The bright moon hangs high in the night sky.
Lu Yu gently held Jiao Yuyin's hand, feeling the warmth of his palm.
"Have you asked about the closed training camp? Can I choose to commute?" Jiao Yuyin propped his head up with one hand, looking at Lu Yu's almond-shaped eyes reflecting the moonlight, his heart softening uncontrollably.
"I asked... I heard Coach Zeng is very difficult to talk to, I'm doomed." Lu Yu sighed deeply.
Jiao Yuyin secretly fiddled with Lu Yu's hair and whispered, "Cute."
Lu Yu plopped over, rolled over, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, there might be another way..."
"Oh?" Jiao Yuyin seemed to be enjoying this time, and was not in a hurry. He asked slowly, "What method? Tell me."
“Maybe… I can apply for a single room with the team, then you’ll have to travel back and forth between the training base and the company every day.” Lu Yu’s voice grew softer as she spoke.
I wonder if this pampered young master can adapt to living in the training base.
"Haha, I thought it was something serious. It doesn't matter where you live, it's all the same." Jiao Yuyin replied readily.
Lu Yu explained, "Don't rush to agree. The dorms at the training base are very small, basically just a bed, a table and chairs, and a simple cabinet. The private bathrooms in the rooms are pitifully small. Can you handle it?"
“Look, I live in the same place as everyone else, it’s nothing.” Jiao Yuyin put his arm around Lu Yu and carefully smelled the raspberry scent in her hair.
"Is staying a few days the same as staying for two months? You're always so easy to talk to. I'm just asking you for a suggestion, and you make it sound like I'm bullying you. You could at least let me beg you a little before you agree." Lu Yu muttered to herself, her voice very soft, but it tickled Jiao Yuyin's heart.
"Can't you be reasonable?" Jiao Yuyin was so amused by Lu Yu's words that he didn't know what to say. He could only go along with Lu Yu's words: "Then why don't you act cute and let your brother hear it?"
“Young man, you missed your chance! But—last time you went to your mother’s bedroom and played a video of her before she died, was she calling you, A-Yin—? Can I call you that, A-Yin?”
Lu Yu couldn't help but grab Jiao Yuyin's hair, seemingly as a subtle retaliation, but as her fingertips slipped into his hair, she could clearly feel the person in front of her catch their breath.
Before Lu Yu could even think, she was met with a fierce, raging kiss from the wind.
He gently stroked my earlobe.
Gentleness and rage appeared simultaneously.
Before all thoughts could leave her mind, Lu Yu suddenly remembered a problem she had overlooked.
"Hmm..." Lu Yu groaned, "Wait, wait a minute."
"Don't get distracted."
Jiao Yuyin's words lingered in her ears, and she was trapped in the space beneath him, unable to move.
"Ouch—" Jiao Yuyin winced in pain and pulled away from her lips. "Bite me again? Little Fish, what's going on? Was it on purpose or by accident?"
"Pfft—" Lu Yu laughed out loud, his breath landing directly on Jiao Yuyin's face. "How come you said the same thing as that miserable judge who ate the Nine-Turned Intestines?"
Jiao Yuyin wiped his lips and then lowered his head to peck Lu Yu with a bite.
Lu Yu grabbed Jiao Yuyin's swollen arm and said seriously, "I'm not kidding you. I'm serious. Last time at the old house, I heard Jiao Yuchen's inner thoughts. He's very worried about you. He's still quite wary. I'm worried that if you stay at the training base with me, we won't be able to go to the old house, and I won't be able to hear his inner thoughts. Isn't that risky?"
“Little Fish, you don’t trust your husband that much?” Jiao Yuyin said in a breathy voice. “It’s a good opportunity to divert Jiao Yuchen’s attention. I think it’s a good idea.”
"Oh—" Lu Yu replied, only half understanding. "Hmm—"
Before she could offer any constructive advice on how to defeat Jiao Yuchen, all her words were once again silenced by the person in front of her.
"I'm not going to let this go so easily. No more weird questions this time. Do you hear me, little fish?"
...
"Call me A-Yin one more time."
...
"Little fish, be good."
...
"How did you call me A-Yin just now? How do you call me now?"
...
The warm breeze of early summer is invigorating.
Lu Yu stood in front of the national training base, twisted her slightly crooked bun with one hand, and said goodbye to Jiao Yuyin in the car.
"I'll apply for commuting first to try it out. The specific arrangements will depend on the team. Wait for my call."
"Okay, I understand. Go in quickly," Jiao Yuyin urged.
Lu Yu turned and stepped into the national team training base.
Four years have passed, but it feels like a lifetime has gone by.
