At 5 p.m., on the way to the coach's office, Qiu Shiyue followed closely behind.

"Don't you need training? What are you doing following me?"

“The coach said,” Qiu Shiyue said smugly, “that he wants me to escort you there.”

Blizzard looked her up and down: "Do you know that to outsiders, you look more like a prisoner?"

Just as Qiu Shiyue was about to get angry, Blizzard interrupted her: "Don't be so quick to get angry, listen to me."

Look at you, with that bitter face, like a hanged ghost is hanging on your face. And every now and then you let out a sinister laugh, it really sounds like the sound of the underworld.

I walking in front of you is more like clearing the way for you. Your arms and legs aren't even as thick as a fried chicken frame; if the owner sold you, I'd flip his stall over.

Qiu Shiyue was so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged.

So telling her not to rush meant she had to belittle herself first?

She acted faster than she thought, and went up to slap her.

Blizzard had always been wary of her, so he grabbed her wrist, bent her arm, and changed direction.

"Snapped"

Qiu Shiyue slapped herself hard.

Her face was filled with disbelief.

The blizzard was quite powerful; half of her face turned visibly red.

"How can you be so simple-minded, even more so than a paramecium? Even when you can't beat me, you still insist on throwing your life away."

"you!"

"You two."

Liu Guoliang stood in the stairwell and shouted to them downstairs, "Stop making a scene there, come up here and talk."

Tears welled in her eyes from the pain, but she had to pretend to be obedient in front of the coach. She could use that to her advantage later.

She covered her face and quickly walked past the blizzard, stopping at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor, out of the coach's sight.

Blizzard strolled leisurely behind her with her hands behind her back.

It seems like I came here to relax.

"See, I didn't tell the coach!"

Blizzard shrugged. Whatever.

Qiu Shiyue was furious, even more furious than a pufferfish.

Upon entering the office, Qiu Shiyue was about to complain, but Liu Guoliang didn't have time to listen to her useless whining and went straight to the point: "Blizzard, we found out that an auntie in the cafeteria accidentally spilled something in the soup. What do you think about this?"

"How do I see? Of course, I see with my eyes."

That auntie must be Aunt Qian.

But that would drag her into it—

Blizzard looked towards Qiu Shiyue.

"Why are you looking at me? You and Aunt Qian conspired to put drugs in the soup. It's not fatal, but your actions are extremely egregious! Coach, you need to deal with this immediately..."

The moment her eyes met the coach's probing gaze, she immediately shut her mouth.

Liu Guoliang: "Qiu Shiyue, I never said that Blizzard and Qian Fang colluded. Where did you get that conclusion?"

Qiu Shiyue's heart froze.

I am too impatient.

She stammered, "I... I was hurt, so I investigated it myself. Then, Aunt Qian cried and apologized to me. Yes, Blizzard forced her to do it."

After speaking, he cautiously glanced at the coach.

Liu Guoliang narrowed his eyes and looked at Coach Xiao beside him. The two exchanged a glance but did not speak.

Coach Xiao: "But Qian Fang didn't tell us that."

"what?"

Qiu Shiyue's eyes widened.

That's impossible. She repeatedly told Aunt Qian to repeat the lines to her several times to make sure she hadn't forgotten them before leaving. How could she have misremembered them?

Then why call Blizzard? Wasn't it because they discovered she was an accomplice?

Coach Xiao stood there looking at her, exuding a very oppressive aura, and Qiu Shiyue felt cold sweat pouring down her back.

"Then, what did Aunt Qian say?"

Liu Guoliang: "She said that she was sick and, in order to make it easier to eat while working, she unpacked all the medicine and put it in a plastic bag. When making soup, she mistakenly thought it was starch to thicken the soup."

Blizzard: ...What a lame excuse.

Can you trust a coach?

The coaches didn't believe it.

"The place where she made soup was in a blind spot, and because of the fog, the surveillance cameras couldn't see clearly, but they could capture you frequently entering and leaving the break room for a period of time. I asked you, why did you go there?"

Qiu Shiyue's lips trembled as she tried to change the subject: "Weren't you going to ask about Blizzard? Why, why are you asking me?"

Liu Guoliang turned to look at Blizzard: "Because only you and Sasha seemed to be fine during this competition, we need to make a routine inquiry. Sasha got first place, so for the sake of fairness, we also need to rewatch the competition video. If necessary, this result cannot be counted."

Since it concerns Sasha, Blizzard is no longer in a spectator's mood and is getting a little emotional.

"Coach, I didn't have much contact with Sasha or Aunt Qian from the cafeteria. You can ask everyone about that. Sasha's first place is well-deserved. It wasn't all smooth sailing. Everyone saw her comebacks against all odds."

She turned and glared at Qiu Shiyuebing with hatred: "It wasn't Sasha's intention that her opponent was in bad form. It's really unfair to deny her hard work just because someone else sabotaged her."

Liu Guoliang nodded, agreeing.

He only said "maybe," without mentioning her, and the child got a little agitated.

He waved his hand: "We know what you're saying, but we're just saying it for now."

"Qiu Shiyue, please explain."

Qiu Shiyue knew she couldn't escape being called out again.

She used her secret weapon, and her eyes immediately reddened.

"My parents are divorced, and I think Aunt Qian looks a lot like my mother, so..."

Qiu Shiyue's words sounded like those of a child who lacks love.

There is indeed no rule stating that athletes cannot go to the staff lounge.

Liu Guoliang tapped her fingers on the table, lost in thought.

"You guys first..."

“I’ll go ask Aunt Qian,” Blizzard said.

Liu Guoliang thought for a moment, then said nothing, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Even after leaving the office, Qiu Shiyue was still wiping away tears.

She was still crying as soon as the door closed.

"Have you had enough of performing? There's no audience here for you. Turn off the tap and save water, starting with you."

Qiu Shiyue wouldn't listen; she just kept crying.

Blizzard was so annoyed by her crying that it tried to get away from her as quickly as possible.

Just past a house, we saw Sasha and Datou coming together.

She said, "Why is Qiu Shiyue being so pretentious?"

Her parents divorced eight hundred years ago, and she's taking so long to react; she's only feeling upset today.

"Why are you here?"

It's lunchtime now, but the cafeteria is in the opposite direction.

Sasha: "I've come to find you."

Big Head: "I'm looking for a coach, and I'm going the same way as Sasha."

Sasha asked, "What's wrong? Why did they suddenly call you away?"

"Nothing, just asking about something."

Qiu Shiyue blurted out, "The coach said he's going to disqualify you from the round-robin tournament."

Sasha: "? Why?"

Blizzard shoved her aside with a thud, saying, "She's all talk, don't listen to her nonsense."

"There's still a breeze, otherwise why would I say that!"

She was so upset, she covered her face and cried, asking Big Head for comfort: "Brother, Blizzard hit me, pushed me, bullied me, please help me get revenge, okay?"

Big Head took a step back: "What kind of weird noise is that? What part of your body could make that sound? Did you get a slipper stuck in your throat?"
