......
"Silence Suzuka, welcome back."
A faint smile appeared on Silence Suzuka's tired face, "No salute this time?"
"I'm saving it for your next G1." Lu Jue draped the sports jacket he was holding over Silence Suzuka, "You can go to the lounge and rest for a while now."
"Mhm."
At this moment, Seiun Sky, Tokai Teio, and Nimble Beret also arrived shortly after.
Nimble Beret: "Suzuka-senpai, congratulations on your victory."
"Suzuka, I also congratulate you on winning this championship!" Tokai Teio offered her congratulations, "Now we can have a celebration feast again!"
Silence Suzuka smiled at the two of them, "Thank you."
"Suzuka, if only you could also participate in the Chrysanthemum Award, I really want to compete with you officially again." Seiun Sky also walked over.
She had seen all of Lu Jue's actions just now, and was slightly jealous...
Later, during Silence Suzuka's Winning Live, she would get her revenge.
"Seiun, you really know how to pick." Lu Jue said with a smile, he didn't believe Seiun Sky didn't know that Silence Suzuka only got ninth place in the Japan Derby before.
She wasn't even suited for the 2400-meter Japan Derby, let alone the 3000-meter Chrysanthemum Award.
Seiun Sky turned her head and glanced, "Stare--"
Speaking up for her? Speaking up for her, is that it!
If she gets the chance, she'll make Lu Jue's mouth unable to speak.
......
Afterward, Uralala, Rice Shower, and Special Week also arrived.
"Suzuka-chan~ Uralala bought a lot of delicious things, quickly see what you want to eat." Uralala pulled out the popsicle from her mouth, "Trainer, help me hold this."
"Oh, okay." Lu Jue took it blankly.
"You're not allowed to secretly eat Uralala's popsicle."
"I wouldn't eat it, don't worry." Lu Jue helplessly watched Uralala open the bag and rummage through it in front of Silence Suzuka, "Is there any for Trainer?"
"Let's find one for Suzuka-chan first, Trainer, please wait a moment."
"Alright~" Lu Jue withdrew his gaze, and then unconsciously landed it on Rice Shower.
Rice Shower was startled, and after pulling out her popsicle, she moistened the corners of her mouth and said apologetically, "Rice Shower has already eaten this one, so she can't give it to Trainer."
Tokai Teio fanned the flames from the side, "Trainer, H--"
Seiun Sky nodded, "Hentai--"
"You two..." Lu Jue's face was covered in black lines, "When did I say I wanted to eat it?"
"If you didn't say it, then you thought it." Seiun Sky added.
Meanwhile, Rice Shower became more and more shy the more she listened.
"Suzuka, that's great, you won another championship."
As soon as Silence Suzuka picked out a bread, Special Week stepped forward and gave her a big hug.
"Xiao Te, thank you, I heard your cheering for me."
"Really!? I'll always cheer for you!" Special Week hugged her even tighter.
......
The Winning Live that night also went smoothly.
Lu Jue was actually a little heartbroken, because after returning to the lounge at the racecourse, Silence Suzuka fell asleep on the seat after sitting for a while.
She only ate half of the bread Uralala gave her.
Her performance during the race was truly excellent, but her body was truly exhausted after running.
Lu Jue couldn't bear to wake her up, only calling her when the Winning Live was about to begin.
"Lu Jue-jun, how long did I sleep?" Silence Suzuka was a little flustered after waking up, but felt relieved the moment she saw Lu Jue.
"No rush, there's still time."
"Where are they?"
"They went to grab seats first." Lu Jue poured her a glass of water, "If only Winning Live could be excused."
"How can that be?" Silence Suzuka knew Lu Jue was doing it for her own good. She got up from the chair, "Everyone must have waited a long time, we can't let down the fans' expectations."
"Alright, Trainer didn't think that much... Trainer just wanted you to rest well."
"I know." Silence Suzuka was touched deep down, but being naturally reserved and subtle, it was difficult for her to express it to Lu Jue.
A hug would be even better... but she didn't dare, just like how she still hid reading romance novels from Special Week.
"Sit for a little longer, I'll tidy your hair."
"Okay."
Silence Suzuka sat down obediently, while Lu Jue walked behind the chair and carefully combed Silence Suzuka's hair, tidying her important hair ornaments.
Lu Jue looked at Silence Suzuka in the mirror and saw that she was a little distracted, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Still not fully awake?"
"Trainer, meeting you feels like a very lucky thing."
It was difficult to express, but when expressed, it was so firm.
Lu Jue's hand movements paused, then he continued to comb her hair.
He said softly, "And why not I?"
"Suzuka, I think I know why Xiao Te has such a connection with you." Lu Jue suddenly said.
"Why?"
"Look at your hair color, isn't it very similar to the color of carrots? Xiao Te wouldn't sleepwalk at night and hug your head to gnaw on, would she?"
"Lu Jue-jun... I think it's your head that wants to be gnawed on." Silence Suzuka pouted, "Just now you wanted to eat Rice Shower's and Uralala's popsicles, hentai."
"No... you guys have such long ears, didn't you even hear what I said?"
"What did you say? Wasn't that what you said?"
"No." Lu Jue suddenly leaned close to Silence Suzuka's ear, "What I said was that I wanted to eat Suzuka's popsicle, H--"
"You..." Silence Suzuka's fair face instantly flushed, like a pink peach blossom, "I didn't eat any at all."
"So what? I didn't say anything at all either, did I?"
......
The Winning Live performance went smoothly, it was just that the lighting made Lu Jue's eyes uncomfortable.
"How did you guys grab seats so far in front?" Lu Jue complained.
This could be said to be right under Silence Suzuka's nose; Silence Suzuka also saw Lu Jue and the others as soon as she went on stage.
"I found them~" Seiun Sky curved her lips slightly, "This way, you can see your Lu Bao more clearly, can't you~"
Below, Seiun Sky took Lu Jue's hand and tickled his palm.
"Trainer, I have something to tell you, squat down a little, it's a secret." Seiun Sky tugged at Lu Jue's sleeve.
"What is it?" Lu Jue had no choice but to shrink his body and turn his ear towards her.
Seiun Sky glanced at Silence Suzuka, meeting her gaze.
She looked at Silence Suzuka with a mischievous smile, while leaning close to Lu Jue's ear, her cupped hands creating a private space for her mouth and his ear.
"Next time, I'll come find you with a popsicle in my mouth, to feed you; it's imported, you know."
"Don't be silly." With so many people around, Lu Jue couldn't do anything about Seiun Sky.
And she was intentionally or unintentionally touching his earlobe and blowing air into his ear.
......
Silence Suzuka on stage saw this scene clearly, her heart fluttered, and her dance movements went wrong.
How, how could these two be so close!?
They were too intimate! She even thought Seiun was going to kiss Lu Jue... thankfully not, thankfully not.
Facing the look Seiun Sky sent her way, Silence Suzuka also showed no weakness, and sparks subtly flickered in the air.
