resist running his fingertips through her soft, fragrant hair.

Her neck skin was delicate and soft to the touch, just as always.

Jiao Yuyin hadn't figured out how to explain his offense.

The person in his arms said softly, "Thank you, Xin Sheng is gone, I'm going to sleep."

In the darkness, Jiao Yuyin's lips curled into a wide, unrestrained smile of happiness.
