“Captain, I’ve been in the same team as you for two years, and I still haven’t been granted permission to address you by your great name.”
Mo Huaifeng turned to look at Nuo, who looked wholly confused. The smile hanging on his lips carried an unknown meaning. “Do you want to try?”
Seeing that smile, Nuo was instantly seized with terror as if he had seen a possession and shook his head like a rattle drum. “No no no, I don’t.”
Xiao and K were discussing the earlier match against Tall Boots in a low voice. Ji Zhiyao drank half of the bottle of yogurt drink in one go, looked down, and glanced at his watch. He then said, “I’ll leave first, the last school bus leaves at 5 pm. Any later and I won’t be able to catch the bus.”
“It’s fine, stay a little longer. Get Captain to drive you back.”
“It’s okay, that’s quite troublesome.”
Ji Zhiyao declined everyone’s suggestions and walked towards the door while looking back. “Fi…, I’m leaving.”
Instead, he saw Mo Huaifeng picking up the car keys on the table. Following him to the door, he spoke in a neutral tone. “I’ll drive you.”
“It’s fine, I’ll just take the school bus.”
“The suburbs are too remote, many hooligans.”
“…” Ji Zhiyao’s expression was a little difficult to express in a few words. “Let’s not mention that this wealthy-people district’s public order is so good that it’s appalling… Even if I really do encounter hooligans, I wouldn’t be the one suffering a loss.”
Mo Huaifeng looked up after changing his shoes. “Who told you it must be female hooligans?”
Ji Zhiyao had a complicated expression. “… Fi-god is so open-minded. Sorry, my bad.”
He saw that Mo Huaifeng was already done changing his shoes and his car keys that were also tightly held in this hand. He knew that no matter what he said, he reckoned that Mo Huaifeng would insist on driving him. Hence, he stopped rejecting and followed behind him out the door.
“One moment, I’ll get the car.”
Ji Zhiyao nodded, walking towards the gates of the base.
A few minutes later, he saw a pure-black sports car gradually come to a stop in front, and the logo right in front that was exposed to the air. If he had not remembered wrongly, it seemed to be Lamborghini.
Ji Zhiyao silently watched the door of the black sports car rise up, and the young man sitting in the driver’s seat slowly showed a smile and said, “Get in.”
… It was the same exact scene as those in certain idiotic dramas that Ji Qingge likes to watch.
Ji Zhiyao lifted his legs, sat into the passenger seat, and fastened the seat belt.
“S University?”
“Yes, do you need the navigator?”
“No need, it’s not too far. I know the way.”
“Oh.”
After the short conversation, the atmosphere in the car sunk into silence. Ji Zhiyao thought for a while and realized that there was no suitable topic to talk about. Hence, he decided to just shut his mouth. On the contrary, Mo Huaifeng looked as if he was slightly not used to it, taking the initiative to speak up after keeping quiet for a few minutes. “How does it feel to be in university?”
This question was so official it was a little like an interview, and Ji Zhiyao couldn’t help but laugh. “At the moment, lessons have not started, so I don’t have many feelings. In addition, S University is very close to my house, and I can reach home just by taking the public house. Staying in school is exactly like when I stayed in the school dorm in high school.
Mo Huaifeng looked as if he was choked by him and paused for quite a while before saying, “There is more freedom with your time compared to high school.”
“That’s not wrong.” Ji Zhiyao agreed.
Mo Huaifeng nodded. Then, they sunk into the predicament of having nothing to say once more.
It was Ji Zhiyao who recalled seeing Xiao’s hand injury before leaving. Guessing that his condition was not too good, he asked, “Fi-god, I saw that Brother Xiao’s wrist was very swollen. Does it have a big impact on training?”
At the mention of this question, Mo Huaifeng could not refrain from frowning slightly. “It does affect training, but his condition can still be controlled for the time being.”
Mo Huaifeng was, after all, Mix’s captain, and Ji Zhiyao was not yet signed to Mix, so he could not possibly explain all of Xiao’s condition. Therefore, he gave him a simple answer.
Ji Zhiyao could nearly guess his concerns and so did not question on.
