"W-what? Lin Zhu isn't going back to the hotel but he's going back to our country? But, how come? Didn't you say that our athletes should return to our country together even if we lose the match, coach?" Surprised, Ye Quan immediately asked the older man for more explanation.
He still remembered when they took part in the Korean Open not too long ago. Even if they lost in the first round, they couldn't simply return to their country and had to wait for the other athletes to finish their matches.
It was indeed an unwritten rule in the team, and Ye Quan thought that it would be applied to Lin Zhu too. Thus, he was surprised when he heard Cheng Xiaojian tell him that Lin Zhu would be returning to China today.
Why was Lin Zhu even in a rush to return to China today? Was it because he didn't want to see him again that he had to return to China immediately? That was probably the reason, and Ye Quan felt a tightness in his chest at the thought.
