Chapter 1370: Chapter 1370: The Third Joyful Event
The disliked An Bai was sitting in the audience, eyes fixed on Meng Shuqing on stage.
Even though on stage, the lights were shining brightly and the match was in full swing on the big screen, in An Bai’s eyes, it seemed as if the whole world had only Meng Shuqing left.
Even with a hat covering most of her face, from An Bai’s position, he could clearly see Meng Shuqing. Her slender fingers moved across the keyboard, her expression focused as she looked at the screen, and her eyes seemed to glow.
Throughout the match, An Bai’s gaze never left Meng Shuqing.
The result of the match was no surprise, Meng Shuqing and her team won.
The moment they were announced as champions, Xu Fang’s tears fell, and the team couldn’t help but embrace each other.
Winning, that sense of achievement.
Aunt Xu would be saved.
Meng Shuqing could also feel their excitement.
…
“Ah…”
Just as Meng Shuqing got in the car, she felt someone hug her.
In her ear came An Bai’s voice saying, “Congratulations, you won the match.”
Although after the match, when the group hugged, it was really just putting arms around each other’s shoulders, An Bai just didn’t like it, so when leaving, he made a point of riding in the same car as Meng Shuqing.
“Xiao Bai, let go first.”
His embrace was so warm, his scent enveloping her, making her heart race like it wasn’t her own.
“Chenchen, where do you want to go eat and celebrate later?”
An Bai buckled Meng Shuqing’s seatbelt, asking as if the hug just now was just an illusion.
“Red Bean Restaurant.”
Meng Shuqing had already made a reservation. She said, “But let’s go home first, no matter how nice the hotel is, it’s not comfortable to stay.”
“Okay.”
An Bai sent Meng Shuqing home.
As for Jian Xing who followed her, he left with Zhao Feng and the others, saying they were going to sing and relax first.
Jian Xing: My well-intentioned efforts, Chenchen will understand, right?
She didn’t want to be the third wheel any longer.
During the competition, one needs to be completely focused. Once home, Meng Shuqing relaxed, initially planning to have a quick bath, but unexpectedly, she fell asleep while soaking.
An Bai placed the just-delivered desserts on the table, so that after her bath, she could enjoy them.
He was on his phone responding to messages, concerning a fleeting frame of him in the live broadcast, he already had it taken down.
Among these, the messages from his dad, An Chong, and Bai Qing made An Bai couldn’t help but tug at the corners of his mouth.
An Chong: How to pursue girls.
It’s an article that practically outlines eighteen different methods of chasing a girl.
Did they think he didn’t know how to pursue girls?
An Bai directly exited that chat and looked at the message from his mom.
Bai Qing: Son, keep it up, bring back my daughter-in-law early.
An Bai thought, soon.
…
Yet, after waiting for a long time, Meng Shuqing still hadn’t come out.
An Bai’s expression changed slightly as he knocked on her door: “Chenchen, are you done yet?”
…
In the bathroom, the sleeping her didn’t hear An Bai’s voice at all.
“Chenchen?”
An Bai raised his voice a bit.
But still, there was no response from inside.
An Bai said, “I’m coming in, if you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your agreement.”
An Bai knocked on the door forcefully, but there was still no response.
An Bai pushed the door open; the room was silent except for the sound of water in the bathroom.
“Chenchen?”
An Bai’s voice was a bit louder, worried something might have happened to her.
In her sleep, Chenchen vaguely heard someone calling, and she muttered a response: “What’s up?”
Her voice wasn’t loud, but it made An Bai let out a big sigh of relief, and he raised his voice: “Chenchen, it’s winter now, don’t soak in the water too long or you’ll catch a cold.”
“Oh.”
Meng Shuqing mumbled a response, lifting her head out of the water in a daze, finally realizing she had fallen asleep in the bathtub.
After the bath, Meng Shuqing felt extremely relaxed, changed into clean clothes, and when she saw her favorite red bean taro balls on the table, she smiled gratefully and said, “I was thinking of visiting Aunt Xu tomorrow. Are you coming with us?”
“Sure.”
An Bai responded.
But Meng Shuqing was a bit surprised; why did he want to come along?
She really didn’t expect it.
“I happen to be free, and since they seem to be nice people, there’s no harm in helping them out. If they want to keep competing, I could help them,” An Bai’s words made Meng Shuqing’s eyes light up.
“You mean, invest?” Meng Shuqing asked, unsure.
Similar to what Gao Hu did, but not quite. Gao Hu did it purely out of interest, and with the team members, he treated them like subordinates, bossing them around.
“Yes.” An Bai explained, “Don’t you want to compete internationally?”
“I know you don’t like being in the spotlight, but if Zhao Feng and the others compete internationally, even if you can’t play personally, you can still enjoy the excitement, right?”
An Bai’s suggestion was quite tempting to Meng Shuqing.
“Zhao Feng and the others would certainly agree. I’m just investing; team matters would still be managed by Zhao Feng. I can also provide them with training facilities and top-notch computers.”
An Bai wanted to fulfill Meng Shuqing’s wishes, and he had already made ample preparations in this regard.
Meng Shuqing tilted her head and thought for a moment, “I’ll invest half as well, that way I can call myself half an owner. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll be competing again like today?”
Meng Shuqing found today’s match thrilling. The only downside was that the opponent wasn’t as strong as she had imagined.
If it were an international match, it’d definitely be more exciting, wouldn’t it?
Thinking this way, Meng Shuqing found An Bai’s proposition ever more appealing. She didn’t have time to manage a team, but Zhao Feng did. Besides, Xu Fang, who needed to make money urgently, would certainly be willing. If they really could make it to the international stage, even getting recognized nationally would earn them way more money than they do now.
“Then let’s go quickly, and announce the news today.”
Meng Shuqing was so excited she couldn’t wait to share the news.
An Bai smiled, his gaze falling on her bright, shimmering eyes. He thought, besides him, who could be worthy of Chenchen?
Red Bean Restaurant.
Meng Shuqing had already booked a large private room, and the dishes were well-prepared, catering to both northern and southern tastes. They say it’s hard to please everyone’s palate, but with a table full of good food, there was something for everyone’s taste.
Today, they won the match; Zhao Feng and the others had just sung a song and drank a little wine, they were in high spirits, especially Xu Fang. When he visited the hospital in the afternoon, they received good news — his mother’s health had improved sufficiently for surgery.
Today was truly a day worth celebrating.
Xu Fang thought to himself that two joyous events coincided, but soon he realized there was a third happy occasion.
