You're My Only Star

Chapter 57 - Grandfather's Birthday

A few days before her grandfather's birthday, Song Xing Xing followed her cousin, Song Yi, and headed to Y City.

On her grandfather's birthday, Song Xing Xing woke up very early and changed into a blush pink maxi dress before she walked down the stairs. As she looked around, a lot of her family members had gathered to celebrate her grandfather's birthday.

This time, her grandfather's birthday would be held at the old mansion. Since early in the morning, her mother and a few of her aunts were running around here and there to ensure that everything would be perfect.

Song Xing Xing looked around and thought that everything around them was already perfect, however, the elders were still anxious that something would go wrong with this banquet.

Seeing that there was nothing else that she could not help with, Song Xing Xing went to find Han Yue Xiu and played with Xiao Jun.

Song Xing Xing thought about her strategy to stay with her sister-in-law and smiled.

During the last time she ran into Lu Xun at the restaurant, Song Xing Xing had already understood Lu Xun's relationship with the people around her. Her sister-in-law, Han Yue Xiu is a good friend of Li Qin Yao. Li Qin Yao's husband, Zhang Yu Han is friends with Lu Xun.

If Lu Xun would show up, he would definitely appear around her sister-in-law, right?

Song Xing Xing started to laugh as she thought of how clever she was.

Soon, the guests started to show up and filled the hall.

The moment her grandparents walked down the stairs together, the surroundings turned silent. It was only after her Grandfather had spoken and let the others continue did the chatters began again.

A lot of guests had shown up, but the person she was waiting for had not appeared. After waiting for so long, Song Xing Xing thought that she should give up.

Last time, Song Yi had sent an invitation card to Lu Xun, but the man had never said that he was going to attend the birthday banquet.

After spending an hour around her sister-in-law and her friends, Song Xing Xing chose to leave with the group of kids who has been pestering her to play with them.

At this time, that little girl called Zhang Li Xue dragged everyone to the court outside and suggested playing basketball with everyone else. The girls were naturally uninterested, but the boys quickly agreed with her suggestion.

Song Xing Xing helped to lower the basketball hoop and accompanied the kids to play. She stood at the side and watched as the little girl shot a three-pointer in her fluff princess dress. Seeing this scene, Song Xing Xing could not help but to give the girl applause.

Previously, Song Xing Xing had heard from her sister-in-law that this girl was a basketball maniac and was great at the game. But this was the first time that she had seen her shooting the ball into the loop.

Song Xing Xing watched as the girl picked up the ball again and started to dribble past one of the boys. The girl was short and this scenery was a little funny. However, in no time, the girl started to jump and shot another ball into the hoop.

The little girl was jumping around happily and then, she suddenly stopped.

"Uncle Lu Xun!" Zhang Li Xue saw the person talking to her father and started to run in the direction.

The moment she heard the name, her heart skipped a beat. Song Xing Xing turned slowly and saw that the person she was waiting for had appeared.

Lu Xun looked up in time and found a little girl hugging his legs. He steadier himself and caught the girl before she would fall.

"Zhang Li Xue, what did I tell you about running around?"

The little girl started to pout when her father scolded her. She looked at her Uncle Lu Xun with pitiful eyes and asked for his help.

"It's fine." Lu Xun patted the little girl's head and looked in the direction where the little girl had come from. From the distance, he seemed to see a figure of someone familiar. Lu Xun pushed the spectacle on the bridge of his nose and narrowed his eyes.

Zhang Li Xue tugged at the tall man's pants and whispered. "Uncle Lu Xun, come over and watch me play basketball."

After a brief consideration, Lu Xun nodded. He excused himself and went towards the basketball court with the little girl. He stopped next to Song Xing Xing and watched as the girl stared back at him with a dazed expression.

Lu Xun chuckled. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

She had thought that he was not going to show up but now, he had appeared in front of her. Song Xing Xing gave him a look over and praised his handsome look.

She quickly snapped out of her trance and smiled. "President Lu Xun… you're here."

Previously, she had already planned what she was going to do when she saw this man again. However, now that the man was in front of her, Song Xing Xing found that her head has gone blank. She did not know how to act or what to think.

Her palms were sweaty and her heart was racing. Even though she had once doubt whether she should continue to pursue this man, when she looked at him again, Song Xing Xing thought that she definitely could not give up on him.

"Mmm… I received an invitation card. Of course, I have to attend."

Song Xing Xing lowered her head, praying that she would not look like an idiot in front of the person she liked. She was too worried that the look in her eyes would look too obvious and Lu Xun was going to find out what she felt about him.

Ever since she found out about Lu Xun's resistance towards the women who wanted to pursue him, Song Xing Xing decided to take it slow. She did not want to scare the man away before she could pursue him.

At this time, the kids were running around and started playing with the balls again.

Song Xing Xing heard the sound of the ball thumping on the ground and thought that it was as loud as the sound of her heart.

Meanwhile, Lu Xun continued to stand at the side as he watched the kids playing basketball. He glanced at the person beside him and caught the way that she kept on looking at him.

A thought came to his mind, but soon, Lu Xun began to look away and pretended that he had not noticed anything.
