Realm of Mirrored Words

Wu Yong was still speaking with Tang Yi-Bai when Matron Yuan passed by. When Matron Yuan saw Tang Yi-Bai, she nodded at him. "Yi-Bai performed very well today." Tang Yi-Bai dipped his head down humbly, "Thank you, Matron Yuan." Wu Yong was gleeful. With a strange light shining from his eyes, he asked Matron Yuan, "How's that? You see this? This child that I, Wu Yong, have taught, the new Asian flying fish! He may very well become the next Olympics champion." Matron Yuan smiled slightly and said composedly to Tang Yi-Bai, "If you had followed me, you would have long become a world champion. What do you think? Interested?" Wu Yong's face darkened. "Who tries to steal from others right in front of their faces like you do? What am I? A dead body?" Tang Yi-Bai knew Matron Yuan was only joking, so he smiled and said, "Matron Yuan, Brother Feng is already enough to give you a headache. I'll not add to your troubles.&

The news agency attached a lot of importance to the tournament this time — other than Yun Duo and Lin Zi, Teacher Sun and another experienced senior reporter, Qian Xu-Dong, were also sent along to cover the event. Lin Zi was pretty much useless and could be ignored — initially, the reporters to be sent out did not include him, because the value of his contributions would not even compare to the price of the two plane tickets to send him there and back. However, Lin Zi had a wilful spirit backed by a fat wallet — that bit of money was not at all a concern for him, so he had funded his own trip here. Qian Xu-Dong was held in high esteem by Director Liu. Although he was a little overconfident, he was indeed talented. This time, he had come to the Champions Tournament not only to interview those well-known athletes. He had another mission: If Tang Yi-Bai performed well, he was to try to arrange an exclusive interview with Tang Yi-Bai and his coach Wu Yong. At 7 o'clock sharp that e

That weekend, Yun Duo was moving. Originally, Chen Si-Qi was planning to come and help, but Yun Duo told her that it was fine. In fact, the 'moving' part of the work was all handled by a moving company, she only had to put her things together and ready them for the move. Chen Si-Qi was currently tracking some major superstar; Yun Duo didn't want to hinder her work in the entertainment industry. Both the husband and wife of the landlord couple were there. Yun Duo called them 'Uncle' and 'Auntie'. Auntie's surname was Lu, Uncle's surname was Tang. What a coincidence ... the same surname as Tang Yi-Bai. Yun Duo scratched her head — where had this random thought come from? Auntie Lu was leaning back into the sofa leisurely watching the TV. The sofa was very soft, enfolding her body, and her propped up legs seemed extraordinarily long and slender. One of her hands was resting on the arm of the sofa, and her expression was lazy and relaxed, but she

When Yun Duo left home, her mum gave her ten thousand dollars. Yun Duo declined. "I'm already earning my own money." Her mum scoffed, "What's that little amount of pay good for? Didn't you say you wanted to move to a new place? Are you planning to live in a basement? Or maybe share rent with a bunch of people and have to line up just to use the bathroom?" "... it's not that dramatic." Honestly, she was already prepared to live frugally after renting a new place. "I'm giving it to you so just take it. Your dad's and my money will all be yours sooner or later anyway." Yun Duo was very touched. "Mum, I'll definitely take it seriously when you set up more blind dates for me next time!" "Haven't you been taking it seriously these last few days?" "Erm ..." And so, Yun Duo boarded the flight back to City-B with rental money sponsored by her mother. When she returned to the off
