Chapter 67
Xiang Yang-Yang was chasing Qi Rui-Feng and Zheng Ling-Ye around the rink when she saw Ming Tian gliding over. For some unknown reason, the silly boy was charging forwards with both hands covering his eyes, and very soon, he slipped on the ice and fell.
"Ming Tian, what's wrong with you?"
Ming Tian kept his eyes covered. "Boohoohoo, my dog eyes have been blinded!"
Qi Rui-Feng curiously hefted him up. "What did you see?"
Ming Tian refused to say.
However, as the big boss sister, Xiang Yang-Yang had already guessed everything. She was thrilled. "I want to go see too!"
Qi Rui-Feng followed her. "See what? I want to come too."
Zheng Ling-Ye silently followed them as well.
Ming Tian could not believe that the big brothers and sisters whom he had always admired could be so sleazy.
Xiang Yang-Yang and company circled the rink but were unable to find Yun Duo and Tang Yi-Bai. They then went off to a side to play, and when they returned, they found the other two had already come back and were hanging out with Ming Tian.
Yun Duo was even carrying a bundle in her arms, an unknown thing which was black and white in colour.
"What's this?" Xiang Yang-Yang walked forwards to take a closer look, and then she exclaimed, "Ah!"
It was a little rabbit. One of its ears was perked up while the other flopped down, and the rabbit was curled up in Yun Duo's arms.
"We found it," explained Yun Duo. "While we were playing by the grounds beside the rink, we found it hiding in the dry grass."
Ming Tian swallowed. "Tonight, we can have some barbecued rabbit!"
Qi Rui-Feng slapped the back of his head. "How could you bear to eat such a cute rabbit?!"
Yun Duo said, "We can't eat it. This rabbit is not afraid of people at all, so it should be someone's pet. Let's ask the management office whether someone has lost a pet."
Qi Rui-Feng petted the rabbit, and then he frowned and said, "Why is it so skinny if it's a pet rabbit?"
"Erm, don't know." Yun Duo was also shocked by its skinny frame as soon as she stroked the rabbit. It had a thick layer of fur, so you could not tell it was actually that skinny just by looking at it.
They went over to the management office and one of the staff on duty just happened to recognise the rabbit. He said, "This was left behind by a previous guest. They didn't want it anymore, so they abandoned it at our resort."
"Abandoned?"
The little rabbit was so pitiful. Yun Duo rubbed her face against its ears while Xiang Yang-Yang petted its body. Qi Rui-Feng eyes lit up. "Why don't we bring it back with us?"
No one raised any objections.
Still, there was only one rabbit and there were six of them. Who would raise it? Qi Rui-Feng actually really wanted to raise it, but he could tell that Yun Duo really liked the rabbit too. So, he was polite and asked his good brother first. "Tang Yi-Bai, do you want to raise it?"
Tang Yi-Bai shook his head, "I already have a rabbit."
Yun Duo was surprised. "Where? Why haven't I seen it?"
Tang Yi-Bai pressed his lips together and smirked at her.
Yun Duo instantly understood. How have I become a rabbit? You're the rabbit!
Red-faced, she countered, "Shut up."
"Okay."
Xiang Yang-Yang clenched her fists. "Yi-Bai, if you continue with the public displays of affection in front of me, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Qi Rui-Feng took the opportunity to jump in and say, "Since you two don't want it, I'll take it."
Xiang Yang-Yang said sullenly, "Why didn't you ask me?"
"Whatever you take care of, dies. Do you want the little rabbit to die?"
"..." This reason was really irrefutable.
They asked the resort for a cardboard box and then found some greens to feed the rabbit. After making sure the rabbit was settled, the group happily went out again. They ran off to a karaoke centre and sang for a good part of the day; they even had their dinner there. Yun Duo's ears suffered countless inhumane poisonings — by the time they came out, she was already beginning to doubt the meaning of life.
After resting for one night at the resort, they had to rush back to the team early the next morning. Qi Rui-Feng had come empty-handed, but he returned with a set of fishing equipment and a little rabbit. It felt like he had gone through a dungeon and come out with a chest full of rewards.
When they arrived back at the team, Qi Rui-Feng and Tang Yi-Bai each received a notification that they had been selected for post-race testing by the National Anti-Doping Agency.
There were pre-race tests, post-race tests, and random tests. Normally, for more important events, testing was done both before and after races. The Winter Championships was not considered a major event, so mostly only pre-race tests were conducted, along with the occasional post-race random testing. The Winter Championships this time round had no post-race spot testing planned. Hence, Tang Yi-Bai was a little surprised. He asked Coach Wu, "Didn't they say there wouldn't be any testing? Why is there testing again now?"
Coach Wu's complexion was bad. "You and Feng have been reported."
Tang Yi-Bai frowned. "Who could be so bored?"
If any athletes were reported to have used prohibited drugs, the Anti-Doping Agency had the right to conduct testing on them at any moment. Since they had just finished an event, the agency naturally added on a post-race test.
Coach Wu shook his head. "Humans should be wary of becoming famous as pigs fear growing fat. Feng often gets reported, no? Don't be too concerned."
"Yes." Tang Yi-Bai nodded. He had nothing to worry about anyway since he had not done anything wrong.
The testing was done that day itself — it was just a urine test. No one liked urine tests, because you needed to pee under someone else's watchful gaze. It was awkward just thinking about it.
Tang Yi-Bai did not take the testing this time very seriously. That night, he offhandedly told Yun Duo about the matter, and Yun Duo also felt that some people nowadays were really terrible, unable to watch someone else live a good life.
Tang Yi-Bai took some time to take the watch advertisement. It was only at this time that he really understood what the other was angling for — truly, he was still too young...
The video ads were aired on TV and on the internet. Besides that, there were also photo ads, taken in the style of large spreads of models placed into the fashion magazines. After that, the representative agent even spent a tidy sum to hire a number of Weibo marketers to make some noise on Weibo — tonight, we're all Tang Yi-Bai's girlfriend!
After the ads went out, the sales of the watches were beyond expectations. The manufacturer was so happy they could not stop smiling.
However, Tang Yi-Bai felt that this was a bad situation. Would Yun Duo be unhappy...?
Yun Duo: Heh, when you see so many other people wearing the pair to your lover's couple watch, and that was the due to your lover peddling his good looks... would you be able to smile and be happy?
When he called her, Tang Yi-Bai hastened to apologise to his girlfriend. "Duoduo, I was wrong."
Duoduo...
No way, it was too cringey. Yun Duo even forgot to be angry. "Only my parents call me 'Duoduo'."
"Can you add one more to the list now?"
"Okay, Doudou."
Tang Yi-Bai: "..." Endure it!
Tang Yi-Bai said softly, "Don't be mad, okay? I really didn't do it on purpose."
Yun Duo felt that she was too soft-hearted. Just a little coaxing and she found herself weakening. She sighed and grumbled, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"I really didn't know. If I knew, I wouldn't have done it."
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, but you have so many wives," Yun Duo suddenly found another thing that made her angry. "Go take a look at your Weibo. You're not just a national idol now, you're the national hubby!"
Tang Yi-Bai's voice was gentle enough to intoxicate others. "You can call me that too. So many people calling me 'hubby', but I've never responded back. If you call me that, I will respond."
Yun Duo's face flamed and she whispered, "Why are you becoming more and more sweet-tongued... I don't feel any sense of security at all."
"Why don't you feel secure? Don't worry. In our team, there are only men or female bros. Unless I'm gay, otherwise I definitely will not do anything to betray you."
"Then what about the female stars? Isn't that someone very beautiful?" Yun Duo felt choked up. Tang Yi-Bai had just attended an event a few days before, where he had been molested right away by a female star. The female star's fans then went around saying how cute this elder sister younger brother love relationship was. To that, Yun Duo had this to say: Cute my ass!
And then, she was hounded and scolded for a good long while...
At this moment, when Tang Yi-Bai heard her bring up this matter, he said pitifully, "Your man has been molested, why don't you show some sympathy?"
"I..." Yun Duo felt appeased by his words. She said, "Alright, let me console you a little. Avoid it next time!"
"Okay, I will. You actually don't have to worry."
"How so?"
Tang Yi-Bai smiled. "They're all not as pretty as you."
Yun Duo touched her flaming cheeks and suddenly felt a little rueful. What kind of boyfriend has she gotten tangled up with? Beauty level off-the-charts with high dual intelligence quotients and a sweet tongue will max-level skills at cajoling women... she was really defenseless against him! Was he destined to have the upper hand forever in their relationship?! (╥﹏╥)
