Chapter 77: Go Back and Find a Girlfriend
All eyes were on Ye Erruo when she returned to the training site and sent her mates into a frenzy. After all, she had not returned to the dormitory for the night after leaving with Young Master Mo yesterday.
“I'm back, Coach.”
Chen Zhanxiao sized her up with a glance. Not maimed or injured. Only her walking posture looks a little off. She seems to have suffered quite a punishment yesterday!
“Yes.”
“Okay.” She returned to the team.
“Ruoruo, yesterday…”
“I'm fine,” she answered.
“Where did you sleep last night? Did Young Master Mo punish you?” Yao Tiao whispered inquiringly.
“Yao Tiao, step forward.” Her body jerked upon hearing that resonant voice, and she swiftly pulled away from her team.
“What were you whispering about?” asked Chen Zhanxiao.
“Nothing, Coach Chen.”
“Fifty push-ups.”
Her face crumbled. “I was asking Ruoruo where she slept last night.”
A second later, Ye Erruo felt curious stares shooting her way. She stood ramrod straight as she kept mum and looked forward.
The coach shot a glance at her. “Go back. You'll do a hundred sit-ups if I catch you whispering again.”
“Understood.” Yao Tiao hastily slipped back and joined her team. The issue of her starvation aside, when the coach had finally shown mercy on them and allowed them to eat dinner last night, she had hardly been able to hold up her chopsticks with her sore, aching, swollen arms, which were the result of those eighty push-ups.
“You'll still be learning archery today.”
“Coach Chen, who will be our teacher? You or Young Master Mo?” asked a girl.
The sullen coach opened his mouth. “Didn't Young Master Mo teach you already?”
The girl said nothing.
“Coach Chen, what's Young Master Mo's ident.i.ty?” asked another girl.
In a cold, arrogant manner, he asked, “Have you heard of Y?”
Y was the legendary yet mysterious spec-ops.
“Yes, we have.” The girls' eyes lit up.
“The top Y and its top leader were all trained by Young Master Mo.”
“Wow…”
“Of course, it's not just— Anyway, don't you all go acting like fools and looking all sluggish and sleepy around him. Otherwise, you'll be in for a good punishment.” With that, he shot a deep, meaningful glance at Ye Erruo that seemed to imply: You'll end up like her if you are disobedient.
“He looks really young.”
“Aw! My heart has been captivated by him.”
Yao Tiao rubbed the tip of her nose. “Teac— Cough. Coach Chen, does Young Master Mo have a girlfriend then?
How could he possibly not see through their thoughts? Nevertheless, he coldly replied, “No.”
“OOOH!”
“No girlfriend? Wa ha ha ha…”
The rest of the girls nearly looked up at the sky and laughed heartily.
Chen Zhanxiao turned solemn. “What is on your minds, huh? What is on your minds?”
Yao Tiao only let out a cackle that contained ill intentions.
Ye Erruo said nothing throughout the exchange.
The coach rarely wished to share gossip with them. “You delicate-missies-c.u.m-celeb-wannabes aren't Young Master Mo's cup of tea.”
No one paid any attention to him, thereafter. Instead, everyone's sparkling eyes were practically gleaming at the news that Mo Jiangye was looking for a girlfriend.
Ye Erruo's lips curled. He's my man now and always! You people can forget about owning him.
“Here he comes, here he comes. Coach Mo is here.”
“Aw! Cool!”
Excited whispers echoed from all sides.
With eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with possessiveness, conquest, and desire, she regarded the man who was walking toward them from afar with a smirk.
His arrival surprised the coach, as there was completely no need for him to coach newbies like them.
From afar, the man could sense his woman's scorching gaze on him, which had him arching a brow in surprise.
“h.e.l.lo, Young Master Mo!”
Chen Zhanxiao was speechless.
