Chapter 66
It wasn't just Lu Yao and Jiang Bai planning to go home today. Chen Mantou and Xia Yue also had things to do and needed to leave the villa.
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, the production team sent a car to take the four of them home.
Xia Yue's house was the closest to the villa, so she was dropped off first. Shortly after, Chen Mantou arrived at the entrance of his club.
That morning, after getting his phone from the production team, Chen Mantou found out online that when their preview aired, Lu Shenyuan, who usually hated live streaming, had actually done a live stream to promote it for him.
This had excited him all morning.
Chen Mantou entered the club's villa with his backpack.
In the living room, he saw Bai Mao sitting on the sofa watching a melodrama. The show was at a part where the female lead discovered the male lead had cancer, and Bai Mao's eyes were red.
They had just finished a match recently, so the club had given them a few days off. Chen Mantou was sent to film the show, while Bai Mao spent his days at the club watching dramas.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Bai Mao turned around in confusion. Seeing that it was Chen Mantou, Bai Mao sniffled and asked curiously, "Why are you back? Aren't you supposed to be filming some show?"
Chen Mantou had grown used to the sight of Bai Mao, a big man, watching melodramatic shows. He slung his backpack onto the sofa and said, "We filmed all day yesterday. The production team gave us a break today, and we just need to be back there on time tomorrow."
Chen Mantou looked around but didn't see Lu Shenyuan. He asked Bai Mao, "Where's the captain? Isn't he at the club?"
Bai Mao replied, "He trained late last night. He's still sleeping upstairs. Why? Do you need to talk to him?"
Grinning widely, Chen Mantou seemed to be showing off as he said, "No, I just wanted to thank the captain for doing a live stream to promote the show for me."
Bai Mao: "..."
Apart from Lu Shenyuan, Bai Mao was the only one in the club who knew that the captain didn't do the live stream to promote the club or Chen Mantou. Lu Shenyuan, being a doting uncle, simply wanted to watch his nephew.
Now, hearing the gratitude in Chen Mantou's voice, Bai Mao really wanted to shake his shoulders and wake him up from his daydream. Expecting Lu Shenyuan to have team spirit was probably something that would happen at the end of the world.
Bai Mao sighed deeply, "Just keep your gratitude to yourself. If you say it out loud, the captain will be embarrassed."
Chen Mantou didn't have much interaction with Lu Shenyuan, so he was surprised by Bai Mao's words. His eyes widened slightly. "Is Lu Shen really that easily embarrassed?"
Seeing Chen Mantou's innocent look, Bai Mao helplessly rubbed his forehead. "Yes, he's pretty reserved. If you really want to thank him, just play well in the matches to repay him."
Chen Mantou nodded seriously. He picked up his backpack and stood up. "I'll go train in the practice room now."
When Lu Shenyuan came downstairs after waking up, he passed by the practice room and saw Chen Mantou diligently training inside. He thought to himself that this new jungler was quite promising, with talent and a strong work ethic, returning to training immediately after filming.
Lu Shenyuan took a picture of Chen Mantou training and posted it in their club's group chat, specifically tagging Bai Mao.
[Lu Shenyuan: @Bai Mao, someone here has become a shut-in who only knows how to watch dramas during his break. Look at Chen Mantou's training passion and learn from him.]
