Zhao Jie was also frightened by Qiao Ran's extreme reaction. He touched his face and looked at Sun Kai beside him: "Although I am fat, I am still cute after all... Not scary..."
"Sorry... I just woke up and I'm still a little confused..." Qiao Ran felt that the excuse he came up with was extremely poor.
"Then you must not have eaten yet. We just happened to order takeout, let's eat together."
Qiao Ran looked behind them and didn't see Pei Yan. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Just the two of you? Where are the others?"
Zhao Jie, who had just gotten some firsthand gossip from Ye Xiaofan yesterday, looked at Qiao Ran with a smile: "The captain should be in the gym at this time and should be out soon."
Qiao Ran wondered if she wasn't asking about someone else. Why did Zhao Jie mention Pei Yan directly?
Did Zhao Jie know something?
Feeling guilty, Qiao Ran said nothing more and went downstairs with his head down.
Zhao Jie and Sun Kai exchanged glances behind Qiao Ran.
It seems that what Ye Xiaofan said is true. The new assistant really cares about their captain!
Jiang Wenzhou, who had missed last night, came back from outside and saw Qiao Ran sitting at the dining table. He was obviously a little surprised: "You're here so early."
Zhao Jie originally wanted to joke that this was not early at all, as they had already arrived last night.
As a result, he was discovered by Sun Kai, who grabbed him first, shook his head at him, and signaled him not to talk nonsense.
Zhao Jie realized that Qiao Ran was a girl, different from the big and strong men they had been with before. She was thin-skinned and it was not appropriate to joke with her like that, so he shut up obediently.
"What about the room? Have you checked it out? Is there anything that needs adjusting or adding to? I'll ask Auntie to get it for you later."
"No, no, it's already good enough." Qiao Ran stood up. People with social anxiety were a little uncomfortable with such politeness.
"Okay, then you guys have lunch first. I have something else to take care of." Jiang Wenzhou said as he walked upstairs. After a few steps, he stopped and turned to look at Qiao Ran. "I almost forgot, the official team announcement may not be that fast for you. You may have to wait a while for the team uniform. I'll ask someone to measure your size later."
"Yeah, it's okay. I'm not in a hurry."
"Oh! By the way, I heard that you were also a live streamer before. Which platform were you on?"
"Cat's Paw." Qiao Ran thought about it and mentioned the suspension of the show. "But it was suspended two days ago due to some negative comments."
"Isn't it because of the injured hand?" Zhao Jie remembered that Ye Xiaofan was angry because of this.
"That... was to appease the fans... The reality is that some of my comments during the live broadcast were suspected of being misleading..."
Sun Kai, Zhao Jie and others watched the live broadcast with Ye Xiaofan, so they knew very well what Qiao Ran said that was trying to stir up trouble.
"Don't worry about this. I'll take care of it." This little thing wasn't a big deal to Jiang Wenzhou. "I'll also renegotiate your contract with Cat's Claw. From now on, your live broadcast duration and any other matters that require attention will be in accordance with the requirements of the new contract."
Qiao Ran didn't know what to say, so he could only nod: "Thank you, manager."
Jiang Wenzhou smiled and said, "Don't be polite. We are all family from now on."
"You're quite good at getting close."
Pei Yan's voice came from the stairs, and Qiao Ran's heart began to beat faster.
Pei Yan must have just taken a shower after working out. His short black hair hadn't dried completely yet, and there was still some moisture on the ends of his hair. There were also some smudged water stains on the collar of his T-shirt. He looked a little more lifelike and less fierce than he did on the screen.
Pei Yan's gaze fell on Qiao Ran. "Since you've signed the contract, even if you haven't moved into the base yet, you're already an official NSD member. To keep the team members in peak condition, the team doesn't allow anyone to drink excessively. I hope you'll remember and abide by this. I've given you this opportunity. If you don't know how to cherish it, you'd better stop now and let's not waste each other's time."
Sure enough, every word Pei Yan uttered was filled with ice, just like his name, strict to the extreme, and any sense of life was a deceptive illusion.
Qiao Ran also knew that he was indeed wrong this time. He was supposed to report to the team the next day, but he was still drunk.
Pei Yan didn't bother with her crazy words. He just gave her a few words of advice, which was already a great favor to her.
"Got it, Captain." Qiao Ran lowered his head. His face burned intensely after being lectured in public. "There won't be a next time. If I do it again, I'll leave on my own without you asking."
Qiao Ran didn't say this out of anger; on the contrary, her attitude was very sincere.
Sun Kai saw that the atmosphere was a bit serious, and the pretty little girl's eyes turned red.
He pushed his glasses and pulled Zhao Jie out to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright. The little girl was probably happy yesterday. This won't happen again. This won't happen again."
"Yeah, yeah, the takeout is coming. I'll go get it. Let's eat. After we finish eating, we'll go to training."
Pei Yan withdrew his gaze and said nothing more. He turned around and poured a cup of warm water, added a spoonful of honey, stirred it twice, and placed it in front of Qiao Ran.
"Drink it. Don't let it affect your training."
Qiao Ran didn't dare to say anything at this moment. Naturally, he did whatever Pei Yan said. He held the cup and drank it all in one gulp without saying a word.
If someone who didn't know saw this, they would think Pei Yan was giving a cup of poison.
Zhao Jie, who was originally going to get takeout, stopped when he saw this scene. He grinned on his chubby face and teased Pei Yan in a mean voice with his throat pinched.
"Captain~ I want to drink too~"
Sun Kai couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he took off his glasses and covered his eyes: "Damn it, please be kind, I can't eat anymore."
"What's wrong with me? Captain, you have to be fair, right?"
Zhao Jie continued to joke relentlessly.
Qiao Ran lowered his head, his ears turning red. He really wanted to be an ostrich with his head buried in the ground.
"Aren't you hungry? Stop talking nonsense here." Pei Yan went to get the tablet on the sofa. When he passed Zhao Jie, he couldn't help but kick him in the knee. "If you're not hungry, don't eat. Get back to training!"
Zhao Jie let out an "Ah~" and limped out exaggeratedly, muttering as he walked, "Captain, you're so inhumane. A higher-ranking official can crush someone to death. I'm having such a hard time~"
Sun Kai seemed to notice Qiao Ran's reservedness and said with a smile, "Zhao Jie is like this every day, he likes to joke around, you just have to get used to it."
Qiao Ran scratched the empty glass twice and whispered, "I don't mind. It's fine."
Qiao Ran had seen their interviews before, and they were all quite serious in front of the camera. He had assumed it was the result of being assimilated by Pei Yan after spending so long with him, but he hadn't expected this to be the case in private.
Even Pei Yan...
Qiao Ran's eyes fell on the glass.
Even Pei Yan didn't seem to be so cold...
After a while, Zhao Jie came back with a big bag of takeout and placed them on the dining table one by one.
"Xiao Fan hasn't woken up yet? Did I stay up too late chatting with him about gossip yesterday?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "thump thump" sound of jogging coming from the stairs.
"No, no! I'm up!"
Ye Xiaofan appeared in everyone's sight, wearing slippers and stroking his messy hair that he had not had time to tidy up.
"Captain...Captain...I..." After Ye Xiaofan appeared, the first thing he did was to admit his mistake to Pei Yan.
Qiao Ran secretly glanced at the two of them, wondering if Pei Yan was so perverted towards his teammates? He scared the child like this...
Since she drank so much yesterday, was she only given a few words of reprimand? Was that considered light punishment?
"Sit down."
Ye Xiaofan didn't expect that he would pass the test so easily today. If it were any other time, he would have been scolded.
Today, is it because he opened it in the wrong way?
Ye Xiaofan scratched his head in confusion and sat down, only to find that Qiao Ran was sitting next to him.
I woke up suddenly, then realized how unkempt I was. I screamed "Ah!" and ran to the bathroom.
The author has something to say:
Qiao Ran: Oh... I got criticized...
Pei Yan: I didn't say anything too harsh...
Zhao Jie: Ha! Well-known double standards!
