Chapter 68 Lu Chi and Ye Qiao seem to be at odds
The next morning, Qiao Ye washed up early. According to the schedule, she and Lu Chi should be the first to play today.
Qiao Ye opened the dormitory door and didn't see Lu Chi. Thinking that Lu Chi seemed a little slow today, she went to the fifth floor and knocked on Lu Chi's dormitory door. Later, she found out that Lu Chi had not returned last night.
Qiao Ye felt a little worried, so she sent a message to Lu Chi: "Where have you been?"
Lu Chi did not reply.
Qiao Ye continued to send messages, "Can you make it to the game this morning?"
Lu Chi quickly replied: "We can make it."
Qiao Ye felt relieved, but felt that Lu Chi's blunt reply was a little strange.
Hasn't he gotten over his little temper yesterday?
Qiao Bang and Xie Chen met Qiao Ye, and Qiao Bang smiled and shared with Qiao Ye about yesterday's game. Qiao Bang and Xie Chen successfully advanced and will continue the game this afternoon.
Xie Chen: "Ye Zi, are you okay?"
Qiao Ye: "Ah?"
Xie Chen was always very sensitive to emotions: "I sense you're not in a good mood."
Qiao Ye shook his head. "No, no, I just don't know why, but I feel a little uncomfortable without Lu Chi around."
Qiao Bang: "Oh, right, where are the people from Luchi?"
Qiao Ye: "He said he would be here soon."
After saying this, Qiao Ye also thought about it. In the past, when this happened, Lu Chi would often explain where he went last night so that everyone would not worry.
But this time, he didn't explain, and there seemed to be a sense of unfamiliarity.
Qiao Ye couldn't help but wonder, was it because Lu Chi was in a bad mood yesterday and she didn't comfort him in time, and then went to play with Ying Qiao and the others in the afternoon, so he was unhappy?
How about she buy Lu Chi a cup of milk tea after the competition?
Qiao Ye changed into her combat uniform and waited on the side while students passing by pointed and talked about her.
"Do you think Ye Qiao used stimulants?"
"Who knows. How could an ordinary person be so powerful?"
"That's right. I watched the video of her last match, and every move was perfect. How is that possible?"
Qiao Ye turned a deaf ear to this and continued warming up on the spot.
There were a few more people in the elderly group in the audience.
Qiao Yuanyu, Lu Gang, and Lu Anguo all came to watch the game.
Yi Yuanhua said, "Wow, what a rare group of guests! They've all come."
Lu Gang laughed twice: "Old Yi, why are you here?"
Yi Yuanhua: "Don't think I'm here to see your son. I'm here to see Teacher Ye."
Lu Gang took a moment to react, then asked, "Are you talking about George?"
Yi Yuanhua: "Yes, she is the teacher who taught us Ba Duan Jin."
Lu Gang smiled and said, "This kid is really good."
Yi Yuanhua: "Teacher Ye Xiao and your grandson are partners, but you must not add the wrong oil, you also have to cheer for Teacher Ye Xiao!"
A few generals were chatting casually, and the students next to them sneered when they heard it.
"Teacher Ye is just someone who used stimulants."
"that is."
Qiao Yuanyu remained calm and asked Fei Ziming beside him, "What happened?"
Fei Ziming briefly explained what happened yesterday.
Yi Yuanhua started to rant, "Blood and urine tests have already proven Teacher Ye's innocence. What's wrong with you kids? You're holding her back, aren't you?"
The student shouted, "That's better than the school protecting Ye Qiao. Because of Ye Qiao, more than a dozen students have been punished!"
Yi Yuanhua: "In the eyes of you young people, malicious speculation is enough to frame a good person? Where is the evidence? Show me the evidence! It's inexplicable that you reported someone by name without any evidence, maliciously accusing him. If this situation doesn't deserve a punishment, then when will it be punished?"
The commentator still started the show in high spirits.
"Yesterday's mecha battle was thrilling and exciting, and today we begin the Top 13 Tournament. I know you've all been looking forward to it! Let's enthusiastically welcome the first match!
The first match was between first-year team leader Lu Chi and his partner Ye Qiao, versus fourth-year team member Hang Jiamao and his partner Tian Xuan!
There was enthusiastic cheering on the field.
The elderly group waved their colored sticks: "Lu Chi, Lu Chi, Lu Chi, Ye Qiao, Ye Qiao, Ye Qiao!!"
Qiao Ye waited alone for a long time but Lu Chi didn't show up, so she had to go on stage alone.
The classmates watched as Qiao Ye was the only one on the stage, and the entire arena was in an uproar.
"Why didn't Lu Chi come?"
"Isn't Lu Chi embarrassed to be on the same stage with someone who uses stimulants?"
"No way, this can't be true."
"Ye Qiao looks clean, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person!"
Qiao Yuanyu, sitting in the stands, looked calm, but in reality, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging slightly. He lowered his head and asked Lu Anguo, "Why didn't Lu Chi come?"
Lu Anguo sighed. Lu Chi was in a bad mood last night. It cannot be ruled out that he did not appear because of his bad mood, but Lu Anguo could not reply to Qiao Yuanyu like this.
He said, "Lu Chi will definitely be here."
The commentator asked Qiao Ye, "Student Ye Qiao, your partner Lu Chi hasn't arrived yet. Do you want to continue waiting for him?"
Qiao Ye said, "Lu Chi will be here."
Narrator: "We have a limited time to wait for him. What if he doesn't arrive yet?"
Qiao Ye replied: "He will be there."
Commentator: "Time is almost up, let's start the countdown, 3..."
Lu Chi came over from behind.
When Qiao Ye saw Lu Chi coming over, he felt a little angry for some reason and turned away without looking at him.
Lu Chi: "Sorry, I'm late."
Qiao Ye did not respond.
The hatch of the mecha opened, and Lu Chi got on from the side. He looked back and was hesitating whether to pull Qiao Ye, but found that Qiao Ye had already got on the mecha by himself.
The two of them did not have any physical contact throughout the process and just sat in their own mecha operating positions.
The military academy students who watched this scene made some guesses.
"Did Lu Chi and Ye Qiao have a fight?"
"Looking at their expressions, they seem to be at odds."
"They always hold hands on the mecha, but not this time."
"If you ask me, that's how it should be. Ye Qiao is just an ordinary person and is not worthy of Chief Lu at all."
Inside the mecha cabin, Qiao Ye quickly confirmed the status of the mecha. Based on yesterday's experience and lessons, Qiao Ye informed Lu Chi every time he confirmed a component.
"Mecha legs, confirmed."
Lu Chi drove the mecha and took a step forward to deal with the opponent.
"Arms, confirmed."
Lu Chi waved his arms and drew out his machete.
"Everything is going well with the mecha." Qiao Ye showed off his impressive skills once again, leaving all the teachers and students in the school stunned.
Then, she began to casually cooperate with Lu Chi to rotate the mecha parts and make fine adjustments.
One student asked, "Can this level of proficiency be achieved through stimulants?"
"I don't know, but she is just an ordinary person. How could an ordinary person do this?"
An ordinary person asked, "Why can't ordinary people do this? Do you know the saying 'practice makes perfect'?"
