Chapter 37. Coffee?



She took two steps forward, passed Pei Yan, and handed a booklet to the LC assistant. She patted the man's shoulder solemnly and said, "Take care."

The LC assistants were all confused by Qiao Ran's actions. Looking at Qiao Ran's expression, it was as if he could be buried tomorrow and his teammates could have a feast together.

Besides, what did this little girl give me?

He lowered his head and saw that the booklet clearly printed with "XX Community HIV Prevention Handbook".

The curious teammates also came over. After reading the words on the booklet, they wanted to laugh but had to hold it back.

"Let's go. Let's finish the filming early and go back to training." Qiao Ran walked back to Pei Yan.

Pei Yan didn't expect Qiao Ran to do this suddenly. This is not social phobia at all, it's simply social awesomeness!

So...Qiao Ran's social phobia is divided into different types?

Qiao Ran, the support player on the opposing team, wasn't disgusted, but he was furious. It was like swallowing a dead fly, unable to swallow it, and unable to vomit it out.

"Okay, let's go." Pei Yan glanced at the people from LC, disdain written all over his eyes.

This autumn season, it’s time to make these trash pay the price.

When the person in charge saw that the two sides that were on the verge of a fight did not come to a fight and the situation ended peacefully, he finally let go of his worries and breathed a sigh of relief.

After saying hello to a few people from LC, I followed Pei Yan and the others with lingering fear.

"Miss Qiao has a good foundation. She doesn't need to put on much makeup. She can look just as good on camera." The person in charge said flatteringly.

Jiang Wenzhou and Pei Yan were too lazy to pay attention to him. They found a place in the studio where they could not get in the way and waited for the temporary makeup artist contacted by Jiang Wenzhou to do Qiao Ran's makeup.

After putting on her makeup, Qiao Ran walked into the fitting room holding the unopened team uniform.

Qiao Ran changed into his team uniform in the fitting room and looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, feeling mixed emotions.

She has put in so much effort to get to where she is today.

And in the future, perhaps even more difficult things will be waiting for her.

She grabbed the corner of her team uniform and tightened her grip secretly.

She told herself that once she put on this team uniform, her every word and action would represent the team.

She will fight to the end for the glory of NSD!

Qiao Ran rearranged her ponytail, patted her face which was slightly hot from nervousness and excitement, and walked out of the fitting room.

In front of the camera, Qiao Ran accepted the photographer's instructions with stiff movements.

She didn't understand why taking a photo could cause such trouble. She now felt like her hands and feet were not her own.

"Xiao Qiao's waist and legs are amazing. When she becomes popular in the future, she will definitely become another main force to drive the team's peripherals after you." Jiang Wenzhou came back from outside with coffee. Seeing Qiao Ran who had not finished filming yet, he took a cup and handed it to Pei Yan.

"Are you obsessed with money?" Pei Yan, who had been staring at Qiao Ran, retracted his gaze and took a sip of coffee. "She's a professional team member, not an internet celebrity trying to sell you products."

"I just said it, nothing has happened yet, is it necessary for you to protect me like this..." Jiang Wenzhou took advantage of the fact that there were only two of them at the moment and couldn't help but probe Pei Yan's attitude.

"Tell me the truth, what do you think of this girl?"

Pei Yan was puzzled: "How do you see it? Use your eyes."

Jiang Wenzhou simply asked more clearly: "It's not the first day I've known you. Don't you think that the degree of your concern for this little girl has exceeded the threshold you used to treat your teammates?"

"She's a girl, alone out there, and it's easy for her to suffer. You grown men are still arguing with a little girl about this?"

"Is it really just like that?" Jiang Wenzhou's tone was filled with disbelief.

"What else can we do?" Pei Yan's gaze fell back on Qiao Ran, who was not far away. "Do you think what LC said just now wasn't harsh enough? Do you want to make up a story and spread it widely?"

"How can I be the same as those rubbish? You're insulting my dignity!" Jiang Wenzhou gave up. "Forget it... Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about something else."

"You can't keep your mouth shut?"

Jiang Wenzhou automatically ignored Pei Yan's complaint: "Don't you think Qiao Ran is a little weird?"

"I think you're acting strangely today." Pei Yan couldn't guess what Jiang Wenzhou was going to say.

"I'm serious," Jiang Wenzhou said, frowning slightly. "Don't you think... she doesn't have any girlish vibes at all? Of course, I'm not talking about her appearance. I'm talking about her behavior, lifestyle, and other things. I don't believe you haven't noticed."

Of course Pei Yan discovered it, and he discovered it earlier than Jiang Wenzhou.

"So? You're going to interfere with my personal habits?"

"Tsk... why are you always picking on me today..." Jiang Wenzhou said dissatisfiedly, "Excuse me, but her personality doesn't seem to be innate, it must be acquired... You discovered and recruited her, how much do you know about her personal situation?"

"I know nothing." Pei Yan remained concise.

"That's right... you added the wrong person, and it was a lucky coincidence..."

When his dark history was mentioned, Pei Yan's hand holding the coffee trembled.

"No... We didn't know anything, but you still dared to ask us to sign?"

"Hasn't she participated in youth training before? You should have reviewed her personal information."

After Pei Yan said this, Jiang Wenzhou actually remembered some things.

He looked at Pei Yan hesitantly, as if hesitating whether to speak, after all, it might involve Qiao Ran's privacy.

"Just say what you want to say. Don't look at me with such a constipated look."

"If I remember correctly, in Qiao Ran's youth training profile, the fields for her parents' names and occupations are blank, and the emergency contact seems to be her friend."

Pei Yan frowned, suddenly remembering the old residential area he saw when he and Qiao Ran went to get their luggage last time, and how Qiao Ran didn't want him to follow.

"What do you think... should we investigate privately? Just in case..." Jiang Wenzhou suggested out of consideration for the team.

After all, when you start working in a company, the HR department will do a background check on you. This is not considered an invasion of privacy, and they won’t tell anyone.

Pei Yan crushed the empty coffee cup and threw it into the trash can. "Let's not use it for now. The autumn season is coming soon, let's not make things complicated."

Pei Yan said this to Jiang Wenzhou, but in fact he didn't want Jiang Wenzhou to disturb Qiao Ran.

Pei Yan could see that Qiao Ran didn't want others to know about her affairs, at least not yet.

Pei Yan and Jiang Wenzhou's conversation ended here. Qiao Ran also finished filming and walked towards them.

"Um...can I wear this team uniform back?" Qiao Ran tugged at the hem of his clothes, feeling very happy.

"This is originally your team uniform. No one else can wear it." Jiang Wenzhou smiled and shared the remaining cup of coffee with Qiao Ran. "You must be tired from filming. Have a drink. We will go to see the sample later. If there is no problem, we can go back."

Qiao Ran actually doesn’t like coffee very much. She can’t stand the bitter taste of coffee. Even if it is a sweet caramel macchiato or cappuccino, the first thing she feels in her mouth is bitterness.

But Jiang Wenzhou bought it with good intentions, and Qiao Ran felt it would be bad to refuse.

After taking just one sip, Qiao Ran's brows furrowed into a knot. It took her a lot of effort to swallow it. The bitter feeling in her throat made her feel that drinking medicine was just like that.

There was no way Qiao Ran would just drink a sip of this cup and throw it away. She had planned to hold her breath, grit her teeth and drink the coffee.

As a result, before she could take the second sip, a hand reached out and took away her paper cup.

"Captain?" Qiao Ran was a little surprised.

"Don't drink if you're not thirsty."

This coffee is from a certain brand and it’s not cheap per cup.

Although it tastes bad, I only drink one sip and then throw it away...

Qiao Ran, who has always valued money, felt his heart bleeding.

She reached out hesitantly, trying to take the coffee back from Pei Yan.

Pei Yan saw through Qiao Ran's intention at a glance, turned his body slightly to block Qiao Ran's hand, and drank the coffee cleanly with his head tilted back.

"Now we don't have to worry about wasting it?"

At this moment, Qiao Ran no longer had the mind to care about whether it was a waste or not. His head felt like it had been bombarded and exploded into pieces.

What was Pei Yan doing just now?

She just drank this cup of coffee!

Pei Yan doesn't mind at all?

Does this count as...

I can’t think about it anymore, I can’t think about it anymore!

The author has something to say:

The scumbag author only wants to write a sweet love story. As for the competition, it is definitely impossible to copy the lineup and some details of the real game, so there will definitely be exaggerations, or even some places that are inconsistent with reality. Some rules may even be adjusted to suit the plot. A lot of content is also adapted by the scumbag author based on what he encountered in the game. I hope everyone will not be too picky. The scumbag author's poor writing style cannot withstand scrutiny 23333333333333333
