“I know, right? I’ve never seen Senior Yichen being so nice to anyone before. Mu Xiaoxiao, does he like you?”
“It must be so! Mu Xiaoxiao, you’re so lucky. There are so many handsome guys who like you. You’re also close to Song Shijun and your relationship looks really close. Does he like you too?”
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled bitterly. “What nonsense are you talking about! They don’t like me. We’re just friends.”
“Really?” The girls were in disbelief.
Mu Xiaoxiao said helplessly, “Can’t girls and guys just be friends? Qiqing and Shijun hang out together frequently so do they have to like each other romantically?”
“But…”
Mu Xiaoxiao was tired from finishing her run. She didn’t want to debate with them and thus waved a hand to interrupt the girls’ words.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. We’re really just friends. If you like Lu Yichen, you can try to get closer to him. I’m so tired and I want to sit down.”
“Sit here. I’ll hold you.”
This time, Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t reject them. Her legs felt a little weak and being held made things feel a little more comfortable.
Some of the girls followed her and sat down around her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little unused to the sudden friendliness shown to her.
“You can go and play. I can rest here alone.”
One of the girls stammered, “Mu Xiaoxiao… about that, how about we go over there to see Senior Yichen play basketball?”
“You can go there by yourselves. I’m not going.” Mu Xiaoxiao wasn’t very interested in basketball. Also, it was a little more sunny there than here
“But…” The girls looked at each other. “If you don’t go, there isn’t any point in us going there.”
Mu Xiaoxiao understood them instantly. They wanted to use her to interact with Lu Yichen.
She thought for a while and stood up. “Alright, let’s go and watch him, then.”
The girls by her side hugged her arms as they beamed. “Mu Xiaoxiao, you’re such a good person!”
When Mu Xiaoxiao was in America, her good friends would often hug her arms like this as well. However, she wasn’t close to these girls, and thus felt that such an intimate gesture was a little… weird.
However, she didn’t shake them off out of politeness.
Thus, a bunch of girls headed to the side of the basketball court.
There was a large tree at the corner of the basketball court that provided shade. The girls chose to sit there.
In the court, Lu Yichen was playing basketball with his classmates.
Because there weren’t a lot of people, they played a three-on-three match, with a boy at the side keeping score for them.
Upon seeing Mu Xiaoxiao walk over, Lu Yichen glanced over and waved to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and waved back.
However, the girls beside her were shrieking.
“AH —!! Senior Yichen’s waving at us!”
“Ah,ah! I’m going to faint from happiness. Senior Yichen is so handsome!”
Mu Xiaoxiao dug at her ears, smiling bitterly with regret.
She wouldn’t have come if she had known this would happen.
In the past she had only heard these infatuated screams from a distance. Now however, they were right beside her and the screams seemed as if they were going to burst her eardrums.
She practically asked for this!
However, upon seeing the girls’ happy and excited faces she couldn’t bear to tell them that she wanted to leave.
Alright! She would stay and follow through with her actions.
The basketball match was intense. Lu Yichen wasn’t calm as usual and played a little more aggressively.
