Playing Fish Trapped in Secret Room

Book 4: The Return of the King

Chapter 18

Later on when she mentioned the rookie king’s wish, Slide was amused.
“Were you kidding with him? Isn’t everyone at SP living in a single room?”
Ai Qing: “Oh, that’s right……”

The end result was that even before Taotao joined SP, there was gossip
spreading inside the club that he “specifically applied to live in the same
room with captain Slide.”

Because Ai Qing had been temporarily relieved of being a manager, she
could sneak out of the hotel in the evening. She went to the hotel where
K&K was staying and found Dt running on the treadmill with his earphones
on at the very corner of the gym.

She walked around all the workout machines to his side, stood next to the
screen and winked at him.

Dt took off his earphones, slowed down, and switched to a walking pace
when he saw her.

“Why aren’t you running?”

Dt pointed to the number on the display with his finger.

Ai Qing moved closer to look at it and was surprised. “19 kilometers, you’re
working very hard.”

“I’m waiting for you and killing time.” He honestly said.

Ai Qing felt sorry for making him wait for so long. She paced by his side with
hands behind her back and kept talking to him as her apology. She began with
how she fought against everybody to get the contract ready before she got on
the plane in the morning; how she met Taotao and felt sorry for the five boys who
had to keep everything a secret from their family in order to play the competition
at their first visit to Beijing. Then she talked about the hosting contract the day
before yesterday……”You know, in ‘04, it only required sixty or seventy thousand
RMB for a sponsor to host a commercial competition, which would cover everything
from the ad promotion before the competition, competition site, supplies, equipment
and the prize money. The names of the competitions I played at that time were all
something like “Blah Blah Eye Drops Cup CS FPS Challenge Competition’......”
But now, who would expect that just the award of an international tournament would
be several tens of millions of US dollars.

The sponsors were also bigger corporations.

“Xiao Bai, I really envy you.” She spoke sincerely. “You appeared at the best time.”

Wu Bai pressed the Stop button and jumped off the treadmill.

He looked at her big eyes without saying anything, using the sports jacket hanging
on the rack to wipe clean the sweat in his palm. Then he touched her face.

Didn’t you know?

My era is your era.
