Chapter 333 - A Sleepless Night (1/2)

Chen Guo was never very good at controlling her emotions. When she wanted to laugh, she would laugh. When she wanted to be angry, she would be angry. When she wanted to cry, it was even more troublesome. She didn’t hold back her tears.

When she thought about Ye Xiu’s past and realized Ye Xiu’s helplessness, Chen Guo’s nose turned sour and she knew that tears would soon be pouring down.

“I’m going to sleep.” Chen Guo stood up, stamped her feet, and then rushed out.

Ye Xiu was a bit surprised. From his understanding of her, he a.s.sumed that she would begin conducting another, even deeper, interrogation. Who would have thought that the boss would just run out like that.

Ye Xiu scratched his head and looked towards Tang Rou. Tang Rou smiled and stood up: “Then I guess I’ll go back and rest as well.”

“Alright.” Ye Xiu nodded his head. After seeing her begin leaving, he put a cigarette to his mouth.

Tang Rou walked towards the door and pulled it open. Suddenly, she stopped and turned her head towards Ye Xiu: “Do you regret running away from home?”

“Never. I just feel a bit sorry. If I regretted it, then I would have gone back long ago. We’re still family.” Ye Xiu said.

“That’s true.” Tang Rou paused, nodded her head, and then left the room.

The door to the other room was unlocked. Tang Rou didn’t hurry in. She leaned on the wall for a bit before finally pus.h.i.+ng the door open. When she looked inside, she saw Chen Guo lying there on the bed. Her head was squished between two pillows, like the stuffing in a steamed bun.

“Ah! What happened? You don’t like your hair style?” Tang Rou walked up and said.

“You’re back…….” Chen Guo pulled her head out from the pillows and said as if nothing had happened. Her tears had been wiped clean by the pillows already, but her two red eyes couldn’t be hidden. Tang Rou kept smiling and said as if she hadn’t noticed it: “Rest early!”

Quickly, the room turned dark. Chen Guo’s eyes were still wide open as she looked towards the stars.

“Little Tang, are you asleep yet?” Chen Guo suddenly asked.

“Not yet.” Tang Rou replied.

“Do you approve of Ye Xiu’s reckless playing?” Chen Guo asked.

‘Yeah.” A simple reply.

“But now……. He can’t play.” Chen Guo said.

Silence.

Tang Rou obviously understood what Chen Guo was trying to say. For Ye Xiu, the Pro Alliance was his stage. However, he had already retired. On the dazzling All-Star stage, he could only be put together with the normal audience and sit there as a spectator. What would he be feeling during those moments?

“He’s not done yet!” Tang Rou said.

“What do you mean?”

“Someone who was determined enough to run away in order to play wouldn’t give up so easily. His Lord Grim will definitely stand on the stage once again.” Tang Rou said.

“Right, Lord Grim!” Chen Guo thought of that account: “An unspecialized has never appeared onstage before. He also has that self-made Thousand Chance Umbrella. When the time comes, he’ll definitely be scary, no?”

“Yeah, that’ll be fun!” Tang Rou said.

“But…….” Chen Guo was still worried. She had been following Glory up until now and was a fan of Team Excellent Era. She had quietly watched the downfall of the team and had read all sorts of media reporting Ye Xiu’s slipping condition. Even though she had her own thoughts on it, with so many people saying the same thing, Chen Guo didn’t feel very encouraged.

“It’s not that simple!” Tang Rou said after listening to Chen Guo’s doubts.

“What do you mean?” Chen Guo didn’t understand.

“One night……” Tang Rou quickly explained the night when Liu Hao paid a visit to the Internet Cafe.

“So there was something like that!!” Chen Guo jumped up from her bed in astonishment.

“That’s why I think that there is still a lot being hidden about his retirement.” Tang Rou said.

Chen Guo nodded her head repeatedly.

“I don’t really have a good understanding of that stuff though, so there’s only so much I can guess about it.” Tang Rou said.
