207 A Girl Named Mou

"Listen to me! Deposit your cash in the bank every day, it’s not too much trouble."

"Stop! Stop! We’ll deal with those affairs later. Go downstairs to the Heaven-Flying Room. Your friends should be there to watch the match."

Qin Guan was pushed out of the room by Wang Hailang.

"Hey! Tell me, how much do you put in the safe? Listen to me..."

The door was closed with a bang. Wang shouted at him from inside, "You will get older sooner if you think too much! Just enjoy yourself, boy!"

Qin Guan shook his head and went to watch the watch. It was time. The Heaven-Flying Room had a beautiful name. Ever since those two had started their business, they had nearly become poets.

They would have been happy to hear that comment. "The service in our massage room will make you fly to Heaven!"

Qin Guan pushed the door open and found his roommates lying on the bed next to each other. The TV was hanging from the ceiling just above their heads.

The commentator was speaking, but nobody was paying attention.

The bald man was enjoying a massage. "Ah! Ouch! Nice! Your skills are wonderful, Xiao Xue."

The boys couldn't bear to watch. The fierce, tough man with the scars on his head was as tame as a rabbit under Xiao Xue’s hands.

They were listening to him compliment the girl with disgusting words.

"Are you tired, Xiao Xue? Sit here and take a break."

The girl glared at him. "You’re asking me to take a break? Who will pay me if I don’t finish the massage?"

Qin Guan pushed in and asked, "What are you doing? Did the match begin? Why are you having a massage now?"

Li Jie replied, "Qin Guan, it’s been a pleasure to be your brother. Nobody knew you were working part-time here. If we’d known that you are good at massages, we would have enjoyed ourselves in our dormitory."

Qin Guan sat on an empty bed and took off his shoes. A girl standing by walked over with a bucket in her hands.

Qin Guan took a sip of the juice and kicked Li Jie. "Who told you I’m giving massages here? I’m the CFO, understand? C-F-O!"

"A CFO has to be familiar with the business." Liu Xiaoyang put a small white cube on his forehead. The ice water would calm his up-flowing blood.

The girl serving him was wearing a black silk gown. Her fair neck was as elegant as a swan’s.

Liu Xiaoyang was dizzy. His blood was flowing back again. Before he could see clearly, the opening whistle was heard and the match began.

At the beginning, the teams pressed each other on the whole field. They did not let up, which was common for a soccer match.

The UAE team was not a weak one. They had to be treated carefully.

Suddenly, the Chinese centre forward intercepted the ball and started advancing. His teammates followed him, trying to protect him.

After a perfect cooperation, Li Xiaopeng got the ball and shot without hesitation.

"Goal!" In only two minutes, the Chinese team had scored its first goal.

The commentator was shouting loudly in excitement.

The boys were also shouting, "Nice goal!"

"How awful!"

Da Niu got scared. His foot jerked and he accidentally kicked Xiao Xue.

They looked at each other in astonishment. Da Niu's face turned red, but Xiao Xue smiled. Before she could speak, the door was pushed open.

"Who’s shouting? We’re closed. Who let you in?"

Everyone stared at the uninvited guest in surprise.

"Senior Qin?"

"Mou Xiaoliu?"

Astonished, Qin Guan asked her, "What are you doing here?"

Mou Xiaoliu was wearing a club uniform. She looked both happy and uncomfortable to see Qin Guan there. Pointing at Da Niu, she said, "He is my fellow villager. He recommended me to work here."

"The club gives us room, board and a high salary. I had nothing to do in the summer holidays, so I came here."

Recalling Mou's power, Qin Guan looked at Da Niu seriously. He had to be a mighty fighter himself. Looks could fool people after all.

Mou asked back, "Why are you here, Senior Qin?"

Qin Guan coughed before explaining to her, "I also work part-time here. There’s a match today, so the boss lent us a room for entertainment purposes. Come here and watch it with us!"

Mou Xiaoliu hesitated before shaking her head. "No, enjoy yourselves. Take care of Da Niu for me. He’s silly around Xiao Xue. I have to go."

Qin Guan nodded. Da Niu was still staring at his own foot, which had touched Xiao Xue. He was paying no attention to Mou.

The door was shut again. Mou leaned against the wall outside and took a deep breath, covering her pounding heart.

Senior Qin is still so handsome... I thought time would make everything fade away, but it seems I was fooling myself. I don't want to grow up. Things will only get more difficult. I have to let him go. I’ll just keep the beautiful memories in my mind.

Opening her eyes, Mou waved her fists towards the sky and then disappeared at the end of the corridor.
