Stewed Squid with Honey

Chapter 9

Tong Nian was arranged to sit in the first row of bus. Still ignorant and slow, she did not know why she must go to the victory celebration.

Sitting in the car was the captain, and other gaming teams or possibly two teams, and reserve players. While waiting for the bus to start, the main and bench members of Chamber Storm, one after another got on. Several people carrying backpacks, because their builds are too tall, they all lowered their heads, evading the surprise bus door's attack. Then one by one, they pa.s.sed by her side.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

"Hello, sister-in-law."

"Hello, sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law, it's my first time meeting you, please take care of me ha."

Tong Nian awkwardly smiles yet not really, and not smiling yet not really. The curvature of her mouth throughout remained in a strange arc. Finally, only one guy wearing a baseball cap did not speak. He pa.s.sed by, and his footsteps pause for a moment. Silently he nods his head toward her in greeting. Then, the boy sits behind Tong Nian.

The driver asked him: "What time will your Leader get on the bus?"

The boy was silent for a few seconds: "Wait for a bit more."

Thus, everyone from all angles of the bus peeps at this Moe sister-in-law who fell down from the sky.

*Note: Fell down from the sky – This phrase is an idiom meaning that Tong Nian came out of nowhere. This could also mean she's drop-dead gorgeous because in Chinese folklores G.o.ddesses who come from the heavens (the sky) are often described as outrageously beautiful.

Tong Nian has never been so nervous.  Even performing on the stage for the first time, she was not this nervous. She sat up straight, not daring to make any sudden movements, lest give the club's people a bad impression.

She clearly hears from behind, the one who helped her get her luggage in a low voice asks: "Eh? D, when did your brother find a girlfriend? Doesn't he stay at the club for 24 hours?

"Don't know," D clearly not interested in pondering.

"Secretly crossing the Wei River? Leader (Laoda) still trying to play this case? He is scared that we will all follow him and date, and interfere with the competition?"

*refers to a strategy used by Liu Bang. To feign one thing while doing another.

After a brief silence, D answers: "The leader is not small* anymore, isn't falling in love a normal necessity?"

*Note: In Chinese, it sounds much more fluid in meaning that he is already an adult now so it makes more sense for him to have a relationship. This is not supposed to give the meaning that he is too old. I just realized after reading a bit more it could be a euphemism (substitution for offensive expression) for saying a certain private part needs certain s.e.xual needs (just stating it mildly already).

These words......are very easy to misunderstand. The many layers of meaning ah......behind him, each of the big handsome brothers took the hint, secretly with an ulterior motive, they laughed.

Once she heard these word through her ears, she was furious at once.

Where is Leader not small......

Obviously, he is super handsome. Compared to these feathered headed boys, he's manlier......

As a result, in the end, the team leader simply informs the driver, that he himself may return late to the hotel. Thus he let the other team leader lead the people to go back first. Tong Nian seeing her in a graceful stature, even wearing sportswear has a kind of unique quality of the female leader. She listens to her transferring people to follow all the time arrangements methodically, and suddenly felt, herself and her in comparison is simply......
