Chapter 244: Chapter 244: All Alone (Second Update)

"Ah!" Li Wei, after being thrown several times, felt even more despondent. He looked at Mo Siyu miserably and said, "Brother Mo, you can’t just toy with people like this."

With each throw, Mo Siyu would whisper something in Tang Jun’s ear.

And then, Tang Jun would win each throw.

Just like that, he won three times in a row.

Tang Jun screamed with excitement, unbelievably eager to continue with Li Wei, but Mo Siyu said, "Xiao Jun, you three should go to bed early. If you want to train, join everyone tomorrow. Just don’t cry about not being able to take it."

"Brother Mo, I won’t," Tang Jun said, energized as if infused with adrenaline, "I definitely won’t cry, and I won’t say I can’t take it."

"Me neither," both Zhang Qiang and Wei Jiajie, who had been thrown miserably just now, were not discouraged by the throws. Instead, their spirit and determination were even more stimulated.

The three of them returned to their dorm excitedly. Tang Jun was excitedly telling Zhang Qiang and Wei Jiajie about his techniques. The dorm was intermittently filled with their excited voices.

"Da Wei, you see..." Zhao Xiangqian was laughing so hard, leaning forward and backward, that the US$ 100 he just lost didn’t seem painful at all.

"It’s impossible." Li Wei felt as if he’d seen a ghost. He had thought through a counter to the technique Tang Jun used, but somehow Tang Jun changed tactics, and Li Wei was thrown again.

Just like that, Li Wei was thrown three times in a row!

Yan Dong squinted his eyes. Although he wasn’t as exaggerated as Zhao Xiangqian, the slight curl of his lips showed that he was secretly amused.

"Brother Mo, it’s impossible. How could he win every time?" Li Wei was utterly confused and felt there was something eerie about the situation.

Mo Siyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Have another go, and he’ll lose."

"How so?" Li Wei, after hearing Mo Siyu’s words, gave it a serious thought. It seemed that Mo Siyu had taught him something after each fall.

Li Wei, who had lost several times, couldn’t believe it and didn’t think any deeper. Now, reflecting on it, when Tang Jun ran out of moves, that would be his time to dominate Tang Jun.

But at this moment, Mo Siyu sent the three of them off to sleep.

Thus, Li Wei, who lost until he questioned his life, hadn’t even considered this possibility.

"Brother Mo, my reputation..." Li Wei was on the verge of tears.

With Zhao Xiangqian there, this story would certainly spread. By then, his reputation in the team would be completely ruined.

"Da Wei, didn’t you say you’ve been bored lately? Tomorrow, there will definitely be a lot of people who want to challenge you," Mo Siyu said, patting Li Wei’s shoulder.

Li Wei: ...

Boss, what have I done to make you bear a grudge against me.

The morning whistle woke Tang Yue from her sleep.

Listening to the whistle sound, Tang Yue was a bit dazed. She looked at the unfamiliar setting in the room and the thin blanket covering her, then finally sat up, realizing that this is Mo Siyu’s room, and she was sleeping in Mo Siyu’s bed.

Tang Yue rubbed her messy hair, hugged the thin blanket, and sat there in a daze for quite a while.

The gentle sunlight outside the window spilled onto the balcony. A breeze swept by, causing Mo Siyu’s white shirt on the balcony to flutter. She got up, quickly freshened up, and then started to wash the clothes she had changed out of yesterday. When she hung her clothes next to the white shirt, a touched and indescribable feeling emerged in the bottom of Tang Yue’s heart.

Once unattainable, even a few extra words felt like a luxury. Now, she slept in his room, her clothes hanging right beside his, as if others were standing right by his side too.

Tang Yue lifted her lips, with the white and orange-red dress set off against her, looking comfortable no matter how you looked at it.

’Knock knock knock’

The knocking sound came, and Tang Yue opened the door with confusion.

Outside the door, Jiang Beini and another woman of a similar age stood there.

Jiang Beini wore a fake smile and said, "Miss Tang, since it’s your first time at the motorcade, Xiuxiu and I thought we’d ask if you want to join us for breakfast at the cafeteria?"

As Jiang Beini spoke, her gaze kept wandering into the room.

Tang Yue simply opened the door wide, letting them look as much as they wanted. Concealing things would only lead to unfounded rumors, which could tarnish her reputation.

She said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, but I need to find my brother later, so I won’t join you."

Tang Yue’s voice was a bit faint. Jiang Beini wasn’t here to invite her for breakfast; she probably wanted to see if Mo Siyu was in the room, right?

"You didn’t come alone?" Jiang Beini’s voice involuntarily rose a few pitches. Her gaze fell on Tang Yue. That orange-red dress from yesterday was already eye-catching, and today, Tang Yue was wearing a white lace-trimmed blouse with tight-fitting bell-bottom jeans. The outfit was fashionable and attractive.

"No, I didn’t." Tang Yue nodded affirmatively.

Jiang Beini asked again, "You’re from the city, aren’t you? Your clothes are really pretty. Even in Jing City, I don’t think anyone else’s clothes look as nice as yours on them."

That was no lie. She had been to Jing City many times and had never seen anyone wearing clothes as nice as these.

Jiang Beini concealed the envy in her heart.

"No," Tang Yue replied, "I grew up in the countryside since I was a child."

"I can’t tell at all." Jiang Beini looked at Tang Yue incredulously. Given her demeanor, if Tang Yue hadn’t said she grew up in the countryside herself, Jiang Beini would never have believed it.

Tang Yue just smiled, not responding. She rubbed some Snake Oil on her face. Whether winter or summer, she liked to apply cream to make her face feel moist.

This product was brought from Jiang City by Wei Jiajia, who gave both her and Zhang Hualian two bottles each.

It wasn’t like the future where makeup products were as common as hair on a cow. In her past life, it wasn’t until the year 2000 that she bought Snake Oil, which cost just one yuan and came in small packets - she would squeeze out a bit when she needed to use it.

Now, in the year ’88, Wei Jiajia’s Snake Oil was already being sold in boxes.

It smelled very nice, and Tang Yue liked it, always applying it no matter where she went.

"I wouldn’t have thought that Brother Mo would buy Snake Oil for Miss Tang," thought Jiang Beini as a matter of course. In her dark and contemptuous mind, she speculated that Tang Yue might have attracted Brother Mo with her young body.

Tang Yue denied, "Sister-in-law, this was bought for me by my little aunt."

Originally, she had the intention to get along well, but now she felt that there was no need. The contempt and jealousy in Jiang Beini’s eyes made her dislike her.

Is it that everything she owns must be bought by Mo Siyu?

As the conversation was not going anywhere, Jiang Beini and Ruan Xiuxiu talked for a long time, mostly by themselves, with Tang Yue occasionally responding. It wasn’t until Li Wei came that Tang Yue breathed a sigh of relief; she would rather do more sketching than talk to these two.
