Chapter 353: Loving You, There's No Escaping It
At noon, in the quiet Training Base, sounds finally began to emerge.
Several team members wandered out of their rooms one after another, ordering takeout while obediently sitting down in front of their computers, preparing to train for a little while first.
But they didn't expect that as soon as they pushed open the door to the training room, they would see Jiang Baobao sitting in front of the computer, lost in thought.
"Boss, what are you doing? Why do you look so dazed?"
Xiao Ding spoke up, fearing no death, teased Jiang Baobao, and sat down next to her with a grin.
Jiang Baobao, however, seemed not to have heard, just staring blankly at a competition map on the computer screen in front of her, seemingly lost in deep thought.
"Boss? Are you really dazed?"
Xiao Ding couldn't help but reach out and wave his hand in front of her.
Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality in an instant, only then realizing that the whole room of people had actually arrived.
"Ahem!"
She gave a light cough, hurriedly stood up with her notebook, glared at Xiao Ding with annoyance, and then said, "Since everyone is here, I'll go over today's training plan. Everyone went to a wedding yesterday, which counts as a special circumstance, but it did indeed delay training for a day. So, I've moved your practice match scheduled for tomorrow to today as a surprise inspection. The match will start in about an hour. Everyone can log into your own accounts to warm up first..."
As Jiang Baobao spoke, she closed the map on her computer and quickly created a server for the match.
No one had any objections to this, so they immediately put on their headsets, logged into the game, and focused on their pre-match warm-ups.
Shen Lingfeng sat down beside Jiang Baobao and asked as usual, "Which Team is the opponent? Is there any data on them?"
"Yes."
Jiang Baobao nodded and quickly clicked on a folder on her screen.
"It's a foreign Team. We've faced them once before, and their playstyle and approach are quite similar to Shadow. It's no big problem for them to play a simulation match with us."
As Jiang Baobao spoke, she casually opened a video and continued, "Let's watch the recording of their previous match first, so we'll know where the problems lie later."
"Okay."
Shen Lingfeng nodded and took out his notebook, intending to jot down the key information.
Neither of them spoke, and as usual, they watched the match video in front of them intently.
But as she watched, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but start to lose focus again.
In the game, a support player wearing a pink dress was desperately protecting their teammates.
That was the most popular class among female players in the game.
Not only because it had a beautiful appearance, but also because all of her healing skills for teammates were accompanied by pink flowers, one by one enveloping the teammates, looking cute and dreamy.
Jiang Baobao's gaze couldn't help but subconsciously drift back and forth with that pink figure.
Watching her casually cast a skill, a small pink flower would land on the teammate in front.
Flowers...
Jiang Baobao's eyes flickered for a moment, and her mind suddenly recalled the two huge bouquets that were suddenly delivered to the villa one morning.
Immediately following that were the flowers that had been shoved into her arms at the night market, still emitting a fragrance.
And the day the drawing ended, when Li Beijue was holding flowers, waiting outside the door with the two little ones...
And even more recently, yesterday, that bouquet that fell into her arms...
"Baobao, what are you thinking about? Are you not feeling well?"
Shen Lingfeng's voice suddenly rang in her ear, abruptly pulling back Jiang Baobao's thoughts.
She snapped back to reality instantly, only then seeing that the video in front of her had been paused by Shen Lingfeng at some point.
And he himself was looking at her with concern.
"I..."
Jiang Baobao opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to explain, but she got stuck.
It was the first time she had been so absent-minded at work, and she felt a bit guilty for a moment.
Then she heard Shen Lingfeng ask with concern, "Was it too busy yesterday, and you didn't rest well last night? If you're too tired, go lie down for a while. I can watch this bit of video, and the afternoon match can be left to me as well..."
"No need, I'll keep an eye on the match. You have other work to attend to; otherwise, it would be too exhausting for you."
Jiang Baobao shook her head quickly, reached out to rub her temples, and sighed helplessly in her heart.
Can this guy Li Beijue stop drilling into her head?
Why must she keep thinking about his affairs while working!
Jiang Baobao felt inexplicably annoyed, not knowing if she was angry at herself or at him.
She pondered for two seconds, then suddenly couldn't help but ask, "Lingfeng, if..."
Jiang Baobao stopped halfway through her sentence, suddenly falling silent.
Shen Lingfeng immediately asked in confusion, "If what? If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and she shook her head gently.
She had originally wanted to ask Shen Lingfeng what one should do if someone they had liked for a long time and later gave up on, now liked them again.
But the words reached her lips and she took them back.
Lingfeng was so smart, he would definitely guess who she was talking about.
Jiang Baobao shook her head in her heart, then pretended to be nonchalant and changed the subject, "Nothing, I probably didn't rest well last night, so I'm a bit listless. I'm going to pour a cup of coffee."
As Jiang Baobao spoke, she stood up and walked out of the training room.
She went to the pantry alone, unhurriedly brewed herself a cup of coffee, but didn't rush to leave.
The steaming hot coffee, with wisps of heat rising, made Jiang Baobao think of the way someone usually held a coffee cup in his study.
"Tsk... here we go again..."
Realizing she was thinking about Li Beijue again, Jiang Baobao felt impatient and rolled her eyes at the air.
Why is she thinking about him again?
Stop thinking about it!
Especially when working!
In any case, she didn't like him!
Jiang Baobao speechlessly warned herself in her heart, took a sudden gulp of the scalding coffee, and forced herself to calm down.
Then she quickly adjusted her emotions before returning to the training room.
But before she even reached it, she heard some noise coming from inside.
What is going on?
Weren't they supposed to be training?
Jiang Baobao frowned slightly and walked over with quick steps.
Just as she entered, she saw a very luxurious portion of Japanese cuisine placed on the table by the door, enough for at least seven or eight people!
Jiang Baobao's footsteps faltered, and she asked in surprise, "Who is being so generous today? Treating everyone to a meal all of a sudden?"
As soon as her voice fell, she heard Ke Hao, who was closest to her, answer loudly, "Of course it's our sugar daddy! Boss, does this count as us basking in your reflected glory?"
Jiang Baobao's brain buzzed, and the smile instantly froze on her face.
Why is it Li Beijue again?
She had finally managed to pull herself together!
