Chapter 197 Reasons for Changing Clothes

Chapter 197 Reasons for Changing Clothes
"Click."

After hearing the sound of the camera, Lu Yao subconsciously looked up, a little confused.

At this moment he was enjoying the comfort brought by the ice compress.

It’s true, this therapeutic ice pack that completely covers the waist is really comfortable, and it’s worthy of being used exclusively by athletes.

He was just considering whether to buy a few when he heard the noise.

As soon as he looked up, Bai Yao handed him the phone screen:

"See for yourself."

"?"

Lu Yao took the phone suspiciously, and then a trace of guilt appeared in his eyes:
"Uh...this..."

In the photo, his back is covered with scratches.

No need to ask.

Who else could it be other than the female police officer with twin pigtails who enforced the law violently last night?
But the problem is that he can't say it.

I could only smile awkwardly:

"hey-hey."

But Bai Yao sneered and seemed a little disdainful.

But he did not continue to ask questions in this regard, but said:

"I think your injury is a sprain. But I'm not an expert on this. After you apply the ice, go to the school clinic and have a look."

"No, I don't feel anything. And today is Saturday, so the school doctor is not at work."

"While we are here, the physiotherapist will definitely have to go to work. We still have training in the afternoon."

"This...must go?"

"Yes. Some injuries are just minor injuries at first, but as time goes by, they slowly become serious. The sooner you see a doctor, the better!"

"alright."

Since the professionals have said so, Lu Yao will definitely listen to their advice.

He understands the principle of listening to others' advice and having enough food to eat.

Bai Yao looked at the time and said:
"Then you should apply ice first. I'm going to have breakfast... Have you eaten yet? I'll bring you one."

"Row."

"Ah."

She walked out directly.

Lu Yao just kept applying the ice. Less than five minutes later, the door opened again.

Lu Yao heard a voice:
"I can push it in by myself. You go back. The car will be pushed away when they come to clean it up."

When he turned his head, he saw Bai Yao walking in with a cart and closing the door.

“…I can’t eat so much.”

"This is for both of us."

Senior Sister Leng Yan said this while checking the time.

"Five more minutes."

"Oh, good."

"Well, I'll go take a shower first."

"Ah."

Not long after, the sound of splashing water was heard in the bedroom.

Soon, the senior girl, wearing a loose T-shirt and sweatpants, came out and wiped her hair.

It can't be said that she is a beauty emerging from the bath, after all, the clothes and pants reduce her points a lot.

But... I have to admit that after she took a shower, her whole body exuded a healthy sense of vitality.

Although it is illusory, it can make people feel a healthy beauty intuitively.

Lu Yao climbed up from the sofa.

I moved my body a little and found that the rest of the pain was gone, except that my back felt a little uncomfortable when I walked.

But it is indeed much better.

And, most importantly, he was a little hungry.

The two of them started eating breakfast face to face without much communication.

In fact, in a sense, the senior sister and Xu Ruochu were the same type. They didn't like to talk much while eating. Plus, Lu Yao was very hungry, so they ate the meal in silence and devoured it in no time.

After finishing the meal, Lu Yao put on his clothes again:

"Will you have training later, Senior?"

"What do you say? I'm still fooling around here with you even though we have training?... Come on, I'll go with you."

"Senior sister, your shoulders are also uncomfortable?"

Hearing Lu Yao's words, Bai Yao glanced at him and nodded:
"Ah."

What else can you say?
Just go ahead.

The two of them went downstairs and rode their electric bikes to the school doctor.

It was still the two doctors who were physical therapists. When they saw the two people coming together, they were stunned at first. Then another doctor stood up and started pulling the curtain to separate the two people.

When asked by the doctor where he felt uncomfortable, Lu Yao recounted how he was injured.

The doctor nodded, asked Lu Yao to lie down, and then started to press on him to check.

The final diagnosis was a sprain, but it was not serious. But if I want to recover, I have to stretch and massage every day, although I can't say I have to rest.

To put it bluntly, the main reason for the sprain was that Lu Yao's body was too tense. And when training such tense muscles, every muscle needs to be stretched to the right position to avoid injury to the greatest extent.

Fortunately this time it was just a sprain, but it also showed that he needed to do more scientific stretching.

Lu Yao nodded quickly.

Indeed, his gym partner wasn't here today and there was no one to guide him, so his warm-up exercises were indeed insufficient.

I've learned a lesson.

He endured the pain and thought secretly.

……

It was already past 10 o'clock when Bai Yao came out of the infirmary.

Unlike Lu Yao, her massage is more complicated and detailed.

Seeing the junior sitting outside waiting for her obediently, a smile flashed across the corner of the senior sister's mouth, and she seemed very satisfied.

"What time do you leave for East China Normal University?"

"In the evening."

"Nothing during the day?"

"Hmm...does it count if I want to go back and continue working on the model?"

Hearing Lu Yao's words, she rolled her eyes:
"What do you mean? You don't recognize me after you pull up your pants?"

"???"

Lu Yao thought to himself, how can you say such vicious words?

Looking at the absurd expression on his face, Bai Yao thought for a moment, checked the time on her phone, and suddenly said:
"go shopping?"

"?????"

Lu Yao was even more confused.

"Shopping???? You're not training anymore?"

"Yeah. I don't want to go. I'm not feeling well."

Lu Yao thought to himself that your "uncomfortable feeling" came so quickly. You just said you had training in the afternoon, and now you feel uncomfortable?

Under his speechless expression, Bai Yao nodded:
"I need to buy a few...dresses, sort of. Come on, give me some advice."

"Dress?"

"...Are you only going to answer my questions with questions now?"

"What do you mean?"

"..."

"Hahahaha~"

Looking at the speechless look of the senior sister, Lu Yao instead revealed a malicious smile.

He rubbed his waist and pointed forward, meaning "go", and asked:

"What do you want a dress for, Senior? An event?"

"Well, it is."

"What do you mean by calculation?"

"…Didn't your girlfriend tell you?"

These words instantly touched upon Lu Yao's blind spot in knowledge.

Hu Li...Oh no, does Xu Ruochu have some new "interest" that I don't know about?

Seeing his puzzled look, Bai Yao thought for a moment and suddenly nodded:

"That's right. If it were me, I wouldn't tell you either."

"say what?"

"Ballroom dance."

She said a word that was very new to Lu Yao.

Not to mention Xu Ruochu, he had never even heard this word from his girlfriend.

Seeing Lu Yao's expression of "what are you talking about", she shrugged:

"You know, our parents' generation was the generation that carried tape recorders and break-danced in Houhai and the Temple of Heaven Park."

"Uh……"

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile:
"Do the people of Yanjing have such a rich variety of entertainment activities?"

"It's just the truth. To be honest, my dad is still crazy about Zhang Qiang. He often kneels on the washboard just to treat Zhang Qiang to dinner." "...Uncle has a pretty good life."

"Who says it isn't?"

She also had an amusing smile on her face, and continued:

"This social dance... can be considered as an inheritance from them. In fact, I also participated in quite a few times when I was in Yanjing, but I was still young at that time, and I just followed my brother and sister to join in the fun. Do you know what the attributes of this social dance are?"

"...From what you said, it seems like there is a very clear purpose?"

"of course."

As she spoke, she looked at Lu Yao jokingly:

"We are all of the same generation. If there is an organization, we can find a place to meet, make new friends, and bond. Maybe sparks will fly. Do you understand?"

"understood."

Lu Yao completely understood the nature of this social dance:
"Social gathering?"

"Yeah, that's what I mean. Didn't your girlfriend tell you about it?"

"…Are you so sure that my girlfriend has been there?"

"Why do you think my third aunt introduced that overseas returnee to your girlfriend?"

"Uh……"

"It's because she refused to go even though we asked her to. Of course, it's not Third Aunt's fault. You two hid it so well. Who would have known that the famous eldest daughter of the Xu family was secretly in a relationship?"

If it were in the past, Lu Yao would probably have been embarrassed.

But at this moment...what he wanted to do most was to roll his eyes.

Because...Senior, you are absolutely right.

exactly.

We are both in a really bad mood right now.

As for Hu Li...

He's not exaggerating, it's just that his girlfriend is such a "jinx" that if she goes, a group of people will probably have to hide in the corner, for fear of being blown up by being too close to her.

He muttered to himself and asked:
"So...senpai is also inevitably going to be set up on a blind date?"

"What kind of kiss?"

She almost swore again.

But there was already dissatisfaction between his brows.

Looking at Lu Yao, he said:

"I can't refuse. You know I was forced into your circle..."

"Senior, don't say 'you guys'. It has nothing to do with me. I don't even know which way the door of the circle opens."

"Tsk."

For some reason, Bai Yao made a displeased sound.

The two of them also walked to the carport:
"So I have no choice. If Third Aunt calls me, I have to go. I have no choice but to go..."

"I see. How about picking out an evening gown?"

"It's not necessary to wear an evening gown. Just look around and buy the ones that fit you. If they don't fit, forget it."

"...I thought Senpai was also a custom-made type."

"I'm not like that. I can't stand their behavior of throwing away the one they wear."

Hearing this, Lu Yao thought to himself, don’t say that… don’t say that.

This is so damn true.

He still couldn't figure out what Xu Ruochu meant when she said, "If I wear clothes I've used before, they'll laugh at me."

So I couldn't help but ask:
"Senior, will you really be laughed at for wearing the same clothes?"

"Your girlfriend said that?"

"…Well, I asked her why she only wore her clothes once, and she told me this."

"Well……"

Bai Yao thought for a moment and said:

"How should I explain this to you? Actually, it sounds quite contrived. But think about it from another angle. For example, I wore a piece of clothing to meet a client yesterday, and I wore the same piece of clothing when I met a client again today. If you were a client, what would you think if you saw me wearing the same piece of clothing for two consecutive days?"

Lu Yao put himself in the other's shoes and thought for a moment before saying:

"You'll feel a little unkempt."

"Yes, that's right. And if you extend the span... maybe your customer won't remember what you wore last time, but what if he remembers? Will he still have this bad impression?"

"Ah."

"So, that's probably the reason. It's not that you'll be laughed at for wearing the same clothes. You have to know... In some occasions, men don't mention it, just talk about women. What kind of skirt a woman wears, what kind of earrings she wears, what kind of bag she carries... are actually a symbol of self-taste and a display of status. It's just like the most taboo thing at a dance party is to wear the same clothes as someone else, and everyone will unconsciously comment on the two people from head to toe. It's not that you will be laughed at for wearing the same clothes, but it's a kind of self-cultivation."

As she spoke, she began to fiddle with her fingers:

"If the clothes you wear are cheap, it means you are not financially strong. If the jewelry you wear is not as expensive as others, it means you cannot afford it. If the clothes you wear are not as good-looking as others, it means you have a bad figure. If the makeup you put on is not good-looking, it means the makeup artist you hired is not good... Even further, if you are at the party today, it means everyone is at the same level, but if you are not at the party tomorrow, it means that your level may not be high enough for this party. Or if you wear the dress you wear this time again next time, everyone will think that this is the only one you have..."

"Is there still such a contempt chain? Why do you care so much about what others think? Isn't it better to be yourself?"

Facing Lu Yao's words, Bai Yao asked a soul-searching question:
"Be yourself?"

"Ah."

"Excuse me, how many people can really live in their own world, without considering how people around them look at you, discuss your words, comment on you... or even what they think in their hearts? Of course, I admit that there are such people. But have you ever thought about it? What if there are other people involved? For example, Xu Ruochu's boyfriend Lu Yao looks at her in this way, for example, Xu Guojun's daughter looks at her in this way... When people's definition of you is not only limited to yourself, but also includes the people around you, will you continue to be yourself? Or will you integrate into this group in order to prevent them from being criticized?"

Under Lu Yao's frown, she shrugged:

"Even Nietzsche, the madman who said God is dead, knew that all glory, respect, wisdom, thanksgiving, praise and power should be attributed to God forever and ever. We can live without others, but we should not let others die because of us, right?"

"..."

Now, Lu Yao was speechless.

After riding the electric bike in silence, he said with emotion:

"Okay, I understand."

Bai Yao also looked helpless:
"So, this is why I have to do it even though I clearly don't like it. I can choose not to do it, and I can do whatever I want, but Third Aunt can't. The same goes for you, even if... you don't care, Xu Ruochu doesn't care. But if one day someone says to him, "Xu Guojun's son-in-law doesn't look that good," you'll know what it feels like. To put it bluntly, for some things, as long as they have nothing to do with our true bottom line, even if we don't compete, we can at least not be too independent, that's all."

After she finished speaking, she saw Lu Yao's vicious look:

"Come on, let's go buy a dress! I'm telling you, buy it well for me! I'll give you good advice! I'm telling you, senior sister, I'll make sure you become the most handsome guy at the party!"

"..."

Bai Yao was speechless for a while.

But the next second I couldn't help laughing out loud:
"Ha~ I think it's okay."

As she spoke, she rode her electric bike:

"GO, let's go!"

“Thick hair, thick hair!”

The two of them rode their bikes all the way back to the hotel and got into her BMW 3 Series.

"Where?"

"...?"

Lu Yao was a little confused by her sudden question:

"you ask me?"

"If I don't ask you, who should I ask? I'm not familiar with the Magic City."

"...You're already a senior, and you're still not familiar with the Demon City?"

"I said that if I hadn't been unable to handle the pressure from my third aunt this year and started going out with her in various occasions, I wouldn't have even been to the Magic City once. Do you believe it?"

"So what do you usually do?"

“Training, fitness, studying, playing games, and watching concerts around the world.”

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched, and he pointed weakly in a direction:
"Henglong."

He is also familiar with Hang Lung.

But when Bai Yao heard what he said, she couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Haha, aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will be jealous?"

"What does it have to do with my girlfriend?"

"……you do not know?"

"what?"

"The founder of Hang Lung was named Chen... something, I can't quite remember. His father and your girlfriend's great grandfather were sworn brothers. The two families had a close relationship when they were in Hong Kong."

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched, and he quickly waved his hand:

"Change... anywhere. Maybe Raffles... is it related to my girlfriend's house?"

"I don't know."

"Walk around..."

Seeing his helpless look, Bai Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Hahaha, it seems...your girlfriend hasn't told you the truth yet."

"..."

Lu Yao looked at her with a look of evil humor and shook his head with amusement.

Is there any need to explain?

Just the few markings he saw in the tube were enough to make it seem out of his reach.

If I really tell the truth...

Tsk.
