As Lin Yiqian’s feet dangled next to Gu Nianshen’s neck on each side, her entire body began to shiver before he had even stood up.
Meanwhile, the three other men who observed them were stunned speechless.
Their mouths were wide open in shock.
Gu Nianshen was a proud and arrogant person who would get annoyed if someone even as much as touched his head by accident.
However, he was actually allowing a woman to sit on his shoulders.
It would have been less surprising if one of the other three men did such an embarrassing thing.
On the other hand, Gu Nianshen seemed to completely disregard them as he picked up the basketball next to him and passed it to Lin Yiqian. “Hold it.”
“Oh… Oh…” Lin Yiqian reacted half a second later as she accepted the ball from him.
She did not have a choice but to rest her arm on top of Gu Nianshen’s head.
“Sit tight,” Gu Nianshen reminded her gently before grabbing onto Lin Yiqian’s legs and slowly standing up.
He was not doing it slowly because he lacked the strength. Instead, it was because he wanted to ensure Lin Yiqian’s safety.
Once he had stood up straight, Lin Yiqian suddenly lost her balance and nearly fell over.
Instinctively, she used her feet to circle around Gu Nianshen’s neck tightly. “Nianshen, it’s too high.”
Taken over by fear, Lin Yiqian had said ‘Nianshen’ without realizing it.
Gu Nianshen felt a tingling sensation in his heart when he heard her.
Smiling, his grip around Lin Yiqian’s legs tightened as he began walking toward the basketball hoop.
“Gu Nianshen, you are being ridiculous.” Li Nanmu finally came to his senses and ran after the couple.
“You said she needed to make three successful shots in a row but you did not specify that she could not use different ways to do it,” Gu Nianshen responded emotionlessly.
Gu Nianshen then lifted his head to look at Lin Yiqian. His voice softened at the sight of her long black hair before his eyes. “Whether you want to be their daughter-in-law or sister-in-law, it’s all on you now.”
“Alright.” Lin Yiqian nodded as she replied softly.
***
After Lin Yiqian had completed each shot, Gu Nianshen would extend one hand to catch the ball, which fell through the hoop before passing it back to Lin Yiqian.
Throughout the process, neither of them spoke. It was as if they had practiced this before.
Everyone’s jaw dropped in surprise.
It was a highly provocative method.
Without any hiccups, Lin Yiqian managed to make three successful shots in a row.
Then, Gu Nianshen turned around as he and Lin Yiqian looked at Li Nanmu and the rest.
The three men all had the same facial expression on their faces.
“Go on. Say it.”
Gu Nianshen took his time to bend down so that Lin Yiqian could get off of him.
Once her feet landed on the ground, Lin Yiqian finally felt at peace.
As she turned her head to look at the man next to her, she felt as if she had just woken up from a dream.
No. It was not a dream. Gu Nianshen had really allowed her to ride on his shoulders.
“You’re cheating. I have never seen anyone making shots like this. It is not counted.” Li Nanmu refused to accept Gu Nianshen’s method.
“I am sure a bachelor like you would never have seen it.” Gu Nianshen snorted.
There was a moment of silence.
Lin Yiqian blinked as she looked at Gu Nianshen in shock.
If Lin Yiqian had understood correctly, Gu Nianshen just announced that Xi Xia was never treated in such a way.
At least, not in front of Li Nanmu and the others anyway.
Lin Yiqian felt overjoyed.
She wanted to give Gu Nianshen a hug so bad right now.
As Lin Yiqian thought of doing so, she began taking small steps toward Gu Nianshen from behind him. However, Gu Nianshen suddenly walked forward to get closer to Li Nanmu.
